Wang Jishan obviously won't settle the account for a while, and the emperor's question needs to be answered as soon as possible. So everyone took a deep breath to collect their minds and organize their thoughts.

Unlike others who had to think about it for a while, Wang Xiaojie got up again and took the lead in speaking: "The ministers are new to the court, if it is another issue, I dare not compete to speak before the ministers." However, if you monograph on this matter cited by Daxingtai, it happens to be involved recently, and you have the courage to speak in advance to send everyone to think deeply. ”

"Then please ask Wang Shangshu to try it."

When Li Dan heard this, he immediately showed great interest.

Among the prime ministers in the hall, he has a particularly good attitude towards Wang Xiaojie, second only to his old friend Xue Ji. This is because in the emperor's heart, he regards Wang Xiaojie as a kind of acquaintance. The other prime ministers are either listed as ministers as the trend of the times, or there is no one in the political hall and temporarily fills the position.

As for Wang Xiaojie, although he started in the martial anniversary, he worshiped the prime minister because of his merits when he recovered the four towns of Anxi. But at that time, he was just taking his position from afar and not exercising his power, and now he can return to the court to worship the prime minister again, which is the result of Li Danli's rejection of public opinion. Moreover, Wang Xiaojie is straightforward and simple-minded, and communicating with others is not like facing people such as Di Renjie, which makes Li Dan feel tired subconsciously.

Therefore, in his heart, he had no shortage of expectations for Wang Xiaojie, and at the beginning of his return to the dynasty, he entrusted him with the great task of inspecting and expanding military households and reorganizing the forbidden army.

Wang Xiaojie has been busy with this before, and he has not been involved much in other court affairs, and now he dares to use it as a speech to express his position on such a complex and profound issue, which also makes Li Dan quite gratified.

"The western Sichuan realms cited by the Daxingtai Concert Column, although their borders are mostly involved in the border barbarian townships, have had a lot to do with our China since ancient times, as far as the Qin and Han dynasties ......"

Wang Xiaojie opened his mouth to talk eloquently, and there was no shortage of quotations. Seeing that he was so eloquent, everyone present was a little surprised, this is very different from the image of Wang Xiaojie that they usually know, although Wang Xiaojie can not be said to be illiterate, but the military background is inevitably unliterate, but now he can quote the classics, and he is really impressive.

This is not a strange thing, as Wang Xiaojie said, he happened to be involved in such issues during this time. If he is responsible for rectifying military affairs, he naturally needs to contact and read a large number of relevant classics preserved by the Ministry of War, and the information about the state capital of Zhujing is of course among them.

Now in the face of such a problem, it is natural to learn and sell now, and quote scriptures to argue that the realm of western Sichuan has not been a flying soil since ancient times, but a Chinese barrier.

But although Wang Xiaojie said a lot, he seems to have misunderstood the point. Whether or not Western Sichuan belongs to the Tang Dynasty naturally does not need to be discussed in depth. The key point that needs to be discussed is, what is the intention of Daxingtai to raise such a question, and how should the imperial court respond to this? Moreover, it is also mentioned in the book that Tubo actually crossed the court to make his princess and the prince of Yong, should the court reprimand King Yong about this?

But as soon as Wang Xiaojie opened his mouth, he talked endlessly, so that people had no chance to interrupt at all, and had to be forced to take a history lesson for nearly half an hour.

After talking so much in one breath, Wang Xiaojie also has the feeling of being hollowed out. Fortunately, he is the leading young Zhuang faction in the political hall today, otherwise it would be a little unbearable to breathe for such a long time.

After returning to the capital, although Wang Xiaojie was immersed in military affairs and had little contact with other personnel, he also understood that his return to the capital to pay homage to the prime minister made many courtiers resentful, and there was no lack of contempt for him. This time, he was finally able to grasp an issue that he could discuss a lot, so he naturally tried his best to change the impression and opinion of others.

Therefore, he apologized for the time being, and after returning to the table to drink tea to moisten his throat, he waited to get up and continue to speak.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but be surprised, and Xue Ji, the servant of the door, got up hurriedly and said: "Wang Shangshu quotes ancient and modern, with profound insights, which makes people learn a lot. The ministers in the hall must also have their own opinions, and the public listens to them and listens to them, without losing their plans. ”

was stopped by Xue Ji, Wang Xiaojie's thoughts were confused at first, and after a while, he said a little strangely: "The minister has just quoted a lot, and what he said is nothing more than a fact. I have it in ancient times in western Sichuan, there is no need to question this matter, how can I allow the invasion and occupation of the country of Tibet, even if it is just words! If this is the case, what more can we say? ”

Seeing Wang Xiaojie's blank eyes, Li Dan turned from the initial expectation to a faint disappointment, but he still patiently explained: "This matter is indeed not suspicious, but the people of Tibet are doing such offensive words and deeds at this time, how to deal with it, we need to deeply combine the situation of the court and the internal and external people's feelings, and discuss a proper plan!" ”

Speaking of this, it is even less of a problem for Wang Xiaojie, since the country dares to offend, then do it directly! But although he has a straightforward personality and is informal, he is not completely blind, and he still has to get a glimpse of the king's face and mood.

At this time, seeing that His Majesty the Emperor frowned and his tone was serious and low, Wang Xiaojie didn't dare to argue anymore, so he could only press it down and sit down.

Without Wang Xiaojie's tirade, everyone had the opportunity to speak calmly, and the next person to speak was Zhang Cambodia, the servant of the door.

