Chapter 213 Tang People's Festival
Yang Fan's eyes slowly swept across everyone's body and said, "Actually there is no need to make oxygen. You should also find that many people have not been affected when they go to Tubo. That's because these people have lived in high altitude areas for a long time, so they can adapt quickly, especially in the Shuzhong area..."
"So, we can only select some people to go to these areas for training for a while before we can adapt, or recruit soldiers from Shuzhong, so that the problem of altitude sickness can be solved."
When His Majesty Li Er heard this, his eyes looked at Yang Fan with a gloomy look.
Although it has not been verified, I have actually believed Yang Fan’s statement in my heart, because Li Shimin knew that Yang Fan would not be aimless.
Li Shimin stared at Yang Fan for a while and asked, "Are you afraid of being chopped off by me just now?"
Yang Fan was silent for a little while, then looked determined and said seriously: "For the benefit of the Tang Dynasty, for the backbone of the Tang people, why not be afraid of death; I think that once you lose the integrity, it will be difficult to find it again, so please think twice before you act in the matter of marriage!"
The meaning is obvious: you can't just think about your reputation and ambitions, but destroy the integrity of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, Yang Fan and His Majesty Li Er have different positions. Yang Fan values the interests of this country more than the reputation of a person.
However, after all, this era is a feudal society, and the ruler is paramount. The emperor can determine the life and death of thousands of people with just one word.
It can be said that the emperor is the King of Hell in the world. Whoever he lets die will die. Of course, Yang Fan is also afraid.
But some words have to be said!
Yang Fan can ignore Li Shimin's majesty or even his bright future, but he cannot ignore this era.
In the final analysis, this era has a sense of belonging to the Han people, and there is also a word that makes the Han people proud of - Tang people.
Even thousands of years later, this word is the pride of the Han people. On the other side of the ocean, people can't help but give people a secret thumbs up.
Even if China sinks, even if the empire is annihilated, even if the powers are bullied at will, even if countless Han people sink under the machine guns and cannons of foreign races and survive.
But none of these could crush the will of the Han people.
Because the Han people have such a hint of pride in their hearts, it is the glory of prosperity buried deep in their bloodlines and bone marrow. It is this integrity that supports the backbone of the Han people.
This is the supreme treasure left by the Tang Dynasty for later Han people.
As a Han Chinese, Yang Fan certainly did not allow the integrity in the Tang people to lose for some reason.
It is not allowed to be stained at all.
There is a sense of historical mission in his heart, which is also the meaning of his time traveling to this era.
In addition to being able to make yourself live a better life, I hope to make this era more brilliant and greater.
It even makes this era a dream country that transcends original history and is admired and yearned for by everyone in later generations.
So some words and some things Yang Fan has to do, and dare not do, this is a sense of historical mission.
Yang Fan's words made His Majesty Li Er feel a little moved, and his anger was mostly relieved. Although his heart had begun to shake, he insisted on saying for the sake of face:
"If integrity is free in people's hearts, how can you lose it by saying that you can lose it? If it is so easy to throw it away, then what's the use of it?"
Yang Fan sighed in his heart and said, "This is what I am afraid of. If the precedent of His Majesty's marriage is opened, the descendants of future generations will definitely learn from this once they encounter difficulties. They may even shout to follow the ancestral system to cover up their actions. In fact, they are greedy for life and death and greedy for pleasure. They only know how to use women as shields, but do not work hard to govern and prevent soldiers from fighting and killing the enemy. Wouldn't the power of the heavenly dynasty be destroyed by the unfilial descendants? What integrity does it have at that time?"
As a time traveler, Yang Fan has a vision of penetrating history, and he deeply knows the historical consistency of imitation from the top and the bottom.
And the original history is indeed the case. After His Majesty Li Er married Princess Wencheng far away, he kicked off the policy of marriage marriage in the Tang Dynasty. There were dozens of princesses who married in the Tang Dynasty.
The marriage of the Tang Dynasty not only lost its face, but also sent a lot of advanced technology and culture, laying the groundwork for the consumption of national strength in the Central Plains infighting.
His Majesty Li Er was furious and the last line of defense collapsed. He couldn't reveal his anger: "If my unfilial descendants dared to seek pleasure, I wouldn't let them go even if I became a ghost..."
"Besides, is it really that bad to marry? This time, marriage is just a delaying strategy. A dignified princess is married and has a noble status. With a princess in it, calm the barbarians, the border can be at least 20 years of peace. I can take advantage of this period to prepare for the troops and destroy it in one fell swoop!"
Yang Fan couldn't help but remember some of the statements on the Internet in later generations, and involuntarily gritted his teeth and said: "The barbarians are uncivilized people, and they live in uncivilized places. They pay attention to the prey of the weak and live a life of blood licking from the blade. If their wolves are ambitions, they will only obey the strong. Only by truly hurting them can they be respected;"
"Marriage is a shame. For the worst strategy, we send women, money, and technology... but these people arm themselves with our technology. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. Why should Your Majesty be like a servant? If Your Majesty gives the barbarians the agricultural technology, what is the difference between raising tigers?"
His Majesty Li Er suddenly woke up: "Is the marriage really wrong?" His heart suddenly became silent, and even felt a little bitter, muttering to himself.
Agreeing to marry is not entirely for your own reputation, but it is actually helpless.
After all, he also thought about the Tang Dynasty for generations, the stability and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the complete family of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty.
Once war begins, wars and disasters, the Zhenguan prosperous era may be destroyed in the present moment?
Once the war begins, how many family wives will be separated?
His Majesty Li Er's reaction made Yang Fan finally understand it now.
The reason why Li Shimin wanted to stabilize Tubo through marriage was nothing more than that he wanted to send a signal to all countries through such an attitude.
Let them experience the kindness of the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo is a demonstration.
Through marriage relations after marriage, we can achieve the political purpose of stabilizing border defense.
Because in His Majesty Li Er's mind, Tubo and other countries are indifferent to the bitter and cold places.
It can be said that it exists like a useless rib, and it is a pity to eat it tastes tasteless.
The Tang Dynasty and Tubo were usually fighting harmony, and if they could be comforted, they would be comforted.
Therefore, what His Majesty Li Er is most concerned about is to make peace in the rear and make way for the eastern expedition to Goguryeo.
Only by conquering Goguryeo can he become famous beyond the emperors of all dynasties and even become the emperor of the ages.
Although His Majesty Li Er is one of the rare famous kings, he is burdened by his reputation.
I don’t know the reason for raising a tiger as a disaster, I can’t see through the pros and cons of marriage, and I even naively fantasize about the barbarians.
