Datang: At the beginning, Princess Wencheng was robbed

Chapter 106
"Your Majesty! Silla sent its envoy Yanbaekje to attack more than [-] cities in his country, and also joined forces with Goguryeo to plan to block Silla's path to the imperial court. Now he is begging us, the Tang Dynasty, for help."

Hall of Liangyi.

Mid to late September.

Now that the weather is not so hot, it is finally possible to move the meeting place out again.

Li Er had just taken people to inspect the railway, and when he came back, someone reported to him.

And Li Er's first sentence was: "Wei Yan, what do you think?"

All the officials of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help looking in Wei Yan's direction, thinking that Wei Yan was really Jane in the heart of the emperor.Once there is any important matter in the court, His Majesty will not ask Xiao Yu, let alone Li Ji.

Of course, maybe Xiao Yu is really not good at this, so what about Li Ji, Li Ji must have some ideas about sending troops to Goguryeo, right?

Hearing Li Er calling his name again.

Wei Yanxin said, "Do you know how embarrassing it is? It makes you seem like you have a very low position, but you have a lot of power."

Wei Yan came out and said, "I thought that now is not the time to send troops."

Li Er said: "I didn't ask you to send troops, I just asked if you have any ideas."

Wei Yan thought it was something.

He said: "Your Majesty will marry Princess Jinyang to me in January next year, and the year after that, I will be able to level Goguryeo for Your Majesty."

"..." The officials of the Tang Dynasty were speechless for a while.

In the end, the old man Xiao Yu couldn't stand it anymore.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yu's background is not small.

It was only because he was at odds with Fang Xuanling and the others, and he knew that he was quarreling with others in the court, so he was demoted to the outside by Li Er for a long time during the Zhenguan period.

At this time, the old man said:
"Wei Yan, after returning to Chang'an, the old man often heard your name. The streets and alleys of Chang'an also said that they want to learn from you, marry a princess, and become a prime minister."

"But you have already married so many, why do you still want it now and are not satisfied?"

"What's more, it is the duty of my courtiers to do things for His Majesty. How can you use Princess Jinyang as a condition to bargain with Your Majesty?"

Listen to Xiao Yu's words.

Li Er can only say that he has found a bosom friend.

But to be honest, don't make trouble, this time I definitely earned it for nothing, after all, I originally planned to marry Princess Jinyang to him, but now I just gave it to him earlier.

not to mention……

This kid's air conditioner has been installed in Princess Jinyang's bedroom.

Can I not give it to him in the future?
"Just flat?"

Then Li Er said.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but be surprised, the minister is speaking for your Majesty now, how can you compromise with the other party, Your Majesty?
Wei Yan said, "It's just because I don't want to be so murderous. In the next year, I can destroy Goguryeo for Your Majesty."

This is a bit of bragging!
to be frank.

Don't you think about the time when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had an army of one million people, but he fought three times without being defeated, and in the end he even destroyed the country.

Who are you, Wei Yan?
Do you want to destroy Goguryeo?

"Wei Yan! Don't talk too much."

Li Ji couldn't help but raised the wat board slightly and said.

Of course, what Li Ji said was entirely for the good of Wei Yan, otherwise when Wei Yan was punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor, the head of that good seedling would fall to the ground.

Changsun Wuji waited and watched, and even wanted to fan the flames.

"Wei Yan, Goguryeo is not easy to defeat. This is different from Xue Yantuo."

"correct."

"correct."

The rest of the ministers also communicated one after another.

Wei Yan said, "I will do what I say."

"Why do you have to wait until the next year?"

Li Er asked again.

"Next year, it will be inconvenient for me. I have to build roads, and I will have no skills."

"How many soldiers and horses do you want?"

Li Er continued to ask.

"A little more is fine, a little less is fine. It doesn't matter."

indeed!

Li Er thought about it, maybe Wei Yan would break into the other party's bedroom at night, and then chop him up with a knife.

It seems that Wei Yan can do it by himself.

Then Wei Yan added: "In fact, it is not a problem to win Goguryeo in the war. The problem is that you can't control it after you win it. If you want to support a puppet to be the king of Goguryeo, I think it doesn't make much sense. Then Why don't you use what I did at the beginning."

At the beginning, only Li Er knew about it.

"Then what do you think, after the fight is over?"

Wei Yan: "Incorporate all the original places of Goguryeo into the prefectures and counties of Datang, and assign officials of Datang to manage them."

It's not that Li Er hasn't thought about it, and it's certainly not that he hasn't thought about it in the past dynasties.

only……

The winter in Goguryeo was too cold, and no officials were willing to go there. What's more, going to such a far away place was not equivalent to being demoted and exiled.

"But that's not realistic after all."

Li Er conveniently said.

"I think that after defeating Goguryeo, it can be used as a reward for meritorious officials, and later, officials of the Tang Dynasty are allowed to establish a feudal state outside."

"In the closed country, all taxes and people belong to him."

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely impossible!" Xiao Yu said immediately.

Wei Yan also asked: "Zuo Pushe, what do you think is wrong?"

Xiao Yu said: "In this world, besides Tang, how can there be another feudal state?"

Wei Yan said: "Why can't there be one? Has anyone signed up? If not, after defeating it, Goguryeo will be mine. By then, I will have established a country outside, with the tax revenue, people, salt and iron minerals of a country. By then, Don’t regret it.”

Xiao Yu: "Aren't you split! Your Majesty! I want to impeach Wei Yan."

Li Er: "I think it's okay. If we can really defeat Goguryeo, then that land will be yours."

Xiao Yu: "Your Majesty..."

Li Er: "Okay, I remember, at the beginning of Zhenguan, Zuo Pushe, didn't you still persuade me to go back to the Western Zhou Dynasty and implement enfeoffment?"

Xiao Yu: "Your Majesty, that's totally different. Now Wei Yan is going to build a country outside."

Li Er: "That's good! I feel more relieved to have him guarding the Tang Dynasty outside. The Ministry of Rites, Li Daozong, prepare for Princess Jinyang's wedding."

Li Daozong: "Yes!"

A regular court, and that's the end.

It can only be said that Chang'an City will have countless things to talk about next.

The first is that His Majesty really trusts Wei Yan to the bottom of his heart.

The second is to let Wei Yan marry another princess!
The third is to build the country abroad.

Of course, when you really think about it, it’s not practical, because can you really live outside without giving up the painstaking management in Chang’an City?

What's more, Jianguo was built when it was said to be built.

but……

Wei Yan also didn't say that when he founded the country, he would give up his business in Chang'an City.

He could serve as an official in Chang'an City and build the country at the same time.

That night.

That's what Chu Suiliang told Changsun Wuji.

Moreover, discuss the feasibility of this kingdom with Changsun Wuji.

"What exactly does Wei Yan want to do?"

"Young people's thoughts are really incomprehensible."

However, what Wei Yan said about a country's taxation, people, and salt and iron minerals, you don't even mention it, this is really attractive.

Especially the land of Goguryeo, although it is a good place of bitter cold, it should be the best land outside the territory of Tang Dynasty.

"Tell me, if Wei Yan is really allowed to establish a country there, how rich will Wei Yan be in the future?"

"The population of Goguryeo is at least two or three million, right?"

"The prerequisite is that his country can really be built."

After Chu Suiliang finished talking about his idea, Changsun Wuji also replied.
