Chapter 113
The entire Constitutional Hall became quiet for a moment.
Only then did everyone remember that among the ministers present, Su Dawei was not only the founding Duke of the founding county but also the Minister of War, but also a stranger.
Moreover, he once stepped on the White Horse Temple alone and killed many powerful people.
If Su Dawei took action, he might be able to stand alone and eliminate those great cannibals and rebel Turks with their magical powers?
It seems a little excited to think about it.
In this way, wouldn’t it save money and food, and gathering heavy troops?
Only Su Dawei can achieve strategic goals.
Wu Meiniang narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and her slender brows frowned slightly, as if she was thinking.
Her fingers covered with orchid cardamom were gently scratched on the armrest.
It's hard to decide for a moment.
Spend Su Dawei and prevent him from being upset in the court.
It can help you gain power.
By then, who else dares to stand on Honger’s side and fight for power with him?
But if Su Dawei only relied on one person to deal with all the invading cannibals and the rebellious Turks.
Then how terrible this person is.
This kind of existence, even in the Western Regions, is a huge deterrent.
In the court, I am afraid that no one will dare to clearly support the queen.
After all, Su Dawei has already blatantly stood on the emperor's side.
Recently, they had a close meeting at a restaurant in the East City Tavern in Luoyang, which is a clear proof.
Li Hong couldn't help but be excited at this time and said, "Ah...Shangshu Su, I wonder if you can eliminate those great cannibals and Turks with your supernatural powers? In this way, my Tang Dynasty can stabilize the situation without spending one soldier."
These words are obviously the voice of countless people.
In an instant, including the left prime minister Yan Liben, Di Renjie, important officials from all three provinces and six ministries, and the Tang generals all raised their ears, widened their eyes, and looked in the direction of Su Dawei.
But seeing the founding Duke of the Tang Dynasty, Su Dawei shook his head calmly and said, "Please forgive me, I can't do it."
"Why is this?"
Li Hong was stunned at first, and then said anxiously: "Uncle, you have eliminated so many strange people before. Your magical powers can be easily captured by crossing mountains and seas and dealing with mere cannibals?"
Even the title changed in an emergency.
"When Emperor Taizong was alive, he made an agreement with strange people in the world that he would not be able to show his holy presence in front of others."
On Su Dawei's dark face, his eyes were like a flat lake, and he had a deep light: "Taizong is the body of a true dragon. If he speaks the Dharma, he will become a law. I cannot violate it."
This is what I said.
Many people on the spot looked bad.
Can't violate it?
I can't go against you when you killed the monks in White Horse Temple before, and you didn't see you ruthless.
Duke Su County, have you pretended?
Li Hong suppressed his doubts and asked: "You can't show your holy presence in front of others. Then you took action several times before..."
"Your Majesty, that's against the alien."
Su Dawei said slowly: "Your Majesty can ask Taishi Bureau and Baiqi, Yiren in the Tiqi. They can attack Yiren, but they are not allowed to attack ordinary people.
If you take action, there will be a price."
“What kind of cost?”
"Affect the growth and decline of luck."
Su Dawei said patiently: "This is the power of laws in the dark. The more advanced the cultivation level, the more you can feel that kind of constraint, just like my former Grand Historian Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, how did you ever see them attacking ordinary people?
Only when they protect the Tang Dynasty and deal with Wei Wei and Yi Ren can they exert all their magical powers.
Otherwise, you will be backfired.”
He paused and continued: "If I ignore the situation and attack those great cannibals, the Turks will take action, and with my cultivation, I will definitely touch the law and trigger the punishment of heaven. At the least, the heavenly thunder will be consumed, and at the worst, the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty will be implicated."
Ah this...
Li Hong was stunned for a moment.
The Grand Historian Li Yan, who had not spoken on the side, stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, what the Duke of Su County said is not false. The more advanced the alien is, the more restricted by the law.
If you abuse your supernatural powers without any scruples, you will break the balance of heaven and earth and will be accompanied by heavenly tribulation."
Even Li Yan said this, so there is nothing to doubt about this matter.
In fact, if the important officials present think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.
Many strange people emerged in the Tang Dynasty.
But no stranger can truly interfere with the operation of the court and influence the overall situation of the world.
