1108. Chapter 1108 The First Matter of the Prince's Imprisonment

The news of the crown prince Li ruling the country soon spread in Chang'an City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the people of Chang'an, this is good news.

The people of Chang'an naturally don't want Li Shimin to be sick, and even hand over everything to Li Zhi, after all, Li Shimin is still a very wise monarch in their minds, but no one can take care of things in the court.

The atmosphere of Chang'an has stabilized.

At the same time, the ministers of the court were also very excited, so in the first morning of the prince's imprisonment, everyone was eager to try and told all the things that had been backlogged in the past few days.

The morning dynasty was going on one after another, and there were still many things to be said after noon, and many people were a little hungry, but they refused to leave.

Seeing this, the crown prince Li Zhi was also distressed, so he ordered the imperial kitchen in the palace to cook a meal and send it over, so that the minister could eat first, and everyone would continue to talk after eating.

And Li Zhi might as well take advantage of this to rest for a while.

Throughout this morning, many ministers have taken out the backlog of things, but most of these things have already analyzed the pros and cons, and they only need to be discussed again, and Li Zhi will decide on it.

But even so, it tiring Li Zhi, a prisoner, is tired enough.

However, the crown prince Li Zhi is young, and because it is the first time to really hold such real power, he is also very excited and active, even if he is tired, he still persists.

Normally, the morning pilgrimage only ends at noon, but today it did not, but it continued to open.

In the afternoon, the minister's interest was still high, and he said everything one after another, and at this time, an official suddenly said something that made everyone a little embarrassed and did not know what to do.

This official's name is Sun Tong, and he is a Honglu Siqing.

Honglu Temple is the department of Datang responsible for dealing with other countries, Qing is the chief, Sun Tong stood up, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, after the beginning of spring this year, there have been several disasters in Nanzhao Dali, the people are poor, and there have been peasant riots in many places. ”

After Sun Tong finished speaking, the ministers of the court and the central government immediately began to discuss.

It is not unreasonable for Datang to send troops to other countries, but most of the situations must be in favor of Datang, and now Nanzhao wants Datang to send troops to help quell the rebellion, which is really a bit unreasonable.

What's more unreasonable is that they actually asked Datang to help them, Nanzhao is not small, how much money do you have to waste Datang if you send so many materials over?

Although Datang is rich now, he is not so rich that he doesn't treat money as money?

They felt that this Nanzhao was really embarrassed, and they even opened their mouths to ask for money.

The ministers were talking.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Nanzhao's request cannot be agreed, I want my Datang to send troops, and I want my Datang boy to fight and sacrifice, how can I give Datang some benefits, but now Nanzhao not only does not give benefits, but also wants my Datang to help them, there is such a good thing in the world?"

"That is, you must not promise us, we will not eat this loss."

"Yes, no."

The people of Datang don't like to suffer losses, there is a disaster in Nanzhao, and the people have no food to start a riot, this is their own Nanzhao business, what does it have to do with their Datang, they Datang also had a lot of disasters some time ago, but have you seen what they asked for from other countries?

Most officials in the DPRK and China are opposed to aiding Nanzhao, but some people say that they still have to help, such as Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang is a general, he doesn't care about economic matters, he only thinks about the military issues of the Tang Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, we have to help with this, Nanzhao is adjacent to my Datang, and Tubo is also next to each other, if Nanzhao has a good relationship with my Datang, it will be a big threat to Tubo, but if they have a good relationship with Tubo, it will inevitably make my Tang frontier unstable, moreover, Li Jing and Wang Xuance and others will go to Tianzhu through Nanzhao, and when they come back, they will have to go through Nanzhao, if they are unhappy with Nanzhao because of this matter, I am afraid that they will become a problem when they come back, and the meaning of the last general, the gang still has to help."

What Su Dingfang said has a certain truth, after he said this, many people in the DPRK and China also said that they could help and help Nanzhao tide over the difficulties, can they still think of white-eyed wolves to treat them like a Tang Dynasty?

Today's Datang still has to try to stabilize its relations with neighboring countries.

Everyone is talking, the crown prince Li Zhi also has his own considerations, now that he is in charge of the country, maybe he will soon ascend the throne as the emperor, and then there will definitely be a short period of chaos in the Tang Dynasty, if the surrounding area is unstable, it will be a very difficult period for him.

If you can win over Nanzhao and then show your benevolence, maybe you can have some good gains.

Thinking like this, the crown prince Li Zhi said: "Nanzhao has a good relationship with my Datang, and what General Su said just now also makes some sense, since we want to borrow Nanzhao, how can we do it if we don't give them some benefits?" Now that they have sent envoys to beg, we really can't say that we don't reach out to help, so let's order the household department to prepare materials to Nanzhao to relieve the victims, and send Pei Xingjian to lead 3,000 troops to help Nanzhao quell the rebellion. ”

After the crown prince Li Zhi said this, although some ministers in the court felt that it was too cheap Nanzhao, what Su Dingfang said just now also had a certain amount of truth, how could they do it if they wanted to trouble others and not give a little benefit?

Moreover, the people of Huaxia have been very generous since ancient times, so soon everyone accepted the arrangement of the crown prince Li Zhi, the household department went to prepare grain and grass, and Pei Xingjian organized soldiers and horses to go to Nanzhao to quell the rebellion.

For Pei Xingjian, the riotous people of Nanzhao are simply not enough to compete with their Datang, so it is still very easy to quell the rebellion, and in comparison, he feels that if he can help Nanzhao quell the rebellion, it will be extremely beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

Not only what Su Dingfang just said, but also the meaning of showing their strength in Datang, if their soldiers of Datang have played a prestige in Nanzhao, then Nanzhao is bound to respect Datang more, so they will not dare to easily find trouble with Datang.

Today's early dynasty lasted for a long time, it can no longer be described by the early dynasty, when the hundred officials left the palace, it was already ten in the evening, the evening in the late spring was very beautiful, there was a sunset in the sky, the wind blew warmth, and it was not too hot and dry.

As I walked, I could suddenly hear a few cicadas.

After late spring, it's summer.

Although the early dynasty lasted for a long time, whether it was for the ministers of the court or for the crown prince Li Zhi, today's early dynasty was a success, and Li Zhi made the ministers see their ability to govern the country, which also made them more confident in Li Zhi as the prince in the future.

With confidence, he will sit more firmly on the throne.
