How does the lord of the Japanese call himself?

This is a simple question for Inougami Ota Shovel, who is already a Japanese man, but at this time, he can't say it for a while.

He was an envoy to the Sui Dynasty, and he knew that the first Sui envoy sent by Prince Shotoku Su Yingao (Ono Girl) to submit the letter of state caused the Great Sui Emperor to be unhappy and unlucky.

It can only be said that three years after the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, there was a Turkic trap in the north, a frustration in Goguryeo, and a great river that requisitioned and requisitioned the people to repair the palace, which caused the people to be resentful, and they couldn't take care of many things in the Japanese state, otherwise it would be difficult to let go of it like this.

But this is not the case with the Chinese emperor who is now in front of the dog Mita shovel.

Not to mention anything else, Najieli Khan he just met yesterday, which can be called the best illustration of the martial arts of this Chinese son of heaven.

In the past, the co-owner of the grassland whip has now become a high-ranking guest of His Royal Highness, and he has no spirit.

And Inugami Ota shovel is also clearer, and now there are even great opinions on the name of Wakoku in the country.

After all, there is still a Chinese culture in China, and everyone knows the righteousness of the Japanese slaves.

But he naturally couldn't say these words, so he could only rejoice in his heart that he had persuaded His Majesty to change the title on the national letter, and at the same time chose a more flattering statement:

"The lord of our country does not dare to forget the teachings of the Son of Heaven in China."

Li Shimin was noncommittal to the slippery head of the same sound as the Japanese country and our country.

At the same time, he looked at the national letter in his hand and looked up, "The king of the sunrise sent a letter to the Chinese Son of Heaven is safe", and pouted slightly:

It is exactly the same as Pei Shiqing's judgment.

Especially the self-proclaimed king of this king was really almost fooled.

According to Pei Shiqing, this "king" is not the "king" of the Central Plains, but the meaning of "the king of the world" in the land of the Japanese kingdom.

And looking at the words "sunrise" still stubbornly written on the silk book, Li Shimin also faintly guessed, this may be the source of the name of the future generations of the Japanese Kingdom.

Putting the book aside, Li Shimin casually changed the question:

"What is the messenger here?"

The dog didn't dare to raise his head, and he answered the question of this process fluently, and the pharmacist Huiri asked him to recite it many times, so he opened his mouth to come:

"The small people of the widow country are Muxia Yan, and this trip is dedicated to the local area, hoping for the good neighbors of the Central Plains Son of Heaven."

As Ota Shovel's words were translated by Pei Shiqing next to him, the rest of the mission also worked together to carefully lay out the souvenirs he had brought with him.

Rudimentary swords, strange-looking pottery, fabrics that can be seen to be of poor craftsmanship, and some gold and jade objects were also presented.

Of all kinds of things, only the gold sand was pinched up by Li Shimin with great interest and looked at it carefully.

Pei Shiqing next to him has been "educated" by Li Shimin, although he still has doubts in his heart, but for the time being, he still plans to take what His Majesty said, and only stay for two months to see the magical light curtain with his own eyes.

At this time, seeing that the emperor's attention was attracted by the golden sand, and then thinking of the wealth of the Japanese kingdom that the later generations said, he immediately stood up intimately and explained:

"The smelting method of this gold sand is poor, but its quality is especially better than that of Xinzhou."

In recent days, Pei Shiqing has also worked tirelessly to visit many masters to prepare for today.

For example, gold is divided into four types: bran gold, placer gold, raw gold, and rock gold, which are extremely difficult to smelt and often mixed with other miscellaneous minerals, only in the deep mountains of Jiannan Road, there are pieces of gold.

However, Jiannan Province has many deep mountains and dense forests, and mining is extremely difficult.

At this time, seeing the gold sand offered by the Japanese envoy, Pei Shiqing regretted a little that he did not record as much as possible when he went to the Japanese State before.

Li Shimin was very satisfied, nodded and instructed the attendant on the side:

"Since it is a tribute to the king of the Wa, then accept it."

Then he said amiably to Hui Ri:

"Since the messenger has come from afar, he may as well wait until the seventh month to return east."

"The good neighbors of the vassal should be eternal, and all such things have their own Honglu Cheng to negotiate with you."

After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled that you could retreat.

Until the magnificent Tai Chi Palace, the dog Yutian spade was still a little dazed:

Isn't that right?

It stands to reason that after offering the gift, shouldn't the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains return a rich gift to show the wealth of the kingdom?

Why did this Tang Tianzi let them retreat without paying attention?

At this time, Inugami Mitian felt a heartfelt distress: in order to get this opportunity to envoy to the Tang Dynasty, he offered two hundred taels of gold sand to the emperor!

This is a great wealth in the Wa Kingdom at this time, but at this time it has not received half a penny?

