Chapter 59: Swapping the Gift List
Chapter 59 Qin Huaidao sat there and listened to Zhang Liang and the officials of the Ministry of Industry.
After the officials of the Ministry of Industry left, Qin Huaidao said, it is not good to marry so many books.
Zhang Liang heard it and looked at Qin Huaidao in puzzlement.
"Can I see this list of dowries?" Qin Huaidao sat there, looked at Zhang Liang and asked.
"Well, of course you can, you're also an official of the Ministry of Works!" Zhang Liang handed the list to Qin Huaidao as he spoke,
Qin Huaidao took it and looked at it, the ones in front of him were nothing, they were all conventional things for dowry,
But this book, Qin Huaidao frowned, not only there are four books and five classics, but also many books by craftsmen, and agricultural books, these things record the most advanced practical technology on the side of Datang,
Even if those conventional books are married to Tubo, and the people in Tubo learn it, it is not good news for Datang.
Qin Huaidao thought to himself: "No wonder, after a few decades, Tubo has become a big problem for Datang, and in the future, Datang can also be said to be slowly dragged down by Tubo." ”
Marrying these books is tantamount to cultivating opponents for yourself!
"No wonder!" Qin Huaidao was sitting there at the moment, muttering in his mouth.
"Questions?" Zhang Liang saw that Qin Huaidao had been frowning, and immediately looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"My nephew doesn't know who made this gift list!" Qin Huaidao closed the list, looked at Zhang Liang and asked.
"Shangshu Province formulated, how? Big questions? Zhang Liang looked at Qin Huaidao and continued to ask.
"This gift list is sent over, within thirty years, Tubo will be able to become my Tang Dynasty's henchman, uncle, you see, this is "Qi Min Yaoshu" my Tang Dynasty's agricultural book, this is a record of veterinarians to treat poultry and beasts,
There is also this carpenter's "Carpentry Book", these, if one day, the Tubo people come to attack my Tang city with their siege tools, my nephew will not be surprised at all! Qin Huaidao sat there and pointed to the titles of the books on the list.
Zhang Liang was also frowning at the moment.
"Such a book is forbidden to be circulated in the Tang Dynasty, so why do we have to marry in the past now? Isn't this all the most advanced technology of my Datang Dynasty to Tubo?
Now our Datang has the advantage of Tubo, I believe that in a short time, they will catch up, I have always wondered before, why Lu Dongzan has been in my Datang, it seems that he is waiting for these things.
It stands to reason that now His Majesty has agreed to make peace, as the prime minister of Tubo, there is no need for him to continue to stay in Datang, it turned out to be for this, no wonder, it is rumored outside, Lu Dongzan knows my Datang very well, it turns out that he came here for these books!
As for the princess, it's all secondary, it's just an excuse! Qin Huaidao sat there and spoke.
He didn't understand before, why Lu Dongzan had been staying in Datang, and he was so idle?
At this moment, Zhang Liang had already stood up and walked back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back.
Then he gritted his teeth and scolded: "It's really a cub who sells Ye Tian and doesn't feel distressed, King Wei, what a King of Wei, okay!" ”
"King Wei?" Qin Huaidao heard Zhang Liang say this, it was a little strange, why did he still have a relationship with King Wei?
"This book list, most of them are formulated by the King of Wei, this time the development of the dowry book list is his self-recommendation, he said that he has read thousands of books since he was a child, and he wants to share his Majesty's worries, so he came to formulate this book list.
The old man never thought that this Lu Dongzan would be able to have such a plan! Zhang Liang stood there and explained to Qin Huaidao with an angry expression.
"No wonder!" Qin Huaidao also nodded at this moment, many things that he hadn't figured out before, but now he has also figured it out,
No wonder Lu Dongzan hooked up with King Wei, and even risked the Tang Dynasty's repentance of his marriage and sent someone to assassinate him, it turned out that he had reached such an agreement with King Wei.
"No wonder?" Zhang Liang saw that Qin Huaidao said these three words and didn't say any more, so he immediately asked.
"The last time the Tubo people assassinated me, there was the shadow of King Wei behind it, it turned out that the reason was here!" Qin Huaidao patted the list as he said and said.
When Zhang Liang heard it, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and understood that it was really as Qin Huaidao said, the original reason for hooking up was here.
"Peping, don't talk about today's matter to others, the old man will go to see Your Majesty tomorrow and talk about this matter well!" Zhang Liang sat down as he spoke,
He must change this gift list, otherwise, in the future, there will be no peaceful days on the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know how many Tang men will be buried in the northwest.
"Well, my nephew understands!" Qin Huaidao nodded affirmatively and said.
"Besides, nephew, you say, if we don't marry books, what books should we replace appropriately?
Lu Dongzan, I definitely want books, if we take these, we always need to add some more! Zhang Liang thought for a moment and asked Qin Huaidao.
