Beyond the Tang Dynasty, the Taiji Hall was regarded as the central dynasty. The Taiji Hall was fifteen rooms wide, with yellow glazed tiles on the top of the mountain, front and rear verandas, and standing on thirty-six stone steps.

Looking from below, you can see the cornices under the stone steps, and the auspicious beasts such as the fish, the pigeon, the bullfighting, the line, and the suanni at the head of the eaves. They are extremely dazzling in the dim sunlight, and also set off the supremacy of the imperial power.

This is where the emperor mainly listens to the government and watches the court. On every New Year's day (the first day of the lunar month) and Wang (the fifteenth day of the lunar month), the emperor comes to this hall to meet with the ministers, watch the court and listen to the government. Wude, the government orders since Zhenguan, are all since

This is issued.

Today, at the meeting of the imperial court, Zuo Pushe-Fang Xuanling informed the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty about the war in Songzhou and that Tibet wanted to send envoys to the court to talk earnestly and stop the troops to seek peace.

Xiao Yu, the imperial censor who had been dismissed as prime minister four times, was the first to raise his wat and leave the office. He first congratulated the emperor for his power over the world and the great victory in the southwest, and then started a long speech as before.

A general is not controlled by the sky above, not by the earth below, and not by people in the middle. Therefore, soldiers are deadly weapons; those who fight are against virtue; generals are dead officials, so they are used as a last resort. None

The sky is above, there is no earth below, there is no master behind, and there is no enemy before.

Therefore, soldiers are deadly weapons, and sages are not allowed to use them. Since Tubo is willing to send envoys to seek peace, and it shows its sincerity by offering Nang's head. Xiao Yu believes that the Celestial Dynasty should first be tolerant, be gentle to Tubo, and allow the troops to stop.

Please be kind to Qin and Jin.

As soon as Xiao Yu's argument came out, it was immediately supported by Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites, and other ministers. There is a saying in "Sima Fa": "Although the motherland is big, if it is warlike, it will perish; although the world is safe, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger."<

/p>

The purpose of war is to stop the war. It is said that fighting is to end the war with force. Since the troops on the front line have defeated the enemy, they have to spare their lives and take advantage of the situation. It is not appropriate to expand the war and waste national power.

But as soon as he spoke his peaceful tone, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Li Daliang, the right-guard general, also walked out with a wat board in his arms and stared at Xiao Yu and Wang Gui with an unkind expression.

He even snorted in a bad tone: "No fight? They said they wouldn't fight. Could it be that we, the Tang Dynasty, lost the war?"

"What's more, we also paid a heavy price! The soldiers led by Du Jing, the general of Youyi Zhonglang, sacrificed their lives on the battlefield. Did they die in vain?"

That’s it! The great dynasty was provoked by such a small country, and the lives of so many soldiers were at stake. They said they wouldn’t fight, so they just stopped fighting. What a joke!

In particular, several generals who were good friends with Du Jing, such as Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde, all looked angry and rebuked Xiao Yu and other officials who talked about peace, serving the emperor dishonestly and acting like concubines.

But Su Xu, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, stood up at this moment: "Mr. Wuyang County, I know that Du Jing is your old subordinate. He was killed in battle, and you feel uncomfortable."

"But what he did in Yan and Nuo states, wasn't it the result of your arrogance?"

"It is because of the usual arrogance of you old officers that he becomes lawless on the battlefield, kills innocent people indiscriminately, and treats the law of the country as nothing!"

"When His Majesty was the King of Qin in his early years, he promulgated military laws and informed the three armies that anyone who dared to plunder people's property, insult women, or kill innocent people indiscriminately would be killed."

Su Xu was not only familiar with the law, he was very familiar with it. As early as the Wude Year, he was a consultant to the Qin Palace to join the army, draw up lots, and was even selected into the Eighteenth Bachelor.

Military aircraft.

Regardless of the military law or laws of the Tang Dynasty, which law allowed him, Du Jing, to slaughter the families of the rebel tribes at will, privately distribute the captured wealth, and open warehouses to store grain after capturing the city?

Even if the disaster area needs to open the treasury for relief, it still needs an order from the court, and anyone who violates it will be executed immediately. No matter how special the local situation is, it is necessary to act expediently, but has he notified Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou?

None! According to national laws and military regulations, even if he is not dead and returns to the court alive, ten heads are not enough to chop him off. So what kind of credit and rewards are there to ask for, and what kind of credit can be said?

Observe military law and enforce orders and prohibitions. Why is it so difficult to implement these eight words? Why is there always post-war impeachment in every war? It is because generals like Li Daliang are not strict in their control and are too arrogant to their subordinates.

With this example in mind, Li Daliang and other generals should take warning and advise their subordinates, so that they can develop a cautious character and naturally avoid the heartache caused by this.

Li Daliang doesn't care about his title of Jingzhao Su family, Princess Nanchang's consort Prince Consort, Prince-in-law Su Dan's brother, Sima of the Palace of Wei, or Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, all these bluffing titles.

"You, Mr. Su, are you not blind! Those are all rebellious tribes. When you fight, do you talk to the rebels about military law and benevolence and righteousness?"

"I don't feel sorry for you, don't betray me. Have you read the military reports carefully? The officers killed in this battle are all young generals tempered by hundreds of battles. They are the hope of the future of the Tang Army."

"As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold is easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. With thirty-seven generals, you don't know how many more people will have to die before we can train them again?"

Great victory! Hmph! How can I say this! From a long-term perspective, the Tang Dynasty suffered a huge loss in this battle. The Tubo people could easily surrender and call it quits. They also wanted to marry a princess and the world

How can such a good thing happen!

Cheng Zhijie, who had long been unable to hold himself back, also held the wat board and said angrily to the class: "If you want to get married, fine! I heard that the daughter of Su Shilang has reached the age of Zhumei and is the daughter of Princess Nanchang.

No kiss yet."

"Since Mr. Su is so keen on marriage and loves peace, let's ask the saint to make the daughter of Mr. Su a princess and marry her to Tubo."

Cheng Zhijie is a rough person, but what he said is right. He said it is light and easy. It is not about marrying your own daughter. It won't hurt your skin. Of course you can eat the ashes of rush grass and fart light.

As for what Li Daliang said, Cheng Zhijie still said the same thing. It was not his children who died, so they naturally didn't care. If Xiao Yu, Wang Gui, and Su Xu were willing to let their sons go to the battlefield, then they would be able to

Blameless.

With a cold snort and a glare at San Guo, Cheng Zhijie left the class to lift the wat and said to the steps: "Sage, I have a few humble words, I don't know if they should be spoken."

Li Shimin was on top. He was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth when he heard that Xiao Yu and others did not take his son's sacrifice seriously. However, Cheng Zhijie's words that cut deep into his heart resonated in his heart. Yes, whose child died in the war?

No, my parents don’t feel bad.

Immediately he said: "Knowing integrity is a rough temper, but now I also know how to speak, so you can speak freely!"

Cheng Zhijie raised his scepter and admonished: "If your Majesty is not strict and resolute, and allows the young people to do whatever they want, then our country, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely be underestimated by the surrounding neighboring countries, and we may not be able to eat blood!"

No matter what, the battle is not over yet! The civil servants persuaded the emperor to call it quits. As Li Daliang said, it seemed that the Tang Dynasty had lost this battle.

If all future wars end in such an anticlimactic manner, how can we still fight them? Will the neighboring countries who are peeking at China still surrender?
