Cui Zhizheng's suggestion did not receive full support from Chen Zhengtai, and he couldn't help feeling unhappy.

However, at least the goal of letting the lord of Gaochang come to the court is the same.

Therefore, he was not vague and said goodbye from the Chen family and got on the four-wheeled carriage. For this matter, it was time for the Cui family to go on a 1/2 event.

When the four-wheeled carriage passed through the crowded shops, the shops of ready-made clothes and cloth were crowded with shops.

Cui Zhi was sitting in the car, looking at the shop surrounded by people in front of the door, and his heart was reunited. He thought that he was in the sea of ​​cotton, and the members were picking cotton happily. As long as the people were still there, they had to wear clothes. As long as the people were still wearing clothes, then cotton would always be valuable.

So, Cui Zhizheng became anxious.

On that day, someone asked the Lord of Gaochang to come to court.

After reading the memorial, Li Shimin immediately approved it after reading it.

This is just a trivial matter for Li Shimin and nothing.

What's more, Gaochang State was indeed disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty before, but after the Turks were completely eliminated and the Tang Dynasty began to obtain Hexi, Gaochang State began to become frightened.

At this time, the commander of Gaochang Kingdom to come to the court was a strategy of beating.

Li Shimin issued an edict. When the court discussed that day, a discussion occurred in the palace because it involved the issue of Gaochang State.

There was a man named Li Ruyi in the Censorate who couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, I heard that there were a large number of surrendered Turks outside the pass, who were slaves in Shuofang and Xining. Now, Your Majesty summoned the Lord of Gaochang to pay tribute. Seeing that the Turks were so miserable, this Gaochang State would definitely not dare to come to Chang'an. You might as well treat the Turks well at this time, and place these Turkish prisoners in Hebei and share them with land! In this way, the Turks would be grateful to Your Majesty and would never rebel again. If the Lord of Gaochang learned that Your Majesty was so kind, he would be happy to come to Chang'an to pay tribute to Your Majesty. In this way, with a gentle and distant person, the world would be settled."

These words... make sense.

The Turkic prisoners are now slaves, which will definitely make Gaochang feel scared. Therefore, if you want to obey all directions, you naturally need to treat the Turks well.

A few years ago, many people died due to war and the land was deserted. A large number of Turkic people outside the pass could be placed in, farmed land, found their Turkic royal family, and given them hereditary official positions. When these other people saw the Tang Dynasty, even the Turkic people were willing to treat them well, so naturally, they were willing to come and pay homage.

Li Shimin was obviously quite moved.

However, there was some embarrassment in the court. After all, Li Ruyi Kang was the slander of others, allowing the Chen family to release slaves.

At this moment, Wei Zheng, the Minister of Finance, slowly stood up and said seriously: "This is a bad saying. The Turkic people are not in our race. The strong will be robbers, and the weak will be humble and ignorant. They are of nature. Your Majesty lives in the mainland, and now there are several to hundreds of thousands of people who surrender. If they are all placed, they will gather and live together. After a few years, they will have more than twice as much as they are in my elbows and armpits. The disease of the heart and confidant will be a disaster. How can the court put our Tang Dynasty in the so-called kindness and righteousness?"

Wei Zheng seemed very angry.

Although he was the Minister of Finance, he should not have been in charge of this matter, but in history, Wei Zheng had always had some prejudices about some national policies of the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing this, Li Ruyi couldn't help but say, "The emperor is all things, and the sky is covered by the earth. If anyone returns to me, he will definitely support me. Now that the Turks have been broken, I will submit my support. Your Majesty does not give him mercy, abandon him and not accept him. It is not the way of heaven and earth, and it is not the way of the four barbarians. I am very stupid and say it is impossible to live in Hebei. It is said that he will live in death, survive in death, and he will live in my heart. He will never rebel. The Prince of Wei regards them as a great trouble. If everyone is as Prince of Wei said, who will surrender?"

Wei Zheng had a tense face and retorted without hesitation: "During the Wei Dynasty, the Hu tribes lived in nearby counties. Jiang Tong wanted to persuade the emperor to expel them from the border. Emperor Wu of Jin did not use his words. A few years later, he would disrupt the land of Luo. This was the previous generation's overthrow of the car, and the lessons of the truth were not far away. If Your Majesty obeyed Li Ruyi's words and sent the Turks to Hebei, it would be said that raising animals will cause trouble."

Wei Zheng began to quote classics.

Li Ruyi obviously felt that Wei Zheng was a little over-concerned.

Is it true that you, Wei Zheng, can use allusions?

So he said with a sigh: "I heard that the sages are all-round. The Turkic souls returned to me with their orders, lived in the mainland, taught them to be etiquette and law, selected their chiefs, sent them to guard their guards, fearing their power and virtue. What troubles do you have? Moreover, Guangwu lived in Shanyu, Henan, and thought that they were the Han vassals, and finally did not rebel. Emperor Wen of Sui sent troops, spent warehouses, established Khan, and ordered his country to be restored. Later, he was lonely and broken his trust and besieged Emperor Yang in Yanmen. Now his Majesty is kind, and he follows his wishes, Henan and Hebei, and he has his own chiefs, and they are not in charge of their respective responsibilities. How can he harm him? The Prime Minister of Wei exclaimed and regarded the Turkic as a beast, and was narrow-minded, so what is it?"

