Chapter 692 Talas' Message!

Chapter six hundred and ninety-two

"Yuan Shurong, don't talk nonsense! How could the emperor of Dashi say such a thing? Can you take the rumors in the market as true? If it spreads, do you know how much disaster it will cause?"

Eagle suddenly snapped.

Yuan Shurong's expression was suffocated, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he immediately shut up.

"Enough! Eagle, he's telling the truth!"

Wang Chong stretched out his hand to stop the eagle.

All the different people, all the countries around the Tang Dynasty, all the monarchs, no matter how disrespectful and hated they are for the Tang Dynasty in their hearts, it is impossible for them to dare to say such things in front of the court officials. talk.

Because it would be a source of disaster.

Moreover, such words will indeed trigger a fierce war between the two countries, which is not a trivial matter. But Wang Chong knew that the emperor of Dashi might have really said this.

Unlike the countries around Datang, Dashi is extremely far away from Central Earth, separated by thousands of miles, and many countries. Moreover, the Dashi is extremely aggressive. From the very beginning of its birth, it has been expanding, killing, and conquering in all directions.

Dashi can have such a huge land area in this generation, it is by no means that they are so huge at the beginning, but the result of continuous expansion and annexation. From this point of view, Wang Chong is not at all surprised that the Great Food Emperor would say such words of coveting China.

In fact, the big cannibals are already stretching out their minions to Datang.

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Yuan Shurong raised his head and gave him a grateful glance. For some reason, this young "juvenile prince" gave him a completely different feeling from his powerful prince.

"Master Yuan, continue."

Wang Chong raised his hand and continued:

"The imperial court really needs some people who know about Dashi, but there are very few people who have actually been to Dashi, and naturally they can't ask anything. So from this aspect, we really need some pertinent opinions from the Master, because This is very important to us and to the court."

At the end, Wang Chong looked solemn. Wang Chong is considered to have some understanding of Dashi in this world, but Wang Chong still has not been to Dashi. No matter in this life or in the past, Wang Chong's understanding of Tang Dynasty is all on paper and in the oral accounts of others.

Such first-hand information has never existed.

"This... Now that Master Hou let the villain say it, the villain will be daring. When the villain was young and traveled around Dashi, he felt that sooner or later Dashi would be my enemy in the Tang Dynasty. With their personalities, sooner or later they will They coveted those who came to Middle-earth. Moreover, the big cannibals are tall and strong. They drank mare's milk and goat's milk and ate dates since they were young. In addition to the hot climate, in terms of physical fitness alone, they are probably much stronger than our Middle-earth Han people. , are born warriors. Coupled with their habits, they value bravery more than fighting, so... the villain feels that the cannibal warriors are probably stronger than our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"

Seeing Wang Chong's serious question, Yuan Shurong hesitated again and again, and finally said it out.

As soon as the sound fell, the room was silent.

The eagle doesn’t really believe it. The people of Tang Dynasty are famous for their bravery, otherwise it would be impossible to suppress the surrounding barbarians, let alone achieve the current prosperity, but Yuan Shurong has traveled to Dashi after all, so he can’t believe it. .

As for Wang Chong, his heart felt heavy.

Wang Chong has always known that big cannibals are difficult to deal with, but Yuan Shurong's words still surprised him. Yuan Shurong should have been to the Western Regions and met the Anxi Protectorate Army, but he still said such words, which can only show one point, those warriors of Dashi must be extremely powerful, and they gave him great help. Shock, that's how it is.

"Master Hou, with his cannibalism, he will be my enemy in Tang Dynasty sooner or later. Don't underestimate him!"

Yuan Shurong lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"Have you said this to anyone else?"

Wang Chong said solemnly.

"The villain once said these words when he returned from his travels, and he gave the imperial court a report. It's a pity that he was banned by Honglu Temple, and he was still in prison for seven years, eating seven years of prison food."

At the end, Yuan Shurong sighed deeply.

"Buzz!"

Both Wang Chong and Lao Ying were shocked.

"These bastards, do you still have the king's law!"

Eagle clenched his fists, furious. Yuan Shurong also encountered this kind of encounter, which neither of them expected.

"These guys did go too far."

Wang Chong's eyelids were also twitching. If Yuan Shurong hadn't said these words himself, even if he killed Wang Chong, he wouldn't know that this happened to him. The Honglu Temple was originally established by the imperial court to entertain envoys from various countries, and to show that the Tang Dynasty in China is a land of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette.

But now, the entire Honglu Temple has gradually forgotten its original responsibilities, and has become a place to curry favor with envoys from various countries and suppress its own people.

"Master Hou, you really have to do something. The people in Honglu Temple are really going too far. If things go on like this, Honglu Temple will become a place to serve Fan people."

Eagle turned to look at Wang Chong and said.

Wang Chong remained silent. The affairs of Honglu Temple were very complicated and could not be explained in one sentence. Because Honglu Temple is directly responsible to the Holy Emperor, but the Holy Emperor has no mind to take care of such trivial matters.

