"The emperor asked us to tell you, you should leave quickly. Now hurry away, we will only grasp the first evil, and never ask questions. You are being used, and if you continue like this, you will be disloyal to the emperor. Disloyalty to the emperor is rebellion. Are you willing to be an army that is disloyal to the emperor? ”

The eunuch's voice spread through the square in front of the palace along the loudspeaker. And many people have heard it, and at this time some people have hesitated. If the eunuch didn't say anything that amounted to disloyalty, then they would still have the courage to sit down and protest. But now that the emperor has come to plead, I am afraid that if he continues, he will be disloyal to the king. In ancient times, the army was loyal to the emperor, especially those officers with a certain culture. Now that the emperor has come to plead, they have all begun to hesitate a little. Some were hesitating to obey the emperor's orders and leave quickly.

Now that the emperor has clearly come out to plead, they cannot find a "legal basis" to continue protesting. In ancient times, loyalty came first, and nothing could be used as a reason for disloyalty. Now the emperor has come up with loyalty as a reason, and that is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. It is equivalent to taking the "righteousness" of loyalty and removing the reason for their protest, because the reason for their protest is nothing compared to loyalty for many people.

"Sacrificial wine, they're a little unstable." Zhao Dongyang said anxiously.

And Jingwen gritted his teeth, since he had come to this point, there was no possibility of retreating. Jingwen said in Zhao Dongyang's ear, and then Zhao Dongyang immediately came to the back of the protesting army.

"We are loyal, but more patriotic!" Zhao Dongyang shouted.

With this Zhao Dongyang's shout, some people behind him began to shout: "We are loyal to the king, but we are more patriotic!" ”

And this was like a flood, constantly spreading to the entire protest team, and everyone was chanting loyal but more patriotic remarks. And the eunuch had nothing to say, so he could only hurry back and report.

"We are loyal. But more patriotic! The soldiers shouted together.

The shouts of those officers and soldiers had actually spread to the palace a long time ago, and Li Shimin had already heard them.

"It's over!" Li Shimin sat down suddenly and said in a trance.

Li Shimin knew that the army had found a righteous excuse for its actions, and that was the sentence. Li Shimin used loyalty to the monarch as an excuse to remove the legal basis for their protest. However, they actually used patriotism as an excuse to refute Li Shimin's theory of loyalty to the monarch. If in ancient terms, loyalty to the monarch and patriotism are inseparable, and loyalty to the emperor is patriotism.

But this one deliberately separated loyalty from patriotism. So that the army has a new faith. In the past, the army paid attention to the unity of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, but now some people have divided it. Moreover, according to the morpheme order, patriotism is placed on the loyalty to the monarch, which is equivalent to patriotism is much higher than loyalty to the emperor.

And from today on, the army will also have a new faith, that is, patriotism, which is a higher level of faith than loyalty. And Li Shimin knows better. From now on, I am afraid that once the army has its own mind, no one will be able to manipulate the army at will. In the past, the army was blindly obedient and accustomed to obeying its superiors. But now the army actually shouted this sentence. That means that the army may have a principle in the future, that is, patriotism. If the orders of the superiors do not conform to the principle of patriotism, then I am afraid that they will really refuse the order.

If the order ordered by the emperor is detrimental to the interests of the state, then in the case of patriotism over loyalty to the monarch. They may actually refuse to do it. This is the belief of the army, and this belief is higher than loyalty to the emperor. That is, the army of the future. If anyone wants to use the army to do something that is not in the interests of the country, then I am afraid that the army may really refuse to carry out orders. And if Li Shimin wants to use the army to do something detrimental to the interests of the country, the army may be under the control of patriotic beliefs, but will refuse to carry out orders.

This means that Li Shimin can no longer completely and absolutely control the army, that is, because the army has a new faith. Don't look at these words, but it means that the army has found a legal basis for itself to continue protesting, and this basis is patriotism. In the past, loyalty to the monarch and patriotism were combined, but now it has been artificially separated, so there is a reasonable and legitimate reason for the army to continue to protest. If they were still influenced by the idea of loyalty to the monarch just now, but now under the control of the new faith, then I am afraid that they will be able to continue to support them.

And this kind of thinking will also spread to the entire army with the deepening of time. And the whole army will be like passing on one by one, and in the end, the belief of the entire army will become patriotism greater than loyalty to the monarch, which is to cut off the idea of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. It is tantamount to injecting the army into the belief of the military soul, and it is no longer the army of the past.

In the past, there was no concept of loyalty in those armies, and they all gave them their lives to whoever gave them money. But now someone has injected them with ideas, and this idea is patriotism, which means that the army has its own thoughts. And once you have the idea of distinguishing right from wrong, then the army will have its own code of conduct, and with the improvement of the army's cultural level, it will definitely continue to be passed on. The military is a place that attaches great importance to inheritance, and this kind of patriotic thinking will be passed down from generation to generation and cannot be eliminated at all.

But could the emperor accuse them of patriotism? If the emperor accuses them of patriotism, then I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to stand as well. If the emperor comes out and denies the idea of patriotism, then I am afraid that he will slap himself in the mouth, making countless people in the country become unpatriotic. Therefore, Li Shimin could only suffer this dumb loss and let the army have its own thoughts. This qiē is all due to the separation of the two thoughts of loyalty and patriotism.

"It's actually getting to this point. Jingwen, you are the first person who can coerce me! Li Shimin suddenly said fiercely.

"Go and call the Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan!" Li Shimin said.

And the eunuch next to him knew that Li Shimin was planning to admit defeat. Therefore, Li Shimin plans to break the marriage contract with Tubo and will not continue the marriage. And this time, it can be said that the army succeeded in forcing the palace, which made the emperor change his decision. (To be continued......)
