Datang Longya

Chapter 606 Marriage is Impossible

The introduction of the new tax law, although no one thinks it will fail, is not afraid of [-] but just in case.Once the merchant group cannot become the main taxpayer, then Datang will be in jeopardy.

After all, imperial decrees cannot be changed overnight, and the imperial court can neither increase tax rates nor re-increase farmers' taxes.

Since the emergence of Tianxialou, the imperial court has also paid more and more attention to its "credibility" in the hearts of the common people.Facts have proved that only a court with a strong reputation can win the support of the people.

After one person built a snowman, Leng Feng called Liu Shuya and the others into the house to warm their hands.The original Leng Mansion had only two owners, Leng Feng and Liu Shuwen, and it was very deserted. Although there were three more brothers, Li Chengqian, they couldn't often live in the Leng Mansion.

Now, counting Di Renjie and Wu Mei, the Leng House has five children, and it is much more lively than before.

Because of the snow, Leng Feng had the opportunity to be lazy, and he simply didn't go to "work" for a week. At most, there were a few memorials that were urgently dealt with, which would be sent to Leng's residence by the clerk.

Regarding Leng Feng's laziness, Li Shimin had no choice but to let Leng Feng become Minister of the Ministry of War. One of the conditions he agreed to was "not to force him to be on duty".

But a week later, Leng Feng went to court again, because Tuyuhun and Turks actually sent envoys to Chang'an, demanding to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

And dear.

Marriage is a common thing. In the history of China, the Central Plains does not know how many countries have made peace with each other, but most of them are showing weakness.

However, in the current environment, Tuyuhun and Turkic voluntarily asked for peace, but it was an active show of weakness to the Central Plains.

There is no way, the current Datang is too powerful, not only the Eastern Turks were wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, even the Tushi Tuli family was beaten too hard to fight back.Although the Western Turks frightened away the army that was chasing Tushi Tuli, everyone knew that if there was a real conflict with the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks would not have much chance of winning.

In just ten short years, Datang has turned from a weak country to the overlord of this land.

Now is the era when Datang is the master of the country. If they want to quell Datang's ambitions, they can only use the previous method of the Central Plains and actively ask for a marriage with Datang.

In fact, Leng Feng really hates the matter of getting married, especially when he thinks of a princess who is going to leave Datang and go to a foreign country to die alone, Leng Feng feels worthless for them.

Although it is a good story for Zhaojun to leave the frontier, no one thought about whether Wang Zhaojun would be able to live happily in the Xiongnu.Although Han Xiedan then professed his vassal to the great Han, Zhaojun's behavior of going out of the fortress was more like a political "pacification".

No matter how Zhaojun was, anyway, Leng Feng felt that Datang didn't need to make a marriage, any of you who refused to accept it had to hold back or fight, if you want to make a marriage, get your princess here!Why should our princess be married?

With this in mind, Leng Feng went up to court.

Leng Feng thought this way, but the others in the court had another idea.

In their view, the Tuyuhun Turks took the initiative to ask for a marriage, which is a grand event!
This is a prosperous age that is enough to be recorded in the annals of history. This is worthy of gathering all the civil and military officials of the court, drinking a few cups, and then leaving a peerless article that will be handed down to future generations.
Hearing Yu Shinan's words, Leng Feng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Du Ruhui, "Just because the two younger brothers asked for a marriage marriage, why are they so happy? They didn't submit themselves to the Tang Dynasty!"

Du Ruhui shrugged: "There's no way, it's rare in history to be able to oppress the grassland people to take the initiative to show weakness. To be honest, I also feel a little proud, don't you?"

Leng Feng shook his head resolutely. He couldn't be happy at all if he didn't break up his army, occupy the land, and incorporate the people.This is not a victory, only the real victory is achieved with real swords and guns, and only the carnival standing on the enemy's blood river is the real carnival.

Before this, nothing!

Li Shimin listened to the flattery and felt comfortable physically and mentally, so he took advantage of the situation and asked: "My dear friends, do you think it is acceptable to agree to the marriage?"

Yu Shinan hadn't stepped back yet, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, agree! Why don't you agree?"

Seeing Li Shimin nodding his head, Leng Feng finally couldn't help but stand up: "No! If you agree, let them send their princess over!"

Many people in the hundred officials were waiting for the emperor to discuss the choice of the princess for marriage. Now that they heard the voice of opposition, they couldn't help but follow the prestige.

Who is this boss?Why not agree?

Li Shimin was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of the voice, and when he saw clearly that it was Leng Feng, he couldn't help but dissatisfied and said: "Duke Xi, why didn't you agree? Although there are precedents for foreign princesses marrying far away in the Central Plains, there are not many of them! "

Leng Feng also frowned: "Don't you think that marrying the princess is an act of showing weakness? Why? Isn't it up to us to fight or not? Sending the princess out is basically a truce agreement. We Tang Dynasty needs this? "

Yu Shinan came over and patted Leng Feng on the shoulder: "Duke Xi, don't mess around, don't think about war every day. Now that the grassland has taken the initiative to seek peace, it is already a grand event. Why do you have to fight?"

Leng Feng moved his shoulders, shook Yu Shinan's hand, and continued: "It's a grand event for the grassland to take the initiative to seek peace? Why do I think it's a real event for them to surrender voluntarily and become obedient citizens of the Tang Dynasty? As long as the grassland takes the initiative to make peace, you will be satisfied ? If the Western Turks are stable and their soldiers are fat and strong, do you think they will not attack Datang for the sake of the princess?"

Not at all!In the Sui Dynasty, Xieli had made peace with him. Didn't Jieli still dream of invading the Central Plains all day long?
Chu Suiliang also came out and said, "Duke Yan, that's a matter of the future. Now Tuyuhun and Turkic are showing weakness. Let's celebrate. Isn't it wrong?"

"Of course there is a mistake!"

It was not Leng Feng who shouted loudly, but Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng stood up and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, be prepared for danger in times of peace! How can a small victory make you ecstatic? Turkic wolf ambition has always been a hungry wolf in the northern part of the Central Plains, and will bite whenever there is a chance. You Expecting a wolf with its tail down to wag its tail twice more like a domestic dog?"

When Li Shimin saw Wei Zheng coming out, he had a huge headache. When it comes to external issues, Wei Zheng is not like a literati, he has always maintained a tough attitude.

Now that Wei Zheng and Leng Feng are opposing together, it means that more than half of the court are opposing. After all, no matter what Leng Feng says, the generals of the military will support him.

As for the civil servants, Wei Zheng also brought his Yushitai to object.

"Duke Xi, what did you just say? That's what you said at the beginning."

"It's impossible to get married, if you want to get married, let them marry the princess!"

"Let them marry the princess?"

Li Shimin scratched his chin, it seems that it is really feasible?

Anyway, he recalled his daughter and felt that he would feel distressed if he sent anyone to be married.
