Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1998

Qin Tian is on Nanzhao's side, carrying out the transformation of the chieftain's territory.

From Chang'an City, some news about Nanzhao has already spread.

This morning, an official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Nanzhao that Duke Qin has led troops to put down the rebellion, and Shi Qiang has been killed, but..."

Speaking of this, the official stopped, but Li Shimin was taken aback. It was a good thing that the rebels were wiped out, so why did they add one more.

He was very curious, and quickly asked, "But what?"

"However, after the rebel army was put down, Qin Guogong took action against those chieftains again."

After the official finished speaking, there was an uproar in the entire hall.

"What, Qin Tian is attacking the chieftain again, why is he so deadly? Doesn't he know that those chieftains are not easy to deal with?"

"Really, how could this Qin Tian behave like this? The chieftain can only appease them now. If he takes action against them, he might cause chaos in Nanzhao, right?"

"What is Qin Tian's intentions?"

"Your Majesty, Qin Tian must be severely punished, and he must not be allowed to continue messing around like this."

"That's right, that's right, it's outrageous for Qin Tian to do this. He's trying to make Nanzhao into chaos."

The officials said one sentence to another. In their perception, the chieftains in Nanzhao are local snakes, not easy to mess with. If they want to kill them, they have to use a lot of manpower and material resources.

Today's Datang does not need to spend so much money and manpower for them.

So the best way, of course, is to subdue them first, and then destroy those chieftains in the land of Nanzhao when the strength allows.

Therefore, they do not approve of what Qin Tian is doing now.

Li Shimin was a little surprised when he sat on it. It stands to reason that Qin Tian killed the rebel army, which is considered a great achievement. As long as he comes back, he can be crowned king, so there is no need for him to stay in accordance with the rules, but also to help the court It solved Nanzhao's persistent illness.

Qin Tian is not such a stupid person, but he just did this, so why?

Li Shimin still knew about Qin Tian, ​​so after careful analysis, he felt that there was probably only one reason for this situation, and that was Qin Tian's confidence in being able to solve the persistent illness of the chieftain of Nanzhao.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but cheered up. If Qin Tian could really solve this stubborn illness, it would be a great achievement, even greater than the contribution of exterminating those rebels.

But there may be no results yet, so no news comes.

However, he believed that it would not be long before there would be news.

Therefore, watching these people in the court kept impeaching and angering, Li Shimin was very calm. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, you don't have to quarrel about this, Qin Tian arbitrarily criticized the chieftain in Nanzhao. It is indeed a bit reckless to start, but there is no result yet, after the result comes, we will judge the right and wrong of his actions, and there is no need to talk about it now."

If it fails, then Qin Tian is naturally guilty, but if it succeeds, none of these ministers has the right to make irresponsible remarks to Qin Tian.

After Li Shimin said this, the officials looked at each other, although they still felt that Qin Tian's actions were wrong, but now they could only wait for the news, and wait for the news from Nanzhao.

After retiring from the court, Li Shimin returned to the imperial study.

However, he also called some ministers in the court. These ministers are all figures in the Tang Dynasty, and any one of them can make the Tang Dynasty tremble three times.

Among these people, there are civil servants and generals.

After a group of people came to the imperial study, Li Shimin directly sent someone to give them seats. Obviously, this was just a relatively casual meeting.

"My dear friends, I won't go around in circles with you anymore. I called you here just to talk about the chieftain of Nanzhao. What do you think should be done to destroy the chieftain of Nanzhao? Qin Tian did this to the chieftain. Is there any chance of success?"

Li Shimin asked the question, and everyone looked at each other, but they didn't speak in a hurry. Although it was a very casual conversation, they didn't dare to speak casually.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak much, Li Shimin called the roll call.

"Auxiliary machine, tell me."

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the chieftains of Nanzhao can be said to be a stubborn disease of the land of Nanzhao. Those chieftains have existed in the land of Nanzhao for a long time, and it can be said that they are a bit deep-rooted. It is not easy to destroy them. Even if they can be defeated, they can still quickly form a force and revive again. If you want to talk about the way to destroy them, I feel that the only way is to slowly assimilate them. The Han people on our side migrated there, slowly assimilated them, and then looked for opportunities to exterminate them one by one. This is a very long process, and it may not be possible to accomplish it overnight.”

Changsun Wuji did not make any judgments on Qin Tian's actions, but the meaning in his words has already explained everything. He does not approve of Qin Tian's actions, and feels that Qin Tian's actions will have no results of.

After Changsun Wuji said this, Li Shimin didn't express his opinion, but just glanced at the others, and said, "You all talk about it too."

Now that Changsun Wuji has spoken, they have nothing to twitch, and they all started talking.

Some civil officials felt that Qin Tian's approach was unfeasible, and some generals also felt that Qin Tian's approach was unfeasible, but those like Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Baolin who had a good relationship with Qin Tian were right regardless of whether they could do it or not. Qin Tian supported it.

"Your Majesty, I feel that since Qin Tian did this, it must have been calculated by him. We have never been to the land of Nanzhao, so how can we be sure that those chieftains are not easy to deal with? What if those chieftains are very good? As for dealing with it, it would be a pity if Qin Tian just let go of the opportunity like this."

"Yes, I also think that Qin Tian may destroy those chieftains. Your Majesty, think about it. If we can destroy those chieftains, then my Tang Dynasty will lose another hidden danger. The people of the land of Nanzhao , as long as it can be used by my Great Tang, my Great Tang will definitely become stronger because of it."

"Yes, yes, I believe in Qin Tian, ​​and he will definitely be able to destroy those chieftains."

These people supported Qin Tian purely because of their trust in Qin Tian, ​​but after they finished saying this, the others immediately snorted.

"A group of frogs at the bottom of the well, are the chieftains so easy to kill? If so, the king of Yunnan, Gu Liang, would have killed them long ago. Do we need to wait until Qin Tian to kill them?"
