Chapter 141: Foolish Loyalty and Elite Loyalty
Wei Zheng originally thought that Su Qian would mock himself with the matter of "serving the six masters", but he didn't expect Su Qian's evaluation to be very pertinent, and he also said his original intentions, Wei Zheng couldn't help but trust Su Qian even more.
"Loyal Minister. Good ministers? And Guan Yu, who is regarded as a model of loyalty through the ages, fell into a deeply shocked shock at this moment, "Is loyalty also right and wrong?" ”
Even Zhuge Liang, who was standing in the wall of light, couldn't help but fall into contemplation when he saw the difference between "good ministers and loyal ministers" that Wei Zheng said at the end, "Am I a loyal minister or a good minister?" ”
At this moment, an answer from the afterlife was given in the video,
[In my opinion, what Wei Zheng said is very reasonable.
There are two kinds of loyalty: one is foolish loyalty, and the other is pure loyalty.
Foolish loyalty refers to blind loyalty, obedience to superiors or monarchs without thinking and judging.
Ignorant loyalists may ignore morality and conscience in order to maintain so-called loyalty, and even ignore the consideration of the interests of society, the country or the people. They may have too much respect for the Lord's authority and a lack of independent thinking and criticism.
Loyalty, on the other hand, emphasizes rational and wise loyalty.
Loyal people will remain loyal to the monarch or superiors, but they will also use their wisdom and judgment to make prudent suggestions and opinions. They focus on the overall interests of the country, society and the people, and combine loyalty with conscience and morality. 】
"I see! Su Shangshen said it thoroughly! ”
"Listening to your words, it's better than reading for ten years, thank you!"
"I see! No wonder Yue Wumu's mother would stab Yue Wumu on the back with 'loyal to serve the country'! ”
Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang had an understanding.
Guan Yu said even more excitedly: "The eldest brother is determined to restore the Han Dynasty, and has always loved the people like a son, and it should be a combination of 'conscience and morality' for the country, society and the people!" Guan is loyal to the eldest brother, loyal to the Han family, loyal to the people, and is loyal! ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes became more determined, "A certain follow the lord, one is to save the people of Li, the second is to help the Han family to recreate the glory of the Han people, and the third is to display his ambitions and show what he has learned in his life."
I still remember the nursery rhyme, 'Xinye Mu, Uncle Liu Huang, since I came here, the people are abundant'!
The lord is deeply loved by the people and soldiers, and he is the orthodoxy of the Han family recognized by the Son of Heaven. ”
Li Si, the prime minister of the Great Qin Empire, stood in the wall of light and said with a wry smile: "The difference between a certain thought and a lifetime of regret is a lifelong regret!" ”
[In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty (617), Wei Zheng followed Yuan Bao to raise troops, and then followed Yuan Bao to Wagang Li Mi.
Li Mi admired Wei Zheng's talent, but Wei Zheng's ten suggestions to Li Mi on strengthening Wagang were not adopted.
For a talent like Wei Zheng, Li Mi just hopes that he can be a secretary-type auxiliary talent who can carry out orders, but don't teach him to do things. 】
[In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, that is, the first year of Wude, Wang Shichong and Li Mi fought in Cangcheng and Luokou successively.
Li Mi was able to defeat Wang Shichong every time, but he couldn't completely eliminate Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong cowered in Luoyang, and when he found an opportunity, he went up to bite Li Mi.
In the previous battle between Li Mi and Yu Wenhua, the elite of his pro-army had been completely lost in the battle with Yu Wenhua's Xiaoguo Praetorian Guard, which gave Wang Shichong a chance to breathe.
Without the suppression of the elite division, Wang Shichong, who was originally pressed and beaten by Li Mi, now began to bite Li Mi back.
However, Wang Shichong's troops had one of the biggest weaknesses, that is, the lack of food.
