Changan.

At the court meeting, Pei Min reported to Li Yan in detail the results achieved by Li Guangbi and Ge Shuhan.

In fact, Li Yan and the Manchu Dynasty had already known the news of the victory of the two route armies, but when they heard this official report and understood the details, everyone still couldn't help but cheer.

The whole court was full of celebratory voices.

The words "Long live Your Majesty, Datang Wansheng" are endless.

"Your Majesty, the minister has his own play!"

Miao Jinqing, the servant of the ministry, stood up with a happy face.

"It is a great thing for a thief to be beheaded. This group of thieves has no leader, and the northern land and the Central Plains that have fallen to the leader of the thieves will be in turmoil. The minister proposed to persuade the Quartet to surrender with the grace of the emperor. On the one hand, it embodies the generosity and benevolence of our dynasty, and on the other hand, it can also achieve the effect of not fighting and surrendering people, and avoid unnecessary casualties. In Luoyang City, Chen Xilie is an old friend, he is trapped in a group of thieves, but his heart is towards my Tang Dynasty, and he is willing to be a messenger, and he will go to Luoyang to persuade him to surrender in person, so as to show the world ......"

As soon as he said this, there was a roar of anger in the hall.

"!"

This shout made the temple tremble.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and he didn't dare to squeak in an instant.

Pei Min stood up angrily, Miao Jinqing's proposal seemed extremely stupid to him, and it hit the taboo in his heart.

The Tang Dynasty died in the feudal town, but how did the feudal town come to be?

Li Longji has to pay a small part of the responsibility, Li Heng has to pay a large part of the responsibility, and Li Yu has to pay a small part of the responsibility.

Li Longji's main responsibility is to fatten An Lushan, while Li Heng and Li Yu's responsibility is to be too conniving at the rebels.

Especially Li Heng, he was too jealous and too heavy, he didn't dare to let his power, and he didn't dare to let Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and a group of brave generals make great contributions, for fear that they would be difficult to restrain him. A lot of times, if you can, you don't fight.

When the rebels surrendered, they thought they had won, and not only did they not punish them and not collect their military rights, but they added officials to the rebels!

led to a very funny situation, the local forces that want to be promoted and make a fortune, rebellion is the fastest and best choice. The rebellion followed Zhao'an, and he was determined to be promoted to become rich.

This is also the reason why An Qingxu rebelled and descended, and Shi Siming and Shi Chaoyi rebelled and descended.

During the Middle Tang Dynasty, most of the feudal towns that were most harmful to the Tang Dynasty were generals who belonged to the Anshi camp.

They are originally rebellious and immoral bandits, expecting them to feel the emperor's favor and reform themselves?

It is more reliable to expect the sow to go up the tree.

Li Hengzhi is stupid here, he doesn't dare to use Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi to quell the rebellion, for fear that they will make great contributions and overshadow the master, and choose to forgive a group of morally corrupt bandits.

Pei Min will never let go of this kind of mistake.

"What is Imperial Grace?"

"The emperor's grace is for those who have loyalty in their hearts and know how to be courteous, righteous and honest."

"What is loyalty? Loyalist, Lourdes is also. Righteousness, respect for capital. Only righteous self can transform people, so the righteous heart is so self-cultivation, and even the family, governing the country, and leveling the world. ”

"Lei Haiqing, Zhang Yehu, Liyuan opera, most of you look down on them. The thieves captured Chang'an City, and captured more than 300 Liyuan disciples and court officials into Luoyang City, and held a banquet in Ningbi Pond to celebrate their achievements. The thief asked Lei Haiqing and the musicians to play the pipa palace music, and asked the palace concubines to sing and dance. Lei Haiqing held the pipa in his hand, filled with righteous indignation, and denounced the thief's crimes, the thief was annoyed and ashamed, and ordered his subordinates to cut Lei Haiqing's lips with a knife, Lei Haiqing still scolded endlessly, and the thief urgently ordered his tongue to be cut off. Lei Haiqing had blood in his mouth, endured the severe pain, and tried his best to throw the pipa in his hand at the thief's head. ”

"In the end, the thief became angry, and the knife and axe hand tied Lei Haiqing to the front of the Drama Horse Palace, and Ling Chi executed ......"

