Chapter 268: Li Ji is very upright

Li Ji landed with a word, and the ministers in the palace breathed a sigh of relief, if someone is willing to come out like this!

Ministers, can discuss face-to-face with the emperor in the Manna Palace, no matter how good the relationship between these ministers is, and how dignified they are, but if you want to talk about hypocrisy, everyone will, don't say that civil servants like the eldest grandson Wuji, even the generals are no exception!

Li Ji said that he was willing to go, and the first thought in the eldest grandson Wuji's heart was joy, but then he sighed in his heart, if he wanted to be honest and selfless, he really couldn't compare to Li Ji!

Fang Xuanling was also a little happy, and sighed in his heart, I participated in the planning of the Xuanwumen Change, and the credit was not small, but the emperor compared Li Ji to the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty, I am not even a battlement, I used to be unconvinced, but now it seems that ...... I'm a battlement at best!

Wei Chigong thought in his heart: "When the emperor feasted the ministers, someone's seat was above me, and I blinded his eyes in a fit of anger, and I hated to line up the most in my life, when others lined up in front of me!" But you Li Ji is ahead of me, I obey, you old boy, you are better than me! ”

Cheng Zhijie touched his beard and thought to himself: "Li Ji'er, don't think that you are better than me in everything. Hmph, I'm better than you, I can pick an axe, will you? ”

Li Shimin hummed and said, "Okay, then it's hard work!" ”

Even if this matter is decided, everyone agrees that the black pot is carried by Li Ji, which is very good, very good, very good! But everyone spoke out against it together, expressing deep sympathy for Li Ji, and having a lot of friendship with colleagues!

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Mao Gong, you have to know the evil of smallpox, you have had smallpox, but you have children at home who have not had it, in case you come back, your clothes are accidentally contaminated with smallpox, and Wang Ping'an has not succeeded in preventing it, won't your family be affected!" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Mao Gong, you are not happy, you can just send someone to do this kind of thing, why do you bother to go in person!" ”

Wei Chigong was a little ashamed in his heart, and said, "Mao Gong, why don't I go with you?" ”

Cheng Zhijie also said: "Mao Gong, we are all old brothers, why don't I accompany you...... Let Jingde accompany you! ”

Li Ji scolded in his heart: "You bad old men, you are as bad as you want!" Why didn't you speak just now, but when the emperor said that he had worked hard for me, after this matter was settled, you were scrambling to fart, trying to smoke me to death? ”

He was very "grateful" and said: "Brothers, I have received all your kindness. Smallpox is too dangerous, and as you have seen, I am sick, and I have one more day to live, so I will earn one more day, so let me go. Anyway, let me do something for the Tang Dynasty and the emperor before I die, and it won't be in vain! ”

He turned around, patted the back of Wei Chigong's hand, and said, "Thank you Brother Jingde, I understand your kindness, our own brothers, it's too vain to say anything else!" ”

Everyone nodded together, yes, it's too empty to say anything else, it's enough to be virtual, why be too empty, how embarrassing!

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Nothing else matters, what matters is how to keep this matter secret, at least in the next two years of tomorrow, the news of smallpox prevention cannot be transmitted to Goguryeo." I discussed it with Wuji, and I wanted to make use of those messengers......"

He talked about the method he had discussed with the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was all smart people present, and he didn't need to go into too much detail, they were all characters who could understand it at all!

After hearing what the emperor said, the ministers nodded their heads one after another, and they all agreed, this method is good, even if the prevention of smallpox is spread throughout the country, it will not spread to Goguryeo within two to three years.

The terrible thing about smallpox is that it will cause many children to die young, if Datang deliberately ...... No, the people of the Tang Dynasty are all good people, and they will never do anything that violates morality, that is, some bad people deliberately go to Goguryeo with smallpox, so that the plague spreads, then it will definitely cause thousands of young children in Goguryeo to die, so that there will be no follow-up in Goguryeo, and the national strength will be greatly damaged, and it will be much easier to destroy it!

