Chapter 617: Sending Tang Envoys
The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng is sleeping. Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship-
There is no moonset, and there is no black cry, there are maple trees by the river, but there is no fishing fire, and there are no travelers who are sad and sleepless.
Gusu City is thousands of miles away, and Hanshan Temple hides a hidden mist.
It's not the middle of the night.
The one who hears the bell is not even more on the passenger ship.
Xia Hongsheng just suddenly remembered such a poem, when he heard the morning bell ringing.
The sound of the bell slowly and gloomily swayed, gradually spreading throughout the entire Jingyang Academy.
In a short time, the silence of the early morning in the mountains disappeared.
There were all kinds of noises in the building, mixed together, and students in white shirts walked into the campus.
This scene made Xia Hongsheng feel in a trance, as if he had traveled through more than 1,300 years of time in a hurry, and stood on his campus again.
Morning jogging is an activity that students of Jingyang Academy must participate in in the morning.
After the run, it's time for the cafeteria to open.
The students all got up very actively in the morning, probably because they didn't want to miss the breakfast in the college.
Novelty, hearty, cheap and affordable, and extremely tasty.
Three meals a day, each meal has a variety of different things, serve the plate yourself, choose what you want to eat, after eating, clean the plates and chopsticks by yourself, and then put them in the recycling position, no one can be an exception. Even the professors of the academy - oh no, they are called sirs or teachers in Jingyang Academy - are no exception, and every ton is also the same as the students, who take the dinner plate to choose what they want to eat, and then clean it themselves, and their only privilege in the cafeteria is probably that only these gentlemen can come and eat for free without paying those few copper plates.
The students have a special respect for the master, not only because they are the masters, but also because they know a lot of amazing and unbelievable knowledge. It is also because the gentlemen of Jingyang Academy are not as majestic and unapproachable as the gentlemen in other places. Although they are also strict, but after class, they are more like friends, less majestic and more close.
In just a few days, the students have already fallen deeply in love with this academy full of novelties.
To be honest, Xia Hongsheng has a lot of classes. Each class has at least four large classes per day, which is eight sessions. Fortunately, Jingyang Academy is not closed, and you can go out at noon and evening, or when there are no classes. It is not far from Jingyang Academy, and it is only a cup of tea to walk, which is Jingyang Collection. Xia Hongsheng had already planned that Jingyang Ji would be regarded as the "university town" of Jingyang Academy.
If you don't have more classes, these students don't have a systematic subject foundation, everything starts from scratch, even so, Xia Hongsheng doesn't know if they can reach the level of junior high school and high school graduation in the future after four years. Fortunately, the study of the ancients can last a lifetime, and the time of a lifetime is always enough for them to follow the path pointed out by Xia Hongsheng to delve into it.
Xia Hongsheng enjoys the atmosphere of Luanzhou Academy very much, especially when he sees the students hurrying between different classrooms with different books in their arms, or when he is looking for which classroom he is in this class with the class schedule - the classes of the students of Jingyang Academy do not have a fixed classroom, a certain subject is in a certain classroom, and the students hold the books when they should take this class - he can't help but think of his four years, and suddenly feel very cordial.
"My subordinates meet the general...... Mountain Chief! When Xia Hongsheng was in infinite reverie, a voice came from behind. Xia Hongsheng looked back, but he was the doorman of the academy.
The guards of Jingyang Academy are not simple-they are all selected from the Tang Dynasty blade!
"Huh? How? Seeing that he was looking for himself outside the door, Xia Hongsheng was a little surprised, so he asked.
The doorman saluted and replied, "Your Majesty has sent someone to summon the chief of the mountain." Now the guards are waiting in the janitor's room. ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded, knowing that there was something else going on, and said in his heart, yes, goodbye to today's good weather.
I went to the guard room with the guard, saw the palace guard, asked a few words, and left the academy with the guard and went to Chang'an.
Relying on the flatness and smoothness of the cement avenue, less than an hour later, Xia Hongsheng had already appeared in front of the palace gate.
Entering the palace, I learned that the emperor was in the Liangyi Palace, went straight to the Liangyi Palace, and went in after the transmission, and found that Li Shimin was the only one.
"The ministers visit Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty has to summon the ministers." Xia Hongsheng asked.
Li Shimin raised his hand, Wang De went over and took a piece of Huang Juan, and came down and walked to Xia Hongsheng.
Xia Hongsheng took Huang Juan from Wang De's hands with doubts, looked down, and first saw the sentence "Emperor Dong respects Emperor Baixi", so he didn't control it all of a sudden: "!" ”
"Huh?" Li Shimin fortunately didn't understand what Xia Hongsheng meant, but he could also see Xia Hongsheng's surprise, so he asked, "Xia Qing, what's this?"
"Your Majesty, the Japanese are coming?!" Xia Hongsheng opened his mouth and said, "Hurry up and arrest someone!" ”
"What nonsense is Xia Qing talking about? What are the Japanese and who are they arrested? Li Shimin was even more confused.
Xia Hongsheng reacted at this time, so he said: "Your Majesty, here, there are Japanese people who have arrived in our Tang Dynasty?" ”
Li Shimin nodded at this time and said: "The envoys of the Tang Dynasty sent by the Japanese State to a group of more than 250 people came ashore from Shandong in August and arrived in Chang'an yesterday. Today, I met with the envoy of the Japanese kingdom, and this is the letter of state presented by his envoy. ”
Send Tang envoys!
From the beginning of the seventh century to the end of the ninth century, in the intervening 200 years, in order to learn from Chinese culture and learn from the advanced political, economic, and cultural systems of the Tang Dynasty, Japan successively sent more than a dozen missions to the Tang Dynasty. The sheer number of times, the scale of the work, the length of time, and the richness of the content can be summed up in the words of a later Japanese historian, Inoue Kiyoshi, that is, through such exchanges, Japan "greedily absorbed China's advanced civilization like a baby pursuing breast milk, and thus entered the stage of civilization from the stage of barbarism and with great speed." ”
On the basis of the Sui and Tang envoys absorbing a large amount of culture from China, it took Japan only a little more than a decade to complete the transformation from slavery to centralized feudalism. In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, that is, in 645 A.D., Japan carried out the "Dahua Reform", based on the Tang Dynasty's legal system, carried out reforms from the economic to the political and political aspects, learned from the political and economic system of China's Sui and Tang dynasties, and became the ancient centralized feudal state system, improved Japan's ruling system, and laid the foundation for Japan's national development direction.
If it weren't for the crazy and greedy absorption of a large amount of Chinese culture, how could Japan have completed the centralization of power in just over a decade?
These white-eyed wolves!
Xia Hongsheng was very annoyed. (To be continued.) )
