Chapter 234: Fighting with Confucianism

"Prince!

How dare you humiliate me?

Your Majesty, please make the decision for the old minister. Marquis of Lantian insults the minister in the hall!" The old minister cried.

Li Er frowned. Bai Fan didn't go to court easily, so he was so angry when he went to court?

"Lantian Hou, the court meeting discusses state affairs, and do not attack colleagues verbally. Thinking of your young and ignorant, you have never been to the court, you should not commit any more!"

Bai Fan bowed and said loudly, "Thank you for your tolerance!"

However, I don’t know that this old minister is obviously in a high position in my Tang Dynasty temple, but his words and deeds are all favoring the Western Turks. That’s why I think that he is colluding with the Gentiles in private! Please observe clearly!"

"Zhu Zi, I have never had selfish thoughts, and I have never colluded with the Gentiles!

Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged, please make the decision!”

"Bai Fan, don't talk nonsense. Xu Aiqing is a loyal and kind person. How could this be?"

"Will Zhongliang think about marrying his daughter to an enemy country? Will Zhongliang think about the enemy country? In order to match his identity as an enemy country, he will be appointed as a princess?

Although Bai Fan was young and ignorant, he was like asking, what was the Western Turks considered? Are the barbarians worthy of marrying me, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty?"

The old official surnamed Xu explained, "I proposed to be granted the title of princess for the sake of my Tang Dynasty. For the Gentiles, the Tang Dynasty should show its due demeanor. If a princess is married out, it would be stingy!

This time, the Western Turks came here sincerely to marry. It is beneficial to diplomatic relations with the two countries, so why not?"

"Didn't you see clearly the true face of his Western Turkic proposing marriage?

Why did the Tang Dynasty princess not ask for help but marry the daughter of the King of Rencheng?

Isn’t it because the King of Rencheng was ordered to manage the Shuofang wool business? After getting married with him, the Western Turks would have more conveniences by taking action on wool. They made a good plan!

The last time the Western Turks ambushed our Xuanjia Army, the King of Rencheng was dissatisfied. Although the imperial edict agreed to acquire the wool of the Western Turks, the King of Rencheng said that the countries who purchased the Western Turks after they had taken over the contract were made. It was precisely because of this that the Western Turks came up with this marriage plan to plot!

Do you think you can still marry the princess?” Bai Fan asked.

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Li Daozong had provoked the Western Turks. No wonder they came to him!

At this time, the old minister Cui Junsu spoke, "It is a good thing that the Western Turks are willing to make peace with us and are unwilling to attack. There are countless people who have formed relatives among countries in the past dynasties. The old ministers think that agreeing to their request will do nothing to the Tang Dynasty!"

Before Li Er could speak, Bai Fan spoke again, "There is no harm in all your benefits? Cui Lao Er, are you as old as your elder brother?

The Tang Dynasty was rich and the Western Turks were poor. This is a fact!

It's like a beggar asking to marry the daughter of a rich businessman. If he says he has no intention, he won't believe it!

After marrying our daughter, his poor Western Turks could gradually rely on the wealth and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! But they were always barbarians and always external hidden dangers. After many years, they might be Jie Li or Goguryeo again!

Have you forgotten an old saying? You are lying on the side of the bed to sleep soundly? We cannot raise tigers for trouble!"

At this time, Du Ruhui stood up and spoke, "No, Lantian Hou's words are reasonable!

Although the diplomatic relations between the two countries are a bit indecent compared to wealthy businessmen and beggars, it is terrifying to think about it carefully, and it is indeed like this relationship!

The princesses who have married relatives in the Central Plains in all dynasties, whether they are voluntarily or not, will give us huge dowry, whether it is direct wealth, or the craftsman skills of the dowry, etc., and will eventually serve the barbarians!

Isn’t the one who exchanged this marriage back to the end of the barbarians who came to fight back against the Central Plains?”

Bai Fan smiled and said, "It's not just that! The barbarian has a custom of a Hu man, and is very rude. He means that the successor can inherit everything from his father's generation! Including property, women, etc.!

Just like Wang Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty, she married twice. At first, it was the Huns Khanyu Huhanye and gave birth to a son. Later, Lao Shanyu died three years later. Wang Zhaojun married Lao Shanyu's eldest son Fuzhulei Shanyu and gave birth to two daughters!

In addition, during the Sui Dynasty, Princess Yicheng, who married outside the Great Wall, initially married to the Eastern Turkic Khan. Later, after the death of Qimin Khan, Princess Yicheng married his three sons in turn, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jie Li Khan, and now belongs to Jie Li Khan!

You guys, are you willing to be so shameless? If it were your daughter, would you?"

After listening to this story, the general was instantly in an uproar!

They all cursed the corruption of the barbarians!

In the past, when encountering such moral decay, civil servants broke out first. Today is different. Regarding the customs of the Hu people outside the border, knowledgeable civil servants naturally read the history books of the previous dynasty's marriage, so they understood such things, so they could accept it after listening to it, but the generals didn't know about these, so they became confused!

"Your Majesty, please allow Mo Jiang to go to pacify these shameless barbarians. It's simply annoying! Old Cheng is ashamed to live in the same blue sky with them!" Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and asked, and smiled at Bai Fan. It was obvious that he was supporting Bai Fan and wanted to muddle the water!

Li Er pondered, "Oh, it's really rude, so the marriage is so unfair, so let's stop the matter of marriage. If the Western Turks mention it again, just drive it out. I don't want to see such a shameless person!

As for killing the other party, let’s bear it. I’ll come back two months ago and take a break before talking about it!”

"Your Majesty, no!

The customs outside the border are like this, and it is not my Central Plains. It is normal for them to not know etiquette. Moreover, the rules like the grassland have been passed down for thousands of years. Hu Feng cannot be judged by the etiquette standards of our Tang Dynasty!

Since the Marquis of Lantian said that the Western Turks were greedy for our wealth, then we can refuse to get a dowry, and it is okay to marry each other. After all, having a marriage relationship between the two countries is conducive to peace. Just like the King Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty, she brought peace to the Han Dynasty and the Huns for more than 50 years, which is very beneficial to the people!" Cui Junsu shouted.

Bai Fan was angry. Why did he sound like he was going to take the initiative to surrender to the enemy, and he kept saying that it was for peace?

"Mr. Cui, does peace between the two countries depend on a woman? So what's the use of asking us to wait for generals?" Li Jing asked angrily!

"You and other generals only know how to fight on the battlefield. Stop killing is not the way to peace!"

Bai Fan shouted, "Will you envy Wang Zhaojun for the great man who has brought decades of peace? What about decades later? Did the great man still be attacked by the Hu people all year round?

When Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, some people said that the First Emperor was warlike and cruel, but it was Qin who unified the world that the hundreds of years of wars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period could end. This was the permanent peace!

If you want to get permanent peace between the Western Turks and our Tang Dynasty, then there is only one way, which is to make the Western Turks a place for our Tang Dynasty. In this way, if you are all your own people, you will naturally be peaceful!"

"Okay! Bai Fan's words are reasonable!

Relying on a woman to marry is never a long-term solution. I want to follow the example of the First Emperor and unify the world and end the troubled times. Therefore, such marriage can only stop the itch of tinea scabies. Don’t mention it again!”

"Your Majesty, you will die if you are wary. When the battle begins, you will suffer a lot! Although Qin is good at fighting and unifying, he will die in the second lifetime! Your Majesty must take this as an advice!" Several old ministers cried and stopped him.
