Chapter 424 Tang's Cultural Invasion

Jin Zhizhao is wearing a white dress, with long hair, decorated with pearls, walking in the palace of Silla.

What I saw along the way, no matter if it was a noble woman or a lowly court lady, they all dressed up differently from me, but they looked familiar.

Of course they look familiar, those are Tang people's clothes and accessories.

Jin Zhizhao has not been back to the palace for a long time, and he has not shown up as a princess. These wives obviously don't recognize her. They looked at her from a distance, and when they saw her wearing ancient Silla clothes, there was a superior arrogance in her eyes, as if she was Look at a bumpkin from a border village.

From the perspective of the law, this is not wrong, because as early as the [-]nd year of Zhenguan, Jin Chunqiu personally entered the Tang Dynasty to beg for aid, and introduced Tang Dynasty official uniforms as Silla official uniforms. Later, women were also ordered to wear Tang costumes. ".

Later, when Li Zhi ascended the throne, in order to let the Tang Dynasty send troops, Silla's own reign titles were stopped, and began to enshrine the Tang Dynasty Zhengshuo and Xingyonghui reign titles until today.

Therefore, when Li Hong ascended the throne in the Tang Dynasty, he changed his reign name to Sisheng, and the reign name of Silla had to be changed to Sisheng, and it was even called "the country of Silla in Tang Dynasty" to the outside world.

In these respects, Silla has done very well, just like a filial son.

But maybe it was because of the filial piety, which was not quite right in the Tang Dynasty, and Silla's filial piety also became wrong, and it kept encroaching on the old land of Baekje.

On his way back, Jin Zhizhao passed the Governor's Mansion in Xiongjin, and found that most of the Baekje survivors there were still hostile to the Tang Dynasty. Under the instigation of Silla, there were many rebellions.

From Silla's point of view, she is very happy.

Silla is becoming stronger and stronger, from being the weakest of the Three Kingdoms to being the only one now, and it even has the possibility of unifying the Three Kingdoms.

Jin Zhizhao's national self-confidence returned, and he gave up the strong clothes that were convenient for martial arts and returned to Silla clothes.

Then I found that imitating the Tang Dynasty became common practice in the palace, and I was despised because I didn't want to give up the tradition.

An indescribable feeling surged in her heart, and when she looked at the display of the houses in the palace, the joy dissipated, and the worry completely prevailed: "Silla, a small country, can it really resist the Great Tang?"

It's no wonder that Jin Zhizhao's self-confidence disappeared so quickly. Today's Silla is not in the era of unification. In recent years, there have been frequent battles, and the construction of the palace is quite simple.

And although she has never been to the Daming Palace in Chang'an, she tried to go in and have a look at it when Luoyang Wangcheng was vacant.

That was Yang Guang's handwriting. Everything left by this crazy construction monster is magnificent and magnificent. Comparing the palace of Silla with the palace built by Yang Guang, isn't this bullying? Not as good.

After sighing, Jin Zhizhao forcibly restrained his thoughts, walked into the hall, and saw his father, Jin Famin, the current King of Civil and Military Affairs of Silla.

Jin Famin just turned [-] years old this year. He is tall, with a square face and big eyes. In addition, he wears a golden crown and fine clothes, which makes him very majestic.

And even when he met his daughter in private, he sat upright and meticulous, and his tone was quite gentle: "Young girl, sit down!"

Hearing this familiar title, Jin Zhizhao's eyes were slightly red, and he bowed down crying: "Father!"

Jin Famin stretched out his hand, and gave him a little help: "It's good to be back, I feel wronged that you have been in Datang for so long, and you have suffered a lot..."

Jin Zhizhao shook his head: "As long as it's for the father, for my Silla, what is the suffering? It's just that the daughter is incompetent and was taken by the inner guard, and it also affected the two protons, Jin Hanlin and Jin Sanguang..."

Jin Famin waved his hand: "Don't mention those trivial things. After your master rescued you, will there be any reply?"

Jin Zhizhao is still not sure whether "Zuo Ming" is dead or not, but she also knows that the power of "Zuo Ming" will greatly help her status, otherwise she will definitely not be treated so well when she fled back to China. Even if she was her own daughter, she hurriedly replied: "I will tell my father that Master has recently planned a major event in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It is normal for me to fail to reply in time."

