Chapter Seventy-Eight: It's You Who Smashed
Li Shimin's heart shook inexplicably, he looked at Qin Shou with a stunned look in his eyes, and he was full of emotion in his heart.
Qin Shou said it well, and the scolding was also good, which is alarming!
"The family and the country are all over the world, whether it is the people or the royal family, if you can't even keep a complete home, how can you talk about the country?"
"In the future, if we have a kiss in Datang again, let those who advise send their wives and children, make their daughters princesses, give them titles, and let them go to kiss, do you think they will do it?"
Qin Shou is still unrelenting, biting and not letting go.
Li Shimin said bitterly: "Come, drink one, it's a good story....... Well said! β
Yes?
Li Chengqian raised his head in shock, looked at his father, and then at Qin Shou, his eyes were about to pop out.
The whole person was completely confused.
Father, he scolded you so badly, you still said yes?
This.......
"If anyone mentions peace again in the future, I will be the first to refuse." Li Shimin said with emotion.
It's a pity that he knew this truth too late, thinking of his daughter who was married, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and his eyes were hazy.
Heaven and earth, how are they doing?
As a father, can I see each other again in this life?
But Qin Shou looked at Li Shimin with a concerned face: "Father-in-law, you can't drink enough today, just drink so much and get numb?" Let's drink less in a while! β
He was a little worried that his father-in-law had a bad heart, so he should drink less.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin filled a glass again, "Absolutely not drunk, look how stable this wine is!" β
"......." Qin Shou was speechless.
It's all starting to talk nonsense, not numb yet?
Do you have the final say if you are close or not? If you don't agree to be the first one, why is your face so big?
After not eating a few bites of the dish, Li Shimin saw an opportunity and asked: "Shou'er, why did you say that the envoys of Goguryeo came to our Tang Dynasty to perform such a play?" Could it be that there is a purpose behind this? β
"Ah, father-in-law, it's amazing, your brain is bright enough." Qin Shou gave Li Shimin a thumbs up and praised.
This made Li Shimin blush.
Qin Shou scratched his head, recalled the timeline of Goguryeo in history, and said: "They must have ulterior motives when they came, let's also show up about the Weishui Alliance." β
β......β
Li Shimin's face turned purple.
Who are you doing over and over again?
Qin Shou continued: "There is a saying: the emperor ordered the Turkic Jieli Khan to dance, and ordered the Nanban chieftain Feng Zhi to wear a poem, and said with a smile: "The Hu and Yue families have never been seen since ancient times!" β
"Why did Your Majesty let the Turkic Khan dance in public, it is a great humiliation for him."
"And if it's just the defeated side, either cut the grass and eradicate the roots, or imprison him, and don't see the light of day, but for Jieli Khan, why would Your Majesty do this?"
"Speaking of which, the only thing that can make His Majesty nostalgic is the Weishui Alliance that happened when he first ascended the throne."
"Pouting and pouting, you can also think that the Turks will not send thousands of horses and sheep to the Tang Dynasty in vain, and then lead their own 200,000 troops to return in a huff?"
"Then, it can be concluded that Your Majesty must have suffered a great humiliation, but the signing of the Weishui Alliance actually avoided the Tang Dynasty's combat under unfavorable conditions, thus consolidating the foundation of the Tang Dynasty."
"Since then, we in the Tang Dynasty have more time to develop the economy and accumulate strength, which is also an important turning point for the Tang Dynasty to become strong."
"From the point of view of the time, it was a disgrace, and from a long-term point of view, it is not a good thing to choose to forgive for a moment in exchange for permanent peace."
"Your Majesty remembered the original shame, inspired his own development, recuperated his energy, tried his courage, took the opportunity to attack when natural disasters and civil strife occurred in the Eastern Turks, and destroyed the Eastern Turkic Khanate by the situation, so that the reparations obtained by the Turks for provoking the Tang Dynasty were all returned."
"As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, development is the last word, and the final victory by virtue of strength is the biggest winner."
"Now that I think about it the other way, why did Goguryeo come to sign an alliance with my Datang, did it also have a similar idea?"
"Are they also holding back some big moves or muffling big developments?"
Qin Shou said indifferently: "Don't underestimate the influence of a person, think about it again, after Princess Wencheng married to Tubo, how did Tubo develop?" β
Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and the light in his eyes lit up.
