I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

The sun was hanging high, but the sunlight was no longer as wanton and violent as before.

The great heat has passed, and the beginning of autumn is approaching, and even the wind blowing has a hint of coolness.

And at the beach of Dengzhou, the coolness is even more abundant.

A group of chariots and horses were slowly driving on the ancient road.

"Princess Qianhe, after traveling for more than a month, we finally reached the border of the Tang Dynasty."

Pharmacist Hui Ri held the ancient book in his hand and said with a smile,

"We can finally go back to Japan!"

Inuami Mikichi in the carriage also raised his head, with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Yeah, it was difficult when I came here, and I almost got lost. I didn't expect the return trip to be smooth, and I didn't encounter any obstacles along the way."

he said,

"In just over a month, we have reached the border of Dengzhou."

"Our sea-going ships should still berth at the port of Dengzhou, right? I don't know if those fishermen have taken good care of our ships."

"Going home is like an arrow..."

Although Datang is prosperous, in their hearts, their hometown is more worthy of nostalgia.

The longer you leave your hometown, the stronger this emotion becomes.

"I'm not like you."

Haogong Qianhe shook his head and said,

"There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that it is difficult to leave the homeland, but I think that the outside world is more exciting."

"After seeing the Tang Dynasty, I realized how rudimentary and scarce Dongying is."

"Fortunately, this time, we got enough things from Datang, whether it's the few carts of ancient books, or the bronze cong presented by Mr. Xu, and the "Preface to the Collection of Lanting Pavilion", all of which can quickly enrich my background in Dongying. "

"If I can digest and absorb all these things, then I, Dongpu, will definitely be able to take on a whole new look!"

The two envoys were all happy when they heard the words.

"Princess Qianhe contributed a lot to this visit to the Tang Dynasty! She is the biggest contributor!"

Pharmacist Hui Ri flattered her,

"When you return to Japan, His Majesty will definitely reward you, Princess Qianhe!"

"To be honest, with your talents, if you were a man, you would definitely be able to become a prince!"

Inukami Mikichi also nodded.

"Yes, yes, Princess Qianhe is much better than the crown prince!"

In order to please Haogong Qianhe, the two did all the things they did.

However, Haogong Qianhe shook his head when he heard the words.

"So what if you're talented? After all, you're just a girl, so you can't accomplish anything."

She laughed to herself,

"In the end, I can only be a new Luofu."

"I've seen the Great Tang, the small country of Silla, really, hehe..."

Her eyes were full of disdain.

It seemed that his goal was to be a queen and concubine, but in the end he was forced to become the wife of a county magistrate.

This abjection is too great.

"This……"

"Huh..."

The two envoys looked at each other, knowing that this topic was sensitive, they dared not say anything more.

In fact, a woman can also become the leader of Dongying, and the previous ruler was a woman, but this only happens under certain circumstances.

This generation, obviously, is impossible.

crunch.

The wheels stopped.

"Stop, it's an important port, and idlers are not allowed to enter!"

A dull voice came from outside.

Haogong Qianhe pulled open the curtain and poked his head out.

But he saw a man who looked like a soldier with a solemn expression, blocking the way of the convoy.

"Inu Shang-kun, you go."

Haogong Qianhe ordered.

"Yes."

On the third day of the dog, he put on the letter of credence, got up and got out of the carriage.

In front of the carriage, there is also a large expanse of sand, and looking further into the distance, there is a sea!There are several boats of different sizes floating on the sea.

Dengzhou Port!
This place was originally just a beach, only some fishermen fished here, and no port was set up, until a man named Liu Fubo came here with a large investment.

Then, everything was different.

Sea ships are being built here, and the port is becoming more and more like that.

Naturally, management has also become stricter.

"Master, we are the Japanese envoys, visiting Datang."

Inukami Mikichi said politely,
"Now that the visit is over, I'm going back to Dongying from here, please let me go."

"This is the letter of credence of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, you can read it."

The soldier took the letter of credence, glanced at it, and nodded.

"It's really an envoy from Japan. I said how mighty it is, such a large convoy."

he said,

"Let's go."

"By the way, the ships you have deposited in Dengzhou Port will be docked on the shore, and you can take them away by yourself."

