The court disagrees? Of course I know the court will not agree.
But, who said it needs to be reported?
Xiao Rui spread his hands, and Zhao Deyan's jaw dropped, "You, you won't report it? But... when the Western Turks destroy Gaochang, the Tang Dynasty will definitely intervene to break up the fight. How will you explain to Mo Hedu then?"
Xiao Rui calmly sat down again, holding the tea cup and asked: "Old Zhao, do you think the Western Turks have ambitions?"
Zhao Deyan rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, as long as you are an enterprising king, no, as long as you are an emperor, you cannot be without ambition."
"You're right. I gave him two choices today just to test his ambition." Xiao Rui explained: "He didn't listen to the three reasons why I dealt with Gao Chang. The third one was not because of the marriage, and the third one was because of us. The Tang Dynasty is too far away from Gaochang and beyond reach, so even if Gaochang is destroyed, it may not be able to truly rule."
"If Mo Heduo chooses the first option, it means that he has no ambition to expand his territory. But I guess not, and it finally confirmed my guess. He did choose the second option. Haha, Gaochang is just the beginning. In the future, he will I am afraid that I will annex the thirty-six countries in the Western Region one by one."
Zhao Deyan listened quietly and said puzzledly: "You know everything and have calculated everything, so why do you still support him to grow bigger? We have finally eliminated the troubles in the northern grasslands. If you raise another Western Turk, the big Does Tang still have peace?"
Xiao Rui didn't answer, just drank tea quietly and looked at each other with a smile.
"Do you want to..."
Zhao Deyan fell into deep thought. He believed that Xiao Rui was not a reckless person, let alone someone who had no regard for the overall situation. On the contrary, he is definitely an old fox who makes plans before acting. He is always scheming against others...
I have been chatting with Mo He Duo for so long today, and he is a brother-in-law. Isn’t that guy going to be tricked to death?
Xiao Rui deliberately made the sound of drinking tea loud, but Zhao Deyan's mind was spinning rapidly.
"Is it okay, Lao Zhao? It took so long? I just thought of it in a flash."
Zhao Deyan glared: "Why are you so anxious? I won't compete with you, a monster!"
After saying that, he began to deduce on his own, "If the Tang Dynasty wants to restrict the development of the Western Turks, then it will not let him win the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, and will intervene to balance when he attacks Gaochang. Only By maintaining the status quo, the Western Region can maintain balance and the Tang Dynasty can make profits."
"But now you are letting the Western Turks destroy the country and seize the land. Gaochang is just the beginning. With Mohe Duo's ambition, it is impossible to contain him. Does that mean... you want to give him all the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions?"
"But why is this? Is there any benefit to Datang?"
At this time, Zhao Deyan suddenly remembered that the two of them had just discussed that if all the surrounding countries were really destroyed, it would not necessarily be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, and the two generations would be divided.
Now Xiao Rui takes the initiative to cultivate a powerful enemy...
"Are you doing it...to support the bandits and strengthen themselves? Only when Datang has an opponent can it become stronger? Well! It is indeed a good idea, but the emperor may not agree."
"Why?" Xiao Rui asked.
Zhao Deyan analyzed: "Don't forget, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was also an emperor! An emperor has ambitions, and he also has the ambition to dominate the world. Now you want to keep a strong enemy from being destroyed, haha..."
Xiao Rui put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "As expected of you, exactly. I also know this, so the ultimate goal is to eliminate the Western Turks."
What? ? ? Except Western Turks?
Why? Then why don't you get rid of him now, but wait until he becomes bigger? When the two powerful countries fight, even if they win, they will lose a huge amount of national power. What's the point of struggling for so long? Zhao Deyan said he didn't understand.
Xiao Rui did not explain directly, but gave an example, "Do you remember the Great Qin? The Great Qin that destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world?"
Zhao Deyan was speechless, "Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world. Who doesn't know?"
etc……
Zhao Deyan suddenly thought of something.
