Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

The atmosphere in the court today was very depressing from the beginning.

After Li Shimin came in, his face was normal, but when he spoke, it was a little unnatural, as if he was deliberately hiding something.

He said: "Regarding Xue Yantuo Yinan's proposal to make peace, what are the opinions of all Aiqing? ”

"Your Majesty, Chen Jingzhao received a side report that the area of Yunzhou New County was attacked by hundreds of cavalry from the Xue Yantuo Department of the grassland, and our army counterattacked it, and it left temporarily, but there were still a large number of cavalry assembled on the border.

A total of 119 Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded, and a total of 119 people were taken captive, and the property was seriously damaged.

Shengzhou and other places have also been harassed on different scales.

And that's not even the worst of it.

The Toyosu Tiele Department also launched an intrusion into our border areas. The intention of the Tiele Department and the Xue Yantuo Department to jointly attack our Datang has been revealed.

And ......"

Zhang Liang, the squire of the military department, reported on the situation on the northern border, and the possibility of the grassland peoples moving south on a large scale is increasing.

"Buzz", there was a burst of discussion in the main hall.

"Your Majesty, Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan sent people to urge peace yesterday, and his chief manager Bo Ti made wild remarks, saying that if His Majesty did not agree to their request, he would look down on them, and in order to maintain the honor of the grassland people, they did not hesitate to mobilize 300,000 troops to hunt in Chang'an."

Honglu Temple Qing Tang Fei said.

"Buzz, buzz", the discussion in the hall became even more noisy.

"Your Majesty." Cheng Yanjin stood up. He said: "The hateful steppe people are so arrogant, they are simply too deceitful.

Your Majesty, please fight, as long as you give an order, the minister is willing to fight the vanguard and lead the army to level the grassland. ”

"Minister, please fight."

"Minister, please fight."

Li Daozong, Zhang Liang, Wei Chigong, Xue Wanche and other generals stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." It was Wei Zheng who came out.

He said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are in favor of peace. ”

"Wei Zheng, you're a wreck, a coward." Cheng Biting Jin said angrily.

Many military generals followed suit.

Wei Zheng didn't look at them, his face remained unchanged, and he waited for them to finish arguing.

Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for the generals to retreat. Then he said; "Wei Zheng, it's okay for you to talk about it."

Wei Zheng asked, "Your Majesty, how is the war in Annan Province?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Duan Zhixuan's military newspaper said that the attack of the rebels had been contained, but the local people were unstable, and the rebels had the support of some people and were familiar with the terrain, so it was difficult to completely exterminate them for a while. ”

Wei Zheng asked again: "Your Majesty, how is the battle in Tuyuhun?" ”

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and said hesitantly: "I haven't gotten the news yet, it should be okay." ”

Li You, the king of Qi, has returned to Chang'an, and he has returned from Tuyuhun, what does it mean that he has not yet received news?

This is clearly talking nonsense with your eyes open!

It seems that the war in Tuyuhun is not good.

The hearts of the people were weighed on heavy stones.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has just formulated a strategy to appease the people and calm down, the people are at peace, and the people need to recuperate.

At present, Annam is still peaceful, the flames of the Tuyuhun war have not been extinguished, and the impact of the floods in the Jianghuai region has not been removed. In this case, what are the chances of winning against hundreds of thousands of steppe iron cavalry?

Even if the whole country exerts its strength to repel the invasion of the grassland people, it will still use a large amount of military service and hard labor, spend a lot of money and food, and sacrifice the lives of countless Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Is it really in the interests of the imperial court to do so? ”

"Buzz, buzz", Wei Zheng's words caused a chord, and the ministers nodded in the majority.

Wei Zheng continued; "In the face of such a crisis, Your Majesty must not be rash. Since ancient times, harmony has almost been a necessary and effective means to appease neighboring countries and nations.

Since Emperor Gaozu, our dynasty has been friendly many times, which has played a very good role. Is there a better way to do it in the current crisis? ”

Li Shimin didn't speak, but the ministers who had a heart found him nodding slightly.

Wang Yuan, the representative of the gate valve clan and the servant of the Ministry of Rites, said: "The minister agrees with Lord Wei's opinion, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, there have been many wars and disasters.

Since the beginning of our dynasty, there have been one after another, large and small wars, and excessive military service and hard labor, resulting in the poverty of the country and the poverty of the people, and the people are full of complaints......

In short, the minister is in favor of harmony. ”

This guy is the mastermind behind the last student movement, and he has already seen that Li Shimin has the intention of suppressing the gate valve clan, and he is taking revenge, and he wants to see Li Shimin's jokes.

Next, the ministers expressed their opinions and debated endlessly.

However, those who are in favor of peace and pro account for the majority.

Li Tai saw the trend, and he was also in favor of harmony. He can sacrifice Li Leling in exchange for Li Shimin's appreciation and the support of the ministers.

He said: "Father, Erchen and the third sister have a deep relationship with each other, if possible, Erchen is willing to go to the third sister to make peace." But ......"

Li Tai was so sad that he couldn't talk anymore, he raised his sleeve and pretended to wipe his tears. He continued: "However, as a royal child, I have the obligation to solve problems for my father and the imperial court.

In short, the sons are in favor of harmony. ”

Li Ke wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and finally held back.

Li Shimin looked at the chaotic ministers and felt sad. He said in his heart: "Li You is right, what Datang needs is not only to defeat foreign enemies, but also to have a spirit of unity."

We must win a united Datang through this incident, which is the real victory. ”

Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly, and in the end he did not express his opinion.

Seeing that the dynasty was about to disperse, Li Shimin didn't have a word for it, Wei Zheng was anxious, and he said: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, there is no room for any more hesitation." Please make a decision, Your Majesty. ”

Xiao Qian was also supportive and pro-friendly, and he also said, "Your Majesty, please decide." ”

"Your Majesty, please!" The ministers came out one after another and said together.

"Buzz", this time it was not the sound of people talking, but the roof of the main hall, which was shaken slightly by the neat voices of the ministers.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "According to the opinions of all Aiqing, let's get along."

Let's retreat. ”

Li Shimin pulled his face and left.

No one noticed the smile on his face as he left the hall.

He said secretly: "Acting is really interesting. ”

Wei Zheng kept a straight face, and he was secretly proud in his heart: "Playing a villain also requires skills." ”

Honglu Temple Guest House.

After listening to Tang Fei's announcement of harmony from Honglu Temple, Yi Nan and the others laughed wildly.

Yi Nan said: "You inform your majesty the emperor, and say that I will go in person tomorrow to express my gratitude." ”

On the same day, West Market.
