"Son-in-law Zhao Qianshun, bow to His Majesty the Emperor of my father, long live, long live, long live!"

On the upper floor of Wansheng, the Hexi Jiedu envoy who was dressed in the robe of the king of the Great Song County, the chief protector of Anxi, the Taiwei, the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, the inspection of the school Taishi, and the king of Xiping, Zhao Qianshun, bowed to the Song Dynasty officials on the throne, bowed to the courtesy, and called Zhao Ji his son, and called Zhao Ji his father. What a good son of loyalty and filial piety! Zhao Ji looked full of joy and looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha...... Good! Good emperor, after worshipping me, please also worship your mother! ”

After worshipping my father, I naturally want to worship my mother. Zhao Qianshun immediately bowed to his own mother, Concubine Xiaoliang, and said goodbye.

"Flat, sit!"

At this time, although the cold wind was strong upstairs in Wansheng, Zhao Ji was in high spirits, and he didn't feel cold at all, and he didn't want to go back to the palace, so he ordered someone to move Zhang Qizi for Zhao Qianshun.

Zhao Qianshun hated in his heart, he was humiliated in public, and he had to pretend to be a good son with a smiling face, and Zhao Ji, who was a cheap father, was endless......

I hated it in my heart, but I still had to pretend to be on my face, so I got up and thanked him at the moment, and sat upright on the pestle. Don't dare to sit upright like in Xingqing and Liangzhou, you have to sit on half your ass like a Mengtong who made a mistake, and you have to wait for Zhao Ji's father to ask you respectfully.

"Wu'er, are you a member of the party or a Han now?"

"Han people, the father is Han, and the child is of course Han."

Where does Zhao Qianshun dare to say that he is a party item? It's unfilial piety! Zhao Ji is Han, and Concubine Xiaoliang also claims to be Han, why are you a son of the party? Is this a disobedience to Mom and Dad? Why are you still keeping such unfilial sons!

"You are Han, so is Brother Zhao Cha a Han or a member of the party?"

"Han Chinese!" Zhao Qianshun said, "Brother Cha is the younger brother of his son, and he is also His Majesty's courtier. Erchen is Han, His Majesty is also Han, and Chage is of course Han. ”

"Brother Cha's name is not like a Han Chinese," Zhao Ji asked Concubine Xiao Liang with a smile, "Concubine Liang, you are Brother Cha's mother-in-law, what kind of name do you say you should change to Brother Cha?" ”

Concubine Xiaoliang said: "Brother Cha is the younger brother of Qianshun, it is better to take Shun as the general word, and then use a loyal word to thank Your Majesty for your great kindness." ”

"Zhao Zhongshun?" Zhao Ji nodded, "Okay, it's called Zhao Zhongshun!" ”

Zhao Qianshun hurriedly thanked his younger brother for the grace of giving his name.

Zhao Ji paused, and then said: "Although you and Brother Cha are both Han, there are still many barbarians in the jurisdiction of the Hexi Jiedu Envoy, right?" ”

"Yes, there are some ......"

"Are they all barbarians who can be educated?" Zhao Ji asked again.

"Yes, yes, what my father said is very true, they are all barbarians who can be edified."

Where does Zhao Qianshun dare to say the word "no", what does it mean to be afraid of power and not to be virtuous? That's what he is! If he dares to contradict Zhao Ji's father, it will not be the Great Enlightenment Regiment to educate, but Gao Xuanshuai will lead the troops to eliminate it!

"Well, that's what I thought!" Zhao Ji nodded, "So I asked the Yuntai Academy Doctor Group, Daxiangguo Temple and Jingling Palace to jointly lead a big education group, which is specifically responsible for the education of the people in Hexi and Anxi." What do I think? ”

"The sons and daughters thank their father and Emperor Longen for the people of Hexi and Anxi."

Zhao Qianshun is a filial son, so naturally what his father said was what.

"You should thank you slowly," Zhao Ji smiled and said to Wu Hao, "Wu Qing, you can tell King Xiping about the preparations of the Great Sect." ”

"Commandment." Wu Haogu turned around and said to Zhao Qianshun, "Your Majesty, the Great Sect of Education prepared by Xia Guan is a combination of three religions, and it will bring together the principles of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism at the same time. Therefore, there are not only Confucian scholars, but also monks and Taoists in the Great Sect. Because it brings together the truths and masters inside and outside the red dust, the Great Sect is not the yamen of the imperial court, but is equivalent to the royal palace temple. The money needed for the establishment of the Great Sect was raised from the Gongguan Temple and the Confucian Academy......"

Of course, the positioning of the Great Sect is semi-official, otherwise how can it absorb investment from temples, Taoist temples, and wealthy merchants? Of course, it is impossible for the imperial court to allocate funds, it is a huge amount of millions of dollars, and with Zhao Ji, the "Fengheng Yuda", the finances of the imperial court are tight every year, and if there are large-scale wars and disasters, it will definitely be in deficit. How is it possible to allocate 5 million at once? And the imperial court allocated 5 million yuan, and it can't recover the investment! Opening temples, opening Taoist temples, usury and maritime trade in the West and South Seas were not things that the imperial court could do. If the court wants to pay money, it is clear that it is a waste.

Of course, on the list of "shareholders" of the Great Education Group, there are no businessmen like Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an, and Ji Yi. Their investments are all provided through the Yuntai Academy Doctoral Group and Gezhi University Academy. So on the surface, their money was invested in the Great Education Corps as a Confucian contribution.

