Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
Facing Kinderman's questioning, Fuyu Yici remained very calm.
After there was no sound from Kinderman, Fuyu Yici finally said, "Has the princess finished speaking?"
Seeing him like this, Kinderman was somewhat speechless.
She said bluntly: "Then what else do you want to hear?"
"Tell me about the cause of this war."
As he spoke, Fuyu Yici looked directly at Li Shimin and said, "Reporting to my emperor, the reason why our army invaded Silla is because of the grudges that have been forged for a long time."
"Once upon a time, when the Japanese invaded Silla, I, the Baekje soldiers, were in a foreign country and fought bloody battles for Silla."
"But in the end, what kind of result will we get?"
"Then King Zhenping not only deducted the spoils that should have belonged to us, but also asked us to go out to help them fight, and also used his own food and grass."
"Doing this is what allies should do, but what brothers should do?"
This is indeed true, because this was also the foreshadowing of Li Chengqian's stay in Silla.
It's just that it's been several years since we talked about this, so it's really inappropriate to talk about it now.
Kinderman also sneered and said: "That was all six years ago. If you are dissatisfied with this, you should have spoken out and renegotiated with my father six years ago."
"And now, six years later, you are using this as a reason for war. Isn't it inappropriate?"
Hearing this, Fuyu Yici shook his head again and said, "It's really inappropriate."
"But I want to take back the remains of our fallen soldiers. Isn't it wrong?"
Speaking of this, Fuyu Yici also said to Li Shimin with an indignant look: "Your Majesty, our army was unable to take away the corpses of the soldiers before, so we had to bury them on the spot."
"And just at the end of last year, we made a big deal with Silla and wanted to recover the remains of soldiers who were injured or killed in past wars so that they could be reunited with their families before the year."
"But our army was attacked by Silla when they entered Silla to collect the remains of soldiers despite clearly saying hello to Silla."
"How can we not make our country angry?"
As he spoke, Buyeo Yiji looked straight at Kinderman and said, "Don't you Silla people have any conscience? Don't forget that those people didn't deserve to die. They died in battle to save you!"
Hearing this, Kinderman also felt aggrieved.
But for a while, she couldn't say a word to refute.
After hearing Fuyu Yici's words, Li Shimin also nodded and said: "Yes, collecting the remains of the soldiers is the most important matter for the imperial court."
As an emperor who was born in the military, Li Shimin could naturally relate to the soldiers.
He could also understand Baekje's desire to recover the remains of its soldiers.
"but……"
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Kinderman and said, "I don't understand why Silla wants to interfere with this?"
"Reply to my emperor."
“We Silla are not such ungrateful people.”
"After receiving the news from Baekje, my father also strictly prohibited any friction between various places and the Baekje army."
"In some places, our country has even sent troops to escort them to ensure their safety."
"The attack on the corpse collection team is completely false and it is purely a frame-up by others."
Kinderman cupped his hands towards Li Shimin and said, "Please my emperor, please take a closer look!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin was also a little confused.
Now he is a little confused as to who is telling the truth.
Kinderman added directly: "Your Majesty, you don't need to think about anything else. Just think about why our country has any reason to do this."
"First of all, our national strength in Silla has never recovered after the Japanese invasion."
"In the end, with the help of Datang, we managed to stabilize the domestic situation."
"And we are not fools. How could we start a war in such a difficult time?"
Kinderman also looked at Fuyu Yiji and said: "Some people want to excuse themselves from their crimes. They should find a decent reason."
Hearing this, Li Shimin also nodded.
That's right, Silla really has no reason to start another war.
And in terms of current national strength, Silla is clearly inferior to Baekje.
Unless they have a headache, they would start a war between the East and the West at this time.
But now, these two guys are talking about the public and the mother-in-law, and Li Shimin doesn't know what to do.
At the moment, he also looked at Li Chengqian who was watching the situation.
He cleared his throat and then said: "Qian'er, since you brought up this matter, I might as well ask you, what do you think about this matter?"
"Stand and watch, sit and watch, lie down and watch."
Li Chengqian shook his neck and then said: "In the final analysis, whether it is Baekje or Silla, they are all vassals of our Tang Dynasty."
"As brothers, they should not continue the war no matter what."
"No, I, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, will be the peacemaker today."
He glanced at Buyeo Yiji and said, "I will personally send someone to send the remains of your fallen soldiers back to Baekje, okay?"
Hearing this, Fuyu Yici was also stunned.
Immediately, he cupped his hands and said: "How dare you trouble His Highness with such a trivial matter..."
"Little thing?"
"Fuyu Yiji, don't make fun of me."
Li Chengqian said with obvious ulterior motives: "These are major events that triggered the national war."
Didn’t you just say that the fight was over the remains of these soldiers?
Nowadays, why do you still call it a trivial matter?
For a moment, Fuyu Yici was choked and speechless.
"Then what."
"The Baekje Army will withdraw from Silla's territory first."
"And the Silla Army is not allowed to pursue any pursuit of the Baekje Army, let alone take the opportunity to retaliate.",
Li Chengqian looked at Kinderman and said, "Do you have any objections?"
"Of course not."
How could Kinderman have any objection?
Let the other party withdraw from their own territory, this is what she wants.
If you can do all this without starting a war or causing casualties to your own soldiers, that would be great.
But Fuyu Yici was not happy.
He said directly to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, what you said seems to be helping Silla."
"Those cities and territories were bought in exchange for their lives by our soldiers, and they have now been incorporated into our country's territory."
"If we withdraw our troops and return them to Silla at this time, how will our royal court explain to those soldiers who died in battle?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian tilted his head.
He looked directly at Fuyu Yiji and said: "From what you said, it doesn't sound like Silla is attacking just to gain face."
Hearing this, Fuyu Yici was also embarrassed on the spot.
How could they start a war with Silla just to save face and seek justice?
To put it bluntly, in one sentence, they see that Silla is now weak and want to take advantage of it.
And how smart is Li Shimin?
After hearing Fuyu Yici's words, Li Shimin knew what was going on.
The slight affection I had for this guy just now was gone.
Li Shimin said directly with a cold face: "As the prince said, Silla and Baekje are like children of the Tang Dynasty and my children."
"Now that the two countries are at war, I am also heartbroken."
"The prince's decision is very good. I will issue an edict in the near future."
Li Shimin looked at Buyeo Yiji and said: "Baekje must return the occupied territory to Silla..."
