Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 278 Waving the flag for the ideal

The cold sweat couldn't resolve Cui Shixun's embarrassment, and Li Shimin's eyes gradually showed anger when he looked at him.

"Since all the ministers agree that what Cui Qing said is reasonable, then I will refuse..."

"Your Majesty, no, the old minister didn't think carefully just now, and the barbarians showed their surrender, which is to show our Tang Dynasty's national prestige and the monarch's benevolence. The minister was confused for a moment and didn't think of this festival. He deserves death."

It is very impolite to interrupt the emperor's speech in the court hall. People without background would never dare to do so. Sun Xiangfu was about to step forward to run on Cui Shixun, but Wei Zheng pulled his sleeves, and Xiao He said, "Just do your own thing well, the court should be a place with rules."

After all, Wei Zheng came out and played to Li Shimin with his hands on the board, "I impeach the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Cui Shixun, for his crime of indecency. Please give me your majesty's order."

Hearing this, Li Shimin on the dragon chair looked at Cui Shixun and said, "Can Cui Qing be convicted?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Shixun quickly bowed down and said, "I plead guilty."

"If I punish you with half a year's salary, are you convinced?"

"Your Majesty, Cui Shilang, as an official of the Ministry of Rites, committed a crime of disrespect. He should be punished with a half-year salary. The punishment is too light to serve the public."

Li Shimin had just finished asking, before Cui Shixun could answer, Wei Zheng spoke up immediately.

Usually, Wei Zheng choked Li Shimin quite a lot in court, but this time, Li Shimin was choked very comfortably.What's more, he said being polite, the official of the Ministry of Rites who is in charge of etiquette can still commit the crime of indecency, which should be added to the crime.

Sun Xiangfu, who was pulled over by Wei Zheng, now recalled that if he and Cui Shixun were arguing in the court like last time, then the result of the matter would probably be nothing, and Wei Zheng would come forward to bring the matter to an end. Cui Shixun's charges have been confirmed, and this Cui Shixun is completely finished. First of all, his actions today violated the overall policy set by the elders of each family, and the officials of the family line will not open their mouths to intercede for him.

Secondly, what Wei Zheng said was well-founded and there was no room for others to intercede. Then, Li Shimin could be punished boldly, which means that Wei Zheng used the court rules to help Li Shimin bear the pressure brought about by the dismissal of Cui Shixun.

Because everyone has seen that Wei Zheng forced Li Shimin to do this in the court.

What happened in just one or two minutes made Sun Xiangfu feel that all the people standing in the hall were not simple, and their political wisdom was full of leverage. At the same time, he also saw Wei Zheng more clearly. In terms of major issues, this person is really like a bright mirror in his heart, and he is unambiguous at all. He is more determined than Sun Xiangfu to fight against cancer like Cui Shixun that hinders the country's development.

"Wei Qing's words are reasonable, so I will suspend Cui Qing for the time being to reflect on it, Cui Qing, are you convinced?"

It's no wonder Cui Shixun is convinced. Originally, he just gritted his teeth at Sun Xiangfu, but now, he hates Wei Zheng even more. Don't look at Li Shimin's very kind words, suspend his job to reflect, ghosts know, this stop may stop forever .

However, he couldn't find a reason to argue for himself at all, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your tolerance, old minister."

After all, he gave Sun Xiangfu and Wei Zheng a vicious look, and walked out of the hall. For him, today's matter is not over yet. After returning, he will face interrogation from within the family. The situation may be worse than here Miserable, it was all because he saw his old enemy, and he felt so restless and irrational in his heart, and finally did an irrational thing.

After Cui Shixun walked out, Sun Xiangfu stood up again and said, "It is because there are too many idiots in the court who oppose for the sake of opposition, which leads to the slow development of this country and the lack of rapid development of the national economy. I just mentioned the conditions that Yi Nan proposed to the court, and some ministers representing the court have not mentioned the conditions that Yi Nan proposed to Yi Nan!"

"What conditions did Sun Aiqing ask Yi Nan, please tell me quickly."

With Sun Xiangfu's grade, he naturally deserves the title of Li Shimin's "Ai Qing". Of course, the two of them had a tacit understanding to perform in the court for a long time. Cui Shixun's place was just a little girl. episode.

