We didn't say anything or do anything. When did we provoke this Tyrannosaurus rex?
You have to be reasonable...
At this time, Liu Jie's voice sounded: "At present, conquering Goguryeo is the top priority. Hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting for the attack, and tens of millions of grain and grain are gathered in the camp. The people in the country are eagerly looking forward to it. The arrow is already on the string and has to be launched. Yi Nan Yin
Cunning, to take advantage of the situation, why not implement a delaying strategy, temporarily agree to his terms of peace, sign a non-infringement agreement, and order him to prepare cattle and sheep as betrothal gifts after the spring begins, and wait until our Tang Dynasty sweeps the entire territory of Goguryeo and decides in one fell swoop,
Find another excuse to tear up the contract and teach Xue Yantuo a lesson?"
When Fang Jun heard this, he said, "Oh, that's what His Majesty Li Er did in history. On the one hand, he promised to marry off the emerging princess and stabilized Yi Nan. On the other hand, he aggressively attacked Goguryeo. After failing to conquer the entire territory of Goguryeo, he decisively withdrew his troops.
He tore up the contract with Yi Nan and acted rogue...
In fact, there are twists and turns.
His Majesty Li Er wanted to break the contract, but he felt a little embarrassed. How could he be the Khan of Heaven if his words were not kept? So he asked Yi Nan to rush to Lingzhou in person to meet the bride. He was sure that Yi Nan, as the Khan of Xue Yantuo, would definitely refuse to marry him.
In a dangerous place, what if the Tang Dynasty sends troops to kill him?
As a result, Yi Nan actually came...
This shows how determined Yi Nan was in seeking to marry the Princess of Tang Dynasty.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was two heads tall. No matter how shameless he was, he could not say any regrets, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.
However, Yi Nan was unlucky. Although he rushed to Lingzhou in person, most of the 100,000 livestock he had agreed with in the Tang Dynasty died due to the hot weather and lack of water and fodder. The news reached Chang'an, and Li Er
Your Majesty was almost overjoyed. The bride price is not enough, and you still want to marry my daughter? Just dream about it?
So he confidently tore up the contract, and Yi Nan himself felt wronged. He could only return to the Khan's tent in Dujin Mountain with his head downcast...
Hearing that Liu Ji had come up with such an idea, the ministers were in a dilemma and considering countermeasures. Even though many people expressed support.
His Majesty Li Er felt that this idea was not very good, but he had no good plan at the moment, so he had to say: "I have been ordered by heaven and am the master of the world. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to go back on my word and go back on my word."
This Majesty cherishes his reputation the most, and he is really unwilling to do such things as breaking his promise and getting rich...
Liu Jie, a clinker, had already made a plan: "Isn't your majesty going to renege on your promise? I will just order Yi Nan to come to Datang in person to welcome the bride. Even if he doesn't come to Chang'an, he will at least go to Lingzhou. Yi Nan will definitely not dare to come, but there is no way in the world.
Why didn't the groom come to propose marriage in person? His Majesty could then justifiably reject the marriage. Yi men are stubborn and violent by nature, and if the Tang Dynasty did not marry them, their appeal would naturally weaken, and the tribesmen would have second thoughts. Moreover,
I boldly estimate that Yi Nan is already old and does not have a few more years to live. As long as he dies and his two sons compete for the throne, the country will be in chaos, and your Majesty will be able to sit down and control it!"
Fang Jun immediately looked at Liu Ji with admiration. It turned out that it was Liu Ji who came up with this idea for His Majesty Li Er!
I just don’t know, when Yi Nan braves the danger and rushes to Lingzhou in person, will Liu Jie, the one who came up with the idea, scold His Majesty for his stupidity?
Hehe, it’s interesting to watch history repeat itself in front of you...
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and felt a little moved.
The ministers all agreed, after all, this was a good idea. Although it was a bit dirty and lost the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, in the end, it was standing on the commanding heights of morality, and it was justified!
But he saw Chu Suiliang standing up abruptly, bowing his head to the ground in front of His Majesty Li Er, with a righteous and impassioned expression on his face: "Your Majesty is the king of a country and the co-ruler of the world. You should hold the Constitution of Heaven in your mouth, and you are so majestic! The Son of Heaven is so majestic! Since you have already promised to marry, you should not have any intention of advancing or retreating, or have any intention of repenting. This is really a very little consideration, and you will lose a lot. Your Majesty's power will be damaged. The other country is angry at seeing the bully, and this people is carrying a burden. It’s shameful to make an appointment, and when dissatisfaction arises, it will inevitably lead to border troubles!”
Huangmen Shilang has the responsibility of discussing politics, but Chu Suiliang has never been enthusiastic about political affairs and rarely expresses his opinions. He seems to give people the impression that he is just a calligrapher with excellent writing. But at this moment, he is strong and upright, and he is so upright and impressive. There is a trace of Wei Zheng's legacy in the trance...
