Chapter 94: The Great Flower Forest Banquet of the Monarchs of the Nations, Burying the Loyal Bones, Mr. Li Looks at Chang'an (I)
The wheels of history are rolling forward; Everyone prays for peace, but peace can only be achieved through war. Throughout history, even if a country is strong, it cannot talk about peace when it is weak; Therefore, only when the country is strong can it give the people a happy and healthy life forever.
And Wang Xuance broke Alonashun in these five Indian lands this time and captured his princess Almita. Although the five Indians were shocked, there were more than 500 cities that descended from the wind; But this is also a feat that can only be achieved when forced to be helpless. So, in the end, he was only ready to wave his sleeves and not take away a cloud; Leave peace and the glory of the Tang Dynasty......
But on this day, it was another windy and beautiful day, a sunny day, accompanied by a gentle breeze, and the fragrance of flowers filled the whole large flower forest. Take a closer look at today's big flower forest, flowers are in full bloom, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and all kinds of delicate flowers are dotted here, this piece of wonder created by nature.
There are so many flowers, look at this one is very beautiful, look at that one is also very beautiful, densely next to each other, as if chatting together, and as if they are whispering. Their thick leaves leaned together, like children who had not woken up from their dreams.
Although some flowers only have two or three petals, they look like a beautiful maiden; Although some of the flowers can no longer bear the loneliness and reveal their golden stamens, they attract a large group of butterflies and bees...... It's like showing off your beauty.
There are also some that are not open, with gorgeous coats, wrapping their "little heads"; Like a shy little girl, unwilling to spread her little face. The breeze blows, refreshing the heart......
And all these gestures are like using their most beautiful posture to greet the ultimate victor!
I saw that the open space in front of the former Debate Temple had already been properly arranged by Liroja. Although there were not as many people participating in the former Ring King Wusha Conference, the specifications this time were far better than in the past.
The kings, as well as Wang Xuance and others, were all brightly dressed and shining. But I saw that all the kings were sitting in a large circle, and in front of the gate of the temple was the main table of the three people, Liroja, Wang Xuance, and King Kumora. In front of each person is a three-foot-long wide coffee table, on which all kinds of delicacies have been allocated by the imperial chef, and the pavilions are placed in an orderly manner, which has an exotic style and atmosphere!
Behind this row of kings, there are many close ministers who sit peacefully, quite grand and majestic......
And in the center of the besieged city circle of the kings, with the end of the dance with Tianzhu style, but see this Chen Maocai, dressed as an elegant scholar, accompanied by the melodious sound of the guqin, with the orderly placement of the tea set, under the blazing charcoal fire; Grind tea, screen, and boil tea in one go. After these three boils and three boils, the fragrant tea with the flavor of the Tang Dynasty was enshrined in front of the kings of the countries.
Many kings were intrigued because they had never seen this elegant tea drinking utensil and fragrant tea.
But seeing Wang Xuance at this time, he said to the kings with a smile: "This style of drinking tea is quite popular in my Tang Dynasty, and as for when it originated, there is no place to test. This time I originally brought a lot of exquisite tea sets from my Tang court, and I wanted to give them to the kings, but I never wanted to be robbed by this Alonashun, and now there is not much left. But this will not affect the relationship between us, with the deepening of the connection between Datang and the five Indias, this trade channel has also been opened, and such things will also be introduced from my Datang to the five Indias. From Mulberry and many countries into the mud Borneo, and then across the snow-capped mountains, it will be in the territory of Tubo, beyond Tubo, and there is still half a month away to my Tang Dynasty. The goods of my Datang will naturally flow through this trade route to our five Indian lands. I also hope that the treasures of the land of India will flow into our Datang through this trade route, so that this trade route will become a symbol of peace and friendship between Datang and other countries. I, the Tang Dynasty, are open to welcoming the kings to send envoys. ”
Hearing this, the kings of the nations were also very happy. Since then, the trade route between Datang and Five India has gradually opened! Cultural exchanges between the two countries are also flourishing, and this trade route full of traces of the two countries, along the footsteps of elephants and camels, conveys peace between the two countries!
And the trade route that Wang Xuance said is much closer to Chang'an than through the Hexi Corridor. And this trade route is the trade route that gradually formed after Princess Wencheng and her relatives, which is the famous southern route of the Silk Road, Tang Fan Road!
At this time, with Wang Xuance's beckoning, I saw several Tang envoys, with a lot of books and picture scrolls that had been neatly transcribed, and distributed them to the kings.
And one of them is the Sanskrit translation of the Tao Te Ching, and the other is naturally the Mahayana Theory of Belief, and this portrait is the portrait of Lao Tzu.
It turned out that since the conquest of this Qunu City, Xiao Liu had already found these books they had given to the countries in this treasury, and they didn't bring much originally, but with the arrival of all the kings of the countries, they had no choice but to invite Liluoja to find a lot of scholars who were proficient in Sanskrit and Chinese, and they copied and depicted a lot as soon as possible! That's why every king gets an equal share today!
But seeing this, Wang Xuance then said to the kings: "This Sanskrit translation of the Tao Te Ching was translated by my Tang Dynasty monk Master Xuanzang at the invitation of King Kumora. This book has been circulating in my Tang Dynasty for a whole thousand years. It is not only the moral code of my Datang people to behave and do things, but also enlightens the people of Datang to be good and strive to move forward. And my Majesty the Emperor, not only by virtue of this moral economy to govern the country, but also by virtue of Confucianism, benevolent government, love the people, so that my Tang Dynasty is now rich and powerful, and all the countries in the Western Regions are surrendered! My Majesty the Emperor often said that since ancient times, China has been noble, and I have loved it as one, so its species are all dependent on me like parents! Therefore, the prestige of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not only obtained by virtue of military might, but also because of benevolence and righteousness, because of credit! ”
Hearing such a righteous and stern generous statement, the kings of the countries also have more longing and yearning for the Tang Dynasty! Immediately donated a lot of treasures to the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Xuance and others were also overjoyed!
Among them, this national gift from King Kumora is quite unique. Because of his interior close minister Sharma once visited the Tang Dynasty, at that time at this court, he also witnessed Li Shimin's love for the mud Bora tribute of Hun Ti onions, pineflies, and sorrel. Therefore, in the face of the choice of national gifts for the Tang Dynasty, he suggested that the king of Kumora follow the example of the Nibra country to give seeds.
As a result, a crop that was not available in Datang was introduced to the land of China from five Indias. And this is the vegetable we often use today, the loofah! However, at the beginning, the loofah was only used as a flower to be appreciated, and as a vegetable, it was a later matter~
When Wang Xuance and others saw this bag of heavy seeds, they were also overjoyed, and they practiced to thank King Kumoro for their ingenuity......
The editor said: The loofah has been introduced to the Tang Dynasty since then, so when you see a loofah on TV before the Tang Dynasty, you can say: Dear, you are not rigorous again~
