Since he sat down to negotiate a peace agreement, there was no need for Tonggega to continue to close the door.
The door is always open, welcome...
Ahem.
Anyway, Taishi Ci was slowly walking in the palace, watching the decorations inside the Shanshan Palace.
It has to be said that the style of the Western Regions has been greatly influenced by Central Asia.
Why not Chinese style?
Why can't it be?
While looking at it, Taishici recalled the words and questions that Fei Qian said.
China arrived in the Western Regions two or three hundred years ago or even earlier, why did it not gain a foothold?
There were more than a dozen vassals in the Western Regions, how many people were in front and behind, how many officials, soldiers, and how many capable people and heroes, why did these foreign customs gain the upper hand?
Is it because Chinese people are not brave, strong, and smart enough?
Then it is obvious that the Han people were heading in the wrong direction before.
Now that Fei Qian is here, he gave Taishici some answers, but he did not give the answer completely, so it is more necessary for Taishici to continue to explore in the process of the Western Regions and move forward in the direction pointed out by Fei Qian.
The march to Shanshan, the capture of the royal city, and the whole process, Fei Qian's words and deeds were all the marks of Taishi Ci's advancement.
Behind Taishici, Tong Geroga in the hall was arguing fiercely with Lou Shan, blushing.
"What are those two guys talking about?" Taishi Ci asked an official from Yuanshan Kingdom who followed behind and had a butt sticking out, and now he is the translator under Taishi Ci's account.
"They..." It seemed that at the beginning, the translator was a little uncomfortable with King Shanshan not using respectful titles, but he quickly said, "The two guys were arguing about the Gilner Oasis... The Gilner Oasis, just by the Gilner River, would go to rest..."
"Hmph." Taishi Ci nodded and understood.
I used to be like a life-and-death enemy, but now I'm quarreling about who can make more money.
The translator called "Go", which is just a general transliteration. In fact, there is a tongue-rolling sound between the two words "Go", and the sound of the tongue shaking quickly made Taishici unable to learn it. So Taishici, like Fei Qian, removed the most difficult part in the middle and called the translator "Go".
Then he looked at Taishi Ci's face, and then quickly lowered his head. Since he devoted himself to the great cause of the Han cavalry General, some people have despised him, but some have also envied him. At this time, he deeply realized how important it was to learn more foreign languages. If it weren't for the Lite people who had followed the Lite people from Central Asia and China to learn foreign languages, now most of them would not be able to be the assistant of the Han people.
Shanshan Kingdom...
It's too small and too weak.
The weakness of Shanshan Kingdom was not caused by one person, so why should he bear the consequences of the weakness now? He was unwilling to. After seeing Shanshan Kingdom swaying in the wind and rain and collapsed in the roar, he was like seeing the wind and sand covering the sky, washing and swallowing all the precious energy of Shanshan Kingdom.
And realize that the division of Shanshan Kingdom before and after did not represent the arrival of order, but was the beginning of chaos and chaos in Shanshan Kingdom. Therefore, instead of being squeezed by the torrent so that it could not breathe, it would be better to just join the torrent and seek a place to settle down.
Therefore, we act very humble and even very "loyalty".
In the early years, he was also a passionate young man who wanted to revitalize Shanshan. However, although he had ambitions, he could not break through the transparent ceiling above his head and could not climb up. The half-slave and semi-feudal system of Shanshan made the theory of bloodline the most important basis for governing. The ability is not important, but the important thing is reincarnation.
Therefore, Buddhism will rise rapidly in Shanshan, and even in the entire Western Regions. Even the most dull and numb ordinary people in the Western Regions can clearly understand that reincarnation is a technical job, which is very important. A good father can be free for the rest of his life, while ordinary people will suffer forever. The people in the Western Regions are willing to believe in the Buddha, but in fact, they are forced to numb themselves in the hope of being promoted to the class. Believe that their current suffering is a good place to be reincarnated in the next life.
What if the people of the Western Regions can see hope for promotion?
It's like going to the present.
As the mud walls of the Shanshan Kingdom collapsed, the loyalty to Shanshan that supported these people seemed to collapse. They had dreams and expectations, but all of this turned into a bubble with the roar of artillery fire.
"Remember, what kind of oasis..." Taishici suddenly said to the guard beside him, "The one they two are fighting against...
"Gilner Oasis." Let's go and intervene immediately.
Taishici nodded, "We want it."
The guard looked at the two kings of Shanshan who were still arguing, "Go tell them now?"
『Haha,』 Taishi Ci shook his head,『Wait a moment...When they have determined who this oasis belongs to, then tell them...But now you can go over and urge them to speed up...When will you determine the terms of the agreement today and when will you eat...
The guard responded loudly, then turned around and walked over, slapped the table, interrupting the quarrel between the two kings of Shanshan, announcing Taishici's decision, and silenced the scene for a while.
