Chapter 369 Only teach them etiquette, righteousness, and faith
In fact, the question raised by Li Chengqian is precisely due to Yaoyao's current doubts.
The premise is that Beichen is already strong enough to conquer any country with force. So, what should he do if he is a monarch then?
Is it to learn from the censor Wei Lin’s “Barriages are not of our race, but their hearts must be different”, or to learn from his father’s “Four barbarians can be like a family”?
This is the ultimate problem for Yaoyao, because it is about whether she will kill or not to kill the people she will meet in the future.
Zhang Xuanqing did not expect that as soon as His Royal Highness came up, he raised such a problem.
The key is...
This problem is just a hypothesis.
Assuming that Beichen is strong enough to destroy any country at will, then if His Highness is a monarch.
Next, it is how to deal with the relationship between the people of the Central Plains and the barbarians.
It can be said that even Zhang Xuanqing was asked about this question for a while.
"Why does Your Highness the Crown Prince have this idea?"
Since he couldn't answer, Zhang Xuanqing had to ask why first.
Li Chengqian immediately replied to him: "Because I believe that there will be that day in the near future. What else will happen to Zuo Shuzi?"
"Uh... nothing happened."
"Since that's the case, can you go with me to visit Mr. Song and his student?"
...
have a look!
That kind of wise temperament constantly emerges from the other person.
The posture of dragon and phoenix is the appearance of the sky and the sun.
This was originally a scholar who claimed to be able to meet each other and used it as a description of His Majesty today.
However……
Looking at His Royal Highness now, perhaps he is not inferior to His Majesty back then.
After that, the two of them went there together.
actually……
Regarding this issue, it can be classified as "border security", which means how to stabilize the border.
But Li Chengqian refined the "An Bian" again. What he wanted to know was how to truly make the world surrender.
Instead of surrendering today, they will be rebelled again after tomorrow.
...
In the backyard of a luxurious mansion.
Mr. Song and his disciple were there too. The little boy was cooking tea next to him, so leisurely.
Before Li Chengqian arrived at the mansion, the two were still talking, the prince did not seem to be a person who likes to make friends with knowledgeable people in the world, but it was a pity for him to be his disciple.
And his disciple is actually a person who is not very interested in these fame, fortune and power.
He said to his teacher: "This is better! Anyway, my disciples have no interest in these things."
"You...you are really!"
Just as the old man was also careless about the young man in front of him and had no choice, the servant suddenly hurried in and reported: "The head of the family, Grandpa, the prince, asks for a meeting."
Hearing this, the old man glared at him.
"Quick! Get my shoes!"
Li Chengqian was waiting outside the door. After all, it was not good to break in.
in addition……
Li Chengqian also brought gifts.
It was given to him by Yaoyao. After all, it was the first time I came to the door. If I came to the door empty, I would be embarrassed, so I prepared some excellent tea.
Soon, Li Chengqian met Mr. Song and was also welcomed in.
On the way...
Mr. Song also said politely: "Your Highness the Crown Prince can come to the humble house in person, which really makes the humble house shine brightly."
Li Chengqian replied to him indifferently, "Old Song is polite. I came to him without permission today, but I felt a little abrupt."
Mr. Song: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is so serious. I wonder why Your Highness is coming today?"
Li Chengqian said, "Last time, did Mr. Song say that he had a disciple who wanted to recommend him to me? Some time ago, I had something to do at home, and now I finally found time to visit him. In addition... I also came to ask a great scholar like Mr. Song for advice. Today, I should not disturb Mr. Song to entertain guests, right? If this prince was not wrong, this one must be the disciple you referred to in the first place."
Mr. Song also said happily: "That's right! Zi Rui, I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Guo Zirui said, "Caomin has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengqian: "No gifts. Not bad! It looks very different from ordinary scholars, and it has a bit of the character of the Jin Dynasty."
After chatting for a while, Li Chengqian then told the purpose of his work.
cough!
To be honest, even a great scholar like Mr. Song, he just repeated some books from ancient times and what others said.
One of them is that they are very discriminatory against barbarians and say that they are like beasts.
Since the other party is a beast, it naturally cannot be treated as a human being.
So, Li Chengqian asked, "So, if there is one day, Mr. Song will teach me to kill one and kill one pair? Is this too cruel?"
Mr. Song also hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, I don't mean that. But..."
Li Chengqian: "What is it? Or, in fact, there is no need to kill them, you can enslave them."
Obviously, this touched Mr. Song’s knowledge blind spot.
When Mr. Song was finally about to be unable to hold on, his disciple stood up and said, "The problem of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is based on an impossible assumption. However, in fact, with the strength of our dynasty, there is no such possibility. Even if it is defeated, the Eastern Turks will only break up their people. Even if someone really surrenders, it is only a small part of them and they are not considered conquest at all."
"Most of them will still wander everywhere, in the vast grasslands. Due to different customs, people from the Central Plains cannot move to such a place to live. Then the barbarians are still barbarians. How difficult is it to talk about conquest? Your Highness's question is like, if Your Highness can pick the moon, then where should the moon be placed next, because there is no such possibility in the world, so there is no point in discussing it at all. But..."
"But even though this is impossible, if it really happens, Caomin would have some ideas."
Li Chengqian: "What's your idea?"
Guo Zirui said: "In all dynasties, some have used martial arts to conquer them, some have cultivated literature and married them, and some have refused to accept them. These three are the main points of governance from barbarians. However, the Crown Prince's proposal is different from them. In the past, only conquer them, but now, your highness has to add the word "courage", which can only be like imitating the ancestors and using etiquette and righteousness to achieve virtue. In ancient times, the sages ruled the world, and the people respected their righteousness, and the people obeyed their faith, and the people believed in their faith and used their feelings."
"So if His Highness the Crown Prince really wants to make the barbarians surrender, he can only teach them etiquette, righteousness, and faith. However... because of the different habits of life and without the long-term integration, it is absolutely impossible to succeed. Since His Highness the Crown Prince gave an impossible question, the grass people will answer you with an impossible answer."
