Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 853 Dispute!out!
At this time, the court of the Tang Dynasty was divided over the territorial dispute between the Xue Yantuo tribe and the Turkic tribe, and the ministers and families who benefited from the Turkic tribe continued to play books, hoping that the emperor would approve the Xue Yantuo tribe's territory occupied by the Turkic tribe. Its name is that this is the best way to curb the growth of Xue Yantuo's tribe.

However, people with insight in the imperial court strongly opposed this proposal, thinking that once the Turkic tribe won the imperial court's support and seized the territory of Xue Yantuo's tribe, it would arouse the resentment of the various ethnic groups in the grassland against the imperial court. There will be a melee battle along the Gobi north and south, and the chaotic situation may even involve the Khitan people and the situation in the northeast under the rule of King Qi. If Xu's army is strongly counterattacked, I am afraid that the army under the Turkic Khan Ali Nasimo is not a combination of Xu's army. At that time, it will completely change the situation that the Turkic tribe settled in Monan as a buffer between the Xue Yantuo tribe and the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin had read the memorials of two different opinions, and it was difficult to make a decision after weighing the pros and cons, so he called the court's most important ministers above the third rank to discuss in the Taiji Hall. At that time, Ashina Simo had arrived in the capital, and he was able to go to the hall to participate in the court discussion.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was dressed in a dragon robe and sat upright on the golden throne, and Prince Li Zhi sat with his head sideways under the golden throne.

The ministers of the third rank and above of the imperial court stood on the left and right of civil and military officials, but Ashina Simo stood side by side with Fang Xuanling at the head of the civil servants. After this man arrived in Chang'an City, he had already met Li Shimin in the palace, and secretly sent a large number of The treasures were given to the emperor's favorite concubines respectively.

Qin Wenyuan leaned against an inconspicuous corner of the hall, glanced coldly at the ministers, and heard Li Shimin's words after a while.

"My dear families; the dispute between Xue Yantuo's tribe and the Turks has been settled, but there are still hidden dangers in the issue of border ownership. You can express your opinions in the hall and put forward suggestions for resolving the dispute between the two tribes once and for all."

After the emperor's words fell, Sun Heng'an, the general of Zuojianmen and the prince of Qingdu County, came out and bowed his hands.

"Report to the emperor; I believe that the Xue Yantuo tribe and the Turkic tribe should maintain the status quo, and the court can decree to define the area where the Turkic tribe is now settled, so that the court will have a wider buffer against the ethnic minority forces from the south and north of the desert. place."

After this guy finished speaking, the powers of the Wei family, Wang family, and Xiao family in the imperial court came out to support the proposal one after another. Ashina Simo was very unhappy to see this situation in the hall, and came out to report with a satisfied look on his face.

"Your Majesty, little Wang Ashina Simo has a book to play."

Hearing that this guy has a report, Li Shimin didn't know what he was playing, because many concubines in the harem interceded for this guy, so he spoke.

"Sure! Tell me what you are playing for?"

"Report to the emperor; the King of Qi ordered the Turkic tribe to settle in the southern land and return it to Xue Yantuo's subordinate land. The little king thought it was inappropriate. He thought that the Xueyantuo tribe was originally a Turkic tribe, and he was allowed by the emperor to be a khanate and build a tooth tent. In the Yudu Army Mountain in the desert, and in the north of the Mobei, the large tribes such as Tongluo, Mohe, Pugu, Huihe, and Yu were forced to surrender. This has already formed a threat to all tribes in the grassland. If the imperial court allows it to develop, Xue Yantuo on the grassland In view of the situation, Xiaowang begged the emperor to allow the Turkic tribe to maintain their current residence, and issued an imperial decree to warn the Xue Yantuo tribe not to invade the Turkic tribe in the south.”

Hearing what this guy said, Li Shimin combined the previous reports of many ministers in the palace, and he already understood that Ashina Simo wanted to occupy Xue Yantuo's land in the south of the Gobi, so as to expel Xue Yantuo from the land bordering Mobei and Monan. The purpose of the Turkic Ministry greatly increased the sphere of influence of the Turkic Ministry.

Today, the report in the palace is to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to make Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan Yinan feel scruples and not dare to act rashly, and at the same time he can respond to Xu Tian's warning.

It's a good way to kill two birds with one stone, but it's a pity that this guy forgot a saying.

"You look beautiful but you can't think too beautiful!"

Li Shimin was on the dragon couch, and heard about Ashina Simo's words and Qin Wenyuan's military order to return the Turkic tribe to the land of Monan where they lived before the war and unconditionally return the occupied land of Xue Yantuo's tribe. He scanned the hall and found Qin Wenyuan. Seeing the sarcasm on his face, he was about to make him come out and explain why such a military order was issued to the Turkic Ministry.

Unexpectedly, Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out to report, but it made Li Shimin temporarily let go of the idea of ​​calling Qin Wenyuan to come out and explain.

