It has to be said that among the foreigners now, the ones who are most in line with the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty are the Silla people.
Turks, people from the Western Regions, Tubo people, Japanese people, plus the descendants of the Fuyu people in Baekje, as well as some barbarians from the south, people from the Funan Kingdom, all have strange shapes, and they look like they are not the same race as the Han people in the Central Plains.
"The situation at sea is ever-changing, and you are also the lord of a country. People from Silla come here every year. If you want to send someone a message, why do you need to risk your life and come from afar?"
Could it be that if you don’t come, I won’t know Silla’s sincerity in attaching itself to the Tang Dynasty?”
Kinderman felt warm in her heart, and her previous anxiety and worries immediately dissipated a lot. Only then did she raise her head to look at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
This was an extremely burly man. She had seen many people from the Tang Dynasty before. Generally speaking, they were much taller and stronger than the people from Silla, but the man in front of her was still one of the best.
Even while sitting, you can see that he has a solid body, a calm face, and sharp eyes. His body is full of majesty, and he seems to have become one with this palace.
As unshakable as mountains, as unstoppable as flowing water.
Kinderman admired in his heart. It was exactly what his sister said. He was truly a noble and majestic person...
"Your Majesty, if I don't come to thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and I don't feel at ease, how can I show the sincerity of the small country of Silla?"
Her answers were quite clever, and she knew she was a very smart woman. Li Po liked to talk to smart people, especially the Queen of Silla, who had a temperament that was completely different from the women of the Tang Dynasty.
Well, in other words, foreign monks are always good at chanting sutras.
Moreover, with Jin Shengman's background, and Silla being the first vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it was only natural that it would receive preferential treatment.
In the big picture, Kinderman came at the right time.
The Tang Dynasty was about to go to war with Goguryeo. As a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, Silla was also the feud of Goguryeo. It was Silla's responsibility to send troops to participate in the war and supply food and grass to the Tang Dynasty.
Before the war started, and after the war started, the meaning of the Queen of Silla coming to Datang was definitely different.
Li Po nodded, "Then I have to ask, what do you think the Tang Dynasty is like to Silla?"
Kinderman did not dare to hesitate. He only pondered for a moment and then said: "The Tang Dynasty is the parents, and Silla is the children. Parents have their destiny, and children do not dare to disobey."
Li Po laughed with satisfaction. If a man said this, it would be unflattering, but when it came from the Queen of Silla, it was very pleasant to hear.
"Children are close to their parents, and parents are filial piety to their children. The words of ministers can determine the relationship between the two countries. But I don't know, do people in Silla also pay attention to filial piety? Is it different from filial piety in the Central Plains?"
In a trance, Kinderman seemed to have returned to the time she spent with her father when she was a teenager. Every question and answer was full of ingenuity. It was precisely because she was able to meet her father's wishes every time she answered correctly that she was finally able to inherit the throne.
The rhythm was very familiar, so she answered not slowly at all, "The Master said, Those who love their relatives do not dare to be evil to others. Those who respect their relatives do not dare to be slow to others. Love and respect are all done in serving relatives, and moral education is imposed on them.
The common people are spread all over the world and reflect the filial piety of the emperor.
Don't be arrogant when you are above, be high but not dangerous. Be restrained and cautious, be full but not overflowing. Be high but not dangerous, so you will always be noble. Full but not overflowing, so you will always be rich. Wealth and honor will never leave you, and then you can keep it.
This is the filial piety of the princes who care for their country and their people.
Sons serve their fathers with filial piety; fathers treat their sons with filial piety; they are responsible for the conduct of their superiors and subordinates; and they do not disturb the order of the country."
As soon as the Filial Piety Sutra came out, all the ministers standing in the palace looked over.
Li Po "..."
Xin said, you are here to show off your knowledge, are you not mistaken? Apart from him as the emperor, who here did not copy the Filial Piety Classic until they vomited blood when they were young?
Not to mention these ministers, his eldest son Li Yuan made mistakes, and most of them were punished to copy the Filial Piety Classic. He cried and wrote in big characters, and the paper was filled with blood and tears.
Li Po blinked his eyes and admired the vastness of the civilization of the Central Plains. Look, a native of Silla, who doesn't even speak Chinese very authentically, can recite the words of the sages without even stumbling. It's really
See a ghost.
He couldn't help feeling ashamed in his heart. He had read the Classic of Filial Piety, but asking him to recite it would be deliberately making things difficult for him.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was not as knowledgeable as an outsider, so he really had to feel ashamed.
He cursed MMP secretly in his heart, but his face showed a happy smile like an old father, and he nodded grandly and said: "Filial piety, loyalty, trust, etiquette, justice and shame are the greatest gifts in the Central Plains.
The country of father and son must also abide by it...
The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Silla is still short. I hope you can always remember what you said today in Silla. The Tang Dynasty will fulfill its parental responsibility and prevent Silla from suffering any disaster."
Kinderman stood up to hear the question, just like her father, with a sense of ceremony, much more reliable than her sister.
Li Po pressed his hand, motioned for her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Since we are a family, don't be cautious. After talking for a long time, are you thirsty? You should drink some.
Tea soup bar.
After you have been here for a long time, you know that for us, Difanzi and Wangyoujun are good things that we can't live without, and they have derived a lot of knowledge. After you go back, you can study and appreciate them.
Yeah, it’s very interesting.”
Difanzi, Wangyoujun, Jin Deman smacked his lips and sighed in his heart, the elegance of the Central Plains is really deep in the bone marrow. He has spent some time with Cui Shijun, but he has not yet been able to grasp one or two of them. The profound and profound things, the new
Luo Shi is hard to compare with.
But she didn't feel it. After she memorized a section of the Filial Piety Sutra, the emperor's tone and tone of speech had changed somewhat.
With a single word, the extremely solemn atmosphere was shattered into pieces, and there was also a hint of coaxing a child. The tricky part can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
Kinderman is indeed very young, she is only in her early twenties...
I saw her carefully observing the green tea soup in her hand, and she probably thought to herself, why is the color of this so similar to the poison?
The tea soup is steaming and fragrant, quietly waiting for people to taste it.
Tea is the same thing as wine. It has been impossible to verify its origin for a long time. However, unlike wine, before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, tea was mostly an exclusive drink for nobles and was rarely seen in the homes of ordinary people.
In the former Sui Dynasty, merchants were valued, and tea slowly flowed into wealthy families. Tea gardens in the south also developed, and there were signs of its popularity.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the custom of drinking tea changed again because Emperor Li Po liked to drink clear tea, that is, without adding salt foam, let alone sugar and other messy things.
Nowadays, most of the aristocratic families in Chang'an drink tea, and they like the "true taste" of tea and no longer add other seasonings. Chang'an has always been a fashion trendsetter, and I think it won't be long before nobles all over the world will follow suit.
This is obviously very beneficial to the promotion of tea. Although this was Li Po's unintentional move, it has really affected people's tastes in the world...
