Chapter XXXV. Proposed establishment of the United Nations

The king saw that Wang Shao had brought a Tibetan person, and saw that this Tibetan person was dressed gorgeously and magnificently, and he had already thought that he was an important figure in Tibet. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info heard the name of Ali Gu, Wang Bi immediately thought that this Ali Gu was the adopted son of Tubo Dong Yu.

Ali Gu was originally a Khotanese (now Hotan, Xinjiang), not a descendant of the Gang Guy, and his mother, Mu Blind, was once Dong Yu's concubine, so Dong Yu treated Ali Gu as an adopted son, handed over internal and external political affairs to Ali Gu, and trusted Ali Gu very much. Ali Gu is also extremely filial in front of Dong Yu's wife Qiao, and he is deeply favored by Qiao, so Ali Gu's prestige in Tubo is also very high.

And Wang Bi knew about Ali Gu, but also because of the visit of Lu Zhisheng when he was in Yongzhou. When Xuanqing and Jia Qing gave advice to Emperor Dali Duan Silian, and proposed the imperial sister Duan Su to the two heavyweights of Tubo and the Great Song Dynasty respectively, one of them was Wang Fang, and the other was the adopted son of Dong Yu, Ali Gu.

Wang Fang has always been curious, he knows the reason for refusing this proposal, but he doesn't know why Ali Gu also refused. Later, Wang Pan saw Dong Yu's own son bullying Ding, and the appearance of bullying Ding made Wang Bian very annoying. Love the house and Wu, and hate the house will also be Wu, so the king is even more lazy to know why Ali Gu refused this proposal. At that time, it was better to have more than one thing to have less, and this matter was put down.

I didn't expect to see Ali Gu today, so that the king's eyes lit up. Dong Yu's adopted son Ali Gu and his parents are simply worlds apart, there is one of the thrones, Ali Gu is noble, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an authentic royal family.

The king said politely: "I don't know that the prince of Tubo has arrived, and I hope that Prince Ali Gu will forgive me!" ”

Ali smiled generously and said, "I heard that Zichun wants to see the prince, and he has a special horse to follow him." The name of the prince has long been like thunder, it should be my sudden visit, the prince should not mind. ”

Seeing that his words were very sincere, his eyes were very friendly, and he also showed this respect for himself, he was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly invited everyone to sit down, and ordered someone to invite Yue Li to come and see him.

It turned out that Wang Shao received the letter from Wang Bei, so he led the team to collect the troops, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Ali Gu who assisted him and led Tubo to attack Xiliang Mansion in Western Xia. I heard that Wang Bi was in Zhenrong, Ali Gu had long wanted to see Wang Bi, originally when Wang Bi was in Yongzhou, he wanted to go but never had the opportunity. This time, I happened to take the opportunity to accompany Wang Shao to the capital to receive the reward, but when they arrived, Wang Bei had already set off, but fortunately, the army was slow to return, and Wang Shao and Ali Gu and their entourage caught up with the team next to Wang in a few days.

Hearing that Ali Gu came to see him on purpose, Wang Bi was even happier. "I have already negotiated with Emperor Dali, and I plan to hold a four-state meeting in Yongzhou this year. Originally, I also planned to end the affairs of Western Xia, and then arrange a specific time and send someone to make a special trip to Tubo, but I didn't expect that Prince Aligu would come to my Great Song Dynasty in person. ”

Ali Gu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Four-state talks? What are the four states? What do you want to talk about? This series of questions was clearly of great interest in what the king had to say.

Wang said: "Since it is in Yongzhou, it is naturally my Great Song Dynasty, as well as the Guibang Tubo, Dali and Jiaozhi on the border with Yongzhou. What we want to talk about is the signing of a border trade agreement in Yongzhou, and this trade agreement is for everyone to abide by together, and if one state violates it, it will also be sanctioned by the other three states. I don't know if Tubo is interested in my proposal, but when Prince Aligu returns to Tubo, he can discuss it in detail with King Dong Yu. ”

Ali Gu laughed when he heard this: "I heard that the king of Zhennan is in Yongzhou, opened a field, ran a bank, opened a sea transportation, and made a lot of new deals. I came to the Great Song Dynasty this time because of my father's order, to learn and operate with the prince. I've wanted to visit you myself for a long time and ask for advice. As for the talks between the four states, I think it should be a good thing. Not only will I participate in Tibet, but I will also participate in person. When will this be held? Will the prince be there at that time! ”

The king looked at him confidently, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that the history books said that Ali Gu would become the king of Tubo in the future, and judging by his speaking demeanor and decisions, he was the master of most of the major and minor affairs in Tubo at present. "That's natural, I'm definitely going to be. The time for the meeting was set for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when I returned to the capital to deal with the matter at hand, it was time to go to Yongzhou. ”

Ali Gu said: "If the prince doesn't mind, I want to go to the capital with the prince, and when I receive the reward from the Song Emperor, I will return to Tibet first." Let's see you in Yongzhou in the Mid-Autumn Festival, what do you think? ”

A few more people went along, and of course Wang Bei had no opinions. Moreover, this Ali Gu's words and deeds are very generous and decent, which makes the king appreciate it a little. The army stayed overnight, and every time they set up camp, Ali Gu would go to the king's tent to visit, and the two were already very familiar with each other in a few days. Ali Gu is also very studious, and often discusses some statecraft and economic and financial policies with the king.