"Zhang Yehu is the same, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand the punishment, so he compromised with the thief, bit off the root of his tongue, and would rather die than sing for the thief."

"You have said more than once in Chang'an that the emperor was a plaything and was too gracious to the pear orchard. Yes, there are 300 people in the pear orchard, and it is indeed a play, but even if it is a play, he also knows what loyalty is. ”

"Chen Xilie? He had to be the emperor first, serving as a secretary and a young eunuch, a waiter in the Ministry of Works, a bachelor in Jixian Academy, a servant under his door, and then a scholar of Chongxuanguan University, and was named the Marquis of Ying, and was favored by the emperor. As a result, as soon as the rebels came, they immediately surrendered. As a scholar, he recites the way of Confucius and Mencius day and night, and the festival is not as good as a play. Such a character, what is said to be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and it is ridiculous to slip the world. ”

"Traitors like Chen Xilie, Zhang Yan, and Da Xixun, don't tell me anything about loyalty. They don't have it at all, and in this life, they are nailed to the pillar of shame, and no one wants to justify them. ”

Pei Min does not despise people who are afraid of death, this person is afraid of death, and it is not enough.

didn't really get to that point, Pei Min himself didn't dare to guarantee that he would have the courage to face the butcher knife.

Because of this, those who dare to face the butcher's knife are remarkable.

Pei Min can endure the fear of death and surrender, but he can't bear to surrender and do his best for the new master, get promoted and make a fortune, and then the new master loses, and in turn says loyalty to the old master.

Is it really so cheap for the word "loyalty"?

scolded Pei Min for slashing his head and covering his face, Miao Jinqing became a fool, how dare he say half a word, and retreated in a gloomy manner.

Zhang Jiuling said: "It's just that it's so tough, I'm afraid that the old thieves will be united and resist desperately, that's not good." ”

Zhang Jiuling is Pei Min's cronies, but he is not the kind of puppet who blindly obeys, he belongs to the type of person who dares to speak.

Pei Min's power is getting worse and worse, and most of what he says is not questioned by civil and military, but it is a few of Pei Min's newly promoted cronies who dare to tell the truth in the temple.

Pei Min also put away the fire and said, "You have to make it clear that the current situation is that they beg us, not us begging them...... This is a matter of principle. They don't have the bargaining power to negotiate with us, and we don't accept any bargaining. If you want to drop, you can. Hand over the military power, learn according to your own deeds, and then consider what to do. followed the rebels, rebelled, and still wanted to be promoted and make a fortune? How can there be such a good thing in the world? ”

"As for those who are reluctant to give up the power in their hands, who are unwilling to accept their current position, and want to defend themselves by surrendering all this, no matter who they are, they don't want one. Instead, the court had to show its determination and not accept any traitor's offer. If you don't surrender, you won't accept it, and you will kill it. This kind of atmosphere must not be cultivated, let alone connived at a traitor for the sake of the so-called imperial grace. ”

"Your Majesty......"

Pei Min said to Li Yanzuo: "You can't covet the immediate interests, and leave unknown troubles in the future." The prestige that should be established must be established, and the battle that should be fought must be fought. And the minister believes that Guo Ziyi's strength ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yan said without hesitation: "I also believe in the judgment of the county king, so I will follow what the county king said." I am magnanimous and willing to accept those who have changed their ways and are willing to surrender sincerely, but I will never accept any conditions. ”

Pei Min frowned, looked at the high-ranking Tang Emperor, and found the problem: after An Lushan's rebellion, Li Yan didn't dare to think now, he didn't have confidence in the first place, and he didn't dare to have any independent thoughts, for fear that the wrong decision would cause chaos in the world again.

He is now completely blind to himself......
