Mohist Tang - Chapter 1311

Fujiwara, Koguryo’s withered Fusang envoy, couldn’t help laughing. Koguryo couldn’t tell the situation at all. Mohism is quite magical, but Confucianism is the only one respected by the Tang Dynasty. How can you get benefits if you offend Confucianism.

“Tell Tian Khan that our emperor paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty with 5000 taels of gold and 10000 taels of silver. Our emperor admired the learning of Confucius and Mencius, yearned for the Enlightenment of poetry and books, and asked his majesty to allow Fusang to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn the way of saints in the Tang Dynasty.” at present, Fujiwara, the messenger of Fusang, proudly stepped out and said respectfully.

Suddenly, the face of the Manchurian officials changed. They looked at the messenger of Fusang with a pair of children to teach. A small country was even ready to learn Confucianism all over the country. How can such good things not inspire Confucianism.

Li Shimin also nodded slightly. Confucianism is not as good as Mohist ink technology. What’s the secret? If Confucianism can be extended to Fusang, it can certainly expand the influence of the Tang Dynasty. Just as he was about to agree, a firm voice came.

“I object!”

When Li Shimin looked up, it was the Mo family who objected.

Li Shimin frowned. Confucianism had just taken the opportunity to severely suppress Koguryo, who wanted to respect the Mohist school alone. The Mohist school was ready to retaliate against the Confucian state of Fusang.

Kong Yingda looked at Merton and frowned. He drank coldly: “don’t raise the level of ink sacrifice wine. Ju Li threatened first, and Fusang threatened later. Datang and Fusang are separated by a strip of water and come from the same source. The two sides have never had an evil relationship. Don’t use the heart of a villain to treat the belly of a gentleman.”

All officials of the Manchu Dynasty nodded one after another. In their view, the messenger of Fusang was respectful and polite. He was also a small country. He was simply unable to threaten the Tang Dynasty. The move of the Mohist school was just to disturb the good deeds of Confucianism.

Merton laughed and said, “Kong offered wine. Do you think Fusang really wants to respect Confucianism alone? I’m afraid you don’t know! Fusang envoys have spied on the Mohist village for many times. They secretly bought many craftsmen and stole the techniques of craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty and iron smelting techniques to strengthen Fusang.”

Kong Yingda couldn’t help looking embarrassed. He originally thought that the purpose of Fusang was to respect Confucianism alone, but he didn’t think that Fusang and Koguryo wanted Mohist ink skills, but Fusang’s means were more hidden.

“Tian Khan is merciful. Fusang’s move is not malicious. However, Fusang people are poor and their secret skill of smelting iron is just to make farm tools for the people.” Fujiwara quickly defended.

Kong Yingda nodded and said, “loving the world is one of the teachings of Confucianism.”

Although he was angry that Fujiwara secretly collected ink skills, he had to defend Fujiwara in order to maintain Fusang’s reputation of respecting Confucianism.

Merton said with a smile, “today you can smelt iron to make farm tools, and tomorrow you can smelt iron to make weapons. Mo said that Fusang’s different intention is not just speculation, but hard evidence. It is said that Fusang also wrote to the Sui Yang emperor to send envoys, which was angrily denounced by the Sui Yang emperor. Do you know why?”

“The son of heaven sent a letter when he went abroad, and the son of heaven was fine when he didn’t.” Yan shigu, a historian, changed his face.

“Day goes abroad! Sunset Country!”

When the man Dynasty’s civil and military face changed, he suddenly remembered this matter. In China, there has always been a saying that the sun sets in the west, but Fusang is suspected of provocation with the help of geographical location.

“I just don’t know what is written in the national certificate?” Merton sneered.

Li Shimin picked up Fusang’s National Certificate and looked at it. It read: “the Eastern Emperor respects the white Western emperor.”

“East emperor, West emperor!”

Li Shimin sneered that there can only be one emperor in the world. Fusang called him Tian Khan, but he was called the Western emperor in the document. He was on an equal footing with their emperor and had no heart of submission.

At that moment, my mind must be certain: “your Lord is the Eastern Emperor and I am the Western emperor. There is no vassal relationship between the two countries, and the so-called gift is naturally impossible to talk about.”

Li Shimin naturally knows the power of all schools of thought. It is wishful thinking for Fusang to want to learn from all schools of thought in the Tang Dynasty and maintain an arrogant attitude.

“Ah!”

The messenger of Fusang was surprised. He didn’t expect to arouse the disgust of the Tang emperor again. At present, he couldn’t help looking at Kong Yingda for help.

Kong Yingda was also angry that Fusang secretly collected Mohist ink skills and directly ignored the help eyes of Fusang messengers.

The envoys of all countries were shocked. Koguryo was refused to join the Mohist School and was suppressed by the Confucianism. The envoys of Fusang openly joined the Confucianism and secretly collected ink skills. They were also suppressed by the Mohist school. It was terrible for all the schools of thought in the Tang Dynasty.

