970, the rabbit died and the fox was sad

After Gao Jianwu's bloody suppression, no one in Pyongyang dared to continue to talk about Gao Jianwu's killing of Eulji Wendeok's family. On the other hand, although the army was responsible for suppressing those things that were discussed, Gao Jianwu didn't realize for a while that it was the military morale that suffered the biggest loss in this matter. Ulji Mundeok can be said to be the military god of Goguryeo in this era, and he has a great influence in the army. And even though he has passed away, he is still a god-like figure in the eyes of many Goguryeos. But now the god of war in their minds is actually treated like this, and they can't be at peace after they die, and they are really speechless now. And this qiē will gradually come out.

"Your Majesty, recently we have gone through different means to obtain the integrity of many Goguryeo Pyongyang city guards, and they are willing to surrender to our Tang Dynasty at a critical time. However, there are no high-level generals who have surrendered to honesty yet, maybe they are being watched too closely, or for some other reason, but I think there should be mid-level generals soon. So now the king of Goguryeo can be said to be in mourning! When the time comes, the hearts of the Goguryeo people will belong to my Tang Dynasty, so as long as our army attacks, I am afraid we will be able to conquer it. Jingwen said with a smile.

And the Silla queen Kindman next to her also said rarely: "General Gyeongwen is right, originally General Gyeongwen said that the strongest fortresses are breached from the inside, and now I also believe it." This time, General Jingwen's clever plan really conquered Goguryeo's heart! ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to praise me, I have never supported the use of clever schemes. And the reason why this time can be like this is actually because the pressure of my Tang army is too great, and the king of Goguryeo has to do this. If it weren't for such a powerful military force as my Datang, then they would not have surrendered. And this qiē is the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, I am just an errand runner. Jingwen said.

"Hehehehe, General Jingwen is really modest!" Kindman laughed.

And Jingwen suddenly became confused, this queen is really good! The queen's style is really different from that of ordinary women, with the coat of a king. It's extraordinary.

"She doesn't seem to be married, and it seems like she has no offspring in her life, is there some reason here?" Jing Wen couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Li Shimin also continued: "This time, the generals of Goguryeo were able to surrender, but in fact, they were all sad that rabbits and foxes died. ”

The so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad, that is, the rabbit dies and the fox grieves. And this seems to be irrelevant, but in fact, it means that the rabbit and the fox have the same enemy, that is, the hunter. And once the rabbit died, the hunter's next target was the fox, so the fox grieved. This is also referred to as an alliance. Or people of the same status feel grief for each other. It's as if the emperor killed one of his ministers, and the other minister who was allied with him also felt sad in his heart, and although he did not threaten himself, he also feared that one day he would end up in the same fate.

This time, Eulzhi Wende's family was killed, and Gao Jianwu, the king of Goguryeo, can be said to have fallen into the Tang Dynasty's scheme. And then Gao Jianwu also ordered the army to suppress the people who were talking, which really made the army lose its loyalty. Ulji Wendeok is the military god of Goguryeo, and he has made such great contributions to the country, but you still treat his family and descendants like this, which is very unstable for the hearts of the army. People want the army to fight hard. Then the government still has to take care of their families. If you die on the front line, but your family is still bullied by some fools, then those living comrades-in-arms will be sad for the rabbit to die.

"Your Majesty, this time you canonized Yizhi Wende. What a move! Originally, the Goguryeo people were still very worried about surrendering to our Tang Dynasty. But after this canonization of Eulji Wendeok, that is, countless Goguryeo people knew the emperor's benevolence and did not hold grudges. In this way, there are many more people who are willing to take the initiative to join my Datang. This will be of great help to our conquest of Goguryeo! Jingwen said.

"Hehe, I'm just learning from the experience of my predecessors." Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin's meaning is to learn from his predecessors, and Jingwen also understands what this predecessor means. Li Shimin's meaning is that after Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, became emperor. In fact, there are many people who are enemies of Liu Bang under Xiang Yu, and they are all afraid that Liu Bang will retaliate. Later, someone also built yì Liu Bang and rewarded a person named Yongya. And this Yongya is the person who offended Liu Bang the most ruthlessly, and was the most ruthless to Liu Bang back then. And at first, Liu Bang really didn't want to be canonized, anyway, Liu Bang thought it was good not to kill him. But later, Liu Bang still rewarded it, because only by rewarding Yongya can everyone feel at ease.

Because everyone saw that even Yongya, who offended Liu Bang the most ruthlessly and was the most ruthless to Liu Bang, was also rewarded heavily, so aren't those who haven't offended so ruthlessly still be able to get preferential treatment, or even heavier rewards?

And now Li Shimin has given this Yizhi Wende a thick posthumous seal, that is, to learn from Liu Bang's behavior back then. And those Goguryeo people were very moved to see that Eulji Wende, who had killed hundreds of thousands of Han people back then, and even insulted the corpses of Han people like this, could receive such a heavy reward and posthumous seal, even if it was just an honorary one. And those who think that they don't have too much blood debt to the Han people, that is, they can take the initiative to take refuge, and not only will they not be killed, but they can get a heavy reward. And there is also a saying in this, so these two are combined to practice.

Of course, no one knows the squalor in it. Li Shimin would never say anything about this Yizhi Wende's family was killed by himself by implying that Gao Jianwu, and now that Gao Jianwu killed Yizhi Wende's family, Gao Jianwu will bear the responsibility, and Gao Jianwu will be the villain for Li Shimin.

And this also solves a trouble, anyway, if Goguryeo is conquered at that time, then how to deal with Eulji Wendeok's family is also a problem. If you kill it then, it's not good. But if you don't kill it, you won't be able to explain it to the people and soldiers. So now Li Shimin is using Gao Jianwu's hands to kill these family members of Yizhi Wende, so that his hands are clean, and he has also relieved himself of a lot of trouble. In the end, Li Shimin wasted and used this Eulji Wende to posthumously seal it, and immediately won the hearts of many Goguryeo people. (To be continued......)
