Um?
We didn't say anything or do anything. When did we provoke this Tyrannosaurus rex?
You have to be reasonable...
At this time, Liu Jie's voice sounded: "At present, conquering Goguryeo is the top priority. Hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting for the enemy. Tens of millions of stones and grains are gathered in the camp. The people in the country are eagerly looking forward to it. The arrow is already on the string and has to be launched. Yi Nan Yin Yin Cunning, taking advantage of the situation, why not implement a delaying strategy, temporarily agree to his terms of peace, sign a non-infringement agreement, and order him to prepare cattle and sheep as betrothal gifts after the spring begins. Find another excuse to tear up the contract and teach Xue Yantuo a lesson?"
When Fang Jun heard this, he said, "Oh, that's what His Majesty Li Er did in history. On the one hand, he promised to marry off the emerging princess and stabilized Yi Nan. On the other hand, he aggressively attacked Goguryeo. After failing to conquer the entire territory of Goguryeo, he decisively withdrew his troops. He tore up the contract with Yi Nan and acted rogue...
In fact, there are twists and turns.
His Majesty Li Er wants to tear up the contract, but he feels a little embarrassed. How can he be the Khan of Heaven if his words are not followed? He asked Yi Nan to rush to Lingzhou in person to welcome the bride. He was sure that as Yi Nan was the Khan of Xue Yantuo, he would definitely be unwilling to go into dangerous areas. What if the Tang Dynasty sent troops to kill him?
As a result, Yi Nan actually came...
It can be seen how determined Yi Nan was in seeking to marry the Princess of Tang Dynasty.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was two heads tall. No matter how shameless he was, he could not say any regrets, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.
However, Yi Nan was unlucky. Although he rushed to Lingzhou in person, most of the 100,000 livestock he had agreed with in the Tang Dynasty died due to the hot weather and lack of water and fodder. When the news reached Chang'an, His Majesty Li Er was almost overjoyed. The bride price is not enough, you still want to marry my daughter? Just dream?
So he confidently broke the contract, and Yi Nan himself felt wronged. He could only return to the Khan's tent in Dujin Mountain with his head downcast...
After hearing that Liu Ji had come up with such an idea, the ministers were in a dilemma and were considering countermeasures. Even though many people expressed support.
His Majesty Li Er felt that this idea was not very good, but he had no good plan at the moment, so he had to say: "I have been ordered by heaven and am the master of the world. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to go back on my word and go back on my word."
This Majesty cherishes his reputation the most, and he is really unwilling to do such things as breaking his promise and getting rich...
Liu Jie, a clinker, had already made a plan: "Isn't your majesty going to renege on your promise? At that time, as long as I order Yi Nan to come to Datang in person to welcome the bride, even if he doesn't come to Chang'an, he will at least go to Lingzhou. Yi Nan will definitely not dare to come, but there is no way in the world. Why does the groom not come to propose marriage in person? Then His Majesty can naturally reject the marriage. Yi men are stubborn and violent by nature. Once the Tang Dynasty does not marry them, their appeal will naturally weaken, and the tribesmen will have second thoughts. Moreover, I boldly estimate that Yi Nan is already old and does not have many years to live. As long as he dies and his two sons compete for the throne, the country will be in chaos, and your Majesty will be able to sit down and control it!"
Fang Jun suddenly looked at Liu Ji with admiration. It turned out that Liu Ji gave His Majesty Li Er the idea in history!
But I don’t know, when Yi Nan braves the danger and rushes to Lingzhou in person, will Liu Jie, who came up with the idea, hatefully scold His Majesty for being stupid?
Hehe, it’s interesting to watch history repeat itself in front of you...
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and felt a little moved.
The ministers all agreed with their words. After all, this was considered a good idea. Although it was a bit dirty and lost the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, in the end, it was standing on the commanding heights of morality, and it was justified!
But he saw Chu Suiliang standing up abruptly, bowing his head to the ground in front of His Majesty Li Er, with a righteous and impassioned expression on his face: "Your Majesty is the king of a country and the co-ruler of the world. You should hold the Constitution of Heaven in your mouth, and you are so majestic! The Emperor! Since you have already promised to marry, you should not have any intention of advancing or retreating, or have any intention of repenting. This is really a very little consideration, and you will lose a lot. Your Majesty's power will be damaged. The other country is angry at seeing the bully, and the people are carrying a burden. It’s shameful to make an appointment, and when dissatisfaction arises, it will inevitably lead to border troubles!”
Huangmen Shilang had the responsibility of discussing political affairs, but Chu Suiliang was usually not keen on political affairs and rarely expressed opinions. He seemed to give people the impression that he was just a calligrapher with excellent writing. However, at this moment, he was strong and upright, which made people feel There is a trace of Wei Zheng's legacy in the trance...
