Chapter 457: Li Shimin's rigidity and softness

Waiting for the sound of the ghost crying wolf to be far away, until it was gone, Li Shimin sighed and said: "There are as many as 30,000, more than 30,000 of my Tang people, living in a foreign land." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info we have to take on a certain amount of responsibility, and it is better to be able to welcome them back. Why not wait a little longer? Hum...... Those pedantic people said that my Tang Huben general killed too much, according to me, this is the retribution of the Turks, they deserve it, hum, aliens are people, aren't my Tang people human? Shouldn't my people of the Tang Dynasty die? Without his deterrence. How can these more than 30,000 Tang people come back? ”

"Your Majesty has a point!" Wei Zheng also said: "Although this Tiger Ben General's behavior is different, there is always a reason for him. I Datang has such a talent, which is really my Datang's luck. The minister has always agreed with the saying that 'if you are not of my race, your heart will be different', and General Huben is still merciful, according to the minister's opinion, these aliens have no meaning to exist at all, and they can only kill all the troubles in the future. It's a pity that a good opportunity was missed in vain, and the chiefs of the hundred clans gathered together, and that was the best time to do it once and for all."

Wei Zheng is not handsome, it can be said that he is ugly. It is also recorded in the history books that his appearance is not as good as that of a middle-aged person, and he is not even comparable to an ordinary person. But he was swaying and shouting loudly at the moment, with a unique momentum, and he felt very fearless and fearless as a second-year youth.

Li Shimin said curiously: "Then according to Wei Aiqing's opinion, what should be done?" ”

"Kill!" Wei Zheng said without hesitation: "If it is the ministers who preside over this matter, it is natural to kill these chiefs together, and then take advantage of the leaderlessness of the dragons of each tribe to annihilate them one by one." ”

His meaning is very simple, that is, the alien races are all human-faced beasts, and if they stay, there will be disaster, and they should be exterminated and slaughtered.

There was a discussion around them, and this kind of killing method was still a little resistant to some people.

This bold Li Shimin frightened Wei Zheng.

The surrounding civil and military ministers looked at Wei Zheng with some awe, and each muttered in their hearts: "What kind of grudge does this alien race have with him in his previous life?" To hate so much? ”

The early Tang Dynasty was a martial era, even if they were civilian officials, they would join the military and add glory to their resumes, even if they were civilian officials, they might name such a ferocious strategic means as genocide.

The Tang Dynasty was founded for a short time, and there was a martial atmosphere.

The vast majority of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have experienced the test of war, and most of them have been very heavy. Although there are defenders of benevolence and morality, they are only a few inconsequential people.

Wei Zheng's status in the court is not low, and almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have seen the brutality of foreign people, just now I heard Fang Xuanling say that the foreign race is happy to hunt and kill the people of the Tang Dynasty, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are also the same enemy, seeing Wei Zheng is so indignant, impassioned, and related in his heart, as for the military generals, they are ready to move, immediately after Wei Zheng, you and I are suggesting.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng on the throne of the dragon chair and felt a big headache, although he had seen the power of the combination of Wei Zheng and Qin Feng last time, but when it came to the end, Wei Zheng was actually playing for real. The genocide led by him, with the addition of military generals, became more and more fierce, for fear that he would have a headache and brain fever and say something about genocide, so he hurriedly said righteously: "Wei Aiqing is reasonable!" I Datang has the spirit of embracing all rivers, and I also have the heart to promote my Datang culture to all surrounding ethnic groups, so that the whole world can learn from my Datang culture and push my Datang culture to the world. However, some tribes and countries harboring evil intentions, in the face of my Datang's tolerance, not only have no sense of gratitude, but harbor evil intentions, which is really hateful and hateful! I will never tolerate Datang continuing to associate with such a white-eyed wolf, from today onwards, I will keep an eye on me, but if I hear that any tribe abuses my Datang people, we will send troops to seek justice. At the same time, it is announced to the world that whoever interacts with it is the enemy of my Datang. ”

With Li Shimin's personal approval, Wei Zheng retreated satisfied.

Wei Zheng is a counselor, and his task is to make suggestions and express his opinions, and there is nothing left for him.

