Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

In fact, when she was in Zichen Palace just now, she wanted to ask, but she knew that her father and the prince's elder brother were discussing important matters, so she couldn't interrupt.

"Brother Prince, isn't it just a literary meeting? Why do you and your father pay so much attention to it?"

"This is not a simple literary meeting"

Li Chengqian thought about how to explain clearly to Baling and Changle.

Seeing what the father means, he intends to allow the two princesses to intervene in political affairs.

It seems a bit inappropriate to say it is a 'political matter'.

Both the emperor and the crown prince were in their prime in spring and autumn, and the female family members of the royal family, logically, would not be able to intervene in any important affairs of the country.

But they also know that this literary meeting has an inescapable relationship with the Wa country.

Although it is a matter of state, it is really not a priority.

"Do you know that this essay meeting was proposed by Gao Xiangxuan?"

Chang Le shook her head, she is the most idle person in this circle.

Going to the Stock Affairs Bureau every month, there is basically nothing else to do.

Otherwise, he wouldn't drag Baling around all day long.

Moreover, apart from the stock affairs bureau, she is not very interested in other things.

Princess Baling nodded.

"I heard from my father-in-law that Gao Xiangxuanli is an envoy of the Japanese kingdom, and he is the personal attendant of the big brother Shanbei. The purpose of holding this literary meeting is to find some teachers for their envoys to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengqian was quite surprised.

"It seems that these days, Baling is not uncommon in the world."

Baling lowered his head in embarrassment.

"I am in charge of the affairs of the Chai family. Last time Gao Xiangxuan sent a name card to my father-in-law, I just saw it."

Li Chengqian felt a little overheated.

Then I stood up and turned the lid on the stove a little smaller.

"Big Brother Shanbei, who is loyal to Xuanli, and Emperor Shumei, who is loyal to Yujing Hosokawa, are natural enemies. They are still vying for the position of the lord of the Wa Kingdom, and they also put their treasures in my Tang Dynasty. above!"

Li Chengqian planned to break apart the situation in Wa Kingdom and explain it thoroughly to the two princesses.

Since the father intends to let them intervene in the affairs of the Wa country.

Naturally, you have to do your best.

"They are all smart people. They know that if they ask Datang for military help, they will be the ones who will be unlucky. Everyone knows that once our people go, that place will completely become our Jiji Prefecture. Therefore, they What you want is culture!"

"culture?"

This term is very new to Changle and Baling.

Li Chengqian nodded.

"Yes, what they want is culture. The so-called culture is not limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, but involves all aspects, everything that can open up the wisdom of the Japanese people as much as possible, and even various technologies and methods!"

Chang Le frowned and said, "How can I let them learn from my Tang culture?"

Baling thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I can't stop it."

Li Chengqian glanced at Baling approvingly.

"Ba Ling is right. If the imperial court orders it, it will only be counterproductive. The Wa people look like us. Just find a greedy magistrate, open an account, change their name, and no one will doubt their identity. When the time comes, read After a few years of study, it is not difficult to become a famous teacher."

"It's like preventing and controlling floods. Simple blocking will not have any effect. Blocking is worse than dredging. Since we can't block it, it is better to give it to them generously. However, what to send is what we say." Forget it!"

Chang Le seemed to have figured out something, and was taken aback!

"Could it be that Father means to send Mr. Kong and Mr. Yu to Japan?!"

Li Chengqian sneered and said, "How is that possible? Although Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining are a bit stubborn, they are the great Confucian scholars of our dynasty and can be called the treasures of the country. Even if we send them away, we must send them some disasters! The purpose is obvious.”

Chapter 1200 This is no different from money falling from the sky

Dai Zhou and Tang Jian originally wanted to set the time for the Wenhui after the Chinese New Year.

But many great Confucian scholars, as well as ministers in the court, wanted to participate. They all went back to their hometowns for the New Year, and they would definitely not be able to make it back.

Under pressure, Dai Zhou and Tang Jian postponed the time to February.

But by the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, most people rushed back to Chang'an.

They couldn't wait to participate in the literary meeting, and forced Dai Zhou and Tang Jian to postpone the time.

Every time the time is changed, Dai Zhou and Tang Jian have to re-send invitations to those who participated in the literary meeting.

At worst, they are people from famous towns. Of course, the invitations must be handwritten by yourself.

For example, Lu Deming, if he was given an invitation letter written by a subordinate, he would probably be thrown out.

Similarly, a great Confucian like this must come to invite him in person!

During this period of time after the year, Dai Zhou and Tang Jian were really exhausted.

Of course, there is always someone more tired than the two of them.

