Chapter 334: Princess Wencheng
"Princess Wencheng is a clan daughter of the Tang Dynasty, and she was named a princess in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan and married to Songtsen Gampo of Tubo."
In fact, in the eighth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to ask the princess to marry, but Tang Taizong refused at that time. At that time, the king of Tuyuhun also went to the Tang Dynasty to see him, and after the envoy of Tubo came back, he told Songtsen Gampo that the reason why the Tang Dynasty did not want the princess to marry was entirely because the king of Tuyuhun was obstructing him. ”
In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, he sent troops to defeat Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and Bailanqiang, and the army approached Songzhou, and he also threatened to lead the army to invade the Tang Dynasty if he did not send the princess and his relatives. As a result, the menacing army was defeated by Niu Jinda's vanguard troops. ”
"After the defeat, Songtsen Gampo was afraid, and quickly withdrew before the arrival of the main force of the Tang Dynasty, and sent the envoy to the Tang Dynasty to ask for guilt, and again proposed to marry the princess, and also sent an envoy to bring five thousand taels of gold and other jewels as a dowry, this time, the Tang Dynasty agreed, and sent Princess Wencheng and relatives."
"Princess Wencheng went to Tibet in the first month of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, when Songtsen Gampo led his ministers to greet the princess and his party in Baihai, and gave a son-in-law salute to Li Daozong, the messenger who sent the princess and relatives, and then returned to Luo with the princess, which is today's LS."
"Songtsen Gampo loves Princess Wencheng very much, and specially built the Potala Palace for him in LS."
When you talk about the Potala Palace, you will find out some videos about the Potala Palace and play them.
On the canopy, under the blue sky and white clouds, a white and magnificent palace stands on the top of the mountain, which makes people yearn for it at first sight.
The camera turned straight to the interior of the Potala Palace, where there were so many palace rooms, full of exotic decorations, and all kinds of colorful paintings.
"The main building of the Potala Palace is 13 floors, 117 meters high, with 1,000 palace rooms, magnificent and magnificent, and then destroyed by lightning and war, and after two expansions in the 17th century, it has reached today's scale."
"Princess Wencheng is erudite and talented, she brought a lot of books with her when she entered Tibet, and after arriving in Tibet, she devoted herself to spreading Han culture, so that the economy and culture of Tibet came out of the primitive, and made great progress, and also affected the way of life of Tibet, so that various systems in Tibet were formalized."
"Since Songtsen Gampo married Princess Wencheng, he also began to wear silk and sent his children to Chang'an to study. At that time, there was a custom of ochre noodles in Tibet, and the princess did not like it, so Songtsen Gampo ordered that ochre noodles should not be allowed, and he also asked the scribes who came with the princess to sort out the documents and materials of Tibet. ”
It can be said that Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet created a new era of friendship between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, and then more than 200 years of continuous exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, and business travel was endless. She also brought medical books, cooking methods, various techniques for construction, and turnip seeds. Because of this, Princess Wencheng is very loved by the people of Tibet. ”
"Until more than a thousand years later, the statue of Princess Wencheng was still worshipped by the Tibetan people, and her deeds were widely disseminated in the form of operas, murals, and folk songs."
"If the diplomats in front of them used force to deter and promote the domineering of the Central Plains Dynasty, then diplomats such as Xuanzang, Jianzhen, and Princess Wencheng spread the Central Plains culture in a silent way, playing a role in cultural integration."
At this point, I can't help but tell some stories of cultural invasion.
Soon, the monarchs and ministers of all dynasties listened to it.
They had only heard of military warfare and economic warfare before, and did not expect that there would also be cultural warfare.
There are many examples that have made many people's hearts burn.
This is the real soldier who surrenders without a fight.
Wu Wu said with a smile: "No matter which dynasty, there are some great Confucians, if they can, let them lead their disciples to visit various countries, promote Confucian culture, slowly assimilate the surrounding countries, and then spread Confucian culture farther and farther, maybe in later generations, the whole world will learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, and they will speak Chinese and write Chinese characters." ”
These words are so good that people's hearts yearn for them.
"If it is combined with economic warfare and trade war, the effect will be even better."
Wuwu added: "However, our advanced science and technology still need to be cherished and preserved by our own family, so don't publicize this." ”
Many emperors couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
After telling the story of Princess Wencheng, he rested for a while: "There is also a very powerful diplomat, he is Zheng He, about the story of Zheng He, we have told it before, and we will not talk about it now." ”
"Okay, that's all for this issue of the story of diplomats, and we'll see you next time."
After speaking, he left the live broadcast room with a smile.
She just exited, and saw Qin Shi Huang's message in the background.
"Fairy, can you send some information about the Western Regions?"
After reading it without worry, he smiled and packaged the maps of the countries in the Western Regions that he had downloaded a long time ago, as well as the information on people's livelihood and customs, to Qin Shi Huang and passed them on.
"Your Majesty wants to open up the Silk Road in advance?"
Qin Shi Huang quickly replied: "Yes, but after the Great Qin is stabilized, I will attack the Xiongnu in the north and collect Baiyue in the south, and after doing this, I will subdue some small countries in the Western Regions and open up the Silk Road." ”
"The fairy said before that cotton is suitable for growing in a sunny place, and I want to grow cotton in the Western Regions, and at the same time grow grapes to make wine."
Carefree smiled: "Your Majesty has thought it through. ”
Not only Qin Shi Huang asked for information about the countries of the Western Regions, but Liu Che and Li Shimin also wanted it.
They thought about the same as Qin Shi Huang, and they also wanted to grow cotton in the Western Regions.
The Han and Tang dynasties had strong military power, and it was not very difficult to subdue the Western Regions, and after the subduation, they sent people to govern and plant cotton, and in a few years, they could make the people of the Central Plains have cotton clothes to wear and quilts to cover in winter, even if it snowed heavily, they could save many people from freezing to death.
However, the Song Dynasty was different.
The military strength of the Song Dynasty was not good at all, even the Liao State could not be defeated, and the Western Xia was also established independently, and they did not even have a place to raise horses, let alone want to grow cotton in the Western Regions.
Seeing that the emperors of other dynasties in the emperor's chat group were happily discussing how to govern after subduing the Western Regions, how to use military coercion, economic inducement, cultural assimilation, and how to moisten things silently into their own territory, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were sour, and I am afraid that they will no longer need to eat vinegar for many years to come.
After watching it for a while, many emperors in the emperor's chat group were discussing how to wage a cultural war and how to assimilate their neighbors, and they watched it with relish.
After looking at it for a while, she reluctantly withdrew.
Before he exited, he heard the mechanical voice of the subsystem: "Host, a space-time with huge energy has been detected, and the host can open and enter and absorb energy." ”
Worry-free stunned, the energy of the hour space?
How much energy?
The energy of the hour and space is still large, what kind of time and space is this?
Isn't it similar to Journey to the West?
But the Journey to the West world has a huge amount of energy, but it can't absorb much, and there are so many demons and monsters......
"I'll think about it."
The system kept urging: "I hope the host will make a decision early and don't waste the opportunity." ”
The system is so urgent, the energy of that time and space must be particularly attractive.
I have to say that worry-free is also a little moved.
