She spent ten thousand taels of gold and worked hard to acquire these books!
It is no exaggeration to say that these books are her property and her life!
But now... they are about to be violently confiscated!
This was like cutting out a big chunk of her heart!
Haomiya Qianhe held the wheel and covered her heart, a wave of anger rushed up, making her head dizzy.
"This is robbery! It's an open robbery!"
Medicine master Hui Ri protected a pile of ancient books beside him and said angrily,
"We bought these books and they must be brought back to Japan! No one can stop them!"
"You have to take it away unless you step over our corpses!"
He was the one who couldn't accept the confiscation of these books.
Because he has always been in charge of buying books, shouting hard for countless days and nights, and summarizing and classifying countless days and nights.
It took countless efforts to achieve its current scale!
He will never allow the fruits of his success to be robbed by others!
"Japanese envoy, please pay attention to your wording!"
General Xuanjia said with a cold face,
"We are Datang Customs, and we operate entirely in accordance with Datang's rules and regulations!"
"You secretly carried prohibited items with a sense of luck, and now that you have been found out, you still want to throw a tantrum and slander this general. It is really unreasonable!"
"Come on! Draw the knife!"
Swish, swish, swish!
A harsh sound came, and all the black armor cavalry drew out their sabers and looked at the Japanese envoys in front of them with eager eyes.
Although the envoy group has a large number of people, there are forty or fifty people, but they are all scum with no fighting ability.
Encountering the elite cavalry of the Tang Army is not enough to see them, they will be crushed as soon as they meet!
As soon as the knife was drawn out, the atmosphere instantly became chilly.
The faces of the domestic servants and maids of the Japanese envoys all showed fear, and they subconsciously stepped back.
Even the pharmacist Huiri was timid at this moment and did not dare to yell any more.
he
"I'll pay you back if I disobey you!"
General Xuanjia snorted coldly and shouted,
"Pass my general's order!"
"Separate all prohibited books. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be taken down immediately!"
"Yes!" Hundreds of black armored cavalry all claimed yes, their voices deafening, resounding through the clouds!
The Japanese envoys were frightened by this momentum and became more and more depressed, so that when the soldiers rushed up, they all consciously gave way.
"This pile is full of architectural drawings, all of which are prohibited items!"
"This book records the method of making paper, and it is strictly forbidden by the imperial court to leave the country!"
"This bunch too!"
"And here..."
As time passed, stacks of ancient books were separated by the soldiers and piled at the feet of General Xuan Jia.
Looking at it, it’s almost half of the total number of super fast ones!
"Princess Qianhe, what...what should we do?"
Inugami Mijishu walked to Haomiya Chizuru and asked anxiously,
"Those are the highlights!"
Haogong Qianzhe's eyes were blank, staring blankly ahead.
"Princess Chizuru!" Inugami Mikazuzu was completely anxious and shouted.
"I'm very confused right now, very confused! Don't bother me anymore! I'm thinking of a way, I'm thinking!"
Chizuru Hiromiya suddenly grabbed her hair and screamed.
Way, way...what is the way? !
They were unable to stop people from violently robbing people in the name of 'forbidden'. They could only watch as the number of books became less and less...
My heart is bleeding!
"Princess Qianhe, don't you have a good relationship with Mr. Xu? He even gave you a gift...the bronze cong and the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection"!
Three days after the dog went up, Shu said hurriedly,
"You might be able to use his name!"
Haogong Qianhe was shocked.
Xu Gong...Xu Fenglei!
Yep.
He is the supervisor of the country, and the customs will not dare not deny his face!
"Go, go...go get the bronze cong and the "Preface to the Lanting Collection", as well as the contract, quickly!"
Haogong Qianhe said hurriedly,
"Go quickly!"
How could Inugami Mikari dare to neglect, he quickly returned to the carriage, loaded up the two 'national treasure'-level objects, and sent them to Qianhe Haomiya together with the contract.
"General, I am a friend of Duke Xu!"
Haogong Qianhe suddenly looked at General Xuanjia and said loudly,
"It was his suggestion to buy books from the Tang Dynasty back to Japan, and it was with his help that I was able to purchase so many books!"
"He very much hopes that these books can make Japan a country of etiquette! Now that you are detaining these books, what you are holding is not the books, but the Japanese people's desire and admiration for the wisdom of the Tang Dynasty!"