Li Shimin, who had a big head like a fight, finally relieved himself, to be honest, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but what he is most afraid of is people like Wei Zheng, as long as he grabs your braids, he will die.

**********

After the court meeting, Li Shimin took Li Chengqian to discuss things.

The father and son arrived at the Lizheng Palace.

"Qian'er, who do you say is the biggest hero in this battle?"

Li Chengqian said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is Li Jing and Li Shangshu, this time he is the commander-in-chief, and he is like a god, and his work in planning and calculation is incomparable, and he is the first hero." ”

Li Shimin smiled, and he deliberately asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"Brother-in-law and General Li Ji have made countless meritorious contributions, my brother-in-law captured Jieli Khan, and General Li Ji broke through the Turkic Khan's court, but if it is a single war, it is definitely a famous battle example! But today's great victory is all based on Li Shangshu's plan. Therefore, Erchen thinks that Li Shangshu, the first hero, is really expected, and Erchen believes that his brother-in-law and General Li Ji have no objections. ”

Li Chengqian was able to analyze it from a deep level, and the analysis was extremely accurate, and Li Shimin was very happy in his heart.

I only heard Li Chengqian continue: "As for this second hero, it is my brother-in-law!" Compared with General Li Jida, the brother-in-law undoubtedly did a much better job, in the battle of the Shuobei steppe, he used a strategy to make the Turks kill each other, annihilating 70,000 Turks, and his own casualties were almost negligible; Secondly, when the decision was broken, the brother-in-law's methods were even more unexpected, through his skillful hands, it was almost bloodless, and he also let the Turks eat a meal of human and animal feces, which was really relieving; Thirdly, he forced down the remnants of the advance, and with Yang Zhengdao in his hands, from now on, some conspirators and scheming people will not be able to use the previous dynasty as an excuse to make trouble, as for others, there are even more. At the beginning, my father sent my brother-in-law to be the commander of an army, and there were many voices of opposition, but my brother-in-law did not disappoint my father after all, he not only did it, but also did it better than anyone else. Erchen felt very uncomfortable. ”

"Haha......" Li Shimin said with a little smugness: "That's true, your father's vision is not bad, I have long seen that he is a talent, otherwise he would not be hired directly, let alone marry your sister to him." He also lived up to my expectations and achieved so much. Just when there was enough time, the triumphal ceremony, the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, and the celebration ceremony were re-organized on a larger scale. If the funds are tight, we will cut our royal income, but it is really not possible, and we will secretly sell some of the rare treasures and rare calligraphy and paintings in the treasury. We must not treat the heroes badly, but also let the people of the world until the rise of the Tang Dynasty and let the people return to their hearts. "Qin Feng has contributed a lot of money, the value is immeasurable, but it can be put into the construction of a country, but it is very little, like a stone sinking into the sea, and it cannot make a ripple. Moreover, this battle also consumed a lot of money and grain in Datang, and at this moment, Datang's treasury will bottom out again.

"Erchen understands!" Li Chengqian had been personally appointed by Li Shimin to deal with everything after the triumph of the army, and Li Shimin was ready to go out of the city to meet the victorious army with the dignity of the emperor.

"Time is pressing, you can arrange it now! When I arrived at the Ministry of Rites, I watched more, listened, learned, and asked why? Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "This is what your brother-in-law said, I think it makes sense." ”

"Father, don't worry!" Li Chengqian's face flushed a little with excitement, and he took a deep breath and said, "The heroes of the empire, the warriors of the empire should not be ignored. Erchen must do it properly, and will not live up to your expectations. ”

Looking at Li Chengqian's performance, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, in his eyes, Li Chengqian has always lost a sharp spirit.

This can't be blamed on Li Chengqian, who let him have a powerful figure on his head? has been suppressed by people like Li Shimin all the year round, but Li Chengqian has no edge that young people need most, but the appearance of Qin Feng has become an opportunity for him to transform.

At least after returning from the battlefield, when Li Chengqian faced Li Shimin, a father who made him fearful, his performance would become neither humble nor arrogant, and the style of a king would gradually take shape.

Judging from the current situation, Li Chengqian's young age has shown the potential of a generation of heroes, and it seems that the strength of the Tang Dynasty can be continued in him.

