Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 591 The Sensible Emperor
The three artifacts of the Japanese kingdom are the "Grass shaving sword", "Bachiqiong Gouyu" and "Yataka mirror".

These three things represent the inheritance of the Japanese royal family, and their importance is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty's jade seal. Only by owning it can it represent that you are orthodox.

Now that Emperor Kotoku even donated this thing, it can be seen that he really gave up the Wa country.

Gao Ming was naturally happy with such a result, so after returning to the East Palace, Gao Ming first went to Su Wan'er's room to hug his precious daughter, and then played with the three miraculous artifacts passed down from generation to generation in the study.

But unfortunately, after Gao Ming's careful observation, the three artifacts of the Wa Kingdom, which have many legends in later generations, do not seem to be very rare.

The first is the Kusanagi Sword. Its shape is not like the sharp long knife in the rumors, but a short sword used in the Qin Dynasty. Its style is not much like the sword in the hands of the Qin Shihuang Terracotta Army that Gao Ming once saw. difference.

However, judging from the material, it should not be bronze, but iron. Gao Ming guessed that it should be meteorite.

The material of the Yata mirror is the same as that of the Kusanagi sword, it is made of meteorite, and the style is also the style of the mirror in the Qin Dynasty. Even the pattern on the back of the mirror is similar to the mirror pattern in the Qin Dynasty.

As for the Bachi Qionggou Jade, it was a very strange shape of jade. It gave Gao Ming the impression that it was a circular jade pendant that fell to the ground and broke in half, and then polished it with the remaining half.

Looking at the three "artifacts" of the Japanese country in front of him, Gao Ming suddenly had a strange idea.

"The so-called "Three Artifacts", could it be something from the Qin Dynasty?"

After this idea appeared in Gao Ming's mind, it was out of control immediately, and Gao Ming immediately remembered the legend of Xu Fu.

It is said that Xu Fu obeyed Qin Shihuang's will and took three thousand boys and girls to sea to search for the elixir of life. Unfortunately, he did not find it, and was afraid that Qin Shihuang would blame him, so he established himself as king on an island, which later became the kingdom of Wa.

Regarding this legend, Gao Ming had always regarded it as a legend in the past and never took it seriously, but now looking at the "three artifacts" in front of him, Gao Ming suddenly had an intuition.

Maybe the legend is true!
Because if the legend is not true, why do these three "artifacts" representing the inheritance of the Japanese royal family look like things from the Qin Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately smiled and shook his head.

"Forget it, anyway, the Wa Kingdom has completely fallen into my hands now, and the facts are no longer important. Anyway, from now on, there will be no Wa Kingdom, and the word "Emperor" will never appear again."

In fact, many people don't know that the term "emperor" was not used to refer to the monarch of the Japanese country at first, but was used to refer to Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

According to historical records, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, Datang had frictions with the Japanese country at Baijiangkou in Baekje, and the first sea battle took place, which was also the famous Battle of Baijiangkou.

At that time, the general of the Tang Dynasty who presided over the battle was Liu Rengui. He led more than 3000 Tang troops and more than 170 warships, defeated the navy that the Japanese country was proud of, burned more than 1000 warships, and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers. Killed or drowned.

After this war, Wa Kingdom understood who was the real master, so they honored Li Zhi as the "Emperor" and Wu Mei as the "Queen of Heaven". Even after Li Zhi died, his posthumous title was the Emperor of Heaven.

The earliest written record of the name of the monarch in the Wa Kingdom is in the "Asuka Jingyuyuan Order" formulated by Emperor Tenmu from 673 to 688.

The Battle of Baijiangkou took place in 663, about ten years apart, which also proves this historical fact.

In other words, now that Gao Ming has taken the Wa Kingdom, it is naturally impossible for the Battle of Baijiangkou to occur again in 20 years. Since there is no Battle of Baijiangkou, the name "Emperor" will naturally not appear.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Hey, since the Wa kingdom is gone and the emperor is gone, it's useless to keep these so-called three artifacts, so why not just deal with them!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells outside the door.

"Hee hee hee... Big brother, I'm back!"

Hearing this voice, Gao Ming looked up immediately, and saw a green figure running in from the door, and plunged into his arms.

"Brother, Sizi misses you so much, do you miss Sizi?"

It was none other than Jinyang Princess Li Mingda who ran in at this moment.

Behind her, Ben Ben, dressed in yellow and white, also ran in.

After this guy came in, he pushed his big head into Gao Ming's arms, as if he was acting like a baby to Gao Ming, which immediately made Li Mingda "giggle" and laughed.

"Hehehe...Brother, Benben is also asking if you want it, hehe!"

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help but nodded with a smile.

"Haha, of course the eldest brother misses you. I haven't seen you these few days. Where did you take Benben to play?"

As he said that, Gao Ming stretched out his hand to touch Li Mingda's little head, and then rubbed a few times on Benben's big hairy head.

Feeling the warm hand on his head, Li Mingda smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, just like a kitten.

"Sizi went to uncle's house to play with Er Dan, hee hee!"

The douchebag that Li Mingda was talking about was Li Lizhi's son who was born before. Now he is almost half a year old, and he looks like a tiger, very cute.

At the beginning, Gao Ming said that he was calling the child a douchebag as a joke, but he didn't want Changsun Wuji to directly settle the matter and not allow anyone to change it, which caused some disturbances in the circle at that time.

Of course Gao Ming knew that Changsun Wuji's move was to show his favor, and at the same time, he also hoped that he would protect the child.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Speaking of which, I haven't given Er Dan any decent presents yet. I just happen to have a piece of ancient jade from the Qin Dynasty here, which is suitable for children to play with. You can help me get it to him next time!"

As he said that, Gao Ming casually picked up the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu on the desk, and put it in Li Mingda's hands.

That indifferent look, as if what was given out was not some "Three Artifacts of the Japanese Kingdom", but an ordinary small stone.

After Li Mingda got the Bachi Qiong Gouyu, he put it in his pocket without even looking at it, then smiled and nodded towards Gao Ming.

"Well, big brother, I know now, so I'm going to my sister-in-law's first, let's go!"

"Ouch..."

Seeing Li Mingda bouncing and leading Benben out, Gao Ming smiled and shook his head, then called Shi Jian who was standing at the door to come in.

"Shi Jian, please help me send this sword and this mirror on the table to the Ministry of Military Industry and give it to Liu Tao. Let him use these two things to help me make a Tang knife. Go!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Shi Jian hurriedly agreed, then picked up the Kusanagi sword and the Yata mirror and went out.

Looking at the back of her leaving, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth curled up again.

"Goodbye, Waguo."
