I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Shangguan Yi looked coldly and continued: “Li Shimin鈥檚 precedent for arresting merchants cannot be set. If Li Shimin is like this, then we will A Tooth For A Tooth and capture the territory of Xia Country All the Great Tang merchants. These Great Tang merchants are all related. After all, those who can do business here have certain influence and background.”

paused, Shangguan Yi again Said: “Tell them why we arrested them. In this way, these merchants will spontaneously send a letter back to Great Tang, and there will be an uproar in the world, and countless people will stand up and criticize the emperor. Even the officials of the Imperial Censor station, too. We will meet Emperor Impeach. We use Great Tang鈥檚 merchants to force Li Shimin.”

Ma Zhou shook his head and said, “His Majesty, the minister thinks it is inappropriate.”

Du Qi He said: “What about the reason?”

Ma Zhou said solemnly: “The reason is actually very simple. Once we do this, what is the difference from Li Shimin? In this way, which businessman will truly Convinced by His Majesty, I will be willing to go to Xia Country to do business.”

“I, Xia Country, rely on His Majesty’s wise martial arts, and continue to expand the territory. But in essence, Xia Country is a business-based country .Because of the innumerable foundations of Xia Country, there is everything today and the prosperity of Xia Country today. So dealing with the Great Tang merchants in Xia Country is tantamount to cutting off his own arm.”

“His Majesty, the minister opposes the businessman who took Great Tang. Li Shimin is cruel, but they are innocent. Moreover, after the businessman of Great Tang is taken down, it will have an impact on our business in Xia Country. “

paused, Ma Zhou continued: “Perhaps Li Shimin just hopes that we will do something to the merchants of Great Tang. Because of this kind of injury, Li Shimin has little effect, but for us , But it has far-reaching influence.”

Lai Ji nodded and said: “His Majesty, the minister agrees with Ma Zhou’s analysis.”

Shangguan Yi argued: “Although the merchant who won Great Tang has a certain impact. But it鈥檚 better than Li Shimin鈥檚 businessman who won my Xia Country and did nothing. The right of two evils is the lesser one. At this step, that is the most suitable arrangement. Although there is a loss in this way, it is not the miss of His Majesty, it is caused by Great Tang. Blame, you can only blame Great Tang. “

After Du Qi heard this, he never expressed his opinion.

Shangguan Yi’s methods are very targeted, and they are retaliating. According to Du Qi’s plan, he also wants to retaliate. Yes. But even if Du Qi wants revenge, it can’t be revenge for killing one thousand and harming 800.

Du Qi said: “Can there be other strategies? “

Li Jing said suddenly: “His Majesty, the minister has a strategy to retaliate against Great Tang, at least to make Li Shimin burn out. “

Du Qi said: “What should I do if I interrupt you?” “

Li Jing said: “It is divided into three steps. “

“1st Step, tell all the Great Tang merchants in Xia Country what Li Shimin did. Tell them that Li Shimin wanted to arrest the merchants of Xia Country for his own desires. When His Majesty learned of it, he was furious, and he was ready to retaliate against Li Shimin, and also to arrest all Great Tang merchants in Xia Country. “

“It鈥檚 just that His Majesty thought over and over again, and finally did not take action, because Xia Country is an open and inclusive country, as long as it is a person who is legally working in Xia Country, whether it is a citizen of Xia Country, or Or the people of Great Tang, and even people from other countries, as long as they abide by laws and regulations, His Majesty will protect them and will not arrest people wantonly. “

“The beauty of this move is to discredit Li Shimin’s image. “

“Li Shimin has always loved the people like his son, and has always worked hard. He arrested Xia Country’s merchants in Great Tang, which is equivalent to saying that he set a very bad precedent. As for the actions of His Majesty, after the Great Tang merchant knew about it, he would inevitably spread the letter. There would be countless people who knew what His Majesty did and were more inclined to approve of His Majesty. “

“Some people will even migrate to Xia Country. What’s more, some people might take action and use their power to put pressure on the emperor. After all, many businessmen are united and powerful. “

“So this step is actually a contest of popular support and the establishment of their respective images. “

Li Jing said resolutely: “After this incident, it was helpful to His Majesty’s image, and it also helped His Majesty win over these Great Tang merchants and let them stand on His Majesty’s side. “

Du Qi heard nodded, said: “Yao Shi Gong’s analysis is reasonable, so what about Second Step? “

Compared with the direct capture and slaughter, Li Jing’s method is obviously more Gaoming.

