Chapter Seventy-Seven: Scolding

Li De looked at these two two boys gloomily and said, "What kind of thing are you?"

Wen Yanbo said angrily, "I'm not a thing, I'm a book in the Tang Dynasty, and Wen Yanbo is also." ”

Du Chuke also said, "I am in the Tang Dynasty, Du Chuke"

"Oh, you are not things, but idiots, traitors. It's like someone who is Lord Wei, standing upright and sitting upright, working for the well-being of the court and the people. You two traitors actually turned their backs on their people, forgot their ancestors, and did not fight for the country and the people, but for the Turkic barbarians. Say that the two of you have not accepted their benefits, the treasure is still a beauty, otherwise you are an undercover agent who was inserted by the Turks into the Tang Dynasty. If this king hadn't looked at the main hall, he would have struck you two pieces of garbage with a hammer. Hmph"

Both of them were so angry with Li De that their beards were cocked. said in unison, "Why do you say that we are traitors undercover, we are authentic Han and Miao descendants, and we are also the experience of the past. Confessional. ”

Li De smiled angrily and said, "I'm a fool, okay, you know who I am." ”

Du Chuke "His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty"

"Yes, I am still the commander of the Wei Army, the general of the hussars. I personally led the troops north to break through the Turks and capture Jieli Khan alive, and I am also a general of the Tang Dynasty.

You two corpses are in the garbage of the vegetarian meal. Have you ever been on the battlefield and really seen the scene of my Tang Erlang fighting with the Turks to the death. Pity those soldiers for the country, for the nation, threw their heads, spilled blood, and paid for their precious lives, and my Datang only suffered 40,000 casualties. In exchange for such a great achievement.

You can't lift it in your hands, you can't pick it up on your shoulders. Two broken mouths are about to release the Turks and release them back to the steppe, have you ever thought about those warriors? Have you ever put the life of my Tang soldier in his eyes?

In the past, you had a carriage when you went out and a warm bed when you entered the house, have you ever been to the border pass, look at the border people who were plagued by the Turkic barbarians, what kind of life they lived, how many Han families were ruined, their wives were separated, and the whole family was wiped out, why they worked hard every day to pay taxes to the imperial court, and the Tang Dynasty could not protect their lives and property, you went to the Han slave camp to see. How many women were spoiled by the barbarians, how many men were enslaved by the Turks, they were unclothed all day long, they did not have a full bite to eat for a day, and they lived a life where people were inferior to dogs, and the Turkic barbarians humiliated and killed them like pigs and dogs. They know that their taxes are paid to officials like you, and you not only drink their blood, but also their lives. ”

Li De looked at the generals and drank, "Wei Chigong, Chai Shao, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Zhang Gongjin, where is it?"

"Ministers" Several generals whose names were named by Li De stood in the center of the hall.

Li De stepped forward and tore the clothes on their backs, showing them to all the ministers present one by one, several of them were covered in scars, and there was hardly a single intact piece of skin.

Li De said, "You guys take a good look. , what is on them,. You must know that they are all high-ranking generals. It won't hurt easily. It's all covered in bruises, do you dare to imagine what the soldiers below are like? Do you still say that this kind of wolf-hearted, dog-hearted, human-faced beast-hearted race will be grateful to Dade, will you?"

Li De's majestic gaze swept over the civilian officials, and many officials couldn't stand Li De's hot gaze and lowered their heads.

Wen Yanbo also quibbled, "King Wei, don't confuse the public, this official doesn't look down on the generals and soldiers, I just state a fact." ”

Li De said, "Okay, then let me ask you, you tell the facts, did the Turks bring harm to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Wen Yanbo "Yes"

"Have you taken captives and enslaved my people?"

"Yes"

"Are there any soldiers coming to the city to force Your Majesty to sign the alliance under the city?"