Jin Famin nodded slightly: "He is the leader of the gentry in the Tang Dynasty, and he was wronged by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Since he can escape by feigning death, there must be a huge revenge brewing now. You can take all of Baekje."

Jin Zhizhao's mouth was bitter, and he licked his lips subconsciously.

Jin Famin paid great attention to details, and said with a smile, "Young girl, this king is going to give you a surprise, come and serve tea!"

The servant stepped forward and brought up a steaming tea carefully. Jin Famin smiled and said, "This is a tea made with the method of roasting tea in the Tang Dynasty. You can drink it and see if you can get used to it?"

Jin Zhizhao showed resistance: "Now I, Silla, also drink tea?"

During the time of Queen Seondeok, Silla had tea, but it was not popular. Historically, it was not until Tang Wenzong that tea drinking became popular in the Korean peninsula.

At this time, Jin Famin said: "Drinking tea has become popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it has also been brought into our country, especially among the nobles. There are many tea drinkers among the nobles. This king thinks the taste is good, and it is better than buttermilk."

Jin Zhizhao finally couldn't accept it anymore, and remonstrated: "Father, the inner guard should make Li Yuanfang continue to promote tea products to the plateau. Follow Tang Kingdom blindly in everything!"

Jin Famin said indifferently: "Li Yuanfang is already the leader of the Cabinet of Internal Guards, and was appointed as a courtier by Tang Gaozong. This person is in the same situation as the Queen Mother, busy fighting for power and profit. This tea is just his personal hobby. Don't think too much about it. That's it, as for other customs, choose the best ones to practice."

Jin Zhizhao thought of Jin Liangtu who had been reused, and said bitterly: "I know that my father, Wang Xiong, is a generalist, and he wants to use the learning of the Tang people to revitalize Silla, but as time goes by, the customs of the Tang Dynasty will replace our country, and everyone in the court will admire the Tang Dynasty. When Tang Jun really attacks, how many people will surrender because of this?"

Jin Famin frowned: "There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that we should give up eating because of choking. Don't keep the backward customs because you are afraid of the domestic impact. As for the Tang Dynasty sending troops..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and then forced himself to have a touch of confidence: "China has always regarded itself as a celestial dynasty and looked down on our neighboring countries, but the former Sui Dynasty fell due to Koryo, and the Great Tang Emperor Taizong suffered setbacks, and Gaozong was defeated by Tubo. , it can be seen that they are not invincible, we just have to learn from them so that we can catch up and become a big country comparable to them!"

Jin Zhizhao didn't think those customs were outdated. Although Tang's clothes were indeed gorgeous, Silla also had a simple beauty. Hearing the examples of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Tang Taizong's failure to conquer Korea, he immediately said: "Father , I was able to read the history books of the Central Plains by chance, and there are records about my land in Liaodong, can you say something?"

Jin Famin became interested: "Let's talk."

Jin Zhizhao pondered for a while, but still didn’t dare to speak out. Let’s start with the source of Silla: “At first, Silla was just an alliance of tribes. During the period of confrontation between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty, the name of the country was officially determined, and it was taken as "the new ones have new virtues, and the recruiters gather all directions", which is called "Silla"..."

In fact, there are many theories about the origin of Silla's name, not necessarily this explanation, but Li Yan thinks this explanation is good, and if Xue Chuyu is asked to follow this explanation, Jin Zhizhao thinks it is true.

Jin Famin chewed on his words at this time, and also said happily: "What a newcomer is to improve his morals day by day, and those who recruit all over the world. It turns out that I, Silla, came from this."

Jin Zhizhao lived in Bengbu. As a king, you don’t know the origin of your country. You sighed from the bottom of your heart: “There must be a lot of historical materials in Silla, but it’s not like the records of Chinese dynasties. It is in the stage of word of mouth, and it has not been unified yet, so the understanding of the war between the two countries is somewhat biased..."

"The Emperor Sui Yang was an absurd and foolish emperor. He used all the power of the whole country to conquer Goryeo, and there were many constraints, which made the three campaigns three defeats, and the country was destroyed."

