It will cost a lot of money to attack Goryeo in autumn and winter, and it is not good in spring and summer. Spring and summer are the time when the fields are inseparable from people, and the large-scale conquest will make the food unable to keep up. There is nothing particularly suitable for war in the four seasons of the year, and there are disadvantages of one kind or another, which cost money after calculation.
If you want to save money, the best way is not to call. But this Goryeo provokes Datang's majesty again and again, just like a fly on the tail of an ox. If you say it is a great threat, it is not considered a big threat; if you say it is left alone, it is annoying. If you don't conquer it, how can you let the Quartet come to court
His Majesty Li Er still didn't want to give up, and continued to fight with Wei Zheng and others.
Li Yuanying waited left and right and waited until His Majesty Li Er issued an order to let him go to the feudal domain, and then ran to give His Majesty Li Er an idea, saying that Goryeo is so weak, and the sudden invasion of the army will scare them to death. It is better to let the royal mission Go on a mission again, go to Korea to declare an order, and give them another chance to change their ways.
Last time it was the third child who led the team, this time it should be the fourth child, let the fourth child go and tell Gao Li that if you are disobedient, next year I will hit you on time, no later than one day sooner! If you occupy the 40 cities of Silla, you will spit out 80 cities, 40 cities will be returned to Silla, and the remaining 40 cities will be kept by Datang for you. You don’t want more, and you don’t need more, so you can also Taste the pain of being occupied by forty cities! Then calculate the overall military expenses that Datang will use to dispatch the army and ask them to pay back, not a penny less, and they can pay in installments if they don't pay.
In order to go to the land fiefdom, Li Yuanying tried his best to figure out the military budget. His Majesty Li Er was terrified when he saw it. This kid is really shameless. He actually counted the losses caused by no one in the land. Why? Don't count "if this person raises a pig at home and sells a big pig for the New Year"? !
Li Yuanying still felt that he was quite reasonable. Isn't this all the loss caused by beating Korea? Since it is going to be fought, it must be blamed on Gao Li and let him pay it back! You can't just surrender and admit defeat, you must pay back the money at least a penny!
Li Yuanying said: "I heard from Lao Li that Goryeo is shameless. If you say surrender, you will surrender. You have no backbone at all, and you will continue to do bad things when you turn around. We must first explain the matter to him clearly and let them know that if they lose, they will have to pay. Whatever the price, fight a clear battle!"
His Majesty Li Er felt that the most shameless kid in the world was Li Yuanying, but he even plausibly said that he was shameless! He accepted the notes written by Li Yuanying and asked Li Yuanying to go back first, he had to discuss with other people.
As soon as Li Yuanying left, His Majesty Li Er asked Wei Zheng and the others to come over and show them the notes written by Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying has put in a lot of effort in order to get a conclusion on the conquest of Korea early. He has spent the past few days collecting information and calculating data with his friends. It is indeed Koryo who should pay.
If people are asked to pay so much money and cut off so many cities for no reason, it will make people poke their backs, but if they first send an envoy to give them a choice, let them decide whether to listen or not, which means that they have violated the will of the Tang Dynasty Isn't it justifiable to bear the consequences? They chose it themselves!
Wei Zheng read Li Yuanying's detailed and well-founded "Military Budget" with a dull face, and felt that Li Yuanying's handling of the harm of the war was quite thorough. Why didn't he use this to persuade His Majesty Li Er not to fight, but to persuade His Majesty Li Er to come back next year? beat? A bastard boy!
The monarchs and ministers sat down to discuss it, and they all felt that it was a good suggestion to draw a road in advance. Since they want to fight, they should not fight in vain, at least not to make the court suffer. It's Goryo's fault, of course Goryo has to pay the money!
As for the forty cities, Datang naturally sent people to help them take care of them. If they performed well, they could consider returning them, and if they performed poorly, forget it!
This is the candidate for the emissary. Changsun Wuji and others felt that Li Tai was not suitable. After all, Li Tai was the son of His Majesty Li Er and Changsun Wuji. What should I do if I attack Li Tai
Regardless of His Majesty Li Er's confinement of Li Tai in the fief to prevent him from returning to the capital, Li Tai is really going to have an accident, and those who did not prevent His Majesty Li Er from choosing him as an envoy will definitely be marked by His Majesty Li Er.
Changsun Wuji also suggested: "In my opinion, whoever comes up with the idea is the most suitable."
Wei Zheng moved his mouth again and again, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He couldn't object to this matter. If he objected, wouldn't it be true that Li Yuanying was cheating Li Tai. He knew that Li Yuanying definitely didn't mean that. After all, if His Majesty Li Er really asked Li Yuanying to go to Korea, Li Yuanying would be so happy that he would jump into the sky!