Perhaps they are all powerful, but they are all limited to a very small level.
The Yiren recruited by the Tang Dynasty themselves were mostly against strange and hostile Yiren.
Even if it is strange, the higher the level, the less it interferes with the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
For example, Yingmao Star Lord is all fighting with Li Chunfeng’s ranks.
This is the truth.
If both powerful and weird can attack the people, they can use their magical powers and superpowers infinitely.
Then isn’t this world dominated by violence?
Whoever has great supernatural powers will have the final say.
All physical destruction that is dissatisfied.
If this is true, then the strongest person in today's world must be Su Dawei.
So, isn’t Su Dawei the whole world alone?
Is it necessary for the imperial court to exist?
Obviously, this is not the case.
For example, in stories such as "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen" and other stories.
The gods, powerful people, and demons inside only attack the same class.
At most, the lower-level demons eat some people.
The real monster doesn't bother with this.
In the Battle of the Gods, the battle between the immortals and the immortals also broke out in the circle of the immortals.
It was not targeted at the other side's people and soldiers.
Otherwise, any immortal or demonic emerges, whether it is King Zhou or King Wu of Zhou, they will probably be ashes.
This is a fart.
When Su Dawei looked at those things in the past, he didn't think so.
He started in this magical Tang Dynasty by opening the supernatural man.
Until the third grade, I did not attack ordinary people, nor did I feel the constraints from the law.
But after the first grade, I clearly realized that there are laws in the world.
The first-grade powerful rule to control.
But the strongest law in this world is the restriction on power.
Once a powerful person kills a mortal, it is too heavy.
Or it may expose a breath above the first grade.
The endless thunder punishment of heaven will usher in.
Until it is crushed to pieces.
This is also why Teng Xun and Tenggen's Eyes are looking for ways to hide themselves, and even spared no effort to "transform one qi into three purities".
They do not have the confidence to survive the heavenly disaster.
I can only try my best to delay the time when the heavenly disaster comes.
"Then...where, where can we transfer troops now?"
Li Hong's voice was hoarse, not sure whether it was a low mood or an anxious person: "I have been in the Western Regions for decades. The Western Regions' trade routes are crucial and we must not lose anything."
"His Majesty."
Since Su Dawei has stood up, he plans to solve the problem.
He walked to the sand table just now: "In my opinion, it is better to explain the rebellion in Liaodong, and then comprehensively weigh the trade-offs and allocation of combat resources."
This made Li Hong shock slightly, and he nodded and said, "What the Minister of War said is reasonable, then... General Cheng, please tell everyone about the matter of Liaodong."
Cheng Wu responded with his orders with his hands.
He took the bamboo branches handed over by Su Dawei, bowed slightly to thank him, and then walked straight to the map and sand table representing Liaodong.
"Your Majesty, Queen of Heaven, all the ministers, please see this is the Liaodong map. Here is the Andong Protectorate... The power of the Great Protectorate extended to the edge of the Yalu Water a few years ago because of its breaking Goguryeo.
But no matter how deep it is, the strength is not enough.
Therefore, in the Pyongyang City and Baekje Xiongjin City in the ancient Goguryeo, each set up a governor's office to control it.
It was originally safe, but things have changed a little in recent years.”
Cheng Wuting is tall and looks very similar to his father Cheng Mingzhen.
He has a broad nose and a wide mouth, and his speech is full of energy. He can tell at a glance that he is from a military general family.
He has broad arms and looks majestic. While walking, he looks like a tiger with momentum.
Even if dozens of kilograms of iron armor are worn on the body, it is as light as nothing.
He walked to the side of the map, and his bamboo branches were on a worm-like island outside the East China Sea: "This is the Japanese island. It was originally taken down by our Tang army, but later the army withdrew, and only a few soldiers were set up on the spot, and Fusang City was established, and it was under the command of Liu Rengui, the governor of Xiongjin.
Taishan...Well, a few years ago, the Japanese king Gaoshi was pardoned and returned to Japan, but this person was determined and plotted to rebel.
In the end, he not only captured Fusang City, but also unified Kyushu, Shiguo and other places on the island of Japan, and proclaimed himself... Emperor Dongri."
As soon as Li Hong said this, before he could speak, Wu Meiniang was furious and scolded: "What a courage!"
