Chapter 331: Reasonable Doubt
Silla, Zhenguan was not bordering the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year, and the national strength was not even as good as Baekje, and the Goguryeo adjacent to him could not be compared, if it weren't for the rush to pay tribute, and the Tang Dynasty out of the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, hoping to use Silla to contain Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty really didn't care much about Silla's ownership.

Therefore, when Wen Yanbo's words came out, Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang, the two princes of the military, nodded in agreement after pondering, not to mention many people who already agreed with this matter.
Seeing this situation, Guangluqing Liu Zhenghui came out and said: "What Zhongshu Ling said is extremely true, compared to the weakness of Silla, the Wa State is much stronger, and if it is for the sake of Silla, it is really useless for the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Phew, let you fart, since you know that Silla is weak and the Japanese state is strong, not to mention supporting Silla to contain the Japanese state, but clamoring to give up Silla to the hand, what do you mean, Liu Lao Pifu, do you think that the Japanese state is not strong enough to threaten the Tang Dynasty?" Wei Chigong pointed at Liu Zhenghui's nose with a dark face and scolded angrily.
"You...."Liu Zhenghui was scolded, trembling with anger, and his gray beard floated up.
"What are you, take a good look at your door, don't care how good your food is, if you have to interject in such military affairs, it's right, but look at what kind of bullshit you say, what kind of joke you make." Wei Chigong cut off Liu Zhenghui's words and continued to run.
Liu Zhenghui is a member of the third grade, dignified Xing Guogong, in terms of official position, no less than Wei Chigong, and in terms of title, he is also quite equal, but he was so insulted by Wei Chigong in public, and he almost fainted in anger.
But Wei Chigong's scolding is not unreasonable, Liu Zhenghui is angry because Wei Chigong said that he is a janitor.
As for why Wei Chigong scolded him so much, it is necessary to talk about the scope of Guangluqing's functions held by Liu Zhenghui. Guangluqing is mainly in charge of the affairs of the palace, such as the guards at the palace gate, the production of royal meals, the distribution and storage of tent utensils, and so on.
To put it bluntly, just like Wei Chigong said, he is an official who cares for food, this is because in the early Tang Dynasty, it is not Guang Luqing's turn to guard the harem gate, and at that time, Luqing can only be an official who takes care of food.
Every day, I deal with the imperial dining room and the adoption of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and when it comes to meals, I command people to serve vegetables.
Being ridiculed and insulted like this, Liu Zhenghui is not angry to be surprised, you must know that not long ago, Liu Zhenghui still held the power of the criminal department Shangshu, and it was only a few months since he was changed to Guangluqing.
Listening to Wei Chigong's words and watching Liu Zhenghui's deflated appearance, several military officers couldn't help but laugh.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth rose and he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, after all, Liu Zhenghui was also one of his most relied on henchmen, otherwise he would not have listed Liu Zhenghui as one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the future.
"Okay, I let you discuss the matter, it's not a quarrel, just shut up for me and get down to business," Li Shimin forced a smile and glared at Wei Chi respectfully.
Wei Chigong took advantage and looked around triumphantly and returned to his original position, and Liu Zhenghui could only stare at Wei Chigong angrily and shut up and did not speak.
After the two of them shut up, someone else stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Zhongshu Ling said is very right, anyway, whether Silla is annexed or not has no impact on my Tang Dynasty, it is better to let it be left to the Wa Kingdom." Moreover, Silla paid tribute to the two countries at the same time, which shows that its country, its monarch and its people are not upright and have no integrity, and when the Tang Dynasty needs them in the future, I am afraid that they will also sway from side to side, and please both sides, which will not only be useless to the country but may also be harmful. On the other hand, the Japanese people, they are modest, respectful, friendly, diligent and studious, and greatly admire our Datang culture. “
The person who spoke was named Yu Shinan, the official secretary and young eunuch, and he was also a high-ranking official from Sanpin.
Yu Shinan's words blew the Japanese people into the sky, Wu Yuanqing couldn't listen to it anymore, and sneered: "Lord Yu, if you say anything else, forget it, say that the Japanese people are humble, respectful, and friendly, I just want to ask you, where do you see that they are humble, respectful, and friendly." Are you blind or deaf, even if you haven't seen it, haven't you heard of how the Japanese people molested my Tang women? not only molested my Datang woman in broad daylight, but also used force against the people of Datang who acted bravely, and brutally beat four people to be seriously injured. How did such a brute-like thing come to your mouth and become a humble, respectful and friendly foreign friend? How much money did you receive from the Japanese people to turn a blind eye to this, turn a deaf ear, and turn black and white upside down. “
"Shut up, the official is just talking about things, why does Wu Shaoqing hurt people and insult the innocence of this official." Yu Shinan's face turned pale and he reprimanded.
"Do you call this reversal of black and white a matter of facts? Why don't you say that you didn't take money from the Japanese people, so you don't have the shame to catch up with Zhao Gao, who is pointing at the deer as a horse" Wu Yuanqing saw that this old thing was still here, and he was even more angry.
"Presumptuous, Wu Yuanqing, how can you talk to Yu Lao Aiqing, it's not big or small, don't give me a retreat" Li Shimin was really angry now.
It doesn't matter if Fang Cai Wei Chi Gong scolded Liu Zhenghui, after all, they are of the same level, they are all big members, but Wu Yuanqing is only a fourth-grade official and insulted Yu Shinan in the court, and the official position is not equal, and it is not once or twice that Wu Yuanqing has committed scolding officials who are older than him.
But Yu Shinan is over seventy years old, in his old age, what if he gets angry, Yu Shinan is not like Du Yan and even his nephew Du Ruhui doesn't want to see him, Yu Shinan is quite popular in the court, if he dies, can those ministers give up? Even if he is a son-in-law, Li Shimin must be ruthless and punish the crime heavily, otherwise he will not be able to explain, and it will chill the hearts of the ministers.
Li Shimin wanted to eliminate this matter, but the ministers were a little reluctant, many people had long seen Wu Yuanqing unpleasantly, and now they were ready to attack him by taking advantage of his insult to Yu Shinan.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yu can't be slandered like this without knowing anything." Wen Yanbo stood up and said, and when he was finished, he looked at Wu Yuanqing and asked: "Wu Shaoqing said that Lord Yu accepted bribes to help the Japanese people intercede, I don't know if there is any evidence, can you show it for everyone to see."
"Evidence? I don't, but in the face of such an unreasonable thing, this official has reasonable suspicions that he will not break the law, right? Wu Yuanqing calmly looked directly at Wen Yanbo, the old enemy, and asked rhetorically.
