Chapter 635: I've Accepted This Grievance
In terms of great joy, Li Shimin did not lose to Yang Guang at all, and the biggest reason why one of the two became a Ming Jun admired by thousands of people, and the other became a tyrant who was scolded by thousands of people, lies in two words - restraint!
Li Shimin knows that he can restrain himself, and he is willing to listen to the advice of others and make the most reasonable judgment, which is a prerequisite for him as a Ming monarch.
Of course, there is a limit to this restraint, and when he heard that he could double the territory of Datang, he couldn't restrain it!
You must know that expanding the territory is an important step for every emperor to become an "emperor through the ages"!
The most important thing is that if it is according to what Gao Ming said, then he doesn't actually need to pay much price, he only needs to send someone to receive the Tianzhu land laid down by Wang Xuance.
Don't be in vain!
Not only did Li Shimin think so, but when Cheng Yanjin, Li Ji and others came to the imperial study, after reading Wang Xuance's excerpts, the answers they gave were also the same.
Especially Li Ji, after reading the scribbled map drawn by Gao Ming to Li Shimin, he also gave the same suggestion as Gao Ming just now - occupy Tianzhu, devour the surrounding area, surround and eat Tubo, and finally double the land of the Tang Dynasty!
After listening to his advice, the eyes of the generals in the second field were red - if you can really achieve such a record, it is not a dream to be crowned king!
Of course Li Shimin understood their thoughts, but he didn't say anything, but Gao Ming didn't take this into account, and directly said his thoughts.
"Our Datang is very strong, it will be stronger in the future, our land will be so big that you can't imagine it, and as long as the credit is enough, it will be no problem for your uncles to want the position above the national prince!"
Speaking of this, he immediately patted his chest hard.
"My Li Tang royal family has never been mean and unkind, so you don't have to worry about the merits, no matter what kind of merit it is, we can give the corresponding reward, we can give, we dare to give!"
Gao Ming's words contained too many meanings, and they were very amazing, so after hearing his words, everyone present, including Li Shimin, was stunned.
However, Li Shimin was only stunned for a second before reacting, and then slapped the table with a "bang" and laughed.
"Hahaha...... What my eldest man said is right, instead of worrying about the high merit of the master, it is better to worry about your own merit is not enough, as long as you have enough merit, Li Shimin dares to give me any kind of reward, and I can afford it! ”
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the four people present reacted, and then knelt down on one knee towards him.
"I am willing to serve my emperor to the death!"
"Hahahaha......"
See this scene. Li Shimin laughed again, and raised his hand towards the four people in front of him while laughing.
"Okay, get up, there's no time for these false courtesies, before tomorrow morning, I want to see a detailed strategy, within a month, I want to send troops to Tianzhu!"
"Whoa!"
……
After an inspiring episode, everyone's enthusiasm increased a lot, and a heated discussion suddenly began.
Since he couldn't interject, he was relieved to be a puppeteer next to him, but what he didn't expect was that several generals were discussing and discussing, so he was involved.
The reason is very simple, Datang needs a reason to send troops.
From ancient times to the present, between countries and countries, there must be a reason to send troops, otherwise it is not justifiable, and even if the victory is won, it will also end up with a bad reputation.
Moreover, this time the plan was to occupy Tianzhu, then devour the surrounding countries, and finally encircle Tubo and turn it into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
This plan is very good, but if there is no reason to swagger and dispatch a large army against it, the reputation is not good, it is easy to attract the vigilance of neighboring countries, and it may cause great obstacles to the plan at that time.
Therefore, Datang needs a relatively reasonable reason to send troops, and after the deliberations of the generals, they decided to make peace!
Of course, this harmony is not to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu, after all, Tianzhu rebelled because of Alonashun, and the royal family of the Jieri Dynasty was basically killed, and there was no one who could be worthy of the princess of the Tang Dynasty in terms of identity.
For example, in today's orthodox royal family of Zhu, only Princess Lajia Sriri, the sister of the King of the Ring Sun, is left, so the idea of the generals is to let Princess Lagosri marry to the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, this is just an excuse, but this excuse is very important, because Datang can use this excuse to send a huge number of "courtship teams" like Tianzhu!
The grain and grass are disguised as gifts, the elite soldiers are used as escorts, and the ordinary soldiers are disguised as people, so that hundreds of thousands of troops can swagger and enter Tianzhu in a grand manner.
And in order to give such a large welcoming team a reasonable reason for existence, Gao Ming, the prince, needs to appear.
You must know that the highest status in the entire Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin's emperor, followed by Gao Ming, the crown prince, so only the two of them can marry each other, so they can use such a large welcoming team.
Li Shimin is definitely not good, after all, the age difference between his Princess Raga Sri is too big, and he cherishes his reputation very much, so this time the candidate for harmony has become Gao Ming.
It is claimed that the prince of the Tang Dynasty likes beautiful women, and he heard that Princess Laga Sri of Tianzhu is beautiful, so he sent a courtship team to Tianzhu to ask for marriage.
At that time, if Princess Laga Sri agrees, then she will marry into the Tang Dynasty, and those courtship teams will stay in Tianzhu to "help" Princess Laga Sri to manage Tianzhu, and by the way, hit the surrounding countries that are "unfriendly" to Tianzhu.
A few years later, Princess Raga Sri and Gao Ming, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, have a son and a half daughter, then this child will become the new king of the Tianzhu Ring Dynasty.
This is the ultimate plan of the generals!
Of course, if Princess Raja Sri doesn't agree, it doesn't matter, when the time comes, just find the daughter of a big noble family and support her to become the new princess.
Although this is a little more troublesome, it has little impact on the plan, at most it only takes a little more time, and the original plan can still be carried out!
After listening to this "careful plan", Gao Ming was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
"The plan worked, but you sold me like that? What if that Princess Raja Sri is ugly? ”
Facing Gao Ming's worries, Li Shimin suddenly patted him on the shoulder with a solemn face.
"Da Lang, for the sake of my great cause of the Tang Dynasty, what is a little grievance? At the beginning, I was forced by Najieli to form the Weishui Alliance, and the humiliation in my heart was much more than if you married a foreign woman...... That's right! ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly took out another scroll from behind him and handed it to Gao Ming.
"This is also sent by Wang Xuance, saying that it is the portrait of Princess Naraga Sriri, I didn't have time to open it, she will be your side concubine in the future, you can take it and take a look!"
"Uh......"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming suddenly took the scroll with some trepidation, and then carefully unfolded it.
However, when he saw the portrait in the scroll, his eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately closed the scroll, and then looked at Li Shimin with a serious face.
"I decided, for the sake of Datang's great cause, I have suffered this little grievance!"
