Chu Suiliang's gentle policy aroused Wei Zheng's dissatisfaction. However, before Wei Zheng could speak this time, Fang Xuanling came out and said: "When there was Wei in the Jin Dynasty, the Hu tribes were separated in nearby counties. Jiang Tong persuaded them to be expelled outside the wall, and Emperor Wu did not use it. He said that a few years later, the army was forced to retreat to Luo. The previous generation overturned the chariot, and Yin Jian was not far away. Your Majesty will use Chu Suiliang's words to send all the Turkic tribes to Henan. It is said that raising animals will lead to trouble."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ignored Jiang Tong's advice and insisted on separating the Hu tribes into counties near the capital. A few years later, there was a great chaos in Xian and Luo, and they were captured by the Hu people. Xian and Luo are both place names, and they are both in Henan. Today, How similar is the situation?
That’s why he said, “The previous generation’s overthrow is not far away, and lessons are not far away”…
Chu Suiliang looked gloomy.
He and Fang Xuanling had known each other for a long time, and they were very close at first. However, in the tenth year of Zhenguan, when Chu Suiliang was appointed as the living minister who specialized in recording the emperor's words and deeds, Fang Xuanling thought that he was "sensitive and understanding in nature, but weak in character and incompetent." "Perseverance and Perseverance", which means that he is not firm in character. Although he has vision and ability, he cannot stick to his opinions to the end and can easily become a loser...
Since then, the estrangement between the two has become increasingly deep.
When His Majesty Li Er convened several prime ministers for internal deliberations just now, he had clearly stated his views, which is exactly what Chu Suiliang is saying now.
However, during the discussion, Fang Xuanling said nothing and did not express any objection. Now he refuted his words in front of the court. In Chu Suiliang's view, Fang Xuanling was deliberately targeting him.
Otherwise, why didn't you stand up and clearly express your opposition when His Majesty said so?
He didn't think that Fang Xuanling didn't dare to speak out and remonstrate directly...
With fire in his heart, Chu Suiliang said again: "I heard that the sage's way is all-encompassing. The remaining souls of the Turks have given their lives to me. They have taken them to the interior, taught them etiquette and law, selected their chiefs, and sent them to live in the guard, fearing the power. Why should we be so troubled by virtue? Qi Guangwu lived in Shanyu, Henan Province, in Nei County, thinking that Han vassal Han was the last generation and there was no rebellion."
Seeing that Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling had expressionless faces and were obviously not shaken, while His Majesty Li Er looked pleased, he continued: "Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty worked hard on his troops and horses, spent money on warehouses, established a khan, and ordered his country to be restored. Later, he was so kind. He broke his promise and besieged Emperor Yang at Yanmen. Now your majesty is kind and kind, and you will do whatever you want in Henan and Hebei. You can live in Henan and Hebei as you please. Each has its own chief, but they are not subordinate to each other. Your strength is scattered and your power is divided. How can you do any harm?"
In fact, in Chu Sui's conscience, he didn't care about how to deal with the Turkic tribes.
All he cares about is whether he can follow in the footsteps of His Majesty Li Er, and at the same time, he is not considered to be "fascinating" by the outside world. That would be perfect. As for whether the Turks are dead or alive, what does it have to do with him?
To put it bluntly, he is just speculating politically...
These words he said truly spoke to His Majesty Li Er's heart.
When His Majesty Li Er thought about it, he wanted to drive the Turks away and attack them separately. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and even Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had done this before. He has done it now, so there is nothing strange about it.
However, just like what he said in the ninth year of Zhenguan, "Since the Zhou and Qin dynasties, there have been invasions from neighboring nations. Now that the surrounding nations have surrendered, it means that from the perspective of Huairou and distant people, I have surpassed the ancients again." He believed that this was the glory that surpassed all previous emperors!
The various Turkic tribes within are becoming increasingly restless?
This is nothing!
Just like what Chu Suiliang said: He can live in Henan and Hebei as he pleases, each with his own chief, but they are not subordinate to each other. The strength is scattered and the power is divided. How can it be harmed?
However, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Li Ji submitted a memorial requesting that the matter be discussed, and the words should not be ignored. His Majesty Li Er summoned several important ministers to discuss the matter. However, the opinions were conflicting and the situation was deadlocked, so he had no choice but to convene a court meeting.
To put it into detail, as an emperor, His Majesty Li Er actually has many shortcomings.
Ouyang Xiu said of him: "He is involved in many loves, re-establishes pagodas, loves great achievements, and is diligent in fighting at a distance. This is what mediocre people often do."
Wen Tianxiang said of him: "Taizong didn't know the shame of his boudoir and the praise of his generals and prime ministers. In the last years of his journey to Liaodong, he could not overcome his bloody violence and his heart was arrogant."
…
Historians in the past dynasties have basically nothing good to say about him, but they all talk about his personal moral character, and most of them hold a positive attitude towards his achievements.