Wen Yanbo gritted his teeth and said, "Yes"

Li De looked at him viciously and asked, "Since the Turks have signed an alliance with Datang, have they invaded Datang again?" ”

Wen Yanbo was about to cry, and he could only tremble and say "yes"

Li De: "Since the Turks have a history of treachery, where do you two have the confidence to say that they will not rebel, they will be grateful to Dade, and they will give the Turks a chance to recuperate." Let them regain the space to survive, and when they recover, they will come to harm my Datang. You two pieces of garbage. It is disloyal to be an official who does not seek good plans for the country, it is unfilial piety to forget his ancestors as a son of man, and it is unkind to enjoy the support of the people of the Tang Dynasty and not seek well-being for the people. It is unjust to frame Your Majesty for the sake of slander and flattery, you are so disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous dogs and traitors, what kind of face dare to bark in front of this king, and dare to say more, this king will kill you with his own hands on this Taiji Palace. ”

Wen Yanbo and Du Chuke were frightened by Li De's murderous anger and fell to the ground, came back to their senses and begged Li Shimin again and again

"Your Majesty, help. The subordinates have no such intentions, but only plan for the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty. ”

Li Shimin was uncomfortable and didn't know what to do, Li De resisted so fiercely, he said something, and indirectly slapped Li Shimin, his face was hot, he was ready to listen to what these two people said, but fortunately he was interrupted by Li De, otherwise he would have to be recorded in history.

Li Shimin didn't care about the two people on the ground and comforted Li Dedao, "Third brother, you dissipate your anger first, the two of them are civil officials after all, but they can't stop your murderous aura, although what they said is wrong, they can't be wrong to death." ”

Everyone heard His Majesty call the third brother, a brother, sure enough, the status of King Wei was respected, and Wen Yanbo and Du Chuke were scolded in three or two clicks, the emperor was not angry, especially Wei Zheng and the officials of the military generals were even more happy, Wei Wang Ye was wise, who said that he was a military general, this is obviously a virtuous king. Speaking their minds. The most important thing is what Li De says, Li Shimin will listen.

Li De calmed down and said, "Second brother, what Lord Wei said is what my brother wants to say, since the Qin and Han dynasties, Rongdi, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, all of these steppe barbarians, have not invaded the Central Plains, causing countless catastrophes to the Central Plains. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty placed the Xiongnu in the Hetao, but also buried the disaster, you see in the history books, how Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty treated the Southern Xiongnu, what to give, but the result, how long did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty die, the Han Dynasty from prosperity to decline, the Huns have remembered Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the favor given to them by the Han Dynasty, many rebellions and invasions are common, and the Jin Dynasty's policy of appeasement of the nomads has caused a monstrous disaster. You also had an alliance with Jieli in Weishui, but in reality, was the Turkic invasion of Ganzhou and Suzhou fake last year? ”

"Second brother, you forgot, you also said that we should take people as a mirror, we can dress properly, and use history as a mirror to know the rise and fall. Why do I still think about that ethereal reputation, although I don't like to read, I also know,

There is a saying in the left biography: If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, you will be soft in China, Xing will be mighty in Siyi, and Rong Di will be a jackal, and you can't get tired of it; Zhuxia is intimate, can not be abandoned, the inner China and the outer Zhuxia, the inner Zhuxia and the outer Yidi, this is the righteous words of the sages. ”

"The Turks are treacherous, human-faced and animal-hearted, once they are released and cultivated for a few years, they will regain their former strength, how can I Datang stop the Turkic barbarians who have been recuperating for many years at the time of crisis. When the time comes, the smoke will be all over the place, and the world will be plagued by war, which is the result of what we have caused today. ”

"I'm giving it another one. Send it to all of you to listen to the truth, woohoo! Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms are also the Six Kingdoms, not Qin; The Qin of the clan is also Qin, not the world. Whew! It is enough to make each of the six kingdoms love his own people; If Qin Fu loves the people of the Six Kingdoms, then the third generation can be the king of all generations, and who will be wiped out? The Qin people have no time to mourn themselves, and future generations mourn them; Later generations mourn and do not learn from it, and it also makes future generations mourn for future generations. ”

"The past is not far away, take history as a mirror."

