Chapter 1922: Forced Arguments

Yuanjia?

Is this the meeting over, nag time?

Everyone was stunned, they didn't think that this topic was suitable for such an occasion, and they were not bored to this extent.

Cui Jijian glanced at Han Yi slightly, frowned, and then took the lead in breaking the silence, "I have also heard of this, it seems to say that the Yuan family is on some overseas islands, reclaiming land and growing food, and last year, the Buddha died in the vicinity of a cargo ship that the Yuan family transported to those islands, and the Yuan family immediately sent people to seek justice, but they were defeated by the people of the Buddha country." ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "That's probably it." ”

Hao Chujun was slightly puzzled: "Then I don't know why Shang Shuling brought up this matter here?" ”

Here, it is obviously a hint to Han Yi, and this matter should not be talked about here.

Han Yi smiled bitterly: "Hao Shangshu, the people of the Yuan family are also my people of the Tang Dynasty, our people of the Tang Dynasty died there, I mention it here, is there anything wrong?" ”

Hao Chujun immediately said: "Shang Shuling misunderstood the old man, the old man just thinks that it is all a place outside the country, and it is not under the jurisdiction of my Tang Dynasty, since they want to go there, they have to bear it themselves, and it is not the court that let them go, and the court has no obligation to be responsible for this." ”

Han Yi shook his head and said: "You can't say that, can't they leave the Central Plains, then they won't be my people of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Zhang Wenguan frowned and asked, "Could it be that Shang Shuling thinks that the imperial court should go to seek justice for the Yuan family?" ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "Not bad." I think so. ”

"How is this possible, not to mention that the imperial court doesn't even know what the situation is over there, even if it does, for the sake of a cargo ship, the imperial court will mobilize the army and go to sea to attack another country, this can't be explained!" Zhang Wenguan's face was incredible.

Di Renjie said: "If it is near my Central Plains, the imperial court can still send someone to negotiate, but the problem is that the place is far away from my Central Plains, and I have to build ships to go to sea, and I don't approve of this, and many people have died in other regions, and the imperial court still has to focus on the overall situation." ”

Liu Xiang said: "I don't think the imperial court can be regarded as ignoring, since that place is not safe, the imperial court should inform the people of the world and let them try not to go to sea." ”

This is actually a typical ancient Chinese thought, Confucianism, that is, don't walk around if you have nothing to do, the home is the safest, it's too dangerous outside, what are you going out for, this is because the Central Plains is vast, there is everything, there is nothing missing, so over time, everyone feels that there is no need to go out, and living in a place outside the country is either barbarian or Dijon, then it is all exiles who go there, and they even despise the people who go to those places.

Almost everyone was unanimously against it.

They all think that Han Yi is nonsense.

It was just a personal transaction of the Yuan family, and it was not for the court to let them go, which was not controlled by the laws of the imperial court, and they did not pay taxes, so it was reasonable that the imperial court had no obligation to be the master of the Yuan family.

Han Yi nodded and said, "Although everyone is reasonable, have you ever thought that once the imperial court is willing to send troops, you can include those places as my Tang territory." ”

Zhang Wenguan said angrily: "That island may not even be able to talk about the outer land, what's the use of coming!" ”

Han Yi said: "Wasn't Goguryeo also a place in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, but Goguryeo brought a lot of wealth to my Tang Dynasty." ”

"Please also ask Shang Shuling to be cautious."

Hao Chujun said quite seriously: "We sent troops to Goguryeo, because the Liaodong region was originally the land of my Central Plains, and it was the place where Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to occupy us, plus the three expeditions of the previous dynasty to Goguryeo, and formed a deep hatred, this hatred is naturally not forgotten, we are not fighting Goguryeo for that little money, if you say so, then what is the difference between us and the robbers." ”

Han Yi said: "Between countries, hasn't there been any banditry? ”

Zhang Wen said: "Shang Shuling, and whether you are a robber or not, your relationship with the Yuan family is not simple, I think you have to avoid suspicion in this matter, you use the power of the country to do it for you... That lady's maiden family is out, don't say that we won't agree, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty won't agree, so no matter what the court plans, you have to avoid it, otherwise it will damage the prestige of Shang Shuling. ”

The rest of the people also nodded, if it wasn't for the accident of the Yuan family, would you still mention this matter?

The answer is yes, yes.

Because this is what Han Yi arranged, the purpose is to use Southeast Asia to arouse the ambition of the imperial court's overseas expansion, but this kind of thing, if you Han Yi don't say it, who can understand, even if you know, in fact, it can't change anything, because everyone thinks that the Central Plains is the center of the world, and there is no need to go to other places.

Han Yi, who has always been able to speak well, was speechless by them, but how is this possible, Han Xiaoge's eloquence, even in later generations, is first-class, his speechlessness is just planning for another person, this limelight in his plan, does not belong to him, but belongs to Wu Meiniang, which is especially important for Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang must be allowed to sing the leading role.

"Listen to me, everybody"

Wu Meiniang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Wu Meiniang in surprise.

When you were talking about business, you didn't make a sound, this kind of nonsense, you opened your mouth again, your grade is really low.

