People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 192 It's Not Like That

"What you said seems to make sense." Li Tai thought for a while, but then he said again: "But if there is a war, the court has no money."

"Oh, I don't have money either." Li Zheng shook the fan in his hand.

"..."

"Fatty, you don't have to look at me like that. Even if you kill me with your eyes, I have no money."

Li Tai said with a dejected face, "Li Zheng, if Tubo calls, the nest will be overwhelmed..."

In the past few years, Songtsan Gampo would not have thought about fighting over. This guy's own Tubo is still not sure about coming to fight Datang?

People's livelihood in Tubo is now a problem. If I remember correctly, many people in Tubo will freeze to death this winter.

Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian were sitting together eating noodles, and these two little guys are now entertaining by themselves.

Fortunately, these two boys don't eat much, at least they are much smaller than Li Tai.

Di Renjie raised his head and asked, "Teacher, will Tubo call?"

"Not in a year or two." Li Zheng waved his hand and said.

"Why not?"

Li Zheng said patiently: "Songtsan Gampo has been fighting with Tuyuhun for more than half a year now. They have a vast land and few people. How could he have such a large population to fight with?"

"Then what he said in his credentials was very alarmist."

"He Tubo Songtsan Gampo just pretended to threaten us. If he really fights, he has to weigh himself carefully."

"Will you let Lu Dongzan go?"

"Of course not." Li Zheng continued: "If you want to let go, you can let Songtsan Gampo use money to redeem people. Didn't he want Lu Dongzan? If you don't have money, you can divide the land and put the entire Qinghai land to the south. Give it all to Datang."

"Qinghai, why Qinghai?"

"Qinghai is the largest water source in Tubo, and it is rich in minerals. With Qinghai, Datang has seized Tubo's throat."

The location of Qinghai in history is equally important. Since Huo Qubing conquered the Huns in the Western Han Dynasty and conquered Qinghai, there has been a strategy there, and it has always been a battleground for military strategists.

To say that the throat of the Central Plains is the Hexi Corridor.

The throat of Tubo is Qinghai.

From the Western Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, to the Northern Liang Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the competition between the Central Plains and Tubo in Qinghai never stopped.

Tuyuhun also relied on Qinghai to build the country, but time passed, they gradually broke away from Qinghai's control, and now they are also taken over by Tubo.

Li Zheng said to Li Tai: "People can be released, but not so easily."

Li Tai nodded, "Indeed, Songtsan Gampo would be very proud if he let it go like this."

"But if Tubo is asked to pay money to relocate the land, the officials in the court may not agree, it is not a gentleman's action."

Li Zheng sneered, "Didn't it be done by a gentleman? If Songtsen Gampo can threaten him, we Tang Dynasty can't be ripped off, right?"

"For those speech officials, it is indeed not what a gentleman does. The speech officials will naturally object for the sake of character. They want to be a gentleman, and of course a gentleman will not do this."

character?In the face of the interests of the family and the country, how much is the strength of character worth.

Seeing Li Zheng smiling contemptuously, Li Tai asked, "Is there anything you can do?"

"let me think again."

After Li Tai returned to Chang'an, because of Tubo's letter of credence, the court started a court discussion on Tubo.

As Li Zheng expected, many officials said that Lu Dongzan would be released.

The generals naturally disagreed, and Lu Dongzan had plotted against the law first, and privately recorded the Tang troops stationed along the way. Everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions.

Everyone in Chang'an knew what Songtsen Gampo's intentions were.

Li Shimin listened to the chatter in the court and motioned for everyone to quiet down.

Wang Gonggong stood beside Li Shimin and shouted loudly: "Quiet."

Only then did the Tai Chi Hall quiet down.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian who said nothing, and asked, "Prince, what do you think?"

Li Chengqian hesitated several times and said: "Father, my son thinks that Lu Dongzan can be let go."

Li Shimin looked at Qingque and asked, "Qingque, what do you think?"

Li Tai also said loudly: "I also thought that I could let him go."

Li Shimin's eyes flicked between the two brothers, why didn't the two brothers compete with each other?

Whether or not to let Lu Dongzan go is not a matter of his own words, but he just wants to try the two boys Li Tai and Li Chengqian.

Unexpectedly, the two stood together unexpectedly.

Li Shimin clutched his forehead in distress, and announced that he would retreat from the court for further discussion.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and other court generals were worried.

This Lu Dongzan knows the city defense from Yumenguan to Chang'an, and it will take time.

If you wait for Tubo to come back, it must be another big threat.

Both Li Chengqian and Li Tai said that Lu Dongzan should be released.

The speech immediately turned to the side of letting people go.

Qin Qiong approached Li Chengqian and asked, "Why does His Royal Highness think that Lu Dongzan should be released?"

Facing Qin Qiong's question, Li Chengqian also remained silent, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing Li Chengqian's silence, Qin Qiong let out a long sigh and had no choice but to turn around and walk out of Chengtian Gate.

Li Tai and Li Chengqian are both princes, it is not unreasonable for them to say this, because the officials and generals have different opinions on the release of Lu Dongzan, and the princes say this because Li Chengqian and Li Tai are not stupid.

It is impossible for them to stand on the side of the general.

The generals involve military power, and the princes dare not touch them.

Lu Dongzan can't let go!

All the generals thought so, and Cheng Yaojin's expression was not good all the way, "Hou Junji, who is so rebellious, is actually on the side of the speech officer. He really thinks he is superior when he becomes Minister of the Ministry of War, doesn't he?"

Qin Qiong shook her head with a troubled expression.

Looking towards Zhuque Street, Cheng Yaojin asked suspiciously: "Why is Lao Niu walking so fast today?"

Niu Jinda walked out of Chang'an City all the way, and now both the court and the central government are supporting the release of Lu Dongzan.

There is one person who can definitely influence the decision to be His Majesty. Li Zheng is the secretary of the Zhongshu Provincial Committee, and he can participate in the government affairs.

Li Zheng was watering the peppers and sunflowers, while Daniel, Pei Xingjian, and Di Renjie put the potted plants in the sun to sit.

Di Renjie asked curiously: "Teacher, what is growing here?"

"Sunflowers and peppers, we will have hot sauce and melon seeds to eat in the future." Li Zheng said while stroking Di Renjie's little head.

"What are melon seeds and what is hot sauce." Pei Xingjian also asked.

"It's delicious." Li Zheng looked at the soil in the potted plant and said with longing.

After moving these potted plants, the children also went to the academy to listen to Chu Suiliang and Shangguanyi's lectures.

Niu Jinda rode to the stables and asked Duhu, "Where is Li Zhengren?"

Du Hu, who was feeding the horses, knew Niu Jinda, and quickly saluted and said, "General Niu, General Zhonglang is planting something."

Niu Jinda got off his horse, "Take the old man there."

Dahu took Niu Jinda to the back of the hut next to the stables, saw Li Zhengniu Jinda and said, "Boy, you know me."

Hearing this, Li Zheng stopped and saluted slightly, "I have seen General Niu Jinda, and I have seen General Niu Jinda at the hunting ground a few days ago. The land of Niujia Village has not thanked General yet."

Niu Jinda saw a large potted plant lying on the ground and said, "I'm so busy waiting in court, but you, Li Zheng, have a leisurely life."
