Not to mention all the ministers in the main hall, even Li Yuan was puzzled.

This Luo Cheng is the candidate proposed by Li Jiancheng yourself. Now that it has been decided, why do you have anything to say? Is it just like the previous "menstrual incident" incident, which was just a joke made by His Highness the Crown Prince?

Luo Cheng looked nervous. He didn't dare to blame Li Jiancheng. He could only pray in his heart that what Li Jiancheng just said was not a joke.

"Haha, I have no plans to change the selection of pioneers. I just have some things to add."

"call!"

Luo Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Li Jiancheng with a resentful look, "Your Highness, please don't scare me with Jiang Zi. The Lun family is too cautious to withstand threats."

As for what Li Jiancheng wanted to add, Luo Cheng didn't care, as long as it didn't hinder his idea of ​​proposing marriage.

The reason Luo Cheng is worried about losing his position as a pioneer is that he will be too embarrassed to come to propose marriage. Sigh!

"The prince has something to say, but it doesn't matter!"

Li Yuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was also afraid that Li Jiancheng would say, "What the prince said before was just a joke."

Li Yuan still has some understanding of his son's character, and Li Jiancheng really dares to do it.

"In that case, I'll tell you what I said." Li Jiancheng's wise eyes swept over the ministers, and then he said calmly: "In this campaign against the Turks, I intend to pacify the north in one fell swoop and bring peace to our Central Plains.

From now on, the common people will no longer suffer the disasters caused by the nomads in the north!"

"hiss!"

In an instant, the entire hall was filled with the sound of gasping air, followed by unprecedented silence.

No one could have imagined that Li Jiancheng, who spoke in such a plain tone, would actually express such a grand and lofty idea, "The North will be decided in one battle"!

Throughout history, who hasn’t thought this way?

Qin Shihuang, the ancient emperor who built the Great Wall, had just unified the Central Plains in 221 BC. He heard that the northern border was being frequently harassed by the Xiongnu and was invading the south. At that time, the Qin State was unified, people were calm, and the army and the people were war-weary.

, but Qin Shihuang boldly ordered General Meng Tian to lead his troops to "explore Rongdi from the north" and recover the Hetao area.

In 215 B.C., Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 capable of conquering and fighting, and killed the Huns until they were on their backs and scattered across the grassland. The following year, Meng Tian even led an army to kill the Huns, who fled more than 700 miles north.

Later, if Qin Shihuang hadn't died of a sudden illness and the Mengtian family died due to Zhao Gao's misfortune, the Huns would have been pacified long ago.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who followed Qin Shihuang, also pursued and attacked the Huns fiercely, and as a result, he created famous generals who will be famous throughout the ages.

Li Guang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others are familiar with it, but unfortunately they still failed to solve the problem of the nomadic people in the north.

Later, Cao Cao, who was "a capable minister in governing the world and a tycoon in troubled times", also had great ambitions and intended to expel the Hu barbarians. However, at the time when Cao Cao was living, the Central Plains was in chaos and the heroes were divided, so how could he focus on attacking the Barbarians?

All of them had great ambitions to expel the Huru, but none of them succeeded.

Therefore, when Li Jiancheng proposed such an idea, the officials were shocked at first, but then they felt that it was impossible to do it. How many people in ancient and modern times wanted to do this but failed, could Li Jiancheng have done it?

Li Yuan also had this idea at the beginning, but soon he thought about the issue of dealing with Tuyuhun. With the two plans of "one country, two systems" and "returning native land to local people" that Li Jiancheng once proposed, wouldn't the problem of the northern nomads be easily solved?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan felt that the blood all over his body was boiling.

The achievement of pacifying the northern peoples may not be as good as unifying the whole country. How many emperors have accomplished this kind of thing like unifying the Central Plains in the past and present?

Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan, etc., all have unified the world, but they have not solved the troublesome place in the north. But now, Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has a chance

Isn't it exciting to surpass them and achieve what they can't achieve?

Although many ministers also knew about the two plans of "one country, two systems" and "returning native land to local people", due to the limitations of the times, they could not understand the deeper meaning. Only Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Pei Ji and others explained it under Li Jiancheng

Only then can I roughly understand it.

So, no wonder they thought Li Jiancheng couldn't do it.

Li Yuan quickly adjusted his mood after getting excited. The pacification of the north will definitely go down in history, so their meeting today may be written down by historians. And his words and deeds as the founding emperor of the Tang Empire naturally attracted much attention.

Of course he has to look calm.

"The prince's idea is very good. I wonder if there is any specific implementation plan?"

Li Yuan is indeed an actor who was deeply influenced by Li Jiancheng. In just an instant, he calmed down and his face showed an unfathomable expression.

Hey!

Many ministers were confused. Looking at His Majesty the Emperor's expression, it seemed that he thought His Highness the Crown Prince's proposal was feasible? Could it be that there was some unknown inside story in it? Maybe His Highness the Crown Prince could really achieve this step that no one before him could do?

The ministers naturally hoped that Li Jiancheng could pacify the north. As officials of the Tang Empire, they were honored and could not be remembered. It was also an opportunity to honor their ancestors and make their names famous throughout the ages.

Thinking of this, all the ministers immediately looked as calm as Li Yuan.

Although Li Jiancheng is very evil, he never expected that these ministers would suddenly become excellent actors because they wanted to be famous.

If he knew what the ministers were thinking, he would probably despise them.

Li Jiancheng flicked his sleeves, clenched his left fist in front of him, looked up at the hall, and said in a low voice with his magnetic voice: "I have preliminary ideas about the plan, and there may be some unreasonable things in it.

I also ask Father and all the adults to give you some suggestions after listening to this."

After finishing speaking, he immediately started explaining without giving anyone else time to speak.

"The pacification of the north this time will definitely take a long time and cost a huge amount of food and salary. Even if the generous donations from all your lords are made, I am afraid that they will not be able to support this operation. Therefore, I propose that the money confiscated from the five great families not long ago be taken away.

One-half is used as food and salary. The remaining one-half is temporarily placed in the national treasury to prepare for emergencies."

Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, many ministers cursed in their hearts. There is so much money in love, so they even jumped out to donate money happily.

You know, the properties of the five major families have been accumulated for hundreds of years, which shows how wealthy they are.

Perhaps, even if the money donated by everyone in the main hall is less than one-half of others. Of course, the ministers did not dare to express the abuse in their hearts.