Li Shimin stood up and couldn't stop clapping his hands, Li De gave him a big surprise today, not to mention the set of big truths, it was this broken sentence, which played a role in warning himself. He was going to write it down and put it in his study, reminding himself from time to time.

The ministers also applauded, and the generals were even more happy that they couldn't find the north.

An old man walked up to Li De and said, "The prince of the courtiers is a priest of wine, Kong Yingda." Meet His Royal Highness King Wei, His Royal Highness is deafening and deaf, and he should be my teacher. ”

Li De replied, "Master Kong is serious, in front of you, how dare I call a teacher." ”

Li Shimin said, "Third brother, you have said the truth, then you have a good countermeasure." ”

Li De said arrogantly, "Second brother, as the saying goes, striking iron is hard by itself. To make Siyi surrender, as long as Datang remains strong and has the strength to crush them. How dare they betray Datang, I, Datang, don't need those false names. And to be real about the benefits. These 200,000 Turkic captives, in my opinion, are being used for hard labor, and they cannot be simply placed in the localities, and friction will inevitably occur. And we can't let the foreigners feel that as long as they can't beat my Datang, they will surrender immediately, and they will be fine, and they can also live in Datang, such a good thing is not good, I suggest that they can be divided into countless teams, and where they need strong labor, let these Turks go, and let them replace my Datang people to work, do hard labor, so as to compensate for the harm they have caused to the people of Datang,. In this way, we can grind away their arrogance and illusions, and secondly, we can avoid the heavy labor of the people, and we must let the people experience the sweetness when we win the war, so that they can do enough hard work for ten years, and give the identity of the people of the Tang Dynasty to join the Tang Dynasty. Let them learn the language and customs of Datang, and they can integrate into Datang after ten years, so that the enemies of the Quartet can be afraid, and let them know that I Datang cannot be bullied, not just surrender and admit defeat, but also pay the price of blood. Datang doesn't need their respect, Datang wants to make them afraid, so that they don't dare to offend in their bones. That's the long-term solution. ”

"Second brother, do you think, the Tang Dynasty is strong, the people live in peace, and the army is strong, do you still need them to respect you Why Tian Khan, you just don't have this reputation, you can do whatever you want them to do, dare not try one. Hmph, it's a good thing to say, Khan, because now that Datang has a strong national strength, they are afraid of my Datang, coaxing us to let us not deal with them, that's all, once my Datang shows fatigue, the enemies around Datang will immediately pounce on us and eat our flesh and blood. ”

Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, and several prime ministers applauded Li De, and even Wei Zheng, who has always been against everyone, echoed and said, "King Wei, Dacai, this is Lao Cheng's words to seek the country." Please make a decision."

Li Shimin was also said to his heart by Li De, yes, as long as I work hard, the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty will come, at that time, you don't respect me as the Khan of the sky, then I am also the supreme of the world.

Li Shimin ordered, "According to what Wei Zheng and King Wei said, the government hall planned the method of prisoner labor, and placed 100,000 Han slaves in Shandong, and the subordinates replied to Xue Yantuo and Tuli, and the Tang Dynasty refused to release the Turkic captives, and they will be dealt with in the future." ”

Li Shimin looked at the two people sitting on the ground, especially Wen Yanbo was about to be moved by him, who knew that he almost stepped on thunder.

"Wen Yanbo, exempt from the Zhongshu Order, demoted to the Zhongshu Sheren to be retained, and Du Chuke to be demoted to a record"

It is said that a companion is like a companion, Li Shimin almost agreed to his suggestion before, but he didn't expect that he wanted to be beaten back to his original form as soon as he took office and behaved well. Both of them regretted it.
