Chapter 57 Foreign Policy

A few plates of cold dishes and braised vegetables plus a large bowl of porridge were brought to His Majesty Li Er, looking at His Majesty Li Er with a slight smile, and said, "Eat, sir, this is the best delicious set meal for your son to prepare in summer." ”

"Get out." His Majesty Li Er said angrily with a smile on his face.

Listening to the footsteps behind him, Li Shen turned around, looked at Li Ji and Niu Jinda walking in, and said, "You guys have calculated the time to come, right?" ”

"King Chengtian is really joking." Li Ji said with a smile, but he didn't run over after calculating the time, so not only did he solve the problem, but he could also eat a delicious meal, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "Sit down." He scolded Li Shen: "Don't hurry up and bring the food." ”

"Immediately, Cheng Chumo and they are on their way here, aren't you afraid that you will be hungry, I hurriedly sent it to you." Li Shen said helplessly.

Li Ji and Niu Jinda shook their heads with a smile.

On the dinner table, everyone is not used to talking about things, eating without speaking, this fine like is still loyally supported by everyone, even in the homes of ordinary people, but such as banquets and happy events These places are different, Li Shen likes this feeling of quiet eating very much.

"By the way, Uncle Li, has Gao Jianjun been recruited?" Li Shen watched everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and asked Li Ji.

"Recruited, there are about 40,000 people in total, all of them went out through the back door of this palace, and Gao Jianjun is left alone, he knows that if he runs away, we will definitely chase him, so he stayed, or a step too late." Li Ji replied.

Li Shen smiled and said, "These people are delusional that they can make a comeback. ”

It's a little whimsical, these sticks really think that he has no backhand, but fortunately, he directly arranged for Su Dingfang to lead the troops out, if he meets him, it is estimated that these people will not have a way to live.

The 30,000 people led by Su Dingfang are all young and strong, and they have all experienced wars, basically they can be regarded as veterans, and they also have their own means to save their lives on the battlefield.

It's really a bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die, and if you stay here, you may still be able to have a way to live, but if you run away, I'm afraid you won't even have a way to live.

Li Ji nodded with a smile and said, "I'm afraid I have this plan." ”

"Father, what are you going to do with Gao Jianjun?" Li Shen asked.

"What do you mean?" His Majesty Li Er asked rhetorically.

"Not for the time being, how to say that Gao Jianjun is also the lord of a country in Goryeo, and he still has some prestige among the people, and now I am afraid that killing it will cause a more powerful backlash from the people of Goryeo, I am too wide towards the border, if these people flee to my territory in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid it will be a disaster for the people." Li Shen replied.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Shen with a slight surprise and said, "I thought I only knew how to kill." ”

"Besides, your son is such a person in your heart?" Li Shen asked angrily.

"So far, it's pretty much the same." His Majesty Li Er replied.

Li Shen coughed slightly, he was really unacceptable to His Majesty Li Er like this for a while, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.

Since Li Shen came to Datang, every step has been thinking about how to go, Xiao Xiaoyiyi, for fear that if he makes a mistake, he will enter the realm of no return, during this time, he has also developed a habit of taking into account the consequences he is about to face and how to deal with everything he does.

As for how to do it, to prevent the displaced people from endangering the people of Datang, he also considered that those who really went to Datang for refuge would not be chaotic, and they were afraid that they would provoke national hatred among the entire Goryeo people, after all, angry youth also have in every era, not to mention that today's sense of national belonging is much stronger than that of modern people.

In the minds of the people of Goryeo today, the Tang Dynasty is the invader, the puppeteer who destroys their stable life, if Gao Jianjun is really killed, then the whole Goryeo will be in a mess, and it is very likely that there will be no disturbance to the people.

Supporting the puppets, directly elevating the rights of Gao Jianjun, and making Goryeo continue to have civil strife, Su Dingfang disguised himself as a bandit in the back, wantonly killing the people, and let the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty disguise themselves as Goryeo soldiers to pretend to arrest, forcibly levy various taxes, and increase the burden on the Goryeo people, It will not take long for the people of Goryeo to pick up hoes and resist.

Li Shen doesn't have any long-term considerations now, his current idea is to eliminate the countries around Datang as soon as possible, so that there is no longer the slightest hidden danger in the Datang frontier, as for the longer-term idea, it is not something he can consider at present, after all, if he does not ascend to the position of the crown prince for a day, it is inevitable that thinking so much is just a vain.

Li Shen said what he thought in his heart, after all, he was not born to play political conspiracy, and he could only say a rough idea, how to do it specifically, it still needs to be carefully discussed by His Majesty Li Er and the ministers, as for whether he does it or not, it has nothing to do with him, he can only say that he will do his best, if not, he will not be reluctant, after all, he is not living for others, for the nation, and his consciousness is not so high.

Li Shen stood up and said, "Father, you talk slowly, I'll go to sleep, it's really trapped me." ”

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Shen's disappearing figure, and said to Li Ji, Niu Jinda and the others: "You have also heard the words of King Chengtian, what do you think?" ”

Li Ji smiled and said: "The minister absolutely agrees with King Chengtian's opinion, if you want the Tang Frontier to be safe forever, you can only completely eliminate these people, just think about King Chengtian, if the Han Dynasty completely wiped out the tribes on the grassland, what happened later would not have happened, and my Han family would not have been innocently buried so much." ”

"The minister also agrees, even if he creates a big sin, the minister is willing to bear it, in order to give future generations a stable environment, these things are nothing to the minister." Niu Jinda said.

"Uncle Huang, I feel that the eldest brother is reasonable, why do you say that we are wary of the people in the frontier every year? It's not all those puppies who want to plunder our wealth, if we don't kill them all this time, it's useless to just teach them a lesson, and if you kill them directly, you can get rid of the troubles forever, anyway, I feel that what my eldest brother says makes sense now. Li Chongyi said, touching Li Jingheng beside him with his hand, and cast a threatening look.

"Uncle Huang, I feel that what the eldest brother said is also reasonable, and I also agree with the eldest brother's opinion." Li Jingheng said in a low voice.
