Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

The plan of sending the Turkic people back to show that the Tang Dynasty will deal with the surrender leniently also expressed Li Shimin's heartfelt feelings. In fact, one of the purposes for him to spare Jieli's life was to let everyone in the world know: Surrender and lose half, and forcefully bear all the losses. It doesn't matter if you can't win the battle, just surrender as soon as possible, at least you can save your life.

Sending troops to defeat the opponent is prestige, and leaving the opponent's life that has no threat to oneself is grace, and this is Li Shimin's emperor's way. Moreover, the Art of War once said that the best policy is to subdue others without fighting. The combination of kindness and Wei is just one part of this best policy.

However, the previous wave of people who proposed recycling said: These Turkic people hold a grudge against Datang, how will they think that Datang spared their lives in the future? I'm afraid that after they go back, they are gearing up to accumulate strength, and when they are fully prepared, they will raise the flag to rebel again when they have strength, and there will be endless troubles.

Embarrassingly, something like this has happened more than once.

Well, as the saying goes, the minds of people who are not of our race must be different, such worries are not entirely unreasonable. Although the Tang Dynasty may not be able to suppress the Turkic people's comeback again, Li Shimin did not want to do the stupid thing of letting the tiger go back to the mountain. This would undermine his authority.

Two groups of people come and go to argue endlessly.

Li Shimin also asked Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Chen Yin and others for their opinions. However, each of them can only give a plausible answer from the perspective of their own consideration of the problem.

After all, these two solutions are very reasonable, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but the starting point is different. No one can come up with a new point of view that is really final or enough to wake up the dreamer.

It seems that there are only pros and cons in front of Li Shimin. Anyway, no matter which side you choose, you have to bear the consequences - if you choose to turn 100,000 captives into slaves, then the countries around Datang will strongly fear Datang in the future, and when Datang wants to conquer them in the future, the resistance will increase many times; If you choose to release the 100,000 captives back to the Turks, then you will have the risk of letting the tiger go back to the mountain and planting hidden dangers for the future.

Li Shimin tapped his knuckles on the table several times. This desk from IKEA suddenly reminded him of Li Xin. This kid has been too quiet for a while, he just turned a deaf ear to the ups and downs in the court, and pretended not to hear, and he didn't know what to do when he was locked up in the Chu Palace.

When he remembered that when he was so troubled, this stinky boy didn't know how to share his worries, but only knew to be lazy, Li Shimin felt his teeth itching with hatred.

"Go to this brat. Just use this question to test him. If you don't answer well, you can use this as an excuse to beat him up and teach him a good lesson." While thinking this way, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel that he was wise, and at the same time felt that A burst of intense regret.

After all, when I think about it seriously, I don't know when was the last time Li Xin was spanked. Why did this kid suddenly become so obedient? I can't find a suitable excuse to beat him up

"Pack up your things and get ready, I'm going to visit the Chu Palace." Li Shimin said with a smile.

The servant next to him saw that the emperor, who had been troubled by how to deal with the Turkic captives for several days, finally showed a smiling face, and said with a little relief: "Yes."

Soon, Li Shimin changed his clothes, set up the frame, left the palace very low-key, and went straight to the Chu Palace in Chongyifang.
