Li Shi, the assassin of Youzhou, came in a hurry yesterday night, and it is not surprising that this defender of the northern military town, who has been promoted from the army general, has experienced countless large and small wars in his life, so it is not surprising that he has a good cultivation.

Of course, the purpose of his visit was to connect the Bohai Bay, but he didn't want to hear such an unbelievable thing halfway after receiving the summons.

After arriving, a Dengzhou official whispered, and Li Shi's face was already full of anger: "Mr. Li, this matter is thanks to you and a few seniors here, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable!" ”

This Li Shi also has some blood relationship with the royal family, Princess Taiping has a little impression of him, and he has just been introduced, so he knows this person.

At this moment, Princess Taiping said on the side:

"This matter has nothing to do with Li Xia and Dengzhou Mansion, and my safety is nothing, but these Dongying cultivators have extremely bad intentions, you Youzhou should also pay attention in the future, in addition to this side of the sea, you must also strictly investigate the Japanese cultivators who entered from Goguryeo!"

Li Shi received the order, and also deeply recorded this matter in his heart, and arranged it as soon as he secretly ordered him to go back.

Li Zhi said to Dengzhou Assassin Shi Peng Zuoxiang: "First arrange the accommodation of our group, then go back to cooperate with Li Xia and control all the Dongying people in Dengzhou City, but don't be arrogant during this period, first treat each other with courtesy, I have a detailed list here, you can find someone to remember it now!" ”

This list is since the Japanese people who came to Datang to do business earlier, Otsu Cheng, Asada Takuji and others, it was through them that they arranged a place to live.

The names of the relevant Japanese people were recorded by the people, and then Li Zhi said: "Among these people, only the cultivators are implicated in these people, those ordinary people can be moderately warned, my Datang has just established a good relationship with the Dongying people, at this time, try to take the initiative to leave them out, and in the future, our cultivation world will take over the needs!" ”

The wounded people in one place have come to the carriage to load, and they have already banned them one by one from cultivating, don't look at those people who have lost their arms, if they want to escape, it is not impossible.

Li Yiren and his party were arranged in a palace not far from Sanxian Mountain, which was a hot spring palace set up by the former Sui Dynasty, in the style of a royal manor, and the scale was still very large.

There are both the male of the royal garden in the north and the private garden in the south, and the sea area opposite is less than 100 zhang away, which contrasts this classical garden with the endless sea, and has a wonderful and wonderful meaning of harmony between man and nature, and the unity of heaven and man.

The pavilions and pavilions in the manor, the eaves and corners, the momentum is majestic, the golden brilliance, is divided into three separate places, respectively named Penglai Immortal Pavilion, Fanghu Shengjing, Yingzhou Wonderland, the name is quite atmospheric.

The three palaces have their own titles, Princess Taiping and her entourage were placed in Penglai Immortal Pavilion, Li Zhi and others were Fanghu Shengjing, and Yingzhou Wonderland was occupied by local officials and people from the three families of Shandong.

The hot spring pools are concentrated in a public place called the fairyland on earth, but in the Penglai Immortal Pavilion where Princess Taiping is located, there is a special hot spring pool for use, and Li Zhi resolutely refused Taiping's invitation.

Knowing that it was impossible, Taiping still showed a trace of sadness because of his refusal, Li Zhi said happily: "You don't pretend, if I really enter, I'm afraid you would have fled far away." ”

Taiping hehehe, "You guessed this?" But you're coming to me tonight, and we haven't been together since we left Luoyang City! ”

Li Zhi said in a low voice: "Nacheng, I'll get Master Jiao drunk tonight!" ”

Someone came from afar to announce the time of the dinner, and the two parties returned to their residences to clean the dust all the way.

Due to special circumstances, the dinner was postponed until more than half of the time, that is, around eight o'clock in the evening, waiting for everyone to be in Yingzhou Wonderland

The welcome hall gathered, and Li Zhi had already seen the carefully combed Taiping coming over from a distance.

She was playing with a Tuyao orb given to her by Li Zhi in her hand, as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, she had seen countless treasures, and there was no more rare thing than this.

According to her secret story, she now has to hold it when she sleeps, which shows her great joy.

Especially at this time, she was dressed in pink, and her dignified appearance revealed an indescribable sense of enchantment, with green silk draped down, only tied with a pink hairband.

The slender and icy calves are looming, the pink face is delicate and red, and the moist and clear eyes seem to contain a touch of indescribable beauty and delicateness.

It is such a character, and then holding the delicate, crystal clear translucent round bead, the Spitting Jewel is already fluorescent, and her natural beauty is set off all over the room.

Li Zhi secretly swallowed a puff of saliva very calmly, and said to Li Xiaqiang beside him sternly: "How come there are less than 200 Dongying people in Dengzhou Port? ”

Li Xia replied: "The end of winter and the beginning of spring is the season of tight winds and waves at sea, and it is the junction with the Yellow Sea, the north wind and the northwest wind come early and retreat late, the duration is long, the wind is strong, and it brings great threat to the passing ships. ”

The Bohai Sea is located north of the 0°C isotherm in winter, which means that there will be an ice age in winter, and the Bohai Sea has a special topography, belonging to an inland sea, surrounded by land on three sides, and the bell mouth extends south to the Yellow Sea, and the heat exchange with the outside sea water is relatively small.

It is difficult for the external warm current to reach the Bohai Sea in the north, and the Bohai Sea is located in the continental monsoon climate zone of the Tang Dynasty, which is prone to ice formation under the influence of frequent southward movement of Siberian cold waves.

