Civil strife in the Arab Empire is foreseeable. After all, there are too many internal factions and ideologies. Only by seizing the highest power can we obtain the greatest benefits. It is inevitable to fight to the death with swords and swords. This has been the case from ancient times to today, even a thousand years later. Never stops.
The scale of its civil strife was even greater than that of China.
Fang Jun didn't care if they fought life or death. The strength of the Arab Empire promoted the integration and exchange of cultures in a sense, but it was subjectively hostile to any culture and had no favorable impressions.
He was wondering whether this change in the caliphate would bring benefits to the Tang Dynasty.
But after thinking about it, I can't think of any place where they can make a profit. After all, they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they cannot affect each other. The only place where they can contact is commercial trade.
However, it is unrealistic to want large-scale trade. After all, the entire Tang Dynasty is preparing for the Eastern Expedition. Who dares to send more ships to the Middle East at this time?
All I can say is: "This matter is serious. I must go to the palace to report it to His Majesty, and then make a decision after deliberation in the political hall before I can give you a response."
Gadil hurriedly said: "This is what it should be, but I hope that if your country cannot help at the national level, please give us as much help as you can for the sake of our friendship. Of course, we Hash The Mu family will never treat its friends badly and will definitely give you adequate compensation."
This was easy to handle, so Fang Jun agreed.
As long as Liu Rengui's Annan fleet supports young Hussein to maintain the current situation, then a long-term trade route can be built, and wealth will flow in like a tide.
At that time, they held a banquet to entertain Gadir, and then found a secluded courtyard to place him.
When going to his residence, Gadil said: "This time I came from the East China Sea, and the accompanying fleet has arrived at the dock in the south of Chang'an City. The ship contains a gift from my young master to Miss Yu Mingxue. I wonder if you can please inform him. Come and receive it?”
Fang Jun was puzzled: "If I don't want to help, I really don't know where Miss Yu Ming is now."
After Yu Minglei followed him back from the south of the Yangtze River, he plunged into the Gewuyuan on the top of the academy. His whereabouts were always elusive and mysterious, and he remained in this state for a long time. Go back to look for him and ask him where that girl Yu Mingxue has gone.
"Ah, so that's it. Then it seems that I can't complete the task assigned by the little master."
Gadil was very disappointed.
Before leaving, the young master gave many instructions to give these gifts to Miss Yu Mingxue to express his longing for her. This was part of the treasures taken away from Medina at the beginning of the escape. It was priceless and very important for the exile. This shows the young master's admiration for Yu Mingxue.
It is estimated that if he had not fallen from the prince of the empire to a fugitive overnight, he would probably have brought a letter of proposal from his young master when he came to the Tang Dynasty...
Gadil sighed and said: "That's really a pity, but these gifts are what the young master asked me to bring to Miss Yu Mingxue. If I can't find her now, why don't I leave them in the noble man's mansion until the time comes?" When you find Ms. Yu Mingxue, please pass it on to her."
But he knew that Fang Jun was not only powerful, but also extremely wealthy, so he would definitely not squander these treasures.
Fang Jun was convinced: "Although I don't know the whereabouts of Yu Mingxue, I am angry that my grandfather and brother are both in Chang'an. If Yu Mingxue cannot be found, I will transfer the gift to her grandfather and brother."
Gadil said: "That's it, thank you very much."
Fang Jun said: "There is no need to be polite. Your Excellency has come all the way, so you must be tired and sleepy. Why don't you go take a bath and rest now. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to see Your Majesty and convey your master's request to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will make your decision."
After Gadil was settled, Fang Jun returned to the back house.
…
"Mr. Lang, are you saying that the internal fight for the throne in Dashi is now full of fights among the same roommates?"
Wu Meiniang put away the account books on the table, turned around and stood behind Fang Jun, gently squeezed his shoulders with a pair of Rouyi, and asked curiously.
Fang Jun was already used to the fact that people in the Tang Dynasty called the Arabian Empire Dashi. He nodded and said: "Yes, although it seems that the position of Caliph has been given to Ali, the Ottoman party members do not agree. Civil war will inevitably break out in the future. But Dashi It is too far away from the Tang Dynasty, and its domestic situation will not affect the Tang Dynasty, and even if it is chaotic, it will not gain much benefit."
