Zhao Yu patronized his own lip service, but ignored that these wives were not born in a family of eunuchs, but they were also influenced by Confucian culture since childhood, so countless white eyes flew towards him, obviously he said "Won the reputation of the scholar, moved by the heart of the vulgar" and put them and their families into it. But the matter has come to this, and I must not give in to this matter, otherwise I will become a handle, and they will take it out and beat it all the time.

"The official family has never believed in the number of fates, but now they say that Li Guang's lives are not good, is it suspected of being unreasonable?" Sure enough, Wu Xi was the first to make a mistake.

"The number of lives that the queen said refers to the reason why Li Guanglongxi killed and surrendered, and was determined by the warlocks of the rivers and lakes that he could not be crowned a marquis?" Zhao Yu took another sip of tea before asking.

This matter has been recorded in the wild history, for the statement that he can't be a marquis, Li Guang himself said: Lao Tzu has been fighting all his life, and his subordinates have been marquis, and his ability is very good, but I have never had a fief, shouldn't I be a marquis? Or is it meant to be like this? At that time, a charlatan warlock answered and said: General, think about it, have you ever done anything to regret?

Li Guang thought about the time when he was a high-ranking official in Longxi, the Qiang people there rebelled, and he tricked them into surrendering, and about 800 people were slaughtered. He regretted it. The warlock slapped his thigh, that's it, kill and surrender this is the reason why you can't be a marquis. You see that Xiang Yu also surrendered, and finally ended up with Wujiang killing himself. Li Guang was frightened into a cold sweat when he heard this, and in the end, he really apologized for his guilt.

But history is such a coincidence, and Li Guang's descendants are also miserable. Li Guang's eldest son, Li Danghu, and his second son, Li Jiao, both hung up before Li Guang's death. The only youngest son, Li Kang, was finally shot to death by Huo Quai, and his grandson's Li Ling had to surrender to the Xiongnu, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exterminated his family; And another grandson, Li Yu, was framed by Jiang Chong and executed in the witch curse, and his lineage was considered dead.

"No, the concubine is talking about the battle of Mobei, Emperor Wu sent the general Wei Qing to attack the Huns, before leaving, Emperor Wu told him, 'Li Guanglao, the number is strange, don't order to be alone, I'm afraid you can't do what you want.'" At the time, people also said that Li Guang was strange, and Li Guang also believed it. Wu Xi looked at the emperor and said.

"Hehe, the queen has no other meaning in saying this!" Zhao Yu smiled when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart that this person who has read the book is different, and he is clearly turning a corner to mock himself, which means that it is precisely because of the attitude of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Li Guang's tragic fate is determined in his life.

"Your Majesty, is your heart weak?" Wu Xi poured tea for the emperor and said with a smile.

"The number of lives I am talking about is actually not contradictory to the queen!" Zhao Yu picked up the cup but didn't drink water, but playfully said, "Actually, not only Emperor Wu once said so. Emperor Wen also said to Li Guang: It's a pity, the son doesn't meet the time. thought that his life was not at the right time, if he was born in the period of Gaozu, he would definitely be able to make meritorious contributions, and it was logical to take a marquis of ten thousand households; It's a pity that you are here with me, wronged. Zhao Yu said with a smile, Wu Xi's face was a little unnatural, and he continued.

"During the period of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, the national strategy was to recuperate and recuperate, and it was not allowed to start a war, so Li Guang had no chance to make war exploits, which was the fate I said. Among the people who were unhappy with Li Guangming, it was often heard that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deliberately suppressed the talented veteran Li Guang because of the reuse of his relatives. This statement cannot be wrong, the Western Han Dynasty is known as the emperor and his relatives share the world, and it is indeed a historical fact that Emperor Wu reused his relatives. ”

"However, our descendants should also see a historical fact, in addition to Li Guangli, the waste wood who looked away in the later period, the generals of the foreign relatives did fight for Emperor Wu. In the most important first sortie, among the four generals, Wei Qing and Gongsun He were relatives, and the other two Li Guang and Gongsun Ao were not. And it was precisely the two generals who were not relatives who ended in a fiasco, Li Guang's entire army was annihilated, Gongsun Ao lost seven-tenths, and Gongsun He, a relative general, had no merit or loss, and Wei Qing achieved the only victory in this operation - smashed Dragon City and beheaded 700 people. ”

"Even as Your Majesty said, there is also a saying that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and there are very few generals who will win a hundred battles. And Li Guang was defeated once, and he can't conclude from this, and he has also achieved great victories afterwards! Although Zhang Ping agreed with the emperor's statement, he could not agree.

