Chapter 423: Welcome to the Battle
What he needs is also a hundred schools of thought, and the more sects, the better.
Calling him the Buddha of the West Heaven and the Buddha of the East Earth, this teaches that one.
The more they come, the more they will participate in containment, and the more stable the imperial power will be.
As long as he does not create a cult that is unfavorable to the imperial court, he can tolerate it.
Turpan sighed.
"Your Majesty, what you can't see is the most important thing. What you see now is that the Western Heavenly Buddha was suppressed by the Eastern Earth Buddha Daomen, but in fact, the Western Heavenly Buddha is extremely powerful and evil.
They only need one call to gather many followers, just like India wants to attack the Great Wei, isn't it because the Western Heavenly Buddha was bullied in the Great Wei?
Li Xingchen smiled, "So what, we have to fight, I am not against war." ”
Even if there is no Western Heavenly Buddha, he believes that the war that should come is indispensable, and it is just that the reasons for the war are different.
Hearing this, Turpan's face froze, and he heard that Li Xingchen meant that he was not afraid of the other party coming to fight, and even welcomed him to fight, which was really arrogant...
Great Wei has arrogant capital, but Turpan does not have such strength.
They can't borrow the Tao, and they don't dare to borrow the Tao, and once they borrow the Tao, they will definitely be taken advantage of by India, resulting in the ruin of the country and the destruction of the family.
As a powerful minister, the prime minister will not allow this kind of thing to happen.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do so that you are willing to cooperate with our country in the fight against India and the elimination of the Evil Buddha?"
I want to cooperate, get straight to the point, and talk frankly about the announcement!
Li Xingchen didn't go around the bend with him, and said in a deep voice: "The strength of Great Wei, Turpan should be clear, and he doesn't disdain to cooperate with any country."
Since you have a country, it is better to bow down and be a vassal state of the Great Wei. In this way, if India wants to send troops to borrow the road, it is equivalent to borrowing the road from the Great Wei, and the Great Wei naturally cannot tolerate it. ”
Turpan's pupils shrank.
A vassal state is a vassal state, and it is weak in rank with the vassal state, such as the relationship between the emperor and the vassal king, one king and one minister.
The Great Wei is too powerful, and becoming a Great Wei vassal is equivalent to having a strong backer, but it is not impossible.
After a moment of silence, the Turpan Prime Minister asked, "May I ask Your Majesty Great Wei, if you agree to this condition, what obligations does my country need to travel?" ”
There is no free lunch in the world, there must be requirements, otherwise why would Great Wei want to protect Turpan?
"I don't know this very well for the time being, but the imperial court has a clear rule, which probably means that the country has the obligation to protect the subject state.
It is also possible to send troops to garrison the subject country at will, and the subject country needs to provide annual supplies. ”
He didn't know the specific rules very well, there were hundreds of rules, and he remembered them all.
Turpan, as a vassal state, can pay money every year, and he is still happy.
The Prime Minister of Turpan couldn't make his own decision, so he said: "I have to write to my king on this matter and ask him to judge." ”
When it comes to national sovereignty, he does not dare to agree lightly.
Li Xingchen nodded.
As long as Great Wei has the right to station, it is equivalent to his right to appoint and dismiss the king of Turpan.
He should study and study the specific rules, delete some things that are not good for his country, leave the good ones, and add a few of his own ideas to them.
After saluting, the Turpan minister turned around and left, after which Li Xingchen immediately summoned the prime minister and others to inform them of the matter.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were actually quite disgusted with the subject states, because they were not of much use.
If something goes wrong with the subject country, it has to help. Let them pay tribute, push three and four.
Appointment and dismissal, that's even more of a joke. You say yours, I do mine, and the subject countries will not listen at all.
"In the past, it was a face-saving project, but from now on, what we want is practical benefits, and the rules and regulations must be greatly changed."
"Your Majesty, think again." The prime minister wrinkled his eyebrows.
This matter is very big, and it is difficult to guarantee that Turpan will not become a burden, and I believe that other civil and military forces will also have different ideas.
There are many ministers in the court who want to save face and suffer crimes, and it is okay to suffer some losses themselves, and the face project must be done sufficiently.
For example, if they are asked to ask the subject country for money and goods, they will be ashamed, and would rather work hard to protect the subject country than charge a penny of silver.
Therefore, it is more difficult for them to agree that Turpan will become a vassal state than to ascend to the sky.
"It's okay for everyone to have their own ideas, but this matter has already been decided."
The human heart is unpredictable, and man is a thinking animal with his own thoughts. When you become an official, you will have more ideas, and you will pursue different things, some for the country and the people, some for money, and some traitors.
But this matter, Li Xingchen thinks it is right, so even if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have opinions, he is not afraid.
Their advice can be used to change the terms of the subject state, rather than trying to discourage others all day long.
Fortunately, there are not many of these old rotten people, and they can't set off the storm.
The Prime Minister nodded, "Your Majesty is wise." ”
The Ministry of Industry Shangshu and others were embarrassed, and they became vassal countries, so it was not good to talk about profits, and the terms were not changed just as they were changed.
But listening to Li Xingchen's words, they knew that they would not be persuaded to do so.
The current emperor, in their eyes, said the same, based on authority, he made a decision and persuaded him, calling it contempt for Long Wei and committing a crime.
This is the image of a wise and martial artist formed by Li Xingchen's accumulated prestige all the time, and the height given to him by countless correct decisions.
Therefore, what he said and decided in the court was almost just a notice, not a consultation.
Soon, the matter was agreed by the ministers of the court.
The high-level officials above the third grade began to study the treaties of the subject countries one by one, abolishing the useless, improving the ones that could be used, and even adding those that were beneficial to their own countries.
A few days later, the Turpan minister also came to report that the king of Turpan had agreed to become a vassal state of the Great Wei.
This was a big event, and the two countries jointly announced to the outside world, and the surrounding countries quickly learned about the situation.
Turpan Tu Buddha Hall.
When the big bald donkey learned the news, his face was extremely ugly, and he quickly asked the little bald donkey to go to the palace and call the king of Turpan over.
"My king, reason."
His voice trembled, and his anger was not light.
The king of Turpan sneered, "Master, political affairs are the king's business, and you have exceeded the rules." ”
Seeing him like this, the king of Turpan was extremely excited. Finally, I saw that the old bald donkey was not calm.
Okay, that's a pleasure.
"The affairs of the court are the affairs of the people of the world, although the poor monks are pure, they are also the people of Turpan, and the poor monks oppose the king's practices." The old bald donkey looked at him.
I really can't figure out how the other party made this decision.
Moreover, many of the princes and ministers were their own believers, and they were very pious, so why would they agree to this foolish decision, and they did not even come to inform themselves.
In this regard, he was very unhappy, and even felt that the king of Turpan was becoming more and more impenetrable and a little out of control.
The surrounding countries of Great Wei.
"Turpan is too much, I'm afraid the original alliance was an illusion. None of the 70,000 allied troops of the Seven Kingdoms survived, while only one or two thousand of the 50,000 cavalry of Turpan died. ”
"Isn't it obvious? This is a game between Turpan and Dawei, which is deliberately trying to trap us. ”
