The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 271 On Sending Tang Envoys
"Although what I said is good, but I feel that because of my own selfishness, in the end Tubo and Datang will fight again, and how many soldiers in the front will die on the battlefield because of this." Speaking of this, Jinyang's emotions are a little bit low.

The life of a princess is exchanged for the lives of thousands of soldiers. Anyone with a discerning eye knows how to choose.

Xuan Shijing got up, walked to Jinyang, sat down, patted her on the back, and said softly: "It's not difficult to choose, sometimes, you can't measure the country and the country according to the normal thinking." Things between countries, such as marriages, and conversely, Tubo wants to make peace with Datang, why not let the princess of Tubo marry to Datang? Is the living conditions of Datang hundreds of times better than Tubo? For another example, sometimes, for the military generals of the Tang Dynasty, can marriage be regarded as another kind of humiliation? More importantly, what did the princesses of the Tang Dynasty take away when they went to Fanbang? advanced technology, excellent production tools, so that although it can be said to have enlightened Fanbang, what about in the long run? King Mo Xin and his relatives gave birth to more young children. To put it bluntly, who can Guaranteed that the kings of the Tang Dynasty will be as wise and powerful as His Majesty in a few hundred years? When the surrounding countries become stronger, they will be eager to bully the Central Plains, and the things brought by the married princess have become the most important things for their children and grandchildren. sharp weapon."

Seeing Marquis Dongshan and Princess Jinyang talking about these things, the two eunuchs and a court lady serving around them all consciously exited the cabin and stood on the deck.

Speaking of this, Xuan Shijing couldn't help frowning, because he remembered that there seem to be many envoys sent by the Wa Kingdom to Tang in Chang'an
Sure enough, no matter what age it is in that country, people can't like it.

"What's the matter? Brother Jing." Jin Yang saw that Xuan Shijing's expression was a little strange as he spoke.

"It suddenly occurred to me that Chang'an now has many envoys sent by Goguryeo and Wa Kingdom to Tang Dynasty." Xuan Shijing said.

Jin Yang nodded: "Well, it happened a long time ago, and there have been three or four waves. It was all arranged by Honglu Temple. After sending Tang envoys to Datang, Honglu Temple will report to Father Emperor, and then Arrange them in the official residence."

"It's really good treatment. Come to our Tang Dynasty to learn our culture, learn our technology, pay the tuition fee honestly, and receive such courtesy. It seems that the gang of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites have really lost their heads. .” Xuan Shijing said dissatisfied.

The original shape of the samurai sword of the Wa Kingdom is the Tang Dao of the Tang Dynasty. It is ridiculous that many ancestors' crafts are on the verge of being lost in modern times, but the Wa Kingdom has preserved them quite well.

The samurai sword is based on the original shape of the Tang sword, and the curvature of the blade is increased, so that it is more convenient for chopping, and the martial arts moves of the Japanese country are mostly picking, stabbing, fatigue, and chopping, which is similar to the shape of the samurai sword. It also has a lot to do with it.

"Brother Jing thinks that later generations might threaten Datang with the advanced techniques that originally belonged to Datang?" Seeing Xuan Shijing so annoyed, Jin Yang thought of what he had just said about the things brought to Fanbang by the princess and her relatives. Some remarks, so I came to such a conclusion.

"That's right, look at the original Tubo, the original Turks, if it weren't for the great Tang Dynasty, how could there be a scene where they honestly bowed to His Majesty in the court hall now." Xuan Shijing said.

"In this case, wouldn't it be beneficial for the Tang Dynasty to accommodate Goguryeo and the Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty?"

Xuan Shijing smiled wryly: "Yes, I have gained a bit of the reputation of being tolerant to all kinds of people. Maybe civil servants value this reputation. But what I don't understand is that the house minister and the eldest grandson are impossible. I can't see the pros and cons clearly, why would I agree with Datang's policy?"

"Brother Jing doesn't know something. Many adults in the court are taught Confucianism. Even Sizi heard the most about this when he was in school. Not everyone is like Brother Jing. Like."

So disrespectful. Even though it should be.
"Actually, Brother Jing's thinking is too simple. The reason why the Tang Dynasty is so prosperous today is also inseparable from the tolerance of the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty. If it is for the surrounding countries, the Tang Dynasty If they are so hidden, all that remains between the countries will be mutual suspicion and endless wars." Jin Yang thought seriously.

After all, he is an excellent child from the royal family. This ideological realm is really not something that Xuan Shijing can catch up with. What Jin Yang said makes sense. It has become narrower, always looking at neighboring countries with colored glasses, but Xuan Shijing's views and opinions are indeed correct, such as his views on Goguryeo and Wa.
These views of his have been verified by the precipitation of nearly a thousand years of history.

The Japanese pirates of the Ming Dynasty, the modern invaders, including the shameless thieves of the current Chinese culture.
Therefore, for Goguryeo and Wa, what Xuan Shijing has to do is to suppress endlessly. This can be regarded as a breath of anger for the "children" of later generations
Wa country is a very hypocritical country. For those who are stronger than them, they will always face and learn with a low profile and very humble performance. However, for those who are weaker than them, that is endless plunder
"Sure enough, Sizi's vision is much wider than mine." Xuan Shijing sighed, "However, my views on neighboring countries are still the same. You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others." , especially for the country of Wa, Si, Brother Jing doesn't have a good impression of the country of Wa at all."

"Oh? Why?" Jin Yang was puzzled: "I saw the Tang envoy sent by the Japanese kingdom in the palace before. He was polite and modest, and he was much better than the people from Tubo."

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "It's not the same, there are two kinds of people, one is bad on the surface, but also bad on the inside, he will let you see his badness very straightforwardly; the other kind of person is kind on the surface , but actually he is a tiger with a smile on his face, but he is bad in his heart, Sizi said, which of these two kinds of people is more annoying?"

"Of course it's the second type." Jin Yang replied without hesitation: "Oh? Could it be that brother Jing means that people from the Wa country belong to the second type?"

"Well, that's right, you know, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng of the Taishi Bureau, the two Taoist priests, have never dealt with Japanese people." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Why is that?"

"Because, it's born from the heart."
