Chapter 81: Li Longji's Fatal Flaw
Li Linfu's main purpose was to bring down Wang Jie, not to mention, he also solved his potential threat from another angle.
The fall of Zhang Shuo had a great impact on Pei Min.
Although Pei Min is a foreign minister and does not participate in the deception above the temple, it is impossible to be in the situation and completely stay out of the matter and not be affected.
Pei Min was able to understand the idea that many scholars valued the livelihood of the people, but opposed their anti-war ideas.
It is true that there is an old saying: if you are warlike, you will die, but after you will die in war, there is another saying that if you forget to fight, you will be in danger.
Not only China's 5,000-year history, but also the course of world history.
In one sentence, civilization is ruined by barbarism!
Throughout 10,000 years of history, examples of backward sparsely populated nomads defeating advanced populous civilizations abound.
Ancient India was conquered by the Aryans, and the Roman Empire was conquered by the Germanic peoples......
The most typical is the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has a developed economy, advanced science and technology, and a large population in the big cities, which is far from the previous dynasty, but was wiped out by the Mongols with a population of hundreds of thousands living in barren land......
Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared for it, be prepared, this truth Pei Min believes that Wenchen does not understand, but the danger they think about is not from the outside, but from the inside.
Perhaps in their eyes, barbarians are barbarians after all, and there is nothing to worry about.
But I don't know that the times are developing, and the barbarians are also making continuous progress.
Even if they are barbarians, their cultural ideas are constantly improving over time, and they will pay a terrible price to underestimate them.
Zhang said that in charge of the court, Pei Min and other foreign ministers lived a particularly comfortable life.
Now that Zhang said that the party is weak and Li Yuanhong is in charge, it is conceivable that with Li Yuanhong's concept of governing the country, the good life of these foreign ministers is over.
However, Li Linfu used Li Yuanhong to deal with Wang Jiao, and while hoeing and raping, he weakened Li Yuanhong's political power to ensure the stability of the main battle faction.
Was this intentional, or unintentional?
Pei Min estimated that Li Linfu had calculated this nine times out of ten.
Because now that he is his backer, he is not having a good time, and his life will not be as comfortable as it is today.
Li Linfu helping himself is equivalent to helping himself.
Therefore, Li Linfu's method is not only against Wang Jie, but also against Li Yuanhong.
Of course, what really surprised Pei Min was Li Linfu's ability to control the court situation, this guy is penetrating the king's heart, and his ability to control the court situation can be called a genius.
Li Linfu's every move is under his control.
He was sure that Li Linfu did not go too deep into the affairs of the temple, and the only thing he knew about the situation of the temple was some dictation by Zhang Guang and the letter to him today.
However, with a little bit of intelligence, Li Linfu was able to see through the trend of the DPRK situation and come up with this strategy of killing two birds with one stone.
Being able to do this is not simple, which shows Li Linfu's terrible ability in this regard.
In history, it is not without reason that Li Linfu was able to crisscross the temple for 19 years, left and right the temple, and subdued the border generals.
It is conceivable that if Li Linfu is in Chang'an at this moment and knows the situation in the temple well, he is mixed in, who is his opponent?
Pei Min thought of this, and he was a little stunned in his heart.
But what followed was that Li Linfu's personal power was no longer as strong as his golden finger.
has a calculating or unintentional, even Li Linfu can't see through his plans.
If you are a traitor like him, you must either get rid of him, or you will control him in your own hands.
There is no other way.
Li Linfu was a little apprehensive in his heart, after many years of getting along, he still knew Pei Min's temperament very well. Knowing that his boss doesn't like infighting, fighting foreign enemies is his favorite.
It is admittedly a bit risky to offer your own advice today.
But if you want to surpass Zhang Jiuling, you also look at today.
Pei Min said with a smile: "Lin Fu rest assured, he is not a pedantic person, although he doesn't like power schemes, but he also knows that he has already been in it, and many things are involuntarily. Saying this, he put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Wang Ji is a villain, bewitching the saints, and fooling the people, which is really hateful and deserved. If you take a little more care about this matter, and if you need any help, even if you tell me, you must get rid of Wang Jie, and you must not bury this great mountain and river in the hands of Xiaoxiao......"
Li Linfu bowed his head and said that he understood, but he didn't think much of it in his heart, how could there not be one or two small nights in these dynasties?
This person is not perfect, even if a big man like Hou Junji expands his territory, he has done a lot of evil deeds, is it really a moral benchmark like Zhuge Liang in the Manchu Dynasty?
But he is happy to show his talent in Pei Min's hands, and only in this way can he improve his weight and grasp more power.
For the pursuit of power, Li Linfu has no end in his heart.
Pei Min naturally can't think as much as Li Linfu, the key is Li Longji, as he understands Li Longji more deeply, Pei Min further discovers Li Longji's Achilles heel.
Li Longji's most fatal weakness is not that he employs people nepotism and blindly trusts and approves henchmen, but that he has poor self-control.
Li Longji is undoubtedly a generation of masters, and when it comes to the personal courage of employing people to govern the country, even the kings of the entire Tang Dynasty are few people can compare.
In Pei Min's opinion, he is second only to Li Shimin, and he is better than Li Zhi.
Although Li Zhi is outstanding, he is standing on the shoulders of giants after all, but Li Longji is facing the military weakness caused by Wu Zetian's emphasis on internal and external affairs, and the mess left by Empress Wei, Zong Chuke, Princess An Le and the remnants of the Wu family.
Under such circumstances, Li Longji relieved internal and external troubles in a short period of time, used Yao Chong to draw up rules and regulations, used Song Jing to rectify officials, used Zhang Shuo to strengthen the army, and promoted Li Yi, Wang Zhongsi, Ge Shuhan and others to play a prestigious reputation in the Tang Dynasty.
Based on Li Longji's early achievements, he can almost be compared with Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Even some people in later generations said that if Li Longji died young and died before he met Yang Yuhuan, he would have one of the controversies of the first emperor through the ages.
This person is not perfect, they all have weaknesses, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is arrogant, and Tang Taizong is lustful, but they can control themselves. There are very few cases of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty making mistakes due to their own weaknesses.
Li Longji is different, as long as he tastes the taste of pleasure, he gradually can't control himself.
Pei Min knew very well that it was because of a serious illness that Liu Shenwei asked Li Longji not to worry about state affairs and to recuperate in peace.
As a result, Li Longji's quiet recuperation made it impossible to take his heart back, and he had the intention of slacking off on state affairs.
It's just that at that time, Zhang Shuo and Li Yuanhong were in charge, and Li Longji handled national affairs and finished the Fifth Five-Year Plan, so there was no big problem.
Now that there is a traitor like Wang Ji in the temple, if Li Longji is brought to the abyss, it will be a good luck.
This is also the reason why Pei Min attaches so much importance to this matter.
In the next few days, Pei Min kept receiving news from Chang'an, and his mood became more and more heavy.
Especially when I saw an inconspicuous news, Li Longji accepted a new Yang concubine.
