Chapter 138
As soon as Li Kezhi's words came out, the hall fell silent instantly, and all the officials in the hall looked at Li Ke in unison.

Although Li Ke was appointed as the supervisor of the Metropolitan Government of Yangzhou, because of his young age, he was only a remote leader and was not an official. Therefore, Li Ke has no real job now.

Li Shimin said that Li Ke came here to discuss matters together, but because he has been in Turkic for several years and has a lot of understanding of Turkic national conditions, so he is listening here. I never expected Li Ke to come out to make suggestions, so when Li Ke came out, let alone someone else, even Li Shimin was quite surprised.

However, since he is in the main hall, he has the responsibility of making suggestions, so it is not impossible for Li Ke to come out and speak.

Li Shimin saw Li Ke coming out, so he asked, "Oh? I don't know why the King of Chu thinks Wei Zheng's words are wrong?"

Li Ke replied: "Reporting to my father, my son thinks that Wei Shaojian's words should focus on township and not caress, which seems to have lost the priority. When we newly acquired the Turkic land in the Tang Dynasty, we should first comfort the people, and then preside over the town. If we blindly suppress , I am afraid that civil upheavals are likely to occur, which is not conducive to the stability of the northern border of our Tang Dynasty."

As soon as Li Kezhi's words came out, Wei Zheng had a look of contempt on his face. In his opinion, Li Ke's words were really the words of a child.

The state affairs are different, people's hearts are different, how can everything be generalized?

I'm afraid Li Ke's words were not just read from that book recently, but he said them in public in this hall. How can he know the difference between dealing with real politics and burying his head in reading.

Wei Zheng asked, "You don't know where the words of His Highness come from?"

Li Ke looked up at Wei Zheng's expression, knowing that he must be underestimating himself, so he replied with a straight line: "There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius: 'Government is based on virtue, such as Beichen, who lives in his place and all the stars share it. .' Now my Great Tang is the North Star of this world. If my Great Tang governs virtuously, I will be the subject of all people, and the world will return to my heart, even the Turkic people are the same."

As soon as Li Kezhi's words came out, the faces of all the officials above the hall were filled with strange expressions, as if they were all holding back their laughter.

It wasn't long before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and now all those who can occupy high positions in the court are all due to merit, and at least some of them simply follow the literary path to become officials. After hearing Li Ke's words, they can't help but feel naive.

According to Confucius, self-cultivation and self-cultivation are acceptable, but if it is used to govern the country and the world, it may be a little too late.

Fortunately, he was in the main hall at this time, otherwise some of the officials would have laughed out loud.

Even Changsun Wuji and others who were watching coldly from the sidelines were secretly amused in their hearts, thinking that Li Ke must be young and likes to show off, but he did not expect this time to be in the wrong place. , maybe he will be praised, but it is ridiculous to say these words in this hall.

Li Ke looked at the strange-looking people in the hall, but his expression was as calm as still water. He just looked up at Li Shimin, as if he didn't know what joke he had just made.

Looking at Aiko's appearance, Li Shimin naturally couldn't bear to be harsh in his heart, and he didn't want to hit Li Ke's self-confidence. On the contrary, he was afraid that Aiko would feel dark because of this incident.

So Li Shimin coughed, signaled the officials to be solemn, and then asked Li Ke: "So, my son thinks the same as Li Baiyao?"

Li Ke advocated benevolent government in Turkic, and in Li Shimin's view, he naturally agreed with Li Baiyao's point of view.

However, Li Ke shook his head and said: "Although Li Shilang's words are good, they are too gentle. If they all follow Li Shilang's words, I am afraid that the Turkic people will have nothing to fear, and many of their actions will violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty." , is also inappropriate."

When Li Kezhi's words came out again, the officials in the hall felt that Li Kezhi's words were naive and ridiculous, and some people were already a little impatient.

Li Ke neither agreed with Wei Zheng's words nor Li Baiyao's words. He casually criticized the words of the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty. He did not have the slightest sense of humility, even a bit pampered, which is not the behavior of a gentleman.

If this matter was not in the hall, some upright people would have asked questions.

At this time, Li Shimin saw Li Ke vetoing the minister's words one after another in the hall, and felt that Li Ke had done something wrong. However, Li Ke has always acted with integrity and courtesy, and rarely violated the rules. It is strange to say that suddenly today. , Could it be that he also has some good strategies?
Li Shimin said: "Wei and Li are both ministers in the court and well-educated people. If you have any ideas, you can ask the ministers for advice, and you are not allowed to criticize them at will."

At the court meeting at a young age, Li Ke could come up with a good strategy in a hurry. All the officials listened to Li Shimin's words and thought it was a step down for Li Ke. It's over, no one will take it too seriously.

But none of the officials in the hall thought that Li Shimin was given the steps, but Li Ke did not go down the steps, but climbed up the steps.

Li Ke said: "I do have my humble opinion and want to speak to my father, and I hope my father can correct me."

Li Shimin didn't know Li Ke's thoughts, but looking at Li Ke's appearance, Li Shimin felt inexplicably reliable, so he said: "My son, but let's talk about it."

Li Kedao: "I believe that if we want to stabilize the land in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty and keep the northern line stable for a hundred years, the first thing we need is all the Turkic tribes, follow the local customs, and send the Turks to the north of the Youzhou and Lingzhou lines. In the empty land in the south, the pastures will not be abandoned, and the Turkic tribes can be used as a barrier for the northern line of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Secondly, the old places of Jieli and Tuli will be our Datang prefectures, and another Dudu Mansion will be established as the jurisdiction, and the Han people will be used as the leader. The chief officials of each state, and the Turkic people as auxiliary officials, control the various ministries, so Monan can be settled."

Quiet, Li Kezhi's words fell to the ground, and the hall was surprisingly quiet.

How much the ministers wanted to laugh just now, how surprised the ministers are now, it is hard for them to imagine that the words just now came from the mouth of a young man.

First move the people, then divide the land, and finally install officials. Li Ke's words are orderly and clear. In just a few words, he completely explained the national policy of Monan. Did Li Ke really come up with it just now? ?

Who could have imagined that the King of Chu, whom they despised in their hearts, could say something astonishing when he was full of words just now, and shocked the whole palace of monarchs and ministers.

Not to mention other people, even the emperor Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, showed a look of surprise on his face.

However, no matter whether Li Kezhi's words are feasible or not, there will always be voices of opposition in the hall.

After a moment of silence, Prince Sheren Chu Liang stepped forward.

"The Turks have already surrendered. If our Great Tang occupies all the Turkic lands and separates the state capitals, I am afraid that Tiele, Khitan and other ministries will feel fear and sorrow, which will not help our Tang to win the hearts of all ministries and stabilize the northern border. "Chu Liang came out and said.

Today's discussion is only about the stability of Monan, and Chu Liang's words are suspected of being critical, but Li Ke is not completely helpless with Chu Liang's words.

But Li Ke will either not come out, and now that he has come out, then he will say something astonishing.

Li Ke said: "You need to know that my father is not only the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also the Khan of the northern tribes. Since the Turks have surrendered, the Tang Dynasty will divide its land and why not set up prefectures and counties."

God Khan!
This was the first time Li Shimin heard this word, but it attracted him deeply.

Li Shimin wants to be the co-lord of the world and an emperor through the ages. What could be more representative of everything than the name "Heavenly Khan"?Behind these three words is endless prestige and submission.

Just these three words are enough to make Li Shimin's heart flutter.
