---- Pei Shiqing

The route of Bae Seqing's envoy to the Wa Kingdom was to first reach Baekje, go to Takeshima, and to the south you can see the country of Tamna. After passing through the kingdom of Tsushima (Tsushima Island) in the sea, it reached the province of Iki (Iki Island) and the country of Zhusi (Tsukushi Province) in the east, and then eastward to the kingdom of Qin (the customs were the same as those of China, and the compilers of the Book of Sui thought it might be Yizhou). After passing through more than ten vassal states of the Wa Kingdom, he came to Yamatai, the capital of the Wa Kingdom.

According to the records of professional officials of the Sui Dynasty: Lao Pei and his entourage traveled 6,000 miles by land, and then sailed 7,000 miles by sea, and finally arrived at the Wa Kingdom.

In 608 AD, on August 3, the fourth year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty delegation entered Nara Castle under the grand welcome of the Japanese imperial family. "The Book of Sui: The Biography of Dongyi" recorded the grand occasion of that year: the king of the Japanese sent Xiaode River to the platform, and hundreds of people set up honor guards and beat drums and horns to greet them. Ten days later, he sent Tianli Gotobi to serve with more than 200 horsemen.

The prince of the stables personally led people to greet him, and if there was a Best Actor award at that time, the stables would naturally be the best. He said modestly: "I heard that the Great Sui is in the west of our country, and it is a state of etiquette and righteousness and civilization; I am just an island country, living in a corner of the sea, ignorant of etiquette, lonely and unheard, so that I have not seen each other for a long time. Today, distinguished guests have come from afar to sweep the roads and decorate the pavilion to wait for the ambassadors, hoping to hear the civilization and education from the great country. ”

Pei Shiqing replied in the tone of a great country: "The emperor is virtuous and Eryi, and he flows all over the world, so he sends pedestrians here to preach." ”

Although both sides said some high-sounding words, the enthusiasm of the stablemen was completely an attitude of "looking forward to the stars and the moon" and finally looking forward to the distant relatives. Therefore, the Wa side gave the Sui Dynasty mission a good feeling.

An important task of the Sui Dynasty mission was to hand over the letters of state to which the Great Sui Emperor personally replied.

So, where is the national credentials? Originally, the national letter was kept by Lao Pei or Ono. However, as soon as he left the border of the Great Sui, Ono said that he wanted to understand the will of the "Sage Khan" earlier, so he asked him to read and keep the national letter first.

Don't bother to keep the national letter, Lao Pei can't ask for it. As a result, the credentials were handed over to Ono for safekeeping.

After settling the Sui Dynasty mission, the stable found Ono and said, "Ono-kun, the journey has been hard, and the Great Sui Emperor answered where is our national letter?" What was written? ”

"Your Highness, your subordinates are incompetent and damned, when we passed through Baekje Country, we encountered a robbery by bandits, and in a panic, we lost the national letter."

"What? So many gold, silver, jewelry and other gifts have not been lost, but the national letter has been lost? ”

"Yes."

"So what is written in the national letter of the Great Sui?"

Ono kowtowed to the ground and was silent. For the Foreign Secretary, losing credentials was a capital offense in any country at the time.

The stable owner is a smart man, and when he sees this situation, he almost understands everything. When he put the king of the Wa kingdom on an equal footing with the Sui dynasty, he had already thought of several possible scenarios.

"Ha, ha, ha, good, good, good, good, Ono-kun does not avoid the wind and waves, is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and goes to the Great Sui, and his hard work is high, I will naturally show Her Majesty the Queen and ask for credit for you." The stable owner said no more, and walked away with a long smile.

Why doesn't Ono's sister have to lose her head, but the stable has to be promoted to Ono's official?

This is naturally related to the content of the national letter written by Yang Guang himself, which completely denied the status of the Wa State on an equal footing with the Sui Dynasty, and also criticized and intimidated the Wa State. Such a letter of state is handed over to the queen of the Japanese kingdom, even if the woman has a good cultivation and a good temper during menopause, then she will be very unhappy.

