Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 632

In terms of great success, Li Shimin did not lose to Yang Guang at all, and one of them became a wise king admired by thousands of people, and the other became a tyrant reviled by thousands of people. The biggest reason lies in two words-restraint!
Li Shimin knows how to restrain himself, is willing to listen to other people's advice, and make the most reasonable judgment, which is a prerequisite for him to be a wise king.

Of course, there is a limit to this restraint. When he heard that he could double the territory of Datang, he couldn't restrain himself anymore!
You must know that expanding the territory is an important step for every emperor to become "one emperor through the ages"!

The most important thing is that according to what Gao Ming said, then he doesn't need to pay much, he just needs to send someone to take over the Tianzhu land that Wang Xuance laid down.

Don't be in vain!
It wasn't just Li Shimin who thought so, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others came to the imperial study room and after reading Wang Xuance's excerpts, they gave the same answer.

Especially Li Ji, after reading the scribbled map that Gao Ming painted for Li Shimin, he also gave exactly the same suggestion as Gao Ming just now—occupy Tianzhu, devour the surrounding areas, encircle and eat Tubo, and finally double the territory of the Tang Dynasty!
After listening to his suggestion, the eyes of the generals turned red again—if such a record can be achieved, being king is not a dream!
Of course Li Shimin understood what they were thinking, but Gao Ming didn't care about it, and just said his thoughts directly.

"Our Tang Dynasty is very strong, and it will be even stronger in the future. Our country will be so large that you can't imagine it. As long as you have enough credit, you uncles will have no problem wanting to be above the Duke!"

Having said that, he immediately patted his chest hard.

"My Li Tang royal family has never been mean and ungrateful, so you don't have to worry about the master of merit. No matter what kind of merit, we can give corresponding rewards. If we can give, we dare to give!"

Gao Ming's words contained too many meanings, and they were very shocking, so after hearing his words, everyone present including Li Shimin was stunned.

However, Li Shimin was stunned for just a second before reacting, and then he patted the table with a "bang" and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha... My Dalang is right. Instead of worrying about your meritorious deeds, you should worry about your own merits. As long as you have enough credits, I, Li Shimin, will dare to give any kind of reward, and I can afford it!"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, the four people present reacted, and then they all knelt down on one knee towards him.

"Willing to die for my emperor!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

See this scene.Li Shimin laughed again, and raised his hand towards the four people in front of him while laughing.

"Okay, let's all get up, there is no time for these vain gifts. Before tomorrow morning, I want to see a detailed strategy. Within a month, I want to send troops to Tianzhu!"

"Here!"

……

After an inspiring little episode, everyone's enthusiasm increased a lot, and a heated discussion immediately started, and Gao Ming, a military half-assed, couldn't get in the way.

Since he couldn't get in the mouth anymore, he just stood by as a puppet with peace of mind, but what he didn't expect was that several generals were discussing and discussing, and he was involved.

The reason is simple, Datang needs a reason to send troops.

From ancient times to the present, there must be a reason for sending troops between countries, otherwise it will be unfair, and even if they win the battle, they will have a bad reputation. This is not a simple sentence "success" "Wang Baikou" can handle it.

Furthermore, the plan this time is to occupy Tianzhu, then devour the surrounding countries, and finally surround Tubo and turn it into the territory of Datang.

This plan is very good, but if there is no reason, it will be swaggeringly dispatched with a large army. The reputation is not good, and it will easily attract the vigilance of neighboring countries, which may cause great obstacles to the plan.

Therefore, Datang needs a relatively reasonable reason to send troops. After discussing with the generals, they decided to get married!

Of course, this marriage is not about marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu. After all, because of Alona Shun’s rebellion in Tianzhu, almost all the royal family of the Jieri Dynasty were killed, and there is no one who is worthy of the princess of the Tang Dynasty. .

Now the orthodox royal family of Tianzhu is only left with Princess Rajasari, the younger sister of King Jieri, so the idea of ​​the generals is to let Princess Rajasili marry to Tang Dynasty.

Of course, this is just an excuse, but this excuse is very important, because Datang can use this excuse to send a large number of "marriage-seeking teams" to Tianzhu!
Food and supplies are disguised as gifts, elite soldiers are used as guards, and ordinary soldiers are disguised as civilian husbands. In this way, an army of 10,000+ can swagger and enter Tianzhu grandly.

And in order to give such a huge welcoming team a reasonable reason for existence, it is necessary for the prince Gao Ming to appear on the stage.

You must know that the emperor Li Shimin has the highest status in the entire Tang Dynasty, followed by the prince Gao Ming, so only the two of them get married, so such a large welcoming team is needed.

Li Shimin definitely couldn't do it. After all, the age difference between his Princess Rajashri was too big, and he cherished his reputation very much, so the candidate for this marriage became Gao Ming.

It was declared to the outside world that the prince of the Tang Dynasty liked beautiful women. He heard that Princess Rajasili of Tianzhu was beautiful, so he sent a team to ask for marriage in Tianzhu.

At that time, if Princess Rajasili agrees, then she will marry in Datang, and those courtship teams will stay in Tianzhu to "help" Princess Rajasili manage Tianzhu, and by the way, attack the surrounding "unfriendly" Tianzhu "s country.

After a few years, Princess Rajasili and the Tang prince Gao Ming will have a son and a half daughter, and this child will become the new king of the Tianzhu Jieri Dynasty.

This is the ultimate plan of the generals!
Of course, it doesn't matter if Princess Rajasili disagrees. When the time comes, the courtship team can just find a daughter of a noble family and support her to become the new princess.

Although this is a bit troublesome, it doesn't have much impact on the plan, at most it just takes a little more time, and the original plan can still go ahead!

After hearing this "careful plan", Gao Ming was stunned.

"Although the plan is indeed feasible, you just sold me out like this? What if that Princess Rajasili is ugly?"

Faced with Gao Ming's worries, Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder with a solemn expression.

"Da Lang, for the great cause of the Tang Dynasty, what is a little bit of grievance? When I was forced by Na Jieli to form the Weishui alliance, the humiliation in my heart was much more than that of marrying a foreign woman... …correct!"

Having said that, he suddenly took out another scroll from behind and handed it to Gao Ming.

"This is also sent by Wang Xuance. It is said to be the portrait of Princess Nara Kashili. I haven't had time to open it. She will be your side concubine in the future. You can take a look!"

"Uh……"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming took the scroll with some trepidation, and then unfolded it carefully.

But when he saw the portrait in the picture scroll, his eyes lit up immediately, he closed the picture scroll, and looked at Li Shimin with a serious face.

"I have made up my mind. For the sake of Datang's great cause, I will accept this little grievance!"

"..."
