150. History has no ifs
"Unfortunately, there are no assumptions in history."
Luo Taisui said this, but in fact, he didn't have any regrets in his heart.
Regardless of how Li Shimin ascended to the throne, it is an indisputable fact that he created the peak of politics and military affairs in the Tang Dynasty.
"Because of the trend of the times, it cannot be reversed by man." He continued: "What's more, even if King Qin didn't have any intention of getting involved in the throne at that time, the subordinates of King Qin's Mansion would push him to this step. ”
These words immediately attracted Li Lizhen's attention.
Regarding the Xuanwumen mutiny, everyone was secretive, so Li Lizhi also knew very little.
It's just that from some words around her, I learned that her father's military exploits were brilliant enough to shake the crown prince's position, so he was suppressed, framed and persecuted, and finally had no way to retreat, and fought back angrily.
But in the final analysis, killing a brother and killing a brother is contrary to ordinary people.
Especially in the conversation with Luo Taisui, Li Lizhen found that her father had the initiative in the process of seizing the throne, which is the so-called "premeditated".
This devastated her.
The forced is still excusable, but if there is really a plot first, then for her father, this mutiny is undoubtedly a stain that cannot be erased for a lifetime.
And his image in Li Lizhen's mind will also be greatly reduced!
This is the reason why Li Lizhen has been troubled in the past time.
However, what she didn't expect was that Luo Taisui was unusual, and repeatedly mentioned her father's helplessness......
This feeling is like grasping a life-saving straw, how can she be indifferent?
"What do you say about the subordinates of the Qin Palace...... What does that mean? Li Lizhi finally asked, her originally delicate voice a little hoarse because of the long silence.
"First of all, we have to see the essence through the phenomenon...... Luo Taisui paused, consciously speaking too far ahead, so he added: "I mean, we can't be confused by the appearance of things, but should go to the source...... That is, the root cause. ”
"You can tell me what you say, I can understand it." Li Lizhi nodded, not dragging his feet at all.
Luo Taisui felt a little deflated, so he pinched his nose, shook his head and smiled: "The Xuanwumen mutiny, it seems that the King of Qin and the crown prince have fought for the throne, and it has reached the point of life and death, but in fact, it is the King of Qin who is hopeless to the emperor at that time...... It is just an ultimatum given by the current Emperor Taishang. ”
He grabbed Li Lizhen's thoughts tightly with a single sentence.
"Dig deeper, this is the two forces of 'the old man of the previous dynasty' and the 'meritorious upstart', each choosing a leader, taking sides, and holding together, driven by interests, rolling bigger and bigger, and finally evolving into the inevitable result of not being able to solve the contradiction without bloodshed!"
Luo Taisui spoke awkwardly, and Li Lizhen had a hard time listening, but she grasped the key point very smartly......
"The old man of the previous dynasty? Meritorious upstarts? She pondered the meaning of these words, and seemed to understand.
Luo Taisui said eloquently: "My Tang Dynasty has only taken five months since Jinyang started to enter Guanzhong, which largely depends on the skillful political skills of the Emperor Taishang, and the support of the Guanlong Gate Valve and Haoqiang, and the progress is so fast." ”
Then he said: "However, the Emperor Taishang rewarded him all the way, and fully recognized the power of the Guan Longshi clan inherited from the old Sui, which directly led to the interests of the court after the founding of the Tang Dynasty to be carved up by these old remnants of the previous dynasty.
After gaining a firm foothold in Guanzhong, Emperor Taishang appointed the King of Qin to pass through the eastern part of the Guandong region, allowing him to recruit rebels and open the government to govern affairs, with the purpose of absorbing those talents from all over the country that could not be accommodated in the court through the King of Qin.
As a result, two factions representing different interests were formed, and they were clearly distinguished. ”
The so-called remnants of the former dynasty, that is, the old Guanlongshi clan who occupied the court during the Wude period, as well as the civil and military officials who took refuge in the Sui Dynasty, had a strong sense of identity with Li Yuan, who was also a member of the Guanlongshi clan, and was keen to maintain the old power structure.
And the meritorious upstart followed Li Shimin to conquer the city and conquer the city, fighting one battle after another. They have made a lot of achievements, and naturally need a broader stage to display their ambitions.
In this way, one wants to maintain the old legal system, and the other wants to break the old legal system and establish a new order, and contradictions arise from this.
"Then ......," Li Lizhi muttered, "As you said, King Xiyin should have been on the side of the old man of the previous dynasty at that time, right?" ”
"The crown prince is just an accessory of the imperial power, and he doesn't have much choice before inheriting the throne." Luo Taisui nodded and said bluntly: "The reason why he can become King Qin's opponent is only because King Qin still maintains restraint and tries to compete for the crown prince as a prince.
Once there is no hope of seizing the heir, then King Qin only has two left.
The first is to lead the neck to be killed, as for the second way...... You already know. ”
With that, he shrugged.
"Restraint?" Li Lizhi thinks this word is very interesting.
