When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but frown.
It’s hard to say clearly about Qin Shihuang...
"That doesn't change the fact that he is a violent Qin!" Kong Yingda said stubbornly.
"Okay, you can be violent if you want."
Wei Shuyu said no more.
Confucianism is a staunch anti-Qin faction.
Can't be convinced...
"So what you said is wrong!"
"What else are you doing to establish a colony?"
"At that time, the people of the foreign nations will be in panic. Who will dare to surrender to me, the Tang Dynasty?"
Kong Yingda pointed at Wei Shuyu and spitted...
Wei Shuyu blinked.
Lao Kong's knowledge is good, but let's debate.
It's just like fighting against the five scum.
Wei Shuyu was too embarrassed to reply.
"Why don't you speak?"
Kong Yingda snorted arrogantly: "You have nothing to say, right?"
Turn around...
Kong Yingda bowed to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, tyranny is unjust, and benevolent government is the way to be a wise king."
Fuck your benevolent government!
What a fart in front of the massive supplies!
Li Shimin stared at Xiao Wei.
That look seemed to be saying...
Are you okay?
No, let your dad do it!
"Uncle Kong, I didn't tell you..."
Wei Shuyu sighed: "You yourself said they are foreigners, why do they want to have nothing to do with us?"
"The Tang Dynasty couldn't even take care of itself, so why would it take care of foreigners?"
"No saint is as holy as you..."
The ministers were stunned.
It really makes sense.
There are still so many poor people in the Tang Dynasty, but you are considerate of foreigners first...
Isn't this looking for scolding?
"Don't distort my meaning."
Kong Yingda sternly scolded: "I am saying...tyranny may arouse the resentment of other foreign races. If they attack in groups, how should we, the Tang Dynasty, deal with it?"
Wei Shuyu felt numb.
Is Lao Kong’s brain like Watt?
The Imperial College cooperates with Wenyun Pavilion, and Wei Shuyu really wants to save some face for Kong Yingda...
But he couldn't help it, so he hit the muzzle of the gun himself.
"Won't they turn against Ren Zheng?" Wei Shuyu sighed.
"At least we can stabilize them!" Kong Yingda replied firmly.
"The Book of Rites and the Doctrine of the Doctrine that I mentioned earlier were written by you, right?" Wei Shuyu asked.
"That's right!"
Kong Yingda puffed up his chest and looked proud.
"Then isn't there a big problem with your theory?"
Wei Shuyu asked doubtfully: "They surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and they are the ministers of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The Tang Dynasty wants to attack the enemy. It's okay if the ministers don't help, but they still want to defect?"
"Then the Tang Dynasty gave so many rewards, were they given to the ministers, or were they fed to the dogs?"
Well……
The ministers were stunned.
He couldn't help but look at Kong Yingda.
Isn't this Lao Kong usually very knowledgeable and able to argue?
How could he be dismissed so easily when he met Xiao Wei?
Think about it carefully.
The one who was criticized the most by Xiao Wei in the court was Changsun Wuji, followed by Kong Yingda.
He fought again and again and failed again and again!
Kong Yingda frowned, but still insisted on his opinion...
"Since the Tang Dynasty has swept through the nearby countries, it should adopt a gentle and conciliatory policy to show the style of a great country to prevent them from rebelling."
"In this way, we can stabilize the dominance of the Tang Dynasty!"
"fart!"
Wei Shuyu suddenly shouted: "Hegemony is achieved through strength, not through negotiation!"
Lao Kong was a nice person, but he couldn't help but hate this kind of tolerant policy!
That is a sign of cowardice!
This time, Wei Shuyu did not save any face for the other party.
Even if you are an elder, even if you cooperate with us.
But you still have to scold!
"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"
"If you feed a dog one meal, the dog will miss you for three years!"
"You fed aliens for thirty years..."
"Once the Tang Dynasty becomes weak, they will hit us when they need to fight, and rob us when they need to rob..."
"The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to bring submission to all directions was not due to your so-called benevolent governance."
"They are our heroes from the Tang Dynasty!"
"Only when we, the Tang Dynasty, become stronger will all other countries tremble at the feet of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin nodded.
This is what people say.
Without military power in hand, the emperor's position would not be secure, and he could not even talk about benevolent government.
"What I mean is that the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and it is important to convince people with virtue!"
“Benevolent government can avoid war!”
"Benevolent government can make the Tang Dynasty famous and make more countries become vassals!"
Kong Yingda said solemnly.
Wei Shuyu pointed to the outside of Tai Chi Hall: "Then you go and persuade those foreigners to surrender to the benevolence of my Tang Dynasty..."
"Do you think they listen?"
"Oh, by the way, there is also a wolf..."
"You talk to them about benevolence, do they listen?"
"After going around in a big circle, don't we have to defeat them first?"
The ministers were speechless.
This seems to be the case.
Just listen to Wei Shuyu continue to talk...
"The premise of a colony is that the two sides are inherently hostile."
"I'm going to fight!"
"Firstly, we did not destroy the country, and secondly, we did not massacre."
"Isn't it too much to collect some loot after winning a battle?"
Well said...
First, the country was not destroyed, and second, there was no massacre.
I am still the wise and mighty emperor of the ages!
Li Shimin felt enlightened.
Xiao Wei is good, he has the style of Old Wei!
"you……"
Kong Yingda pointed at Wei Shuyu and was speechless.
"do not talk."
Wei Shuyu waved his hand, really not wanting to argue any more.
But thinking that the other party was Lao Kong, he finally explained a few words to comfort him: "Uncle Kong has no problem if he wants to exercise benevolent government."
“But it also has to be practical!”
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism..."
"Because the internal affairs are stable, Confucianism can better govern the country."
"But for foreigners, unless they become vassals, their territory will be included in the Tang Dynasty, and they will become the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"Otherwise they will always be outsiders!"
"It's useless to talk to them about benevolence, justice and morality..."
"Only strong suppression can make them never rebel!"
Kong Yingda also wanted to argue a few words.
As a result, the official next to him grabbed his sleeve.
Kong Yingda hesitated and chose to retreat.
Wei Shuyu removed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and confirmed his Confucian achievements, thus saving his face.
"My dear friends, do you have any other opinions?"
After Kong Yingda was defeated, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers again.
One breath, two breaths...
Li Shimin waited for ten breaths but no one showed up.
"No one objected."
"Then the matter is settled!"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Changsun Wuji stood up...
"Your Majesty has graciously given merchants a way to connect with the government, but I think a further restraint is needed..."
"That is...only one direct descendant."
"If you have grandchildren, your sons are not allowed to participate..."
Following Changsun Wuji's advice, Li Shimin nodded noncommittally.
Wei Shuyu probably understood...
Probably just to lengthen the seniority between the two.
If there are great-grandchildren, sons and grandsons cannot participate in the imperial examination.
Must be the youngest generation.
If this policy continues, there will be no merchants in the court for at least twenty years.
"What do Shuyu think?" Li Shimin asked.
"His Majesty."
Wei Shuyu bowed and said: "Letting direct descendants of businessmen participate in the imperial examination is to encourage businessmen to work harder in business. I have no objection."
Li Shimin nodded, then looked at the ministers: "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
All the ministers bowed.
There is nothing I can do if I don’t want to, I can’t spray...
As the ministers no longer objected, the matter was settled for the time being.
After asking a few more questions about the colony, Li Shimin changed his tone...
"My beloved sir, I have something else to say."
Uh-huh.
Everyone looked at Wei Shuyu.
I saw Wei Shuyu holding the wat board, looking at his nose and heart.
Damn it!
Finally I can go to court...
