My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 34 Turning Eastern Turkic into a Super Sheepfold

The Jiangxi Rooster reported Xiaochi, and Shangyi Fang entered Cuiyunqiu.

The Nine Heavens will open the palace, and all nations will be crowned with clothes and crowns!

When the official who announced the time was more prepared to announce the dawn, the changing officer gave the Emperor Tang a emerald cloud fur.

Jiuzhong's imperial palace will open the gate of heaven, and envoys from all nations will bow down to worship the Tang emperor!

The Tang Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in Chinese history!
Internally, the common people live and work in peace and contentment. From Zhenguan to Kaiyuan, a century of prosperity has shaped the unprecedented prosperity of China!
Externally, it is also invincible and invincible, making all countries cry, and the territory once reached 1300 million square kilometers!
This is Datang, the real country of all nations!Kingdom of heaven!

However, as the initiator of the prosperous age, what did Li Shimin do?
Marry a princess!

It was he who set the precedent of Datang seeking peace through peace!
"Since East Turkistan has been beaten to the ground, why send the princess there to spoil them? Isn't it embarrassing?"

"Leaving Chang'an, going to Turkic, separated from relatives and friends, never seeing each other again, how sad is this?"

Originally Wang Yuan was in a good mood, but the more he talked, the more angry he became.

Princesses married to Eastern Turks are usually followed by their fathers, wives and children, and they cannot return to the Central Plains for the rest of their lives. Their fate is very tragic.

Even if it wasn't Li Shimin's plan, it was approved by him!

But when Wang Yuan finished speaking, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui were completely stunned, speechless.

Because what Wang Yuan said was indeed true, the officials of the Tang Dynasty knew it all the time, but they ignored it tacitly.

In their eyes, sacrificing a few women in exchange for peace is nothing more than normal.

Even Xiao Le'er was attracted, and ignored Jieli Khan's "dancing posture", but looked at Wang Yuan strangely.

Although she is a little younger, she is a woman after all, and she empathizes most with Wang Yuan's words.

She may not understand what marriage is, but if she never sees Yeye, A Niang and the prince again, she must cry like a mess, very very very sad.

Although we only got together for more than a month, for Xiao Le'er, Wang Yuan's figure has been engraved in his heart unconsciously.

While Xiao Le'er was still thinking, Du Ruhui broke the silence and said in a deep voice: "It cannot be denied, you are right, Mr. Wang."

"But son, have you ever thought that the Tang Dynasty has only just been established, and there are the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty secretly watching, and there are wolves from the northwestern countries outside!"

"Even though the Eastern Turks are defeated, only Jieli Khan was defeated! The remaining forces of other ministries are still very terrifying, and there is still the possibility of a comeback!"

"For the current Tang Dynasty, marrying a princess, supporting the puppet Khan, winning people's hearts, stabilizing the northwest grassland, restoring national strength, and recharging energy are the most important things!"

"Sacrificing one person for the peace of the world is cruel, but it has been like this since ancient times!"

"As the young master said, since my men in the Tang Dynasty can shed their blood on the battlefield, why can't my women in the Tang Dynasty make sacrifices?"

"Behind every moment, every second of peace, someone needs to carry forward the burden for the common people of this world!"

Although what Wang Yuan said was reasonable, Du Ruhui still couldn't agree with it.

Because reality is what it is, there is no other choice!

"Yes."

Changsun Wuji also nodded, and sighed:
"My lord, I can understand your anger, but reality is so cruel."

"Ha ha!"

However, Wang Yuan sneered at what the two said, not giving them any face at all.

If he is not a time traveler and knows about the future, maybe he is really convinced by this nonsense.

Princess Dingxiang's marriage to East Turkic was the first marriage in Tang Dynasty, but sadly, it was not the last time!
From a historical point of view, it did bring many benefits, the most important of which was long-term peace, which laid the foundation and created an environment for the century-old prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

But after tasting the sweetness, Li Shimin treated Tubo and Tuyuhun did the same.

Could it be that at that time, Datang's national strength had not yet recovered?

It can be said that the marriage of Princess Dingxiang not only did not bring eternal peace, but took away the pride of the Tang Dynasty and the bloodiness of the men of the Tang Dynasty!
For a superpower, if it loses its aggressiveness, it basically has one foot in the grave, and it is not far from extinction!
"Prince, what are you laughing at?"

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui were very embarrassed.

They are not too young anymore, and being ridiculed by a 16-year-old boy like this, I really can't bear the face.

"I'm sorry, Old Joe, Old Sun."

"I just feel sad."

Wang Yuan put away his smile and sighed silently:

"Before I couldn't understand why the Holy Majesty would marry a princess to East Turkic, but now I understand."

"Because in Datang, he is not the only one who has such an idea."

"You are just merchants, and you all think so. It is conceivable that the views of the ministers above the court are not bad."

"That's right, just after winning, everyone wants to ask for peace."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji became even more anxious:

"Young master, what exactly are you thinking, just say it accurately."

"Yes! You're making us miserable!"

They were really anxious. Judging from Wang Yuan's tone, the harm of doing so would be horrific.

Just, what the hell is this!

Wang Yuan glanced at the two of them and sighed, "You really want to know?"

"Yes!"

The two nodded at the same time, and Xiao Le'er also came up.

At this time, they didn't care about Jieli Khan's life and death at all, and just wanted to continue listening to Wang Yuan.

"For Datang, what is really scary is not the outlawed princess, but the meaning behind the outmarried princess—losing the will to make progress!"

Wang Yuan deliberately lowered his voice: "This is the real disaster!"

"Enterprising spirit?"

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui were obviously stunned.

"If you enter, you will lose your family, but if you leave, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish."

"And then know that was born of hardship but died of well-being also."

"For Datang, national power is only part of the reason why it really deters the Northwest countries, and what is more important is the unprecedented national integrity!"

"This is Datang's biggest advantage in facing the Eastern Turks in a mess of sand!"

"If getting married really brings peace, what will Li Er think? What will the court officials think?"

As Wang Yuan said, he turned and left with Xiao Le'er in his arms.

This girl has obviously lost interest in Jieli Khan, so she will go back instead of freezing here.

"how to think?"

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui asked themselves.

Yes!

What would they think if simply marrying a princess could bring peace?

So what is the point of waging war?
Wang Yuan glanced back at the two of them, and answered for them:

"They will think war is pointless!"

"This big victory piled up with blood and integrity has no value at all!"

"For Datang, this is a truly devastating blow!"

"This!"

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui were speechless.

Because at that point, they really might have such an idea!
Since peace can be achieved by sacrificing a princess, war is indeed meaningless!

"But other than that, what else can they do to stabilize East Turkistan?"

Changsun Wuji looked at Wang Yuan, wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and asked with the courtesy of a disciple.

Wang Yuan asked back: "Could it be that, apart from the house arrest of Jieli Khan and the married princess, have you never thought about turning East Turkistan into a super big sheep pen?"
