If there is a difference, it is simply that the order of their demise is different. It may be that Goguryeo was first, Silla was second, and Baekje was last. It may also be other orders, but the results will not change.
In other words, no one can change the emperor's decision.
Although no one in the court mentioned the attack on Goguryeo, in fact, the ministers all knew that with the temperament of the current emperor, he would never let go of Nanshan. Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje were just grasshoppers after the autumn.
, it won’t last long.
Yang Gongren said: "Your Majesty, I think that the Silla delegation came here to request the canonization of our court. This time Silla has a woman succeeding to the throne, what should we do?"
Li Zhiyun thought for a while and said: "Since it is their internal decision, we don't have to change anything. If this is really the request, we can confer it as usual."
"As commanded."
At present, the Tang Dynasty is beyond its reach to Silla. Instead of intervening in Silla's internal affairs, it is better to let them fight internally. Whether there are powerful officials within them to usurp the throne, it is of no concern to the Tang Dynasty.
Because there is no big difference between one less Silla and one more Silla for the Tang Dynasty to seize that land in the future.
Six days later, the Silla delegation entered Chang'an.
If we can say that seeing the people of Tang Dynasty living and working in peace and contentment and working diligently in farming on the road is just a drop in the ocean and a corner of the prosperity of this huge country in the Central Plains, then the prosperity of Chang'an is like a lotus flower on top, which made the three people in Changan and Chuan stunned.
Although they had never been on a mission to the Tang Dynasty in the past, they had somewhat imagined the imperial capital of the Central Plains Kingdom, but when they actually saw it, they were still shocked.
"This is Chang'an?" Jin Shengman quietly opened the corner of the car curtain and looked at the glamorous people from the Tang Dynasty, Hu people, and grassland people who were constantly coming and going. He was in a state of shock.
Compared with Chang'an, the Golden City of Silla is simply as different as heaven and earth, clouds and mud.
The neat and orderly roads, the clean and dust-free cityscape, and the prosperous and lively streets all told Jin Shengman that this might be the most prosperous place in the world.
"Is this Chang'an?" She suppressed the shock in her heart, and suddenly there was some expectation in her heart, expectation for the future.
The mission stayed at the guest house of Honglu Temple and was received by the officials of Honglu Temple.
After communicating with the officials of Honglu Temple, Anchuan requested to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and asked the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to confer the title of the new king of Silla.
Officials of Honglu Temple conveyed his request to the emperor.
guest house.
"I thought that when we came here, we would be received by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty immediately, but I didn't expect that we would have to wait." Jin Qinchun frowned.
In his opinion, Datang was indeed incredibly powerful, but Silla came to pay their respects to the dock. As the eldest brother, couldn't you meet them earlier?
Yanchuan comforted him and said: "Be at peace and don't be impatient. I just asked about it. Envoys from other foreign countries have to wait when they come here. Of course we are not exempt from the custom. You two don't have to feel insulted, because they are great ministers.
The Tang Dynasty was a kingdom in the Central Plains.
What's more, we haven't been made anything difficult, they just asked us to wait, so it's okay. By the way, you can take this opportunity to walk around Chang'an more. If you see any good places, we Silla can
When you study, you must write it down.
The country in the Central Plains has a strong military and an extraordinary culture. As long as we learn a little bit about it, we can prosper the country even better when we go back."
"yes."
At this moment, Jin Shengman suddenly walked in.
The three people quickly stood up and saluted.
"I'll go see it with you," she said.
Yan Chuan smiled bitterly and said: "Princess, please don't cause trouble. People in the Tang Dynasty value courtesy. If you go out and show your face and let the people of the Tang Dynasty know about it, what should we do?"
Hearing this, Jin Shengman's face darkened.
"I see."
Yan Chuan smiled and nodded, and said: "Princess, the most important thing you should do now is to learn the Central Plains dialect as soon as possible. In this way, you can better communicate with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future."
