Although he had been mentally prepared, when he really saw this scene, His Majesty Li Er was still embarrassed, he glanced around, and snorted coldly: "Get up...... If you have something to say, you kneel at every turn, do you really think I am a dumb king? ”

Only then did the ministers stand up, and Zhang Liang patted his ass and said, "Your Majesty is too worried." You are humble and cautious, and you are like a stream, even if you are compared to the ancient Yao Shun, you are not far behind. In Weichen's opinion, you are really the first emperor of the ages! ”

"Huh? Humility? From the advice of the stream? ”

His Majesty Li Er glared at him fiercely and said, "Listen to what you mean, I will listen to you in everything, it is a generation of famous monarchs, Debi Yao Shun." If you don't listen to you, you're a dumbfounder. Is it me who is the emperor, or are you the emperor? ”

Only then did Zhang Liang realize that he had slapped the horse's legs, and His Majesty Li Er, who dared to love him, did not listen to everyone's advice and gave up the plan to attack Goguryeo.

He stammered and explained, "Wechen...... Wechen didn't mean that...... There is a good ...... from the advice However, it is sometimes very necessary to be arbitrary...... You can't generalize......"

"Then when do you think I should be dictatorial, and when should I follow the advice?"

"This ......" Zhang Liang had cold sweat on his forehead, and finally had to say: "Weichen is stupid, and he really doesn't know." ”

"Hmph, if you know you're stupid, don't talk nonsense! Do I still need you to teach you how to be a king? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

reprimanded Zhang Liang, and the evil fire in His Majesty Li Er's heart also spread a lot.

Then, he said to the crowd: "Why can't I personally conquer Goguryeo, I can't just oppose it, I must say that I am ugly." Wei Aiqing, you speak first. ”

Wei Zheng said: "Goguryeo has been very obedient in recent years, paying tribute every year, and being a minister every year. May I ask your Majesty, why do you have to conquer Goguryeo? ”

"It turns out that the surname of the lord of Goguryeo is Gao, and the surname of the current lord of Goguryeo is Yuan. Usurpers and thieves, everyone will be punished! ”

When Wei Zheng heard this, he was quite unimpressed.

He said: "I think that when Yuan Gai Suwen killed the Infant Yang King and established himself as the Great Mo Branch, you didn't send troops. When Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, cried blood and begged for the restoration of the country, you did not send troops. The news of Yuan Nanjian's killing of the Treasure King came, and you still didn't send troops. ”

He sneered and continued: "Why is it that now, Yuan Nan Jiandu has been on the throne for two years, and the people in the country are stable, but you think of sending troops?" Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the people of the world with this reason. ”

"Even if the first reason is not sufficient, I have a second reason. Goguryeo has long been disobedient to my Tang Dynasty, and its ambition to build the Great Wall is not small! ”

"Your Majesty, what you say is even more unreasonable, the Great Wall of Thousands of Miles, which was built during the reign of King Yingyang. Since Yuan Nanjian succeeded to the throne, the so-called thousand-mile Great Wall has not expanded an inch. Could it be that Yuan Nanjian wants to receive it on behalf of the Infant Yang King? ”

"That'...... Yuan Nanjian acted perversely, making the domestic people angry. The people of Goguryeo are also my people, so isn't it okay for me to hang the people for crimes? ”

"Perverse? Angry and resentful? Your Majesty, who told you this? Is there any evidence? Weichen heard that in the past two years, Yuan Nanjian has been lightly endowed with small endowments, resting with the people, and there has been no wanton expropriation. ”

His Majesty Li Er's words were just casually said, how could there be any evidence for him? Immediately choked on him and couldn't speak.

In the end, he said angrily: "Goguryeo was originally the location of the four counties of the Han Dynasty, and since I am the Son of Heaven, I should restore the homeland of the Han Dynasty." And what is the reason? ”

"It's not impossible for you to say that, but has Your Majesty figured out the consequences?" It was not Wei Zheng who spoke, but it was Shangshu's right servant who shot Fang Xuanling.