The current world situation is not the "global village" of the future. One move affects the whole body. The backward transportation mode destined two countries that are too far apart to not interfere with each other and have little impact.
Wu Meiniang didn't see it that way: "How could it be no good? Previously, the cannibals invaded the Western Regions. Although they were repelled by Lang Jun, they were not injured. They must be evil and still thinking about the Western Regions. Once the time comes, maybe will send troops again. Now, in order to compete for the throne in the country, even if a war has not yet started, either party will preserve its strength at this time. Didn't the governor of Damascus show the bloody clothes of the previous caliph in public? That means that he will definitely challenge the current caliph. When a caliph declares war, he must at least maintain a coercive posture to the followers of the previous caliph, so as to absorb these forces for his use. Therefore, at least until the caliphate of the Great Shi Country is stable, he will not attack the Western Region again. "
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "You take it for granted. Although the Fanbang barbarians do not drink hair and blood, their way of thinking and behavior are very different from those of the Han people. We advocate morality, pay attention to everything, and cultivate our moral character." Morality is to be one's own, not to be confused by things, and they advocate not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you. But they are different. They believe in the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. Only the strong will be respected, and the death of the weak will not be spared. Therefore, it may seem to us that "when fighting foreign forces, we must first settle the domestic affairs" and that we must first occupy a righteous position. However, for Westerners who pursue interests, as long as their interests come first, they can do anything and are no different from animals. "
"Is this so?"
Even though she is smart and politically gifted, she has not had much contact with those people living in the far west who have very different ideas, so Wu Meiniang cannot understand this.
If you use gold to make friends, if the gold is used up, you will be forgotten; if you use benefits to make friends, if the benefits are used up, you will be scattered. If you use power to communicate, you will fall if power fails; if you use power to communicate, if you lose power, you will give up.
If we only pursue superficial interests, how can we survive in the long term?
Furthermore, the difference between humans and animals lies in the fact that "people are also kind to those who are kind." How can humans be like animals, preying on the weak and the strong?
Fang Jun frowned and said: "What's more, the whole country is now marching eastward. Only the Anxi Army is struggling to support the vast Western Region. Under a single tree, once the truth is discovered by the cannibals, they may be willing to take risks. I am afraid that the strength of the Anxi Army will not be able to resist a surprise attack. No, I will go to the palace to inform Your Majesty that we must take precautions against the situation in the Western Regions as soon as possible, and warn the Anxi Army that they must strengthen their vigilance and must not leave the internal emptiness. Show it in front of others, otherwise the situation will be dangerous."
With that said, he got up and walked out.
Wu Meiniang said angrily: "Why are you so impatient? Didn't you say you would enter the palace tomorrow morning? Why waste this afternoon?"
Fang Jun walked and said: "The military situation is like a fire. Since there are already hidden dangers, it is natural to deal with them as soon as possible. If you delay for a moment, there will be more dangers. How can you be slack and negligent?"
After saying this, the person had already walked out.
Wu Meiniang had no choice but to chase him out with a big cloak and put it on Fang Jun.
The sky was gloomy and it was snowing again.
…
Fang Jun came to the front yard and ordered someone to hitch the carriage. Surrounded by a group of soldiers, he left the house and went straight to the palace.
When I arrived outside Chengtian Gate, I got off the car and let the guard guarding the gate come in. After a while, a chamberlain followed him out, saying that he was summoned by His Majesty.
Fang Jun entered the palace gate and was about to walk in the direction of the Dragon Palace, but the chamberlain quickly stopped him: "Please wait, Duke Yue, your Majesty is summoning you at the Shujing Palace at the moment."
Fang Jun was stunned: "Shujing Palace?"
The emperor had been guarding him against approaching Princess Changle like a thief, so why did he summon him to Shujing Palace for no reason?
She was suspicious in her heart, wondering if Princess Changle had already advised her according to her instructions. She followed the servants around half of the Tai Chi Palace and arrived at the Shujing Palace.
"Please also ask the Duke of Yue to come in later and let me know."
The chamberlain told Fang Jun to wait at the door and go inside to report.
Fang Jun stood at the door and looked up at the gloomy sky with scattered snow. The chamberlain had already turned around and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Yue, is affectionate."
Fang Jun walked up the steps, crossed the threshold, took off his cloak and handed it to the maid at the door. Then he straightened his clothes, took off his shoes, and entered the store on the smooth floor.