However, they did not know that Merton’s suppression of Fusang was not to retaliate against Confucianism, but simply wanted to delay the social process of Fusang. The slower the social progress of Fusang, the more in line with the interests of China.

At present, only two old enemies, East Turk and Xue yantuo, did not attack the whole hall. Suddenly, everyone focused on the envoys of the two countries.

East Turks initially gained a firm foothold on the grassland, and Turks also recovered some confidence. Li Simo held his identity and did not come. Instead, he ganchengji, who stayed in Chang’an City, was used as an envoy.

“I would like to report to Tian Khan that all Turkic ministries would like to offer thousands of cattle, horses and sheep to congratulate Tian Khan on his holy safety.” Hegan Chengji said respectfully.

“It’s a pity that the grassland has just suffered a white disaster this year, otherwise the Turkic ministries will surely offer more tribute to tiankhan.” Hegan Chengji added to show the loyalty of the Turkic ministries.

“Have a heart!” Li Shimin nodded slightly. It’s good to be able to give so much just after the founding of the Turks. What’s more, Li Shimin wanted to see the attitude of Turks’ submission.

After the Hegan Chengji finished paying tribute, the envoy Xue yantuo didn’t panic and said, “I inform Tian Khan that our Xue yantuo tribe is willing to pay tribute to tens of thousands of cattle, horses and sheep to congratulate Tian Khan on his holy safety.”

As soon as the messenger Xue yantuo’s voice fell, the whole Taiji hall was in an uproar, with tens of thousands of cattle, horses and sheep. I’m afraid this kind of heavy ceremony is the most tribute of all countries.

No one expected that Xue yantuo, who had just been defeated by the Tang Dynasty, not only had no resentment, but paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

Hegan Chengji’s face sank. He didn’t expect Xue yantuo to have such courage that he could take out so many livestock when the grassland was suffering from white disaster. Moreover, he also knew that Xue yantuo’s purpose was to please Datang, so that Datang could favor Xue yantuo in the future conflict between Turks and Xue yantuo.

But this is what Datang wants to see. Li Shimin wants Xue yantuo to compete with Turkic Snipes and mussels, while Datang reaps the benefits.

“Zhenzhu Khan wants to say hello for me.” Li Shimin said with satisfaction.

“Thank you, your majesty. Besides paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty, I also ask your majesty to marry a Han woman as the prince’s wife and give her the title of princess.” envoy Xue yantuo took the opportunity to ask.

“As long as a Han woman with Princess status is his wife!” Li Shimin’s eyes flashed. This is not without precedent. Songzan Ganbu did it that year, and this requirement can be said to be the only way to avoid the policy of non affinity in the Tang Dynasty.

The other ministers felt that this requirement was not difficult. An ordinary woman could exchange decades of peace on the border. This business was cost-effective.

“It’s Khan’s day. Xue yantuo’s ambition is to bully all parts of the grassland by using the name of Princess Datang. The Minister got an urgent report. Not long ago, Xue yantuo’s soldiers sneaked into all parts of the Turks in a sledge made by Marquis mohou. Xue yantuo’s heart is punishable.” he ganchengji quickly dissuaded him.

Once Xue yantuo gets the name of princess, he can establish the prestige of overlord on the grassland again. When he gets it, the Turks will be in danger.

The messenger Xue yantuo pointed to Hegan Chengji and angrily said, “Your Majesty, Xue yantuo respects Tian Khan and is unwilling to fight with the Tang Dynasty, but Turks are not. When they dominated the grassland in those years, they not only bullied all parts of the grassland, but also invaded the Tang Dynasty southward. Turks returned to the grassland and will grow stronger in the future. They will surely retaliate for their humiliation. Your Majesty’s move is to let the tiger go back to the mountain. You can’t help it!”

Hegan Chengji couldn’t help but feel empty in his heart. All Turks have the idea of restoring the glory of Turks, but the most important step for Turks today is to have a foothold on the grassland.

As Merton analyzed, Koguryo’s threat is at present and Fusang’s threat is in the future. Turks and Xue yantuo are a former threat and a current threat. Li Shimin naturally knows who to deal with first!

At that moment, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, “I’m a heavenly Khan. All the world is my subjects. What you have to do is keep their own land and don’t rob each other.”

The messenger Xue yantuo and Hegan Chengji glared at each other and lowered their heads.

“As for the issue of giving marriage, don’t mention it again. I’m willing to get married in the Tang Dynasty. Even if I’m not, it’s not necessarily the law of the Tang Dynasty.” Li Shimin waved his hand.

Hegan Chengji couldn’t help but rejoice. At least in the current situation, Datang still prefers Turks.

Xue yantuo’s envoy couldn’t help but look dark. He paid so many tribute to Xue yantuo, but Datang still preferred Turks. How can he not make Xue yantuo angry.

Suddenly, Xue yantuo’s emissary will turn to yuangai suwu, the emissary of Koguryo not far away. One Xue yantuo is not enough to frighten the Tang Dynasty. What about Koguryo?