"The consequences? What are the consequences? ”

"If Your Majesty can destroy Goguryeo and include it in my Tang territory, it will indeed be a good thing. But...... What if it fails? I think that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's million-strong army failed to conquer Goguryeo, so there was a Li world. The lessons of the past are ahead, Your Majesty must not be careless! ”

"Emperor Yang of Sui is the king of the fallen country, how can he be compared with me?"

Fang Xuanling said without giving in: "It turns out that when he first conquered Goguryeo, Yang Guangke was called the 'Sage Khan', and his reputation may not be below you!" To put it mildly, do you know that Your Majesty will not follow in the footsteps of Emperor Yang of Sui? ”

"You...... Hmph, I don't know as much as you do! ”

The two ministers were resolutely opposed, and the reasons put forward were irrefutable, and His Majesty Li Er was also discouraged for a while, and said, "Duan Shangshu, what do you think?" ”

Duan Zhixuan said: "Weichen is in charge of the household department, please analyze it for His Majesty from the perspective of the household department." ”

"You speak!"

"Now the household department has enough money, and there is no need to raise taxes, and it is enough to supply the army to go on the expedition. Therefore, if you send troops to Goguryeo, you will definitely not be like Emperor Yang of Sui, which will cause the people's livelihood to wither, and the people will have to rebel. ”

"Are you in favor of me sending troops?"

"Not really. In fact, Wechen resolutely opposed His Majesty's expedition to Goguryeo! ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

Duan Zhixuan smiled slightly and said, "Because it's not cost-effective!" ”

"Not a good deal?"

"With Your Majesty's merits now, it is much more than the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, even if there is more to destroy Goguryeo, it is just the icing on the cake. But if you fail, it's a stain for life. Isn't it cost-effective with high risks and small benefits? ”

When His Majesty Li Er heard this, his heart was really moved, and he was almost persuaded by him, and said, "What do other people think?" ”

Kong Yingda said: "Lao Tzu has clouds, and the good soldier is an ominous weapon, and the sage has to use it as a last resort." If it is peaceful today, there is nothing to do in the four seas, and Goguryeo has always served respectfully. Wechen couldn't think of any need to use soldiers. ”

Li Daozong said: "The soldiers are in danger, who can dare to say that they will win?" According to Weichen, it's better not to fight. ”

"Wei Aiqing, what do you see?"

"Weichen is in a place of suspicion, of course, he can only persuade His Majesty to give up this expedition."

"A place of suspicion?" His Majesty Li Er understood as soon as he heard it, and he drove the expedition in person, so his hometown must also be guarded. In addition to leaving important ministers, he also had to be supervised by the prince.

Now his adult son is Li You alone. Wei Ting, as Li You's father-in-law, if he is persuaded to go on the expedition, it is really unclear.

His Majesty Li Er nodded, and said to Li Jing again: "Wei Guogong, as the god of the Tang Dynasty, you will win the attack and win the battle." What do you think about the expedition to Goguryeo? ”

Li Jing said: "If it is a battlefield fight, let alone a Goguryeo, even Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje are bundled together, and the ministers are not afraid." But I'm afraid, I'm only afraid, the Goguryeo walls are clear, and they avoid fighting without fighting. If Yuan Nanjian became a turtle with a shrunken head, Weichen would have no good way. ”

His Majesty Li Er muttered, "So, Wei Guogong doesn't approve of my expedition to Goguryeo? ”

"Your Majesty, the Goguryeo people are good at defending the city, and the world knows it. If it is a siege, it has to be hard-hitting, and there is no trick. To be honest, Wechen is not sure whether he can win. ”

"Duke E, you didn't kneel down just now, so you agree with me going on the expedition?"

The elder Hei waved his hand again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, don't get me wrong. Don't you know about me? Capture the flag, that's fine. But when it comes to advice, don't count on me. I have no opinion on whether to fight Goguryeo or not, but His Majesty's horse is the first to look forward. ”

This is the same as not saying it, His Majesty Li Er's nose was almost crooked, and with the last glimmer of hope, he looked at Guo Ye, the Duke of Qin.

This person has never let down himself, is this still the case?

"Qin Guogong, what do you think!"

Wei Chen thought that His Majesty's decision was very correct. Goguryeo must be beaten! ”
