Chapter 738 (2/2)
The most important thing is that the short two sentences not only show their generosity and modesty, but also bury their vigilance to the Tang Dynasty in the hearts of envoys and ministers of various countries. Some envoys who had not been granted military generals in the Tang Dynasty and thought of whether they were unfavorable to their own country, began to murmur in their hearts. Once the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was They will not continue to invade these small and weak countries as they did in those years.
Therefore, when the people of the court, especially the officials of the Tang Dynasty, were not humble and silent in the face of the Sultan, but secretly continued to provoke the envoys of other countries to keep vigilance and stay away from the Tang Dynasty, they could not think of any good way to resolve the quarrel of this big eater in a short time.
”I understand the idea of a family heiress who is about to surpass the Caliphate of Dashi. No one is willing to condescend to others, right? You want to make yourself better than the heirs of Dashi in this Tang Dynasty meeting, so that the Dashi officials who accompany you to my Datang can still protect your interests fearlessly when you face my Tang Dynasty. It is better for them to let your Hashim family be more qualified to take charge of Dashi than their Umayyad family, right ?”Li Hong slowly stepped down from the high platform and walked to the direction where the Sultan stood. With a faint smile on his face, he continued in the silent Hanyuan Palace: ”but you should understand that Saleh is still the first successor of the Dashi caliph, and you are not the candidate for Dashi. At least, many of you are in the family of him, not to mention many of you. Therefore, if you want to use this year's war between the Tang Dynasty and Dashi, as well as the jubilant court meeting in Datang today, to gain influence for your family and to seek benefits for your family among envoys of other countries, then I can only say that your idea is naive. ”
”You know what the Caliph means? Do you know that we do not call our king his majesty, as you do in the east? ” The Sultan looked at the prince of Tang, who was taller than him, and asked slowly.
”Your Dynasty has ministers under the Caliph, who assist the Caliph in charge of the Umayyad Dynasty.
Among them, the departments in charge of Finance and taxation are the most important, but they are all Umayyad family members and close friends of the Caliph. In terms of local administration, the whole country is divided into nine provinces. Oh, now it should be changed to 55 provinces? ”
”The governor of the province called Emir, appointed by the Caliph, wields the military and political power of the whole province. They have great power in their hands, but most of them are still occupied by the Umayyad family, as well as your Hashim and Shia families. The religious head of your province is a governor or a magistrate. The chief justice is usually selected from religious scholars. In addition to handling cases, he is also responsible for managing religious funds and the property of widows and orphans. The next level of local officials are appointed by provincial governors. Therefore, your Umayyad family now occupies many governors. Therefore, your ambition begins to expand. You may even use local riots to shake the rule of the Umayyad family, right? ”
With Li Hong's words ringing in Hanyuan hall, the Sultan had a relaxed look just now, but now he has to become dignified.
Neither he nor Saleh thought that in the distant east, the country called Tang knew his own country like the palm of his hand, but he did not know much about their country. Even in Dashi, some people often called the Tang state as the mysterious eastern country.
”Don't look at the night moon. She didn't tell me that, but it doesn't mean I can't know. We in the East have a saying that I think is very good, that is, know yourself and know the enemy, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles. Therefore, if you go to the west to occupy other people's land, and to the East covet the land of our Tang Dynasty and other countries in the western regions, if I say that I have ambition in the Tang Dynasty, I am obviously dishonest in terms of the state ambition of our envoys, because in comparison, you are more wild-minded and you want to occupy our land. Since we built the fortresses in Anxi, we have explained our purpose to the envoys. We have no ambition to show hostility to them, and we will not want to invade their territory like you Li Hong's voice is a little deep, but in the hall of Hanyuan in Nuo Da, it is very convincing to listen to people.
At this time, they should say that they have the most profound experience of tuhuoluo, tuishi and Bulu. If the Umayyad want to continue to expand eastward, they must cross several countries between the Tang Dynasty and Dashi. In the past two years, these small countries have felt the threat of cannibalism to them.
Now Sudan's look is not only more dignified, but also a little angry and flustered. Facing the prince of the Tang Dynasty, who was more leisurely than he was, he felt that he had fallen behind in this real confrontation.
What's more, he didn't expect that the prince of the Tang Dynasty could understand them so thoroughly that even the local leaders appointed by their families knew that there were more than Umayyad families now.
This is obviously not a good news. It is extremely dangerous for us, Saleh and other countries in the western regions to expose their secrets and contradictions in front of others!
Saleh's face did not look good. Listening to Li Hong's words, he unconsciously stood up to the night moon. Facing the eyes of brother Saleh, he just shook his head in silence, saying that he had not mentioned this to him.
