Chapter 318 If the country can be subjugated, it is best to exterminate the species

Back in the office of Neiwei, the food from the public kitchen is brought in.

Nowadays, the grades of the internal guards in the public meals of various departments have become higher and higher, and the average grade is stable in the top three, second only to the prime ministers in the government affairs hall, and the treatment of the ministers of the Eastern Palace is not bad.

There is plenty of food in Luoyang, so there is no need to be frugal, as everyone has enough food.

Qiu Shenji's eyes lit up when he saw the sumptuous food being served. He was doing both mental and physical work, and he was really hungry, so he immediately took two large portions.

Li Yan shook his head secretly, no wonder this guy looks more and more like Di Pangpang when viewed from behind.

He asked for one and sat down first, and everyone took their seats and started to move.

Quietly, eat without saying a word.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Yan finished eating without rushing, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Shen Ji, how is Yang Zhirou and Dou Luqinwang?"

Qiu Shenji had been observing for a long time, stopped his chopsticks immediately, and replied: "Doulu Qinwang is useless, and he can be transferred to Dali Temple to be convicted. Yang Zhirou is still holding on. I underestimated him before. This person is more serious than I expected." Much more tenacious."

Li Yandao: "Don't talk about the head, first ask the identities of Yang Zaiwei and Jin Zhizhao's masters."

Qiu Shenji said: "I understand, he already called him 'Zuo Ming'!"

Everyone looked over after hearing the words, and their expressions changed: "Zuo Ming? This treasonous heart is so obvious!"

Li Yan said coldly: "A person who assists the Mandate of Heaven can be called Zuo Ming. This person really has the intention of rebelling. What's the specific name?"

Qiu Shenji shook his head: "After Yang Zhirou confessed this title, he didn't say anything else. His resistance in this matter was unexpectedly strong. It seems that the identity of that person is extraordinary."

"But please don't worry, Liulang, Zheng Bandit of Beiya Baiqi was not willing to reveal the secret of his head at the beginning, but in the end he told everything he knew. If I keep fighting with him, he will not be able to bear it sooner or later!"

Li Yan's expression became solemn: "It can make you grind slowly. This already shows the difficulty. Be careful of the opponent's counterattack! Don't forget that Jia Sibo was silenced. Compared with that time, the identity of 'Zuo Ming' was exposed very close at hand." , more likely to jump over the wall in a hurry."

Everyone said in a concentrated voice: "Yes!"

Li Yan summed it up: "At present, 'Zuo Ming' is an old man before the internal guards were removed. He himself learned the power of consciousness from Master Xuanzang in Famen Temple. .”

"Big disciple Yang Zaiwei is the leader of the Tubo secret guards. Although he is not trusted by the Gar family, at least he has a very high status. It is convenient for him to collude with Tubo and send out large troops at critical moments."

"The female disciple, Jin Zhizhao, is the Princess of Silla, the daughter of the civil and military king Jin Famin. Silla now dominates the Liaodong Peninsula. It seems to be a small country, but if it is ignored, it will cause trouble."

"The King Wenwu is also a person who has been sent to the Tang Dynasty several times, and he can let his daughter enter the door. It can be seen that there are contacts between the two... Wait a minute!"

Speaking of this, Li Yan frowned: "Which officials did King Wenwu contact with when he was envoy to the Tang Dynasty? Huaiying, you should go and investigate this matter, there may be clues."

Di Renjie didn't hide anything: "Liu Lang, I just went to the Ministry of Rites to obtain the documents, and I'm going to visit the officials of the Ministry of Rites who received King Wenwu back then."

Li Yan understood, and smiled: "No wonder I won't see you during the interrogation later, and I will leave this matter to Huaiying."

"But remember, we can't put all our hopes on these three prisoners. Now that 'Sa Ming' is doing something rebellious, we must be extremely careful. If there is a disguise in front of those close to us, we have to continue to investigate. .”

"However, no matter how cautious this person is, he can't think of rebellion from the very beginning. Digging for clues from the past is the easiest way to find clues. Now we are pursuing more and more directions, and we are going hand in hand. As long as the other party has the slightest negligence, there is no way to escape. .”

Everyone nodded their heads and their confidence doubled.

Di Renjie finished the first meal, started the second and asked at the same time: "When I went to the Ministry of Rites, I heard them discussing that they were going to issue a letter of credence to question Silla and let King Wenwu personally enter the court to plead guilty. I don't know what Liulang thinks of Silla. What's your attitude?"

Li Yan said indifferently: "This white-eyed wolf is making waves in our Tang Dynasty. What's the point of just coming here to be soft? Maybe after returning, Jin Famin will take the opportunity to gather the hatred of the three Korean Miao people." .”

Di Renjie's complexion changed slightly: "Liulang's intention is to mobilize teachers and mobilize people?"

Li Yan shook his head: "Don't mobilize the masses. The main enemy of our Tang Dynasty is Tubo. Now that the disaster has not recovered, the next step is to recuperate and appease the people."

