Chapter 437 Political Opinions

At the beginning of the Mi Zhai and Sun families, there were other beautiful concubines in the palace of the King of Jin, and Xue Chongxun closed the door for three days to thank the guests, and it was not surprising that he indulged in indulgence. In fact, there is nothing fun to have fun in this era, it is nothing more than the sound of dogs and horses, birds and insects, gambling and the like Xue Chongxun is not interested at all, and the polo and so on are too tiring, he just came back from Anbei Town and has no thoughts, what else can a woman do when he stays at home and rests except playing? Drunk and gold-obsessed, everyone is "empty".

But after a few days, he had to retract, and when he came back, he went to Daming Palace to see Princess Taiping once, and then he had to contact the courtiers, otherwise it was not a good thing that everyone would not see anyone all the time.

Walking out of the house to the pro-kingdom not far from the next door, Xue Chongxun only felt groggy for a short time, his mind had not yet recovered from all kinds of wanton joyful states, his mind was blank, and he could hardly think about business. This state made him go back to his student days in his previous life in a trance, and he always couldn't read the textbook when he picked up the textbook when he went back during the holidays.

However, as long as you sit in the front hall of the pro-kingdom for two days, even if you don't do anything practical, you can look at the official documents sent by the officials, and your mind can slowly calm down and find your state. That's what he thought. "Erling" hasn't come back yet, Xue Chongxun fortunately didn't go all the way with them, otherwise it would be boring to walk back slowly for that thousand-mile journey.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I don't feel cool in the morning. Xue Chongxun walked into the front hall of the "Feng Man Building" to deal with official business, passed through the open hall on the second floor, and entered the study inside. Unless there are many people on some occasions, Xue Chongxun basically does not stay in the open hall, where the space is too large, and sitting there alone is like staying in the wilderness, and there is no sense of security. He sat down in front of the bookcase and found that the window on the wall next to him was covered with a veil, and the scenery outside was not so clear, but it should be able to prevent mosquitoes.

At this time, someone from the pro-kingdom official office came in and said: "Longyou Jiedu made Du Xian enter Beijing to report on his work, and he just arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday, and he first came to the pro-kingdom to ask the prince if he has returned." I told him that the prince was in a hurry on the road, and although he had arrived in Beijing, he had to rest at home for a few days, and asked him to send someone to inquire today and tomorrow. ”

"I see." Xue Chongxun replied casually.

After waiting for the officials to go out, he sat quietly for a while, and said in his heart: Du Xian is still a good person. recalled that on the battlefield against the enemy Tubo, Du Xian actually saved Xue Chongxun's life. At that time, the Battle of Helong was approaching, and Du Xian led the Hexi soldiers to gather in Shanzhou, but Xue Chongxun had already taken the first step in a light cavalry raid (to rob Princess Tuguhun), and encountered an interception on the way back. Although rescuing the boss is the job of the line general, if you encounter that kind of unconscious person who comes too slowly, where can you catch up?

Therefore, Xue Chongxun was grateful when he met Du Xian after the war, and asked him to serve as the envoy of Longyou Jiedu to deal with the affairs of Tibet, promising that he could become the prime minister once there was an improvement.

Xue Chongxun recalled the incident of Helong, and pondered for a moment and said: Du Xian returned to Beijing this time, could it be that he has already had an effect on dealing with Tubo?

If Du Xian really did a good job, Xue Chongxun was really willing to promote him. The love of revenge is not the main reason...... The power field is not a river and lake, what kind of righteousness to talk about, as long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, ungrateful; The main Du Xian has the meaning of getting closer, such a talent who can fight and has a political mind and can take charge of one side alone, Xue Chongxun has no reason not to win over.

Sure enough, he heard that Du Xian was coming that morning, so Xue Chongxun asked someone to invite him to the kingdom to talk.

After a while, Du Xian arrived at the door of the study, and although Xue Chongxun did not have a palace to greet him, he also stood up from the chair and hugged his fists to meet him, which was very face-saving. I saw that Du Xian was wearing a Xizhou cotton shirt with a cloth towel tied on his head, dressed like a common person, which made Xue Chongxun feel a little surprised. In the summer, well-to-do subjects do not like to wear hats, and it is common to wear a headscarf in a bun, but it is necessary to wear a hat on formal occasions, such as the court, no matter how hot it is.

Du Xian's face is still white and rich, a gentleman is fat, and his facial features are also very thoughtful, not like a person leading soldiers, but Du Xian originally took the road of literary examination. Xue Chongxun said in his heart: He has been in Helong in the Western Regions for many years, and it is rare that he has not tanned.

"I just arrived in Chang'an the day before yesterday, and I didn't have time to go to the court, and I heard that the king of Jin was returning, so I came to visit by the way, and I didn't dare to put on an official robe for fear that my colleagues would not see it well, and I hope to forgive me if I was not dressed properly." Du Xian said.

Xue Chongxun said in his heart: Didn't you come the day before yesterday? Also said by the way. And as soon as he came back, he didn't see anyone, and he didn't go to the court to report on his work, so he first ran to the pro-kingdom in a cloth suit, which in itself was a sign of clinging to the powerful.

However, after all, Du Xian is a cultivated and decent person, even when expressing his own attitude, he can be so quiet and decent, and he will not show his obscene words and deeds in a low voice. Xue Chongxun believes that this is completely a technical work of the above-mentioned people.

