Chapter 1734: Ambition Rises Again
Since the rise of Han Confucianism, the whole society has paid attention to the duty of living in peace and self-cultivation, and rarely opened its eyes to see the world. Even after the tragedy of the fall of the Central Plains and the sinking of Shenzhou in the last years of the Wuhu Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Han people still feel that they are high above and boast of being "the country of the Central Plains, the treasure of things".
This is not only the self-confidence given to this nation by the long history, but also the deformed conceit formed by the emasculated "Confucianism" after the Han Dynasty......
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty has never been cut off from the outside world, there is the Silk Road on land, there are several routes on the sea, many Hu people bring exotic treasures to the Central Plains at the same time, naturally inevitably bring information about the countries in the world, but the Han people have always been disdainful, there are few strokes in the classics and history books, and they have never been treated seriously.
This conceit lasted for 2,000 years, and the Han people have always believed that they live at the center of the world, the orthodoxy of the Celestial Empire, and that all barbarians are like wild beasts and guinea dogs.
It was not until the people's strong ships and artillery bombarded the country, and the land was ceded and the compensation was lost and the country was humiliated, and finally in the rumbling sound of cannons in the land of China, the feudal society that lasted for two thousand years collapsed, and the splendid culture accumulated by the ancestors was annihilated.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the exchanges between the Central Plains and the surrounding countries reached the peak of history, and tens of thousands of merchants from various countries lived in Chang'an City for a long time, and the annual trade with the countries was an astronomical amount, but even so, the proud Tang people never took a closer look at the powerful empires thousands of miles away, and were still immersed in the pleasure of "Lao Tzu is the first in the world".
That's right, the Central Plains Dynasty in this era is indeed the first in the world, and even has maintained this position for thousands of years.
However, who can say whether it is precisely because of this arrogance that has been perpetuated in this era that this nation has finally suffered the most painful lesson?
If you don't face up to your enemies, you will one day be struck down by them......
His Majesty Li Er, who has always prided himself on being diligent and honest, was a little dumbfounded when he heard Fang Jun's words, and subconsciously asked: "You said that the territory of the Fu Lai Kingdom is no less than that of the Tang Dynasty, and it has a million?" ”
His first impression was that he felt that the territory of the Tang Dynasty was vast and had occupied most of the world, where did he come from so much land to the country?
Fang Jun knew that His Majesty Li Er didn't believe it, this proud emperor never stopped his eyes on Hu Ren Fanbang, and there was only one Goguryeo in his eyes in his life, and he just wanted to complete the conquest and hegemony that the emperors of previous dynasties had not completed, but he could not fulfill this wish until his death......
"Isn't it just the country of Whisk? To the north, there is a rising Carolingian Empire, with a brave and warlike people......"
In less than a hundred years, Pepin the Short will become the heir to a vast empire, carrying forward the legacy of his father and father, and with the approval of the Pope, he will sweep across the continent......
"Even if it is Tianzhu, its territory is not much smaller than the Tang Dynasty, because of its warm climate and abundant water, it is a fertile land of thousands of miles, prosperous and rich!"
This is a bit nonsense, Tianzhu is rich in resources, but the three are lazy to do the problem passed down from the ancestors, since the fall of the Kushan Empire, the territory of Nuoda has been conquered and enslaved and colonized by the Rajputs, ***, the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the British......
But if it weren't for such an exaggeration, how could it seduce the interest of His Majesty Li Er?
The world is so big, heroes and heroes from all walks of life emerge in an endless stream, and there are still so many powerful emperors thousands of miles away, not to mention the Western Turks and Tubo and other countries that are close at hand. You sit on the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, since you conquered the past one by one, spread Huaxia Tianwei to Europe, and don't do anything all day long, hide at home and cultivate immortals and alchemy all day long?
His Majesty Li Er became more and more shocked, as if he had forgotten to be angry, and asked with round eyes, "Tianzhu is so big?" The Tang Dynasty often has Tianzhu monks haunted, a few days ago King Jing also introduced a Tianzhu monk called Na Luo Er Suo Po Sleep into the palace, although I see that although he is superior in knowledge and profound Buddhism, but the ragged clothes are black and thin, it seems that all the Tianzhu monks are like this, and the country seems to be poor and backward and the people are not able to make a living......"