"Yes, there have been many famous generals in the past, but there are few generals who have not been defeated. But Emperor Wu also gave Li Guang full trust, but unfortunately he messed things up, every time Li Guang attacked, he was either captured or lost his way, even if he won a big battle, it was a loss of troops and a huge consumption. Such a combat achievement, if you are Emperor Wu, it is impossible to entrust Li Guang with a heavy responsibility, and naturally in the eyes of the pragmatist Emperor Wu, he is not qualified to be a marquis. Zhao Yu winked at him. If I can't convince you, I won't have a fire in my backyard in the future.

"So, does the official family think that Li Guang's record is false, or is his ability insufficient?" Li Sanniang is a person who has led soldiers, so she naturally knows that unless the main general is crazy, she will let a guy who has been defeated again and again lead the troops, but she feels that the praise of Li Guang in the past dynasties makes people dare not doubt it.

"From my point of view, Li Guang's record is indeed not very good, although he has fought more than 70 battles in his life, most of them are in a defensive state when Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, and they are all small battles, and there is no big credit. In the five large-scale battles in which Emperor Wu took the initiative to attack, Li Guang did not find the enemy three times, and the whole army was wiped out twice. Even Ma Qian, who praised him for his pen, hesitated again and again, and there was no place to list it in detail, which shows that his military achievements were insufficient. Zhao Yu said, "In addition, Li Guang is brave and good at fighting, but I think he is okay to be a general, but he can't be a handsome!" ”

"Oh, how can the official family assert that Li Guang is a general, and he will be very good for the general, and the sergeants are willing to serve him. In addition, its archery is outstanding, the world can be called invincible, the Huns are timid, often alone in the enemy formation, it can be seen that its bravery. Moreover, although he was not crowned a marquis, in later generations Tang Dezong, he enshrined Li Guang and other 64 famous generals with outstanding martial arts in history in the Wucheng Wang Temple, known as the 64 generals of the Wucheng Wang Temple; During the reign of Huizong of this dynasty, Li Guangwei was also posthumously honored as Huairoubo, and he was ranked as one of the seventy-two generals of the Song Wu Temple. Chen Shuyan said.

However, she also knew that what the emperor said just now was true, and often spent a lot of pen and ink describing how brave Li Guang was when he killed the enemy, but once it came to the specific number of enemies, Taishi Gong always replaced it with vague words such as "beheading too much" and "killing too much", that is, he refused to give a clear number. The same as Sima Qian's record, Fan Hao and others, who are familiar to everyone, will patiently record their military exploits one by one.

His eldest son Li Danghu actually dared to chase and beat Han Yan, the male favorite of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only blamed but praised Li Danghu for being very brave, which shows that he is at least a very trusted person in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Li Guang's second son, Li Jiao, was worshiped as the Taishou of the county early, and the third son, Li Kang, was first named a marquis for his meritorious service against the Huns, and soon after he replaced his father Li Guang as Lang Zhongling, and Li Guang's cousin Li Cai was the prime minister of the Han Empire. ”

It can be seen that Li Guang's relationship with the royal family is very close, and family members are often reused, and there is no reason for other members of the family to be reused, and Li Guang alone is particularly discriminated against and suppressed everywhere. But he couldn't, and privately accepted the general seal issued by King Liang, who coveted the throne, which made Emperor Han Jing very unhappy, which shows that he still has problems with his ability. ”

He cherished his soldiers, ate and lived together, and often made his subordinates grateful to Dade. However, it was indeed obtained on the basis of lax management of the army and excessive leniency of subordinates, and discipline is precisely where the combat effectiveness of an army is maintained, and it is not difficult to explain its frequent defeats; In addition, although he has a straightforward personality, he has a narrow chest and a small amount. When he was demoted to the people, he was troubled by an official, and when he was reused again, the first thing he did was to ask the emperor to let the official join the army, and kill him for some reason, thinking that a general could not tolerate a small official in his chest, let alone the princes of the world? Zhao Yu continued to argue.

