Zhang Nan held his forehead and Cheng Yaojin's big mouth turned off Li Jing's face and pressed it on the ground, then rubbed it hard, although Li Jing was not such a stingy person.

However, Cheng Yaojin's post basically announced the bets made by the two of them in the entire officialdom. Moreover, Li Jing lost miserably. Fortunately, Li Jing is now begging for bones and doesn't have to come to court every day, otherwise Li Jing would have to take a few days of sick leave.

"But I'm very curious, Qingquan, what method did you use to beat the pharmacist? I know that you know nothing about military use." Li Er looked at Zhang Nan curiously and asked.

Although Zhang Nan is not much different from the All-Captain in Comrade Li Er's mind, Li Er knows that Zhang Nan cannot command the army.

"Your Majesty, you underestimate me too much. This minister can't command thousands of troops, and he can't command eleven people anymore? Besides, this football is just like Cuju, but it's not Cuju. I have been playing this thing since I was a child, so I naturally understand more. So there is no need to keep holding on to General Li Jing if he loses to me." Zhang Nan replied.

"You know how to be a human being." Li Er didn't say much when he heard Zhang Nan say this.

"Okay, let's talk about serious business. Japan seems to be a little uneasy recently." Comrade Li Er said.

"Water?" When Zhang Nan heard Li Er say this, he scratched his head strangely. Zhang Nan hadn't heard this name for a long time. If Comrade Li Er hadn't mentioned it, Zhang Nan would have almost thought that Japan had been killed by the Tang Dynasty.

"That's right, it's Japan. Since we cleared all the envoys they sent to send out the Tang Dynasty and restricted them from coming to the Tang Dynasty, they have been jumping, hoping to come to the Tang Dynasty to study." Li Er said.

"Your Majesty, isn't this very normal? Japan is small in area, has few products and a small population. Isn't it very normal for them to rely on my Tang Dynasty to learn from the advanced things of my Tang Dynasty?" Changsun Wuji was also very strange.

"Yes, that's right, I think so too, but in the past three months, the Japanese people have not sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and there is no news at all. Originally, the Japanese merchants were still in contact with some merchants in our Tang Dynasty. I have always turned a blind eye to this matter. After all, I still need to grasp the movements of the Japanese. But in the past three months, the Japanese actually drove all the merchants of our Tang Dynasty out of Japan and did not allow the Tang Dynasty to do business with their Japanese." Li Er was also a little angry when he said this.

Since ancient times, of course, only strong countries can make decisions. When can even small countries limit the actions of large countries?

"They have their heads twitched? I have to give up the only opportunity to contact our Tang Dynasty?" Zhang Nan was surprised. This was obviously not the character of the Japanese. Logically speaking, the Japanese are definitely the kind of people who will never give up until they achieve their goals.

Especially at the national level, even if they are shameless, as long as they are beneficial to the country, they can do it. Now, what is this? Is it a way out?

"According to the businessmen who returned from Japan, they heard Silla wherever they said." Li Er's face was a little unhappy when he said this.

"Your Majesty, do you think Silla and the Japanese have gotten together? It is an attempt to be unfavorable to my Tang Dynasty?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"I don't think Silla has the courage. After all, Silla and the Tang Dynasty can be said to have jointly defended the enemy, so it shouldn't be." There is no reason for Li Er to say this. After all, Silla's queen is still in Comrade Li Er's harem.

"I also think it is unlikely. After all, Silla does not have the courage to do so. Although Silla is a country now, in my opinion, it won't take long. Silla will sooner or later become one of the prefectures of our Tang Dynasty." Zhang Nan also pinched his chin and said.

"I think so too." Li Er nodded and said.

"Emperor, do you think there is such a possibility? That is, Baekje and Goguryeo secretly contacted Japan, passed on what they learned from our Tang Dynasty to Japan, and then borrowed the advantages of the emperor Shangao of the Wai Dynasty and our rejection of him, quietly recuperated and planned to make a comeback?" Zhang Nan suddenly thought of a possibility.

"It's not unreasonable for you to say it." When Li Er heard Zhang Nan say this, he suddenly realized that there was a possibility that Zhang Nan said.

After all, the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty have been too peaceful in recent times, and it is a bit too peaceful. Not only is there no enemy invading the border, but even the Tubo and the Turks frequently show goodwill to the Tang Dynasty, without any thorns. The Goguryeo people have been driven out of their homeland. As for where they go, it is not what Comrade Li Er cares about.

Now thinking about it, it would be impossible for them to hide in Japan with Baekje.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was too powerful, and they basically had no possibility of competition.

Japan also needs technology that is better than them, and the Goguryeo and Baekje people who fled to Japan helped them very well. Therefore, Japan should have given up on the Tang Dynasty after finding a new father who they thought was very satisfied with.

Of course, they also knew the power of the Tang Dynasty, so they could only drive people out of the country like the Tang Dynasty, but they did not dare to kill people. Otherwise, according to the Japanese character, under the restrictions of the Tang Dynasty, they finally had the opportunity to escape the restrictions, so they would definitely use those group of merchants to sacrifice the flag.

"If this is the case, the emperor doesn't have to worry too much. Goguryeo and Baekje can't cause any storms. If they want to come and fight us, they must build more ships first. As for their small wooden ships, they may not even get close to us and will be sunk by us." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

After Zhang Nan said this, the court officials also laughed.

Li Er also smiled and pointed Zhang Nan, then said, "Qingquan, what do you mean by me?"

In fact, Comrade Li Er and Zhang Nan thought about it. After all, Comrade Li Er was very satisfied with the military strength of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention that Baekje Goguryeo and Japan were mixed up, even if the countries around the Tang Dynasty were fighting against the Tang Dynasty at the same time, Comrade Li Er was not at all false.

After all, the cement roads in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be well-connected. Once war starts, steaming cars can transport supplies to the places they want to go in the shortest time. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has had good weather in recent years. Even if potatoes are still breeding, the food is enough.

So Comrade Li Er was not afraid at all, and even had a vague expectation in his heart. After all, he had not done anything for a long time. Now, Li Chengqian helped him handle the small things in the court, but there were no big things. Li Er could be said to be idle and even lice are about to grow.
