Chapter four hundred and eighty third two women meet
In the early days of each dynasty, whether the monarch or minister had a wolf nature, "wolf nature" represented plunder, murder, invasion, and indifference to life.
To put it nicely, this is the intention to open up the territory, consolidate the country, shine the temple, and open up the great cause for thousands of years.
The same is true for the monarch and ministers such as Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, etc. They all had unusual fanaticism about foreign land, goods and the people. The time they lived seemed to be to conquer these things. Therefore, the monarch and ministers had ambitions and morale in the army. Generally speaking, the unified dynasties always became stronger and stronger in the early days, laying a good foundation for the next emperor.
Therefore, for Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji and others, the lives of people from foreign countries are not considered human lives. Hou Junji's army massacres the city and plundered the city, but only killed a few livestock. The generals were always strong. They believed that using violence could solve all problems. Moreover, the massacres of the city and plundered the city was not the first case of Hou Junji. Almost all the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty had done it during the conquest.
The army is a very complex group. The more morale and combat-oriented the army, the more wild it is. There are many unruly soldiers in the army. These soldiers are often the core force of the army's combat effectiveness when siegeing cities and camps. However, after the battle, they are often the most inhumane type of people who can cause trouble and inhumaneness. Like a double-edged sword, they can hurt the enemy and themselves.
From ancient times to the present, after the army captured the city, it always went to the city to plunder and slaughter. In order to appease the irritable morale of the army, to clear the remaining hostile forces in the city, and to retaliate against the casualties of their own side during the attack, in short, the generals of the commander often turn a blind eye to the looting and slaughtering of the soldiers. At most, a military order is to rob and slaughter a few days after entering the city. Appoint a time and stop when the time comes, which has almost become an unwritten rule.
Therefore, Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji and others actually have sympathy for the crimes committed by Hou Junji. They don’t think Hou Junji committed such a heinous crime. At most, they would be bad luck and poor luck. Moreover, they were "unprofitable" and let a relative of Gaochang Kingdom run away and asked him to come to Chang'an to sue the Diao. In addition, where was Hou Junji wrong? It was absolutely true.
What is wrong to kill a few people from foreign countries? What is wrong to loot the Gaochang Palace? What is wrong to lay a few fires? The city was captured, and everything in the city was the spoils of the victors, including the people. Why can't the victors deal with their own spoils? It's unreasonable!
The veterans were talking louder and louder, and their expressions became more and more angry.
It was not that Li Shimin, who was about to deal with the hero, nor that Hou Junji, who committed a serious crime. Everyone was angry and headed towards the Gaochang clan who ran out of the city when the massacre. Judging from Cheng Yaojin's intention, he seemed to want to dig him out of the ground and kill him a few more times.
"I have conquered the city and destroyed the country, but when I came back, I was sent to jail. What's the point of killing a few monks? I can't live!" Cheng Yaojin sighed sadly, feeling a kind of sadness in the end of the world.
Li Ji was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Li Su, and said, "I heard that after Hou Junji broke through the siege of Xizhou, he invited you to conquer Gaochang together to avenge him. Why didn't you go?"
Li Su was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Because... the boy is too lazy, Gao Chang is so far away. The boy is too lazy to move..."
Generals: “…………”
After a long time, Li Ji sighed, "I have good luck. If you follow Hou Jun to Ping Gaochang, you will probably be affected by him. All the great achievements will be reduced. But there is no longer the glory of three imperial edicts when you return to Chang'an."
Niu Jinda frowned and said, "Hou Junji swept across the Western Regions. A small half of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were destroyed. How can those small countries that were destroyed be cured in the future?"
Cheng Yaojin hummed and said, "It's the land of the Tang Dynasty. How can we deal with the aftermath? The Anxi Protectorate Mansion was built and will naturally be under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate Mansion in the future."
