Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 6

"Emperor Ren had a talent when he was young. He read the Book of Songs at the age of three, and mastered poetry at the age of five. There were vassal kings who met in pilgrimage. They took poems as a test to compare with hundreds of officials. No one could answer. Emperor Ren heard it and learned it easily. He convinced the foreigners. Envoys, shocked the government and the public." - "Old Tang Book - Volume [-] Renzong Benji"

……

The little black bear looked surprised at Changsheng, thinking that he didn't know where this place was, and enthusiastically explained: "Don't be afraid, this is the place where the emperor's grandfather met with the high officials."

Isn't that the upright Hall of Supreme Harmony?

Chang Sheng asked cautiously, "Then why are we here?"

The little guy said excitedly: "I heard that foreigners came here to kowtow today, don't you want to see it? Last time, there were a few black charcoal-like ones, and they performed a lot of tricks! It's interesting!"

"By the way, my name is Yang Zhao. They all call me Zhao'er. What's your name?"

"My name is Changsheng. Oh, slow down..."

Yang Zhao grabbed Chang Sheng and dragged her into the hall.

Originally thought that he was about to face the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but found out that it was the back door.

There is a large screen to pass through the door to the top of the main hall.

The two were about to rush in, but an old eunuch ran out of nowhere, and when he saw the two, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey, His Royal Highness, my lord, why are you here again?"

"Eunuch Zhu, I want to go in and find the emperor's grandfather!" As he said that, he was about to rush in.

The father-in-law hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "It's not going to happen today, the Japanese foreign envoys have an audience, and the emperor is angry right now.".

"Where? Pumpkins? Pumpkins have also become fine?!" Zhao Huangsun was excited when he heard the novelty.

"Oh, you should spare this old slave. The emperor is angry. If you go in, not only will this old slave be punished and the emperor will be unhappy, but you will also be fined and confinement." Eunuch Zhu continued to persuade with a bitter face. .

Hearing the word "confinement", Yang Zhao's muscle memory was triggered, and he calmed down instantly.

But Ren stayed where he was, and left when he didn't want to, and when he rolled his eyes, he thought about it.

"If we don't go in, we'll take a sneak peek from behind. I promise not to cause trouble."

Eunuch Zhu knew this young master's temperament, and he might not give up if he didn't let him take a look, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, you follow me, don't make a sound! Just take a look and come out."

Zhao Huangsun immediately became happy, took Chang Sheng's hand, came to the side of the screen, and looked out through the gap.

Seeing Emperor Wen of Sui throwing a memorial to the ground, he cursed angrily: "Lu Aiqing, from now on, you should have a look at this barbarian credential before presenting it to me. What nonsense are you talking about!"

One person hurriedly ran out from the ranks of civil servants, it was Lu Aiqing whom the emperor spoke of, Lu Ming, Minister of Honglu Temple.

Lu Ming was shocked when he read the excerpts and said: "Your Majesty, there are such disrespectful words in the national book of the Japanese country. If I didn't realize it in advance, I will die!"

Gao Ying, Zuo Shangshu at the side, took a look at the letter of credence, and frowned, "Your Majesty, this Wa country is a small country, and it has always been subject to our country. Now this letter of credence above dares to call itself the 'Land of the Rising Sun', But to call me the 'Nation of Sunset' is clearly disrespectful, which is disrespectful!"

On the dragon chair, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty asked the Japanese envoy: "Foreign envoy, what is the purpose of the emperor of your country writing this letter to me?"

"His Majesty the Sui Emperor, our country's sage Prince Shotoku is not disrespectful to you. It's just that our country is located in the east and your country is located in the west. Of course the sun rises from us and sets from your side. This is The law of heaven is not lying, I hope His Majesty will make a clear judgment!"

As soon as the man opened his mouth, Chang Sheng saw a dwarf-looking little man kneeling under the stage.

This person's clothes and accent are the same as those of Han people, but his stature is really short, and he only reached Gao Shangshu's knees when he knelt there.

……

"Hmph, eloquent and eloquent, how dare you call yourself the 'Land of the Rising Sun' and the Son of Heaven? How dare you call yourself the 'Land of the Rising Sun' and the Son of Heaven? You're so arrogant and arrogant!" Lu Ming, who was still lying on the ground, got up and cursed.

The envoy of the Japanese country didn't take it seriously, and said proudly: "The emperor Shengde is the No. 30 grandson of the sun goddess. He has supreme wisdom. Under his wise leadership, our country's national power is booming, and now it has far surpassed other neighboring countries. It’s not the same thing.”

Crown Prince Yang Guang came out with his fists clasped, and said in a clear voice: "A mere small country dares to utter wild words. Are you planning to rebel? Father! Give my son three thousand elite soldiers, and my son promises: within three months, I will get what I have done for nothing!" When Shengde catches you back, I will kowtow to you to admit your mistake!".

"Hmph, what is the style of a big country to bully the small by the big? Is this how the Celestial Kingdom, which claims to be a 'state of etiquette', behaves like this?"

"You..." Yang Guang was so excited by his words that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"This little devil has some courage." Chang Sheng praised in his heart.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty pondered for a moment and said: "Our country has always loved peace, so naturally it will not resort to war. But since ancient times, the monarch and his ministers are subordinate, and it is necessary to distinguish who is in charge and who is in charge."

The envoy of the Japanese country stood up and saluted: "The priority depends on the ability. Emperor Shengde has read poetry and books since he was a child. He heard that the current poetry and songs originated in China. Not long ago, I occasionally felt something. I came up with a question to ask you adults. .”

There was silence in the hall at first, followed by roars of laughter.

It’s nothing more than what you said. Poems, books, songs and Fu are things handed down from our ancestors. The Chinese say that they are second, and no one dares to say that they are number one.Besides, most of the civil servants in the hall make a living by this, and some of them have studied it for most of their lives. You ask, isn't this a way to kill yourself by hitting a stone with an egg?
Lu Ming was the first to volunteer. He is good at poetry and poetry, and he is eager to make contributions at this moment, so he hurriedly said: "What's the problem, you can tell me."

The Japanese envoy said with a smile: "Lord Lu, don't worry, this question is eternal, I bet all the adults here will not be able to answer it."

Lu Ming: "Zhuzi, you really know how to brag, if you think of any pair, you dare to call it absolute!"

The Japanese envoy stepped forward and said: "There is no evidence for what you say, sir, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Lu Ming: "What bet?"

The Japanese envoy said, "If anyone in the court can answer this question, our country will pay tribute every year and become a minister every year. If you can't answer it, then from now on, our country will stop all annual tributes to your country!"

"Hiss", as soon as this remark came out, I saw it with a poor dagger.

It turns out that the drunken man's intention is not to drink, but now all civil and military officials have become serious, and they have put hundreds of thousands of old coins into notes every year. If the boat capsizes in the gutter, it will be a sinner through the ages.

Everyone understands the powerful relationship here, and the officials who were eager to try all retreated for a while.

Just when everyone was about to deal with this matter coldly, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty committed the old problem of saving face again, and said confidently: "Poems, songs and Fu, you are so clever, you come up with a question!"
