Chapter Seventy-Five: No Harmony
Since the Han Dynasty, in order to ease the relationship between neighboring countries, especially the northern grassland peoples, the Central Plains Dynasty has sent Central Plains women out in the name of harmony countless times to ensure the short-term peace on the border. Although countless literati and writers have whitewashed the harmony, they still cannot hide the shame caused by this behavior.
From the Western Han Dynasty to marry the first daughter in the name of the princess to Mao Dunshan Yu, until the early Tang Dynasty, there have been dozens of princesses married to the grassland, these poor women for the so-called national righteousness, not only to marry away from home, to serve the rough grassland barbarians, but also to put down all self-esteem, endure the vice of the father and son, and finally under the blow of the grassland wind and sand, a flower-like Han woman, just withered away from home thousands of miles away from home.
When Xu Yang was reading the history books, he had a strong dissatisfaction with the practice of the emperors of the Central Plains, the fortune of a country, it was actually in exchange for sacrificing the happiness of women, such a national fortune was too nesty, until reading the history books of the Ming Dynasty, I felt that the original Chinese history was not a dynasty without hard and iron-blooded, the Ming Dynasty was one, among which the Ming ancestors can see the arrogance of the original people: the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty: no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.
Although the Tang Dynasty was strong, it has never been broken off for the matter of harmony, but compared with other dynasties, the Tang Dynasty, especially the early Tang Dynasty, was stronger, for example, the Han Dynasty's harmony was generally because it couldn't beat others, so it offered women to pray for peace, while the early Tang Dynasty was completely different, which is also related to Li Er's character.
Li Er is an arrogant and even somewhat arrogant emperor, and his character determines that Datang will never exchange women for peace, so Datang generally cripples and subdues the other party. even directly destroyed the other party, and then Li Shimin would come forward and marry the daughter of the sect to the other party in the name of the princess.
However, in Xu Yang's eyes, no matter what the purpose is, as long as it is a relationship. That is a kind of weak and incompetent expression, which is using a woman's happiness as a bargaining chip in exchange for a short period of peace, and such a shameful peace is not as good as the pleasure of the First World War, so Xu Yang expressed strong opposition to Li Er's behavior of marrying his daughter to Songtsen Gampo.
In fact, Xu Yang's opposition. It is not for nothing that the princess entered Tibet and brought with her a lot of advanced technology in agriculture and industry, which made the productivity of Tibet rise sharply, and soon grew into the most powerful opponent of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Er's laissez-faire. It also gave Tubo a chance to develop rapidly from the side.
During the reign of Li Zhi, Tubo, whose minions had been sharpened, began to compete with the Tang Dynasty for the control of the Western Regions, and even threatened the security of the Silk Road on land, which directly led to the second war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, but contrary to the result of the Battle of Songzhou, this war with Tubo was the biggest defeat in the foreign war since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. And this is the famous battle of Dafeichuan in history.
The Battle of Dafeichuan not only caused the Tang Dynasty to lose the four towns of Anxi, but also lost its control over Tuyuhun, making Tuyuhun another part of Tubo. It greatly increased the strength of Tubo, and although the Tang army recaptured the four towns of Anxi, it also stopped fighting with Tubo during the period, which greatly consumed the national strength, and even later, even Chang'an had a record of being captured by Tubo. Such a shame and humiliation are almost all guided by Li Shimin's policy of harmony.
Although today's Tuguhun has been subdued by the invincible Tang Dynasty. The advanced equipment of the army of the Tang Dynasty of Xu Yang is also very confident, but Xu Yang does not dare to guarantee it. A hundred years later, Datang is still able to rule these barbarians with a strong attitude.
Therefore, Xu Yang made a perfect plan, that is, he must stop Li Er's idea of making peace, and take advantage of the fact that Tubo's current scientific and technological level and people's education are extremely low, and launch an attack.
But just when Xu Yang wanted to go to the palace again to face the holy invitation, he was sick, feverish, dizzy, and spoke with a thick nasal voice.
This frightened Liu Mengli Box and Jin Shengman, and hurriedly found Liu Dongliang and Cai's to see what kind of illness the husband had.
