Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 221
"That's right, that's exactly what I'm worried about!" Li Er pondered: "Actually, when the auxiliary machine was discussing with me, I also thought about using troops against the Pearl Khan's department to eliminate future troubles! But now I, Tang Dynasty, just suffered a plague of locusts. , the vitality is already seriously injured, if you start a war, it will be like adding insult to injury, and it is precisely because of this that I have no choice but to fight Ashina!"

"However, Your Majesty is afraid that Ashina's wolfish ambitions will cause serious troubles by occupying the grassland with a nest of snakes and rats from the Pearl Khan tribe?" Zhang Yi thought for a while, and expressed his views on the current situation.

Suspicion is the quality that an emperor should have, especially for foreigners. Zhang Yi thinks it is not wrong to have more such thoughts. Although he does not have too many impressions of Ashina in his memory, but because later generations The face of the island country and the Bangzi country, even with him, is not very friendly to any foreign race.

Zhang Yi even felt that the big man's order to kill Hu was very good at the beginning, and the Han cavalry were all sincerely convinced when they came out, and the soldiers' fronts were all flat!
And that was the time when the Han nationality was at its peak, so why were they harassed and violated by these aliens everywhere?

However, after the Southern and Northern Dynasties and even the Sui Dynasty, with the civil war in the Central Plains, these alien races were given a chance to breathe, and they slowly grew up, resulting in the current situation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi couldn't help admiring the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty again.

Regarding the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, some people said that he was born in a humble family, some said that he was ruthless, and some said that he was arbitrary, but it has to be said that the great ancestor of the Zhu family dynasty was the most upright emperor who won the country. Even Li Er is incomparable!

Why?

Just getting rid of the aliens and restoring the clothes of the Han family is enough!

What's more, the Ming Dynasty is the only dynasty in China's 5000-year history that did not profess vassals, pay tribute, or make peace with each other. Even when the country was about to be destroyed, the entire royal family never surrendered!

However, what Zhang Yi admired the most was Zhu Di's sentence back then: the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king guards the country!

Although Li Er is also a generation of emperors, and even surpassed most emperors in terms of military and civil governance, in Zhang Yi's eyes, he took his daughter to make marriages in exchange for benefits, and there were even such marriages several times!

Judging from this point of view, his courage is undoubtedly much smaller, so that Zhang Yi hardly has a good impression of Li Er.

"That's right! It's not good to use troops, and it's necessary to send troops to defend the frontier because of Ashina's restraint. It's because of this that it can be said to be a headache!" Li Er looked at Zhang Yi with a tired face and smiled: "If you want to prove that you have the ability to help me solve this matter, how about this is my first test for you?"

Li Hui's eyes turned green with worry.

Although Li Er didn't test Zhang Yi's classics and essays, the problem that even Li Er and Changsun Wuji could not solve was undoubtedly even more difficult for her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

"Father!" Li Hui couldn't help stepping forward and said to Li Shimin: "These military affairs are just as you said just now, even you and uncle are troubled by them. Although Zhang Yi is a bit smart, he is not as good as you!"

Li Hui's meaning was very clear, and there was more or less truth in what she said.

As she said, Li Er was born in the Taiyuan Li family of the Eight Pillars Kingdom. Anyone can be said to be the best among them.

However, the problem that the two of them were helpless now became Zhang Yi's exam question, which made Li Hui feel a little annoyed. Isn't this just to make things difficult for Zhang Yi?
"Your Majesty, I don't know if this question of yours can be understood in this way?" Zhang Yi opened his mouth, cupped his hands at Li Er, and said, "Since there is a factual basis for this question, it is naturally not comparable."

As he said that, Zhang Yi nodded towards Li Hui, indicating that he knew what was in his mind, and continued: "First of all, no matter what the minister answers, because there is no factual test, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it is actually an empty answer. Then there are two problems in the middle, one is the minister, and the other is you, Your Majesty!

As the answerer, the minister will definitely think that the minister's answer is wrong, and your Majesty, if you judge whether the answer is correct or not, it is considered that the minister's answer is nonsense, but what argument do you use to prove that the minister's answer is wrong? Woolen cloth? "

"Could it be possible for me to make fuss with you on military affairs?" Zhang Yi gave Zhang Yi an angry look, and said: "Now my Tang Dynasty is an enlightened and prosperous age, and I am not a fool. As long as your The method is feasible, and I will naturally make a fair judgment on you!"

Zhang Yi will not just hand over the choice of his own hope to others.

"Your Majesty, I naturally believe that your judgment will be very fair!" Zhang Yi immediately said, "But before I say what's next, I want to tell Your Majesty a story. I wonder if Your Majesty is interested?"

When it came to the story, Li Er became interested. He wondered in his heart to see what Zhang Yi could tell.

Immediately, Li Er nodded and motioned for Zhang Yi to speak.

Zhang Yi cupped his hands and said: "It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Bian He, a man of Chu, saw a phoenix perched on a bluestone in Jingshan Mountain (the ancients once said that "the phoenix does not fall, no treasure land"), so he dedicated this rough stone to Chu Li. king.

However, after being identified by the jade worker, they thought it was a stone, and Bian He had his left foot cut off for the crime of deceiving the emperor.After King Wu of Chu came to the throne, Bian He went to offer treasures again, but still had his right foot amputated for his previous crimes.Until the time of King Wen of Chu, Bian and Baoyu wept bitterly at the foot of Jingshan Mountain until their tears dried up and shed tears of blood.King Wen was very strange, so he ordered people to cut open the uncut stone, and the precious jade was obtained, which was carved into a biscuit by excellent craftsmanship, known as "Heshibi". "

Zhang Yi's words were very simple, he finished the story in a few words, and then stood quietly waiting for Li Er's reaction.

"He Shibi! Hehe!" Li Er's face immediately became ugly, staring at Zhang Yi and said angrily: "According to your story, are you trying to tell me that I am a blind man?"

Although not many people know the allusion of He's Bi because of the popularization of culture, Li Er is very clear about the story Zhang Yi said. He is very clear about what is going on.

But Zhang Yi said it at this juncture, and he took it for granted that Zhang Yi was an uncut jade, and he was the emperor with eyes but no pearls.

"Your Majesty sees this allusion in this way?" Zhang Yi asked without answering, "Your Majesty sees blindness in this allusion, why does my servant see another problem?"
