CHAPTER XVI
"The minister has his own music. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 During the meeting, Qin Qiong walked out and said to Li Shimin. "In the past, there were Turks who plagued my Tang Dynasty, and the calamity has been left to this day, and today it is punished to make the Turks suffer from God's curse, this is the heavens to see my Tang Dynasty's magnificent righteousness, for my Tang Dynasty to defeat this immortal enemy, to build this immortal merit, the minister thinks, it is worth this, by the power of heaven and earth, with the will of heaven and earth, to destroy the Turks."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he saw Qin Qiong stirring up this topic again, in fact, from his heart, Li Shimin supported sending troops. As an emperor through the ages, he was besieged by a fanbang in the capital, which was not allowed in his proud heart, but Li Shimin looked at Wenchen.
Sure enough, the ministers did not disappoint him, only to see the eldest grandson Wuji stand up and say directly: "Your Majesty, there is the rebellion of the Great Sui, the country is not for the country, the princes of all walks of life, each of them is divided, the war is endless, the people are miserable, and now a hundred ruins are waiting to be revived, if the court uses troops again, it will undoubtedly be worse for the people. ”
"Fart, Lord Eldest Sun, according to you, when will the Turks be quelled? The people have long been miserable to the Turks, when the old thief of Jieli, captured 5,000 of my Tang people, harassed every year, and then surrounded Chang'an, if it were not for His Majesty's wisdom and skillful tactics of doubtful soldiers, would you still have the share of gasping here? Now that I finally have this God-given opportunity, you are still grinding and chirping here, aren't you studying? Cheng Biting Jin didn't wait for others to speak, and was the first to stand up, but this time Qin Qiong didn't need others to help sweep the formation, and asked Cheng Biting Jin to speak, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop for a while, thinking of this, Qin Qiong couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Sure enough, after Cheng bit King Kong finished speaking, he saw Dai Guan, the head of the household department at that time, stand up and say, "Then I don't know what Lord Yi Cheng means?" ”
"According to the old man's meaning, of course, it is the same as the Duke of Yiguo, taking this opportunity to raise troops to the Turks, first, in addition to this trouble, my Datang can be cultivated in the real sense, second, it can also deter the frontier and promote the prestige of my Tang Dynasty, and third, it can also snow the pain of the year." Cheng Yanjin said with a big grin.
"I don't know, does Lu Guogong know the soldiers and horses needed to conquer the Turks? What is the geometry of grain and grass? How much money is it? Dai Xuan then threw out three questions, and did not wait for Cheng Yanjin to answer, so he said directly to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has always been benevolent, since the founding of the country, has been reducing taxes, and the people can feel a trace of living and working in peace and contentment in the troubled times, however, if the Turks are conquered at this time, not to mention the public opinion, just to maintain the consumption of war horses and grain and grass, the cost of conservatively estimating will be 2 million taels, Your Majesty, there are only 300,000 taels left in the treasury, and spring ploughing has arrived, and most of the people need relief, It is this time when the green and yellow are not connected, Your Majesty, you must not take the sword lightly. After speaking, Dai Xuan attached his hands to the ground, and the ministers also strongly seconded Dai Guan's statement.
Every time they talk about this, Cheng Biting Jin and they have nothing to say, but if they don't fight, this battle can't be fought, and it's a pity to miss such a good opportunity. The most important thing is that this can't be fought, how boring it should be to be idle, so every time the ministers cry poor, the generals will also argue in a tricky way. For example, Cheng Yanjin is one of the best.
"There is still a face to cry, under a huge country, you can't manage it well, the treasury is empty, our generals have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, you people should do a good job in the rear construction work, if these can't be done, what use do you want, it's better to let me Lao Cheng also make a household Shangshudang, at least, I won't let my soldiers, even when fighting, there is no food and grass."
"Cheng Lao Pifu, what do you mean, I have been conscientious and conscientious, are you slandering me for dereliction of duty and inaction? You make it clear to me, otherwise, even if it is above this golden palace, this official will not stop with you. When Dai Xuan heard Cheng Biting Jin's words, he was excited! Although I know that he also has a mouth running a train, but he doesn't necessarily think so in his heart, but this time the words are a bit heavy, if he doesn't speak, I'm afraid that it will really make people misunderstand something.