That is Gao Xiang Xuanli!

For Japan, the importance of this literary meeting is self-evident.

What Gao Xiangxuanli really wanted was not to watch a literary event.

Instead, I want to take this opportunity to get in touch with the famous Confucianists of the Tang Dynasty, and look for opportunities to let the Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty come to study under them.

If you can find a few great Confucianists and go to Japan to educate the people in person, that would be the best.

This is not impossible!

Confucianism is the most emphasis on enlightenment. Although the cultural popularity of the common people in the Tang Dynasty is not high, it depends on the situation.

In fact, factions among scholars are similar to gangs.

A very simple example.

For example, Wang Ji was from Longmen in Hedong and lived in Luoyang for generations.

If anyone wants to open a hut to teach and educate their children in these two places, they must first obtain Wang Ji's consent.

Otherwise, it will be regarded as smashing the field

The serious situation of territorialization has left great Confucian scholars from all sides with knowledge, but they can't find a suitable foundation.

And the country of Wa is just a piece of 'pure land'!

The achievement pursued by Confucianism is to turn ignorance into knowledge.

This is why they have always opposed war.

There are always people who think that through enlightenment, the "kingly way" of the Central Plains can be spread to the whole world.

Moreover, the war is indirectly eliminated in the invisible.

From this point of view, Wa country has a strong attraction for them.

When Gao Xiangxuan was in the former Sui Dynasty, he lived in Datang.

He couldn't be more aware of this.

Until the day of the Wenhui, before it was finalized, Gao Xiangxuan had been wandering among the wealthy families of all parties.

The money was sent out like running water, and I begged the famous and high-ranking scholars to say a few good words for the Wa country.

The thirteenth day of the first lunar month!

Gao Xiangxuanli left Dai Zhou's house in Chongrenfang.

Dai Zhou's heir, Dai Zhide, personally sent Gao Xiangxuanli out of Santiao Street.

For the Dai family, Gao Xiangxuanli is simply the God of Wealth!

After returning home, Dai Zhide was a little speechless when he saw his father pouring out gold and silver treasures from the box.

"Father, you are not afraid of those censors who will write to impeach you?"

Dai Zhou stood up straight, hammered his waist, and said, "Impeach the old man for what? Accepting bribes?"

Dai Zhide touched his face and laughed a few times, not embarrassed to say what was in his heart.

In terms of charges, accepting money from foreign ministers is much more serious than accepting bribes

"If you have time to think about it, why not help Weifu move these things to the warehouse."

Dai Zhide could only step forward to help.

Just as he vacated the box, looking at the gold and silver treasures all over the floor, Dai Zhide didn't know which one to start with.

At this moment, the old butler suddenly ran over.

"Master, Fang Xiang and Du Xiang are here!"

Dai Zhou smiled and said, "Please come in quickly!"

Dai Zhide's face changed suddenly.

"father!"

Pointing to the gold and silver treasures all over the floor, he said, "If the house minister knows about it..."

Dai Zhou interrupted him, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay."

After finishing speaking, he rushed outside and shouted: "Serve tea!"

Then, he added: "Good tea!"

Dai Zhide's face turned pale with fright.

He felt that his father must be crazy

Soon, Fang Xuanling and others entered the door.

If you are not in the officialdom, you don't have to pay so much attention to the rules.

They are all old friends, there is no need to go outside to greet them.

"Xuan Yin, I heard that you have become rich recently!"

Holding a gift box, Fang Xuanling stepped across the threshold laughing loudly.

Du Ruhui, Yu Shinan, and Gao Shilian followed behind.

Xiao Yu didn't come.

Among the five big shots, only he stayed in Chang'an.

In the past few days, he has seen Dai Zhou more times than Dai Zhou's wife.

Dai Zhide saluted the big brothers tremblingly, his mind was about to explode.

Thinking about it, I found a suitable excuse to cover up the gold, silver and treasures all over the floor.

But Dai Zhou's reply almost scared Dai Zhide to death.

With a smile on his face, Dai Zhou cupped his hands at Fang Xuanling and the others.

"Happy together!"

He gently pushed Dai Zhide who was in a daze.

"Go to the cook at home, make some tea and send it!"

Dai Zhide walked out in a daze.

Dai Zhou looked at the gold and silver treasures all over the floor, and said with a smile, "Dai will accept these things with a smile."

Gao Shilian picked up a small wooden box from the ground.

When I opened it, I saw a pair of jade bracelets.

He shoved it directly into his arms without hesitation.

"There are a lot of good things in the Wa country, but it's a pity that the old man and others have returned to their hometown and missed these treasures."