If you Wei Zheng took the example of Emperor Wu of Jin, even if I, Li Ruyi, will not quote the classics, I can give the example of Emperor Guangwu.

At this time, someone stood up, but Du Chuke was the one who gave the case. Obviously, he supported Wei Zheng.

He said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the people in the Northern Di faces and beasts are hard to be virtuous and easy to be impartial. Now that his tribe is scattered in Hebei and approaches China, he will suffer from a long time. The barbarians will not inflict chaos on China. The former philosophers will clearly teach, survive and die, and make a general rule. I am afraid that if I don't follow the ancients, it will be difficult for me to last."

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a headache when he listened to everyone's constant arguments, and hesitated.

Li Ruyi was argued and couldn't help but become angry and embarrassed, so she couldn't help but say, "Mr. Wei said this to you, Chen Zhengtai, your mentor, because these Turks are slaves outside the pass, and are you reluctant to release these Turkic slaves?"

You're welcome enough! This is a direct point of direct meaning to Wei Zheng's selfishness.

As the saying goes, since I cannot use morality to influence you, I might as well accuse you of personal morality.

This is the most commonly used method in court debates.

Wei Zheng was furious.

The ministers looked at each other, but many people were disgusted with Li Ruyi.

You, Li Ruyi, can discuss politics well, but you just want to pull others into the water.

Today's court discussion, Luange Order Li Xiurong and Luange's servant Wu Yu all need to participate. They couldn't help but feel cold in their pretty faces at this time.

Wei Zheng was naturally not easy to bully, not to mention that he was originally a good person, and immediately said with great sensibility: "The Chinese people are the fundamentals of the world. People of the four barbarians are still in the branches and leaves, disturbing their roots to thicken their branches and leaves, and seeking long-term peace. How can they last? Since ancient times, the sage kings have transformed China into trust and controlled barbarians for power. Therefore, the Spring and Autumn Annals say: "The wolf and wolves of Rong Di should not be disgusted; the intimacy of summers should not be abandoned." With the rent and taxes of China, they should provide evil and evil captives, and their populations will be perfunctory, and the population will increase day by day. It is not China's benefit, and it will inevitably cause chaos. What Li Xianggong said is just the words of corrupt scholars. Did the Tang Dynasty surrender to the Turks with kindness?"

"At that time, it was my Tang army who fought desperately to defeat them, and today was the present. By giving people land, enthroning their official positions, and giving them money, they could surrender. This is something I have never heard of. The strategies for Hu have been successful in history, just like Qin Shihuang attacking the Northern Hu and Emperor Wu of Han expelling the Huns, and the four realms are stable, and the kindness and rewards are definitely not a long-term way. However, Li Xianggong pointed out that the ministers have selfish intentions. I have always discussed things, and what is involved in today is the fundamental affairs of the country. How can I have selfishness?"

After hearing this, Li Ruyi was dissatisfied and wanted to continue arguing, but she saw Wei Zheng angry and couldn't say anything else.

It’s just that obviously, this debate is actually a microcosm of the entire temple.

In terms of foreign policies, there are many people like Wei Zheng, and people like Li Ruyi are also popular.

This confrontation was just a small conflict.

As for Li Shimin, he obviously has his own opinion.

To a certain extent, Li Shimin wanted to learn from Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Guangwu.

This is actually understandable. Emperor Wu of Han is strong, but to some extent, his foreign policy requires constant wars, and even now, Emperor Wu of Han is not well-known.

On the contrary, Emperor Guangwu was praised by later generations and had greater appeal to Li Shimin.

But... Li Shimin was still quite hesitant, or in other words, the situation had changed. If the Chen family had not begun to gain a foothold outside the pass, Li Shimin might have adopted the opinions of people like Li Ruyi without hesitation. After all, it is so attractive that people surrender with benevolence and righteousness that are far greater than using war to surrender to others.

Isn’t it amazing that others can’t do things, Li Shimin, can I do it?

After all, Li Shimin has proved his outstanding ability in military affairs. He actually doesn't really value this kind of conquest. It's like someone gets full marks in sports, so of course he would want to review Chinese.

What he is pursuing now is the moral integrity of literature and martial arts.

But now the situation has changed drastically, and he cannot strictly order Chen Zhengtai to release Turkic slaves. After all, Chen Zhengtai is his own person.

Therefore, Li Shimin naturally would not express his attitude at this time. At this time, any statement may encourage the court officials to continue to controversy.

So this debate ended in vain.

Wei Zheng still seemed furious. He had no intention of working at the Ministry of Finance today. Although the Ministry of Finance has just been established and all matters of all sizes need to be handled by Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng had something to do, so he was determined to go to see Chen Zhengtai immediately after going to court.

When he arrived at the Prince's Mansion and met his mentor in his study, Wei Zheng went straight to the point and told him about the matter in the court.

