Chapter 60: The Controversy of the Court and the Dignity of the State (II)
In all dynasties, all the emperors who sat on the throne, which one did not have the ambition to dominate the world? Yuan Jie also wants to be able to gallop the field in his lifetime, dominate the world, and let his celebrities remain for eternity.
Yuan Jie, who sat on the dragon chair, was more inclined to the generals' statement in his heart, and he also wanted the soldiers to be able to play the ambition of the Great Yuan after the beginning of the spring, and fight the Turks to take a bad breath for themselves, but the reality is just as the civil officials said, due to the perennial war, the treasury has just had a little savings, and the people finally have a peaceful day, I am afraid that it is not easy to start a war as the civil officials said.
Yuan Jie looked at the ministers below as if they had been stepped on their tails, standing in the hall with red necks and throats, arguing with each other, he felt a headache, is there no way to get the best of both worlds.
Chen Yi stood unobtrusively, looking at the civil and military officials beside him. Just like the aunts in the vegetable market in the previous life, they quarreled non-stop, and gave them a contemptuous look deeply, secretly thinking in their hearts what role their quarrels could play, but in the end, it was not a fart that could not be used.
Yuan Jie not only kept sweeping over the ministers' bodies, but suddenly saw his nephew. He was pouting, standing behind the court, his eyes glancing between the civil and military officials. From time to time, he also cast a contemptuous gaze, at first Emperor Yuanjie thought that he was dazzled, and while the ministers were not paying attention, he secretly rubbed his eyes, he was not mistaken, his nephew's eyes were indeed full of contempt when he looked at them.
"Don't quarrel" Emperor Yuanjie became more and more in a bad mood the more he listened, and he was upset and stopped the ministers in the main hall, and after calming down, he said in a deep voice: "I am asking you to discuss a countermeasure together, not to see you wait in the palace to quarrel non-stop." ”
"Is the military department still available?"
"Your Majesty, the minister is here." A man in his fifties stood up and replied respectfully.
"Tell me first, do you support war or peace?"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate for us to carry out after the beginning of spring, for the following two reasons, the two armies are fighting, and the grain and grass go first. Now that the road is closed by heavy snow, the cost of grain and grass on the way is too great; 2. We do not yet have a cavalry comparable to the Turkic combat power, and if the Turkic cavalry takes the opportunity to sneak attack the frontier, I am afraid that it will cause heavy casualties among the common people; 3. Once the war starts in the spring, my Dayuan must achieve a great victory, if Goryeo secretly takes the opportunity to raid our Dayuan, my Dayuan will be attacked by the enemy and shake the foundation of my Dawei, it is better to seek peace in the spring and stabilize the Turks first. ”
Do you make peace if you don't fight? Is there no way? Chen Yi thought secretly in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the military department is reasonable, it is better for us to be friendly, in ceding some cities close to the Turkic territory, and making some corresponding compensation, we can recuperate and wait for the opportunity. Chenyuan went to the Turks and personally negotiated with the Turkic king. ”
"Harmony, ceding land...... Yuan Datou's heart continued to struggle, and he had to admit that this was the best way to solve the problem at present, but he was still unwilling, at this time, Yuan Datou, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had gradually tilted the balance in his heart towards the Lord and the faction.
Chen Yi listened to the countermeasures of the ministers in the main hall, if he sued for peace, how would the soldiers who sacrificed on the front line turn a blind eye, what he couldn't accept was that he wanted peace and sent land and food and money, not to mention, but also sent women to the hands of the Turks for their fun, once these women fell into the hands of the Turks, they were afraid that they would live in darkness forever for the rest of their lives, and they would never see a little light again, no, there must be a way to do it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already married the eldest princess Yuan Wenfei to the Auxiliary Prince, and the other princesses are older, do you have a way?"
"Your Majesty, the minister remembers Lord Luo, the prince of the auxiliary country, there is a beloved daughter named Luo Xiaodie, people say that this girl is good-looking, shy of flowers in the closed moon, sinking fish and geese, with a world-famous face, the age has just turned sixteen, the minister thinks that His Majesty might as well accept her as a righteous daughter, canonize her as a princess, and let her replace ......"