After Princess Wencheng married Tubo, she brought grain seeds and rapeseed from the Central Plains, as well as some skilled craftsmen and various technicians.
Today, it is said that some grains and vegetables have begun to adapt to the water and soil of the plateau.
In addition, Princess Wencheng also popularized some production technology and medical knowledge, and promoted the production development and technological progress of Tibet.
The close contacts between the two countries and the long-term peace and stability have also promoted the prosperity of trade and economic development between the two sides.
The population and livestock of Tibet have indeed increased a lot, and the national strength and military strength have naturally increased a lot.
If you think about it this way....... It's scary to think about!
Qin Shou looked at his father-in-law's frowning brows, and said with a smile, "Right? They are digging into the corner of our Datang! β
"Shhh
Li Shimin fell into extreme shock and contemplation.
Goguryeo has always been a strong expansionist state, constantly gaining territory through foreign wars. The former Sui conquered several times but failed, which shows the strength of Goguryeo's national strength.
I heard that Goguryeo united with Silla Baekje and was still at odds with the Wa Kingdom, and if Goguryeo reached an alliance, it would be equivalent to a direct loss of control over the surrounding situation for the Central Plains Dynasty.
After figuring it out, Li Shimin couldn't sit still any longer.
"Shou, I really feel like I've drunk too much today, so let's be here today!"
"Father-in-law, are you leaving? Why don't you have to finish your meal before leaving? β
"No, I feel a little uncomfortable, I'll go back early today!"
Hey, wasn't it okay just now?
Although surprised, Qin Shou still said with concern: "That's okay, your body is important, since you are not feeling well, go back to rest early." β
Before leaving
Qin Shou stopped Li Chengqian, "Uncle, come often in the future, what's that...... If you have spare money in hand, will you buy your own business? β
Li Chengqian: "......"
......
Li Shimin once again summoned the ministers and hundreds of officials
The atmosphere in the Taiji Hall was solemn, filled with a silent solemnity.
The ministers and hundreds of officials, one by one, sank like water.
From time to time, he glanced at Li Shimin who was sitting on the dragon chair.
The ministers beat the drum in their hearts, so solemn, what does Your Majesty mean by this?
Especially the civil ministers and officials, their eyes flickered at this time, and the military attachΓ©s had black faces one by one, because they were aggrieved in their hearts.
Fang Xuanling's face was calm, his eyes were squinted, and he stood at the front.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yanjin and others also bowed their heads and remained silent.
At this time, Goguryeo's envoy Quan Ye also brought it up, looking at the scene, he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, it seems that he is going to promise himself?
Speaking of which, thanks to these officials, he looked up at the civil officials and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and couldn't help shaking his head.
I can't help but feel the pride in my heart.
What's wrong with Datang, the state of etiquette is nothing more than that.
Quan Ye saluted and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, can you accept our proposal?" β
As soon as the words fell, several Wenchen stood up.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can retreat twenty miles......"
"Demolishing the Han people's view of Beijing and replacing the Han people with their return, this is the glory of the Tang Dynasty......"
However, before his words were finished, Li Shimin suddenly got up, grabbed something from the case and threw it out.
"Did I let you speak? Do you still think? β
"Do you think you're right?"
"Retreat, how do you tell me to retreat? Where to retreat? β
"The glory of Datang, you are also worthy of talking about the glory of Datang? Dog Day stuff ........"
Suddenly, the entire hall exploded!
They couldn't believe it, they thought they were hallucinating.
Is this Your Majesty? Your Majesty just burst into foul language above the court? So vulgar, like scolding the street?
This.......
Everyone was completely confused, and even many people looked at Wei Zheng with their eyes, which meant: "You are a doctor, speaking out, and promoting the royal road, Your Majesty, don't you care about this?" β
Clinker, Wei Zheng was tilting his head at this time, with a look of attitude that he didn't care about himself, if he looked carefully, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes!
Even Fang Xuanling was stupid, he didn't feel it at all, his head was already bleeding.
The thing His Majesty threw out just now didn't hit the few people who gave advice, but it hit him on the head.
And Li Shimin's gaze happened to glance at Fang Xuanling faintly.
Did you just smash it off?
No!
His target was not Yanguan, but Fang Xuanling.
