"Fang Yi, let the inside line keep an eye on it and see if the martial artist is really dead!" Li Chengqian said.

Wang Fangyi felt that Li Chengqian was too cautious, and if he drank the poisonous wine given by the emperor, he could still live, except for the emperor, who would dare to do anything in the wine.

"No!" Although Wang Fangyi thought so in his heart, he still strictly followed the prince's orders.

It's not that Li Chengqian is too careful, but he has to be careful, after all, he is the only empress in history.

Who can be sure that she will not buy some eunuchs and palace maids to replace the poisoned wine rewarded by Li Er, and she will not be poisoned.

Half an hour later, news came from the inside again, and it had been confirmed that Wu Zetian was really cool, and Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lang Jun! His Majesty asked Lang Jun to go to the main hall to discuss state affairs together. A chamberlain trotted over to report.

"Got it, the widow will go over." After Li Chengqian said that, he got up and sat down and followed the chamberlain to the main hall of the meeting.

Bu Yuan stopped outside the main hall, and the attendant hurriedly helped Li Chengqian to get up.

Li Chengqian tidied up his clothes, and then walked into the hall step by step.

When he came, Li Chengqian was thinking about what major matters Li Erzhao was going to discuss, and after thinking about it, it was only about the war against Goguryeo.

Li Chengqian came to the main hall, and the eldest grandson Wuji and the others had already been discussing the war here for a while.

Li Chengqian saluted Li Er and said, "Sons and daughters see their father!" ”

"Cheng Qian is here! Excuse me! Li Er's voice came from the throne in front of him.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Chengqian got up and came to the side and sat next to Li Zhi.

The discussion continued, and Li Chengqian quietly listened to Li Erhe and the ministers discussing how to attack Goguryeo.

Li Er asked Li Chengqian to come over, so that he could learn more about this experience, and if he inherited the throne in the future, he would also have experience in dealing with such a thing.

At this time, a chamberlain trotted into the hall and saluted, "Your Majesty!" Anxi Du Guo Xiaoke escorted the king of Yanqi and his wife and children, and had arrived in Luoyang, Guo Xiaoke asked for instructions on how to deal with the king of Yanqi and his wife and children. ”

"What do you think should be done with the old and young of the Yanqi family?" Li Er looked at the minister and asked.

"The minister thinks that they should all be beheaded, circulated on the nine sides, and let those with bad intentions see, this is the end of betrayal of the Tang Dynasty." Some ministers advocated killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.

lest other foreigners follow the example of King Yanqi and be a wall grass that falls with the wind, and will be attached to that and here.

Killing the Yanqi family can have a deterrent effect, even if there are people with ill intentions, before they want to make any moves, they must weigh it.

"The Yanqi Wang's family has fallen to this, my Tang Dynasty is a big country, a state of etiquette, how can I treat prisoners cruelly, bully a group of unarmed prisoners, and damage the prestige of my Tang Dynasty."

There were also ministers who opposed the killing of the Yanqi Wang's family, and they generally believed that relying on killing unarmed people to deter the other party would only reduce the awe of the surrounding tribes towards the Tang Dynasty.

Both sides express their opinions! No one wants to let anyone feel that what they say is the most correct truth.

"Enough!" Li Er looked at the noisy black miasma hall and scolded loudly.

Li Er's body exuded the aura of a long-standing person, and a pair of dragon eyes scanned the ministers in the hall, and the ministers immediately closed their mouths in fright.

Li Er looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the two of them were the ministers who did not speak out among these ministers.

Li Er's eyes moved away from the two of them and looked at Li Chengqian, who was sitting on the side, watching the play quietly.

Li Chengqian felt Li Er's gaze, turned his head and looked at Li Ersi, he didn't understand why Li Er looked at him like this?

Could it be that I just behaved indecently? Li Chengqian guessed in his heart.

Li Er said leisurely: "Prince! What is your opinion on this matter? ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then the eyes of the ministers focused on Li Chengqian's body to see what the prince had about this matter.

Li Chengqian was powerless to complain in his heart: Why did everything collapse on his head! Originally, he just wanted to be a spectator quietly, but who knew that Li Er actually threw the pot at him.

Li Chengqian saluted and said: "Father, the emperor, and the sons also think that they should not kill King Yan and his family, but should forgive them. ”

Li Chengqian knew in his heart that Li Er would definitely be lenient to the Qi family, and took the opportunity to use this as a negative teaching material to educate his son.

He asked me suddenly, wouldn't he take the opportunity to test me, but by the way, he used the family of King Yan as a negative teaching material to educate himself as a prince!

The more Li Chengqian thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

"Oh! Why? Li Er asked.

"Now the Yanqi Wang's family has become the captives of the Tang Dynasty, most of them are women and children, if the father beheads them, it will inevitably end up with a reputation of bullying the weak."

"If we do this, it will only damage the prestige of our Tang Dynasty, not to mention, Yanqi is just a small country coerced by the Western Turks."

"Now that my Tang army has eliminated the culprits who dare to disobey my father's edict, it is enough to deter the petty people! Why do you need to kill a group of down-and-out prisoners. ”

"The son thinks that his father should be benevolent, so that the four seas will be more grateful for his father's kindness and more sincere to his father." Li Chengqian said.

Guo Xiaoke led his troops to destroy the Yanqi Kingdom, captured the Yanqi King alive, and defeated the reinforcements sent by the Western Turks to rescue the Yanqi Kingdom.

It has already played a role in deterring the tribes around the Tang Dynasty, and after this battle, the Western Turks do not dare to test the edge of Li Tang's tolerance.

Now that the deterrence has been achieved, the next step is naturally to show the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty and forgive the disrespectful King Yanqi of the Tang Dynasty, which will inevitably make more Yi people submit to the Tang Dynasty.

This is called the combination of rigidity and softness.

Of course, there is another point, controlling the Yanqi King in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and it may come in handy in the future.

If the Western Turks are still restless, the Tang Dynasty can also put the King of Yanqi back and create trouble for the Western Turks.

The army of the Tang Dynasty can also be stationed in the territory of Yanqi in the name of protecting the king, and completely incorporate Yanqi into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

With the help of the people of Yanqi, it is of great help to the Tang Dynasty in managing the surrounding ethnic groups.

"The prince is right! Mowgli, Chu Qing, what do you think, whether I forgive the King of Yanqi or kill the King of Yanqi. Li Er asked for the advice of the two of them.

You've got an idea, is it interesting to ask? The eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang complained in their hearts.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The minister agrees with the prince's point of view. ”

Chu Suiliang said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

At this time, the other ministers also came back to their senses and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
