Text 819 Monarch and Minister
The remaining five edicts: Mengwei edict, Yue Xi edict, Langqiong edict, Xuan Zhi edict, Shi Lang edict, since Li Hong ordered Mengshe edict, that is, Nanzhao King Xinu Luo summoned to Taihe City, Li Hong did not summon these five edicts at the first time. ~with~dream~small~say~щ~suimеng~lā
This also made Xinuluo always worry about whether Li Hong would take the lead in summoning the king of the five edicts before their six edicts made peace, so as to achieve the division of the six edicts The worry was completely eliminated.
Xinuluo was very afraid that Li Hong would be summoned by Li Hong one by one after the five edicts arrived in Taihe City, so that among the other five edicts, it was very likely that there would be people who would defect to the prince for the benefit of their respective tribes.
Either for the benefit of his own tribe, or in order to be able to replace him and become the lord of the Six Edicts, in short, the Six Edicts are suspicious of each other and secretly fight with each other, and after Li Hong arrives, it is impossible to unite with the outside world.
However, Li Hong did not take advantage of this opportunity to achieve the goal of dividing the six edicts, but after the five edicts came to Qi, he ordered them to take the lead in the peace talks of their own affairs, and did not even participate in their peace talks, choosing to avoid suspicion.
This made Xinuluo's heart immediately flutter, and he began to feel that Li Hong and the Tang Dynasty arranged it like this, indicating that among the six edicts, they valued their own Nanzhao the most.
In this way, it also made Xinuluo once again increase his confidence and confidence on the issue of tribal leadership with the other five edicts, and even in the peace talks of the six edicts, Xinuluo returned to his usual arrogance and domineering, and did not have a good face for the tribes who did not agree with him as the leader of the six edicts, and even threatened and intimidated them in the name of Li Hong.
"Your Highness, you are so assured that they will negotiate internally on their own, so you are not afraid that they will unite against you? These people have never been easy to get along with, especially when it comes to the interference of foreign forces, and they have always been able to disregard their own interests, immediately reach a consensus, and twist into a rope to confront external forces. Liu Yanyou poured tea for Li Hong, the breeze in the back garden slowly blew with the fragrance of flowers, and the white clouds above his head were not close at hand, which was quite an artistic conception of a fairyland on earth.
"That's right, where is the problem of the reason why the people are the people?" Li Hong turned to the tea handed over by Liu Yanyou, and Hua Meng, Cheetah, Shock, and Mangzhong stood in the four directions of the pavilion, vigilant not to let others approach here.
"This ...... The reason why they are foreigners is because they don't understand the etiquette and morality of our Tang Dynasty at all, so that there is nothing that can restrain their daily behavior, and they have formed a problem like the Anxi herdsmen, who only rely on force in their hands to solve problems. Liu Yanyou really couldn't answer this question clearly, so he had to say something that he could summarize in the past few years.
"Yes, whoever has a sharp knife in his hand is the boss, so my Datang's horizontal knife is not sharper than theirs? Why haven't we been able to become the real rulers here? Why are they always attached to us, and there is always the possibility of reversing? The battle between them needs force, and to fight with my Datang, we want to give them half of the force, and half of our kingship thinking. The reason why the people of Chang'an City are the people of Huawai is because we have not spread our Chinese culture here, so how could those Confucian sages in Chang'an City come here to spread their doctrines?
They look down on the people from the bottom of their bones, and the other is that they have already been spoiled by the royal family, and they are reluctant to leave the gentle township of Chang'an City to come here for fame and fortune, because their fame and fortune have long been earned enough by their ancestors, they just need to keep their family tradition and let their descendants continue it, they have been fame and fortune for nearly a thousand years, how can they still work hard for greater fame and fortune, lobbying and learning?
As for whether my Tang Dynasty is expanding its territory or benefiting the people, does it have a lot to do with them? As long as they are above the court, figure out the emperor's thoughts, and when the emperor needs them, follow the emperor's thoughts and say a few words, and then wait for the scholars in the Central Plains to come to the door for learning, and select some smart people to teach them, even if they have completed their ancestral tasks, how can they really think about the royal family?
