Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2506 Correcting the route
In Fang Jun's view, the split of the Guanlong nobles may be just around the corner.

Changsun Wuji's unscrupulous and crazy shots, Dugulan's posturing and anticlimax, and even Gao Shilian's change of course and finding another way out, all indicate that the Guanlong nobles are facing a great crisis within, and perhaps their disintegration is not far away.

His Majesty Li Er will only use indirect methods to promote the intensification of the internal crisis of the Guanlong nobles, but he will not easily intervene directly.

After all, in the heart of His Majesty Li Er, the position of Zhongdong Zheng is unparalleled, and no one can shake it.

At this point, it is not easy to discuss in depth, otherwise it will be suspected of "trying to figure out what is right". With Li Chengqian's cautious character and awe of His Majesty Li Er, he would never dare to do such a thing...

Li Chengqian then changed the topic and asked curiously: "Erlang came to remonstrate with the emperor, and put all the inside and outside of Chang'an city under martial law, and controlled all entry and exit. He said that he was preparing a grand ceremony for the opening of the academy. But he didn't know this What is the appearance of the ceremony, and it is so exciting?"

Martial law in the capital is not easy in all dynasties.

If it wasn't for some great event in the DPRK, such a policy would never be adopted easily, otherwise it would cause wild suspicions and confusion in the local people...

Speaking of this, Fang Jun couldn't help being a little proud: "In two days, the opening ceremony of the academy will be held, and His Highness can come and observe it in person. It is unheard of in the world! Even if it is in the history, I am afraid that it will leave a strong mark, which will shake the past and make the present, and it will be deafening, but it is the case! Of course, in fact, the martial law in the capital is actually unnecessary, but it is just that the humble minister has an audience with His Majesty. It was a method used by the Tubo envoy..."

Then he explained the situation in the Western Regions to Li Chengqian in detail.

Especially Tubo's schemes, and the fact that he sent people to delay Lu Dongzan's itinerary along the way, forced him to delay his entry to Beijing, and the news of the delay to the Western Regions was finally sent back to the capital, which made Datang go on this journey. In the negotiations that have not yet started, the initiative has been taken...

Li Chengqian didn't know that there were so many details behind this incident. After listening silently, he said with emotion: "Erlang is really the pillar of the country! It's just that even though Tubo has no shame and took advantage of the fire to rob, in view of the dangerous situation in the Western Regions, I agree to his request." That's fine, why bother to go to such lengths?"

Martial law in the capital is not as simple as sending some soldiers to guard the city gates and strictly prohibiting people from entering and leaving.

Chang'an is the undisputed heart of the empire. Politics, military, and economy are all the center of the empire. How can the losses caused by the martial law in these days be a small amount?It's better to just give Tubo a little benefit, to appease him and just sit on the sidelines, thinking that it's worthwhile to fund and assist the dispatch of troops, what's the use of all these thoughts, a little carelessness can even cause turmoil in the court?

Fang Jun held the pot and filled the wine glasses in front of the two, took a sip from the wine glass, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, what do you think the Tubo people want to gain by taking advantage of the fire this time?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and said: "Could it be that the old matter is brought up again, and we want to get married again?"

Fang Jun patted the table lightly, and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, that's exactly what happened! At that time, the situation was critical. If Tubo people blatantly rejected Tubo, the Tubo people would dare to send troops to cut off the Anxi army's retreat, or even cut off the entire thread. Way! And in the study of His Majesty, there is still the words "no marriage, no land, no compensation, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate and the king dies at the country". Very, they not only asked for marriage, but also asked Datang to add books on mathematics, medicine, architecture, iron smelting, etc., and skilled craftsmen to the dowry... Just imagine, Your Highness, if these are all given in accordance with Tubo's requirements, then there will be What are the consequences?"

Li Chengqian took a breath: "Doesn't it mean that as long as time passes, the Tibetans will be able to achieve rapid development in various fields such as military affairs and medical treatment?"

