Empress Zhangsun looked at her husband and sighed silently.
As expected, this matter still left a knot in her husband's heart.
Not long ago, half a month after Li Er ascended the throne, Jie Li led the Turkic army to threaten Chang 'an. In the end, although Li Er acted tough, he was still forced by the situation. At the Wei River Bridge, he killed his favorite white horse and signed some unfriendly agreements with Jie Li.
They should have celebrated after passing the crisis, but Li Er had been depressed.
Li Feng looked at Old Li and chuckled."How else can we look at this matter? Look with your eyes. The implications of this matter were a little big, so it was hard to say.”
Old Sun knew that Li Er had asked this question to test Li Feng's intelligence. On the other hand, he had been frustrated by the Turks recently. He couldn't take this lying down, but the Turks were too powerful and it wasn't appropriate to start a war.
"Little Langjun, hehe, just tell me.”
"It's just a chat."
"This old brother has business dealings with the Turks, so of course he's quite concerned about this matter.”
Old Sun hurriedly said.
Li Feng rubbed his nose and nodded." I see. Since that's the case, I'll just say it casually."”
"Everything that Li Er did this time can only be considered to be within the rules.”
"It's a great merit to avoid a war in Chang 'an. After all, there are too many people in Chang' an. If they wanted to fight, they had to fight in their territory. What was the point of fighting in their own territory? Even if we win, it will be a miserable victory."
Old Li nodded when he heard this." That's true. I think His Majesty should have the same thoughts in his mind. However, why is it that he's following the rules? He had saved the people of Chang 'an. Wasn't that a great merit?”
"A great merit? Hehe, it was important to hold the people of Chang 'an, but it also depended on when.”Li Feng shook his head disapprovingly." If there was war, it would be a great merit. But now that he has ascended the throne, do the Great Tang soldiers lack?" Or did they lack brave generals? We don't lack anything!"
"But why was he forced into Chang 'an by the Turks?”
"Also, he has to agree to Jie Li's conditions, hmph!”
"Every year, they offer so much money to seek peace. If I were Li Er, I would have no face to sit on that chair again.”
Li Feng said faintly.
Old Sun and Old Fang in front were a little flustered. They could hear their own heartbeats.
What the f * ck…
Even they did not dare to say such words in front of Second Emperor Li!!! He really didn't dare!
Both of them picked up their teacups and pretended to drink tea. They glanced at Li Er silently from the corner of their eyes.
What Li Feng said could be said to be harsh.
They all knew that Li Er was arrogant and self-proclaimed himself as the Sage Monarch of the world. He wanted to open up a prosperous era.
But now, it was…
Not only had they been forced by the Turks to kill White Horse, but they had also agreed to a series of conditions that they claimed to be friendly, but they all knew that these conditions were nothing more than protection fees the Great Tang had given the Turks.
Therefore, until now, Li Er still couldn't let go and asked Li Feng this question.
Empress Zhangsun remained calm as she gently stroked Li Er's back.
Li Er took a deep breath.
His expression darkened.
He silently picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then, he looked at Li Feng."This matter has already happened. However, there was no other way. The Turks had a strong military force, and Chang 'an could not gather scattered troops for a while.”
Li Feng nodded." That's true. This matter has already passed." But I heard that Li Er has already sent the first batch of rations to the Turks? Hehe…"
Li Er gripped the teacup tightly.
"Then…in my opinion, what should we do?”
"If we don't give it to them, they will attack. We have no choice.”
Old Sun and Old Fang also put down their cups.
They just listened.
The truth was indeed as Li Er said. After Jie Li withdrew, they discussed for several days and nights, but in the end, there was no better way to replace the tribute.
Li Feng smiled." You're just doing business. It's useless to tell you."”
"Young Langjun, tell me about it. I heard that the Duke of Tang argued for a long time in the court, but there was no solution.”
"We are really curious!"
"The Turks are so powerful now. We truly are terrifying.”
Li Er hurriedly said.
Li Feng smiled and leaned forward slightly."That's true. Since that's the case, I'll tell you. However, you can't casually imitate me. Otherwise, you might attract a fatal disaster!”
Li Feng's voice suddenly became serious.
Li Er and the others exchanged glances and hurriedly promised not to do so.
They were even more curious.
"That's good."
"You should know that there are many tribes in the Turks, and all of them work together for benefits! As long as they disintegrate, it's nothing to worry about. Disintegrating them is very simple…"
"Jie Li and the others are all greedy people. Besides, which one of them doesn't want to annex other tribes and become the only true king of the grassland?”
"This is the dream of all the great tribes! This was the dream in their bones and blood! No one can dispel it."
Li Feng said unhurriedly.
Li Er and the others nodded.
How could they not understand this logic? But how could they make the Turks collapse?
"Let me ask you, if, if a tribe or a few tribes suddenly became rich, what would they do?”
"That's right, they can't control the greed in their hearts! Who would listen to Jie Li's orders?"
"At that time, it will naturally disintegrate.”
Li Feng said faintly.
"Then, how do we make them rich? This was too difficult. Compared to us sending troops to attack them, it's a hundred times, ten thousand times harder!”Old Fang frowned.
Other than giving them a large sum of money, there was no other way for the tribes on the grassland to suddenly become rich.
Old Sun also shook his head.
It was too difficult!
"Impossible!" Li Er exhaled.”
Li Feng laughed and extended a finger."Divide the wealth of the Turks into ten parts. For example, the Uighurs have one part, but they suddenly gain another five parts.”
" And it's still the same. If they get rich, the other tribes will get poorer. When the time comes, the conflict will become more and more prominent. When the time comes…"
Li Feng's meaning was self-evident.
Li Er frowned.
"This is impossible."
Old Fang and Old Sun's eyes were also filled with doubt and confusion.
Li Feng laughed.
He stood up and looked down at the four of them. With his hands behind his back, he said,"No, you can!"
" A terrifying amount of wealth for a short period of time."
"I call this method the lottery!”
