Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The Daxu envoy stayed in Ping'anjing and other places for one month, returned to Haizhou (Lianyungang), disembarked and returned to Beijing. The process was tortuous, but when they returned to China, they were immediately regarded as a failed attempt at diplomatic relations by many officials.

Said that the national book was written in the name of the Minister of Responsibility, and promised to choose the auspicious year, month and day to make a great tribute; but they did not immediately send an envoy to make a tribute, but I don't know if this date is ten or twenty years later! In addition, when the envoy Zhao Hong and others returned to the imperial court, they said that their country was disrespectful. For a while, the court officials were angry. Li Chuyun and other heroes wrote a letter to war against the country. They used force to deter them before discussing diplomatic relations.

However, there are also ministers who think that the Jiaolong Army has very few sea ships, the large ships are not completed, and the sea route is far away. They suggested that they could make contact with local officials in the form of non-governmental trade, and then slow down.

The Korean messenger heard that Da Xu was dissatisfied with Japan's own country, and was overjoyed. He wrote that the emperor first occupied Tsushima and then attacked his country. For some reason, as long as the Central Plains wants to conquer Japan, it has always been something that Korea likes to hear.

Xu Wenwu is extremely angry. This is a very subtle state of mind... If the Liao Kingdom refuses to call a minister or father, everyone will not react; but a weak country and a small state that they look down on is disrespectful, it is something that cannot be forgiven!

But Guo Shao did not show any attitude. He first summoned the chief and deputy envoys in the West Hall, and personally listened to Zhao Hong's statement.

Zhao Hong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are people in Japan who think that they don't care about my dynasty, and some people respect my martial arts power, but on the surface they are respectful but want to perfunctory rituals and do not want to anger my dynasty."

The deputy envoy Zhang Yin also took the opportunity to pray in the back: "Weichen agrees. There are two reasons why the monarchs and ministers of this country have such a posture. One is that they don’t know that our country is for the benefit of the mine, and they think we are just to show off our power. To expedition to Japan for the sake of a name, thousands of years of experience may not seem to be great. Second, Japan's monarchs and ministers have vast seas and roads, and the imperial whip is beyond reach. Degree of it."

"Huh." Guo Shao heard Zhang Yin's words and immediately noticed him, and the first sentence of his opening was: "Oh! I remember, you helped me do arithmetic in Pingxia."

Zhang Yin said hurriedly: "Weichen is a matter of course."

When Zhao Hong heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yin with displeasure.

Even Guo Shao saw this subtle movement, but Zhang Yin didn't know it. His face was red with excitement. He couldn't wait to hold a stack of files with both hands in front of Zhao Hong, and hold things above his head. : "Weichen's mission to Japan this time, and everything he saw, heard and felt along the way, is recorded in this booklet, please read it!"

Guo Shao gave a light wink, and the **** Cao Tai stepped forward to take the file and submit it.

Guo Shao flipped it through and saw that it was filled with words and pictures in teeny lower letters, and there were dozens of pages spread out. He immediately said: "It's worthwhile to wait for your envoy."

The two hurriedly said, "Thank your majesty for his impunity."

After they retired, Guo Shao became very interested in what Zhang Yin had contributed, and immediately began to read them.

Of course, Guo Shao is no stranger to his own country. Later generations turn on TV and there are more TV series... However, Guo Shao is very one-sided about how much he knows about this opponent.

So for him, this is a familiar and unfamiliar opponent. In the past, Guo Shao was most interested in female actresses, but now she is most interested in Yinshan.

Guo Shao began to try to understand it, just as he treated all enemies.

After roughly flipping it, Zhang Yin didn't seem to write about the Japanese army in the dossier, probably because he didn't see it. Turning to the first page, it is not the "emperor" and important ministers guessed by Guo Shao, but "Shinto".

Zhang Yin wrote at the beginning that Buddhism is popular in Japan, and temples can be seen everywhere, but they also believe in Shinto, and most of the customs have the shadow of Shinto. There are many gods in Shinto, one is hundreds of thousands, the other is millions.

Guo Shao immediately pulled out the booklet on the cover of the bookcase in the corner of the Yuan with "Province of the East Island", lifted the brush and opened it, first wrote on the Shinto, and then wrote that there is no single Supreme God.

But soon his opinion changed slightly. There was the Supreme God called "Amaterasu Taishen", representing the sun, and the Emperor was the descendant of Amaterasu Taishen in the world and had no surname. Guo Shao suddenly understood the reason why the kings of Japan could not publicly declare ministers. This seemed to shake their belief value system.

After roughly reading Zhang Yin's description of Shinto, Guo Shao recorded his personal views and understanding.

Guo Shao believes that compared with Buddhism, Shinto is very limited and imperfect, especially lacks the core content of philosophy universality, rubbing Confucianism, Taoism, legend, history and many other contents. Therefore, from the perspective of religion, Guo Shao thinks it is a relatively bad religion. Because it is too local, it is difficult to be narrow-minded like Buddhism and Da Shijiao.

However, Guo Shao believes that Buddhism is the essence of negative life, while Shinto is different. The Amaterasu Taishen plays a certain role in consolidating the human heart.

