Chapter 262: The Strategy of Pingling Ling
Li Er frowned and said, "According to what you say, he Feng Ang ignores the Son of Heaven, but I am sorry for him?" ”
"Meng Shengren said: 'The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. ’
The minister thought that it was very appropriate to use it here, Feng An's surrender to the Tang Dynasty, although it was for the sake of fame, he may not be single-mindedly descending to the Tang Dynasty, but he definitely had no rebellious heart.
But on the other hand, Datang, what did we give him? It's just an ethereal seal, with or without this paper document, everyone is the emperor of Lingnan, and now the Tang Dynasty doesn't even give basic trust to others, and wants to use troops against him, isn't this forcing him to rebel? ”
Bai Fan's remarks, although it was not the way of a minister, but it stood up to scrutiny, everyone did not speak, but fell into contemplation, thinking that if they got along with each other, I am afraid that not only Feng Ang would do this, but anyone would do this, and even many people would rebel directly without coming to pay tribute.
"I have already crowned him as the Duke of Yueguo, and I trust him so much, if he comes to Chang'an to congratulate, will I do that villain's thing, and it will not be good for him? After all, he still can't believe me. Li Er said dissatisfied.
In fact, this is like a reconciliation between two people who originally had grievances, since both sides don't want to fight, they both want to get back together, it's nothing more than who reaches out to the other party first, the court can't count a piece of paper, and the other party can't see the slightest sincerity.
In the eyes of the minister, the Lingnan issue is not a problem at all, and it can be resolved peacefully without using swords, if the court's sincerity is enough, not only can it completely get Lingnan, but also Feng An, a capable minister. ”
Everyone was attracted by Bai Fan's words, and everyone felt unbelievable.
Du Ruyan was puzzled: "What does it mean that the sincerity of the imperial court is enough?" Did you send someone to give him a big gift? Directly crown him king? ”
"No, no, no, the so-called thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light!
Feng Ang was the overlord of the south back then, the princes of the road in the troubled times, and his identity was equal to His Majesty in the early years, so if he wanted to subdue him, only His Majesty personally went to Lingnan to befriend Feng Ang in the name of inspection, so it can definitely show sincerity.
With His Majesty's affinity and the wind of a king, the other party is not a natural king, how can he stop it, and he will definitely belong sincerely. ”
"No, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you be in danger?"
Everyone stopped in unison.
Li Er was also weighing in his heart, according to what Bai Fan said, it was calculated that at least eighty percent of the time he was likely to succeed, but ......
"As the saying goes, reluctant children can't catch wolves! If Your Majesty spares his life to save his life, isn't it the way for Feng Ang to live in Lingnan in peace?
Without enough trust, how could he hand over everything and hand over his net worth and life to a court he had never met? ”
Li Er nodded, "Yes, what Jian Zhi said is reasonable, I think this matter is feasible!" ”
"Your Majesty, by no means! Now that the Tang Dynasty is uncertain, His Majesty can't leave Chang'an lightly, let alone Lingnan, which is thousands of miles away? Even if we knew it was a good plan, it wouldn't work! The eldest grandson Wuji persuaded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, go to Lingnan for at least half a year, in case the Eastern and Western Turks in the north or Tuyuhun and Goguryeo come to attack, and there is no Your Majesty in charge, how can we meet the enemy?" Li Jing also got up and persuaded.
"The Son of Heaven travels, has always been a laborer, in the past Yang Guang went from Luoyang to Jiangdu to play, costing millions of manpower, resulting in the last breath of the former Sui was exhausted, now although Your Majesty is traveling righteously, but the journey is not inferior to fighting a war of 100,000 people, Datang can't afford to spend it at all, please think twice." Fang Xuanling persuaded.
Wei Zheng looked at Bai Fan who was pondering, and opened his mouth to drink: "Marquis of Lantian, you don't know the price of firewood and rice, once Your Majesty travels and has something to do, it will be too late to regret it, since you have threatened to be a minister, why don't you come out to persuade you?" ”
Li Jiancheng opened his mouth and asked, "Jian Zhi, is there really no other way to do anything else?" Is it okay for this king to go? Or take Cheng Qian with you? It's enough to show sincerity! ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all nodded in agreement: "Yes, King Jin plus the crown prince, Feng Ang didn't think about it, since he is known as a capable minister, then he should understand the importance of His Majesty not to be taken lightly." ”
Li Er also thinks this plan is feasible!
Bai Fan had a flash of inspiration and laughed: "I have a better candidate here." ”
"Who?"
"The Emperor!"
Li Er laughed, "Not bad, Jian Zhi is really smart!"
My father is also the king of the Tang Dynasty, and Feng Ang surrendered to his father back then, and now if my father can come forward to show his sincerity, I think it will not be inferior to me, a clever plan! ”
Zhong Wenwu nodded, he was indeed a good candidate.
"Later, I will go to my father to discuss, I want to come to his old man's house to live in the deep palace for a long time, and I am willing to go out for a tour, not to mention this year, I will start preparing after the beginning of spring, the emperor's southern tour is not a trivial matter, although the national strength consumed is not small, but for the long-term peace and stability of Lingnan, the money that should be spent still has to be spent."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I think it doesn't cost much." Bai Fan said with a smile.
"Oh? Do you have any good ideas for this, kid? Li Er said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, since the Emperor Taishang is out to play, then the team is a burden, since the Tang Dynasty has been stable, what are we worried about? Labor will only increase the burden of the people, it is better to send the elite guards of Xuanjia, just play along the way, do not alarm the place, so that not only the cost is very small, and the emperor can also have fun.
If the Emperor Taishang is interested, he can also make a private visit, and maybe he can also remove a few local disasters for Datang!
As for the Lingnan side, we sent an official document early saying that the Emperor Taishang was going to visit the Duke of Yueguo, and Feng An, the overlord of Lingnan, received him all the way, so there was no need to worry about safety. Bai Fan said confidently.
"No, if Feng Ang really has a rebellious heart, then wouldn't the Emperor Taishang fall into the mouth of a tiger? At least 20,000 troops must be brought to escort it. Li Jing persuaded.
Bai Fan waved his hand, "If he really wants to rebel, let alone 20,000, even 100,000 is not enough for people to eat, so there is no trust in the rat trap, what is the emperor going to do there?" ”
"Yes, what Jian Zhi said is right, since it is a sign of sincerity, we must be the first to extend a hand of trust, I believe in Feng An!
Besides, even if he is dizzy, he will not detain his father, after all, his father is not the emperor, and he is no longer in charge of the government, and Feng An's disadvantage to his father will only lead to a big army fight, which is not beneficial to both parties.
As for the travel guard, I will discuss with my father and make a decision!
Bai Fan, I heard that you are the number one master in the world today, since you proposed to go to the south of the emperor, then I think it will be safer to have you, the number one master, as a guard, so this time you must protect your father and emperor throughout the whole process, and there must be no loss! ”
"I ......"
"What? You don't want to go? Do you want to resist the decree? Or do you not want to protect your father?
Big brother, you should go and talk to my niece Ping'er, this kid doesn't care about her grandfather's safety at all......"
Li Jiancheng also stared at Bai Fan with a smile, what do you think?
Bai Fan: "I'll go, I'll go, can't I go?" ”
I complained in my heart, how can I explain this to my wife? I promised not to go out again, and within a few months, I came back to work, working hard!
Two consecutive shots in the morning!
