Ji Tang

Chapter 165 Wang Xuance II is on the shelves for the first time!
Do you think this is the end?

The above mentioned is only one of his achievements. Economically, Wang Xuance opened up a route from Tubo to Tianzhu.

Wang Xuance was the main pioneer of the Tubo-Tianzhu Road.The opening of the Tubo-Tianzhu Road promoted friendly exchanges and cultural exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu countries.

Wang Xuance's crusade against Zhongtianzhu was personally counterproductive, but it had a great impact on Tianzhu at that time.

Wang Xuance's counterattack against Zhongtianzhu Aronashun not only safeguarded the authority of the Tang Dynasty, but also did not undermine the development of Sino-Indian relations. Although he was secretly wary, he appeared to be more respectful and aweful openly.

In the second year of Xianqing, Wang Xuance went to India for the third time.In the third year of Qianfeng's reign, all five Tianzhu kingdoms sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty.

In the third year of Xianheng, each country in southern Tianzhu presented gifts.In the first year of Yongchun, Nantianzhu sent Fangwu to the Tang Dynasty.

In the second year of Tianshou, the king of eastern India, Marozhimo, the king of western India, Sheila Yiduo, the king of southern India, Chalouqibalapo, the king of northern India, Louqinana, and the king of central India, Dipoxina, all came to the court to offer sacrifices. .

It can be said that Wang Xuance single-handedly promoted further exchanges between Tianzhu and Datang and made great contributions to the cultural exchanges at that time.

The development of the road from Tubo to Tianzhu also has its historical basis.

At that time, Harsha King Shirayita had died, and the powerful minister Aranashun usurped the throne, but he was unable to unify.

The Harsha dynasty was divided and there was no tendency to reunite.No matter whether Wang Xuance led his army to attack Central Tianzhu or not, India was unable to hold back the Western Turks.

Some people say that Tibet is a great enemy, but it was not during the Zhenguan period.

What's more, during the Zhenguan period, the Tang army easily defeated the Tubo army. The Tubo withdrew from Dangxiang, Bailanqiang, and Tuyuhun. The Tubo Songtsan Gampo apologized, gave generous gifts, and professed vassalage to the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the Tubo behaved very respectfully and did not violate the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the Tang Dynasty did not need to contain Tubo.

It is because of such a good environment that the road from Tubo to Tianzhu was successfully opened.With the opening of roads, merchants from both Tianzhu and Datang also communicated with each other, thus accelerating technological and cultural exchanges between the two parties.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent Wang Xuance as an envoy to Tianzhu.Wang Xuance learned the sugar-making method from the Magadha Kingdom in India and brought back sugar-making craftsmen. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered Yangzhou to send sugar cane. The color, taste and quality of the sugar made using this method far exceeded that of sugar made in the Western Regions.

In the first year of Longshuo, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance brought ten sugar craftsmen from India on the emperor's order and used the "bamboo steamer method" to produce refined sand sugar with lighter color.

The Sanskrit name of this kind of Tianzhu sand candy was transliterated by contemporary people as "Sha Cut Ling".Since then, the Tianzhu Sugar Refining Method has taken root in China, bringing economic benefits to the people and the country at that time.

India's sugar production technology has also been imaginatively improved and perfected under the new environment and new concepts, laying the foundation for China to play an important role in the world's cane sugar culture.

It can be said that Wang Xuance was an outstanding diplomat no less than Zhang Qian and Ban Gu. In the military field, he greatly promoted the prestige of China and prevented small foreign countries from looking down upon him because of the distance.

However, perhaps it was the ups and downs in his childhood and the difficulties in officialdom that made him choose the path of opportunism and seeking favors when he did not receive national awards.

In his later years, Li Shimin was obsessed with the art of immortality. This was a common problem among emperors. The more outstanding the emperor, the more obsessed he was.

Just such an incident attracted Wang Xuance's attention. Years of suppression forced him to take desperate measures.

In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance captured an Indian monk named Naluo Suopo during a foreign war.

In order to cater to Li Shimin's desire to beg for immortality, Wang Xuance dedicated this monk to Li Shimin.

The Indian monk boasted that he was [-] years old and specialized in the art of immortality. He vowed that if he took the elixir he made, he would live forever, and he could even ascend to the heavenly palace in broad daylight to become a fairy.

Li Shimin believed it to be true, and then ordered him to make a "life-prolonging medicine" for himself. The monk would give Li Shimin some colorful pills every now and then. Soon after, Li Shimin was poisoned and died.Therefore, Wang Xuance may be one of the culprits who killed Li Shimin. Because of this disgraceful past, Wang Xuance was not reused during the Li rule period, and he was not promoted after that.

This was still Li Zhi's generosity. If there was a tyrannical emperor, the culprit who killed the previous emperor would be beheaded or even be exterminated.

As for what is unknown to us, this is not something we can understand.

For such a legendary figure who has mixed reputations and reputations, Ji Song also has a headache how to face him.Shaking his head, Ji Song stood up and walked out.

It's almost time now, and the boy should have come out, so I let myself take a good look at how this legendary figure who fascinated me back then was different when he was a child.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help quickening his pace.

"You eat slowly, this is a good palace for the Marquis, let the Marquis see how decent it is!" The Queen Mother helplessly looked at her son who was devouring the food, feeling really embarrassed.

"Mom, please eat quickly! In the future, your child will have to eat such good food every day!" He had something in his mouth at this time, and his speech was unclear, but he did not slow down his eating speed at all.

"You will be disappointed. The food in the Marquis Mansion is not available elsewhere. This is the secret skill of the Marquis Mansion. Even His Majesty asked the Marquis to train several cooks for him.

Therefore, your wish will come true. Yao Chang said from the side.

He is still a little worried about what happened that day, thinking that he has been wallowing in officialdom for many years, but that day he was speechless by a child with a yellow mouth.

If you hadn't seen that he was indeed a piece of jade, you would have made him suffer no matter what, in order to relieve the hatred in your heart!
"That young man just now was in good condition?" Wang Xuance wiped his mouth and said casually.

Without waiting for Yao Chang to speak, he added: "She doesn't look much older than me. There's nothing special about her except that she's prettier than me!"

"Shut up!"

"presumptuous!"

The first sentence was said by Yao Chang, and the second sentence was said by the Queen Mother.

"Snapped!"

The Queen Mother didn't wait for Yao Chang to attack, and slapped her son hard on the face, saying: "You are usually sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued in Luoyang, but you still dare to be unreasonable to the Marquis. Do you think the two of you will survive?" It’s been too long, so what’s the matter? It’s not your fault that you want to die.”

"mother"

"Shut up. If you are still so arrogant and disrespectful in the future, don't call me mother. I don't have a son like you." The Queen Mother turned her back, but her slightly trembling body exposed her The restlessness in my heart.

Wang Xuance was speechless for a moment. He knelt down behind his mother silently and cried: "My child doesn't dare to do anything anymore. Please don't ignore me, okay? Your son is the only relative he has."

Yao Chang closed his mouth that he had not yet opened, not knowing what to say for a moment.
