Three days later, the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion ushered in a sensational event:

The sea ship that sailed to Japan before returned safely and brought back the famous Japanese Buddhist temple to invite the monks, which brought a great auspicious thing to Wei Guogong.

Of course, ordinary people in the market can't see it even if they listen to it, but Wei Guogong set up a banquet in the military palace to entertain the returning envoys and officials, as well as the Japanese monks.

The generals and officials gathered together, Gao Yue sat in the center, and the monk sat opposite.

"The poor monk was born in Otsu, Omi, the country of Wa, and the mountain gate is the Mt. Hiei Tiantai sect, and the legal name is the most clear. This time, I came to Yangzhou first, which was to ask the Duke of Wei Guo to give him a long certificate and a letter to allow the poor monks to go to the Tang Tiantai Sect to ask for the benefit of Buddhism. "This monk's Chinese is very fluent and accurate.

Gao Yue smiled, and asked the most clear way of the Tiantai Sect, do you have an official position?

The most Cheng replied that he was one of the ten Zen masters who served beside the king of the mountain of the Wa Kingdom, and he did have an official position.

In fact, the most Cheng is very smart, he doesn't dare to say that he is serving Emperor Huanwu, because the "emperor" is the self-proclaimed name of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian, and the Japanese are nested for their own use.

Therefore, the most Cheng said that the current king of our country is the king of Yamabe, and the king of Yamabe is the prince of Emperor Kanmu in front of the temple.

Gao Yue didn't break it, but pretended to be very interested in the situation of the Wa Kingdom, and asked the most Cheng who entered the Tang Dynasty to seek the law, saying, "The current name of the Wa Kingdom is Japan, what do you say?" ”

"The name of Japan, which means the place where the sun rises."

Hearing this, all the officials and generals present burst into laughter, and among them, Ming Huaiyi patted his thigh and said, "If the sun rises from your country, will it be blazing and hot, and all the people and animals of your country will be burned to death?" ”

But the most clear was not in a hurry, and explained to Ming Huaiyi: "Sunrise and sunset do not mean that the sun is really somewhere, but relatively. The country also has a title for the Tang country, called 'the country of sunset'. ”

"Bold!" Immediately, many generals glared angrily and made a gesture to draw their swords.

Gao Yue raised his hand, and the whole scene immediately fell silent.

"The place where the sun sets, I never dare to refer to the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, but refers to the Tang Dynasty in the west of our Wa Kingdom, in our eyes, the sun is set on the ground of the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River is the land of 'Wu' in Chinese, and the 'Wu' in the Japanese language is pronounced as kure, which is the same as 'twilight'. On the other hand, in the eyes of the Tang people, the sun rises from the direction of the Haidong Wa Kingdom, so it is called 'Japan', and now the new name of our country is like this. "The most eloquent and eloquent talk.

"What do you mean, monk, Japan is the name given by my Tang Dynasty, or are you waiting for yourself to set it?"

Most Cheng replied to Gao Yue very respectfully, "The name of Japan is undoubtedly from the Tang Dynasty. ”

Only then did the atmosphere in the hall ease up.

Gao Yue asked the most Cheng again, can Japan have an era name? (I know that your era name in 1,200 years is Heisei)

"There are, the year name starts from 'Dabao', and now the year name of the king of the mountain is 'Enreaku', and the Han book 'Fu Xiong Jing Bird Stretch, although the art of Prolonging the Calendar, is not the reason for typhoid fever'."

"What, what do you mean? It's a deep feeling. Guo Zaizhen, Ming Huaiyi and others scratched their ears and cheeks, thinking that this Japanese person was more educated than us.

Only Gao Yue secretly sneered, Xiong Jing Bird Shen is the ancient aerobics, the role is to extend the calendar, that is, "prolong life", this Japan seems to have the problem of "swallowing dates" on Chinese culture early on, aerobics can be related to the year name, and the future year name may not be a joke!

