In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 173 Father and Son Divide the Loot

Li Ke frowned and said: "Father, let alone, I really don't want to let them go, but now it seems that there is no other way."

Li Shimin smiled, and said earnestly: "Ke'er! As a man, you must have a heart! It's just a misunderstanding, there's no need to hold on to him."

Li Ke said speechlessly: "Father, you misunderstood. I didn't blame them for this incident."

Li Shimin was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Li Ke said: "Father, can you guess the purpose of these people coming this time?"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "If my guess is correct, they should want to come to our Datang to study, right?"

Li Ke was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Father, do you know?"

Li Shimin said speechlessly: "What's so strange about this? Isn't it normal for these foreign barbarians to come to learn the culture of our Heavenly Kingdom?"

Li Ke asked: "Then how do you plan to deal with it?"

Li Shimin said: "If they want to learn, let them learn. What does it matter? As long as they are willing to become our Tang Dynasty's vassal state, then teach them. Only in this way can we show our magnanimity as a kingdom of heaven. !"

Li Ke pointed at Li Shimin and said, "A sinner through the ages."

Li Shimin was taken aback: "Stinky boy, what do you mean?"

Li Ke said: "Father, you don't understand this race! This is an inferior race. This race is brave and ruthless. It is a natural bandit, and all the elements of bandits flow in its body.

They don't know how to be grateful, and only blindly worship strength. Once they have strength, they love to invade others.

In their view, there is no method in the world that can get wealth faster than robbery.

Father, let such a race have strength.Do you think it is a good thing for us Datang? "

Li Shimin frowned suddenly, and asked, "How do you know them so well?"

Li Ke said with a smile: "What kind of eyes are I? The eyes of the most noble blood in history, the people I have seen with these eyes are almost indistinguishable from each other.

The most important thing is, no matter whether he is good or not, we must not have the heart of harming others, and the heart of guarding against others, we can't do without it, right? "

Li Shimin said speechlessly: "Boy, I admit that what you said is reasonable. But it can't be so, it's separated by a vast ocean!"

Li Ke shook his head and said: "Father, we have to look farther when we look at things. Creativity is limitless.

Why did these beasts come all the way here to learn something? The purpose is to conquer the sea.

Once they conquer the sea, will they spare us?Yes, I admit, you don't need to be afraid of them when you are around, and they may not dare to mess with you.

But what about when you're gone?When the time comes when your children and grandchildren are in power but are bullied by them, will they hate you to death?
Not to mention later.In the days to come, will all those who are bullied by these people put the blame on you, father?You said, is it too much for me to say sinners through the ages? "

"His..."

Li Shimin couldn't help but gasped.

If it weren't for Li Ke's reminder, he really planned to let them learn at will, and he also planned to teach them well.

Teach the younger brother to be a man, this is what it should be.The most important thing is that this forced pretending is quite cool.

However, after listening to Li Ke's words, Li Shimin felt uncomfortable at all.

"No, Ke'er, if they agree to become our vassal state, we don't agree to their condition, doesn't it seem reasonable?"

Li Ke said: "Why should they become our vassal states? There are many countries vying to be our Tang Dynasty's younger brother, how old is his little Japanese pirate?

Dad, I have to talk about you here.In exchanges between countries, one should never talk about face, but about interests.

We are determined not to do things that are not beneficial.Why teach them?It's not good to work hard.right?

Besides, what's the use of having him as a little brother?In addition to helping them, we still have to help them. It’s not that we have so much money that we have no place to spend it. In Datang, many people still can’t get enough to eat!What are you doing with a younger brother? "

Li Shimin was silent.

There is no doubt that many people in the court will jump out and say that they will teach them.

To put it bluntly, it was vanity and face at work.

We are the kingdom of heaven, and the little brother came to beg us to come, how could we not help?

What will Li Shimin say then?
disagree?At that time, people should say that you, the Heavenly Khan of the Kingdom of Heaven, have no heart and no structure.

How can Li Shimin pull this face off?

Not to mention, this matter is really difficult.

As a person of later generations, Li Ke could see his thoughts at a glance.

Said: "Father, actually, you don't need to be so embarrassing. The court is the same, many things are the result of profit-driven results. What are these little pirates doing with two boxes of gold?

There is no doubt that those officials must have been bribed, otherwise, who would want to stand up for them?
Of course, there are also some face-saving people who speak for them.But Dad, you don't have to worry about this, we Datang have a lot to teach them!
For example, teach them Buddhism, teach them Taoism, and persuade them to be kind!No matter how bad it is, you can teach them to dance, write and write poems, right?
These are the cultures of our Tang Dynasty.Just don't teach them production and military stuff. "

Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes lit up.That's right, wouldn't it be enough to teach those useless things?

Suddenly thinking about it, it feels wrong again.

"No, it doesn't seem good to teach them how to write and write poems, right?"

No wonder Li Shimin thought so.

In this era, it is the trend to dance with ink and write poems.Even the imperial examinations are tested on this thing.If you teach them, what's the point?

Li Ke said solemnly: "That's right, knowing Chinese characters is really important. But dancing, writing poems and lyrics are not very useful in my opinion.

What is the use of these things other than showing off your literary talents?No matter how beautiful the poem is, can it be produced?Can you fight?
Of course, the existence of every culture has its certain function, and I do not deny this.What I want to say is that as long as they don't teach them the culture of being able to produce and fight wars, it will be fine. "

Li Shimin nodded, finally turning his mind around.

He suddenly asked, "What did you say just now? You said that those two boxes of gold were going to be used by them to bribe those officials?"

Li Ke nodded and said: "Ninety percent of this is the case, but don't worry, if the money is in my hands, how can there be any reason to return it?
Dad, you said that when you met them, you said that I took their money and came to speak for them, and you listened to my words and decided to agree to teach them something.

In this way, did the money come to me logically? "

Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "It's possible, but the money has to be sent to me."

Li Ke said decisively: "No, fifty-fifty, half for each person."
