Chapter 263: The Master of the Royal Road
Lin Quan saw that Xiangguo Gong already had a countermeasure, so he didn't have any opinions on this matter. He told Xiangguo Gong about his idea of using Confucianism to transform the world, and Xiang Guogong thought for a while, and said to Lin Quan: "This is feasible, I don't know if you have already told the sage." ”
Lin Quan nodded, telling Xiangguo Gong that he had already told the sage, and he didn't know if the sage would agree to do so.
Xiangguo Gong looked at Lin Quan and asked with a smile, "Do you say that the sage will agree?" ”
"The subordinates don't dare to speculate on the saint's intentions."
"As long as it is something that is beneficial to the people in the world, the saints will agree, so you don't need to worry too much, it's just Lin Quan, this matter is not so simple."
Lin Quan saw that Xiangguo Gong meant something, so he asked Xiangguo where the Gong Gong was in trouble.
Xiangguo Gong said to Lin Quan: "There are three sects in this Xirong, you know this, they have ruled here for nearly a thousand years, if the Confucian sect is here to teach, do you think they will attack the holy gate." ”
Lin Quan thought about it and told Xiangguo Gong that there shouldn't be much of a problem, the knowledge of Confucianism is all secular, it is the knowledge of entering the WTO, and the sect here is born. The same is true in the Central Plains, where Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism coexist, and there is no trouble.
"Born, Lin Quan, you still don't know enough, these days ago, this Nestorian people have come to me, they hope that we can give up Ulysses and support Constantine, if we don't want to, they can divide the empire into two, the west belongs to Constantine, and the east belongs to Ulysses."
"Dashuai, did you agree?"
"Not yet, I asked the priest to talk to the saint, I can't be the master, but Lin Quan, after I inquired during this time, I found that the water in Xirong is deeper than we think."
Lin Quan asked Xiang Guogong what he knew, and Xiang Guogong gave Lin Quan a book, and Lin Quan opened it to see that it was about some of the history of Xirong over the years.
After Lin Quan read it, he was silent for a while, and then continued: "In this way, isn't the imperial court being used as a spear by them. ”
Xiang Guogong nodded and said to Lin Quan: "It's all because we don't know enough about Xirong, so we made such a mistake." ”
It turns out that the emperor of Xirong is different from the emperor of the Central Plains, the emperor of the Central Plains is above 10,000 people, but the emperor of Xirong is constrained by the inner dynasty, basically like a puppet, even if the emperor has made a difference, he only controls the vicinity of the imperial capital, and as for the nobles to whom he belongs, he may not obey his orders.
The Grand Duke, who has real power, is more majestic than the emperor.
Therefore, even if Lin Quan sent Ulysses IV to the imperial capital and ascended the throne, it would not be able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
The most authoritative of this Xirong is the master, and the three masters are the true emperors of Xirong.
"In this way, we didn't agree to Jingjiao at the beginning, but it was a mistake." Lin Quan spoke, then shook his head and said, "The saint will never agree, but this matter can be discussed." ”
"Then I'll bother you with Lin Supervisor." Xiangguo Gong really has this meaning, Lin Quan thought about it, and told Xiang Guogong: "Dashuai, Jingjiao has always been like this, and it is not a way, Xiaochen thinks that he should prepare with both hands, one is to negotiate with Jingjiao, and let them help us as much as possible." The second is to make Ulysses our ally, a useful ally. ”
Xiang Guogong said yes, he has thought of the next countermeasures. Since this emperor has no real power, then the imperial court can borrow his orders to crusade against the princes, and coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes not work, so use the king to do things.
Xiangguo Gong let Lin Quan rest for a night, and the next day, Xiang Guogong asked Lin Quan to meet a black-clothed bishop of the Nestorian Sect.
The bishop was also an official and was named Mercury, who was a very kind man at first glance.
After Mercury saluted Lin Quan, Lin Quan returned the salute and then saluted back.
Mercury smiled, and after the two sides sat down, Mercury first asked: "Master Lin, I have heard of your erudition for a long time, and now it is rumored in the pastoral area that a wise man has arrived in the Far East. ”
Lin Quan said that he was ashamed of this, his knowledge was shallow, and he hoped that Mercury would forgive Yunyun.
