Chapter 252: Court Commentary

Just when Zhang Yunwen was a little nervous, he saw a purple-robed official on Wenchen's side come out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Turkic world is a thief, and the people are also enemies; Now fortunately, it is broken, Your Majesty is subordinate, and he can't bear to kill it all, and it is advisable to return to his homeland, and he cannot stay in China. Fu Rongdi has a human face and a beast's heart, and if it is weak, please obey, and if it is strong, it will rebel, and it will be normal. There are nearly 200,000 people who have descended today, and in a few years, they will be multiplied, and they will be sick of the heart, and they will not regret it. At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, Zhuhu and the people lived in China, Guo Qin and Jiang Tong all persuaded Emperor Wu to drive out of the fortress to eliminate chaos, but Emperor Wu did not obey. After more than 20 years, between Yi and Luo, it became the domain of the war, and the previous events were also clear! Therefore, the old minister did not want to move the Hu people into Yanyu, so as not to make mistakes! ”

This person is Wei Zheng.

Seeing that Wei Zheng said this, Li Shimin suddenly said "um" and said, "Wei Qing's words are reasonable!" ”

At this time, Wen Yanbo said again: "The king is to all things. The sky is covered with everything, and there is nothing left behind. Now the Turks are poor and come to me, so why abandon them and don't care! Confucius said: 'There is no class in teaching. 'If we save them from death, and bestow them on their karma, and teach them the rites and righteousness, after a few years, they will all be our people.' Choose its chieftain, make it into the guard, fear the prestige of Huaide, what will happen in the future! ”

Li Shimin nodded, his gaze swept over the other courtiers: "What about the other Aiqing?" Don't you have anything to say? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others suddenly said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Seeing this, Li Shimin smiled slightly, Liu Xian beside him took a few pieces of paper, and then said with a smile: "I received a letter yesterday, which is about the settlement of this Turk, you Aiqing can circulate it!" ”

As he spoke, he handed it to Liu Xian and asked him to send it to the bottom of the stairs.

As a result, the five sheets of paper in Zhang Yunwen's handwriting were slowly circulated among the ministers.

When the ministers had read the paper, they either kept silent and acted as inscrutable; Or smile lightly, noncommittal; Or sneer and hand it to the next person. In this way, the thin five-page paper was quickly passed through the hands of the ministers.

Zhang Yunwen also looked at it, and then handed the paper to the next person.

At this time, Zhang Yunwen felt that someone was looking at him, looked up, and suddenly saw the meaningful gaze of the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this piece after reading it?" Li Shimin asked with a smile, seeing that the ministers were silent, he coughed and said in a deep voice, "This piece of music offers a total of three strategies." First, the Turkic warriors were trained into an army. Second, the Turks moved to the south of the Yangtze River. Third, all Turkic unmarried women are married to Han men, and men are married to Han women. Fourth, the Turks were all accustomed to Chinese and Chinese, and were not allowed to speak Turkic or write Turkic script. Fifth, all Turks under the age of 10 must gather together to teach Confucian classics! Hehe, what do you think of these five strategies? ”

Seeing that Li Shimin asked again, Wen Yanbo suddenly came out and said: "Weichen thinks that this strategy is fallacious!" First, who can control and control the Turkic army? Second, why move the Turks to the south of the Yangtze River, instead of Yanzhao, you must know that the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is very different from that outside the Saiwai, if the water and soil are not adapted, it will be chaotic. Third, if the matter of intermarriage is forcibly required by the government, I am afraid that there will be troubles! ”

As soon as this remark came out, Wei Zheng also said: "If you move to Jiangnan, the cost will be huge, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses!" ”

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and asked the other ministers, "What do you mean?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji twisted his beard and smiled: "Weichen is quite in agreement with the five strategies. Especially the last three strategies, intermarriage with the Turks, banning their writing, teaching their young sons, a few decades later, these Turks will still remember the Turks, only speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and only remember that they are Tang people! These three strategies are very wonderful, and Wechen agrees! ”

