If I have achieved something that the founders of the country, Taizu and Emperor Taizong, could not achieve, can I still be a coward?
"Good guy, that kid is really amazing."
Wu Zhizhong, whose eyes were shining when he heard this, couldn't help but let out a low cry, which attracted Chen Shilang to look this way.
"You mean, is this also the result of Duke Zhuangyuan's work?"
After hearing what Chen Shilang said, Wu Zhizhong nodded slightly.
"Except for him, do you think that given the current situation of the Song Dynasty, which country is willing to let the Song Dynasty give its country a name and give its leader a surname?"
"I remember that before the founding of Xixia, a party leader surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong gave him the surname Zhao..."
But as a result, Li Yuanhao's grandfather Li Jiqian did not go to the Song Dynasty to surrender. He did not accept the surname given by the Song Dynasty. He gathered people in the Ningxia area and continued to be the enemy of the Song Dynasty.
Even after the Xixia regime was established, Li was still the surname.
There is also a Tibetan tribe that surrendered to the Song Dynasty when the Northern Song Dynasty captured Xihe and Taomin. They were also given the surname Zhao.
Apart from this, there is no record of successfully being given a surname. The Fujiwara Kingdom was so humble that it even asked the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to give it a country name. This was definitely the only time since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
With this kind of operation, Wu Zhizhong felt that if it hadn't been done by the young and cunning Gao Guizhang, he could have eaten the Fujiwara Kingdom's credentials directly.
It can be said that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were a little too happy today. After all, it was really rare to give a vassal country a country name and the surnames of the king and queen.
Such a three-piece suit has never been seen in the Song Dynasty. As for the Tang Dynasty, it is probably difficult to encounter it.
Looking at those in front of me who were so excited that they were a little incoherent, they were talking to each other, and some people even started to offer suggestions.
Zhao Ji, an official, felt as if he had drank a large bowl of ice-cold sour plum soup in the dog days of summer, feeling comfortable from the top of his head to his buttocks.
Next, a group of ministers began to quarrel over how to name Fujiwara Kingdom, citing scriptures.
But there is one thing. Everyone is very consistent about giving the surname of the king of Fujiwara Kingdom and his mother-in-law. Please give the surname of Zhao to the king of the country and the surname of Wang to his descendants.
#####
Why the surname Wang? Of course it is because the empress of the Song Dynasty was named Wang.
In this regard, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty naturally followed suit, and it didn't matter if we discussed the matter of giving his country a name for a few more days, but there was no problem in giving the surname of the leader of Fujiwara Kingdom Zhao and his wife's surname Wang.
As for asking the Song Dynasty to fully implement Confucianism and Chinese characters in Fujiwara Kingdom and promote the Song Dynasty Mandarin, there is naturally no problem.
After all, the other party has already expressed such loyalty before, so there will naturally be no problem if the other party learns this.
Furthermore, we implore the Song Dynasty to allow scholars from the Song Dynasty to go to Fujiwara Kingdom to promote Confucianism, Chinese characters and the official dialect of the Song Dynasty.
This one echoes the previous one. You can't let a bunch of Fujiwara people who can't even read Chinese characters mess around, right?
If you want to teach Confucianism well and promote Chinese characters and Song Dynasty Mandarin, it really has to be done by the scholars of the Song Dynasty.
Regarding this article, Wu Zhizhong, the Minister of Rites of the Song Dynasty, expressed strong support.
He also believes that Confucianism is the fundamental concept of governing the country in the Song Dynasty. Only those scholars in the Song Dynasty can truly understand it, read it clearly, and use it in the strategy of governing the country.
In addition, there are so many talents in the Song Dynasty now, but because the court is unable to absorb so many talents, a large number of talents flow into countries such as Xixia and Liao that are enemies of the Song Dynasty.
In this case, why not proactively provide them with a vassal state that is friendly to the Song Dynasty.
As long as they are willing to go and at the same time be able to use the concepts and ideas of benevolence and filial piety of the Song Dynasty to influence the barbarians, wouldn't the court do such a good thing?
I have to admit that what the Minister of Rites said made some officials who were obviously stuck in their own way speechless.
In addition, Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty, also intended to agree to the request of the very wise leader of the Fujiwara Kingdom, so the matter was settled smoothly.
In addition, because the envoys of the Song Dynasty are still in the Fujiwara Kingdom, they just happen to have a good negotiation with the Fujiwara Kingdom on this matter.
In this regard, Cai Jing and Tong Guan could only silently praise the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, they cursed in their hearts, wishing they could pick up a big stick and cross the mountains and seas in person to capture the evil beast back to the Song Dynasty.
As the officials of the Song Dynasty determined the general strategy, they also threw out the name of the Fujiwara Kingdom, and let the officials continue to discuss it. Two days later, they came up with the final strategy.
Only then did today's temporary court meeting come to a successful end amidst the praises of officials and sages from the ministers and ministers.
Zhao Ji, an official, walked lightly towards the imperial study room deep in the palace.
The smile on his face meant that he was in a very comfortable mood at the moment.
Returning to the imperial study, as soon as he entered the door, official Zhao Ji's eyes fell on Gao Zhang's painting.
The person above is handsome and elegant, and in his elegance, he still retains the majesty of an immortal.
Whether it is a goddess who looks like Master Shishi, or a god general who looks like Yang Jian, even the sacred dog Xiaotian squatting at his feet is so majestic and vivid.
"This kid Xiaogao really did not disappoint me. This letter of credence from the leader of the Fujiwara Kingdom must have come from his instruction."
"At such a young age, he is able to subjugate the leader of a country and is willing to obey his orders. It is truly remarkable."
Yang Jian on the side heard this and always felt that something was wrong, but looking at the official's expression, there was nothing else except appreciation and praise.
Yes, as long as you like someone, you will trust him unconditionally.
"Come, grind the ink for me. I want to give Xiao Gao a good warning. Although the leader of the Fujiwara Kingdom seems to be submissive on the surface, he still needs to be cautious in his actions."
"Guanjia Shengming, Guanjia, Duke Zhuangyuan will definitely remember your words in his heart and never forget them."
#####
"Xiang Cai, Liu Lang of the Yin family, have you replied to your letter?"
Tong Guan, who was walking slowly outside the palace, asked in a low voice to Cai Jing, who was walking side by side.
After hearing this, Cai Jing suddenly felt that his good mood was ruined.
Of course Cai Laoliu wrote a letter, and the first sentence he said was that he would not grant his orders to me, let alone my father?
If it weren't for Cai Jing, he has developed strong resistance and control over the various provocative words of his sixth son over the years.
But he was almost so angry that his brain blood vessels burst and he was sent away on the spot.
As for the arrogant and domineering nonsense that followed, Cai Jing gritted his teeth.
In the letter, Rokuro described himself as a native emperor of the Fujiwara Kingdom.
Even the leader of Fujiwara Kingdom recognized his ability and cried and asked him to stay in Fujiwara Kingdom as prime minister.
