Raid

Chapter 355
Li Shengxi was not in a hurry to return to the capital, but during his stay in Wangzhong, Li Shengxi did one more thing—receive Xirong's envoys.

Xirong formally surrendered, and various matters still need to be finalized, so Linxi asked Li Shengxi to handle the matter, and Li Shengxi did not refuse.

However, Linxi sent some officials over.Among them were two servants of the Ministry of Rites and one Wang Zhong Fu Yin.

Wangjing, originally called "Wangzhong", was called "Wangjing" and "Wangdu" because it was the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty.Now, since it is not the capital of the country, it is naturally changed to the state capital.Some time ago, Li Shengxi had been thinking about the candidate for Fu Yin, but he didn't expect Linxi to send one now.

Faced with this almost peach-picking behavior, Li Shengxi only thought it was a little funny, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Li Shengxi treated these officials as usual.After the court officials visited Li Shengxi, Li Shengxi left only a few officials from the Ministry of Rites.Li Shengxi had already planned the peace talks with Xirong in advance.

Of course, the help of Mrs. Liang Guo is indispensable.When asking Jiang Muyi to translate the classics, Li Shengxi mentioned these things to her by the way.Jiang Muyi immediately proposed several methods.Li Shengxi felt that it was feasible, so he asked Jiang Muyi to integrate it. After Li Shengxi modified it, he directly showed it to the two servants of the Ministry of Rites.

Minister of Rites: "..."

All right, then they can help with the wording, anyway, Li Shengxi is already so perfect.

The policy formulated by Li Shengxi in the treaty is not really oppressive to Xirong. On the contrary, compared with the economic benefits brought to Xirong by the opening of the Jin Dynasty, this idea is nothing at all.

but……

The king of Xirong needs to be familiar with Jin classics, so what happens to the annual routine exams?

They are nomads, and now they are asked to read and write, and they still have to take exams!

The preferential treatment in trade was not because Li Shengxi wanted to treat Xi Rong preferentially, but because Jin wanted to recuperate in preparation for another battle, he naturally wanted to paralyze Xi Rong.

As for other requirements, she has already given them such a big discount financially, so - so what if you come to King Jin to take an exam every year?

Feel ashamed?Why didn't you feel ashamed when you surrendered?

Faced with the questioning from the Xirong envoy, Li Shengxi wiped his Chixiao sword in front of several people.

The Xirong people stopped talking immediately and decided to go back and think about it.Immediately after returning, he wrote a letter to King Xirong.

King Xirong wanted to refuse, but thinking about his own situation... okay.

But if you ask me to study, I can't teach myself without a teacher.So King Xirong asked Li Shengxi to send some teachers over.

Regarding this point, Li Shengxi readily agreed.

It's just that when this matter was mentioned in the Jin Dynasty Hall, everyone shut up and said nothing, and went to teach the barbarians to read, which is outrageous.

That's a barbarian, brutal and murderous, what if he dies?However, Li Shengxi assured that he would ask someone to lead [-] soldiers and escort them into Xirong, and he would never cause any trouble to them.

The civil servants were relieved.As for whether Xi Rong agrees, it doesn't matter. Anyway, there are many ways for the Jin army to go to Xi Rong, and he can't help but disagree.

However, although there were many great Confucian scholars in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was indeed a shortage of talents who were proficient in classics and Xirong dialect.

So at this time, Li Shengxi recommended Jiang Muyi and Zhou Lingwang again.

The courtiers have different opinions.It is said that Zhou Niangjiang's girls are all girls, and the king of Xirong asked for a teacher, but the great country sent a girl there, which is too embarrassing.Secondly, one of these two people was born in the Zhou family, and the other was a former queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Although they are both high-ranking, it is not certain whether they have real materials.

However, Li Shengxi did not argue for the two of them. Even if they have literary talents, there must be great Confucians who are superior to them in the country. It is meaningless to argue on this point.

Li Shengxi directly expressed his point of view, Jiang Muyi is very proficient in Xirong language, she was only used as a translator, not the main teacher.Li Shengxi handed over some books by Jiang Muyi and Zhou Lingwang to Linxi. After everyone read them, the discussion on this matter became much smaller.

Since it's not official history, it's just an accompanying person who helps, so it doesn't matter if she's a girl.After all, over the years, under the influence of Li Shengxi, the courtiers have not been so unacceptable to have women in the court.

Only cowardly dynasties would think about how to suppress girls to improve their status as male rulers.

Under the revival of Emperor Hongxing, Jin has gradually become stronger, but under Li Shengxi's conquest, they have driven out Xirong, conquered Northern Qi, and have no rivals on the territory for the time being. They still have this confidence.There are not many obstinate old men with "long-term vision" like King Li.

And even King Li did not object to this matter this time.One is because this matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and King Li is not confused when it comes to state affairs.The second is because this candidate is not easy to choose.It is not easy to find someone who is proficient in a foreign language, understands the culture of the country, and has the courage to go on a mission.

In short, these two people ended up with two spots.

As for the candidate for the "Teacher of the King of Xirong", Northern Qi finally chose Xiao Jingping, the former prince and Taifu, and now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

He was originally a great Confucianist in the dynasty. Although he held a high position, he was even more proficient in literature.Some time ago, the history of the country was just revised, and the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials belonged to him, but it was actually a false title long ago.Plus he can speak a little Xirong.No matter from which point of view, this is a suitable candidate.

After a few months of tossing, this matter is considered settled.

The reason why Li Shengxi chose Jiang Muyi and Zhou Lingwang was not only because they were proficient in Xirong language but also good at Central Plains culture.

More importantly, Li Shengxi took a fancy to Jiang Muyi and Zhou Lingwang's political talents on the spot. Whether it was killing Guanzhi or evading Emperor Yuanjia, they could show their resourcefulness and courage.

With them here, Li Shengxi also believes that they can play a major role when she raises troops again.

Before leaving the Great Wall, the two came to see Li Shengxi once.

They came up with new ideas.

Jiang Muyi said: "My concubine is good at Xirong language, and Lingwang is quite talented in literature. I want to build a bookstore outside the pass to compile Xirong books and spread our dynasty culture."

Li Sheng attacked all kinds of things, which also shook the hearts of Xirong people, but Li Sheng's behavior back then was different.

Although it may be difficult to carry out this way, we must always try our best, even if it doesn't work now, we can always continue to implement it in the future when Li Sheng launches troops to conquer the west and the two states merge.

Finally, in October, Li Shengxi ordered Nianxi to lead [-] soldiers, and together with Xiao Jingping, Jiang Muyi, Li Shengxi and others, set foot on the road to Xirong.