Fang Xuanling also said: "The place south of the Yangtze River seems far away, but it is very suitable!" With the convenience of the canal, 200,000 people can reach Jiangnan in a few months. Although it will block the shipping lane, if you want to go long-term, what does it matter if you want to cut off this short period of time? As for the unaccustomed water and soil, giving birth to chaos, since my Tang Dynasty was able to exterminate the Turks on the grassland, are you still afraid of those Turks who left the grassland? Moreover, their strength is already in the army, what is their ability to mess with? When the marriage is completed and the customs and writings change, who will mess up? Therefore, Wechen also agrees with these five strategies! ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but bow slightly.

Zhang Yunwen heard that the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling supported him so much, and his heart was relieved at the moment.

At this time, Li Shimin said by name: "Zhang Yunwen Zhang Aiqing, can you tell me your opinion on these five strategies?" ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes in the court were focused on Zhang Yunwen. Many people began to speculate, why didn't Li Shimin be called by others, but by this Zhang Yunwen?

Zhang Yunwen secretly complained in his heart, last night you also let yourself be less involved in the affairs of the court through the mouth of Runan, why did you put yourself in the front desk today? Although his heart was full of bitterness, there was no discoloration on his face, and he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there are still shortcomings in these five strategies!" ”

Li Shimin suddenly said with interest: "Oh, then tell me, what are the shortcomings?" ”

"Every once in a while, the local people should organize a bittersweet meeting, so that the Turks can recall how they did not have enough to eat on the steppe at the beginning, and they had to make a living by plundering grain every year, and now, in the Tang Dynasty, they have food to eat. Let them not forget the kindness of Datang. Before every meal, I have to say loudly: 'I am a Datang person, and I love Datang affectionately!' Words like that. If you do this repeatedly, you will be effective in five years and ten years! ”

"Well, moreover, the customs of the Turks must be completely curtailed when they are settled, and step-marriages must be abolished, and they will not even be allowed to graze, but only farming. As for the Turkic army, as long as the Tang Dynasty holds its relatives and family members in its hands, it is not afraid that they will harbor different intentions. Moreover, cadets who have graduated from military academies can be sent to serve as junior officers in it, so that this army can be firmly controlled! ”

When Zhang Yunwen said this, he sneered: "Eh, Your Majesty, that's all Weichen can think of!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, and before he could speak, Kong Yingda on the side said coldly: "It is unkind to coerce people and relatives to force them to fight!" Does General Zhang want to put His Majesty on his back? ”

Zhang Yunwen couldn't help laughing when he heard this kind of remark: "Master Kong's words are serious. When soldiers are fighting abroad, it is necessary for relatives to keep their relatives at home, how can it be regarded as unkind? Besides, this Turkic army is for recruitment, specializing in battles, how can it not keep a hand? ”

Kong Yingda knew that it was difficult to refute Zhang Yunwen's words, and he stopped speaking.

At this time, Wen Yanbo said: "How can Turkic customs be so easy to move? One is bad, that is, to cause turmoil!"

Zhang Yunwen glanced at Wen Yanbo, and then at Fang Xuanling: "Master Fang just said that the Turks were in the grassland back then, and we were not afraid, but now in Jiangnan, how can we be afraid of the Turks?" Wechen thinks this makes sense. Since ancient times, there has been a chaos, and there is a great rule after the chaos! Don't be afraid of turmoil, as long as you can extinguish the turmoil, act vigorously and resolutely, and strive to implement great governance, then the society will be prosperous, and the country's prosperity will be just around the corner! ”

After Zhang Yunwen finished speaking, the hall was suddenly silent, and the needles could be heard. None of the ministers argued against these five strategies.

Seeing this, Li Shimin immediately said: "Yunwen's words are indeed reasonable!" Since you Aiqing have no objections, then I will issue an order to deal with the Turkic people according to these five strategies! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling immediately took the lead: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Thus, the question of the Turkic settlement in the fourth year of Zhenguan came to an end.
