Chapter 1723

He glanced at the crowd and said slowly, "Dear Aiqing, what should these spies do?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone frowned. Look at me, I look at you, pretending to be mute.

Wei Zheng, who was standing in front of him, turned his head and glanced at the crowd with a burst of contempt in his heart.

Secret way, you quarrel the most at ordinary times. Why don't you talk now?

Start acting dumb one by one?

After a cold hum, Wei Zheng took a step forward with white jade GUI: "Your Majesty, Weichen suggested that all these spies be let go."

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng in surprise: "Aiqing, why do you propose to let these people go?"

"Yes, why did Lord Wei say to let these spies go?"

"As everyone knows, what harm will these people do to Datang?"

Everyone looked at Wei Zheng with a questioning face.

"Let's not talk about the loss to Datang caused by killing these people. Even if we kill them, there will be follow-up spies who will continue to sneak into Datang. Can you finish killing thousands of spies? If we let these spies go, it will be different."

Wei Zheng smiled faintly and said slowly.

A Taishiling came out and said curiously, "what's the difference?"

Wei Zheng glanced at the Tai Shiling and said, "if we let these people go, we can paralyze these countries and let them relax their vigilance, which is more convenient for us to act in Datang."

"How can we do this? If we let these people go, they will think that we Datang are afraid of them."

The Taishi ordered Da Xiu to wave and was very dissatisfied. Then he looked at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, please give an order. I am willing to lead troops to attack Tubo, Zhenla and other countries immediately. It only needs 200000 troops."

As soon as the voice fell, a row of generals stood up as if they had beaten chicken blood.

"Your Majesty, I only need 150000 troops and horses to attack Tuyuhun immediately, demonstrating the majesty of the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, as long as 100000 troops and horses can attack the Japanese pirates."

People played one after another to show their determination to make contributions.

"Nonsense."

Changsun Wuji immediately stood up and scolded: "now the battle in Kucha is becoming more and more fierce, how can we attack other countries? And Lord Wei is right. Releasing these spies is undoubtedly the best choice for our Tang Dynasty."

With that, changsun Wuji ignored the Taishi order, but looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest you let go of these spies."

As soon as the voice fell, other Wen ministers made eye contact and came forward one after another: "minister, seconded."

"I seconded."

……

Seeing this, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly and didn't speak, but his mind was turning rapidly.

According to Wei Zheng, letting the spies go and making friends with Zhenla, Tubo and Tuyuhun also paralyzed each other and made them think that Datang was afraid.

At most, it means losing face. In this way, it is more conducive to the development after the Tang Dynasty.

But if we go to war with these countries, the battle in Kucha will be affected. Once the other party becomes angry and unites with Turks and Tianzhu, Datang can't resist it.

At that time, it will not be about a few spies, but about several countries.

Just let these spies go.

After making up his mind, Li Shimin glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I've decided to let the spies go."

As soon as the voice fell, the faces of all the generals changed and quickly arched their hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't let these people go. Where is the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, your majesty, you must not let these people go."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and waved his big sleeve: "I've decided this matter. Don't discuss it again. Yuchi Gong, let these spies go immediately after you go down."

With that, Li Shimin walked out of the side hall without looking back.

Royal study.

Li Shimin sat on the Dragon chair, holding a lit cigarette in his hand, took a deep breath and spit out smoke, looking like enjoyment.

A moment later, several heads poked out of the door.

Li Shimin looked at Yuchi Gong and others in the hall just now.

"Come in."

Li Shimin took down the cigarette and said faintly.

Wen Yan, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng, changsun Wuji and others all walked into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty."

Everyone bowed.

Li Shimin spits out a mouthful of smoke and slowly says, "there's no need to be polite in the study. Let's talk about what happened in the hall just now."

Although he agreed to let the spies go just now, he still had some confusion in his heart.

After all, these guys have a purpose and still need to be guarded.

Wei Zheng took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's nothing to let the spies go. This is also a step to ease the war in Datang guici, but I'm afraid..."

At this point, Wei Zheng frowned.

"Lao Wei, what are you afraid of? Hurry up. You're stuck at the key time."

Cheng Yaojin said discontentedly.

Wei Zheng glanced at Cheng Yaojin unhappily. Seeing that Li Shimin was also a little impatient, he said, "Your Majesty, do you remember borrowing Tubo and Tuyuhun food before the Tang Dynasty?"

Hearing the speech, Li Shimin was stunned.

He clearly remembers that the plague of locusts in Tubo and Tuyuhun was so noisy that Zhang Feng designed one. Only then did he borrow food.

You know, Tubo and Tuyuhun are in remote areas, and they can't cook at home.
