Chapter 1240: Stick Three Kingdoms
Father-in-law Shun was waiting for the order outside the gate of Wangbei Pavilion, and when he heard the call of His Majesty Li Er, he ran in in a hurry.
His Majesty Li Er called Shun Gonggong in, of course, not to let him be the secretary of the military department, picked up a letter and handed it to Shun Gonggong fairly: "A few days ago, I received a letter sent by King Jin Baijing of Silla, Dong Shun, I will write the letter of King Jin Baijing of Silla to all of you to listen to~"
"His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, the order of the ministers will not be long in coming! The vassal kingdom of Silla is in danger! Ministers can't serve the Heavenly Khan! ......" Father-in-law Shun's sharp voice sounded in the Wangbei Pavilion.
It turned out that this Jin Baijing was here to ask His Majesty Li Er for help this time!
At this time, the Korean Peninsula was dominated by the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, attacking each other. Among them, Goguryeo was the most powerful, and Silla and Baekje were half a catty.
It stands to reason that at this time it should be that Silla and Baekje should have joined forces against Goguryeo.
But how can ordinary people predict the thinking circuits of people on the Korean Peninsula? In fact, Silla and Baekje have never been united, and they are the ones who fight the hardest.
After Kim Baek-jeong ascended the throne, he worked hard, and during his reign of more than 50 years, he attacked Baekje many times, beating Baekje so much that his mother didn't know him.
Baekje couldn't defeat Jin Baijing, so he had to find an alliance with Goguryeo.
Originally, in terms of national strength, Silla was stronger than Baekje, and with Goguryeo, Kim Baekje couldn't resist it, and not only spit out all the Baekje territory that he had defeated, but also damaged his own country a lot.
This is not a big problem, the key is that Jin Baijing is in his seventies this year, and he feels that his time is running out. Jin Baijing had no sons, only four daughters. To whom will this throne be given? He wanted to pass it on to his daughter, Kindman. The fact that a woman is the king is too shocking to the world, and as soon as he shows his mouth slightly, there is an immediate uproar in the Silla court.
At this time, Baekje attacked Dangxiang City, an important town in Silla, and under internal and external troubles, Jin Baijing really had no choice but to ask His Majesty Li Er for help.
Of course, in this letter, Kim Baek-jeong also gave Goguryeo and Baekje a lot of eye medicine, for example, Goguryeo and Baekje have long been disobedient to His Majesty Li Er, and Baekje attacked Silla's Dangxiang City in order to prevent Silla from claiming to be a vassal to the Tang Heavenly Khan. Finally, he also suggested that His Majesty Li Er should quickly send troops to nip the danger in the bud and destroy Goguryeo and Baekje.
The above is the understanding of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Guo Ye Guo.
However, the other ministers didn't see it that way, and after listening to Jin Baijing's letter, they were all furious, and there were many discussions, and they all angrily accused Goguryeo and Baekje of not taking the Tang Dynasty in their eyes, knowing that Silla was the first country to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and they even dared to violate the border. It's really too bad for Datang to save face.
Guo Ye listened to it funny, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje have been attacking each other for hundreds of years, they eat dogs and dogs, what is the matter with Datang? As for Dangxiang City, it is indeed a necessary place for Silla to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, but the problem is that for this place, the three kingdoms have been fighting for more than 100 years, and it is too far-fetched to say that Baekje besieged Dangxiang City in order to prevent Silla from paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty.
Guo Ye wondered in his heart, what does this matter have to do with His Majesty Li Er's successive promotions of several old ministers today? For this little thing, is it worth His Majesty Li Er's big fight?
His Majesty Li Er saw that everyone else was talking about it and advocating justice, but Guo Ye stood out from the crowd and didn't say a word, and asked: "It is said that the matter of foreign vassals should be mediated by your Ministry of Rites, I don't know what Guo Aiqing's opinion is?" ”
Guo Ye replied disapprenously: "Whether it is Goguryeo or Silla Baekje, they are all foreign vassals of my Tang Dynasty, and they are both His Majesty's people. Don't favor one over the other. As long as they all respect the Son of Heaven of Datang, I Datang should not interfere too much in the affairs between them. ”
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Guo Aiqing, you are confused! Goguryeo and Baekje nominally surrendered to my Datang, but in fact, they have never taken me Datang seriously. Goguryeo is still building the Great Wall for thousands of miles, who is it to defend against, isn't it my Datang? As for Baekje, nominally he was a vassal to my Tang Dynasty, but secretly he was a vassal to Goguryeo. One servant serves two masters, the first rat at both ends, and its heart can be punished! Only Silla has always been submissive to the Tang Dynasty, and they joined forces to attack Silla, which is Silla! It's my face! I can't even protect Silla, what face do I have to call the Khan of Heaven? ”
Guo Ye secretly slandered, you are too face-saving, are you tired?
