Returning to Chang'an from Yanbei, Zhao Gou piled up several secret reports from the Western Regions on his desk, and the situation there seemed to be ...... and a bit complicated!

Brother Bile and Yidu have a very good attitude towards their father and son, and the attitude of the Gaochang government and the opposition is also very good, at least on the bright side, there is nothing wrong with it. But it's hard to get into the East Kara!

Ibrahim is entangled not only in his political status, but also in the question of the Heavenly Sect!

Zhao Gou's attitude towards it is to forbid it. Whether it is heaven or one god, this kind of belief in super-strong demagogy and cohesion is a curse for a regime.

The vast land of China, with Buddhism is enough.

After all, the latter two have been repeatedly beaten by centralized power, which is different from Heaven and One God!

And the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, which have not been killed, have now obediently surrendered to the feet of the court, and no one thinks about using faith to call for wind and rain in the Central Plains, let the centralized power, and let the emperor surrender to the feet of faith.

But Heaven is different from one God.

Even the caliphate, who nominally held the handover of power, was in fact mostly controlled by the elders. Even the local elders have authority over the regime, such a belief, Zhao Gou will only let them into the Great Song Dynasty if he sees the hell!

Now even the coastal Baifan have been blocked, and in the past few hundred years, Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places, the Xingyue Temples that they have built one after another have been seized.

After the Western Regions were taken by the Song army, it would also be the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Such a decision must have had a great impact on the progress of the Song army. Whether it's Ibrahim Khan in the upper class, or those small people at the bottom. A belief that has a strong control and demagogic power over the people will not be tied up, and will not obediently admit defeat!

But Zhao Gou was not afraid.

At that time, the heavenly people could hold a knife in one hand and a scripture in the other hand to wipe out Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Buddhism, etc., and the current Song army can also completely extinguish the belief in heaven with a knife and gun.

It's all just a matter of interest.

It is very elegant to say that when the people there find that the "interests" of their belief in heaven are no longer comparable to the "interests" of the faith, that is when the green recedes in Central Asia.

As for the simple and crude statement, it is okay not to say it.

But it must be noted that Zhao Gou's ideas made the westward expedition much more difficult......

Zhao Gou, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was holding an open secret fold in his hand, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

The eunuch on duty who served stood not far away, and he didn't dare to say a word in the atmosphere.

From the moment he saw these folds, the official's expression was a little wrong.

Isn't it a bad thing that is written on this secret fold?

Just thinking about it, Zhao Gou, who had been watching the folds before, raised his head and said to the eunuch on duty: "Xuanyu Wenxuzhong." "He was thinking that this 'backlash' had arrived as scheduled, and it seemed that he should also send envoys to the Western Regions.

Yuwen Xuzhong has been in the position of secretary and supervisor for a while, and it is time to be released. But compared with the position that Zhao Gou planned to give him, Yuwen Xuzhong's "qualifications" were a little thinner.

And it is not as good as Chen Yu and Zhao Butry, who have made great contributions in real politics, Yuwen takes the central line. After the Jinshi and the first, in the first few years, he also went through the Guanzhou County, but later people entered the court and became a living housekeeper, an editor of the National Academy of History, until the official became a scholar of the Senior Administration Palace! The most commendable among them is that he went to the army to appease King Qin's army during the first invasion of the Jin people, and was later promoted to a scholar of the Senior Minister's Palace. Responsible for negotiating peace with the Jin people.

The position is very high, but there is no real outstanding credit to lay the foundation, even if it is a matter of negotiating peace with the Jin people, it cannot be done because of the failure of Yao Pingzhong's night attack.

Such merits and qualifications, to be the first official all the way in the hinterland, but if you want to be the protector of the Western Regions, it is really lacking.

But if Yuwen Xuzhong can go to the Western Regions for a while, when he returns to Bianliang, and then he is released, then the whole world can go.

Yuwen Xuzhong was waiting in the side room outside the hall, and when he heard the summons, he immediately tidied up his clothes and walked to see Zhao Gou.

"Chen Yu Wenzhong, meet Your Majesty!" Yuwen walked to the dragon case in a void and bowed.

"Qing family up." Zhao Gou looked at the person in front of him, talent, eagerness, and overall situation, all of them were qualified. The biggest shortcoming is that I'm too old. It's all fifty now.

But he's still in good health.

If you can go to Gaochang and Dongkala, it will be impeccable.

Looking at this gentlemanly man, Zhao Gou really admired it. And diplomacy, no matter what era it is, this person who looks dignified and eye-catching on the outside always has an advantage.

"Yuwenqing's family, there is something I want you to do."

Yuwen Xuzhong hurriedly said: "Please Your Majesty command, Yuwen Xuzhong will definitely do his best." “

Zhao Gou said: "I have a secret report, for the attachment of Yi Zhi, Dongkhara Ibrahim seems to have doubts, this matter is very important, and it must be cautious. ”

These words were plain, as if it were just a trivial matter, but Yu Wenxu's face instantly became solemn.

Ibrahim Khan's obedience is to some extent related to the bottom line of the army's westward expedition, but now......

"Your Majesty, please."

"Ibrahim's change of obedience has been a sign since last year. I had given him some time, but he didn't offer to submit to him, and now there are signs of repetition, which makes me very disappointed. This time the use of troops, when the envoy was sent to ask. Don't be unpredictable. Zhao Gou sneered slightly, still without a superfluous expression: "In this matter, I want to ask you to go to the Western Regions." ”

As for the position of the protector of the Western Regions in the future, isn't it time to speak?

"Your Majesty is saying that you will let the ministers envoy to the Western Regions?" The spirit of Yuwen Xuzhong has exploded.

Going to the Western Regions is a rare thing. In his mind, he instantly thought of the famous Ban Chao!

Although at this time and at that time, the Western Regions today are very different from the Western Regions in the former Han Dynasty.

"Well, that's exactly what I mean. Would you like to? Zhao asked.

"Dare not to die!" Yuwen Xuzhong immediately responded.

This is not far away to the Western Regions, although it is a little dangerous, but the emperor can think of you when he encounters something and send you to preside over this matter, this is the emperor's trust, and it is a beautiful thing that many officials can't ask for. Yuwen has no reason to shirk.

"Then you will set off for the Western Regions on the same day. After meeting Ibrahim, whether he succeeds or not, he must take care of himself. ”

Yuwen understood Zhao Gou's thoughts, and his heart was hot, this was the emperor's love for him.

"The minister will not fail in his mission."

said this in his mouth, but in his heart, he thought of Fu Jiezi from Ban Dingyuan and thought of Wang Xuance......

Literati.
