Envoy Daxu stayed in Ping'anjing and other places for a month, returned to Haizhou (Lianyungang), and got off the boat and returned to Beijing.
The process was tortuous, but when they returned to their country, they were immediately considered by the government and the opposition to be a failed diplomatic attempt.
The Japanese letter of state was written in the name of Minister of the Guanguan, and promised to choose auspicious year, month and day to pay tribute; but they did not send envoys to pay tribute immediately, but I don’t know if this date will be ten or twenty years later!
In addition, after the envoy Zhao Hong and others returned to the court, they said that Japan was disrespectful to become emperor. For a moment, the court officials were angry. Li Chuyun and other meritorious officials wrote a letter to start a war against Japan, first using force to deter diplomatic relations.
However, some ministers believe that the Jiaolong Army has few sea ships, and the large ships have not been completed, and the sea road is far away, so we cannot hurry up.They suggested that they could make friends with local officials in the form of private trade and then slow down their efforts.
When the Goryeo envoy heard Daxu's dissatisfaction with the Japanese country, he was overjoyed and wrote a letter to advise the emperor to occupy Takama Island first and then attack Japan.
For some reason, as long as the Central Plains wants to conquer Japan, it has always been something that Goryeo is happy to hear.
Da Xu Wenwu was extremely angry, which was a very subtle mentality... If the Liao Kingdom refused to call him a father, everyone would not react; but a weak country they looked down on would be disrespectful, which was something that could not be forgiven!
But Guo Shao did not show any attitude.He first summoned the chief and deputy envoy in the West Palace and listened to the statements of the chief envoy Zhao Hong himself.
Zhao Hong bowed and said: Report to Your Majesty, some people in Japan think that they don’t have to pay attention to our dynasty at all, and some people respect our dynasty’s martial arts and national power. On the surface, they are respectful but want to pass the rituals perfunctory approach in terms of rituals and laws, and they are unwilling to anger our dynasty.
Deputy envoy Zhang Yin also took the opportunity to worship him: I am advised by me.There should be two reasons for the Japanese monarch and ministers to behave like this.First, they didn't know that our dynasty was for the real benefit of the mines, and thought that we were just showing off our power. If the Central Plains had made an expedition to Japan for a false reputation, it might not be great with thousands of years of experience.Secondly, the Japanese monarch and ministers hold themselves to the vast sea and the road is far away, and the imperial court is beyond reach. They are confident and fearless. They can calmly deal with the Central Plains or whether they are alone or overseas.
Hey.When Guo Shao heard Zhang Yin’s words, he immediately noticed him and said the first sentence: Oh!I remembered that you helped me arithmetic in Pingxia.
Zhang Yin hurriedly said: The humble minister is responsible for his own affairs.
When Zhao Hong heard this, he turned his head quietly at Zhang Yin with displeasure.
Even Guo Shao saw this subtle move, but Zhang Yin didn't know it. He was excited with a red face. He couldn't wait to hold a stack of files in front of Zhao Hong, and held the things above his head, saying: I am on a mission to Japan this time, and I have recorded all the things I have seen and understood along the way. Please read it!
Guo Shao gave a light wink, and the eunuch Cao Tai stepped forward to take the file and submitted it.
Guo Shao flipped it out and saw that the characters and pictures were written in small fly heads, which were as many as dozens of pages.He immediately said: Your mission is not worthy of your visit.
The two hurriedly said, "Thank you for your grace for not punishing me."
After they stepped aside, Guo Shao was very interested in what Zhang Yin offered and immediately began to read.
Of course, Guo Shao is not unfamiliar with Japan. In later generations, he turned on TV and had more TV series... However, when Guo Shao thought about how much he knew about this opponent, he was very one-sided.
So to him, this is a familiar and unfamiliar opponent.Guo Shao was most interested in the actress before, and now he is most interested in Yinshan.
Guo Shao began to try to understand it, just as he treated all his enemies.
After roughly looking through it, Zhang Yin did not seem to write about the Japanese army in the file, probably because he did not see it.When you open the first page, it is not the emperor or important minister that Guo Shao speculated, but Shinto.
Zhang Yin wrote at the beginning that Buddhism is very popular in Japan and can be seen everywhere in temples, but he also believes in Shinto, and most of his customs are quite evident.There are many gods in Shinto, one saying hundreds of thousands, and one saying millions.
Guo Shao immediately took out the booklet with the cover written by the "On the East Island Province" from the bookshelf in the corner of the imperial case. He picked up his brush and opened it and wrote it on Shinto first, and then wrote that there was no one supreme god.
But soon his view changed slightly, and there was a supreme god called Amaterasu Tai God, representing the sun, and the emperor was the descendant of Amaterasu Tai God on earth, and he had no surname.
Guo Shao suddenly understood the reason why the Japanese king could not publicly surrender, which seemed to shake their belief value system.
After roughly reading Zhang Yin’s description of Shinto, Guo Shao recorded his personal views and understanding.
Guo Shao believes that Shinto is very limited and incomplete compared to Buddhism, and especially lacks the core content of universality of philosophy, and has rubbed many contents such as Confucianism, Taoism, legends, history, etc.
So from a religious perspective, Guo Shao thinks it is a relatively bad religion. Because it is too local, it is difficult to expand like Buddhism and Grand Food.
But Guo Shao believes that Buddhism is the essence of negative life, but the way of gods is different. Amaterasu Taishi has a certain effect on uniting his heart.
When he saw the pattern of Tomato Yu, Guo Shao's thought became even stronger.
