Chapter 32 Elimination of Evils
An Sishun has a general reputation in history, and Pei Min doesn't know much about him, so naturally he is far less detailed than Wang Zhonghe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut because it involves An Lushan, I still have a certain impression.
In his memory, An Lushan was not originally called An Lushan, because his mother remarried An Sishun's uncle, and he grew up with An Sishun and went to the Tang Dynasty together, during which they shared life and death with each other, and they were about brothers. With this experience, An Lushan changed his surname to An and named Lushan.
Although An Sishun and An Lushan are righteous brothers, they are not the same kind of people. Needless to say, An Lushan was one of the culprits of the defeat of the Tang Dynasty. An Sishun is a general who is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and has been on the border for the Tang Dynasty for more than 40 years, and he is a veritable national minister. Before An Lushan's rebellion, An Sishun also reminded Li Longji many times that An Lushan would rebel, but Li Longji didn't listen.
Therefore, for An Sishun, Pei Min did not worry about An Lushan because of any colored glasses given to him, but he was worried about the world. People like An Lushan can be eliminated, killed if they can, and will only raise tigers if they are kept.
At the end of the banquet, Pei Min walked to An Sishun's side and greeted him affectionately: "An Lang General!" ”
An Sishun saw that it was Pei Min, and hurriedly said hello. He defected to the Tang Dynasty not long ago, but his father An Bozhu had already gained a firm foothold in the Tang Dynasty, and he was the right Yulin general in the court, and he had a certain status and connections in the army. With the help of his father, Ann Sishun has a smooth career. Compared with Pei Min, it is far from the same, and he was flattered and said: "I've seen Pei Zhongcheng!" ”
"No need to be polite!" Pei Min said: "Let's go out of the palace together?" ”
The Tang Dynasty did not reject generals, and many generals made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty and became the pillars of the country. But not rejecting does not mean that there is no estrangement, and you are willing to associate with it from your heart. Not long after An Sishun joined the Tang Dynasty, he didn't know any friends in the court, and he was quite lonely, Pei Min invited him like this, how could An Sishun have a reason to refuse.
An Sishun has just turned twenty, and he is not much older than Pei Min. The two have the same topic, and under Pei Min's intent acquaintance, the relationship progresses rapidly.
Pei Min casually talked about An Lushan.
An Sishun said blankly: "But I don't know who An Lushan is?" Also our An clansmen? "The Turkic An clan originated from the Western Regions Anxi, and most of the people in the country took An as their surname, and An Sishun thought that he was someone from his homeland.
Pei Min was stunned, An Sishun didn't know who An Lushan was? Could it be that because of his own crossing, there was a butterfly effect that made An Lushan disappear?
Pei Min reacted quickly and said busily: "A benefactor, I have a brother, who has been taken care of by An Lushan, and I have met a person named An Lushan, so I must repay the favor on his behalf." Min saw that there were very few people surnamed An, and he thought you knew him! ”
An Sishun shook his head and said: "There are not many people with the surname An in the Central Plains, but in the Western Regions, in Nanzhao, there are still many people with the surname An. If you were born in the country of Sabbath, you can help find out. If it originated from the surname An in the nine surnames of Nanzhao, there would be nothing that could be done. ”
"Good!" Pei Min responded, but there was no hope in his heart. An Lushan is not a native of Anxi at all, he changed his surname to An because he had a good relationship with An Sishun. Now An Sishun doesn't know who An Lushan is, and he hopes to find it there.
However, he is not discouraged, and he has the connections of Yushitai. If you meet a fat man like An Lushan, are you afraid that he will be able to run away?
The next day, at the court meeting, Li Longji issued a commendation order to the generals who went on this expedition in the court.