His Majesty Li Er looked around and saw that no one refuted Changsun Wuji's words. He felt that his younger brother was really unpopular in the court, and he didn't even have anyone to speak for him. The grandfather of his princess was still Wei Zheng, who raised his eyebrows all day long With a fierce look on his face! He made a final decision: "Let Qing Que be the chief envoy and Ma Zhou be the deputy envoy, and set off for Goryeo on a certain day."
After the decision was made, His Majesty Li Er asked Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang to draw up the letter of credence, following Li Yuanying's booklet, but with more beautiful sentences and more tactful wording. In essence, it is still so shameless.
The expressions on the faces of Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang were indescribable.
In any case, the tug-of-war between the DPRK and China has finally come to an end. Li Yuanying learned from Wei Zheng that Changsun Wuji had proposed to let him go to Korea, so he ran to ask His Majesty Li Er why he refused to agree. If he had known that he could go, he would have nominated himself!
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows: "Do you still dare to go to Korea?" If someone reveals who wrote this idea, Li Yuanying will not even think about coming back. People in Korea may think that they will be beaten by the Tang Dynasty anyway, so they simply go first. Kill him!
Li Yuanying said: "Why don't you dare? If they don't do bad things first, how can Datang beat them? Brother Huang, you have already said that our Datang is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness! I will settle accounts with them, how dare they dare?" Can't do anything to me? Don't even look at whose brother I am!"
His Majesty Li Er was very helpful to this. Of course, what should be hit still has to be hit. He looked at Li Yuanying and said, "Don't even think about going on an envoy."
Li Yuanying has the ability to spoil his ideas with just one mouth, His Majesty Li Er is really worried that he will run out, and he is quite afraid that he will be killed if he is not paying attention. After all, it's not that no one knows what ideas he has put forward, at least Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling know, and they don't seem to like Li Yuanying that much.
Li Yuanying knew that it would be useless to go on an envoy, and he was not disappointed to hear His Majesty Li Er said so, so he secretly proposed the matter of going to the fiefdom.
Ever since Li Yuanying came back from Taiyuan, no matter what the topic was, he could find ways to get around Jiufan. His Majesty Li Er heard him mention it again with a shy face, with a calm face, he didn't say yes or no, he just asked him to go back first.
After a while, Li Yuanying received grapes and Chang Chu from Hu County. He taught people to grow grapes. Some of them have already borne fruit, and some are still growing. They are all well taken care of. No, someone sent it to him for him to try it out!
In fact, someone brought the watermelon when it was ripe, but Li Yuanying was in Taiyuan at that time and didn't eat it.
As for Chang Chu, it was originally a wild fruit in Zhongnan Mountain. Later, everyone found it delicious, so they circled it up and kept it as their own. The system told him that this food is actually kiwi fruit, which is very nutritious, and eating some in season is good for your health. Li Yuanying asked someone to cut it out for him to taste, the sweet and sour taste was quite good, so he took it to present Liu Baolin as a treasure.
The weather is a bit hot these days, Liu Baolin made Changchu cheese for him according to the method of cherry cheese, poured some caramel juice and fresh goat's milk on the cut Changchu fruit, and then put it in the ice to freeze it, took it out and tasted it After a bit, the taste is very good, and the taste is better than eating it now, so I asked someone to take it to satisfy Li Yuanying's hunger.
Li Yuanying ate the Changchu ice cream made for him by Liu Baolin, and felt refreshed, feeling that the day was extremely beautiful.
At this time Li Tai also returned to Chang'an.
This is Li Tai's first return to Chang'an after he became a feudal clan. Along the way, Li Tai was suffocating all the time, and really wanted to ask Li Yuanying clearly: How can I let me go? I won't call you Uncle Yao anymore, can I call you Ancestor? !
But when he arrived in Chang'an, the anger in Li Tai's heart suddenly disappeared.
If his father didn't want him to go, it would be useless for Li Yuanying to say anything, after all, this was what his father meant. Whether it is good or bad, whether it is high or low, is actually a matter of his father's will. It is really meaningless to catch Li Yuanying and hate him. As for the father, that is not something he can hate.
Li Tai received the order in a regular manner, prepared in a regular manner, and basically had no contact with anyone except for occasions where he had to attend. His Majesty Li Er didn't see this son for more than two years, felt that he was thinner and depressed, and felt a little heartbroken, so he asked him to have a conversation, but the intimacy between father and son was gone after all.
Li Chengqian was very worried when he heard that Li Tai was back, but when he found out that Li Tai was left behind by His Majesty Li Er, he was even more worried that His Majesty Li Er would lift Li Tai up again because of Li Tai's coquettish behavior. He has experienced this kind of thing too many times before, so he can't help but think about it.