Wu Meiniang's eyes swept and said categorically: "I think the imperial court must send troops this time to seek justice for the Yuan family." ”

Zhang Wenguan frowned and said, "What did the queen say?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "The truth is that Han Yi has already said it, because the people of the Yuan family are also my people of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Zhang Wen said: "But we also said that this alone is not enough to make the imperial court mobilize the people, which is pure nonsense. ”

"Nonsense?"

Wu Meiniang snorted coldly and said: "The lives of my Tang people, how can it become nonsense in your mouth, my Tang Dynasty is the first empire in the world, how can we allow those wild monkeys to spread wild on our heads, this will be spread out, I am afraid that it will make the surrounding feudal countries laugh off their big teeth, if this time it is like this, then my Tang people will not dare to go anywhere, and the surrounding feudal countries will not take my Tang people to heart, we will take this opportunity to tell the surrounding feudal countries that if anyone dares to hurt my Tang people, we will return it a hundred times." ”

Zhang Wenguan immediately said: "Has the queen ever thought that once we send troops, not to mention victory or defeat, even if we win, there will be damage, in order to be just one person, and fight just a small island country that has no threat to my Tang Dynasty, we will take hundreds of lives, how can this be explained to Your Majesty, how to explain to the people of the world?" Is the life of the Yuan family valuable? ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Isn't my Datang army just to protect the people of Datang?" ”

Hao Chujun said: "Although the queen's words are not unreasonable, but the imperial court still has to pay attention to the overall situation, and the people who died in Tubo are far more dead than this time, so the imperial court should also send troops to attack Tubo." ”

Wu Meiniang said strongly: "Who said to let Tubo go? We must not forget every account with Tibet, and we must settle accounts with them one day. ”

Everyone was stunned, did the queen eat gunpowder today, or did she come from the moon? How did it become so horizontal.

Liu Xiangdao hurriedly came out to make a round and said: "Queen, the rights and wrongs of this matter have not been investigated clearly, no matter who the other party is, where he is, just rashly send troops, this is too impulsive, difficult to convince people, and it is definitely not a benevolent and righteous act, besides, the country that has a sharp nose back then also paid tribute to my Tang Dynasty, although it has now been replaced by the Buddha Death Country, but they will never dare to be the enemy of my Tang Dynasty, otherwise, the imperial court will send someone to the Buddha Death Country to inquire about it, investigate the matter clearly, if it is really they who did it first, let them apologize." , Let the Buddha die as my Tang Domain, how about it? ”

Zhang Wen said: "This is a big deal, and sending people to the sea to negotiate with that side is really too small a fuss, and now we still have to focus on internal affairs." ”

"I also think it's too much of a waste of energy, and it's better to send troops directly to recruit troops." Wu Meiniang said: "Now that the surrounding area of my Tang Dynasty has surrendered except for Tubo, and the Western Regions are thousands of miles away, I think that expanding overseas is not a way out, and it is worth taking seriously by the imperial court." ”

Zhang Wen said: "My Tang Dynasty territory has been ancient and modern, and I can't manage it, what's the use of those islands?" ”

Han Yi said: "That island is no better than the northwest, you can grow grain and cotton, you can't say it's useless." ”

Lu Shigua frowned and said: "Useful or useless, put it aside for the time being, the queen means to use this to expand the territory." ”

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said: "I have to use this matter to expand my territory, I just think that this battle can kill two birds with one stone, which can not only raise the prestige of my Tang Dynasty and shock the Quartet, but also expand my territory and strive for more fertile land for the Tang Dynasty." ”

Lu Shi hexagram said: "Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, you will only make more vassal states leave us by doing this, and force can only make people surrender for a while, not forever, and the northwest is the best illustration." ”

The corners of Wu Meiniang's mouth raised slightly: "But force is always the first step, is it that Ashina Helu took the initiative to give me Datang in the northwest region?" It's not down yet. ”

"Queen, you are taking state affairs as a child's play, do you know how much manpower and material resources it takes to send troops overseas, since ancient times, no matter how mediocre the monarch has never done this, no matter what, the old minister resolutely refused."

Zhang Wenguan stood up angrily, you are too unreasonable, it is unreasonable, if she is not the queen, he would have to scold.

Lu Shigua also shook his head and said, "We won't agree." ”

Hao Chujun and Liu Xiangdao expressed their positions one after another, but they did not agree.

Wu Meiniang snorted coldly: "The life and death of Your Majesty's people is not up to you, this matter should be informed to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will decide." ”

"Listen to it!"

Zhang Wen said: "The old minister retired first. ”

With that, he got up and left.

Liu Xiangdao and they also got up one after another and gave up their hands to leave.

It was a strong shaking head and sighing.

Soon, only Han Yi and Wu Meiniang were left in the political hall.

Wu Meiniang glanced at Han Yi and said, "As you wish, I offended them all." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "They are not Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, if they offend once, they will remember it for a lifetime." ”

Wu Meiniang listened to it very unpleasantly, and said, "You mean Sang scolding Huai, right?" ”

Why did she want to rectify Han Yi in the first place, didn't she just offend once.

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The queen misunderstood, I definitely didn't mean Sang scolding Huai, women are careful, I can understand." ”

"It's also... Well? ”

Wu Meiniang suddenly widened her eyes and glared at Han Yi.

Han Yi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The minister has also retired." ”

After saying that, he slipped away.
