Chapter 38: The Conversation of the Eagle and the Dove

Li Longji couldn't have imagined that Pei Min would say a few words and directly let Wang Ju, the pioneer of the withdrawal of troops and accept the claim of Tubo, turn against him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Not only Wang Ju, but also those ministers who were determined to withdraw the army before, also changed their words one by one to help speak.

The civil and military forces were once again opposed.

Li Longji had to accept this ability to turn things around.

Pei Min looked at the Wenchen who were on the verge of defection, and also laughed.

The reaction of this Wenchen was expected by him.

What Wenchen thinks about is nothing more than economic development and the stability of the people.

They believed that the garrison was of little significance, and there was no other benefit except to increase the economic burden of the imperial court.

Pei Min's words made them instantly understand that the value of Mo Liyi, the inexhaustible salt resources, can bring unimaginable economic effects to the court and make up for the tight treasury.

With such a good thing, where can you take care of your face, and change your flag without saying a word.

Literati!

It was a pack of wolves in sheep's clothing, usually docile and amiable, but when their interests were touched, their fangs were more terrible than tigers.

What kind of death is forced to force the palace, everything can be done.

In a few words, Ge Fushun was so mocking that he almost wanted to dig into it.

Seeing that his in-laws were in trouble, Wang Maozhong, who was behind the scenes, had to stand up and say: "General Ge also thinks about the overall situation to avoid meaningless disputes. Especially Fang Gang's recovery of the land of Jiuqu in Hexi, he needs to recuperate well, and there is an inexplicable estrangement with Tubo, which is not conducive to long-term development. ”

In fact, he just wanted to be the envoy of Longyoujie, but he knew that he was two catties, relying on Li Longji's momentum in Chang'an, and showing off his might was his skill. If you really want to go to the front line and be tough with the Tibetans and Turks, it is no different from looking for death.

The main task of the envoy of Longyou Jiedu was to be responsible for resisting the Tibetans, and the Tang army withdrew from the Moliyi and was able to avoid frontal contact with the Tibetans.

As long as it is three or five years, between Tang and Fan, there will be no peace, and he will have the merit of defending the land. When the time comes, he will be promoted to the secretary of the military department, which is a sure thing.

Wang Maozhong is arrogant and domineering, and everyone knows it!

But what Wenchen is not afraid of is arrogance, compared to arrogance, who can compare with them? It's just that they don't call their actions arrogant, but arrogant and straightforward.

"General Wang's words are wrong! How can it be meaningless to guard my Tang territory? Mo Liyi was exchanged for every inch of my flesh and blood by my Tang Dynasty soldiers. There is the blood of loyal martyrs on it, how can it be said that the sacrifice of guarding them is meaningless! The servant of the ministry also stood up and said impassionedly, righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Enough!" Li Longji stopped the civil and military quarrels and said: "On this hall, it is noisy and noisy, what kind of system!" Seeing that Wenwu calmed down, he glanced at Pei Min, who was the initiator but was watching the play, and said, "I think what you say has a certain truth, what does Pei Qing think?" ”

Pei Min said with a smile: "If Tubo comes from all over the country, the ministers will refuse it for His Majesty, and if Tubo comes from the teacher, the ministers should be annihilated by His Majesty." If Tubo really dares to tear up the covenant, the minister will dare to turn his Qinghai Lake upside down! Why fear that they will turn their backs? ”

Wang Ju exclaimed: "The prince of the country dares to fight and dare to fight, and he is an example in my Tang army!" ”

"Good!" Li Longji said categorically: "I also think that what Pei Qing and Wang Qing said is reasonable, and the envoy of Tubo once said that the meat that was eaten in his mouth was justified in spitting it out. Mo Liyi is now my Tang territory, and I don't trade with my land. The Ministry of Rites, after the court meeting, made clear my attitude to the Tibetan envoys, not to leave the post and not to give up an inch of land, and urged the uncle and nephew to make a covenant, and asked them to know. Not only will we not let Mo leave the station, but we will also develop the nearby salt pond. They really want to make peace with my Datang and renew the alliance, I can take a step back in ransom and let them spend less, as for the rest, I won't let them go at all. ”

The Ministry of Rites received the order and promised.

Wang Maozhong's expression was a little indignant, thinking about Pei Min's words, he couldn't help but feel excited, and instantly understood that he was going to compete with himself for the position of the envoy of Longyoujie! Thinking of his record and thinking of Li Long's favor, he instantly regarded him as the number one competitor.

The pilgrimage is over!

Li Longji invited Pei Min to lunch together!

This Li family Saburo laughed and said: "In this matter, the rare civil and military unity, unanimously to the outside world, I really pinch a cold sweat for you." I thought that you would be like last time, and you would be so angry with what others said that you were so red that you were speechless. But I didn't want to, I actually rebelled against Wenchen in just a few words, which is really remarkable and much more clever. ”

Pei Min said with a smile: "It's not that the minister has any great things, but he actually scratched Wang Shangshu's itch." ”

Li Longji bowed his head and said: "That's true, Wang Qing is loyal to my Tang Dynasty, and what he thinks and asks for is nothing more than peace in the world and the health of the people." I'm glad you can take care of that. ”

Pei Min said: "Lonely yin is not born, and solitary yang is not long." The so-called civil and military paths are actually different views, just like eagles and pigeons, seeking different things. The minister has never had the heart to reject the ministers, but just looks down on those who are full of benevolence and morality and misinterpret the meaning of the saints. ”

Li Longji's eyes lit up and said, "Eagle, pigeon? This is an apt analogy. So Jingyuan, do you think you are an eagle or a pigeon? ”

Pei Min said without hesitation: "The minister's temperament is radical and the main battle, as a soldier, he is naturally a hawk. But as the minister said before, the minister never rejects doves. Hawks have hawkish thoughts, and doves have their own dove routines. ”

Li Longji couldn't take care of eating, and said with a smile: "Then do you think the hawks are more important, or the doves are important?" ”

Pei Min responded: "The hawks are for the country to be strong, and the doves are for the people to live and work in peace and contentment and live a happy life, all for the good of the country and the Tang Dynasty, and they are all on the right path." It should be right that there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and the blind hawks will be like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Yang Guang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has made great achievements throughout the ages, and few emperors can compare, but behind the glory is the waste of the sea, and the population has been halved. As for Yang Guang, not to mention, he directly defeated the good country. Blindly dovish, just like the well-dressed Jin Dynasty who crossed to the south, was in a corner of peace, and in the end there was only the end of destruction. ”

In fact, the best analogy is the Southern Song Dynasty......

The wealth of the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty and the security of the people are difficult to compare with the previous dynasties, but so what, the land has been lost for hundreds of years until it perished, leaving the hatred of the cliffs and mountains.

It's just that in this era, Zhao Kuangyin's grandfather was not born, so he could only be replaced by the Jin Dynasty.

Li Longji listened with interest.

Pei Min continued: "The strongest Han Dynasty was not the period of Emperor Wu, but the period of Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan ruled with the way of the king's hegemony, the politics were clear, and the four Yi guests were served. My Tang Dynasty was the strongest, in the Taizong period, Emperor Taizong was able to attack from all sides and take care of the livelihood of the people. There is history to learn from the fact that hawks and doves coexist with each other, contain each other, and do not blindly use force to spare, nor do they avoid and retreat from each other. If you can be strong, you will be strong, and if you can't be strong, you will let it, which is the king. ”

When he said this, he also meant to admonish.

Li Longji was too radical in the early stage, and too comfortable and polarized in the later stage, which led to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.
