Chapter 831: Convince the Heavenly Khan with Reason
"My son Zhao Ganshun, bow to His Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
On the Wansheng Tower, the Hexi Jiedushi, dressed in the robe of the prince of the Song Dynasty, the Grand Protector of Anxi, the Grand Marshal, the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the Grand Secretary, the Chief Secretary of the Xiping King Zhao Ganshun bowed to the Song Dynasty officials on the imperial throne, and called him the son minister, and called Zhao Ji the father emperor. He was really a good son minister who was loyal and filial! Zhao Ji was full of joy and laughed to the sky.
"Hahaha... OK! My good son, I have worshipped me and pay homage to your mother!"
After worshiping his father, he naturally had to worship his mother. Zhao Ganshun immediately bowed to his own mother, Concubine Xiao Liang.
"Stand flat, give it to sit!"
Although the cold wind on Wansheng Tower was strong, Zhao Ji was in high spirits and didn't feel cold at all, and he didn't want to go back to the palace, so he ordered someone to move Zhang Wuzi to Zhao Ganshun.
Zhao Ganshun felt so hatred. He was humiliated in public and had to pretend to be a good son with a smile on his face. Moreover, Zhao Ji, who was a cheap father, was endless...
I felt hated in my heart, but I had to pretend to be in front of me. I got up and thanked me, and sat upright on the turtle. I didn’t dare to sit upright like in Xingqing and Liangzhou. I had to sit half my butt like a child who made a mistake, and I had to wait for Zhao Ji’s father to ask questions respectfully.
"Wu'er, are you a Dangxiang or a Han native now?"
"The Han people, the father is Han people, and of course the children are Han people."
How dare Zhao Ganshun say that he is Dangxiang? It is just unfilial! Zhao Ji is a Han Chinese, and Concubine Xiao Liang also claims to be a Han Chinese. Why are you a son Dangxiang? Is he not recognizing his parents? Why are you still keeping such an unfilial son?
"You are a Han person, so is Zhao Cha a Han person or a Dangxiang person?"
"Han people!" Zhao Ganshun said, "Cha Ge is the younger brother of Erchen and his minister. Erchen is a Han person, Your Majesty is also a Han person. Of course, Cha Ge is a Han person."
"The name of Brother Cha doesn't look like a Han Chinese," Zhao Ji asked Xiao Liang with a smile, "Concubine Liang, you are Brother Cha's legitimate mother. What kind of name do you think you should change to Brother Cha?"
Concubine Xiaoliang said: "Brother Cha is Ganshun's younger brother, so it is better to take Shun as the word Tong and use the word loyal to thank Your Majesty for your great kindness."
"Zhao Zhongshun?" Zhao Ji nodded, "Okay, just call him Zhao Zhongshun!"
Zhao Ganshun quickly thanked his younger brother for his name.
Zhao Ji paused and said, "Although you and Brother Cha are both Han people, there are still many foreign barbarians in the jurisdiction of the Hexi Jiedushi, right?"
“There are some…”
"Are they all good barbarians who can be educated?" Zhao Ji asked again.
"Yes, what the father said is extremely true, and they are all barbarians who can be educated."
Zhao Ganshun dared to say "no"? What does it mean to be afraid of power but not be virtuous? That's him! If he dares to contradict Zhao Ji's father, it would not be the large-scale education regiment to educate, but the commander Gao Xuan led his troops to eliminate it!
"Well, I think so too!" Zhao Ji nodded, "So I asked the Yuntai Academy Doctoral Order, Daxiangguo Temple and Jingling Palace to join hands to form a large education group, which is specifically responsible for the education of the people in Hexi and Anxi. What do I think?"
"My son is for Hexi, and the people of Anxi thank their father for their kindness."
Zhao Ganshun is a filial son, so naturally what his father said is what he said.
"Stop thanking you," Zhao Ji smiled and said to Wu Hao Gu Dao, "Wu Qing, tell me about the preparations for the Great Educational Corps to King Xiping."
"I received the order." Wu Haogu turned around and said to Zhao Ganshun, "The great education group prepared by the Xiaguan is a unity of the three religions, and will gather the principles of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism at the same time. Therefore, there are both Confucian scholars, monks and Taoists in the great education group. Because it brings together the principles and masters inside and outside the world, the great education group is not the yamen of the court, but is equivalent to the royal palace temple. The wealth required to establish the great education group is collected from the palace temple and the Confucian academies..."
The positioning of the large education group is of course semi-official, otherwise how can it absorb the investment of temples, Taoist temples, and wealthy merchants? Of course, it is impossible for the court to allocate funds, which is a huge sum of millions of dollars. With Zhao Ji, the "Fengheng Yu Da", the court's finances are tight every year. If there is a large-scale war and disaster, it will definitely be a deficit. How could it be that 5 million can be allocated at once? Moreover, the court can't recover the investment even if it allocates 5 million yuan! Opening temples, opening Taoist temples, raising usury, and maritime trade in the West, and Southeast Asia are not something that the court can do. If the court wants to pay, it is clearly a waste of money.
Of course, there are no businessmen and businessmen in the "shareholders" list of the Great Educational Group, such as Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an, and Ji Yi. Their investments are provided by the Yuntai Palace Doctoral Order and Gezhi University Academy. So on the surface, their money is invested in the Great Educational Order as a Confucian investment.
