Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1013

In the Hall of Ganlu.

The governors of the two courts in Chang'an all rushed to hear the edict.

The emperor had just changed into a bright yellow dragon robe, and the cane in his hand was replaced by a jade sword from the Son of Heaven.

Seeing the unsightly expression on the emperor's face, all the chief executives couldn't help but thump.

"Dear dears, I wrote a new poem today, I would like to ask you to comment on it and see how it goes."

The prime ministers looked at each other, not knowing which play the emperor was singing again.

"Listen to me."

"In the history of the Qing Dynasty of the Han family, Jizhuo is a marriage. The country depends on the master, and the safety and danger are entrusted to the woman.

How can the jade appearance be imitated by Hu Chen.The thousand-year-old bone underground, who is the assistant minister? "

After reading the emperor's poem, the hall was extremely quiet.

In addition to Pingzhangshi and Minister of the Ministry of War, Wei Wensheng, who sits in Wuwei, Hexi, other political affairs halls, Pingzhangshi, and palace scholars from the Imperial Academy are all there.

Seventeen of the eighteen prime ministers and bachelors came. In addition, Tai Tuo, Privy Envoy Zhang Xutuo, Prince Shaobao, Yushi Dafu Du Yan, and Yin Changsun Wuji of Jingzhao Prefecture also came to attend the meeting.

Most of the 20 people in the hall can understand this poem.

Especially among the great scholars of the Imperial Academy, which one is not a well-known great scholar in the world today?And the prime ministers in the political affairs hall, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, etc., are also excellent writers, and Du Yan, the imperial historian, is also a personal disciple of the great Confucian Wang Tong.

Wen Yanbo, a scholar of the Hanyuan Temple, even felt that this poem has been well done. Although it does not have the gorgeous rhetoric of the palace style poems since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the poetic bones are upright, and the poetic flavor is even more penetrating.

The emperor's poem directly criticizes that the Han Dynasty's kinship policy is the worst policy, saying that the country should rely on the wise emperor, not on women.It is a futile act and an act of self-deception to try to resolve the conflict with the barbarians through beauty and beauty.

Those ministers in the Han Dynasty who advocated peace have already become bones, and none of them can be praised by future generations as a minister of the country.

Everyone understood that the reason why the emperor called everyone here was because the Tubo mission entered Chang'an to marry the princess.

"National prestige is gained by fighting, not by women." The emperor made a deafening sound with his sword stick. "At the beginning of the founding of our country, I set up the national motto not to be close to relatives, but why did you ignore my motto after only a few years?"

There was silence in the hall.

After a long time, Chen Shuda came out.

"Your Majesty, this year's war was caused by Tang Jian's wrong move in Tuyuhun, which caused me, Daqin, to fight a wrong war that shouldn't have been fought at the wrong time and in the wrong place. Now this The war has been going on for several months. The imperial court has mobilized 40 to [-] government soldiers, hundreds of thousands of county soldiers, and millions of people. The end is still far away, General Siye's [-] soldiers and civilians have been trapped in Dafeiling for three months, and they are in danger."

"The national treasury is already empty, the government soldiers are exhausted, and the common people are exhausted. It is really a critical time. If the war does not end, then this war may be our great Qin campaign against Liaodong."

As soon as the words Zheng Liaodong came out, the faces of all the butchers changed slightly.

However, Chen Shuda continued, "This war must end. If the fight continues, our Great Qin will collapse. The country will have no money and food for the army, no money and food for compensation, and the people will suffer from labor. The farming season will be delayed and the fields will be abandoned. It is in danger."

"The San Francisco in the south of the Yangtze River has shown signs of instability. If the San Francisco rebels, the southeast will also be corrupted, and the country will not be a country at that time."

silence.

Luo Changcheng sighed.

"What Chen Xiangguo said is also reasonable, not completely alarmist, but I still think that even if there is a truce, it is not sending a woman, and I will never send a woman."

Chen Shuda is the best.

"Does Your Majesty have a clever strategy to subdue the enemy without fighting?"

He didn't quite understand why the emperor was so obsessed with discord, and Tubo just wanted to step down. They all made it clear that they didn't force the royal princess, as long as they had the title of princess.It doesn't matter whether the emperor married a clan daughter or a minister's daughter or even a court lady.

They only need this woman to have the title of Princess Daqin, and then send her over to make a marriage. They will still send 5000 taels of gold and [-] yaks, and they will also cease fighting and withdraw their troops to relieve the siege of Dafeichuan.

"The people of Tubo only want the name of a princess and relative, but how can I, Daqin, confer this title lightly? How can I open such a mouth so easily?"

"Your Majesty, state affairs are the most important thing." Chen Shuda remonstrated bitterly.

"It's true that state affairs are the most important thing, but I won't say that. My reply to the Tubo people is only one sentence. If you want to stop fighting, then you should immediately withdraw your troops to relieve the siege and withdraw from Tuyuhun. Crossing the border, Tuyuhun is the internal affairs of our Great Qin, and Tubo has no right to interfere, if you dare to reach out, you will be cut."

"Your Majesty, temporarily negotiating a peace truce with Tubo will not damage the country's prestige and beauty. Please think twice, Your Majesty." Now, Yu Zhining, a senior scholar, also begged.

Luo Cheng shook his head, "I promised to make a marriage, and then, we will withdraw from Tuyuhun, and then hand over Tuyuhun to Tubo? Even in the future, all the Qiang and barbarians in the Western Mountains will only see Tubo and no longer have Great Qin in their eyes. If Tubo is allowed to enter Tuyuhun, In the future, the Hexi and Longyou regions of our Great Qin will no longer be safe, and even the Western Regions will be difficult to fight for."

"I have ordered Qin Qiong's army to counterattack across the board, defeat Murong Ke, and go south to Dafeichuan."

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

Nearly half of the prime ministers and academicians are trying to persuade the emperor not to be impulsive.

Once the battle cannot be won quickly, Na Siye's army may be completely wiped out, and Daqin may collapse as a result.

"No, no, the Western Turkic Army has been attacked to its weakness. Now Shekui Khan has transferred him to the Western Turkic Army of Tuyuhun one after another. Now the Western Turkic Army of Tuyuhun is less than [-], which is less than [-] at the beginning. One, even these [-] have no fighting spirit, and they are even more worried about our army invading their nests in the Western Regions, and they are all thinking about how to retreat and return."

"Nearly half of Murong Ke's [-] Tuyuhun troops are Wuhe. They are fighting a decisive battle near Qinghai Lake. They are no match for Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong's army. The balance of the war has tilted towards us, and victory is just around the corner. At this time, Hugh If the soldiers stop fighting, then all previous achievements will be for naught.”

"I believe that Siye can still stick to it, and I also believe that Yu Chigong and Laizheng can defeat Murong Ke."

The decisive point of the war has arrived. At this time, give up and accept Tubo's conditions, that is to be undefeated and defeated.

"Decree the world to exempt all the two taxes, money and food in the world this year. If the people of all provinces delay their fields due to supporting the war, they can be recorded by the imperial court and compensated later. The government can first open the warehouse to release the grain and then make a report."

Even if he fights hard to finish this battle and the court's vitality is exhausted, Luo Cheng must fight for the result.

And he believed that victory was within sight.