Li Chengqian's change Li Shimin saw it in his heart and remembered it in his heart, and he knew why he had changed, which also made Li Shimin know more clearly the importance of mentors and helpful friends.

"Lao Tzu is a hero, I, Li Shimin, have been dominant for half my life, and I also believe that my son is blue and blue, and I believe that he is ten, hundred, and ten thousand times stronger than his Lao Tzu! I also believe that my son will take his words and deeds as his own goal, benefit the people of Datang, and make the country stronger. Li Shimin slapped Li Chengqian's chest heavily, and hit Li Chengqian stumbling, but it was this heavy blow that made Li Chengqian full of arrogance and high morale.

Men, unlike women, are not delicate, and they don't let flowery rhetoric say anything. But this kind of body language is sometimes stronger than the best adjectives in the world.

Just like now, Li Chengqian felt Li Shimin's appreciation and encouragement! And Li Shimin also saw Li Chengqian's determination and responsibility.

"Do this well, I invite you two little guys to drink, let's get drunk and rest, and we won't go home if we don't get drunk." Li Shimin sorted out Li Chengqian's somewhat loose placket, and promised with a smile.

"Good! Erchen will go and bring back our great heroes. Li Chengqian also smiled, he knew who the other person Li Shimin was referring to.

Looking at Li Chengqian's life in history, we can see that although Li Shimin is the high-ranking son of heaven and the Khan of the Tang Empire, when facing his most beloved son, he is only like thousands of the most ordinary fathers in the world, carefully cultivating and patiently teaching, especially his beloved son is about to inherit his imperial business, and it takes a lot of effort and energy.

When Li Chengqian was less than 6 years old, Tang Taizong asked the famous Confucian scholar Lu Deming to teach him; When Li Chengqian was 12 years old, Tang Taizong began to consciously cultivate his ability to handle government affairs; After Li Chengqian grew older and did not follow the law, Li Shimin took great pains to lead him back to the right path, and even heard that some people speculated that Li Chengqian's storage position was unstable, so he immediately appointed Wei Zheng as the crown prince and prince to meet the expectations of the public; Even if Cheng Qian later committed such a heinous crime as rebellion, Tang Taizong was disappointed and still had to rack his brains to save his life, and even when he changed the crown prince, he was full of plans for his three beloved sons. Li Chengqian, who lost the crown prince, died of depression not long after. And how sad Li Shimin was about the death of his beloved son, who he once had high hopes for, is difficult to know, but it is said that in the year after Cheng Qian's death, Tang Taizong wrote a poem "Autumn Eyes":

Refreshing floating Danque, autumn light purple palace.

The clothes are broken and the lotus is sparse, and the flowers are chrysanthemum.

The robe is light and the grass is dew, and the cover is loose in the wind.

Scattered clouds and leaves, lost and flying smoke.

The brick cold orchid withered, and the boudoir tree fell paulownia.

Don't be in the crane in the piano, away from the ape cry gorge.

Falling star arrows, half-moon bows.

Fangfei is foggy at sunset, and the twilight is full of oaks.

Whether it is the loneliness and loneliness of seeing autumn chrysanthemums dotting the flowers, or the sorrow symbolized by the images of farewell cranes and apes, they all imply Li Shimin's deep longing for his beloved son who has passed away. It's just that Li Chengqian has passed away, and the Tang prince, who was once in the spotlight, will never come back.

Li Chengqian's death, Li Shimin has too many responsibilities, as a father, he treats his beloved sons equally, but in addition to his father's identity, he is also an emperor, the imperial power is unique, is the existence of self-respect, for this position, how many people are not moved? In the end, his equal treatment made other sons mistaken, made Li Chengqian mistakenly think that his position was difficult to protect, and also made Li Tai and Li Ke launch a charge against the crown prince, which made the brothers deviate from morality and drift away, which directly led to the tragedy again.

And now, with Qin Fengming's secret reminder, and after the father and son "will reconcile", Li Yuan's unapologetic direct warning made Li Shimin suddenly break out in a cold sweat, he has always been concerned about national affairs, and he ignored the education of his children, only to find that he was pushing his sons step by step into the abyss that is difficult to turn back.

Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends!

Li Shimin has already begun to remedy.