What ensures their investment safety is the appointment system of the Great Teaching Instructions. That is, the Yuntai Academy, Gezhi University, Biyong Academy, Daxiangguo Temple, Shaolin Temple, Jingling Palace, and Wanshou Temple each elected a Great Teaching Instructions, forming a situation where the seven Great Teaching Instructions jointly took charge of the Great Teaching Instructions.
The seven major teachings have not been collected yet, but there are already five major teachings including Hou Zhongliang, Zhang Yuan, who represents the Biyong Academy, Zhang Yuan, who represents the Gezhi Da Academy, Zhishen, who represents the Daxiangguo Temple, Xuanji, who represents the Shaolin Temple, and Liu Wuji, who represents the Wanshou Officer, have been confirmed.
"I wonder how the Great Educational and Reform Group will educate the barbarians in the four towns of Anxi?" Zhao Ganshun had known about some of the things about the Great Educational and Reform Group before, and now he listened to Wu Haogu's introduction, and he already roughly understood that this was a group that was wearing the cloak of education to make profits. However, he still wanted to know the Great Educational and Reform Group's methods in "education".
"There are three methods to educate the barbarians in the Great Education Organization," Wu Haogu said seriously. "First of all, we lend money to the Hexi Army to attack the Hekhan Uighurs who occupied Anxi! We are going to borrow 2 million yuan first, with an annual interest of 20%, regardless of compound interest..."
This not only made Zhao Ganshun laugh and cry, but even the officials of the Song Dynasty present didn't know what to say.
Borrowing 2 million yuan, 20% of the annual interest rate sounds like a "Qingmiao Loan"! Joining the new party to lend money to farmers to earn interest, your old party to lend money to the Western thieves to kill and set fire? Haha, it's really dark!
Wu Haogu said again: "Secondly, the Great Education and Reform Corps will also form a guardian regiment and march into Anxi with the Hexi Army!"
"The Taoist protection group? I don't know how to protect the Tao?"
"Of course, you have to use swords, guns, bows and crossbows to protect the Tao!"
Zhao Ganshun's thoughts were sank. He wanted to send the army into Hexi! Thinking of this, he looked at Zhao Ji again. Dad Zhao smiled. He obviously supported him, who used swords, guns, bows and crossbows to protect the Tao. The Taoist protection regiment did not protect the Taoist on the land of the court, but was sent to the territory of the Hexi army... Although it was not an official army, this Taoist protection regiment was integrated with temples, palaces, and academies, and the effect might be better than sending officers and soldiers directly!
"That's great!" Zhao Ganshun immediately made a statement, he must be consistent with his father!
"Again," Wu Haogu continued, "The Great Educational Group is also responsible for the affairs of the various religions in the four towns of Anxi and Hexi... Although the Great Educational Group is the foundation of the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, it does not exclude the Tianfang Sect, Nestorians, Manichaeism, Brahmanism and other heretics. They will implement the law of harmony among the various religions in Hexi, Anxi."
These words have two meanings, one means that the religious affairs of Hexi and Anxi towns in the future must be handed over to the head of the Great Education and Cultivation Group!
The second meaning is that the Tianfang Sect, which is dominated by the four towns of Anxi, cannot be beaten to death with one stick! This is not in line with the religious harmony and freedom policy of the Song Dynasty... and Wu Haogu did not want to completely break with the Tianfang Sect world. The fight must be fought, but it is impossible not to fight. The four towns of Anxi are probably all the territory of China in later generations. In this situation, isn’t that a division? This is not in line with the fundamental interests of all Chinese people, including the people of Anxi!
But Wu Haogu did not want to force his opponent to the point of being desperate. In the future, as long as the Tianfang scholars on the land of the four towns of Anxi follow the principle of loving the Song Dynasty, loving the officials, respecting other religious beliefs, and not colluding with hostile forces abroad, they can completely maintain their own beliefs.
Of course, such a religious freedom policy also depends on the attitude of the Caliph and the Seljuk Turkic Sultan! If they are willing to cancel the inappropriate positions of the Pony Blossom Stone Khan and Chinese Emir who were granted to the Black Khan Uighur leaders, and apologize and compensate the injured Chinese people, while ensuring that the three religions of "Martial Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism" can freely spread their faith in the world of Tianfang Cult, then the Song Dynasty will continue to protect the freedom of belief of Tianfang Cultists...
Such a requirement may be a bit problematic in the 21st century, but it is not a big deal in the 12th century.
Now Christianity sets fire in people, and the Caliph is sponsoring the century-old translation movement! The Neo-Confucian school of the Tianfang religion (rationalism) is still competing with the Sufis (mysticism, of course there are no Shiites under the Abbasid Caliph, so the struggle in Baghdad took place between mysticism and rationalism).
Although the Neo-Confucian School was at a disadvantage, the Sufis could not have been as straightforward as the Mongols, and then burned all the books in the University of Philosophy to death. The Arabs had no force long ago. The Caliph themselves were puppets of the Seljuk Turks, not to mention the religious scholars below, so the struggle in Baghdad could only be opened.
As for the Seljuk Turks, they were actually quite civilized before entering Baghdad. The Nietzsia University, which merged the Palace of Wisdom (University of Philosophy), was run under the auspices of Seljuk's Sultan Mareksha and Prime Minister Mulek.
Zhao Ji, who is also a civilized official, smiled and looked at his good son, "My son, are you still satisfied with the arrangements for your father?"
"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied!"
