"Qin Na, you seem to have something on your mind? Tell me and let me hear it." Wu Feng also noticed that something was wrong with the look of Mulan from the Western Region. This girl who usually comes and goes in a hurry, although she finally stayed in Wu Feng gradually lost his original passion for pursuing this girl, and increasingly busy things seemed to be wiping away his original enthusiasm. , Wufeng doesn't know whether this is due to psychological maturity or old mentality, but he hopes to regain the vigorous and upward passion of the past.
Biting her lip, Haliqina didn't know how to speak. Master Saibo and Master Abuhiev had already hinted, explicitly or implicitly, that she should play a more important role around this man, so that she would be like a stake in the man's side. The other party's inaction has not brought any benefit to the development of the entire Western Region. Compared with the development of Northern Luzon and Tengger, the Western Region is now lagging behind. If you want to prevent the status of the Western Region from continuing to decline in the new empire, as a Western Region person , Haliqina should also be able to play a more important role. Her brother had also reminded her of this, but it seemed not easy for Haliqina to change her mentality all of a sudden.
His eyes wandered over the girl's round face. It had been a long time since Wu Feng had looked at this beauty from the Western Regions head-on. Although he had been working as a copy secretary by his side, in fact, Wu Feng didn't have much contact with her. At that time, Wu Feng would gather together for several days to read official documents, and this beauty from the Western Region seemed to be content with her cleaning and sorting work, rarely disturbing Wu Feng while he was working, and the two of them even had less time to talk. Much less. The rumors that Hariqina might be selected into Wu Feng's harem, which once caused a lot of noise, disappeared under the stable structure of Angel, Situ Yutang and Lin Yuexin, and Wu Feng had no more energy to pay attention to these. Now this beautiful woman's behavior made Wu Feng subconsciously want to take a closer look at what this girl was thinking.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask you, what is your greatest pursuit or ultimate goal in your life? You are about to ascend the throne. Is this your greatest wish?" I thought in my mind a thousand times. Hundreds of revolutions. Haliqina finally stopped and stared at Wu Feng as he asked word by word.
Slightly startled, Wu Feng was a little surprised as to why this girl would ask such a question. He had always thought that this girl had been living in a contradictory mood of hatred for him and helplessness at the conquest of her nation, and this When someone asked him such a sentence, Wu Feng realized that he often had the habit of looking down on these women.
"Why do you ask?" Wu Feng asked after thinking about it, and then said: "Maybe everyone's pursuit is different, but they should at least have a dream, even if it is a dream that can never be realized, the Imperial Crown is important to me. It's not the ultimate goal. It's just a step at most. It's too cold to be at a high place. Not everyone likes that position. But sometimes you can't do it. The travels in my youth had a great influence on me. Maybe at that time At that time, I had a vague dream. Although I may not be able to achieve it, I will work hard. My goal is to let Tanghe civilization bathe the mainland and shine all over the world. At the same time, it will also allow us Tanghe people to absorb more foreign resources. Civilization and create a more glorious era.”
When he said these words, Wu Feng had already subconsciously poured his feelings into them. Even he himself was a little confused as to why he said these words to such a girl. Whether it was something he felt or just saying casually, Lian Wufeng was a little confused.
Hearing Wu Feng's heartfelt words, Haliqina couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't know that her casual question actually aroused such profound insights from the other party, and a look of deep thought lingered on her face. .
"Then have you considered not basing your own dreams on the suffering of more people? Is this in line with the morality of you Tang people?" Even her breathing became a little short, and Haliqina knew what she was saying. It had to be a bit abrupt, almost questioning, but that was how she had always been. As long as you want to ask, you must ask clearly.
"Qinna, it seems that you are still worried about your Loulan problem. Didn't Saibo do a good job in the Western Region? Didn't Mr. Abuhiev also do a very good job in his own position? What do you think? Have the Western Regions changed much compared to what they are now ten years ago? Do you mean that the Western Regions must have what you call the royal family’s orthodox rule to be reasonable, legal and in line with the people’s wishes? I can’t see it. Three hundred years ago, it seemed that the Western Regions now The country also does not exist. As far as I know, in the Western Region at that time, there were more than a dozen small city-states fighting with each other. Your five Western Region countries were just the last few winners. Four hundred years ago, it seemed that there was still the original Yuanrong Empire. Affiliated territory. Could it be said that the difference between me unifying the Western Regions and the five Western Regions before revitalizing the Western Regions is that big? Which of the other small country city-states did not surrender in front of the weapons of your Five Kingdoms? At least I did not have power over your Five Western Regions. Let's kill them all." Wu Feng calmed down at this time. He felt that it was necessary to discuss this issue with the other party, not because of how important the other party was or how much influence it would have, but because of this issue. Wu Feng himself has been exploring, trying to find a reasonable explanation.
