Vertical and horizontal!
He is a disciple of GUI GuZi. It is said that there are only two disciples in the past dynasties, one vertical and one horizontal. Once angry, the princes are afraid, and living in peace makes the world prosperous.
The most famous are su Qin and Zhang Yi. Su Qin is vertical, Zhang Yi is horizontal, the horizontal is the emperor of Qin, and the vertical is the king of Chu.
In the pre-Qin period, Su and Qin traveled around the world and advocated to unite the six countries to resist Qin! And finally formed a vertical alliance, served as "Cong Chang", and admired the seal of the six countries, so that Qin did not dare to go out of Hangu pass in the 15th year of Qin Dynasty.
Zhang Yi advocated Lian Heng, served as the Prime Minister of the state of Qin, sent envoys to lobby the countries, broke the vertical and attacked from far to near.
At present, Datang is like the Qin Dynasty in those days. It is the most powerful country around. If you want to really fight, Tuyuhun is Datang's opponent. Now Datang clearly has an advantage, but he wants Datang to exchange women for peace. Merton is young and frivolous, so naturally he can't swallow this evil spirit.
"I Tuyuhun came here with peace sincerity, but Datang is so insincere. I hope you don't regret it!" Tuyuhun's envoy said.
"Datang has always advocated peace. Tuyuhun has repeatedly violated the border and does not want to repent. Unless Fu Yun personally comes to Chang'an to apologize, he will wait for Datang's officers and men to seek justice in person."
Li Shimin was furious when he heard the speech. Princess Changle was his favorite daughter, and Tuyuhun not only repeatedly violated the border, but also put forward such conditions. It was like looking for death.
"Tian Khan..." the envoy of Tuyuhun was shocked and looked at Li Shimin in disbelief. According to his understanding of the Tang Dynasty, this marriage is a sure thing. I didn't think it would be reduced to such a degree.
"If the two countries had not fought, I would have beheaded you and sent someone to drive the messenger Tuyuhun out of the Tai Chi hall!" Li Shimin shouted flatly.
"Yes!"
Immediately, the two palace guards jumped out and drove the messenger Tuyuhun out of the hall directly.
"Tubo also wants to marry?" Li Shimin said coldly to Tubo's special envoy.
At this time, all the ministers in the hall immediately focused on the Tubo emissary.
As soon as the Tibetan emissary changed his look, he hurriedly said, "Tubo is naturally willing to make friends with the Tang Dynasty forever, but whether to make peace or not depends on Tian Khan."
At this time, Li Shimin was angry. The Tubo emissary did not dare to stimulate Li Shimin even if he had no eyes.
The Tubo emissary was quite knowledgeable. Li Shimin's face slowed down and his anger subsided slightly.
Seeing this, the Tubo emissary quickly took the opportunity to say, "Tuyuhun is ambitious. If Datang and Tuyuhun fight, Tubo is willing to help Datang."
"Seriously?" the man Dynasty was overjoyed.
At that time, Merton frowned. As the saying goes, you can't get up early without profit. He didn't believe that Tubo unconditionally helped Datang.
Sure enough, I saw the Tubo emissary then say, "my king ordered me to come to the country. First, I begged for mercy and marriage. Second, I have long heard that the ink skills of the Mohist School in the Tang Dynasty are amazing. My king yearns for it. As long as Tian Khan agrees to teach Tubo ink skills, Tubo will certainly stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty."
"Ink skill!" suddenly the whole courtiers were in an uproar. No one thought that the Tubo messenger should put forward such a request. Suddenly, everyone couldn't help looking at Merton. Of course, if you want to talk about ink skill, you have to find Merton.
Many people are happy. No one thought that it would turn around like this. As long as Mohist Zi spits out his promise, Datang will easily get a big help.
The Tubo emissary bowed to the Mohist School and said, "this must be the famous Mohist Lord of the Tang Dynasty. Mohist Lord also repaired hundreds of schools and led the recovery of Mohist school. Little envoy Lu Dongzan is also well-known in Tubo. I hope Mohist Lord will give me advice."
"Ludongzan!" Merton shrunk his eyes. He didn't expect that the Tubo messenger in front of him was ludongzan, the famous Tubo Prime Minister of later generations.
According to historical records, although he was illiterate, he was extremely intelligent. The strength of Tubo depended entirely on his own creation.
Merton took a deep breath and was surprised. He didn't expect that he was so sharp that he even stared at the Mohist ink technique.
Li Shimin turned his head and said, "Merton, ink technology is owned by the Mohist school. How do you decide?"
Thanks to the magical performance of Mohism in the past year, Li Shimin has seen the power of ink technology. Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have personally asked Merton for his opinions.
The Minister of the Manchu Dynasty immediately disagreed. The conditions of Tubo are extremely relaxed. It's a cost-effective thing to get Tubo's help only with the ink skills of the Mohist school without spending a penny.
Merton immediately fell into a dilemma. Of course, he knew the value of ink technology. The reason why Tubo was strong in history was that Princess Wencheng brought a lot of agricultural books and medical skills, and even hundreds of craftsmen, which greatly increased Tubo's strength and became the biggest cancer of the whole Tang Dynasty.
If Tubo really want to get ink skills, I'm afraid it will be more terrible than in history. What's funny is that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have a complacent face, as if they think that the Tang Dynasty has been so cheap. Even Li Shimin's face can't help flashing a look of expectation.
Merton thought a little and thought of an excellent rejection idea. He shook his head and said, "Mohist ink technology will only benefit Datang and will never serve any other country at any time."
Li Shimin couldn't help nodding when he heard the speech. Although Merton didn't act according to his wishes, he was very pleased with his answer.
Lu Dongzan frowned and said, "I've heard that Mohism advocates universal love and non aggression! Don't the people of Tubo deserve universal love from Mohism? Doesn't Mohism mean that the people of the two countries will always be good together by spreading Mohism skills?"
Ludongzan obviously had already studied Mohist ideas, and his answers were in order. Even many ministers nodded and praised for a while.
Merton sighed in his heart. He is worthy of being a famous figure in history. It is really very difficult.
However, Merton was prepared and said, "the Mohists advocate universal love for non attack and help the weak. However, the countries have been in war for years, and the people are becoming more and more difficult. Therefore, the Mohists changed their way and Qin Mo entered Qin. So far, the world is unified and universal love for non attack."
Lu Dongzan frowned at the speech and said, "didn't the Tang Dynasty unify the world?"
When Merton heard the speech, he suddenly showed an inexplicable smile at the corners of his mouth, opened his hands, stretched out his broad mind, and repeated again: "the world is unified!"
Lu Dongzan frowned when he heard the speech. He didn't understand what Merton was doing.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked. They were surprised. They didn't expect that the Mohist school had such ambition. Of course, this world is not the world of the Tang Dynasty. It is estimated that the whole world.
Merton sneered: "if Tubo obeys the Tang Dynasty, there will be no war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. The ink will naturally enter Tubo, spread ink technology and love all sentient beings."
Lu Dongzan suddenly understood what Merton meant. He couldn't help but look blue. He didn't think he was fooled by a teenager.
"I came from Tubo in good faith. I didn't expect that Datang would bully me like this. The war between the two countries will rise again in the future. Please don't forget today."
Lu Dongzan left angrily, and the whole Tai Chi hall was suddenly silent.