"The minister first explained to Yi Nan the basic conditions for submitting to the Tang Dynasty."

Sun Xiangfu knew that when he said this, the princes in the court would definitely have doubts. When did the basic conditions for surrendering to the Tang Dynasty still exist?
It was Wei Zheng who jumped out first and asked, "Dudu Sun, when did my Great Tang formulate the basic conditions for surrender?"

"It's not formulated, but there are decrees! Let's write the decrees into clear rules and regulations."

Wei Zheng entered the role very quickly, he followed Sun Xiangfu's words and continued to ask, "What is the rule?"

"Of course, it's something that a foreign race did when they surrendered, begged to surrender, or took the initiative to surrender. Before Tuli begged to surrender, I, the Great Tang, took over its land and received its people. When Xieli was defeated and surrendered, I, the Great Tang, took over its land. To accept its people, the Uyghur tribe submitted a form to proclaim their ministers. My Tang Dynasty also accepted its land and received its people. Of course, for the leader of the beggar servant who took the initiative to surrender, he was rewarded with the title of two-word king.

So, can we draw a conclusion that no matter what method you use to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, accepting its land and accepting its people are the most basic conditions? "

It was said that all the princes in the court felt that what Sun Xiangfu said was reasonable, but was Yi Nan really willing to donate his land and population to Datang?
Soon, Wei Zheng asked this question.

Sun Xiangfu replied, "Of course I don't want to, but I don't object."

"I don't want to, don't object?"

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Yes, Yi Nan expressed his willingness to abide by the conditions I made temporarily, admitting that all the land currently controlled by Xue Yantuo's department is the inherent territory of our Tang Dynasty. He also admitted that the population controlled by Xue Yantuo's department is our Datang Citizens, it's just that these lands and populations, in fact, need to be handed over to him to manage."

Hearing this, the outspoken Yu Chigong interjected, "Isn't this the same as disobedience?"

"Hehe, Duke E doesn't know something, and the gap is huge. First of all, it has established my Datang's sovereignty over the land of Mobei. Yi Nan only manages this land on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. From now on, everything that happens in Mobei Things should all belong to the internal affairs of our Datang.

Second, did you notice the word 'citizen' I said?Its meaning is finally explained by me in the Tang Dynasty. If we issue an edict to give 'citizens' some civil rights, do you think Yinan will listen? "

"Civil rights?"

Now not only Yu Chigong, but even Li Shimin was a little confused. Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Sun Xiangfu in the whole court, waiting for his explanation.

"It's very simple. First of all, we need to make a rule that, except for His Majesty, no one shall deprive citizens of their basic living conditions. What is this basic living condition? It's just food and clothing to survive.

On this point, Yi Nan will probably not object, because Xue Yantuo's population is his people, and he wished that his people would have no worries about food and clothing! "

"Then, later on, let's stipulate that no one, except His Majesty who has the power to kill, is not allowed to kill my Datang citizens at will.

If Yi Nan listens to this point, he will not be able to hold the power of life and death in Xue Yantuo. If he does not listen, the population under his control may oppose him.

Because no one wants to die, especially those thorns who make mistakes and make troubles. We do this to give them a reason to survive after making mistakes. "

"After that..."

"Wait a minute, Sun Aiqing. With just these two items, I feel that I can accept the performance of Yi Nan as a vassal. As for the 'citizen' you mentioned, I think there are many things that need to be improved. Let's talk about it later, and you can talk about it." , I accept the regulations after Xue Yantuo's surrender!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, who is extremely intelligent, felt that the strategy of "citizens" mentioned by Sun Xiangfu is very maneuverable, and the routine is very simple. Divorce and deviance, when some rules go down, Yinan will face very troublesome problems if he listens or not, but Datang, to win the hearts of the people of Xue Yantuo, only needs to rely on his mouth to flicker, flicker to death.

Of course, these operations should not be announced to the public now, and should be carried out after he and several confidant ministers discuss a set of methods.

Sun Xiangfu knew early in the morning that Li Shimin would stop, so he changed the subject, "After Yinan yearned for the Tang dynasty, His Majesty will allow him to establish a khanate according to the agreement. It is best to make his younger sister Dongzhu a princess. In this way, in terms of seniority, Your Majesty, you are one level higher than Yi Nan, which also means that my Tang Dynasty is one level higher than Xue Yantuo.

