Thirty-third: Words and Exchanges Forever Tie the Knot, Comfortable and Comfortable to Talk About Relics (I)
Looking at the prosperity and wealth of this road, accompanied by this lively scene, and the shouts one after another, everyone arrived at the main gate of the Privy Palace of the Female City. With the sound of the guards, I saw that this Liluoja led Vidina and others, surrounded by the canopy and the attendants, to personally come to the gate of this palace to greet them.
Wang Xuance also hurriedly straightened his clothes, led Zhou Chen and the others, and walked up quickly. He bowed and gave a salute: "Wang Xuance, the envoy of the Tang Kingdom, meet the king, meet the queen"
"Hahaha, brother doesn't have to be polite" As he spoke, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Wang Xuance, and then returned a salute and said: "Brother, this is not far away, and it is really hard to send me to five India for the third time" But seeing this, Liluoja greeted him with a smile.
"Eat the king's fortune, share the worries for the king, this is not only for my Tang Dynasty, but also for the friendly exchanges between the two countries to continue to write a new chapter" Wang Xuance replied politely.
So, with the warm greetings of everyone, they were introduced into the privy palace of this Holisha country by this Liraja.
There must be a mother and a son, although the palace of the king of Holisha at that time was quite ornate and extravagant since it was usurped by Alonashun and became the owner. But since this Liroja sat firmly on the throne of this Holisha country, he has shown a simple style. At this time, the Privy Palace, not only restored the style of its mother king, but also carried forward this simple style, only to see that there is less gold embellishment between the pavilions, more flowers and plants; The interior of the palace is less composed of pearl and agate, and more books made of bay leaves; The use of utensils is less jewelless inlay and more original texture and beauty.
Looking at all this, I only heard Wang Xuance praise: "In the past ten years, I didn't expect that there have been so many changes in this palace, and it looks a lot more comfortable." ”
"Haha, indeed, it used to be too magnificent, and this king looked very unsightly. No, all the decorations that came after this were done by Concubine Ai herself. Liluoja couldn't help but tell Wang Xuance about this Vidina credit.
"No wonder, but looking at the flowers and plants in this eye, this does not look like the style of the king; It seems that the queen's aesthetics are indeed much higher than our men. While everyone was walking, Wang Xuance praised Vidina along with his words.
"Wang Changshi has won the award, and the jewels of this palace building are just an embellishment, although it gives people an atmospheric and luxurious feeling; But we are not the characters of this Aronashun, Almita and the like in our bones......" Vidina also said modestly. Speaking of this, but as soon as she heard this Vidina's words, she continued to ask: "I don't know if this Alonashun family finally arrived in your Tang Dynasty, what is the ending?" ”
"In the second year after I returned to China, our Emperor Taizong had already passed away, and now he is succeeded by his third son. Although this Alona Shun committed a heinous crime, the first emperor felt that he was also a king of a country, so he pardoned him, abolished him as a concubine, and died in a small house in Chang'an City. Later, my current majesty erected his statue in front of the Zhaoling Tomb of the former emperor. In front of this Zhaoling, there are a total of fourteen monarchs, all of whom were conquered by our Tang Dynasty in those years. Four years earlier, Aronashun had died of a serious illness, and Almita had gone with him. After he left, we found him a cemetery and buried him simply. Wang Xuance followed their words and told them the truth......
"This man of the most heinous sins, so it seems that he is cheaper," Liroja replied casually.
"Hey, King, this is the genius of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, if he slashes this Alonashun, he will not feel the pain of the rest of his life in the next few years, so that he, who has always been pampered, can experience the hardships of life, which can be regarded as a kind of spiritual destruction for him." Vidina made a different rebuttal.
Wang Xuance and the others who said this sentence were stunned, how could they feel that this sentence was weird, but when they saw Liluoja laughing, they endured this embarrassment and accompanied a smiling face......
As the conversation progressed, the group entered the main hall of the Privy Council. Liroja then sat upright on the throne, and Vidina sat beside him in a dignified manner. According to the proper etiquette, Wang Xuance then officially presented the letter of state of the Tang Dynasty signed by Li Zhi, and Liluoja also respectfully accepted the letter in accordance with this due etiquette.
After the guest and host sat down, they only heard this Liluoja ask: "I heard Brother Wang mention in his letter that Wang Changshi sent us to the five India this time, on the one hand, to pay homage to the Buddha, and on the other hand, to strengthen the Tang Fan Dao that has been opened?" ”
"Nothing escapes the eyes of the king, and it is. Since Master Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has flourished in my Tang Dynasty; My Majesty the Emperor and Empress Niang are also devout Buddhists, so this time we have sent a third envoy to India. In addition, now that the four seas are leveled, many specialties and treasures of India are often filled with the streets of Chang'an with the prosperity of Tang Fandao, so His Majesty also has the idea of strengthening such friendships. So he sent such small officials as me to your kingdom. Wang Xuance replied casually.
"Changshi is too modest. Indeed, since your second mission to my five Indias, with the opening of this Tang Fan Road, the friendship between the two countries has been enhanced, and look at the gorgeous silk clothes on me and the princess, all of which were introduced to my five India through this trade route. And this paper, when you were an envoy in the first two times, I was five Indians, and the paper was a precious treasure, and now it has gradually become a civilian thing, all of which is the credit of your long history. Lipcabria glanced at Vidina and said to them with a smile.
"The king has won the award, this is what Xuan Ce should do" Wang Xuan Ce returned humbly.
"So, please rest assured, even if you don't send me five India, the kings of my five India will definitely not cut off this trade route, the reason is that all countries have gained benefits and got their due benefits, who will give him a hard time in front of money?" Vidina replied as they spoke.
"What the queen said is very true, this trade route not only promotes exchanges between countries, but also produces things that Xuan Ce did not expect. Wang Xuance followed her words and answered.
"Oh, I don't know what a joy you've encountered, tell me about it," Liroja and Vidina asked them in unison.
Editor: According to historical records, the opening of the Tang Fan Road provided great convenience for the material exchanges between the two countries later, and basically there are many monks and businessmen on this road every year......
