"Your Majesty, I know that I made a mistake in what I said today, which is an unpardonable crime. For this, I am willing to accept the punishment! But before that, I want to make one point: the reason why I said those words today is not because I don't know the depth or the meaning. The current situation is deliberately provoked, but this is my duty!"

Yu Shinan's words were resounding in the hall. Li Shimin, who was about to ask the guards to take down Li Kuan, snorted coldly and said: "I really want to know, you are a secretary supervisor who is responsible for the national collection and editing of books. What does your duty have to do with those dead soldiers of the previous dynasty!"

"As your Majesty said, I am a secretary-cum-secretary, and my responsibility is to be in charge of the country's book collection and editing. But since the eighth year of Wude, there has been a question before my eyes: What will happen to Emperor Sui Yang's three expeditions to Korea? How many soldiers were killed in the battle, and how many Beijing temples were there to the north of the King's City?

——When I am revising the history of the Sui Dynasty, this section cannot be avoided no matter what. Therefore, it took me more than three years to finally come up with a rough estimate: eight years of great cause, nine years of great cause, and ten years of great cause! In the past three years, the number of soldiers who died on the battlefields of Goguryeo totaled more than 200,000! There are nearly a hundred temples built by these soldiers throughout Goguryeo! And many of these soldiers died of illness! A crime other than war! "When Yu Shinan said this, tears were already streaming down his face, and the entire hall was silent and silent.

"Your Majesty, I am already old, but I have experienced too much turmoil in my life, and I dare not not be prepared for danger in times of peace. Now, thanks to Your Majesty's respect, I dare not forget my duty: I am not compiling the history of the Sui Dynasty to leave a name for the ages. Liufang.

I just want to remember for Your Majesty and for Datang, those bloody lessons that have been lost in the dust of history! It is true that I have the courage to express my regrets to Your Majesty today about welcoming back these soldiers. The timing is wrong and my words are wrong. However, my stance and intentions have never been wrong!

We have remembered the lessons that history has taught us, and we must also make up for the mistakes left by history! Those loyal souls who missed their hometown day and night in the land of Goguryeo were piled up and oppressed into the withered bones of Jingguan every moment... The Tang Dynasty should do something about this! " Yu Shinan said the last thing, and slowly knelt down on the ground. At the same time, he took off the Jinxian crown on his head and put it aside. Then he leaned down and kowtowed.

Yu Shinan, this frail but strong-tempered old man, at this moment, once again proved with his actions what it means to be a scholar.

I will persevere even though there are tens of thousands of people.

"Yu Gong is really a great man!" To everyone's surprise, the prince Li Chengqian, who had been silent since he came to court, and even seemed to have no sense of presence in the court, suddenly stood up at this moment and expressed his feelings for Yu Shinan. Support: "What Mr. Yu said comes from the bottom of my heart. My father, I and my son, I think that what Mr. Yu did today is not only faultless, but actually meritorious. After all, we should really be reminded that there are always strong enemies around the Tang Dynasty." The new dynasty should complete the unfinished business of the previous dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty...should not slack off anymore!"

Li Chengqian's words, especially the last sentence, are full of profound meaning: What is the Tang Dynasty? The wars that the Sui Dynasty did not finish should be fought by us, the Tang Dynasty. The enemies that the Sui Dynasty did not surrender should be surrendered by the Tang Dynasty.

Only such an emperor of the Tang Dynasty is worthy of the title "Tianxia".

Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was originally planning how to deal with his two sons after the court broke up later, but now, Li Chengqian's words undoubtedly entered his heart.

This kid Cheng Qian...is finally starting to look a bit like a prince...

His majesty, Li Er, who was deeply comforted, had already planned to show mercy and let Li Kuan and his two brothers go.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

——Pei Ji, who had regained consciousness and decided to go out on his own to regain his position. With the support of Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu and other veterans around him, he braced himself and stood up slowly: "What the Crown Prince said is ridiculous! Today in the Tang Dynasty, Bai Ji How can we afford to launch a national war if we don’t even know how to deal with the coming locust plague?

Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince wants His Majesty to imitate Yang Guang of the previous dynasty, who blindly ruined his empire because of a moment of arrogance? ! "

It has to be said that Pei Ji, who had suffered so much humiliation today, finally toughened up.

At this time, he seemed to be unable to see the gloomy expression on Li Er's face. Relying on the blessing of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, Pei Ji began his crazy literature: "I once followed the Supreme Emperor and started from Qingping. Finally, how many people can understand the hardships of this journey? That’s it, that’s it! Why am I telling you all this? In short, the most important thing right now is to fight against the disaster. Let’s talk about the rest after we get through this locust plague!”

Locust plague, locust plague, locust plague...

Li Kuan really wanted to go up and give this shameless old man a big mouth.

Damn you...how long has this been going on? The little wife next door is almost on the bed. You, an eighty-year-old bachelor, know you are in a hurry?

nausea! nausea!

What did you do early? !

Sure enough, Li Kuan underestimated Pei Ji's shamelessness.

But he, Pei Ji, is so shameless, how can I, Li Kuan, be willing to be second to others?

"Warm!" Li Kuan suddenly shouted from behind the screen next to the main hall, "Historian of the Yan family!"

It was this voice that made the person in charge of recording Li Er's life, who was hiding behind the screen, tremble with surprise: the white paper that had just been laid out in front of him also had a pool of ink marks.

"We who write history must have backbone!" Although Li Er didn't get a response, it didn't matter. He knew that the other party must be there. At the moment, Li Kuan shouted loudly: "Remember, what happened in the palace today, what happened If you write down everything in history books, no matter how big or small, I won’t believe it. The justice of right and wrong is left to future generations. Who is right and who is wrong can still have no result? Pei Ji, you old man..."

"Cough!" In the flash of lightning, Li Chengqian noticed that Li Er was about to go berserk and coughed violently, reminding his younger brother not to curse in this palace.

Obviously, Li Kuan is not stupid. After receiving the reminder from his elder brother, he quickly changed his words and said: "You old... fool who always doesn't know the difference between right and wrong. When you have free time, think more about future generations after reading history books. How would I evaluate you?"

After Li Kuan said this, he turned around and continued to scare the person behind the screen with bold words: "Let me tell you, Yan Shu and I have been friends for many years, and besides, he is also the person in the room of the Supreme Emperor. If you dare to use Chunqiu calligraphy, I will Go to Hongyi Palace to find Yan Shu and ask him to drive you out of the Yan family!"

Li Kuan obviously underestimated the lethality of his words.

"You're such a bastard! How dare you threaten my family? Are you still my son?!" His Majesty Li Er, who originally wanted to let Li Kuan go, suddenly had veins popping up on his forehead. At this moment, he wanted to beat him up. The impulse reached its peak.

You bastard, even if you are doing it for the good of Datang, you can't act like this, right? As a father, don’t you want to lose face? !

"Well..." His Highness the King of Chu, who had promised to be ruined for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, was not afraid of pulling everyone together to self-destruct.

So at this moment, he deliberately touched his chin with one hand, pursed his lips and pondered for a long time, and then, in the worried eyes of his previously defeated generals such as Pei Ji, Wei Zheng, and Yu Chigong, he uttered the classic tea saying "Cha" Said: "Why doesn't it count?"
