Chapter 685: Before the matter is over, the killing and robbery are coming
There was a dead silence in the political hall of Taiji Palace, and the six ministers were not in a hurry to express their attitude, through the faces of the emperor, the crown prince, and the king of Jin, they knew that the emperor and the king of Jin were willing to form an alliance with Tubo, and in order to attract strong reinforcements, they were willing to sacrifice anything, which was the same reason as the alliance with the Turks.
The crown prince Li Jiancheng is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and his scholarly spirit is also relatively heavy, even if the court is difficult, he is against fighting with foreign races, it used to be, and now it is estimated that it is, not to mention, he cherishes his sisters at home like a treasure, and now he sees Lang Ri Zampu begging to marry his sister who brought him up, and his face is also ugly.
Li Yuan saw that everyone was silent, knowing that the reason why the six phases did not express their position was that they cherished their feathers and did not want to bear the bad name of leading foreign races into the country, he was really unhappy in his heart, and said with patience: "Since I let everyone discuss together, I naturally hope that everyone will talk about it, not what I say, everyone is listening, if this is the case, then what is the meaning of the existence of the political affairs hall?" ”
"Holy Lord, Weichen is willing to throw bricks and lead jade." Pei Lin already had a plan in his heart, after he grew his hair, the incense scar was also blocked by his hair and gauze hat, and now he still looks so graceful, as if the years have not left traces on him. It's just that although Pei Lin is one of the 'Seven Phases', his status is not the same as before, and he is no longer Li Yuan's most trusted minister.
"Pei Xiang, please say." Li Yuan smiled.
"Yang Tong is in the prime of life, he is in the year of strength, he is not dead, the Sui Dynasty is not chaotic, the Sui Dynasty under his control has many generals, it is really not a country that can control, we should unite all anti-Sui forces to deal with the arrogant Sui army. Therefore, Weichen thought that the alliance with Tubo was a godsend, and Datang must grasp it, otherwise Datang's situation would be even more dangerous. ”
Pei Lin was deeply humiliated by Yang Tong, became the laughing stock of Shilin, and had a grudge against Yang Tong for killing his son, if Li Yuan was defeated, he knew that his anti-Sui Kai Tang minister would definitely die, and he had no choice; The only way is to assist Li Yuan wholeheartedly, so that Li Tang can split one side, stay in a corner, and survive for a long time, only in this way can he live. This suddenly came a strong reinforcement, how can there be any reason to oppose it?
Liu Wenjing said coldly: "'If you are not of my race, your heart will be different', this is the eternal truth, from ancient times to the present, the entry of foreign races will bring profound disasters to the common people, if I want to maintain the orthodox dynasty, I must not lose the righteousness first." If you lead Tubo into the country and poison Hehuang and Guanzhong, what do people in the world think of my Tang Dynasty? It will arouse the anger of the people of the world and confirm our infamy of betraying the country. ”
Pei Lin sneered and mocked: "I remember well, Liu Xiangguo has sent many envoys to the Turks, and it was under Liu Xiangguo's persuasion that the Turkic Shibi Khan formed an alliance with my Tang Dynasty many times, and sent troops to the Sui Dynasty and Xue Ju, and it was precisely because of the Turkic containment that my Tang Dynasty was able to successfully occupy the state and enter the Guanzhong; It was precisely because the Turks changed from supporting Xue Ju to stabbing in the back that there was a brilliant victory in the shallow water plain. All of this has become Liu Xiangguo's status today, and now he is famous, but what he says about 'righteousness' is too ungrateful. ”
Liu Wenjing did indeed send countless envoys to the Turks, so that the Li Tang Dynasty achieved the purpose of attracting troops from other countries for its own use, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. So when Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor, he was appointed as the chief official of the province under the door, and he was given the title of Duke of Lu. However, Pei Lian, who can only sell obediently and flattering, was named Shangshu's right servant and Wei Guogong, and his status is far above Liu Wenjing.
Liu Wenjing is both talented and far above Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing is naturally very unconvinced, why is he Pei Lian higher than his official position? But he only complained in his heart, what really made their former friends break up was that Li Shimin lost in the battle of Xue Ju, in the battle of Shallow Water Plain, the eight marching commanders of the Tang Dynasty were defeated, five or six out of ten soldiers died, and the generals Murong Luohu, Li Anyuan, and Liu Hongji were all captured.
As the emperor, Li Yuan did not believe in rewards and punishments, was unfair, and was unwilling to let his son Li Shimin bear the responsibility for the fiasco, so he was quite hesitant when he was convicted. Pei Lian, who was deeply aware of the emperor's heart, complied with the emperor's heart, saying that Li Shimin lacked combat experience, and it was normal that he did not expect Xue Ju to secretly attack the Tang army, and Liu Wenjing, who was the marching Sima, had been fighting with the emperor for many years, and was a resourceful and experienced person, otherwise he would not have been allowed to be Li Shimin's military advisor, so everything was Liu Wenjing's fault. Li Yuan originally looked at Liu Wenjing unpleasantly, and wanted to protect Li Shimin, but also wanted Liu Wenjing, who was always contradicting him, to learn a lesson and have a long memory, so he simply designated Liu Wenjing as the main culprit of the failure, and was once cut from his post and removed from his list. In addition, it is also said that Li Shimin suddenly fell ill with malaria, and the person who exercised the power of the chief general was actually Liu Wenjing, the marching army.
And Li Shimin also acquiesced in his father's rhetoric, which caused the strong-tempered Liu Wenjing not only to break with Pei Lian, but also to drift away from his former friend Li Shimin, and finally became the core figure of Li Jiancheng's family.
