Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 95 Cultural Heritage
Wu Lun heard the words, but didn't know whether to believe them or not.

"Sister Huang, what's the problem? If brother Huang can do what he can, he will help you with all his strength."

Princess: "No problem." Even if you can't protect yourself, if there is something embarrassing me, it is not something you can solve.

The two cherished each other for a while, Wu Lun confirmed that the princess's friendship with him was still there, and his vigilance dropped a lot.

After the secret conversation between the two, Shen San asked to mention his business.

"Brother Huang, do you have a sure wife for your second son?"

Wu Lun responded very easily: "It's not confirmed yet, he can't speak yet." Fortunately, it's not a major matter.

Shen San asked: "Brother Huang, do you still remember Xue Shao?"

Wu Lun: "Of course I remember, he has been exiled for thousands of miles. What's the matter, suddenly brought up?"

Shen San asked: "Xue Shao is only implicated, but he is full of loyalty. San Wen wants to recommend him to be the wife of your second son Li Longji. Xue Shao is a loyal person, and he is also the emperor's brother-in-law. From his own family, can the emperor be trusted?"

Wu Lun was a little hesitant, "Now that Xue Shaoyuan is thousands of miles away, and he is guilty of a crime, if he is hired as his wife, what should I do with the Queen Mother?"

Shen San asked: "If Brother Huang believes that Xue Shao can teach your child well, then I will make arrangements. However, Xue Shao may not be able to come to Luoyang."

Wu Lun: "I'm sorry to bother you. This is Longji's good fortune. Xue Shao is loyal and has a lot of life experience. If Longji can improve, it is something to be gratified about."

If he didn't know Wu Lun's scheming, Shen Sanwen would never have guessed the true feelings behind this face.

After inquiring, Wu Lun left, and the princess personally sent him out.

After Wu Lun was sent away, the princess came to inquire.

Princess: "Why did you recommend Xue Shao to be Li Longji's wife?"

Shen San asked: "I don't know why, it's just that there is a kind of power in the dark that guides me to do this."

Princess: "Playing tricks, if you don't tell me, I won't ask again."

Shen San asked: "Are you angry?"

Princess: "It's not worth it."

Shen Sanwen hugged his wife, and then touched the unborn baby, "I just hope that Xue Shao can teach him to be a person who truly values ​​affection, not a cold-blooded and heartless person."

Princess: "Brother Xue Shao died tragically, so maybe he didn't feel resentful towards his mother. If Li Longji was by his side, maybe he could become his revenge tool."

Shen Sanwen expressed panic, "Brother Xue is not such a person."

The princess doesn't want to continue discussing this topic, he can trust Xue Shao, but the power of education is limited after all.

Shen Sanwen didn't think there was anything to be entangled with, but he just did his best to obey the destiny and follow the trend.

However, the new prime minister, Cui Shenji, recently made Shen Sanwen look at him with admiration.

Cui Shenji has seen Tubo people, Turkic people, and Japanese people.

Since Taizong, there has been an endless stream of Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty.

When the queen came to court, the Japanese did not fall behind. They continued to send envoys to learn the advanced culture of Wu Zhou, planting technology, medical skills, tea ceremony and so on.

On this day, the new Japanese envoy came to Chang'an.

Foreign countries coming to the court have been regarded as a symbol of a country's prosperity and strength since ancient times, and Emperor Wu did not dislike it.

However, Datang despised all barbarians, so Honglu Temple was specially set up to entertain these people.Although the boss of Honglu Temple is not low in official rank, no one takes this official position seriously, and it is the first time that a prime minister is selected from here.

In the early dynasty, Honglu Temple only briefly mentioned the presence of envoys from the Japanese country, but Cui Shenji advised that the scope and power of the Japanese people to learn the culture of the Central Plains should be limited.

