After His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, Changsun Wuji also came to his senses and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, even so, the horses, feed and rations for one hundred thousand generals are a huge expense!"
"We have just finished the battle with the East Turkistan Kitchen, and our national strength is empty. If we go out on a large scale again, I am afraid it will damage the foundation of the country!"
"I also have this worry."
Wei Zheng also nodded in agreement, with a sad look on his face.
At this point, the expedition to Tibet was basically settled.
If what Su Chen said is true, then this opportunity is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it would be a pity to miss it.
But if troops are used by force, military expenditures will be levied from the people, which will increase the burden on the people, which they do not want to see.
For a moment, he seemed to be in a dilemma.
Suddenly, His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly and said: "You don't have to worry about money. I have a good opportunity long ago!"
"Let's have news in a month!"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng looked at His Majesty Li Er in surprise.
After a while, Changsun Wuji came to his senses and asked tentatively: "Did your Majesty get another clever trick from Su Chen?
"No clever idea!"
His Majesty Li Er narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "There is a murder knife!"
hiss!
Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng both took a deep breath!
Although His Majesty could not speak clearly clearly, they could clearly feel that His Majesty had murderous intentions!
At this time, your Majesty can be allowed to say this, is it possible...
Changsun Wuji said in a panic: "Your Majesty, are you going to attack the famous family again?!"
"This must not be done. We just raised funds once not long ago. If we raise funds again, it will definitely arouse their resistance, and the consequences will be disastrous!"
Wei Zheng on the side also had a headache secretly, and this was the same thing he thought of immediately.
If you can't take money from the common people, you can only take advantage of those aristocratic families.
If things are done too badly, those aristocratic families will not let others take advantage of them. Even if His Majesty Li Er wants to force the expropriation by force, it will only be counterproductive!
Originally, His Majesty Li Er's murderous intent was strong enough. Ever since he got acquainted with this strange man like Su Chen, he brainwashed him for nothing. Now his murderous intent is even stronger. This is not a good thing!
Taking a deep breath, Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you must not be reckless in this matter!"
"Now that the Tang Dynasty has just launched a new imperial examination system, we need to wait for a few years. After a major change of officials in the court and central government, the threat to the aristocratic families will be reduced to a minimum."
"Now is not the time to fall out with them for temporary gain, otherwise the government and the opposition will be in turmoil!"
The two of them agreed that His Majesty Li Er's so-called good way to raise money and a murderous knife was to attack the aristocratic family.
But if force is really used to force the family, the whole court will be in chaos!
Because now almost 80% of the officials in the court are elected by these aristocratic families!
If they are pushed into a hurry, they might even rebel directly!
This is not a situation they want to see.
"You two are probably half right."
His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly and continued: "Don't be so nervous, you can kill with a slow knife."
"I have my own sense of discretion. This matter will only bring benefits to the Tang Dynasty without any harm. Just rest assured."
For His Majesty Li Er, isn't the glass obtained from Su Chen a good knife for killing people slowly?
He really understands how enthusiastically those aristocratic families pursue glazed treasures. If you just throw out one of those glazed objects, they will immediately flock to it!
As long as you know the right amount, you can cut leeks many times!
By going back and forth like this, the power of the family will be weakened invisibly.
For those aristocratic families, money is just a number, and they prefer to convert money into items and industries.
Every time a dynasty changes, the value of money will change, but treasures will not!
This is also an important reason why they like collecting treasures so much!
I'm afraid they never imagined that such a clear approach would push them into an abyss!
Regarding the fact that Liuli will greatly depreciate in value in the future, His Majesty Li Er decided to keep it strictly confidential!
His Majesty Li Er was not prepared to inform even Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng.
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said: "You don't need to ask any more about this matter!"
"After you go back, think carefully about what is wrong with going to Tibet.
"When you go back, think carefully about whether there is anything wrong with using troops against Tibet. The matter will be discussed in court tomorrow."
"Back off."
"Yes, I am resigning!"
Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng cupped their hands and said.
They still had a lot to say, but looking at His Majesty Li Er's look, it was obvious that he didn't want to continue listening, so they had no choice but to give up.
"Xuancheng, what did this boy Su Chen say to His Majesty?"
"His Majesty is so anxious to attack Tubo. If something goes wrong, there must be something evil!"
After leaving the imperial study room, Changsun Wuji was very puzzled.
"I can't guess what Su Chen is thinking."
Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "However, every time he talks about foolproof strategies, I hope this time will be no exception."
"Looking at His Majesty's appearance, he is already determined. Let's not say anything more."
"I wish your Majesty success."
The next day.
Tai Chi Hall, early morning.
"I have decided to set out to conquer the Tubo Empire and prepare to incorporate the Northwest Plateau into the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"
As soon as His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, the ministers in the Taiji Hall were stunned for a moment, and then exploded!
"Your Majesty! You must not do this!"
"Your Majesty! This matter is not a child's play, I hope you can take it back!"
…
For a time, the entire hall was filled with voices of opposition.
Originally, everyone was in the joy of the coming of all nations, but they didn't expect that Li Erxia would suddenly come like this, and they were frightened!
"Quiet!"
His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice.
For a moment, the hall became quiet again.
"I have received a secret report that the Tubo regime is currently in turmoil, and it is a great time to go on an expedition!"
"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has repeatedly invaded our borders with the Tang Dynasty, and the people on the border have been in dire straits for a long time!"
"This matter is like a sharp thorn that has been stuck in my chest. This is a God-given opportunity. If I don't wait now, then when?!"
After he finished speaking, the hall fell into chaos again.
However, this time it was all the generals who cheered, while the civil servants fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty, give me 200,000 troops and horses. I will immediately issue a military order and I will completely wipe out Tubo!" Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, let me go. I only want 150,000 yuan. I also issued a military order. I am willing to die to apologize for not defeating Tubo!"
