Tai Chi Palace! The pinnacle of power!

The guards verified Luo Tong's identity, and one of them led him to the land of the early dynasty.

Eight years after being reborn, Luo Tong stepped into it for the first time!

Everything here is full of novelty for him, and he can't stop glancing at it all the way.

The grandeur of the Taiji Palace was beyond his expectations, and compared with the Forbidden City in his memory, he found that the Forbidden City was really weak.

In fact, the predecessor of Taiji Palace is the Daxing Palace of the Sui Dynasty, presided over the construction by the architect Yu Wenkai, strict planning of brick and tile, extremely exquisite, majestic, nearly six Forbidden City size, its majesty can be imagined.

Luo Tong didn't wait long at the door before he got Jinmi's order!

He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and stepped in with his head held high in front of everyone's eyes!

"Luo Tong greets Your Majesty!" Luo Tong walked towards Li Shimin and bowed deeply!

The Tang Dynasty did not kneel, as a son of man, he only knelt to heaven and earth and his parents, and he only needed to bow when he met the emperor. Even standing salutes are not prevalent here. Regardless of the size of the position, as long as there is a seat in the court. However, when talking to the emperor, the courtiers need to stand up and answer as a sign of respect.

"Flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Tong secretly glanced at Li Shimin! Li Shimin is not very old, between thirty, and his bronze handsome face is as angular as a knife and axe. What is particularly impressive is that the eyes, bright and clear, flashing with dazzling luster, like lightning, a long black and shiny hair, with a crown, and the rest of the hair draped over the shoulders, with the ability and bearing of Ruoyuan to stop Yuezhi, but it makes people feel convinced.

Li Shimin was also looking at Luo Tong, he saw that Luo Tong was long and jade, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although he was wearing a cloth coat, like a woodcutter dressed up, but along the rising sun, he was like a jade tree in the wind, and he had a simple and fresh bearing.

The whole face reveals a kind of feminine beauty. However, it gives people a feeling of coldness and slaughter.

He is introverted, his eyes are spirited, calm and relaxed, and he did not show any nervous curiosity because he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, let alone worry about his unknown fate, and he also secretly admired his indifferent cold demeanor.

"What a young hero!" Li Shimin praised with a smile, and then said loudly: "Shixin only relies on two hundred elites, and two hundred soldiers!" Defend the dilapidated water-soaked town. You're a great kid! At a young age, the Turks were stirred into a pot of porridge, green out of the blue and blue in the blue, much more powerful than us! ”

Li Shimin is undoubtedly a politician in life, whether he wants it or not, whether it is contrived or what: he really did not put on a little bit of the Tang Emperor's shelf.

Luo Tong didn't eat his set, and said seriously: "Your Majesty praises, I just did what a Tang Dynasty disciple can do, and it is far inferior to Your Majesty and the generals." However, compared to those who led the Tang Dynasty and worked for the Turks, I think I am ten thousand times stronger. ”

Li Shimin seemed to be very interested, and asked: "Who do you refer to 'the person who led the Tang Dynasty and did things for the Turks'?" ”

"Naturally, they want to sacrifice me to the Turks." Luo Tong said eloquently: "I killed the Turks, thanks to the Tang Dynasty and the society!" However, some people want to dedicate their heroes to the Turks, isn't this 'leading the Tang Dynasty to do things for the Turks'? The person they want to sell this time is me, and the next time they sell should be Li Jing, the governor of Lingzhou, Li Ji, the governor of Lingzhou, and Zhang Gongjin, the acting governor of Lingzhou. Again, I'm afraid it's Your Majesty. ”

In his remarks, the spearhead was directed at the faction that persuaded Li Shimin to compromise.

"Luo Gongzi knows! Country-to-country affairs. The lives of thousands of people are at stake, how can they lose big because of a small one? When the war between the two countries starts, how many Baixin will fall into the war, how many soldiers will die in the war, and how many human tragedies will be caused, I don't know if Luo Gongzi has ever thought about this? ”

At this moment, there was a flurry of people in the hall.

When Li Shimin heard this voice, he felt a big headache.

Luo Tong looked for prestige, but the person who spoke was a seventy-year-old man, full of white hair but crane hair and childish face, looking very energetic.

"Are you ......?" Luo Tong couldn't help but ask.

As soon as Luo Tong's words came out, some people in the court couldn't help laughing.

"The eldest nephew, his name is Xu Kuang, and he is your father's captive. It is also he who advocates the sacrifice of you to the Turks. It was Cheng Yanjin who spoke, he was somewhat similar to the film and television image, sturdy and burly, the knotted muscles hidden under the well-fitting clothes, full of absolutely explosive power, his rough face was full of pitch-black and stiff short beards, and a pair of tiger eyes were exposed in the hairy manner, and the whole thing was the shape of Zhang Fei. It's just that if you look closely, if you don't have that layer of beard to cover it, you still have a bit of a beautiful man's style.

Luo Tong suddenly realized and said: "I see, no wonder you want to sacrifice me to the Turks." ”

Xu Kuang's old face instantly turned the color of pig liver.

He is one of the most famous Confucians of our time, and Dou Wei, Yang Xuangan, and Li Mi are all great figures in the late Sui Dynasty who studied Confucianism under him.

