Hearing that Zhang Zong could give himself some advice, the Ni Nirvana Master also showed a meditative look. After a moment, he raised his head and stared at Zhang Zong and said, "If I choose to be a Tang Dynasty man and give up restoring the country, what advice would you give me?"

"If Brother Fuguo really chooses to be a Tang Dynasty man, there is no need to curry favor with others in order to restore the country like before. I suggest you enter the court as an official. With your talent, it should not be difficult to make some political achievements, and you will naturally be accepted by others!"

Zhang Zong paused and then said, "Of course, at the beginning, you will definitely be rejected or even slandered by some people, but all you have to do is turn a blind eye and listen. Even if others use their Persian identity to humiliate you, you must not fight back, and you cannot fight back like before, because others despise Persians and conflict with others. This kind of thing must not be done again. You must downplay your Persian identity from every word and action. Only in this way can other people slowly accept you."

"Looking away from seeing? Hearing it?" Master Ni Ni showed a painful expression when he heard this, and his eyes were slightly red. "Brother Zhang, do you know how much suffering we Persians suffered after coming to the Tang Dynasty?"

"I know!" Zhang Zong replied lightly.

"No! You don't know!" The Ni Nirvana suddenly slapped the table, staring at Zhang Zong with scarlet eyes and said again, "The great cannibals are extremely cruel. Countless Persians died under their scimitars. In order to survive, the remaining Persians could only abandon the land left by our ancestors and fled to the Tang Dynasty from thousands of miles away. I wonder how many people drowned on the sea or died of thirst in the desert!"

Speaking of this, the voice of Ni Nishima began to become loud: "But in the end we escaped to the Tang Dynasty. Compared with Persia, the Tang Dynasty was like the legendary place where the God of Light lived. Even when I first came, I thought I was very happy and never wanted to return to the homeland where wars continued."

"But what we didn't expect was that although the Tang Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous, it was extremely difficult for us outsiders to integrate into this place. We were speechless and penniless. In order to survive in the Tang Dynasty, countless Persians gave up their self-esteem and shame. Women started a flesh-hearted business, and men were cheating and cheating. They could do everything they could. It can be said that as long as the Persians were mentioned, countless Tang people would feel contempt, but they had no idea what we had experienced!"

The more Ni Nie Master spoke, the more excited he became. In the end, even tears couldn't stop coming out. Wan'er behind Zhang Zong was also startled by the way Ni Nie Master looked, but she was tightly guarding behind Zhang Zong.

In contrast, Zhang Zong seemed very calm. He waited until Master Ni Ni finished speaking, and then he looked at the other party indifferently and said, "The Persians who could escape to the Tang Dynasty alive have indeed suffered all the sufferings in the world, but..."

When Zhang Zong said this, his aura changed. His eyes were sharp and he looked straight into the eyes of Ni Nishima. He said coldly again: "But that is your own business of the Persians. Others have no responsibility at all, nor are they obliged to understand the suffering behind you. Moreover, I, the Tang Dynasty, can accept you refugees who are deceased, have been done with kindness. Do you still want the court to offer you delicious food and drink to you, and let the people of the Tang Dynasty serve you?"

Zhang Zong's questioning also scared the Ni Nie Master. This was the first time he saw Zhang Zong get angry, and immediately became weak. Then he hesitantly explained: "I...I don't mean that!"

"I know that's not what you mean. Whether it's an individual or an entire nation, dignity is earned by oneself, not by others' charity. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, the Turks on the grassland were several times stronger than us. Every year, countless Tang people were plundered to the grassland as slaves. Now the entire northern grassland is included in the territory of our Tang Dynasty. Who dares to disrespect the Turks when they see the Tang people?"

In the end, Zhang Zong burst out with a strong aura, but the Ni Nishi Master did not dare to look him in the eyes anymore. The Tang Dynasty made the Turks scared him, and it was the one who came out of Emperor Taizong that year.

Seeing that the Ni Nie Master did not dare to speak, Zhang Zong calmed down his emotions and said, "Discrimination is everywhere in this world. The Tang Dynasty is strong, and the Tang people naturally discriminated against outsiders. Not only you Persians, Goguryeo, Turks, and Tubo people are also discriminated against. Moreover, even within the Tang Dynasty, rich people will discriminate against poor people, nobles will discriminate against civilians, founding nobles will discriminate against new nobles, etc. You Persians do not want to be discriminated against others, so you must show the ability to not be discriminated against others!"

"But... but we fled, had no foundation in the Tang Dynasty, and even had no homeland. What else can we do except women?" Ni Nishima said in great pain. He admitted that what Zhang Zong said made sense, but they had no one long time ago, and it was too difficult for them to support themselves with just one hand.

"Then there is nothing to do. If an alien nation wants to integrate into a powerful empire, it will have to bear a huge price, but this price generally only needs to be paid by previous generations. Perhaps with the future intermarriage and exchanges, one day, your Persian descendants will completely integrate into the Tang Dynasty, and you will never be able to distinguish you and me anymore!" Zhang Zong said coldly again.

"Is there no other way?" Master Ni Ni asked again without giving up.

"No, national integration has never been a matter of peace, but ended with war, killing, and even with the complete destruction of one side. In contrast, the Persians were only discriminated against in the Tang Dynasty, and they were already very lucky." Zhang Zong shook his head decisively and replied, "How can there be so many things in this world that have the best of both worlds?

When Master Ni Ni's face heard this, his face became even more painful. Although he was unwilling to accept Zhang Zong's words emotionally, his reason told him that although Zhang Zong's words were cold, they were the truth. In fact, he could think of these things, but he was unwilling to think about them before, and he was even more unwilling to believe them.

After a while, Ni Nie Master temporarily broke free from the pain. He frowned at this moment. After a while, he suddenly looked up and stared at Zhang Zong and asked again: "Then if I choose to restore the country, Brother Zhang, can you give me a clear path?"
