Deep within the Wang Clan Residence, Wang Chong finally ed scholar with a long and slender beard, dressed in a white robe His deust of ould blow hi Wang Chong and Old Eagle walk in, the round and atte to breathe as softly as possible

It was clear that he had no idea why the ascendant Son of Heaven’s disciple, the Young Marquis of the Great Tang, had requested to meet an obscure and powerless teacher like hi to your orders, we searched the capital and found him in an unremarkable Daoist tee and was preparing to leave If we had been just a little slow, he would have already left,&8221; Wei Guo and Wei Wu reported

It was evident that this pair also had no inkling of why Wang Chong had ordered them to search the entire city for this feeble scholar, a venture that had used a great deal of ti did not pay attention to Wei Guo and Wei Wu Since the aze had been fixed on the ed scholar

I didn’t think I would actually be able to find hihtly with exciteed scholar seemed nameless and obscure, in another do rarely aded scholar was definitely one of the asked expectantly

"This lowly person is To be able tofor this lowly person for three lifetiht this lowly person ask why the Lord Marquis has su’s face was filled with fear and panic This was his first ti an influential character of this level, and it left him very nervous

Hahaha, it really is hi was absolutely certain His na and slender beard The person before him matched completely with the description of that ‘Master Yuan’

In the Great Tang, disdain for barbarians uages, which is why Wang Chong’s ability to speak Sanskrit and Tibetan shocked sohad found this fact unbelievable

But Wang Chong did not think this strange ‘Know yourself and know your enemies, and you will never be defeated’ In order to defeat the foreigners in battle, he had to learn their language, understand theths; not exclude them and close his ears

These were the words of the elder who had taught Wang Chong Sanskrit and Tibetan, and these words had originated froh alst the court and nobility, he was a celebrity aions, especially the teachers of the capital and the ions

It wasn’t es, which included Turkic, Tibetan, Mengshe Zhao, Goguryeon, Arabian, Characene, and the various languages used in the Western Regions It was also because he was an extreht elders, children, Daoist priests, nuns, wives, merchants, butchers… and ale or two in just one or two ethe elder who had taught Wang Chong Sanskrit and Tibetan

However, this Master Yuan had only re off for the Western Regions, where it was said that he eventually died

When Wang Chong had heard of this, he was filled with re had been able to value this Master Yuan a little earlier, could understand a littlecountries, could confront the ascendant Abbasid Caliphate and Charax Spasinu with a little s would have been different

In order to understand the foreign countries surrounding the Great Tang a little e nues, especially those people talented in instruction Master Yuan was precisely this sort of person

As long as one gave hie to stand on, he could definitely raise a large nu in understanding all the countries on its border

But Wang Chong had not searched the entire capital for this ’s heart, he had an even bigger plan

Ever since the era of Great Eions had been in a constant state of division and unification, gains and losses, an endless cycle of conquest and loss And the various kingdoions had never felt much affection toward the Central Plains

The crucial point in resolving all this and breaking the cycle of conquest and loss was language Because their languages were different, they could not communicate, could not understand each other, so there was naturally no affection

But if both sides froeneral to the lowest soldiers, could freely co would be different

If they could understand what the Central Plains was and what the Great Tang was, the people of the Western Regions would develop a completely different impression of the Central Plains

If he wanted to do this, he wouldn’t teach the Tang the languages of the Western Regions, but teach the people of the Western Regions the language of the Great Tang Only this would resolve the problem once and for all

But first, he needed soions to serve as a teacher

And Yuan Shusong was the individual Wang Chong had found that was crucial to solving this probleht be so bold as to ask, does Master truly knoenty-three different foreign languages?&8221; Wang Chong said

As Yuan Shusong heard these words, a hint of shock flickered through his eyes He truly did know quite a few languages, but not even the people close to him knew that the exact number enty-three How did this famous character know this fact? And it was such awas surprised, he did not dare to be sloith his response

"Might I kno Master ave a gentle s

"This… when this lowly person was young, he knew not of the vastness of the world Coupled with the poverty at ho the world, traveling deep into the Western Regions, to Sindhu, Arabia, and Charax Spasinu, learning their languages,&8221; Yuan Shusong said
