Chapter 187: A Lesson Learned
Economic strength, military strength and other comprehensive strength determine political status, you are a backward island country, even smaller than a state of Datang, why should you be on an equal footing with Datang!
Bite off more than one can chew! I don't know what to say!
Inougami Mita looked at the back of Changsun Chong and the others going out with a gloomy face, his hands clenched tightly, he didn't expect to touch the nail like this, and he met a stunned young man who didn't play cards according to common sense, and he only gritted his teeth and stared.
It seems that Ono Meizi passed on to the Central Plains Dynasty in Japan during the Sui Dynasty is a bit different, and it seems that they are not like before, everything is courteous and good-looking.
"My lord, what now?" The pharmacist Hui Ri next to him also had a gloomy face, if he couldn't have a good relationship with Datang this time, he wouldn't be able to learn the advanced things of Datang, and after he went back, they would only be able to atone for their sins by seppuku.
Inugami Mita took a deep breath, his facial muscles twitched, he had already thought that this formation would be difficult, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult that it would be unfavorable.
Along the way, they enjoyed the friendship of Datang officials and people, and they were very confident in this Chang'an party, and they were more determined to be equal to Datang. Although they are better than Datang in terms of strength, but across the endless sea, Datang can't reach their country at all, and they don't need to worry about Datang's retaliation.
"Their credentials have been taken away by them, and it seems that we can continue to stay here and wait and see what happens." Inugami Mita can only make this decision, how many people came just now, who is it?
After an hour, Inugami Mita finally couldn't help but say, "Let's go to the next door and ask, who came just now?" ”
Yakushi Huiri nodded and said, "Yes, my lord! ”
But when they were about to go out, they were stopped by the people left by Changsun Chong at the gate and said, "There is no order from General Changsun." No one can go out! ”
"Yaga!" When Pharmacist Huiri came to Datang, it was the first time that he was reprimanded in a commanding tone.
The guard who was standing in front of the pharmacist Huiri to answer the sentence stretched out his hand and slapped the pharmacist Huiri in the face and said, "Don't think I don't know what you just said about Baga, Lao Tzu knows that it is a curse!" ”
"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Yakushi Huiri covered his face and asked in disbelief, don't these people know their language?
The guards were in a rare good mood, looked at them with disdain and said, "I don't understand! But General Changsun said that as long as you say the word 'Baga', I will slap you twice! You're the bastard, your whole family is a bastard. ”
Haha, the envoys of other post houses not far away saw that Yakushi Huiri was beaten. thought it was funny, so they laughed out loud, and scolded in their hearts: "You blind people, you have come to Datang, and you are so arrogant." If you don't hit you, who will you fight! Bite off more than one can chew. ”
Medicine Master Huiri's face was red, and he said angrily: "Who is the eldest grandson general you are talking about?" ”
"You don't deserve to know! Hurry back. Don't leave here without permission! The guard said strongly. The face is expressionless.
Yakushi Huiri had a gloomy face, so he had to turn around and go back to the house, his hands clenched into a ball, and his muscles were bruised.
"Yaoshi-kun, you're back so soon, what do you know?" Inugami Mita asked hurriedly. Only by knowing each other and knowing oneself can we find a way to preserve the dignity of the Yamato nation.
"I'm sorry, sir! We are surrounded and watched, and we can't get out! "Yakushi Huiri gave the dog Mita a ninety-degree bow. Very respectful.
Inugami Mita was shocked, and said with a pale face: "This time we are afraid that we will be more auspicious." ”
"The tallest person just now, standing next to Lord Xiao is a general of the Tang Dynasty, surnamed Changsun!" Yakushi Huiri replied, "Nothing else knows! ”
Inugami Mita couldn't understand why this was the case this time, they were completely in accordance with the practice of the former Sui, and the journey was smooth, but something went wrong in Chang'an City.
Inugami Mita can feel the hostility emanating from the young Changsun General very strongly, but this is the first time he has come to Datang, and it is also the first time he has met with General Changsun, why is this Changsun Chong so hostile.
This point made Inugami Mita puzzled and did not dare to act rashly. Even if Inugami Mita wants to break his head, he will not understand that the soul of Changsun Chong, who does not play cards according to common sense, comes from the 21st century, a patriotic young man born in New China and grew up under the red flag, and an angry young man who naturally regards little Japan as a mortal enemy.
Let's say that the eldest grandson Chong took everyone out of the post house, and they all entered the palace together, anyway, since the brothers are also involved, then carry it together, at most it is a trivial matter on the buttocks. Besides, there are a lot of ointments that invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, and it is good to apply it for two days.
Li Er was dealing with the twists and turns in the Taiji Palace, and saw Zhou He come in lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson outside, the eldest son of the Cheng family, Lord Xiao, and General Xiao Li ask to see you!" ”
Li Er was very surprised, these people didn't go to eat, drink and have fun when they met a piece, why did they come to the palace? These juniors generally don't ask to see them in groups, unless something unusual happens, or they get into trouble, and whisper, "Let them in!" ”
"Chong'er, how come you guys have time to come over together?" Li Er asked.