But seeing Li Jing coming out, he bowed his hands and said politely.

"Your Majesty, in today's court meeting, I do not agree with the proposals of your lords and the Khan. For the minority forces, I believe that the court should treat them equally, and it is absolutely impossible to adopt a strategy of favoring each other. So this time, the emperor approved the situation of the Turkic tribe as a fait accompli In order to attract all the ethnic minority forces to follow the example of the Turkic Ministry, and to use the same means to obtain the approval of the court, wouldn't it cause the ambitions of all the grassland tribes to expand their territory? This time King Qi led the army to quell the chaos, although the Xue Yantuo tribe temporarily succumbed However, if the military order issued by the King of Qi is not implemented, it will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction among Xue Yantuo's tribe. The Ministry should live in Monan according to the military order of the King of Qi, so that the two tribes will not invade each other. The imperial court ordered the two tribes to abide by this agreement. , Your Majesty, please think twice."

Although Li Jing made a long speech in this performance, it expressed the worries in his heart, which attracted the nods of Fang Xuanling, Xu Shiji, Li Xiaogong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Wei Zheng and other ministers of civil and military affairs.

This is a proposal that is responsible and for the sake of the empire. Compared with the proposals made by those ministers who think about the country and the country, but have their own scheming and have nothing to do with themselves, they are really loyal words.

Doctor Youguang and Duke Xiao of the State of Song waited for Li Jing's words to finish, and they couldn't wait to come out.

"My lord Li's words are wrong! Your lord said that the imperial court should treat the minority forces equally, and should not favor one or the other. The old man agrees with this statement. However, the Turkic Ashina Simo tribe is not included. I think Ashina Simo has long been recognized by the emperor. Given the surname Li, many of his people were officials in the court, and his tribe settled in the south of the Yellow River according to the emperor's will, and they were regarded as common people in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, how can the Ashina Simo tribe be regarded as a minority force? Now that the Ministry represents the will of the Tang Dynasty to guard the border for the country, it cannot simply be regarded as a minority, but should be regarded as the national army of the Tang Dynasty stationed on the frontier."

This guy is worthy of being a civil servant who is eloquent and sophistry, insisting on calling the white one black and the square one round.

When Qin Wenyuan heard this, he couldn't help cursing inwardly.

"What the hell! Once a person doesn't make a fool of himself, even his ancestors can be betrayed."

"Shoot, slap, slap!"

With a sarcastic smile on Qin Wenyuan's face, he clapped his hands and spoke as the leader of the military officials.

"Your Majesty, when I heard about the Qin Dynasty, because Zhao Gao wanted to usurp the throne, and because I didn't know if anyone would object, I came up with a way to test his prestige, and asked people to bring a deer to Qin Ershi and said: Your Majesty, this is the horse that I offered to you, Qin Er. Shi Yan, the prime minister made a mistake, this is a deer, how can it be regarded as a horse? Zhao Gao said without changing his expression, His Majesty saw it clearly, this is indeed a good horse, Qin Ershi looked at the deer a little bit He was doubtful, and asked why the horns grew on the horse's head. Zhao Gao pointed to the ministers and returned to Qin II. If your majesty didn't believe it was a horse, why didn't you ask the ministers, how could the ministers in the palace not know what Zhao Gao meant? Some loyal ministers were also afraid of the power of this fellow and did not dare to speak out, and even those treacherous villains all agreed to Qin Ershi that this was a horse and not a stag. Therefore, there is a saying in the world that a deer is a horse, Master Xiao has learned from the Qin Dynasty Zhao Zhao. Gao's method was to describe the Turkic minority as subjects of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, Xu was not a subject who was afraid of power. They have a correct understanding of minority forces."

How could Li Shimin fail to hear Qin Wenyuan's words implying that he would not be the Second Emperor of Qin and was deceived by a high-ranking traitor, his face was suddenly clouded, and he cursed Xu Tian in his heart.

"This bastard actually compares Lao Tzu to a foolish emperor like Qin II, it really makes me angry!"

However, Xiao Xun was very frightened by Qin Wenyuan's words, and saw Li Shimin's face turned livid with squinted eyes, and quickly knelt down under Jin Luan and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Qi Wang's nonsense. The minister is loyal to the Emperor. His heart is clear and the sun and the moon can learn from each other. What he said is that the Turkic tribe is for the Tang Dynasty. The king of Qi's words are just trying to win for Xue Yantuo's tribe. , but with a cruel heart, he instigated discord between the court and his ministers, and begged the emperor to see clearly."

Li Shimin looked left and right, and his long eyes glanced at the civil and military halls, and saw that the courtiers of the Changsun family, Wei family, Wang family, Xiao family, Zheng family and other families in the court were all glaring at Qin Wenyuan, but the bastard didn't care, and there was a sinister look on the corner of his mouth. people's smirks.

