Chapter 298 Rigid and self-serving
Liu Bang: I don't think it's that simple, this eldest grandson Wuji may have an ulterior purpose, Li Zhi is a wilting head, he is dead, I can control him and monopolize power.
"I talked about this question before, maybe my guess is not wrong, so don't you know what the result will be?"
"After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he obeyed the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and with the help of the eldest grandson Wuji, he killed Li Ke on trumped-up charges of treason, and exiled Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, who had made an expedition to Goguryeo."
Speaking of Li Ke's "rebellion", it is unnecessary, and you can think of it with your heels: if you want to rebel, how could Li Ke and Li Daozong, who have heavy troops, become followers of Fang Yiai? ”
"If you want to rebel, you will be the emperor yourself, how can there be a rebellion surnamed Li who wants to make the surname Fang the emperor? This is clearly the eldest grandson Wuji's fabrication of charges and cutting off dissidents. ”
As a pro-government adult, Li Zhi was the last decision-maker to kill people, a spicy child wilted radish - deceived the throne with the disguise of benevolence and filial piety, and turned his head and put the "little mother" Wu Zetian in the room. ”
"He also strangled Li Ke, who might compete with him for the throne, and even Li Tai, the king of Wei, who also had a hope of succeeding to the throne, died inexplicably in a remote feudal town when he was in his thirties."
I don't know if there are Li Zhi's hands and feet in this, anyway, in the third year of Li Zhi's accession to the throne, Li Tai was "killed". ”
"Even the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest uncle who desperately helped him keep the throne and wanted to monopolize the power, Li Zhi did not let go, together with his wife Wu Zetian, he was forced to hang himself, all the family property was confiscated, and all the family members were exiled to Lingnan, and went to be a companion with Li Daozong, who was wronged by the eldest grandson Wuji."
Cao Cao: Tut-tut! Taizong's hobby is widely inherited!
Li Longji: Hahahahaha, ga!!
Wu Zetian: ......
Zhao Kuangyin: No, what are you laughing at, isn't this including you?
Li Longji: 。。。。。
Yang Guang: Spicy carrot, is this dish delicious? Go back and let the imperial chef try to make it, eat some every day, it should be very refreshing!
Zhang Fei: Cao Thief has wronged you a little, you are still far from the Tang Dynasty!
Liu Bei: Third brother, do you think Cao Thief has done a good job?
Zhang Fei: Big brother, how can I have, don't you think that Cao Thief is a good wife, and no one else has a flower to play with in the Tang Dynasty? This is really an eye-opener for me, it's good to be the emperor, can you still play like this?
Cao Cao: Haha! This big coarse has made me happy, indeed, it can't be compared! Can't compare!
"Emperor Taizong has no way to teach his sons, and he is definitely not just a few."
Tang Taizong Li Shimin had fourteen sons, but only Li Zhi and the incompetent Li Fu lived to old age, and the other twelve sons either died early, or were killed by Tang Taizong himself, and those who escaped Li Shimin's butcher's knife could not stop Li Zhi and Wu Zetian from "mending the knife". ”
"Li Chengqian won't talk about it if he doesn't succeed, Li Shimin also taught another bad boy, Li You, the king of Chu."
"These five princes fooled around with hooligans all day long, and also assassinated Changshi Quan Wanji, who was responsible for teaching, and finally developed to the point of rebelling against Lao Tzu, and ended up following in the footsteps of his uncle and another Qi king, Li Yuanji."
"The old six Liang King Li Su is not a good thing, he knows all day long that he goes to the common people's crops to hunt, even Li Shimin feels that his son is a "beast", and later the eldest grandson Wuji exiled him to death through the "Fang Widow Love Rebellion Case". ”
"The youngest fourteenth Cao Wang Li Ming, it is said that in the later years of Tang Taizong, he actually colluded with the common people to rebel, was demoted out of the capital, and was forced to death by the derogatory governor, "colluding with the common people to rebel", what a strange crime. ”
"Although the remaining old Qitan King Li Yun used his indulgence to show that he had no ambition, he was still falsely accused of rebellion and had to commit suicide to save his family."
"Zhenguan five years, sealed, ten years, changed the title of King Jiang, the governor of Anzhou, indulged in pleasure, so that the state and county could not bear the work, the first year of Tang Gaozong, someone falsely accused Li Yun of rebellion, fear of suicide."
"Li Zhen, the old king of the Eighth Han Dynasty who really raised troops to resist Wu Zetian, and Li Shen, the old king of the tenth era who didn't dare to resist, were all killed by Wu Zetian mercilessly!"
"Lao Jiu is Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, in fact, the Tang Dynasty has existed in name only in his hands, and the Tang Dynasty has also become the Great Zhou, if it weren't for Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Sansi Wu Chenghei was too uncompetitive, if it wasn't for Di Renjie laying the foreshadowing in advance, he finally killed Zhuwu and Erzhang and recaptured the Li family, then since Li Zhi, there will be no Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of Qin Sui and die in the second......"
"As for Li Zhi's handing over the government to Wu Zetian in the end, I definitely don't think it's wrong, because Wu Zetian was originally a capable person."
Li Shimin: Only my own injured world has been achieved!
"The third mistake is to be stubborn and self-serving, it is you who appoint the talent, and it is also you Tang Taizong who kills loyal ministers."
"Tang Taizong was no exception in his later years, making the mistakes made by most emperors, such as great joy, self-righteousness, extravagance, immortality, superstition, arrogance and indulgence."
Everyone knows Li Shimin's famous saying: "With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; With the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. ””
In the early days, Li Shimin did this, he was "afraid of people and did not speak, and guided them to admonish", and "was shocked when he heard the good", "he was happy when he heard it", but only in the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's thinking of "those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die" began to rise. ”
He "dislikes people's advice" and "gradually speaks outright", and sometimes although he reluctantly listens to it, "his will is not fair in the end, and it is difficult to forgive." ””
In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin even directly warned everyone in order to prevent the ministers from admonishing him: "If you don't do this, it will be inconvenient for me." ”
In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, the admonisher Liu Xun was arrested for the crime of "plotting to hold the balance" and was forced to commit suicide just because he said Li Shimin's heartfelt words behind his back, "The situation is like this, and the holy bow is worrying". ”
"This person is as famous as Wei Zheng, and he is also a minister who dares to admonish, but he was given death by Li Shimin, and he was not rehabilitated until the Wu Zetian period."
"In his later years, Li Shimin's suspicion of ministers became more and more serious, and he was often asked for guilt, and he was degraded at the least, and even Wei Chi Jingde and other meritorious heroes were suspicious."
In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was ready to personally conquer Liaodong, and Wei Chi Jingde, who had retired at that time, wrote to persuade him: "Your Majesty will personally conquer, Chang'an and Luoyang will be empty-hearted, and I am afraid that there will be a change in Yang Xuan's senses." ”
Li Shimin not only did not listen, but suspected that he had different intentions, and ordered the 61-year-old Wei Chigong to go into battle and go with him.
"Facing Li Shimin in his later years, even if he is a character of Fang Xuanling's level, seeing him is like a mouse seeing a cat."
Once he was almost killed by Li Shimin because of his persuasion of Li Shimin, and in the end it was Empress Changsun who intervened to escape, so that Fang Xuanling said sadly when he was dying: "Now no one in the court dares to offend Yan Zhizhi!" ””
