Chapter 22 Give the old men a good lesson

"Father, actually what the son minister means..."

"Okay, go back. No matter what you see or hear here, you are not allowed to spread it."

go back……?

Li Chengqian's eyes widened with shock, his face was full of shock: "Father, you are going to kill the donkey!"

I'll kill you uncle!

Oh, his uncle was really killed by himself.

Li Shimin was so angry that he rolled his eyes around. The prince was good at everything, but he was unacceptable to his mistakes from time to time.

"Your Highness doesn't mean you're talking nonsense, and you won't admit your mistakes to Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji's face turned pale. His nephew was so brave that he had a hairy hair. If he dared to talk to him like this, he wouldn't be afraid that the position of prince would be deposed.

Li Chengqian stubbornly said, "What's wrong with me? It was clearly what my father asked me to say just now, but I said half of it, but I didn't let me say it anymore."

"You..." Li Shimin was so angry that he pointed at Li Chengqian: "Okay, I asked you to tell me that if you don't tell me about the coming of Ziwu and Yin and Mao today, you will be ready to stay in Xichiyuan for the rest of your life."

broken!

Changsun Wuji was anxious and said that his eldest nephew really made his brother-in-law angry, otherwise how could he make such an order that was almost equivalent to a circle of bans?

This is completely finished.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng were also shocked. They had seen him who were dying, but this was the first time they had seen him who were as good as Li Chengqian, who was as good as Li Chengqian, who lived at such an age.

Even Hou Junji, who didn't like Li Chengqian, felt a little pity for him now. What kind of evil did he commit in his previous life? Why did he love to commit suicide?

There were more than ten officials in the imperial study room, but none of them were optimistic about Li Chengqian, and none of them spoke for him.

They don’t know Li Chengqian, but they know Li Shimin. They know that the more they persuade him at this time, the more fuel they add to the fire. They don’t want the prince to be deposed. The best way is to shut up collectively.

Everyone stopped talking, and more than ten pairs of eyes stared at Li Chengqian so anxiously, which made the prince instantly feel like he was going back to the past and teaching and research classes in front of a bunch of school leaders.

However, the principal was replaced by the emperor and the colleagues were replaced by civil officials and military generals. In essence, there was no big difference.

With a light cough, everyone's attention was filled. Li Chengqian put his hand behind him: "Father, uncles, I just briefly explained what war is, and you have discussed it just now. Now, I want to talk about the purpose of war.

What is the purpose of war? Is it just to kill all the enemies?

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han hundreds of years ago, the Han Dynasty launched countless wars, and the Han army was once so powerful that it crisscrossed the entire grassland, which made countless barbarians dare not look at it directly.

But did the Han Dynasty really win? Emperor Wu of Han's army won almost every war, but what was the result? The treasury consumed a country, the national strength declined, and the powerful Han Dynasty never recovered from then on."

Li Chengqian paused for a moment when he said this, giving everyone sitting some time to think.

As a former excellent teacher, keeping students in a state of thinking anytime and anywhere has almost become his instinct.

"Your Highness meant that Emperor Wu of Han was wrong? But the Huns at that time were far more arrogant than the Turks today. If they were not afraid of killing them, how could the Han Dynasty develop steadily?"

The question raised this time was Li Jing. This old man had been fighting all his life and had basically never lost any wars. He was known as the God of War in later generations.

Moreover, Li Jing did not have any prejudice when asking the question. It can be seen that he really wanted to know the answer to this question.

At the same time, Li Shimin and others were also waiting quietly, and they also wanted to know.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian nodded slightly: "Li Shangshu asked this question well. Did Emperor Wu of Han do something wrong? I want to say that he is not wrong, but he is wrong again. From the perspective of resisting foreign invasions, Emperor Wu of Han did not do something wrong. He fulfilled his responsibilities as an emperor.

However, his mistake was that he did not understand the purpose of those wars. Wars were the continuation of politics. We must remember that launching a war must have its own purpose, whether it is a political purpose, economic purpose, or military purpose. A war without purpose is just a killing and has no use except for consuming national strength.

Now, our Tang Dynasty is facing the same problem as Emperor Wu of Han - the Turks.

We should not forget the past and the next one. We cannot continue to follow the old path of Emperor Wu of Han, and we should be able to use our national strength by expending military and militarily.

When fighting against the Turks, we must know why we fight, how far we fight, and what goals we achieve.

To give the simplest example, the cattle and sheep we seized from the Turks were basically allocated to soldiers with military achievements. I think this is wrong. It is a waste of resources. It seems to save a lot of military expenditure. In fact, if these cattle are distributed to the prefectures below, rent them to the people to reclaim farmland and then use grain to compensate the rent for the rent.

There are also those sheep that can produce milk. Why don’t we concentrate these sheep and breed them, and pick out varieties with high milk production and raise them?

Goat milk can be used as military rations after processing, and wool can be used as felt to protect the cold. These are all money, so why can’t you see it?

Also, how did we deal with the territory we captured in the Turkic areas in the past? I felt that it was useless and I just lost it.

I just can’t understand why not choose a tribe close to us from the grassland tribe and allocate it to them? Wouldn’t it be better to let them serve as the barrier to the north of the Tang Dynasty?

Oh by the way, don’t always think about fighting and killing all day long. You should have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering. The Turkic tribes are not a single piece.

Isn’t Jie Li the kind of person who can do everything in one bowl? Is it difficult to choose a tribe that feels unfairly treated? There are so many caravans smuggled at the border, is it difficult to choose one to sell some weapons for them? Isn’t it good to reap the benefits of fishermen?

Wake up, everyone, fighting and killing is just killing, not war.”

The more Li Chengqian talked, the more excited he became, and the old guys were stunned and dumbfounded.

For a moment, the Turkic journey south seemed less important. Jie Li's son could just let the Tang Dynasty take a breath and get inspired to let go of his hands and feet. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others could kill him with one hand.

His Majesty the great emperor changed his previous anger, patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and laughed loudly, whispering to my Qilin Son.

Li Chengqian looked disgusted, but he couldn't say anything.

The promised reward is, if you get such a great benefit, it would be too much to give a reward of one hundred million yuan.
