Chapter 871: The Insidiousness of the Literati

At this time, two letters were placed in front of Tang Yi, one was a reply letter from Yelu Hongji to Tang Yi, and the other was Song Zhuangyuan's.

Let's talk about Yelu Hongji first, this thing is a tease, for the idea that the Great Song Dynasty wants to unite Liao, he replied to Tang Yi like this:

"Hong Ji is not talented, his plaything is demoralized, he has no way to govern the government, he has lost the cornerstone of his ancestors in an instant, and he has poured Yanyun's authority into your hands, and he is really guilty."

However, the resentment of the Liao and Song dynasties is the fate of the northern and southern dynasties. The success or failure of the Central Plains is also the internal struggle of my descendants of Yan and Huang (the Khitan people regard themselves as the descendants of Emperor Yan), and they are not amiable to the Xiyi barbarian state, nor are they reluctant. ”

"Khitan Iron Cavalry, the army of justice, Mou Yanyun, must fight, why do you need to be cunning? Hong Ji is ashamed, shameful and brave, and disdains it. ”

"The first emperor has a spirit, and he must know Hongji's heart."

......

"Today, please swear an oath to marry the good of Qin and Jin, and return to Yan and Huang to discuss westward expansion."

However, Hong Ji did not dare to reply. The north and the south have accumulated grievances, the old hatred has not been eliminated, and the new grievances are flourishing, how can they say the same? ”

......

"But Zhu Zihao, raise the power of my Yanhuang bloodline for thousands of miles, Pingxi Dangkou, invincible in Xiyi."

"On the day of returning to the east, I am willing to get drunk with you in Gubeiguan."

"Wake up ......"

"War!"

"The loss of Yanyun is due to the cold soldiers, and the general trend of the Liao and Song Dynasty is in Hongguan, and the happiness of the man is also!"

"Leiluo..."

"Haoran."

"Worthy of my ancestors, worthy of my heart!"

- Brother: Yelu Hongji, respectfully.

......

“......”

Do you want to be so cute? Do you want to be such a straight man?

Tang Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this letter, should I praise him for being a pure master, or scold him for being two hundred and five? I've never seen such an unobtrusive emperor!

However, looking back, this is really what Yelu Hongji's dumb emperor can do. As an emperor, he has to compete with the Great Song Dynasty in an upright manner, and disdain to scheming......

Okay, this is disgusting Tang Yi, Yan Yun's battle, isn't Tang Yi just a trick? It seems that this thing is not without resentment in his heart!

Speechless, he shook his head, "When is the time for retribution, why bother?" ”

Yang Wenguang on the side rolled his eyes and was speechless for a while. Such shameless words, that's what he said.

"However, Yeluhongki did come as a bit of a surprise this time. He kindly informed the Great Song of Dong Luodong's conspiracy, but rejected the alliance of the Great Song Dynasty very unkindly. ”

"What's this called?" Tang Yi was silent.

He understood what Yelu Hongji was thinking, as he had originally said, Yelu Hongji was more like a chivalrous warrior than an emperor......

......

——————————

Putting down Yelu Hongji's letter, Tang Yi was slightly disappointed.

Although the Great Liao did not mix with the Eastern Romans, nor did it form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, it is neither good nor bad. However, in this way, Di Qing still has to stay in Yanyun and cannot be used, which is indeed a pity.

Look at the second one.

It stands to reason that Egypt would go back and forth after a month of death in Rome, and Song Zhuangyuan's letter should have come back a long time ago. In fact, this is not the first letter between Egypt and Rome.

Looking at the four big characters on the paper, Tang Yi couldn't help but have a headache even more, and said with a wry smile: "Song Gongxu, should you be so ruthless?" Isn't that a pit for me? ”

Yang Wenguang immediately laughed, looking unconcerned and happy.

"Who's to blame? If you don't give your son back to him, it's no wonder that he can give you a good face! ”“

"Is that my fault!?" Tang Yi stood with his eyes open. "That thing doesn't want to go to see my father, it's my bird business!?"

......

Here's how it happened.

Tang Yi went to Wan to capture Rome and rescued Song Kai, but he didn't want to go to Egypt to listen to his father's teachings, so he had to stay and repair the monument for Qi Xuefeng. So, when Tang Yi's first letter was delivered to Cairo, Song Zhuangyuan was furious.

Why did Lao Tzu come all the way to Egypt? Isn't it just for this son?

As a result, he was quite temperamental, and if he didn't come to see his father, he had to run to Maro to meet him?

Song Zhuangyuan couldn't stand this, and immediately replied to Tang Yi with righteous words: "Zhen is the envoy of Egypt appointed by the official family, and the government of Rome is not the duty of Zhen, and the mad king takes care of himself!" ”

The implication is to solve your own affairs, don't come to the old man! (Looking for it, I have to tie my son back and find it again.) )

Tang Yi is also a dog, you father and son are fighting, what is my business?

So, Tang Yi went to the second letter, with earnest and urgent words, describing the situation in Rome in detail, and finally admitting it.

"The power of Rome is not comparable to that of Egypt. The old religion is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the remnants of the Holy See are not gone! ”

"If you take it by force, the people will be in turmoil; If you are lenient, you will be afraid that the government decree will be difficult to pass. ”

"Yizhi can't do as much as his uncle, so he can't do it unless he is public."

......

Song Zhen read the letter and knew that Tang Yi was really in trouble.

In fact, the situation in Rome was far from being comparable to that of Egypt.

