The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 781
Chapter 781
And the words of the ministers can be said to have just reached Li Er's heart.

After all, in Nuoda's court, Li Er can't just let Li Er have the final say.

Although this is the real situation, but for the evaluation of a generation of Mingjun, Li Er still has to ask the ministers to agree on many things before issuing the imperial edict.

Now Li Er just doesn't want to re-appoint those exiled ministers, and this official's advice is good news for Li Er.

And the envoys of those small countries also thought crazily in their hearts when they heard that the officials of the Tang Dynasty made such remarks.

"This is the best way. You Tang Dynasty, you better not send officials to our small country, or else our country's sovereignty can be preserved?"

"Yes, yes, the king of Tang should make a decision quickly. No matter what kind of minister he is, he can't be sent to our country as an official anyway. Otherwise, wouldn't the sovereignty of our country become the Tang Dynasty's?"

"King Tang, hurry up and make a decision. You don't think that our country wants you to send officials from Datang to serve as officials in our country, do you? Do you think that our country is a fool? There are not enough officials to arrange for you, so why not arrange for you?"

And Bai Jingyi secretly thought it was funny.

"I didn't expect that these ministers could not come up with ideas. Trying to figure out Li Er's thoughts is definitely a must. This is also very interesting."

Seeing that Li Er's reaction had improved, the ministers behind him began to speak up one after another.

"My Majesty, I also feel that my Tang Dynasty should not appoint those ministers who were exiled. After all, my Tang Dynasty is now strong and powerful, and there is no shortage of officials to manage the country, and those officials have long respected my Tang Dynasty. There is no intention of surrender."

"Your Majesty, please think again. I think that there is really no need for my Great Tang to take risks. After all, it is related to the appointment of officials in my Great Tang. It can be said that the water here is very deep. If there is a slight mistake, it will affect my Great Tang. They are all huge!"

"Please also ask the Holy Master Mingjian, there is really no need for me, Tang Dynasty, to take risks for such a simple matter as sending officials to small countries! Holy Shang Mingjian!"

With the responses from the ministers, Li Er's expression softened completely.

After all, if the officials of the Tang Dynasty were against it, then if Li Er insisted on making a decision, it would be enough for him to be discredited by the historian.

The officials behind all started talking to Li Er one after another.

"I want to report to the Holy Majesty, I also feel that my Great Tang should not take risks. The old ministers of the previous dynasty know my Great Tang very well. If the Holy Majesty insists on letting them go to a small country as an official, I am afraid that they will unite with the small country. , deal with me Datang!"

"Your Majesty, please think again. Even if our Tang Dynasty does not have this opportunity, it will not have a great impact on our national power. After all, our Tang Dynasty now has 4000 million people, and the people of these small countries may not be added together. Let me be the top of the Tang Dynasty! Please think twice, don't take risks, if you waste the national power of my Datang."

"Then my Great Tang will definitely be very depressed in the future. If I face the attacks of these small countries again, my Great Tang may be overwhelmed. Please also ask the Holy Master to enlighten me!"

Bai Jingyi nodded secretly from the side, and the minister had a point.

The most dangerous thing about those former officials is that they know too much.

It can be said that these ministers are well aware of some important military affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

If they were sent to a small country as officials, Bai Jingyi would not dare to say that these officials would not betray Datang.

Among the 1 officials, if there is only one, the blow to Datang will be very heavy.

This is undoubtedly to tell all the weaknesses of Datang to those small countries.

And if those small countries have mastered these weaknesses of the Great Tang, then the Great Tang must have nothing to do.

These small countries with wolfish ambitions are very jealous of Datang.

Although he is very afraid now, it is because Datang's national power has rapidly improved.

But in ancient times, productivity came first, and the decline in productivity was caused by many reasons.

For example, natural disasters, droughts, famines, plagues, wars, any one of these, can make Datang's national power decline rapidly.

The decline in national power is reflected in the increase in taxation and the misery of the people.

And the food and grass of the army will also be attenuated. The first price is that the army will be reduced.

If it is reduced, then Datang's military strength will also decline, and there are simply too many unstable factors in it.

Bai Jingyi patted his head: "This ancient times is really inconvenient!"

Although Datang is very strong now, if there is a severe drought, if there are foreign enemies at this time, then Datang will definitely stop.

If you have gone through this, it will take at least a year or so for taxes to make up for the shortfall.

So now in Datang, no one can guarantee that the national power will continue to improve.

Li Er couldn't guarantee it, and neither could Bai Jingyi.

As for the ministers behind him, they couldn't guarantee it even more.

So the only thing Datang can pay attention to now is to strengthen the oppression of small countries.

To make the small countries completely lose their minds about the Tang Dynasty, this is the way to settle the external enemies.

The following ministers continued to speak.

"My Majesty, I believe that my Great Tang should be like this. Even if I don't send officials to these small countries as officials, then my Great Tang will not necessarily lose money. After all, these exiled ministers are not good to my Great Tang. Very loyal, and also experienced exile, I feel that they should be full of resentment towards my Tang Dynasty now!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice. There is really no need for my Tang Dynasty to take this risk. After all, those former ministers who have been exiled don't know what my Tang Dynasty thinks. If the Holy Majesty wants to give them a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, They will also agree to come down in order to escape life in exile, but when they become officials in a small country, it will be dangerous."

"These small countries are thousands of miles away from our Great Tang. If they raise troops, it will take about half a month for the news to reach our Great Tang. Let me ask you, how can our Great Tang keep them safe under such circumstances? Will you betray me, Datang?"

"They are already full of resentment towards my Great Tang, and these small countries are not really surrendered to my Great Tang. If my Great Tang is really negligent and sends these ministers to a small country to serve as officials, then in the future if they We have united together and revealed all the secrets of my Great Tang to the public, so what should my Great Tang do? Please also ask the Holy Lord to enlighten me!"

And at this moment, Bai Jingyi, although not saying a word, still agrees with the minister's advice.

If the ministers in exile and the small countries come together, isn't it a collusion?
