Yuan Family?

This is the meeting that has ended. Is it time to chat?

Everyone was stunned. They didn't think this topic was suitable for occasions like the Zhengshitang, and they were not bored to this level.

Cui Jieren glanced at Han Yi slightly, frowned, and then took the lead in breaking the silence. "I have heard of this. It seems that the Yuan family reclaimed land and planted food on some islands overseas. Last year, the Foshi Kingdom robbed a cargo ship transported to those islands nearby. At that time, the Yuan family immediately sent people to seek justice, but was defeated by the Foshi Kingdom people."

Han Yi nodded and said, "It's probably that."

Hao Chujun was a little puzzled: "Why don't you know why Shangshu Ling mentioned this matter here?"

Here, it is obviously an hinting that Han Yi is not suitable for this matter here.

Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Shu Hao, the people of the Yuan family are also people of my Tang Dynasty. Where did our Tang Dynasty die? I mentioned it here. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Hao Chujun immediately said: "Shangshu Ling misunderstood me. I just thought that it was a place where there was a place where there was no place, and it was not under the jurisdiction of our Tang Dynasty. Since they were going there, they had to bear it themselves, and it was not what the court asked them to go. The court had no obligation to be responsible for it."

Han Yi shook his head and said, "You can't say that. Can you leave the Central Plains, then I am not a native of the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhang Wenguan asked in a deep eyebrows: "Does Shangshu Ling think that the court should seek justice for the Yuan family?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "That's right. I think so."

"How is this possible? Not to mention that the court doesn't even understand what the situation is there, even if it is understood, the court mobilized troops to go to sea to attack another country for a cargo ship. This makes no sense!" Zhang Wenguan looked incredible.

Di Renjie said: "If it is near my Central Plains, the court can send people to negotiate, but the problem is that the place is away from my Central Plains Taiyuan and has to build a ship to sea. I don't agree with this. There are still many people who have died in other areas, so the court still has to put the overall situation first."

Liu Xiangdao said: "I don't think the court should be regarded as ignoring it. Since that place is unsafe, the court should tell the people of the world and let them try not to go out to sea."

This is actually a typical ancient Chinese thought and Confucianism. Don’t go around without any trouble. The safest home is and the danger outside is too dangerous. Why do you go out? This is because the Central Plains is vast and everything is there, and there is nothing. Therefore, over time, everyone feels that there is no need to go out. Moreover, living in a place where the world is not barbarians or Di Rong, then they are all exiled people to go there, and they even despise people going to those places.

Almost everyone opposed it unanimously.

Everyone thinks Han Yi is nonsense.

That was just a personal transaction of the Yuan family, and it was not allowed by the court to go there. It was not controlled by the court's laws, and they did not pay taxes. It was reasonable and the court had no obligation to make decisions for the Yuan family.

Han Yi nodded and said, "Although everyone is right, have you ever thought that once the court is willing to send troops, they can take all those places into my Tang Dynasty territory."

Zhang Wenguan said angrily: "The island may not even be a place outside the world. What's the use of coming!"

Han Yi said: "At that time, Goguryeo was also transformed into a place in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, but Goguryeo brought a lot of wealth to my Tang Dynasty."

"I would also like to ask the Secretary of State to be cautious."

Hao Chujun said seriously: "We sent troops to Goguryeo because the Liaodong region was originally the place of our Central Plains. It was the place where Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and occupied our place. In addition, the previous dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times and formed a deep hatred. This hatred naturally cannot be forgotten. We fought Goguryeo for the sake of the little money. If you say this, then what is the difference between us and robbers?"

Han Yi said: "Has there been no robbery between countries?"

Zhang Wenguan said: "Shangshu Ling, whether it is not a robber or not, your relationship with the Yuan family is not simple. I think it is better for you to avoid suspicion in this matter. You use the power of the country to stand up for you... That lady's family, let alone we will not agree, and all the civil and military officials in the court will not agree. Therefore, no matter what the court plans, you must avoid it, otherwise it will damage the reputation of Shangshu Ling."

The others also nodded one after another. If something had happened to the Yuan family, would you still mention this matter?

The answer is yes, yes.

Because this is what Han Yi arranged, the purpose is to use Southeast Asia to arouse the imperial court's ambition to expand overseas. However, if Han Yi doesn't say this, anyone can understand, even if they know it, it can't change anything, because everyone thinks that the Central Plains is the center of the world and there is no need to go to other places.

Han Yi, who has always been eloquent, was speechless by them, but how could this be possible? Brother Han's eloquence is still first-class even in later generations. His speechlessness is just about making plans for another person. In his plan, this limelight does not belong to him, but to Wu Meiniang. This is particularly important for Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang must be allowed to play the leading role.

"Please listen to me, everyone"

Wu Meiniang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Wu Meiniang in surprise.

When you were talking about serious matters just now, you didn’t say anything. If you spoke again, you were so low-level.

Wu Meiniang glanced at him and said, "I think the court must send troops this time to seek justice for the Yuan family."

Zhang Wenguan frowned and said, "What do the queen say?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Han Yi has already said the truth just now, because the people of the Yuan family are also my people of the Tang Dynasty."