Li Ji shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate. Destroying a country is destroying a country. It's another matter to transfer it to the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty takes these small countries into its pocket, it will probably be difficult for the whole world to escape. This time, the army was revenge. If it was transferred to the Anxi Protectorate, it would be a pity for the king's army to be injustice. How can the neighboring countries see us?"
Niu Jinda nodded and said, "Yes, let alone the Western Regions go westward to the Great Food Kingdom. If the Western Regions are brought into the territory, there will be less restraint and balance between the countries and a large buffering area. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will directly border the Great Food Kingdom to the west, and it will inevitably lead to a great war in the future. The Tang Dynasty will not be worth the loss. We have already taken the Silk Road in our hands. I feel that the countries that were destroyed should be repaid by the royal family. In this way, we will have the advantage and the neighboring countries will be grateful."
Cheng Yaojin grinned and said, "You old men are useless to discuss here. Did you see the old men on the Changsun on the other end? I'm afraid that you are discussing how to gather the Western Regions and include them in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty may have the same meaning. After finally conquering it, how can you give it up again?"
Li Ji shook his head worriedly: "We generals should not have made political decisions, but this time, we should also persuade His Majesty."
Niu Jinda agreed quite well and nodded, "Yes, I will submit a memorial to advise tomorrow that the Tang Dynasty should give up the Western Regions, return the power to other countries, and help the other countries establish a new king. Let them rely on our Tang Dynasty to breathe more affordable than to directly put it into their pockets."
Cheng Yaojin had an irresistible attitude and curled his lips: "Okay, I will advise Your Majesty tomorrow. If the Western Regions are not honest in the future, I will ask myself to lead the army and deal with them again."
Li Su has been listening quietly to veterans talking about state affairs. He can't interfere in such matters, or he is not qualified to interfere, so he can only be a quiet handsome man. As he listened, Li Su was a little excited and yawned boredly.
Then, Li Ji suddenly stared at him and said suddenly: "Why should the Li family's son submit memorials and advice with me?"
Li Su yawned and beaten halfway, so scared that he almost choked and said in surprise: "Ah?"
"What! Talking to you, something rude!" Cheng Yaojin glared at him fiercely.
"Uncle Li, it's nothing to do with the boy..." Li Su continued to be stunned.
"Military and national affairs are the duty of me. Besides, you have been stationed in Xizhou for several years. The Tang Dynasty's King's Army swept across the Western Regions, and it has some connection with you. Besides, you are getting older and making great contributions to the country. Your Majesty will carefully consider what you say. Why is it not your business?" Li Ji said lightly.
Li Su blinked quickly and racked her brains to make an excuse to refuse.
He really doesn't want to get involved in this matter. What does the Tang Dynasty do if it takes the Western Regions or not? There is a reason to take it. There is a benefit of not taking it. It can be seen that Li Shimin wants to take in the destroyed countries in the Western Regions. If he submits a memorial to advise him, wouldn't he go against Li Shimin? If he accidentally makes Long Yan angry again, he will kick him to a barbarian land and be a barbarian native for his whole life. At that time, was he dancing a sword in the barbarian land or a grass skirt?
"It's getting late, and it seems that the soup is stewed at home and forget to turn off the heat..." Li Su suddenly looked up at the sky and murmured to himself.
Bang!
Sure enough, I was hit on the butt.
"Get out! Get out of here! Become a little bastard who is not good at it!" Cheng Yaojin pointed at him and cursed.
Li Su laughed a few times and went away. The old killers discussed state affairs and he still stopped joining in the fun and went to the garden. What a great scenery, it cost a lot of money, and I have to see enough money.
After walking a few steps, he heard his servants from afar sing: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, You are here"
Li Su was shocked and squinted his eyes, but he saw Dongyang and Gaoyang coming together. Dongyang was still wearing a plain Taoist robe. Gao Yang was also wearing a green high-waisted palace outfit in a low-key manner. The two walked side by side. From a distance, they looked like... Bai Snake and Xiaoqing went down the mountain to act in a monster?
