Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

"The purpose of the map of the world is to let others know how many states and counties there are in the Ming Dynasty. It doesn't need to be so detailed."

Speaking related to this, Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously much more confident:

"And even if there is a war, there will naturally be a sand table in the military tent, a map with a radius of a hundred miles, and scouts as eyes and ears. There is no need for such a complicated map."

Seeing her husband insisting on her opinion here, Queen Ma decided to follow the good advice:

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty knows it well, even if you don't even bother to copy this map."

But I didn’t expect Zhu Yuanzhang’s face to be cunning:

"My sister taught us more than once before that we should learn from others' strengths to make up for our own shortcomings."

"We despise that it takes a lot of effort to faithfully draw a map of the world, but we don't despise that such a detailed map is unnecessary."

"If you can see the landscape of China from here, then you will definitely use it. Doesn't this mean you save a lot of money?"

"Of course, the premise is that this map is real and not a screen that makes fun of people."

Seeing her husband's eloquent words, Queen Ma couldn't help but be curious:

"What if the content of this screen of light is to deceive people? Then punish the screen for the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Then she saw Tomorrow Zi pondering for a moment and nodding seriously:

"Then he shall be exiled to the imperial kitchen and punished as a stove."

…

"It is a shame that the Western Liao country has been destroyed."

Li Shimin shook his head. He had seen many countries rise and fall on the light screen, but this one in Xiliao was one of the most impressive.

Hundreds of horses galloping westward on the big stone of Yelu can be said to be an unparalleled achievement.

As a result, only fifty or sixty years later, there was nothing left to do but to be separated from one another, and a foreign tribe actually carried out the task of replacing the Tian family with Qi.

And although in the end it was because of the Mongol army that came here, it was still unpopular in the final analysis, so much so that people felt rebellious.

As for the later generations lamenting about "I am a hero and a heroic man", Li Shimin naturally thought of that later Tang history.

Who is his grandson? Then the two names Li Dan and Li Xian emerged from the bottom of my heart.

Li Dan can still be called a figure, but as for Li Xianjiu...

It can only be said that it is urgent to standardize the prince's tutoring.

"I am curious about how handsome Emperor Minwen can be."

Queen Changsun asked curiously.

Such words caused Admiral Tiance to pretend to be angry:

"Am I not beautiful?"

The ministers snickered, and Queen Changsun also smiled and shook her head:

"Later generations will call your majesty like a phoenix, which is very beautiful."

"If Mr. Lang runs west like that prince, I think he can build a prosperous country even in Central Asia."

"It's just pitiful that I have to be alone all my life..."

Then the snickers around him suddenly turned into laughter. Even Wei Zheng shook his head and laughed, and then he saw Chu Suiliang over there holding up a booklet next to him.

The loud laughter around him suddenly reminded Li Shimin that most of the old ministers in the palace were his elders in terms of age. No wonder there were many mischievous smiles at this time. Although he blushed slightly, he still said loudly:

"Guanyin and I have known each other since childhood, why would we bear to abandon her?"

Du Ruhui couldn't help laughing and said loudly:

"Why don't your Majesty and your empress return to the harem first, and then read today's diary in the evening."

After the fun, seeing the emperor sitting back on the couch and biting her ears, Du Ruhui got down to business:

"It's Nestorian."

Fang Xuanling also sighed together, with a complicated expression:

"It's Nestorian."

Seeing the expressions of the two prime ministers, Wei Zheng became curious and couldn't help but ask:

"Does the Duke know about Nestorianism?"

The two prime ministers looked at each other and saw others looking over curiously, so they nodded and said:

"This year, there was a report from Hexi, saying that a Persian monk named Aluoben came from the Western Regions, and he brought with him a copy of the Zun Sutra. He is currently translating the Sutra in Dunhuang."

"Attached to the memorial is a letter from the Persian monk. In the letter, he calls himself... Monk Jing of Da Qin. Please come to Chang'an to promote Nestorian teachings."

The room in Ganlu Hall suddenly became quiet, and no one expected such a thing to happen.

Wei Zheng hesitated and said, "That is to say..."

"That is to say, it should be the first time this religion has entered China."

Du Ruhui knew what he wanted to say, so he nodded and confirmed.

This made the others a little confused. Qin Qiong whispered:

"It is unheard of that the Nestorian pope lives in Rome and his followers can travel thousands of miles to preach here..."

It has not been long since Your Majesty sent Master Xuanzang to the west. They all still remember the purpose of Master Xuanzang's journey to the west. Isn't it just to get the essence of Tianzhu Classics?

It turns out that Nestorianism is good at the moment. Before anyone can think about whether to send a fleet west to see the Western Classics of Scenery in the Mediterranean, it turns out that people have already touched your doorstep.

As for Qin Qiong calling the Persian monk a soldier, everyone had no objection. After all, didn't later generations say that there was the First Crusade?

Every time there is a first time, there will be a second time. This shows that this Nestorian religion is definitely not willing to teach people to be good, so for a while, they became a little worried.

In the silence, Li Shimin suddenly raised his head:

“Did Nestorian Christianity come from the West and not from Persia?”

"Then you should be summoned! Summon him quickly!"

"Tell Na Aluo to bring me ten classics related to Western science, and I will agree to talk to him about preaching in our Tang Dynasty."

Empress Changsun had to remind her in a low voice:

"Mr. Lang, the Persian monk...the Roman monk is named Aroben."

Li Shimin seemed to only hear half of it, nodded and said:

"What I want is their copy of "Elements of Geometry"!"

Queen Changsun held her forehead, Qin Qiong was a little surprised, several civil servants were startled for a moment, and then bowed, Fang Xuanling directly agreed:

"I will draw up an official document today to explain the exchange, and invite him to go to Chang'an."

Fang Xuanling didn't want the Roman monk to think that Tang Dynasty wanted something from him, causing the other party to bargain.

If we can talk about the classics, everyone will be happy. Otherwise, we have to talk about the Nestorian religion of the Qin Dynasty secretly spreading its teachings in Dunhuang without the permission of the Khan.

…

"Nestorianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Taoism, Manichaeism..."

Zhao Kuangyin thought about it for a while and then felt a headache. This was just a general term. In fact, both Buddhism and Taoism have evolved many small religious traditions over hundreds of years. Their disciples have criticized each other, which is very complicated. .

Zhao Pu lost no time in praising:

"The Song Dynasty's attitude towards that religion at this time is just right."

Zhao Kuangyin's frown opened slightly.

He was very disdainful of Xiao Qu's order from the law firm to attack Nestorianism and Dashijiao.

But he would not dare to raise the slogan of "freedom of belief" like Mongolia.

And the most appropriate way... He couldn't help but think of Zhou Taizu and Zhou Shizong's strategies to suppress Buddhism, as well as the harmful consequences of Chen Qing's actions by the civil servants at that time:

"The most reliable thing is to enlighten the people."

"The more people are literate and can become officials because of it, the fewer people will be obsessed with the things of gods, ghosts, Buddhas and Taoism."

Zhao Pu immediately followed closely:

"And if you want to enlighten the people, you need to have enough food and clothing in the warehouse, and the price of paper needs to be cheaper. Only in this way can the head of Guizhou know the words of the saint."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded happily.

Master Kongjiong curled his lips in his heart:

I've suffered so much without doing anything, and my brother still thinks that I'm not obsessed with using strange powers to mess with gods?