"And Tang Taizong was a promising monarch. Although he did not achieve his wish to destroy the country in his attack on Goryeo, he conquered more with less, captured ten cities, plundered a large number of livestock and people, and wiped out Goryeo's soldiers. Waiting for the record is definitely not a defeat, we must not be fooled by him..."

"Looking at Silla again, I really can't compare with the first two. After all, it has always been Goryeo who resisted the Chinese army. We wiped out Baekje and Goryeo, and we relied more on the power of the Tang Dynasty..."

Jin Famin frowned upon hearing this: "Okay, don't beat around the bush, you can speak up if you have something to say!"

Jin Zhizhao pursed his lips, and said bluntly: "Father, Silla is far inferior to Tubo, and even Goryeo is incomparable. What's more, Datang has learned from the previous two generations. Will it repeat the same mistakes? Once If the Tang army marches there, the country will be in danger, and we must take all precautions, and we must not deceive ourselves and others!"

Jin Famin was obviously displeased when he heard the front, and then he was irritated by the last sentence: "You say that the king is deceiving himself? Presumptuous! Presumptuous!!"

Jin Zhizhao quickly knelt down: "Daughter is disrespectful, please forgive her sins."

Jin Famin flicked his sleeves, and his voice was stern: "You are a woman, how can you forgive me for your disrespect in front of the palace, go back to the palace and be punished!"

Unlike Tang Dynasty women who can manage the family, the status of Silla women is very low. Queen Seondeok and Queen Zhendeok can be queens, it has nothing to do with their own talents, but because they are the last blood of the sacred bone. When the first queen was in power, the power was basically controlled by the nobles and courtiers, and it was just a display on the bright side.

Jin Zhizhao learned a lot of skills with "Zuo Ming", and he was used to seeing women who show their talents in the Tang Dynasty. Hearing this, his heart ached again, so he could only worship.

Just about to leave, the servant stepped forward to report, Jin Famin immediately got up, waved his hands and said: "Master Yuanguang is here, you exit through the side door."

Jin Zhizhao could only retreat from the side door. Before going out, she squinted her eyes, and saw her father, who was stern to her, turn towards an elderly monk with a dignified treasure, but changed her expression of respect, and her heart suddenly became more serious. uncomfortable.

But she is also very clear about the status of Buddhism in Silla. It is not just a religion like Buddhism in the Central Plains Dynasty. Buddhism is the state religion here, and it has played a vital role in consolidating the social order of Silla and promoting the development of Silla culture.

The most prominent point is that the names of the kings of Silla are all Buddhist titles. For example, the two queens, Shande and Zhende, are called by Buddhism. These Silla kings claim to be the incarnation of Buddha to rule Silla. One can imagine.

Jin Zhizhao was thinking all the way, and seeing that he was about to return to his luxurious five-bedroom bedroom, a group of wives approached and talked in a low voice:

"Have you heard that the monks from the Great Tang Dynasty have come to my royal city to give lectures!"

"Of course I know, that's the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, the eminent monks of Shaolin, my father and brother all went to bathe in the Buddha's light..."

As soon as Jin Zhizhao's expression changed, he was about to refute the rumors: "Don't be fooled by the Shaolin Temple, that temple is not valued at all in the Tang Dynasty!"

Shaolin monks are okay with deceiving people from Silla, but she doesn't know that the so-called ancestral court of Zen, including the presiding three cardinals, were all killed by her younger brother.

When the imperial edict bestowed by Emperor Taizong was withdrawn, although she didn't know that Shaolin Temple planned to lend money, she could also see that this Buddhist temple was in the Tang Dynasty, and it was almost impossible to survive.

The stuff that the Tang Dynasty doesn’t want, come to Silla to show off its might?
However, before the two sides formally met, they saw the eyes of the wives pierced their bodies, their bodies swayed, and they avoided them in advance, then looked sideways frequently, and whispered to each other.

"Wow!"

Jin Zhizhao's body trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes.

In Datang, she was despised by Tang people because of her identity as a Xinluo person, which was fine, but when she returned to her own country, she was once again despised by her peers because she did not learn from Datang.

Can't stand it.

Completely broken defense.
