Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 248

Fang Xuanling was silent for a while, and said softly: "But Your Majesty, the old minister secretly thinks that what my bad boy said makes sense: once you lose something like integrity, it may be very difficult to get it back..."

You can't just think about your own holy name for thousands of years, but destroy Datang's integrity!
Fang Xuanling is different from His Majesty Li Er, what he values ​​is the country, not a person's reputation!
"You keep integrity in your heart, how can anyone lose it? If it's so easy to lose it, what's the use?" His Majesty Li Er was very displeased.

Fang Xuanling sighed deeply: "I'm afraid that if your majesty's marriage is the first of its kind, the future generations will take it as a lesson when they encounter difficulties and clamor to follow the ancestral system, but in fact they love leisure, hate work, covet life and fear death. Marriage, but not going to fight bravely, then my brilliant Tang Dynasty, will not collapse at the hands of such disdainful descendants?"

If Fang Jun comes here again, he will definitely give his father a thumbs up, he has a vision that penetrates history!

It was Li Sanlang, known as the "Emperor of Tang Ming", who indulged in pleasure and did not think about making progress, and buried a beautiful country and mountains in the hands of the Tartars, causing his death and country destruction, and the rivers and mountains were broken. "Being regarded as a standard, one princess after another married off, squandering the Tang Dynasty's style...

But even in that case, has peace really been exchanged?

His Majesty Li Er still insisted: "This is a strategy to slow down the army. The dignified princess is married, and her status is noble. When she is dowry, she is a craftsman in agriculture and medicine. How dare Hulu not respect him like a god? With the princess in the meantime, at least he can There will be 30 years of peace. And our Great Tang can take advantage of this period to fight the Hulu!"

Fang Xuanling remembered his son's rebellious words: Shame and kiss, send to the princess, kill after playing, invade as usual!
Really hit the nail on the head!

However, His Majesty Li Er, who has always been wise, was tired of the eternal holy name and lost his mind. He couldn't see the pros and cons of it, and he was still naively fantasizing about the Hulu.

Fang Xuanling suddenly raised his head, stared at His Majesty Li Er with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's words are wrong! Although Li Tang has Hu people's blood, he has already inherited the Great Treasure, and he is the orthodox Central Plains! If Your Majesty bestows on Hu What is the difference between captive barbarians who are masters of agriculture and medicine, and raising tigers?"

His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a while, and suddenly woke up!

The royal family of the Li family has the blood of the Xianbei Hu people. In his eyes, those Hulu barbarians are not much different from the Han family!For him, marrying the princess to Hulu is actually the same as marrying into his Fang family...

But the problem is, now he is the emperor of Li Tang, the emperor of this empire, and the emperor of the entire Chinese state!

How can we look at the problem with this kind of eyes?

He himself regards the world as one family, but those so-called orthodox Central Plains aristocratic families and Confucian disciples regard the barbarians as enemies from the bottom of their hearts!Is it not

If you have already dominated the Central Plains China, you will naturally draw a clear line with the peoples outside the Great Wall, and you will be enemies in the world!
Don't look at those ministers who support his kinship policy on the surface, it's because it can temporarily stay away from the war and won't hurt their economic interests; When it comes to the reputation of the ministers, they will all be pushed on Li Er's head!
In this way, they have gained all the benefits, and they have to discredit Li Er in the public opinion. How will the history books be written last time?
They are also the ones who write the history books!

It is estimated that he has done too many immoral things. His Majesty Li Er felt guilty. He was afraid that someone would say bad things about him. He would rather do such shameless things as tampering with history books, but also maintain his perfect image!

Fang Xuanling could see His Majesty Li Er's entanglement at a glance, and he sighed in his heart, so as long as the issue of reputation was involved, His Majesty Li Er, who is wise and mighty, would lose his mind every minute...

He said sincerely: "The spring rain is like ointment, which breeds all things. Farmers like it moist, and pedestrians hate it muddy; Human?"

The spring rain is as precious as oil. Farmers like it to nourish the crops, but those who walk hate it for making mud on the road; the moon in autumn is like a mirror. Beautiful women like it for its bright light, but thieves but resented its splendor.In the whole world, it is impossible to have the best of both worlds, let alone people?
If you gain something, you must lose something. This is the most logical thing in heaven and earth!

