Datang Dynasty: The bloodbath in Tiance’s mansion at the beginning

Early this morning.

800-mile express to the capital

"There is an urgent report from the border. The Turkic army is heading south. It has broken through two passes in a row and is heading straight for Chang'an!"

The messenger rode through the city gate on a galloping horse, and the entire city of Chang'an was awakened. All civil and military officials were urgently summoned into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

Li Chengdao sat at the top with a cold expression.

"The Turkic army is moving south. Jingzhou and Xiazhou have been defeated, and the whereabouts of the defenders are unknown."

"Jieli Khan and Liang Division divided their troops into two groups and would soon cross Luoshui and rush to Chang'an."

"Do you have any strategy for retreating from the enemy?"

Except for the cabinet and a few military generals who knew the details, everyone was panicked.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the war with the Turks has never stopped.

For eight years, the two sides won and lost each other, and there were times of war and peace..

But the Turks will run away as soon as they fight, and they will run away as soon as they fight. As long as they get into the desert, the Tang army has nothing to do with them. If this continues for a long time, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be injured after all.

In many cases, if they cannot defeat , Li Yuan would dedicate a large amount of property to the Turks, and stability would lead to peace. This also led to changes in the minds of many ministers within the Tang Dynasty.

When many people heard that the Turks were moving south, the first thing they thought of was to seek peace. Cen Ju, the man from Shushe, was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the Turks are coming now, but our army has not prepared in advance. Why not take the initiative to seek peace to relieve the suffering of the people! Ning Zhi , the assistant minister of inspection, also echoed:"Your Majesty, the Turks went south just for winter supplies.""

"We, the Tang Dynasty, are a celestial kingdom. We should behave like a great nation. The barbarians are ignorant of the general situation. We should reward them with some treasures and send them away. There is no need to be familiar with them!

Yang Zhen, Minister of Taichang Temple, held up the wat board and said,"Your Majesty, I also think that seeking peace is better than seeking war. It is not the right way to waste people and money!""

Li Chengdao looked at them calmly, without looking angry at all.

"The other members of the Qing family didn't say a word, wondering whether it was war or peace?"

After Li Chengdao finished speaking, more than a dozen ministers walked out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, peace is the most precious thing!"

For a time, the voice of begging for peace overshadowed everything else.

It was as if the Tang Dynasty would definitely lose as soon as this war started.

Li Chengdao looked at these dozen people, all of whom were high-ranking ministers.

Their words were high-sounding. , but it stinks.

Are they really thinking about the Tang Dynasty, the country, and the people's livelihood?

Not necessarily!

Many of them are afraid that the Turks will go south and occupy their wealth.

After all, the Turks are from Going north to south, you will pass through a large number of state capitals and counties, and there may be land they have occupied.

It would be better to directly sue for peace and let Li Yuan take money from the treasury to end the war, so as to save their own pockets..Li

Chengdao suddenly missed Li Shimin’s generals.

Although they were not from the same group as him, they still had the confidence in their bones.

At least Li Shimin led them to fight against the Turks several times without suffering any losses.

At that time, they, He shouldn’t dare to speak out about asking for peace in such a big way.

But these pig teammates are all asking for peace now and have no intention of fighting.

Could it be that they are deliberately bullying me because I am young?

He looked at the other people who had not expressed their opinions and said,"Hey, wait. Is it war or peace?"

At this time, Yu Shinan, a sixty-eight-year-old bachelor of Hongwen Hall, walked out tremblingly.

He raised the wat board with both hands and could hardly stand. Chu Suiliang next to him kept supporting him.

Yu Shinan faced Li Chengdao bowed and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the foundation of a country lies in its people. If there is a war, life will inevitably be ruined."

"But the Turks bullied the Tang Dynasty too much. They invaded repeatedly, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil!"

"They massacre a city today, and we will seek peace; they massacre another city tomorrow, and we will still seek peace!"

"If this continues, more and more people in the Tang Dynasty will die, supplies will become less and less, and the country will be completely destroyed!"

"It would be better to gather all the troops from across the country, attack the Turks in the north, drive them into the desert, and never dare to invade our border again!"

"Although the veteran is not a civil servant, he has the heart of a military general and is willing to die on the battlefield for the Tang Dynasty and protect our people!"

Li Chengdao was in awe when he heard the words.

This Yu Shinan can be regarded as a civil servant among civil servants!

In the entire history of the feudal dynasty, he is an irreplaceable master of calligraphy.

I didn't expect that a person could be as upright as his words!

After Yu Shinan finished speaking, Chao Other ministers also agreed.

"I am willing to die on the battlefield for the Tang Dynasty and protect our people!"

"I am willing to die on the battlefield for the Tang Dynasty and protect our people!"

The sound resounded throughout the hall, shaking up the night.

After all, the sixty-eight-year-old people have come forward, so what reason do they have to continue to hide.

Li Chengdao looked at them and felt very happy. It seems that these officials of the Tang Dynasty, There are not a few people who are still alive!

But they are.

If they were all cowardly and timid, they would not be able to achieve the glorious cause of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengdao looked at Yu Shinan respectfully,"Old Bachelor Yu, I am very happy that you have such integrity.!"

"But all the men of the Tang Dynasty are extremely brave. Before they all die in battle, there is no need for a sixty-eight-year-old gentleman to stand in front of them!"........
