Tang's dining table

The stronger a person is, the more confident he is and the broader his tolerance.

This characteristic is the same at the national level. Only when you are confident that your own beliefs are irreplaceable will you allow other beliefs to come in.

The only purpose of letting other faiths in is to highlight how great your own faith is.

Currently, Yunchu could not find anyone to rule the Persian Protectorate, so he sent his old thieves to serve as city lords of the twenty-one cities.

Their only purpose as city lords is to collect all the taxes from these twenty-one cities in the next ten years.

Yun Chu knew that this was unreasonable, but there was nothing he could do about it. The Tang Dynasty's policies in the Western Regions were unified. Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui were both implementing such policies, so how could the Persian Protectorate be an exception?

However, there are not exceptions.

Naha didn't understand the decree issued by Pei Xingjian.

In Naha's view, the people of the Buddhist country are already very poor. At this time, they are still levying a large amount of taxes, not to mention whether they can pay it. Even if they can pay it, Naha is not prepared to pay it.

If the taxes were collected by the emperor, what would the Buddhist country eat? How can such a large temple be maintained?

Of course Pei Xingjian knew what kind of person Naha was, so instead of going to Naha to ask for money, he sent Wang Mingyuan, the imperial envoy.

When Yunchu returned to the Buddhist Kingdom, he happened to see Naha beating Wang Mingyuan, and she was beating and cursing at the same time. A sixth-grade doctor did not treat people properly, and came to the Buddhist Kingdom to collect money from his family members. He was simply impatient to live. .

Naha beat Wang Mingyuan with a stick.

It's the kind of baseball bat that's thick at one end and thin at the other.

Wang Mingyuan fell to the ground, covered in dust and with blood on his face, but he was very strong-willed. While being beaten with a stick, he pointed at Naha with one hand and roared: "If you can, beat grandpa to death, otherwise, he will definitely Let’s break up with you!”

Wen Wen, who came back early, was holding a teapot and watching Naha's murder. Master Fahua was twisting Buddhist beads and chanting sutras and praying for Wang Mingyuan. Zhong Kui looked at Wang Mingyuan with pity and felt that this man was serving as an official for the first time.

The little Tubo girl Dolma opened her mouth wide and bit Wang Mingyuan's thigh. No matter how hard Wang Mingyuan shook her, she couldn't get rid of her.

Naha's stick kept falling on Wang Mingyuan's thick flesh, so Wang Mingyuan had been beaten for a long time, but he still had the energy to continue shouting.

"Okay, okay, grandpa will remember it, remember you, this cheap maid..."

After saying the word "slut", Wen Wenwen turned around, because the group of Shaolin Temple monks who had just beaten Wang Mingyuan's followers rushed over.

Monks are compassionate and do not kill, so they have developed many methods of fighting that will only cause pain to people, but will not hurt their lives.

The screams coming from Wang Mingyuan's mouth no longer sounded like human voices, and Naha finally saw her eldest brother who was covered with dust.

After not seeing each other for many days, my brother's originally fair face was now covered with red blood streaks. Some of these red blood streaks came from the cold wind in the Western Region, and some came from the ultraviolet rays on the plateau.

Naha felt heartache and was about to jump into Yunchu's arms.

Naha has finally grown into a big girl. Because of her Cypriot blood, she is more mature than the women of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, during her time in the Western Regions, she ate a lot of meat. Milk and other high-calorie foods finally ate him up to the point where Yun Chu, his elder brother, could no longer hold him.

Therefore, as soon as Yun Chu stretched out his hand, he held down Naha's head to prevent her from moving in. Then he raised his hand and pinched her nose and said, "You've grown up——"

Naha was very dissatisfied, but she also knew that she had grown up and could no longer live curled up in her brother's arms like she did when she was a child.

Wang Mingyuan, who had been tortured to death by the Shaolin Temple monks, rolled on the ground, grabbed Yun Chu's shoes and said: "Kill this cheap maid."

Yun Chu didn't answer. He shook his foot and shook off Wang Mingyuan's hand. Then he lightly stepped on Wang Mingyuan's mouth. When the boot left, Wang Mingyuan's mouth full of teeth fell out one after another.

Wen Wen took a sip of tea and said, "When we go back, we will have to deal with many, many such characters.

In the third and fourth years of Xianqing's reign, there were 459 special officers in the two palaces, 721 retinues, 1,687 imperial officers, and more than two people were promoted beyond their ranks. Thousands of people.

Among them, in the past ten thousand years, 111 people have been crammed into the two counties of Chang'an. These people even relied on the power of the queen to evacuate the county magistrates, bookkeepers and county captains of our two counties.

There will be a lot of things to do when we go back. "

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Have they forgotten that I am not an easy-going Shangguan? Have they forgotten the screams in the county magistrate's office? Have they forgotten the two white bones in the Imperial Medical Office?"

She smiled softly and said, "We have been in the Western Region for two years, and those greedy people have forgotten our legend."