The first merit is naturally Xue Ne, as the commander of the three armies, although he rarely participated in the battle array, but he transferred troops and sent generals, reused Wang Haibin Lianke Tubo, pursued for thousands of miles, defeated the Tubo army, and recovered the lost land of Taozhou, and his merits were unparalleled. Li Longji worshiped the commander of the Liangzhou Town Army, commanded the Chishui army, garrisoned Liangzhou, and restored the title of Pingyang County Duke, and worshiped his son Xue Chang as the doctor of Chaosan.
The second major achievement is also undoubted, Pei Min dragged out 60,000 Tubo troops with 6,000 people, and also annihilated 30,000 enemies, and the results were not brilliant. In particular, he was crowned with a loyal general, and the food was increased by 200. Although General Zhongwu is a military officer and has no real power, there are very few people like him who hold both civil and military positions throughout the entire dynasty.
Later, Li Longji rewarded Pei Min for capturing Yang Ju and playing grievances for Wang Haibin, but when it came to this. He said that Pei Min left his post without permission, and also made corresponding punishments in this regard, although it was excusable, but it could not be indulged, and the merits and demerits were offset.
Li Longji did not charge Pei Min with "trespassing", after all, this crime can be big or small. Now in his eyes, Pei Min belongs to his own people, and he still has to take care of this aspect.
The remaining officials also commended them one by one, obviously their merits were far less conspicuous than Xue Ne, Pei Min, and Wang Haibin.
This reward is over, and according to the previous practice, it is almost time for the next dynasty.
Today, however, there was an accident.
Zhao Yanzhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, launched the impeachment of Ma Chong, Yang Jingshu, and Xian Yu Tingzhu.
Zhao Yanzhao came prepared, taking advantage of the residual heat of Zhao Chengen, Li Chang, Bai Daogong, and Kang Haiyuan, he counted the corpses of the military generals and kept warm, ignoring the interests of the Tang Dynasty.
Pei Min glanced at Yao Chong, who was at the top, and knew that this "narrow-minded" prime minister had done it.
Although Yao Chong did not come forward, his pawns had already begun to charge for him and conquer the city.
Li Longji really has the intention to rectify military affairs, but he has never been able to make up his mind to get rid of the heroes who helped him raise troops in the past one by one.
At the end of the meeting, I didn't say a reason.
Li Longji went down to the court with a heavy heart, although he was hungry, but the food was tasteless, and said to Gao Lishi, who was waiting on the side: "Lux, I have the heart to withdraw them." But they didn't make a mistake, and I may have promised to live up to them. If I want to punish them for no reason today, will I not let me lose my trust in the world? ”
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty asked the little slave, and the little slave knows so much. Why don't you invite Pei Zhongcheng and ask him what he thinks? Pei Zhongcheng is resourceful and has the same heart as His Majesty, and his opinion is the most pertinent. As a minister, in this kind of major matter, he has always maintained the bottom line of not asking about politics.
"You!" Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go." ”
Pei Min, as a foreign minister, did not have such concerns, and listened to Li Longji's worries.
He expressed his meaning very tactfully: "The minister has always thought that if I want to prosper in the Tang Dynasty, I only need to do 'Wenchen does not love money, and Wuchen does not hesitate to die'." Your Majesty does not need to punish them, he only needs to give them additional officials and knights, and transfer them to serve in the Liangzhou frontier. If they really have the courage and the real talent to learn. It is my Datang fortunate thing, if it is really an incompetent person who eats a vegetarian meal in the corpse, and he can't stand it, he will allow them wealth, and they will resign and let them be glorious for a lifetime, which is worthy of the merits of the past years, and I believe they will not refuse. ”
Pei Min didn't expect the central generals at this time to be like Li Shimin's time, any of them were generals who could take charge on their own, but at least they would not be hateful and shameful figures like Ma Qing and Meng Lin......
Li Longji didn't speak, just nodded silently and made up his mind.
is also because of Pei Min's encouragement, the DPRK and China do not know about military affairs, but because of the big drawback of being a general from the dragon's work, it was completely eliminated.
