Chapter 53 Political Views

In the Yinyunzhai and Sun family, there were other beautiful concubines in the King of Jin's mansion. Xue Chongxun closed his door and thanked the guests for three days without surprise.

In fact, there is nothing fun to have fun in this era. It’s nothing more than vocals, sex, dogs and horses, birds, insects, gambling, etc. Xue Chongxun was completely uninterested, and polo and other things were too tiring. He just came back from Anbei Town and had no intention of having sex. What else can he do to rest at home besides playing with women?

The descendants are all empty-handed.

But a few days later, he had to calm down. After he came back, he went to the Daming Palace to meet Princess Taiping. At this time, he had to contact the court officials, otherwise it would be a good thing that everyone would never see others.

After walking out of the house to the prince's country not far away, Xue Chongxun felt drowsy for a short period of time, and his mind had not yet been taken back from all kinds of unrestrained joy. His mind was blank and he could hardly think about the important matters.

This state made him return to his previous student days in a daze. He always couldn't read the textbook when he went back during the holiday.

However, as long as you sit in the front hall of the prince's kingdom for two days, even if you don't do anything practical, look at the official documents sent by the officials, you will slowly calm down and get back to your state.

That's what he thought.

Erling hasn't come back yet, and fortunately Xue Chongxun didn't go along with them, otherwise it would be boring to walk back slowly for the thousand-mile journey.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I don't feel cool early in the morning.

Xue Chongxun walked into the front hall where the business was handled. Fengmanlou, walked through the open hall on the second floor, and entered the study room inside.

Unless in some places where there are many people, Xue Chongxun basically does not stay in the open hall. The space there is too large, sitting alone is like staying in the wild, and there is no sense of security.

He sat down in front of the desk and found that a layer of gauze was installed on the wall next to him. The scenery outside was not so clear, but it should be able to prevent mosquitoes.

At this time, someone from the Prince's Office came in and said: Du Xian, the governor of Longyou, came to Beijing to report his duties. He just arrived at the capital the day before yesterday. He came to the Prince's Kingdom first and asked if the prince was back.I told him that the prince was walking in a hurry on the road. Although he had arrived in Beijing, he had to rest at home for a few days, so he asked him to send someone to ask about it today and tomorrow.

I see.Xue Chongxun responded casually.

After the officials left, he sat quietly for a while and thought to himself: Du Xian is still a good person.

Looking back on the battlefield against the enemy Tubo, Du Xian actually saved Xue Chongxun's life.

At that time, the Battle of Helong was approaching, and Du Xian led Hexi troops to gather in Shanzhou, but Xue Chongxun had already attacked the light cavalry first (to grab Princess Tuyuhun). He was intercepted on the way back, and the Shence Army was about to lose all. Fortunately, Du Xian's reinforcements arrived and then became a bargain.

Although rescuing the head coach is the responsibility of the frontier general, if you meet someone who is unconscious, where can you catch up if you come too slowly?

Therefore, when Xue Chongxun met Du Xian after the war, he was very grateful and asked him to serve as the governor of Longyou to handle Tubo affairs, promising that once there was improvement, he could become a general and a prime minister.

Xue Chongxun recalled the incident in Helong and thought about his premonition: Did Du Xian return to Beijing this time, has he already had any effect on Tubo?

If Du Xian really does a good job, Xue Chongxun is really willing to promote him.

Repaying one another is not the main reason...

The power field is not a world of martial arts. What kind of loyalty should be mentioned? As long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, it is nothing to be ungrateful. The main reason is that Du Xian has the intention to get closer. Such a talent who can fight and have a political mind can be the only one, Xue Chongxun has no reason not to win over.

Sure enough, I heard that Du Xian was coming again that morning, so Xue Chongxun asked someone to invite him to the prince's kingdom to speak.

After a while, Du Xian arrived at the entrance of the study. Although Xue Chongxun had no palace to greet him, he stood up from the chair and held his fists to meet him, which was very considerate.

I saw Du Xian wearing a cotton shirt in Xizhou, with a cloth scarf on his head, and dressed like a commoner, which surprised Xue Chongxun.

In summer, subjects from wealthy families do not like to wear hats, and it is also common to wear a headscarf on their hair buns. However, they have to wear hats in formal occasions, such as when facing each other, they have to wear neatly no matter how hot they are.

Du Xian's face is still fair and rich, with a gentleman's body and fat body, and his face is also very sleek and straight, not like a soldier, but Du Xian was originally the way to take the literary test.

Xue Chongxun thought to himself: He has been in Helong, the Western Regions for many years, and it is rare to have not been tanned.

I had just arrived in Chang'an the day before yesterday and had not had time to go to the court. When I heard that the King of Jin had returned, I came to visit him. I did not dare to put on the official robe and was afraid that my colleagues would see it. I was not well dressed and I would like to pay my respects to the King of Jin.

Du Xian said.

Xue Chongxun thought to himself: Didn’t you come the day before yesterday?

And said it was the way.

And when he came back, he never saw anyone, and he did not report his duties in the court. He first ran to the prince's kingdom in a cloth clothes, which is itself a sign of clinging to the powerful.

However, Du Xian is a well-educated and decent person after all. Even when expressing his attitude, he can be so calm and decent, and will not show any humble and obscene words and deeds.

Xue Chongxun believes that this can be called a technical job for literati.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: What do you and I still care about those minor points? Sit down and talk, come and watch the tea!

