Chapter 300 Chapter 16 Court Deliberations (Part II)
The courtiers of the Luzon Islands did not know much about it, but everyone still knew something about the frequent riots in South Vietnam.
However, knowing is knowing, and not saying it is another matter.
South Vietnam is far away from Chang'an, and in the minds of many officials, South Vietnam, like Liuqiu and other places, belongs to the wilderness full of savages, and those who go to become officials naturally bear the responsibility of "education".
However, judging from the results, they did not educate the South Vietnamese well, so they rebelled.
Of course, everyone will not say this kind of thing, in case of being said by a political enemy to say "you can do it", then you may have to leave your hometown and go to a wild place, that is called crying without tears.
What's more, because Li Shimin was expressionless at this time, and everyone didn't know what he was thinking, so at this time, everyone remained silent very tacitly, and the entire court became quiet.
Of course, Li Shimin didn't want to be cold, so he glanced at the court, and then glanced at Li Su, who was standing below.
"Boy, it's up to you!"
When Gao Ming and Li Shimin talked about South Vietnam, Li Su and Li Yun were also present, so after seeing Li Shimin give him a look, Li Su immediately understood what he meant.
"It's my turn!"
After understanding what Li Shimin meant, Li Su, who was originally playing soy sauce, immediately jumped out without hesitation, and then bowed to Li Shimin.
"Enlighten my father, the people of Nanyue have been educated by my Tang Dynasty, but they don't think about revenge, but they have repeatedly made trouble, as the so-called non-our race will have different hearts, and the son suggests that the father and emperor send troops to suppress them, one person will punish ten people, and ten people will destroy the whole clan, only in this way can they know that the Tianwei of my Tang Dynasty can not be offended!"
When he said this, Li Su's impassioned appearance made the eyes of the Manchu civil and military widen.
Is this still King Liang? Why is it so fierce today? It doesn't look right!
Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Li Su couldn't mention how happy he was.
"Haha, this is called Shibei three days to be impressed, you know how good I am, right?"
Seeing Li Yu stand up, Li Yun, as another "insider", was of course not far behind, and immediately stood up.
"Father, son-in-law seconded!"
Li Su and Li Yun's abnormality naturally also attracted the attention of the eldest grandson Wuji, in the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji, these two people are usually the characters of soy sauce and thin mud, but now they are actually taking the lead in this kind of big thing, and as soon as they open their mouths, they are murderous, which is to say that without Li Shimin's consent, he will not believe it!
"Okay, since it's Your Majesty's intention, then I'll also insert a lever!"
Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji also stood up and saluted Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that King Liang and King Jiang are reasonable, the native people of South Vietnam have rebelled many times, and it may be difficult to make them surrender by ordinary means alone, only the combination of grace and power is the best policy!"
As the "first brother" of the court, the words of the eldest grandson Wuji were quite weighty, and as soon as his words fell, the eldest grandson Shunde, Gao Shilian and others immediately stood up to help.
"Lord Eldest Sun's words are reasonable, and Weichen seconded it!"
"Weichen seconded the proposal and implored His Majesty to send troops to suppress the mob!"
"Wechen seconded the ......"
For a time, more than a dozen people supported Li Shimin in sending troops to suppress the rebellion.
After Wen Chen finished his head, it was naturally the turn of the generals, and when he saw that there was a battle, the generals who had not been called to Liuqiu and Luzon Island just now suddenly became excited again, and a burly general immediately stood up.
"Your Majesty, Wechen is willing to lead 30,000 troops to South Vietnam to suppress the mob, and please ask Your Majesty for permission!"
The military general who stood up at this time was none other than the famous Wei Chigong.
As Li Shimin's bodyguard, Wei Chigong is very strong in force, and has saved Li Shimin's life several times, and Li Shimin also attaches great importance to and trusts him.
Wei Chigong is upright by nature, someone once said to Li Shimin that Wei Chigong was going to rebel, and Li Shimin also told Wei Chigong about it, but Wei Chigong blushed with Li Shimin at that time.
"I once followed Your Majesty to fight in all directions, and the scars of swords and bows and arrows left on my body, if you have settled down today, do you begin to suspect that I am going to rebel?"
After saying that, Wei Chigong also took off his clothes and showed the scars on his body to Li Shimin, and after seeing the scars all over Wei Chigong's body, Li Shimin shed tears at that time.
"Jingde, you better put on your clothes, I have never doubted you at all, that's why I will talk to you like this, why are you so angry?"
It can be said that the entire Tang Dynasty dared to go toe-to-toe with Li Shimin, except for Gao Ming, only a few lieutenants were congratulated.
Wei Chigong is five years older than Cheng Yanjin, and now he is nearly sixty years old, and he is already an old man in Datang, where the average age is only fifty years old, so he applied to Li Shimin at the beginning of the year to return to his hometown for the elderly.
But Li Shimin was reluctant to let him go, so he did not agree, and named him the Kaifu Yitong Sansi of Congyipin, and allowed him to go to court once in five days.
To put it bluntly, Wei Chigong's treatment is the same as Gao Ming's, he goes to the court if he wants to, and rests at home if he doesn't want to go, which is a treatment that ordinary officials don't have.
But this time Wei Chigong was very glad that he came, as soon as he heard that there was a battle, he immediately became excited, looking at his excited appearance, Li Shimin immediately laughed.
"Hahahaha, Jingde, I remember that you wrote in February this year that you were going back to your hometown to retire, why do you want to lead the army out again now? Why don't I send someone else! ”
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Wei Chigong suddenly became anxious.
"No, it's ......"
Obviously, Li Shimin was teasing Wei Chi Gong, seeing that he was so anxious, Li Shimin planned to stop in moderation, but before he could speak, a voice sounded below.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin immediately looked at the person who stood up, and his brows immediately furrowed.
"Dare to ask Xiao Servant what he has to say?"
At this time, it was none other than Shangshu Zuo's servant who shot Xiao Yu, seeing Li Shimin's unhappy look, he did not choose to back down, but looked at Li Shimin without showing weakness.
"Your Majesty, as the so-called killing without teaching is abuse, Nanyue now belongs to my Datang, and the people of Nanyue are naturally also the people of my Datang, don't use swords and soldiers, this is not what Renjun did!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, seeing that he did not back down, Li Shimin immediately burst out laughing.
"Renjun? Hahahaha, I am the true dragon son of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Yu, do you know, what is a dragon? ”
"Uh......"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, while Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji, who were standing on the side, laughed, because they had already guessed what Li Shimin was going to say.
