"Help him? You slandered Mr. Li so much, but said that you were helping him? ”

Qin Hao spread his hands and said innocently: "Two brothers, don't frame me, when did I slander Manager Li?" Look at those rumors outside, which one is slanderous about General Manager Li? It's not a secret, there are those who slander Mr. Li, unintentionally, my people are arrested and beaten, and those who are malicious are directly arrested, and now Du He and Changsun Chong have arrested nearly 100 people, and they are worried that there is no place to lock them up. ”

Xu Jie and Su Ding looked at each other, as if this was really the case, there are now people on the street who praise Li Tao, some who praise Tang Jian, and those who praise the two of them, but they don't praise Li Jing, giving people the feeling that Li Jing is just hanging up the title of chief manager, and picking up a great achievement in vain, but it seems that no one is slandering Li Jing.

Qin Hao explained: "Brother Xu and Su Shao are not outsiders, so I will simply make it clear." ”

"This time the sage sent a five-way (or six-way) army to jointly crusade against the Turks, although it was controlled by Li Jing, but in fact they were not in the same relationship with each other, that Chai Shao and Li Daozong are both relatives of the emperor, and their qualifications are only higher than Li Jing's, although Li Tao is not an old man of the Qin Palace, but he has always been the general of the saint's lineage, who can stabilize him except the saint? Why was the power of moderation entrusted to Li Jing this time, instead of Li Xiaogong, who had better qualifications and fame? ”

"To put it bluntly, the sage didn't intend to let the five-way army really belong to anyone, so although the sage is in charge of the capital, the general strategic direction is still controlled by the sage himself, this is not a sage is small-minded, but an emperor's mental skill that a qualified emperor must master, after all, this five-way army is already almost all the elite of my Datang."

"In the original plan of the saint, although this battle would be won, he must not have thought that it would be won so quickly and so big! This is certainly a great good thing, but I am afraid it is also a great surprise to the saints. ”

"If it is just a small victory, it washes away the shame of Weishui, and teaches the arrogance of the Turks, when the spring of the next year blooms and the natural disasters pass, my Tang Dynasty is ready, and the throne of the saint is more stable, and the saint will once again drive the expedition and destroy the tumor of the Eastern Turks with his own hands, but now this matter has been done by Li Jing."

"This is certainly a great thing for a day, but it is indeed beyond the expectations of the sage, originally Li Jing's exploits were slightly better than those of several other armies, but this great achievement of pacifying the Turks made him a well-deserved first person in the military in one breath, and even compared to the sage's Tiger Prison Pass Battle of the year, the Five Route Army has really admired Li Jing, and when Li Jing returned to Chang'an with 100,000 troops and Turkic troops, what do you think the saint will think? Even if the saint is confident and broad-minded, what do you think if you want to be civil and military? ”

Xu Jie was still a little stunned, but Su Dingfang had already understood, nodded and said, "Brother means that General Manager Li has already made great achievements." ”

Qin Hao nodded and said: "Yes, almost all of the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty followed the saint to fight the world back then, and the old subordinates who knew the roots, only Li Jing followed Li Xiaogong to fight Jiangnan, and when the saint took the heir, Li Jing chose not to help each other, in other words, the saint has never been kind to Li Jing, and Li Jing has never repaid the saint, hehe, I am afraid that the lowest trust between the Manchu Dynasty and the saint is Li Jing, even Xue Wanche, the old party of the abolished prince, the saint still has the grace of forgiveness for him." ”

Why did Tang Jian and Qin Hao leave without saying anything? Because some words can't be said at all, they can only rely on enlightenment, just what Qin Hao said just now, as long as it spreads, at best, it will be the relationship between the monarch and the minister between the saint and Li Jing, and at worst, it will be ill-intentioned, so he hasn't explained this set of things to anyone, at most he will say two sentences.

can talk to Xu Jie, Su Dingfang, and the others so thoroughly, it can be regarded as treating them as family.

In fact, in the original history, Li Jing's life was quite miserable.

Li Shimin is undoubtedly a wise and martial emperor, and in his youth he was undoubtedly confident to the extent of being close to conceit, he has never been defeated in ten years, he has unparalleled confidence in his military ability, and he does not really treat Li Jing well, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, especially the civil officials and the old people of the Qin Palace, still put a lot of pressure on Li Jing.

Originally, in history, there were rumors in the capital that were unfavorable to Li Jing at this time, saying that he connived at his subordinates to loot Turkic wealth and buy people's hearts or something, in fact, there is nothing wrong with this kind of crime on any general, and his soldiers don't have their heads pinned to their belts to fight, and you still don't allow people to rob two money? Isn't this nonsense, Li Shimin himself has also done the slaughter of the city.

It is said that after Li Jing returned to Beijing, although his status became more and more noble, he acted like walking on thin ice, and he never dared to close the door at home.

Seriously, I'm afraid it's not a good time.

Su Dingfang asked: "Brother is doing this to help Manager Li share the credit?" This... Can it be done, even if those foolish people are so foolish, but who in the court doesn't understand what's going on, this time to destroy the Eastern Turks, Chief Manager Li is a great contribution. ”

Qin Hao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether the Manchu Dynasty knows or not, the so-called high merit shocks the master, what I am afraid of is never the merit itself, but the supreme prestige brought by the merit, what is prestige?" To put it bluntly, the soldiers are not convinced by you, they are thousands of the most ordinary soldiers in the army, I don't have any slander against General Manager Li, but just let the soldiers have more objects of admiration in their hearts, so that Li Jing is naturally not so dazzling in the hearts of the grassroots soldiers. ”

"Before Li Jing comes back, these rumors will be sorted out, and some advocate Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, and Chai Shao, and above the court, Tang Jian has made a lot of money this time, but on the other hand, he also has to exchange some things, such as scolding Li Jing, anyway, in Tang Jian's situation, there is no need to be afraid of him, from time to time he points his nose and scolds Li Jing, and even gives the two mouths, I am afraid that Li Jing will not be able to fight back, so whether it is in the court or in the opposition, Li Jing has a clamp, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will naturally be much less wary of him, Li Jing's life is better. ”

After Qin Hao finished speaking, Xu Jie, who had never been enlightened, finally figured it out, slapped his thigh and said: "Oh, it turns out that you are really helping Mr. Li, let me say, my brother is not like that, go, let's drink, this time even Li Xiaoci is back, you haven't met yet, let's call this stinky boy, Pingkangfang walk." ”