Yun Chu sighed and looked in the direction of Chang'an and said, "Your Majesty really doesn't want to quarrel with the Queen, so he started to shirk responsibility.

Brother Wen, you must remember that our Majesty is not a person who can be entrusted with his life, so when doing things, you still need to pay attention to your strategy. "

Yunchu pushed Naha away and tried to get his head under his arm. He took her hand and walked straight to the Buddhist Kingdom, which was just around the corner.

Wang Mingyuan fell to the ground. Except for the fact that his mouth was full of teeth, his face was unharmed.

Even so, he sat on the ground, pointed at Yun Chu's back, and kept yelling and cursing.

When he was about to enter the door, Yun Chu turned around and glanced at Wang Mingyuan. Just this look made Wang Mingyuan shut his mouth immediately. He felt cold all over, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart, as if he was being attacked by a fierce tiger. Stared.

Yun Chu walked into the Buddhist Kingdom. Master Fahua, Zhong Kui, Liang Ying, Xiao Yuhua and the monks from Shaolin Temple also walked into the Buddhist Kingdom. As the door of the Buddhist Kingdom closed with a bang, Wang Mingyuan sat on the ground and picked up his own things one by one. After putting the fallen teeth into his pocket, he climbed onto a horse with the help of his staggering entourage, and then ran wildly in the direction of Qiuci.

When Yunchu came back, the old monkey didn't come forward. He stood in a dark corner and watched coldly.

When Yunchu's figure disappeared in the Buddhist Kingdom, he looked at Wang Mingyuan who was leaving, thinking about everything.

After Yunchu met Selema and gave her a bag of gems, Selema let Yunchu go and continued to sit under the sun with her loyal bitch Afanti, spinning wool, chatting, and discussing the future of Selema. development direction.

This is the best way she can live her life.

"Judging from the violent conquests that swept through the Western Regions this time, it seems that the Queen does not attach great importance to the Western Regions, and only regards them as a place to make money.

In other words, in the Queen's heart, she also dislikes opening up territories. The real domain residents in her heart only exist within Yumen Pass. "

Back in the room, Yun Chu washed up while listening to Wen Rou's next analysis of the situation.

After Yunchu came to the Western Regions to open up trade routes with the Great Food Country, he had basically accomplished all his goals. Next, as long as the Great Food Country's caravan entered the Western Regions, Yunchu was ready to return to Chang'an with this super caravan.

There is no doubt that Wen Wen is a very forward-looking person. Before returning to Chang'an, his focus had begun to shift towards Chang'an's internal affairs.

He didn't want to be like Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui, who rushed into Chang'an's new political form in confusion.

The fall of the Changsun family was an earth-shaking change for the political ecology of the Tang Dynasty. The old nobles and nobles were slowly withdrawing from the political stage of the Tang Dynasty, and were replaced by a brand new court.

Queen Wu Mei has been pregnant and giving birth to children for many years. Now that she is no longer pregnant and giving birth to children, she quickly showed an extremely strong will to make progress.

"I don't understand very much. Not only is the emperor now at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, but he is even more arrogant in our Tang Dynasty. People say that why the emperor is willing to disperse his power is very puzzling.

Where did the wise and courageous emperor who conquered the Western Regions and destroyed the Three Eastern Kingdoms go? "

Zhong Kui was obviously dissatisfied with the current emperor. Even when the emperor deliberately humiliated him because of his ugly appearance, he never expressed such disappointment to the emperor.

"The biggest problem is that you can't help your family when you enter, and you can't defeat foreign enemies when you go out. The emperor was originally better at the hands of women in the palace. In the past few years, because he remembered Emperor Taizong's instructions, he was still able to serve diligently.

In the past few years, my country, the Tang Dynasty, has basically eliminated all external aggression. If we look at the internal situation and have no rivals, we will naturally relax. "

The words Wen Wen said were obviously from his ancestor of the Wen family.

He was not surprised at all that Li Zhi had changed like this. History books said that at this time, Li Zhi was suffering from wind and dizziness, and Wu Mei took the opportunity to come in.

Yun Chu had a different view on this point, and his view was similar to that of the ancestor of the Wen family.

It has to be said that Li Zhi was the best successor chosen by Emperor Taizong. After all, he always remembered Emperor Taizong's teachings.

After completing Emperor Taizong's final instructions, he lost his goal and gradually relaxed.

The emperor was not alone in having this kind of problem, it could even be said to be a common trend in the Tang Dynasty.

The same is true for Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian.

A dynasty that has lost its goal of progress, no matter how high it reached the peak before, will undoubtedly start to decline from the moment it loses its goal.

Governing a country is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

"It's not a big deal. This is not a big deal. With people like us here, what if the Tang Dynasty starts to be in chaos?

We were born in the Tang Dynasty, and if we don't do anything to turn the tide and help the building collapse, wouldn't it be a waste of time for us to come to this world? "

Wen Wen looked at Yun Chu blankly, sucking in cold air like a toothache and said, "I want to know right now, where does your extraordinary confidence come from?"

Chapter 2, hahaha, I took my son on a blind date.