"This little bastard is so terribly bad now, he has learned so slickly, yet he can quote scriptures to attack courtiers who are powerful in the officialdom, and he has defeated many veteran courtiers in a tepid manner. He is really a vicious fox!"

Fang Xuanling, Liu Ji, Li Xiaogong, Gao Shilian, Yan Liben, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Wei Zheng and a group of civil and military officials secretly held out their thumbs and praised Qin Wenyuan for his sharp words. , Only this kid dared to say such words in the palace.

Ashina Simo finally saw how powerful Qin Wenyuan was in the imperial court, and thought to himself that it would be best not to offend these figures, and this guy has already thought of restraining the dispute between the Turkic tribe and the Xue Yantuo tribe and relying on the support of the noble family.

Yang Shidao, who was then Minister of the Ministry of History, got hints from Xue Guogong's eldest Sun Anye's eyes, and said again when he came out.

"Your Majesty, I impeached Qi Wang Qin Wenyuan out of thin air, with bad intentions, and wanted to frame the ministers of the court and make them confuse the dispute between the Xue Yantuo and Turkic tribes. Such bad behavior makes us feel ashamed, and even more so. The minister is chilling, and I ask the emperor to issue an order to reprimand King Qi for his inappropriate remarks and return Master Xiao to innocence."

"What an innocence! Mr. Yang wants to impeach the king, but he can't do without some dry goods. It seems that when you form a clique, what you think about all day long is the little thought of seizing power and power. You are still chilling. Don't want me to give you some benefits to warm your heart. It's really not a thing. When have you ever thought that border troubles are caused by frequent disputes for some reason, and how much you have played in fueling the flames? It is actually a mere benefit. Don’t take the life and death of the people of foreign races seriously, so I’m so tempted to impeach this and that, go back and see if the shit on the ditch has been wiped clean.”

It was a good meal with a gun and a stick, but the words that people could only understand the general meaning made Yang Shidao tremble with anger.

Li Shimin didn't know the many unheard-of swear words from Qin Wenyuan, a bastard, and said angrily.

"Talk to Laozi what is dry goods and what is ditch?"

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all stunned by the emperor's self-proclaimed Lao Tzu, thinking that it was incompatible with the emperor's self-proclaimed etiquette, but the words of the king of Qi were incomprehensible. Word.

"It's not a family, don't enter a family!"

When Qin Wenyuan heard that the emperor asked each other, he laughed and said.

"Hey! This dry thing is holding the ironclad evidence that can kill people in your hands. The boy's accusation is just a matter of fact. How can he frame it? Bad intentions are even more nonsense. As for what is a ditch, the emperor understands, all the ministers I understand, you don’t have to explain it so clearly...haha..."

Nima!I understand, what do I understand, this little bastard...

The emperor couldn't laugh or cry, and all the ministers in the palace didn't know what Qin Wenyuan meant by "understanding".

Seeing that today's court meeting has been muddied by Xu Tian, ​​Li Shimin shouted angrily under his swell.

"The dispute between the Turkic tribe and the Xue Yantuo tribe will be discussed in another day!"

When the eunuch next to the emperor heard the words, he would call out in a duck-like voice.

"Scatter... toward...!"

All the ministers knelt down and bowed to the emperor and the prince got up and retreated, waiting until the emperor was out of sight, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, two reckless men who spoke without thinking, laughed "haha", their voices shook the hall and reverberated.

Yuchi Jingde didn't seem to have fully enjoyed talking about the "gouzi", so he grabbed Qin Wenyuan, such a studious baby, and asked him for advice.

"Young general! What is the meaning of that ditch? Today I can solve the confusion with the old man."

Heitantou didn't dare to call Xu Tian a boy, because this guy once belonged to the Xu family and regarded Qin Wenyuan as the young master, so calling him a young general is already a big face.

Qin Wenyuan had no choice but to laugh and say.

"Come here with your ears, this king will tell you that's it!"

Yuchi Laohei listened to the words, and listened to Qin Wenyuan's words, and he was out of breath from laughing, which caused the ministers who quit the Taiji Hall one after another to wonder why this guy was going crazy.

Although Cheng Yaojin didn't know why Yuchi Laohei laughed so loudly, he still kept howling "Wow".

Waiting for Yuchi Old Hei to tell Ji what the meaning of "Gouzi" is, this old ghost actually said it playfully to Yang Shidao with his ghostly eyes.

"It stinks, it stinks! Mr. Yang should go back and wipe the ditch quickly, so as not to pollute the court, hahaha..."

Yang Shidao was extremely angry, pointing at Cheng Yaojin with trembling fingers and shouting angrily.

"Old man Cheng, Mr. Yang has nothing to do with you!"

There are ministers from Sichuan and Guizhou in the imperial court, so they naturally know the meaning of "Gouzi", and they have already explained this meaning to other ministers at this time, which has caused these ministers to look at Qin Wenyuan as if he had seen a ghost, for fear of making this stupid boy angry. Inflict obscenities on yourself.
