Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 137 Tangled Li Shimin
"Third brother, what you want to say has something to do with Gaochang Kingdom's destruction of the country. If you have anything to do, you can just call the shots. Anyway, Gaochang Kingdom was also brought down by your special forces."

Li Shimin probably also guessed the purpose of Li Cha's coming to him.Directly and generously said that Li Cha can make his own decisions.

"Second brother, if you don't tell me about the Special Forces being in Gaochang, I will decide for myself. Hahaha, isn't he, Hou Junji, trying to hide from me? I want to see if he can hide."

Li Cha laughed out loud.The laughing Li Shimin was a little worried for his beloved general.

"That... the third brother. For the sake of the second brother, can you stop haggling with Hou Junji? After all, he is also my Duke Lu of the Tang Dynasty, and a meritorious minister of the Tang Dynasty. Don't let him be too arrogant. Embarrassing."

"Besides, Hou Junji didn't offend you very much, did he? They hide from you to the northernmost part of the Tang Dynasty, so you can let him go."

Li Shimin was a little worried that Hou Junji would be teased by Li Cha, and he really got into a fight with him.In that case, it would be really difficult for him.

"Don't worry, I won't spoil your love for you, I have a sense of proportion."

Li Cha said with a smile.

"I'm here this time to discuss with you the arrangements for the Western Regions."

"Second brother, I chose the site of the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan's royal court as the base of the Polu Army, and you must be aware of the purpose."

"Now it seems that the effect is not bad. Even if I am not there, the Xue Yantuo tribe does not dare to get too close to our Tang. There is no chaos around the royal court, and the Turks and our Tang people get along relatively well."

"Now Tubo has also been completely defeated by us. Gaochang Kingdom is also completely under our control. Now we can completely emulate the Polu Army and station troops in these two places."

"This is called keeping the enemy out of the country. As long as our army of the Tang Dynasty stands firm in these two places, it can effectively contain the development of the tribes of the two countries of West Turks and Tuyuhun. Even if we fight, it will be on our side Outside the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"That's why I already knew that Gaochang Kingdom had surrendered, but I didn't ask you to notify Hou Junji's army to return."

Li Cha explained to Li Shimin in detail why he came to him this time.

Li Shimin thought about it, and finally nodded.

"Third brother, what you said is correct. Judging from the situation in East Turkic, what you said is indeed correct."

"I will discuss this matter with the ministers. But there is still one problem."

"How many troops should we put in? It won't work if we put less. If we only put a few thousand troops there. If we really fight, the distance is too far, and they won't be able to support our backup troops to go to the rescue."

"If tens of thousands of troops are deployed, our current military strength in the Tang Dynasty is not enough. Liaodong, Nanyue, Dongying, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty, we have to deploy troops."

Li Shimin directly threw out this difficult problem.He knew that this issue must not only concern himself, but also the civil and military forces of the whole dynasty.I just don't know what Li Cha has in mind.

"Second brother, you can definitely think of a solution to this problem. It's just that you don't want to implement it."

"If you want to become an emperor through the ages, you must have the courage to break the rules. The things left by the ancestors may not be all right. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, so what if you break the rules of the past?"

"Second brother, you are now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Your kindness should be given to the people of the Tang Dynasty first. If you want the whole human race to share the rain and dew, you have to wait until you unify the whole world and become the only emperor in the world." .”

Li Chayu persuaded Li Shimin earnestly.

"Third brother, I understand the truth, but I really don't have the final say on this alone. If I can overcome disputes and persuade the officials, it is called courage. But if I just insist on going my own way, with no one or only a few people supporting me, then it's a big deal." Tang will be messed up."

It can be heard from this sentence that Li Shimin really has a way.In other words, every politician can think of a solution to the shortage of troops stationed abroad.

It's just that some countries don't have that ability.But the capable Datang was restricted by the rules left by his ancestors.

"How will you know if you don't try? I told you long ago. You can't rule the country by relying on those sour scholars."

"I'm not saying that Confucianism is bad and can't govern the country. It's that those sour Confucians have misunderstood the way of Confucius and Mencius. They don't know how to adapt it at all."

"Second brother, you are the one who troubled yourself about this matter. Literati, few people are willing to take the lead in provoking ancestors' rules. If you don't do it well, it may be bad for thousands of years. But it doesn't mean that if someone takes the lead, they will I will definitely object."

"So, second brother, for the sake of Datang's development, you still need to raise this issue."

"Let's infer that as long as those military generals can expand the territory of our Tang Dynasty, there is nothing they can't do. They also want to rely on this history to leave a name."

"And those real great Confucians, like Kong Yingda, Yao Silian, Chu Liang, Yu Shinan, etc. You know the character of the people under you best. Do you think they are the kind of flexible people who don't understand?"

"Also, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, including Du Ruhui who is no longer here. Are they not the great Confucians of today? Think about what they do in daily life, and you will understand that they will not object."

"As for the rest of the ignorant Confucians, what do you care what their opinions are? They only have the ability to speak, and they have nothing but their mouths."

Li Cha used his own insights to analyze Li Shimin clearly and logically.

"Third brother, do you really think we can do this? Some things have been deeply rooted in our bones by our ancestors for thousands of years. The resistance to doing this will definitely not be small. I am afraid that they will spread it among the people. Some inappropriate remarks. Caused turmoil in the hearts of the people."

Li Shimin was still a little worried.

"This is not my second brother who is full of pride and courage. What can I do if I am afraid of it?"

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Li Cha felt a little aggressive in his words.

Li Cha could feel the entanglement in Li Shimin's heart.

"Teachers are famous."

"If the name is not correct, the speech will not be correct."

"There is a god when you raise your head three feet up."

"Unjust aggression will be condemned by God."

And so on, all these deep-rooted thoughts confined Datang to a vicious circle in which he could only send troops for revenge after being beaten.

And what Li Shimin and Li Cha discussed this time is to jump out of this vicious circle and take the initiative to attack.But this violated the ideological restrictions of thousands of years, how could Li Shimin be careless and careful.

"Third brother, one of my decisions will affect millions of households in the Tang Dynasty. How dare I have any lofty ambitions. Wasn't it all forced before."

"The Tang Dynasty in the past was full of holes. No matter how chaotic it was, there would be no chaos. But now the Tang Dynasty is developing rapidly, and the people can finally see hope. How dare I provoke this easily."

"Accidentally destroy the peace of the Tang Dynasty. I will become a sinner through the ages."

A generation of Emperor Ming finally took off his strong mask in front of Li Cha, revealing his weak side.

"Second brother, it's not as serious as you think. We have so many foreign generals who can be used here, as long as you believe that they will not rebel, you can send them. This way, the voice of opposition from the people will be quiet. As long as we control Speech, if you don't let people with a heart take advantage of it, there will be no trouble."

Li Cha looked at Li Shimin who showed his weak side in front of him, and comforted him.This was the first time he saw his second brother like this since he grew up.

That's how people are.The more things you care about in your heart, the more worries you will have in doing things.Even Li Shimin, who was rated as an emperor through the ages by later generations, was not immune.

When the Tang Empire was first established, the country was riddled with holes, and there was nothing to care about except human life.At that time, Li Shimin dared to make any decision.

But now, Datang has entered a stage of rapid development.The people are prosperous and live and work in peace and contentment.The current prosperity of Datang is something he never dared to dream of before.

Therefore, Li Shimin fell into an unprecedented struggle.