Li Su subconsciously looked at Xu Mingzhu in the crowd of noble ladies. After seeing Xu Mingzhu stunned for a moment, he quickly raised his chest and showed a graceful and calm look. He calmly claimed the noble ladies, and then turned to meet the two of Dongyang. At this moment, Li Su discovered Xu Mingzhu's style of imperial wife.
His eyelids were twitching violently, and Li Su was worried that the two girls would start fighting, so he hurriedly went up to meet them.
"My wife, Mrs. Li Xu, pay homage to Princess Dongyang. Meet to Princess Gaoyang." Xu Mingzhu gave a blessing to the two daughters Yingying.
Dongyang hurriedly avoided it, lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Li should not be very polite. I am already a person outside the world and should not be able to do so."
Gao Yang looked up and down at Xu Mingzhu, and said, "Are you Xu Mingzhu? Li Su's wife?"
Xu Mingzhu smiled gently and said, "It's the fateful wife."
Gao Yang curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "It's not so good, it's better than the emperor's sister to look at others..."
"Emperor sister!" Dongyang turned his head and stared at her, obviously angry: "You repeatedly asked me to bring you here, have you forgotten the three rules?"
Gao Yang curled his lips again and said aggrievedly: "I was wrong with my elder sister..."
Looking at Xu Mingzhu who is neither humble nor arrogant, Gao Yang said reluctantly: "Hey, Mrs. Li Xu, I have heard about you in Xizhou. For that guy Li Su, you worked hard and risky, traveled back and forth thousands of miles in the desert to seek rescue for him. I admire you a little... Okay, I really admire you very much. If you do a good job, we women should be more powerful and more affectionate than men..."
As he said that, Gao Yang suddenly became happy and smiled, "Put the knife on the neck of the guard general of Yumen Pass and force him to send troops. Haha, it's really amazing, I really want to give it a try..."
"Gaoyang! There are no rules again!" Dongyang glared at her.
Gao Yang was upset: "Where am I wrong?"
Dongyang ignored her and only smiled apologetically at Xu Mingzhu: "The emperor girl is rude and speaks without any politeness. I am sorry for her."
Xu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Your Highness Gaoyang is right. Li Su is the husband of the wife of the wife. At that time, he was in danger and the wife had to take risks. However, the wife believed that the wife had the ability. Even if there were no rescuers, he could still get rid of danger. However, the wife did something wrong and caused trouble for the wife and caused him to be the wife of the wife. It was so ashamed that she said she was very ashamed."
For some reason, the three girls suddenly had a gentle breeze and drizzle, and their faces were not cold. Li Su had a lot of thoughts of fighting and suddenly disappeared. After walking a few steps, she realized that she was not suitable to insert it between these women at this time, otherwise the originally harmonious and friendly scene would become lightning and thunderous because of her appearance.
After taking a few steps, Li Su decisively decided to turn around and retreat, and gathered in the crowd of veterans again.
"Why are you back?" Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes and smiled gloatingly: "There are either princesses or her aunts there. They won't force you to submit memorials and advice. At most, um, haha, at most, you can give them two pots of vinegar, and you won't be able to kill..."
After saying that, the generals laughed loudly at the same time, and their eyes were filled with ambiguity.
Li Ji laughed and said, "Mrs. Fang Xiang drank a pot of vinegar back then, but the sour taste had not yet subsided. Now it's the Li family's turn to drink vinegar. It seems that women all like to drink this thing."
The love between Dongyang and Li Su was known to everyone in the city, so these veterans naturally heard about it. At this time, the Li family's official meeting with Dongyang, so it was their turn to watch Li Su's lively. He refused to be a group of quiet handsome men when he watched the fun, and insisted on teasing him a few words.
Li Su smiled awkwardly, feeling annoyed in her heart.
If these old guys are tied together and throw a thunder among them, a loud bang, is the day of world peace still far?