Xu Yang lay on the bed in a daze, looked at Liu Mengli who was worried in front of the bed, and struggled to say, "Don't come near me, husband, this is a cold, it will be contagious, just call someone to serve." Xu Yang was also burned and confused, and it didn't matter if Liu Mengli knew what a cold was.
As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, Xu Yang has been in Datang for two years, and his health has been very good, but if there is no minor illness for a long time, he will be seriously ill, and this serious illness is really going to be his own life, some fever in the morning, and it will be aggravated in the afternoon, and in the evening, the whole person is hot like a soldering iron, and the body has an unnatural red.
Lang Zhong in Zhuangzi has prescribed medicine, but it still does not get better, seeing Xu Yang who is burning and talking nonsense, Liu Mengli is a little messy, plus the little heavenly thing has been crying non-stop, it is really upset, and finally the older Cai Shi said a way, go to Nanshan Academy to ask Sun Simiao to take a look, Liu Mengli is like grabbing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ordered Liu Qi to ride a horse to Nanshan Academy and invite Sun Simiao Daoist to come.
When Sun Simiao heard the news that Xu Yang was sick and cold, instead of being anxious, he smiled and came to Xujiazhuang with a few little disciples carrying medical bags.
Ordered someone to take out the alcohol used for disinfection, then stripped Xu Yang naked, and wiped the alcohol to lower his body temperature.
With the evaporation of alcohol, Xu Yang's body temperature really dropped, Sun Simiao fed him a few more tablets of penicillin, and finally prescribed some prescriptions to clear heat and relieve the fire for him, Xu Yang's body temperature really did not rise again, and the whole person fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at the sleeping Xu Yang, Liu Mengli and Jin Shengman hurriedly thanked Sun Simiao, but Sun Simiao waved his hand without caring at all and said: "This method of clearing heat and detoxifying is still what Guiguzi told the old man at the beginning, and now you can test it on Guigu, the world is really wonderful, you two don't have to thank you anymore, Xu Yang's illness is not a big problem, it's just that he hasn't been sick for a long time, and this illness is also urgent, if it's okay tonight, it will be back to normal tomorrow morning." ”
Liu Mengli didn't know how to thank him, he kept thanking him, and warmly kept Sun Dao for a long time before leaving, which also made Sun Simiao a little overwhelmed, standing at the door, Sun Simiao shook his head and said: "The old man and Xu Yang have a deep friendship, the secret art of the ghost valley is supremely wonderful, in the end, this kid is still half of the old man's master, if you thank him like this, the old man will not dare to come next time." This made Liu Mengli and Jin Shengman stop thanking them.
The power of alcohol and penicillin was immediate, and the next morning, Xu Yang woke up from his sleep, although his body still felt a little weak, but there was no major problem.
Liu Mengli stayed by the bed all night today, and was woken up by Xu Yang's movement, and when she saw Xu Yang sitting up, she cried with joy, and hurriedly ordered someone to call Jin Shengman, and at the same time brought breakfast.
Xu Yang ate fritters, drank soy milk, touched his mouth, he was really hungry, he was sick yesterday morning, he didn't eat much at noon, and he didn't even drink saliva at dinner, looking at the two pairs of concerned eyes at the head of the bed, Xu Yang said with some pity: "Mengli, Shengman." It's a bad thing for the two of you to worry. ”
Liu Mengli had just finished crying, and at this time there were still some pear blossoms with rain, and she sobbed: "Husband, you can't scare the concubine like this next time!" ~”
"Mm-hmm, not next time." Xu Yang had no choice but to coax her.
Jin Shengman was much calmer than Liu Mengli, he just brought his little hand up, touched Xu Yang's hand with concern, and called his husband lightly, Xu Yang also nodded, and said softly: "You have also worked hard." ”
After breakfast, Liu Dongliang, Cai, and Mrs. Liu all came to inquire about Xu Yang's condition with concern, and only after learning that everything was fine did they give some condolences before leaving.
When Xu Yang was lying on the bed reading the newspaper, someone suddenly came to report, and the cow, who had not been seen for a long time, arrived at the village and asked to see him. (To be continued)