Wei Zheng had already seen this, and suggested to Li Mi's subordinate Changshi Zheng Ting, "Deep ditch and high fortress, stick to each other, and consume Wang Shichong." ”
But Wei Zheng was still soft-spoken after all, his suggestion was not adopted, and in the end Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong.
did not follow Wei Zheng's correct advice, the fierce generals led by Li Mi were like clouds, the strategists were like rain, and the strongest rebel army was consumed to death by Wang Shichong, and the fierce generals and ministers under him were all cheaper than Li Shimin in the end. 】
When Yang Guang saw this, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said, "Hehe. Those fierce generals and ministers under your Li second-hand are now going to enter my Yang Guang's arms! ”
[In the same year, Wei Zheng surrendered to Li Yuan with Li Mi, and as a courtier who surrendered, Wei Zheng was also not reused at this time. Li Mi surrendered, and his subordinate Li Shixian
The troops were also stationed in Liyang, and Wei Zheng took the initiative to ask Ying to go and persuade Li Shichang to surrender.
Just when Wei Zheng had successfully persuaded Li Shixian, he would not die, and Dou Jiande of Hebei Province came over again and captured Wei Zheng.
Originally, he came to persuade others to surrender, but he didn't expect to become a prisoner in the end, so Wei Zheng served as a housekeeper under Dou Jiande.
After the failure of Dou Jiande's tiger prison, Wei Zheng surrendered to the Tang Dynasty again, and this time he met the crown prince Li Jiancheng. 】
[Hui Dou Jiande trapped Liyang, was recruited, and worshiped the housekeepers. Jiande was defeated, and Pei Ju entered the pass, and Prince Yin was cited as a horse washer. 】
[Under the crown prince Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng encountered the same embarrassing situation as when he was working under Li Mi.
Li Jiancheng also hopes that Wei Zheng will be a secretary-type talent honestly, and the real decision-making power is not in Wei Zheng. 】
[Among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, most of them couldn't avoid the Xuanwumen Incident, and even many of them made great contributions to the Xuanwumen Incident, so they were listed in Lingyan Pavilion.
Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji and others belong to two camps, each with its own master, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. But in terms of decisiveness and ruthlessness, Li Jiancheng is undoubtedly inferior to Li Shimin.
And it is precisely because of this gap that Li Shimin has the last laugh. 】
[Wei Zheng, as a subordinate official of the crown prince, naturally wants to eradicate potential threats for the prince.
In fact, before Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident, Wei Zheng persuaded the crown prince Li Jiancheng to strike first and kill Li Shimin.
But the crown prince Li Jiancheng couldn't bear to kill Li Shimin, and did not adopt Wei Zheng's suggestion, but he didn't expect to be killed by Li Shimin in the end. 】
When Li Shimin saw this, his heart throbbed involuntarily again.
Li Jiancheng couldn't bear to kill him Li Shimin, but Li Shimin didn't make up his mind, and what you must know is that he, Li Shimin, not only killed Li Jiancheng, but also killed Li Jiancheng's entire family!
Li Shimin clutched his chest, his face twisted into a ball of pain, "Big brother. I'm sorry for you. ”
[Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and the whole family of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.
But he didn't kill the two of them, and even Li Shimin didn't kill Wei Zheng, who wanted to kill him. 】
[It is recorded in "The New Tang Dynasty Book: The Biography of Wei Zheng": The prince was defeated, and the king reprimanded: "Brother Er, what can I do? He replied: 'The prince flea obeys the words and will not die today's calamity. The king is straight, and there is no hatred. ascended the throne, visited the doctor, and was named a male in Julu County.
Li Shimin faced this man who had suggested that he should be killed, but instead of retaliating against him, he promoted and reused him.
And Wei Zheng did not live up to Li Shimin's trust,
After following Li Shimin, he went to Hebei to pacify the prince's old department.
Li Zhi'an, the hidden prince Qianniu, and Li Sixing, the protector of the king of Qi, were released, and they were still appointed to official positions, so that the hearts of the people of Hebei were stable. 】
