Datang Library

Chapter 461

Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan was very scheming, Zhongnan Academy announced that foreigners were not allowed to step in, and visiting envoys and officials were not accepted, only academic exchange visitors were accepted. In this case, if you want to enter the academy to see the secrets, you have to use this banner Otherwise, other banners will be played out by others.

Tang Jian from Honglu Temple came out and mocked: "I went to Tubo ten years ago. There were constant wars and unrest there, and there was no enlightenment at all. I have never heard of Gaoshan Academy. This is not something you thought up on the spur of the moment. , fabricate an excuse, and want to use this to enter the academy."

Lu Dongzan looked at Tang Jian and was also dissatisfied, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also said before that times have changed and you haven't been to Tubo for ten years, so of course you don't know about the changes in our country.

When I came to Datang ten years ago, I had never heard of Zhongnan Academy. I only knew that the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty was a holy place of culture, so the words of Honglu Temple Secretary were biased.

I came to Tubo in good faith, only for academic exchange and common progress. "

This makes it clear, Datang side really seems to have nothing to say, they caught a loophole in the Academy's rhetoric, how to fight back now?

Li Er frowned and said: "Although Zhongnan Academy is the holy place of education in the Tang Dynasty, it is a private academy built by Lantian Hou alone. Although I am the king, I have no right to interfere with the affairs of the academy, so if you want to go to academic exchanges, you can go to Looking for Bai Fan, there is nothing I can do, it is impossible to issue a decree to forcibly order them."

After Li Er said this, he secretly apologized to Bai Fan in his heart. He really couldn't stop this loophole. It is foreseeable that Tubo will take the lead. If this plan succeeds, other countries will definitely follow suit.

Seeing Tubo's obedient retreat, Li Er said, "That's the end of the matter of Zhongnan Academy. If you have nothing else to do, you can retreat."

At this time, a short man rushed out with a staff and two followers.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we have something to reprimand! You people of the Tang Dynasty are arrogant and unreasonable, and abuse and bully us."

Wei Zheng stood up and shouted angrily: "Who are you shorties? You are so rude and making trouble in court? How dare you slander me, Datang?"

Gaogou Liyuan Gai Suwen sneered: "Could it be that there is something shameful that the Tang Dynasty doesn't even let people finish their sentences? It's really a kingdom of heaven."

Many countries followed suit and were dissatisfied. Li Er waved his hand to stop Wei Zheng, and asked, "Who is below? What is going on?"

Tang Jian, Minister of Honglu Temple, came out and replied, "Your Majesty, they are envoys from the Japanese overseas country in the east. The leader is called Haidao Ichiro."

"Waguo? Is that the Waguo that was enshrined by us when we were a big man?

So I don't know what the Japanese envoys are here for?Why do you say that our Tang Dynasty is arrogant and unreasonable, and abuses and oppresses you? "Li Er asked patiently.

I saw that Kaijima Ichiro shouted: "Our Majesty the Emperor of Japan sent us here..."

"Bastard! How dare a barbarian from a small island country call himself a great? I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is the emperor. How dare you call yourself an emperor? How dare you call yourself an emperor? You want to die!"

Before the Japanese envoy could say a word, he was violently interrupted. When everyone saw it, it turned out that it was Li Jing, the military leader, the old commander, who had already drawn out the sword at his waist, and was about to bully him.

Li Jing had outstanding military exploits, and was granted the privilege by Li Er to wear a sword in court. Except for Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong, who were able to carry golden maces and golden whips, none of the others had the right to bring weapons to the court.

The Japanese envoys were frightened by Li Jing's murderous look and took a step back. They were weak and did not dare to say anything. The eldest grandson Wuji went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, in the former Sui Dynasty, the Japanese sent envoys. Lord, to the Lord of the Sunset Kingdom, the former Sui Emperor Daye reprimanded him angrily at that time, but he did not expect that this guy would not change his character and come to the Tang Dynasty to be rude again, I ask your Majesty to kill him as an example to others!"

The envoy of the Japanese kingdom slumped on the ground at that time. He thought that this fat civil servant might be a kind person, but he didn't expect that he was in the same group as the white-haired butcher, and he killed people with his mouth.

