Chapter 0221: Escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Ang visited Li Shizhi at the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and repeated what he had said to Gongsun Jingyu to the Left Prime Minister Li Shizhi.
After Li Shizhi listened, he looked at Li Ang and was silent for a long time.
Li Ang didn't expect him to react like this, and said with some embarrassment: "Xianggong, the student knows the truth of not being in his position and not seeking his own government, but the matter of supporting Persia is not a simple government, in fact, this is a major event related to the inheritance and spread of Chinese civilization." We scholars should take on the important task of establishing our hearts for heaven and earth, establishing our lives for the people, continuing our studies for the saints, and opening peace for all generations. ”
When Li Shizhi heard this, he was once again deeply shocked by Li Ang. He suddenly hit the case, and said with emotion: "What a person who has a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a saint to continue learning, and peace for all generations!" Oh of the sun! On the foundation of scripture and learning, you still lack something, but when it comes to this open-mindedness and insight, and the spirit of responsibility, you can't do it as well! As long as time is added, the achievements of the day are unlimited! ”
"Students are young and shallow, how dare they compare with each other, students are afraid!"
"Hahaha...... Don't talk about any more trepidation. As the king of Ruyang said, you have never been afraid. ”
Li Shizhi was emotional and happy. He marched to the emperor, asking for a wide range of words and recruiting talents for the imperial court. Li Linfu said to the Son of Heaven that in the world of the Holy Ming, there are no sages left behind.
Now, talents like Li Ang are still left behind in the people, and in Li Shizhi's view, it is the most powerful response to Li Linfu.
"You don't have to be humble, O Sun, go on. Go on! ”
If both the left and right factions can be persuaded to support the restoration of Persia, then there will be little resistance to this matter. Leon is still very concerned about this matter. He really didn't want it because of the influence of other religions. caused cultural differences and made the Western Regions a source of chaos.
"Mutual recognition, cultural identity, this is the cornerstone of a country's stability. Our Datang Dynasty implements a policy of freedom of belief, while Dashi uses the will of the state to forcefully promote their religious beliefs. In the competition between the two major civilizations, our Chinese civilization is really at a disadvantage;
Especially in the Western Regions, my Datang's control is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Since Taizong, the four towns of Anxi have risen and fallen several times. This is a historical fact. In this case, sooner or later, the Western Regions will be invaded by the religion of the Great Cannibals;
At that time, without cultural identity, it will be even more difficult for me to continue to rule the Western Regions, so the students think that it is very necessary to support the Persian Kingdom as a barrier to block the religious invasion of Dashi.
Xianggong! This matter is related to the long-term peace and stability of the Western Regions for thousands of generations. In this matter, the students did not have any selfish intentions, and they were completely for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the Western Regions. ”
Li Shizhi bowed his head and said: "What the sun says." Very reasonable. As far as I know, Persia and our Central Plains dynasties have a good relationship record, and our Tang Dynasty has always been interested in supporting the restoration of Persia;
If Cyrous really had to self-finance. The self-built army is used to restore the country, and I Datang is happy to see it. Now I've listened to the words of the Japanese seat. This is also in favor of giving Persia some assistance within the limits of his ability. ”
Leon listened. Chang Yi said: "Xianggong understands the righteousness and is far-sighted, which is really a rare good appearance for my Tang Dynasty!" ”
"Hahaha......... Oh the sun, stay in my house tonight and have a few drinks with the prime minister. Are you deliberately hiding from your true nature these days? Li Shizhi deliberately straightened his face and glared at Li Ang dissatisfied.
"How dare you, how dare you! There are many opportunities on the public day, and students don't dare to disturb too much. Li Ang hurriedly explained, besides, these days, most students are in the Western Market, mainly to ask the merchants of the Western Regions about the situation of the Great Food Country. Don't hide it from the public, after these days of hard work, students have gained a little about the big food country. ”
"Oh? Let's talk about the day, what are your unique insights on the Great Food Country? ”
Li Ang bowed his hand and said: "The Great Food Country is a country with a wider territory than my Tang Dynasty, they believe in the Great Food Religion, and implement the rule of the integration of politics and religion, under the rule of the Great Food Sect, all those who do not believe in the Great Food Religion are denounced as infidels and subjected to all kinds of unequal treatment;
Their king was called the Caliph, which means the one who rules on earth on behalf of the prophet, and as such, the caliph is both a secular ruler and the supreme spiritual leader of the Great Food Cult.
However, the Great Food Sect is divided into Sunni and Shia, and the contradictions between the two factions are very acute and difficult to reconcile, and there will be riots from time to time, so that the rule of the Great Food Country has been in a state of instability for many years.
I have heard from the Great Eaters that there are now riots in the country, sectarian killings, and the Caliph is no longer able to control these conflicts.
Therefore, the students dare to assert that the current white-clothed food will surely perish within a few years, and then there will be a process of competing for the deer. Of course, it is also very likely that there will be a strong man who will rise quickly to replace the current white-clothed food.
In any case, this is a great opportunity for the Persians who are bent on recovering their country, and I have heard that their god of light has appeared, and I believe that it will be easy for the Persians to support.
As long as I can help the Persians train three or two thousand elite soldiers and horses, and even send one or two generals who can fight well to help them lead the army, and take advantage of the chaos to kill the Persian homeland, the students think that there is a great chance of helping Persia successfully restore the country.
Once successful, the influence of our Great Tang Dynasty will rapidly expand to Persia, and at the same time, the Western Regions will also have a reliable ally, and at the same time, Persia can be used as a barrier to prevent the Great Food Sect from invading eastward. Take 10,000 steps back, even if it doesn't work, my Datang has nothing to lose.
To feed the army, it is up to Cyrus to raise his own food, and we only send one or two generals to help him train the army and command the battle. Such a small benefit is a big thing, and it can show my Tang Shengde, why not do it? ”
"Good! Very good! Hahaha......."
Li Shizhi knows very well that although the emperor is getting tired of politics now, he is getting better and better. Especially according to Li Ang's analysis, Datang doesn't have to pay too much, once it succeeds, it will have great benefits, and things that can increase the glory of the emperor must be in line with the emperor's wishes.
Whoever proceeds according to this may be able to get a lot of rewards under the great joy of the dragon face, and at the same time, he can also leave a far-sighted and extraordinary impression in the emperor's heart.
For Li Ang, Li Shizhi liked it more and more, and he really wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law.
Li Ang accidentally came into contact with his "affectionate" gaze, and he couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart, don't mind, brother doesn't have a habit of breaking sleeves, withdraw, hurry up!
"Xianggong, what the students should have said is finished, this ......... The students are still a little anxious, and they will come back to listen to Xianggong's teachings in the future......."
"Sun, don't be in a hurry!"
Don't go anywhere! (To be continued.) )