And it’s only 1st Step.

Li Jing continued: “His Majesty, the arrangement of Second Step is to arrange our people in Great Tang to promote Li Shimin’s actions throughout Great Tang. Then we will promote the news that His Majesty will not submit to humiliation. Li Shimin wants to arrest people, then His Majesty will fight back, asking for A Tooth For A Tooth Blood For Blood. “

“Only the people targeted by His Majesty, only the officials of Great Tang. As long as the officials of Great Tang, His Majesty may arrange for assassination, if you don’t want to die, you can abandon the official and leave. “

“Otherwise, His Majesty will kill. This is to inform the news first to show His Majesty’s attitude and to give them a way out, but in fact, it is also to let many people abandon their officials and leave. Because many people stop being officials in order to survive, the place will start to be turbulent. “

“In this way, it is our chance to disrupt Great Tang. In fact, if Li Shimin did not wantonly arrest the merchants of Great Xia Country and His Majesty directly targeted Li Shimin officials, it would be in an unrighteous position. “

” But now, it’s different again. His Majesty’s arrangement is revenge, and everything is triggered by Li Shimin. This step will also cause countless Great Tang officials to complain and complain that Li Shimin is acting indiscriminately and indiscriminately. “

Li Jing said: “Because these Great Tang officials, impossible to hate His Majesty, they cannot influence His Majesty, so they can only blame Li Shimin. Therefore, this is also a contest in the hearts of the people. “

Shangguan Yi heard it at the moment, and there was a look of admiration on his face.

It is indeed Li Jing.

This person’s consideration is really powerful.

The most important thing is that after this move, we gave Du Qi’s strength and showed the strength of Xia Country. If Li Shimin wants to take action again, then Xia Country’s revenge will be even greater. Strong.

The others also nodded.

The suggestions made by Li Jing are indeed more appropriate.

1st Step and Second Step, on the one hand Aiming at the businessmen in Xia Country and the officials in Great Tang on the other hand, the two-pronged approach will shake people’s hearts and even destroy Li Shimin’s image of loving the people like children.

Du Qi also has curiosity in his heart. , He asked: “Where is Third Step? “

Li Jing said: “His Majesty, in fact, the Third Step is the easiest. Notify Li Shimin and let him release all Xia Country merchants immediately and unconditionally. Otherwise, even if Xia Country exhausts all its strength, it will be irreconcilable. When the time comes, it is not as simple as for officials, but for those of the Great Tang Imperial Family, and those who are wealthy and powerful toward Small Officials, are all targets of assassination. “

“After the news spread throughout Great Tang, wealthy and powerful people from Small Officials and Imperial Family, for their own benefit, would also persuade Li Shimin. “

“Explain that under the pressure of countless people, Li Shimin can only be submissive and can only release all the merchants. “

“At this point, things are done. “

“Second Step is unnecessary. “

Li Jing said: “In this way, it doesn’t cost a single soldier or kills, but Li Shimin let everyone go. At the same time, because of this incident, Li Shimin’s reputation will inevitably be favored, and Li Shimin’s own influence will also decrease. “

“Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! “

Du Qi nodded with a smile agree.

Li Jing’s three-step plan is the best arrangement at the moment.

This is the best response .

Du Qi said solemnly: “Shangguan Yi, immediately follow Li Jing’s arrangement and order the plan. “

“Chen Zunzhi! “

Shangguan Yi immediately responded.

Du Qi turned around and said: “We have been surrounded by Li Ji during this period, but Li Ji has never taken any action. Even in the area of 鈥嬧€婫reat Tang Ch谩ng’膩n, there was no movement, which is a bit strange! Could it be that Li Ji was prepared to consume it like this. We have enough food and supplies, and our strength is enough. But Li Ji, and even Great Tang, may not be able to delay such a long time. “

Shangguan Yi said: “Li Ji’s situation is indeed a bit suspicious, but it’s not clear at the moment. Therefore, the minister believes that it is enough to respond to the changes with the unchanging, and to watch the changes temporarily. “

Lai Ji also said: “The minister also thinks that it is just a temporary guard. “

The rest of the people spoke up.

They all agree to watch the changes now, because under the current situation, the rest of Suzhou is already under sweeping. Wait until it is taken. In other places, Jiuquan County of Suzhou must be alone. Li Shimin did not act, and Li Ji did not act. Then the final result was that Li Ji fell in the city of Jiuquan County.

As soon as the matter was dealt with , Du Qi let everyone go down.

Everyone started to get busy.