Seeing the embarrassment of the Japanese envoy, His Majesty Li Er really didn't want to be as knowledgeable as him. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if the two countries are at war, the envoy will not be killed. The small country doesn't know etiquette. If it happens again, push it out and kill it."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Ichiro Kaijima was dying, he collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up, let alone speak. Two deputy envoys stepped forward and pulled him behind him, and then one of them came out and continued.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Hui Ri, a poor monk, is here to study and visit the Tang Dynasty under the order of the king of the country of Wa.

It's just that our Japanese emissary team has indeed been treated unfairly.

In the early years, the poor monk was also ordered to visit the Great Sui Dynasty. At that time, the Honglu Temple of the Sui Dynasty treated us foreign envoys very politely. Send us three boats of gold and silver treasures.

Why did the Tang Dynasty inherit the orthodox name of the Central Plains, but it was far from the Sui Dynasty?

Although we came late, we were also a dignified mission, but you didn’t even arrange a room for accommodation, and you didn’t even provide food and drink servants. You have always heard people say that the Great Tang Dynasty is better than the former Sui Dynasty. Vice, if Datang didn't neglect us on purpose, he would be far behind! "

It turned out that the deputy envoys dressed by these two monks were Hui Rihui Qi, the famous Tang envoy in history. These two visited China twice in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but they brought good things back to spread. Now they are accompanied by all nations. Join in the fun.

Changsun Wuji said disdainfully: "You are not qualified to judge whether the Tang Dynasty is better than the former Sui Dynasty, Japan? The border barbarian land, you are not qualified to comment on our merits, and you are not qualified to discuss friendship with us on an equal footing.

Back then, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty bestowed upon you a golden seal and a purple ribbon, engraved with the 'King's seal of the Han Japanese slaves', which means that you are vassals of our Central Plains, and now you want to establish diplomatic relations on an equal footing like other countries?Isn't it a betrayal of one's ancestors? "

Hou Junji sarcastically said: "It is said that Qian Sui eats and drinks for you, do you want to support Qian Sui to rebel?
Still want us to take care of your food and housing?Want servants and maids?Shall I arrange a few more beautiful women for you to enjoy? "

Hui Qi over there quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, we are monks, we don't need beauties, we just need servants, food and lodging must be the same as Da Sui's."

"Straight mother thief, you really have the guts to speak up, I hacked you two bald heads to death, and let you go with Hades!
Pharmacist, lend me the sword! "Hou Junji cursed and stretched out his hand towards Li Jing.

The two monks Hui Ri and Hui Qi panicked and shouted, "Emperor Tang, save me!"

Envoys from other countries expressed dissatisfaction, how could Datang kill envoys at will?

The court hall became chaotic for a while, Li Er frowned, stopped Hou Junji, and asked coldly: "Honglu Temple is responsible for the reception, what is the cause and effect of this matter? In detail, don't let others read the joke and say that we are unfair .”

Tang Jian knew very well that this was when he ran into Bai Fan at that time. Bai Fan said that the people of the Japanese country were nothing, and it was better to let them fend for themselves, so he didn't even arrange accommodation. No matter what other countries say, the Honglu Temple Guest House cannot accommodate them. , and arranged a good inn, which is not available in Japan.

"The founding of the Tang Dynasty is not long, and the country is not rich enough, so this time all the countries will not provide food and drink, but only provide accommodation. As for food, let's wait and see each country's strength. Datang Entertainment City has food and drink for sale. The envoys think Buy what you eat yourself, so as not to say that what we provide is not suitable for taste.

It's just that the Wa Kingdom came late, so there was no room, and when they were asked to wait, they had a bad attitude and hated the soldiers of Honglu Temple, so this happened. "

"Since there is a reason for the incident, the style of the Great Tang Dynasty is unavoidable. Let's expose the past and arrange accommodation for them according to the second-class etiquette standards. After all, they are a country of courtiers and cannot treat us as equals.

It's getting late, let's go back to the court if there is nothing to do, and the court will discuss it again if there is something to do. "

With a wave of Li Er's sleeve, he got up and left first. Everyone saluted and retreated slowly. The first big court meeting in the Tang Dynasty was full of turmoil, and finally withstood the pressure of the first round. Only Tubo took advantage of the loophole. Winning or losing the game between Tubo and Zhongnan Academy.

The envoys from all countries retreated separately, but Yuan Gai Su Wen was clever and sent someone to follow the Japanese envoy, because he noticed something that might be very useful.