His Majesty Li Er was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "People's words are scary, what can we do?"

I understand what you're saying, but those ministers are talking nonsense, and I'm really scared. Could it be that they are all arrested and chopped off to prevent them from talking?

After all, he was afraid that after refusing to make a marriage, he would start another quarrel, and those ministers would put all the pots of shit on his head, spit all over his head, and flog him wantonly!

But if you don’t get married, you must maintain enough military suppression against Tuyuhun and Tubo. In this way, the plan to conquer Goguryeo is far away, and your dream of being one emperor through the ages... is also far away!
Fang Xuanling naturally knew what His Majesty Li Er was thinking, and said: "Your Majesty is at the peak of his spring and autumn, and he is trying his best to govern. Our Great Tang army is so prosperous that we look down on the world. How can it be compared with the previous Sui Dynasty? We only need to stabilize the internal affairs, and three or five harvests will be achieved." Years, you can gather food and fodder, and what the army said at that time, what is the point of a mere Goguryeo?"

His Majesty Li Er was silent again.

Staring at the scroll on the table, the handsome and round fonts, the domineering words, like a fire burning in the heart of His Majesty Li Er.

No marriage, no tribute, no cede land, no compensation... If this is really achieved, what kind of glorious country will the Tang Dynasty be?If this is really the case, then what if I, Li Shimin, "the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country"?
Building up the majestic and proud Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that my achievements are comparable to those of Goguryeo.
However, that is Goguryeo, a Goguryeo that countless generations of emperors have never really conquered...

His Majesty Li Er fell into a deep entanglement, looking at Fang Xuanling who was struggling to remonstrate in front of him, His Majesty Li Er felt a little regretful in his heart.

It is true that Fang Xuanling is resourceful, loyal and capable. What he says and thinks is reasonable, but it makes His Majesty Li Er more confused and entangled.

If... Keming is still there, maybe he doesn't need to use so many reasons, he just needs to get one sentence, and he will be happy to follow it.

After all, Fang Xuanling is good at planning, but not good at making decisions!

Should I listen to his opinion?

************
Regarding the matter of marriage, the DPRK and China are raging and arguing.

Those who are in favor think that this is a very strategic policy, which can buy more time for the Tang Dynasty, and the army can be wiped out in one fell swoop to wipe out the Hulu in the Western Regions.

The opposing party believes that exchanging women for peace is not real peace. Not only will it lose the arrogance of the warriors of the Tang Dynasty, it will shame the entire country, and it will also encourage the arrogance of the Hulu barbarians: Sending troops to bluff can make people Datang sent a daughter and a dowry, so why not do such a good thing?When the time comes, all the barbarians in the Western Regions will follow suit, what should you do?I want a daughter-in-law marriage with you, will you give it to me?If you give it, it will be endless; if you don’t give it, the loss before is useless, and you still have to fight...

Anyway, if the public says that the public is right, and the wife says that the old woman is reasonable, no one will be convinced, and no one will be convinced.

However, no matter His Majesty Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Li Ji and other important ministers, they kept silent and kept silent, never expressing their attitude.

This made the ruling and opposition parties even more suspicious of His Majesty's attitude.

During this period, Fang Jun became famous, but this reputation was spread among the female family members of the Li Tang royal family...

The sad and mournful "Huang Huge", those domineering lines of the country's integrity, and His Majesty Li Er's anti-marriage attitude made his reputation among the noble ladies of Li and Tang's royal family reach an unprecedented height. .

This is the real man!What kind of skill is it to push a woman out whenever something happens?
In addition, the royal family with female dependents of the right age at home, all of them have a great affection for Fang Jun.

In fact, everyone understands that even if His Majesty Li Er initiates the marriage, he will not marry the princess, there is no suitable one...

Several adult princesses have already promised marriage, and the remaining few are either young or still babbling, how to marry?
Even so, looking for a woman of the right age in the royal family and bestowing the title of princess... Everyone understands this.

For example, Jiangxia King Li Daozong...