Di Renjie couldn't help being stunned, he didn't allow Xinluo to pass through easily, and he didn't plan to send out an army, so it seemed impossible to ask the crime only verbally, right?
Li Yan's eyes moved, and he looked around the four people: "I have an immature idea. To deal with Silla, there is no need to send out a large-scale army. We only need [-] elites. We will choose a wise and brave general to lead them into the territory of Silla. Every time a strange army comes out to plunder the city, trample the crops, and destroy their livelihood, if you store up more gold, silver and cloth, and reward those who come to surrender, the country will be over in less than ten years."

After all, Qiu Shenji came from a family of military generals, and raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "This is very similar to General Liu, the governor of Bingzhou, what he did to the Turks!"

Li Yandao: "It's not like, this is referring to General Liu's method."

Liu Shirang, a general in the early Tang Dynasty, adopted a similar approach. He made the Turks feel like they were dying, forcing them to use countermeasures in turn, spreading rumors that Liu Shirang and the Turkic Khan planned a rebellion. Rest assured, later Li Shimin ascended the throne and rehabilitated Liu Shirang who died unjustly.

This exchange of positions between the two parties can actually explain the problem very well. At this time, Li Yan looked at his confidants and asked the school: "What do you think?"

Everyone looked thoughtful.

Qiu Shenji actually thought that this method was quite good, but he never expressed his opinion on war matters, so he buried his head again and worked on his second job.

An Shengan frowned slightly: "If you really do this, Silla will definitely be over, but it will inevitably damage my Great Tang Tianwei. Now it's not like the early Tang Dynasty. When the Turks invaded south frequently, why use this method?"

Guo Yuanzhen considered the follow-up: "It is not difficult to destroy the country, but once such a desperate plan is used, it may be difficult to rule later..."

Di Renjie stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty and His Highness will not agree to this law, and it will also have an impact on the stability of many prefectures and prefectures. It is not worth it for a mere Silla."

Li Yan was pleased with each of them's considerations, nodded and said: "Yes, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the victory of the war was the most important thing. Now our Tang Dynasty is strong, and Silla is far behind Tubo, so it is not difficult to destroy it. The key lies in whether the land can be truly ruled after the country is destroyed."

"If it can't be brought under the rule, it won't be long before the Sanhan Hmong will give birth to a new regime. With the experience of destroying the country, the decadent Sanhan Hmong aristocratic class will be wiped out, leaving behind a new class that absorbs my Tang culture. , maybe it will radiate new vitality instead.”

An Shengan and Guo Yuanzhen's expressions softened, but Di Renjie became more serious when he heard it.

Because he realized that this immediate boss really wanted to destroy Silla. When discussing Tubo before, he didn't have such killing intent.

Indeed, Li Yan made a murderous move.

His impression of Silla was not good at all. After all, the ancestors of later generations who stole the country were Silla, and Goryeo completely blindly recognized their ancestors.

The strange thing is that Silla Taejong Kim Chun-chu, who was truly commendable, was called a national traitor by his descendants, and then confessed to Goryeo, who was not his ancestor.

Of course, future generations will still have to deal with it according to this era. If Silla does not collide with it, Li Yan will not pay attention to this small country at present. The main enemy of the Tang Dynasty is Tubo. After all, Tubo has the right time and place, and its national power is stronger many.

But now a mere princess of Silla dares to support the Gong family behind her back, plotting wrongdoing, lest the world will not be chaotic, and even said that she was worried that after the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goryeo and Baekje, Silla would continue to perish.

Worried, right? Well, let your worries come true!
However, just as Koryo endured the blows of the four generations of the Sui and Tang Dynasties before declaring its demise, although there is a huge gap in the national power of the two sides, it is indeed not easy to truly destroy the country and then effectively control it.

Therefore, this interrogation of Jin Zhizhao is not only asking about the master behind her, but also a test.

Li Yan made a conclusion: "For Tubo, the main purpose is to disintegrate its national power and not be able to threaten our Tang Dynasty. If we want to completely destroy the plateau empire, it is not possible for the time being."

"But for the Liaodong Three Kingdoms, if the country can be subjugated, it is best to exterminate the species, so as to avoid future troubles forever!"

"With the succession of Jin Chunqiu, Silla's bone product system has come to a critical turning point. How can this rigid class cause its stability to collapse completely, and the nobles in the country are in civil strife. Students of the second hall and six schools can Do your best to guide and use their knowledge, Yuan Zhen, you are responsible for this matter;"

"Shengan, Jin Langzhong is currently searching the slave market in Beishi. There are many secret spies among the Silla maidservants sold in the slave venues. Please supervise and be polite to the slave owners. These people's hands are covered with blood. , no one is good, no matter which gentry is standing behind them, they will clean up everything that needs to be cleaned up;”

"Shenji, continue to interrogate Yang Zhirou and dig out all the secrets he knows;"

"Huaiying, you are the one to contact the six ministries in the three provinces. If you find any clues about the old man in the inner guard, don't move lightly and notify me immediately. Botong is not here. You should have more guards by your side and be careful."

"Remember, if we want to destroy foreign enemies, we must not let chaos within the Tang Dynasty. This thief who calls himself 'Zuo Ming' must be captured."

"To deal with a country, you need to consider all aspects, don't be in a hurry, and prepare for yourself!"

Everyone had different expressions. They didn't expect such a big event to be made in the time of a meal, but they couldn't help but get excited, and they all got up and took orders: "Yes!!"
