Chapter 299

"How did he go to court today!"

The whole courtier was stunned and stared at the young man, who was Merton.

Although Merton is a marquis, he is young after all. Without the emperor's call, he generally won't go to the court. Seeing that he will succeed in making a marriage, no one thought that the Mohist school would have trouble here.

"Merton, do you know what you're talking about?" the king's censor saw that it was Merton, and immediately became angry. It would be a great achievement for him to promote reconciliation and friendship between Tuyuhun and Datang.

"I'm against reconciliation!" Merton repeated word by word.

Many officials could not help but frown. In this era, it is common to make peace. Even many military generals believe that this kind of thing is the most cost-effective thing.

"Hahaha, I originally wanted to promote this beautiful thing to the king, but I didn't expect your country to disagree. In that case, I made it clear that unless Princess ice and snow is reconciled with the king's son, other princesses will not succeed." seeing this, the messenger Tuyuhun turned his eyes and took the opportunity to threaten.

"Merton, do you know that if the two countries fight together, life will be ruined and you will be a sinner for thousands of years."

Seeing this, Wang Yushi couldn't help but get angry in his heart. After such a stir in the Mohist school, he saw that the marriage he was going to make suddenly came to naught.

Merton sneered. Tuyuhun didn't intend to reconcile at all, but Merton clearly remembered that in history, the Tang Dynasty had promised to make peace with the king's son, and then Tuyuhun intensified and plundered the two states again.

"Peace depends on the swords and shields of Tang soldiers, not on a woman who makes her bear humiliation and commit herself to a jackal. If peace is obtained by a woman's body, what's the use of me, Tang man!" Merton said angrily.

Merton Merton's words immediately made the Manchu officials blush. They were impassioned and closed their mouth about national interests, but they never considered their feelings as a friendly woman.

At the moment, Merton's sentence directly pierced the window paper, making this fact bloody in front of everyone.

Wang Yushi's face turned red and argued: "peace and marriage have existed since ancient times. Zhaojun went out of the fortress and left the pass alone. I have had no trouble in China for 60 years. The people live and work in peace and contentment. Zhaojun's name is passed down in history. It's an unparalleled story. You should interpret peace and marriage with such a dirty thought. It's like deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors."

Merton sneered, "what about sixty years later?"

Wang Yushi immediately choked. After 60 years of Zhaojun's exile, it was naturally a resurgence of border diseases, but it was very cost-effective for a woman to exchange 60 years of peace, but such words could only be understood and could not be said in public.

"Everyone knows that making peace is to eliminate border problems, but he doesn't know that the princess who made peace in the past dynasties ended up very miserable. Looking at the princess who made peace in the history books of the past dynasties, his end can be described as extremely miserable, of which more than half of them died young." Merton's voice was sad.

"My family married me to the heaven and entrusted me to the Wusun king of a foreign country. The vault house is the room, the felt is the wall, the meat is the food, and the cheese is the pulp. I often think of my heart, and I am willing to return to my hometown for the yellow swan." as soon as Merton published this poem, all the courtiers burst into Hao Ran. Everyone knew that it was a poem by Princess Xijun of the Han Dynasty. Princess Xijun married Wusun far away, and died in a foreign land when she was young.

"The other surviving princesses are even more miserable. Historical records once recorded:" the marriage customs of all parts of the grassland, including the death of the father, the death of the wife, the stepmother and the death of the brother, all marry their wife. This marriage method is a heinous crime in the Tang Dynasty. Such a crime contrary to human relations, we are deeply taught by the sage. How can we have the heart to push a woman into a heinous crime. " Merton said sarcastically.

The minister in the court immediately blushed with shame. According to the marriage customs of all parts of the grassland, how could the courtiers not know that the Tang Dynasty thought it was a kingdom of heaven and etiquette, and it was really not a gentleman to let a woman endure such humiliation.

Wang Yushi was tongue tied and tried to refute several times, but he couldn't say anything. From the perspective of the princess, this is indeed the cruelest thing in the world. It can be said that the princesses married to the grassland either go to death or live rather than die.

"The peace gained by pushing a woman into a desperate situation is unacceptable to Weichen," Merton said firmly.

"I am against reconciliation!" Merton said proudly again.

"Please forgive me that the old minister can't accept the peace exchanged with a woman's body." Qin Qiong was the first to stand up and support Merton.

"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun has repeatedly violated the border. Our officers and men of the Tang Dynasty have been very angry for a long time. Countless people have asked for war. If we make a peace, I'm afraid we will disappoint the officers and men of the border crossing!" Cheng Yaojin also shouted. When it comes to war, he is a militant.

"The courtiers are against peace and marriage!" suddenly the wind direction of the whole courtiers changed, and almost most of the courtiers are against peace and marriage.

The military attache opposed the marriage because the men in the army were bloody. The civil minister opposed the marriage because of morality. After all, it made a woman fall into an unforgivable crime, and no one wanted to be so infamous.

Moreover, in terms of strength, Datang's strength is far above Tuyuhun, and even the grassland overlord Turks are defeated in Datang's hands, let alone Tuyuhun.

The reason why people agreed to make peace with each other before was that they wanted to solve the border problems in the simplest way. However, Merton's words at the moment immediately plunged everyone into moral torture. Naturally, no one supported making peace with each other.

The messenger of Tuyuhun was stunned. He didn't expect that the upcoming marriage would be stirred up by a teenager.

"Tuyuhun is holding peace talks in good faith. You are not afraid of the war between the two countries and the loss of life." Tuyuhun's envoy shouted.

Merton snorted coldly: "Friends come with good wine, jackals come with long guns! If Tuyuhun comes with peace and sincerity, Mo will certainly entertain him with the best solution to thousands of worries. Tuyuhun deceives me. Datang is kind and has repeatedly violated the border. How can our Datang suffer such humiliation? Don't you know that our Datang territory is ten times better than its territory, its population is ten times better than its population, and its food and grass are ten times better than its. Tuyuhun will lose in the war between the two countries."

The envoy of Tuyuhun looked flustered and said strongly, "Tuyuhun has 400000 people who control strings. Once the war starts, the winner is still unknown."

Merton said coldly: "All the people in Tuyuhun are soldiers. They herd horses in peacetime and serve as soldiers in wartime. Maybe there are 400000 men like you. However, according to my statistics, every time Tuyuhun invades the border, it is because these soldiers are young and need to graze in spring and summer. I only need to send troops to fight in spring and summer for three years at most. Tuyuhun must have no grazing, the grassland is deserted, and cattle and sheep die Absolutely. Over time, Tuyuhun will break through. "

As soon as Merton said this, Tuyuhun turned pale. This is indeed Tuyuhun's death. If Datang decides to attack Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun may not be Datang's opponent.

The messenger of Tuyuhun couldn't help looking for help to the Tubo messenger on the side, but he didn't know that Merton's eyes had been staring at the Tubo messenger on the side. Suddenly, the Tubo messenger's heart was cold.

What Merton said is Tuyuhun's weakness, and Tubo is not so.

When the Minister of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty saw Merton's speechless remarks about the envoys of Tubo and Tuyuhun, he couldn't help but praise them in his heart.

"It's quite vertical and horizontal."