After a while, he asked again: This time Du Gong went to Beijing to report his work, must have made progress in Tubo?Your contribution will definitely be recognized by the court.

Du Xiandao: I dare not take credit, everything was decided after the Battle of King Wuhai of Jin.I almost had nothing to do, so I just ruined myself in Tubo.Last winter, Tubo lost a large number of cattle and sheep supplies and spent the winter, and the population was greatly reduced. In addition, the failure of the war stimulated internal conflicts that had been covered by expansion and plunder, and civil strife intensified.Lang Meise was appointed as the grand speech, and supported the young Chicong Zanpu to inherit the crossbow, accusing the Mo family of Dongzebu of killing his ex-girlfriend and trying to punish him. The Mo family was unwilling to accept it and refused to go to Luoshecheng.This turned into a civil war, snatching each other's property of cattle and sheep... But I also played some irrelevant and decisive roles from it, such as winning over Mo's family and giving him advice to improve the status of Buddhism, so as to gain support from those tribes who were persecuted by the Bon religion.

Xue Chongxun nodded immediately and said: Buddhism is a good thing for Tubo.

Du Xian said: However, the strength of Luisicheng was the strongest in Tubo after all. The Mo family was not supported and was related to Longyou of the Tang Dynasty, so he repeatedly asked to defect to the Tang Dynasty and move inward to avoid the pressure of Luisicheng.In the past, after Qinling in Tubo died, his tribe was given a crime of treason and massacred by Tubo Zanpu. The rest of them also moved to the Tang Dynasty and became a prison for ours.This time I went to Beijing to tell the matter to the court, and let the Political Affairs Hall decide where to go.

Moving inward again?Why should we occupy the land of our Tang Dynasty?Xue Chongxun blurted out without thinking, and a sentence almost showed his attitude.

At this time, Du Xian unconsciously remembered the Nanzhao incident. Because the Nanzhao battle was fought by the eunuch Yang Sixu, and Du Xian was more concerned about this eunuch, so he knew the whole story of the Nanzhao incident clearly.

Yang Sixu, an eunuch, is very good at fighting and has done a lot of victories. Du Xian thinks it is rare for a eunuch to have such ability, so he pays extra attention and understands a lot.

In Du Xian's opinion, the Battle of Nanzhao was a war that was unnecessary, but it was just a win if you were lucky. Is the southern country full of miasma so easy to fight (it should be a parasite in the ancient south, and the ancients thought it was miasma caused by disease).

The Nanzhao people did not declare rebellion, and they were always more pro-Tang, but they were ambitious to embezzle the neighbors. As a result, they recruited the Tang Dynasty army as soon as they captured such a small area of ​​Heman. Du Xian did not expect this result, and probably the Nanzhao people themselves did not expect it...

Du Xian analyzed Xue Chongxun's motive at that time, perhaps because he was unwilling to merge and become a big shot in the surrounding ethnic groups. Dividing and conquering them was his political strategy.

So today's Tubo, although allowing the Mo family to move inward can further weaken the remaining strength of Tubo, it will make the Tubo country barely unify again; allowing the Mo family to continue to split from Luoshecheng is more in line with Xue Chongxun's strategy of dividing and governing it!

Coupled with the words that Xue Chongxun blurted out just now, Du Xian's judgment was even more firm.

In fact, whether it is to let the young people who were pro-Tang Dynasty move inward or to differentiate and differentiate, each policy has some truth and evidence, but the methods are different.

Du Xian didn't think he had to choose which national policy he had to show. The only starting point of his political views: to comply with the superiors.

Otherwise, if you don’t plan for each other, then what other things can you do with others?

Thinking of this, Du Xian no longer hesitated and said with a very natural expression: In my opinion, there is indeed not much benefit to move inward, so I did not agree to him after the Mo family sent someone to ask for it several times.However, Tubo has been a confidant of the Tang Dynasty for decades and is related to national policies. I dare not refuse without authorization, so I had to go to Beijing to explain the facts in detail and let the Dukes in the court decide the final decision.I think it is best to leave the Mo family to restrain some cities, and then divide and conquer them with strategies...

It’s better to divide and treat it!Sure enough, Xue Chongxun was very helpful and praised that Du Gong is indeed a talented master with vision, and our views really coincide.

Du Xian felt happy and said with a fist as if he was not surprised by honor and disgrace: King Jin has been too honored and dare not take it.

Xue Chongxun said: The country is in the autumn of employment. If there are more visionary people like Zhang Xianggong and Du, the world will be ruled!When you go to the court to discuss matters, you just need to let go of your hands and explain your opinions without filtering.In the past, Xianggong Zhang foresaw the imperative of military reform. I agree, so he insisted on the big plan against the public. Today, he has achieved results... The truth is in the hands of a few people, so don't be influenced by others.

What the King of Jin said was extremely true.

At this time, Xue Chongxun had a little more thought of letting Du Xian enter the court to take real power. He originally planned to make him a prime minister like Li Shouyi, who distinguished right from wrong but did not have the real power alone. Now he doesn't want to make a decision on the placement of Du Xian for the time being...

The reason is that there was already a general and prime minister in the court, and Cheng Qianli also happened to come from the Helong Army of the Western Regions. Both ministers achieved fame and fortune in the west. What do the generals from other borders think?
