Chapter 29: Hit the left cheek and send the right cheek

The Japanese people stayed in Guozijian on the same day.

Except for a few people such as the dog who stayed in the Ministry of Rites to coordinate some other things, the rest of the Japanese people have become obedient Guozi Jian good students.

And the initiator, Li Kuan, was basking in the sun under the big pomegranate tree in the backyard of the palace.

"Lord Wang, those Japanese people have been sent to the Guozijian and various temples according to your suggestion, and it seems that everyone is very satisfied."

Wang Xuance followed Li Kuan during this time and appeared in the palace of the king of Chu as a staff member.

I am very clear about the conflict between Li Kuan and the Japanese people, and I admire Li Kuan's ability to sell people and let people help count money.

Wang Xuance has been interested in this kind of state-to-state relationship since he was a child.

When I was a child, I listened to the most stories of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and I once fantasized that I would one day be able to intersperse with various countries.

"Hehe, the people of the country have always wanted to go to the Guozijian, but the Ministry of Rites refused to let them, which fulfilled their wishes, of course they were satisfied. As for Guozijian, Kong Yingda, that old guy, only has the interests of the Kong family in his eyes, and he is naturally very happy to have the opportunity to carry forward Confucius's learning. ”

Li Kuan ate a piece of pastry handed over by Qing'er, and chatted lazily with Wang Xuance.

"It is said that half of the treatise rules the world, and the Ministry of Rites regards the scriptures as very precious, only the prince has a long-term vision and knows the so-called strange and obscene skills, which is the most important thing to keep secret from the various feudal states, in my opinion, do we simply prohibit the Tang people from going to the Wa Kingdom?"

Wang Xuance hadn't seriously considered this issue before, but now that it was broken by Li Kuandian, he felt that it seemed very reasonable.

Confucian classics, even if you learn it well, no matter how splendid the governance of the country is, if you can't even refine a piece of iron lump, even a ceramic needs to be purchased from Datang, and you can't make a piece of paper, then what threat do you have?

What is there to be afraid of in Datang?

On the contrary, if the Wa Kingdom learns the advanced technology of Datang and makes a good sword, even if it is chaos in the country, it may bring trouble to Datang.

Aren't the Wakos of later generations essentially the ronins of the Wa Kingdom?

"No, there is no point in closing the country. On the contrary, I think we should go abroad and sell our stuff all over the world. ”

It can't be said that Wang Xuance's vision is so bad, in fact, after more than a thousand years, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are still thinking of closing the country.

"Shinong Industry and Commerce, if business is placed in such an important position, it is estimated that many imperial historians will jump out to impeach the prince."

"Not necessarily! If the nobles of Chang'an City can benefit from overseas trade, Yushitai may not have the courage to impeach everywhere, at most, when it comes to interest disputes, they will take them out and attack each other. ”

"Lord, there are envoys from the Japanese Kingdom outside the palace who ask to see you!"

Li Kuan and Wang Xuance were chatting, but suddenly someone came to report.

"Why did the Japanese come to see me?" Li Kuan was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "Could it be that you still want to take revenge?" ”

"Lord, from the perspective of his subordinates, the people of the Japanese country should not have the courage to do so."

Wang Xuance felt that the people of the Japanese Kingdom should be very happy that they could go to Guozijian to study, and they would not come to trouble Li Kuan again at this time.

"Forget it, this king will know what's going on when he sees it, so let's bring it here directly."

Meeting the envoys of the Japanese State under the pomegranate tree can be said to be a bit disrespectful.

But Li Kuan did not mean to respect the Japanese people at all.

Not long after, his own subordinates led the dog up the mountain field to Li Kuan.

"The envoy of the lower kingdom has seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty!"

The dog directly gave Li Kuan a ninety-degree bow, which was very polite.

It seems that no matter whether it is now or the future, when the Japanese people meet people, they always look polite, but in fact, only they know what they think in their hearts.

"You are the envoy sent by the State of the Japanese State to the Tang Dynasty to make the dog go to the mountain field? I heard that your level of Sinology is very high, and even your poems are better than those written by the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Kuan glanced at the dog and did not get up from the recliner.

"The prince has won the award, and he admires the Tang culture, where do you dare to say anything. If you want to talk about poetry, the prince's poem that was once difficult for the sea to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud is a masterpiece that has really been passed down through the ages. ”

Li Kuan is not in the mood to blow each other with the dog in that business, there is no need for that, the status of the two people is not at the same level at all.

"Ben Wang is young and has little patience. Inuage, why did you come to this king today? ”

"The prince is open-minded, and his subordinates really admire it. I came to see the prince today, mainly for two purposes, one is to apologize to the prince for the dog and cause trouble to the prince. If it weren't for his inconvenience today, I originally wanted to take him directly over to kowtow to the prince to apologize. ”

Inougami Yamada has been in Chang'an City for a while, and he is naturally very clear about Li Kuan's status as a prince in the Tang Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, among Li Shimin's sons, except for Li Chengqian and Li Tai, the status of the other princes is really not as good as Li Kuan.

Even Li Ke, the king of Wu, didn't dare to hold it up when he saw Li Kuan.

So the dog is still very respectful in front of Li Kuan.

This is probably the nature of the Japanese people, and when they saw a strong opponent, they knelt down and licked it.

When you encounter a weak opponent, you will be bullied to the death.

"No need, just let him stay away from me in the future!"

Although Inuichiro didn't take advantage of him that day, and even became a eunuch, Li Kuan didn't mean to forgive him at all.

Ya, even Lao Tzu's personal maidservant you dare to make up your mind.

If you don't waste you, do you really think Chang'an City is Nara?

"Lord Wang, don't worry, when the dog sees the prince in the future, he will definitely hide away." Inoushang smiled awkwardly, "This time the Tang envoy was able to go to the country to study, I heard that the prince proposed it to His Majesty, and the ministers hereby thank the prince, just thank you, not a respect, please smile at the prince." ”

Inoumi Yamada finished speaking, and took out a gift slip from his arms.

Wang Xuance saw that Li Kuan had no intention of refusing to accept the gift, so he took the gift list from the dog's hand.

Scold!

The dog is really bloody!

There are several pairs of utensils made of gold on the gift list, such as gold bowls, gold chopsticks, gold spoons, and gold knives.

It seems that the Wa Kingdom is not very short of gold.

"Inuage, you didn't come today just to apologize and thank you, right?"

Li Kuan didn't mean that he was soft on others, and he was ready to mention others to do things after receiving the gift.

I just feel that it is necessary to figure out what Inougami thinks and see what the Japanese people plan to do next.

"The prince smiled, the ministers are mainly here to apologize and thank you today, and by the way, there is a reluctant invitation, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

Inoue Yamada's face is thick enough, no matter what Li Kuan's attitude is, he always keeps a smile.

"It's a reluctant invitation, so don't say it!"

Li Kuan's words directly choked the dog.

I'll just be polite!
