Fang Xuanling walked to the entrance of Zhengshitang, turned around suddenly and said, "It's getting late, Xuancheng, may I buy you a drink?"
Wei Zheng was embarrassed, and looked at the document memorial on the table.
Fang Xuanling took three steps at a time and made two steps, rushed forward and pulled Wei Zheng back: "You will never be able to deal with these official affairs, rest tonight, I will help you with it tomorrow!"
Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling with a serious expression on his face, couldn't help laughing and said, "OK, OK, Xuanling, you don't have to use such force, it's up to you, drink tonight!"
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling left the Political Affairs Hall together, and then came to Fang Xuanling's mansion hand in hand.
Mrs. Fang's Mrs. Lu arranged a table of side dishes for the two of them. There were no delicacies from mountains and seas, but there were vinegar celery and salted soybeans that Wei Zheng liked most.
Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng raised their glasses and said, "Xuan Cheng, I have always had a question, can I ask you?
Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Fang Gong, why be polite, just ask."
Fang Xuanling put down the wine cup, tilted his head and thought for a while, "Xuan Cheng has experienced three masters, in your opinion, who is stronger among these three?"
Wei Zheng picked up the wine cup and drank heavily, then wiped his mouth, and thought deeply: "Pu Shangong Li Mi, a generation of heroes, has perseverance, courage, responsibility and determination, but unfortunately he is too suspicious. But use, and eventually fail...
Fang Xuanling held the wine glass thoughtfully.
Wei Zhengdao: "Xia Wang Dou Jiande, benevolent and just, courteous corporal, and also from Penghao, knows the sufferings of the people, but unfortunately he is indecisive and mentally weak, so he was defeated in Hulao Pass..."
Wei Zheng paused, looked out of the window, his eyes blurred: "Three generations on, only Your Majesty can be called the hero of a great country!"
The concept of great power.Both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, have multiple political meanings.
Western Zhou feudal.A hundred miles is a country, and ten miles is a home. During the period of becoming a king, hundreds of large and small countries were entrusted at one go. Among the princes, after hundreds of years of fighting and annexing each other, the so-called big countries have also formed their unwritten standards.
Thousands of miles of land, thousands of vehicles, is a big country.
The so-called chariots and chariots mean that the country's standing troops have reached more than [-] people. The Zheng, Song, and Qi countries in the early Spring and Autumn Period were such standard big countries.
Later, through political innovation and economic development, Qi, Jin, Qin and Chu finally formed a super power that dominated one side in the form of "hegemony".
The historical trend is rolling forward, and the concept of the so-called big country is also constantly evolving. The simple ranking method based on geographical area and military strength is constantly being impacted. The concept of big country has begun to carry more and more political and diplomatic connotations.
The so-called big country can make the princes of the world serve it with ministers and servants. In a big country in its heyday, a mere envoy can destroy a country by a mere envoy. Xuan Ce, king of Banchen Tang, is a typical representative of the power of a big country.
The so-called "Whoever commits a strong man will be punished even if he is far away" is a slogan chanted with a naked and undisguised chauvinism during the heyday of the great powers in the Central Plains.
Once upon a time, when Tian Khan was angry, dust and sand rose up in the desert of the Western Regions, and the turbid waves of the East China Sea reached the sky. Even if the lazy and powerful man in the Tai Chi Palace farted, he could stir up a mighty wind and thunder on the desert grassland.
Wei Zheng suddenly remembered the grand blueprint that Chen Ying had drawn to him.
PS: Last night on New Year's Eve, I drank a few more drinks with my family.The update was delayed, and I got up to code at twelve o'clock. Unfortunately, the sound of firecrackers continued, and many ideas were interrupted... I wish you all a happy new year!
Chapter 65 leaves little chance for the Turks
Chapter 65 leaves little chance for the Turks
The idea of the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the center has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since ancient times.Including smart people like Wei Zheng, he always believes that the Tang Dynasty is the center of the world and the whole of the world.
However, ever since Wei Zheng looked at the huge map that was six feet three feet long and two feet four feet wide in Chen Ying's study, he discovered that the Tang Dynasty only occupied a mere corner of the world.
This world map is based on Chen Ying's fragmentary memories of later generations, combined with the knowledge of this era, and the information obtained by Tiger Yicong, as well as the places where the company passed.
