Chapter 282: One More Fight

Wu Yuanqing didn't take this matter seriously, he felt that since Li Shimin had already made a decision, it was impossible to change it, and since it was impossible to change the strategy of disposing of the Eastern Turkic prisoners, it was definitely impossible to blame himself for this matter.

But he obviously underestimated the determination of these people, and the envoys of more than a dozen tribes and countries of all sizes jointly asked for Wu Yuanqing's crimes, but they did not reply to the request once, twice, and three times if they didn't work twice. By the time of the fourth recital, someone in the court began to speak for them.

And the first to take the lead was Li Shimin's eldest brother, Sun Wuji, which was really unexpected by Wu Yuanqing.

The eldest grandson Wuji not only took the lead but also spoke fiercely, reprimanding Wu Yuanqing's previous proposal for seriously damaging the image of the Tang Dynasty in the surrounding subject countries, affecting the relationship with the subject countries, and threatening the peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty.

If this goes on for a long time, it will inevitably alienate these subject countries and Datang, so that Datang will be isolated and resisted, which is not conducive to the peaceful and stable development of Datang.

The eldest grandson Wuji took the lead, and Wen Yanbo, who was scolded by Wu Yuanqing, was also unwilling, and jumped out after him.

It is said that the matter of the scattered resettlement of Turkic prisoners is not going smoothly, and the resistance of those prisoners is high, and many of them have even clashed with the Tang army, and bloodshed and death have occurred frequently.

In addition, on the way to the resettlement site, there were many prisoners waiting for opportunities to escape, and there were three incidents of prisoners escaping in Guanzhong alone, and in one case, the prisoner also wiped out a farmer who found him in the process of escaping.

Although Wen Yanbo did not say what to do, his meaning was actually obvious when he said this, and he still wanted the emperor to consider his suggestion and settle the Turkic captives in their hometowns, all their tribes, and follow their local customs.

Then a group of people who were concerned all day long, and famous Confucians who talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality also began to help.

For example, Kong Yingda first recited the article of Mencius Gongsun Chou in one breath, and then said that power cannot be used to govern the world, and the same is true for foreign strategy by relying on benevolence and righteousness, so that the subject countries and neighboring countries should be bathed in the spring breeze of benevolence, righteousness and harmony in the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the subject countries and neighboring countries can get close to the Tang Dynasty, admire the Tang Dynasty, and truly regard the Tang Dynasty as a suzerainty that can be relied on and trusted, and the emperor's title of Heavenly Khan can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Then he said that those who practice benevolent government will help and support him more people, and those who do not practice benevolent government will have fewer people who help and support him. The number of people who helped him was extremely small, and his relatives inside and outside would betray him. He helped him so much that all the people of the world turned to him. This is the so-called Tao more help and less help to the unenlightened.

There are also great Confucians who took the Tao Te Ching of the ancestor of the Li family, Lao Tzu Li Er, to talk about things, saying that ruling the world with soldiers is not a long time ago. In this way, it is used to prove that they should use benevolence and benevolence to govern the country.

A bunch of Confucians, you spit and persuade the emperor one sentence at a time, you can't do it like this now, it's completely unpopular with the people. You have to listen to us, listen to the saints, and treat others and other countries with a benevolent and kind heart, so that they will also use benevolence, righteousness and kindness to our Datang.

If you listen to Wu Yuanqing and treat others with power and violence, others will definitely not be convinced, and when the time comes, there will definitely be troubles everywhere, so that Datang will fall into a situation where it is embattled.

Although there are also many people who help Wu Yuanqing speak, especially Wu Yuanqing's father Wu Shiyi, who spat directly on Wen Yanbo's face, but this time it is obvious that the eldest grandson Wuji and these people came prepared, and they have been secretly engaged in tandem for a long time, so for a while, the people who stood aside by Wu Yuanqing were actually pressed by them.

If one person says that Li Shimin can not care, two people can ignore it, but so many people say that Li Shimin has to pay attention.

Li Shimin began to reflect in his heart on whether he had really done something wrong, and whether Wu Yuanqing's suggestion was really beneficial to Datang.

Although his heart has been shaken, Li Shimin's face has not shown any treatment. It's just that after the dispersion, he couldn't see the irritable legato folds.

Wu Yuanqing soon received the news about the affairs in the palace, and then Wu Yuanqing brought some things into the palace.

"You still dare to come, do you know that because of your affairs, my ministers are going to fight" Seeing Wu Yuanqing come in with a smile, Li Shimin said viciously.

"Eh, the minister doesn't know, the minister hasn't made any mess recently" Wu Yuanqing blinked in confusion pretending to be innocent.

"Pretend, you continue to pretend, don't say that you don't know about the impeachment of foreign envoys, don't say that the ministers in the court today want to punish you, you don't know." Li Shimin saw through Wu Yuanqing at a glance.

"Oh, the minister did hear about it, but how to deal with the Turks is not His Majesty's idea, how to deal with the crimes of the minister" Wu Yuanqing had a surprised expression for Mao asking me to take the blame.

When Li Shimin heard this, he was angry, and said in his heart, Okay, you kid, it was you who fought the ministers with your tongue at the beginning, and impassionedly refuted other people's suggestions, and scolded a bloody dog, and encouraged me to be tough on the Turkic captives and disperse them. Now that the ministers are in trouble, you will leave it all away, saying that it is my idea, and I want me to take care of everything, and whether you still have me as an emperor or a father-in-law in your eyes.

Seeing that Li Shimin was choked with anger and was about to erupt like a volcano, Wu Yuanqing shrunk his neck weakly, and said with a smile: "This matter is the minister's fault, and the minister did not think it through, so I asked Your Majesty to condemn it." ”

Wu Yuanqing's skinless and faceless appearance made Li Shimin angry, and rubbed his temples with a headache and said: "You're right, I agreed to your suggestion at the beginning, and I actually thought so selfishly." It's just that now the Turkic captives are dissatisfied with the resettlement method and make trouble repeatedly, Jieli's former territory is vacant and unoccupied, and the Tang Dynasty does not have so many troops to garrison, and the grassland is really unprofitable and unworthy of garrisoning except for raising livestock, so that Xue Yantuo and other forces have wantonly invaded, plus they have gathered many Turkic remnants, it is foreseeable that their strength will inevitably rise sharply in the near future, and it will be a big threat to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin paused and continued: "Now that there are so many envoys and ministers of the DPRK and China opposing this matter, I cannot afford to be careless. ”

Wu Yuanqing said with a straight face: "It's not good to say much about the opposition ministers of the DPRK and the central government, but for the foreign envoys and the opposition ministers, His Majesty must not compromise, and he must not be merciful to the Turkic captives. The minister doesn't know too much about politics, but the minister knows that there is a saying that people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden, and the minister thinks that the country is the same. And the reason why they dare to do this is nothing more than that the Tang Dynasty was too merciful before, and even the Central Plains countries of our dynasties were too merciful. This made them think that they could persecute His Majesty with support. This is a very dangerous sign, and since they can think this way this time, they will think so in the future. If they succeed this time, this time, they will have a second and a third time. And countless times. ”

"And what do you think?" Li Shimin asked.

"If you fight again, you will beat Xue Yantuo and show them to the monkeys."
