Chapter 161: It's just fading away

After Shi Bufan helped Li Shimin solve the candidate for the envoy Xue Yantuo, he began to prepare to quietly taste the taste of these barbecues. Anyway www.biquge.info, it's hard to get a camping at public expense in this fight, so how can you enjoy it? Under the banner of serving the people, half-truths and half-truths came out to hunt, and by the way, camping at public expense, obviously this is an activity of a high-level nobleman of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, sometimes, as long as there are officials and nobles involved, it will not become so simple, especially this kind of social interaction between high-level leaders, it will not be so easy. Even if it is Li Shimin, the emperor, he has to solve some government affairs in his leisure time, such as the person who sent Xue Yantuo just now.

"Cheng Biting Jin, this wild boar was obviously shot to death by me, why did you snatch it?" "Wei Chigong, you are a marketman, you actually snatched my prey, what are you doing?" "Cheng Biting Jin, obviously I shot it to death, why did you snatch it?" "Tell you, I'm Cheng Zhijie, not Cheng Yanjin, you remember it clearly for me!" "Cheng Biting Jin, are you looking for a fight?" "I'll come if there's a kind, I'm still afraid of you, the market?" ……

"Crackling ......"

The sound of the impact of weapons immediately attracted everyone's attention, even Shi Bufan and Li Shimin. And according to the shouting just now, it is obvious that Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong actually fought, and it seems that it was because of the dispute over the prey that this caused a conflict between the two sides. Actually for a prey, the two generals of Datang actually fought, which was really speechless.

"What? I, the two generals of the Tang Dynasty, actually fought for a wild boar, isn't it shameful to spread it like this? Li Shimin said angrily.

Cheng Biting Jin, this Wei Chi Gong, stopped and came to Li Shimin together.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chigong, this market boy actually robbed my prey!" "Your Majesty, this was obviously shot to death by my husband, I shot him first, how can I say that it is his?" "Market, I shot you!" ……

The two generals quarreled again, and it was such a mess. The two scolded each other here, Cheng Biting Jin scolded Wei Chigong as a "marketer", Wei Chigong was obviously not convinced, and wanted to do it directly, and the two sides were about to break out.

"Market, a kind of swearing in the Tang Dynasty? Shijinger refers to the kind of people who eat in the market, when Wei Chigong used to make a living by striking iron, and later joined the army of the Sui Dynasty, and gradually came to this day. So this sentence is a scolding sentence, obviously scolding people early! Cheng bites Jin, this is too vicious, right? Shi Bufan thought.

However, it is obvious that there are many contradictions between Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin, and there are deep contradictions between them. Maybe many film and television dramas and novels think that Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong are very good together, but in fact, it is impossible, judging from their backgrounds, they are destined to be unable to come together.

"Okay, what's the system?" Li Shimin said angrily.

Shi Bufan hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, ask what is going on?" ”

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me, this Cheng Biting Jin ......" Wei Chigong wanted to say something, but Cheng Biting Jin immediately slapped him.

"Tell you, I'm Cheng Zhijie, I'm a Shandong scholar, not Cheng Biting Jin. I'm Cheng Zhijie! Cheng Yanjin said angrily.

Cheng Yanjin is the original name, and Cheng Zhijie is the current official name, but obviously the relationship between Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin is very poor, and the two sides are not harmonious at all. But at this time, Cheng Yanjin's helper came.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Fang Xuanling asked.

After a while, Fang Xuanling didn't care about the reality at all, and scolded Wei Chigong directly, saying, "Wei Chigong, what do you mean by this?" Since it was the wild boar that General Cheng shot first, how can you take the credit? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also immediately mended the knife and said: "Wei Chigong, why don't you see clearly, since General Cheng shot him to death first, then why do you need to do this?" ”

Wei Chigong looked at the gang and Cheng Biting Jin's nostrils, and suddenly became very anxious, but he couldn't say a word clearly. Wei Chigong looked at Li Shimin, obviously hoping that Li Shimin would take the initiative to help, but Li Shimin hesitated.

Shi Bufan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's better to be like this, everyone is my two generals of the Tang Dynasty, how can you fight for this wild boar?" Why don't you give this wild boar to the emperor, what do you think? ”

"Well, I'm going to ask for this wild boar, you guys should go hunting again!" Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin is planning to make peace with the mud, but the contradiction between Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong is obviously not completely over, they still continue to hunt overnight, but no one can convince anyone.

