Chapter 161: Only the Dead Are Safest

"The minister just said that the minister wants to enter the court as an official, and ask the emperor to arrange a suitable official position for the minister. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhang Nan asked with a strange face, why didn't Li Er's ears work hard all night, was it because of the sequelae of drinking too much last night? Zhang Nan guessed in his heart.

"What do you say, do you say again?" Li Er still refused to believe that this kind of words could come out of Zhang Nan's mouth, it was really unbelievable.

"......" It's so difficult that Li Er is talking about playing me? Zhang Nan thought silently in his heart.

"The minister said that the minister should be an official, and the emperor should arrange a suitable official position for the minister and give full play to the minister's strengths." Zhang Nan puffed up a breath and shouted loudly to Li Er, the emperor who was a little "behind his ears".

"You want to be an official? Are you sure? Li Er asked, how is this the same as a different person after getting married.

"Naturally, it is very certain, after the minister's ideological struggle, and the minister's wife persuaded the minister, the minister understood one thing." Zhang Nan said.

"Oh, let's talk about it, let me hear what Qingquan understands in the end, it's like a different person." Li Er asked with a smile on the dragon chair, let Zhang Nan enter the court as an official, and Li Er was so happy that he forgot about Wei Zhengyi himself just now.

The minister understood that the most precious thing for a person is life. Life belongs to man only once. A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret that he has wasted his time for doing nothing, nor will he feel guilty for being a despicable person and living a vulgar life. In this way, when he was dying, he was able to say: 'I have dedicated my whole life and all my energy to the most magnificent cause in the world -- to fight for a better tomorrow for Datang.' ”

In fact, Zhang Nan had already thought about this sentence, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to use it to decorate calves, but he finally used it today.

Li Er and the officials in the court widened their eyes after hearing this, as if they didn't believe that Zhang Nan actually had such a high ideological consciousness, and Zhang Nan and Zhang Qingquan could actually say such a thing.

Although Li Er himself didn't believe that Zhang Nan could do it, and Li Er didn't believe that Zhang Nan had such a high ideological consciousness, but it sounded comfortable, like this, in comparison with Wei Zheng's vigorous saying that it was wrong for him to send troops, whose realm was higher, it was immediately revealed.

"It's a good saying, a good sentence to fight for a better tomorrow for Datang." Li Er clapped his hands on the dragon chair and applauded.

Zhang Nan smiled modestly, joking, the chicken soup for the soul that can be handed down is not called chicken soup for the soul, it is called the inheritance of will.

"Wei Qing, did you hear that? It is the attitude that my Tang courtiers should have. Li Er hit Wei Zheng at the right time.

"The minister also thinks this is a good thing, but the minister still doesn't agree with the emperor, you to send troops to the Turks." Wei Zheng said with a straight face. For Wei Zheng's refusal to advance, Li Er completely lost patience.

"Wei Zheng, you ......" Li Er was already on the verge of breaking out, but was stopped by Zhang Nan. Zhang Nan gave Li Er a quiet look and motioned for him to try, Li Er waved his hand with a dark face, signaling Zhang Nan to play freely.

"Lord Wei, I heard that you want to stop the emperor from sending troops to the Turks?" Zhang Nan said.

"That's right, as the so-called division is nameless, so rashly sending troops, the old man thought that he would definitely be defeated, listening to Lord Zhang's meaning, it seems that he already knew that the emperor wanted to send troops to the Turks." Wei Zheng stroked his beard and asked.

"It's not like I already knew this, because I put forward this proposal to the emperor." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Ridiculous, how can Lord Zhang say such a thing, the belligerents will die, is it difficult for Lord Zhang to understand such a simple truth?" Wei Zheng saw that this proposal was actually put forward by Zhang Nan to Li Er, so he immediately turned the spearhead and turned it on Zhang Nan.

"Why can't you fight? This Turk has repeatedly violated the border of my Datang, and it is difficult to destroy it for the safety of the lives and property of the people of my Datang, shouldn't it be destroyed? Zhang Nan asked rhetorically.

"Lord Zhang, you said lightly, these Turks are just here to ask for food, give them food, they will naturally disperse, why waste money to start a war." Wei Zheng said with a frown.

"Then according to Lord Wei's meaning, when this Turk comes to invade my Tang border again, let my people in the Tang Dynasty obediently give money, and then hand over their wives and children to the Turks, and then hand over the grain?" Zhang Nan thought that in ancient times, there would be a faction of peacemakers, but Zhang Nan did not expect that this situation would also be thought of in the Tang Dynasty, which was recognized as a powerful dynasty.

"What the Turks want is food, as long as the people on the border of the Tang Dynasty hand over a little food, they can exchange for life safety, why not?" Wei Zhengdao.

"Since Lord Wei Zheng said so, then let's ask Lord Wei Zheng to lead the troops to guard the border pass, oh no, there is no need to guard the border pass, since the food can be guaranteed to be safe, then what do you need the sergeant to do?" Zhang Nan said with a frown.

"That's right, that's what I told him." At this time, Cheng Yanjin jumped out in support of a wave of Zhang Nan.

"Have you ever thought about what will happen to these Turkic people if they have food?" Zhang Nan asked rhetorically.

"This ......," Wei Zheng was speechless for a moment.

"Master Wei thinks that giving food will ensure the safety of my Datang border pass? Wrong, very wrong, the so-called non-our race, their hearts will be different. If you are good to these Turks, the Turks will not think of your goodness, they come once, you give food once, come once to give food, and when they don't ask for food anymore, then the next time they want is the land of our Han people, and the lives of our Han people. Zhang Nan said.

"Lord Zhang's words are serious, for these barbarians, we can slowly educate them, give them saint rituals, and learn the words of saints." At this point, a civil servant jumped out and said.

"Indoctrination? Okay, then please go to the border now, and wait until the next time the Turks come to invade my Tang border, you can rush up and talk to them. Zhang Nan smiled and said.

When the civil official wanted to open his mouth to say something, he was stopped by Wei Zheng, who said: "Then how does Lord Zhang think to deal with these Turks who have repeatedly violated our border gates?" ”

"I thought? This thing is easy to do, the first time I come, I will repel you, the second time I come, I will kill you, the third time, I will install your head to the border line of my Datang, so that all the Turks who come to the border pass will see, this is the fate of my Datang. Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Does Lord Wei know who is the safest in this world?" Zhang Nan didn't give Wei Zheng a chance to speak, and continued to ask rhetorically.

"Who?" Wei Zhengdao.

"The safest people in the world are the dead." Zhang Nan showed his white teeth and smiled at Wei Zheng and said.
