Chapter 482 Lin Xuan is a good person
Li Shimin looked at Jin Benyang and said lightly: "You have also seen that so many ministers object to sending Tang envoys to study in Datang, forget it."
Jin Benyang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I Fusang is very respectful to the Tang Dynasty and pays tribute every year. If the Tang Dynasty refuses to agree to such a trivial matter, I am afraid that some countries will be disappointed."
Li Shimin's face turned cold: "Are you threatening me?"
Seeing the killing intent in Li Shimin's eyes, Jin Benyang shuddered and said, "Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty misunderstood, and the foreign minister didn't mean it."
"It's fine if you don't have one. As for your saying that you pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year, you are more respectful and respectful. I agree with this, but I don't think I have treated you badly. Every time you pay tribute, the rewards I give you are several of you. Times." Li Shimin said lightly.
"Yes, yes, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is right." Tsumoto Yang nodded repeatedly.
He felt that if he talked about anything else, he might not be able to go back.
Lin Xuan came out and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that since Fusang admires Tang culture so much, they should be given a chance to learn."
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, not knowing what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd.
Lin Xuan was the one who opposed Fusang's sending Tang envoys to study in Datang the most.
Why now Lin Xuan said that he would give them a chance.
Jin Benyang was also a little confused, could it be that the gift he gave Lin Xuan worked?
Thinking of this, Jin Benyang looked at Lin Xuan kindly.
The ministers he bribed all took money and did nothing, Lin Xuan was still kind.
In Jin Benyang's heart, Lin Xuan is a very good person.
"Your Majesty, Fusang people and Datang people have different living habits. If they study in Datang, conflicts like before may happen again. I think it's better to give them some books. In this way, Fusang has the opportunity to learn the culture of Datang, and also Differences in living habits will not affect the relationship between the two countries," Lin Xuan said.
When Jin Benyang heard Lin Xuan's words, he was slightly taken aback.
But I quickly realized that it would be better to bring the books back than nothing at all.
"Oh?"
Li Shimin seemed to understand Lin Xuan's intention, and asked, "Then tell me which books should be given to them?"
"Of course it is the Four Books and Five Classics. Fusang admires the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and the Four Books and Five Classics are treasures that have been passed down for thousands of years in the Central Plains, and they best represent the Tang culture. In addition, you can also send some Buddhist classics." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Don't you admire culture?
Well, let me give you some Four Books and Five Classics and Buddhist scriptures, and slowly admire them.
It seems that Fusang Buddhism was passed down during the Tang Dynasty.
This can be regarded as adding believers to Buddhism.
Lin Xuan felt that if there really was a Buddha or something, at least he should be named a Bodhisattva or something.
Gah!
Jin Benyang was dumbfounded, he wanted the Four Books, Five Classics and Buddhist scriptures to be useless.
If he really wanted it, he wouldn't buy it himself.
What he wants are all kinds of craftsmanship from Datang.
"You are right. This matter has been handed over to the Ministry of Rites. In Fusang's reward, [-] copies of the Four Books and Five Classics will be added. All kinds of Buddhist scriptures will be provided by the major temples. Try to give as much as possible. Don't make people in the world think that I You are stingy." Li Shimin said very generously.
Jin Benyang said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Fusang needs medical classics and books recording various crafts. I hope that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can reward some of these books."
You can buy the Four Books, Five Classics and Buddhist scriptures.
And books about various crafts, even if you have money, you can't buy them.
Ordinary people are illiterate, and printing such books cannot be sold at all.
Therefore, only the government and aristocratic families have collections of such books.
"Your Majesty, these are cheap jobs. If Your Majesty rewards Fusang with these books, others will think that His Majesty deliberately humiliated Fusang." Lin Xuan acted as if I was thinking about Fusang.
Later generations commented on the dispatch of Fusang envoys, saying that it was an unprecedented grand event in the history of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges.The envoys sent to Tang Dynasty made great contributions to promoting the development of Fusang society and promoting friendly exchanges between China and Japan.
