Chapter 1331: Fight
Historically, the emperor decided to go out on the expedition, there will always be a voice of admonition above the court, which can not be said that the opponents are conservative and timid, the era of the imperial system, the king holds the power of decision-making, if he leaves the capital, it will inevitably cause fluctuations in the situation, and because the king of a country personally goes to the battlefield, it can never be lost, and the elite armed forces will be dispatched to the distance, and there is little honor guard, and the fanfare is mighty.
The more people and horses are mobilized, the greater the financial waste - for example, the last emperor of the previous dynasty, because of his obsession with attacking Goguryeo, had three personal expeditions, almost exhausted the national wealth, and had to carry out a tyrannical government, which led to domestic complaints, in order to avoid military service and died on the journey, men fled one after another, causing riots, as a result, not only did not destroy Goguryeo, but he ended up with death and national destruction.
Therefore, He Ye announced his pro-conquest at the court meeting, which immediately attracted many courtiers to learn from history and try their best to dissuade him.
After the Ming Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty was dominated by Wenzhi, slackening military equipment, although it was said that to the Dezong Dynasty, the disadvantages have been exposed, and the Muzong Dynasty was even more troubled in destroying the country, but the courtiers who have been accustomed to comfort often turn a blind eye to all kinds of drawbacks, they think that since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he has reconciled with the Northern Liao and Tubo, and the two battles of Tongguan and Shengzhou have dealt a heavy blow to the Turks, which is enough to subdue the barbarians, and there is no need to mobilize the army to continue this war.
Such a view is not completely unreasonable to support, the so-called weapons of soldiers, saints have to use them, and those who have been soldiers for a long time and benefit the country have not existed. Even the Art of War advocates caution in the use of troops, believing that war is harmful to the country and the people, and that it should be avoided if it can be avoided.
It was not that He Ye couldn't listen to the advice of these ministers, but he insisted on it.
"If peace can be reconciled, I also agree that we should stop fighting and restore peace to the prosperity of the world, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the people will not suffer from the war and parting, so I do not intend to use troops against Northern Liao and even Tibet, but how can the Turks ever submit to our country?"
"The Holy Lord has never sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the Turks, how do you know that war cannot be avoided?" Someone insisted.
"After the battle of Tongguan, Ashina Qisang was forced to withdraw from Yangguan, but under the heavy blow, he immediately transferred troops to Shengzhou, which shows that he still does not want to die to dominate the Central Plains! The battle of Shengzhou, it was the desperate and bloody battle of the Yan State Ministry to recover the land and thwart the Ashina plot, if the Turks have a heart of submission, they should take the initiative to send envoys to sue for peace, and return to Yangguan, which originally belonged to the territory of our country, but they took the initiative to seek peace? Not to mention that during the Muzong dynasty, the Turks took the initiative to show goodwill, what did the result lead to? led to the restoration of the Turks, led to the occupation of Shengzhou, led to the barbarians outside of Ganzhou, led to the fall of Gyeonggi, and led to the fall of Chang'an, the capital of our country, to the enemy! Haven't the ministers woken up to the disaster of raising tigers? ! The people of Chang'an, who were slaughtered countless souls, in order to restore the capital, how many soldiers on the bank of Weishui are not cold, and they are determined to resist the barbarian enemy, and the loyal souls of the soldiers of the Yan State have not returned to their homeland, and the secretaries of the government have advised me to take the initiative to sue for peace with the Turks? ! Haven't you ever heard the wandering souls crying at night, haven't you witnessed those people who died under the butcher's knife because of the loss of Chang'an, and their wives and daughters were raped/humiliated, and they still dare not remember the past, and blood and tears can only be sprinkled on the desolate graves?! β
"Peace? Very good, who of you is confident to serve as the envoy of the state, go out of Yangguan with the festival, force the Turks with an edict, let Ashina Qisang be bound, escort him back to Chang'an, and behead the city, who dares to say that if you don't move soldiers, you can make Yangguan return to the country again? ! β
No one dared to make a promise, because there would be no monarch of any country, the head of a tribe, willing to give his life in exchange for the end of the war.
