In the autumn and July of the second year of Yonglong of the Tang Dynasty, King Jin Famin of Silla saw that the rule of the Tang Dynasty in Goguryeo's hometown was becoming more and more stable, and all the people returned to their hearts, and his heart was faintly uneasy. He also immediately demanded that Silla hand over the murderer and make compensation, but he did not expect Silla to flatly refuse, and immediately sent troops to attack the Governor of Kumjin Prefecture.

In this case, Li Duozuo led the army to resist on the one hand, and on the other hand, sent people to contact Xue Rengui, the protector of Andong, and asked for troops to be sent to support. Of course, he did not forget to write to the imperial court, asking for a crusade against Silla.

When Xue Rengui's letter reached the imperial court, it immediately caused a fierce debate, and the topic of the debate was naturally whether to start a war with Silla.

"Zhongqing, now that the Xiongjin Prefecture Governor's Mansion is being attacked by Silla, its Governor Li Duozuo has written to ask for help, asking me to send a large army to Silla in the Tang Dynasty, I don't know what Zhongqing thinks?" Gaozong was in slightly better health because of Princess Taiping's marriage, and when he saw the report, he went to the court with the Empress Wu in good spirits, ready to listen to the opinions of the ministers, so he spoke first.

First of all, I heard Pei Yan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the king of Silla and my Tang Dynasty have always been friendly, the reason why this misunderstanding was caused was because of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion Sima Liu Ape Fei military training, that Liu Ape flew away and lost the soldiers, just look around, there is no need to search the other party's city, as a result, the Silla side was annoyed and angry, which caused the two sides to break up, according to the old ministers, it is better to ask Liu Ape Fei for the crime, so that the anger of Silla will naturally subside, and Silla will restore the old friendship with my Tang Dynasty, so, A war was invisible, and His Majesty's sacred heart was benevolent, which made my Tang Dynasty and Silla less of a war disaster, which must be a special book of history. ”

At this time, I heard a person shouting loudly: "Pei Yan is a traitor, and he deserves to die for his crimes!" Your Majesty, although Silla has been attached to my Tang Dynasty for a long time, but the bad intentions have long been there, since Goguryeo was pacified, more than this secretly instigated the people of Goguryeo to rebel, fortunately my Tang Dynasty has good generals to guard, and foiled its conspiracy again and again, which made its conspiracy fail to succeed, but although my Datang is magnanimous, the thief is wild and does not change, and must be swept away with the power of thunder, in order to make my northeast border completely peaceful. ”

When everyone heard this, they found that the person turned out to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the general of the right guard of the school, the third product of the Tongzhong Shumen, and Pei Xingjian, the guest of the prince.

It turned out that since the last time Pei Yan treacherously killed the surrendered Turkic leader and framed Pei Xingjian in injustice, Pei Xingjian decided to resign and quit under his grief and anger, but was persuaded by Li Xian, so he gave up such a plan, and it happened that at this time the Turks rebelled again, Pei Yan in order to further frame Pei Xingjian, once again recommended him as a general, led the army to quell the Turkic rebellion, and tried to use the Turkic hatred of Pei Xingjian's treachery to defeat Pei Xingjian, as a result, Pei Xingjian won five battles and five victories, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, After defeating the Turks and returning home, Gaozong was overjoyed when he heard the news, and despite the opposition of Empress Wu, he appointed Pei Xingjian to be the third product of the Zhongshu Sect and the guest of the prince, and brought a strong reinforcement for Li Xian.

Since Pei Yan disregarded the affection of the clan and framed Pei Xingjian like this, Pei Xingjian naturally no longer flinched, he is now also ranked as the prime minister, although Pei Yan is in a high position, but now that the other party said this is obviously unreasonable, how could he not refute it?

At this time, I heard Cui Zhiyi, the secretary of the household department, say: "Although this is the case, my Tang Dynasty has been fighting again and again in the past few years, coupled with the wedding of Princess Taiping a few days ago, the cost is huge, and the finances are difficult to support, if there is a war with Silla again, I am afraid that the people will complain......

Cui Zhiyi is a close confidant of the Empress Wu, in charge of the finances of the Tang Dynasty, and has always been known as the money bag of the Empress Wu, and his opinion actually represents the meaning of the Empress Wu, so after he finished speaking, the elites of the Hou Party all bowed down and said: "What Cui Shangshu said is reasonable, and the ministers seconded it." ”

But I didn't expect that at this moment, only one person could be heard sneering: "What does Cui Shangshu mean by this?" Could it be that His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven spent extravagance in order to marry their daughters, resulting in a deficit in the treasury? Hehe, don't say that His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven didn't spend too much, even if it really cost a lot, it was also the parents' love for their daughter, but Cui Shangshu complained so much, could it be that he wanted to trap His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven in injustice? Cui Zhiyi, what are your intentions? Said it gave you the guts again? Well? ”

The person who spoke was Shangguan Wan'er, the female official who was driving beside Empress Wu, her words were clearly helping Gaozong and Empress Wu to speak, accusing Cui Zhiyi of being bold and daring to point out that the emperor was wasting luxury, as soon as Shangguan Wan'er said this, not to mention that Gaozong's face was pale, and even Empress Wu's face was not good-looking, so she snorted heavily.

Cui Zhiyi saw the expression of the emperor, especially the cold snort of the Empress Wu, he was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, wiped the cold sweat on his head regardless of it, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, Weichen, Weichen doesn't mean that, Weichen means that there is no need to fight this battle, it is too expensive, the treasury, the treasury is really about to bottom, and it can't support this war at all......"

The more Cui Zhiyi said, the more gloomy the Empress Wu's face became, and finally impatiently gave an order to drag Cui Zhiyi out of the hall and order him to reflect outside the hall.

After such a farce, the scene suddenly cooled down, and after a while, there was a Chinese letter to Cui Zhiwen and said: "Your Majesty, the queen of heaven, Cui Zhiyi's words collided, it is indeed hateful, but what he said is right, the conquest of Silla costs a lot, and at this time I can't help but worry, I believe that Silla also knows that I am strong and prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, and I dare not really go against it, I only need to show sincerity, and hand over the troublesome Yingzhou Governor's Mansion Sima Liu Yufei, and don't care about the merchants who were killed, Silla will definitely know how to withdraw the army, Your Majesty, Why should Your Majesty hesitate to use a small Governor Sima and a few lowly merchants to end a war and bring Silla back into submission? ”

"This ...... What do you think? Hearing this, Gaozong was obviously a little hesitant, and couldn't help asking.

At this time, Li Xian stood up, and said to Gaozong and Empress Wu: "Father, mother, sons, and ministers think that this is inappropriate, thinking that the reason why my Datang has made the four seas obey is not only benevolence and righteousness, but also a strong national strength. What's more, Silla is ambitious, and for more than ten years, there have been many conspiracies, many attempts to encroach on the territory and unify the three Koreas, such wolf ambitions, if they are not curbed, I am afraid that once there is a change in the future, the hometown of Baekje and Goryeo is not owned by my Tang Dynasty, the father and the emperor, the queen mother, and listen to the words of the sons, on the side of the couch, he allows others to sleep soundly? That Silla will eventually be a big disaster, if I can take advantage of this to calm it down in one fell swoop, how many fertile fields can I open up in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty? How many people do you feed? How many garrisons are reduced? How much wealth to save? This is a major event for the benefit of the community and the people, and I also ask my father and mother to think twice. (To be continued.) )
