Chapter 61 Courageous words!
Chapter 61: A heroic word!
"If everything is as you said, and you use violent means such as war to resolve disputes, how can there be real peace in this world?"
"I, the wise and wisest emperor of the Tang Dynasty, have transformed the surrounding enemy countries into the country of our Tang Dynasty's in-laws by marriage several times. Is this wrong?"
"It's just a marriage, what's the loss?
But it can save a war!”
Changsun Chong spoke at this time.
He was dissatisfied with Xu Tian just now, but Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Li Ji kept asking Xu Tian for his opinion, but he couldn't speak at all.
Now that I found an opportunity, I expressed my own point of view, and I had contempt in my eyes, thinking that Xu Tian's point of view was too extreme and not as wise as his point of view.
Marriage!
Only then did Li Shimin think about marriage. Tubo, Ola and other surrounding small countries had been married to the Tang Dynasty, and even the Turks had once.
Of course, the princesses who participated in the marriage were all recognized by Li Shimin and were not biological children. This can be said to be a good solution to resolve the dispute between the two countries at the lowest cost.
"Haha! Brother Zhang, what you said is extremely wrong. When did my Tang Dynasty fall to the point where I want to sell my daughter for peace?"
"To put it bluntly, would you like to marry a Turkic daughter?
No, you don’t have a daughter yet. What if it’s your sister, what about your sister?”
"Old Li, Lao Fang, father-in-law, think about whether what I said is the reason. Is the peace exchanged for peace with marriage? Is that peace?"
"If I were a Turkic person and could marry a princess from the Tang Dynasty for the first time, and then I would marry a princess from the Tang Dynasty for generations, then where will our Tang Dynasty become?
Brothels or is it the emperor of our Tang Dynasty a human being?”
Xu Tian said with a sneer.
Human teeth are human traffickers in ancient times.
hiss!
Li Changle stood aside and gasped in fear. His husband actually said that he was a human torture in front of his father, and compared the Tang Dynasty to a brothel, which was enough to cut his head ten times.
Li Ji and Fang Xuanling were also stunned, fearing that Li Shimin would be furious, so he pulled Xu Tian out and executed Lingchi.
Li Shimin lowered his head and frowned. After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Son-in-law, I think what you said makes sense for your father!"
this!
Your Majesty was scolded and actually thought what Xu Tian said was reasonable!
Changsun Chong, who was beside him, couldn't help but say coldly: "Hmph! Xu Tian, you dare to say that the emperor is a human tooth. What do you know?
Do you know what the two countries are competing?”
"Do you know what it is for a great country?
You pay attention to war in everything, so where are the people of my Tang Dynasty?”
Xu Tian was not angry when he heard what Changsun Chong said. He first picked up a piece of fish for Li Shimin, and then said: "The spirit of a great country is not the way he was when marrying a daughter!"
"When friends come, they will have good wine, and when enemies come, they will have their blades!"
"Faced with weak and friendly countries, we treat each other with courtesy, and face malicious jackals, tigers and leopards, we also have to hit the head-on!"
"That's the reason for being able to punch one punch, so that you won't get a hundred punches!"
"If you don't marry, don't pay tribute, the emperor will guard the country's borders, and the king will die in the country. This is what my Tang Dynasty royal family should be."
After Xu Tian said that, Li Shimin, Li Ji and Fang Xuanling all showed excitement in their eyes, especially Li Shimin and Li Ji, murmured.
"You can punch one punch so that you won't get a hundred punches! This sentence is so good. If you defeat the enemy, you will not dare to come if you are afraid of it. If you are married, what's the matter? If they are not afraid of us, they will dare to continue to cause trouble for us!"
Li Ji said excitedly.
"If you don't marry, you won't pay tribute, the emperor will guard the country's borders, and the king will die in the country. This has come to my heart, and I will never marry you again in the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin slapped the table and said in a deep voice.
He decided to make this sentence the foundation of the founding of the Tang Dynasty after he returned. Any official dared to mention marriage, and he would be killed without mercy!
All of my sons were sent to the border to experience the situation and guard the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future!
Scream!
Xu Tian took another sip of wine and said, "Father-in-law, you guys are eating vegetables. The West Lake vinegar fish I made is not ordinary delicious!"
"Haha! Yes, this West Lake vinegar fish smells very good. I also taste the skills of a virtuous son-in-law for my father."
Li Shimin said with a smile.
He picked up the fish meat and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, the sweet and sour taste filled his mouth, constantly rinsing Li Shimin's taste buds.
The sour taste can greatly boost appetite. Li Shimin only felt that the saliva in his mouth was much more, so he swallowed the fish in one bite, and even smashed his mouth a few times without forgetting to finish the taste.
"This! Why does the West Lake vinegar fish taste sweet and sour?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Father-in-law, the main seasonings of West Lake vinegar fish are vinegar and sugar, so they have a sweet and sour taste."
Xu Tian explained.
"Vinegar and sugar, plus salt, this! The taste is so weird, how did you think of putting three such seasonings together?"
Li Shimin asked.
During the Tang Dynasty, people used soy soup to cook, so there was only salty taste and there was no other taste. Xu Tian's West Lake vinegar fish dish completely subverted Li Shimin's perception.
"Haha! Father-in-law, the times are progressing, and people's age is growing. Have you ever seen anyone retreating?
From now on, many things that were not before will appear in the world."
Xu Tian said with a smile.
yes!
The times are progressing, and many new things will appear in the world.
"Son-in-law, what you said today has given you a lot of inspiration for your father. Come and give you a cup of honor for your father!"
After Li Shimin said that, he raised his glass and wanted to toast Xu Tian.
Li Ji and Fang Xuanling were shocked. This was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he actually toasted a young man!
When Changsun Chong saw this, he felt even more dissatisfied. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the gaze that Li Ji cast, and he was so scared that he shrank back.
Xu Tian picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you are so kind. My salt shop will open tomorrow. My father-in-law might as well go with me and cut the ribbon for my shop."
“Cutting the ribbon?
What is that?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Cutting ribbons is a way to celebrate when the store opens, and to get a good start."
Xu Tian said.
"Haha! OK! Interesting, I will go with you tomorrow for my father!"
Li Shimin said with a smile.
Early the next morning, Li Shimin got up and packed everything. However, Xu Tian was still lying on the bed and slept soundly until noon, and Xu Tian got up slowly.
"Son-in-law, do you sleep so late every day before you get up?"
Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
The ancients paid the most attention to diligence, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