When he saw the "Gouyu" pattern, Guo Shao's thoughts became stronger. According to Zhang Yin's description, this kind of gou jade is also found in the ancient tombs of the Middle-earth, and it should be something that was learned in Japan. But up to now, it is rare to see jade in this shape in the Central Plains, Guo Shao has never seen it; and in Shinto, Gouyu is an ornament on the body of Amaterasu.

Signs, symbols, these are things that can deepen the identity of the race and produce a unique culture.

…Following the descriptions of "own family" and "leader" also let Guo Shao understand part of the social structure of Japan. Both the leader and the family are landowners and can be called landlords; the leader entrusts his own land to his family for protection. Roughly: the family is a big landlord, and the leader is a small and medium landlord. There are also the Zhuangtian forms of the royal family, temples, and public officials.

Guo Shao felt that his country was more like a feudal system, and now the Central Plains dynasty is called the feudal era in later generations. In fact, it is centralized and has no enfeoffment.

However, the current feudal system in Japan is very delicate. The lords did not actually control the land. Many of them lived in Ping An Jing and enjoyed the prosperity and wealth because of the worship of Zhuang Tian; the nobles who were separated from the actual grassroots power, thus created the cultural prosperity of Ping An Jing.

The management and protection of Zhuang Tian are in the hands of other people, the Zhuang official and the warrior chief.

Guo Shao suddenly felt that if there is no external interference in Japan, their problem is not "the dictatorship of foreign relatives and the surrender of power". It is precisely the following villagers and warriors who actually manage the local countryside. The soil of the warlords has formed.

...Guo Shao watched all morning unknowingly, and when the noon drum rang, he recovered.

But at this time, I was reading the place where he was very interested, the poems of the most admired beauty singer in the country. Guo Shao casually said to the **** Cao Tai who was standing by: "Read it to me."

Cao Tai hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the dossier, followed where Guo Shao pointed, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "The former Buddha has left, but the latter has not yet arrived. Born in dreams, which is reality. My body is the water that tempts duckweed, my body tempts duckweed, but duckweed does not come, mourning. The dew-stemmed stalks of Lespedeza spp., only fallen and scattered, can't compare to my body drifting..."

Guo Shao paced and listened carefully. He heard a "pouch" and turned his head to see that Zuo You and others were flushed and smiling.

Guo Shao said in amazement: "What's so funny."

Zuo You hurriedly said: "Poetry is not funny, but it is funny to read it by the middle official shaking his head and shaking his head."

Guo Shao turned his head to look at Cao Tai's appearance, and Cao Tai stood there with an innocent look.

The assistant minister Huang Binglian said: "The minister feels the poems of the East Island, the lavish voice, the sorrow and the groaning without illness."

Cao Tai paused, standing there embarrassed, but the ministers said it was not good, but the emperor did not say. He continued to recite a few songs, all of them chanting cherry blossoms. They were very beautiful and short-lived.

The ministers obviously disliked this style and criticized it.

But Guo Shao doesn't think so, he thinks it's just cultural aesthetics. Make it clear why, perhaps it is the mountainous forest and rainy geographic climate. Anyway, he feels that Dongdao regards sadness as beauty.

Guo Shao rubbed his forehead, no matter how much, he was ready to have lunch before he was full. He pointed to the file on the table and said, "Order three copies, one for each of the Privy Council, Political Affairs Hall, and Cabinet."

Cao Tai hurriedly said, "The slave and maid complies with the order."

Some civil servants in the imperial court believed that such things as law and etiquette could not be compromised, and they advocated offensive and punishment. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with saying so. However, decision-makers such as Guo Shao and Wang Pu cannot be rash. They will understand the inferences and formulate strategies.

The emperor left the study, and several ministers also went to the dining room to eat. Most of the officials in the capital ate in the government office and did not go home at noon. When someone casually mentioned the emperor’s attitude towards Dong Dao, Ludoxen only said softly: “There is a booklet on the royal case. I accidentally saw it when I sent the memorial. The name is ‘Eastern Dao’s Simplified Affairs’.”

After hearing this, the other three people suddenly looked stunned, and stopped talking about it~www.readwn.com~ Zuo You looked at Ludoxun with a mocking expression: "That Japanese song is really not good for the **** to sing."

Lu Duoxun didn't know what he meant, and asked in doubt: "Would you like to invite a singer to sing?"

Zuo You smiled and shook his head: "If Shi Lang Lu gets another Dongdao girl, wouldn't it be great?"

Zan Jurun and the others immediately looked sideways, and realized that Zuo You was teasing Lu Duoxun for making up for the marriage of Concubine Li Xian.

Ludoxun blushed after hearing this, and it seemed to be flattering to do such things, after all, it was not very glorious. He argued strongly: "If it's good for the country, why bother to stick to the small?"

He went to dinner with three other ministers, and while walking, he divorced the subject and said: "The country is a tribute in the name of the Minister of Responsibility, and it is also regarded as official contacts. But they just talked about it, I don't know why. Tribute comes from time to time. The court can't send envoys to urge it right away?"

A few people nodded in agreement, "No more people can be sent there. The etiquette is not justified."