In troubled times, he was captured by Li Mi and Wang Shichongsheng successively, because his prestige in Confucianism was too high, and both of them respected him very much. Xu Wenyuan was the official of the two, but he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to scold the two of them for being anti-thieves. The two of them are annoyed, out of sight and out of mind.

Li Tang and Zheng, for the official and honest Xu Wenyuan, personally went out to collect firewood for domestic use, and was captured alive by Luo Shixin.

Xu Wenyuan strongly advocated the sacrifice of Luo Tong, but it was not a personal vendetta!

Just let Cheng bite the gold a little, Luo Tong said that he became a villain with a personal vendetta.

Xu Wenyuan said with patience: "There is an old saying: the light of the two disadvantages is balanced, and the weight of the two benefits is the heavier. Raising up a war in vain will ruin lives and harm countless lives. ”

Luo Tong pretended to be dazed and frowned: "I know how much you read and how highly educated you are, but I am just an illiterate scholar who doesn't understand any nonsense." Even if you want to preach, can you say something to someone I can understand? ”

“……”

Once again, a word hit the death hole, and Xu Wenyuan opened his mouth. The tirades that have been sorted out are completely useless. The other party directly stated that he did not understand.

Sell it again. Don't you seem to be funny! Facing Luo Tong, he suddenly found that his reasoning was completely useless, and he coughed dryly before he said: "The old man said that the mistakes made by Luo Gongzi should be borne by himself, instead of letting Datang bear the risk of the Turks going south." ”

Luo Tong rolled his eyes and said: "Abandon the little self and fulfill the big me, right?" ”

Xu Wenyuan praised: "That's right! ”

Luo Tong thought for a while and said, "I want to tell you one thing, aside from my incident in the Turks, am I a citizen of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Xu Wenyuan said: "Naturally! ”

"Have I violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Never!"

"Since you are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty and do not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, should the state protect this kind of people?"

"Exactly!"

"Then why do you want me, a kind little common man, to die?"

"......" Xu Wenyuan was dumbfounded, he really hadn't studied this question, and he was embarrassed and couldn't answer.

Li Shimin was happy to watch a good show on the sidelines, and he wished that someone would find fault with Xu Wenyuan. It's not that he can't listen to his opinions, it's just that he really doesn't like Xu Wenyuan's pedantic people who can't say it, and will only kidnap him with benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Offering the children of martyrs to the enemy is no different from betraying the country to seek glory, if he really does that, more than half of the military generals in the court will be separated from him, so Li Shimin will not do such a stupid thing.

It's just that there are too many pedantic people in the court, and in desperation, Luo Tong came to defend in person. Even if he can't reply, he will unite a group of henchmen to force this matter!

But Xu Wenyuan, who can speak well, can't say Luo Tong, this kid is sharp-tongued, and he can't get Xu Wenyuan out of it in just a few words!

If it is in the future generations, Li Shimin will be even more eager to give Luo Tong thirty-two likes.

Only Luo Tongyou didn't think so, and still said to himself: "Your Majesty! I have found that many people do not have the spirit of being in the country of the subjects of a great country! ”

Li Shimin asked with interest: "Oh? What is the spirit of a great power? ”

The Manchu civil and military were also listening.

"The spirit of a great country: it is a kind of courage to dare to act and never admit defeat; It is a kind of overwhelming and overwhelming force; It is a kind of courage that makes the enemy fearful and fills the people of the world with confidence. ”

"The spirit of a great country has nothing to do with the size of the country and the number of people, but is a spirit of victory, with this spirit of the country and the nation, in the face of a strong opponent, knowing that they are invincible, but also dare to resolutely show their swords, even if they fall, they will become a mountain, a ridge! What awe-inspiring, what determination, what pleasure, what courage! ”

Luo Tong's words were loud and moving.

Most of the ministers in the court made his blood boil, and most of them stood up in unison and said, "The ministers swear not to share the sky with them!" ”

These people include Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and a group of heavyweights.

Their shouts shook the entire Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin's expression was moved, his face flushed in an instant, and his heart sprouted the pride of being invincible in the world, and he couldn't help it, and he raised his head and smiled: "Well said!" Each of us must always cherish the spirit of a great country with courage, strength and courage! ”

"Li Tang in the troubled times is by no means the most powerful force! But Li Tang trampled the original powerhouses under his feet one after another, what did he rely on? It is this spirit of not giving up and not giving up! ”

"I have lived in the Turks for more than two months, and I know better than many people that the Turks are powerful and the Turks are terrible. In all fairness, the current strength of the Tang Dynasty is not enough to confront the Turks head-on. ”

Li Shimin also sighed, Luo Tong said the truth. The confrontation between the two countries is about logistics, and the world is still in ruins, and it is really difficult to support a war with the Turks.

"However, none of this is scary, what is really scary is our own ......"

Luo Tong patted his chest and said highly: "A small group of people were broken by the Turks, and as soon as they heard that the Turks had sent envoys, they looked forward and backwards, feared, and groveled, and they couldn't wait to step forward and call 'Dad'!" This is a kind of humble mentality that slaves are accustomed to, and how does this mentality, which I call '*****servile nature', come about? Chao Qin and Twilight, I am used to surrendering and surrendering! ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Anyone who knew Luo Xu Wenyuan's life experience couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xu Wenyuan also felt that Luo Tong was intentionally targeted, and his old face was blue.

Li Shimin looked at Luo Tong strangely and felt that he was too bad, but thinking about it, it was also meaningful!
