Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 201 Nine-curved channel!

Civil and military officials hold their own words.

Except for Changsun Wuji, almost all civil servants think that marriage is okay, but Datang has to be in the dominant position.

The generals are more irritable.

With what?Hasn't agreed to get married yet? Lu Dongzan is so defiant. If Princess Wencheng is really allowed to marry, wouldn't he suffer all kinds of grievances in Tubo?

What's more, what happened to Tubo?
What happened to the Turks?
Is our Datang not powerful enough?Still afraid of these things? ,
In the eyes of those generals, those are just foreign countries and small countries. If you offend them, hit them!
Is this what Cheng Yaojin thinks with his bad temper?

"Your Majesty! I don't agree with the marriage either. Our country, the Tang Dynasty, is so powerful, why should an envoy from a small country come to us and tell us that we need to make peace with each other? If this spreads, then our country, the Tang Dynasty, will become a joke!"

"General Cheng is right! Is a small foreign country worthy of negotiating terms with us? If Tubo really wants to join forces with the Turks to send troops to offend, I would like to ask for orders to fight and beat them to hell!"

Cheng Yaojin cast admiring glances at the military general who just spoke, and then his blood boiled, as if the matter had reached the point where it must be fought, he slapped his chest and said directly:
"Your Majesty, I would also like to ask for orders to go to battle. I want to see whether those barbarians are better at training soldiers, or those of us who pay attention to education are better at training soldiers!"

The civil servants were helpless.

The same is true for Fang Xuanling.

"General Cheng, this matter has not yet reached the point of sending troops to fight. Yes, we cannot let the world think that the Tang Dynasty is afraid of a foreign country. However, as a country of etiquette, we have no need to use force to solve problems unless it is a last resort. ah."

"Besides, in today's peaceful and prosperous age, marriages have always existed in all dynasties. Isn't it good for a princess to change for decades of peace?"

Civil servants are better at reasoning.

Above the court, the civil servants and military officers each had their own opinions.

Li Shimin got a headache when he heard that, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, but none of them can really solve his problems.

He subconsciously looked at Li Min, who had been standing beside him silently and deep in thought, thought for a while, and asked.

"Yin'er, what do you think about this matter?"

Only then did Li Yin recover from his deep thinking.

After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Reporting to my father, from my son's point of view, my son is more in favor of Mr. Fang's point of view. Is it a good deal for a princess to exchange the border and peace for decades?"

Li Shimin nodded in agreement: "It is reasonable to say so, but the attitude of the Tubo envoys is extremely bad. Wouldn't it be insulting to my Tang Dynasty if I agreed like this?"

Li Yin smiled when he heard it: "I also think that Lu Dongzan is too condescending, but he will pay a price for not paying attention to my Tang Dynasty."

As he said that, Li Yin had already thought of an idea in his heart, and made Li Shimin laugh with a look that Lu Dongzan would definitely pay the price.

Li Shimin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking at his little son, wondering what he was thinking.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other ministers looked at each other after hearing Li Yin's words.

Chen Yaojin is a rough person, so naturally he didn't think as much as Li Yin and the others. Hearing what Li Yin said, he felt that they were afraid of fighting, so he said frankly:
"His Royal Highness the King of Liang, I think that the two small fanatic countries of Tubo and Turk are not enough to be afraid of, and there is no need for a marriage."

Li Yin nodded:
"I am a land of abundance in the Tang Dynasty. In a peaceful and prosperous age, there is really nothing to be afraid of. However, if wars are provoked, the people will suffer. When the wars continue, the people will not be able to live. Even if they win in the end, the losses will be extremely heavy. Therefore, I do not agree to use force to solve the problem. This problem can be solved by using your brain, so why do you need to do it?"

Fang Xuanling echoed: "His Royal Highness Liang Wang is right. Some things can be done without force, and try not to use it. After all, it is the common people who suffer. One woman can make the border peaceful for decades. Why not do it?" ?”

Li Shimin listened to what they said, his thoughts spinning rapidly.

The world is finally peaceful, so he naturally doesn't want to fight.

So, after much deliberation, he asked Li Yin again:
"Then do you have any good ideas to deal with that Tubo envoy? I am interested in getting married, but what Lu Dongzan said is really a bit irritating."

Li Yin listened and smiled mysteriously.

"An idea, what else is there to embarrass him in public?"

As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring a bead and a silver thread.

He held the beads and the silver thread in his hand, and said to all civil and military officials:
"My lords, please see, I have a pearl with nine curved channels here, and a very thin silver wire. Which of the adults can pass this silver wire through this bead?"

There were whispers of discussion in the court hall.

The Pearl of the Nine-Twisted Channel?
This is a tricky way.

The silver thread is so thin, I'm afraid that the silver thread got lost in it not long after wearing it.

Moreover, it is also recorded in the book that this nine-curved tunnel can be completed by manpower alone.But how can it be done without manpower?

But there are still a few adults who don't believe in evil and have tried it, but they all ended in failure.

Ministers: ...

What kind of thing is very annoying, it takes a lot of eyes.

Li Min just smiled like that, then turned back to look at Li Shimin and said: "Father, look, there are countless capable people in my court, but still no one can make this silver thread pass through this bead. That one comes from Tubo." It is even more impossible to untie the envoy."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, at this moment he looked at this young son with admiration.

"Then do you have a way to untie this nine-curved tunnel?"

"Of course, I don't even look at whose son I am."

"Hahaha, okay! This method works!"

"That's natural. The father is calling the envoy over. He actually looks down on me, Tang, so let him see. He looks down, but they can't look down on them anyway."

Li Shimin immediately ordered someone to call Lu Dongzan.

When Lu Dongzan walked into the hall, all the civil and military officials looked like they were watching the excitement.

But they are also a little worried, what if Li Yin can't solve it?
But their worries are completely unnecessary.

Who is Li Yin?

Since he said it could be solved, it must be solved.

At this time, Li Yin had already handed the beads and silver thread to Lu Dongzan, with a smile on his face, as if he was watching a joke.

"My lord envoy, do you know what this is?"

Lu Dongzan took it and looked it over carefully.

He also noticed that this pearl was different from ordinary pearls. There seemed to be nine holes in it, and these were like silver threads...

Could it be that he is going to pass the silver thread through the nine-curved tunnel?
