Chapter 650: Huayi's Debate
Li Xiu went out of the main hall to look for Wei Zheng, but he didn't expect to suddenly hear a quarrel from the corner in front of him, which made him a little strange, after all, on this happy day, who would quarrel here so blindly, so he took a few steps forward, but before he saw anyone, he heard an angry voice roaring: "Wei Zheng!" Don't be forceful! ”
"I think the person who is strong in words should be Zhongshu Ling!" Immediately afterwards, a voice that was very familiar to Li Xiu also said loudly, it was Li Xiu's old boss Wei Zheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Am I strong in words? According to what you said, if the Turks are moved to the Henan area, do you know how much pressure it will bring to local security, and without the Turks, there will be one less barrier in the north of my Tang Dynasty, will you wait for the other steppe people to go south, will you Wei Zheng personally go into battle to drive them away? At this time, I only heard the angry voice shouting again, and although I didn't see anyone, I could feel his anger in his tone.
From Wei Zheng's title just now, Li Xiu already knew that the person who quarreled with him must be Wen Yanbo who supported the Turkic people in the grassland, speaking of which, he had seen the other party before, but he was not impressed, he didn't expect his temper to be so hot, and he dared to quarrel with Wei Zheng head-on, Li Xiu felt inferior to himself with this courage alone.
Li Xiu originally only wanted to find Wei Zheng, but since Wen Yanbo was also here, Li Xiu also wanted to meet him, so he strode forward, and after turning the corner, he immediately saw Wei Zheng arguing with an old man with gray hair.
"Wei Zuocheng was originally here, and I have been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be here in the middle book, and you are polite!" Li Xiu stepped forward with a smile at this time, interrupting the quarrel between Wei Zheng and Wen Yanbo.
Wei Zheng and Wen Yanbo were also stunned when they saw Li Xiu coming over, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, but they all snorted coldly, and then greeted Li Xiu respectively, this time Datang was able to destroy the Turks in one fell swoop, and Li Xiu, the logistics manager, also made a great contribution, so they couldn't be too rude to Li Xiu.
"Wei Zuocheng, Zhongshu Ling, I heard you arguing about something just now, I don't know why?" Li Xiu asked knowingly at this time.
"Don't act, don't act, the proposal to move the Turks to the south was the first one you suggested to Your Majesty, it just so happens that the three of us have different views, and it can be regarded as fate to meet here today, why don't you argue about it?" Wei Zheng still had that straight temper, and he pierced Li Xiu's words at once, which made Li Xiu quite embarrassed, in fact, he was also to blame, Wei Zheng's temper was not unknown to him, so there was no need to turn around just now.
"Don Ma, you suggested that the Turks should be allowed to open up the wasteland in the south, let's not talk about the fact that after the Turks are missing, our Datang will have one less barrier on the grassland, according to your method, if these Turks are gathered and sent to the south, what if they make trouble? And how to manage so many people? And how to solve the conflict between these people and the locals? Have you ever thought about these questions? Wen Yanbo is also a very direct person, and immediately sent a complaint to Li Xiu.
"Zhongshu Ling, it will indeed be some problems to settle the Turks in the south, but according to your suggestion, it seems that the Turks will be organized and placed in the area of Monan and act as a barrier for my Datang, but have you thought about it, the Turks have caused public anger in the grassland, and now the Turkic strength has been greatly reduced, and putting them on the grassland will only attract the siege of other tribes, and the Turks are afraid of power but not virtue, and now that my Datang is strong, they naturally dare not have two hearts, but if the strength of the Turks recovers in the future, Or when my Datang's strength declines, won't these Turks become my Datang's henchmen again? Li Xiu also argued without concession at this time.
"Yes, although I and the horses have differences on the location of the Turks, but the opinions on this point are very consistent, as the so-called people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, the ambitions of the Turks and wolves, must not be taken lightly, only by moving them to the country, let the Turks disappear completely, so as not to leave the Turkic problem to future generations!" Wei Zheng also agreed with Li Xiu's words at this time, and said loudly at the moment.
"Ridiculous! Who said that to completely solve the problem of the Turks, we must move them inward, after we settle the Turks in Monan, we can also send officials to manage and educate them, and after the defeat of the Turks, if you want to gain a foothold in the steppe, you must rely on our Datang, as for the resurgence of the East Mountain, it is even more difficult to climb to the sky, instead of worrying about these problems, it is better to worry about all kinds of troubles caused by the internal migration of the Turks! Wen Yanbo was not so easily persuaded, and still insisted on his opinion at the moment.