"Hey, Wei Chi Jingde's loyalty is loyalty, but that's ...... Ay! Li Shimin sighed, obviously helpless.

Shi Bufan, who was beside Li Shimin, obviously heard that Li Shimin was not blaming Wei Chigong, but had a bit of self-blame. That's right, Li Shimin is mostly blaming himself, blaming himself for not being able to protect Wei Chigong. If you want to say that who is the most loyal to Li Shimin in this world, it is nothing more than Wei Chigong. Even if he is known as Li Shimin's hardcore loyal minister, Sun Wuji, his loyalty to Li Shimin is not so simple. Because the eldest grandson Wuji wants to be rich, and his sister is the queen, so that the relatives are loyal. This kind of loyalty is certainly a heart, but it is mixed with too many entanglements of interests.

Only Wei Chigong is the purest loyalty, and he is the death of Li Shimin's confidant. Along the way, Wei Chigong has charged into battle every time, and every time he has been Li Shimin's hardcore lackey. Even every time he does dirty work, he is the most unscrupulous, and he even killed Li Yuanji in person in history, which can be said to be the most loyal to Li Shimin. But now Li Shimin can't protect him, and of course Li Shimin will blame himself.

"It seems that Wei Chigong is going to be unloaded and killed by the donkey!" Shi Bufan sighed and thought.

Shi Bufan returned to his own part and directly told Dugu Daxue what happened just now.

"It's a pity, Wei Chigong is not from the Shi clan, so he suffers a lot. Wei Chigong used to be a blacksmith in the past, and he was a man of the market, and he was looked down upon by those scholars. Wei Chi Gong was upright by nature and had always been known for his loyalty to the emperor. But apart from loyalty or loyalty, he has no other abilities except martial arts, and this is where he suffers the most. He may be needed when he fights the world, but now it is difficult. Dugu Daxue said.

Of course, Shi Bufan knew that after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he was the worst senior hero, and that was this Wei Chigong. Wei Chigong is actually a military general, his command ability is not as good as Li Jing and Li Ji, he just relies on bravery and martial arts to fight the world, he is just a commando captain and special forces commander. But in the real large-scale corps battle, Wei Chigong can't play it. Although Wei Chigong's martial arts are powerful, they are of little use in peacetime. There are many people who are good at martial arts, and it's not just Wei Chigong. Wei Chigong's ability is replaceable, although he is the most loyal to Li Shimin, but his background and his ability are too single, which are his Achilles' heel.

"Husband, Wei Chigong's ability is to fight on the battlefield, he can't do command, and his ability to lead troops is very poor. And he didn't come from a good background, just a blacksmith. On the contrary, although Cheng Biting Jin, who looks just as rude, is from the Shi clan. Maybe ordinary people don't know that Cheng Yanjin's father used to be the central official of Qizhou. The Zhongzheng officials in the Jiupin Zhongzheng system are all served by the Shi clan, so there is no doubt that this Cheng Biting Jin is a Shi clan. In the face of the cold family, once there is a direct conflict, most of these scholars will help their relatives and not help them. Wei Chigong was born as a blacksmith, and he is a poor family among the poor families, and he is even far inferior to you. Although Cheng Yanjin is a declining scholar, in the eyes of the scholars, the scholars will always be the scholars, so they don't help their relatives. Wei Chigong has never gotten Fang Xuanling's true friendship, and once there is a conflict, they will besiege Wei Chigong together. In this regard, the emperor has no choice. When the world is undecided, the emperor can make up his mind to protect Chi Gong. But now, Wei Chigong is afraid that it will be difficult. The world is already peaceful, and Wei Chigong's ability is too single, and there can be many people to replace him. Dugu Daxue said.

Shi Bufan knows very well why he has repeatedly had some conflicts with Li Shimin, and even in fact, Li Shimin does not absolutely trust himself, but Li Shimin has to keep himself. Even Li Shimin once said in front of the county lord of Dingxiang that he would rather have less Wei Chigong than have him less. To say that a few people who really left a big name in the early Tang Dynasty were actually none other than Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Wei Zheng, and Li Ji.