The problem in Egypt is the unity of politics and religion, and the Fatimid dynasty is relatively mild, as long as the nobility and the royal family are taken and a new caliph is established, it can basically achieve a smooth transition.

However, Rome is different. His clerical authority is greater than that of the emperor, and even the emperor's accession to the throne needs to be recognized by the church. And the whole of Europe is not only extremely hierarchical, but the recognition of clerical authority has reached an almost crazy point.

The bishop is dead, and the HRE Emperor is also hanging, but the people's respect for the royal family and the recognition of the clerical authority have not weakened in the slightest.

Now, the Great Song Dynasty can only rule Rome by force, and it is far from being able to control it, and Tang Yi wants to assimilate as quickly as Egypt, but it is not so easy.

......

But, then again, that bastard son still hasn't come to see him? And the words have been released, now let him go to Rome, where will this old face go?

Even if he knew that Tang Yi needed someone there, Song Zhen couldn't save face, so he just vaguely mentioned Tang Yi when he replied.

"The wisdom of the past can be reused today."

Eight words, Tang Yi was confused, why did he have to be rotten and so twisted?

Letter: "Which predecessor was wise?" Please be clear. ”

Song Zhen replied, "The Book of Taishi can be checked. ”

......

Your uncle, Lao Tzu is in Rome, where do you let me find "Historical Records"? Besides, Tang Yi didn't come up with it even if he wanted to break his head, which paragraph Sima Qian wrote was the assimilation of the Han people and the barbarians, and it is applicable to today?

Letter: "Go around the bend again, Lao Tzu will get a white woman to Song Kai, let you hold a yellow-haired grandson!" ”

Song Zhen was speechless, this scoundrel could think of any bad moves, why couldn't he figure it out?

So he replied with four big words:

"Book burning...... Pit Confucian! ”

“.....”

......

Looking at these four big characters, Tang Yi had an impulse - kill back to Egypt and kill Song Zhen!

"Book-burning pit Confucianism?" This is really not the rule of the Han people, this is the rule of the first emperor.

Song Zhuangyuan compared the current Rome to the countries that had just been unified by the pre-Qin Dynasty, and regarded the situation of Confucianism at that time as a portrayal of the dominance of the Roman clergy.

I have to say that if you take out the disaster of Confucianism and use it, Song Gongxu is really special enough to be yin, isn't this just a clear telling Tang Yi to go on a killing spree?

However, the first emperor burned books and pit Confucianism, and the end was not very good......

......

Tang Yixin said, don't lie to me, Lao Tzu hasn't killed yet, and it's not easy to control. If this is a little more radical, won't it just blow up?

Write again, "Don't play with me, the people's will is irreversible!" ”

As a result, this time Song Zhen also lost his temper.

"Stupid!!"

"Qin Zhi's book burning, there is a next step!"

“......”

Seeing this, Tang Yi finally saw through, and his admiration for Song Zhen was simply five-body.

Bad! It's bad! Bad pus!!

......

For the Qin Dynasty, the burning of books did have its negative effects, and the social turmoil caused by it hastened the demise of the Qin Dynasty from one side.

However, as a latecomer, Song Zhen jumped out of the limitations of the time and looked at the problem from a historical perspective, but it was a vivid lesson for Tang Yi.

That is:

The act of burning books and destroying Confucianism was indeed harmful to Qin, but it also smashed the feudal system of the other countries, formed a situation of centralized power, and laid the initial concept of great unification.

At that time, China was actually very similar to Europe, with orthodox feudal dynasties, princes and princes, and strict hierarchies. The people of the Central Plains, like Europe now, strictly abide by this system and do not dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step.

And as Song Zhen said, jumping out, from the overall point of view, from the division of feudalism to centralization, there is indeed a next step in the book burning pit Confucianism, that is, the sentence shouted by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang:

Princes and generals, rather have a kind of !!?

......

This sentence is too powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the sentence that has the most far-reaching impact on Chinese history.

It is precisely because of this sentence that the poor people began not to succumb to fate, and they were reckless and could be the prime minister and guide the country; The scoundrel can win the country, pull the emperor off the horse, and exterminate the noble-born overlord by the Wujiang River.

Then, except for the change of dynasties caused by foreign invasions, the fate of China was largely determined by the bellies of the common people, rather than by faith and aristocracy......

If you make me hungry, I dare to oppose you!! This is already a law of the ages.

The Emperor Han died in civil strife, Tiantang died in a gang of salt dealers, and Da Ming even let a laid-off post man pull off his horse.

......

"Princely generals, would you rather have a kind!?" This seed sprouted in the hearts of the people......

Tang Yi really doesn't believe that Europa, an aristocratic supremacy system, can survive until a thousand years later?

Dream on!

Song Zhen's idea is actually not difficult, Tang Yi can draw inferences from others, and even come up with a strengthened version. On the one hand, he suppressed the European aristocracy with a heavy hammer, and on the other hand, he planted the mind of "rather having a kind".

On the other hand, like the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be better to give the people at the bottom a way to climb up?

In Europe in this era, knowledge and power were in the hands of the aristocracy and the church, and the common people, let alone knowledge, did not even have the right to take up arms.

It is possible, as in Egypt, to open academies first, to sell knowledge and dignity to the common people, and then to elect officials from among the common people......

Three-pronged approach: Do you believe in God or bread? Leave your fate to yourself, or to God? It's up to them to choose.

......

————————

"Alas...," Tang Yi sighed.

"Otherwise, there is no good thing in this group of scholars, and there is no discipline at all in this pit."