After hearing this, Li Ji coughed a few times, spit out a large mouthful of phlegm, stood up, and said loudly: "Why do you have to do this? The old minister dared to ask the emperor whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to distinguish the smallpox disease? ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Of course it's a good thing, although there are many major events in the world, but there are few that are better than this matter!" ”

Li Ji said again: "I am the Tang Dynasty Huanghuang Heavenly Dynasty, and the emperor is respected as the Heavenly Khan by all countries, and he is the co-lord of the world, no matter who is in the world, they are the subjects of the emperor, including the Goguryeo people, although they resist the power of the Heavenly Empire, but they still recognize my Tang Dynasty as their suzerain in the national letter, is it possible that the emperor has a new law that can prevent smallpox, and will not tell the Goguryeo people and let them continue to be disturbed by the plague?" ”

These words are quite like the flavor of "Spring and Autumn Sages", and the kings and ministers of the palace are speechless, and everyone scolds in their hearts, Goguryeo is an enemy country, Goguryeo people are enemies, they don't die, it's your business, I want you to talk nonsense here, what big truths do you say. If you want to be more reasonable, let's have a special meeting to see who shouts louder!

After being silent for a long time, facing the arrogant Li Ji, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "That's what I said, what about the truth, it's also the same truth, but ...... Zi said: Learn and learn from time to time, not to say. We all know too little about the truth of governing the world, and we have to think about it in the long run! ”

The most difficult thing in the world to refute is the great truth, sometimes we know that it is wrong and not practical, but as long as we stand on the starting point of "morality", even if it is a crooked reason, it is difficult to refute!

Li Ji said: "What Wuji Gong said is wrong, such an ordinary truth, do you still want me to wait to turn the books?" He coughed a few more times and spit out a mouthful of phlegm, then he hugged his fist at Li Shimin and said loudly: "Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the old ministers, after we have identified a way to prevent smallpox, we should immediately send it to Goguryeo, so that they can quickly inform all the Goguryeo people so that their people will not be disturbed by the smallpox disease!" ”

The people in the hall shouted together, thinking in their hearts: "Mao Gong, it's hot, look at the burn of you, hurry home and drink some mung bean soup!" ”

Cheng Zhijie really can't listen to it, Li Ji is usually shrewd, why is he confused today! He said in a loud voice: "Why do we have to send the things we have worked so hard to distinguish to the Goguryeo people, why do we want to cheapen them, even if you go up to the chase to pat their ass and deliver good things to them, they will not accept your affection, but will say that this method is not easy to use, it is a lie to them, if you don't believe it, just watch it...... Hey, oh, ah! ”

He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "yes, I'll have to tell them how to do it early!" ”

The kings and ministers of the palace suddenly realized, yes, this method should have been given to the Goguryeo people as soon as possible, and it must not be kept secret from them!

For normal people's thinking, let's not talk about the Tang Dynasty people, let's talk about modern people first, if anyone wins the jackpot, then under normal circumstances, except for very special circumstances, this person will keep secrets, few people will shout around, saying that I won the jackpot, I got rich overnight, I have a lot of money, everyone comes to my house to drink bars!

Under normal circumstances, no one would do this, even if they went to receive the award, they would wear a big mask and sunglasses!

For the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, they are not friends, they are mortal enemies, the former Sui expedition to Goguryeo, how many people died, I can't count, and Li Shimin personally went east, but also suffered a loss. For the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo must be destroyed, it must be destroyed, there is no room for negotiation, even if Goguryeo surrenders, it will not work, it must be destroyed!

The same is true for the Goguryeo people. If there are good things, Datang will definitely not be able to think of themselves, but if there are bad things, they will definitely think of themselves! We won't believe anything you Datang people say, so you can save it!

The more they kept the matter a secret from Goguryeo, the more their spies would find out about it and report it back to their homeland. But on the other hand, if the Tang Dynasty sends an envoy to tell Goguryeo upside down, the result is just the opposite, even if the Goguryeo people are hung up and smoked, forced to believe in this matter, even if they are smoked to death, they will not believe it!

Li Shimin and Eldest Sun Wuji both used normal thinking at the beginning, and they both wanted to keep it secret, but they didn't expect Li Jiyi to think about it with abnormal thinking, and as a result, they suddenly came up with the correct answer!

