Hao Chujun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but the survivors of Goguryeo will always rebel in groups. In just a few years, the Anton Protectorate suppressed countless rebellions. The Anton Governor and Anyuan Marquis Chang Zhilei I went to the court several times to express my opinion that it wouldn’t be a big deal if things continued like this.”
Zhang Wenguan added: "Your Highness doesn't know that the Anton Protectorate is far away from our official territory of the Tang Dynasty, so supplies are difficult to deliver. In addition, the winter here is severely cold, and many of the soldiers have frostbite on their hands and feet, and are forced to have their hands and feet amputated. Therefore, After all, there are only a few people who dare to defend. Every time the army is drafted, the people complain endlessly.
There are few people and it is difficult to deliver supplies. These two items alone are the most severe test for the Anton Protectorate. If the remnants of Goguryeo continue to make troubles and use troops frequently, it will add fuel to the fire. "
Hao Chujun sighed: "The border guards in the imperial court all like to cry for poverty. Only a few such as Anyuanhou have always been submissive and rarely ask for help. Even the Hanhai Protectorate, or the Anxi Protectorate, has such a bad record. , I won’t be so concerned about it, but since the Anton Protectorate has been discounted, it means that the situation is indeed not optimistic, and we need to come up with a charter quickly."
Looking at Hao Chujun and Zhang Wenguan who were sighing, Li Xian asked confusedly: "Such a national policy should have been discussed by my father at a great meeting with civil and military officials. Why do you two come to ask this king?" ? This king has never been involved in political affairs, and you two are just playing the harp to a cow."
Zhang Wenguan said: "His Royal Highness has been known as a 'prodigy' since he was a child, especially His Majesty. When Sikong Li Ji was still alive, His Majesty once praised Li Sikong and said that your intelligence comes from your nature. Your Highness, you don't have to think too much, you just If you were faced with this problem, what kind of response would you think of? You can speak freely, but this is just our discussion, and it doesn't matter if you are wrong."
It doesn't matter if I'm wrong?
With this sentence as the foundation, Li Xian was relieved and began to think about solutions.
Goguryeo was in the position of being a stick country and a shameless country in later generations. I don’t know why. As long as a country was established there, there would always be some strange problems. For example, now, even though the political power has been dismantled and the steel knife is held to the neck, we still don't give up.
It would be fine to say that they are patriotic, but the fact is that they rebelled with the mentality of "the sky is high and the emperor is far away" and "the night is arrogant".
What's more, on the premise that the four Lelang counties were stolen from them, there is no need to put gold in their faces.
In any case, the bad nature of this nation means that they will not be content with themselves. Even if subsequent rulers treat them better than previous rulers, they will not appreciate it.
In this case....
Looking at Hao Chujun and Zhang Wenguan, Li Xian cautiously asked: "Have you two considered..."
After speaking, Li Xian raised his palm and made a flat motion on his throat.
This action is absolutely universal at all times and in all countries.
Seeing King Yong's actions, Hao Chujun and Zhang Wenguan both smiled bitterly.
I have to say that this method is the simplest one.
But hundreds of thousands of people! How did the Qin Dynasty get its reputation for tyranny? It is definitely not created by one or two things. There is no doubt that Bai Qi's beheading and entrapment of 450,000 soldiers of the Zhao army was a highlight.
To kill one or two thousand people, the Anton Protectorate did not even need to list it. Killing 10,000 or 20,000 people is just an apology.
And kill hundreds of thousands? It’s better not to joke around. Although they are all barbarians and lowly people, they are still human beings after all.
Seeing King Yong's temptation, Zhang Wenguan smiled bitterly and said: "Since Your Highness has the answer, why bother asking me and the two of you? If everything can be solved with a steel knife, civil servants like me don't have to stay up late every night and have headaches."
Hao Chujun smiled and ignored it. Judging from King Yong's hesitation, he also couldn't bear it. That's good. No matter what, whoever becomes the emperor in the future should not be too bloody.
If killing doesn't work, then you have to think of other ways.
Scratching his head, Li Xian began to recall how the Tang Dynasty dealt with Goguryeo in history.
What will happen after the annihilation of Goguryeo in the first year of the General Chapter?
Li Xian was thinking hard, while Hao Chujun and Zhang Wenguan were slowly sipping the delicious tea soup.
In fact, they already had a solution, and they came today just to see if King Yong had any other ideas.
Having been in power for a long time, they understand the importance of "braining together".
Maybe the plan they started to formulate seems to be perfect in their own eyes, but the ideas of their subordinates can often help them find and fill in the gaps and make the plan more perfect.
What's more, the two of them came to visit today just to see how talented King Yong is. Even if King Yong didn't come up with a solution, they would tell him their thoughts and explain it to him clearly.
Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, Zhang Wenguan knew exactly what he wanted to do.
At this age, King Yong has already missed too much time, so even if he has not yet become the prince, he must start to train him. Imperial academics must be taught by the emperor himself. When it comes to government affairs, the emperor cannot also be taught. Because of this, those who have always taught the princes in government affairs have always been important ministers.
After finishing a bowl of tea soup, Hao Chujun and Zhang Wenguan handed the tea bowl to Li Yun and motioned for him to refill the cup. The three of them were careful not to disturb King Yong's thinking.
Is Li Xian thinking?
Yes, he was indeed thinking, but what he was thinking about was not how to solve the Goguryeo issue, but whether he should express his thoughts.
Wouldn't it be too arrogant for a prince who has never been involved in government affairs to quickly come up with solutions when faced with difficult problems?
However, after thinking about Zhang Wenguan's words and what the emperor had said, Li Xian made up his mind.
It is you who say that I am a child prodigy, and it is the emperor who says that I am naturally intelligent. In that case, I will grant your wish!
Taking a long breath, Li Xian looked at Zhang Wenguan and Hao Chujun.
Seeing King Yong's reaction, they both looked over expectantly.
No matter what the idea is, as long as it is there, it is good, which shows that King Yong has really thought about it.
Just when Zhang Wenguan and Hao Chujun were ready to listen to King Yong's immature thoughts and secretly enjoy themselves, Li Xian spoke:
"You two, before I tell you what I think, I would like to ask you, who are the foreign races that have invaded the Central Plains and integrated into the Central Plains since history?"
Don't answer the question?
Zhang Wenguan was just surprised and began to organize the answer to this question.
They are all well-read people. Perhaps they are not as stubborn as the historians and the officials in the Ministry of Rites when it comes to reading history books, but there is still no problem in answering this question.