With the sound of the bead curtain, the Empress Dowager Wu Meiniang threw away the bead curtain and came out.
This Tang Dynasty queen was covered with frost.
Like a petal on the face with powder applied to the eyebrows, it is bright and dazzling.
The golden crown and phoenix wings on the head are gorgeous and elegant.
A bright red phoenix dressed in a phoenix dress.
Drag the wide long skirt to the ground.
There were palace maids on each side hurried forward and took up the skirt for Queen Wu.
The long skirt is like a phoenix's tail feather, gorgeous and gorgeous.
Wu Meiniang shook her sleeves with hatred and said with a deep voice: "This thief dares to call himself the emperor, why didn't anyone tell the Ai family?"
Cheng Wu's arm froze and his heart was secretly yelled that something was wrong.
This kind of thing is clear below, as for why it has not been reported.
It is very simple. Letting the King of Wa return to the island of Wa was the common decision of the saint and the Empress of Wu.
To be more plain, the order that was issued by Empress Wu, you.
Maybe, going back to Gaoshi is what Empress Wu himself means.
As a result, when this man returned, he killed the Datang army, regained power, and lured Liu Rengui.
He also proclaimed himself emperor.
He is actually a hero.
But can you tell Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang about this?
Who dares to tell the emperor that because you gave the order, this person turned against him.
Isn’t this equivalent to pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man?
What is the difference between directly scolding the leader for being incompetent?
They are all old thieves who struggle in politics, and no one is a fool.
Whoever likes to offend the two saints will do this kind of thing.
It is better to have less than more things.
Not to mention that everyone is peaceful.
After saying that, someone must be moving.
Anyway, it is impossible that the Emperor and the Queen were punished.
In the end, the board hit the person below.
Which one does not have eyes to remove the lid?
The entire hall was silent for a while.
Cheng Wuting complained secretly in his heart.
In order not to stimulate Empress Wu, he had deliberately avoided the Fengshan Mountains, but unexpectedly it still stimulated her.
When Li Hong stepped forward at the hall, he looked at Wu Meiniang with surprise.
I saw Empress Wu hugging her hands together in her belly, her big sleeves hanging down like her wings.
The phoenix eyes were raised, with a sneer.
"The Ai family is the queen. How dare this little Japanese pirate proclaim himself emperor? What do he want to do?"
After saying this, everyone suddenly realized.
The Emperor and the Queen, this is the title of the two saints of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang.
Nowadays, a small island in the east, a mere thief chief dares to call himself the emperor.
Wouldn't that be crazy provocation to the Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty: I am your husband?
It means about that.
Although Gaoshi may not have thought of this level at the beginning.
As soon as Wu Meiniang finished speaking, several generals stood up at the steps, knelt down and kowtowed: "The Empress Dowager, the Lord is humiliated and died. Please ask for 10,000 elite soldiers. I will definitely rush to the Japanese island, capture Gaoshi alive, and present it to the Empress Dowager's steps."
Good guy.
As soon as Wu Meiniang got angry, at least three of the generals present rushed out to express their determination.
Yan Liben and other civil officials beside him were stunned.
But the next second, I immediately reacted.
Slow down.
Compared with the fiercely cannibalized and rebellious Turks in the Western Regions, it seems that the Japanese islands in the east are easier to bully?
This is equivalent to free credit.
As long as the Tang army lands on the island, isn’t that a great opportunity to make military achievements?
The enemy in the west is too fierce.
Those defeated players in the east seem to be able to make any ideas?
None of these generals is a fuel-efficient lamp.
He looks big and thick, and his heart is like a mirror.
Wu Meiniang was angry and was about to nod and agreed: "Since the generals have this intention, the Ai family is very comforting, so I will die..."
Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly raised her brow and changed her mouth: "Please get up, please listen to Cheng Wuting talk about the situation in Liaodong first."
"Here!"
Several generals who knelt on the ground to ask for battle stood up one by one.
I thought in my heart that I had lost a good opportunity to make military achievements.
Although Wu Meiniang was angry, she was a mature politician after all.
There is a scheming in your heart.
She looked at Cheng Wuting and shouted, "Speak."
"Here!"
