965, tongue-to-tongue
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we have already killed the family members of Yizhi Wende, the culprit who killed hundreds of thousands of Zhongyuan brothers, please retreat from the army quickly!" Takazo said.
And Li Shimin said seriously: "When did I agree, you killed the family member of Yizhi Wende and I will retire?" ”
"Wasn't this said by the general who was by the emperor's side at the time?" Takazo asked.
And Li Shimin continued: "He is him, I am me, when did I agree?" ”
Gao Zang was completely stunned, he didn't expect Li Shimin to be so shameless. At that time, it was clear that Li Shimin was also next to Jingwen, and after Jingwen said those words, Li Shimin also "pretended" to nod again and again, and Gao Zang thought that this was what Li Shimin meant. As a result, Gao Zang went back and told him Brother Wang, and now Datang actually denies it.
"Your Majesty, you obviously agreed!" Gao Zang hurriedly said anxiously.
"When did I say yes? Don't talk nonsense, or I'll hold you accountable for forgery!" Li Shimin said.
Gao Zang reacted at this time, and he was fooled by Li Shimin. At that time, Li Shimin just nodded, and did not say anything to agree with Jingwen's words. If strictly speaking, Li Shimin didn't open his mouth at all, so naturally he couldn't say what Li Shimin promised to be happy. That means that Li Shimin didn't promise, but he killed Yizhi Wende's family without getting Li Shimin's actual promise, which is really a loss to his grandmother's family. Now that Datang has turned his face and doesn't recognize people, he is really not a person inside and out.
Gao Zang continued to say angrily: "Your Majesty, this was promised by the general next to you, and he fooled us so much, so shouldn't he be punished?" This is a crime of false transmission of the Holy Decree, and according to the rules of your Datang, it should also be severely punished, right? ”
Gao Zang knew that he had been brushed by the Tang Dynasty. The reason why Datang asked them to kill the family of Yizhi Wende. In fact, they also want to shake the hearts of the people within Goguryeo, and only by shaking the hearts of the people within them can Gao Jianwu lose the hearts of the people. Once the hearts of the people are lost, in this situation where the Tang Dynasty army is pressed to the capital, once the people do not support this king, it will be very miserable. At that time, the hearts of all kinds of people will change, and Gao Jianwu will be finished.
"Oh, that Jingwen he casually promised you, this is not my idea. So I have punished him severely, and I have dismissed him from his post and kept him in office. Then wear the guilty and make meritorious contributions. Li Shimin said.
The so-called dismissal and retention of office means that you are removed from your official position, but you are still allowed to exercise your authority in your original position, and then find a way to make meritorious contributions to regain your official position. This kind of thing, in fact, is bluffing. In ancient times, many officials were dismissed and retained, and then it was regarded as punishment. In reality, however, he was still exercising his authority, and it had no real impact. As for the meritorious service of the guilty, it is completely the meaning of looking at the top. If the boss thinks that his merit is enough, he can officially be reinstated. So this is exactly a punishment that is not a punishment. It all depends on what the people above think.
Li Shimin dismissed Jingwen from his post and kept him in office, in fact, it was useless at all, and there was no actual punishment at all, and Jingwen still continued to exercise the rights of the Minister of Military Affairs. Continue to serve as chief of staff for Li Shimin. So this is even a punishment, but this punishment is not painful and does not threaten anything.
"Good! What a Tang Emperor, I know it! You are so shameless. We Goguryeo are not vegetarians, and we will definitely defeat you again and kill your hundreds of thousands of troops! When the time comes. We must destroy your Tang Dynasty. Gao Zang said angrily.
Gaozang was completely furious, he naturally knew that this qiē was all a conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty didn't really want to let Goguryeo go at all. And this time, he borrowed Goguryeo's hand and killed Eulji Wendeok's family with a knife to kill, so that their hearts were about to be scattered.
In fact, Gao Jianwu also knew the reasons for this, but they still had hope in case, but now this hope has turned into despair. And once humanity despairs, it will become completely hysterical. If Gao Jianwu and Gao Zang knew that the Tang Dynasty would not let them go, then they would definitely fight to the death, and if they died, they would drag down a few Tang Dynasty people who had their backs anyway.
"Come on, send this madman back to Pyongyang!" Li Shimin said angrily.
This Gao Zang is actually crazy, what do you say to kill hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty, and then destroy the Tang Dynasty? Isn't this a madman? So Li Shimin won't talk nonsense with a madman and let people blow him away directly.
"Your Majesty, I carried the black cauldron for you this time!" Jingwen complained.
Li Shimin immediately said: "There are more people in this world who want to carry the black pot for me. I let you carry the black cauldron, that's your honor! ”
"......" Jingwen was speechless.
This time, Jingwen actually proposed it to Li Shimin and forced Gao Jianwu to kill Eulji Wende's family, which made Goguryeo's hearts disheartened. Of course, for Gao Jianwu to kill the Yizhi Wende family, then they must see hope. And what Jingwen said about killing Yizhi Wende's family, then the matter of retiring from the army was actually Li Shimin's deliberate attempt to deceive them. And Jingwen deliberately made this Gaozang mistakenly think that it was Li Shimin's idea, so that they would kill Etozhi Wende's family.
Of course, this is actually Li Shimin deceiving them. But Li Shimin is the emperor, of course he can't take the initiative to bear this charge of deceiving others, after all, you have no jokes! If the emperor is deceived, it will be a huge loss to the prestige of the king. Therefore, the crime of deceiving others must be borne by Jing Wen, and this is also the saying that Jing Wen retained his post in the revolution and made meritorious contributions.
As for Jingwen's dismissal and retention, and his meritorious service, it doesn't mean anything at all, and fools can see that Li Shimin did not hold him responsible. As for the next, Jingwen still has to continue to lead the staff officers to be responsible for formulating the battle plan, and then conquer Goguryeo for the Tang Dynasty.
"Jingwen, you tell the soldiers, and then I will take the initiative to bury the families of these Yizhi Wende!" Li Shimin said.
And Jingwen immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Your Majesty, you are really insidious!" ”
"Go, go, how can I call this insidious? Why do you say that? Li Shimin pretended to be angry and said.
"Clearly, the emperor is valuing his opponents and appreciating loyal ministers! Even if he is an enemy, he can appreciate it. Jingwen said.
Soon, the whole army was called out, and then everyone had to come to participate in the funeral of the family of Ulzhi Wende. (To be continued......)