Li Shimin thought to himself: "Mao Gong's thoughts on the Goguryeo people have been studied very thoroughly, and it seems that those who destroy this fang in the future will undoubtedly be Mao Gong!" ”

Wei Chigong slapped his thigh and shouted: "Husband, act above board, this matter is beneficial to the whole world, how can you not tell the Goguryeo people?" Be sure to tell them! ”

Eldest Sun Wuji also nodded and said, "Yes, this matter should indeed be told to them." But the old man is afraid that they will have a misunderstanding, gentlemen, you must know that to prevent smallpox, you must first get smallpox, when the old man first heard about it, he didn't believe it, and when he told the emperor, the emperor didn't believe it. So what if we tell the Goguryeo people that they don't believe it? ”

Fang Xuanling said very energetically: "Then tell them in detail, the more detailed the better!" ”

The people in the temple thought to themselves, "I'm afraid that the more detailed we say, the more they will think that we are lying, and the more they will not believe it!" ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." The Goguryeo people are also my people, and I really have to tell them about this, and I really should tell them! ”

"Yes, we must tell them about this, and as soon as it is confirmed, we must tell Goguryeo with a fast horse, so that their people will be free from the evil disease of smallpox!" The ministers said together.

Li Ji sat down and said: "Since this is the case, the prevention of smallpox should not be kept secret, but should be widely publicized, and the invention of Shangshu Province will be announced to the world, so that the people can cooperate and prove this law as soon as possible!" ”

Li Shimin said: "Yes, this matter will be handed over to Wuji!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said loudly: "The minister will handle this matter well, the emperor can rest assured!" ”

Li Shimin stood up and said to the ministers: "Three days later, I will tell the heavens at the Chengtian Gate, although the smallpox disease has a heavenly character, it is not a punishment from God to my Tang Dynasty, this should not be the suffering of my Tang people." However, even if it is a punishment from heaven, what can people do, people can overcome the sky, and I, the Tang monarchs, are united in our hearts and swear to fight this evil disease to the end! ”

"Man is better than heaven!" The ministers stood up together and shouted loudly!

Wang Ping'an slept until the afternoon, then woke up, washed his face, and walked out of the bedroom, before he could reach the front yard, he saw Ouyang Li running over in a panic, holding a large handful of scrolls in his hand!

Ouyang Li shouted: "Master, the big thing is not good, there are hundreds of scholars outside the temple, all clamoring to see you!" They say they want to throw a ticket at you, and beg you to be their confidant! ”

As he spoke, he shook the scroll in his hand at Wang Ping'an, and said: "They actually stuffed all the scrolls to me, and I had to ask the master to go out, no matter how to drive them, they refused to leave!" ”

Wang Ping'an was taken aback and said, "What? Seeking a confidant? How...... How can I seek a confidant to come to me, I am not a celebrity, and I am not a big official......"

Before he finished speaking, he came back to his senses, how is he not a celebrity, not only a celebrity, but simply a celebrity, how is he not a big official, he has become a prefect, and he has become a generation of imperial doctors, for scholars who have no fame, he is already a quite big official!

Ouyang Li said: "Master, then do you want to go out to meet them?" ”

Wang Ping'an's face was depressed, can you not see it, if you don't go out to see it, I'm afraid there will be rumors soon, saying how arrogant and arrogant he is, looking down on others, and disrespecting literati! That's a big trouble, rumors have always been more and more outrageous, and there is a possibility of directly passing yourself into a bastard!

He stubbornly said, "Then let's go out and have a look, and ask them to go with kind words." These people are really, and I don't have much influence on scientific research. Beg me, it's better to beg Qiu Tingxuan, his future father-in-law is very powerful! ”

He walked out of the backyard and staggered into the front yard, Ouyang Li held the scroll and followed behind!

The front and back yards were not far away, and as soon as he stepped into the front yard, he saw hundreds of scholars sitting or standing in the courtyard, all neatly dressed, wearing scribe scarves on their heads, and swords at their waists, gathered in groups of three or five, not knowing what they were talking about!

As soon as they saw Wang Ping'an come out, these scholars immediately made a big uproar, shouted one after another, rushed over, and shouted, "Students, see Lord Wang!" Immediately, all the scholars fell to their knees!

As if it had been rehearsed in advance, the scholars shouted together: "The students are willing to ask the leader to review the students' poems, criticize and correct them, and the students are grateful!" ”

Wang Ping'an grinned and shouted: "Leader, what leader, when did I become a leader!" "It's a bit too big, it's really inappropriate to use it on yourself!

The scholars shouted together: "Lord Wang, you are the leader of my Tang Dynasty literary circle, looking at Chang'an, there is no other!" ”