"If Mr. Xu knew that you did this, he would be very angry!"
General Xuanjia's expression changed.
"Xu Gong?"
he asked,
"Which Mr. Xu?"
"Is there a second Duke Xu in the Tang Dynasty? Duke Xu Fenglei is now the supervisor of the Tang Dynasty!" Quan Shang Sanri picked up the tiger skin and said in support, "Our Princess Qianhe has a very good relationship with Duke Xu. The two parties are friends! Your current behavior is not only hurting our Japanese mission, but also hurting Xu Gong’s feelings!"
General Xuanjia frowned.
"Grand Master of the State...Xu Gong."
He murmured, raised his eyes and said solemnly,
"You said you are Mr. Xu's friend. What proof do you have?"
"Why should I trust you?"
Seeing him like this, Haogong Qianzhe became convinced.
This guy was a little timid, obviously afraid of Xu Fenglei's reputation.
As long as he can prove this friendship, he can resolve this crisis.
"There are three certificates!"
Haogong Qianhe pointed to the bronze cong in Inugami Sanri's hand and said in a sonorous and powerful voice,
"This is the gift that Mr. Xu gave me when we met for the first time! It is the 'bronze cong' from the Qin State. It is an instrument used to worship heaven. It is extremely precious!"
She wanted to say that it was the treasure that Qin Shihuang slept with, but because of the risk of being confiscated, she didn't dare to say it was too strange.
General Xuanjia looked at the bronze cong, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but immediately lowered them and returned to seriousness.
"The second piece is Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection", the best running script in the world!"
Haogong Qianhe said again,
"This is what Mr. Xu lent me to copy and study. I will return it after two years."
General Xuan Jia was a little nervous again, but he was a professional after all, and he still kept his expression unchanged.
"The third thing is the contract between me and Mr. Xu."
Haogong Qianhe said confidently,
"Xu Gong asked me to buy a mountain range for him in Japan for future vacations."
"The writing is clearly written in black and white, and his name is on it! This can be proved, right? I can't forge the contract in advance, right?"
General Xuan Jia crossed his arms and nodded.
"It seems that you do have a relationship with the prison country."
He said in a deep voice,
"The general will naturally not dare to offend the country."
Haogong Qianhe breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when he saw General Xuanjia suddenly became solemn.
"However, I would never dare to violate the laws of the imperial court!"
His righteous words,
"Even if the Supervisor Xu Gong wants to kill my head tomorrow, I will seize all the prohibited items today!"
"Let me tell you, this general will always be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor, not to any supervising country!"
"Unless you can produce His Majesty's imperial edict, let alone supervising the country, even if you have a warrant from the Supreme Emperor, you are not allowed to carry prohibited items out of the country without permission!"
Wow!
After saying this, he waved his hand and ordered:
"Keep checking!"
Chizuru Hiromiya: "#@￥%...&*#￥!!!"
At this moment, she was completely dumbfounded.
Is there anything wrong with this general's mind? You would rather be beheaded than investigate and deal with these books. Do you really have no mercy at all?
"you you……"
Haogong Qianhe pointed at General Xuanjia with wide eyes, already too angry to speak.
Blah blah blah, blah blah.
While the two sides were talking, the soldiers had already picked out all the banned books and piled them at the feet of General Xuanjia.
This pile directly formed a hill!
As for the Japanese envoys, there was only a small pile left.
The two are almost 80% off!
"Report to the general, these are all banned books, and we have already selected them!"
A Xuanjia soldier reported.
"Um."
The general nodded and asked,
"You have all picked carefully and haven't missed anything?"
"Let me tell you, if you dare to allow a prohibited item to leave the country, your heads will have to be moved!"
The soldier looked serious and said:
"Go back to the general, I've already checked it out, and there is indeed nothing missing."|
"The main reason is that they do a good job of categorizing. They can just scan a large area and there is no need to sort carefully."
The corners of General Xuan Jia's mouth raised slightly.
"Well done."
He patted the soldier on the shoulder and praised,
"Okay, now confiscate all these banned books!"
"yes!"
The soldiers quickly started tying up the books.
"What exactly are banned books!"
Quan Shang Sanri Shu clenched his fists and said sternly,
"You have to give us an explanation! Whatever you can't rob is prohibited. There is no such reason in the world!"
"Even if you want someone to die, you can't make someone become a fool!"