However, Takagaku was more interested in the name of Japan's earliest "Daiho" (although there was a name like Daika before, but there was no system), so he continued to ask Mocheng.

The most Cheng was a little ashamed, and said that it was more than 90 years ago, there was a man named Gose, who said that gold was smelted in Tsushima, and the court and ministers of the Wa Kingdom were all happy, and gave the Taishou of Tsushima the official Jinju, thinking that we also had the "great treasure" of gold, so he built Yuan as a great treasure.

However, it was later learned that it was a hoax and that Gose's gold was actually bought from Silla.

"Is there such a lack of gold in the Wa Kingdom?"

"I didn't know that there was gold and silver in my country before, but now I finally have nothing to lose, just 50 years ago, when the country was building the Buddha of Lushena, Oda-gun of Mutsu Province in the east found that gold could be used to create the golden body of the Buddha, which is really the grace of the Buddha, and it is also the blessing of the king of the country to worship the Three Jewels, and after that, the gold and silver of the country of the country will no longer need to be offered by other countries."

Just after the most Cheng finished saying this, he suddenly felt that Wei Guogong's eyes had changed when he looked at him:

Wei Guogong on the banquet, with beautiful and slender eyes, stared at himself in a daze, like a greedy businessman looking at a gold ingot.

But soon Wei Guogong realized that he was a little out of shape, so he said to the monk, because I and my inner people believe in Buddhism, I am particularly interested in the Lushena Buddha in your country, if only I could attend the pilgrimage!

I see, I heard that this Weiguo Gong conquered Xifan, Dangqiang and Nanban, and killed people like mustard, but who would have thought that he was also an enthusiastic donor inside!

So the most Cheng said that when the Buddha opened his eyes, even the prince of Silla came, and if you can take the time to watch it in the future, it will also be an honor for the country.

"Golden Buddha, no, how much gold does the Lushena Buddha cost?"

"It's 1446 taels."

Gao Yue's throat suddenly grunted up and down a few times, but he still said that it was okay, and soon this way would send a sea ship to your country, and it would be better if he could form a brotherhood with the king of the mountains of your country, so where can you and I be in contact with Zen monks and merchants?

Ji Cheng felt that Wei Guogong was a little strange when he spoke, and a chill also appeared in his heart.

He heard that there was an extremely powerful army under the command of Wei Guogong, as well as an equally terrifying fleet, almost as strong as Tang Tianzi.

Why should such a character be a brother to His Majesty the Emperor...... Alas, it would be better for Japan to be closed and unified......

"Do you have money?" But Wei Guogong's questioning is still not over.

At this time, the most Cheng was already a little vigilant, so he was ready to prevaricate and deceive.

But at this moment, the official of the Governor's Office who had previously gone to Japan replied to Gao Yue on his behalf: Japan had minted money twelve times, but each time he exchanged the old money for ten with the new money, completely lost his credit, and could no longer mint money, and the people did not make money on weekdays, so that there were cases of traveling away, running out of dry food and having no money (not poor, but really not money) to buy rice, and starved to death.

"Do you have a conquest?"

The most clear silence fell.

It was the official who returned like a spy who replied to Gao Yue: Japan also has the concept of four yi, especially the Ezo in the east and the bear attack Hayato in the southwest are the most powerful, and their countries have been fighting endlessly over the years.

"In order to thank the monk for the auspicious rui you brought to this way, immediately after this auspicious rui enters Beijing and dedicates it to the Son of Heaven, this way will send a sea ship to carry the mission, to your country to build purple, and trade the horses of the northern land to your army, with this thing, it is not a problem to level Ezo and Hayato!" Gao Yue was smiling and forced to make a deal with Japan.

Then several fateful warriors brought the most Cheng and the "Haidong Xiangrui" that Gao Yue had designated in advance.

The colorful raccoon slave next to the Wei Guo Gongyin seat suddenly pricked up his ears and roared in a low voice.
