After hearing what Li Yuanke said, Li Tianmin and Empress Changsun also frowned.
In the past, several princes had to first quell the internal strife and then deal with foreign enemies.
Or unite internally to fight against external enemies.
As a result, when we arrived at Li Yuanke's place, it was better to appease the foreign enemies first and then deal with the rebellion.
It sounds like a solution.
But he ignored the most important point.
integrity!
A dynasty, especially a unified dynasty like the Tang Dynasty, must have integrity when facing foreign enemies.
You can fight!
You can also negotiate peace!
But never grovel!
Even surrender!
Li Yuanke's statement has obviously lost its integrity.
To please foreign enemies, you have to pay some price.
This is really detrimental to moral integrity.
Almost any person with any sense of integrity would not tolerate such a thing happening.
I'd rather die standing!
I will never give birth on my knees!
Common people still have this moral integrity.
The prince of a great country has such thoughts.
It's really puzzling.
"Fifth Prince, which one do you think is more serious, foreign enemies or internal troubles?"
Ye Qingyun asked again.
Li Yuanke didn't seem to notice the expressions on his father, the emperor's and his mother's faces, and continued, "Of course it's an internal trouble."
"Oh? Why?"
"Although foreign enemies are strong, they only want resources and territory. If necessary, cede some territory and give them some resources, and they will be satisfied."
"But internal trouble is not the case. What the rebellious ministers and traitors want to do is to overthrow our country, the Tang Dynasty. How can this be tolerated?"
"So in my opinion, internal troubles are greater than external enemies!"
After Li Yuanke finished speaking, he still showed a righteous look, and he felt even more complacent.
In his opinion, Ye Qingyun asked him one more question, which meant that Ye Qingyun was more optimistic about himself.
Perhaps the position of prince will fall into my hands, Li Yuanke.
"Asshole
West!"
Unexpectedly, Li Tianmin scolded him directly.
Li Yuanke was stunned.
He looked at Li Tianmin in astonishment.
"Father, me"
"You bastard, get out of here!"
Li Tianmin didn't want to hear what he said, just tell him to get lost.
Li Yuanke's face suddenly fell.
He knew he was definitely out of luck.
Looking at the other princes, the second prince and the third prince were all sneering.
The fourth prince looked as normal and showed no sign of ridicule.
As for the youngest prince, he was chewing his fingers and playing with them.
While chewing, he was still giggling.
"Oh, Mr. Ye, I made you laugh."
Li Tianmin sighed, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Empress Changsun also looked embarrassed.
Ye Qingyun waved his hand.
Didn't care.
The nine sons of the dragon are all different.
Even in the homes of ordinary people, there will be a few sons who have no future.
Not to mention the royal family.
It’s not surprising that there are a few naughty ones.
The fifth prince Li Yuanke has gone out, and the remaining princes will naturally continue to take school exams.
In Ye Qingyun's heart, he had a better impression of the Fourth Prince Li Yuanxiu.
At least Li Yuanxiu's ideas are more consistent with Ye Qingyun's own ideas.
"Your Majesty, let this little prince play."
Ye Qingyun glanced at the sixth prince who had begun to crawl on the ground and couldn't help but say.
"Haha, it's funny. It's funny."
Li Tianmin quickly winked, and a maid behind Empress Changsun immediately took the little prince away.
The remaining three princes still stood respectfully in front of Ye Qingyun.
"Three princes, second question."
Ye Qingyun cleared his throat.
The three princes all looked solemn.
Don't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"If several princes are on the throne, but the civil and military ministers are at odds with each other, how should the princes handle the relationship between the civil and military ministers?"
This question is also very tricky.
And very practical.
Even Li Tianmin couldn't help but think deeply after hearing this question.
Civil and military discord.
This is something that no dynasty can avoid.
After all, civil and military officials have different ideas and different ways of doing things. If they are in the same court, it is difficult for them to avoid conflicts.
It’s not scary to have conflicts.
The most difficult thing is how to handle the relationship between civil and military ministers.
It is not good to lean towards either side.
But if you try to neutralize the mud, it will only gradually intensify the conflict.
There will eventually be a day when it breaks out.
Once this conflict completely breaks out, it will not be a civil and military discord, but a collapse of the court and the disintegration of the dynasty.
This is definitely no small matter.
