Chapter 247: Guli Peiluo sacrifices his daughter
Guli Peiluo arched his hand and smiled: "The bearing of the Grand Governor is admirable!" Tuyuhun was invaded by Tubo, and if there was no protection from the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun would have perished long ago. Now this Tuyuhun people are thriving in the territory of Datang, accepting the Taoism of the Tang Dynasty, and worry-free about food and clothing, which is actually quite enviable to us. ,”
Guli Peiluo's words are of course just a polite remark.
The country that is carried again is also a country, even if it belongs to a certain powerful force, it still has a corresponding independence xìng: but Tuyuhun is now the destruction of the country, and the country does not exist, what else to say.
"Hehe, Khan, my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as the Heavenly Khan, should have the bearing and elegance to accommodate all the people of the world. Whether it is Tuyuhun, Huifu, or even Tubo, His Majesty the Emperor can treat everyone equally. It's just that the ambition of this Tibetan wolf has always coveted the territory of our Tang Dynasty, repeatedly provoked incidents, caused wars between the two countries, and caused disasters to the people of Li, which is really hateful! ,”
"Hui and Datang are good friends, and the world is a state of father and son. When this official was in Chang'an, he heard that the khan was wise and martial, and he was a Ming lord since the founding of the Hui Dynasty. ," Zhang Xuan laughed, casually saying some high-sounding diplomatic rhetoric to Guli Peiluo.
Zhang Xuan can already see that Guli Peiluo personally came to Lingzhou to visit him this time, and the connection between the two countries is one aspect, and the real factor is that he said to Gele in Shuofang City that day.
In other words, as the governor of Longshuo, he gave a big red envelope to the Hui people.
Zhang Xuan said that it is necessary to further promote trade between Longshuo and the Uighurs, open the borders, reduce or exempt taxes, and allow Uighur merchants to freely enter the capitals of Longshuo to set up shops and conduct trade.
This is very important for the Uighurs. One of the main factors why Hui Hui belonged to Datang was the lack of various materials, grain and grass, and they had to rely on Datang as a supply base for material supplies. Without the support and protection of the Tang Dynasty, the Hui would soon be swallowed up by the Tibetans or other steppe nomadic groups.
In the past, the trade policy of the Tang Longshuo area for the Hui was limited to openness, and the trade exchange between the two countries could only be done in some border areas, and if the Hui people wanted to set up shops in the cities of the Tang Dynasty, it was simply an unlikely thing.
Therefore, as soon as Gele mentioned this matter, Yuli Peiluo was greatly moved, so he came to Lingzhou in person.
However, as the monarch of a country, Guli Peiluo also knows that there is no free lunch in the world∨ Xuan is a feudal Longshuo, and when he first arrived, he threw ~ an olive branch to the Hui people, and its intentions are worth dealing with carefully.
Therefore, although Guli Peiluo came, he did not take the initiative to mention it. And Zhang Xuan was even more happy to pretend to be confused and adjust the appetite of the people.
After three rounds of drinking, he talked for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't hold back and gave Gele a look.
Ge Le smiled awkwardly, and cheekily took the initiative to mention some "old things" in Longshuo that day, Zhang Xuan laughed out loud and swept away the pair of cautious Hui authorities. In fact, he was not prepared to completely open up trade with the Uighurs, and he did not have any sinister intentions, nor did he want to obtain any political benefits from the Uighurs, but only based on a long-term political consideration.
The opening of commerce and trade is of practical benefit to the Tang Dynasty, especially for the Longshuo area, which can stab the commercial development and improve the strength of Longshuo. In the long run, the Tang culture will gradually assimilate into the Hui Dynasty, because the Hui Hui are subordinate to the Tang Dynasty in many aspects such as politics, economy and culture, and after a long time, it will inevitably be infiltrated by all aspects of the invisible.
Zhang Xuan was convinced that as long as he was given a certain amount of time, he would turn the Hui people into an autonomous prefecture of the Tang Dynasty and directly include them under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.
For aliens, strong repression by force is only a superficial factor that prompts them to submit, and the only way to truly gain the conversion of aliens is cultural and economic assimilation.
As a modern time-traveler, Zhang Xuan's vision is far-reaching. But it is obvious that although the father and son of Guli Peiluo are quite strategic and courageous, they will not think so far.
"Khan, Prince Gele, this official does have such considerations. In the next step, this official will order the state capital and county capital of Longshuo to fully open up trade with the Hui, and allow the Huihui merchants to open shops in the cities within our territory and enjoy the same treatment. Zhang Xuan smiled and raised his glass to look at Guli Peiluo, and said softly.
Guli Pei Luo was overjoyed, but he forced himself to suppress his joyful emotions, and said calmly, "The governor of the capital is kind and friendly, and Guli Pei Luo feels inexhaustible." If the Metropolitan Governor can open the border and allow my Hui people to open shops and trade freely in the Tang Dynasty, the Hui are willing to be the state of the Tang Dynasty's courtiers forever. And for the Grand Governor,"
Guli Pero glanced at Gele.
Ge Lehuo got up, took out a gift slip from his arms, and handed it over respectfully, "Dadu Governor, this is a little gift from my father Khan, it is not a respect, please accept it with a smile!" ,”
Zhang Xuan didn't look at it, but it is conceivable that Guli Peiluo is the monarch of a country after all, and the gift he can take out must be expensive.