Just when Li Chengqian was restless, Helan Chushi came over and said that Hou Junji wanted to meet him.
Li Chengqian had no contact with Hou Junji, but Helan Chushi was someone close to him and Hou Junji's son-in-law. After thinking about it, he asked Helan Chushi to bring Hou Junji to the East Palace.
Hou Junji came to follow Li Chengqian's example, but he was suppressed and had nothing to do, so he wanted to go through the East Palace's door. Don't look at him in the Lingyan Pavilion, in fact, he is just a wealthy idler with no real power, how can he live contentedly with such a life
Hou Junji raised his hands to Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, do you think I can still use my hands? If Your Highness can use them, I will only rely on His Highness's orders!"
Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat. He calmed down and persuaded Hou Junji, saying that the imperial court's conquest of Korea in the coming year would definitely have a use for these hands.
Seeing that Li Chengqian only talked about the imperial court and nothing else, Hou Junji felt a little disappointed. If he didn't have his own opportunity, how could he come to serve Li Chengqian? When he followed His Majesty Li Er to conquer the world, Li Chengqian was still a brat, and now he is not much better!
Originally thought that Dong Gong was of no use in the army, Li Chengqian would be enthusiastic as long as he revealed his intention to serve him, but he never thought that Li Chengqian would not even make a gesture of wooing him.
Hou Junji couldn't keep his face down and say something else. Thinking of Li Tai's return to Beijing, he said another thing: "I heard that King Wei didn't come to see His Highness after returning to Beijing? You really have no brother!"
Li Chengqian said: "Qing Que has important business to return to Beijing this time. Since I have met her, there is no need to pay another visit."
Hou Junji pointedly said: "This 'important task' was requested by King Teng on his behalf."
Hou Junji couldn't understand Li Yuanying, but since Li Yuanying came to prison to persuade him to confess, he paid more attention to Li Yuanying. After several years of observation, Hou Junji found that whether it was intentional or just luck, Li Yuanying seemed to act in a disorderly manner, but actually stepped on the safety line very skillfully every time.
Since he failed to serve in the East Palace, Hou Junji wanted to bury a thorn in Li Chengqian's heart, and make Li Chengqian be vigilant against Li Yuanying, an evil guy.
This kid has a lot of opportunities all day long, he does everything as if he is playing, but His Majesty Li Er is used to him, and Li Chengqian is getting close to him again, which is really an eyesore!
Li Chengqian politely sent Hou Junji away, thinking that Hou Junji had finally mentioned Li Yuanying, his mood unexpectedly settled down miraculously.
That's right, this matter was suggested by Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying will never harm him. What is he worried about? What's more, Qingque is not the same Qingque now, even if he still has ideas about the East Palace position, no one will bet heavily on him anymore.
Li Chengqian suddenly became enlightened, and diligently followed His Majesty Li Er every day to learn how to deal with government affairs. Seeing that Li Tai could also pose as a good brother, he asked about the current situation of his nephews, and asked him if he had hired a famous teacher. If you arrive, you can call someone from the Hongwen Museum. Uncle Yao said that a good teacher is very important, and you must choose the right person to enlighten your nephews.
Li Tai was really disgusted by Li Chengqian's good brother and good uncle, and just wanted to go out as soon as possible!
This guy probably learned from Li Yuanying, right? !
Otherwise, one or both of them would care about his son!
His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied with this, and felt that Cheng Qian finally looked like an older brother. Even if there is some rift between the brothers, it doesn't have to continue to the next generation. Let the children get together and live together, and the relationship between the two families will naturally come back, which is another kind of harmony and perfection.
His Majesty Li Er was so happy that he finally drew up the will for Li Yuanying to become a vassal.
It's just that this decree was sent to the Ministry of Education, and Fang Xuanling and others were blown up, and they joined hands with His Majesty Li Er to raise objections!
The author has something to say:
Hou Junji: Your Highness, it was Prince Teng who brought Li Tai back!
Eldest nephew: That's right, it turned out to be from Uncle Yao, so I'm relieved.
Hou Junji:? ? ? ?
Some people say that going to the fief is the end! Why go to the fief and it's over! impossible! The little prince is only fourteen years old! I didn't go to many places, so why did it end! Does it sound like it's about to end? qaq Tiantianchun is frightened, and needs everyone to pour nutrients and hydraulic pressure to suppress the fright! (Hey)
Note: Hou Junji did say to Chengqian, "This is a good player, you should use it" and then the two conspired to rebel. The things recorded by the ancients are really interesting. For example, Emperor Sui Yang looked at himself in the mirror when he fled, and sighed in great pain: "I don't know who will cut off this great head in the future!" There is a trace of narcissism in the sadness! (Do not