Lin Xuan felt that this was nonsense. Fusang in the early Tang Dynasty, what did you mean by learning from Datang?
Fusang at this time has not even fully formed the characters, and even their kimonos imitate the service of the Tang Dynasty.
It is said to be imitation, but in fact, no major changes have been made at all, and it is fine to call it plagiarism.
Even their tatami mats and sashimi are learned from Datang.
Datang's influence on Fusang can be said to be various.
There is a saying in later generations that if you want to see the culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties, go to Fusang.
Just like these two countries, what do you think is good for communication?
Li Shimin said with deep approval: "That's right, those are cheap jobs. How can I reward Fusang with books about cheap jobs? There is no need to mention this matter."
Jin Benyang was about to cry, but he didn't feel that Lin Xuan was targeting him.
He has been in Datang for so long, and he knows a little about Datang.
The class of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce is very serious. No matter how you look at it, Lin Xuan said that out of good intentions.
After Li Shimin said this, Jin Benyang didn't know what to say, so he could only retreat with an ugly face.
He can't say that our Fusang's admiration for the Tang culture is just a cover, and what we really want is your technology.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, my Lord of Tubo admires the Tang Dynasty very much, and I want to ask to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty. Please agree with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." The Tubo envoy came out and said.
Regarding Tubo's marriage proposal, Lin Xuan didn't stand up and say anything, since it was a marriage proposal, why didn't Tubo marry the princess over?
In the nearly 2000 years from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there was a kind of political marriage called "heqin", which ran through the development process of this period of history; usually the Central Plains dynasty sent a princess to marry another country to calm down The war between the two countries turned to working together towards a peaceful and friendly relationship.
Although a princess was sacrificed, in exchange for the long-term peace between the two countries, it is very cost-effective in the eyes of the ruler.
But there is a question worth noting: why are the princesses sent by the Central Plains dynasty, why didn't they marry the princesses of the nomads?
Is it true that the ancient emperors and ministers were fools, don't you understand?
There is a question of seniority involved.
The Central Plains Dynasty married a princess in the past, and the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty were those old father-in-laws of other races.
But marrying a princess of a different race, whether it is the emperor or the prince, is unacceptable to the emperor.
The emperor married, so he was a generation shorter.
When the prince marries, the other party is equal to the emperor.
This is unacceptable for the ancient dynasty that regarded itself as the kingdom of heaven.
In fact, the Central Plains dynasty married princesses from other countries. For example, Gao Huan, Emperor Shenwu of the Northern Qi Dynasty, married a princess from Rouran through a political marriage in order to relieve the pressure of enemies on both sides. Although Gao Huan relieved part of the hostile pressure, But this marriage made him suffer.
In the beginning, Gao Huan sent people to Rouran to ask for marriage for his son Gao Cheng, but King Rouran believed that Gao Huan was the king of Bohai at that time, and his son was just a small heir, and he was not in the right family, so he strongly demanded that Gao Huan be the king of Bohai at that time. Gao Huan married his daughter himself. Seeing that King Rouran had a tough attitude, Gao Huan had no choice but to agree.
However, King Rouran also sent a "supervisor", his younger brother Tutujia, whose only task was to urge Gao Huan to have an heir with Princess Rouran; Princess Rouran is also a very boring person who does not understand Chinese, so the princess has never been able to conceive a child; at this time, Tutujia became very anxious. He went to the palace every day, urging Gao Huan to pamper the princess quickly, but Gao Huan He had to be carried to the residence of Princess Rouran to serve him. Two years later, when Gao Huan died of illness, the princess was still unable to conceive. In the end, Gao Cheng inherited Princess Rouran and gave birth to a son. Daughter, I asked Tu Tujia to take her back for a errand; this "bloody, wonderful" experience, presumably the ruler of the Central Plains Dynasty, would never want to go through it again.
In those novels, the protagonist said why he made a marriage, not that the other party sent the woman over, such remarks are simply nonsense.
Of course, there are many women of different races in the harem of ancient emperors.
But those women are paying tribute, not marriage.
