Chapter 522: The Art of Persuasion

Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Li Shimin really has nothing to be unhappy about.

After Li Shimin successively destroyed the Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun, taught Xue Yantuo a lesson, occupied half of the territory of Tubo, and occupied the territory of the sea, Li Shimin didn't care about it for a long time.

The attitude of the suzerainty towards the subject state is determined by the national strength and the foreign strategy in the emperor's mind.

Like the original time and space, the reason why Datang's attitude towards the subject country is so good is largely because the national strength of Datang was not strong when it was founded at the beginning, and it was determined that there was no way to face the enemy on all sides.

If the national strength is not strong, it can only be based on Huairou, and at that time, the surrounding countries flattered Li Shimin as the Khan, of course, Li Shimin could not slap himself in the face and do it to those countries and tribes that had flattered him and were more obedient.

When Datang's national strength is strong, this is already a habit, and to be honest, Datang can be said to be surrounded by strong enemies, as long as the subject country is obedient and does not make trouble, Datang will not have any dissatisfaction with the subject country, and even the subject country has something to do, Datang should contribute, and should send troops to help.

Unless it's like the Eastern Turks, so that the Tang Dynasty can only destroy it if they can't bear it. It's just that the Eastern Turks are strong enough, and the Tang Dynasty has taken them down, but the Eastern Turks go west, and there is a Western Turk that is not weaker than it to the north, constantly harassing the Silk Road connecting the Western Regions with the Tang Dynasty, as well as the western border passes.

After the Eastern Turks were destroyed, Xue Yantuo took advantage of the situation and replaced the Eastern Turks to threaten the northern border pass of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of miles. And in the southwest, there are Tuyuhun and Tubo in, the Tang Dynasty defeated the disobedient Tuyuhun, but later was seized by the Tubo tiger's mouth to seize the territory of Tuyuhun, Tubo became the strongest country on the plateau, and dared to fight with the Tang Dynasty, Tubo killed and injured thousands of people, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty got into a princess Wencheng.

In the east, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla are also frequently engaged in things, but the most powerful Goguryeo has always been afraid of the Tang Dynasty and is full of hostility to the Tang Dynasty, and finally the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo fought a few battles to destroy Goguryeo, but the fruits of victory were occupied by Silla, but Silla pretended to be very well-behaved, and begged for mercy shamelessly when he saw that the momentum was not right, and the Tang Dynasty was not embarrassed to kill Silla at all.

After that, the little devils were not willing to be bound on the island and yearn for the development of the peninsula, and Datang also helped Silla who robbed a lot of Datang land to resist the little devils, and fought with the little devils on the sea road.

But the Tang Dynasty got almost nothing, the fruits of victory in defeating Goguryeo were occupied by Silla, the fruits of victory in defeating Tuyuhun were occupied by Tubo, the fruits of victory in defeating the Eastern Turks were occupied by Xue Yantuo, and the fruits of victory in defeating Xue Yantuo, hehe, were taken by other rising nomads.

It can be said that the Tang Dynasty, which is surrounded by enemies, has worked hard for decades and destroyed several powerful countries, and finally looks around and finds that it is still a special enemy on all sides, and these enemies are all raised by themselves.

This is the foreign policy of Datang and Datang in the original time and space, as long as you are obedient, Datang will never move you, and even after Datang kills the disobedient little brother, the obedient little brother blatantly occupies the territory left by the disobedient little brother, and Datang doesn't say anything.

There are even people like Tang Xuanzong who are as blind and generous as they actually gave the vacant land south of the Datong River that originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty to Silla.

But at this time, the Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty of the original time and space, and Li Shimin is naturally not the Li Shimin of the original time and space.

East, west, north and south, except for the east side of the land is not expanded, the other three sides of the Tang Dynasty have opened up more than thousands of miles. And it is not the previous nominal submission, or the occupation of the nature of fetter, but the actual sense of the Tang Dynasty governance, the occupation of the Tang Dynasty garrison.

In addition, a large number of special products, minerals and other materials obtained from the occupied areas, as well as precious wood, animals, gold, silver, copper, iron and other metals that can be found everywhere on the large and small islands in the southern sea, as well as spices comparable to gold, etc.