In addition, the imperial court will help Yinan build a tooth tent in Mobei, that is, a city not smaller than Shanyang City..."

"The scale is not smaller than Shanyang?"

Even though most of the many officials in the court did not go to Shanyang, they have heard that there are many words describing the strength and wealth of Shanyang City. As for how much money the court needs to spend to build such a city on the Mobei grassland, there is only one It's a huge concept, so when they heard Sun Xiangfu's words, everyone's heart beat up and they started talking about it. The court is poor now!Haven't been paid for months.

Sun Xiangfu glanced at the ministers and said, "Masters, do you think that the construction of a big city in Mobei will cost so much that the imperial court cannot afford it?"

"Exactly, it costs so much to build a city, especially in the bitter cold area of ​​Mobei, at least a million dollars. If the imperial court spends millions of dollars in order to gain a false name, it will not be worth the candle."

This time, not only Wei Zheng, but even Changsun Wuji also jumped out to speak. He just took over the household department, but he knew that in the national treasury, rats could starve to death now, and the imperial court had no money for such a big project.

"Hehe, Changsun Shangshu is too worried. Although I invested a little at the beginning when I built Shanyang, but now, not only have I recovered the money I invested, but I have also earned a lot of money. Moreover, it is not us who helped Xue Yantuo build the city. All the funds are paid, we only do the work and take care of the construction, and the materials and land needed for the construction are provided by Yinan himself."

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's explanation, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty remembered that Sun Zhengming had been in Shuozhou for more than a year, but he really didn't ask the court for a penny, but the big Shanyang City was built by him , Now, Shanyang was drawn out from Shuozhou and became the administrative seat of the Anbei Dadu Protectorate. It also did not ask the court for a penny, and settled the entire site with a population of several 10.Moreover, he also supported an army of more than 3 people, with more than [-] horses, and did not ask the court for a penny.As for the nearly one million head of cattle and sheep, and the final payment of the land payment, they can cover the taxes of Datang for several years.

Many courtiers who have recognized this reality are now very puzzled, can the country really be governed like Sun Xiangfu?
Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Sun Xiangfu said again, "I want Xue Yantuo to return to his heart. I feel that the most important thing is to integrate their culture and change their living habits to be the same as our Han people. Therefore, help them build cities. This is just the first step. I also suggest that Your Majesty should vigorously support the cultural propaganda industry. It is best to give credit and rewards to those who have made outstanding contributions, and break some unnecessary discrimination in status. These are the bad habits of the Han people. Continuing to exist has disadvantages but no benefits.

As for how to support the development of cultural propaganda, I think there are many aspects.

A scholar, if his poems and essays can be liked by all foreigners, and thus fall in love with the Chinese characters of our Han people, then this scholar has meritorious service and should be rewarded, because this will make those foreigners admire and learn the beauty of my Han family. The words, poems, and the thoughts expressed in the poems.

An actor, if her singing and dancing can be liked by all foreigners and fall in love with the songs and dances of our Han people, then this actor is meritorious and should be rewarded, because this will make those foreigners admire and learn from our Han people. With the beautiful language of the family, it becomes even more indistinguishable from us.

If Hu people write the same characters and speak the same language as us, then what is the difference between them and us?When they are indistinguishable from us, the millennium war fought on the frontier is over forever. "

Now that he has said it, Sun Xiangfu intends to say a little more. Whether it works or not is one thing. At least, he has to wave the flag for his own ideals, but he and Li Shimin can't always be hiding secretly Play and let more people join in to accomplish more things.

However, what he didn't expect was that many people in the court came out to Li Shimin at this time and said, "I feel that Dudu Sun's words are justified."

Sun Xiangfu saw that Changsun Wuji was at the forefront of the civil servants' team, and this guy was a descendant of the Xianbei ethnic group. Moreover, there were many officials with foreign blood in the court. In a short while, more than one-third of the officials in the court jumped out to support him, which is a good sign.

　A [-]-word chapter, please ask for a monthly ticket. This month is relatively short, and the end of the month is only a few days away. The number of votes is a lot worse than last month. You know, breaking the record of last month, there is an addition.