"Thank you very much." Inugami Mikichi smiled and cupped his hands again and again.

This Li Shimin's credential is easy to use, and he can go anywhere without hindrance.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of soldiers, the convoy drove towards the shore.

"Talk to the port and tell them that the Japanese envoys are coming, and tell them to get ready."

The leader of the soldiers ordered to his subordinates behind him,

"Jian Guo has specially instructed and arranged, there must be no negligence."

"Yes!" The subordinate ordered, and hurriedly ran to the port.

……

On the shore, a not too big sea boat floated on the water.

Compared with the Datang sea ship not far away, it looks a little petite.

"call--"

Haogong Qianhe stepped on the soft sand, looked at her own boat, and couldn't help clasping her hands together.

"Crossing the ocean, you have to rely on it again."

"May Amaterasu God bless you."

"Tsk tsk, the Tang Dynasty ship over there is really magnificent!" Pharmacist Hui Ridong looked around and said in admiration, "It's more than twice the size of our ship! It must be expensive, right? I don't know about these Tang people What are they going to do? Are they going to go to sea? Are they still looking for overseas fairy mountains?"

Haogong Qianhe followed his gaze and looked over.

Sure enough, the huge ship was floating in the sea, as stable as Mount Tai. Several ships were connected side by side to form a fleet, which was spectacular.

"The bigger the better, the stronger is not the most important thing."

Haogong Qianhe commented,
"The most important thing is to be able to withstand the wind and waves."

"These boats look magnificent, but if they are really drifting at sea, maybe our boat is safe."

"Okay, don't read any more! Unload all the books and load them on the boat! This is a big project, and it won't last an hour."

Pharmacist Huiri nodded and walked towards the back of the convoy.

There are five carts worth of books bought with ten thousand taels of gold!

pat!

The carriage was opened, and countless books were stacked together, so densely packed that it was dizzying.

"Finally, I can bring all the wisdom of Datang back to Dongpu!"

Pharmacist Hui Ri crossed his waist, raised his eyebrows and said,
"Come on, start!"

With an order, all the followers moved and began to unload the goods from the car.

And at this moment, a cavalry galloped over from the dock not far away and stationed their horses in front of the convoy.

"Who are you, and why are you here at Dengzhou Port?"

The leading cavalryman held a spear and was fully armored, and asked in a deep voice.

"Didn't you ask me just now?"

Inugami Mikichi was puzzled, but he still took out his credentials and said loudly,

"We are the envoys of Dongpu, and we will return to Dongpu."

"This is the official letter of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. Please take a look at it, the general, and make it convenient for us."

The cavalry captain nodded.

"It turned out to be an envoy from Dongpu. I have already known your intentions just now, and I will not stop you."

He got off his horse, scanned the ancient books on the five large carriages, and asked,
"Then what are these?"

Inuami Sankichi thought to himself that you already knew, why are you asking a fart?

Although he was a little upset in his heart, he still had a smile on his face and cupped his hands;

"Returning to the general, these are the books we bought from Datang, and we will bring them back to Dongying to study."

"The culture of the Tang Dynasty is so extensive and profound, it's really amazing! Even if we in Dongying have been studying for ten or a hundred years, we can't compare to it!"

He has come to Datang for a while and he has figured out the temper of Tang people.

As long as you exaggerate the strength of Tang Dynasty and the power of Tang Dynasty, basically all Tang people will have their nostrils upturned and look happy, so that their attitude will improve a lot.

Try a hundred spirits.

The general Xuanjia in front of him is naturally no exception.

"My background in the Tang Dynasty is naturally not comparable to that of your small country in Dongying."

He proudly said,

"Yes, yes, that is that..." Inuami Mikichi clapped his hands again and again, following his wishes.

"Okay, let's unload these books for routine inspection."

General Xuanjia ordered.

Inugami Miri was taken aback.

"It's just some books, nothing else..."

he hesitated,

"General, it's troublesome to check, why don't you just rest, look at this..."

As he spoke, he leaned forward and took out a piece of gold from his pocket.

There is still some surplus from the trips along the way, and it is useless to board the ship anyway, so it doesn't feel bad to use it to manage the port general at the moment.

"Who do you take me for?"

General Xuanjia looked solemn, raised his hand and said,
"Take it away, I won't eat your trick!"

