"Your Royal Highness, since the minister is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, he thinks that although he has no major political achievements, he has never made a big mistake, and the minister, as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, is naturally for the sake of my Tang Dynasty, diplomatic mediation? The minister believes that diplomatic mediation, in fact, is for my Tang Dynasty prestige and virtue to be recognized by all countries. Just like His Majesty's enshrinement of Zen, all the countries sent envoys to accompany them, and all the countries came to my Tang Dynasty to congratulate them, so that is the prestige of my Tang Dynasty and the main responsibility of the ministers as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Dai Zhide's expression is ugly, the Ministry of Etiquette has always paid attention to etiquette, if it is like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the dignified Tang Empire, wouldn't it be extremely rude.

Li Hong shook his head speechlessly and smiled bitterly, but the other courtiers were all shocked, Dai Zhide's words were really tough, although the two have not been on good terms, but the monarch and ministers are limited, His Royal Highness said so, Dai Zhide can only listen, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he can't refute the prince in front of all the courtiers.

"Dai Zhide, if this is the main purpose of your work as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I think you can resign from the post of Shangshu and return to your hometown." Li Hong narrowed his eyes and stared at Dai Zhide's cheek.

"Hmph, the minister doesn't know what he did wrong as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, if His Royal Highness just let the minister resign and retire because the minister bumped into you just now, as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, he has nothing to say." Dai Zhide was going to carry it to the end, regardless of Li Yiyan, the secretary of the ministry next to him, and continued to say strongly.

Li Hong smiled disapprovingly, and said slowly: "If all my officials in the Tang Dynasty are like you, let's wait for the destruction of the country, and what kind of century-old foundation do you imagine?" Back then, you studied under Wang Xuance and were recommended by him to enter the court, and now you are in the Ministry of Rites, can you have half of his merits? ”

"Your Highness, don't you understand what you're talking about? Wang Xuance, as an envoy to the Western Regions, naturally has a meritorious service, although the minister is not half of him. But the minister thinks that he has not introduced anyone like Luo Suopo! I have never been limited by the minister's proposition! ”

The courtiers in the council hall gasped, although Wang Xuance was not guilty, but everyone knew that the first emperor was poisoned to death after taking some of his immortal pills because he captured a monk from the Western Regions, Luo Ersa Po!

Although Wang Xuance was not convicted of this incident, he has not been promoted since then, and has become a person forgotten by the court.

Although after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he still used Wang Xuance to envoy to the Western Regions, but at this time, Wang Xuance had already lost the style of "one person destroys one country".

What's more, at that time, there was Xuanzang's westward journey to learn scriptures, which was far greater than the impact of Wang Xuance's "one person destroying a country", and naturally all the limelight of Wang Xuance was robbed by Xuanzang, so now, Wang Xuance has been dead for several years, and people still have mixed reviews when they mention him.

Li Hong still had a faint smile on his face, a charcoal pen in his hand slid back and forth on the table, and he still said unhurriedly: "Although you have never done anything like Wang Xuance, but now you are very similar to Wang Xuance's "one person destroys a country", when Wang Xuance borrowed troops from the Ni Bharat Kingdom, he advocated lending troops to Wang Xuance's Ni Bharata courtiers. ”

Looking at the dazed appearance of the ministers, Li Hong took the slender wooden stick in Xiaoxue's hand, got up from his seat, pulled off the black cloth behind him, and suddenly, what appeared in front of everyone was a huge sand table of the Tang Empire, including the terrain and locations of other countries around the Tang Dynasty, all of which were marked in detail.

Li Hong sneered and looked at Dai Zhide, then glanced at the ministers again, and said: "Back then, Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren took more than 30 people to envoy Tianzhu, but they were robbed by Luo Shun, a small country affiliated to Tianzhu, halfway, and finally Wang Xuance escaped alone, and then borrowed 7,000 troops from Nibora. As a result, Wang Xuance made a miraculous achievement, that is, with his own and the 7,000 soldiers and horses he borrowed, he eliminated the small country of Aluoshun, which killed Jiang Shiren and other 30 people halfway. But where is the mud Bora today? Dai Zhide, you studied under Wang Xuance, do you still think that it is worth reinforcing Goryeo? ”

After Li Hong finished speaking, he looked at the courtiers: "History is always conservative, history is always similar, and history can always give you great enlightenment in subtleties!" Dai Zhide, you strongly advocate sending troops to Goryeo, if we send troops to Goryeo again, we will be like Ni Boro, being eaten by Tianzhu and Tubo, and Ni Bolo is now half of Tubo and Tianzhu, because of what? Because he borrowed troops from the Tang Dynasty officials and eliminated A Luoshun! Aloshun is a subject of Tianzhu, why does Tubo follow and fight, it is because Nibora has destroyed the strategic balance there! Forcing the two great powers to feel the crisis because of the actions of the mud bharata! That's why we have to destroy him! Dai Zhide, do you want my Tang Dynasty to be like Mud Borla? ”

Li Hong threw the slender wooden stick in his hand to Xiaoxue and sat back in his position angrily.

