Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 335 The request of the Japanese mission

This year's Shangyuan Festival envoys from various countries came to Beijing, Xiao Rui and Tang Shanshi from Honglu Temple received them according to the usual practice, but it happened that a group of little dwarfs would not leave, arguing, arguing, insisting See the emperor alone.

In desperation, Xiao Rui had no choice but to submit a report to the Ministry of Education, but the emperor was so busy all day that he had time to grind his teeth with them, so he transferred this chapter to the East Palace.

When Xiao Rui arrived at the East Palace with the little dwarf's principal and deputy envoys, Li Chengqian was giving a lecture to Di Renjie on the topic of "Civilian Officials Think Twice".

"To be a civil servant, you must pay attention to thinking twice. What is thinking twice? Thinking twice means thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, and thinking about change. If you know the danger, you can avoid it. It's called Situ.

Once you step back, you will have a chance, look slowly, think slowly, where did you go wrong in the past, and what should you do in the future, this is called thinking about change.All through the ages, as long as the courtiers can do this, they will all be praised all over the body, and they will retire after success. "

"However, it is said in the book that as a minister, one should learn from Longfeng and Bigan, and face the king's mistakes directly, without adding ax and ax to one's body. This is beneficial to the king and the people. Why do you have to be wise and protect yourself when you are a teacher? , wouldn’t it be a speculator to do something like this.”

Di Renjie tilted his head and asked his own question, why did what the teacher said today differ from what the scholars of the Chongwen Museum said.

"A king has a good man, and a minister has a loyal traitor. Taking the Sui Dynasty as an example, Yang Jian and Yang Guang are two completely different types of people. The same courtiers under their command will have different political achievements and different approaches to affairs.

It's the same as being a person or being an official. Admonitions and statements are all about rules. Those in the books are all pedantic words. You have to learn to use what you have learned when you read books. This has nothing to do with speculation. "

Even though Di Renjie is a young kid, his mentality is not inferior to that of ordinary people.When talking to him, you won't feel the generation gap at all, that's why Li Chengqian changed the teaching time from half an hour a day to an hour a day. .
After the lecture was finished, Li Chengqian waved to Xiao Rui and the others, indicating that the two envoys from the Japanese country could present their affairs.Those who can serve as envoys of a country are all top talents in each country, so Li Chengqian never underestimates them.

"Foreign ministers Saburo Inoue and Junichi Watanabe, please refer to the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is blessed and safe." During the conversation, the two respectfully saluted Li Chengqian according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty.

"Is the issue of the title of the national book settled?" Li Chengqian looked at the two kneeling on the ground with a serious face. If it wasn't so scruples that it would be ominous to kill the envoy, the Japanese envoy would have been buried in the ground to fertilize.

Look at the credential they wrote, it's like a foot wrap, they don't even understand what they are doing, so why come to Datang?

It turned out that the Japanese diplomatic mission had been sent to China in the former Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered a luxurious and extravagant feast to welcome the messengers to show the extraordinaryness of the great country. Unexpectedly, because of this letter of credence, This angered Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

The beginning of his letter of credence to Yang Guang reads: "The Son of Heaven at Sunrise Respects the Son of Heaven at Nowhere in the Day", which means "the emperor of the country where the sun rises greets the emperor of the country where the sun goes down".

The Wa State adopted the position that the Sui Emperor and the Sui Emperor were both emperors and were equal to each other. This made Sui Yang Emperor very displeased when he heard this. Don't play to me again!Because on the spot: the Japanese envoy responded immediately and said: the Japanese do not know Chinese, and the words do not express their meaning, please forgive me, and then it will be done.

Later, in the national book written in Chinese characters by the Japanese state, the reference to "the emperor at the sunrise" was no longer used, but it was renamed: "The emperor of the east respects the emperor of the west".

Yang Guangji doesn't care about the title of Emperor, Li Chengqian doesn't care, but since they are worshiping the Tang Dynasty now, they have to abide by the rules of the Tang Dynasty.In the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was called the son of heaven. According to them, the prince himself has become a grandson, so Li Chengqian rejected their credentials at the beginning.But who knows, this group of guys still insisted on not leaving, and they returned to their own hands after a circle.

"Back to Your Highness the Crown Prince, this appellation is all due to a typo by the foreign ministers and others. The foreign ministers and others have already changed it. I am here to invite His Highness to read it today." After speaking, he took out a notebook from his sleeve and held it up. overhead.

After a while, Li Chengqian leaned on the national letter with his hand, and said calmly: "Tell me, what exactly do you want to send you here this time?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, the purpose of my king's sending ministers to China this time is two-fold. I ask the Heavenly Dynasty to grant our country's request in view of our close relationship.

First, the country of Wa is a barren land and urgently needs the teaching of the way of saints. Please allow my country to send students to Guozijian and Cangwen Academy to learn various classics and skills.

Second, the sea is ruthless, and there are frequent storms, resulting in the loss of people and goods. Please grant one or two small islands along the southeast coast for drying and turnover of goods. ", making Inoue Saburo answer Li Chengqian's question in blunt Chinese.

Hehehe... After hearing Saburo Inoue's statement, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing, this is really a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken.study?Will you come back and beat us after you learn it?Don't you really know what kind of roots you are?

"Guozhijian and Cangwen Academy are definitely not acceptable. They are the places where our Tang Dynasty trains officials and scholars. Fanbang students are not allowed to go there. However, since you yearn for the way of saints, it is naturally not a problem. Send a few scholars to teach you the Four Books and Five Classics individually."

"His Royal Highness, didn't your Tang Dynasty advocate education without discrimination? Why do you despise foreign students so much? My country of Wa sincerely worships the heavenly dynasty. Please, His Royal Highness, take pity on the people of the country of Wa!" As soon as the words fell, Saburo and Inoue He kowtowed his head.

"Okay, His Royal Highness's imperial edict will not be changed. Are you using the common people to coerce His Highness, are you trying to trap His Highness for injustice?"

Xiao Rui scolded the two of them loudly, shameless, and said that I will find a teacher for you to teach alone.

The two of them were attracted by themselves. Now that they talk like this, they are giving themselves eye drops.Therefore, Xiao Rui, who originally looked down upon them, became even more angry seeing them now.

Regardless of the principal and deputy envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Xiao Rui, Li Chengqian touched Di Renjie's small head, and asked with a smile: "Renjie, tell the teacher, what do you think of the Wa Kingdom's claim for the island?"

After pondering for a while, Di Renjie replied sternly: "The territory of the Tang Dynasty was obtained by our ancestors from the mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. There is not a single piece of land that is superfluous. If anyone wants it, they can only take it with swords. "

Hahaha. Well, as expected of Lao Tzu's student, Li Chengqian opened the box in the upper left corner of the case, took out a writing brush and handed it to Di Renjie's little hand.

"The pen holder of this pen is made of rhino horns that were tributed by Fanbang at the end of Wude. After that, there have been no such big rhino horns. The pen cover is very ordinary, carved from Lantian jade, just for lip service. The rare thing is this pen. In the first year of Zhenguan, the Dudu Mansion in Kunzhou was set up with the tail of a red weasel.

Many people read it and said that this is a rare one even in a thousand years.Little guy, the teacher gave you this pen, hoping to use it to write the world. When you can't write anymore in the future, you can pass it on from generation to generation. "

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian's smiling face suddenly fell down: "Did you hear that, my boy from the Tang Dynasty has such bloody courage, don't you dare to fight you alone as the prince of the state and the commander of the army? Get out, Uninteresting stuff."
