The art of war is cloudy, know yourself and know the enemy, in order to survive a hundred battles.

Li Shimin has always felt that he has always done a good job of the word confidant.

For example, in the war to pacify the world before the opening of the Tang Dynasty, many people under his command persuaded him not to risk his life, but of course he did not listen.

As a result, when the battle to pacify the world was over, six of his mounts died on the battlefield one after another, and he was not seriously injured once.

likes to be in danger but not in danger, this is Du Ruhui's evaluation of his military formation when he was chatting before.

Li Shimin is quite proud of this.

After all, it may be luck to win a risk.

The fact that you can still have the last laugh after every risk can only show that Admiral Tiance has indeed done it to know himself and his opponent.

And the same is true in governing the country, if you can temporarily endure the humiliation of Weishui, and if you can recuperate, you can recuperate and swallow locusts to set an example for the people.

But through the narration of his juniors, he gradually saw how much failure he had failed in educating his son.

Wei Zheng endured it, but finally said:

"Your Majesty, there is a reason for the father and son to disagree with each other, or because the master taught me to be right, but the master did not come out of righteousness."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui suddenly looked sideways, and they had a new understanding of Wei Zheng's neck hardness, can this really be said in person?

The allusion itself is quite normal, from the dialogue between Mencius and Gongsun Chou, and the content of the conversation is about Yizi's teaching.

The "positive" should be interpreted as a strict standard, that is, if the father strictly educates the son, the son will definitely complain:

Daddy, you ask me this and that, but Daddy, you don't set an example yourself.

But when this sentence came out at this time, it was too harsh.

After all, as we all know, the root of Xuanwumen is just two words, prince.

So what is the prince? It is also "out of righteousness".

Therefore, this sentence is simply a pun, not only accusing Li Shimin of not setting a good example for the prince, but also alluding to the fact that Xuanwumen gave Li Tang's latecomers a bad name.

Linked to Wei Zheng's background, even though Du Ruhui believed in His Majesty's bearing, he instinctively sweated for Wei Zheng's head.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin's face turned three points pale.

Unexpectedly, there was no anger on his pale face.

In the end, Li Shimin sighed faintly, and instead of looking at Wei Zheng who was holding his neck, he faced the Tang Territory next to him and said:

"To be able to seek the well-being of all people is the righteousness of the Son of Heaven."

Wei Zheng groaned for a moment and nodded, to Du Ruhan's relief, Wei Zheng didn't dwell too much on this, nodded and continued

"Mencius also said that if father and son do not blame the good, the good will leave."

"Your Majesty was suspected of seeking full responsibility for the crown prince before."

Li Shimin sighed in his heart, he had also read this chapter of Mencius, but he never thought that it would be so perfectly fulfilled in himself.

Mencius believed that it was not appropriate to mix the relationship between father and son, because if he was a master, he would inevitably blame the student.

But in this way, it is inevitable that the father will be angry and resentful, and then the centrifugation, and eventually the father will not become the father, and the master and the son will not become the master.

After a deep groan, Li Shimin said slowly:

"Xuancheng will dine with me in the palace today."

Wei Zheng arched his hand, knowing in his heart that His Majesty was probably going to talk to him about the prince's education.

As for this Liu Renyuan, Wei Zheng won't say much, after all, this person has not yet entered the ranks, and I believe that His Majesty will be properly reused now that he knows it.

And the failure of the Gojong dynasty to manage the Korean Peninsula will also become a reference for the imperial court to conquer the Korean Peninsula in the future.

All of the above are things that are on the surface, and Wei Zheng is very interested and feels that this kind of problem does not need to be repeated.

[However, Liu Renyuan is not the only one who has done a good job on the Korean Peninsula but is not in the annals of history.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, the war did not end completely, because there were still remnants of forces fighting guerrilla warfare with the Tang army in the old land of Goguryeo.

And here comes the interesting thing, you say that Gojong is shrewd, he single-handedly contributed to the complete confinement of the Xiongjin Governor's Office, providing an opportunity for Silla to take advantage of.

But you say that Gaozong is mediocre, he will hesitate when he is involved in a war, if you only talk about diplomatic means, it is enough to break hands with Erfeng.

After the defeat of Dafeichuan, while having a headache for Tibet, Gaozong was also keenly aware of the unusual atmosphere on the Korean Peninsula:

The remnants of Goguryeo are in turmoil, and Silla is also ready to move, is the next step to contact the Japanese state to flank the Tang army again?

At this time, the Tang Dynasty did not have much money, and it was difficult to support a labor expedition, so Gaozong found another way, summoned Guo Wuyi, and ordered him to send an envoy to the Wa Kingdom.

It was not the first time that Guo Wuyi had sent an envoy to the Wa Kingdom, and after the Battle of Baijiangkou, Li Zhi was trying to create the status of the leading big brother of the Tang Dynasty, and sent Guo Wuyi to the Wa State.

It's just that after the Battle of Baijiang Village, the Wa Kingdom was completely frightened, thinking that the Tang Dynasty would definitely come to destroy the country, so they refused.

