Chapter 72 Who knows the loyalty and righteousness in the world, and the strong country has the way not to self-destruct (1)
(1st Update)
Li Congjing fell silent again, since becoming the crown prince, he has not only gradually become familiar with the military and political affairs of the dynasty, but also began to learn to look at problems from the perspective of the emperor, of course he knows that being a monarch and being a minister are two completely different concepts, and there is a world of difference in nature. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The king has the perspective of the king's view of the problem: the temporary gains and losses of the Jianghuai war situation, and the rebellion of the commander in chief, the seriousness of these two problems is not at the same level. Even if Wang Shi suffered a setback in Jianghuai and lost his troops, it was just another big battle, and he took 10,000 steps back to say that even if Wang Shi was defeated in Jianghuai, he would only retreat to Huaibei, and he would be able to march again in the coming day.
But what if the commander of the army rebels? Hundreds of thousands of armor soldiers, corresponding armor soldiers, armaments, and grain are completely funded by the enemy, and this enemy country that has been extra out of thin air will use these armor, weapons, armaments, and grain to counterattack the dynasty in the future.
And once Jianghuai is divided by the commander of the army, the prestige and rule of the empire will suffer a huge blow, will the generals of Shu and Chu follow suit? Will the Khitan take the opportunity to counterattack?
How can a king not be able to take precautions against such a thing as feeding the body of the enemy with the blood of the empire, and causing the enemy country to counterattack the empire and put the empire in danger?
In contrast, even if Wang Shi was defeated in Jianghuai, it was only a military defeat, and the empire was still this empire.
Taking a step back, even if more than 100,000 Wang Divisions were destroyed by Wu in Jianghuai, it was better than letting the commanders and generals use it to divide Jianghuai!
Therefore, if the king is suspicious of his courtiers, he does not need evidence at all, as long as the king has this mind, the courtiers should die.
Li Siyuan looked at the silent Li Congjing, and said in a heavy tone, "I know that you and Mo Li have a very close relationship, but the stability of the Tang Dynasty's imperial industry, the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and the generations of the Tang Dynasty cannot be mixed with personal emotions." Temples are temples, not rivers and lakes, you can't use the righteousness of rivers and lakes, you can't trust you because I trust you, you trust him, I trust him. The country is more important than everything, do you understand? ”
Li Congjing said bitterly: "How does my father plan to deal with the Jianghuai matter?" ”
"I have three strategies." Li Siyuan's fingers tapped on the small case, "Make a decision, take Li Congke as the handsome; In the middle of the policy, the imperial court sent officials to Jianghuai to investigate the matter, if Mo Li is really different, and then replace him with Li Congke, if Mo Li is not abnormal, then it will not be dealt with; The best ......"
Li Congjing looked at Li Congjing, "This matter is kept secret, pressed but not released, and the court has never suspected Mo Li." You go to Jianghuai again and lead the war! ”
Li Congjing had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The next strategy is too big, the middle strategy takes too long, and the best strategy is the perfect strategy.
In all fairness, Li Siyuan has come up with a comprehensive enough response and enough to take into account the overall situation, he did not use any serious means against Mo Li because he was suspicious of Mo Li, but thought about how to maintain trust in Mo Li to the greatest extent and reduce the turmoil in this matter.
Li Siyuan finally sighed and said: "In the final analysis, Mo Li is your right-hand man, and you value him the most, if the imperial court mishandles Mo Li this time, it will really casually let him come down from the position of commander and bear the trumped-up charges, which will also be of great harm to you." ”
Li Congjing suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Siyuan.
His eyes were a little strange, but it was not because he was grateful to Li Siyuan for thinking about him.
......
Yangzhou.
Li Congke suddenly saw the Huainan envoy take off his hat and make up a thin thorn and rush towards him, he was really stunned, and he was surprised for a while, and he didn't know what the other party meant, why he suddenly attacked, so that he didn't move for a while.
Li Congke didn't move, but his personal guards had already moved, as a general in the army, when he met the envoy of the enemy country, even if the other party was a gift and they were quite familiar with each other, Li Congke could not get too close to him, and it was impossible for one or two personal guards to be left and right.
Before Li Congke made a move, the Huainan envoy was knocked down by the guards who rushed up, and then pressed to the ground, the commander of the guards was furious at this time, stepped on the back of the Huainan envoy's neck, and pulled out a horizontal knife, about to cut off the opponent's head, "Dog thief, dare to be so ignorant of life and death!" ”
"Wait!" Li Congke waved his hand, signaling that the commander of the guards did not need to be so anxious and angry, and he stepped in front of the Huainan envoy, who was pressed to the ground and struggled desperately, staring at him angrily, making him laugh.
A sudden attack, or a sudden farce, brought Li Congke an impact, at most he was stunned, not even frightened, so Li Congke was not angry at all, but was very curious - curious why the other party had no chance to hurt him at all.
"Who sent you, and why did you attack Ben?" Li Congke stood in front of the head of the Huainan envoy and cast an interrogative gaze at the other party.
The Huainan envoy just stared at Li Congke with a murderous gaze and did not speak.
The commander of the guards stepped on the face of the Huainan envoy with one foot, and said angrily: "Pigs and dogs, dare to behave like this?!" ”
The Huainan envoy spat at the blood foam and scolded Li Congke: "I can't kill you today, and the king of Jianghuai will kill you tomorrow!" Dog thief, see how long you can be arrogant?! ”
Li Congke frowned, "Who is the Jianghuai King?" ”
"It doesn't matter who the king of Jianghuai is, the important thing is that you have blocked the way of the king of Jianghuai, and you will die soon!" The Huainan envoy shouted.
