Chapter 84 (2/2)
”Your Highness, if you don't give money, you will hurt the neighboring countries and be dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty because of your willful behavior? You don't just give money for the repair of the Embassy's house. Since you took office, you have ordered that the expenses for the students sent to the Tang Dynasty be stopped. As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, I just want to ask the crown prince a word. Have you ever thought about the consequences that will be brought to the Tang Dynasty by your disorderly behavior? ” Dai Zhide's face was full of grief and indignation. He did not know whether he had a straightforward temper like Wei Zheng. The emperor and the prince could not stand together.
Li Zhi rubbed some headache in his head. These two people seem to be bad today. He has been prevaricating for several times. If he shirks again, who knows what kind of extraordinary action Dai Zhide will make in court today.
However, the perpetrator turned around and looked at Dai Zhide quietly. When Dai Zhide was not comfortable, he began to speak slowly.
”Dai Shangshu, do you know how much money I have to lose in the Tang Dynasty because of your outspoken advice? Stop, listen to me first, and then you can talk about it. Don't always say that I'm stinking of copper. It's biased. ” Li Hong saw that Dai Zhide wanted to refute, so he quickly reached out and motioned.
”Well, I'll listen to your royal highness today. In front of your majesty and in front of the servants, I hope your highness can give me a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, I will never give up today.” Dai Zhide is also tough.
All of the ministers heard a voice in their hearts: ”it seems that these two people are going to fight to the end.”
Li Hong thought about it for a second. At this time, it is not convincing to speak with data. Moreover, Dai Zhide is facing himself with emotion at the moment. In any case, he must let him be unreasonable before he can speak with data.So Li Hong sorted out his thoughts and said, ”Dai Shangshu, may I ask you a question first?”
”The old minister knows everything and says everything.” Dai Zhide looks righteous.
”Well, please tell me how many troops of Tang Dynasty are assisting Baiji? What are the casualties in World War I this year Li Hong asked.
”This is a matter for the Ministry of war. The old minister is only responsible for the Ministry of rites...”
”The left and right servants are all in chaotang. Naturally, they have an answer, but many people want to know this answer. I can tell you that in the Tang Dynasty, 100000 soldiers and soldiers were sent to help defend Baiji, and more than 37000 people were killed and wounded in battles, but Do you know why the Tang Dynasty paid such a high price to deal with a little Baiji and Gaoli? That's because the Japanese people, in response to the messengers sent by fuyufeng, the king of Baiji, brought the Japanese troops to compete with the soldiers of Datang and Xinluo. Otherwise, we would not have died so many generals and soldiers! The Japanese people are so treacherous. I helped him build the embassy house and helped them to study for free. But when they returned to Japan, they took up swords and guns to deal with our officers and soldiers! Do you think it necessary for me to give him money? No, it's just that the king of Japan has done his utmost. Why should he pay for their repair? ”
Looking at Dai Zhide's black face, Li Hong continued to say slowly: ”Liu Renyuan and sun renshuai return to the dynasty, but why does general Liu Rengui dare not come back? Because General Liu was deeply afraid that the land stained with the blood of our soldiers would be taken away by Japan, Korea and Baiji again. In that way, the lives of more than 37000 soldiers and soldiers would be in vain! ”
Li Hong glanced at all the ministers in the court. He could not hold back. He could not do such a cowardly thing any more. He had to say that even if the current state policy of the Tang Dynasty could not be used skillfully as a bargaining chip, he must ring the alarm for the existing national policy of the Tang Dynasty at this time.
”Maybe all the officials and workers think that there must be casualties in a war, so there is no need to make a fuss. If you want to have no casualties, you should not send troops. In this way, we will lose the purpose of building up our prestige for the Tang Dynasty and subduing the masses with virtue. But my colleagues know, if the Japanese do not join the war, how many soldiers and soldiers can we be killed and wounded? If these officers and men were put in Tubo, Tuyuhun and Dashi, our Anxi four towns would not have been robbed and lost again. I don't have to use troops everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. I'm too busy. The officers and soldiers can have enough manpower and energy to continue farming when they don't send troops. They will also prepare for the famine year of our Tang Dynasty... ”
Standing in the middle of the silent court hall, the 10-year-old said with great seriousness: ”the chain reaction caused by a war is not what we can see at present, but has a fermentation time. Today's increase does not mean a permanent one. Today's decision seems to be correct, but it may make us regret ten years later. We can only hope that many of our colleagues in the court can use their years of experience, experience and knowledge to give advice for our Tang Dynasty, a stable Tang Dynasty! ”
Li Hong still did not say the ”Butterfly Effect” of chaos. What kind of chain reaction would happen to an in the Tang Dynasty, frowning and thinking for a moment, he said: ”all the officials are well-educated and have read through the ancient and modern times. Here, I hope you will study the chapter” Lu's spring and Autumn Annals. Chawei ”(the battle of the chicken father) after the next Dynasty. I think you should all know what it says As we all know, it was a Chu woman and a Wu woman picking mulberry leaves on the border of the two countries. They accidentally hurt the fingers of the women of Chu when they were playing with each other. But Peiliang, the border city of Chu, took people to the family members of the state of Wu and argued with each other. The people of Chu killed one of the women's families of Wu and left. After the Wu people knew this, they ran to the state of Chu and killed the woman's family. Beiliang, a senior official in the city of Chu, was furious: he dared to kill the people of Chu. So he sent troops to attack the state of Wu and killed all the women in the village. After hearing this, the king of Wu was enraged and ordered his troops to invade Chu
Li Hongyue said that the lower the voice was, the greater the court meeting was on the court than in the Yuan Dynasty. At this time, only officials from Wupin attended. I dare not say that everyone knows the story, but at least they should have heard of it.
Looking at the people saying nothing, Li Hong said in a lonely low voice: ”if you look at historical books, compile them, read them and compile them, your grandfather once said:” if you take copper as a mirror, you can correct your clothes. We can learn from others. From history, we can know the rise and fall. ” But we have never studied, such a tiny thing, will cause a big change, even if you die! Therefore, as courtiers, whether we are my father or emperor, or I, or second or third grade officials, or as small as grade eight or nine officials, when you make a decision, do you want to be responsible for this? Instead of passing the buck? Can you think that your words, like the Chu woman home with her family said the same, subtle, produced the shock of war between the two countries! The Japanese sent troops to help them. That's why they had to bear their fruits! Because, no one knows, if we help the Japanese people today, will the Japanese bully us with the knowledge we have taught them? Who can guarantee that? ”
