Myriad Worlds Steals Food, And Queen Chang Sun Falls In Love With Taking Selfies

Chapter 133: No Marriage, No Vassal State

"How dare you, Shuzi! The small country of Goguryeo has bullied me too much! I, the Tang Dynasty, swear to destroy it. There will be others but not me!"

"One day I will advise your Majesty to destroy this arrogant and shameless little country!"

"Okay, historically my husband let them off the hook, but they still don't know how to be grateful."

"Okay, this time I will definitely advise your Majesty to kill him completely, so as to prevent him from talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong in the future.

Hearing this, Du Yu felt happy because this was the effect he wanted.

It would be great if the little devil Nan Bang and the others could be wiped out from history, so that these guys can harm the Xia Kingdom in the future.

Du Yu added: "In addition, we must pay attention to the current Jiaozhi. From now on, he will also be an ambitious person."

"Sister Zhangsun, please remember one thing. There are only interests between countries, not feelings."

"It is useless to talk about anything else between countries!"

"The Great Tang Dynasty made one of the biggest mistakes, which was that it was too vain to pay attention to reality. It took over so many vassal states and got no benefits at all."

"Every year those vassal states come to pay tribute, but they are rewarded with many treasures. It is simply putting the cart before the horse."

"In this case, why do we need these vassal states? Do they look good?"

"And they are useless. They have benefited from the Tang Dynasty, but they are not grateful. When the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, they will all jump up and bite the Tang Dynasty."

"Don't be vain, be pragmatic!"

"Don't let other countries praise you and say you are a great country. If you understand etiquette and style, you will be fooled and confused."

"Whether you are a great country does not depend on whether you have etiquette or not?"

"It depends on how many soldiers you have and how powerful you are!"

"We have experienced so much suffering, and we can sum it up in these few words."

"First, a weak country has no diplomacy."

"As long as your country is weak, no matter how reasonable you are, no one will listen to you."

"Your country is strong and your farts taste good. No one dares to ignore every word you say.

"Second, justice lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth (dadd) lies only within the range of the cannon."

"Wherever my sword can kill, there is my justice."

"Wherever my cannon can hit, I have the final say, and what I say is the truth.

"Confucianism can only be trusted, otherwise it will harm the country and the people."

"There is no such thing as a gentleman without a party. The largest party from ancient times to the present is the party of gentlemen."

"They control the court and fool the public opinion."

"Since the ancient royal dynasty, many noble families have been destroyed and many have perished, but the so-called gentleman still stands tall in the court.

"So I ask Sister Zhangsun to advise Li Shimin not to make peace with each other, not to pay tribute, not to cede land, and not to pay compensation."

"He is one of the few wise emperors in history. Some people say he is the emperor of the ages, but many people say he is unworthy."

"One of the biggest controversies is his marriage policy, so we later generations think that the Great Tang Dynasty he established was not strong enough.

"In the words of people of our time, if you are strong enough, why would you marry the princess of your country to a foreign country and suffer?"

"Even if we have to get married, a princess from another country should marry us in the Tang Dynasty, instead of giving our princess away to someone else.

"So the marriage policy pursued by the Great Tang Dynasty has been criticized by later generations."

"Especially when Princess Wencheng married Tubo and brought a lot of technology to Tubo, making Tubo stronger."

"But in later generations, Tubo relied on Emperor Tiangao to gain geographical advantages and always supported its own troops."

"So Li Shimin wants to be worthy of being remembered in history and become an emperor through the ages, so he asks him not to get married."

"If you want to get married, you can also let a princess from another country marry you."

"Second, he made all the nations come to court."

"It also makes us future generations feel ridiculous. There is no benefit at all from having so many vassal states, but it is sending benefits to other countries every year.

"Those vassal states paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty with worthless things every year, but the Tang Dynasty returned to them ten times and a hundred times the wealth."

“During the entire Great Tang Dynasty, the favorite thing of these vassal states was to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty.

"People regard the Great Tang Dynasty as a fool, but as a result, the successive monarchs of the Great Tang Dynasty are still complacent."

"Why are all the nations coming to court! What are you doing with this nonsense! Wouldn't it be better to just turn the other country's land into your own? No?!"

"What's the use of having that false name?"

“In the end it’s just a matter of feeding tigers.”

Hearing Du Yu's words, Queen Changsun felt deafened and murmured to herself: "No marriage, no tribute, no land, no compensation."

"There are only interests between countries."

“Weak countries have no diplomacy.”

"Justice lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth lies only within the range of the cannon."

"Dirty brother, every word you say is mysterious!"

"Sister has learned the lesson and remembered it all."

Du Yu said: "Sister, I'll send you a drawing."

“This is a flintlock firearm made in later generations using gunpowder.

"Too advanced firearms cannot be manufactured now with Datang's technology.

"But you should be able to barely make this kind of firearm."

"After we have a large amount of equipment, we can conquer the Western Region."

"Sister, I must protect the technology of this weapon and not spread it to outsiders. I must not let anyone who is not my Daxia get this kind of thing.

Empress Changsun nodded and said: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely hand these things over to people I trust to ensure their safety."

But Du Yu shook his head and said: "There is no one whom you can absolutely trust in this world. If you want to maintain confidentiality, you cannot rely on trust in people, but on the system."

"Rely on the system?" Empress Changsun was a little surprised and asked: "How to do it?"

Du Yu replied: "In our modern times, the complete technical data of various important technologies will not be placed in one place, but will be divided into several parts for storage."

"Every part has strict confidentiality methods, and it will be very difficult for the enemy to get a copy."

"And even if you get part of it, you can't fully know the relevant technical information."

"This avoids one of the risks of leaks.".
