At this time Shitou ran over with one, two, three and four.

When the four big dogs saw Li Shen, they immediately ran over with their heads wagging and their tails wagging. Jin Chunqiu and King Jin Wen were so frightened that they almost turned around and ran away.

"Stop." Li Shen shouted softly.

Under the surprised gazes of Jin Chunqiu and the other two, the four dogs stopped obediently.

"sit."

"Get down."

"Get out of here."

Li Shen happily teased the four shepherd dogs and enjoyed it, but he never let them himself.

"Okay, take them away, give them a bath, they're all dirty, and add some mutton to them tonight."

After playing for a while, Li Shen waved his hand, then turned to look at Jin Chunqiu and King Jin Wen.

"Do you understand?"

"Ok?"

The two of them were stunned for a moment. They didn't understand what King Ji meant. They understood everything. Didn't you haven't said it yet?

Li Shen sat on the seat in the corridor and said:

"Look at these four dogs. Their main mission in Prince Ji's Mansion is to beg for mercy and please me.

Because they know that as long as they can please the king, they can get food, and it is food that cannot be eaten outside.

They only eat dozens of pounds of beef a day, which is better than what ordinary nobles eat, so they work hard to perform for me.

I have been raising them all the time. I usually have no time to deal with them. I can only take care of them in my spare time or when I am in a bad mood.

Only then would he call them over and play with them to relieve his tired mood.

They never dared to bart their teeth at me, nor did they dare to bark at me, because they didn't dare.

Because if they are made, they will become a dish on the king's table.

The king allows them to run around freely in the palace, but they know where they can go and where they cannot go. If they go there, they will die.

Sometimes they will fight with each other, but they will stop as long as the king scolds them, otherwise they will be beaten.

They can survive until now because they are smart, and those who are not smart have already entered the king's belly.

You can also raise them if you have time, it’s very fun. "

Li Shen took the wet handkerchief handed over by Shi Shi and wiped his hands, then took the fruit Chun Xiang threw over and ate it.

When Jin Chunqiu and his son heard Li Shen jokingly talk about his experience in raising dogs, they didn't understand it at first.

But as he listened, Jin Chunqiu's face began to look ugly.

What King Ji meant by this was to compare these vassal states to dogs raised by the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why they are not exterminated is because you can play with them when you have nothing to do. Their tribute and worship are said to be begging for mercy.

And each time the generous return gift was just a piece of meat thrown by King Ji to the dog.

This prince is really arrogant.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, aren't you afraid of attracting criticism if you humiliate our country like this? Prince Ji's attitude will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

Jin Chunqiu asked with a dark face.

"Diplomatic relations? Hahahaha, Jin Chunqiu, I heard that you are also a prime minister of Silla. Do you think that I am too young and don't understand anything?

I will give you a sentence today: A weak country has no diplomatic relations. "Li Shen laughed.

Li Shen didn't want to say many things so straightforwardly, making him look like a villain.

"A weak country has no diplomatic relations..." Jin Chunqiu was stunned. He had never thought that a prince of the Tang Dynasty would have such thoughts.

They have always believed that the Tang Dynasty was a state of etiquette, showing the demeanor of a great country everywhere.

So as long as they lower their profile, they can benefit from Datang.

Even the ministers in the Tang Dynasty court treated them with courtesy and maintained a civilized and generous attitude.

How could there be a special case like King Ji in the Tang Dynasty? Was it King Ji who was a special case or the entire Tang Dynasty thought this way.

This was very important to them, so they tentatively asked:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, the Tang Dynasty has always been a country of etiquette, how could he be so arrogant like you?

It seems that His Highness, Prince Ji, has some objections to us foreign vassals. "

"No, no, no, I have no objection to you. The Tang Dynasty is vast and rich, and there is wealth everywhere, so it doesn't hurt to give you some benefits.

But you must remember that what is given to you is yours.

Don't try to ask for what has not been given to you, otherwise the owner will be unhappy and may take back what was given before.

do you understand? "Li Shen stood up and looked down at Jin Chunqiu, with a natural sense of oppression.

"Outside, I understand." Jin Chunqiu took a step back and immediately saluted. This young prince was difficult to deal with.

In fact, Li Shen originally wanted to say that the officials of the Tang Dynasty were not gentlemen. If you have gold and silver mountains there,

See if these scholars will suggest attacking you.

The main reason why civil servants opposed war was that they could not benefit from war. This was indeed the case in all dynasties.

"As long as you understand, learn more about our Confucian culture in the Tang Dynasty, and you will be able to govern the country and manage the people well after you return.

You should also know some other ideas through the officials of Honglu Temple.

It is enough for you to be prosperous and wealthy and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Don't have other ideas. "

Li Shen gave a final warning. Although it may not have any effect, he does hate this cosmic nation.

Jin Chunqiu had a completely new understanding of the prince of the Tang Dynasty today. This Prince Ji was not simple.

He seemed to be a playboy, but every word he spoke was like a knife, creating a fierce force all over his body.

Judging from King Ji's intentions, if Silla went too far, Datang would most likely not show mercy.

Fortunately, Queen Seondeok and Tang Dynasty have laid a good foundation.

"Thank you very much for your teachings, His Highness Prince Ji. I have benefited a lot from His Highness Prince Ji's words today. I, Silla, will always follow the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty and remain loyal to the Tang Dynasty."

Jin Chunqiu bowed to show his loyalty.

"Datang Kingdom? It sounds so ugly." Li Shen muttered with a frown.

"If your envoy has nothing else to do, please come back." Li Shen began to see off the guests.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ji, I have something to ask for." I didn't expect that Jin Chunqiu actually had something to ask for.

"Huh?" Li Shen looked impatient.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, Baekje has captured dozens of cities in Silla. The key thing is that it has blocked our way here.

If they continue to attack, I'm afraid we won't even have the chance to pay tribute.

I also hope that His Highness King Ji can help us to make suggestions in the court and help Silla regain its lost territory. "

"Didn't His Majesty already agree to this?" Li Shen was a little confused after hearing this.

"His Majesty King Ji, although Your Majesty agreed, some ministers thought that this was a matter between vassal states.

As the Celestial Kingdom, we should not interfere, so we opposed the Tang Dynasty sending troops. "

Jin Chunqiu was also helpless.