Xue Chongxun smiled: "What do you and I care about those small sections? Sit down and talk, come on, watch tea! After a while, he asked again: "This time Du Gong went to Beijing to report on his work, must there be progress in Tibet?" Your merits will definitely be recognized by the imperial court. ”

Du Xian said: "I don't dare to take credit, all of them were decided after the battle of Wuhai, the king of Jin." I barely did anything, and I collapsed myself in Tibet. Last winter, after losing a large number of cattle and sheep, it was very difficult for Tibet to survive the winter, and the population was sharply reduced. In addition, the defeat in the war stimulated the internal contradictions that had previously been concealed by expansion and plunder, and the civil strife intensified. Lang Mei Se served as the chief commentator, supported the young Chi Cong Zampu to inherit the crossbow weapon, and accused the end of Dong Zebu of killing his predecessor Zampu and wanted to punish him; The Mo clan was unwilling and refused to go to the city of Luo. Thus it became a civil war, robbing each other of cattle and sheep property...... However, I also played some indecisive role in this, such as winning over the Mo clan and giving him ideas to raise the status of Buddhism in order to gain the support of the tribes who were persecuted by the Bon. ”

Xue Chongxun nodded suddenly and said, "Buddhism is a good thing for Tibet. ”

Du Xian said: "However, the strength of Luo Some City is the strongest in Tubo after all, and the Mo clan is not supported, and it has a connection with the Tang Dynasty Longyou, so he has repeatedly asked to defect to the Tang Dynasty and move inward to avoid the pressure of Luo Some City." After the death of the Qinling of Tibet, his people were accused of treason and slaughtered by Tubo Zampu, and the rest also moved to the territory of the Tang Dynasty and became one of our detention states. This time, I went to Beijing to tell the court about this matter, and let the government affairs hall decide where to go. ”

"Moving inward again? Why do we want to occupy the land of Datang? Xue Chongxun blurted out without thinking, and almost showed his attitude in one sentence.

At this time, Du Xian unconsciously remembered the matter of Nanzhao, because the battle of Nanzhao was fought by the eunuch Yang Siqiao, and Du Xian paid more attention to this eunuch, so he knew the ins and outs of Nanzhao's affairs clearly. Yang Simian is a eunuch who is very good at fighting and has done a lot of victorious things, Du Xian feels that it is rare for a eunuch to have this ability, so he pays extra attention and knows a lot.

In Du Xianam's view, the battle of Nanzhao was completely an unnecessary war, but it was just a good luck to win, and the southern country with inconvenient transportation and full of miasma was really so easy to fight (it should be a parasite in the ancient south, and the ancients thought it was caused by miasma). The Nanzhao people did not declare a rebellion, and they have always been more pro-Tang, but they were ambitious to encroach on the neighboring left, and as a result, they just conquered such a small area as Heman, and they attracted the Tang Dynasty army...... Du Xian analyzed Xue Chongxun's motives at that time, probably because he was unwilling to merge with the surrounding ethnic groups, and dividing and conquering was his political strategy.

So today's Tubo, although allowing the Mo clan to move inward can further weaken the strength of the remnants of Tubo, but it allows the Tubo state to regain its unification; Let the Mo clan continue to split with Luo Qicheng is more in line with Xue Chongxun's strategy of "divide and rule"! Coupled with the sentence that Xue Chongxun blurted out just now, Du Xian's judgment was even firmer.

In fact, whether it is to let the pro-Tang Shaomin move inward, or to divide the discord, each policy has a reason and evidence, but the method is different. Du Xian didn't feel that he had to choose any national policy, and he wanted to express his political views for the only starting point: to conspire with the superiors. Otherwise, if you don't have the same way, what can you do with others?

Thinking of this, Du Xian no longer hesitated, and said with a very natural expression: "In my opinion, it is indeed not much beneficial to move inward, so the Mo clan sent people to ask several times, but I did not agree to him. However, Tubo has been a problem for the Tang Dynasty for decades, and it is a matter of national policy, so I dare not refuse without authorization, so I have to go to Beijing to explain the truth in detail and let the princes of the court and China make the final decision. I myself think that leaving the Moshi to contain some of the cities and then divide and rule them strategically is the best way......"

"What a divide and conquer!" Sure enough, Xue Chongxun was greatly used, and praised, "Du Gong is indeed a visionary talent, and our views really coincide." ”

Du Xian's heart was happy for a while, and he hugged his fists and said with a look of honor and disgrace: "King Jin is too famous, I dare not be it." ”

Xue Chongxun said: "The country is in the autumn of employing people, if there are more far-sighted people like Zhang Xianggong and Du Gong, the world will be ruled by the arch!" When you go to the Asari to discuss the matter, you just have to let go of your hands and explain your opinion, without filtering. In the past, Zhang Xianggong foresaw that the reform of the military system was imperative, and I thought so, so he insisted on the plan despite public opinion, and today it has achieved results...... The truth is in the hands of a few, not in the hands of others. ”

"What King Jin said is extremely true."

At this time, Xue Chongxun was a little more thoughtful about letting Du Xian enter the court to take real power, originally planned to make him a prime minister like Li Shouyi, who knew right from wrong but did not have the real power alone, and now he didn't want to make a decision on Du Xian's placement for the time being...... The reason is that there is already a general Cheng Qianli in the court, and Cheng Qianli also happens to come from the Helong military in the Western Regions, and the two ministers have achieved fame in the west, so what do the generals of the other border passes think?