"Li Guang's archery skills are outstanding, and he is good at fighting alone, but he can barely be regarded as a personal bravery. But when it comes to the operation of a large army, it has the ability to coordinate and lacks experience and talent in this area. He participated in the war against the Xiongnu, as evidenced by the fact that he lost his way many times. And in the last battle, Li Guang, as a former general, lost his way because he didn't have a guide and fell behind Wei Qing, doesn't it show that he lacks the ability to command the army? If I have such a general, I will definitely replace him, so as not to delay the fighter. It should be said that it is difficult to seal the marquis, and the lack of ability accounts for at least seventy percent! ”

"There are thousands of heroes in the world, so why do the literati like Li Guang alone, and don't hesitate to write and write for his monument and praise it through the ages?" Wang Yu listened for a long time and understood that the emperor did not approve of Li Guang very much, so she asked.

"After talking for a long time, only Concubine Chen asked a little bit." Zhao Hao praised first, "Because of human nature, in the eyes of literati, even if there is a large blue sky, when the mood is depressed, you will still only see clouds." And tragedy is always easier to tears and remember, but suffering always bullies the weak. When countless people fail to have a sister Wei Zifu who is favored by the emperor, and there is no uncle Wei Qing who can shock the outside world, they will all see that Li Guang has been displaced all his life, and they will feel the injustice and oppression from the king and fate. ”

This will make the fate of the literati like Li Guang, he fought for the Western Han Dynasty on the frontier, was born and died, but he failed to be appreciated and reused by the Ming Jun, but relied on the ambiguous relationship of Wei Huo and the two of them, invincible, and named his wife and son. At this time, the poets and literati once again felt the resonance of fate, a tragic general who was wise and brave, brave and loyal, but only stood on the wrong side politically once, and was ruthlessly persecuted by the king and ministers, and how similar is he who offended some faint monarchs and ministers and was exiled and excluded! ”

Unfortunately, the literati did not understand how serious the wrong position and behavior of a military general could be in the eyes of the king in the midst of the iron-blooded and ruthless court struggle. They also can't understand why there will always be traitors and villains who don't learn and don't know how to do it, relying on flattery and playing with power tricks to bewitch the saints. But as everyone knows, they can't thwart these villains they despise with their wits and ingenuity, let alone have enough ability to revive the world, it's just a group of poor worms hiding behind heroes! ”

As soon as Zhao Yu spoke, the hall became silent, and even the attendants and palace maids next to him were thoughtful. In fact, he still has some words that he has not said because of his identity, and he knows that there has never been less praise for those who have stepped on the pinnacle of history, but it is true that more praise and support come from the awe of power and power. However, no one likes to think about how the original ancestor Liu Bang suffered all the suffering in the world and died nine times before he established the grand foundation of the Western Han Dynasty in blood and fire.

Of course, there are those who praise Liu Bang, but more literati and writers are willing to pay attention to Liu Bang's vicious plot to kill the heroes and old generals. Because, once again, their fate seems to coincide with that of giving their lives to the king, but instead of being rewarded, they were killed. Even if Liu Bang, who created the foundation of the Western Han Dynasty and allowed the literati to get some respite and stability, there is no reason to be criticized!

And life is always so cruel and resolute, there will never be a smooth environment and a perfect Qing and Ming Dynasty. In the rolling torrent of the times, the brave who can fight hard and overcome obstacles will never waste their talents and time on venting their frustration and complaining about injustice. They don't have the time or the heart to scold the unfavorable situation that has developed. They will only rely on their own courage and strength to create the ideal future.

In Zhao Hao's heart, Li Guang's failure is not sad, he is still a hero worth remembering, after all, any soldier who dares to fight desperately against the tide of the times is worthy of respect. Li Guang's tall and silent back shielded countless cowards from the world's swords and swords, and his broad and powerful arms held up a piece of the sky for those poor insects who never dared to draw their swords and fight for their lives.

Therefore, the silent veteran will become the last sustenance in the hearts of the literati. And many romantic poets and writers just keep hiding in a world of their own, shouting, lamenting, waiting for the merciless harvest of fate. These evasive literati are pathetic in the eyes of Zhao Hao, and the fugitives who have the same fate as Li Guang but dare not fight, have no choice but to say that they love freedom and loneliness, and that no one will unconditionally accept other people's ideas, just as no one will unconditionally pay for other people's mistakes.

Even if he sighs, the general does not say anything about his past, and the scholar is willing to pass on his name! Li Guangzhi said that he can be praised through the ages, but in fact, because the world needs these stubborn and tragic heroes, and he is likely to achieve a tragic history......
