Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Tai was beaten up by Li Ke when he came back. Although Li Shimin wanted to speak, he hesitated for a while and still didn't speak. This kid really deserved a beating, and he came back to see him and his queen after going out for more than half a year.

But Li Tai's change, Li Shimin could tell, it was completely the same as the previous Li Tai, the temperament of his body, and the marching style of walking, were too strong, and could be seen at a glance.

Li Ke, this kid, has something, and he did a good job!

In the next few days, Li Ke was relatively busy. The meeting with Lu Dongzan was met with Li Ke, but the conversation was not finished. He just told Lu Dongzan to wait until after the eleventh. I prepared to give it first, mainly books on elementary school and other aspects. As for the others, Li Ke "doesn't want to give it".

For this reason, because of this incident, it also triggered an "academic" debate, or a big court debate, and the main battlefield of the debate was in the "Datang Weekly".

The professors represented by Kong Yingda engaged in a fierce "debate" over Datang's wanton granting of "books" to other countries.

In the "Datang Weekly", Kong Yingda and others wrote an article on Li Ke's theory about characters, which was about morpheme characters and phoneme characters, and first listed the advantages of phonograms and ideograms.

Then, why the Chinese civilization has been passed down for more than 3000 years, why the Chinese civilization has endured for a long time, and why many powerful ancient countries abroad continue to decline, but the reason why the Chinese civilization will not be cut off anyway is linked to the text.

"So, the Chinese characters inherited from ancient times, the current Datang characters are the only excellent ideographic and morphological characters in the whole world. Tang characters can carry more content and more theories. Inheriting the most important treasure. The current imperial court spreads the characters of the Tang Dynasty to the world, which may lead to the emergence of many powerful empires in other places. Once these empires, like the Tang Dynasty, can have a tradition of thousands of years, then my Tang Dynasty will have countless powerful ones in the future enemy."

"So Datang should prohibit the dissemination of Datang's writing and books casually."

There is no doubt about Kong Yingda's status in Datang, and he can also influence a large number of people, but these people don't know it, so they naturally followed up immediately and began to support Kong Yingda.

In fact, strictly speaking, people of later generations are very familiar with the so-called political correctness and so-called racial discrimination in foreign countries.

But in fact, looking at the history of human civilization, ahem... Chinese civilization has been the most discriminatory since ancient times, and it is engraved in the bones and cannot be changed.

It's just that Huaxia has been emphasizing the golden mean since ancient times, and rarely expressed it to the outside world, but many things have been hidden in my heart all the time, that sentence, no matter what, I actually look down on you.

In many cases, some people may not say anything, or even act as if you can’t see it on the outside, and even think that this person pays more attention to foreigners, but in fact, he has a completely different idea in his bones. I don't want you to think that I am impolite, and the influence that affects me is the starting point.

Of course, this refers to the fact that most people think this way, and some people don't even feel it.

These are all hidden in the culture.

And in this period of Tang Dynasty, this kind of contempt was often manifested nakedly. Even if I was polite when facing you, I did not hide my contempt for you.

It is precisely because of this that Kong Yingda's article aroused the sympathy and sensation of a large group of people once it was published by Datang Weekly.

And this article was carefully discussed between Li Ke and Kong Yingda and others. In fact, Li Ke only told them what he wanted to achieve, and the content and way of speaking were researched by Kong Yingda and others.

I have to say that this era may not have all kinds of so-called media studies and other summaries in later generations, but if you want to tell some big guys what you want to achieve, explain your purpose clearly to them, and the means of public opinion displayed by these people... really A terrible push.

The strongest thing is that this kind of article written by people like Kong Yingda is conclusive, archaeological and modern, and all the examples show that you have nothing to say, especially about the advantages of cultural inheritance. They actually have own understanding.

In particular, Chinese characters have unparalleled advantages in the archaeology of some damaged texts. This character is gone, the word is gone, and you can guess roughly the same when you connect the context.

But like Western phonograms, there are many words because they were invented independently. If this word is completely cut off, you will want to archeology in later generations... It is impossible for you to guess what it means, and the academic ancient Words are even more so.

This kind of controversy, the envoys of various small countries, including people like Lu Dongzan, naturally saw it. After seeing it, they were a little worried, or some people had ulterior motives. The Tang characters are so powerful, should they use the big one? Don's text?

Let's not talk about how many people have this kind of thinking, but it is a country that can affect a country.

Even if some countries do not change their characters, they will send more people to learn Chinese characters, which is beneficial.

In the midst of such disputes, the Persian and Arab missions finally arrived near Chang'an. They came from the river in the east, because they traveled by boat from the sea to Datang in just over a month. If you go by land, this time may take at least three months.

And the land is even more dangerous!

The envoy of the Persian mission is Del Valle, the minister who had traded with Pei Xingjian, and the head of the Arab mission is an important general of Arabia, Saild!It is conceivable that the two countries attach great importance to Datang's attitude this time.

Along the way, what they saw was enough to give them a full understanding of Datang, but when Chang'an City was close at hand, they still had an unprecedented expectation!I heard that this is a huge city with a population of more than one million people!

This is unimaginable in their eyes!Perhaps only Rome has such a population?

When they got off the boat and started to take the carriage to Chang'an step by step, the walls of Chang'an City were already faintly visible.

When the gray city wall on the horizon stretched for an unknown distance, Del Valle and Saild were completely shocked!The city wall, which is more than nine kilometers long, is extremely shocking when viewed from a distance!Just like the shock of the Great Wall!

And the small city that was first built in the west of Chang'an City also shocked them.

When they passed through the huge gate of Chang'an City and entered Chang'an City completely and set foot on Suzaku Heng Street, the road with a width of 150 meters made them feel a little unacceptable. Such a road... the point is so smooth!Almost a whole, where did Datang get such a large piece of slate? ?

What shocked them even more was... clean!Incredibly clean!There is no smell in the air, and there is no rubbish on both sides of the streets in the entire Chang'an City, and all the places are as clean as if they were spotless. Such a clean, beautiful, and magnificent city... It is hard for them to imagine, what is this? How did you do it?

Don't people in Chang'an city shit?

Or is it that the main street of Chang'an City is so clean because it is the face of Datang?

When they stayed in Honglu Temple and had the opportunity to visit Chang'an City by themselves, they finally solved their doubts. Chang'an City...is it really so clean? !In all places in the city, there is no garbage, no feces, no smell!

The dense population, people from all over the world, tourists in all kinds of clothes, and businessmen make this city unimaginably prosperous.

Both Del Valle and Saild were dumbfounded. It turns out that this is Datang!

And this kind of shock, until the day before they were invited to watch the ceremony!