When Wang was in Dali, the four-state talks that Wang said to Duan Silian were only preliminary intentions at that time. After this period of careful thinking and analysis of the current situation of various dynasties, especially this time when Yelu Hongji of the Liao Daozong followed his example and let the Western Xia borrow, he felt that it was extremely important to implement a standardized monetary system as soon as possible. And judging from the situation of the countries in front of them, it is not possible for the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State to fight alone. Sooner or later, the borrowing between the Liao State and the Western Xia would become a risk, both in terms of currency and border security.

He wouldn't say this to Ali Gu, but he could tell Ali Gu that a unified currency is good for all states.

Wang Pan has already set up a plan for the four-state talks, that is, he will set up a fund that will unite the states to discuss monetary affairs among the countries and provide credit support for the short-term balance of payments deficits of the member countries. At the same time, it is necessary to use the Song banknote to be pegged to gold, and the currencies of member countries to be pegged to the Song banknote.

Regarding Wang Fang's thoughts, Ali Gu repeatedly asked for advice to figure out how to peg and how to exchange rates. He scratched his head and asked, "Lord Wang, I don't seem to understand what you said." But there is one thing I know, let's just say that I Tubo coins, in ancient times, shells or dzi were used, and since Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married into Tibet, we only began to mint coins. But as far as my Tibetan copper coins are concerned, there is no way to buy the products of the Great Song Dynasty or Dali. Therefore, there will be people who will exchange gold and silver, and in exchange for it, and there will be less and less gold and silver. You said that if this method can make me Tubo have no shortage of gold and silver, I will support it. ”

Wang Bian knew that this set of theories was indeed a bit difficult for the ancients to understand, so he smiled slightly and explained in a different way: "If your country's currency is pegged to the Song banknotes, you can directly exchange them for Song banknotes at a certain rate, and the Song banknotes can be used in various states, and they can be exchanged for gold and silver. Do you support it or not? ”

"Yes! Must support. ”

The king said to Ali Gu in a provocative tone: "If Prince Ali Gu supports it, then I believe that after this meeting of the states, it will be of great benefit to Tibet." Think about it, now that we are united, you Tubo, my Great Song Dynasty and the first few states that made the alliance are permanent members. Since then, we have formulated various agreements on currency and border trade, which are the rules. For example, the Western Xia, Ryukyu, Cochin, Goryeo, and Liao kingdoms want to join our united organization, so they must abide by the rules we have set. Isn't it also a lot of good for Tibet? ”

Ali Gu's eyes lit up, the thoughts of this king are really different from ordinary people. The hegemonic heart of the ancients is nothing more than to make a son of heaven in the local dynasty, and the idea of the king is simply to ask the alliance leaders of the states, and this alliance leader seems to be fighting for the interests of the dynasty. He clapped his hands and admired: "No wonder I often hear that your thoughts are astonishing, Lord Wang! If it weren't for the need to go to your Song Capital first, I would like to go back to Tubo immediately, and rush to Yongzhou after handling the affairs of Tubo! ”

"Hehe, what's the hurry? It just so happens that you will go to the capital with me this time, and I will let you bring back to Tubo the terms of the documents prepared by the order, and you can discuss specific matters with your Tubo king! ”

Ali Gu patted his chest: "Don't worry, as long as I think it's feasible, it will definitely be done!" It's been a long time to be with you! If the prince doesn't dislike me, I'm willing to form a friendship with the prince. So saying, he raised his glass and said to the king.

Since Wang Pan returned to the Song Dynasty, he has almost become accustomed to it, and he has become righteous at every turn, and now he has formed several righteousnesses, such as Wanyan's impeachment of Libo, such as Gao Zhisheng, and then Li Liangzuo died. Thinking of these names, Wang Bei's head is big, fortunately he didn't marry Zhao Ji and Yelu Hongji, then the world will be his buddy brother in the future.

And this Ali bone is indeed a person that Wang Pan admires very much, and if Wang Pan wants to implement the United Nations plan, there must be such a powerful party to do it together. Over the years, under the leadership of Jiaoguoluo, Tubo has firmly mastered the Hehuang region, and now the throne has passed to Dong Yu, and he was also awarded and canonized by the Song Dynasty, cooperating with the Song Dynasty's anti-summer struggle. Nowadays, the economic and cultural development of the Tubo River is very prosperous. The society was relatively stable, and agriculture developed considerably. The Tibetan people are better at making bows and crossbows and swords, and the armor they make is "impossible to enter with a strong crossbow".

Of particular interest to Wang Pan was the resurgence of the Qinghai Ancient Road from the late Tang Dynasty, which brought great wealth to Tibet. Back then, Wang Fang persuaded Li Liangzuo not to fight the idea of Jiaoluo, but Li Liangzuo did not listen to the advice and returned defeated. Now the future king of Jiaoguo Luo is in front of the king, and he is pulling the king to settle the righteousness, how can the king not be happy?!

"Good! This king can't ask for it! The king stood up as he spoke, but Ali Gu said, "Then come and worship officially!" ”

Then, Zhang Ping went to get the red paper and wrote out the "Jinlan Spectrum" for the two to write down their names, birthdays, places of origin and the names of the three generations of their ancestors, and then put the tablets of heaven and earth, and according to their age, they burned incense and bowed in turn, and read the oath together.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank again, talking and laughing. When the banquet dispersed, Wang Shao entered the big tent next to the king and asked in a low voice: "Lord Wang, I heard that you are a brother?" ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Wang looked at Wang Shao with a smile and a slight drunkenness.

"Have you forgotten this? I offer a flat strategy, and if you want to go to Western Xia, you must first take Hehuang. When the time comes, you're going to turn your brothers against each other. ”