"That's right! The Han people have had the advantage of crushing the surrounding barbarians since ancient times. Even if they are sometimes slaughtered by the barbarians, it is only for a short period of time. As long as the domestic political situation is stable and the weather is smooth, any barbarians can only be passive. Beating! And what is the reason for all this? Compared with force, the Han people have been farming all the year round, how can they compare with the barbarians who grew up on horseback since childhood? Compared with fierceness, the Han people are benevolent, righteous, polite, wise and trustworthy, how can they compare with the strong? The barbarians who are kings and kill without batting an eyelid? Han people rely on wisdom! The wisdom condensed by generations of Han people is the knowledge of arithmetic, medicine, architecture, smelting, etc., as well as countless students, Physician, artisan! Let the advantages accumulated over thousands of years be handed over to others, let the Tibetans accept and absorb them, and then in turn poison the Han people, we will be sinners through the ages!"

Fang Jun was impassioned.

In fact, it’s not that serious. Whether it’s arithmetic, medicine, construction, or smelting, it’s not an exclusive secret book. If you want to learn it, people from any country can learn it.No matter how much the country tries to control it, it is impossible to make it airtight.

The smelting technique of the Tang Dynasty was passed to the Japanese country, and it was improved from generation to generation by it, and finally became a famous knife in the world, but we ourselves broke the inheritance...

Some things can be learned even if they are not given to Tubo.

But Fang Jun had to plant a kind of thinking in Li Chengqian's cognition, that is, "these things cannot be given"!
In the entire feudal society, from the ruling class to the traffickers, no one has ever regarded these wisdom crystallizations accumulated from generation to generation as wealth, let alone paid attention to them. They called it "extraordinary obscenity skills", It is a big mistake to think that it is heresy, and only the history subset of the Four Books and Five Classics is important.

How can we govern the world by philosophy alone?

How can a country become rich and powerful without natural science?

It's not that philosophy is not important, Huaxia's philosophy system is a treasure of mankind, but it can't walk on one leg!
If natural science can develop and progress together with the philosophical system... Fang Jun simply can't imagine how strong the Chinese nation can be.

Li Chengqian was a little confused.

For a while, he couldn't accept Fang Jun's theory, he felt that it made sense, and at the same time felt that it was very wrong, but after thinking about it, he still didn't realize what was wrong...

He frowned and said, "It's rough and vulgar, even if you teach them those things, can they learn it?"

From ancient times to the present, the Han people have never looked at the barbarians seriously. Even though they were killed by the barbarians into the Central Plains and ravaged China, the Han people still look down on the vulgar and barbaric Hu people in their bones. racism.

Only I am the most noble, other races are rubbish...

Fang Jun was speechless.

This lofty mentality has always existed in the bones of the Chinese people. Even if they were killed by Meng Yuan's iron hoof, even if they were beheaded by Jurchen, they have never been eliminated.

Until the gates of the country were bombarded by strong ships and cannons from the west, and most of the country was conquered by the vicious neighbors with planes and cannons, killing countless compatriots, the land of China fell into a dark hell, and the pride was broken the backbone.

When things are extreme, they will be reversed. When the pride of thousands of years is broken, it will be replaced by servility.

Even if the invaders are driven away, even if the great revival is on the way again, there are still some people kneeling on the ground and unable to get up...

Extreme pride becomes conceited, and extreme depravity develops inferiority complex.

Fang Jun said patiently: "Even if there is even the slightest possibility, we can't support the enemy. The Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and what can be exported can only be culture. It is necessary for the surrounding barbarians to speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and use Chinese characters. The Han rituals made their original customs gradually disappear. After a hundred years, they will completely integrate into the Tang Dynasty and become a tribe with no differences from the Han people. However, medical skills, arithmetic, and smelting are things that are beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood. Can't teach them."

Li Chengqian realized something: "Just like Annan now?"

Fang Jun said: "Exactly!"

Today's Annan Protectorate's Mansion controls a large area of ​​territory from Jiaozhou to the south, because most of the land is close to the sea, and all of it is under the cover of the navy.The rise of maritime trade and the stable situation have caused countless Han Chinese to leave their hometowns with the fleet and go to Annan to seek life.

With the influx of Han Chinese, the "Datang Culture Promotion Association" presided over by Wei Wang Li Tai recruited a large number of scholars and literati to go to Annan to open private schools and teach Sinology.
