Chapter 268 Li Ji is very upright

Li Ji's words came to the ground, and the ministers in the hall all breathed a sigh of relief. As long as someone was willing to make the decision!

Ministers can discuss matters face to face with the emperor in Ganlu Hall. No matter how good the relationship between these ministers is and how hypocritical they are, but if you want to be hypocritical, everyone can do it. Not to mention civil officials like Changsun Wuji, even military generals are no exception!

Li Ji said he was willing to go, but Changsun Wuji's first thought was joy, but he sighed in his heart. He said that he was upright and selfless, he could not compare to Li Ji!

Fang Xuanling was also a little happy and sighed in his heart that I had made great contributions to the planning of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, but the emperor compared Li Ji to the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty. I was not even a battlement. I was not convinced before. Now it seems... I was only a battlement at most!

Yuchi Gong thought to himself: "When the emperor had a banquet for the ministers, some people were above me, and I was so angry that I blinded him. When I was queuing up in my life, others were in front of me! But you, Li Ji, were in front of me, I obeyed, you, you are better than me!"

Cheng Zhijie touched the bearded man and thought to himself: "Old Li Ji, don't think you are better than me in everything. Humph, I have something better than you. I can swing an axe, do you?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you Maogong for your hard work!"

Even if this matter was decided, everyone agreed that Li Ji would take the blame. It was very good, very good, and very good! But everyone opposed it together, expressed deep sympathy for Li Ji, and had a great friendship with colleagues!

Changsun Wuji said: "Mr. Mao, you must know that the evil of smallpox is that you have to overcome smallpox, but you have children at home, right? If you come back, your clothes are accidentally infected with smallpox disease, and Wang Ping'an cannot successfully prevent it, will your family be affected!"

Fang Xuanling said, "Mr. Mao, you are not happy. Just send someone to do this. Why do you have to go there in person?"

Yuchi Gong felt a little ashamed and said, "Mr. Mao, why don't I go with you?"

Cheng Zhijie also said: "Mr. Mao, we are all old brothers, why don't I accompany you... let Jingde accompany you!"

Li Ji cursed in his heart: "You old men, you must be as bad as you are! You didn't say anything just now, but when the emperor said thank you for your hard work, you were busy farting, and would you want to kill me?"

He said with great gratitude: "My brothers, I have all received your kindness. It is too dangerous to diagnose the disease of smallpox. You have also seen that I am sick and I have lived for one more day, so I will make a profit. Let me go. At least I will do something for the Tang Dynasty and the emperor before I die, and it will not be a waste of life!"

He turned around, patted the back of Yuchi Gong's hand, and said, "Thank you, Brother Jingde, I appreciate your kindness. Our brothers, it would be too vain to say anything else!"

Everyone nodded together, yes, it would be too empty to say something else, it would be enough to be a little empty, why bother to be too empty? That's so embarrassing!

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Nothing else matters. What is important is how to keep this matter confidential. At least in the next two years, news about smallpox should not be transmitted to Goguryeo. I discussed with Wuji and should make good use of those messengers..."

He roughly said the methods he had discussed with Changsun Wuji. They were all smart people present, and there was no need to say too much, they were all people who could understand them at all!

After hearing what the emperor said, the ministers nodded and expressed their support. This method is good. Even if smallpox is prevented, it will be promoted nationwide, and it will not be spread to Goguryeo within two to three years.

The terrible thing about the disease of smallpox is that it will cause many children to die prematurely. If the Tang Dynasty deliberately... no, the people of the Tang Dynasty are good people and will never do anything contrary to morality. It means that some bad people deliberately use smallpox diseases to get rid of Goguryeo and make the plague spread, which will inevitably cause thousands of children in Goguryeo to die prematurely. In this way, there will be no one in Goguryeo and the national strength will be greatly damaged. It will be much easier to destroy it again!

After hearing this, Li Ji coughed heavily, spit out a large mouthful of phlegm, stood up, and shouted: "Why do you have to do this? The old minister dares to ask the emperor, is it a good or a bad thing to diagnose the disease of smallpox?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Of course it's a good thing. Although there are many major events in the world, there are not many things that are better than this!"

