Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 657: It hurts, so naturally you behave
Situ Li Yuanjing picked up the Goguryeo Credentials dropped by the emperor, unfolded it and read it carefully, with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, my minister Li Yuanjing believes that although Goguryeo's tribute is stingy, the peace talks are still very sincere."

"The successive years of war have indeed had a great impact on Goguryeo; but the burden on the people of the Tang Dynasty has also been considerable."

"The cause of the rebellion among the Mei, Qiong, and Yaluo people was that they had to increase taxes due to the conquest of Goguryeo, and the local government took action."

"I think it is necessary to recuperate and recuperate."

From a purely rhetorical point of view, this is not unreasonable, and it is common for some local officials to petition for a truce.

However, combined with Li Yuanjing's status and his habit of eating everything, it was disgusting.

Who doesn’t know that war will increase the burden on the common people?
However, it was Taizong's national policy to harass Goguryeo continuously!

Datang's recuperation at this time would only give Goguryeo a chance to breathe.

Then, the blood of the soldiers in front was shed in vain!

Li Yuanjing is supported by many fourth- and fifth-grade officials, including those from King Jing's faction and those who are purely concerned about people's livelihood, but they cannot be beaten to death with a stick.

"My minister Fan Zheng has not read much, but he also knows how to make great efforts at one go, then weaken again, and then exhaust himself in three attempts. Is Situ Buguan Zuo Zhuan?"

Fan Zheng snorted in his nostrils, "I'm so embarrassed for you!"

Li Ke stood in the hall like a living Bodhisattva, but said nothing.

He knew Li Yuanjing's intentions well, but if he wanted him to follow suit... he couldn't afford to embarrass that person.

Attendant Yu Zhining raised his wat and roared: "I, Yu Zhining, want to impeach Situ Li Yuanjing in vain and want to destroy Emperor Taizong's military achievements in one day!"

Let me show you what a critic is!
Li Yuanjing innocently opened his big eyes, his eyelids flickering: "No, my servant, why are you so excited? This palace is not a one-spoken house. Your Majesty will use my opinion if it is suitable, and discard it if it is not suitable. I will also I don’t have the ability to force it!”

"If the servant feels that I, Situ, should not speak, I will cover my mouth with a piece of cloth next time I go to court, okay?"

"There are ministers who come forward to ask for rest and recuperation. They are not guilty. How can I, by casually agreeing with him, commit such a heinous crime?"

Li Yuanjing deeply understood the essence of innocence. Although his eyes were tearless, his eyes were gradually red, but it made people feel that he had suffered great injustice.

Ah, this drama queen is really good at talking over tea.

But, Yu Zhining is such an extreme person, otherwise how could they have driven the deposed prince crazy back then?

Meeting someone like Li Yuanjing, Yu Zhining deserved to be unlucky, and the whole story fell into his hands.

Sun Wuji, the captain of the Taiwei, snorted in his nostrils: "The conquest of Goguryeo is a national policy set by Emperor Taizong and his ministers. It cannot be changed despite numerous difficulties and dangers, and there is no need to discuss it again!"

To put it bluntly, his eldest son, Wuji, has made great contributions to that national policy. How can he allow you, Li Yuanjing, to dictate?
Li Yuanjing smiled: "It's true that I spoke lightly with thin lips, so I should be punished."

I didn't expect my nonsense to pass. At best, it was just throwing flies into other people's bowls, which is disgusting.

Silla's request was full of flattery, and Tang Dynasty only had to agree to support Silla. Silla immediately adopted the Tang Dynasty title, imitated the Tang Dynasty official system, and imitated the Tang Dynasty clothes and hats.

Given this condition, if you don't know the nature of Qin Muchu in the Silla Dynasty, it's hard not to be moved by it.

It was a pity that although Fan Zheng expressed his opinion, it was not adopted by Emperor Yonghui.

Alas, the two emperors before and after were equally happy with their achievements.

"Tuyuhun Shangshu Yifu Maha came to court to pay homage to Zhaoling on behalf of the Heyuan County Prince and Wudiye Baldou Khan, and he intended to set foot on the Tuotuo River again."

Taichang Qing Li Daozong reported.