Hui Ri on the side didn't care at all, after all, even if the Tang Tianzi gave it back, it had nothing to do with him, as a monk from the Silla Tantric Sect, his purpose was very clear from beginning to end:

With the help of China, the two countries opened diplomatic relations, so as to expand the influence of Buddhism in the Wa Kingdom and preach in order to achieve transcendence in the afterlife.

In a sense, it is true that money is treated like dung.

Therefore, Hui Ri's attention at this time is the time of July that Tang Tianzi said.

Half a year later...... What's the matter?

At this time, Li Shimin and Pei Shiqing turned into the apse together, strolling along the corridor while chatting about what they had just seen.

Pei Shiqing thought that His Majesty would angrily reprimand the wolf son of the Japanese country for not changing his ambition, but he didn't expect to hear a sigh first:

"No wonder the younger generations ridiculed the tributary of small countries as a lucrative business, and even businessmen illegally pretended to be messengers."

The things offered by the Wa Kingdom were thrown into the east and west markets of Chang'an, and in addition to the gold, silver and jade, the rest were probably thrown away by the merchants.

Gold sand and jade, Li Shimin roughly estimated that it was worth more than 300,000 yuan, and if the Tang Dynasty also gave back money, it would naturally far exceed this number to show China's material resources.

But is this kind of behavior really good for the diplomatic relations between the two countries? The emperor of the Tang Dynasty angrily denounced that this move would only fatten the silverfish of the nobles of the state, and would not let the small people of the other country know the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

And the sages once said that it is better to go home and weave a net than to envy the fish by the river.

What is the king of the country is the king, it is the Xia Yan, not the gold of the Central Plains.

Therefore, the warm-hearted Li Shimin was determined to solve the problem fundamentally.

"The affairs of the Wa Kingdom need to be personally supervised by Shiqing according to the prior consultation." Li Shimin explained.

In this regard, Pei Shiqing is obligated to hold his head high:

"I will live up to Your Majesty's trust!"

So the day after the Japanese envoys returned to the post office, Du Ruhui and Pei Shiqing jointly knocked on the door of the courtyard where the Japanese envoys lived.

After meeting, the two also made clear each other's intentions.

"Duke Du wants to discuss with me about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom?"

Monk Huiri only felt flattered, but then he repeatedly excused himself:

"I am in Shamen, and I do not belong to the Wa Kingdom, if I talk about this matter, I can be a translator between Du Gong and the envoy of the dog."

Du Ruhui smiled and said calmly:

"What I want to talk to the Master is about the promotion of Buddha in the country, and it has nothing to do with ordinary things."

Monk Huiri had lived in Chang'an for more than ten years and was fluent in Chinese, so he also heard the meaning of the big official in front of him.

After only hesitating for a moment, his heart was on fire, but looking at the Ota spade next to him who was curious and waiting for translation, he still had some hesitation in his heart:

"The Messenger of the Dog ......"

Hearing this, Pei Shiqing stood up and said:

"I am the former chief official of the Sui envoy to the Japanese state, and now Pei Shiqing, the Honglu Cheng of the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty, wants to talk with the noble envoy about the friendship between the Japanese and Tang Dynasty."

So Inugami Yutian Shovel's eyes suddenly widened, because he heard Pei Shiqing's words clearly, this official of the Tang Dynasty actually understood the Japanese language, and he had previously sent an envoy to the Japanese country!

Wait, the envoy of the former Sui to the Wa Kingdom, isn't that the biological father of the head of the Etian family......

Hui Ri saw that the official of the Honglu Temple understood the dialect of the Japanese land, and it was justified to negotiate with the envoy of the dog, so he almost couldn't wait to make a gesture of please:

"Du Gong, there is still a quiet room here, it is better to move here and talk about Buddhism."

Yutian shovel suppressed the temporary shock in his heart, and said a little suspiciously:

"Pharmacist Huiri, what is this?"

"Oh, Du Gongxi studied Buddhism, and now I heard that Venerable Hui Ri practiced Silla Buddhism, which is different from my Huaxia, so I came to ask for advice."

After all, when these monks were in the Wa Kingdom, they often said that the Chinese Son of Heaven gave three points to the Buddha, and the dignitaries and nobles were all familiar with Buddhism.

So at that moment, the two also found a quiet room to discuss the friendship between China and Japan.

It's just that it wasn't until dusk that Yutian Shovel sent Pei Shiqing away with a heavy heart, and when he came back, he saw Monk Huiri kneeling in the house.

"What is the depth of the Dharma that the Medicine Master and the Great Official discussed?"

Hearing this, Hui Ri showed a mysterious smile on his face, there was an imperceptible fire of ambition in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised:

"The Tang Dynasty is worthy of being a kingdom, and its officials are all familiar with Buddhism, and I am not as good as it."

"What about what the messenger said?"

Yutian Shovel remembered Pei Shiqing's various promises, among these promises, there were houses, land, Turkic slaves, and even the official position of the Tang Dynasty, how rich!

And these promises are made to him, not to the emperor!

So Ota Spade also made a decision in his heart, and showed a sincere smile:

"It's very good!"
