"Why did Jieli send someone to say that he wanted peace talks?" Li Shimin said in surprise.

Although Li Shimin knew that the Turks would be willing to negotiate peace, he did not expect that the Turks would pinch their noses and admit it. At the beginning, the fight was inextricable, and now it looks like he wants to negotiate peace, as if the blood debt of tens of thousands of people is not the same thing at all. Li Shimin also turned around for a while, and his mind was still fighting.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, our Khan said that if the Tang Dynasty is willing to pay some monetary price, we can withdraw from the Tang Dynasty's borders. Moreover, the two sides re-established the covenant again, and the original tribute paid by the Tang Dynasty to the Turkic vassals doubled, and our two sides became allies again. As for General Li Junxian's killing of tens of thousands of our Turkic warriors this time, we will not pursue it further. Then he said the Turkic envoy.

Hearing that the Turks now want peace talks, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are very happy, because this crisis has been completely over. As long as the Turks are willing to negotiate peace, then the next thing will be much more convenient, at least the Tang Dynasty can be guaranteed, everyone's glory and wealth, and the results of a lifetime of struggle can also be guaranteed. As for the payment of floating wealth and the like, it is not a matter at all for those politicians. Although the wealth of the entire treasury may have to be given to the Turks, the current state of the Tang Dynasty does not have much money, so it is not a lot. As long as you recuperate for a few years, you will be able to get the money back.

After the Turkic envoy left, Li Shimin shouted excitedly: "This time, thanks to Jun Xian, the Turks were beaten badly, and they actually took the initiative to come to the door to sue for peace." Since the beginning of China, how many times have the grassland peoples taken the initiative to seek peace with our Chinese Han people? I can also do it, and the future of Datang is limitless! ”

"Long live Your Majesty!" "Long live Your Majesty!" "Long live Your Majesty!" ……

There were quite a few low-level civil officials below who began to shout, as if they had made this merit, and they were making sycophants! In fact, there were a lot of sycophants in the Tang Dynasty. As for Wei Zheng, according to Li Junxian's thinking as a politician, he was only forced to constantly oppose Li Shimin, and he was not really admonishing the country. He went against Li Shimin just to save his own life. As for why, this point is later in the table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how much money do you say you will give to the Turks this time? Xuan Ling, you say it first. Li Shimin asked suddenly.

Fang Xuanling first said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that as long as the Turks withdraw this time, we can accept as much as we want." What we need now is to recuperate, not to fight. ”

"Fart, we won, why should we give them wealth?" The Demon King of the Mixed World, Cheng Biting Jin, retorted first.

"That's right! If we win, we should give us wealth! If we want to give them wealth, we won't accept it! Wei Chigong also shouted.

Then, many generals objected to the granting of wealth to the Turks. Because he won the battle, why should he give wealth to the Turks?

And Li Junxian was also speechless to Li Shimin in his heart, what is this called! He lost the battle himself, and he wanted to give the Turks wealth and seek peace. But now that the war has been won, it is actually necessary to give the Turks wealth in exchange for the withdrawal of their troops. Li Junxian couldn't help but think of the era at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the Qing Dynasty obviously did not lose in the Vietnam battlefield, but it insisted on negotiating a land reparation, which was too speechless. It's normal to pay compensation if you lose, but if you win the battle, you can't get angry, then it's a bit too much to say.

At this time, Li Shimin turned his head and asked Li Junxian; "Jun Xian, this time you said how much wealth we plan to give to the Turks?"

A trace of anger flashed in Li Junxian's eyes, but instead he said: "The minister is a military general, so this kind of matter will be left to His Majesty to decide." ”

"See? Jun Xian, this is the style of a generation of famous generals! Don't interfere in political affairs easily, this is a qualified general! Li Shimin suddenly turned his head and shouted to the officers.

Li Junxian sighed, he knew that although Li Shimin was a general who was on the battlefield, he was more of an emperor and a politician. As politicians, they perceive war as a last resort. Politicians generally do not easily use war to solve problems, they use peaceful means when they can use peaceful means, and they will only use war when they encounter irreconcilable contradictions. The reason why Li Shimin led the generals to fight in the troubled times was that he was to become an emperor, but this is the thinking of a politician. Therefore, Li Shimin is an out-and-out politician, even if his military level is high.

Now that the Turks are willing to make peace, Li Shimin, who thinks as a politician, is of course willing to pay some price that his own people can accept. History has also proved that although Li Shimin created the rule of Zhenguan, his backbone as an emperor was far inferior to that of any emperor in the Ming Dynasty. No emperor of the Ming Dynasty would rather die than betray the interests of the country in exchange for peace. However, Li Shimin, the ruler of the prosperous era, actually betrayed the interests of the country and the nation in exchange for peace, which has to be said to be a stain on Li Shimin's life. If there is no such stain, then I am afraid that Li Shimin will really become a Ming Jun who will not be surpassed by future generations.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I hope that Your Majesty can think about it, if you really do it this time, how will the Danshu Qingshi record this matter? What will future generations say about our Datang? Li Junxian said.

"This ......" Li Shimin was speechless, obviously worried about what future generations would say.

"Your Majesty, this is a bad word! Although it is now necessary to sue for peace with the barbarians for the sake of the people's livelihood, this will not affect His Majesty's prestige. Back then, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, didn't they also have a relationship? But isn't the rule of Wenjing also passed down through the ages? The same was true of Emperor Wen of the former Sui back then, and sending the princess to make peace did not affect the rule of the former Sui at all, so the temporary peace was nothing. Du Ruhui said.

Li Junxian's eyes appeared with anger again, and he secretly thought: "Damn, no wonder in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, foreign invasions, those Han annihilation and sued for peace with foreigners without a trace of psychological pressure, so there were not too many people attached to the Tang Dynasty when they died." No wonder the Song Dynasty spent money to buy peace in the Liao State with such peace of mind, it turned out that you fucking people who were seriously strong and lacked the idea of national dignity were bad at the source. And the Ming Dynasty shouted out that there was no harmony, no compensation, no land cution, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died. The Ming Dynasty said so and did so, and as a result, the Ming Dynasty died for more than 200 years, and there are still people who are nostalgic. What the Tang Dynasty lacks is the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty has brought honor and national prestige to the people, but it has not brought backbone to the people, because the backbone has been lost since the founding of the country. Am I going to have to go through it again? ”
