Chapter 815

The writing of Tubo was strangled in the cradle by Li Hong. In the more than ten years of Li Hong's rule, the Han script became the only one. If we continue to push westward, we would force the collateral branches of five surnames and seven outlooks to take root in Anxi. Taking Confucian culture as the main body, it disseminated the essence of Central Plains culture and the essence of safeguarding imperial power.

In this way, even if it is a hundred years later, the Central Plains will be surrounded by wars and fierce competitions. But in the same root and the same kind of culture, is not it more radiation and broader than the track in history? Isn't it more cohesive and centripetal?

Tradition is used to break. Our traditional culture is rooted in the Central Plains, but we never want to go out and have a look. We regard ourselves as the center of the world in a wishful way. However, the great Confucianists do not know that anything will be eliminated in the face of the development of the times without innovation.

Li Zhe stood up with pride. Under the daze of his ministers and between Li Zhi's and Wu Mei's expressions of amazement, he said to Kong Zhiyue and Yan Weizhen again: "you only saw that Prince Dashi came to my Tang Dynasty to pay homage, and you thought that no one in Tang Dynasty could match me, and that our culture is the orthodox world! But have you ever thought why Dashi is so powerful! Why are they strong? What do they support their strength? What will support their political power and what will make their regime stable? The main points of Buddhist scriptures were accepted and integrated by our Tang Dynasty, which made the Tang Dynasty become a pure land of foreign Buddhist scriptures, and made monks from the western regions become dignified envoys of the Tang Dynasty. But why can Dashi insist on its own culture and make the essence of Buddhist scriptures unable to penetrate into their traditional culture? Have we ever learned from it? Do you understand all this? "

In the face of Li Zhe's series of reasons, Kong Zhiyue and Yan Weizhen began to look at a bit at a loss. Today, when they attended the royal banquet, they intended to start with Kong Zhiyue's eloquence in front of his majesty and the queen, and then extended Yan Weizhen to the stage.

Thus, the Hongwen hall, which was gradually away from the tradition and was close to the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace, could be handed over to Yan Weizhen by his majesty from Su Jing.

But I don't want to. Their purpose has not yet been implemented, and they have not communicated with the officials here and discussed about the hongwenguan. First of all, they have to face the questions and questions from the royal princes.

Li Zhe looked at Kong Zhiyue and Yan Weizhen, whose expression was at a loss and with a trace of deep anger, suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife from the bodyguard's waist at the gate of Hanyuan hall. Then he held the sword high and went to them. When the officials thought that Li Zhe was trying to be rude, but Wu Mei secretly stopped him, Li Zhe said solemnly: "since you don't know why, then Let me tell you why

"Why, because the cannibals, with their swords in their right hand and a scripture in their left hand, have conquered many countries you have never heard of in the East and West! With the sword in their right hand, let the people of those countries submit to their strong force, and then use the Scriptures in their left hand to make the people of those countries believe that this is the only code that can make them full of strength, faith and spiritual sustenance, save them in the midst of fire and water, and give them food, clothing and well-being It is said that they were conquered by the sword in the right hand, rather than they were conquered by the code in the hand of cannibalism! Thus, the code became their only belief and their totem!

Now, do you know why the emperor sent all the branches of the five surnames and seven Wang to Anxi? Now you should know that the emperor brother is struggling and thankless when you lie on the meritorious books of your ancestors. He teaches your theories to the people at the border of the Tang Dynasty for you. You don't know how grateful you are. Do you really benefit the people of Tang Dynasty by doing so? "

Li Zhe's words not only let everyone in Hanyuan hall begin to reexamine Li Hong's behavior, but also Li Zhi and Wu Mei have a new understanding of Li Hong's restless stay in Chang'an City and always want to run out to lead troops to fight.

With the disappearance of Li Zhe's voice in Hanyuan hall, the whole hall is silent. Kong Zhiyue and Yan Weizhen look at each other with complicated expressions. What Li Zhe said, even if it was a strong argument, could not be refuted by their knowledge that they had never walked out of the Central Plains.

"Take it up." Just as the crowd was still silent in what Li Zhe had just said, Li Dan, king of Yin, suddenly called out to his eunuch at the door.

Then, all eyes moved to the door of Hanyuan hall. Li Dan's two eunuchs were carefully carrying things in their hands.

Two eunuchs in the hands of things, along with Li Dan signal two eunuchs put down, then waved to let them leave.

None of the people present had any familiarity with the puzzling ball in front of them. They even didn't know what it was for.