Li Shimin has long opened his eyes, and Li Shimin, who said that he was a subject country of submission as before, has long been out of sight, and Li Shimin is now more interested in both nominal and actual dual rule than just lip service.

Because after the rule, it is not only famous, but also profitable, which is much more cost-effective than the practice of stupid hats in name only.

Therefore, not to mention that Silla was only forced to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty when it was attacked by Baekje during the Mudeok period and paid tribute several times after Li Shimin ascended the throne, and at other times there were envoys in the Tang Dynasty who were only resident and not tributary.

It is the tribute that Silla pays at a fixed time every year, and Li Shimin doesn't care whether it is invaded or not, not to mention that Silla has just invaded now, and the war has not been fought for half a month.

So, who cares about Silla now.

Well, no, no one still cares, some old-fashioned ministers feel that Li Shimin should send troops to help Silla, even if he doesn't send troops, he can reprimand Goguryeo and Baekje and coerce Baekje to withdraw his troops.

It's just that these ministers are not strong enough, and without the support of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and other Zaifu, their words will splash some ripples at most, and they can't disturb the emperor's heart.

Even, Li Shimin felt that they were very annoying, and in October, when the first snow fell, they left Luoyang Palace and lived in Luoyang Garden.

Luoyang Garden is a royal garden in Luoyang City, which is mainly for pleasure and safari, so there are not many palaces that live there.

Naturally, a few high-ranking officials such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui can accompany them, and those annoying ministers are not qualified to follow here.

Since you have arrived at Luoyang Garden, safari is naturally indispensable, for this, Wei Zheng is too lazy to say, the imperial historians have also said it before, and he has persuaded him openly and secretly, but the emperor does not listen to what you can do, just like the emperor said, he hunted and did not disturb the people, what is not to do.

After all, Luoyang Garden is a palace in the city, and the animals in it are wild, but most of them are still raised.

There are basically no large beasts, and some of them are also kept in cages, and they will not be released unless the emperor asks for them, otherwise the only animals that can be hunted here are some animals that are not dangerous.

Herbivores, like rabbits, fawns, roe deer, pheasants and the like.

But these seemingly harmless animals once scared the accompanying ministers to death.

It was the fifth day of arriving at Luoyang Garden, Li Shimin led people to hunt in the forest, and suddenly a group of pigs ran out. Of course, it can't be a domestic pig here, it's a wild boar, but it's not big.

Li Shimin bent his bow and shot arrows and swished, and there were no false shots, and the dead arrows killed four wild boars. As a result, one of the wild boars rushed towards Li Shimin in a panic.

Wild boars have a fierce temperament, especially when they are angry, and their impact damage is no worse than that of tigers and leopards. Although it is not big, it is still no problem to scare the horses. The wild boar rushed to the stirrup in the blink of an eye, jumped up and wanted to attack Li Shimin with his fangs.

This frightened Tang Jian, the accompanying Hubu Shangshu, and directly fell off the horse and fought with the wild boar.

Where can this kind of battle scare the immediate emperor Li Shimin, when Tang Jian was fighting with the wild boar, Li Shimin drew his sword and cut off the head of the wild boar with one sword.

After it was over, Li Shimin joked with Tang Jian with a smile and said: "Haven't you, the head of Tiance Mansion, seen me, the general of Tiance, fight with enemy soldiers, what are you afraid of in this situation now."

As a result, Tang Jian immediately gave a small admonition on the matter of hunting, and patted his ass by the way and said: "Han Gaozu won it immediately, not immediately ruled it; Your Majesty is determined by the gods and the four directions, how can you regain your ambition in a beast! “

I have to say that this person who has engaged in diplomacy is able to speak, and the imperial history book also advises the emperor not to hunt, they say that the emperor you have hunted too much, and the emperor doesn't like to listen.

But in the same sense, Tang Jian just praised Li Shimin a little, the emperor is wise and martial, and your martial arts are outstanding and pacified the Quartet, you are so powerful, why do you want to be heroes in these animals, you are a fall.

Just praised and praised it, Li Shimin was in a happy mood, stopped hunting immediately, and promoted Tang Jian to an official and was crowned as a doctor of Guanglu.

Look at others, this is a win-win, it's too slippery and too routine.