Zhang Wenguan said: "But we have also said that this alone is not enough to mobilize the imperial court. This is purely nonsense."

"Nonsense?"

Wu Meiniang snorted coldly and said, "How come the life of my people in the Tang Dynasty has become nonsense in your mouth? My Tang Dynasty is the world's number one empire. How can those wild monkeys let go wild on our heads? If this is spread, it will make the surrounding vassal states laugh. If I forget this time, then the people of the Tang Dynasty dare not go anywhere, and the surrounding vassal states will not take my Tang Dynasty people to heart. We will use this to tell the surrounding vassal states that if anyone dares to hurt my Tang Dynasty people, we will return it a hundred times."

Zhang Wenguan immediately said, "The Queen has thought that once we send troops, not to mention victory or defeat, even if we win, there will be damage. For just one person, we will only fight a small island country that is not threatening to our Tang Dynasty, and will have hundreds of lives. How can we explain this to Your Majesty and to the people of the world? Is the lives of the Yuan family valuable?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Isn't my Tang army just to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

Hao Chujun said: "Although the queen's words are not unreasonable, the court still has to put the overall situation first. The people who died in Tubo died far more than this time. In this way, the court should also send troops to attack Tubo."

Wu Meiniang said strongly: "Who said that Tubo would be let go? We and Tubo cannot forget every account. We must settle with them in the future."

Everyone was stunned. Did the queen take gunpowder today or did she have menstruation? Why did she become so arrogant?

Liu Xiangdao hurried out to smooth things over, saying, "Empress, the right and wrong of this matter have not been investigated clearly. No matter who the other party is or where he is, it is too impulsive to send troops rashly, and it is definitely not a benevolent act. Besides, the Yilibi Kingdom once paid tribute to our Tang Dynasty. Although it has been replaced by the Buddha's Fai Kingdom, they will never dare to be enemies with our Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the court will send people to the Buddha's Fai Kingdom to investigate the matter clearly. If they really do it first, let them apologize and let the Buddha's Fai Kingdom be my Tang Dynasty's vassal state, how about it?"

Zhang Wenguan said: "What a big deal, and sending people to sea to negotiate with the other side, is really a big deal. Now we still have to focus on internal affairs."

"I also think this is too wasteful. Instead of doing so, it is better to send troops to conquer the enemy directly." Wu Meiniang said: "Now, all sides of the Tang Dynasty have surrendered, except for Tubo. The Western Regions are thousands of miles away. I think expanding overseas may be a way out and is worthy of serious treatment by the court."

Zhang Wenguan said: "The territory of my Tang Dynasty is already invincible and cannot even take care of it. What's the use of those islands?"

Han Yi said: "The island is not as good as the northwest. You can grow grain and cotton, but it cannot be said to be useless."

Lu Shigua frowned and said, "It's useful or not, let's put it aside for now. The queen means to expand her territory through this."

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "I have to use this matter to expand my territory. I just think this battle can kill two birds with one stone. It can not only promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and make the world famous, but also expand its own territory and fight for more fertile land for the Tang Dynasty."

Lu Shi Gua said: "Those who have attained the truth will have many helps, and those who have lost the truth will have few helps. Doing this will only make more vassal states leave us, and force will only make people surrender for a while, not forever. The northwest is the best explanation."

Wu Meiniang raised her lips slightly and said, "But force is always the first step. Did Ashina Helu take the initiative to give it to me in the Tang Dynasty in the northwest? It wasn't it that it was defeated."

"Empress, you are using state affairs as a joke. Do you know how much manpower and material resources are needed to send troops overseas? Since ancient times, no matter how stupid the monarch has done this, no matter what, the old ministers will never agree."

Zhang Wenguan stood up in anger. You are so unreasonable that you are so unreasonable. If she had not been the queen, he would have to scold others.

Lu Shigua also shook his head and said, "We will not agree."

Hao Chujun and Liu Xiangdao made their statements one after another, but they did not agree.

Wu Meiniang snorted coldly: "Your Majesty's life and death are not allowed to be the rule of your people. You should inform Your Majesty of this matter, and Your Majesty will make the rule of yourselves."

"Everything is the only one!"

Zhang Wenguan said: "The old minister will leave first."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Liu Xiangdao and the others also stood up one after another and bowed down.

He kept shaking his head and sighing.

Soon, only Han Yi and Wu Meiniang were left in the Political Affairs Hall.

Wu Meiniang glanced at Han Yi and said, "As you wish, I offended them all."

Han Yi smiled and said, "They are not Li Yi's Mansion, Xu Jingzong, if you offend them once, you will remember them for the rest of your life."

Wu Meiniang felt uncomfortable and said, "Are you pointing at the mulberry tree?"

Why did she mess with Han Yi at the beginning? Didn’t she just offend her?

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "The queen misunderstood. I am definitely not referring to the slaughter of the slaughter. Women are petty, I can understand."

"This is...well?"

Wu Meiniang suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at Han Yi.

Han Yi hurriedly bowed and said, "I have also surrendered."
