Li Shimin opened the memorial and looked at it, and was immediately pleasantly surprised, saying hello three times,

"Tai'er did a very good job. Not only did he take back Qianzhou City, but he also wiped out the bandits who harmed the people in the surrounding area. It's very good. You have contributed a lot to this trip to Qianzhou."

Li Tai cupped his hands and said,

"Where and where, it is good to be taught by the emperor, and it is just to follow the instruction of the emperor. Don't dare to pocket the merits."

"Haha, don't be humble anymore at this time. If it weren't for you, no one in this court would be able to do it so well."

Although there was an element of convenience in these words, most of them had to admit that Li Tai did it perfectly.

You must know that those who have turned into bandits are very resistant to the imperial court. If you want to talk to them about Zhao'an, it is almost impossible.

What's more, there are still a large number of people from the rivers and lakes fishing in troubled waters, trying to claim benefits.

If Li Tai really didn't have the slightest means, it would be a joke to pacify Qianzhou.

It was precisely because of this trip that Li Tai won the support of many officials in the court.More people teamed up to him.

At this time, as long as the ministers are not blind, they can understand that Li Tai's voice in the court is the highest, and 2/3 of the ministers in the fund are on his side.

If Li Shimin wants to pass on the throne in the future, it must be to Li Tai.

Then when everyone congratulated Li Tai, or suddenly said,

"However, Father, and there is one more thing to ask Father for advice."

"Say it straight, Taylor."

Chapter 494, what is the intention?

Chapter 494, what is the intention?

"Father, when I was in Qianzhou City, I once met Turkic King Ashinaku once."

As soon as Li Tai's words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked, there were so many discussions from the court hall, and some ministers looked terrified.

Li Shimin could hardly sit still, and reprimanded,

"Nonsense, how can you meet those barbarians? Which Turkic people are not murderous? If you meet them rashly, don't you put your safety at risk?"

"Father, when we met that time, I was protected by two generals, Cheng Yong and Su Lie, without any danger, and Ashinaku was not as bloodthirsty as rumored."

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly. He also knew that when his child grows up, he has his own way to go. He can't always take care of the other side.

"Okay, I don't care how you meet him. But there must be no next time, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Father!"

"Then what do you say you said after you met him?"

Li Tai replied

"Ashinaku said that he felt very guilty for his younger brother's invasion of Datang. It was because of his younger brother's fault that we suffered huge losses, so he was willing to reconcile with us."

Li Shimin nodded: "Since you are willing to reconcile, let's reconcile. I didn't expect a group of uncivilized people to bow their heads? It's strange."

At this time, many ministers began to flatter and say,

"That's natural. Our Great Tang Dynasty is the Celestial Dynasty. How can a small Turkic fight against us?"

"That's right, our Great Tang is a great country, and that Turkic is just a poor silkworm."

"Okay, Ashinaku can be considered a hero, but I didn't expect him to be so cowardly?"

When everyone was discussing, Li Tai suddenly said,

"However, Ashinaku has a request. He will bow to us only if we fulfill this request."

"any request?"

"Ashi Naku wants us to hand over the murderer who killed his brother. Otherwise, even if it is a fight with Datang, we must seek justice for Ashina Lie."

After hearing this, Li Shimin slapped the table angrily, causing everyone present to tremble in fright.

"Bold, a little Turkic king dares to ask me to do this or that, don't even think about it!"

Finally, he questioned Li Tai again,

"Taylor, how did you respond to him then?"

Li Tai hurriedly cupped his hands and said,

"Reporting to my father, and thinking that a small Turk is not worthy of my Great Tang's attention, so I directly refused, and told the Assault King, if I insist on going my own way, then my Great Tang will not be afraid of him."

After hearing this, Li Shimin shouted loudly:

"it is good!"

He gladly said,

"It won't be my emperor's son, who has backbone and arrogance!"

Li Taigang wanted to respond, but Li Shimin changed his words,

"But if there is a war, who else do you think can go to the court?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent. Those ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and finally bowed their heads.

Most of the people present were civil servants. As for military generals, they either returned home because of old age, such as Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin.

Or they have already set off to Xiliang. In the current court, it is really difficult to send generals.

Not only that, but even the army is difficult to dispatch.

If the defenders of Chang'an City were spared, they could form a large army to conquer the Turks, but if that was the case, the Great Wall would be like a hedgehog without thorns, ready to be slaughtered.

Li Tai was also dumbfounded. He thought Li Shimin was praising him, but in the end he found out that he was severely blaming him.

"Father, my son knows his mistake."

"Do you know where you are going wrong?"

"I know, my son's fault was talking too much, and he shouldn't have let the big talk out before he expected the consequences."