Tong Geroga and Lou Shan both turned their attention to Taishici.
Taishici didn't say anything or smile, glanced at the two of them indifferently, and then continued to move forward with his hands behind his back, looking at the decorations and murals in the palace.
A moment later, Tong Geroga and Lou Shan quarreled again, and the sound was louder than before. I don’t know if it was really arguing or to cover up the timid appearance just now...
In the Shanshan Palace, there are also some carvings of Buddha statues, or murals and zenith paintings.
Among these carvings and portraits, the shape of the Buddha statue is basically biased towards...
How to say it?
Soft?
Taishi Ci glanced at him, then smacked his lips, feeling that this word could not be described accurately, and then he quickly thought of another word, "Erotic".
That's right, the Buddha statues in the Western Regions are enchanting.
In Taishici's eyes, these Buddha statues in the Western Regions did not stand, sat or sit, had their butts and feet raised, their heads tilted, their expressions were exaggerated, and their movements were strange. Taishici believed that since they were gods and Buddhas, they should be steady, solemn, and solemn. For example, there was no wonder that the Buddhas in front of them were all over the Shanshan Kingdom...
"Haha..." Taishi Ci shook his head.
"Master," the guard came over, then turned his head slightly and signaled, "They said they didn't have that much money... Especially the little prince Loushan, his money was basically taken away by Tong Geroga, and Tong Geroga wanted to redeem his life... The stalemate is now unstoppable...
Taishici nodded, turned around and asked, "How much did Shanshan earn in the year before?"
Let's go and be stunned for a moment.
"Can't you say it? Or don't know?" Taishi Ci asked.
Let's wave your hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's just that this income... is not a correct number... and most of the time, we can only estimate that the king never publishes income... sometimes it can't be collected... For example, some people really have no money, they can only use items to offset the number, and then they fluctuate greatly, but sometimes when the caravan passes by, they can charge a large amount of money... and these...
Let's go and smile and said, "We don't know... Most of us have heard that we have collected money, but only the king's confidants know the specific amount..."
This time it was Taishi Ci's turn to be stunned for a moment, "Did you Shanshan have no plans for your daily income and expenditure? Really no accounts are set up?"
"Maybe there are accounts on the king's side, but the officials... don't know..." Let's shake their heads.
"This is really..." Taishi Ci didn't know what to say for a while.
When I was in the small town of Shanshan before, I had no books in the small town. I thought it was too small and the system was backward. But I didn’t expect that not only the small town was like this, but even the entire kingdom of Shanshan had no accounts. Even the officials in it didn’t know the country’s income and expenditure, let alone budgets and plans.
"How much did the last old King Shanshan spend when he died?" Taishi Ci thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Just set it down according to the number of ten times the standard... By the way, I can tell them that if they can pay the other party's money together, then there is naturally no need for the other party to exist... Do you understand?"
The guard laughed, answered loudly, and turned around and left.
…(*≧∪≦)…
On the other hand, Bu Sen Ying Feiqian's call, when he arrived outside the city, he had already restored his stable aura and changed into a half-new robe with hidden ten thousand-character embroidery, which was low-key and luxurious.
Any religion is always indispensable.
You must know how to take it, and you must also take it well.
The Wanzi appeared very early, even earlier than the Buddha, and appeared in different parts of the world. Perhaps in the initial artistic development process, humans felt that this symbol was full of symmetrical and rotating beauty. However, because Buddhism made special comments and promotions of this symbol, people later believed that this symbol belonged to the Buddha...
This is very interesting.
Did the Buddha know that this pattern was not invented by himself? Why didn’t he say it clearly? Why did he pretend to be someone else to lie? How could he be said to be familiar with the three worlds and ten directions? If it was not what the Buddha said, but what his disciples said, then why did his disciples use these to prove the greatness of the Buddha?
It's like looking at a person, is it great because of the clothes and decorations on his appearance?
Isn’t the Buddha’s disciples insulting the Buddha when doing these things?
Fei Qian thought in a mess, and then watched Bu Sen's expression slowly change as the distance approached.
Bu Sen saw the Central Asian man.
"It's you..." Bu Sen's voice brought bitterness.
"Master..." The Central Asian man knelt down on the ground with a thud, respectfully kowtowed Bu Sen, and gave a great gift to prostrate himself, but his words were not so "respectful". "Master... Why are you not dead yet? Master, you should be dead..."
Bu Sen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stood there silently for a long time.
"Master, you are the messenger of Buddha..." The Central Asian man lowered his head, his head and face were stained with yellow sand on the ground, and it fell, "But you are with the devil now... You let us fight against the devil, now Master, Master... Why don't you die, why don't you die..."
The translator standing beside Fei Qian was translating with a gulp.
After hearing what the translator said, Xu Chu immediately stood up and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Fei Qian and shook his head.