"Enough!" Li Shimin looked at the noisy group of civil and military ministers below who were scolding his mother, and could no longer control the suppressed mood in his heart for this time, and roared: "Tell me about you, what does it look like a national prince?" Yes? Above the Golden Palace, you still don't repair the inspection points and talk nonsense, what do you want to do? Want to be angry? ”
"Ministers deserve death!" Looking at the Son of Heaven above, Long Yan was furious, and the ministers shouted for death again. Li Shimin witnessed all this, and suddenly felt so good. Can't you save your worries for me?
Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said to Wang De next to him: "On this golden palace, you should remember that after a while of dispersing the dynasty, you will replace me, and collect a year's worth of money from door to door, and fill it into the treasury. ”
"Your Majesty, can you allow the minister to say a few words?" Qin Qiong saw it like this again, although she knew that the Sacred Heart was displeased, but she couldn't help but think of the plan that Qin Huaidao said to herself yesterday.
"Say!" Li Shimin said happily, and at the same time thought happily in his heart, and created an income for the treasury, hehe.
"The reason why Wechen mentioned the Turkic matter is not to conquer the Turks at this time, but to implement the policy of pushing grace." Qin Qiong said
"Push the favor?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.
"Your Majesty should know that Tuli was supposed to succeed to the throne of Khan, but it was taken by his uncle, which is nothing, after all, he is still a little Khan of the Turks, but after all, he is only a little Khan, ordered by Jieli, according to the informant, Tuli was whipped and imprisoned by Jieli for several months due to the defeat last year, and it is impossible to say that there is no hatred, we just need to amplify this hatred infinitely."
"Hehe, we've done all of this, and you don't know that Tuli person, to be honest, he should belong to the kind of person who drags his allies back, and he has been dragged to the root of his thighs, pointing at him What else can he do." Li Shimin said with a sneer, thinking of the previous few Tuli secret songs, he was afraid of Jieli's obscenity, and turned to Datang ruthlessly, and he was really angry.
"The Admiral thinks we can still give him a chance." Qin Qiong said mysteriously.
"Oh, Shubao, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't keep selling Guanzi, okay? I was tired when I heard it. Cheng Yanjin said impatiently beside him.
"At the end of the past few days at home thinking, and finally found some mistakes before, although the Turki said that we have an alliance, but my Tang Dynasty has been through the war, and it has shown weakness to the Turks, so the Turks are afraid of their uncles, and they don't trust the Tang Dynasty, and now the Turks are worth this heavenly punishment, Your Majesty can issue an order, just say that the Turki Khan and my Tang Dynasty have made friends, and now it is a natural disaster, I can't bear it, so I specially approved 5,000 deniers of grain and 50,000 pieces of clothing, hoping to tide over this difficult time for the Turki Khan and his Turkic Department, The word Jieli cannot be mentioned in the holy decree, but it can only be said that he was funded for the sake of Tuli's face, and at the same time, the spies on Jieli's side also had to spread the news, saying that Tuli had secretly defected to the Tang Dynasty, and that he was the orthodox Turkic royal family, and that there was a conspiracy for his father's death. After the rumors here spread, Jieli may feel that it is a conspiracy, but there are some words, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, but once outsiders talk about it, it will make people suspicious, Your Majesty will continue to fund Tuli at this time, just to have a degree, can only ensure that Tuli himself is still shortcomings, then Jieli in order to verify the rumors, will definitely let Tuli bring materials, to help himself, but Tuli himself is not enough, how can he help others? At that time, His Majesty will let the fine work continue to expand the rumors, that is, Jieli is a conspiracy to seize the position of the Khan, continue to expand, when the time comes, the major tribes will be hesitant to Jieli's order, but Jieli's reputation is still there, His Majesty can continue to show grace to Tuli, Jieli will order Tuli to rescue again, at this time the rumors are flourishing, Tuli will refuse, at this time Jieli will send troops to test Tuli, we just need to make a strong appearance of Tuli. ”
