Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 241 Two Idiot Sons
And at this time in the Daming Palace.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Longji looked a little ugly.

Because his two sons are here.

He also vaguely guessed their intentions, so he looked at Li Heng and Li Cong and said, "What do you two want to do when you come here to see me?"

"This.."

Facing Li Longji's inquiry, Li Heng and Li Cong looked at each other.

In the end, Li Heng, who was the crown prince, stood up bravely and said with a bow, "Father and sons and ministers came here for the Turkic invasion of Beiting."

"Today, I received news that the Turkic wolf cavalry had entered Beiting Xianquan Town, blocking the Longyou Road, and making Beiting and Anxi fall into isolation."

"If it continues, I am afraid that Beiting and Anxi will be swallowed by the Turks, so I have come to ask my father for advice on how we should deal with it."

consult?

Li Longji laughed in his heart, "You are not here to ask for advice, but to test the pressure on me, just rebuild with Turkic, show softness to Turkic."

Li Longji knew in his heart that he wanted to see how his two sons would put pressure on him.

So he pretended not to know, and asked back with a frown, "I don't know if the two emperors have any good strategies, let's talk about them."

Hearing this, Li Heng didn't speak immediately, but hesitated for a while, and then said, "I'm ignorant, and I can't figure out how to think about a good strategy. But I know that my Tang Dynasty is now invaded by the Three Kingdoms, and the situation is worrisome. .”

"There is the Great Food Kingdom in the west. Although they were defeated by the King of Tang and took their territory for a thousand miles, they did not harm the Great Food Kingdom at all. They may counterattack back to the Great Tang at any time."

"In the east, there are Dongdao people crossing the sea and occupying Mingzhou. According to the latest news from the Ministry of War, the Dongdao people's army has already reached Fenghua City."

"The king of Tang doesn't know if he can show his might again and drive back the people from the East Island and drive them out of our Great Tang territory."

"If Fenghua City is destroyed, Yuezhou may not be able to stop the army of Dongdao people, and the people of our Tang Dynasty will also suffer greatly. This is the last thing I want to see, and it is also the most painful."

"Now there are Turks blocking Longyou Dao in Beiting...Father, if Dashi counterattacks Anxi at this time, our Tang Dynasty will be attacked from three sides."

"Although my Great Tang has prospered other countries under the wise governance of my father, my Great Tang will also struggle in the face of the invasion of the Three Kingdoms, which will lead to a decline in national power and endanger the country."

Speaking of this, Li Heng couldn't help but squeeze out a few tears, bowed deeply to Li Longji, and stopped talking.

He has put pressure on Li Longji with the situation of the war.

"The emperor is right."

Li Longji's face remained unchanged, he praised him, and left Li Heng alone.Then he looked at Li Cong and asked, "Elder Emperor, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it one by one."

Li Cong, who lowered his head and buried himself deeply, heard that he was called by Li Longji. He subconsciously froze for a moment, then reacted, and bowed, "Father, my son agrees with the prince's analysis of the situation, but the prince only talked about the military situation."

"However, my son knows something about civil affairs, so let me talk about civil affairs."

"Since King Tang destroyed Dashi's Slave Chamber of Commerce, rich merchants from various slave chambers of commerce have expressed their dissatisfaction and have reduced their trade with my Datang merchants."

"This directly led to the accumulation of merchants' goods, which could not be sold, and caused huge losses to merchants, which also led to a small half of the money that the people deserved."

"It has already aroused complaints from merchants and common people. If this continues...Father, my ministers are worried that the common people will rebel..."

After Li Cong finished speaking, he knelt on the ground fiercely, but he didn't cry like Li Heng.

He, Li Cong, used the people to put pressure on Li Longji.

But at the moment when Li Cong knelt down, Li Longji laughed angrily, he was really his son, and they were really brothers, their tone and behavior were exactly the same.

Li Longji didn't speak in a hurry, but just sat so deeply, making Gao Lishi, who had been watching and didn't dare to make a sound, show doubts. He couldn't understand Li Longji's thoughts at the moment.

The atmosphere in Daming Palace seemed a little heavy for a while.

Only Prince Li Heng was still pretending to cry.

I don't know how long it took before Li Longji raised his head and said, "Speak up, tell your thoughts, you know your son better than your father, I know you all have your own thoughts."

As soon as this word comes out.

Both Li Cong and Li Heng were shocked.

Li Cong raised his head slightly.

Li Heng stopped crying.

But neither of the two dared to speak, but bowed their heads deeply, like two ostriches.

Seeing this, Li Longji looked slightly angry, raised his finger and said to Li Heng, "Heng'er, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, raise your head up for me, and tell me what you really think!"

Li Longji got angry, and Li Heng didn't dare to be silent anymore, raised his head, and said hesitantly, "Father, my son said, father, don't get angry."

Li Longji shouted impatiently, "Say!"

"Gudu."

Li Heng swallowed his mouth in fear, and said hesitantly, "Father, my son thinks that... if you want the Turks to retreat, you need to send envoys to meet the new Turk Kehan ​​Guli Keji, and say that I, the Tang Dynasty, want to fight with them. This is one of the friendships between the Turks and the Qin and Jin Dynasties."

"Secondly, the commercial trade with Turks can be adjusted. For example, in the past, a sheep can be exchanged for a foot of cloth, but it can be adjusted to a sheep, which can be exchanged for a foot and a half of cloth."

"Third, in order to appease Guli Keji, the father can express his recognition of his position as Turkic Khan and give him a reward."

"As for Dashi, it's...the king of Tang was demoted, his military power was taken away, his territory was returned to them, his enmity towards Datang was appeased, envoys were sent to show weakness to the enemy, and they discussed the terms of their withdrawal. "

"As for the Dongdao people, they live in a tiny place and lack of supplies. As long as the father sends envoys and promises to give them supplies every year, the Dongdao people will naturally retreat."

After Li Heng finished speaking cautiously, he fell on the ground again, waiting for Li Longji's decision.

But it was his words that made Li Longji's eyes turn red with anger, wishing he could go down and beat his stupid son to death.

His hands were wrapped in dragon sleeves, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Taking deep breaths secretly again and again, controlled his emotions, turned his eyes to the eldest prince Li Cong, and shouted in a deep voice, "Elder prince, what about you, tell me what you want to say!"

"Ah... this..."

Li Cong didn't know what to say at this time, because the prince Li Heng had said what he wanted to say, but when he saw Li Longji staring at him, he dodged his eyes and said, "Father, my son thinks what the prince said is reasonable. The minister's thoughts are the same as the prince's."

At this time.

Not to mention that Li Longji was about to lose control of his anger, even the corners of Gao Lishi's mouth twitched, and he said secretly, "These two masters are really trying to die."

When Li Longji saw Li Cong, he was also like this. Finally, he couldn't control his anger. He slapped the dragon case fiercely, and cursed angrily, "Why do I have you two sons of idiots!!"

After cursing, when he was about to continue, there were eager shouts from outside the Daming Palace.

"Report to Your Majesty, hurry up for eight hundred miles, Anxi is a great victory!!"

"Report to Your Majesty, hurry up to [-] miles, Mingzhou great victory!!"