Li Ji said again: "My Tang Dynasty is glorious, and the emperor is respected by all countries as the Khan of Heaven. He is the common ruler of the world. No matter who is in the world, he is the subject of the emperor, including the Goguryeo people. Although they resist the power of the Heavenly Dynasty, they still recognize that the Tang Dynasty is its sect leader in the letter of the country. Could it be that the emperor has a new law that can prevent the evil diseases of smallpox, and will he not tell the Goguryeo people and let them continue to be disturbed by the plague?"

These words are quite like "Sacred of Spring and Autumn", which makes the monarch and ministers in the palace speechless, and everyone curses in their hearts that Goguryeo is the enemy country, and Goguryeo is the enemy. Whether they die is your fault. If you want you to talk nonsense here, what big truths are you talking about? We have a special meeting to see who shouts louder!

After a while of silence, facing Li Ji who was righteous, Changsun Wuji said, "That's the saying, the truth is the same, but... Confucius said: Isn't it a good idea to learn and practice it from time to time. We all know too little about the principles of governing the world, and we have to make plans for a long time!"

The most difficult thing in the world to refute is the great truth. Sometimes, even though you know it is wrong and not practical, you can stand at the starting point of "morality", even if it is a fallacy, it is difficult to refute it!

Li Ji said, "What Wuji said is bad. Do you still have to wait to read the book with such an ordinary truth?" He coughed a few more times and spit out a large mouthful of phlegm. Then he clasped his fists at Li Shimin and shouted: "Your Majesty, from the superficial view of the old minister, after we have confirmed the method of preventing smallpox, we should immediately give it to Goguryeo and let them quickly inform all Goguryeo people so that their people will not be disturbed by the evil diseases of smallpox!"

The people in the palace all started to yell together, thinking in their hearts: "Mr. Mao, it's hot, it's going to burn you. Come home and have some mung bean soup!"

Cheng Zhijie really couldn't listen anymore. Li Ji was usually smart, why did he become confused today! He said with a loud voice: "Why should we send the things we have worked hard to diagnose to the Goguryeo people? Why do we need to give them cheap? Even if you flatter them and send good things to their hands, they will not accept your affection. Instead, they will say that this method is not easy to use and is a lie to them. If you don't believe it, just watch it... Hey, oh, ah!"

He slapped his thighs and shouted, "Yes, you have to tell them this method early!"

The monarch and ministers in the palace suddenly realized, yes, this method should be given to the Goguryeo people early to know, and they must not be kept secret from them!

For the normal thinking, let alone the Tang Dynasty people, first talk about modern people. If anyone wins the grand prize, then in general, except for extremely special circumstances, this person will keep a secret. Few people will shout around, saying that I won the grand prize, I got rich overnight, and I got a lot of money, and everyone came to my house to have a drink!

Under normal circumstances, no one will do this. Even if you go to receive the prize, you will wear a big mask and sunglasses!

For the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, they were not friends, but mortal enemies. In the former Sui Dynasty, they died in Goguryeo, and even Li Shimin personally fought eastward, but he suffered a loss. For the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo had to be destroyed and the country had to be destroyed. There was no room for negotiation. Even if Goguryeo surrendered, it would still not work, and it would have to be destroyed!

Similarly, the same is true for the Goguryeo people. If there are good things, the Tang Dynasty will never remember itself, but if there are bad things, they will definitely remember itself! We will not believe what the Tang Dynasty people say, so you save money!

To prevent smallpox, the more they keep secrets from Goguryeo, the more their spies will find out the matter and return it to their country. But on the other hand, they asked the Tang Dynasty to send envoys to tell Goguryeo happily, and the result was the opposite. Even if they were hung up and pulled the Goguryeo people and forced them to believe this, even if they were tortured to death, they would not believe it!

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji both used normal thinking at the beginning, and they both thought about keeping it confidential, but unexpectedly, when Li Ji thought about it with abnormal thinking, he suddenly came up with the correct answer!

Li Shimin thought to himself: "Mr. Mao has studied the ideas of Goguryeo people very thoroughly. It seems that those who destroy this villain in the future will undoubtedly be Mao Gong!"

Yuchi Gong slapped his thigh and shouted, "A real man should act openly and honestly. This matter is beneficial to the whole world. How can you not tell the people of Goguryeo? You must tell them!"

