Chapter 60: The Future Emperor Suzong
I don't know what the reason is, the Li family in this era is very fond of changing names, especially Li Longji's sons.
Li Longji's eldest son was originally named Li Sizhi, and later changed his name to Li Tan, and then changed his name to Li Cong.
The second son is also the crown prince, the first name is Li Siqian, later changed to Li Hong, and finally changed to Li Ying.
Change back and forth, the third son of King Zhong is more fun, changing the name is the same as eating, first called Li Sisheng, then changed to Li Jun, Li Yu, Li Shao, etc., his last name People who understand this history should be familiar with Li Heng, Tang Suzong Li Heng.
Most of the history books record the last name, so when Li Sisheng was mentioned, Pei Min did not associate him with the future Tang Emperor for a while.
It wasn't until he thought of Li Longji's third son that Pei Min reacted.
For this future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Min's personal feelings are particularly bad.
Li Longji has a problem, and the problem is not small, but Li Longji has at least had a brilliant time, and Li Heng gave Pei Min the feeling that he was gloomy and suspicious, full of negative emotions.
Maybe it's because Li Longji oppressed him too hard, or Li Linfu suppressed him too hard in history.
Li Heng is like a clammy and poisonous snake, only showing his fangs when it is critical.
The first time he showed his fangs in history was the world-famous Ma Weipo Mutiny.
Due to the various beautifications of film and television history, some people in the world thought that Ma Weipo's mutiny was to deal with Yang Guozhong, Yang Yuhuan, and the rebellion forced the palace for the sake of justice.
In fact, Li Heng's real purpose is not Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuhuan at all, his methods are more ruthless than Li Shimin back then.
Li Shimin just killed his brother and killed his brother, and he still kept his hand on his father, but Li Heng wanted Li Longji to die.
It's just that there was an accident in the whole plan, and Chen Xuanli, who was co-opted by Li Heng, couldn't be ruthless to deal with Li Longji at the last moment.
Even if Li Longji was ruined in the end, he was still very good to the general he trusted.
At the most critical time, Chen Xuanli suddenly repented and pledged his allegiance to Li Longji.
Li Heng's success fell short, which is also the reason why Li Heng did not dare to enter Shu.
He just had the idea of killing his father here, where did he dare to enter Shu with Li Longji.
As a last resort, Li Heng sought another development, and without Li Longji's permission, he ascended the throne to Lingwu without authorization.
To put it mildly, Li Heng's position as emperor is not justified.
Fortunately, Li Longji was also disheartened at that time and acquiesced.
Seriously, if Li Longji does not approve of Li Heng, Li Heng will not be able to sit firmly in his position.
Of course, this is just an internal succession, not the main reason why Pei Min dislikes him.
The real reason is that Li Heng is too suspicious, with the situation at that time, Li Heng didn't have to think about borrowing troops at all, it was he who let generals like Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Fugu Huaien dare not use it, but use Prime Minister Fang Xuan.
As a result, the Tang army was wiped out, and they had to borrow troops from Hui Hui, and promised that "on the day of Kecheng, the land and Shishu will be returned to Tang, and the gold and silk and children will be returned to Hui."
Originally, with the rise of Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Fugu Huaien, the civil strife that could be pacified in the short term was handed over to the eunuchs because of Li Heng's suspicion and suspicion, which led to many major defeats, and also left behind the two major drawbacks of the harem and the eunuch dictatorship.
In the midst of Li Heng's succession to the throne and the crisis, according to the normal script, it should be "turning the tide and supporting the building to fall".
But Li Heng did the opposite, making the road to counterinsurgency even more dangerous.
The reason why the Anshi Rebellion was able to be pacified was not because Li Heng, the emperor, had a good plan.
It's purely that Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, the two rare world-famous generals, are too powerful.
has no half-dime relationship with Li Heng, but because of Li Heng's existence, they tied their hands and feet to fight against An Lushan and Shi Siming.
In fact, with generals like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, any aspiring emperor can create a great cause.
happened to meet Li Heng, who connived at the harem to interfere in politics and the eunuchs to dictate power, and directly pulled the Tang Dynasty down the quagmire of civil strife.
A famous general like Li Guangbi died depressed, Guo Ziyi became famous, but his fame is really a joke.
A general like Guo Ziyi actually only has the merit of defending the land.
He can fight the Tibetan head rat, but he can't regain the lost ground......
If it is said that Li Long's genes in the later period are absurd, it pushed the Tang Dynasty into a quagmire.
Then Li Heng, the emperor, ruthlessly pushed behind him, so that the Tang Dynasty had no power to return to heaven.
Therefore, Pei Min has no good impression of Li Heng.
Looking at the somewhat inexplicable Wang Zhonghe, Pei Min suddenly thought that in history, Wang Zhonghei died young precisely because of Li Hengcai.
Needless to say, Wang Zhonghe's historical glory is self-evident.
Later, Li Longji ordered Wang Zhongsi to attack Shibao City in order to be greedy for merit, but Wang Zhongji had already controlled Qinghai at that time, and it was of little significance whether Shibao City was taken or not, and he was unwilling to exchange tens of thousands of lives for an official position, so he rejected Li Longji and opposed the use of troops.
Li Longji was furious about this, but he didn't blame too much, it was Li Linfu who framed Wang Zhongsi at this time, saying that Wang Zhongji once said, "I lived with King Zhong in the palace in my early years, and I am willing to respect the prince." ”
Li Longji was jealous together, and Wang Zhongsi was almost framed to death.
King Zhong is the historical Li Heng, and the current Li Sisheng.
"Tell me, how did you meet King Chung?"
Facing Pei Min's serious questioning, Wang Zhongsi didn't dare to hide it, and said: "My brother went to worship his father and found that his father's grave was clean and clean. It's a shame to say that since the family came to Hexi, there are few opportunities to worship for my father. I asked the woodcutter who was passing by, and the woodcutter said that King Chung often came to the grave to offer sacrifices. The younger brother felt his kindness and personally came to thank him. King Chung praised his father's loyalty and gratitude for his contribution to the court, so he often offered sacrifices. ”
Pei Min smiled: "So you are grateful to him?" ”
Wang Zhongsi lowered his head and did not speak.
Pei Min sighed: "Changing places, if someone treats my father like this, I am afraid that I feel the same as you." But have you ever thought about it, woodcutter, why is it there? ”
Wang Zhongsi said without thinking: "Naturally, it is ...... cut"
He couldn't go any longer, and his face was quite shocked.
Pei Min said in a low voice: "I was also present when your father was buried. You and I also went to worship often, and we climbed the mountain many times, but there was no wood to cut on the mountain. ”
The ancients used wood to make fires, but wood was particular.
Woodcutters cut wood that was easy to grow and flammable.
The place where Wang Haibin is buried is mostly wet wood, which is difficult to cut, not to mention, and cannot be sold for a price.
Even an inexperienced woodcutter would not choose where to cut wood.
"Think about it again, how can a woodcutter know a big man like King Zhong? It can only be said that the loyal king has good means, in order to get to know you, win you over, and take advantage of your filial piety. ”
Wang Zhongsi said with a bitter face: "Brother Min is right, the affairs of the palace are too complicated. Or is it more direct to fight a war, no need to use your brain! ”
Pei Min laughed when he heard this: "How can you make Dazaru of Tubo embarrassed?" ”
Wang Zhongsi laughed and said seriously: "Brother Min, rest assured, with this lesson, my brother will not have in-depth contact with King Zhong again." ”
