"This is a key to the ebb and flow of the Tang Dynasty and Tianfang!" Chen Ying said: "Whether secular politics dominates the religious system in Huaxia, or is religion oppressing the secular Tianfang dominates, in this prosperous Hezhong area The winner should be decided, in fact, they have always been our potential enemies!"
Chen Ying is a giant standing on the shoulders of history.
He sees further.
The battle of relations in the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline was after the defeat in the first battle of Talas.The key is that this is not only the tomb of the so-called empire, but also the largest resource zone in the world. It is rich in oil, natural gas, gold, copper, steel and coal resources.
If it weren't for this failure, Huaxia had forgotten that the river was once the homeland of China. Once China still owns these territories, it is no exaggeration to say that future generations of China will use oil cheaper than water.
However, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism and abandoned all schools of thought, the tradition of Confucianism has had a profound influence.Confucianism pays attention to the fact that if the name is not right, the words will not be right. If you want to be right, you must learn from the famous.
To be famous is to shift the responsibility to the other party.
Now, Chen Ying launched the Western Expedition under the banner of chasing down the remnants of the Eastern Turks.
Li Xiuning hesitated for a while and said: "You didn't explain clearly to His Majesty, so you acted rashly..."
Chen Ying sighed and said, "The Great Tang is not your Majesty's monopoly, there are various forces in the court, representatives of various forces, and when their quarrel comes to an end, the cucumber dishes will be cold!"
Li Xiuning said: "It's just that if Datang uses weapons again, we will cause uneasiness in the surrounding countries! They will even unite to deal with Datang! Datang will establish an unprecedented and terrifying enemy!"
"An unprecedented and terrifying enemy?" Chen Ying shook his head and sneered: "The unprecedented and terrifying enemy is never outside, but inside! The most terrifying enemy is not one who does what one does, but follows one's own way! It’s better to do it early than to do it late! It’s better to cut the mess quickly than to do it slowly!”
Chen Ying closed his eyes, seeming to be recalling: "I once saw a country that, for fear of a small group of people rebelling, for fear of some so-called foreign public opinion, suppressed what it really should do, day after day. The sun and the earth maintain an illusory stability! Even though those terrible scourges have spread from the borderlands to the heart, they are still deceiving! However, I will never allow such things to happen to me! The surrounding countries oppose If you want to oppose it, let them oppose it! Even if they want to mobilize troops because of this, I will not be afraid if they all stand up to support the Turks! I will not stop doing what I think is right because of the faces of outsiders, and unite to attack the Tang Dynasty. If you do it today, it may cause troubles for one or two years, but if you don’t do it, you will plant disasters for 100, 200, or even thousands of years! I, Chen Ying, would rather do the hardest things with my own hands If you lose him, you will never leave these curses to your descendants!"
The cold wind howled, and Chen Ying couldn't hear any noise.
……
Li Jiancheng sat on the throne in the Provincial Political Affairs Hall under the gate of Chang'an City, and did not speak for a long time.
The ministers of the Zhengshitang were silent, thinking about countermeasures.
After a long time, Fang Xuanling was the first to break the silence and said: "Your Majesty, I think that it might be a good thing for General Chen to go west..."
Yuwen Shiji said with a cold smile: "A good thing? The dignified general, ignoring the emperor's edict, is actually a good thing..."
Li Jiancheng didn't seem to hear what Yuwen Shiji said.
His eyes finally fell on Wei Zheng.
Li Jiancheng murmured: "Xuancheng, what do you think about this matter?"
Wei Zhengdao: "The remnants of the Eastern Turks are on the run. Aren't you worried that you will become a tiger if you don't let the tiger go? Instead, you are worried that General Chen will not succeed in rebelling?"
Yuwen Shiji didn't speak, he set his eyes on Fang Xuanling.
After all, Fang Xuanling is famous for his boldness.
Only Fang Xuanling dared to make a direct remonstrance.
However, Fang Xuanling said: "The land in Hexi is barren, and supplies are very difficult. It is not without reason that we can only push our troops to this area during the two great times of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Due to the limited terrain, the powerlessness of thinking may not be enough. If they can defend Congling, if they can successfully defend east and west, they will take Hezhong into their pocket before we break through their eastern defense line. Make a comeback!"
Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "I have decided to worship Li Jing as the right servant of Shangshu, and the inspector to serve as the left servant of Shangshu, Daxingtai, Zhongxizhou Road, holding a white banner and a yellow ax..."