Zhang Cambodia's argument is also based on Wang Xiaojie's preface, and does not avoid the sovereignty issue of this territory because of the entanglement between the imperial court and Daxingtai, and directly sends envoys to deal with this matter, in addition to reprimanding the behavior of Tubo for violating the law and etiquette, but also to reorganize the order of the fetters in western Sichuan, promote and reward a group of pro-Tang Shengfan chiefs, and order the officials of Sichuan and Shu that unless the imperial court makes an order, they are not allowed to have any form of contact with the Tuqiang tribes without the imperial court.

On the issue of the barbarians in Fanbang, Zhang Cambodia was somewhat similar to Li Zhaode, emphasizing the great defense of Huayi, and believed that the power to contact Fanbang should not be delegated to the local government, including Daxingtai in Shaanxi Province. In addition to the question of the belonging of western Sichuan, the Tibetan desire and the pro-Yongwang are the hidden disasters that really need to be formalized.

In addition to questioning Tubo and picketing places, Zhang Cambodia even proposed to order King Yong to directly kill the envoys of the Tibetan State who were plotting to get through, and hand over the princess of the Tibetan Kingdom to the court envoys and send her back to Tubo.

"Although the two countries are in traffic, they do not threaten to kill. However, since Xianheng, the country of Tibet and our country have not communicated with each other for a long time, and this time it is such a treacherous plot and a bad intention, and it should not be responded to with national courtesy. Kill its thieves, our country's envoys are also in danger, but the Chinese system does not allow chaos! Please judge your own position, take charge of the festival with your humble position, and go to Tibet to exercise! ”

Zhang Cambodia's character is worthy of old age and spicy, not only did he propose such tough measures, but he was even willing to risk his life to go to the country.

But regardless of Zhang Cambodia's own temperament, the consequences of such a tough move are also unbearable for the current imperial court.

Therefore, after listening to Zhang Cambodia's statement, Emperor Li Dan laughed dryly and said: "Zhang Qingcheng is a strong man, but it is not worth harming my minister." State affairs have not yet entered the situation of poverty and urgency, and they still need to be thoughtful. ”

Except for Emperor Li Dan, several other prime ministers did not agree with Zhang Cambodia's proposal.

However, Wang Xiaojie was quite excited when he heard this, and couldn't help but speak again: "Since you have received this grace of food, how can you judge the size of the minister." Zhang Xianggong has lived in the temple for a long time, and can have such a grand plan, if the court adopts this strategy, the minister is also willing to hold the Ge to protect the subordinates, so that the thief does not dare to harm my angel! ”

Li Dandu had already vetoed Zhang Cambodia's proposal, and Wang Xiaojie actually agreed with it, which also made the atmosphere in the palace embarrassing for a while. Previously, because Wang Xiaojie was dedicated to military affairs, his nature was not too exposed, and Li Dan still had expectations for him. But now, I am really disappointed in my heart, but it is not good to reprimand him directly, after all, it is the prime minister who recalls the appointment of the prime minister.

In fact, the most important question for the imperial court is not how to respond to Tibet, but how to deal with Xingtai. After all, there is a big platform, although Tubo is a disaster, the imperial court has no immediate pain for a while. But if Xingtai wants to do things based on this, the court will be in real pain.

Therefore, Di Renjie's next speech should be more direct to the essence of the matter: "The two countries of Tang and Tibet have been friends for a long time, and they discuss things with each other, and they do not put love and courtesy first. His chaotic life is arbitrary, and he has nothing to do with the national economy. Recruit the governors of the governors of the governors of the states and add a decree to proclaim it, so that they can know what they are doing. Only in the present country, rest must be the priority, the people are tired for a long time, it is advisable to give compensation, and not because of the selfish tricks of the border generals, and provoke our people with words thousands of miles away, and hunt the land that cannot be transformed. ”

Di Renjie's opinion is in line with Li Dan's thoughts. He did not want to entrust many important military affairs to Shaanxi Daodaxingtai, but also urgently needed to establish his grace as the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty among the Hu chieftains on all sides.

But Li Dan was satisfied, but some people were dissatisfied.

As soon as Di Renjie finished speaking, Wang Xiaojie jumped out again, pointed at Di Renjie and said loudly: "What Di Xianggong said, what is the Prime Minister's words? Expand the territory and strengthen the country! The great plan of the country, only worship only Rong! How can we say that we are thirsty for merit! The minister came from the border affairs, although he was suffering from lying in the snow and drinking ice, he did not dare to forget the king's grace to make me. Loyalty, courage and righteousness, can be dissected or dedicated, is it not in the eyes of Di Xianggong, only the work of the sword and pen can be praised? ”

Wang Xiaojie was so excited, not just that he felt offended. He regarded the border ministers as the court, and he also had a great sense of responsibility in his heart, and felt that he should represent the border generals and speak for them. This is a matter of position, and naturally there is no room for forbearance.

The reason why Di Renjie said that it was nothing more than an allusion to the fact that Daxingtai was more private and planned to keep the characters out of the court, but he didn't expect that this remark would bring such a serious offense to Wang Xiaojie for a while. At this time, seeing Wang Xiaojie's reaction so fiercely, he suddenly had a headache.

Di Renjie kept silent, and in Wang Xiaojie's opinion, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and shouted: "Di Mou has been in the dynasty for half his life, how can he have a turn of honor?" Now by the emperor's grace, the high position is enjoyed, and the merits of the military ministers are proudly underestimated, and the ministers stand in a building with this, which is really unbearable! The safety of the country can be judged by distance and proximity? If it weren't for Anxi's loss and recovery, His Royal Highness King Yong would not be able to calmly arrange Qinghai and strengthen my Longyou! If Longyou is in danger, can Kansai be safe? Shaanxi is not appeased, there is such a humble minister boasting about the calm state above the court? ”

Wang Xiaojie's eloquent words were loud, and his glaring and angry reprimand were even more unstoppable. However, this meeting in front of the temple was completely destroyed and could no longer be discussed.