But He Ye doesn't need Ashina Qisang's vassal, because his vassals can obviously only be lying on his salary and tasting his guts, He Ye is not Wu Wangfucha, he knows very well that the Great Zhou and the Turks can only be an endless blood feud, and the benevolence of complacent and self-proclaimed victors will lead to appeasement and adultery, and be eaten by the enemy.
This is not the life and death of two people, this is related to the survival and death of the nation, if the ambition of the Turks cannot be destroyed, then the Chinese people will face being enslaved by foreign people, and from then on they will be driven by people like cattle and horses.
He was born with the surname He, and now he is the father of hundreds of millions of people, so he must not allow that in his lifetime, he will see the splendid country of China and die by the sword of a foreign race.
"Although the state is victorious, but the country loses its general, and although it is said that the mourning soldiers will win, how can the battle of rise and fall be full of emotion? I am the king of a country, and I can truly inspire the military and people of the whole country, the feelings of hatred and hatred of the enemy, the will to fight bravely, and the decision to conquer in person is to think twice, not a momentary will, and the courage of a husband. β
As soon as these words came out, they were all dumbfounded.
The meaning of the Son of Heaven is clear, and whoever reconstructs the pro-conquest is questioning the Son of Heaven's inability to do his best, and he is reckless.
But the fact is that He Ye is not a pampered emperor who does not know sorrow, his throne was won through a sword and gun fight, but the final coup d'Γ©tat did not cause riots and rivers of blood, this emperor knows how to retract and release freely, he is willing to govern with the courtiers, it has been regarded as following the avenue, if he is stubborn, no one can stop it.
Not to mention that people such as Xie Raoping and Wei Yuanping are not sincere in preventing the imperial conquest - if the stumbling block of the Son of Heaven leaves Beijing, the authority will inevitably be handed over, and they firmly believe that the Empress Dowager Wei is "experienced in a hundred battles" and will not lose to Empress Liu, who is like a fledgling and has lost the emperor as a backer, and the departure of the Son of Heaven from Beijing is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the Empress Dowager to make a comeback and turn things around!
Wei Yuanping was even impatient, and he was about to say that he was about to take charge of the country by the queen mother, so as to maintain stability and the best of both worlds.
But then I heard He Ye announce - the crown prince is in charge of the country, and the queen is in charge of the government.
The hall is even more like a frying pot now, Wei Yuanping shouted: "Since the Holy Lord has decided to personally recruit, the ministers should praise and obey, but for the sake of stability, how can the Holy Lord hand over the power to the harem maids?" Although the queen is the master of the middle palace and the biological mother of the prince, how can she be able to take on the military affairs? The minister asked for advice, and hoped that the saint would give priority to the society and let the queen mother assist the prince in supervising the country. β
Lin Xi, the middle prince of the imperial history, originally remained silent after agreeing with the pro-conquest, and when he heard Wei Yuanping's words, he immediately retorted: "Isn't the queen mother a woman, and how can she assist the prison country?" β
Wei Yuanping glared at a pair of King Kong angry eyes: "Isn't the Queen Mother very human?" Don't say that the two dynasties of Renzong and Muzong all rely on the queen mother to govern the dynasty, let's say that the first monarch of Dezong has also praised the queen mother for her ability to Yao Shun, and the women are not weak and eyebrows, not only often negotiate government affairs with the queen mother, but even have the right to approve official documents, and also entrust! β
Lin Xi said sadly: "What is the result? As a result, the Empress Dowager appointed traitors, alienated the virtuous, caused the Turks to force the capture of Gyeonggi, captured Chang'an, and almost lost half of the country, causing the people to live in poverty, and the country was in danger. β
"You!" Wei Yuanping was furious and clapped his knees: "Lin Xi, you dare to slander the Holy Mother and question the ancestors?!" β
"The minister is just playing according to the truth." Lin Xi was originally a deputy upright heart, even if he went through a lot of hardships, he did not bend his waist because of the ordeal, and said angrily: "The minister is the official of the imperial history, and it is the duty of the minister to play according to the truth, Wei Xiangguo is guilty of vain, and the minister is unwilling to accept it!" β
"Holy Lord, Lin Xi disrespects the Queen Mother, and hopes that the Holy Lord will put filial piety first and execute this great rebel sinner!" Wei Yuanping was filled with righteous indignation, holding the crown in his hand and kneeling down, quite unsuccessful, wanting to splash blood on the posture of the palace.