Moreover, since the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, China has always been the suzerainty of the Wa State, and has been canonized as the king of the Wa State many times. If this letter is made public, then in general, it will completely shake the queen's throne and cause the entire political situation of the Japanese kingdom to collapse.

Besides, although the stables are very powerful, they are not single-handedly covering the sky in the court. As a noble minister who is also in power, Su I Mazi is the number one political enemy in the open and secret struggle with the stable.

Originally, it was possible for the stable to continue the throne, but it failed because of Su I's horse to support the ancients.

The grandfather of the stable is Emperor Qinmei, and his father is Emperor Yongmei.

Chin Ming died, and the second son, Emperor Minda, was the empress of Emperor Minda, who became the empress.

Minda died, and it was passed on to the fourth brother to use the emperor tomorrow.

With the death of Ming, it is passed on to the twelfth brother Chongjun Emperor.

Emperor Soga wanted to take power himself, and he had a lot of enmity with the noble minister Soga Mako, so Soga Mako sent assassins to kill Emperor Chongjun and supported Emperor Minda's Empress Suigu to become the first empress.

Originally, Emperor Chongjun was hanging, and the stable had a chance to ascend the throne, but it was a pity that the powerful Su Ma Zi did not support him. It's just that when Tuigu became the female empress, the edict made the meritorious stable household the crown prince. And as Soga Mako, who dared to murder the emperor, it was not a big deal to find an excuse to kill a crown prince.

Therefore, in case the national book is seen by Su I Mazi, Su Ma Zi can completely ask the stables for this matter: Originally, we have been the little brother of China since ancient times, and we are our suzerain, everything is going well, you have to be on an equal footing with others, and now you are in trouble, right? Accountability, right?

Thanks to the smart Ono girl, Ono can be an ambassador, and it's not only about appearance, but also about intelligence.

The national letter is gone, and everyone is happy.

Judging from Pei Shiqing's later role as the driving department of the Tang Dynasty, Langzhong and Jiangzhou Assassin, Lao Pei had already been disappointed in the Sui Dynasty and saw through Yang Guang's trick of killing Pei by means of widows. Naturally, he would not jump out and say to the queen of the Japanese kingdom, "Our letter of state is for you, so that you are not allowed to be called the Son of Heaven."

So, Lao Pei didn't say it, and Ono didn't say it. Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, also rewarded so much, such a valuable gift, which means that the Great Sui has recognized that our Great Sui and the Great Sui are on an equal footing. The two countries are no longer suzerains, but brothers.

One of the credits for being able to be called Prince Shotoku after his death was that he had falsely got rid of the status of the Wa Kingdom as a vassal state of China.

On August 12, Pei Shiqing Jin met the king of Wa and offered gifts. At that time, Prince Shotoku, the kings, and the ministers all wore gold buns, brocade embroidered brocade and five-colored silk to attend the ceremony, which shows the importance of the Japanese side.

When Queen Tuigu hosted a banquet in the Japanese palace to entertain Pei Shiqing, the envoy of the Sui Dynasty, and others, "the banquet adopted Chinese table etiquette, and two pairs of chopsticks and spoons were used as formal tableware and placed on the plate, which is the earliest official record of the use of chopsticks in Japan."

The pots and pans used in the meal are all spread from China, and the use of two pairs of chopsticks is also very hygienic, one pair is responsible for putting the vegetables into their own bowls, and the other pair is feeding the dishes in their own bowls into their mouths. The banquet ended in a relaxed, warm and friendly atmosphere.

In 609 AD, the Wa Kingdom unceremoniously sent a hundred students and eight scholars to the Sui Dynasty.

At the same time, he also brought a letter of state to Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, again. According to the historical records of the Japanese, in this letter of the Wa Kingdom, the empress Tuigu no longer called herself the Son of Heaven, but called herself the emperor.

The king of the Wa Kingdom called himself the Son of Heaven and made Yang Guang angry, now it is okay, he is not called the Son of Heaven, he is called the "Emperor" who rules all things in the world, so will Yang Guang directly cut off the heads of the envoys of the Wa Kingdom? Then, after fighting Goguryeo, then send troops to the Wa Kingdom?
