847, the prince dog bites the dog (medium)
"Father, the son thinks that the eldest brother said that the cannon costs a lot, which is simply nonsense. And even if these cannons are melted and used to mint money, all this money is invested in the army, and it is impossible to have such a powerful lethality as artillery. Therefore, Erchen thought that the eldest brother did not know much about military affairs, and he was not very proficient in finance, and he was not even familiar with the ratio of cost and effect. But it's understandable, the eldest brother is dedicated to learning the way of the sage, and it is inevitable that he is not familiar with this kind of murderous Yingye, and he is not familiar with this kind of thing! This kind of murder, as well as dealing with finances, is simply too vulgar and not suitable for my Tang prince to study. Li Ke said.
When Jingwen heard this, he really wanted to laugh. This Li Ke actually criticized the prince for not knowing the military and not using finance seriously. This is simply criticizing Li Chengqian for being incompetent and unable to do anything. Not knowing the military, this is understandable for a prince or even an emperor. But it doesn't know how to finance, which is very fatal for a would-be emperor. An emperor who doesn't know how to finance is enough to bring down the country. Because those emperors who don't know how to finance are likely to take the money in the treasury as their own, so he spends it casually. For such an emperor, who can believe that he can govern the country well? And now that Datang is under the fiddling of Jingwen, a traverser, the finances are tight, and this time is very important for an official and emperor who is good at financial management. Li Ke actually criticized Li Chengqian's poor financial management ability, which is probably also combined with the reality of the current Tang Dynasty.
"Father, son, minister......" Li Chengqian wanted to say something.
"Cheng Qian, don't say it. This cannon doesn't cost much, you can get it! Li Shimin said.
Li Chengqian was speechless, this time even Li Shimin set the tone, that is, this cannon does not cost much, then I am afraid that even if it is much, it will have to be "not much". Then Li Chengqian can only explain it through the next method. That is, this cannon has hurt the heavens and the peace.
"Also, this cannon kills the enemy too much, and it hurts the heavens and the peace! And every time the cannon fires, it kills and injures dozens of people, and dozens of cannons bombard together, then I'm afraid the number of kills is also greater, so I'm afraid that my Datang will kill too much, will it hurt Tianhe, and will be punished by God! is so murderous, I'm afraid it wasn't Renjun's doing. Li Chengqian said very righteously.
And these words. actually got the approval of many "rotten Confucians". They also all think that this cannon has killed too many people, so that in the future, Datang's enemies will probably also have too many deaths, which is not good for Datang. As for what kills too much, many people also scoff at it. Even the generals who were robbed of their jobs by this cannon would not approve of this one who killed too many enemies and hurt the peace. If you kill too many enemies and hurt the peace of the heavens, then I'm afraid these generals will all go to hell, and they don't have to live. But they all ate and drank well. How can you explain the prosperity and wealth? Therefore, it has nothing to do with killing people and hurting heaven.
"Father, the eldest brother of the crown prince is simply ridiculous. If we don't kill the enemy. So let the enemy come and kill our army, kill our people? If we spare our enemies for the sake of a moment of mercy and do not kill them, what if they come and kill our people? If our people are killed. That is what we have killed by our mercy. On the battlefield, mercy to the enemy, isn't this ridiculous? If for the sake of a momentary kindness. Then let the enemy kill our brothers and sisters, so how can this not be cruel to ourselves? Therefore, for our safety, the best thing to do is to kill the enemy, rather than keep the enemy to show his mercy! Li Ke said.
However, at this time, an old guy came out.
"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that if they could forgive the enemy with a benevolent heart, then they would be deeply moved, and therefore they would definitely be completely convinced of my Datang. Therefore, it is better for the emperor to do less killing! Kong Yingda said.
And everyone watched this scene, speechless in their hearts. The two princes eat the dog, what are you doing when you join in? If it weren't for the fact that I knew that Kong Yingda would definitely not help anyone, I am afraid that Kong Yingda would have to think that Kong Yingda supported the prince. However, Kong Yingda may also support the crown prince with a certain amount of time, because Confucianism pays attention to the primogeniture inheritance system. After all, Li Chengqian is the eldest son, and although Kong Yingda claims to be neutral, he will also favor Li Chengqian for the sake of his so-called Confucian Taoist inheritance. No one knows whether Kong Yingda came out at this time, intentionally or unintentionally?
Jingwen listened to Kong Yingda's words and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Kong Yingda said is reasonable. Lord Kong Yingda is very reasonable, I think that I can let Lord Kong Yingda go to Tianzhu in the south, let the people of Tianzhu learn Confucianism, and then take the initiative to merge into my Central Plains civilization, isn't it very good? ”
"Hahahaha......" Some generals actually laughed unscrupulously.
And when Kong Yingda heard this, he was also so angry that he brushed his sleeves away. Because this is simply ridiculous, let Kong Yingda persuade Tianzhu to merge, this is simply ridiculous. Tianzhu is also a big country in this period, how can it be merged into the Tang Dynasty? This is too ridiculous, and Jingwen just wants to use this absurd statement to prove how ridiculous Kong Yingda's approach is. It is ridiculous to want to make your enemies feel ashamed and feel merciful. And Kong Yingda was also angry, obviously not wanting to talk to Jingwen here, because Jingwen can use many methods to prove that the enemy will not feel mercy and kindness.
"Well, kindness to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself. As for what hurts heaven and peace, and what benevolence and righteousness are, they are all for their own people. If I hurt my own people for the sake of the enemy, I can't do it. Li Shimin finally set the tone.
"The emperor is wise!" Everyone said.
As for Li Chengqian, one of the reasons he put forward was actually refuted again, which made him very depressed. originally wanted to use this hurtful reason to prove his benevolence and righteousness, but Li Shimin not only did not support it, but gave himself a slap in the face. The original benevolence and righteousness not only no longer existed, but instead turned into cruelty to the people of his own country, which made Li Chengqian speechless. However, Li Chengqian immediately thought of another reason, that is, an absolutely fatal reason. Li Chengqian believes that once this reason comes out, it will definitely be guaranteed.
