Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1416
"When people are not full, all their thoughts are on how to get full. But once they are full, they have more thoughts."

Changsun Wuji stroked his short beard and said, sitting in front of him was an official in scarlet robes, but it was Chu Suiliang, a famous calligrapher today, the son of Chu Liang, a scholar.

"Pingzhang's meaning, the lower officials don't quite understand?"

"You are now the Secretary of the Ministry, in charge of the Bureau of Books, and in charge of book publishing and distribution. Do you know that His Majesty recently said in the Xuanzheng Palace that he will fully speed up the Sinicization?"

Chu Suiliang nodded, "I heard that the sage said that after three years, all officials, soldiers, and even marquis knights must speak fluent official dialect, otherwise the consequences will be serious."

"That's right, what is the purpose of the sage to promote the popularization of official Chinese?"

"The text is the same, and the pronunciation is the same." Chu Suiliang said.

"More than that, the deep-seated reason is to speed up Sinicization and assimilate all the barbarians conquered in our Great Qin territory into Zhuxia. This is an unprecedented event, the ambition of a saint. Once everyone in my Great Qin territory believes in Haotian God, if you study Confucianism and speak the official language of the Han family, then there will be no distinction between Hua and Yi, and you will all be of the same family." Changsun Wuji smiled at this man who is extremely accomplished in calligraphy, but he is not as good at being an official. The not-so-smart official said.

"You are in charge of the Book Bureau of the Secretary's Ministry, and you have to follow the saint's footsteps, and even charge ahead."

"What does Pingzhang want to be a lower official? The lower official is in charge of the Book Bureau, and doesn't care about the promotion of official language."

Changsun Wuji slapped his legs angrily, "How did you put on the scarlet robe? You don't have any savvy. You really can't support the wall with mud. Why did I tell you just now to promote Mandarin Chinese? What is that for?"

"In order to speed up Sinicization in an all-round way, assimilate the barbarians, so that there is no distinction between Chinese and barbarians!"

"That's right, now that the purpose is known, it's easy to understand when we look at the means? The promotion of Chinese is only a means to this big goal. We can also have other means to speed up the achievement of this goal, such as ?”

"For example?" Chu Suiliang asked.

Changsun Wuji sighed, "I really don't know why the sage would use you so much, you are as stupid as a wooden man. You are in charge of the Secretary Provincial Publications Bureau, what is the Publications Bureau in charge of?"

"The review and compilation of book publishing, as well as the identification and investigation of prohibited books, etc."

"Yes, this is your responsibility. Now, in order to assimilate the Hu barbarians as soon as possible, then everyone must work together. Your writing bureau should also take the initiative to play a role. For example, for those records that are not from China Books about barbarians on the history of Han civilization must be investigated and destroyed."

"For another example, all kinds of gods and pagan religions that those barbarians believe in must also be banned, and all kinds of barbarian legends and stories must be banned."

Chu Suiliang was a little dazed.

"This is not so good. The barbarians also have histories and legends. They even have their own myths and legends. This is also their civilization. Even in some legends and stories of the barbarians, there is also the history of our Han family, which can be exchanged with each other. It proves that if we destroy and ban it like this, isn’t it destroying history and civilization?”

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly with a dark face.

"Do you know what civilization is? Do you know what history is? The struggle and conquest of China and the barbarians from all over the world is history. Civilization is conquest and integration after all. If we continue to keep their civilization and history, then these people Then we will never be able to integrate into us, then we will always have to confront each other, over and over, over and over again, and the war and bloodshed will continue, is this a good thing?"

"Without Qin Shihuang's unification of the six kingdoms, without Qin Shihuang's cars on the same track and books on the same text, our descendants of Yan and Huang would continue to split, and internal strife would continue. How could we come to Qin, Han, Wei and Jin? If we can't grow our ethnic group and expand our civilization, then Our history will also be difficult to preserve and pass on."

Conquering other nations, destroying their culture, destroying their history, and assimilating them is also the process of history, the rise and destruction, division and integration of civilizations one after another.

Daqin just wants to be an initiative and a winner.

"In the 16 years since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, we have conquered east and west, conquered south and north, and laid down a large territory. It is a large territory that Qin, Han, Wei and Jin have never had, but we have to stabilize it and rule it, so we not only have to military In order to conquer and occupy them in the world, we must destroy and integrate them in civilization, otherwise, they will never become part of us. You can write a bureau and do your best.”

"But if these books, legends, and stories are gone, then a lot of history will really be melted away forever."

Changsun Wuji sighed, "You are responsible for checking out these books, legends, etc., in short, first find out these things, and then your Book Bureau will organize manpower to collect and sort them out, and then copy a few copies, and store them in Guanwen Hall and other royal families. In the library of the imperial court, seal it up and keep it for future research. Then burn all the others and seal them up."

"You are not the only ones to do this. All the yamen and local governments of the imperial court will do their best to do this. For example, the yamen responsible for religious management such as monks and Taoism will be responsible for all unofficially recognized gods, shrines, temples, and Taoist temples. When everything is banned and demolished, all the evil temples and evil gods will be destroyed."

Localities will even change the place names and mountain names with these things, and remove all those carvings and murals.

This will be a full-scale act of burning books and trapping witches.

The purpose, Changsun Wuji, has already made it very clear, which is to completely remove the barriers to the integration of Hua and Barbarians.

"The supreme god in the world is only Haotian God. This is the Heavenly Emperor of my China since ancient times, and the emperors of my China are all the sons of the Heavenly Emperor, the Human Emperor. The rest of the gods must be bestowed by the Human Emperor. Those who are not canonized and recognized by the imperial style are all temples of evil gods and prostitution, and they must be banned."

"What about Buddha and Taoism?" Chu Suiliang asked. Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains in the Han Dynasty, and it has a history of nearly a thousand years. Taoism developed from Taoism, and there are many sects with great influence.

"Further rectification is necessary, its teachings and original purpose must be changed, and it must be integrated into our Han family's Chinese civilization."

"It's the same with Taoism."

Regardless of whether you are a Buddha or a Taoist, you must admit that the supreme god in the world is the Haotian God, and the Great Qin Emperor is the son of the Heavenly Emperor and the spokesperson of the world.

No matter what kind of gods and Buddhas, their status cannot surpass that of the emperor of heaven and the emperor of man.

Although Buddhism and Taoism can still exist, they have been greatly restricted. Only Confucianism is now respected by the imperial court.

No matter how stupid Chu Suiliang was, he knew now that with the full start of burning books and trapping witches, Confucianism and Confucianism must be fully implemented to the corners of the Great Qin Dynasty.
