Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: One hundred and forty-three weak countries have no diplomacy
"His Royal Highness, since the minister took charge of the Ministry of Rites, he has admitted that although he has no great political achievements, he has never made a big mistake. As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, he is naturally thinking of me, and diplomatic mediation? The minister thinks that diplomatic mediation, In fact, it is because of my Da Tang’s majesty and virtue that are recognized by all countries. Just like your majesty’s entrustment of Zen, all countries will send envoys to drive, and all nations will come to me to congratulate me. This is my Da Tang’s majesty. It is the minister who is the master of the book of the Ministry of Rites." Dai Zhide looked ugly. The Ministry of Rites always pays attention to etiquette. If the Prince said, the dignified Datang Empire is not extremely rude.
Li Hong shook his head speechlessly and smiled bitterly, but the other courtiers were shocked. Dai Zhide's remarks were really tough. Although the two of them had been at odds, they were restricted by the monarch and his ministers. His Royal Highness said so, and Dai Zhide only had For the sake of listening, no matter how dissatisfied in my heart, I can't refute the prince in front of the courtiers.
"Dai Zhide, if this is your main purpose as the Book of Etiquette, I think you can resign from the post of Shangshu and return home." Li Hong squinted his eyes and stared at Dai Zhide's cheek.
"Hmph, I don't know what I did wrong as a minister of rituals. If you say that your Highness just resigned from the office because the minister ran against you just now, as a minister of Tang Dynasty, you have nothing to say." Dai To the end, this is going to be hard to the end, regardless of the pull of Li Yiyan, the next official secretary, and continue to be tough.
Li Hong smiled disapprovingly, and slowly said: "If my Datang officials are like you, let's wait for the country to be destroyed. What are you still thinking about a century-old foundation? Back then, you studied under Wang Xuance and recommended by him. Entering the dynasty, now you have half of his achievements in the position of the Ministry of Ritual?"
"His Royal Highness, the minister doesn't understand what you are talking about? As an envoy to the Western Regions, Wang Xuance naturally has and has contributed. Although the minister is less than half of him. However, the minister admits that he has never brought in someone like Luo Xuan Po! I have never confined my Datang to a predicament because of the minister’s advice!"
The courtiers in the Chamber took a deep breath. Although Wang Xuance was not guilty, everyone knows that it was because he captured a monk from the Western Regions, Luo Wei Suopo, who was eating some of his immortality. After the pill, he was poisoned and died!
Although Wang Xuance was not guilty of this incident, he has not been promoted since then and has become a forgotten person by the court.
Although Li Zhi still used Wang Xuance as an ambassador to the Western Regions after he became an envoy, Wang Xuance has already lost his style of "one person destroying one country".
What's more, Xuanzang's westward journey to learn the scriptures at that time was far more influential than Wang Xuance's "one person destroying one country". Naturally, all the limelight of Wang Xuance was robbed by Xuanzang, so now, Wang Xuance has already Several years after his death, people still have mixed opinions about him.
Li Hong still has a faint smile on his face, and a charcoal pen in his hand slid back and forth on the table, still steadily saying: "Although you have never done anything like Wang Xuance, but Now you are very much like that when Wang Xuance "one person destroys a country", when Wang Xuance borrowed soldiers from the Nimbura country, he advocated lending soldiers to Wang Xuance's servant."
Looking at the bewildered state of the ministers, Li Hong took the slender wooden stick in Xiaoxue's hand, got up from the seat, and pulled the black cloth behind him, suddenly, it was a Tang Empire that appeared in front of everyone. The huge sand table, including the topographical locations of other countries around Datang, are marked in detail.
Li Hong sneered and looked at Dai Zhide, then glanced at the officials again, and said: "At that time, Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren brought more than 30 people to Tianzhu. They were robbed halfway by A Luoshun, a small country affiliated to Tianzhu. In the end, Wang Xuance escaped alone. Then, he borrowed 7,000 soldiers from Nibula. Therefore, Wang Xuance made a remarkable achievement, that is, by relying on himself and the 7,000 soldiers and horses he borrowed, he eliminated Aro who killed 30 people including Jiang Shiren halfway. Shun a small country. But where is the Nibhara now? Dai Zhide, you have studied under Wang Xuance, do you still think it is worth supporting Korea?"
After Li Hong finished speaking, he looked at the courtiers: "History is always conservative, history is always similar, history can always give you great enlightenment in the subtleties! Dai Zhide, you strongly advocate sending troops to Korea, if we continue If we send troops to Goryeo, we will be eaten by Tianzhu and Tubo like Nibula. Nibula is now divided into two parts by Tubo and Tianzhu. Why? Because he borrowed troops from Datang officials and wiped out A Luoshun! A Luoshun is attached to Tianzhu. China, why did Tubo fight for it? That’s because Nibula destroyed the strategic balance there! Forcing the two great nations to feel crisis because of Nibula’s actions! That’s why they wanted to eliminate him! Dai Zhide, you want me to be like mud. Is it the same as Brahma?"
Li Hong threw the slender wooden stick in his hand to Xiaoxue, and sat back into his position angrily.