Is that the theory of passing the Qin Dynasty? Six Kingdoms Theory? Afang Palace Fu? No, no, it has nothing to do with poetry, how did the real Qin Dynasty fall? Is it really because of tyranny and tyranny? Has the world been suffering from Qin for a long time? Is this real history?
No, this is all history written in books, but don’t forget, who wrote the books? They were definitely not ordinary people, because in that era, anyone who could read was definitely not a commoner, he must be an aristocrat! And the nobles in the world are not only owned by Qin. When comparing the number of people, Qin only accounts for one-seventh. How many nobles are there in the six countries combined? So who wrote the history books?
It was written by Qin people when Qin was still alive. What happened after Qin was destroyed? Haha, it must have been written by the descendants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms. The First Emperor destroyed their country, and they had no hope of restoring it. They could only vent their anger in writing. Can they write good words?
Historical records say that the First Emperor was an unprecedented tyrant? is it possible? Nonsense, if the First Emperor was really useless, could he be able to unify the world?
History books also record that the First Emperor was dissolute and immoral, but later generations have verified that the First Emperor did not even have a few concubines after the founding of the country. Could he be debauched and immoral?
So do you believe in history books or axioms?
If the people really hate the Qin Dynasty and support the Six Kingdoms, then after destroying the Qin Dynasty, they should restore the rule of the Six Kingdoms respectively. But what is the reality? Everyone supports unity. No, it should be said that ordinary people actually don't care whether it is division or reunification. They follow whoever gives food to them. If anyone makes it difficult for everyone to survive, everyone will rise up and oppose it. No one seems to care whether Xiang Yu or Liu Bang takes the lead in the end.
Why did Qin die in the second generation? The real situation is probably that after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, it was soft-hearted and not as ruthless as Genghis Khan, leaving too many remnants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms. At the same time, it attracted the hatred of the six countries. When the First Emperor died, the glory of the Qin Dynasty was no longer there, and the survivors of the Six Kingdoms resurrected, inciting the ignorant people to rise up and destroy the Qin regime.
Thinking of this, Zhao Deyan seemed to understand.
"Do you really want to let the Western Turks imitate Qin and destroy the six kingdoms? Let him take over the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions first. After he unifies the Western Regions and attracts the hatred of the people in the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty will have the opportunity to take action... Hiss! Then when the Tang Dynasty goes to occupy the Western Region, tsk tsk! It has to be you, you are so poisonous!"
"Master Marquis, today I want to get to know you all over again. How did you do it, being a brother-in-law with Mo Hedu, and at the same time, all the bones and scum that were scheming by him were left behind?"
Xiao Rui laughed loudly and said: "So, you must be careful when making friends! Whoever makes friends with me, tsk tsk, must be prepared to be cheated."
"I think that's the truth!" Zhao Deyan nodded.
"Then you have to be careful. Aren't we also friends, Old Zhao? Be careful that one day you will be betrayed by me." Xiao Rui joked.
I……
Zhao Deyan looked indifferent, "Have I not been sold by you? We agreed to come to the Tang Dynasty to be the prince's tutor. Unexpectedly, after arriving, I stayed in your house and became a private school teacher."
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "This is the general plan. I will not report to the imperial court when the Western Turks destroy Gaochang, but I will communicate with your majesty. As long as you make it clear to your majesty, it doesn't matter if there are objections in the court, and your majesty will pass the blame."
"Then you promised to send a general with 20,000 troops to support you? You can't hide this, right?"
"Haha, the soldiers and horses at Yumen Pass are enough! General, haha, send a ruthless person over and let Mo Heduo attract hatred."
…
Zhao Deyan: ...I sympathize with Mo Hedu for a while.
When people come, they give you gifts and kowtow, and they even call your father uncle. A king from another country is so humble, so it would be better for you to trick him into death... It's so inhumane!
