Chapter 51 The Pen of History is Like a Knife
Although Chen Fei wants to be an official and wants to be rich and noble, he still has a bottom line as a national of the country. Li Shimin wanted to make peace and give it to the Turkic people to pay tribute, which Chen Fei would never be able to pinch his nose and admit it. Chen Fei is a person born in the next generation, so he is naturally a super angry young man. And he is still a soldier, even if he is a soldier, but there are times when he is hot-blooded. Now that the Turks are calling, these grandsons don't think about how to deal with the enemy, but think about exchanging peace by making peace and paying tribute, which Chen Fei absolutely cannot tolerate.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to make people nostalgic back then was actually because the Ming Dynasty had backbone. In terms of wealth, they are not as good as the Song Dynasty, and they are not as good as the Tang Dynasty in terms of territory, but the reason why they can be respected is mainly because they have backbone. Even when they were in danger, they never compromised with foreign invaders. Even if he is in trouble, he will never pay tribute, pay compensation, send a princess, or sign any unequal treaties. Therefore, this is the backbone of the nation, so the Ming Dynasty can be admired by future generations.
The Tang Dynasty, although it is known as the most powerful era in China, is far inferior to the Ming Dynasty in terms of backbone. And as an angry young man in later generations, if Chen Fei accepts this method of exchanging peace through peace and selling his wealth to foreign countries to pay tribute, then Chen Fei really won't do it. Although Chen Fei became an official in order to eat mixed rice, Chen Fei would not sell his conscience for the sake of wealth and wealth, and betrayed his discipline as a descendant of Chinese Yan and Huang. If Li Shimin really wants to rely on this means in exchange for peace, then Chen Fei will not serve his mother. Anyway, after Chen Fei left, with his mobile phone skills, he was able to mix well even if he was not an official.
"Prince, and all of you, your words and deeds today will be recorded in the history books of later generations. You can be friendly today, you can pay tribute to the Turks, but you will never be able to hide it from future generations. Prince, even if you become an emperor in the future, you can't do anything to your descendants. Future generations will also remember that you gave the Turkic Nagong today, and sent the princess to the Turks, what will you be like in the future to the master of the world. When the time comes, what face will you have to lead the world? Even if you manage to sit on the throne reluctantly, it will be a stain that you will never be able to erase for the rest of your life. And future generations will also look down on you because of this, if you really want to be like this, then I didn't say it! Chen Fei said.
After Chen Fei finished speaking, a civil official also took the initiative to come out and said: "Prince, the minister Li Chunfeng is the official of the Taishi Bureau, and the duty of the minister is to record the history books meticulously and without mistakes or omissions. What you say and do today, I will record it in the history books, please respect yourself! ”
Chen Fei didn't expect that he actually met a small celebrity, this Li Chunfeng was also an astronomical meteorologist in the Tang Dynasty, but now he is an official in charge of recording historical books. And he took the initiative to come out and explain that everything today will be recorded in the history books. If Li Shimin really wants to pay tribute to his relatives, Li Chunfeng will definitely record it in the history books word by word, and future generations will be able to see it at that time. When the time comes, what future generations will say about Li Shimin, I'm afraid it's hard to say.
And Wei Chigong also took off his official hat and said: "Prince, if you really would rather take the wealth in the treasury to the Turks than reward the three armies, it means that the Tang Dynasty no longer needs us to defend the country, so please allow me to return to my hometown!" Nor can a minister accept a court that would rather give a rich princess to a foreign clan than reward the three armies! ”
Wei Chigong's words immediately made many generals take the initiative to come out and take off their official hats, and then obviously if Li Shimin disagreed, he would resign immediately.
"This is a forced palace!"
Everyone suddenly had such an idea in their hearts, that is, under the stimulation of Chen Fei, a civil official, the military generals actually began to force the palace. Obviously, they also did not intend to make peace and pay tribute as a condition in exchange for the withdrawal of the Turkic army. Now Datang is not without strength, but when he has strength, he still has to pay tribute and harmony, which is obviously unacceptable. So the generals were also disappointed, which made them very angry and wanted to resign as a threat.
However, the behavior of the military general was led by a civilian official, which is obviously a bit absurd.
However, everyone heard Li Chunfeng say that he would record the behavior of all the people at the scene into the history books, and no one spoke at once.
Because the ancients were different from the later generations, the ancients attached great importance to the reputation after death. And these reputations are all written by the historians, in case today's agreement to pay tribute to Hehe, it is equivalent to being recorded in the history books by Li Chunfeng, so how to deal with his reputation in the future?
Even Li Shimin, the future emperor, did not dare to despise his future reputation. In case today's events are recorded in the history books, then Li Shimin, the emperor, really has no face to set an example for his descendants. Although many people can say anything about pro-Nagong in the Han Dynasty, this is just to comfort themselves, and everyone knows that it is not a good thing to be pro-Nagong. So if you agree to pay tribute today, I'm afraid it will really make future generations look down on you. So Li Shimin has also fallen into helplessness, now it can be said that Chen Fei and a group of generals forced the palace, if they still stubbornly want to pay tribute, I am afraid that not only a large group of military generals will resign, and then he will become the emperor in the future, and he will not be able to recover the damage to his reputation in history. When the time comes, he, the emperor who pays tribute and is friendly, will let future generations see it.
Li Shimin stood up, pulled out the sword beside him, and then said: "Since the Turks have bullied me too much and forced and pro-tribute, then our Datang Dynasty has absolutely no reason to pay tribute." From today on, whoever says that I will pay tribute to him will not be spared! ”
And Chen Fei saw Li Shimin's appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Li Shimin really deserves to be the pinnacle of politicians, and he said that he would change his face immediately. Just now, I wanted to agree with the statement of pro-Nagong, but now it has immediately become a non-pro-Nagong, and his face changes so quickly. However, after all, Li Shimin did not directly say anything amicable, so naturally there would be no problem.
"Good!" "Hello prince, we are not afraid of the Turks." "We have an army of 200,000 in Chang'an, which is not as good as being close to the Turks!"
A group of military attachés also began to praise, and the high-ranking civilian officials were obviously not very happy. However, this is only a high-level civil official, because they can no longer be promoted, so they naturally need to be stable. There is no change in the middle and lower levels of civil servants, because they also want to be promoted with merit.