Cheng Wuting secretly wiped his sweat and continued to point at the Wadao: "After the Japanese king seized power, he designed to kill Liu Rengui, so that the Tang army had almost no control ability in Baekje, and Silla and Wadao.
In the following years, the Japanese and Silla people have been secretly celebrating songs.
Just one year after our army fought against Tubo, the Sillas supported Baekje to restore the country. Baekje rebels rushed to Goguryeo, which set off a rebellion in Goguryeo.
Since then, it has been advancing westward since the war. Most of the land we occupied in the Goguryeo in the past was taken away by Silla and Baekje.
Our army retreated until Yalu River, and then relied on the mountain to gain a firm foothold.
Since then, both sides have been repeatedly tug-of-war.
Our army was strong and fought against Yalu River, Baekje, Goguryeo, and Silla. He submitted a letter to surrender.
Our army has limited military strength and has no strength to continue to go deeper.
Once they recover, they will rebel and eat the land again."
Cheng Wuting wiped the sweat from his forehead: "In order to stabilize the front line, Anton Protectorate has been trying his best to defend it with all kinds of methods."
Cheng Mingzhen, an guardian of Andongdu, was both a famous general of the Tang Dynasty and his own father.
As a son, you must defend your father.
It’s not that we don’t work hard, but that the rebels are like candy, surrendering and rebelling, and are capricious.
Wu Meiniang's voice was cold: "Why don't you report to the court early and launch a large army early to wipe out these traitors in one fell swoop? If you cut off the grass and don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles."
Cheng Wuting was stunned on the spot.
This is what the Empress Wu dares to say.
Eliminate all rebels in a country?
This is essentially saying why not completely erase the Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla people from the map.
Can't do it at all, dear.
As powerful as Qin, how much time did it take to unify the six Eastern countries?
I've been playing myself in decades.
Later, when we arrived at the Han Dynasty, how much time did it take to truly completely digest the power of the six countries.
It is impossible to integrate and consolidate things without the time and energy of several generations.
It is necessary for the first generation to die, the second generation, the third generation, the education, cultural invasion, changing customs, changing ethnic concepts, and enhancing common sense of identity until it is possible to realize that one is a Tang Dynasty person.
As for the murder...
Killing is simple.
But it is the most impossible to achieve.
Why did the Mao Bear and Eagle Sauce survive in the Middle East? They ended up in the end and called it the Imperial Cemetery?
It's impossible to erase all people, okay?
Only the environment assimilates people.
People can only rely on the environment to transform their own survival situation.
"The Queen Mother, I have a memorial."
Su Dawei saluted with his hands crossed his hands.
It's considered a relief for Chengwu.
"speak."
Wu Meiniang said a word coldly.
His eyes looked at Su Dawei.
"Empress Dowager, although Liaodong is small against the Tang Dynasty, it also has millions of people, not to mention that the roads are well connected, the mountains and ridges are steep, and the benefits of the sea.
No matter how good my soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were to fight, they could not clear such vast land inch by inch.
So it is not feasible to completely erase the people of these Three Kingdoms."
Only Su Dawei dared to say this.
It was equivalent to slapping Queen Wu in the face in front of officials from the three provinces and six ministries.
Yan Liben's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: You are so brave, don't you be afraid of the Empress Wu getting angry.
Di Renjie's eyes showed helplessness.
Ami is really...
However, what is said is also reasonable.
It's just that I don't give Empress Wu a face.
The generals and generals in the hall exchanged their eyes secretly.
Officials from three provinces and six ministries raised their hearts into their throats.
The palace ladies, those who reported the time, those who served, the palace servants and eunuchs in the palace changed their faces one by one.
Secretly looking at Empress Wu.
Over the past decade, the strong image of Empress Wu has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Except for the former Emperor Li Zhi, no one dared to touch her bad temper.
Even the new emperor Li Hong, who is now half short in front of Wu Hou.
Silence for a moment.
Wu Meiniang narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "Since it cannot be erased, but Liaodong surrenders and rebellion. I heard that the attack is very urgent now, Cheng Mingzhen could no longer resist it and asked the court several times to be in a hurry. Now, will the plan be released?"
Well?
Empress Wu wasn't angry?
The left prime minister Yan Liben looked over in surprise.
From his perspective, only Wu Meiniang's side face could be seen.