Fei Qian wanted to see how Bu Sen responded.
Bu Sen looked at his disciple with a sad expression. Many words surged to his mouth, but it seemed to be stuck. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, and only a sigh was left, "You don't understand..."
"Yes. The disciples don't understand. The disciples are dull." The Central Asian man slowly raised his head, "Master, there are many people who are duller than the disciples... Master, do you know what they will say and what they think? They... can they understand?"
『…』Bu Sen took a long breath and proclaimed the Buddhist chant.
The matter was too complicated, and there was a Fei Qian staring at him like a show, which made it difficult for Bu Sen to explain to the Central Asians. Moreover, this matter was indeed difficult to explain clearly in a short period of time, just a few words.
"You should follow me..." Bu Sen said, "You will understand slowly by then..."
This is undoubtedly the most appropriate approach. If you can't explain it clearly, you won't say it for the time being.
But the problem is that it doesn’t take time for the time being, and some people don’t have time or patience.
The Central Asian man looked up at Bu Sen, silent, and then his expression gradually changed. He suddenly roared wildly, jumped up and rushed forward, swung his fist and hit Bu Sen's forehead...
The Central Asian man is not too burly, but he is not thin either. The key is that he is middle-aged and is strong. But Bu Sen is old, and his skin is light when he hits his fist without reservation. He may have caused concussion on the spot or his bones to break. After all, the bones of the elderly have begun to decline. Even if his head is smashed, he may fall and hit him.
However, the guard standing beside him was obviously ready. When he saw the Central Asian man rushing up, he raised his sword and gun and then kicked him to the ground, pressed him down one by one with the gun handle, and pressed him on the ground, like a dehydrated fish, which could not jump up no matter how he flapped.
"Monkey, are you going to kill him?" Fei Qian asked with a smile, as if asking Bu Sen how the weather was today.
Bu Sen shook his head.
Fei Qian nodded, "Okay, let Tong Groga kill him...or Prince Loushan? I believe they will be happy to do this..."
"No! No!" Bu Sen waved his hands repeatedly, "Let him go, let him go! Don't kill him, he...he, let him go... I Buddha is merciful..."
Fei Qian smiled and said, "Buddha is naturally compassionate... But people are not. People have never been compassionate... Especially people in the Western Regions, they are even less likely to be compassionate... Don't believe it? This land in the Western Regions is not suitable for planting Zhuanghu, which is more suitable for grazing... at least not suitable for planting large areas of Zhuanghu... What is grazing for? Naturally, it is to eat milk and meat, eat white and red food... People always have to live. Monk, you want them to be compassionate so that they will not kill... plants alone cannot feed these people in the Western Regions... Are you asking them to die of hunger? This is the mercy of the Buddha you want?"
"The Buddha cannot solve the problem of eating..." Fei Qian smiled, and then patted Bu Sen's yellow sand and dust stained on his shoulder. "And Han people can, Han people can help the people of the Western Regions solve this problem... At this point, Han people are great compassion... Master, the path you choose now is to truly reflect the will of the Buddha... This is compassion in the world, not compassion for one person... Maybe this is what the Buddha means, he sent his disciples here... Very good, isn't this very good?"
"Master, do you know why the Buddha is sitting on the lotus platform?" Fei Qian said softly, "Because the petals of the lotus are red..."
After saying that, Fei Qian signaled the soldiers around him to take the Central Asians.
Covenant requires sacrifice.
Even Bu Sen is a child of the Buddha and vows to abide by the Buddha's precepts, but the problem is that Buddha is Buddha and man is human.
During the covenant links of the ancient rituals of the Spring and Autumn Period, the left ear of the sacrifice was cut, the blood was carried, and then the blood was used to drink, or apply it to the lips. This sacrifice was meaningful...
Bu Sen was stunned, he understood Fei Qian's meaning.
『No, no no... General, I have promised you, you don't have to do this..." Bu Sen said in pain, "He is still young, and he has read a lot of scriptures and is proficient in the law... Can't kill him, really, can't kill him...
Fei Qian nodded and said, "I understand that he is your disciple, it is very important... But isn't the Buddha's story of cutting flesh and feeding tigers? Who doesn't matter? He is also the child of his parents, the father of his children... Everyone in the Western Regions is a father, and a child, who doesn't matter? So great monk, why do you think your disciple cannot die, but other people can die? Great monk, your hands have long been stained with blood... The Buddha said that all living beings are equal... The people in the Western Regions can die, and your disciples can die too... He will become your lotus platform, adding color to your achievement of the Arhat..."
Bu Sen looked at his hands, speechless.
Lu Yu came in a hurry and came to Fei Qian to pay homage. "Lord, the first draft of the peace agreement... Please read it..."
Fei Qian took the book and unfolded it.
As soon as the peace agreement begins, the names of their respective countries will rise.
