Moreover, he still followed his father's teachings, completely relaxed his body and mind, and cultivated in strict accordance with the requirements of the exercises.

Three days later, the gift-giving armies of the Warat and the Uliangha arrived, represented by Princess Temuyuhua, and the Uliangha sent Prince Yudu, the third son of the Uliangha Khan.

Although the kings of Warat and Uliangha called themselves khans, they were only confined to the inner group and still called themselves kings externally, because the only khan recognized in the steppes was the king of Altan, and if others called him Khan externally, it would be an open confrontation with the king of Altan.

The khan is the same as the emperor in the mainland, there are no two days and no two people, and the same rule is true on the grassland. This is the rule set by Genghis Khan when he gathered with all the tribes in the river of trouble: there is only one khan and only one co-lord on the steppe.

This gathering on the prairie, like Liu Bang's extermination of the king and princes with different surnames, formulated the ruling strategy of the Han nation: if you are not a king of the Liu family, you will not be a marquis, and you will not be a marquis unless you have military achievements.

This policy formulated by Liu Bang, which was implemented from the Western Han Dynasty, influenced the Han people for more than 1,000 years and became the most important policy for the continuation of the dynasty. Until the Ming Dynasty, this policy still played a major role.

After receiving the letters from their respective khans, they sent notices to them before leaving, stating that their khans had sent princes and princesses to send state gifts to His Royal Highness the Great Ming Dynasty, and had no other intentions.

They are really afraid, lest the Ming Qincha find some excuse to touch the porcelain, in that case, I don't know how much money will have to be spent to avoid the disaster, and they can't hang their face.

Moreover, after receiving the report, he was also stunned, he originally just wanted to delay for a while, and he had no intention of making trouble with Wara and Uliangha, but he didn't expect these two clans to take it seriously and send princes and princesses to give him gifts.

Seeing the gift list again, I was even more shocked, the calligraphy and painting are all the authentic works of the famous artists of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and there is actually a calligraphy work of Emperor Wu of Liang.

Moreover, not only was he excited, but he was even a little flustered, standing up and walking a few steps in a row. It's also incredible.

Emperor Wu of Liang was a Buddha all his life, and later died because of this, but it is undeniable that this is a talented founder of the country, but he is too persistent in believing in Buddhism, and he sold himself to Buddhist temples several times, and then the prime ministers and ministers gathered sky-high gold and silver to redeem him.

This kind of farce of the Arabian Nights Emperor Liang Wu did it more than once, and he came back again in a few years, and he had no intention of governing the government, and the money was collected in the hands of those big monasteries, and as a result, the people in his world were miserable.

Emperor Wu of Liang's later demise had nothing to do with believing in Buddhism or not, but he made too many mistakes.

Moreover, when reading history, I carefully studied the deeds of Emperor Wu of Liang, and came to my own experience of reading history, and the Ming court made the same mistake as Emperor Wu of Liang.

What's at fault? It is too much attention to the preferential treatment of scholars and gentry, and too cruelty to make the small people. However, Emperor Wu of Liang's mistakes were made by his own personal intentions, while the Ming Dynasty was caused by the control of the civilian bureaucracy.

One yard to one yard, Emperor Wu of Liang's calligraphy works are a must, got the true biography of Wang Xizhi, Wang Xizhi can sit on the chair of the saint of calligraphy, and Emperor Wu of Liang's high-profile inheritance is directly related, and the so-called "right army is like a dragon, Beihai is like an elephant" is derived from his words.

As we all know, Tang Taizong Li Shimin is a die-hard fan of Wang Xizhi, Wang Xizhi can finally establish the status of the first person in the history of calligraphy, Li Shimin can be regarded as taking the baton from Emperor Wu of Liang.

Of course, Wang Xizhi is indeed worthy of the laurel of the sage of calligraphy, not only the two emperors touted him, but also the calligraphy world is also a word for him, and the future generations have stood majestically for more than a thousand years. This fully shows that only true artistic value can be recognized for thousands of years.

In fact, Li Shimin did not learn Wang Xizhi, but the calligraphy of Emperor Wu of Liang.

This public case has deep meaning.

Later generations know that although Li Shimin got Wang Xizhi's masterpiece "Lanting Collection Preface", he also copied it tirelessly day and night, but he did not get the true biography of the Wang family's penmanship, so he could only copy the four dislikes. In the end, he started with the calligraphy of Emperor Wu of Liang, but he also achieved good results.

Here's the secret: Wang Xizhi's calligraphy must be passed down to the highest level of Wang family's calligraphy, and it still does this today.

And why the excitement? It's not that I got Wang Xizhi's authentic handiwork.

The key is that there are still a few pieces of Wang Xizhi's works handed down, and none of Emperor Liang Wudi's works have been circulated in later generations, so when he saw a calligraphy work by Emperor Liang Wu marked on the gift list, his eyes were about to fall off.

When he doesn't see the real thing, he can't be sure if it's genuine, but even if he does, he can't identify it. Because there is no comparison and no identification, since Emperor Wu of Liang has no authentic handiwork handed down, he cannot identify the authenticity of this work.

Despite this, he is still trying his best to suppress the shock and joy in his heart, regardless of authenticity, as long as it is the work of the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, even if it is the work of Emperor Wu of Liang who was copied at that time, it is also a masterpiece that can not be found.

Next, he was shocked again, he actually saw a lot of Song edition books in the two gift lists, and the most surprising thing for him was that the Song version of the books in the gifts provided by the two gift lists could actually make up a set of history books.