Upon hearing this, General Xuanjia turned his gaze.
"You want to explain?"
He stood with his hands behind his back and said,
"Okay, I can give it to you, general."
"The "Regulations on the Entry and Exit Administration of the Tang Dynasty" in the "Zhenguan Law" clearly states that all books related to astronomy and calendar, agriculture, engineering, mathematics, medicine, architecture, and military art. The books on Yi Xue are not allowed to leave the country. Anyone who dares to Those who secretly hide the items out of the country will be confiscated once discovered, and depending on the seriousness of the case, a fine will be imposed."
"You have brought so many banned books, and the circumstances are so serious, I am afraid that even if you are punished to the point of bankrupting your entire family, it won't be enough!"
Chizuru Hiromiya: "???"
"So many of them are banned books?"
She said in disbelief,
"Then can you tell me what other books are not banned?!"
General Xuanjia snorted coldly.
"There are no books that have been confiscated, so of course they are not. Don't you know how to read them yourself?"
He looked directly at Haogong Qianhe and said,
"Seeing that you are so confused, I will tell you a few things. Remember it clearly!"
"Poems, songs, calligraphy and copybooks are not prohibited books."
"Books on Buddhism, music, and paintings are not prohibited. If you want to take them back to Japan, you can absolutely do so."
"I think these books are enough to cultivate your Japanese people's sentiments, right?"
Haogong Qianhe was trembling all over, as if ten thousand grass and mud horses were running wildly in his heart.
Cultivation of sentiment?
What I want is a shitty way to cultivate sentiment, what I want is a way to enhance national strength!
Although these poems, songs, paintings and music are good, they only enrich the cultural level and satisfy the spiritual world. For reality... they are not useful at all!
Are all truly practical books co-authored contraband?
"What about the Confucian classics? They can't be taken away either?"
Haogong Qianhe suppressed the anger in her heart and asked,
"It seems you didn't mention Confucian classics just now!"
General Xuanjia nodded.
"Confucian classics belong to the second category of prohibited items."
He said seriously,
"Those that the general mentioned before belong to the same category and are never allowed to be taken out of the country."
"However, there is some discussion on the second-class prohibited items. As long as you have the court's permission, you can take them out of the country. As for how to obtain the court's permission, I don't know, you can find out on your own."
Chizuru Hiromiya: "#￥%...&*#!!!"
There are also categories one and two!
Even walking with several Confucian classics is so strenuous! Where is she going to get some bullshit permit right now?
Never heard of it!
"Okay, okay, okay..."
She took several deep breaths and smiled miserably,
"Since they are all prohibited items, then you should punish them! Punish them!"
"You'd better punish me by ruining my fortune and making me a slave! You punish me, punish me!"
When things got to this point, Haomiya Qianhe was going crazy!
The books had been confiscated. What was the point of her visit to Datang? How can I go to meet my father? !
Simply break the jar and throw it away!
Anyway, there is nothing left!
"Princess Qianhe, don't be like this, don't be like this..."
Inugami Mikazuo hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, but was roughly pushed away by Haomiya Qianhe.
"Let him punish me to death, I won't live anymore!"
she screamed hysterically.
General Xuanjia took out his ears and said in a deep voice:
"Please pay attention to your attitude, Japanese envoy."
"Originally, I thought that since you were a first-time offender, and since you were a foreign envoy and did not comply with our laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, I, the general, could give you a lighter sentence."
"But if you continue to act recklessly and fail to cooperate with customs work, I guarantee that the iron fist will fall on your heads!"
Chizuru Hiromiya's expression changed, and she rushed forward to scratch him, but was stopped by Inugami Mikkashu desperately.
"Princess, princess! Don't be impulsive!"
"At least... at least we still have 20% of the books left, and hundreds more! His Majesty likes Buddhist scriptures and music. He will be happy when he sees these books. We can do business!"
"Don't be impulsive. People are under the roof..."
"Ho, ho -" Haogong Qianhe gasped for air, staring at General Xuanjia with eyes that seemed to eat him alive!
But the general didn't care at all.
Just kidding, if you encounter a Turkic barbarian on the battlefield and your bayonet is red, how can you be afraid of being eaten by a woman like you?
"Write a confession and a letter of commitment, and abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty from now on. This general will be lenient and will not punish you!"
He waved and said,
"Get a pen and paper!"
