Chapter 887: Crooked Reasoning

The two of them didn't sleep all night, and Li Xiang was originally going to let the two rest, but when the two walked to the door, Li Xiang suddenly remembered another thing.

"In the course of your investigation, can you detect that someone has a disobedience to my Datang?"

Both of them had already walked to the door, and when they heard Li Xiang say this, they immediately turned around.

To tell the truth, if it were anything else, the two of them might still have doubts, but there was really no doubt about this matter, no one in the entire Nanzhao Kingdom was disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, which was also some of the confusion between the two of them about Li Xiang's policy, why are people so respectful to us, and we still have to take them down here, and it is not bad to strengthen the rule as a vassal state.

"When I went back to Your Highness, I didn't find out."

Qian Ping is not a simple person, he turned out to be the chief eunuch of the East Palace, and later after following Li Xiang, his observation ability has also increased a lot, since he has answered so, it must have been nothing to discover.

Zhang Jiuli next to him didn't say anything, which means that people didn't find it either.

"Do you think I'm too domineering?"

Li Xiang knows what the two of them think in their hearts, so they must eliminate their doubts, if they keep going with this doubt, it may be bad in the future, it is related to the eternal foundation of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang does not dare to slack off.

"The subordinates don't dare."

Both of them are Li Xiang's subordinates, and to put it bluntly, they are both leading the team to make meritorious contributions, who dares to discuss Li Xiang's gains and losses at this time? If one sentence is wrong, the devil knows what the outcome will be.

"It's normal to have doubts, I can also see that it's just like what happened to Tuyuhun back then, everyone thinks it's okay to force Tuyuhun to surrender, but I think it's okay to occupy them, vassal states and real Tang territory, if I had to choose, I would still choose the real Tang territory."

Li Xiang wanted to talk to them well, but suddenly thought of the limitations of these people in this era, even if you tell them that they want an outlet to the Indian Ocean, these people probably don't know where the Indian Ocean is, in short, let them understand that there is no harm in occupying here.

Regarding the matter of Tuyuhun, now the whole Chang'an has spread the word, fortunately, our Royal Highness Taisun made a quick decision, otherwise how could there be so many cheap war horses now? Although Tuyuhun is still a vassal state, the entire Tuyuhun is under the management mechanism of the Tang Dynasty, and Tuyuhun's royal court is just a puppet.

And after a period of Li Xiang's southern and northern wars, the people of the Tang Dynasty also felt that instead of setting up a so-called vassal state, it was really better for us to strengthen our rule, and treat this place as the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it would be much more convenient to do things in the future.

In addition to the formal management of the original leader, all other military affairs are managed by Datang, which can not only make a peaceful transition, but also not give them too much power, which is of great benefit to Datang.

When the two went back to rest, Su Dingfang took on most of the things, and yesterday they were still discussing the affairs of the temple, and today Nanzhao arranged for Li Xiang to prepare to meet their national teacher, Master Jinghong.

Li Xiang had long heard that this person was a famous Buddhist master in the southwest region, and it is said that he once went to Tianzhu to listen to the sound of Buddhism.

"If His Highness is unwilling to go, I will return to them."

After Su Dingfang finished his report, he knew that Li Xiang was unwilling to meet these religious figures, according to Su Dingfang's understanding, these people were purely demagoguery, and in addition to sucking the blood and sweat of the common people, they did not play any role, they were nothing more than a tool of the ruler.

Li Xiang also told them before that it was not to prevent the common people from having similar beliefs, but that they could not let such beliefs go beyond a person's normal life, and if they went beyond normal life, then the imperial court would crack down on such beliefs.

"Why are you pushing me? This is a respected attained master, but you put on a full throne, so you must let everyone know that this king also believes in Buddhism. ”

When Li Xiang said this, Su Dingfang's eyes widened, even if he was beaten up now, he didn't believe that Li Xiang believed in Buddhism, the days of our contact were not short, where did you have a relationship with Buddhism?

"Didn't I say what kind of expression you have, isn't it possible that I don't look like a Buddhist believer?"

When Li Xiang saw Su Dingfang's expression, he felt that his self-esteem had been hurt, you were clearly suspicious of Lao Tzu, and you didn't cover it up.

"Your Highness, people who believe in Buddhism don't kill, what are we doing? How many people did we kill along the way from Tuyuhun to Goguryeo? If you say that others believe in Buddhism, maybe I will pinch my nose and recognize it, but if you say you, you will kneel in front of that temple for a month, and I don't think the Buddha will dare to have a believer like you. ”

After Su Dingfang's words were finished, many people in the room wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, but what Su Dingfang said was the truth, Buddhism pays attention to not killing, and there are all kinds of good thoughts, but this has nothing to do with Li Xiang.

"You know a fart, wine and meat have passed through the intestines, the Buddha stays in your heart, you can't be on the stage in your life, hurry up and reply to someone's letter, don't look for a fight here."

When Li Xiang said this, Su Dingfang still read it twice in place, and the words were a good word, but it was a little uncomfortable to listen to, and it seemed to be a strong word.

When he walked to the door, Su Dingfang came back to his senses, our Royal Highness must be the same as before, and he doesn't know much about Buddhism, the reason why he put on such a big battle is to let the people of the entire Nanzhao see that the Tang Dynasty also advocates Buddhism, there is no problem with your current belief, and you must continue to study in the future.

Historically, when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she also carried exquisite porcelain and a large number of Buddhist books, in order to let such a place vigorously develop religious beliefs, as long as you put a lot of comprehensive national strength into it, then how can your country not weaken?

Although it may not be visible for the time being, but with the advancement of time, this belief will consume a large part of the national strength, but the formation of faith is not a day, but it is not a day to want to get rid of it, and when the rulers find out, they find that they are powerless and can only go with the flow.
