Chapter 209: A Change in Mentality
The envoys of various countries have left Chang'an one after another, Xu Ziling thought that he, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, should also be at the end, but who knew that the Japanese envoy was an anomaly, and he was still constantly visiting the cabinet library of the Tang Dynasty.
For this reason, those school scholars in the DPRK and China also praised the Japanese envoy one after another, and praised him vigorously, and what kind of country has such a commendable spirit of consciousness and what kind of dedication to learning is touching.
Anyway, Xu Ziling saw the intentions of this group of old guys, and after most of his life, it would be good to be able to boil out a school book, these people just wanted to take advantage of the actions of the Japanese envoys to praise the importance of their position in disguise, so that they would have more opportunities for promotion.
Finally, one day there was a court meeting, that is, when the Japanese envoys were about to leave the Tang Dynasty, Xu Ziling completely broke out with this group of school scholars.
It was said that the envoys of a country leaving the Tang Dynasty did not need to be so solemn, but the Japanese apricots made a request, and this request was also a point of conflict between Xu Ziling and this group of school scholars and even most of the court.
These days, the Japanese envoys have been working hard in the Ouchi Library, turning over boxes and cabinets, and turning over many ancient books, all of which are dilapidated, but they all have a common characteristic, which is that in the eyes of the court officials and even Li Shimin, they are all books that do not conform to Confucian orthodoxy.
But Xu Ziling regarded it as a treasure. What books? Books are very miscellaneous, what alchemy and other warlock books, what make ceramics and ironware such as handmade books, and some miscellaneous, but these are not orthodox, but they are inseparable from life.
Apricot said very humble, saying that he was willing to borrow these books of the Tang Dynasty to return to China to publicize and promote the spirit of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Ziling paid attention to the apricot, every word she said captured the psychology of those Confucian high-ranking officials in the court, every sentence made these people nod frequently, and when it came, there were even Fang Xuanling and others who wanted to give some ancient books of Confucius and Mencius to Apricots.
These are treasures in their eyes, but Kyoko doesn't care at all, but she still shows a flattered posture.
Some officials in the DPRK and China even ridiculed her in private, saying that she really didn't know what was good or bad in the country of projectiles, and all she was looking for was some unsightly books.
It was nothing, and Apricot's request was not excessive, and the people in the DPRK and China agreed to it, but when Li Shimin was about to give permission, he attracted strong opposition from Xu Ziling.
Those who boasted of being Confucian officials in the DPRK and China immediately quit, aren't you clearly going against others? So he was furious and rushed to the crown, and attacked him in groups, saying that he was a yellow-mouthed child, unlearned, unskilled, and nondescript, anyway, what word can describe Xu Ziling as the kind of hillbilly who has not read a book, and he will buckle Xu Ziling vigorously.
Xu Ziling also put forward his own point of view, saying that these books are important to the development of the Tang Dynasty, so he gave the example of the Zhila basalt statue and the example of the invention of black powder, but due to the problem of principle, these books really failed to connect with these two examples, and finally ended in failure, Li Shimin still lent these books to the Japanese envoys, and watched the Japanese envoys go away.
Looking at this group of not tall widows far away, Xu Ziling had an indescribable sense of complexity in his heart, today's court battle he found out how weak his power is, the entire court, its internal forces are complex, even Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Wei Chi and others have their own fixed faction, and he Xu Ziling is a person who is free from the system.
What really worries Xu Ziling is this group of Japanese robbers, in the near future, it is this group of small countries that are not tall and large, and the country does not have much expanse, holding imitation Tang knives in their hands and wantonly hunting and killing the Han people on the edge of the coast.
Since the time when Japan came to the Tang Dynasty, although Xu Ziling did not have anything unusual on the surface, he was hostile to this group of Japanese criminals in his heart, maybe they borrowed books from the Tang Dynasty, and they did not have any conspiracy ideas, maybe they were purely appreciative, but he, Xu Ziling, as a traverser, had to think so much!
Standing on the city wall of Chang'an, wearing a crimson round-necked official uniform, Xu Ziling stared at the back of the widow with dead eyes, and his heart was full of feelings.
On the surface, he is in the center of power, but in fact he is outside the core, maybe this official, he Xu Ziling should really consider whether to retire, history is left to Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and other big people to dress up, since Lao Tzu is lucky enough to come to this place, it is to enjoy!
After his mind opened, Xu Ziling's eyes gradually changed from the previous worry to clarity and excitement.
Whether a person's heart knot is opened or not, the first thing is reflected in his eyes, Xu Ziling squinted, and his heart had already begun to plan for his future blueprint, after resigning, continue to do business, stay away from Chang'an, and live a fairy life, anyway, the money Lao Tzu earns is enough for a lifetime!
Well, I have to find a time, find a reason, and let Su Mei resign first!
"Shaoqing, people are far away, I have already arranged a Japanese girl for Shaoqing in Honglu Temple!" Lai Xianren stood beside Xu Ziling, thinking that he understood the change in Xu Ziling's eyes, so he made this move, thinking that it was a wonderful move.
"Fart, I don't like pirates!" Xu Ziling lifted the crimson official robe at the hem, spat at the city gate, and turned to leave.
"Ouch, fuck, why are Chang'an people so unqualified?" A chubby man in white took out the handkerchief in his arms, wiped the fat face of the flesh fiercely, he looked up at the city, there were only groups of straight soldiers, but he didn't know who was so insulting, so he could only swallow this bird breath.
If Xu Ziling found this fat man in white, he would definitely exclaim, because this was the fat man Ma Zhou Ma in Cui's Mansion in Dingzhou that day, that is, the Ma Zhou who told him that he was going to come to Chang'an to pay homage to him at the time of parting.
But obviously Xu Ziling couldn't see it, he returned to Honglu Temple, and came to his own bed, the window in the room was bright and clean, but he had no time to estimate, sitting on the couch and thinking about it in a daze, he didn't even notice the arrival of Ashina Xingyue.
After half a salary, Xu Ziling finally woke up from his dementia, but found Ashina Xingyue, who wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong with you?" The face is very ugly, it can't be a cold, right? ”
"No...... No, there is no ......," Ashina Xingyue said with her head bowed.
Seeing Ashina Xingyue bowing her head, Xu Ziling couldn't help but look at her chest, don't worry, don't worry, this look, somewhere immediately salute!
