"No harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute! The courtiers guard the country, and the king dies! ”

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, his eyes were shining, and he immediately shouted: "This is the integrity of my Tang Dynasty, from now on, this sentence will be the ancestral training of my Tang Dynasty and the code of conduct of the emperors of the past dynasties!" ”

The military generals of the Manchu Dynasty immediately shouted in unison: "The ministers will definitely shroud the body of horse leather and guard the country for Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin said solemnly: "In this way, I will entrust my life to you." ”

In the Taiji Palace, there was a solemn ceremony of the monarch and the minister. Merton's words were very burning, but everyone knew that the price to be paid to reach this point was probably extremely heavy, but these people did not hesitate.

After a long time, the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall calmed down slightly.

Linghu Dedi said: "Once the matter of peace and affinity is severed, Datang and the surrounding countries will lose their checks and balances, but I am afraid that Datang will continue to have troubles in the future!" ”

Only then did the ministers realize that if the matter of peace and kinship was severed, the Tang Dynasty lacked effective means to check and balance the surrounding countries, and I am afraid that it would really be a border trouble! Although Datang is not afraid of war, but the surrounding countries are in turmoil, even if Datang wins, I am afraid it will suffer heavy losses, and it is not a way to do this in the long run.

Wang Yushi suddenly said with a sarcastic expression on his face: "The bell must be tied to the bell, since the head of the Marquis of Mo is not in harmony, there must be a way to solve this hidden danger." ”

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu immediately focused his attention on Merton's body, and unconsciously, everyone in the court paid more and more attention to Merton's suggestion, and Merton never disappointed them.

Morton immediately sneered when he heard this: "Looking at the history books, which two countries in the world will always be married. Even if Zhaojun is out of the fortress, it will only be peaceful for fifty or sixty years, and since women can't complete the task of peace between the two countries, then we men will go up. ”

As soon as Merton's words came out, all of a sudden, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were like being choked by the neck, and they all stared at Merton, looking at Merton with abnormal eyes one by one.

Wang Yushi suddenly turned pale with anger, and angrily reprimanded: "The Mo family is simply not a son of man, he has such a dirty idea, and the minister plays the Mo family's great disrespectful crime." ”

Li Shimin was also full of black lines, looking at Merton with a distressed look.

There were even many ministers who understood it, and looked at Merton with the eyes of people in the same way, and Morton's goosebumps rose when they saw it.

Merton looked around and said with an innocent face: "In the pre-Qin period, which envoy was not a man, back then, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, together vertically and horizontally, vertically and horizontally, which one was not a momentary figure." ”

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly realized that the Mo family's suggestion was to reuse the Zongheng family, looking at Merton's innocent eyes, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military couldn't help but be full of shame, it turned out that they were crooked in their own dirty thoughts.

Wang Yushi's face was even more red with shame, among the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he was the only one who opened his mouth to refute Morton, so he was not the only one who exposed his dirty thoughts.

"Mo Jiazi!"

Wang Yushi immediately gritted his teeth, gritting his teeth with hatred for Merton who made him ugly.

Li Shimin couldn't help but be proud, during the Warring States Period, the Zongheng family could be said to shine, if there was a figure comparable to Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the Tang Dynasty, it would definitely make the Tang Dynasty border stable.

"One faction, one dynasty and two masters, even if they are eloquent, how can they take on heavy responsibilities." Wang Yushi was furious and retorted loudly.

Many civil officials also nodded one after another, Confucianism attaches the most importance to loyalty, believing that one minister does not do two masters, and naturally despises this behavior of the Zongheng family, which is also the reason for the decline of the doctrine of the Zongheng faction.

Morton said: "That Zhang Jian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, and Ban Chao threw a pen from Rong, which one made no more contributions than Heqin." ”

Wang Yushi suddenly ended.

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded, who can say that Zhang Jian and Ban Chao did not use the vertical and horizontal technique, and they both made great achievements.

Merton proposed: "Your Majesty, there is no distinction between good and bad academics, and the art of vertical and horizontal can naturally be used by my Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court can specially select some loyal children to specialize in the art of vertical and horizontal, and once they are completed, they can be sent to the surrounding countries, so that they can solve the matter of the Qin and Twilight Chu of the Vertical and Horizontal Dynasty, and can reproduce the style of the vertical and horizontal faction, explain the interests and disadvantages to the surrounding countries, and promote the way of the strength and prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, so that it will definitely be able to dominate the four seas and respect the world, which is the way to solve the border troubles of the Tang Dynasty, rather than pinning on the body of a woman." ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, the powerful power of the vertical and horizontal technique, but it has long been confirmed in the Warring States Period, and Merton proposed such a method, which not only solves the disadvantages of the vertical and horizontal family, but also can give full play to the power of the vertical and horizontal technique, which is much better than harmony.

Wang Yushi retorted: "The vertical and horizontal faction was only very prominent in the pre-Qin period, but the seven heroes of the Warring States were all descendants of Yan and Huang, with the same root and origin, and now the Tang Dynasty is facing a barbarian country, and the vertical and horizontal empty mouth and white teeth, how can it be said that the barbarian country can be moved." ”

In his opinion, the reason why the vertical and horizontal faction can be so brilliant is because the seven heroes of the Warring States period have the same root and the same origin, so there is a place for the vertical and horizontal faction.

Merton said: "There are no eternal friends between nations, only eternal interests." Datang intersects with neighboring countries, and naturally there are many places where the countries need Datang, and the vertical and horizontal factions go to other countries, naturally representing the will of Datang and seeking the common interests of the two countries, as long as the interests exist, the two countries will naturally maintain peace forever. ”

"What if the interests are not there or endanger the interests of Datang?" Li Shimin asked.

Merton said coldly: "Then the Tang Dynasty will work together to balance its country, let it be isolated, and come to the court to ask for guilt!" ”

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, if Datang can really reach such a point, it will be subdued.

"If necessary, 100,000 soldiers of Datang will be able to safeguard the interests of Datang." Merton said coldly.

Li Shimin nodded slowly, he was never a passive beater, the Weishui Alliance was his lifelong shame, just three years, Li Shimin destroyed the Eastern Turks and avenged with one arrow.

"What does Linghu Aiqing think of this party?" Li Shimin turned his head to Linghu Dedi and asked.

"Weichen thinks this is a great good!"

The Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the diplomatic work of the Tang Dynasty, and it usually only receives envoys from various countries, and its rights are very small.

Furthermore, it is no longer possible to break off the matter of kinship, so there is only the art of appointing vertical and horizontal.

"Okay, this matter will be handled by the Ministry of Rites, remember the chosen person, loyalty first." Li Shimin commanded.

"Do the Holy Commandment!" Linghu Dedi responded.

The Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in this way, it has become inevitable that the vertical and horizontal faction will reappear in the political arena, and among the hundred schools of thought of the pre-Qin princes, another hundred schools of doctrine have risen in the Tang Dynasty, and all these changes have started from the Mo family.
