Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 182 Talking about the General Trend of the World

Sun Yue couldn't help but asked curiously: "Don't you think what I said is nonsense?"

Murong Yan nodded: "It's a bit of nonsense."

"........."

"But your nonsense is very interesting. In matters between countries, strength is always king. If the party members can really get rid of the constraints of the Central Plains Dynasty and have undefeated strength, there is really no reason to continue bowing to us. Take orders, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Khitan was still the most loyal supporter of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be any friendship that will not change for a hundred years, I think what you said is indeed possible."

Sun Yue glanced at her in surprise. In fact, he had already peddled this set of rhetoric many times. Like Han Chongxun, [-]% of people scoffed at it, thinking it was nonsense, and the remaining [-]% were noncommittal, thinking that even When the party is strong, it can still coexist peacefully with the Central Plains dynasty.

Among the people who really agree with this statement, this Murong Yan is still the first one.

Unconsciously, Sun Yue shifted her gaze down again, thinking, how beautiful those long legs would be if they were put on silk stockings.

"Although I'm your fiancée, and I don't plan to mess around with my father's last wish in this matter, but believe it or not, if you look at me with such lewd eyes again, I'll beat you up."

"Ahem, I'm sorry, because it's too long, I can't help it. Oh no, let's get down to business, I'll continue."

"Ah."

"Let's talk about Tubo first. I think that in the next hundred years, Tubo will hardly pose any threat to the Song Dynasty. This can be used as a help, and there is no need to be so tense with them. Their living conditions are too bad. We want their The land is useless, the population is useless, and there is no oil and water. I don’t think they still have the ability to spread the border on a large scale. Therefore, I think what Da Song has to do now is to let go of hatred and make friends. They have what we need most. There are almost no horses in the world that can compare with Qinghai Cong of Tubo.”

"As far as I know, just this year, Tubo organized an invasion with a scale of tens of thousands. Not only did the imperial court fail to organize an effective counterattack, but they even tried to calm down. Are you telling me that they have nothing to worry about?"

"To this day, the Tubo nation can still be said to be invincible in individual combat capabilities, and its way of survival has not changed much from that of the Tang Dynasty. Its productivity is low, and there are no surplus materials for trading. Therefore, in terms of viciousness, it is far superior to the Khitan. But the problem is that they cannot be unified. Rather than being a whole nation, they are more like a bunch of tribes united and living together. What happened this year is that Qinzhou cut down trees excessively, which affected their survival and led to the invasion of invaders. In fact, the number of people is not 1, it is just a union of several small tribes, so although they are a fist when integrated, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty may not be their opponent, but if they are scattered, they are just fat."

"How do you know that within a hundred years there won't be another hero like Songtsan Gampo to rule Tibet?"

Sun Yue said affirmatively: "Songtsan Gampo will not exist again, not to mention a hundred years, even within a thousand years, because the Tibetans no longer believe in people but believe in God. In the grassland A nation, the reason why a leader can become a leader, in the final analysis, is his personal prestige. The leaders of a tribe believe that following him can win battles, drink, eat meat and rob women, but when they bring out one or several unnecessary gods When he is above people, such a leader will never appear. No matter how big a person is, he will never be as big as a Buddha, but who can represent the Buddha? There are a hundred Buddhas, and there are a hundred kinds of teachings. Saying that they are Buddhas walking in the world, hehe, it would be good if they didn't fight themselves."

"The power of religion is so tyrannical? This...is really unbelievable."

Sun Yue didn't argue, just said: "It's normal if you don't believe it. After all, we Han people have been used to respecting our ancestors and not ghosts and gods for thousands of years. You see so many people go to the temple to offer incense every day, but among these people who really believe In fact, there are not many of them, and no one will become a monk unless they can no longer live or there are some great changes. This shows that at least home is far more important than God in the hearts of Han people. , you ask him, who does he listen to his father and Buddha? But nomads are not like this, especially Tubo, where life is really hard, and there are probably very few people who can really be born and grow up to die in peace. One, they need spiritual sustenance."

"Even if what you said is correct, how can you be sure that they will not have a figure like the Sixth Patriarch Huineng who can unify Buddhism? According to you, once such a figure appears, he will be worse than Songtsan Gampo." Ten times more terrifying."

"Yes, judging from the situation in Tubo, if they can really have a sixth patriarch Huineng, let alone the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the whole world will not be able to stop them. It is just a piece of cake to defeat the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, but this is not the same. Possibly, you don’t understand the difference between their Tantric Buddhism and our Buddhism. Half of their Buddhism is Han Buddhism introduced from the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty, and half is Southern Buddhism from Nepal. A little twisted.

There are only eight sects of Buddhism in our area. There are only two major categories of Buddhism, the Hinayana and the Dacheng, and all of them worship the Buddhas of the third generation. He is more respectful, that's all, but what about Tubo?To be honest, I don’t know how many kinds they are divided into. There are even more than a hundred sects when subdivided. What’s more nonsense is that their Buddha actually has the theory of real body and transformed body. You say you are Tathagata body, I said that I am the avatar of Medicine Buddha, who will unify whom?So they are no longer the invincible Tubo dynasty 200 years ago, they are just a group of lambs carrying Buddha statues and waiting to die in peace. In contrast, Dangxiang has already achieved great success. "

This pile of information is a bit too much, and it is obvious that Murong Yan was a little confused, and she didn't know how much she understood for a while, but she also felt that what Sun Yue said was indeed very reasonable. Without the possibility of unification, it would be really unwise for Da Song to hold on to the previous hatred.

After all, Da Song had too many enemies.

"You said that Dangxiang has a great success, how can you see it?"

"Dangxiang has eight surnames. How long has it been since you heard the voices of the other seven surnames? No, it should be said, do you still know who the remaining seven surnames are?"

"This……"

"Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the other seven surnames of Dangxiang have gradually become vassals of the Tuoba clan. What the Tuoba clan said is basically equivalent to the meaning of the entire Dangxiang. Do you think Li Yixing looks like Tang to Dangxiang now? Does the Tuoba clan of Yi Li Jin of the Khitan people in the middle period look like the Yao Nian clan of the past?"

"You mean, sooner or later, Dangxiang will release a Yelu Abaoji?"

"Objectively speaking, Li Yixing's current conditions are better than those of Yelu Abaoji back then. Even if he is more submissive now, whether the descendants of the Li family want to build a country depends entirely on whether they want to, not Can it, so, a unified party, with the support of Song Dynasty, eat up all the fat in Tubo except on the plateau, guess, will he fight with Song Dynasty."
