Chapter 118 Ambitions of All Countries

Originally, Li Ke had achieved great unification and had greatly improved the lives of the people.

This is a good choice to be an idle Emperor Xiaoyao.

However, although the idea is good, the reality is often not so satisfactory.

Because Li Ke thought that the enemy was gone.

But the enemy is far more than that.

He felt that the Dragon Kingdom was already big enough and strong enough.

But, some neighboring countries seem to have not realized this yet.

It's like, Japan far away.

Japan had already begun to look at the Tang Kingdom and the later Dragon Kingdom long before.

But the strength shown by the Dragon Kingdom once shocked Japan.

Later, the Long Kingdom had been fighting with all parties, and Japan chose to continue to remain silent.

Because they think that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole behind may be a good choice.

now.

The Dragon Kingdom completed the unification, but what Japan saw was not the power of the Dragon Kingdom, but the feeling that the Dragon Kingdom helped them clear all obstacles.

Japan's ambitions have always been great. Not only did they want to take over the Tang and Long countries, but they also wanted to take over the Tuyuhun, Turks, Tubo, Silla Baekje and others at the time.

Now, the Dragon Kingdom has taken over these countries and completed unification, which is in line with the will of Japan.

In this way, they felt that as long as they took over the current Dragon Kingdom, they would be fine.

No need to rule step by step...

So, this ambitious island country began to plan to deal with the Dragon Kingdom.

This is their self-confidence and confusion.

Of course, there must be a reason to go to the battle.

I can't say that I just want to rule you, right? This is not in line with the hypocritical style of Japan.

So, the island country sent a mission to visit Long Country.

But in fact, it is not as simple as visiting, but intentionally to cause trouble.

In addition, the unification of the Dragon Kingdom has attracted the attention of many neighboring countries.

For example, the Nanzhao Kingdom, the Tianzhu Kingdom in the south, etc.

None of these are afraid of the terror of the Dragon Kingdom.

They even wanted to take down the Dragon Kingdom, so that they could become the lords of the Central Plains.

Nanzhao and Tianzhu were also ambitious.

So, now it seems that the enemies of the Dragon Kingdom are not without them.

Dragon Kingdom Palace.

Li Ke looked at the memorial boredly, and there was nothing big about it, so he seemed not very concerned.

At this moment, a eunuch walked up and said:

"Your Majesty, the Japanese mission has arrived. Will you announce it?"

Li Ke shook his head: "No need, let's leave it alone. This arrogant and hypocritical country must not be for any good things."

Li Ke has the worst impression of Japan and has the least favorable impression, so he is so unpolite.

Besides, he is not Japan either.

To fight with Japan, sea warships are essential.

He had previously ordered the vigorous development of warships and sailors.

After all, he comes from modern times and deeply understands that world-class battles all come from the sea.

Only when the maritime power is strong can one defend a country on a large scale.

Especially now that the Long Kingdom has completed its unification, it has a huge coastal area, so it is necessary to develop maritime forces.

Now it has indeed been done. Many warships have been built and muzzles have been installed.

Such warships are enough to destroy countless enemies when they arrive at sea without attacking the enemy.

Therefore, Li Ke was fearless and was not afraid of Japan at all.

The eunuch listened to Li Ke's words and said:

"Your Majesty, this time I came to a prince from Japan. He said he was the representative, and the Emperor of Japan came!"

Li Ke still said: "Have it on!"

"yes!"

The eunuch bowed down.

On the side, Wu Meiniang said: "This Japanese country is really confident. How dare you call yourself the emperor?"

Li Ke disdained: "It's just self-righteous."

"I don't know what I've been satisfied with when I sent a prince this time." Wu Meiniang said again.

Li Ke thought for a while and said, "It's right that you don't have a good intention. Send someone to closely monitor the princes of the Japanese and see what they want to do."

"Yes!" Wu Meiniang nodded, then stood up and left.

Outside the main hall.

The prince of the Japanese country saw the eunuch come out and said lightly: "How!"

The eunuch also said calmly: "Your Majesty said that you have no time lately. Please wait first. When your Majesty has time, you will summon him!"

The Japanese prince was stunned and said, "Have you ever told you that my prince opened it himself?"

"I said it, Your Majesty said, let you wait!" the eunuch said lightly.

These words made the prince of Japan unhappy and said:

"What do you Majesty mean? I am the prince of Japan and came on behalf of my father, the Emperor. You actually said that he will not see you?"

The eunuch was impatient and angrily scolded:

"You have the final say whether my Majesty Long Kingdom wants to see you or not. If you don't agree, you can leave."

After saying that, the eunuch snorted coldly and turned around and left.

The prince of Japan looked ugly, looked at the location of the imperial study room, snorted, and turned around and left.

Wu Meiniang saw all this and then secretly sent someone to monitor the Japanese prince.

The prince of Japan was not arranged to eat and live in the Honglu Temple of Longguo, but lived in an inn.

It was really left by Li Ke aside.

In the next few days, Li Ke received news that the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom would also come to Long Kingdom.
