Chapter 541: The Turks retreated
On the banks of the Weishui River, Qin Tian handed over the revised list to Li Shimin.
This time, the list is written in kanji.
Li Shimin took it and took a look, indeed, there is no clause for losing power and humiliating the country, at most it is just to lose some money, of course, the Turks are willing to withdraw their troops, and they will lose a lot of money, but this is indeed the best result for him.
They did not have the strength to fight, and now it is the best choice to use money to retreat from the Turks.
Although, it still makes people feel ashamed.
But shame can make people forge ahead.
Li Shimin nodded after reading it: "Qin Aiqing has done a good job, I have agreed to these requests of the Turks, and I can contact them and let them withdraw from the army." ”
The people returned to the camp, and then someone approached the Turks, of course, and gave them boxes and boxes of goods.
After the Turkic soldiers and horses got the money and signed the Weishui Alliance with Li Shimin, they didn't stay long, and hurriedly retreated in the direction of the steppe.
There is no way, there may still be a Tang army slaughtering their people on the grassland, and they must rush back as soon as possible.
The Turks retreated from the banks of the Weishui River, and the Tang army did not dare to be careless, until they withdrew from the boundary of Jingzhou, Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief and led his soldiers and horses back to Chang'an.
At this time, Chang'an City had already learned the news of the Turkic retreat.
Therefore, although they knew that Datang had lost a lot of money, there was still a hint of a smile on their nervous faces.
The people did not know the shame of the country, and they did not need to know it.
However, when Li Shimin returned to the palace with everyone and came to the main hall, the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn, and every official's face was full of unwillingness.
This time, although they forced the Turks back, because they compensated them with money, it was a shame for them.
The hall was silent for a long time, and after a long time, Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Shengshang, the Turks deceived me in the Tang Dynasty, this humiliation must not be forgotten. ”
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly shouted loudly: "Destroy the Turks, shame on you." ”
"Destroy the Turks, shame before the snow."
“…………”
The shouts resounded in the sky, and every courtier in the hall felt as if their blood was burning, and the fighting spirit inspired by the shame made them unable to control it at all.
Li Shimin looked at the excited Manchu civil and military forces, couldn't help but stand up from the dragon chair, and said: "You Aiqing have this heart, and I am willing to work together with you to destroy the Turks." ”
"Destroy the Turks, destroy the Turkic ......"
Here in the main hall, there was another shout, the harem, the eldest grandson empress's expression was a little worried, she hadn't seen Li Shimin for a long time, but she also knew that her man was doing big things, and she shouldn't bother.
Hearing the shouts in the main hall, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but sigh again.
"To be able to make the ministers so indignant, I am afraid that the Turks are willing to withdraw this time, and the conditions are very excessive, this Tang Dynasty ......" Empress Changsun couldn't help but worry again.
"Queen Mother, what you said is right, the conditions of the Turks are very excessive, and almost all of our Datang treasury has been emptied, just like that, we have to give them a lot of money every year."
A maid heard some news from the front, and when Empress Changsun heard this, she frowned slightly, she knew that the Tang Dynasty had entered a period of extreme hardship.
"Order, from today onwards, all the things needed for the harem will be halved, save money, and go to the national disaster together!"
As the master of the harem, Empress Changsun felt that she had to do something, Datang, not a man's Datang, but also their woman's Datang.
-------------------
Just when Empress Changsun instructed the harem women to be thrifty in spending, the main hall finally slowly regained its composure.
"What you Aiqing said makes sense, but if you want to destroy the Turks, you must strengthen my Tang Dynasty, what is your good plan for this?" Li Shimin was still standing, and he looked at His Highness and the ministers and said.
It's just that although everyone felt angry because of the shame, when they really asked them to say some good strategies to strengthen Datang, it made them a little hindered in their thinking.
Not everyone is able to come up with a lot of good policies and ideas.
Maybe they are all capable of these people, but in order to have a good policy, they must have amazing people to stand up.
The main hall fell silent, Qin Tian stood at the back of the main hall, hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up: "Holy Lord, the minister has something to say." ”
As a Hou Ye, Qin Tian is not standing in front now, after he said this, Li Shimin stood on tiptoe and glanced at it, only to find that it was Qin Tian, he nodded and said, "Come forward and say." ”
Qin Tian stepped forward, and after standing still, he said: "Holy Lord, if you want to strengthen my Tang Dynasty, the minister has one or two thoughts and wants to speak." ”
Li Shimin nodded: "Qin Aiqing said it!" ”
Qin Tiandao: "Shengshang, if you want to strengthen my Datang, you need to start from several aspects, first, it is talents, without talents, all kinds of things in my Datang will not be able to develop, it is necessary to recruit talents and use them for the saints." ”
Speaking of this, Qin Tian paused, and Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, talent is the foundation of a strong country, without talent, everything is empty talk." ”
Qin Tian nodded and continued: "Originally, this spring was going to take the spring exam, but because of the smallpox raging, it was postponed, and later because the Turks were directly approaching Weishui, and the exam was not completed during this time. ”
After saying this, many ministers of the DPRK and China agreed one after another and followed suit.
"Holy Lord, what Marquis Qin said is right, it is true that there should be an additional exam as soon as possible, so that it can not only select talents for my Datang, but also appease the arrogant hearts of those scholars."
"Yes, because of the postponement of the Spring Festival exam, now those scholars and scholars have great complaints, and they are all worried about whether our Datang Dynasty really wants to cancel the imperial examination."
“…………”
Everyone said, Li Shimin nodded: "What Aiqing said is right, order to go down, and in half a month, the exam will start." ”
The imperial examination, this is just a general statement, there are many problems, and I will have to talk about it later, but now there is no need to discuss it in detail, they need a program now, a program of the powerful Tang Dynasty, and now, Qin Tian is talking about this program.
After he finished speaking, in response to these programs, everyone will slowly fill in, for example, this imperial examination, now it is only determined to rely on, but how to take the test, how to take the test, will have to be discussed slowly and in detail.
After all, when Wude was in the ninth year, they said that they would carry out the reform of the imperial examination, so that more children from poor families would also have the opportunity to enter the court as officials.