Before the ministers could recover from the change in his image, they had already continued: "Your Majesty has been in the world for more than ten years. He has united the common people with kindness and kindness, and pacified the Rong and barbarians with his faith. The whole world is happy. It is a pity that it cannot have a beginning and an end." What's more, there are countless Yi and Di tribes in Mobei. How can the Tang Dynasty punish them all? I believe that we should cherish them with virtue, so that those who do evil will be in the Yi and not in China, and those who break faith will not be here!"
All the ministers and the first emperor were immersed in Chu Suiliang's impassioned speech, feeling the righteousness and righteousness of the world, but when it came to the last few sentences, everyone almost jumped... This special So after all is said and done, don't you just agree with marriage and don't engage in those crooked ways?
There was an uproar in the political hall.
Since ancient times, who would be willing to use their own women to make peace with barbarians unless they had no choice but to suffer the stench and endless humiliation? The civil and military ministers above the Tang Dynasty were all killed from the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood. No matter what their stance was, they had a sense of arrogance in their bones and never regarded those barbarians as human beings!
Even the "Zhenguan Law" has a clause that "Han people are not allowed to marry barbarians"...
In the past, when Jieli Khan arrived at the Weishui River with troops approaching the city, and the Tibetan soldiers came to the border with the intention of invading the border, the Tang Dynasty was helpless for a moment. Maybe he just pinched his nose and accepted the marriage. He remembered the shame and humiliation in his heart and repaid it a hundredfold in the future. !
But nowadays, when the Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and millions of soldiers, who would be willing to get married?
Above the ancient history, that is an inescapable shame!
The ministers looked at Chu Suiliang with contempt one after another. This man was very knowledgeable and could write very well, but he didn't know whether he was stupid because of his reading, lacked any nerve in his mind, and was extremely pedantic...
Chu Suiliang saw that his impassioned speech, which he had been preparing for a long time, did not receive the approval he expected, but instead received countless disdain and scorn. He felt blocked and a little disappointed, but he did not take it seriously.
You murderers know how to win meritorious deeds by fighting and killing, but have you ever thought that soldiers are the most important thing for the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. Even if the country is big, if it is warlike, it will perish!
He took a step forward and said loudly: "You can't play with your soldiers. If you play with them, there will be no power. You can't destroy your soldiers. If you destroy them, you will call the bandits. In the past, King Wu Fu Chai died because he was fond of war. King Xu Yan also died without weapons. Therefore, the king of Ming Dynasty controlled the country. The superiors do not play with soldiers, and the subordinates do not waste force. "Book of Changes" says: Survival does not forget death, so that the body is safe and the country can be protected! Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty only needs to cultivate sharp weapons and spears, and appease the barbarians with benevolence and love. The name of righteousness lies in I am in an invincible position, and I must not start a war without giving others a reason!"
The country must have armaments, otherwise it will be in danger of subjugation. However, frequent wars will not only damage the country and cause the treasury to be empty, but also make the generals take advantage of the situation to become stronger. At that time, the external force will be strong, and the weak branches will be strong. This is also the way to subjugate the country!
It is clear that sending a woman can eliminate this difficult battle, so why do we have to face the difficulties and take the dangerous road?
It's extremely unwise...
Your Majesty Li Er looked gloomy and was very angry.
He sneered at the truth in Chu Suiliang's impassioned speech.
Hu people are afraid of power but not virtuous. You actually asked me to "appease you with benevolence and love"? Do you think that if you carry a piece of meat into the mountains, tigers and wild wolves will stop biting you? It's so naive! If you want to tame the barbarians, benevolence, justice and morality are completely useless. Only killing and suppression can tame them!
Chu Suiliang's remarks are simply the arrogant talk among scholars.
What annoyed him even more was that Chu Suiliang actually persuaded him to agree to a marriage?
Mother!
Do you think that under such circumstances, I don’t know how to give up a princess in exchange for time?
Nothing will be allowed to hinder him from conquering Goguryeo and moving forward towards the grand goal of "one emperor through the ages"!
This is a national policy!
However, on the wall of my palace, there is a picture of "no marriage" hanging on it. I read it day and night to each other. If I agree to the marriage now, how can I sleep peacefully in my heart with anger in the future? Not to mention that I am supported and admired by the people of the world because of this calligraphy. Now that I am going in the opposite direction, how will the people of the world be disappointed and laugh at me?
I was so kidnapped by that calligraphy!
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun angrily, pointed his finger at him, and said calmly: "What is Mr. Fang's opinion on this matter?"
It's all because of you, the bastard, otherwise why would you be in such a dilemma?