Now in the face of the possibility of another wave in Haidong, Li Zhi also made a ruthless move, and when the financial endowment was not optimistic, he allocated 2,000 men and 47 warships to Guo Wuyi, and ordered him to succeed in the envoy to the Wa Kingdom.

This kind of behavior is the standard writing of peace envoys, which is read as deterrence by force.

Guo Wuyi also understood very well, and learned the lesson of being rejected by the Japanese State last time, and after leading the fleet to Tsushima Island, he first sent a small boat to the Japanese State to inform him.

We don't know the content of the notice, but the record in the annals of the Wa Kingdom is "asking to come to the court", which shows that Guo Wuyi's attitude is really not very good, and he scared the Wa State enough.

After informing him that it was not a battle, Guo Wuyi ignored the reaction of the Japanese state, and forcibly drove the fleet to the vicinity of Bizhi Island, knocking on the door of the Japanese state.

The next thing is very intriguing, a month after Guo Wuyi arrived in the Japanese Kingdom, Emperor Tianzhi died, and then Guo Wuyi and his party stopped and did not leave.

It was not until the end of May of the following year that Guo Wuyi received 1,673 horses, 2,852 ends of cloth, and 666 catties of silk from the Wa Guoqi (Yin Tongshi), and then the group patted their butts and drove back reluctantly.

In the history of the Wa Kingdom itself, the goods given to Guo Wuyi were called "pouring", and the silk was the silk of the Wa State itself, and at that time it was similar to the money and silk of the Han Dynasty, and this silk could be directly consumed in the Wa Kingdom.

In contrast, the Japanese tried to enter the Korean Peninsula cautiously again, and did everything possible to entrap the Bohai State, and the most generous gift was 70 horses, compared with the more than 1,600 horses that Guo Wuyi took away, it is difficult not to suspect that this is all the inventory of the Japanese treasury.

The above are all records belonging to the old and new Tang books, and if they are related to the history of the Wa Kingdom itself, this matter becomes particularly interesting. 】

Li Shimin's brows widened, and a little smile appeared on his face again.

Wei Zheng was a little unpredictable:

"This act...... It seems to be too domineering. ”

"Beasts, how can you be domineering?"

Li Shimin retorted with a smile and shook his head:

"I have studied the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, I don't know loyalty, I have read my Chinese classics for more than a thousand years, and I don't know etiquette."

"Birds and beasts are crowned by monkeys, how can we talk about virtue?"

As soon as Li Shimin opened his mouth, he pulled Wei Zheng's attention over, and immediately wanted to argue with the emperor.

"What's more." Li Shimin said unhurriedly:

"This later generation of the Wa Kingdom entered the land of China to carry out aggression, and this generation repaid the Sui and Tang Dynasties for their enlightenment?"

Speaking of the future generations, Wei Zheng was speechless, after all, if it was really a vassal of the vassal state, then there was something to say, but when it came to the crimes of the later generations of the Japanese state, then Wei Zheng couldn't say anything for them.

What's more, it is the juniors in this curtain of light who have accused the crimes of this Japanese nation.

One is the Chinese descendants who are full of affection for their ancestors.

One is a wolf with ambition, who was favored by the Sui and Tang dynasties but did unrighteous deeds and had no trust.

Wei Zheng naturally knew how to choose, so he didn't speak anymore, but then he looked at the changes in the situation in the Japanese country behind, and he also frowned:

"If this Guo Wuyi really behaves like this...... It's really inappropriate. ”

Wei Zheng never concealed his royal political opinions.

What is the royal road? Unbiased and non-party, the royal road is swinging.

Mencius expounded this most clearly, and to sum it up, it is that the court can rule the Qing Dynasty, and the people know the etiquette of honor and disgrace.

The core foundation of this proposition is to rule the world with benevolence and righteousness.

And if this Guo Wuyi happened to encounter this incident, Wei Zheng would not say anything, but if he really took the initiative to intervene, then Wei Zheng felt that this move seemed to violate benevolence and righteousness.

Before Li Shimin could say anything, Li Jing shook his head and objected:

"I thought it was the right thing to do."

"Taking its wealth is enough to benefit the people of our Tang Dynasty, and sweeping its land can settle the frontier of our Tang Dynasty, and these two can also be described as benevolent to the people of my Tang Dynasty."

"What's more......" Li Jing said, his eyes narrowed slightly, as sharp as an eagle falcon:

"The remnants of Goguryeo and Silla, the two have the meaning of uniting the Japanese kingdom, and later generations will also know that it is indeed true."

"It is unrighteous to know but not report, even so, my Tang envoy forcibly knocked on the door of his country, deterred his small heart, in order to eliminate the scourge of the sword soldiers of the Japanese country, which can be described as benevolent."

For a while, Li Jing and Wei Zheng were-for-tat, and neither was convinced.

However, Li Shimin on the side remembered the brotherly alliance between the Liao and Song Kingdoms.

From this point of view, what Guo Wuwei collected should also be regarded as the reparation for the defeat of the Japanese State, right?

As soon as the thought was opened, Li Shimin said leisurely:

"If it weren't for the Japanese state, how could there be so many incidents in this Baekje?"

"Without the many incidents of Baekje, it is impossible to say that Goguryeo could have been conquered years in advance."