Even Wu Mei and Li Zhi feel incredible and curious about the ball carved in front of Li Dan.

The ball was fixed on a base below, and when Li Dan's hand pressed slightly on the ball, most of the balls were covered with various dense lines and small handwriting, and then turned on the supports at both ends."Brother Huang once touched this thing made by Li Chunfeng before he set out. It was a long, long time In the past, he made this up a long, long time ago. As long as something new appeared, he would quote it like this. So please don't pay attention to the unreliable details of the emperor's mouth. However, the children's minister thinks that what the emperor said next is absolutely right, which is worthy of our deep consideration. He once looked at this round ball saying, it's not bad, but it still needs to be finished He is good at details and precision. If he is done, he will be the treasure of the Tang Dynasty. " Li Dan felt the ball, as if the teacher of the Imperial College was teaching the students. He was confident and calm.

"The son minister is also very curious, how can this thing become the treasure of the Tang Dynasty? To put it bluntly, it is a wooden ball, on which Li Chunfeng and I have drawn seemingly dense lines and carved with tiny handwriting. Therefore, the son minister thought, such things are estimated to be placed in the east city shops for ten years, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to them. But the emperor told me, oh, just a long, long time ago, some people used him to show the greatness of imperial power, and even others crowned himself with him. Therefore, the children's ministers became more curious and cherished the treasure I made with Li Chunfeng. " Li Dan looked at the crowd with a smile. Although everyone was in the clouds and couldn't understand what he was saying, everyone was listening quietly.

Finally, Li Dan's eyes after scanning Li Zhi and Wu Mei, then stopped on the embarrassed Kong Zhiyue and Yan Weizhen, patted the ball in front of him and said, "Mr. Kong and Mr. Yan, you stubbornly believe that our place is the center of the world, so you don't disdain to give the subset of your ancestors' classics to the people of Tang Dynasty outside the Central Plains, and you are not willing to continue Continue to work hard to carry forward the essence of your culture. You are only willing to attach yourself to the royal family and defend the imperial power. But do you know that your thoughts are not helping me to defend the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty, but to make the Tang Dynasty lose the power to advance and explore the precious wealth of the world! "

"Do you know why Dashi, as the king of England just said, marched eastward and westward, and why they did not go south or North?" Li Dan's upper body was about to lie on the ball, which worried Lizhi. His fat body collapsed the bracket under the ball again.

Kong Zhiyue and Yan Weizhen were cold faced and silent. Obviously, they didn't know about this problem. They never went out to the Central Plains in their life. How could they know why Dashi only fought for things and gave up the north and South regardless.

But at this time, Wu Mei, listening to Li Dan's words, began to have a dispute in her heart. Even Li Zhi, in her heart, also vaguely understood the answer to Li Dan's question.

The so-called map drawn by Li Hong is hung in Penglai hall and Zichen hall, but it is not in line with the traditional map of the Tang Dynasty. Kong Zhiyue and other people have even complained that this map is different and is not suitable for hanging in Li Zhi's bedroom hall.

However, Li Zhi and Wu Mei knew the location of the Tang Dynasty from there. They even knew the location of Dashi, Anxi, Tubo and tuhuoluo in the west, including the position of the Japanese state surrounded by the sea in the East.

Looking at their silence, Li Dan finally straightened up from the ball, stroked the map and sighed: "we can't be complacent and deceive ourselves any more. I only occupy a small part of the world in Datang. It's not in the center of the world we know. This world is much bigger than we imagine, and it's also very magical More. Therefore, we can not be satisfied with the prosperity and prosperity of our Tang Dynasty. We should always go on the road of exploration. We should try our best to expand the influence of our Tang Dynasty and consolidate the imperial power of our Tang Dynasty. In this way, we can continue to prosper and create an illusion to you, that is, we are the center of the world, and you Kong Zhiyue and Yan Weizhen are orthodoxy in the world Say

"Although I didn't understand what the king of Yin said, I started from my ancestors, traveled around the world, spread the theory, ran for the food and clothing of the people in the world, cultivated students for our Tang Dynasty, taught etiquette, learning methods, and learned morality, so that Tang Dynasty could become a civilized country, not like barbarians. I didn't know how to teach etiquette, how to be grateful and how to be virtuous But they never know how to respect their teachers and how to be grateful. What's the use of teaching them? " Yan Weizhen did not understand Li Dan's words at all, so she had to try to bring the topic back to her understanding of the classics.