"Hmph, those who become big things are not informal, in order to completely solve the Turkic problem, even if they encounter some trouble in the early stage, it is nothing, not to mention that after the Turkic people moved inward, life and death are all controlled by us, and they can't make any big waves!" Wei Zheng said-for-tat again at this time, although he and Li Xiu also have differences, they are only small differences in the internal position, so at this time, they are naturally unanimous with the outside world.
"What Wei Zuocheng said is extremely true, although the internal relocation will bring some troubles, but now that my Tang Dynasty is strong, I am not afraid of these troubles at all, so it is better to completely solve the Turkic problem now, in contrast, Zhongshu Ling's method will leave great hidden dangers for future generations!" Li Xiu also echoed Wei Zheng's words at this time.
Seeing Li Xiu and Wei Zheng dealing with one of them, Wen Yanbo also knew that he would not be able to take advantage of this confrontation at all, but he still refused to admit defeat, and when he flicked his sleeves, he said angrily: "The Tao is not the same, and we will fight for victory in the court when we come to the next day!" ”
Wen Yanbo turned around and left after speaking, after all, it was a loss for him to stay here, it was better to leave early, and he was sure that as long as he left, Li Xiu and Wei Zheng had different opinions, and maybe the quarrel would be even worse.
Looking at the back of Wen Yanbo leaving, Wei Zheng also snorted coldly, in fact, they have had countless quarrels like this, and each time they have their own opinions and arguments, this time it is thanks to Li Xiu's assistant that he has the upper hand temporarily, but when he arrives in the court, I am afraid that Wen Yanbo will still insist on his opinion.
"Donkey, Wen Yanbo is gone, we can talk about the internal migration of the Turks!" Sure enough, Wei Zheng immediately turned to Li Xiu at this time, it seemed that he had already wanted to have a good chat with Li Xiu.
"Okay, in fact, I came to talk to Wei Zuocheng about this matter, but I'm curious, why did Wei Zuocheng have to settle the Turks in the Henan area?" Li Xiu also nodded at this time, he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
"The Turks have been messing with my Central Plains for a long time, from the time of the Northern Qi and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Turks have become a big problem in my Central Plains, just now the horse said that the Turks are afraid of power and not virtue, which is also a fact, now our Tang Dynasty has defeated the Turks by force, but this is still not enough, we must educate these Turks with etiquette, so that they can completely change their barbaric habits and become a part of my China, and then there will be no Turks, which can completely solve this problem."
Wei Zheng paused when he said this, and then he spoke again: "The Central Plains is the origin of my China, the folk customs are the most simple, and the education of the saints is also the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so only by moving the Turks there can they be sinicized in the shortest possible time. ”
Wei Zheng's words directly blinded Li Xiu, and it took him a while before he reacted, and then said incredulously: "Wei Zuocheng, Turks are Turks, you don't really want to turn them into Han people, do you?" ”
Li Xiu was influenced by nationalism since he was a child, so in his heart, the Han people are the Han people, and the Turks are the Turks, although he was the first to propose to move the Turks inward, but he did not regard the Turks as his own people at all, but wanted to treat the other party as an organization such as the Wasteland Reclamation Army, to help the Tang Dynasty reclaim wasteland, and by the way, to consume the population of the Turks, which is his biggest purpose.
"Why can't the Turks become Han Chinese, as long as they follow the etiquette, speak Han Chinese, and wear Han clothes, they will naturally become Han Chinese!" Wei Zheng took it for granted at this time.
"I see!" Li Xiu suddenly screamed when he heard this, and finally understood what the biggest difference between himself and Wei Zheng was.
In fact, Wei Zheng's words also represent the Confucian definition of the nation, that is, the Huayi debate, according to Sun Tzu and Mencius's definition of Huaxia, the so-called Chinese people are actually people who follow Chinese etiquette, and those who do not follow Chinese etiquette are called Yi people, and in their opinion, as long as Yi people obey Chinese etiquette, they will become Chinese people, and if Chinese people abandon Chinese etiquette, they will become Yi people, that is, Chinese people and Yi people can actually be transformed into each other.
Wei Zheng's definition of Huayi is not only distinguished from blood, even if it is a blonde and blue-eyed Hu person who follows Chinese etiquette, he will be regarded as a Han by them, in contrast, Li Xiu is judging a person's nationality from blood, and these two judgments on the nationality do not matter whether they are high or low, but the angle is different, which also makes the two of them have a huge difference from the beginning, and it becomes even more difficult to convince Wei Zheng.
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a contemplative expression, and he didn't know what reason to use to persuade Wei Zheng for a while?
