Chapter 747: Frustration of his ambition
When it came to this, he had already lowered his head, Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, etc., all eased their complexions, and were about to speak, but Li Mu still did not relent: "People, you must be clear about your identity, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a ritual system in the Central Plains, and the six armies of the Son of Heaven were 1,000 times each, a total of 6,000 times; the three armed forces of the great powers; the two armies of China; A small country with an army. Now my Datang is more than ten thousand times, it is naturally a big country among big countries, so our Tang Emperor is only called the Son of Heaven and the Khan of Heaven. Do you have a hundred multipliers in your kingdom? A thousand times can be called a 'country', and a small country that does not have a hundred times can dare to be called the 'emperor', isn't it ridiculous and generous? ”
"Yes, yes, the lower country is guilty, and I hope that the upper kingdom is ignorant in the lower country, don't blame." Inugami Mita was trembling, kneeling on the ground and shivering, I don't know if he was really shaking or fake shaking, anyway, it looked like he was shaking evenly. The little monk was trembling when he looked at it, but he wasn't afraid, he was angry. In his eyes, Li Mu is bullying people, there is a way to kill people but not to nod the ground, we are already kneeling on the ground, and we are still unforgiving, is it a bit excessive.
As soon as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Master Huiri. He is young, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he does not know the weight. But the old monk Huiri knew that the person who spoke now was called Li Mu, and his power was like the sky. Even if he fought with his uncle of the dynasty, he won in the end, and such a character could not be offended.
"You are indeed ignorant." Li Mu seemed to be a little relieved, stretched out his hand to take the national letter in the hand of Inougami Mita, glanced at it casually, and hummed: "What is this, and you dare to play my Imperial Majesty?" He pointed to a line of words on the national letter, showed it to Inugami Mita, and said, "Come on, come on, you explain to me, what does it mean to request a change in the title?" ”
"Ahh Inougami Mita hurriedly kowtowed again, and said: "Hou Ye Rongyu, up and down the Wa Kingdom, admire the Heavenly Empire, from the sky-" Seeing Li Mu's eyes narrowed, Inugami Mita hurriedly changed his words: "From the king to the common people, they are all proud of the writing of the Heavenly Dynasty." Previously, he also sent a mission to the Central Plains to learn the music and rhythm of Central Plains culture. Knowing that in the Central Plains, many people called the Wa Kingdom a Japanese slave, which was a little malicious, so the king wanted to take advantage of the occasion of the peace of the Turks on the occasion of the Shang Kingdom, and implored him to change the title. The Japanese kingdom has come out recently, so you might as well take the day-"
Before the word "Ben" could be spoken, it was interrupted by Li Mu: "What did you just say?" Your name is Inuage, right? ”
Inougami Mita hurriedly responded: "Master Hou, it is the envoy." ”
"Where are you?" Without waiting for him to answer, Li Mu said sharply: "This is the Taiji Palace!" ”
Li Shimin rolled his eyes angrily, thinking, stinky boy, you still know that this is the Taiji Palace, but outsiders didn't dare to offend, but you shouted!
Inougami Mita knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, and Li Mu threw the national letter in front of him again: "What is this?" Credentials? Don't you kings have anything to say? Do you want to change your account? And for good reason? Just because the title is not good? You should be buying groceries at the market, and you can still bargain? ”
Inugami Mita whispered weakly: "Master Hou, this title is really not good-"
"What's wrong with that? How did it become unpleasant? Li Mu snorted coldly and said, "You did it all yourself, you deserve it!" ”
Yixiu couldn't help it, broke free of his master's hand, and said, "Master Hou, it makes no sense for you to say this. ”
"Shut up, little ones!"
Hui Ri hurriedly rushed over and covered Ikyu's mouth, refusing to let go no matter how Ikyu struggled. Inugami Mita also showed fear, looking at Ikyu's side, seemingly very nervous. Seeing this, Li Mu secretly said in his heart, could it be that this kid's identity is not ordinary? Otherwise, why does even Inugami Mita, who is a messenger, care so much about him.
But after all, this matter is not in a hurry, and it is not worth being distracted, Li Mu continued to follow the established rhythm, and said to Inugami Mita: "Since you want to ask the truth, then Ben Hou will tell you about this reason." You are ignorant and uneducated, I, the first genius of the Tang Dynasty, will give you a word to explain the words, listen carefully, and keep it in your heart. Datang is a state of etiquette, everything makes sense, if you don't understand the reason, it's your own business, find the reason from yourself. ”
In this way, Li Mu can say it, Li Shimin is a little embarrassed to hear it, sitting behind the table and pretending not to hear, but Wei Zheng is quite interested, he is not surprised by Li Mu's rudeness, this time it is an outsider, he naturally has no opinion, just curious about what Li Mu can say.
"The word 倭 first appeared in the "Book of Songs": four peons and horses, Zhou Dao and late. Even if you are no longer educated, you should know the "Book of Songs", the "Book of Songs" in the Central Plains is called "Ya", and it is "Daya", the chapters and sentences that appear in the "Book of Songs" are all very elegant, and the word "Wa" refers to the far-reaching meaning of twists and turns, and there is no malice. In the Later Han Dynasty, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom met the Emperor of the Central Plains for the first time and made it clear that they would submit. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty read that he came from afar, and gave a gold seal, on which the five words "King of the Han Dynasty" were written. This is where the term "Japanese slave" comes from. At that time, the envoy once said that the Wa State "hoped that it would submit" to the Han Dynasty. Since then, this word has also had the meaning of obedience, and there is no malice at all. For hundreds of years after that, there was no incident, and there was no malice. ”
"But why is it that in modern times, there is malice?" Li Mu approached Inugami Mita and said, "Do you really have no problem in your heart?" ”
Inougami Mita was drenched in cold sweat, didn't dare to raise his head, and said, "The envoy doesn't understand what Master Hou means." ”
Ben Hou studied this matter, because of the previous dynasty, sent the Sui envoy Zeng Shangguo, saying that "the sunrise of the Son of Heaven to the book of the day of the Son of Heaven" words, the Wa State is not a minister, dare to be compared with the Central Plains Shangguo, angered the government and the opposition, since then the reputation of the Wa State has continued to decline. Originally, Ben Hou was skeptical about the story of the previous dynasty, because this matter was too ridiculous, Ben Hou really couldn't imagine how a small country like Er, a small country, a small land, could muster up the courage to be compared with the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains, but look at the word 'emperor' in your mouth, Ben Hou understands, the story of the previous dynasty is true, and you are really arrogant and arrogant! ”
"Ben Hou said that you did it yourself, is it wrong?" Li Mu sneered and said, "Don't think that you live overseas, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is no way to take you, have you heard about the matter of the Wanshi ship?" On the day when the Wanshi ship is created, sail out to sea, and the little Wa Kingdom will be wiped out with a flick of your fingers, and see how your Wa King still dreams of the 'Emperor'! ”