Li Shimin said solemnly,

"It's good to know, don't do this next time. Do you know that your words are likely to cause tens of thousands of people to be displaced, and it will ruin the lives of an unknown number of soldiers?"

Li Tai bowed his hands and knelt down,

"I would like to follow my father's teachings, and I will definitely think twice before talking with others in the future."

"Well, then tell me, how should we respond to the Turkic King?"

"This……"

Li Tai didn't know what to do for a while, he just said that he would not hand over the murderer, Li Shimin said yes.

But because of the possibility of war, Li Shimin taught him a lesson again. This is not good, so is there a third possibility?

Finally, Li Tai lowered his head,

"Father and Emperor atone, sons and ministers don't know"

Li Shimin asked the crowd again,

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Changsun Wuji said,

"Your Majesty, I thought that we should first send troops to Qianzhou to show that our Tang Dynasty has sufficient troops and is not afraid of the Turks. Next, we will send envoys to negotiate with the Turkic King. The Turkic King in front is also unwilling to start a war. The reason why he did this , nothing more than wanting to benefit from Datang, or to ensure that his face will not be damaged."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zheng immediately retorted,

"The emperor's humble minister thinks that this matter must never be done like this."

Li Shimin asked, "Why?"

Wei Zheng acted as if he cared about the people of the world and worried about the country and the people,

"The Turks are people who drink blood. In their eyes, there is no distinction between strong and weak, only life and death. Just like the wild beasts in the mountains, if they send troops to confront them, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many Turks, and thus Caused a war. Since then, wouldn’t Qianzhou be devastated?”

"Then what do you say?"

Li Shimin seems to be more interested in Wei Zheng's ideas, but it's no wonder that she has fought a lifetime of fighting, and finally can keep this peaceful country, so how could she easily start a war?

One Xiliang country already made him a little bit burnt out, if adding another Turkic, wouldn't it make people unable to eat and sleep at night?

After thinking for a while, Wei Zheng replied,

"The emperor's servant thought that he should directly send envoys to reconcile with him. If we really need to hand over the murderer, I think it would be a good choice to give up the small family and serve everyone."

After hearing this, Li Tai suddenly asked angrily,

"So what do you mean, we want us to bow our heads to the Turks?"

"It's to prevent misunderstandings. The veteran didn't mean that. I just hope that peace is the most important thing and handle this matter in the most gentle way."

"Then do you know who the murderer is?"

Facing Li Tai's questioning, Wei Zheng looked calm and replied unhurriedly,

"If the old minister remembers correctly, it should be Lin Yu."

"Then you still ask to send it out? What is your intention in hiding?"

Li Tai rushed in front of Wei Zheng excitedly, grabbed his clothes and asked.

Sitting on the court hall, Li Shimin shouted loudly,

"Taylor, don't be rude, let go"

"Father, he obviously wants to kill his elder brother. If he handed over his eldest brother to the Turkic king, then the Turkic king will definitely get worse. Who knows what extraordinary things he will do in the future?"

"I said, let go!"

Li Shimin did not answer his question directly, but accused him again.

This made Li Tai feel disheartened for an instant, and finally, as a last resort, he had to let go of his hand, but gave Wei Zheng a hard look, and two low words came out of his throat,

"Wait!"

Wei Zheng's eyes were always depressed, as if he didn't see the other person's eyes, which almost killed him.

Li Shimin asked again,

"Wei Aiqing, if you advocate sending Lin Yu there, is it for the public or private?"

"Reporting to the emperor, my minister has always cared about the Tang Dynasty, and was willing to die for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Although there is some gap between Lin Yu and the minister, it is not a life-and-death enmity after all. The minister said that it is completely for the sake of the Tang Dynasty." ah."

Wei Zheng knelt on the ground and said righteously,

"If the emperor suspects that I have selfish intentions, I am willing to go with Lin Yu."

This method of showing the mind is the most useful in the court.

One is to show that I am really selfless, and the other is to show that I am selfless and willing to sacrifice myself for everyone.

And the most important thing is that Li Shimin will not let him pass at all, because he is only a civil servant, and he still plays a big role in the court.

If the dispatcher is really dead, wouldn't it be a waste of life?

Li Shimin waved his hand and said,

"Okay, you don't have to be like this. I know that you are only worried about the country. It's just that you can't make a rash decision on this matter. You all step back first, and think about it later."

Now, several civil servants suddenly knelt on the ground,

"Your Majesty can't think about it anymore. If you don't make a decision early, I'm afraid the Turkic king will attack because of waiting."

"Yes, Your Majesty, although you should think twice before acting, but this matter is like a fire, and you must respond as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lin Yu should be sent there"

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks this is very good."

"Your Majesty, I think it would be better if these old Turkic dogs were killed."

Suddenly, a loud voice echoed in the lobby