Jin Shengman nodded and immediately withdrew.
Jin Qinchun and Jin Chunqiu were silent, and then they left the guest house and walked in Chang'an.
The first place they want to go is naturally the most prosperous East and West Market.
On the way there, the two of them were really shocked. Because they passed by various people one after another, including Hu merchants from the Western Regions, people from the grasslands, and Kunlun slaves they had never seen before. It was a real eye-opener.
When we arrived at Dongshi, the bustling and prosperous atmosphere hit us.
Looking at the endless sea of people, Jin Chunqiu didn't know what to say. This kind of liveliness and prosperity could not be seen even on the most important festival in Silla.
Those people of the Tang Dynasty were all tall and strong, with a lot of money wrapped around their waists, and they walked with swords and swords. The jade pendants on their waists jingled, and they showed the air of a gentleman.
"This is the Tang Dynasty." Jin Chunqiu himself didn't realize it, but there was a deep sense of envy in his tone.
"Take a look, take a look, the latest version of the Chang'an Novel Newspaper, "The Heroes of the Late Sui Dynasty" has another volume, first come first served, limited quantity!"
"I want!"
"Have some!"
"Don't squeeze!"
"Straight bitch, don't step on my shoes!"
Woohoo!
The crowd crowded past crazily and gathered around the door of the bookstore.
"How could people from the Tang Dynasty be so studious?" Jin Chunqiu stared. He knew the Chinese characters and knew that the word "Study" was written on the plaque of the bookstore opposite.
Jin Qinchun bit his lip slightly, "Tang people are invincible!"
In Silla, the literacy rate was very low, and only a few nobles like them could learn Tang Dynasty writing.
But among the people of the Tang Dynasty, so many people could read.
How to play this?
Being literate means being able to read. Being able to read is equal to having knowledge and culture.
And to be cultured is to be talented.
There were so many talented people in the Tang Dynasty who helped the emperor govern the country.
What does Silla compare to?
There's no comparison at all.
Heaven is too far away, and the Tang Dynasty is too close.
The two of them walked forward with their entourage. What they saw on the road was eye-opening to them. Shops were lined up row after row. Along the way, they didn't see a shop setting up stalls everywhere. The various areas were divided in an orderly manner.
, there are also specially marked guide signs.
There are ‘Rouge and Gouache Street’, ‘Vegetables and Fresh Fruits Street’, ‘Wine and Food Street’, ‘Brush, Ink, Paper and Inkstone Street’, ‘Jewelry and Jade Street’, ‘Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting Street’, ‘Livestock Utensils Street’ and so on.
Well-organized and clear.
"It's incredible." Jin Chunqiu stood in the square in the east city center and said, "It's incredible. There are so many people and so many things, but the streets are clean and tidy. How on earth is this done?"
Along the way, he didn't even see anyone dumping filth anywhere.
In the markets of Silla, open urination and defecation are common, but here, it is simply impossibly clean.
The cement road is smooth and smooth, with very few dirty vegetable scraps.
How is this done?
He doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand.
There must be tens of thousands of people in this East Market, but why is the ground so clean?
"I asked, it should be the credit of that thing." Jin Qinchun pointed at the cylindrical thing not far away.
"What is that?" Jin Chunqiu asked.
"Trash can." Jin Qinchun replied, and then said: "According to the rules of the imperial court, if anyone is caught littering filthy things here, he will be sent to the official and fined. All filthy things must be thrown into the trash can. By the way,
People in the Tang Dynasty called filth "garbage". It is said that this was the definition when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was in charge of Chang'an before he ascended the throne.
In addition, there will be people responsible for handling the trash cans and cleaning the streets. The court will distribute money to compensate for the manpower consumed."
garbage can?
Jin Chunqiu walked to the iron tube and reached out to open the lid.
There were all kinds of garbage in the bucket, and the smell was extremely pungent, so he quickly closed the lid.