And to ensure the safety of their contributions, it is the Great Faculty Mandate System. That is, the Yuntai Academy of Doctors, Gezhi Academy, Biyong Palace, Daxiangguo Temple, Shaolin Temple, Jingling Palace, and Wanshouguan each recommended a great teaching. A situation has been formed in which the seven major teachings are in charge of the Great Education Corps.

The seven great teachings have not yet been gathered, but there are already five great teachings, including Hou Zhongliang on behalf of the Biyong Academy, Zhang Yuan on behalf of the Gezhi Academy, Zhishen on behalf of the Great Xiangguo Temple, Xuan Lin on behalf of the Shaolin Temple, and Liu Wuji on behalf of the Wanshou Official.

"I don't know how the Great Sect will educate the barbarians in the four towns of Anxi?" Zhao Qianshun already knew some things about the Great Education and Reform Group before, and now after listening to Wu Haogu's introduction, he already roughly understood that this was a group that made profits under the cloak of education. However, he still wanted to know the methods of the Great Education and Culture Corps in terms of "education."

"There are three ways to educate the barbarians," Wu Haogu said solemnly, "the first is to lend money to the Hexi army to defeat the Black Khan Uighurs entrenched in Anxi!" Prepare to borrow 2 million yuan first, with an annual interest rate of 20%, excluding compound interest......"

These words not only made Zhao Qianshun cry and laugh, but even the Great Song officials present didn't know what to say.

Borrow 2 million, with an annual interest rate of 20% - it sounds like a "seedling loan"! Co-authored the New Party to lend money to the peasants to earn interest, and your Yuntai Old Party lent money to the Western thieves to kill people and set fires? Hehe, it's really dark enough!

Wu Haogu said again: "Secondly, the Great Education Corps will also form a Dao Protection Regiment and march into Anxi with the Hexi Army!" ”

"Protectors? Don't know how to protect the road? ”

"Preach the scriptures, of course you have to use swords, guns, bows and crossbows to protect the way!"

Zhao Qianshun's mind sank, this is to send the army into Hexi! Thinking of this, he peeked at Zhao Ji again. Father Zhao smiled, obviously supporting the use of swords, guns, bows and crossbows to protect the road - of course he supported it, and the road protection group was not on the land of the imperial court, but was sent to the territory of the Hexi army...... Although it is not an official army, this Taoist protection group is integrated with temples, palaces, and academies, and the effect may be better than directly sending officers and soldiers!

"That's great!" Zhao Qianshun immediately said that he must be consistent with his father!

"Again," Wu Haogu continued, "the Great Sect is also responsible for the affairs of the four towns of Anxi and the religions of Hexi...... Although the Great Sect is based on the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, it does not exclude foreign religions such as Tianfangjiao, Nestorianism, Manichaeism, and Brahmanism, and will implement the law of harmony among all religions in Anxi Hexi. ”

These words have two meanings, one means that in the future, the religious affairs of the two towns of Hexi and Anxi must be handed over to the head of the Great Education and Chemical Mission!

The second meaning is that you can't beat the Tianfang Sect dominated by the four towns of Anxi to death with a stick! This is not in line with the Great Song Dynasty's policy of religious harmony and freedom...... Moreover, Wu Haogu didn't want to completely break with the Heavenly Sect world. If you don't fight, you can't fight, the four towns of Anxi are probably the territory of China in later generations, and in the current situation, isn't that splitting? This is not in the fundamental interests of all the Chinese people, including the people of Anxi!

But Wu Haogu is not trying to force his opponent to the point where the dog jumps over the wall. In the future, the Tianfang Christians in the land of the four towns of Anxi will be able to maintain their beliefs as long as they follow the principles of loving the Great Song Dynasty, loving the official family, respecting other religious beliefs, and not colluding with hostile forces outside the country.

Of course, such a policy of religious freedom also depends on the attitude of the caliphs and the Seljuk Turkic sultans! If they were willing to revoke the inappropriate positions of Taohuashi Khan and Chinese emir conferred on the Uighur leader of the Black Khan, apologize and compensate the Chinese people who had been harmed, and ensure that the three religions of "Confucianism" could freely spread their faith in the Tianfang world, then the Great Song Dynasty would continue to protect the freedom of belief of the Tianfang followers......

Such a requirement is probably a bit problematic in the 21st century, but it is not a big deal in the 12th century.

Now is the time when Christianity is setting fire to people, and the caliph is sponsoring the Centennial Translation Movement! The Celestial school of rationalism (rationalism) is still at odds with the Sufis (mysticism, there are certainly no Shiites under the Abbasid Caliphate, so the struggle in Baghdad is between mysticism and rationalism).

Although the Rationalists were at a disadvantage, the Sufis could not be as simple as the Mongols, with a massacre that basically cut off the roots, and then burn all the books in the University of Philosophy - the Arabs had long been without force, and the caliphs themselves were puppets of the Seljuk Turks, not to mention the religious scholars below, so the struggle in Baghdad could only be opened with words.

As for the Seljuk Turks, they were already quite civilized before they came to Baghdad. The University of Niezemia, which merged the Palace of Wisdom (Philosophical University), was opened under the auspices of Sultan Malikshah of the Seljuks and Prime Minister Mulek.

Zhao Ji, who is also a reasonable civilized official, looked at his good son with a smile at this time, "Wu'er, are you still satisfied with your father's arrangement?" ”

"Satisfied, of course Erchen is satisfied!"

"Good! If you are not satisfied, just tell me that I have always persuaded people with reason! ”