All in all, "What a great success" is the most important one.
That's why His Majesty Li Er brags about his achievements like this.
As for killing brothers, forcing fathers to abdicate, bringing brothers' wives and concubines into the harem, etc., these are just private moral issues and have no impact on the development of the country...
If it is as Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling said, doesn't it mean that the original move of the Hu tribe to Guanzhong and Henan was a wrong policy? It is simply a shame! This is absolutely unbearable for His Majesty Li Er, who is extremely famous.
The pros and cons are in a stalemate and cannot convince anyone, but it is obvious that Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others have a slight upper hand in support rates.
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er felt that he could not continue to be entangled like this, otherwise most of the officials supported Wei Zheng, so Fang Xuanling would block him back and slap him in the face?
As for whether the Turks will really break into chaos, His Majesty Li Er thinks that is not a big deal and can just send troops to annihilate it...
We can beat them on the grassland, but what can we do in our own territory?
What a joke!
His Majesty Li Er coughed dryly, attracted the attention of the courtiers, and said with final words: "From Youzhou to Lingzhou, set up Shun, You, Hua, and the governor's offices of the four states to deal with them. After the Turkic forces were defeated, all the tribes When the leaders come to surrender, they will all pay homage to the generals and lieutenants, and organize the imperial court, which is almost equal to the officials of the imperial court. If the extension cannot be achieved, they will be sent to comfort them."
After saying this, he stared at the courtiers with stern eyes, with a strong sense of "whoever dares to object, I will make him look good".
Fang Xuanling's heart sank, and she looked at Wei Zheng, then looked at the expressionless Li Ji, and finally sighed softly and said no more.
But the words of the second son suddenly came to mind: Why don't you resign, go home, take care of your family, and do some learning...
Now that the world is at peace and the barbarians are subdued, even if Gaochang and the like are occasionally impressive, they are just clowns and not enough to cause trouble.
Ordinarily, this is the best era for officials who care about the people. There is a relaxed external environment, so they can show their talents and manage the prosperity of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers so that thousands of people can have food and clothing. , be nourished and create an unprecedented grand and prosperous age!
However, Fang Xuanling discovered that His Majesty Li Er's mentality had changed...
Just as Wei Zheng said in "Bu Ke Ends Ten Gradually Shu", he is no longer the wise and wise king who worked hard and ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness when he came to the throne. Although he is far from being "foolish", he insists on going his own way and is very happy to achieve success. , but it made Fang Xuanling very cold-hearted.
Now, he finds it difficult to keep his ideas consistent with His Majesty Li Er...
Seeing the silence of the ministers, His Majesty Li Er was vaguely arrogant. He sat upright with an air of dignity. He scanned the ministers with sharp eyes like a falcon and said one by one: "I love you, do you think so?"
Just as he said this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly shrank his eyes...
Fang Jun ignores the controversies in the court. It is a bit far away for him. The time traveler can coax people into national affairs, or even change national policies with just a word?
What nonsense...
It was really boring to listen to it like this, and I felt sleepy, so I dozed off.
Because he was sitting on his knees on the mattress, this was a long-trained etiquette for others and was not taken seriously, but for Fang Jun, it was an extremely uncomfortable thing. After sitting for a while, he felt that the blood in his legs was gradually blocked. , the calf and stomach are slightly swollen.
I had no choice but to lean my upper body forward slightly to reduce the pressure on my legs.
In addition, I was so sleepy that my upper body unconsciously leaned out of the covering pillar beside me, and I dozed off, my head moving little by little, as if to express my approval...
The old man Tang Jianzheng is closing his eyes and concentrating. Such a court meeting cannot be attended without him. He is old enough, but his coming is the same as not coming. He never expresses his opinion. I will do whatever you say...
Closer than Changsun Wuji or Fang Xuanling?
Harder than bones, better than Wei Zheng?
Comparing talent to Ma Zhou, Li Ji, and Chu Suiliang?
Since we can't compete with anyone else, why bother trying to tease or show off?
I will honestly pass on this hereditary and irreplaceable title to my children and grandchildren in a few years, just kick off my legs and forget about it...
Suddenly feeling regretful, Tang Jian raised his head and saw His Majesty Li Er's eyes glancing towards him, and then suddenly focused on him.
Tang Jian was startled, "What are you looking at me for? I didn't say anything. I've been doing soy sauce for many years. Don't you know?"
Then, he realized that His Majesty Li Er was not looking at him. Following His Majesty Li Er's gaze, Tang Jian turned his head slightly and the muscles on his face twitched.
Fang Jun, this little bastard, actually fell asleep during the court meeting!
Tang Jian reached out wordlessly and pinched Fang Jun's thigh.
You said you should just sleep, but you were caught by His Majesty Li Er. You should cry to death...
