Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jing Wen quickly screened out a dozen people, who were those who had passed the Chinese language test. They were preparing to join organizations affiliated with Tongwen Hall as senior employees.  When Jing Wen was about to take them into the Tongwen Pavilion inside the palace, someone actually stopped him.  "Sir Jingwen, we were asked by the Attendant Wei Zheng to stop you. He does not allow these Westerners to enter our province." The guard at the door said.  "Wei Zheng? Old Wei, what exactly does he want to do?" Jing Wen muttered.  Jingwen walked into the palace alone, and then came to Liangyi Hall. As a result, he heard Wei Zheng being a "troll" outside the door.  This Wei Zheng actually started to rant in front of Li Shimin, obviously speaking ill of Jing Wen and those Westerners.  "Your Majesty, I heard that you want to allow these Westerners to enter the Tongwen Hall in the palace to serve. This minister will never agree. Because Tongwen Hall belongs to Menxia Province, and Menxia Province is one of the central yamen of our Tang Dynasty. How can we  Can outsiders enter? So in order to ensure confidentiality, foreigners, let alone Westerners, are absolutely not allowed to enter!" Wei Zheng said.  "The Tongwen Pavilion is only affiliated with the Menxia Province, just like the Hongwen Pavilion. But they are far away from the Menxia Province's institutions, and it is impossible to find out the secrets!" Li Shimin said.  But Wei Zheng went on to say: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because this Tongwen Museum is affiliated with Menxia Province that they cannot be allowed in. What if they casually inquire about our affairs in Menxia Province? So I think it is still necessary.  Let them leave. It is even better for Datang to not hire these Westerners, otherwise we will leak the secret sooner or later. So I ask the emperor to allow my opinion, otherwise I will use the power of the subordinates to reject the emperor's suggestion.  Order! " Wei Zheng was obviously very tough and wanted to use the feudal power of the Menxia Province to oppose the emperor Li Shimin's order.  "Wei Zheng, why do you have to do this? It's just a few Westerners. What else can we do?" Li Shimin asked.  But Wei Zheng said firmly: "Your Majesty, those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Therefore, we cannot trust these foreign races. They will definitely not be of the same mind as us. Please also ask the Emperor not to allow them to enter the palace. Let alone  They serve in the imperial palace. If they are not tribute envoys and not envoys of the Western court, why can they come and enter the palace? Our Tang Dynasty palace is the core of the national court and absolutely no foreigners can enter and work here for a long time, so we still invite them.  The emperor refuses." When Jing Wen heard this outside the door, he immediately knew that Wei Zheng was guilty of his old habit.  Jing Wen knew that Wei Zheng was definitely a super nationalist, even more nationalistic than many people.  Later generations only know Wei Zheng as an upright remonstrator.  But in fact, Jing Wen came to this time and space in person, and Jing Wen realized that he was an out-and-out nationalist. Even Jing Wen, a later generation, would feel terrible about his cruelty towards foreigners.  This Wei Zheng's level of nationalism was even worse than that of later generations.  After defeating the Turks, everyone held a discussion on how to deal with the Turks.  Some people think that the Khan should be re-canonized, while others think that the Jizhou method should be adopted to manage it.  Some people even think that they should be allowed to move inland into the Tang Dynasty and then live with the Han people.  Jing Wen's proposal was to separate them and educate their offspring in Chinese culture, while the adults forced their women to marry Han people.  This is done in Chinese.  But no one expected that Wei Zheng at that time actually put forward another theory.  That is why Wei Zheng said that he could not move these Turks into the Han Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty because they were all a group of Hu people.  Those who are not of my race must have different minds.  Moreover, there are more than 100,000 Turks. If they all entered the Han region at once, they would not only expand a lot in the future, but they would put a dangerous weapon near their bodies.  Therefore, Wei Zheng also said that if the Tang Dynasty could defeat the Turks this time, this would be a divine punishment. God wanted to punish them, so they should take the opportunity to completely destroy them.  Wei Zheng persuaded Li Shimin not to let the Turks surrender just because they surrendered, but to take the opportunity to kill them all.  And this proposal almost made even Jing Wen, a so-called nationalist, scared to death.  The Turks number in the hundreds of thousands anyway.  If they were really massacred like this, I don¡¯t know how much evil they would have done!  Although Jing Wen, a later generation, claimed to be a nationalist.  He even said that he wanted to kill all the foreigners, but this was just saying.  Say this casually.  There is no problem, but if you say this in front of the emperor and explicitly suggest that the emperor massacre foreigners, then this is enough to scare the piss out of many people.  The Chinese Han people have been civilized people since ancient times and would never commit mass murder.  So when Wei Zheng said this, countless people were stunned on the spot.  Jing Wen, a future generation, was almost scared to death, let alone this?Where are the ancient Han officials?  Of course, Li Shimin would not adopt this suggestion, and none of the officials who were usually close to Wei Zheng supported him, not even Jing Wen dared to support him!  In the end, the Turks solved the problem comprehensively, that is, those Turks would not migrate into the Han area for the time being, but they would just be allowed to receive education where they were.  However, everyone also knows that Wei Zheng is an out-and-out nationalist. Wei Zheng is also full of hatred for many foreigners. Anyway, he does not have a good impression of foreigners.  Wei Zheng was obviously very resistant to Jing Wen bringing foreigners into the palace to work.  Jing Wen knows that Wei Zheng may have more of a personal mentality and is not truly dedicated to the public.  Jing Wen didn't know why Wei Zheng was like this. He was very sensitive to anything related to foreigners.  Although Wei Zheng usually seems to be devoted to the public good, once he involves foreigners, he will lose his cool and become very selfish, and he will not have any fair thoughts at all.  "Wei Zheng, it's better to let Jing Wen talk about this matter. If you have anything to say, tell him." Li Shimin said.  "Jing Wen, don't think that I don't know you are outside. Come in!" Jing Wen had no choice but to take the initiative and walked into the Liang Yi Hall. Wei Zheng's face was full of displeasure, obviously he was not satisfied with Jing Wen's decision to let him go outside.  The tribesmen were very dissatisfied when they came in, so he objected.  (To be continued)