It can be said that the closer to the Tang Dynasty, such as Goguryeo, Buyeo, Silla, and Baekje in the east of Liaodong, there is almost no surprise, including Tubo, Tuyuhun, and Anxi Duhufu on the plateau, which were favored by Chen Ying. Ye Zhen, these are also very detailed.
However, for the Sasanian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Dashi, and the Gupta Empire (India) in the southwest, as well as Luzon, Luyepati (now Java), and Jinzhou (Sumatra), these are all based on Some trivial records, and Chen Ying's memory are supplemented.
When Wei Zheng saw this huge map for the first time, he also thought that it was something that Chen Ying had messed up.Later, Wei Zheng consulted a large number of classics in the secretary's prison.
At this time, there was no "Da Tang Western Regions", but there was "Buddha Records" reformed by the eminent monk Fa Xian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.There is a section in it that records the scene of the Gupta Empire in detail: fifty miles west of the city, there is a town named Duwei, where there is the relic of Kasyapa Tathagata.Going southeast for twelve yoyans, to Napijiayi, there is the relic of Kulou Qin Buddha.Going northward from here, within less than a yoyan, there is the relic of Kanasamuni Buddha.From then on, traveling eastward, less than one yoyan, we arrived at the Acropolis of Gavilo.
After comparison.
Wei Zheng was surprised to find that the maps in Chen Ying's study were exactly the same as those recorded in "Buddha Records".Although the conclusion is a bit one-sided, Wei Zheng believes that Chen Ying will never make a fake.
From this, Wei Zheng can know that there are hundreds of countries around the Tang Dynasty, some big and some small, the big ones are the Sasanian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Dashi Empire...
Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling and sighed, "Xuanling, we have just begun to defeat the Eastern Turks!"
Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile, "Xuancheng, are you drunk?"
Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm not drunk. I saw a huge map of the world in General Chen's study. This map is different from what we saw!"
Fang Xuanling got up and said: "Unfortunately, Princess Pingyang has left Chang'an, we may not see this map anymore!"
Wei Zheng got up, pulled Fang Xuanling and said, "Although Wei Zheng doesn't have the ability of photographic memory, he believes that he will never forget something that he has seen for an hour."
Fang Xuanling said: "You said, you recorded this picture?"
Wei Zheng nodded.
……
In the Nuan Pavilion of Ting Yuxuan in Furong Garden, Li Jiancheng picked up the jug and poured wine for Li Yuan.
While pouring wine, Li Jiancheng vented his grievances: "Father, you have been too leisurely these past few years. You have been hiding in the harem all day, procuring women to have children, and you don't even know how hard your son is working outside."
Li Yuan laughed all of a sudden.
Li Jiancheng said, "Father is still laughing... Father, you should help the child, don't just sit around and idle."
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head again and again: "Da Lang, you have been the emperor for three years, and you are still talking about children. Father, I can't help you now..."
Li Yuan was drunk and hazy, laughing loudly.
Li Yuan is very clear, don't look at what Li Jiancheng said easily.In fact, for him, is it not a temptation?
When Li Yuan said something that couldn't help you.Li Jiancheng was obviously relieved.
Li Jiancheng drank the wine in his glass and said: "Father, I want to give the positions of prime ministers who want to move the three provinces, and I plan to let veteran officials like Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda go back to the political affairs hall to participate in state affairs. I don't know what suggestions my father has.
Li Yuan frowned, and said lightly: "How many people know about the activation of Xiao Yu?"
Since Li Jiancheng dared to use Wu De Dynasty as the elder, it shows that he has completely controlled the court.He is not afraid of old ministers like Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda singing opposite dramas to him.
Li Jiancheng thought about it: "My son just wants to talk to Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda, two old ministers, and tried it out, but he hasn't discussed with Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng yet.
Li Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Da Lang, you've done something wrong, you can't hire someone just based on their qualifications."
Li Jiancheng frowned and listened carefully.
Li Yuan said with a smile: "Xiao Yu is not a bad person, but his temper is too arrogant, and he doesn't get on well with his colleagues. Xiao Yu's errand of offending people like the Yushi doctor is okay, and he is in charge of the Minister of Finance. There must be something wrong..."
Li Jiancheng nodded.