[Receive red envelopes after reading books] Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp], and you can get a maximum of 888 cash red envelopes after reading books!

In fact, Chen Zhengtai should have attended today's court meeting, but he thought that it seemed that the court had himself and no one was the same, not to mention that his wife had already participated in the court meeting, so the whole family could not go to court in a neat way. Even if he grew up in the future and was granted an official position, it would be amazing. The whole family stood there together, which was really unpredictable.

At this time, Wei Zheng was still angry and said angrily to Chen Zhengtai: "If it were as Li Ruyi said, China was in danger and death in front of him, it was really worrying."

Chen Zhengtai reacted calmly and said calmly: "Don't be angry first. This is just a mere censor, what harm can it cause."

Wei Zheng looked at Chen Zhengtai deeply and then said, "The one who came out today is a censor. Although this censor is just like this, has his mentor ever thought about why a mere censor dared to be so arrogant? It was just that he said what many people in the court wanted to say. I wonder what his mentor thinks about this?"

"I don't have any opinion." Chen Zhengtai said: "But you are my disciple, and I support everything you say."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but be speechless!

Is there any difference between answering this or not?

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "I am interested in interests. If I also say you are right, others will say that I am just because I am reluctant to release the Turkic slaves, saying that I am greedy for money. Anyway, everything I say is wrong. If these people study history in the future, they will still mock and ridicule me."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh and said, "That's how people remember to eat but not beat them. How long has the disaster of the Hu people been, people can't remember it anymore. Turning around, they began to talk about benevolence and righteousness again. If their benevolence and righteousness are useful, why is there bloodstains in history?"

In everyone's opinion, Wei Zheng is a person who loves to quote classics and likes to debate with others.

In fact, the reason why Wei Zheng was famous for his mouth was not as imagined by the Qingliu people in later generations, but his insightful views.

Therefore, many people in later generations followed Wei Zheng and kept saying that they wanted to speak up for justice, but the truth was superficial and ridiculous.

But I completely forgot that the premise of speaking up for justice is that in addition to the ink in your stomach, you also have to have the ability to understand things.

In fact, most of the things Wei Zheng opposed were actually confirmed by history, and it was finally concluded that he was right, so people admired him.

It’s not because Wei Zheng was so polite and was polite.

Chen Zhengtai sighed and said, "The reason why the people Xuancheng mentioned can talk about benevolence and righteousness is that Ye Gong is just a good dragon. If they really send them outside the pass for a few years, they will be honest. Okay, don't worry, I have to do this."

Wei Zheng nodded, as if he was quite confident in Chen Zhengtai, so he smiled and said, "I'm too worried. Yes, will my mentor attack Gaochangguo?"

"What?" Chen Zhengtai looked at Wei Zheng in surprise: "Where did you hear it?"

"It's not that I heard that someone wrote a letter early in the morning to ask the Lord of Gaochang to come to pay tribute. The person who wrote the letter was an old official of the Cui family. I thought of the Cui family and thought carefully that the Cui family and the Chen family are now outside the pass. Now the Cui family in Qinghe is based in Hexi. Now, this sudden action is happening, and it must have been discussed with my mentor in advance."

Chen Zhengtai was also convinced. With just a little detail, this guy could see through the matter. He really couldn't hide anything from Wei Zheng. Chen Zhengtai had already mentioned Wei Zheng as his confidant, and this was his right-hand man, so he didn't hide it: "There is indeed such a plan. Gaochang Kingdom is located in the Western Regions. If he can get it, then the Chen family outside the pass can control Hexi, Shuofang, and the Western Regions, which is enough to rest assured."

Wei Zheng pondered: "Originally, Chen's family was in Hexi and had a foothold was not stable. It was not a safe way to plunder Gaochang. However, Gaochang was indeed different from the countries in the Western Regions. It was originally my country of China. If it could be done, it would enrich the power of Hexi. But I do not recommend expeditions, but instead suggested focusing on enlistment. If it was expeditions, the army would be burned and killed. I don't know how many people died. At that time, although Gaochang and our Tang Dynasty were the same language, even if they were seized, they would have a deep hatred between them. If the mentor wanted to seize the Gaochang country for his own use, it would be better to make it surrender."

In this regard, Wei Zheng obviously had two attitudes towards the Turks and Gaochang countries.

He always believed that China was the foundation of China, but instead advised Chen Zhengtai not to incite the court to intensify the great conquest of Gaochang State.

Chen Zhengtai nodded and said, "I have my own idea, don't worry."

Wei Zheng couldn't help laughing: "It's my disciple Meng Lang."

It seems that Wei Zheng was quite confident in Chen Zhengtai, and he was alert at this time, but he was a little too talkative.

Chen Zhengtai continued: "I've come here, why not have a meal with me. Everyone is very busy lately, but I am the only one, like a lonely ghost."

Wei Zheng shook his head: "No, the Ministry of Finance has many major events to make decisions. This is also a major event. You should not neglect it. Mentor and students say goodbye."

People say they are busy doing serious business, what else can they do?
