Chapter 355: Talking about peace
Li Shengxi was not in a hurry to return to Beijing, and during the period of staying in Wangzhong, Li Shengxing also did one thing - to receive the envoy from Xirong.
Xirong officially surrendered, and various matters still needed to be finalized, so Linxi asked Li Shengxi to take charge of handling the matter, and Li Shengxi did not refuse.
It's just that Linxi's side also sent some officials over. Among them are two attendants of the Ministry of Rites, as well as a Wangzhong Mansion Yin.
Wangjing, originally called "Wangzhong", because it is the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it is called "Wangjing" and "Wangdu". And now since it is not the national capital, it is naturally changed to the state capital. Some time ago, Li Shengxi had been thinking about the candidate for Fu Yin, but he didn't expect Linxi to send one now.
Faced with this behavior of almost picking peaches, Li Shengxian only felt a little funny, but he didn't care much.
Li Shengxi treated these officials as usual. After the imperial court officials visited Li Shengxi, Li Shengzheng only left a few officials from the Ministry of Rites. The peace talks with Xirong were already prepared by Li Shengxi in advance.
Of course, the help of Mrs. Liang Guo is indispensable. When Jiang Muyi was asked to translate the classics, Li Shengxi talked to her about these things by the way. Jiang Muyi immediately proposed several ideas. Li Shengxun heard that it was feasible, so he asked Jiang Muyi to integrate it, and after Li Shengxun modified it, he directly showed it to the two attendants of the Ministry of Rites.
Waiter of the Ministry of Rites: "......"
Okay, then they will help with the wording, anyway, Li Shengxi is already so perfect.
The policy formulated by Li Shengxi in the treaty was actually not much oppressive for Xirong, on the contrary, compared to the economic benefits brought to Xirong by the opening of the Jin Gate, this idea was nothing at all.
But......
King Xirong wants to be familiar with the Jin classics, what is the matter with the annual routine exam?
They are nomads, and now they are called to read and write, and they have to take exams!
Giving preferential treatment in trade is not that Li Shengxi wants to give preferential treatment to Xirong, but that Jin wants to recuperate and prepare for another war, so he naturally wants to paralyze Xirong.
As for the other requirements, she has already given them such a big discount financially, so how about taking a test every year when you come to King Jin?
Feeling ashamed? Why don't you feel ashamed when you surrender?
Facing the questioning of Xirong's envoy, Li Shengxi directly wiped his Chixiao Sword in front of several people.
The Xijon people suddenly stopped talking and decided to go back and think about it. When he returned, he immediately repaired the book to King Xijon.
King Sijon wanted to refuse, but he thought about his situation...... Okay.
But if you tell me to study, I can't teach myself without a teacher. So King Xirong asked Li Shengxi to send a few teachers over.
For this, Li Shengxi readily agreed.
It's just that as soon as this matter was said in the Jin Dynasty, everyone closed their mouths and didn't speak, and went to teach the barbarians to read, which is outrageous.
That's a barbarian, a brutal killing, what if you die? However, Li Shengzheng promised that he would call someone to lead 30,000 troops and escort them into Xirong, and he would definitely not let them have an accident.
Only then did the civil servants feel more relieved. As for whether Xirong Tong disagrees, it doesn't matter, anyway, there are many ways for the Jin army to go to Xirong, so he can't disagree.
However, although there was no shortage of great Confucians in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was indeed a lack of talents who were proficient in the classics and proficient in Xirong dialect.
So at this time, Li Shengxi recommended Jiang Muyi and Zhou Lingwang again.
The courtiers had different opinions. A Zhou Niangjiang girl is a girl, and the king of Xirong seeks a teacher, but the big country sends a girl over, which inevitably hurts her face too much. Secondly, one of these two people was born in the Zhou family, and the other was the queen of Northern Qi.
However, Li Shengxi did not argue strongly for the two, even though the two have literary talents, but there must be a transcendent Confucianism in the country, and it is meaningless to argue strongly at this point.
Li Shengxun directly stated his point of view, Jiang Muyi is very proficient in Xirong language, and she only goes for translation, not as a main teacher. Li Shengxi handed over some books from Jiang Muyi and Zhou Lingwang to Linxi, and after everyone read it, the discussion on this matter was much smaller.
Since it's not a canonical history, it's just a person who helps with it, so it doesn't hurt to be a girl. After all, over the years, under the influence of Li Sheng's attack, the courtiers were not as unacceptable as they used to be to have women in the court.
Only a cowardly dynasty would think about how to suppress girls to improve their status as male rulers.
Under the Zhongxing of Emperor Hongxing, Jin has gradually become stronger, and under the conquest of Li Sheng, expelling Xirong and conquering Northern Qi, there is no opponent on the territory, and they still have this self-confidence. There are not many old stubborn people like King Li who "have a long-term vision".
And even King Li did not object to this matter this time. First, because this matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two states, and in major national affairs, King Li is not confused. The second reason is that this candidate is not easy to choose. It is not easy to find a person who is proficient in foreign languages, knows the culture of his own country, and has the courage to be an envoy.
In short, the two ended up standing in two places.
As for the candidate for the "Teacher of the King of Xirong", the Northern Qi Dynasty finally selected the former prince and the current secretary of the Ministry - Xiao Jingping.
He was originally a great Confucian in the dynasty, although he was in a high position, he was even more proficient in literature. Some time ago, the history of the country was just revised, and the post of secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu was actually a false title for a long time. Plus, he also knows a little bit of Xijon. In either respect, this is the right person.
After a few months of tossing, this matter is settled.
The reason why Li Shengxi chose Jiang Muyi and Zhou Lingwang was not only because they were proficient in Xirong and good at Central Plains culture.
What's more, Li Shengxian took a fancy to Jiang Muyi and Zhou Lingwang's political ability to respond on the spot, whether it was killing Guan Zhi or overthrowing Emperor Yuan Jia, he could show the resourcefulness and courage of the two.
With them here, Li Shengxi also believes that they will be able to make a significant difference when she raises troops again.
Before the envoy, the two came to see Li Sheng once.
They came up with new ideas.
Jiang Muyi opened his mouth and said: "The concubine is good at Xirong language, and Ling Wang is quite literate, and the concubine wants to establish a library outside the customs to compile Xirong books and spread the culture of our dynasty." ”
Li Sheng's attack was not allowed again, which also shook the hearts of the Xirong people, but Li Sheng's attack was different from his behavior back then.
Although this may be difficult to carry out, we must always try our best, even if it is not possible now, and when Li Sheng's army is attacked and marched westward in the future, the two states will be integrated, and it will always be continued.
In the end, in October, Li Shengxian led 30,000 troops and embarked on the road to Xirong with Xiao Jingping, Jiang Muyi, Li Shengzheng and others.