Luo Taisui thought of some thought-provoking remarks he saw on the Internet in the previous world, and he still vividly remembers them now: "King Qin used the Xuanwumen Mutiny to tell the world that he was still capable of launching a mutiny in the palace under extremely weak circumstances.
This meant that he had the ability to organize the killing of the Xiyin King and the Hailing Assassin King under better conditions earlier.
Therefore, King Qin could not only act at that moment in the ninth year of Wude, but he maintained the greatest restraint before! ”
After his words, Li Lizhi suddenly became enlightened, and some entangled veins in her mind gradually became clear.
At the same time, she had a sense of admiration for Luo Taisui from the bottom of her heart.
Because no one has ever been like Luo Taisui, chatting a few words, it has the effect of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, presenting the ins and outs, causes and consequences of a thing in front of her, so that she will not be confused by appearances.
This is called ...... Seeing the essence through the phenomenon?
"So, there are no assumptions in history."
Luo Taisui, as the person who walked into history from "outside history", naturally has an extraordinary vision, and he said slowly: "After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was an imbalance in the distribution of power, which caused the King of Qin to be abnormally large, and there was a hidden tendency to dominate the dynasty......"
"What is a tyranny?" Li Lizhen interrupted him.
Luo Taisui said: "The hegemony, that is, the hegemony, in short, is that the ministers use the convenience of opening the mansion to recruit talents, gradually empty the court, and finally replace it."
Take the Cao family at the end of the Han Dynasty as an example, the name is called Han Wei Chanrang, but in fact, it is a usurpation of the dynasty!
The rest are Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Yan, Gao Huan...... Both. ”
In fact, from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, almost every dynasty changed, and there was a hegemonic dynasty behind it.
As soon as he said this, Li Lizhen immediately understood.
Reading history in his spare time, he knew that the kind of people mentioned by Luo Taisui were extremely ambitious.
When they were still powerful ministers, they deliberately turned their government offices into a small court.
In this small court, they do the things of the Son of Heaven, the prime minister of the world's military and political affairs, once the time is ripe, they can force the Son of Heaven to take the throne, and then copy their own small court to successfully complete the change of dynasty.
"Admiral Tiance, Taiwei, Shang Shuling, Yongzhou Mu, Ling Twelve Wei Generals, Shaanxi East Dao Daxing Tai Shang Shu Ling, Yizhou Dao Xingtai Shang Shu Ling, Puzhou Governor, Zhongshu Ling...... This was the official position held by the King of Qin a year before the Xuanwumen Mutiny. ”
Luo Taisui was like a few treasures, and then said: "There are Shang Shuling, the head of the hundred bureaucrats, and the general who leads the twelve guards, and there is the Daxingtai of Shaanxi Dongdao that controls half of the world, plus the Tiance Mansion where the door is self-established and the generals gather......
With such authority in hand, it is a real power minister in any dynasty! ”
He turned his head, looked at Li Li and said, "As long as King Qin is willing, he can completely build Tiance Mansion into a hegemonic mansion, and then set up a court court...... But he chose restraint.
Counting the reasons, maybe the world is undecided, and the foreign Yi is around, or maybe it also thinks of the righteousness of the monarch and the love of brotherhood......"
At this point he paused, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and seemed to be sighing for something.
Li Lizhen also looked back at Luo Taisui and saw that his expression was focused, especially the eyes that formed an extreme difference from the rough face, which were deep and bright, and people couldn't help but fall into it.
"But the problem is ......" Luo Taisui took a deep breath and said, "Those advisors and generals who follow the King of Qin don't have so many concerns.
They were born and died, and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and their wish was to worship the prime minister and show their ambitions, do you think they will be willing to lie dormant in a prince's mansion as a subordinate?
What's more, Emperor Taishang had already begun to suppress the heroes and cut the power of King Qin at that time! ”
His breath fluttered on Li Li's pretty face, and the latter was immersed in his words, as if unconscious.
Luo Taisui said again: "Once King Qin loses power, where should these subordinates go?"
With such an identity as King Qin and such a world-class martial arts, they are still suppressed by suspicion, how can they talk about a way out?
It's better to oppose his mother and support King Qin as the Son of Heaven!
It has been done, and it has its own merit from the dragon.
If not, the only thing to die is! ”
The only one who is dead......
Such resolute words came out of his mouth in a calm tone, which still made Li Li's heart tremble, and guided her thoughts to the situation and position of King Qin's subordinates in the old days.
No wonder Luo Datou said before that even if King Qin didn't have any intention of getting involved with the throne at that time, the subordinates of King Qin's Mansion would push him to this step.
"King Qin cherishes his feathers, but his subordinates have gambled their lives!
If King Qin doesn't allow it, everyone has to be birds and beasts.
If King Qin allows it, everyone will work together to make a come!
You are the King of Qin, what choice do you make? ”
Luo Taisui asked Li Liqing.
Li Lizhi looked him in the eye and did not speak.