History is always surprisingly similar. The example he gave just now, isn't it that a few years later, Datang was overwhelmed by himself, as if it were a real situation like a mudra!
It’s just that the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and the weak Tang is not something that can be shaken by those small countries, but Anxi and Anton, who have been exchanged for their lives and blood, are not due to lack of troops in the end. Forced to give up because of inability to maintain!
Dai Zhide looked at the sand table behind him. He didn't expect that His Royal Highness would use counter-evidence to prove that his urge to send troops was wrong. This made him face the plausible evidence, and suddenly became speechless, not knowing how to refute it.
Liu Rengui also quietly stared at the sand table behind Li Hong. His keen sense of touch as a general was unmatched by others. He took a deep breath and said, "His Royal Highness, what you said is just a It belongs to the country, but now I, Datang, as the object of admiration by all nations, we are now strong and powerful, and famous players are like clouds. I don’t think it can be defeated by small areas such as Goryeo. Even if Anxi is unstable now, the minister thinks it will be a while, Datang will not have the situation you mentioned."
"How long is your one-and-a-half moments? One year? Two years? Ten years? Or eight years?" Li Hong couldn't wait for his big ears to scratch him!
How many people are holding this so-called mentality of going to the country, in the end? Look at the Wa Kingdom, which has learned too much culture from Datang. After more than a thousand years, how many helpless, heart-piercing shouts and crying have been left on this land!
Zhongshu, Pei Yan and Cen Changqian under the sect, after listening to Liu Rengui's words, also nodded involuntarily. In their hearts, as the ministers of Shangguo, especially in today's self-confident Datang era, no one would believe that Datang, which is now in its heyday, will have a crisis.
"His Royal Highness, the minister thinks what Liu Shangshu has said is extremely true. It is better to send less troops to strengthen Liu Renyuan and Sun Renshi, so that I can not lose my face in the Tang Dynasty, but also can declare my prestige in the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Wenhuan Shang Shusheng shot right, and said at this moment.
Li Hong looked at everyone and just shook his head speechlessly. If it is true as Zhang Wenhuan said, then it is no different from going back. In history, isn't it the first to send Qihe Heli, and then to send Li Ji there?
If you really follow what Zhang Wenwan said, wouldn't your tongue be in vain?
"Jinghui, tell them the situation of the grain and grass in Korea, especially the harvest of Korea in the past two years, as well as the number of soldiers in my current mansion in Datang." Li Hong rubbed his temples with a headache, and told his subordinates. Minister Jinghui said.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"After more than a year of investigations by the Ministry of Households on government soldiers across the country, as well as surveys of grain and grass in Liaodong..." Jing Hui crackled like a bamboo tube pouring beans, telling the court all the data one by one. Dear bosses, and he sent a copy of the forms in his hand to the courtiers.
After Jinghui sat down, Li Hong took the data that Yang Jiong handed over again. After taking a look, he didn’t let Yang Jiong who is not enough level here go out, but said indifferently: "Report to Them."
"Yes, Mr. Your Royal Highness." Yang Jiong faced the sitting court boss, and was nervous and didn't know how to call Li Hong, so he called out Mr. Royal in embarrassment.
Li Hong waved his hand indifferently, and said, "This is the newly introduced academic research in Chongwenguan, which calculates the future. In this way, we can figure out how long my army of Datang can cope with the two wars at the same time. This includes the number of soldiers of our Datang, the number of soldiers of all ages, and the average number of casualties in a war, so as to infer Now, our soldiers of Datang can still die in the resolutions of you courtiers, and die for a few years!"
Looking at Liu Rengui at the court, looking dumbfounded, Li Hong continued to say indifferently: "Benevolence, justice, courtesy, wisdom and faith, the virtue and prestige you think of, if there is no support from the strength of the Great Tang soldiers, your virtue, you The prestige of the country is nonsense in the eyes of others! Dai Zhide, let me tell you one thing that the Ministry of Etiquette should put on the wall, that is: a weak country has no diplomacy! If you still don’t understand, you can really resign and return. Home, you are no longer suitable to sit in the position of the Ministry of Etiquette Shangshu~IndoMTL.com~ Seeing every courtier holding the data in his hand and then studying carefully, there will be whispers from time to time, which convinced Li Hong , Perhaps these advanced calculation methods can make these courtiers lying on the halo of Shangguo more sober.
Liu Rengui looked at the data in his hand with an extremely focused expression. According to the simple and easy-to-understand numbers above, I am afraid that within three to five years, it would be extremely difficult for Datang to continue to use troops in Liaodong and Anxi at the same time.
Especially the decrease in the number of military soldiers and the death of a large number of young soldiers. The military soldiers over forty years old gradually became the main force. By that time....
Liu Rengui couldn't imagine. If these figures are true...no, these figures are indeed true. He knew better than anyone how many people died in Liaodong's battle a year.
Also, in the past few years, Goryeo has been harvesting for many years in the poor mountains and remote areas, but Datang soldiers used troops in Liaodong, and Datang has always provided food and grass by itself!