"In the past few years, the people have died of labor, the money has been lost, and the soldiers have pensions, which are enough to have hundreds of millions of dollars, so the compensation is not a penny, how can it be unkind?"

Li Jing was stunned for a moment and then reacted, and couldn't help but stroke his palms and laugh, loudly praising His Majesty's kindness!

Wei Zheng, on the other hand, frowned, always feeling that something seemed to be wrong.

"And ......," Li Shimin said unhurriedly:

"The death of this king is because his thief is weak-hearted, afraid of the power of the Tang army, and died in fear, what does it have to do with my Tang envoy?"

[According to the historical records of the Wa State itself, not long after Guo Wuyi arrived in the Wa State, it happened to coincide with the Renshen Rebellion of the Wa State.

To put it bluntly, this matter is not complicated, and the defeat in the Battle of Shiraekou led to a decline in the prestige of Emperor Tenchi.

Under these circumstances, Emperor Tenchi's younger brother, the Umito Emperor, gained more political discourse, and was eventually made the Togu Prince, or crown prince, in 668.

And shortly after Guo Wuyi arrived in the Wa Kingdom, the seriously ill Emperor Tenchi announced a new appointment:

He appointed his son, Prince Otomo, as the Minister of Imperial Affairs, a position that is basically equivalent to that of Prime Minister or Prime Minister.

As a result, the sea people, who were the crown prince, were hollowed out in terms of political power, but Emperor Tenchi was still not at ease, and summoned the prince to the bed to explain:

I'm dying, and I'm going to give up the throne to you.

Emperor Tenchi was originally a master of power struggles, and he has experienced a lot of experience in a hundred battles after the rebellion of the ancients' eldest brother and prince, the Soga Ishikawa Maro incident, and the change of the prince of Arima.

In this case, the people of the sea were very sensible, took the initiative to resign, and elected Xiangguo, that is, the son of Emperor Tenchi, Prince Otomo, as the crown prince, and became a monk in order to avoid suspicion.

After Emperor Tenchi died, Prince Otomo, who succeeded to the throne, did not intend to let go of his own uncle.

The conflict eventually turned into a real war of arms and guns, and the final result was that the opposition sea people won, completely defeating Otomo, who held the government army, and forcing his own nephew to hang himself.

And after the victory of the prince of the sea, Guo Wuyi patted his ass and returned to China, waved his sleeves, and took away a lot of wealth with the ship.

There were not many rebellions in the history of the Japanese state, but very few rebels were able to overthrow the central army, so this civil strife is very intriguing, and we have no way of knowing what role Guo Wuyi played in it.

After ascending the throne, the people of the sea were called Emperor Tenmu, and once again promoted the reform of the Tang Dynasty, and officially began to study the Tang Dynasty from the inside out.

Emperor Tenmu was also the first emperor in the history of the Wa Kingdom to learn the Tang Dynasty's use of era names, and officially abolished the Wa Kingdom's own calendar and replaced it with the Tang Dynasty's Yuanjia calendar.

And the ending of Emperor Tenmu is also very Tang charm: after his death, his niece and empress became the third female emperor in the history of the Wa Kingdom, that is, the emperor of the reign of the emperor after a power struggle.

After reigning for seven years, Emperor Jitong abdicated his grandson and became the first emperor of the Wa Kingdom, and held power with his grandson in charge of government affairs.

This is a brotherly dispute, the queen is called the emperor, the two saints are in the dynasty, and finally the government is returned to the dynasty, and the emperor system and so on.

It's hard not to think of Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi, Wu Zetian, Li Zhi and other characters, it can only be said that they are too similar.

However, it is a pity that the Central Plains Dynasty has never been interested in the sea, so the name of Guo Wuyi, who may have changed the history of the Wa Kingdom, is not found in the old and new Tang books, but only in the national history of the Wa Kingdom.

There are also people who believe that Guo Wuyi is the general of the Tang Army in the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, and this entry into the Japanese Kingdom to fight the autumn wind is his temporary intention.

However, according to the historical records of the Wa Kingdom, Guo Wuyi brought a national letter with him when he entered the Wa Dynasty, and the beginning of this national letter made the Japanese people very uncomfortable, because the beginning was written by Li Zhidala:

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty respectfully asks the Wawang Yunyun"

The Wa Kingdom was later ashamed, after all, they had already proclaimed themselves emperor when they presented their credentials to Guangshen, and as a result, they were demoted to the position of Wa King by Li Zhi, and there were many complaints about this.

Since he carried the national letter, it can be seen that Guo Wuyi was the envoy appointed by Li Zhizheng's Eight Classics, and his style was also quite Tang Dynasty style. 】

In the Bianliang Imperial Garden, Zhao Guangyi, who lowered his head and focused on the light curtain, felt that the hairs on his neck stood up.

You don't have to look up to know that the elder brother must be looking at himself with a sharp gaze at this time.

And thinking of the jade axe pinned to his brother's waist, Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but feel confused.

The LOL work has come to an end for the time being, and I am waiting for Saturday's finals, and I have slacked off after four days of hard work, and tomorrow will be as usual.