Wei Zheng understood it very well.
Li Jiancheng used Li Jing to check and balance Chen Ying.
Li Jiancheng continued: "Anton General Li Shiji, as Minister of the Ministry of War, participated in the government affairs!"
PS: Get up early tomorrow at 05:30 to catch the high-speed train back to Beijing. I can’t stay up late today. I hope you will forgive me.This chapter was written a bit sloppily...
Chapter 74 News about Li Shimin, a visitor from Fusang Mainland
Chapter 74 News about Li Shimin, a visitor from Fusang Mainland
It was cold and windy.
However, sitting in the sealed sleigh carriage, wrapped in sheepskin and cotton, can keep most of the severe cold out of the carriage.
If there were six more stoves burning in a sled as large as Lee Chengdao's, it wouldn't be too much to say that the cabin was as warm as spring.At least, Li Chengdao, dressed in thin clothes, shook his head and said: "To be a ruler, stop with benevolence; to be a minister, stop with respect; to be a son, stop with filial piety; to be a father, stop with kindness; to be friends with people, stop with trust..."
Kong Yingda, a doctor of Guozi who was sitting on the opposite side of the carriage, said suddenly: "His Royal Highness, how do you explain this sentence..."
Li Chengdao thought for a while and said: "Mr. taught that as a monarch, you must achieve benevolence; as a subject, you must achieve respect; as a son, you must achieve filial piety; as a father, you must achieve love; as a citizen, you must achieve harmony. Integrity..."
Kong Yingda nodded slightly.
Li Chengdao is very smart, and he can draw inferences from one instance.
This made Kong Yingda very satisfied.
Seeing that Li Chengdao was so smart, Kong Yingda thought about taking the school exam instead.He smiled slightly and said, "His Royal Highness, a gentleman is virtuous and kisses his relatives, and a villain enjoys his own pleasure and benefits his own interests. This is why he will never forget it. What's the explanation?"
Li Chengdao thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "A gentleman respects the sages he should respect, stays close to the relatives he should be close to, ordinary people enjoy the happiness they get, and use the benefits they get, so they will never forget the previous sage kings all their lives... "
Kong Yingda looked at Li Chengdao more satisfied.
However, precisely because he was satisfied with Li Chengdao, the crown prince, Kong Yingda was not satisfied with Li Jiancheng's actions.Although the prince Li Chengdao didn't understand it, Kong Yingda, who was the right bastard of the prince, knew it very well.The real purpose of the crown prince hunting Anxi on behalf of Tianxun is to test Chen Ying.
However, Kong Yingda understood.
At this time, Chen Ying had an imperial edict in his hand. This imperial edict was written by Li Jiancheng himself. The first part of the document was the signature of Chu Suiliang who was drafted by the imperial edict, followed by the signature seal of Zhongshu Ling Wei Zheng, and on the right... On the right, under the door is the signature seal of Fang Xuanling, the provincial servant.It is neat and tidy, and there is nothing missing.
Then there are the signatures of Yang Gongren, Wang Gui, and Gao Shilian.
"Emperor's Seal" Zini Yangwen, the seal dedicated to feudal princes.
"The seal under the door of Zhongshu" Zhu Ni Yinwen...
The emperor's handwriting... Hanlin imitation... the prime minister's countersignature... the jade seal... the prime minister's seal...
There is no lack of a full set of procedures. No matter how you look at it, this is an emperor's book that complies with procedures and follows the law.
It's just that the content...is blank.
That is to say, the imperial decree in Chen Ying's hand can be written in a larger scale, and it can be written as a king. Even if Li Jiancheng is given the Zen throne, it is in line with legal procedures.At least Li Jiancheng, the fifth of the six prime ministers of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, signed his name on this imperial decree.
If Chen Ying wants to coerce the prince to order the world, it is also possible.It can also be written as Li Jiancheng's Zen position, and the crown prince Li Chengdao will be able to wait for the great treasure immediately and command the world.
……
There was such an imperial decree in front of Chen Ying and Li Xiuning at this time, Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning in surprise and said, "When was this imperial decree given to you?"
Li Xiuning smiled wryly and said, "Two months ago, when the rumors about Chang'an were at its worst, Wei Zheng analyzed that three people became tigers, and everyone talked about money..."
Chen Ying looked at this blank imperial decree, and naturally understood the meaning of it. Touching this imperial decree at this moment, Chen Ying felt that this imperial decree was as hot as a red-hot iron.