But if you think about it carefully, these few people have irreplaceable abilities. Fang Xuanling is good at strategy, Du Ruhui is good at analysis and decision-making, Wei Zheng will advise, Li Jing is good at commanding operations in large corps, and Li Ji is both civil and military, which is too bad, and Li Ji is very good at being a man. So these people all have their own special abilities, so Li Shimin can't leave them.

Shi Bufan is the same, Shi Bufan has an ability that others do not have, that is, in dealing with people's livelihood and financial management, others can't catch up. Shi Bufan has the ability that no one else can replace, which is why Li Shimin has to reuse and protect Shi Bufan even if he offends the Shi clan. Otherwise, even if Shi Bufan's head is not cut off, he will be "going home to sell sweet potatoes".

This is what Yu Chigong suffers the most, he doesn't use anything other than loyalty and martial arts. Martial arts may be more important in troubled times, but they are not used in peacetime. In addition, there are too many people who can replace Wei Chigong, and there are many people with strong martial arts. Even if you can't do martial arts, you can win by relying on everyone's sea tactics. Martial arts are not a decisive factor on the battlefield, and no matter how brave a person is, it is useless on the battlefield. Therefore, although Wei Chi Gong has gained fame by relying on martial arts alone, once it is in peacetime, it will be useless and will be eliminated.

He does not have the strategy and determination of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, let alone Li Jing's ability to command the large corps, and as for handling the position of a civilian official, Wei Chigong is obviously very difficult to handle. In this way, Wei Chi Gong is embarrassed, he is considered a "useless hero", and he is not even as good as Shi Bufan. Shi Bufan is good at managing money, and Wei Chigong really can't do anything.

"Wei Chigong's historical mission has been completed, I'm afraid that he will be squeezed out next, and then go to the local government to serve as the state assassin. But if you go to the local government to serve as a state assassin, what right do you have? Compared to the national center in the center, it is obviously incomparable. In ancient times, the magistrates had very little power, and there was little room for them to play. Day after day, year after year, waiting for farmers to farm and pay taxes, and that's it, and there's not much room for governance. Wei Chigong's historical mission has been accomplished, and there is no political family behind him. It's not like Cheng Yanjin was born in a scholar clan, and someone can support him. Cheng Yanjin, the second wife, if my memory is not bad, she is a member of the Cui family. is a woman from the Cui family, Cheng Yanjin married a woman from the Cui family in Qinghe as his second wife, so he really integrated into the Cui family in Qinghe and won the support of the Cui family in Qinghe. It should have won the support of the Cui family, so that Cheng Yanjin jumped up and down, but Wei Chigong offended people everywhere and had a lot of trouble with Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji. During the Tang Dynasty, the founding heroes were not so harmonious, but full of contradictions. Shi Bufan began to recall that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the contradictions between the founding heroes were very large, and they were not as harmonious as those in ordinary people's film and television dramas and novels.

There is the love and killing of the imperial power and the scholars, and the difficulty of the Hanmen beginning to rise, and the scholars are not so monolithic, and there is also a lot of internal struggle for power and profit. In addition, the Guanlong group and the Shandong Shi clan within the Shi clan, there are also many contradictions.

And Wei Chigong was the first person to be kicked out. He is neither from the Shi clan, nor does he have a few unique abilities that others don't have, plus he can't be a backer, so he will definitely be the first to be kicked out in this chaotic situation. Shi Bufan knows how to manage money and deal with people's livelihood, which is the reason why Li Shimin can't do without him. When Li Shimin left, he was short of money! Li Shimin left Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, he didn't have enough think tanks, and the power group represented by Fang Du and Du made Li Shimin inseparable from them. Li Jing was the only person in the Tang Dynasty who could command a large army to fight, Wei Zheng was a political signboard, and Cheng Yanjin had the support of the Cui family behind him. But Wei Chigong is the most embarrassed, he does not have the identity or ability that Li Shimin can not live without, Li Shimin is still the emperor without him, and there will be no loss.

"Veterans don't die, they just fade away! Peace seems to be really the death of a martial artist, and peace is the greatest sorrow of soldiers, which is not bad. Shi Bufan sighed.

"Veterans don't die, they just fade away, it seems that you really say what we veterans have in our hearts." A man said behind Shi Bufan.