Goguryeo and Baekje are not good things, but what about Silla? On the surface, he is obedient, but in his heart, I am afraid that he also has the intention of using the Tang Dynasty to eliminate the enemy and unify Korea. It's good for them to fight, the three countries are not good birds, and the more people who die, the better. The weaker the national strength of the Three Kingdoms, the more peaceful the borders of our Datang will be.
However, it is not Guo Ye's style to have a hard top with His Majesty Li Er, and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is too good!" Goguryeo and Baekje ignored His Majesty's dragon power and attacked Silla, which is really a heinous crime! Wechen was short-sighted and couldn't recognize the wolf ambitions of Goguryeo and Silla, and he was really ashamed. Fortunately, His Majesty's reminder was able to see through their true colors. Your Majesty, you are really far-sighted, and the five-body throw that Weichen admires! ”
It's not that Guo Ye can't shoot it, but considering that Wei Zheng is here, if it's too numb, Guo Ye didn't dare to say it.
Otherwise, Wei Zheng, who had just been promoted, would immediately put a big cap on Guo Ye as a "chaotic minister and thief, traitorous villain"!
Eternal Mingjun can't beat the sycophant army, His Majesty Li Er nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great." In fact, Guo Aiqing has made great contributions many times, and he still has knowledge. It's a pity that I still don't read much, and I don't know much about foreign affairs. I still have to read more books in the future, so I won't make such jokes. Since all the secretaries think that Goguryeo and Baekje have a heart of disobedience, let's discuss what we should do in the Tang Dynasty now, right? ”
Li Daozong looked at Guo Ye and smiled at His Majesty Li Er, and said in his heart, Is this Guo Ye's way to success? If he can do it, I can do it. Anyway, just follow the emperor's words, it's not difficult.
So, he hurriedly preemptively said: "Goguryeo attacked my Tang vassal kingdom without the consent of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, because it was not a minister." The ministers are willing to personally unify the army and conquer Goguryeo to relieve His Majesty's worries! ”
Who knew that His Majesty Li Er glared at him angrily, and said in his heart that if Goguryeo was so easy to fight, I still need to worry?
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "King Jiangxia is loyal and commendable, I am very relieved, sit down!" ”
His Majesty Li Er said words of encouragement, but there was an expression on his face that I did not know as well as you.
Alas, Li Daozong guessed the beginning, but didn't guess the end!
Wei Zheng said: "For Goguryeo, the king of Jiangxia should not be despised . I think that at the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui's million-strong army and three expeditions to Goguryeo were all defeated. How to deal with it still needs to be considered in the long run! ”
Li Jing retorted dissatisfiedly: "Lord Wei should not be too ambitious in Goguryeo and destroy the prestige of my Tang Dynasty." Emperor Yang of Sui is the king of the dead country, how can he compare to my Tang Emperor? Your Majesty, I would like to raise an army of 100,000 and capture the infant king of Goguryeo to dance for you! ”
His Majesty Li Er nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Infant Yang King is seventy or eighty years old, and dancing is nothing to look at, so let him live in Chang'an City." Well, the defense of the country is commendable! Give Ruyi a handful! ”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Zheng was nothing, but Li Daozong was so angry!
He pondered, what is the difference between what Li Jing said and me? If you treat me with a nose that is not a nose and a face that is not a face, how can you reward Li Jing with wishful thinking? Feelings, Your Majesty, are you watching people put down dishes? it!
Belch...... In fact, he was right to think so, His Majesty Li Er had confidence in Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, to defeat Goguryeo, but he had little confidence in him Li Daozong.
Kong Yingda also said: "I am a big country, how can I allow a small country to provoke, and I also ask Your Majesty to send a large army to conquer Goguryeo!" ”
Duan Zhixuan said: "The minister reconsiders!" ”
Wei Ting said: "The minister also reconsiders!" ”
Although Fang Xuanling was also dissatisfied with Goguryeo, he always felt a little wrong when it came to attacking Goguryeo. However, when everyone said that they wanted to fight, they didn't dare to refute it. Otherwise, His Majesty Li Er had just promoted him, and he would immediately give His Majesty Li Er a bad tune, and it would be too bad to give His Majesty Li Er face.
This is, really going to fight?
Guo Ye hurriedly searched for the memories of later generations, and it seemed that there was indeed a record in history of His Majesty Li Er's attack on Goguryeo, but the result was that His Majesty Li Er was defeated and lost, which became a stain on his life.
No, you want to stop His Majesty Li Er, but how to stop it?
At this moment, at this time, His Majesty Li Er suddenly asked: "Guo Qing, I see that you are also lacking in interest in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, according to me, only in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, can you display Guo Qing's talent!" ”
What?
The Minister of Culture went directly to the Minister of Defense?
Guo Ye's heart was pounding, and he subconsciously asked His Majesty Li Er, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" ”
