It was almost 8:40 when Luo Ziling went to pick up Monica.
The treatment tonight was quite fast, mainly because there were only two people who needed acupuncture.
It was half past six after dinner. I stayed at Lisa's place for half an hour, and it took the others more than an hour to finish it.
Thinking of the ten o'clock deadline given by Yang Qingyin, Luo Ziling was depressed and had to ask Monika. He would have something to do later, so he would definitely be back at nine forty.
"Yang Qingyin's request?" Monica guessed it at once.
"Yes!" Luo Ziling admitted generously, "We are an engaged couple and we live together at night. What time did she ask me to go back? Of course I have to obey her orders?"
"Haha!" Monica sneered twice and said sarcastically: "Young man, you are full of energy!"
"If you were not energetic when you were young, why do you want to wait until you are old to be energetic?" Luo Ziling didn't care at all.
"Aren't you a doctor? You know how to take care of yourself better than others." Monicala said in a sinister tone: "Don't you know that if you don't exercise restraint in some aspects, you will..."
Luo Ziling gave Monica a slap in the face and said angrily: "You are a dignified princess, how come you have such dirty thoughts?"
"Don't hit me on the head!" Monica was angry, "You've gone too far!"
Luo Ziling ignored Monica La's anger, reached out and hit her on the head again, and then strode away: "If you want a late-night snack, hurry up and follow me!"
Monica was furious, but Luo Ziling took advantage of her and left carelessly. She had no choice but to follow her angrily. When she ran to Luo Ziling, she kicked her
Luo Ziling.
But Luo Ziling noticed it in time and quickly dodged it.
"What do you want to tell me?" Luo Ziling was afraid that Monica would make trouble with him outside the hotel, so he quickly changed the subject, "What other important things have you thought of?"
"Have you forgotten what we discussed before coming to Yanjing?" Monikala became even more angry.
"I haven't forgotten it!" Luo Ziling looked at Monica La with a strange look on his face: "Isn't it just to accompany you to participate in some public activities?"
"I thought you had forgotten!" Monica said with an annoyed look on her face, "We have been in Yanjing for several days, but you have never accompanied me to any public event."
"How about climbing the Great Wall with you tomorrow, or visiting the Forbidden City? Or the Old Summer Palace that was burned down by your Eight-Nation Allied Forces."
"What are we, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces?" Monikala became angry again, "That was done by Europeans more than a hundred years ago, and it was due to the achievements of you Chinese people. I have read some historical materials, and it was the European Allied Forces who took them to the Old Summer Palace.
They seem to be Chinese. One of the leading party is quite famous. They seem to be the descendants of Gong Zizhen, the great poet who wrote, "Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers." There were also many Chinese people who participated in the robbery and burning.
.Also, if you are defeated and the war is defeated, it is impossible not to pay the price!"
"That was your war of aggression," Luo Ziling said a little depressed: "You fought the war in front of our house!"
He knew this. Gong Zizhen's son Gong Cheng, nicknamed Gong Banlun, served as a shameful leader when the Eight-Power Allied Forces attacked Yanjing.
The destruction of the Old Summer Palace had something to do with Gong Banlun.
"Isn't the relationship between countries the law of the jungle?" Monica sneered, "I have been reading materials related to Chinese history for the past two nights. What a coincidence, I happened to read what you think is the most important
The history of the Tang Dynasty, a prosperous dynasty. During the Zhenguan period, you Chinese people were expanding all over the world. In the third year of Zhenguan, the Tang army defeated the Turks in the Northern Expedition and captured all their khans in Chang'an. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, the Tang emperor used Tuyuhun
He often sent a large army to destroy the Tuyuhun Kingdom on the grounds of violating the border. In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the Emperor of Tang sent a large army to destroy Gaochang on the grounds that the Gaochang Kingdom blocked the tribute route from the countries in the Western Regions!"
When Luo Ziling heard Monika talk about the glorious military campaigns of the Tang Dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty, he couldn't express the pride in his heart.
When she heard her talking about the Tang army's campaign against Gaochang, she couldn't help but interject: "When our Tang army appeared at the gate of Gaochang City, the king of Gaochang, Ju Wentai, was actually scared to death. Haha, this is unprecedented and unprecedented.
Right?"
Monica looked at Luo Ziling angrily, blaming this arrogant man for interrupting her.
She took a deep breath and then said: "In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the Tang army destroyed Xue Yantuo again. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army successively destroyed Baiji, Goryeo, Western Turks, Congling and a bunch of small countries in the Western Regions. In the traditional borders
Five major military governors were established outside the line: Andong, Anxi, Annan, Anbei, and Beiting. The Andong Protectorate was in Pyongyang, the Annan Protectorate was in what is now Hanoi, and the Anbei Protectorate was in what is now Mongolia.
, the Anxi Protectorate once chose Suiye City as its seat of government. Now in Kyrgyzstan, most of the Anbei Protectorate’s jurisdiction is in Russia. I just want to know if the Chinese at that time were invading and occupying other people’s territory. Did you also condemn it?
The rulers at that time? Still thought that because the Tang army was super powerful, everything was normal!"
Luo Ziling laughed and said: "The Tang army destroyed the Eastern and Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Xueyantuo, Goryeo, Baiji, Congling and other countries. That was because they invaded the Tang Dynasty from time to time and killed the people of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty
Only the Tang army would attack them. This was a self-defense counterattack, just like how it taught the Yue country a lesson. As for your Eight-Nation Allied Forces, the Qing Dynasty at that time did not provoke you, but you took action against us!"
"The Tibetans at that time were intruding on you from time to time. Why didn't you destroy them?" Monikala looked at Luo Ziling with a strange look on her face. "It was not because I was incapable of destroying the Tubos that it became a big problem. In the end, even the capital Chang'an was destroyed.
It was once captured by them. I said that relations between countries must abide by the law of the jungle in special times."
"I didn't expect that Princess Monikala knows so much about the history of our Tang Dynasty. I admire her very much. I think I should take you to the ancient capital Chang'an to let you experience the splendor of the Tang Dynasty relics that have been preserved. Although
There are not many relics of the Tang Dynasty, but there are still many places that can show the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty."
"You promised yourself, and you must do it. Before I return to China, you must take me to Chang'an to play. Otherwise, you are lying to others, and you are lying to others like a puppy!"
"..."
Seeing Luo Ziling's dumbfounded face, Monica suddenly felt very proud, "Make your own plans and accompany me to Chang'an. Don't regret it!"
"Okay!" Luo Ziling felt that he had dug a hole for himself, and in the end he had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump in.
"I also want to hear what you will say when you stand in the Old Summer Palace, and whether you want to denounce me, a descendant of the European Allied Forces." Monica smiled proudly.
Luo Ziling took a deep look at Monica La, and then said: "I somewhat agree with your statement that countries must abide by the law of the jungle when dealing with each other. Yes, in the Qing Dynasty, because the rulers closed the country in isolation, the country's strength was low, and it was difficult to fall behind.
If you are beaten, you can't blame others if you don't live up to your expectations. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the reason why it was able to expand everywhere was because the country was powerful at that time. The Tang army was synonymous with being invincible in the world. In the seventy or eighty years before the defeat of the Tang army in Dafeichuan at the beginning of Zhenguan,
We have never been defeated in foreign campaigns. That is our pride, and the influence of Chinese culture reached its peak at that time. But please rest assured, that time will definitely come, not long after!"
Seeing the determination on Luo Ziling's face when he said this, Monica felt inexplicably a little scared.
