"Your Majesty, Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. Please be cautious!" Fang Xuanling bowed down to express his opinion.

"Your Majesty, although the country is warlike and will die, there are far away from the old Han and Wu affairs, and there is a painful lesson from the former Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo, and the minister also asks Your Majesty to be sympathetic to the suffering of the people and not to provoke the border." As soon as Wei Zheng opened his mouth, the atmosphere was wrong, saying that the emperor was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he compared the emperor to Emperor Yang of Sui, the father-in-law, this is the emperor's reverse scale, and the last thing I like to hear is such an analogy. But Lao Wei has always been bold, whether you like it or not, listen to me.

"Your Majesty, please think again. Last year, Hou Junji only destroyed the Western Regions, and this year he will move troops against Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, I am afraid that it will make other vassal states frightened, and there are still 100,000 troops stationed in the Western Regions. Du Ruhui also objected.

"Your Majesty....."

Then the eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu and other ministers all started with His Majesty, and then they all expounded on the disadvantages of using troops at length, and asked the emperor to extinguish the idea of attacking the three kingdoms of Liaodong.

The civil officials are almost all opposed, which is normal, they read the books of sages, either Laozi's inaction, or Confucius's virtue and propriety, or Mencius's benevolence, or Mozi's love and non-aggression, etc.

The ministers of the Tang Dynasty are not only Confucian, this is a real fraternity, a dynasty of integration, in fact, before the Sui Dynasty.

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Confucianism alone, Confucianism was only powerful before the Tang Dynasty, but it had not yet reached the point of full respect.

The real dominance of Confucianism came to the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was at its peak.

In the Tang Dynasty, there are all academic schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, and Mohistism.

But no matter which one it is, the ancient sages advocated peace, and it is better not to fight, and the sages who discuss the disadvantages of war are full of essays.

The grandson of the soldier family has said that the soldier, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored, and such things as fighting a war should be considered and treated very seriously.

Therefore, there are very few civil officials who are not opposed to war, as long as it is not necessary, non-essential war, civilian officials are almost unanimously opposed.

But as long as there is a war among the generals, there is no reason to oppose it, especially in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there were so many awesome generals, none of them were afraid of war, and when they heard that the emperor wanted to fight, they were screaming for support.

Civil officials and military generals are on the opposite side again.

However, civil officials and military generals can't influence the emperor, and the emperor has been fighting in recent years, as long as he makes up his mind, he will not change with the opposition of others.

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind, and from now on, I will prepare for war, and transfer Shi Li Ji, the governor of the prefecture, as the general manager of the Liaodong Provincial March, and Li Daozong, the secretary of the Wangli Department of Jiangxia County, as the general manager of the Pyongyang Provincial Marching Army, and lead 100,000 troops to attack Goguryeo, and the crown prince of Luozhou, Zhan Shi Zhang Liang, will be the general manager of the Canghaedo March, and lead the naval division to march from the sea, and jointly attack Baekje with Silla, Goguryeo ..........."

Li Shimin issued a series of orders, and the ministers found that the candidates for the general manager of the march were all to be transferred from all over the country, and the second-level general of the march was generals such as Qi He Li and Niu Jinda.

Several military bigwigs were very unwilling, they were right in front of them, how could they let someone else pick peaches. But they can't help it, look at the emperor transferred these are not worse than them, the key is the governor or long history of the feudal king's territory, especially Li Ji, is the chief of the metropolitan governor's fief of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and the metropolitan governor is held by Li Zhi, I have to make people think that the emperor is worried that the son who is sealed out will be too close to the general in the army, so let them be separated for a while.

In order to make the crown prince's position as stable as a rock, the emperor would not find it strange if he did anything.

"Report, Goguryeo urgent report."

Just when Li Shimin said the names of the generals one by one to appoint the posts, suddenly an inner attendant ran in from outside. Xiao De hurriedly went to take the letter from the chamberlain's hand, turned around and trotted to hand it to the emperor.

"Read." Li Shimin didn't look at it directly, and the ministers of civil and military affairs below looked at it with concern, since it was an urgent report from Goguryeo, then read it out and everyone listened to it.

"There was a rebellion in Goguryeo, and the eastern lord and the great pair Lu Yuangai Suwen held a banquet to besiege and kill 100 Goguryeo ministers, and the king of Goguryeo was ,,,, and dismembered in the palace."

At the end of the reading, Xiao De's shocked eyes widened, the dignified king was actually divided by the courtiers, this death was too miserable.

"Boom." The Tang Dynasty ministers below were all blown up.

Killing the monarch is a great rebellion, not to mention the division of the corpse, which is almost no one will follow people like China except for some careerists, just like killing Emperor Yang of Sui Yu Wenhua and.

Emperor Yang of Sui was right before he was killed, even if he rebelled, even if he wanted to kill the emperor, but the Son of Heaven had his own way of death, how could he use a sword against the Son of Heaven.

Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to take poisoned wine and die, but Yu Wenhua and others did not listen, and strangled Emperor Yang of Sui alive, although he did not use the knife, but he carried out strangulation.

In the end, it was to follow Yu Wenhua and rebel, and even Sima Dejiao, Zhao Xingshu and the general Chen Botu, who had the idea of rebellion earlier than Yu Wenhua, all wanted to kill Yu Wenhua and .

Although he was defeated and killed by Yu Wenhua, it also proved that killing the monarch was really very unacceptable.

In the end, Yu Wenhua and his death were also captured alive and executed according to the crime of killing the king, because he successively killed Emperor Yang of Sui and the newly established puppet emperor Yang Hao, and the end was that his head was directly cut off.

If he hadn't killed the king, according to his identity, he would have been poisoned or let him hang himself, and he would never have cut off his head.

In China, the life and death of an emperor can only be decided by another monarch under normal circumstances. Because the status of the monarch and the monarch is equal, if others are not respectful, it is not an offended monarch, but a group of monarchs.

Just like Hou Junji arrested so many kings of the Western Regions, the king's family, there must be bullying, but he never dares to go too far, let alone do anything to these kings' family members, otherwise what awaits him will definitely be a knife after returning home.

Because Li Shimin will think, since you dare to do these things to these kings' families, it means that you have no respect for the royal power at all, so I don't know what you do to me as an emperor in your heart.

What people fear most is that there is no reverence, and those who do not have reverence will either destroy themselves or be destroyed by others.

People who are not in awe and who are not controlled are what the emperor fears the most.