Cui Shenji: "Your Majesty, I have been communicating with foreign countries for ten years. The Tubo Turks are bold and good at plundering. It is difficult to become a master. Even if they learn how to plant tea ceremony buildings, it is difficult to use them because of the terrain and climate. The Koreans are lazy. The combat power is weak and nothing to fear. But only the Japanese are resolute, good at imitating, cruel and unruly, ungrateful, and unruly. It is said that the leader of the Japanese is called the Emperor, and the emperors of the Central Plains call themselves the Son of Heaven. I treat him as a friend. Treating me as a father shows arrogance. The architecture and order of the Japanese imitated the Tang Dynasty, and even the name. The four-character surname name has been handed down for a long time in the Central Plains. The Japanese imitated Emperor Xiaowen's reform of changing names. Both changed the four-character names, which shows the admiration for the culture of the Central Plains.

However, the Japanese have never been grateful.The special product of the Japanese country, the culture of the Japanese country, has never admired the words and sentences of the Tang Dynasty.Please cut off the contacts with the Japanese country and no longer accept the Japanese envoys.In order to prevent the Japanese kingdom from being strong in the future, it will become a confidant of the Central Plains. "

Emperor Wu: "When I was in love with Qing, I was a little alarmist, but it is just a tiny place, how can it become a big weapon."

Cui Shenji continued to admonish, if Zi Chou Yinmao can be said, the Lord will definitely accept it. "Your Majesty, the Japanese are resolute. When they send envoys across the oceans, there is no one in a hundred. They have never complained. They have never ceased for a hundred years. And Honglu Temple observes the Japanese. They rise at sunrise and continue through the night. Diligence and perseverance are by no means The Kingdom of Yi Yu."

Emperor Wu pondered for a while, the country is not big, but there are outstanding people who are not afraid of the world, if the Japanese people are really like what Cui Shenji said, they have to guard against them.

Shen Sanwen came forward and seconded, "Your Majesty, Japanese brutal officials have also heard about it. Japanese people have a kind of Caesarean section punishment. If they have owed the emperor's grace or important family responsibilities, they will commit suicide by committing seppuku. The pain of harakiri is against human nature. Pain is unbearable for ordinary people, so Japanese warriors are also called ninjas, which means that ninjas cannot bear. According to martial arts, achievements, and status, ninjas are divided into different levels. They are all trained at the age of three or five, instilling the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and Bushido Mentally, ninjas have been treated inhumanly since they were young, and it is even more difficult for them to have a sound humanity.

In the old Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, bronze was used as sword, and then refined iron was used as sword.The Japanese kingdom is surrounded by the sea on all sides, protected by natural dangers, and the island is rich in mineral resources, and there is no shortage of ores. If one day, there are sharp tools that surpass fine iron, the Japanese will be able to fight against a hundred and be invincible.The Japanese will certainly not give up the prosperity of the Central Plains and raise their troops to invade. "

There was a lot of discussion in the court, the people of Wu Zhou were hundreds of times and thousands of times the number of Japanese people, this day, it is impossible?
Emperor Wu could hear the implication, that an elite group is far more useful than a group of rabble.Enslaving a country does not require a very sufficient population, as long as it can kill each other, and then choose the appropriate forces to support it.

It's just that if the way of Japanese people's learning is cut off, a reasonable reason is needed.Moreover, cutting off the inheritance of culture in this way would be disrespectful to a big country.

Cui Shenji also remonstrated, "If the Japanese emperor can remove the title of emperor, if the Japanese can be educated, learn to respect Confucianism, be kind, be grateful, forgive, and study the essence of Confucianism carefully, you can also make an exception."

Emperor Wu was very satisfied with this, "Decreed that along the border prefectures and counties, set up Japanese envoy assessments, and those who could not learn the essence of Confucian culture were not allowed to go ashore. From then on, Japanese envoys were not allowed to read Confucianism within five years of Wu Wu. Other books. When you can acquire other cultures is another matter. As for the title of emperor, it is just a dream of an emperor in a country of ants, so there is no need to worry about gossip."

　Thank you for your recommendation votes, please continue to ask for votes.The second watch is here, good night.