Before the ministers could recover from the change in his image, he continued: "Your Majesty has ruled the world for more than ten years. He has united the common people with kindness and kindness, and pacified the Rong and barbarians with faith. The world is happy. It's a pity why it can't have a beginning and an end. What's more, there are countless Yi and Di tribes in Mobei. How can the Tang Dynasty punish them all? I believe that we should cherish them with virtue, so that those who do evil are in the barbarians but not in China, and those who are dishonest are here but not here!"
The whole hall of ministers and the first emperor were immersed in Chu Suiliang's impassioned speech, feeling the righteousness of the world and the righteousness of the world. However, when it came to the last few sentences, everyone almost jumped... This special So after all is said and done, don't you just agree with marriage and don't engage in those crooked ways?
There was an uproar in the political hall.
Since ancient times, who would be willing to use their own women to make peace with barbarians unless they had no choice but to suffer the stench and endless humiliation? The civil and military ministers above the Tang Dynasty were all killed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, regardless of their stance. , there is a sense of arrogance in his bones, and he never regards those barbarians as human beings!
Even the "Zhenguan Law" has a clause that "Han people are not allowed to marry barbarians"...
In the past, when Jieli Khan arrived at the Weishui River with troops approaching the city, and the Tibetan soldiers came to the border with the intention of invading the border, the Tang Dynasty could not think about it for a moment. Maybe it pinched its nose and accepted the marriage. It was a shame and humiliation that was remembered in the heart, and it would be repaid a hundred times in the future. !
But nowadays, when the Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and millions of soldiers, who would be willing to get married?
Above the ancient history, that is an inescapable shame!
The ministers looked at Chu Suiliang with contempt one after another. This man was very knowledgeable and could write very well, but he didn't know whether he was stupid in reading, lacked any nerve in his mind, and was extremely pedantic...
Chu Suiliang saw that his impassioned speech, which he had been preparing for a long time, did not receive the approval he expected, but instead received countless disdain and scorn. He felt blocked and a little disappointed, but he did not take it seriously.
You murderers know how to win meritorious deeds by fighting and killing, but have you ever thought that soldiers are the most important thing for the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. No matter how big the country is, if it is warlike, it will perish!
He took a step forward and said loudly: "You can't play with your soldiers. If you play with them, there will be no power. You can't destroy your soldiers. If you destroy them, you will call the bandits. In the past, King Wu Fu Chai was warlike and died. King Xu Yan was also destroyed without weapons. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty ruled the country. The superiors do not play with soldiers, and the subordinates do not waste force. "Book of Changes" says: Survive without forgetting death, so that you can be safe and the country can be protected! Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty only needs to cultivate sharp weapons and spears, and appease the barbarians with benevolence and love. The name of righteousness lies in I am in an invincible position, and I must not start a war or give others a reason!"
The country must have armaments, otherwise there is a risk of national subjugation. However, frequent wars will not only damage the country and cause the treasury to be empty, but also make the generals take advantage of the situation to become stronger. At that time, the external force will be strong, and the weak branch will strengthen the branch. This is also the way to subjugate the country!
It is clear that sending a woman can eliminate this difficult battle, so why do we have to face the difficulties and take the dangerous road?
It's extremely unwise...
Your Majesty Li Er looked gloomy and felt very angry.
He sneered at the truth contained in Chu Suiliang's impassioned speech.
The Hu people are afraid of power but not virtuous, so you actually asked me to "appease them with benevolence and love"? Do you think that if you carry a piece of meat into the mountains, tigers and wild wolves will stop biting you? You are simply naive and childish! If you want to overwhelm the Hu people, be benevolent and righteous.
Morality is completely useless, only killing and suppression can tame it!
Chu Suiliang's remarks are simply the arrogant talk among scholars.
What made him even more annoyed was that Chu Suiliang actually persuaded him to agree to a marriage?
Mother!
Do you think that under such circumstances, I don’t know how to give up a princess in exchange for time?
Nothing will be allowed to hinder his progress in conquering Goguryeo and moving towards the great goal of "one emperor through the ages"!
This is a national policy!
However, on the wall of my palace, there is a picture of "no marriage" hanging on it, facing each other day and night, reciting it day and night. If I agree to the marriage now, how can I sleep peacefully with anger in my heart? Let alone because of this picture.
I am supported and respected by the people of the world, but now I am going in the opposite direction. How will the people of the world be disappointed and laugh at me?
I was so kidnapped by that calligraphy!
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun angrily, pointed his finger at him, and said calmly: "What is Mr. Fang's opinion on this matter?"
It's all because of you, the bastard, otherwise why would you be in such a dilemma?