The golden phoenix crown spreads its wings and is about to fly.
Queen Wu’s side face has smooth lines, a high nose bridge and a slightly raised chin.
It exudes a sense of pride and self-pride.
It seems that Su Dawei's words did not arouse her anger, nor did they shake her confidence.
Everyone was thinking.
After all, Su Dawei was promoted by the queen of the world.
Although now we are closer to His Majesty.
But it is not considered a feud with Empress Wu.
At least there are no rumors of breaking up.
Empress Wu should still rely on him?
At present, there is no one in the Tang army who knows how to use troops better than Su Dawei.
"Go back to the Queen Mother."
Su Dawei was asked by Wu Meiniang and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "In the opinion of the minister, it is not difficult to do anything in Liaodong."
oh?
Wu Meiniang was slightly surprised: "Why isn't it difficult?"
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, in the past, our army was conquered Liaodong. The chief of the Soviet Union first pacified Baekje, and the British Duke Li Ji then went to Goguryeo, and the weak minister also pacified the Japanese island."
Su Dawei calmed down and talked freely: "Now, although there are rebellions from time to time, the elite soldiers and capable soldiers of these countries at that time were all annihilated by our Tang army."
Su Dawei said these words firmly and unquestionable.
There is a convincing power in the words.
Wu Meiniang was surprised at first, then her phoenix eyes lit up: "Speak on."
"People can be reborn, but there is no possibility that elite soldiers of a hundred battles will be reborn in one day."
Su Dawei walked to the sand table, took the bamboo branch from Cheng Wuting, pointed to the sand table and said, "Although the thief is very powerful now, these people are just mobs compared to Goguryeo in the past.
In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Heita, Hebei, had a stir and defeated the Tang army several times, and the army was in great prosperity.
The court was shocked for a moment.
He even wanted to move the capital.
Until Emperor Taizong quelled the rebellion, Yu Mingshui dug a dike and defeated Liu Heita's army.
After this battle, Liu Heita's elite troops were all destroyed.
Later, when the incident broke out again, although there were many soldiers under his command, they were defeated again and again until they died.
A large number of people does not mean more combat power, but only means greater consumption and more food and grass required.
Sometimes it’s a drag.”
This is like shaking clouds and fog, which makes everyone's heart illuminate.
Yes, all the elite soldiers in a hundred battles are dead, but they won’t be able to be reunited right away.
With just some mobs, no matter how many, how could it be a rival to the Tang army?
What's more, there are more people, which means greater consumption.
In a vague way, everyone seemed to see a light of breaking through Su Dawei's words.
Su Dawei pointed at the Andong Protectorate and said, "The Andong Protectorate manages Liaodong and Bohai Kingdom, and controls the Bohai Sea, Khitan, Kumoxi, Mushi, Shiwei, and such a vast land, but only 30,000 elite soldiers.
With these 30,000 people alone, even the iron army would find it difficult to control all the land.
The rebels were like water, flowing everywhere. With the power of the Anton Protectorate, they could be defeated, but it was difficult to eliminate them.
In addition, in recent years, the court has turned its focus to the west and ignored the east.
As far as I know, many soldiers were not supplemented due to losses, and some soldiers in the palace had already served over the deadline, but the court did not send troops to the rotation in time.
Our soldiers are fighting less and less, and we become tired as we fight.
We are fighting outside the territory.
And the enemy is the local natives. The wild wind cannot be blown away, and the spring breeze will revive. How can such a battle be won?"
Wu Meiniang nodded repeatedly at first.
I heard it behind and felt something was wrong.
His face also sunk: "Are you blaming the court? Are you saying that the Ai family's strategy is unknown?"
"Don't dare."
Su Dawei crossed his hands and said, "The disease in Liaodong is a disease of ringworm. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not difficult to calm down. At present, at least there will be no major chaos. If you follow the plan of a humble minister, you can stabilize Liaodong, and at the same time defeat the great cannibals and quell the rebellious Hu people."
Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed slightly.
Li Hong couldn't help but stand up from the dragon throne.
Di Renjie, Yan Liben, the heads of various departments.
The general of the Left Wu Guard, Cheng Chusi, Duke Xing, Su Qingjie, General Cheng Wuting, and the generals all looked at Su Dawei together.
Chapter completed!