Mercury did not go directly to the topic, but talked to Lin Quan about the Four Books and the Five Classics, and Lin Quan also talked about it with great interest.
But this bishop did not listen and ask questions, like those scholars, but constantly compared his knowledge with his own scriptures.
Finally, Mercury told Lin Quan: "Master Lin, your emperor and our god are one. You believe in the Emperor of Heaven, our God. ”
Lin Quan didn't deny it directly, he just said that it was possible, maybe it was, but they didn't talk about God or the Emperor of Heaven, but about reason and Wuji.
Lin Quan didn't want to argue with Mercury, he was not an upright person, and he pointed out his mistakes directly.
Although he was noncommittal in his heart, for the sake of negotiation, he just said whatever Mercury wanted.
Mercury also saw his perfunctory and had to prove it, and Lin Quan said directly: "Our Heavenly Emperor has a god statue." ”
This sentence directly blocked Mercury, Mercury thought for a long time, and finally said: "Master Lin, if you can accept God's words, then we are all God's people, and naturally we should be a family." ”
"We are subjects of the Son of Heaven."
Lin Quan didn't dare not answer this sentence, if he didn't answer, the sage would know by then, and he would have to wear small shoes.
Although Lin Quan did not like scholasticism, he still knew some concepts, and he explained to Mercury that their emperor was the son of heaven, sent by heaven to rule the world. According to Mercury, the saint is the Messiah, the own son of Yahweh, and everyone can only obey.
Mercury hurriedly gestured symbols on his chest, which was too offensive for him.
Lin Quan also told Mercury that everyone should not talk about this matter, and the rest should talk about the empire.
Lin Quan did not say that it was impossible for the empire to let two emperors take charge, but said that it was unthinkable in the Central Plains, the so-called heaven has no two days, and the people have no two masters.
Mercury said it was their tradition, because Sijon was so big that no one could manage it unless it was managed separately.
Lin Quan scoffed at this statement, but he also said it implicitly, which was really unacceptable to them.
Mercury told Lin Quan that this was the place of Sijon and that everything should come according to the traditions of Sijon.
Lin Quan said that this is natural, but if there are really two emperors, then Lin Quan hopes that the two emperors can become the vassal states of the Yu Dynasty.
Mercury asked what the vassal country meant, and Lin Quan said that it was like dividing the feudal kingdom.
Mercury readily agreed, but on that condition.
Lin Quan continued to persuade that the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains would not agree, hoping that Mercury would understand, and Mercury said that if the Son of Heaven did not believe in their sect, then they would naturally not recognize the status of the Son of Heaven.
Lin Quan wasted a lot of lips and tongues, but Mercury still insisted on staying the same, and finally said that even if Ulysses arrived in the imperial capital, no one would recognize him as an emperor.
Lin Quan thought to himself that it would be okay if no one recognized this, and the imperial court would have to find an excuse to send troops at that time, but now he couldn't make enemies everywhere, and he wanted to send Ulysses to the imperial capital and enter the palace.
Therefore, Ulysses said that he could not be the master, but could only wait for the opinion of the saint, and he believed that the wise and wise saint would give a satisfactory answer to both sides.
Mercury didn't want to stiffen either, so he nodded and agreed, he could wait, and until the saint replied, the Nestorian was still their friend.
Lin Quan thanked Mercury for his kindness, and then talked to Mercury about other knowledge, this Mercury was also erudite, and talking to him, Lin Quan gained a lot of knowledge.
After seven days of talking, the prince agreed to surrender, and his only request was that the imperial army would make him as good as he had ever been.
Xiangguo Gong agreed, and these days, the hungry wolves under his command had already tasted enough in the clear fields near Mogoda.
In order to show his sincerity, Xiangguo Gong only brought 5,000 people into the city, and in the city, Xiangguo Gong was warmly welcomed, and the people were curious to look at the marshal from this extreme east.
Xiangguo Gong smiled at them in a friendly manner, in this Mogoda City, the slaughter caused by Xiangguo Gong was all dissipated, and the army of the imperial court really entered the city like a royal army.
When he arrived in the city, the first thing he did was to distribute the gold and silver from the treasury to the poor people in the city, and then punished the greedy merchants, and gave the rice and grain they had hoarded at home to the people who were short of food because of the siege.