Li Congke's face was gloomy, and he was about to use some means, when suddenly one of his personal guards changed his face slightly, and he leaned over and whispered a few words to him.
"Really?" Li Congke's face showed surprise.
"It's true!" The guard said firmly, "I have heard it with my own ears. ”
Li Congke's eyes were cold, he paced back and forth for a few steps, and suddenly shouted: "Give Ben General armor!" ”
......
Listening to Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao's "honest" words, Mo Li showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, the folding fan shook lightly, and he looked at the two of them with deep meaning.
When Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao saw Mo Li's appearance, they knew that Mo Li's intention had moved, but they still had concerns, and they were waiting for them to give more generous conditions, so they immediately lost no time and said: "At present, the general is sitting in Jianghuai, but the two cities of Shouchun and Yangzhou are not conquered, these two cities are all strong cities, and the guards are all elites. At this time, we can make a truce between the two places, and when the general is called king in the coming day, our dynasty can order these two cities to open the door to welcome each other, and then the guards will withdraw to Jiangnan with our army! ”
Seeing that Mo Li still looked unfathomable, without saying a word, Kuai Ao hurriedly answered: "Jianghuai's Central Plains soldiers and horses, but anyone who is a general's cronies, we will naturally not ask, if someone dares to stop the general's great cause of claiming the king, this time the two armies are fighting, and our army will help the general to get rid of it!" ”
Seeing Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao's earnest eyes, Mo Li smiled and said, "Your envoy is really thinking about me." ”
Lu Jiang smiled kindly: "Helping the general is helping the Great Wu, between you and me, what is the difference between each other?" When the general is crowned king in Jianghuai, our dynasty will definitely form an alliance with the general to jointly resist the Central Plains, and never let the general face the Central Plains alone! ”
Kuai Ao added: "If the general declares himself a minister to our court, the prime minister has already said that the general can be allowed to take the throne hereditarily, and he can live in Jianghuai for generations, and he does not need to enter the court!" ”
Mo Li said: "I am doing well now as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, why should I be treason and stand on my own?" ”
"The general's words are wrong!" Lu Jiang said, "In the world of great contention, all those who have flesh and blood have a desire to fight, why should the general be confined to the common etiquette and abandon the great cause at his fingertips?" If future generations hear about it, they will also laugh at the general for missing the opportunity! ”
Kuai Ao further said: "Now that the general has a heavy army and is fighting in Jianghuai, is the Central Plains really relieved?" Throughout the ages, those who hold heavy troops are not subject to the suspicion of the master, has the general forgotten the old things of Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Fugu Huaien, and Guo Chongtao? Aren't the sages of them turning the tide and supporting the collapse of the building, or opening up and expanding the territory of the country, and the first man did not trust him? And once the lord is jealous, his fame turns to dust, and his body dies and his clan is destroyed, who does not pity him? If the general does not take precautions, he will be imprisoned in the future, and he will laugh for future generations. Now it is the general's plan, and I secretly think that the general should be constantly broken, and he will suffer from it! ”
Mo Li nodded again and again, deeply agreed, and the movement of gently shaking the folding fan did not stop, and his smile became more and more mellow, "That is the case, for his own plan, I borrowed something from the two of you." ”
Lu Jiang couldn't help but be overjoyed, "What does the general want to borrow?" ”
Kuai Ao said: "Now we and the general are not separated from each other, but whatever the general wants, we will not be stingy!" ”
"I can't thank you enough for being so generous." Mo Li's smile was even worse, quite emotional, but his gaze fell on the heavenly spirit cover of the two, and then the words came out, like night rain, "The heads of the two, so-and-so will accept it!" ”
"What?"
"General...... What does this mean? No jokes! ”
Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao were both stunned and shocked.
And Mo Li had already stood up, put away the folding fan, and behind his hands, where was there a responsible smile on his face? Those deep eyes were full of strong killing intent!
"Where is the armor?" Mo Li asked coldly.
"In!" More than a dozen soldiers poured into the tent.
"Drag this gossimile out of the tent and behead the thief who intends to divide my Tang Dynasty monarch and minister, and behead the public!" Mo Li's tone was like thunder.
"Order!" The armor rushed up, knocked down Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao, and grabbed them.
Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao were shocked, their eyes were full of disbelief, "General...... Checkmate..... Why is that, why is that?! ”
Lu Jiang was dragged out of the tent while struggling, and shouted loudly: "If the general doesn't listen to us today, he will definitely be separated in the coming day, and it will be difficult to recover the water at that time, and the general will regret it too late!" ”
Kuai Ao exclaimed bitterly: "The fourteen states of Jianghuai, the land of hegemony, why doesn't the general want to stand on his own, but is willing to be the minions of others?!" ”
Mo Li sneered, "There is no eloquence in the eyes of memorials, and there is no gentleman in the eyes of villains!" ”
Mo Li's tone was contemptuous, "He Xu Zhihe is a chaotic minister and thief, thinking day and night about usurping the position of the master, he thinks that everyone in the world is like him, they are all wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, and they don't know what loyalty, righteousness and shame are?" It's ridiculous! ”
Mo Li waved the folding fan, "Drag it out, slash!" ”