"Simple, Buddhist scriptures, Taoist books, you can, especially Buddhist scriptures, is to persuade people to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, persuade people to do good, the best for the Tubo people, if the entire Tubo people have become believers in Buddhism, it is the most beneficial for our Datang!" Qin Huaidao sat there, looked at Zhang Liang with a smile and said,
When Zhang Liang heard it, he was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at Qin Huaidao with a laugh, very happy, this idea is really wonderful.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" Zhang Liang smiled happily, as soon as Qin Huaidao said this, Zhang Liang knew how to get it, didn't he ask for a book? Well, there is, Buddhist scriptures!
"Moreover, if it is a Buddhist scripture, we can also save a lot of expenses, there are many temples around Chang'an City, and there are many monks, so it is completely possible for His Majesty to issue an edict to let them copy as many scriptures as many scriptures as they want in each temple.
After all, copying scriptures is also one of the ways for those Buddhist children to practice, so there is no need for scholars to copy books on the part of the Ministry of Industry! Qin Huaidao continued to smile at Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang heard it, his eyes lit up, and then he patted his thigh and said happily: "Okay, it can not only prevent the loss of my Datang books, but also save a lot of expenses.
And the people in the temple, they are very familiar with the words on the Buddhist scriptures, let them copy, there must be no problem, you have a good idea! ”
After finishing speaking, he happily gave a thumbs up to Qin Huaidao.
"However, my nephew thinks that you had better not mention this matter, uncle, just tell Your Majesty, this can involve King Wei, if King Wei knows that you have changed the gift list, he will hate you!" Qin Huaidao looked at Zhang Liang as he spoke,
Zhang Liang withdrew his smile at this moment and snorted coldly: "King Wei? Such a person still wants to ascend to the throne and dream! If such a person becomes the emperor, within ten years, my Datang will be finished! ”
"Although he said that, he is still one of His Majesty's favorite sons after all, so it's not good to offend him like this, it's better to let His Majesty bring it up, and you can just talk to Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao still reminded Zhang Liang,
Zhang Liang nodded, knowing that Qin Huaidao was worried about King Wei's revenge, after all, the list was replaced, so that King Wei would not be able to deal with Lu Dongzan, and when the time came, King Wei, who was annoyed and angry, didn't know what crazy things he would do.
"Uncle still has to thank you for today's incident, otherwise, the old man will almost become a sinner in my court!" Zhang Liang then looked at Qin Huaidao and said,
The two of them sat for a while, Zhang Liang arranged for someone to start making dinner, and Zhang Liang also took Qin Huaidao to take a walk in the garden, Zhang Liang was very satisfied with Qin Huaidao's nephew.
After eating, Qin Huaidao returned to the house,
The next day, Qin Huaidao took leave from Cheng Chuhei, saying that he was not feeling well, so he would not go to the paper factory.
And it's okay for Qin Huaidao not to go for a day or two, Qin Huaidao is lying on the bench at home, holding a book and looking at it, on such a hot day, Qin Huaidao doesn't want to go outside.
In King Wei's mansion, King Wei is not in such a good mood, although there are a lot of ice cubes in the wing room now, but now the sweat on his forehead has been flowing. The two maids have been wiping the sweat of King Wei.
"Get out of here!" King Wei pushed the maid irritably.
The maid almost sat on the ground, but she still quickly got up and saluted, and then withdrew, while Cui Renshi, who was sitting on the side, looked at King Wei.
Just now they have received the news that the emperor has replaced a lot of materials on the list, especially those books, all of which have been replaced with Buddhist scriptures, and he has also issued an edict, saying that the emperor likes Buddhist scriptures, and hopes that the Tibetan Zampu can also like it.
Therefore, let the temples around Chang'an begin to copy Buddhist scriptures as materials for dowry.
"Okay, why did you suddenly change to a Buddhist scripture?" King Wei stared at Cui Renshi and asked.
"This, the minister really doesn't know, but he knows that Zhang Liang, the prince of Xunguo, went to the Ganlu Palace, and within an hour, the holy decree came down, and now I'm afraid Lu Dongzan already knows!" Cui Renshi sat there, looking at King Wei and said.
"Who's doing this? Bad for the king's good deeds? King Wei gritted his teeth and scolded.
This is what he promised Lu Dongzan, and now he can't give an account to Lu Dongzan.
"If you want to know, you need to ask the Lord of the Nation!" Cui Renshi stood there and said to King Wei.
King Wei glared at him fiercely, it was impossible for King Wei to ask Duke Xunguo, even if he did, Duke Xun Guogong would not tell him.
"Lord, Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan asks to see!" At this moment, a person in charge came in from outside and said to King Wei.
"Huh!" When the king of Wei heard it, he sighed, it seems that Lu Dongzan came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