"Datang now has customs, and all items that leave the country need to be inspected. If there are items on the list that are prohibited from leaving the country, they will be confiscated!"

"We must act impartially, otherwise the law is ruthless!"

"Come on, help them unload together, and then check!"

After all, the Xuanjia cavalry behind them dismounted one after another, got into the carriage without any explanation, and began to carry books outside.

"This, well, well..."

"There are really only books, and nothing else. Why should the general waste his efforts? Sigh..."

Inukami Mikichi's complexion was a little ugly, but he still chose to cooperate.

Haogong Qianhe also came over when he heard the movement behind him.

"what happened?"

She glanced at the hundred or so Xuanjia soldiers who suddenly appeared, frowned and said,
"who are they?"

"It is said that it is from Datang Customs. It is a routine inspection, and no prohibited items are allowed to be taken away." Pharmacist Hui Ri moved a box of books, rolled his eyes and muttered, "Just to cause trouble for us! We have to leave, and we have to add trouble... ..."

"Prohibited items?"

Haogong Qianhe suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but it disappeared in a flash.

She waved her hands and said in a low voice:
"Don't add extra details, let them check if they want to check, it's just books anyway."

Pharmacist Hui Ri hummed, and continued to carry goods outside.

With the 'help' of more than 100 soldiers, five carts of books were quickly unloaded.

They unpacked the box and began to examine it.

"General, what is a prohibited item?",

Inukami Mikichi was a little bored for a while, so he chatted with General Xuanjia beside him.

General Xuanjia glanced at him.

"you do not need to know."

He responded coldly.

Inukami Mikichi gave a smug smile.

"Aren't you thinking about avoiding it in the future... Wouldn't it be a bad thing if you accidentally carry contraband?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier in front suddenly shouted.

"General! Forbidden books have been found here!"

As soon as the sound fell, a soldier on the other end called out:
"General, banned books have also been found here!"

"General, here, and here, here are all prohibited books, which are expressly prohibited from leaving the country!"

"General!"

"..."

All of a sudden, as if the alarm was sounding, more than a dozen soldiers shouted.

Inuami Mikichi; "!!!"

"How could this be..."

His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly turned his head to look at General Xuanjia beside him.

But seeing that General Xuanjia's face darkened, he strode forward and stopped in front of the soldiers.

"Look, general, this is the Book of Changes! It is expressly forbidden to leave the country!"

"General, there are also the "Huangdi Neijing", "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", and "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases". These are all medical books! There are regulations on the list that all medical books cannot be exported!"

"General, here are all agricultural books, and they are not allowed to leave the country!"

"General, this area is full of books about astronomy, and this pile is about books about architecture and carpentry. They are also not allowed to leave the country!"

"General..."

One after another voices came, and a series of 'prohibited books' were placed in front of General Xuanjia, causing a trace of anger to appear on his face.

"Envoys from Japan, you guys are so courageous!"

Holding a copy of "Huangdi Neijing", he said angrily,

"How dare you carry so many prohibited items and want to leave the country!"

"Do you think it's so easy for this general to get away with it?!"

"What a joke!"

"come!"

Swish swish!
A hundred Xuanjia soldiers stepped forward and surrounded the entire Dongying Mission.

"Open all the boxes, go through every book, and find out all the prohibited books."

he yelled,

"One book, don't miss it!"

Inuami Mikichi: "!!!"

Pharmacist Huiri: "!!!"

Haogong Qianhe: "!!!"

"How can these be banned books? Where is this banned?! Why do you say they are banned?!"

Haogong Qianhe felt anxious, stepped forward and reasoned,
"We paid a lot of money to buy these in Chang'an! We have already bought them. We are their owners and have the right to take them away!"

General Xuan Jia sneered when he heard this.

"Bought it, you are their master?"

He said coldly,

"Actually, that's right—but!"

"There is a premise, that is, you are the owner of them in Datang! No one will stop you from carrying and owning them. But if you want to leave the country, you have to abide by the customs' standards!"

"In the customs prohibited list, these books are not allowed to leave the country!"

"Once investigated and dealt with, all will be confiscated! If the circumstances are serious, they will be fined! Heavy fines!"

Haogong Qianhe's face turned pale, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground!