Moreover, the actual controller behind Honglu Temple is not the Holy Emperor, but King Qi. As long as King Qi is around, it will not be that simple to bring down Honglu Temple.

But you really can't indulge them like this.

"In Honglu Temple, there seems to be someone named Zheng Chenzhou, right? Find a way to replace him."

Wang Chong said calmly.

"Master Hou, did you mean that Prince Uzang last time..."

Eagle tentatively said.

"Um."

Wang Chong nodded with a sneer, with a domineering look on his face:

"It's time for Honglu Temple to teach them a lesson. Let's start with Zheng Chenzhou, who is flattering the Tibetans in Uzbekistan."

In the past, Wang Chong really had nothing to do with the officials of the Honglu Temple, but now, with the power and status of the royal family, coupled with the status of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, it is enough to affect the situation in the court. It's really easy to replace Zheng Chenzhou who suppresses his own people and pleases the Tibetans in Uzbekistan.

This can also be regarded as a warning to Honglu Temple.

In an understatement, Wang Chong had already decided the fate of an official of Honglu Temple. Even Yuan Shurong couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart. He had a new understanding of the power and status of the young man in front of him.

"Master Yuan, to tell you the truth, I plan to build a school dedicated to teaching the countries of the Western Regions, Dashi, Tiaozhi, Shendu, Uzang, and the languages ​​of various countries, so as to increase our Tang Dynasty's understanding of the surrounding foreign countries. I understand. I am going to provide a lot of financial long-term support for this academy, but the academy still lacks a gentleman. I wonder if the master is willing?"

Looking at Yuan Shurong in front of him, Wang Chong smiled and revealed his true purpose. The countries in the Western Regions have different languages. If you want to manage the Western Regions, you must have talents who understand the languages ​​of each Western Region country, including Dashi and Tiaozhi.

And cultivating yourself now is the best way.

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, Yuan Shurong suddenly raised his head, his face full of surprise.

"What do you mean, Master?"

Wang Chong said with a smile.

"You can't ask for it, you can't ask for it..."

Yuan Shurong was very excited. His lifelong goal is to build a school to teach the languages ​​of the countries in the Western Regions and the Fan people, so as to increase Tang's understanding of various foreign countries, so as to avoid misjudgments and endless disasters.

It's a pity that after decades in the capital, no one is willing to support him. Everyone either despises or ridicules him.

When Wei Guo and Wei Wu found him, he had already packed his bags.

However, Yuan Shurong didn't expect that such a big turning point would appear at the time when he was most frustrated and frustrated.

"Hahaha, master, I will leave this to you in the future. Eagle, you can arrange this matter. Build that school as soon as possible, and tell Mr. Hu and Mr. Ye to select talented children from various families , sent to the school to learn the languages ​​of the nations."

Wang Chong laughed loudly.

With the acquisition of Yuan Shu Rong Yuan Master, Wang Chong's plan to manage the Western Regions is really even more powerful. With the addition of Yuan Master, a key figure, the last loophole in his plan has been filled.

"Yes, my lord."

As the eagle said, he quickly led Yuan Shurong away.

Not long after Lao Ying and Yuan Shurong left, Wang Chong's last guest of the day appeared.

"Villain Yang Hongchang, pay homage to Lord Hou."

With a loud voice, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a merchant, a slightly fat body, ten agate rings on his ten fingers, and a red coral jade pendant on his waist, walked in with his head held high, and bowed to Wang Chong. salute.

"You're welcome, get up."

Wang Chong raised his hand slightly and said. Unlike Yuan Shurong, seeing this middle-aged merchant, Wang Chong went straight to the point:

"I heard that Mr. is very good at management, and he also has connections with Hu merchants in the Western Regions on the Silk Road. He also went deep into Dashi and sold ceramics and tea?"

"Your Majesty loves you, the clan has indeed done some small businesses, and has some contacts with some Hu merchants. However, Hu merchants are very xenophobic and don't want to do business with merchants other than their own, so our business has not been very big. , It’s just some small business.”

"As for Dashi and Tiaozhi... In the early years, the family didn't know that heaven and earth were powerful, so they lost a lot of money in Dashi and Tiaozhi. If they didn't make money, they just managed to gain some fame."

Yang Hongchang said.

"Um."

Wang Chong nodded. The Western Regions, Tiaozhi, and Dashi merchants were extremely xenophobic. The Yang Hongchang in front of him and the Yang family he was born in were considered to be one of the few families in the Tang Dynasty that could make a living on the Silk Road.

"There is a city of Talas on the Silk Road. I wonder if Mr. Yang knows about it?"

"Taras?"

Yang Hongchang finally raised his head, looked at the young man in front of him, with some surprise in his expression:

"The Anxi Protectorate's Mansion is more than seven hundred miles west of the city, and it is Talas. It is the territory of the Lishi Kingdom with nine surnames in Zhaowu. The lord of the city is Said. When the villain was doing business in the Western Regions, he was lucky enough to meet him once. "
