Chapter 430 Culture War
Li Yushu's eyes widened, "You want me to chop off the elbow?"
"Not enough?" Qin Mo frowned, "You chop it first. After you chop it, there are still chickens, ducks and geese over there. There are dozens of them, enough for you to chop!"
"Qin Mo, you!" Li Yushu was so wronged that she almost burst into tears.
Li Yulan could sit on her lap to eat and rest, but she could only chop off her elbows.
"Don't want to chop? It doesn't matter. Let's change people. You can wash your hands and go out!" Qin Mo said while eating the melon seeds peeled by Li Yulan.
"Okay, I'll chop it. Isn't it okay if I chop it?" Li Yushu took a deep breath, held back his tears, looked at the big elbows in front of him, and thought of them as Qin Mo, who felt particularly smooth and relieved when he chopped them.
Soon, the side dishes and other dishes were ready, and Qin Mo had had enough rest. He asked Li Yulan to look at Xiaojiu, and then turned on all power.
I hope these princes and princesses won’t be able to eat until tomorrow.
Finally, with the help of a group of royal chefs, more than forty dishes were finally cooked before dark, each dish filling a large pot, enough for two to three hundred people.
Qin Mo was also fished out of the water, which made Li Yulan feel very distressed.
"Idiot, follow me back to Annan Hall to change clothes!" Li Yue also knew that cooking so many dishes was indeed quite tiring.
Qin Mo went to Annan Hall with the support of Li Yulan.
Although he left the palace to live, the Annan Palace was still reserved for him.
Li Yue was speechless. He just asked Xiao Gao to change clothes. Why did the third sister also go in?
He had no choice but to stand outside and guard, not daring to urge him.
This fool, let him take a simple bath and play in the water.
After a while, Qin Mo came out feeling refreshed.
Li Yulan looked at Li Yue, blushed, and quickly walked out with her head lowered.
When we arrived at the Li Zheng Hall, we were filled with people.
Li Cungong, Li Daoyuan, and Li Anji are all here.
Everyone who can come here is named Li.
Most of the men and women were unknown to Qin Mo.
Everyone is ranked according to their status and relationship.
Qin Mo was directly pulled over by the old man and sat at his table with Li Shilong.
Then there are the Queen and Prince, Li Zhi, Li Yushu, Li Yue, and Liu Ruyu!
Daqian originally had a separate meal system, but since Qin Mo made a large round table, it became popular in the palace, making dining in this way lively.
Li Yuan was still in a good mood. He learned from his two grandsons that Jing'an was doing well, and he felt less guilty.
"Now that you have entered Daqian, don't call me by your Tubo name. Your mother named you Li Shuang'an. This is a very good name. I allow you to be named Li!"
And you, just call me Li Xue. Snow is pure and flawless. Grandpa hopes that you will always be carefree!"
The two brothers and sister were very happy and knelt down quickly, "Thank you, grandpa!"
"Get up quickly!"
Li Yuan helped the two brothers and sister up, "Come, let me introduce to you the people in our Li family!"
Immediately, Li Yuan began to introduce them one by one.
The two brothers and sisters also listened very carefully.
They felt more passionate and sincere emotions than Tubo.
Li Shuangan secretly vowed to make both countries safe as his mother expected!
It took half an hour to introduce everyone before everyone was introduced.
Then the banquet started.
During this period, the old man continued to bring them food and said: "After you leave the palace, don't go to Honglu Temple. Just stay at... Jingyun's house!"
Qin Mo was scratching his elbow. Li Yushu's chopped elbow was a bit big and it was a bit difficult to talk. When he heard this, he almost choked, "Old man, is this inappropriate?"
That's right, although they are the children of Princess Jing'an, they represent Tubo.
Staying at his house is not asking for trouble.
Those people still didn't impeach him the next day. Although he wasn't afraid, it was annoying!
"There is nothing inappropriate. I have already thought about it. When the time comes, the brothers and sisters will stay in the capital!" Li Yuan said.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Li Shuang'an quickly knelt down and said: "Grandpa, we have caused too much trouble when we came here. We won't live at my brother-in-law's house anymore. Besides, I still have to find my uncle.
You are my relatives, but they are also my relatives over there. I... going back to Tubo will be of greater use than staying in the capital. Please understand, grandpa!"
He will eventually return to Tubo.
Li Yuan was also stunned, and then he sighed, "Yes, you are always called Mangluo Mangzan!"
Li Shuangan lowered his head. Although Daqian was good, it was not his country.
The atmosphere was a little cold for a while.
"Old man, you are so narrow-minded!" Qin Mo said: "What's wrong with Mangluo Mangzan? After all, he was born and raised in Tubo since he was a child, and he also received the cultural influence of Tubo.
If there was a more powerful country now and asked you to stay, would you be willing to do so? You would definitely not be willing!"
"Jingyun, this is not a cultural thing!" Li Cungong couldn't help but remind him.
"Uncle Li, this is a matter of culture. Let's put it this way, if Tubo agrees with the culture of Daqian, then is there any difference between Tubo and Daqian?
There is no difference. After a few generations, they will learn. Daqian wears Gan clothes, speaks Gan language, and eats the same as Daqian people, and Tubo will exist in name only.
My father is actually quite right. Sometimes war is not about me sending troops to defeat you. There is also an invisible and intangible war. It is a cultural war.
Why do the neighboring vassal states recognize us as their father?
That's because we have a strong cultural heritage and we never take the initiative to invade others, we will help them become better.
Being militaristic and warlike will lead to death, but if people from the same country say the same words to you, write the same words, and everything is exactly the same, and they think they are from the same country from the bottom of their hearts, is it useful if they don’t recognize it on the surface?”
Li Cungong was silent. He understood the meaning of Qin Mo's words.
If you put it this way, it is indeed more meaningful for Li Shuangan to go back than to stay.
Li Shilong didn't say anything either. He also agreed with what Qin Mo said.
Li Yuan is not an old fool, he just feels uncomfortable.
Although Li Shuang'an was smart, he had not understood the deep meaning of Qin Mo's words. He only thought that Qin Mo stood up to save him, and was secretly grateful.
He felt that among so many people, only his brother-in-law understood him best!
"Tibet is now on the wrong path, but this mistake is not fatal yet, and we cannot correct it at this time.
Only when Tubo's mistakes are completely exposed will we have to find ways to cure this problem.
Who asked us to worry so much?
Old man, when we make Tubo one of our own, it doesn’t matter whether we are in Tubo or not, whether his surname is Li or not. The most important thing is that he is still your grandson. This is enough, right?"
Li Yuan nodded, "Yes, yes, what Jing Yun said makes sense, but I'm old, I don't know if I can wait until someday."
Qin Mo patted Li Yuan's hand: "You have to believe Father, this day will not be too far away, right Father?"
