Chapter 88

"Second brother, the problem of the little fifteen Xinxing princess has been solved, now I will discuss another problem with you." After Li Cha finished laughing, his face straightened and he said seriously.

"What do you want to discuss with the second brother? The second brother listens better." Li Shimin said.

"Second brother, who can tell the difference between soft bones and hard bones? Then let me tell you the difference between soft bones and hard bones."

"The same external environment is faced with foreign invasions. In order to maintain his rule, the monarch of a country cede land, pay compensation, and pay tribute, and at the same time send a princess to marry him."

"But the other country doesn't cede land, doesn't pay compensation, and doesn't make peace. As long as you dare to come, I will dare to fight, even if there are only one soldier left. Second brother, what do you mean by soft bones and what are hard bones?"

"Third brother, let's get over it now. The second brother was just a stopgap measure before, why did the second brother become the weak bone in your mouth to cut land and pay compensation? Even if it is a real marriage, it is still a victory and then send a clan Just go and appease me. It's not like what you said."

"Second brother, don't you understand that the appetites of those foreign invaders will never be full? The years of lingering in exchange for land and indemnities and relatives can only speed up the speed of the country's demise. The royal family's spine is gone, and you still count on the army Have backbone?" Li Shimin said with a white look at Li Cha.

"It seems that the second brother is a sensible person. Aren't you indistinguishable between soft bones and hard bones?" Li Cha teased Li Shimin.

"Go! Is this the same thing? I don't even understand the reason. I'm still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I just find a place to farm." Li Shimin replied in a bad mood.

"What the second brother said is that the world was brought down by the second brother. Naturally, the second brother can't even see through this point. Chengqian probably can understand it, because he has been studying foreign races, and he only wants to lead Soldiers fight."

"But what if the second brother is replaced by a pheasant slave? In the future, will the successors of our Tang Dynasty understand this truth? Can they really understand it?" Li Cha asked.

"Hahaha, third brother, you are worrying too much. Anyone who has led soldiers and fought against foreigners knows this truth. And you really think that the emperor alone has the final say in such a big country. There is a reason for the marriage , As for land cession and compensation, that is basically impossible." Li Shimin laughed and said that Li Cha was too worried.

"Hehe, is that right? Second brother, I really admire your self-confidence a lot. You can only guarantee yourself. How can you guarantee future generations? Sometimes you can't even guarantee yourself." There was a trace of contempt in Li Cha's tone.

"Come on, second brother, I'm fine today anyway, so I'll discuss a problem with you calmly."

"Oh? What's the problem?" Li Shimin asked.

"The past and the future, the direction of history." Li Cha replied.

"Second brother, I have always known that since the moment you forced your father to abdicate, you have determined to be an emperor through the ages like Emperor Qin and Han Wu. So now I ask you, if your marriage plan has been perfectly completed The mission has given Datang five years of development time, what will you do?"

"Then do you still have to ask? When the national power and military power of the Great Tang reach their peak, I will realize the bold words of General Chen Tang of the Han Dynasty: Anyone who violates our prosperous Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away. As long as you dare to invade my Great Tang , I dare to destroy your country." Li Shimin's words were sonorous and powerful.

"Why must they invade my Great Tang before my Great Tang can destroy their country?" Li Cha asked rhetorically.

"Third brother, this is the ancestral motto of our ancestors. We Han people pay attention to a teacher who is famous for his work. This kind of thinking has already penetrated into the bones of our Han people. I want to take the initiative to attack, but the court Chinese minister will never allow me to do so. .” Li Shimin replied.

"This is the disadvantage of Confucianism in governing the country. Are they well-known as teachers when they invaded our Tang Dynasty? How much harm has the so-called moderation, the so-called justice, and the so-called mind caused to the majority of our Han people?"

"Do you know why those foreigners dared to invade the border of our Tang Dynasty again and again, and robbed our people in the Tang Dynasty? Isn't it as long as they surrender, admit their mistakes, and pay tribute, you will forgive them. If you lose, you just need to admit your mistakes. , so they will be afraid? What we need is to scare them once, so that they don't dare to covet my Datang." Li Cha said.

"Why don't I want to, but you know the fact that the power of the aristocratic family is still too strong, and I have to rely on them to help me govern the country. They always have a way to stop some of my ideas. After all, I am not alone in this country. Calculated."

"Actually, what I really want is not: Anyone who violates our prosperous Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away."

"But wherever the sun and moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers go, it is all Han land. Wherever my Tang cavalry steps, it is all king land."

Now Li Shimin can only express his depression by shouting loudly.

"Hahaha, this is my proud second brother. Don't let the aristocratic family restrain your pride. They won't be around for a few years. When the college students graduate a few batches, we will let them be safe Let’s be rich, let them not get involved in the country’s affairs. But, second brother, do you know where your words came from?”

Li Shimin shouted loudly, and Li Cha was also emotionally carried away, laughing loudly.

"Testing your second brother, everything that the sun and moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers go, is all Han soil. It comes from the "Han Xuandi Dinghu Inscription". Second brother still has this knowledge." Li Shimin laughed.

"No, second brother, what you said is wrong. This sentence came from the mouth of the First Emperor, and the original words are like this: forehead, forehead, all forehead! Hahahaha." Li Cha laughed again.

"Hahaha, forehead, forehead, all foreheads! Hahaha." Li Shimin was also amused by Li Cha.The gloomy atmosphere before dissipated.

"Second brother, the first emperor was not governed by Confucianism at that time. There was no such thing as a just war, and there was no such thing as having a heart for the world. He took what he wanted. We also need the same."

"Second brother, do you still remember the request I made to you two years ago when I promised to become king?" Li Cha asked.

"Remember, you said at that time that three years later, you would want my military power in Datang." Li Shimin remembered it clearly.

"Yes, I want the military power of Datang from you, and I want to lead troops to conquer. I want to give Datang an extremely stable external environment, and I want to lead troops to fight. I'll see which aristocratic family dares to stop me."

"Hahaha, third brother, you are the only one who has the confidence to say such a thing. Anyone else would have been eaten alive by such a family long ago. Only you, Li Yuanba, have the qualifications to say that. But, third brother, are you like this? Too tired. The second brother has seen what you have done for Datang in the past two years, and the second brother feels distressed, so let's take a rest." Li Shimin said with tenderness in his eyes.

"Tired? Take a break? Second brother. I don't dare. If you learn from the past and take history as a mirror, haven't you discovered a common sense?"

"Oh, what common sense?" Li Shimin asked.