With the establishment of the new empire, many territories that were not originally part of the Tanghe Empire were brought in. How to integrate these newly attached areas into the new empire as soon as possible? Military means are only the most helpless and fundamental guarantee. Economic integration will It is the most fundamental method, and the integration of culture and art, which represents the highest symbol of civilization, is the best strategy. If these three entities can be synchronized and complement each other, then the new empire can truly have long-term stability. Now Wufeng also feels that it is very necessary to sort out the thoughts and current mentality and emotions of these nations. This girl seems to be a good target.
Wu Feng's sharp counterattack made Hariqina speechless all of a sudden, her face turned red but she was speechless. The other party's words undoubtedly doubted her own personality, and suspected that she was only losing the right to rule for her family instead of for others. The nation's right to self-determination is outraged, but the other side's arguments seem to be grand and even extremely accurate.
Hundreds of years ago, the Western Region was originally a place of strife and war. Taking advantage of the collapse of the Yuanrong Empire, the Western Region suddenly transformed into the Warring States Period. More than a dozen ethnic groups of various sizes each established their own political power, and wars were ups and downs. It lasted for nearly a hundred years before several larger ethnic groups gradually stood out and annexed other smaller ethnic groups to establish the current Western Region pattern. However, the Western Region Alliance became too weak in the face of the powerful Tanghe armed forces, almost overnight. The Five Kingdoms have become the Five Prefectures of the Western Region, and I have suddenly fallen from being the proud daughter of heaven to what I am now. Hariqina sometimes has to ask herself, is her hatred for Li Wufeng so profound because he deprived her of her identity, status and bright future, or is it really for the nation's right to independence and self-determination as she keeps saying? Even Haliqina herself did not dare to think deeply about this issue. She found that she was even avoiding thinking about exploring this issue. Maybe it was both, but Haliqina knew that the latter component was far less than the former.
Seeing the other party's rapid rise and fall of his plump chest and thoughtful eyes, Wu Feng smiled silently: "I have said long ago that a nation not only has its ups and downs in the history of the mainland, but also the rise and fall of each nation in various parts of the mainland. They all have their own special status, but this does not affect the division and reunification of the country. At best, it is just one of the factors. If it is really necessary to divide by ethnicity or race, it is too far-fetched and will only cause more problems. A big disaster. What is the real reason that determines the rise and fall of a nation or a country? It still depends on whether the upper-level political power can satisfy the interests of the majority of the people. Of course, there are primary interests and secondary interests. This is what determines a nation or a country. The foundation for the survival of a country or a nation. I don’t see that the Western Region now under Saibo’s governance is any worse than the Western Region a few years ago. Qin Na, if you don’t mean to say anything, do the people in the Western Region still hate me, Li Wufeng?”
She tried to interrupt Wu Feng several times, but found that she really couldn't overwhelm the other person, either in terms of eloquence or the nature of the matter. Even if Hariqina didn't want to admit it, she could only say that she really couldn't be with the other person. In contrast, he looked at the other party with complicated eyes for a long time, and then squeezed out a few words: "Very good, I can't say anything about you, but please remember that you should fulfill your original promise and make the lives of our people in the Western Region better every year. One year is better. If you can't even do this, then I believe that no matter what you call the rise and fall of the nation or the survival of the country, it is just a trick to deceive people!"
Looking at the opponent's back as he stamped his feet and walked away, the round and round buttocks twisted and caused waves of buttocks. Wu Feng almost forgot about the verbal exchange with the opponent just now. This girl wanted to seek some help for her hometown. It is really funny that such a clumsy method is used. Both Saibo and Abuhiev have approached him to request a comprehensive reconstruction of the trade route from India across the five countries in the Western Region to Qingyang, but they were rejected. It was stuck in James' financial department, and Xiao Tang also believed that spending huge sums of money to build this road was not a top priority and could be postponed. Perhaps this girl also received great trust from the elders in her hometown, but she used this method to "express it euphemistically."
