I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 122 King Qin's bold words!Give me ten years, and the Turks will be destroyed! (25)

As soon as Li Jiancheng's words fell, there was a commotion in the court.

Li Yuan also frowned and remained silent.

"His Royal Highness, you suggested moving the capital right after winning the battle. This... doesn't seem very good, does it?"

Xiao Yu said in a low voice in the queue.

"Xiao Ge's words are wrong."

Li Jiancheng said loudly,

"This victory is nothing more than a short-lived victory in front of us, and it's not actually a victory. It can only be said that it temporarily repelled the Turkic invasion."

"Those who don't plan for the future can't plan for a while. The court cannot be blinded by the temporary advantages in front of us. We should have a big picture!"

Xiao Yu's lips moved slightly, and was about to refute, but Li Yuan nodded.

"What the prince said makes sense."

he waved,

"I should consider the overall situation...you continue to talk."

"Yes."

Li Jiancheng responded, and then analyzed:
"The reason why the Turks have repeatedly invaded is that the target has never been Binzhou or Jingzhou."

"The goal of Jieli Khan has always been Chang'an!"

"Why? This is not only because Chang'an is the capital of the country, but also because it is the most benevolent place in the world, with the most wealth accumulated, and it is also a gathering place for talents from all over the world."

"What the Turkic people are greedy for is this piece of fat! And this piece of fat happens to be very close to them, as long as they break through a few cities, they can get it!"

"It can't be blamed on Jieli Khan, anyone would covet it, right?"

Li Yuan nodded.

Li Jiancheng had already explained this point of view to him before, but this time it was more detailed and more reasonable.

Now when he speaks publicly during the court meeting, many ministers in the court also secretly nod, implicitly supporting the prince's argument.

"In your opinion, can moving the capital be avoided?"

Li Yuan stroked his beard.

"Yes." Li Jiancheng nodded firmly.

"As long as the emperor is not hanging high in front of the Turks, the barbarians will not think about how to attack the Tang Dynasty every day. Even if they really invade, it is just a side problem and will not hurt the root."

He said loudly,

"In my opinion, Chang'an should be abandoned immediately, all the wealth and materials should be moved out, all the palaces and mansions should be demolished, and this place should be turned into an ordinary city, even a place of poverty!"

"Father can find a new site in the blessed land of the Central Plains as the capital. From then on, he can sit back and relax and never worry about the Turkic invasion."

"My son and minister's words, please accept my father's words."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.

"The strategy offered by His Royal Highness, I think it is appropriate."

Pei Ji came out and said,
"The Turkic wolves are ambitious, and every time they look south, it makes Chang'an panic. The people don't want to work, and the officials are worried."

"Your Majesty, even if you went hunting, you were disappointed by the Turkic raid. Why are you so nervous after a hasty obeisance to the general?"

"During the period when the King of Qin was on the expedition, I don't know how many people, like the humble officials, didn't think about food and drink. On the one hand, they prayed for the victory of the King of Qin, but on the other hand, they had to prepare for the worst... If the King of Qin loses the battle, don't we have to wait? escape?"

"It's a small thing to wait for me to be embarrassed, but your majesty is the emperor, how can the emperor be embarrassed?!"

"I thought about it and thought about it, but the only way to avoid it is to move the capital, so that the court can be stable, the people can feel at ease, and your Majesty can govern the country calmly."

"This is the truth, please accept it, Your Majesty."

When Pei Ji came out, the prince's party and the more timid and cautious ministers responded one after another, and the momentum was a bit huge!
Although Chang'an's property is reluctant, they still want to slip away when they think that the Turkic invasion will destroy their families at every turn...

And another group of sticklers, such as Xiao Yu, Dou Dan, etc., all looked unhappy.

Destroy the city and move the capital?

It's really thanks to you guys who brought it up, isn't it ugly?

Can I have some backbone?
At this time, they couldn't speak out to refute, so they looked at Li Shimin one after another.

"Well……"

Li Yuan tapped the dragon chair lightly with his fingers, and pondered,

"What you dear friends said is also reasonable. I also feel that the Turks are very annoying. They can't be destroyed, but they can be avoided..."

"Since that's the case, then..."

Before he could say anything, Li Shimin finally raised his head and said forcefully:
"Father, my son thinks that the theory of moving the capital is absolutely unfeasible!"

"Since ancient times, which dynasty has not suffered from the barbarians? But which of the sage monarchs in ancient times chose to move their capital to avoid disaster? Like the Qin and Han Dynasties, which one didn't beat the Xiongnu?"

"Even at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was divided into three kingdoms, and during times of civil strife, they were not afraid of foreign enemies!"

"Now the father is the sage and hero who founded the country, ended the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, established the country with martial arts, and is called martial virtue! My Tang Dynasty has millions of elite soldiers, invincible!"

"The country is strong and the monarch is wise. How can we move the capital because of the troubles of the barbarians? Wouldn't this shame the father and make the world laugh?!"

"This is a matter of boosting the prestige of the barbarians and destroying one's own ambitions. This minister will definitely not agree with it!"

Li Er's speech is still level.

Put a tall hat on Li Shimin first, and then say nothing.

You are so awesome, how can you be afraid of mere barbarians?

Ok? !

Sure enough, Li Shimin's words immediately pulled Li Yuan back.

He also felt a little ashamed.

After winning the battle and moving the capital in a hurry, isn't this to show the world that Li Yuan is afraid of the Turks?
In this way, how can he maintain his image of being wise and mighty in the hearts of the subjects of the world?Maybe they will be ridiculed as soft eggs and soft-legged shrimps!
Li Yuan couldn't accept this kind of criticism.

He is the founding king of the country, not the faint king of the subjugated country!

"I dare not agree with the king of Qin's words."

Pei Ji answered,
"Moving the capital is not an act of weakness, but an act of wisdom!"

"It's a dangerous thing to hang a country's capital in front of foreigners. Even if His Majesty doesn't move the capital, future generations will definitely be invaded by barbarians, and they will definitely move the capital!"

"But when the time comes to relocate, the price will be too high. Why should we leave such a difficult problem to future generations?"

"Moving the capital now really shows that His Majesty's strategy is far-reaching. It was planned for thousands of years, and it was done by a wise monarch!"

The two sides are just like a debate, you come and go.

Li Yuan's face was also a little tangled.

Listen to Li Shimin, it makes sense.

But Pei Ji and Li Jiancheng also seem to be somewhat reasonable...

Who should I listen to?
"Heh, what's wrong with foreigners?"

Li Shimin said proudly,

"In the past, Huo Qubing was no more than a general of the Han court, and he had the ambition to destroy the Huns! He said that the Huns are not destroyed, why are they home! But now, where are the Huns? They have long since perished in the long river of history!"

"Although I am not talented, I would like to wipe out the barbarians! With the national power of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor only needs to give the son ten years, and the son is willing to swear that the Turks will be wiped out within ten years!"

"By that time, all the foreign races will be gone, so why worry?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers were full of anger and blood!

What a bold statement, what an ambition!

As expected of His Royal Highness King Qin!
