Chapter 82: War and Peace
Li Siyuan stood on top of the hall with his head down, and after a long time, there was still no movement in the hall, he raised his head anxiously and looked at Li Shimin above, only to see that Li Shimin was also frowning and looking at himself.
"Your Majesty?" Li Siyuan cautiously asked, "Was what Wei Chen said just now too radical?" Wechen will take it back, and ask Your Majesty to calm his anger 1"
"Do you know the weight of your words?" Li Shimin did not answer Li Siyuan's question directly, but asked him a question instead!
"Wechen knows 1"
"You know how dare you talk nonsense? Do you know that if my Datang really does what you said, how many innocent soldiers will die in battle every year, and how many people will be displaced and homeless because of the spread of war? Li Shimin said to Li Siyuan as if he was questioning and questioning.
"These motes are understood!" Li Siyuan replied calmly: "But throughout the history of our Han people, no matter what price our Han people pay for peace, it will only make those outsiders feel that our Han people are weak, so they will make some demands!" ”
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Li Shimin above, and found that there was no anger on his face, so he boldly said: "Your Majesty, although my Tang Dynasty is not the strongest country now, but internally, we have Ming Jun, virtuous ministers, and externally, we have a hundred battles of lions and a number of victorious generals, just Hu people, why be afraid?!" ”
"Well said!" Cheng Yanjin, who was standing on the side, shouted, which startled Li Siyuan: "What the virtuous nephew said is right, if you want to fight, you can fight, the most important thing in my Datang is a hot-blooded man!" ”
"Cheng Biting Jin, shut up!" Li Shimin, who was also taken aback, said hatefully: "Old horseman, you are brave and strategic, retreat quickly!" After scolding Cheng for biting gold, Li Shimin said to Li Siyuan again: "You go on, I will consider it at my discretion!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Li Siyuan said respectfully: "Actually, what General Cheng said is not wrong, if you want to fight me, you will fight, if you commit my Tang Dynasty, although you are far away, you will be punished, and if you disturb my people, you will be slaughtered!" That's what Wechen suggests! ”
"You also said just now, my Datang is not the strongest country now, wouldn't it be self-defeating to do so?" Li Shimin looked at Li Siyuan suspiciously, he knew that although this kid was young, he was not a reckless person!
"Yes, Your Majesty! My Datang is not the strongest country now, but it will definitely be in the future! As long as we develop from multiple directions such as military, industry, commerce and agriculture at the same time, we will definitely be able to become the strongest empire in the surrounding areas in the short term, Your Majesty should not forget our *, as long as we use it properly, we will definitely be able to make the four seas surrender and the eight directions are the masters! ”
"The four seas surrender, the eight directions are the ......." Li Shimin muttered to himself, constantly chanting these eight big characters! Every emperor of all dynasties and dynasties did not want to do these eight words, Li Shimin is an ambitious place, his ambitions and ideals are very comparable, these eight words are full of temptation for him!
"Hahaha.....!" Li Shimin laughed wildly: "Okay, well, from now on, no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the death of the king is the national motto of my Tang Dynasty, if you offend my Tang Dynasty, although you are far away, you will be punished, disturb my people, and even if you are strong, you will be slaughtered is the slogan of my big * team!" ”
"Your Majesty, no!" As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Wei Zheng hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, my country is a civilized country and a country of etiquette, how can I be so barbaric and rude?" This is contrary to the teachings of the sages! ”
"Old Pifu Wei!" Cheng Yanjin couldn't hold back for a while, and stood up again: "You talk to those Hu people about etiquette and rules, they don't understand this, is it possible that when they cut us with knives, we still have to laugh and explain the Four Books and Five Classics to them, and civilized etiquette is not possible?" ”
"They don't understand, we can teach them, and if we're like them, aren't we barbarians?" After Wei Zheng stared at the two big-eyed beads and finished speaking, he fell to his knees with a thud: "Please take back your order, my Datang should not only know how to fight like those Hu people, Your Majesty should know that although the country is strong, the warlike will die!" ”
What Wei Zheng said was not unreasonable, so Li Shimin also hesitated, and when Li Siyuan saw this, he hurriedly said: "Lord Wei, we are not the fathers of those Hu people, why do we want to teach them the truth of being a human being?" ”
Li Siyuan's words immediately attracted laughter from the whole house, only to make Wei Zheng's beard tremble with anger, and he kowtowed, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”
Seeing this, some of the civil servants behind him also knelt on the ground and shouted: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”
As the head of the Wenchen, the eldest grandson Wuji, frowned, looked at the scene in front of him, and after thinking for a long time, he also knelt down: "Your Majesty, this big cake painted by Li Xianhou is indeed tempting, but to make this big cake, it will cost countless manpower and material resources, this is a move to work the people and lose money, Your Majesty think twice!"
The eldest grandson Wuji has always been Li Shimin's confidant, and even he stood up to stop him at this time, which made Li Shimin a little undecided! Seeing this, Li Siyuan secretly exclaimed, if he wants to turn Datang into what he imagined, how could it be possible without a dose of fierce medicine? He hurriedly followed the words of the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "I don't know if you have ever heard the saying that war stops war and war is nourished by war?" Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that only countries that can't fight will get poorer and poorer, and countries that can fight will get stronger and stronger, how can this be a move to work the people and lose money? ”
"Yellow-mouthed child. Myths confuse the public! Wei Zheng was furious, got up from the ground, and raised the Beban in his hand to hit Li Siyuan with his head and face: "Today I will definitely beat you, a traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people, to death in this hall!" ”
Seeing that Wei Zheng was really angry, Li Siyuan hurriedly ran towards the general, and for a while the hall was very lively, only you are you so angry that his hands trembled, he slapped the desk heavily and shouted: "Stop it, do you still have the emperor in your eyes?" Dare to say on the Taiji Hall that you will do it, what kind of system! ”
As soon as Li Shimin's Wang Ba anger came out, a large piece of black pressure suddenly fell down in the Taiji Palace, and he took a few breaths, and Li Shimin said angrily: "Today's matter, let's stop it for the time being, and discuss it another day!" Wei Zheng and Li Siyuan have no eyes on the king, and they will be fined for half a year! Alright, all stand down! ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, all the courtiers retreated in fright, only one Li Siyuan followed behind the large army, shouting grievances in his heart, he didn't beat anyone, he didn't even fight back, he would be punished, it was really unreasonable!