"Feng Jun is arrogant, don't deceive people too much." After Luo Pengfei heard Feng Junao's suggestion to His Majesty, he was furious, if he hadn't been able to do it in the main hall, he was afraid that he wouldn't have known his mother for a long time.
"Auxiliary Prince. Don't you want to share your worries? Feng Junao looked at Luo Pengfei with a provocative gaze and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Minister"
"Let me think about it." Before Luo Pengfei's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yuan Jie, so he had to hold his fists tightly, secretly anxious but there was no way to do it.
"Under the wind, I am extremely impressed, and I admire the five-body cast." Chen Yi bent down proudly in the face of the wind and performed a deep etiquette.
"Your Majesty, a gentleman's friend, arrogant, believe in our Dayuan, a few more ministers like Lord Xiangfeng, our wise Majesty is afraid that he will never be good for war again." Chen Yi said meaningfully.
The rest of the officials heard each other looking at each other behind them, and they didn't understand which one Chen Yi was singing.
"Where, where, you're exalting me too much."
Luo Pengfei, who was standing on the side of the main hall, was very disappointed and sad in his heart, could it be that Chen Yi also wanted to stand on the side of Feng Junao?
"I really admire Lord Feng's backbone, remembering that in previous years, the Turks attacked my Dayuan City, killed my Dayuan soldiers and civilians, and seized the property of my Dayuan people, why didn't I see Lord Feng go to the early Turks, so why don't I talk about it?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Feng is really good to Your Majesty, even if the Turks have burned and killed the soldiers and civilians of the ** Great Yuan, even if the soldiers in front of them died on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather, and buried their bones in other places, our Lord Feng still has to make peace, cut land, pay compensation, and curry favor with the Turks."
"You ......"
"Your Majesty, if we can't defeat even a single Turk, how can our Dayuan rule the world, if we can make the Turks retreat, what do we want those troops and generals to do Even if we compromise this time, cut the land, make peace, and compensate, we can avoid war, I think the Turkic people with wolf ambitions have long regarded our Dayuan as a mouthful of fat. It's just that they can't swallow us in one bite, and when they are strong, let alone marry a princess, I'm afraid how many princesses will not be used at that time, and when they destroy our Dayuan, they can get everything, and when that time comes, tens of thousands of our Dayuan people will become slaves of the country, and then we will be sinners for the ages. ”
"Your Majesty, can you give the minister a glass of water?" Chen Yi had already had a dry mouth, and when he ran out of water, he saw that the teacup was a high-quality tribute, so he secretly carried it in his arms.
"Your Majesty, what should come will always come, we can't escape, the minister always believes that our monarchs and ministers are united, and the people of the whole world will work together with us, no matter how big the air crash is, we can get through."
"There are many reasons to win a war, the right time, place and people are indispensable, we don't lack everything, how can we not defeat the Turks, if we don't fight at this time, when will we wait? If we don't fight, where will the dignity of our country be? ”
"That's right, the old man didn't misunderstand you." Pei Jiuchuan said with relief.
"What is the dignity of the nation?" Yelu Churen asked.
"Lord Jerod, in my opinion, the dignity of the kingdom is"
Chen Yi paused and said impassionedly: "The prince guards the country, and the king dies, which is the dignity of the country." ”
"It's a good sentence, the prince guards the country, and the king dies, it's good, in my opinion, I have to add a few words."
"In my opinion, the dignity of the country is that there is no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies! The stomach is the dignity of the country. Emperor Yuanjie slowly opened his eyes and stood up excitedly, convinced by Chen Yi's words, he didn't expect his nephew to always surprise him. Not only did their blood boil when they heard these words, but the officials clenched their fists excitedly, and their faces were flushed. The officials who originally proposed to make peace bowed their heads in shame at this time.
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." The sound filled the entire Tai Chi Hall and spread far, far away.
