Since ancient times, it has been backward and beaten, and this is true of the Song Dynasty, and the same is true of Wuhu Chaohua. But when you are strong, you become a suzerainty, and the surrounding countries come to the dynasty, and all kinds of good things are sent to you to pull relations. For example, the Tang Dynasty was like this, Li Shimin made great efforts to rule after getting jiangshan, the Tang Dynasty appeared the situation of zhenguan rule, and then in the Tang Xuanzong period there was a Kaiyuan prosperous era, and the surrounding small countries saw the strength of the Tang, and sent envoys to make good friends with the Tang, willing to submit to the feet of the Tang, and pay tribute to various good things every year. Japan is also one of them, although Japan has been constantly harassing the Chinese border since ancient times, but they are also afraid of seeing the Tang Dynasty, sending envoys to learn various techniques, and paying tribute to various treasures and beauties, but the Japanese nation has always been disgusting, as long as there is an opportunity to invade the Central Plains, and in modern times, so we still have to be vigilant at all times.
The strength and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty were mainly two periods, Li Shimin laid all the foundations for the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and created the rule of Zhenguan, and Japan actually has a desirable place, that is, love to learn, whether it is the Tang Dynasty sent emissaries to learn from the Tang dynasty or the modern era to learn from the West for the Meiji Restoration. At that time, the emissary sent to Datang was Gao Xiangxuanli, through continuous study of Datang, Japan has made great progress, watching Datang's strength and prosperity more than a day, the Japanese people are even more unstable, so they want to send emissaries to Datang again to study, and at this time Datang is already Li Zhi's home.
Although the relationship between Japan and Datang was good in the past, but after all, a dynasty of heaven and a courtier, want to come to Datang to study naturally to pass the level of Li Zhi, there is no point of benefit naturally not OK, ordinary people to pull the relationship also have to give gifts, Gao Xiangxuan looked at Li Zhi's flesh and blood Fang Gang, thinking that if you send two beautiful women to him should be very good, most of the men can not escape the beauty pass, so he made up his mind and explained the situation to the emperor, The emperor then selected two beautiful women and many rare treasures in the country to let Gao Xiangxuanli bring them to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, in order to win Li Zhi's favor.
Li Zhi was naturally very happy to see these treasures that were not available in China and two beautiful women, and when he saw that the gift was sent to Li Zhi's heart, Gao proposed to Xuanli to come and learn the culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi agreed very happily, especially seeing these two exotic beauties who were even more difficult to sustain themselves and wanted to enter the cave room early, so they were fortunate to have these two beautiful women that night, but when they woke up early the next morning, they were frightened and scattered, and immediately ordered the two beautiful women to be locked in a cage.
Gao Xiangxuanli was very shocked when he learned this news, he thought that the two beautiful women had done something that should not have done to anger Li Zhi, and immediately rushed to the palace, and these two beautiful women were also carried out, after seeing these two women, he finally knew why, so he patiently explained to Li Zhi, it turned out that these two women were lucky to please the emperor, they got up early to freshen up and dress, painted a typical Japanese beauty makeup, shaved off their eyebrows, and then blackened their teeth and put thick powder on their faces. This dress is considered a beauty in Japan, but it is different in the Central Plains, it looks like a monster, and if you are modern, you will not be able to accept it, so you ordered the two to be put in a cage.
Although this matter was only an accident, it was explained clearly at the time, but it left an indelible shadow in the depths of Li Zhi's heart, and he never dared to ask for the beautiful women of Japan to pay tribute from then on, he had planned to return these two beautiful women to Japan, but he thought that he had already used them, so it was not good to go back, so he ordered the two to be beaten into the cold palace, but the poor two beauties inadvertently brought such a disaster to themselves. However, this can only be blamed on Gao Xiangxuan's failure to understand the customs of the Tang Dynasty in advance, and the work is not done properly, otherwise there would be no such oolong.