If it was really for the sake of the royal family, they should have perished with the Former Sui, Former Jin or Great Han Dynasty! But the former Sui and the Han have disappeared into the river of history, but they are still able to be active by the side of the imperial power, why is this? It's a bit insulting to say that it's a grass on the wall, but what do they have in their hands that can make the dynasty change in the long river of history, but they are still fine? ”
Li Hong looked at Liu Yanyou, who frowned again, thinking about his words but couldn't speak, and continued to say lightly: "Because they have the doctrine of imperial power in their hands that even the royal family lacks, the royal family needs their doctrine to consolidate the country that they have worked so hard to fight. How many of the founding monarchs were pedantics and talents? Aren't they all from the battlefield to lay down the country? It's me Datang, isn't it the same? As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country and the country is difficult to defend the country, isn't it that after the country and the society are in hand, they are at a loss and don't know how to manage it? So at this time, what the royal family can think of are the Confucian sages who can only talk on paper? Hoping to rule the people of the world through their doctrines? ”
"Therefore, Your Highness, you think that if you want the land of the Six Edicts to be controlled by my Tang Dynasty like the Central Plains, you must let the people of Huawaiyi accept the ideas of Confucianism and sages, integrate our culture into their blood, and ...... The idea of imperial power infiltrated into their minds, so that they could get rid of the constraints and constraints of the imperial court, for example, by Xinuluo, so that the imperial court could govern the six edicts like an arm? Liu Yanyou's eyes lit up, in fact, to put it bluntly, His Royal Highness the Prince's meaning is already self-evident.
Then it is to replace the fine nuluo and others with the Tang people, and become the officials of the land of the Six Edicts, and then add the indoctrination of Confucianism and the idea of imperial power, so as to make the territory here truly become the territory of the Tang Dynasty once and for all, just like Tibet and Anxi, and now the people only recognize the Tang culture and only regard themselves as the Tang people.
"That's what it means, so now in Chang'an City, those Confucian sages are probably already crying for their fathers and mothers, and it won't be long before they are willing or degraded, there will be a lot of Confucian sages here, using their doctrines to consolidate the influence of my Tang Dynasty here, and spread the essence of my Chinese culture." Li Hong smiled, and saw that in the distance, many other officials of the Five Edicts, with some women who were obviously well-dressed, were standing in the corner, waiting to see him. "Your Royal Highness is wise, every time the minister goes back to Chang'an City to report on his work, he will be ridiculed by them, and some people will even say that the minister is the capital protector of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate from the second grade, in this barren mountain and wild land, but he is as happy as a prince, alas...... But even so, when the minister said that they were welcome to come, they were silent, so if those people were able to come, the minister would be happy in his heart, and let them see this place as if they were really as happy as they stood and talked without backache. Liu Yanyou followed Li Hong's gaze and fell on a bunch of people in the distance: "Your Highness, ...... is this?" ”
"This is the answer you want, the Sixth Zhao King is negotiating in the palace, and the Five Zhao King is beginning to please me, those beauties, and the boxes in the hands of the officials, must have been prepared for me. So just looking at their overt and covert actions, do you think they will still unite regardless of their previous suspicions? Li Hong motioned to Hua Meng to go over and let them leave, he was not interested in those women who wore gold and silver and were dressed in flowers.
After all, at that moment just now, looking at the past from afar, I am afraid that none of those women can be more than fifteen or sixteen years old, they are all dry and wood-like figures, and they have not fully matured, and they have begun to be used as political donations to public relations the Tang Dynasty.
"When the power is so strong that they can't fight even if they join forces, they will automatically crack and they won't unite as before. It's just that this poor mountain and bad water out of the people, the people of the land of the six edicts have always been unreasonable, arrogant and bastard, the folk customs are also extremely strong, when Ma Zai first arrived, he was chased by the people of several small villages, with a woodcutter chasing all over the mountains and wilderness, and even when he ran back, his shoes were lost one, and the embarrassed appearance was never seen in his life. And when the minister asked Ma Zai the reason, Ma Zai was confused, and he didn't know ...... he offended them with that sentence. ”
"This is normal, it is true that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and it was not the same in Tibet and Anxi back then, but ten years later, I dare not say that all the folk customs have changed to simplicity and bravery, but most of the people have not begun to have the side of the people of my Tang Dynasty? Folk customs, folk customs can be preserved, and can even be encouraged, whether it is fierce or aggressive, but barbarism is not advisable, the invisible power of Chinese civilization, is born for this, the role of Confucianism, that is, to eliminate barbarism, unreasonable behavior, the Chinese civilization planted here! Li Hong waved his hand, motioned for Liu Yanyou to get up, and walked out of the palace with him through the back door of the palace.
Liu Yanyou raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that there was no one else around the prince except for the four eunuchs of Hua Meng, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he was stopped by Li Hong and found an entourage to accompany the two of them to Taihe City.
Walking in the streets and alleys of Taihe City, Li Hong specially picked a place that can overlook the entire Taihe City, between Cangshan Mountain and Wuzhi Peak, it was originally a top-down slope, so along the winding alleys in Taihe City all the way up, after walking for a short time, you can stand at the foot of Cangshan Mountain and look down on the entire Taihe City.
Without waiting for Li Hong to speak, Hua Meng immediately took out two binoculars, one handed to Li Hong, and the other naturally handed to Liu Yanyou.