History is always strikingly similar, and the example he just gave is not a few years later, the Tang Dynasty is too busy to take care of itself, as if the situation of Nibora is in a realistic situation!

It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the weakened Datang is not something that those small countries can shake, but Anxi and Anton, who worked hard and exchanged their lives and blood, were not forced to give up because of lack of troops and inability to maintain!

Dai Zhide looked at the sand table behind him, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was using counter-evidence to prove that he was wrong to strongly advocate sending troops. This made him suddenly speechless in the face of conclusive evidence, and he didn't know how to refute it.

Liu Renliang also quietly stared at the sand table behind Li Hong, his keen sense as a general was still incomparable to others, and he took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness, the mud Bora you are talking about is just a subject country, but my Datang is now the object of admiration of all the countries in the world, and we are now strong and strong, and famous generals are like clouds, I don't think it can be defeated by Goryeo and other small places, even if Anxi is unstable now, the minister thinks that for a while, Datang will not appear in the situation you mentioned." ”

"How long is your hour and a half? A year? Two years? Decade? Or eight years? "Li Hong can't wait to whip him with a big ear!

How many people are holding this so-called Shangguo mentality, and in the end? Look at the Wa Kingdom, which has learned too much culture from the Tang Dynasty, more than a thousand years later, how many helpless and heart-rending cries have been left on this land!

Pei Yan and Cen Changqian, who were in the middle book and under the door, also nodded involuntarily after listening to Liu Renliang's words. In their hearts, as courtiers of the kingdom, especially in this self-confident Tang era, no one would believe that the Tang Dynasty, which is now in its prime, will have a crisis.

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that what Liu Shangshu said is extremely true. It's better for us to send fewer troops to reinforce Liu Renyuan and Sun Renshi, so that we can not lose the face of our Tang Dynasty, and we can also declare the prestige of our Tang Dynasty. Zhang Wenjun, as the right servant of Shangshu Province, also said at this moment.

Li Hong looked at everyone and just shook his head speechlessly, if it is really as Zhang Wenqian said, then it is no different from going back, isn't it in history to send Qi Bi He Li first, and then send Li Tao over?

If you really follow what Zhang Wenqian said, wouldn't his words be in vain?

"Jinghui, tell them about the grain and grass situation in Goryeo, especially the harvest in Goryeo in the past two years, and the number of soldiers in my Tang Dynasty now." Li Hong rubbed his temples with a little headache, and said to his subordinates, the household servant Jinghui.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"After more than a year of investigation by the Ministry of Household Affairs of government soldiers across the country, there is also a survey of grain and grass in Liaodong...... Jinghui crackled like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, telling all the data to the bigwigs in the court one by one, and the forms in his hand were also sent to the courtiers.

After Jinghui sat down, Li Hong took the data handed over by Yang Jiong again, and after taking a look, he did not let Yang Jiong, who was not at a good level here, out, but said lightly: "Report it to them." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Yang Jiong was nervous in the face of the court boss who was seated, and he didn't know how to call Li Hong, so he called out Mr. His Royal Highness in embarrassment.

Li Hong waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "This is the newly introduced academic of Chongwen Pavilion today, calculating the future, that is to say, through the pen and paper in our hands, with the knowledge we have learned, and with the method of calculation, we can calculate how long the soldiers of my Tang Dynasty can deal with the two wars at the same time." This includes the number of soldiers in our Datang Dynasty today, the number of soldiers of all ages, and the average number of casualties in a war, so as to infer that our soldiers in Datang can still die in the resolution of you courtiers, and only a few years before they can die! ”

Looking at Liu Renliang in the court, Li Hong continued to say lightly: "Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, the virtue and prestige you think of, if there is no support from the strength of the Tang Dynasty's strong horses, your virtue and your prestige are nonsense in the eyes of others!" Dai Zhide, let me tell you a sentence that the Ministry of Rites should hang on the wall, that is: a weak country has no diplomacy! If you still don't understand, you can really resign and go home, and you are no longer suitable to sit in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Watching each courtier hold those data in their hands and study them carefully, there are still cases of talking to each other from time to time, which makes Li Hong believe that maybe these advanced calculation methods can make these courtiers lying on the halo of the kingdom more sober.

Liu Renliang looked at the data in his hand, his expression was extremely focused, according to the simple and easy-to-understand figures above, I am afraid that in less than three or five years, it will become extremely difficult for this Datang to continue to use troops in Liaodong and Anxi at the same time.

In particular, the decrease in the number of government soldiers and the death of a large number of young and strong soldiers gradually became the main force of the government soldiers over the age of forty, and by that time .......

Liu Renliang couldn't imagine it, if these numbers were true...... No, these figures are indeed true, how many people died in Liaodong in a year, he knows better than anyone else.

In addition, Goryeo has had bumper harvests in poor mountains and remote places year after year in recent years, but the Tang Dynasty soldiers have always provided grain and grass for the Tang Dynasty when they used troops in Liaodong!
