Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 64

Chang'an Tai Chi Palace

Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun captured Minzhou on the [-]th, and Li Yao, the defender of Minzhou, was killed, which shocked the government and the public for a while.

Li Shimin glanced at the officials in the hall with a stern face and asked: "Fu Yun invaded Minzhou and killed my guard. I want to send troops to crusade, what do you think?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the civil servants and generals in the court began to argue.A large group of Confucian ministers headed by Kong Yingda insisted on the teaching of kingship and should not use weapons rashly. They also cited the famous saying of the Master, "Though the territory is large, warlike ones will die!" They should adhere to the words of the sages.

But Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie and other generals trembled angrily when they heard what these old masters said, what the hell did they say when they called at the door, could it be so difficult to wait for them to come to Chang'an in one go?
The newly appointed censor Wang Gui walked out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, during the reign of Emperor Wude, Tuyuhun also invaded our Tang Dynasty in the west to plunder money, and then they also took the initiative to seek peace. They are nomadic people, and their whereabouts are erratic. Not sure, General Chai only beheaded a mere five hundred last time.

If the army conquers and destroys the national power, it is better to send an envoy to withdraw from Minzhou and return the soldiers to the common people, so as to show your majesty the demeanor of a benevolent and virtuous lord of the state. Wouldn't it be beautiful in this way. "

Just when Wang Gui was about to continue bragging about bi, new news from Tuyuhun came again.Khan Fuyun of Tuyuhun begged for his son Zun Wang to marry Princess Datang as his wife, and at the same time asked the Emperor of Tang Dynasty to reward Zun Wang with ten thousand taels of gold and other gifts.

Fu Yun's bi can be a bit big, and Li Shimin's hands in his sleeves are bulging, but he hasn't waited for Li Shimin to speak.

"Your Majesty, since the Han Dynasty, the policy of peace and marriage has always been the national policy of the Central Plains Dynasty and the barbarians to make peace and quell the war. Liu Bang adopted Lou Jing's suggestion and made the marriage of the Han Dynasty clan daughter to the Xiongnu Shanyu the Yan family.

Sending a certain amount of fluff, rice, wine, food, etc. to the Xiongnu at the age of the year, our dynasty can also achieve the goal of "using the barbarians to control the barbarians" through the policy of making peace with the princess. "The censor Li Yanshou showed off his knowledge.

Of course, Li Chengqian also noticed Li Shimin's strangeness. The father and son looked at each other, and Li Chengqian clearly saw the three words "hate them" in the emperor's eyes.

"You hit a pig." Li Chengqian interrupted Li Yanshou and walked down the jade steps.

"Your Highness, even if you are the crown prince, you can't bully your subjects like this." It's not like Li Yanshou has never met Li Chengqian, and it's not easy to back down when encountering someone, otherwise how will he gain a foothold in the court in the future.

"Historical Records: The Biography of Liu Jing's Uncle Sun Tong records that Gao Zu named his family's son the eldest princess, and his wife was Shan Yu, so Liu Jing went to make a marriage contract. There is also a saying in Han Chaocuo's policy on virtuous literature: the people are in harmony, and the country is peaceful.

I don’t need to explain to you what this family and common people mean.It can be seen that even when the Han Dynasty was weak, the princess who got married was also selected among your daughters. "

Li Chengqian bit the word "princess" very hard, but it was these two words that caused the hearts of all the officials in the hall to thump. None of them knew that most of the marriages were under the name of princess.

Who doesn't know that the prince in front of him is not a gentleman, what if he picks his daughter.

"Li Yushi, are you willing to dedicate your daughter to assist the country?"

Li Chengqian bared his little white teeth and asked very sincerely, seeing that the crown prince found him, Li Yanshou was so expectant that he couldn't tell.

Nonsense, who wants to push their own flesh and blood into the fire pit.

"I know that none of you are willing to do so. All of you loves are parents and know how to love your children. Have you thought about it for His Majesty?
Is that how you share your worries? Don’t you understand the principle of not doing to others what you don’t want done to you? "

"You are all seven-foot-tall men, and you are all masters who urinate standing up. How come you are scared as soon as the enemy hits the door, and exchange a woman for Gou'an? I am really ashamed for you."

Li Chengqian's words hit the hearts of all the officials, many of them lowered their heads, while the generals were all blushing and panting.

Li Chengqian, who reviewed the performance of the officials, snorted coldly, turned around and said to Li Shimin: "Father, Tuyuhun broke the previous agreement, invaded my territory, killed my guard, and now comes to force the princess to marry. It can be said that it is tolerable." What can't be tolerated.

Please Your Majesty make an order to attack Tuyuhun, and my son is willing to raise the sixth rate of the East Palace to fight Fu Yun to the death. "

"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun is no more than a small country of Qu'er, yet it dares to despise the Celestial Dynasty. I think it should be cut down."

"Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, haven't read so many books, so I don't understand the truths these old men say, but I can't let those barbarians laugh that I don't have any men in Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger. I have heard it before."
Seeing that the crown prince had called for a fight, those who had already been unable to bear it all came out to support him.

And many civil servants who were burned by Li Chengqian's old face also stood up and asked the emperor to issue an order to start a war with Tuyuhun.

"Your Majesty, Minzhou is located in the throat of the northwest. It connects Sichuan and Sichuan in the south and Yongzhou in the east. It has always been a battleground for military strategists and must not fall into the enemy's hands. Moreover, Tuyuhun is small and barren, and its national strength cannot sustain large-scale battles.

If this beast is allowed to wander around the border of the Tang Dynasty and kill our people, then what is the majesty of the Celestial Dynasty, so I ask your Majesty to issue an order to conquer the non-subjects. "

At the critical moment, Zuo Servant Du Ruhui also stood up and made up for it.What should I do?Needless to say?let's hit!
Beat those arrogant Qiang people to pieces, and let them know that the might of the Tang Dynasty cannot be violated, whose warriors are considered strong.

Looking at the indignant officials in the hall, Li Shimin felt a little regretful.It was originally intended for Li Chengqian to seal the mouths of those ministers who advocated peace talks, but who would have thought that this little bastard would get himself into it.Isn't it ridiculous that the prince leads the army to fight?

But judging from the current situation, it is impossible to disagree. You can't refute the prince's loyalty in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.Now that things are up to now, I can only grit my teeth and agree first, and then deal with him later.

"The crown prince's words and the request of all the ministers are approved. The draft edict of Zhongshu province: Qin Shubao is ordered to be the chief commander of the Xikaidao march, Hou Junji is the deputy commander to send 8000 troops to conquer Tuyuhun, and the prince will be the supervisor of the army. Six troops will be dispatched [-] people went out with the army."

Li Chengqian, who came out of the hall, was refreshed. Although he is the crown prince of a country now, it still shouldn't change his militancy as a professional soldier.After coming to Datang, he hoped that others would have a good time. How could he let go of such an opportunity after such a hard time.

Besides, these heroes in the early Tang Dynasty didn't come out of the river of blood with his father's corpse.In addition, Li Shimin is now in the prime of life, and those important officials don't take himself as the prince seriously at all.In their opinion, it is not certain whether it will be Li Chengqian's turn in the future?So this is one of the reasons why Li Chengqian wanted to go out with the army.
