Chapter 330: Let them sober up
Yutian Shovel left the martial family with a depressed face and then rushed to the eldest grandson's house, looking at his figure in the snow, the corners of Wu Yuanqing's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of mockery. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition to the Ota shovel, everyone else in the Wa Kingdom was also in action, and every official who had been visited by the Wa envoys before received greetings from the Wa people again on this day.
I don't know when the heavy snow will stop, anyway, it was still raining outside when Wu Yuanqing and his daughter-in-law Wang Ziyu got out of bed to relieve themselves after they finished slapping.
It's still very rare for the first snow to fall so heavily, and the critical heavy snow makes it very inconvenient to travel.
In the morning, when it was still dark and there was no light, Wu Yuanqing was picked up.
After dressing and eating, I was ready to go out and take the car to the court, but when I went down the steps, the soles of my feet slipped and I didn't stand firmly, and I fell hard.
Frightened, a few subordinates who walked behind hurriedly hugged the old man warrior, and the one carrying the lantern in front returned to support the eldest young master Wu Yuanqing.
Cautiously out of the gate, when walking to the carriage parked at the door, a person who was not paying attention to support Wu Yuanqing's feet slipped, and flew directly to the side of the snow that had not been cleaned, Wu Yuanqing was almost taken to slide again, the key is that the person who fell fell on the snow and the whole person disappeared in an instant, it turned out that the snow was too thick and directly submerged his whole person inside.
Wu Yuanqing thought that he would be stable when he got into the carriage, but he was wrong, horses are the same as people, although they have horseshoes, they still slip from time to time on the snow again, and the cart they pull is moving and twisting a little.
Finally came to the outside of the palace, there was no one to clean the snow here, and all the civil and military officials who got out of the car were stuck in the snow nest half a leg high and shivering and walked into the palace.
Fortunately, the roads in the palace were cleaned, otherwise these officials would have to complain to the emperor and cut off the heads of a few little eunuchs and palace maids.
After Li Shimin came out, the left servant shot Fang Xuanling and was the first to speak, aiming at yesterday's heavy snow.
Ruixue Zhaofeng is a good word, but it is also a disaster if the snow falls too much, and it will be the same for future generations, let alone this time.
With such heavy snowfall, I don't know how many people's houses will be crushed and collapsed, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death because of the heavy snow, these are the most urgent things to solve in front of us.
Fang Xuanling proposed that Chang'an and Wannian counties organize people to help the people whose houses were damaged to repair the newly built houses, and then the imperial court allocated funds to buy firewood and charcoal for heating, and provided food to build a weekly shed for porridge.
These are all routine things, Li Shimin naturally agreed, and after this matter was over, Du Ruhui and several other ministers also spoke one after another and said a few things.
Only then did Li Shimin talk about yesterday's letter to the envoys of the Japanese state.
As soon as they heard that the Japanese state dared to make such an undivided demand, and wanted to rob the Tang Dynasty's vassal state Silla for their own, the generals of the military quit.
The first one to jump out was Cheng Yanjin, who had not shown up for a long time, he and Wei Chigong, Chai Shao, Zhang Gongjin and others led the troops to the Turks last year, and then attacked Xue Yantuo, and had a good addiction to conquering the city, and came back not long ago.
All day long, he proudly killed a strong country in one fell swoop, knocked an emerging power, and boasted to his wife and son that Datang has been invincible since then, and no one dares to provoke Datang.
As a result, only a few days after he came back, there was a jumping clown who brushed the tiger whiskers of the Tang Dynasty, and this face was beaten, which made Cheng Biting Jin blush and be extremely angry.
"No, absolutely not. His small Wa Kingdom is still a subject country of my Datang, what qualifications does he have to accept other countries as subject countries, not to mention that the country to be accepted is also a subject country of my Datang. They didn't take Datang seriously at all, such a country that is not a minister, the minister suggested that they should immediately send troops to sober them up, and know who is the king and who is the minister."
As soon as Cheng Yanjin's words came out, he immediately received strong support from the military, and except for Li Jing, who was highly meritorious, who habitually avoided suspicion and did not express his opinions, the other generals all agreed.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, such a country that does not know dignity and humility should give them some color." It was Li Ji who said this, Li Ji came back as the presidential commander who attacked Xue Yantuo to report on his work, and he didn't stay long in Chang'an, and he returned to Bingzhou to continue to be his governor. Although even if he wants to fight the Wa Kingdom, it will definitely not be his turn, but it does not prevent him from helping Cheng Yanjin speak.
Not to mention that he had a good relationship with Cheng Yanjin, he would also approve of it for the sake of the military. Li Ji knows very well where the power of the military comes from, only the power of the military can be guaranteed by war, if the world is peaceful and there is no danger of an enemy country outside, the military will inevitably be cut in power, and now there are signs of this, don't you see that the authority of civilian officials has become more and more prosperous?
In the past, the emperor would convene the prime minister and several generals of the military to discuss together, but now there are fewer and fewer such situations, and most of them are to consult with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others, and even Wen Yanbo, Wang Qi and others are more effective than their generals when they talk now.
Li Ji thinks about it for a long time, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin and others are not without this consideration, but Wei Chigong didn't think about it so much, he is a war maniac like Cheng Yanjin, he just likes to fight, and he wants to cause something to do a fight, not to mention that it is the Japanese people who are really stirring up trouble now.
However, the opinions of these people in the military were unanimously opposed by the civilian clique, of course, the opposition of the civilian officials was not all in favor of ceding Silla to the Japanese state, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng These people are for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and they feel that it is not easy to provoke lightly, after all, the Tang Dynasty has already fought two big battles in a year.
However, there were also many who really wanted to cede Silla to the Wa Kingdom.
Like Kong Yingda, Wu Yuanqing didn't understand what this old guy said, but the general meaning can also be guessed, it is nothing more than what the sages said, how to be kind to others, the Wa Kingdom is sincerely attached to the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Wa Kingdom are also yearning for the life of the Tang Dynasty, wanting to learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty and the like, the Tang Dynasty can't chill the heart of the Wa Kingdom and so on.
It's just a lot of, rotten words.
"Your Majesty, although Silla is a subject of my Tang Dynasty, it is also paying tribute to the Wa State every year, forming a de facto subordinate relationship, and geographically speaking, Silla is also a little closer to the Wa State. The other is that Silla does not pay much tribute to my Tang Dynasty every year, but what my Tang Dynasty rewards them is several times their tribute, and it is still my Tang Dynasty that suffers more, so according to the minister's view, it is better to hand over Silla to the Wa Kingdom. Wen Yanbo, who spoke, compared to Kong Yingda's ignorance, Wen Yanbo's words sounded a little reasonable.