Yifu Maha was the only famous general in Tuyuhun who was slightly better than Tubo. Even in the Tang Dynasty, where famous generals gathered, they also favored him.

Emperor Yonghui was noncommittal: "How is Princess Honghua doing?"

As the first princess of the Tang Dynasty to marry outside the country, Princess Honghua's situation is also related to the success or failure of the Tang Dynasty's marriage strategy.

The couple still played the piano in harmony, and their four sons were Murong Zhong, Murong Wan, Murong Zhi, and Murong Ruo. Later, the tombstone of the eldest princess in Honghua still had Murong Wan's name, and the others were "etc."

"The eldest princess of Honghua and the prince of Heyuan County were very affectionate. In addition to raising their husbands and raising their children, they also led Tuyuhun to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and minimize border conflicts." Language is an art.

There is really nothing to say about the love between the eldest princess of Honghua and Murong Nuohebo. It led Tuguhun to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. It was just putting gold on her face.

If the Tang Dynasty tried to weaken, Tuyuhun would definitely tear off a piece of flesh first.

Between countries, it is best not to believe in so-called "virtues" such as loyalty.

The main reason for reducing border conflicts is that Tuyuhun cannot be defeated.

I have been severely punished several times, and it hurts, so I naturally behaved.

"As a son-in-law, Tuyuhun will pay tribute to thousands of cattle and horses."

Tributes from the lower state and gifts from the upper state usually have little difference in value.

It is unsustainable that one side always suffers.

But Datang's need for cattle and horses was obviously more urgent.

I have to admit that even though Taipus Temple has developed many pastoral supervisors in Longyou, the quality of the horses is still slightly inferior to Choco horses, let alone Qinghai Cong.

Xiao Rui, the Imperial Servant, came out and said, "The pastoral supervisors want these cattle and horses."

Maybe there are some stupid people who don’t understand the reason. Anyone with a little experience knows that this is to improve the Datang cattle and horse breeds to ensure that the quality does not deteriorate.

"can."

Emperor Yonghui agreed softly.

You Fugui raised his voice and announced his resignation.

It is said that the eunuch's voice is softer and sharper, but in fact it is not that absolute. At least it is not so obvious when Chang Yin speaks, but it is particularly thin when the pitch is raised.

To put it bluntly, it is obviously more appropriate to let them sing high notes.

Li Yifu followed Fan Zheng out of the Taiji Gate and shrank his neck: "Hey, does your Majesty agree or disagree? Where is the Tuotuo River?"

Fan Zheng looked around and said softly: "That's an acquiescence! How can your majesty openly agree to it if it's not for the evil or the mourning?"

Li Yifu thought for a moment: "Hey, this is wrong! Aren't you not good at studying? Why can you just pick up "Sima Law" at your fingertips?"

"Besides, the main premise of what Sima Fa said is that all the countries are organized under the name of the Zhou Dynasty!"

The meaning of these two sentences is: do not take advantage of the enemy's country's mourning to raise troops, and do not invade the enemy's country due to a major disaster.

In addition to the etiquette aspect, the military aspect also needs to be considered.

An invasion during a national mourning period will naturally arouse strong resistance from the army, and the attack will even be more difficult than usual.

Natural disasters can trap the enemy's civilians, but they can't bring down your army?
Besides, Ertu was the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was not suitable for overt estrangement.

“Above the Tuotuo River is the Tanggula Pass, and not far over is the Yema Station in Tubo.”

Seeing Li Yifu's blank eyes, Fan Zheng shook his head helplessly.

The shortcomings of Li Yifu are obvious. He only knows political affairs and does not understand military affairs, let alone war.

If Liu Rengui had been here during the incident, he would have been able to talk endlessly with Fan Zheng.

Speaking of Liu Rengui, he later offended the powerful Li Yifu due to the Bi Zhengyi case and became the governor of Qingzhou. Many people even wrote that he was "demoted to the governor of Qingzhou".

Please understand the official system, how many ranks are given to officials, and how many ranks are given to governors.

It is okay for Li Yifu to expel him from the capital, but don't use the word "derogatory" indiscriminately. Is there any reason that the more he is demoted, the higher his rank will be?
