After hearing His Majesty's inquiry, everyone began to whisper again.
At this moment, the clan members came forward and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I feel that these Turkic children are a scourge to the Tang Dynasty.
The people of the Central Plains, whether in the Sui Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty.
This group of Turkic children come to rob us every autumn and winter. They rob our Central Plains people and our food.
In addition, in other seasons, we also go south to enjoy the autumn breeze.
We, the people of the world, have suffered from the Turks for a long time.
Since we have won the battle, we should kill these Turks and bring justice to the people of the world."
After that man finished speaking, the rest of the people began to murmur softly.
It would be okay to kill the Turks directly.
This statement makes sense, these Turks are very hateful.
How many times have you violated my Central Plains?
Even more people from my Central Plains were plundered.
Not to mention anything else, even if it is for the sake of my people in the world, his Turkic son is the chief culprit.
Kill them directly to comfort the innocent people in the Central Plains who were harmed by them.
If I wait for a reconsideration, if I wait for a reconsideration, I should kill this Turk directly.
When Li Er heard this, he felt doubtful.
I actually didn't understand for a while, what did this suggestion from these clans mean?
Why did their thoughts this time actually coincide with my own thoughts?
He is a decisive and decisive monarch, so since he is an enemy, he should be eliminated directly.
More importantly, because of the Turkic child, I signed the most shameful covenant in my life.
The impact of this covenant was even worse than that of the Xuanwumen mutiny.
The Xuanwu Gate mutiny back then was, in the final analysis, just an interest group on both sides, trying to gain their own interests.
What can the world say about the methods I have adopted?
But it was shameful for me to sign the covenant under the city.
After that, he prepared his army for war and practiced day and night, hoping that one day he could fight back.
Now things are just as Li Er thought, the Tang Dynasty won, and this Turkic boy became a prisoner.
You can settle old and new grudges together and kill him to relieve the hatred in your heart.
After hearing what they said, Li Er nodded with satisfaction.
This is exactly what he thought.
Of course, what these clan members think in their hearts is different from what the emperor wants, and their purpose is different.
The Turkic tribes to their east had surrendered.
The Turkic tribes in the east and the Turkic tribes in the west were previously led by Jieli Khan.
But now if the Tang Dynasty kills their leader, the surrendering Turkic tribes in the east will definitely feel grudge and even be wary.
By that time, whenever there was trouble in the Tang Dynasty, the Turks would be in turmoil.
By then, the possibility of war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will greatly increase.
The court will focus its attention on the northern Turks here, and will send a large number of troops to garrison there.
In this way, the consumption here will be greatly increased.
This can create trouble for the court and increase their right to speak.
This was what they were thinking in their hearts, but they didn't expect that their idea would actually mean something else in the eyes of the emperor.
But that's fine, since the final intention of both parties is the same, it will be more convenient to deal with these matters.
Then he got off the slope again and continued to speak.
"Your Majesty, if we kill the Turks, all the people in the world will be grateful to Your Majesty.
Everyone will support His Majesty’s actions.”
Then he talked about some of his so-called opinions.
Nowadays, many people in the world have migrated from the north.
In the process of going south, who didn't have three or five relatives and friends who died under the sword of the Turks?
Now that the Turks have been wiped out and the culprits of the Turks have been killed, how happy are the people to hear that?
Every word you say is for the common people, and your inner thoughts must not be known to others.
Hearing this, Li Er nodded with satisfaction.
He stood up and glanced at the others.
"My dear friends, do you have any other ideas?"
Upon hearing His Majesty's inquiry, the other ministers murmured in low voices.
At this moment, several of Li Er's confidants who were standing below stood up one after another.
"Your Majesty, I think it is not necessary to hurt the life of the Turkic child.
Killing that Turkic child was just a matter of a word from His Majesty.
But Wei Chen feels that after killing him, the subsequent impact will be more harmful than beneficial to Datang."
Um?
How to say this, please explain in detail.
Li Er's face looked a little unhappy. Why didn't they realize this time that he wanted to kill people directly?
"Your Majesty, as Wei Chen said, killing the Turkic child is just a matter of your Majesty's words, with the sword raised and dropped.
If it were normal, just kill them directly to avoid future troubles.
But your Majesty, please don't forget that the Turkic tribes in the east have surrendered.
The Turkic tribes in the east and the Turkic tribes in the west jointly worshiped Jieli Khan as their leader.
If His Majesty had not accepted the surrender of the Turkic tribes in the east.
All we, the soldiers, can do is completely wipe out all of them.
Now that we have accepted the surrender of the Turkic tribes in the east, it means that the Turks in the east must have more than 100,000 soldiers.
Those more than 100,000 soldiers surrendered only because of the powerful force of the Tang Dynasty.
If they find out, we will kill their leader.
If this news reaches the Turks, there will definitely be a gap in their hearts.
Even if the Tang Dynasty really surrenders to me, I'm afraid it's not sincere.
When given the opportunity, he will definitely rebel against me, the Tang Dynasty.
By then, the Tang Dynasty will have to send a large number of soldiers to fight.
This time we have the right time, place, and right people for our expedition. If we didn't have this kind of conditions, we would have the right time.
As we enter the Turkic War, more soldiers will be injured.
Therefore, instead of doing this, it is better to release this Turkic man, let him stay in Chang'an City, and give him an official position.
Let him stay in Chang'an City, which is considered to be under house arrest.
In this way, it can be said to the people of the world that this Turk has been captured alive.
Regarding the Turks in the north, we can also say that their khan was not executed.
Let them know the benevolence and righteousness of my Tang Dynasty."
When these words came, Li Er could not help but whisper again, this, this?
After their analysis, Li Er thought about it.
This is really what happened unless I gave the order.
Let Li Jing lead the army and wipe out the Turks in the east.
But since he had agreed to surrender to the Turkic tribes in the east, the Turkic tribes in the east had been staying on the sidelines, unmoved, and had not done anything beyond their reach.
As the king of a country, such a big man cannot go back on his words, right?
Thinking of this, I felt a little regretful for a moment. I shouldn't have accepted the surrender of the Turkic tribes in the east at that time.
You should listen to your wise brother's advice and destroy them all at once.
It won't leave such a very embarrassing situation.
When he looked up at the children of their clan, he couldn't believe that these people had not thought of this idea.
But they wanted to dissuade him from executing the beheading.
They want to keep the northern border in turmoil, which is in the interest of their clan.
I really didn't expect that these people would really take advantage of the loopholes, and when I was unprepared, they almost caused trouble again.
Thinking of this, I snorted in my heart!
"My dear friends, do you think this is killing or not killing?"
"Your Majesty, although I think what they said is very right, killing them will definitely make the Turkic tribes who surrendered feel grudge.
But if Your Majesty doesn't kill them, won't the Turkic tribes feel grudge against them?
This time we, the Tang Dynasty, destroyed countless Turks because if the Turks in the east surrendered, they would be at peace with our country, the Tang Dynasty.
The surrender at this moment is nothing but because of the great strength of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as the strength of the Tang Dynasty is weak, these Turks will definitely continue to block the south and carry out conquests.
Therefore, Your Majesty destroyed them to avoid future troubles and to let them know the cost of resisting our country, the Tang Dynasty."
