Chapter 81: The Chinese People Represented
Li Junxian returned home with peace of mind, and Li Junxian knew that this matter would not end so easily. Li Junxian was actually prepared in his heart, he knew that the theory of finally saying the Chinese nation on the spot was very novel, and it was not even something that Li Shimin could easily accept. However, Li Junxian can also be sure that Li Shimin will never kill himself, because Li Shimin has indirectly tied up the entire Chinese people, so if Li Shimin wants to kill himself, he will indirectly be the enemy of the Chinese people.
Li Junxian stayed at home for two days with peace of mind, and he was ordered by Li Shimin to think about it behind closed doors and wait for disposal. But Li Shimin didn't send troops to guard it, just let Li Junxian stay at home alone. But Li Junxian was not in a hurry, and he didn't think about running away, Li Junxian was playing chess with Wan'er.
"General Li, what should I do now? You say that, but you have offended Your Majesty! Your Majesty is afraid that you will have your head cut off! Wan'er said anxiously.
"What? I'm scared! Actually, you can go! The emperor will not care about you alone. Li Junxian said.
Wan'er shook her head and said, "No, since I am the general's woman, I will live and die with the general!" ”
"Hey, the loyalty of women in ancient times is much stronger than that of later generations!" Li Junxian thought secretly.
Li Junxian began to explain: "Wan'er, you don't have to worry, the emperor is unlikely to kill me. Because killing me is to leave an indelible hidden danger for his descendants, which is the reason for rebellion against those careerists in the world. ”
"Why?" Wan'er obviously didn't know the reason for this.
"I represent the Chinese people, and the Chinese people are also represented by me."
The reason why Li Junxian is not afraid that Li Shimin will kill him is because he now represents the people of the world. Although before Li Junxian expressed the theory of loyalty to the Chinese people, nationalism was in vogue from time to time. But since Li Junxian said that he was loyal to the Chinese people, it was tantamount to tying his fate to the Chinese people to a certain extent.
Although Li Junxian clearly said that he was not loyal to Li Shimin, Li Junxian did not have any rebellion, and even said it very directly. And if Li Shimin killed Li Junxian without a clear rebellion, it would be unjust killing. But Li Junxian has clearly stated that he is loyal, so Li Shimin killed Li Junxian because Li Junxian's loyalty was not him, that is, he couldn't get along with the people of the world.
Li Junxian gave Li Shimin this choice, which is actually a bit similar to a situation in later generations. Later, a reporter went to interview a magistrate and wanted to expose the local [***] situation, and the magistrate directly asked the reporter, do you love the party or the country. This local magistrate is obviously a fool when he says such bastard words. In fact, the interests of the party and the state should be one, and there should be no separation. And this local official actually cut off the two, that's not a fool's thing. Fortunately, he was only a magistrate and did not represent the entire party.
And the choice that Li Junxian gave Li Shimin is also a dilemma, if Li Shimin kills Li Junxian, it will show that the interests of himself and the Chinese people are separated. Li Shimin is actually equivalent to the ruling class to a certain extent, as well as those in power. If Li Shimin, the ruler and ruler, makes it clear that his own interests are separated from the interests of the Chinese people, then how do you let the people see you! Don't forget, Li Junxian showed that he was loyal to the Chinese people, and if Li Shimin killed Li Junxian, this would be tantamount to showing the Chinese people that he and Huaxia's interests were separated.
If Li Shimin really dared to do this, it would be tantamount to leaving a legacy for the Tang Dynasty regime and a reason for those careerists to rebel. Although Li Shimin can make the world stable by making great efforts, his descendants will be in trouble. Li Shimin killed Li Junxian, leaving behind this indelible trouble, once there is a change in the world, then the people of the world can rebel on this ground, because the interests of your Li family and the interests of the people are separated, you will not be able to rule the Chinese people.
Li Shimin is not stupid, of course he knows that this choice is problematic. In order not to leave the legacy of the ruling theory for his descendants, the best result is not to kill Li Junxian, and not even to punish him, so he just messed up. But if Li Junxian is not killed, Li Shimin will not be happy in his heart. Because Li Junxian made it clear that he was not loyal to the emperor, Li Shimin, the emperor, was a little unhappy. But Li Junxian didn't have any rebellion, so Li Shimin had no reason to kill Li Junxian!
Even, now the court officials and the people of the world may be paying attention to this matter to see how Li Shimin deals with it. If Li Shimin kills Li Junxian, although the court officials and the people of the world will not say anything, they will be tired in their hearts. Because most of the officials are Han Chinese, and most of the people are also Han Chinese, you Li Shimin actually did something to separate the interests of the Li family and the Chinese people, then this makes the Han people in the world a little chilled.
What makes people all over the world feel cold, this is absolutely not something that can be done. Li Shimin, a veteran politician for many years, certainly knows the role of the people's will. If Li Junxian is killed now, and the interests of the Li family and the Chinese people are not in the same direction, then the "public opinion support rate" of the people in the world will be greatly reduced. Now that Datang has not been completely stabilized, anything that damages the support of the public cannot be done, otherwise it will give those careerists a chance.
In this way, Li Junxian represented the people of the world, and compared himself to a spokesman for the interests of the people of the world, and it was a question whether Li Shimin killed or not.
Li Junxian said when he was playing chess with Wan'er: "Wan'er, if His Majesty the Emperor is a fool, I will definitely not play this method with him, because it is not possible to use this method against a fool." However, His Majesty the Emperor is a smart person who understands people, and he can quickly think through the problems here, so he knows that killing me will be endless. He is a wise man, and he can't risk offending the people of all walks of life in the world for a person like me who is not a threat to him, and to kill me who is not a threat to him. The best thing I can do is get through with peace of mind, and I'll be able to reuse it. And the worst result is to marry a rich man, and I don't believe in my ability, and I can't be a rich man. Anyway, my head won't fall off, who made the emperor a Ming Jun! ”
"Wan'er believes in General Li."
