If just now, Li Chengqian still wanted to save face for the other party.
So when the other party said those words that were almost seeking death, he really didn't want to save any face for the other party.
He had spoken about this issue in court before.
He also emphasized the importance of northern people migrating southward more than once.
But among these people, there are just some guys who feel like their heads have been kicked by donkeys, always jumping out and talking nonsense.
"The reason why you said that."
"It's just because it was not your son who died on the battlefield."
"If so, how could you say such shameless words?"
Li Chengqian sneered and said: "I just want to ask you, do you know how many sons of the Tang Dynasty have sacrificed on the battlefield in the past few decades?"
"this……"
The minister surnamed Wang was also speechless on the spot.
How does he know about this problem?
He is not engaged in united front work, let alone logistics.
But Li Chengqian didn't need him to answer, and said directly: "I may not know anything else."
"But I know that in the past ten years alone, nearly 280,000 of our brothers in the Tang Dynasty have died in foreign lands."
"Two hundred and eighty thousand, do you know what it means?"
Li Chengqian looked at the other party and said, "A whole city is gone."
"They can never go back to their hometown, never see their loved ones again."
"You can't see your wife, you can't see your children, you are buried under that cold soil. Do you know what it feels like?"
Li Chengqian sneered and shook his head: "Send troops to attack. You said these four words lightly."
"But in the end, do you know how many people have to bleed and sacrifice for this?"
"Of course, I'm not denying you."
"Don't you want to fight? You can."
"Let your son serve as a soldier for me and fight the enemy face to face."
"Otherwise, you motherfucker, just shut up that stinky mouth of yours!"
Li Chengqian was also so angry that he cursed in the court.
But how can you say such a curse word, especially under such circumstances, how many people still remember that he cursed?
At this moment, Li Chengqian also said directly: "I know, you think you are superior to others."
"You think you are great and noble."
"And the barbarians are inferior. It is an insult to you to stand with them."
"But I also hope you will think carefully about where your nobility comes from and where your sense of superiority comes from."
"If it weren't for the thousands of soldiers fighting with the enemy at the border, you would have had your hair grabbed and your heads chopped off."
"Can I still tolerate you, talking about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but keeping silent about morality?"
Li Chengqian raised his head and said: "In a word, the lives of soldiers are used to defend the country, not sacrificed in vain."
And after hearing what he said, Li Shimin also thought of the brothers who had followed him to fight in all directions.
Once upon a time, the Liangzhou Army was his direct army.
He had also seen with his own eyes the vivid lives falling in front of him.
No one in this world wants to fight.
If there was a peaceful life, who would be willing to put their head in their belt and fight for their lives?
Including Li Chengqian, he didn't want to fight either.
He also wanted to take a rest as soon as possible and accompany his wife to go sightseeing at home as soon as possible.
But with powerful enemies surrounding him outside and chaos inside, what can he do?
He could only abandon all distracting thoughts and concentrate on seeking peace for the Tang Dynasty and the people.
After he finished speaking, the young generals also stood up and expressed their opinions.
"Your Majesty, I feel that His Highness the Crown Prince's words are very true."
Gao Zhixing was the first to stand up and said: "Although we build our country by force, we do not bully the weak."
"And if things can be solved with gentle means, don't talk about using force."
"Now, people are taking the initiative to seek refuge and ask to become my subjects of the Tang Dynasty."
"Then as the Kingdom of God, we must show our openness to accept all those who have good intentions towards our Tang Dynasty."
After he finished speaking, Li Chongyi also stepped forward and said, "I also feel that what His Highness the Crown Prince said is true."
"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about this expedition to Goguryeo."
"Our Tang army has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 10,000 of them were former residents of the Northern Desert."
"But after His Majesty gave the order, they all stepped onto the battlefield without hesitation, risking their lives to fight the enemy without taking a step back."
"I think, if they are all like this, then the rest of them can hardly be too bad."
"As long as we show our sincerity, we will definitely get their desperate response."
These two people can be called Li Chengqian's right-hand men in the court.
When the two of them spoke, they almost represented the entire Prince Group.
And just when Li Shimin wanted to speak.
Wei Zheng, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "Indeed, the previous policy of northerners migrating southward was considered a success."
"But who can guarantee that it will be successful every time?"
"Who can guarantee that those Northern Desert barbarians who migrated south will have goodwill toward our country, the Tang Dynasty? Maybe it's okay, but what if not?"
"And this matter has not happened yet, so we can put it aside and just talk about what happened last time."
"You know, when the northerners moved southward last time, there were a lot of troubles."
"The tenant farmers themselves cannot afford enough food, but they still have to allocate their limited fields to the barbarians in the Northern Desert, causing widespread resentment among the people."
Wei Zhengzhi said: "If we do something like this again this time, I'm afraid the people will cause even greater trouble, right?"
After hearing this, everyone in the audience fell into deep thought.
The Tang Dynasty is still an agricultural country after all.
If people in agricultural countries want to survive, they must mainly farm.
But the number of fields is limited after all.
Even now, the imperial court has promulgated a land management decree and handed over the land to the state for unified allocation.
Everyone likes addition, who likes subtraction?
Once the northerners settle in, it will inevitably dilute the land currently in the hands of the people.
Who can do this?
But after hearing these words, Li Chengqian laughed out loud.
He said directly: "Master Wei, what you said really made me laugh."
Hearing this, Wei Zheng's figure suddenly shook.
Then, he looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
"Means nothing."
"I just feel that what you, Mr. Wei, said is not true."
Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "Indeed, the last time we northerners moved south, we caused a lot of trouble."
"But if I remember correctly, our land had not been uniformly allocated by the state at that time."
"The reason for the trouble was also caused by the refusal of some landowners to hand over their fields."
"Today, the fields are all allocated by the state, and there is still a lot of uncultivated land, which is enough for the people of the Tang Dynasty to cultivate."
"Even if the wanderers from the Northern Desert come to our Datang, the things you mentioned will not happen."
"But if someone brings this matter up, unless it is..."
Li Chengqian tilted his head and squinted his eyes, looking at Wei Zheng and said: "Someone has private land that is not included in the files. They are afraid that when the court allows the reclamation, the matter will be exposed..."