Changsun Wuji also nodded and said, "Yes, this matter should be told to them. But I am afraid that they will have misunderstandings. You guys, you must know that to prevent smallpox, you must first get smallpox. When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it, and when I told it to the emperor, the emperor didn't believe it. Then let's tell it to the Goguryeo people, what if they didn't believe it?"

Fang Xuanling said enthusiastically: "Then tell them in detail, the more detailed the better!"

Everyone in the palace thought to themselves: "I'm afraid the more detailed they say, the more they will feel that we are lying, and the more they will not believe it!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "All the kings under the world are the kings, the kings and ministers under the shores of the land. The Goguryeo people are also my people. I really have to tell them about this, and I should indeed tell them!"

"Yes, we must tell them about this, and once it is confirmed, we must use a fast horse to tell Goguryeo, so that their people will be protected from the evil diseases of smallpox from then on!" said the ministers together.

Li Ji sat down and said, "Since this is the case, the prevention of smallpox disease should not be kept confidential. It should be widely announced. The Secretariat of the State Council invented a document to inform the people of the world, and let the people cooperate and prove this method as soon as possible!"

Li Shimin said: "Yes, let me leave this matter to Wuji!"

Changsun Wuji stood up and shouted: "I will do this, please don't worry, the emperor!"

Li Shimin stood up and said to his ministers: "Three days later, I will tell the sky at Chengtian Gate. Although the word "tian" is called "tian", it is not the punishment given by God to our Tang Dynasty. This should not have been the suffering that our people in the Tang Dynasty should suffer. However, even if the punishment given by God can be defeated by heaven, man can overcome heaven. The king and the people of the Tang Dynasty are united and vow to fight against this evil disease to the end!"

"Man can overcome nature!" The ministers stood up together and shouted loudly!

Wang Ping'an slept until afternoon, then woke up, washed his face, and walked out of the bedroom. Before he could reach the front yard, Ouyang Li ran over in panic, holding a big handful of scroll in his hand!

Ouyang Li shouted: "Master, it's a big deal. Hundreds of scholars outside the temple are clamoring to see you! They said they would go to your investment bank and ask you to be their confidant!"

As he said that, he shook the scroll in his hand at Wang Ping'an and said, "I actually stuffed all the scrolls to me. I have to ask my master to go out. No matter how I drive them away, they will not leave!"

Wang Ping'an was shocked and said, "What? Ask for a confidant? Why... How do you ask for a confidant to come to me? I am not a famous scholar or a high-ranking official..."

Before he finished speaking, he recalled that he was not a famous scholar, not just a famous scholar, but a famous scholar. Why was he not a high-ranking official? He has become a chief officer and has become an imperial physician order. For scholars who have no fame, he is already a very large official!

Ouyang Li said: "Master, then do you want to go out to meet them?"

Wang Ping'an looked depressed. How could he not see him? If he didn't go out to see him, there would be rumors immediately, saying that he was so arrogant, looked down on others, and disrespectful to literary people! That would be a big trouble. Rumors have always become more and more outrageous. There are possibilities to directly spread themselves as a bastard!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Then go out and take a look. Just ask them to leave with kind words. These people are really, I have no influence on the scientific examination. I would rather ask Qiu Tingxuan, as his father-in-law will be very powerful in the future!"

He walked out of the backyard and slowly entered the front yard. Ouyang Li held the scroll and followed behind him!

The front and back yards were not far away. As soon as he stepped into the front yard, he saw hundreds of scholars sitting or standing waiting for him, all dressed in neat clothes, wearing scholar scarves on their heads and swords on their waists. He gathered together in groups of three or five, wondering what he was talking about!

When they saw Wang Ping'an coming out, the scholars were immediately in an uproar, shouting, rushing to come over, shouting, "Students, see Lord Wang!" Then, all the scholars knelt down!

Just like rehearsed in advance, the scholars shouted together: "Students are willing to ask the leader to review the students' poems and criticize and correct them, and the students are very grateful!"

Wang Ping'an grinned and shouted, "Leader, what leader, when did I become a leader!" This word is a bit too big, it is inappropriate to use it on himself!

The scholars shouted again: "Mr. Wang, you are the leader of my literary world in the Tang Dynasty. Looking at Chang'an, there is no other way!"
Chapter completed!
