Chapter 496: Bragging Praise, Defeating Fire
Li Chengqian understands what Wei Zheng said, and Li Er also understands, but the idea of an emperor and the idea of a courtier are completely different from the starting point.
Just like finding a daughter-in-law, putting it on Li Ke has a different ending than putting it on Li Chengqian.
Whoever Li Ke is optimistic about, he can directly take him back as a concubine, but the same thing is not good for Li Chengqian, no matter who he is optimistic about, he must get the consent of the eldest grandson and Li Er, otherwise it will be disobedience.
The same is true of Goguryeo, in Wei Zheng's opinion, this is a trivial matter, even if you forbear, it is not too late for the husband to take revenge for ten years.
But in Li Er's opinion, this is the other party not giving himself face, if he endures it this time, what if other countries do the same? Do you want Datang's face? Do you still want the face of the emperor?
Li Chengqian is very clear about the old man's personality and thoughts, and from his standpoint, Li Er is both his Laozi and his monarch, so no matter which aspect, he should stand on the old man's side, otherwise he is unfilial and disloyal!
So after Wei Zheng finished saying his point, Li Chengqian took over the conversation: "Uncle Wei is serious, my father's intention is just to let Goguryeo be taught a lesson, not to slaughter its country and destroy its species. ”
"Well, yes, that's what I mean!" Lao Li, who was drinking tea, nodded again and again and put down the cup in his hand.
Li Er only wants to send troops now, as for how far he wants to fight, then he has to fight, if Goguryeo is forced, it is not impossible to destroy his country.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" For the Li family's father and son's sloppy approach, Old Man Wei was tired in his heart, and felt that the little fat man two days ago was cuter.
Du Ruhui, who had been sitting silently, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, the soldiers on the battle array are fierce and dangerous, and I am afraid that whether to fight or not to fight is something that I can decide in the Tang Dynasty." ”
Lao Du's speech surprised Li Chengqian, and he couldn't help but turn his attention away.
I only heard Du Ruhui continue: "Your Majesty, Goguryeo is a bitter cold land, the winter is long and the summer is short, the weather is extremely cold in winter, my Tang sergeant is not adaptable, it is not durable to fight; And in the summer, the country will become a flooded country again, and large siege ordnance will not be able to be transported into it. Therefore, if you want to go eastward, you must make all preparations. ”
Li Er smacked his lips and looked at Li Chengqian.
He had discussed these conversations with Du Ruhui and others countless times just now, and he had no new ideas for a long time, and now he said that it was nothing more than for Li Chengqian.
Sure enough, Li Chengqian did not live up to Li Er's expectations, and was not intimidated by the difficulties that Du Ruhui said, but led the topic to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers: "Uncle Du knows how the combat strength of the Goguryeo soldiers is?" ”
Seeing that Li Chengqian still didn't listen to persuasion, Du Ruyan couldn't help but aggravate his tone: "The people of Goguryeo are fierce, and it can be said that all the people are soldiers. ”
Li Chengqian smiled nonchalantly: "Uncle Du's words are exaggerated, no matter how powerful a thousand sheep are, they can't beat a strong tiger, and the fact that all the people are soldiers does not mean that they are invincible in battle, otherwise they will not be taken away so many people every year, and there is nothing to be done." ”
The old man Wei Zheng saw that Li Chengqian was also in tune with Li Er, and it was even more difficult, so he couldn't help but sigh and snatch the conversation: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo at the end of the Sui Dynasty failed, and the lessons of the past are in front of you, why is Your Highness obsessed!" ”
As soon as Lao Wei's words fell, there was a sudden silence in the room, and everyone's eyes looked at Li Er behind the table.
Old Wei Tou'er is a taboo, take Yang Guang as an example, saying that Li Chengqian is obsessed, but Comrade Xiao Li is clearly Li Er's spokesperson, saying that he is obsessed is tantamount to saying that Li Er is obsessed, which is tantamount to comparing Lao Li and Yang Guang.
Li Chengqian dared to feel the weirdness of the atmosphere, looking at the old man's increasingly gloomy face, as if he was about to explode, it was estimated that he would probably get the old Wei out and cut it down in the next second.
He got up from his chair in a flash, stood in the room, attracted everyone's eyes to himself, and then said loudly: "Father, uncles, since you are worried about the world attacking the Tang Dynasty, why didn't you think of coming over to attack the 'Gao'?" Thinking that Goguryeo and Baekje and Silla were feuds, if the Tang Dynasty sent troops, Baekje and Silla would inevitably launch a fierce attack from their backs. ”
"And as long as we contact the Khitan tribe and the Heishui tribe in the north, give them some benefits, and under the trend of interests, these two departments will inevitably respond, and when the time comes, the five parties will be surrounded on all sides, and what can Goguryeo do even if the whole country is full of soldiers?"
There's no way, whether it makes sense or not, Li Chengqian made up some reasons randomly, wanting to distract the old man's attention, and don't let Lao Li smash his 'mirror' in anger.
The people sitting in Lao Li's study are all human spirits, which one is not an old fox-like character, as soon as Li Chengqian's words fell, Fang Xuanling immediately picked up: "How does Your Highness know that Baekje and Silla will definitely send troops?" What if they don't send troops? ”
Li Chengqian smiled and said proudly: "Whether or not to send troops depends on the determination of the Tang Dynasty, if I raise 400,000 troops to the border, I am afraid that if we don't wait for us to make the first move, Baekje and Silla will move first." ”
Bragging, who wouldn't, let's not say if it's feasible or not, just listen to the cheer, just draw Lao Li's attention away.
"Okay, okay, don't act here for me to see, I'm not so stingy, I won't even listen to a word!" Li Er reluctantly knocked on the jade pen holder on the table, interrupting Li Chengqian and the others' bragging.
In an instant, there was a sound of exhalation in the study, and Lao Du, Eldest Sun Wuji and others were also raising their sleeves to wipe the cold sweat that came out of their foreheads, no matter what, Old Man Wei's life should have been saved.
"Minister, thank you for your majesty's unresponsible kindness!" Li Er said that he didn't blame him, but Lao Wei couldn't just accept it with peace of mind, and thanking him for giving a gift was also the proper meaning of the question.
"Excuse me!" Since he didn't want to kill Lao Wei, Li Er would be a good person to the end and let Lao Wei sit back in his place. This kind of upright guy, killing will only complete his reputation, but it is useless for Li Er except to vent his anger, and if he can't get it right, he will have to bear the notoriety of a tyrant, and a wise man will not do it.
It's just that after exempting Lao Wei from punishment, Lao Li looked at Li Chengqian, sighed, and swept around Changsun Wuji and the others: "I think the strategy that the prince said just now is good, what do you think?" ”
Well?! Not bad? Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lao Li in surprise, those were all improvised to brag about defeating the fire just now, how could it become a good strategy in the old man's mouth? It can't be the other way around, right?