Hearing Li Zhi's question, Li Xia said: "Youzhou Yuyang, Lushun Yingkou, and Cangzhou in Hebei Province are easy to freeze, and Dengzhou Port and Sanshanpu Port belong to the deep sea area, and they are bordered by the Yellow Sea, so there will be no such situation!" ”

"Are there a lot of Dongying merchants in Dengzhou?"

"In recent years, there have been more and more of them, and this is because large-scale official exchanges were not possible until the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. In their eyes, we are a perfect country: a harmonious political system of monarchs and ministers, a peaceful and contented people, profound Confucian and Buddhist scriptures, etc., if we can replicate all this, Dongying will definitely become a civilized country. It was also with the help of the Tang envoys that it entered the current Tang period, and it is said that whether it is the political system, the tradition of etiquette and music, the habits of life or even the language and writing, all of them have been sinicized. ”

"Didn't they send a Tang envoy fifteen years ago?"

"My wife is a native of Dengzhou, and according to her, there were businessmen who used to come here 30 years ago! The Japanese people not only wore clothes to learn the Tang Dynasty, but even their diet changed. The banquet dishes in the imperial court were all made of Tang cuisine, and the upper-class nobles ate the same dim sum as Chang'an at that time, such as wontons, pancakes, etc., commonly known as Tang food. It is said that at that time, the people of Tang food were believed to have miraculous medical effects, and when an important minister fell ill, the emperor would often give him a box of Tang-style dim sum, and the minister would be moved by the five bodies to the ground, and he ate carefully for fear of losing a sesame seed. ”

Li Zhi laughed, not only did he not think that this statement was exaggerated, but even felt that it was far away.

At that time, Pingchengjing, the capital of Dongying, was built according to the design of Chang'an City, and the houses of nobles and citizens were neatly arranged around the palace, which was also called "Fang", and there was a commercial area "City" for the consumption of citizens not far from the residential area, and the two were clearly distinguished, and they were not allowed to live together.

Once the curfew is implemented at night, it is forbidden to enter and exit at will, if you want to go out to have a barbecue at night, it was impossible at that time, all of this is based on the Tang Dynasty copied the past, which is recorded in the annals of history.

But his

The laughter caused Li Xia's misunderstanding, and he thought that Li Zhi was full of disbelief, and hurriedly explained:

"Mr. Li, some of them I saw with my own eyes! Because of my identity, I have often met Tang envoys in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, all of whom can speak fluent Chang'an dialect, and study Confucian classics in depth in Guozijian, and also learn to write Tang poems elegantly, and then have a full set of Tang Dynasty costumes, which is a complete image of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Zhi also hurriedly stated his attitude: "I don't believe it, but I am proud of our Datang!" ”

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief, "In my opinion, it is still thanks to the Battle of Baijiangkou twenty-two years ago, and Dongying was defeated. In the years that followed, not only did they not use troops on the Korean Peninsula again, but they also humbly acted like primary school students, constantly sending Tang envoys to learn from the Tang Dynasty. Far from being estranged by the war, Dongying's relationship with us has become closer, and I think this nation is purely the kind of people's consciousness that bullies the weak and fears the hard. ”

Li Zhixin was even happier, and admired Li Xia very much, Dongying's character was a fact that had long been recognized in later generations, but I didn't expect that in the Tang Dynasty 1,200 years ago, someone would have already made such a conclusion.

But he understands better in his heart that the people of Dongying learn from the Tang Dynasty, not simply "friendly".

Especially after the later Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty took a sharp turn for the worse, and the island country's policy towards the Tang Dynasty was gradually adjusted, first of all, it suspended the "sending Tang envoys" exchanges, except for maintaining active official exchanges with a few countries such as Bohai and Goryeo, and the Central Plains Dynasty was dispensable.

Second, they promulgated a series of relevant bans against the Tang Dynasty, involving the prohibition of citizens from going to sea and the prohibition of ministers and ministers from buying "Tang goods" without permission.

In the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the warlords were fighting, and Dongying was even more conservative, further solidifying the series of bans imposed on the late Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the island country, the "national style culture" tended to mature, and Dongying gradually formed a set of its own cultural system on the basis of the Tang Dynasty, which was basically cut off from the Central Plains Dynasty.

The subsequent Song Dynasty was one of the most prosperous dynasties in the history of Dongtu, and it stands to reason that Dongying should take the initiative to show goodwill.

Unfortunately, however, there has been no official engagement with the authorities, except for people-to-people exchanges.

In the Song generation, Dongying basically adhered to the policy of "leaving the Song Dynasty", and even if he had to associate with the Song, he only "sent people to pay tribute" and deliberately avoided official contact.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty would not only personally receive the monks who came to Dongtu to study Buddhism, but also sent envoys to Dongying three times in a row through Song merchants with state certificates and gifts.

Regarding the olive branch of the Song Dynasty, the Secretary of State Dongying held many meetings to study it, but he did not reply for a long time, and even flatly refused, and the matter of diplomatic relations was repeatedly stranded.

Although the Song Dynasty was rich, the threat of border troubles from the north had already made it anxious, and it was even more out of reach for this stubborn island nation.

As for some people saying that Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the emperor, and after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Dongying went up to the emperor and down to the common people, and the whole country mourned, which is obviously unreasonable.

On the whole, since the moment of the decline of the Tang Dynasty, Dongying's "disrespect" to the Central Plains Dynasty has already shown signs, and by the time the five dynasties were in the scuffle, the Northern Song Dynasty was weak, and this "disrespect" had reached the point of no return.

And this change of attitude has a lot to do with the rise and fall of the Central Plains Dynasty, and at this moment, isn't the intrusive intention of their folk cultivation world the first to be exposed in the deep minds of their countrymen?

Thinking of this, Li Zhi already planned to discuss this matter with Taiping, so that through her, he could pass on some relevant information to Empress Wu, hoping to arouse her vigilance.