After that, under Li Yuan's encouragement, whenever it came to decision-making, Liu Wenjing opposed everything that Pei Lin was in favor of, and Liu Wenjing agreed with everything that Pei Lin opposed, and vice versa.
"Talking about righteousness with people like you is simply playing the piano to the cow, let's not talk about this, just talk about things." Pei Lian's unceremonious humiliation also aroused Liu Wenjing's shame and anger, and the years of qi cultivation were broken all of a sudden, and he sneered at each other: "Have you forgotten the fiasco of the Battle of Bingzhou? You said that you could keep the enemy out of the country and assist Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, to build Bingzhou into an insurmountable line of defense, and it was because I believed in you that I launched a full-scale war against the enemies around me. The result? When it came to danger, you knew that there were strong enemies outside Taiyuan such as forests, and there were ambushes everywhere, but you deceived the king of Xiangyi to go out of the city to die, and in the end we not only lost the state, but also killed the king of Xiangyi, Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, Li Shuliang, the king of Changping, and Li Deliang, the king of Xinxing, all fell into the hands of the enemy. After this battle, not only did I lose the annexation of the state, the royal face was ruined, but also because of the loss of the 'Land of Longxing', my army of the Tang Dynasty was unfavorable everywhere. ”
At the beginning, Li Yuan became a left-behind guard in Taiyuan through a series of means, and started from this, not because he liked the rivers and mountains in Taiyuan, but because of the divination alarm clock in the world, the Taoist Qihui said that Taiyuan has dragon qi and is the place to make a fortune. The ancients were extremely superstitious, and Li Yuan, who had long had different ambitions, kept it in mind, and through the ability of the Guanlong nobles, he became the post of staying in Taiyuan step by step.
It's just that before, Li Yuan and the people present didn't realize Qi Hui's proverb of 'get Taiyuan and win the world' criticized by Li Yuan, and they never thought about it. Now when I heard Liu Wenjing's sentence "Losing the 'Land of Longxing' made my Tang Dynasty army unfavorable in battle everywhere", everyone looked weird, especially Li Yuan, whose face changed.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that everything is as Liu Wenjing said, Li Yuan, who owns Taiyuan, easily achieved various victories, and after losing Taiyuan, the Li Tang Dynasty lost everywhere and finally fell to this step.
In an instant, the political hall fell into a strange atmosphere again, as for Pei Lian, who had lost the 'Land of Longxing' and 'caused' Li Tang to have a series of fiascos, he was already frightened and confused, how could he say anything?
Liu Wenjing was very relieved of his hatred, but he didn't plan to let go of Pei Lian, who was like earth, and continued: "Although Pei Xiangguo is not in the army, he is talented and has Xiao He's talent, and because he comes from the famous family Hedong Pei's West Dependents, he has been a knowledgeable person since he was a child, but when he merged with the state, Pei Xiang's various actions were rude everywhere, and he also installed cronies in many fortresses. On the assassination of Yang Tong in Daxing Palace, many people are recommending the firewood horse who is both civil and military, and has been in battle for a long time, but Pei Xiangli overrode public opinion and vigorously recommended Pei Yuma, who only knows poetry and books, and all kinds of strange behaviors are really puzzling. ”
"Slander." Pei Lin knew that Liu Wenjing wanted to kill herself, so she said angrily: "This is for the sake of the country......
Liu Wenjing said lightly: "I didn't slander Pei Xiang, but I just put forward all kinds of unreasonable things on the basis of facts." ”
Li Jiancheng and the others couldn't help but look at Liu Wenjing, and they all had a feeling of 'three days of farewell, impressed'.
His method is too poisonous.
Although he didn't say anything, he had pushed Pei Lin into an extremely severe predicament, and if Pei Lin was not careful, he was very likely to be killed by Li Yuan. However, all the people present knew about the Dugu clan's betrayal of the Tang Dynasty, so when they thought about it according to Liu Wenjing's rhythm, they found that Pei Lian's performance in the Battle of Bingzhou was really unreasonable everywhere, and there were suspicions of deliberately helping Yang Tong everywhere.
In fact, Liu Wenjing's method was really not something he came up with, but the day before yesterday, when he was in the early dynasty, he was subject to Pei Lin and made him disgraced, and he was in a very depressed mood, so he went to find the eldest grandson Wuji to drink. The eldest grandson Wuji knew the cause of Liu Wenjing's depression, so he came up with this idea for him, and said that this method would not annoy the saint, but also clean up Pei Lin ruthlessly.
Seeing Li Yuan's blackened face and Pei Lian's earthy face, Liu Wenjing was so happy that she almost laughed and screamed, and she couldn't wait to go to the eldest grandson Wuji immediately to have a drink.
"I asked you to talk about Tibet, not these, and there is no need to mention the past." Li Yuan's tone was very calm, as if this matter had really passed.
And this made Pei Lin anxious and scattered.
has been a friend and a minister for many years, Pei Lin knows Li Yuan too well, Li Yuan is magnanimous on the surface, but in fact, the city government is very deep, suspicious and suspicious, if the emperor is responsible for this matter on the spot, it is good to ask the reason; If it is not solved immediately, although there is no problem now, he will inevitably fall into this matter in the future. However, the emperor has already expressed his attitude, if he comes to dwell on this matter again, it will only arouse the emperor's suspicion and concern, in the battle of merging the state, and the recommendation of lawyer Pei, it is he Pei Lin who is selfish, but if you really want to say it, it will be very ugly, and the emperor will also think: You Pei Lin dare to be selfish in the crucial battle, what else can't you do? So at this moment, he is saying too much and losing it.