Zhang Yin's description is that this kind of magma also exists in the Middle Earth ancient tombs, and it should be something that Japanese Chinese studies have gone to.
But now, this kind of jade is rarely seen in the Nakabara, and Guo Shao has never seen it; and in the Shinto, omelette is an ornament on Amaterasu's body.
Signs and symbols are things that can deepen the sense of identity of the race and produce a unique culture.
...Then the description of this family and the leader also allowed Guo Shao to understand the social structure of some Japan.
The lord and the lord are both land occupiers and can be called landlords; the lords devote their own land to the lords in order to seek protection.
It is roughly: the family is a big landlord, and the leader is a small and medium-sized landlord.
There are also royal families, temples, and lords.
Guo Shao felt that Japan was more like a feudal system, and now the Central Plains dynasty was called the feudal era in later generations, but it was actually centralized and there was no feudalism at all.
However, the feudal system in Japan is very delicate. The lords did not actually control the land. Many of them lived in Heian Kyo and enjoyed wealth and glory because of the offerings of the farmland. The nobles who were separated from the actual grassroots power, thus creating the cultural prosperity of Heian Kyo.
The management and protection of Zhuangtian are in the hands of others, Zhuangguan and warrior leaders.
Guo Shao suddenly felt that if Japan had no external interference, their problem was not the autocracy and power of the foreign relatives, but the village officials and samurai who actually managed the local pastoral areas.
The soil for warlord separatist has been formed.
...Guo Shao looked at it all morning without realizing it, and he came to his senses until the drums were ringing at noon.
But at this time, I was reading the poems of the most admired beautiful singer in Japan.Guo Shao casually said to the eunuch Cao Tai, who was standing beside him: Read it for me.
Cao Tai hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the file, followed the place where Guo Shao pointed, cleared his throat first, and chanted loudly: The Buddha in front has left, but the Buddha in the back has not arrived yet.Born in dreams, what is reality?My body is the flowing water that tempts duckweed. My body is tempting duckweed. The duckweed does not come and is sad.The fine branches containing dew only fallen heroes disperse, which is not as good as my body's drift...
Guo Shao listened carefully while listening, and then heard a puff sound. When he turned around, he saw Zuo You and others blushing and laughing.
Guo Shao said in surprise: What's so funny?
Zuo You hurriedly said: Poetry and essays are not funny, it is funny to read by the middle official shaking his head.
Guo Shao then turned to see Cao Tai's appearance, and Cao Tai stood there with an innocent look on his face.
The assistant minister Huang Binglian bowed and said: I am grateful to the poems and essays of Dongdao, with a melancholy sound, and a sad and groaning without any illness.
Cao Tai paused for a moment, and it was embarrassing to stand there, but the ministers were not saying it nicely, but the emperor did not say it.
He continued to recite a few poems, all of which were chanting cherry blossoms, which were beautiful and short, withered and all were sad.
The ministers obviously disliked this style and criticized them greatly.
But Guo Shao doesn't think so. He thinks it's just a different cultural aesthetic.Explain why, perhaps it is because of the mountains, forests, rainy and geographical climate. Anyway, he feels that Dongdao regards sadness as beauty.
Guo Shao rubbed his forehead, no matter how much he was, he was going to have enough lunch before talking about it.He pointed to the file on the table and ordered to copy three copies, one copy each of the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall, and the Cabinet.
Cao Tai hurriedly said: I will obey the order.
Some civil and military officials in the court believed that matters such as legal etiquette could not be compromised, so they advocated attack and punishment. Anyway, it was nothing wrong to say so.
But decision makers such as Guo Shao and Wang Pu cannot be careless. They will understand the inferences and then formulate strategies.
When the emperor left the study, several auxiliary officials also went to the kitchen to have dinner. Most of the officials in the Beijing offices ate in the public office and did not go home at noon.
When someone mentioned the emperor's attitude towards Dongdao casually, Lu Duosun only said softly: There is this booklet on the imperial case. I accidentally saw it when I delivered the memorial, it was called "Omitted to the East Island Provincial Affairs".
After hearing this, the other three people suddenly looked unconscious and stopped talking about this.
Zuo You looked at Lu Duosun with a teasing look on his face and said: That harmony song is really not good for eunuchs to sing.
Lu Duosun didn't understand his intention and said in confusion: Do you want to invite a singing girl to sing?
Zuo You smiled and shook his head and said: Isn’t it great if Mr. Lu had another woman from the East Island?
Zan Jurun and others immediately looked sideways, understanding that Zuo You was teasing Lu Duosun for causing marriage to Concubine Li Xian when he was on the mission to Dangxiang.
After hearing this, Lu Duosun's face turned red. He was suspected of doing such a thing, but it was not very glorious after all.He strongly argued: If it is beneficial to the country, why bother to stick to the minor details?
He went to have a meal with the other three assistant ministers, and while walking, he changed the topic: Japan paid tribute in the name of Minister of the Heguan, which was also considered as the official exchanges had a reputation.But they were just talking, and they didn't know when they would come to pay tribute.Can't the court send envoys to urge them immediately?
Several people nodded and agreed, and could not send people there anymore, as etiquette was unreasonable.
The process was tortuous, but when they returned to their country, they were immediately considered by the government and the opposition to be a failed diplomatic attempt.
The Japanese letter of state was written in the name of Minister of the Guanguan, and promised to choose auspicious year, month and day to pay tribute; but they did not send envoys to pay tribute immediately, but I don’t know if this date will be ten or twenty years later!