Zhang Xuan shook his head and refused, "The Khan's intention has been accepted by the official, but the official will not accept the gift." This official has always done things only for the sake of the public heart, not for the sake of profit, and only for the sake of friendship and mutual help between Hui and the Tang Dynasty, and there is nothing else to do. ,”
In fact, it is not new for the Hui people to give gifts to the authorities in Longshuo and the magnates of the Tang Dynasty. On the Shangyuan Festival last year, Guli Peiluo went to Chang'an and gave Yang Guozhong a generous gift.
But Zhang Xuan didn't accept it, and his attitude was very resolute.
The corners of Geler's mouth twitched slightly in embarrassment, and he reluctantly took the gift list back.
Guli Pei Luo thought in his heart, this person is really a little different, and it is really rare for Tang Dynasty ministers who don't love money, could it be a pretentious gesture?
As soon as he thought of this, Guli Peiluo said tentatively, "I heard that the governor of the capital is famous, and the young man is famous, and he regards money as dung. Guli Pei Luo admires it very much! ,”
Guli Pei Luo got up and took a deep look at Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan also got up and returned the salute, smiled and said, "The Khan has a good reputation, Zhang Xuan is not a cultivator outside the world, since he lives in the world, he is naturally inseparable from the things of wealth." It's just that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and Zhang Xuan is favored by the imperial court, and the income is enough. ,”
"The Hui and the Tang Dynasty have deepened friendly exchanges, the two countries have helped each other, promoted the opening of business and trade, cultural exchanges, and even promoted intermarriage between the two ethnic groups, which has all the benefits and no disadvantages for the Hui and the Tang Dynasty.
"In the future, it is common for the Tang people to settle in the Tang Dynasty, or for the Tang people to live in the Hui land, and for the Tang people to marry a Hui woman or for a Hui man to marry a Tang man. If at that time, Hui Hui and Datang have a close relationship and are the same,"
Zhang Xuan laughed, and Guli Peiluo also smiled, but his eyes flickered a little.
What Zhang Xuan said is beautiful, but it is actually impossible to achieve, in the opinion of Guli Peiluo. Guli Peiluo can allow some Hui women to make friends with the Tang people in the form of intermarriage, but will never allow the Hui and the Tang Dynasty to achieve large-scale intermarriage, because this will damage the national foundation of the Hui.
Therefore, Guli Peiluo's smile is actually a bit of hypocrisy.
Zhang Xuan knew what Guli Pei Luo was thinking, but he didn't take it to heart. Because he knows very well that at a certain time, the integration of nationalities is the trend of the times, and no one can stop it.
However, Guli Pei Luo thought about it again, Zhang Xuan suddenly mentioned the matter of intermarriage, could it be an allusion?
Judging from Guli Peiluo's values and position, there must be a reason why Zhang Xuan took the initiative to show favor to Hui Su.
Guli Pei Luo pondered, and his deep gaze gradually fell on his daughter Su Hudong, who came with him. Out of the corner of his eye, he found that Su Hudong was staring at Zhang Xuan with a thoughtful eye, and his heart was even more moved.
He originally wanted Su Hudong to marry Guo Ziyi's son to consolidate the relationship between Hui and Longshuo. Now that the marriage contract between Su Hudong and Guo Yang has been dissolved, if Su Hudong and Zhang Xuan, the governor of Longshuo, can be married, it will be a sure deal for Hui Hui.
This person is only a weak crown year, and he is already in a high position, holding the military and political power of a town, and he is already a duke. In time, it will definitely be the king to worship the prime minister, and Su Hudong marrying him will not be considered an insult to the identity of the princess.
Over the years, there have been countless Hui magnates who have married their daughters to the Tang Dynasty as concubines, and it is not surprising that Guli Peiluo has this idea.
Thinking of this, Guli Pei Luo smiled, looked at Zhang Xuan eagerly and said loudly, "Dadu Governor, my daughter Su Hudong is thin and graceful, Dadu Governor is the most handsome among the people, Ben Khan intends to marry Dadu Governor, I wonder if Dadu Governor can give Ben Khan this face, let you and I kiss each other?" ,”
The Hui are nomadic after all, and the Hui people are bold and speak more directly. As soon as Guli Pei Luo said this, Zhang Xuan was taken aback, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled subconsciously, he never expected that this time Su Khan would actually propose to marry him in person, and offered his youngest daughter Su Hudong as a gift.
Su Hudong, who was sitting there silent, was also shocked when he heard the words. However, she did not show any shyness, but looked back at her father Khan with some shame.
Women have no status among the Hui people, and most of the daughters of the Hui powerful families are the product of political marriages, although Su Hudong is the youngest daughter of Guli Peiluo, but it is no exception. Whether it is Guo Yang before or Zhang Xuan who is proposed in person now, this is the case.
But Su Hudong is not an ordinary Hui woman, xìng is bold and has a strong sense of rebellion, otherwise she would not have run away from marriage in the first place.
Although Su Hudong also has a good impression of Zhang Xuan, he only thinks that this young Tang Dynasty minister is quite kind to the Hui people, and he is far from the level of liking. Seeing that her father Khan once again gave himself as a gift to the Tang people, the shame in her heart can be imagined. @。