The eldest grandson Chong presented the letter of state and said: "It is really that a few envoys from the Wa Kingdom are too much, and they come to the Tang Dynasty and do not speak Chinese, but only speak their own language, which makes Brother Xiao very embarrassed and can't understand what they say." ”
"I don't know the Japanese language, it's indeed Honglu Temple, the host and guest are not, and I neglected the envoys of the vassal kingdom who came from afar!" Li Er was very tolerant of the envoys of the vassal kingdom who came to Chang'an, and their arrival made him feel the mind and prestige of the Heavenly Khan from the side.
Changsun Chong felt that Li Er's thinking was very undesirable, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a bad word! We don't understand the Japanese language, and there is indeed something wrong with the Honglu Temple and the main and guest divisions, but if you look at the vassal kingdoms that come to our Chang'an to pay tribute, which ones can't speak Chinese, why are they exceptional, these Japanese people obviously know Chinese, but they don't speak Chinese; If it was the first time to come to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, they all presented the national credentials to Honglu Temple, and then forwarded them to Your Majesty, but they asked to present them to Your Majesty in person. The boy heard that the Japanese state sent someone over in the former Sui period, and once wrote in the national letter, "Where the sun rises, the Son of Heaven causes the Son of Heaven to set, the Son of Heaven is safe", and "The Emperor of the East respects the Emperor of the West", on the surface, they not only want to be on an equal footing with His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, but even have the meaning of pressing our Tang Dynasty. ”
"There is only one Son of Heaven, and naturally there is only one emperor, so why does the king of the Wa Kingdom dare to call himself the emperor and the Son of Heaven!" Cheng Chumo's loud voice sounded in the hall, and he held his breath in his heart.
Li Er really didn't know that there was such an allusion, and frowned and said, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
"Your Majesty, please read the credentials!" The eldest grandson Chong said in a deep voice.
Li Er opened the national letter at this time, and really saw the Eastern Emperor honoring the Western Emperor, and he was very angry, but the emperor's unfathomable mind did not reveal anything.
"Do you know why they're here this time?" Li Er asked.
"Naturally, I witnessed the rapid development of the Central Plains culture, wanted to learn, and then brought it back to develop the Japanese homeland." The eldest grandson rushed to say, "This Japanese country not only wants to learn our culture, but also wants to be politically equal to the Tang Dynasty." ”
"I want to be a bitch and I want to build a torii!" Cheng Chu scolded silently, "Why are they so confident? ”
"Of course, because they are across the sea from our Datang, there is no way to take them!" Li Yexu said with emotion that if there were enough ships and sailors, he would definitely be able to defeat the Japanese state. is worthy of being the grandson of a generation of military gods, from diplomatic disputes, he has begun to associate the scene of iron hooves stepping all over the country.
"Chong'er, what do you think we should do with the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom?" Li Er's face was expressionless, and he asked in a deep voice, Changsun Chong, who knew Li Er, knew that at this moment, the Wa Kingdom had been on the blacklist of Changsun Chong.
"No matter which country it is, if you come to our Datang, you will become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, pay tribute, and be responsible for not receiving it; Secondly, if they want to learn something about our culture, then teach them more subsets of scriptures and histories or Buddhist scriptures and the like, and as for Gewuzhi and handicrafts, they will never divulge anything to them; Third, for the Japanese people who come to Datang, they must be closely monitored, and once they are found to be misplotted, they will be cut down immediately! Changsun Chong thought of these three for the time being.
Li Er was surprised, he just thought that it would be over if he wanted to send these unwilling Japanese people back to China, but he didn't expect Chong'er to have such a harsh measure.
"Chong'er, you seem to be very hostile to the Wa Kingdom?" Li Er asked with a smile.
"Yes, Chong'er thinks that once the power of this Japanese state increases, it will provoke our Tang Central Plains Dynasty like the Turks, Tubo, and Nanzhao, so we must be vigilant and develop a naval army; Second, from the size of the Wa State and one of our states, with the increase in population and the improvement of economic strength, the desire for land and abundant materials will become more and more eager, and they will be next to us, staring at us as if staring at a piece of fat, so this Wa country is also a must-conquer place for our Tang Dynasty in our lifetime. Changsun Chong said seriously, but from the few people around him, he felt that they didn't believe it.
"It's not that serious, is it?" Cheng Chu touched his head silently, not understanding why Changsun Chong cared so much about a small Japanese country.
"That's right, eldest grandson!" Li Yexu couldn't figure it out.
It doesn't matter if others don't believe it, because they are not decision-makers, but Li Er can't, Changsun Chong hurriedly explained: "You don't know the Japanese nation, they are located in the vast sea, closed and selfish, and they often have earthquakes, resources are scarce, they are envious and jealous of the vast land of the Tang Dynasty!" We don't know much about the Wa Kingdom, and the economy and governance of the Wa Kingdom are all imitating the Central Plains Dynasty, and they came here this time to learn from us. Unlike the Turks and other steppe peoples, who do not like to learn, these Japanese people are very intelligent and have a strong desire to learn. If they don't stop them, maybe they can copy the entire Chang'an City in the Wa Kingdom. (To be continued......)
