[[[CP|W:282|H:321|A:C|U:http://file1.biquge.info/chapters/20142/26/2197727635290517491145093652119.jpg
It's such a lonely time that passes for a few months in the blink of an eye, and there is no way, if you want to rely on hiking, it will take two months to get here from the seat of Prince Shotoku, which is about the same, not to mention that people still need to do some miscellaneous things here and there on the way, so in fact, it was not long ago that this place was notified.
Prince Shotoku's name is indeed a bit big, so soon Hakuri was informed, but Hakuri has long been aware of this qiē.
Because Huo Qing'e over there has already come to inform once, it can be said that he is very sincere, this time, Prince Shotoku is arrival not only with officials but also with guards, a bit of a search, followed by a lot of servants, back and forth can have this speed is quite good.
This is just one of the stops, and of course, Bori doesn't have much interest, so people here can do whatever they want.
White Lotus also came, because I heard that Meilian also accompanied Prince Shotoku with him at the invitation, and would arrive here together, of course, by the way, he also met with Bailian, and Minglian is now in the court, so it is naturally impossible to go around casually.
This time it's extra magnanimous.
Is it famous, although I don't know what's going on, but it's more or less a matter of honoring the ancestors, Bai Lian doesn't know what kind of concept it is, but since it sounds so good, then there is it.
Anyway, it's true that there is no negative impact, no matter what Ming Ming Lotus is, how should Bai Lian's life be lived.
The small life is good, and there is nothing special about it, Hakuren feels that it has been smooth sailing, but since it is Prince Shotoku who came, Hakuren himself actually does not need to greet her, it is after the host asks her to go, she will pass, there is a large-scale city here, it is a big deal, and it is impossible for Prince Shotoku not to care.
According to Bo Li's judgment, it is estimated that he will officially give the city lord here an official title, the position is uncertain, and the real power may not be there, but he will definitely let him have the actual right to control the local area, but in fact, the result is the same whether it is sealed or not, as for accepting this kind of stupid thing, the current Prince Shotoku can't do it yet, the control of the central government is too weak, in fact, many places are just a name, and there is no other role.
If you forcibly accept it, it will only cause negative effects, and then it will be more than worth the loss.
Therefore, it is estimated that it will be submissive to this side, and will only centralize power when the central government has the ability to manage it, but it is certainly not now.
This can be regarded as a helplessness of the government, this world is too realistic, if you don't have the strength, then you can't get anything, the same, if it weren't for the support of Bo Li, no matter what this person does, I'm afraid he won't be able to do this position, sometimes, where is your lifesaver, smart people should be able to see clearly.
Therefore, he will not make any wrong judgments, and the current Japan is almost in ancient times, and it is difficult for modern people to imagine how to operate smoothly in such an era.
So sometimes it seems, these people are really amazing.
Of course, that's all.
For the legendary prince, there is a little interesting feeling, but if you want to say respect or something, it is really not, but thinking that her younger brother, who has been away from home for half a year, is actually going to come back to visit relatives, she is quite happy, how to say that it is also a relative.
is in such a mood, the prince has come.
Countless people in the city looked out of it to see what this legendary prince was like.
Prince Shotoku rode a horse, a boy holding an umbrella behind him, and a short distance away, there was a carriage that looked beautiful, with gold and silver Watanabe and precious stones, which looked quite luxurious.
Prince Shotoku's arrival drew cheers, and of course the citizens were already ready to greet him, and the same was true for Hakuren.
And it was the first time she had met this Prince Shotoku...... To be honest, the appearance of this crown prince Yan sù scared her a little.
It is indeed a very beautiful face, and it also gives people a very wise feeling, but the momentum on this person's body makes Bai Lian feel a little strange, how to say it......
Forget it, anyway, Bai Lian herself can't say clearly, in the team, she also saw her younger brother, and the other party also noticed her here, but there was no action, there were some monks among the people who followed Prince Shotoku, and nominally this prince still supported the monk's practice, but in the battle between Buddhism and Taoism, it was Buddhism that won.
Nowadays, the most mainstream religion in this country is Buddhism, and White Lotus is also one of them.
Of course, it doesn't matter if there are other beliefs besides Bishamontian, and White Lotus's loyalty to Buddhism is probably only superficial.
After all, no one has taught her how to do Buddhism since she was a child, even if she is the closest brother, she also hopes that she can stop eating fasting and chanting Buddha or something, and obediently go out to find a good family to marry.
It's not hard to understand this mentality, but why do you insist on doing it yourself even though you don't think it's good?
The host laughed all day today, since Bai Lian met this person, he had never seen him so happy, he seriously met Prince Shotoku, and no matter what aspect could not find fault with her etiquette, it can be said that he had done everything on the surface.
He was glad that Prince Shotoku had come, even more than anyone else, because it was a good opportunity.
Prince Shotoku is one of the leaders of Japan, and he is the crown prince of the current dynasty, although he has not inherited the appearance of unification for the time being, but he already has a considerable amount of capital, and the policies pursued by Prince Shotoku have also made great progress in Japan today, and history has always moved forward like this, no matter which country it is.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
A group of people began to greet her, and Hakuren was also in the ranks, and the etiquette still had to be done sufficiently, and the task of taking Prince Shotoku to see Hakuri soon had fallen on her.
However, thinking that he was going to go over with the life lotus, Bai Lian didn't care much about it.
"Long time no see."
When the reception work is over, the rest is the matter of the city lord, the kind of banquet White Lotus will not attend, but the abbot is full of joy to follow, he hopes to be able to show his face in front of Prince Shotoku, and continue to promote Buddhism, just by the way to suppress other things, if there is the support of Prince Shotoku, he, a remote host, may be transferred to the center.
However, it is estimated that it is unlikely to succeed.
Bai Lian and Ming Lian met, and both of them were very happy.
"Yes, it's been a long time, you've been okay lately...... " Looking at the clothes and appearance on Minglian's body, Bai Lian really showed a happy smile, it seems that he has indeed become stronger, he is not very old, and now he looks more temperamental, that's it.
"Well, fortunately, I've read a lot of Buddhist scriptures recently, and I feel that I have a deeper understanding of this." Minglian began to desperately introduce the outside world to Bai Lian, those places with many people, cities where 100,000 people live, crowded bazaars densely packed with thousands of people, this is almost impossible to see in the past.
Today, there are nearly 10,000 people in this city, but it is far from the city over there.
"Is it......" Bai Lian was also startled when she heard it, 100,000 people, what kind of person is that, now there are 10,000 people in the city, she doesn't feel that it can be counted, if there are hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, what is the big Cheng dù, according to Minglian's statement, it is to walk around the city, and the time of the day will pass......
It's such a huge scale, but Meilian expressed shock at the cleanliness of the city now, and praised it fiercely.
Probably, there needs to be progress in all aspects......
However, the somewhat modern management of Renzi is certainly not comparable to the current management system, not to mention that the emperor's talents will not go to great lengths for such a trivial matter.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Hiroshi-sama, so take me with you." Ming Lian said at the end.