Fang Jun didn't notice that His Majesty Li Er mentioned the name of this "Na Luo Er Po Sleep", and affirmed: "In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, there was a monk Xuanzang who went to Tianzhu to ask for Buddhist scriptures, and he should come back after calculating the time, and His Majesty can summon him into the palace to inquire in detail, which must be exactly what Wei Chen said." ”
Princess Jinyang and Princess Changle listened to it with relish, they rarely went out, even Princess Changle, who was often not in the palace, only lived temporarily in the Taoist temple of Zhongnan Mountain, how did they know these Fanbang information?
His Majesty Li Er was shocked, and his anger was fading little by little.
The immortal road is ethereal, he naturally knows that it is not easy to ask, and with the eloquence of Qin Shi Huang, he can not ask for the power of the whole country, so he knows the difficulty.
It's just that he has always felt that his physical energy has decreased in the past two years, and it is extremely difficult to suffer from illness from time to time, and then Goguryeo, which he intends to conquer, seems to be vulnerable at all, and as long as a million heavenly soldiers move forward bravely, he will definitely conquer all the battles and be invincible, and Goguryeo can resist it?
After conquering Goguryeo, a land that no previous emperor had conquered, he couldn't think of anything else worth pursuing......
If you live, you have to find something to do for yourself, right?
The internal affairs are handled by the ministers, and the country and the people are safe and smooth, and he does not need to spend more energy; In foreign affairs, there are strong generals and famous generals, and the national strength is strong and the army is large, and there is no rival in the surrounding small countries.
If you do the math, you can only try to pursue the path of immortality, although it is difficult, but what if your luck is better than that of Qin Shi Huang?
But now, as soon as he listened to Fang Jun's talk about the countries of the world, the domineering heart in his chest began to beat, and a dissipating ambition seemed to be condensing.
The territory of the country is larger than that of the Tang Dynasty, if it can be conquered into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, then wouldn't the territory of the Tang Dynasty be able to reach an unprecedented huge size in ancient times?
In comparison, Qin Shi Huang's unification of Kyushu can only be regarded as a family matter, it is a nest, and his own conquest of the barbarian Prancing Horse Europe, that is the unprecedented meritorious feat of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the three emperors and five emperors are covered!
An Emperor of the Ages?
Who else is me!
His Majesty Li Er is very excited, he is a person who is very happy, and he is a person who pays great attention to the name behind him, and the means of ascending the throne as the emperor have cast a stain on himself that can never be washed off, so he can only cover it with the merits of the emperors of the past dynasties, so that future generations can only see his own brilliance, and no longer pay attention to that little flaw......
What could be a greater feat than doubling the territory of the Tang Dynasty?
His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up, and suddenly his heart moved, something was wrong......
Aren't you going to slaughter Fang Jun's mallet? How could he be so ambitious and heroic in a few words, but he forgot to be angry......
What a treacherous courtier, I almost fell for him!
slapped his thigh, His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Bastard! Do you think that I am such a mediocre emperor that you can be blinded by just a few words? Come on, withdraw this fang from the Chengtian Gate and behead it on the spot! ”
Fang Jun wailed, why haven't you forgotten this stubble?
But with two princesses here, how could the emperor kill him......
Princess Jinyang hugged His Majesty Li Er's thigh, knelt on the ground and said with tears in her eyes: "Father is angry, even if there is something wrong with my brother-in-law, where can he commit a capital crime?" Would you like to spare him? If you are really angry, you can beat him on the board, and hit him with fifty boards...... No, no, it's good to play thirty boards......"
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "My father knows that you are close to Fang Jun, but this guy is really hateful, he actually let me Chan give up the throne, if I don't kill him, it will be difficult for me to fill the hatred in my heart!" ”
Princess Jinyang just begged bitterly.
Princess Changle also stepped forward, Ying Ying bowed, and said softly: "My daughter went to visit Sister Gao Yang in the house yesterday, and Lang Zhong in the house said that Sister Gao Yang may be pregnant again...... Father, the daughter lost her mother early, and she felt her pain deeply, did the father want to let Gao Yang's sister's child have no father? That's your grandson, how can you bear it......"
His Majesty Li Er was so angry that his beard trembled and he couldn't speak.
He has always attached great importance to the education of his children, and he has always asked for warmth to all his children, and his affection for licking calves is far better than that of the ancient emperors, especially the favorite Changle and the most connected Jinyang, in front of these two daughters, he has never even lowered his face...... In the past, there was no minister who provoked him, and he wanted to punish him severely, as long as one of these two daughters came forward to intercede, His Majesty Li Er would often open up.
However, if he let Fang Jun go at this moment, he felt that the evil breath in his heart could suffocate him to death!