Although Xie Raoping despised Wei Yuanping for being reckless, he could not ignore the damage to the reputation of the Queen Mother, and said at this time: "Although Lin Zhongcheng played on the basis of the truth, he did commit the crime of slandering the Queen Mother......"
He Ye didn't wait for Xie Raoping to finish his words: "Xie Xiangguo, slander, you are using the word untruthfully." β
This is another sentence that shocked the court!
"Emperor Renzong once bequeathed the Empress Dowager to assist the government, I don't deny it, but don't talk about the harem in the dynasty, even the Ninety-Five...... I Emperor Taizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, also issued an edict to sin himself, calmly did not receive the lessons of the late Emperor Guang, and then committed the mistake of being warlike with labor, lamenting that no one is perfect, and the sages are not exempt, so I warned my descendants that they should listen to more loyal and good advice, and do not commit the mistake of being stubborn, during the reign of the Queen Mother, there were many mistakes, and the Queen Mother also had a heart of regret, so she admitted that she was willing to fulfill the will of the people, and Xu Zhen succeeded to the throne to correct her mistakes and return the world to the prosperous world. β
Xie Raoping was speechless, He Ye looked at Wei Yuanping again: "Wei Xiang's so-called filial piety, I might as well refute it, I am the surname He, not the surname Wei, although I was lost in my childhood, I was not taught by my father, but my brother, on behalf of my father, the hope is that I can inherit the wishes of the ancestors, extend the country for a long time, and strive to protect the community, this party is filial piety, so Wei Xiang, in the future, when it comes to filial piety, you must introspect, you can really know what is great filial piety, what is loyalty and filial piety!" The word loyalty and filial piety is not the sword in your hands to kill the enemy, but the ruler of self-reflection! β
Seeing Wei Yuanping sweating profusely, He Ye still did not give up: "The Queen Mother appointed traitors, such as Yuan Dezhi, Yao Qian, etc., many of them have been convicted, and I also know that before the big tree falls, it is inevitable that there will be a lucky monkey, Xie and Yuan, because there is no evidence, I can't treat him as a traitor with empty mouths and white teeth, but it can be said that Skynet is magnificent and negligent, and it is a crime, it is inevitable that there will be clues, I might as well warn the ministers that the prosperity of governing the world in the future may not be the clearest water, but it will never allow snakes and scorpions to be venomous." β
At this time, even Xie Raoping's face suddenly turned pale.
He was sure that the person who the Son of Heaven would never die should not only be Ashina Qisang!
He was confident that his reputation would not be in the name of a traitor, and from many signs, he believed that the Son of Heaven really valued the Lu family, so he was confident that the age difference between Jiacheng and the queen was nearly ten years, and Jiacheng would definitely be able to get the day when the Son of Heaven would dislike the queen and empathize with love.
As for Jiacheng, why does it matter that he will not grow old in the end?
At that time, there will always be beautiful women in the family to recommend to the harem.
As long as it is copied properly, the emperor's favor will not be thin.
But the key at the moment is that although he can't tolerate Empress Dowager Wei taking power again, he will never be willing to let Empress Liu sit back and enjoy her success.
The authority is really controlled by the Liu family, and perhaps if it doesn't wait for the Son of Heaven's class, Lu and Feng will already encounter a catastrophe.
In any case, he has to admonish the holy will of the queen's auxiliary government, and he can't watch it fall into this defeat in this life.