They are: Zuo Chuan, Historical Records, Han Shu, Later Han Shu, Three Kingdoms, Jin Shu, New and Old Tang Shu.

Besides, convinced, these two clans seem to have a background that cannot be underestimated, there are so many treasures hidden in the treasury, of course, these things were looted from the royal family of the Song Dynasty by the two major dynasties of Jin and Yuan.

It is estimated that no one in these two clans knows the value of the Song version of the book and those calligraphy and paintings, otherwise they would not have given them as gifts even if they were killed.

These gifts are priceless. Besides, of course, I won't remind them, so I'd better make a fortune myself.

For the people outside the country, these calligraphy and painting books are indeed of little value, at least there is no chance of monetization. The reason why they have been kept is more because these antiquities symbolize the immortal achievements of their ancestors and are somewhat commemorative.

Since Da Ming Qin almost stops, playing with porcelain, and wants a national gift, then take these worthless things to perfunctory him. This is what the Khans of the Two Clans really thought.

Calligraphy and painting only have unique artistic value in the eyes of people who know how to appreciate it, the main value of the Song version of the book is the proofreading, in addition, the Song version of the book is generally a single book, it is difficult to find two copies of the same edition of the Song version of the book, to find two editions of the same Song version of the book, than to find two identical leaves of the difficulty.

The calligraphy and painting works and Song editions sent by the two clans are of course priceless treasures in the eyes of connoisseurs, but they are really useless in the hands of ignorant or ordinary people.

There were five dynasties and ten kingdoms in the first brutal and bloody killing, and then there was the iron-blooded extinction of the Yuan Dynasty, and the so-called Swen in Dongpo was swept away, which is not enough to describe the great disasters in the history of these two cultures.

In addition, the books handed down in ancient times, because of the hand-copied from generation to generation, often have the disadvantage of being false, and there are many books, all of which are incomplete, which requires finding some unique books and rare books to proofread and improve, and the greatest significance of the Song version of the book lies in this.

If it is a novel, there is no problem even if there are many faults, but the Four Books and Five Classics and the Hundred Schools of Thought are all works intended by the sages, and their subtle words are just a wrong word, which may lead the interpretation of later generations of scholars to the wrong road.

Therefore, to supplement these classics is to improve Chinese culture and improve the mastery of the writings of the sages. This is also the root cause of the excitement.

The Song Dynasty was the most prosperous era of Chinese culture, since the beginning of Song Taizong, it took the rule of culture as the national policy, and poured the efforts of countless talents into it, and began to make up for the missing classics one by one, and the imperial court opened a school survey museum.

At that time, many great talents who became famous in the imperial examination entered the collation hall to do the work of perfecting ancient books, and the Ming Dynasty also had a post of collation, but it was more symbolic, rather than really doing the work of proofreading, and it was the Chinese book that did the proofreading work in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the literati of the Song Dynasty who made the greatest contribution to the classics of the sages, such as Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu, Song Qi, and Fan Zhen, who were famous in later generations, and their achievements were concentrated in the Song edition of the book, and later generations attached great importance to the Song edition of the book, which is for this reason.

Moreover, although he is a literati, although he does not do the work of proofreading, he also knows the value of these Song edition books, each of which is a unique book, and has an irreplaceable role and value.

"Are you satisfied with their gifts?" Ji Chang saw the irrepressible joy on his face, and asked tentatively.

"Satisfied, so satisfied, it is worth the trip to receive such a batch of gifts." Besides, it is like the color channel.

"This is what I reminded them, saying that you don't like gold and silver, but you like ancient books." Ji Chang immediately expressed his merits.

"Well, you're doing a good job, go on, go on, go on." Besides, he nodded.

"Your Excellency still wants to blackmail the king of Alda?" Ji Chang's mouth opened wide.

"yes, why not do it if you have the chance?" Besides, he laughed.

"Then you have to have a chance."

"If you don't have a chance, can't you create it?"

Besides, he is already full of longing for the trip to Bansheng City, the Warat and Uliangha tribes have such a background, and the Tatar clan has a richer heritage, if you can get a set of Song version of the hundred schools of Zhuzi, it will be perfect.

Of course, he just thinks about it, the Song version of the book is absolutely unattainable, not that whoever has enough background will definitely be able to get it, but in terms of heritage, in fact, it is still the most sufficient in the mainland court.

"Go and inform Lord Cao and let them get ready to meet the princes and princesses of these two clans." Besides.

"Do you want the adults to be involved in this?" Ji Chang asked.

Besides, he has always been alone in the outside world, and rarely cooperates with Cao Delin and them, he can see with his eyes that these officials have their own evil intentions and often turn good things into bad things, how can they be willing to make do with them.

But this time is different, and I am going to take the opportunity to have a grand event, one is to give the two tribes of Warat and Uliangha a face, and the other is to make the scene bigger, and the time can naturally be prolonged, even if it is a day and a half. What he needs most now is to find all sorts of excuses to procrastinate.

Ji Chang immediately ran to convey the order to Cao Delin and other officials.

When Cao Delin and the others heard this, they were very satisfied, and they finally remembered them. These days, Lord Chincha has been throwing them aside and ignoring them at all.

The officials had been holding their breath for a long time, but they didn't have a chance to attack, but in their respective recitals to the court, they all vented their dissatisfaction with the situation.

"Please return to Lord Qincha, we will be there on time." Cao Delin said loudly.
