Chapter 210 Win by defeat
The so-called Battle of Bird and Rat Valley refers to a war between the Li Tang Dynasty and Liu Wuzhou in the third year of Wude.
In fact, this battle is more pleasant to the people than the Battle of Hulao Pass, and it is more effective in promoting Li Shimin, because this trick is too much more time travel novel, roughly as follows:
Liu Wuzhou had a general named Song Jingang, who was very powerful, and beat the Tang army to the death. So Li Yuan sent Pei Ji, the first person in the dynasty, to lead the three armies to fight him, and almost died. Pei Ji found that he could not defeat him, so he ordered the walls to clear the fields.
What is a solid wall and clearing the world? To put it bluntly, it means burning all the houses in the village, robbing all the grain, moving residents to the city, and not allowing the enemy to replenish supplies. You must know that the battlefield at that time was Hedong! It was the Longxing land of the Li Tang Group, the base camp, and the old nest. Pei Ji was so angry that he was doing such a thing in Hedong. This order made at least tens of thousands of people unable to survive, but in the end... he was defeated again.
Like countless novel plots, at this critical moment of embarrassment, the protagonist appears, and he is Li Shimin ~ Daladala ~ Anyway, after all kinds of particularly hard and legendary battles, Li Shimin defeated less and fought more, and the army was wiped out, successfully saving the new Tang Dynasty.
This is a story that reflects Li Shimin's awesomeness, but why hasn't anyone adapted it? It's mainly to avoid Li Yuan. Pei Ji is actually a pretty good civil servant, but it's not good to fight. This is a bit similar to Changsun Wuji, but who makes people have a good personal relationship with Li Yuan? And the most important thing is that after losing this battle, Pei Ji was not punished, and he was still alone, which is really a little confused.
But Qin Hao doesn't care. Didn't you ask me to save Pei Ji? Then you have to give a little reputation.
In addition, Qin Hao also created a big drama called the Legend of Liu Wenjing. As the name suggests, it talks about the legendary life of Liu Wenjing, the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. It is actually very easy to write according to the way of TV dramas in later generations.
It is generally about a pair of good friends who helped Li Yuan establish the Li Tang Dynasty together. Although he had the greatest contribution, Li Yuan was partial to let his good friend become the prime minister. Later, he turned against his good friend and became enemies. His good friend took revenge in various ways, and finally framed and killed Liu Wenjing, a hero for life.
Needless to say, this good friend is naturally Pei Ji.
Ma Zhou and the others were sweating when they wrote the script. Is this a good idea? This is to kill Pei Sikong, so there is really no need to ask the saint? And the emperor is also here. What if the emperor gets angry? Although the emperor is a retired old man now, he is also the saint's father!
That's right, on the surface, Qin Hao was just trying to punish Pei Ji to death. Not only that, Qin Hao also arranged for Changsun Chong to spread countless bad things about Pei Ji in the market. You know, Pei Ji is also interesting. Once you fight, it won't work, it won't work. It really makes people feel like they are just a corpse. Moreover, he suppressed Li Shimin at that time. Many things really make people grit their teeth when they hear it. If you say that he is a good country, but what is like governing the country is not as intuitive as fighting.
Of course, this is also biased, especially in the case of Liu Wenjing. In fact, the conflict between Pei Xingjian and Liu Wenjing was actually a concentrated reflection of the conflict between Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his father and son. At that time, Li Shimin was already very successful and shocked the master. It was just that the game was too young to play with my son who had never played the old man. This is a fact that anyone with a discerning eye can see, but the common people are not discerning eye. Such a sensitive fact, can you tell that you are looking for death?
When Ma Zhou carried Qin Hao to find Li Shimin, Li Er was in a bad mood.
Didn’t Qin Hao want to help Pei Ji? Why is this crueler than me? After all, he was a founding hero. It’s a bit too bad. Then he patted his thighs and thought it was not good. This is to be killed and die. What Qin Hao wants is just a word of misfortune!
This move was too harmful, and Li Shimin was completely unprepared, and he did the opposite, because the Qin Hao chanting was all about Chen Zhimao and the rotten millet seven or eight years ago, but it successfully aroused public anger. Although it was not what he asked Qin Hao to do, all officials didn't know! If Pei Ji was exiled at this time, what would the civil and military officials think? The rabbit was dead and the fox was sad!
Who hasn't had any black materials in Li Jiancheng's party? The incident happened seven or eight years ago was revealed. Today is Pei Ji, will it be Wei Zheng and Wang Gui tomorrow?
Not only the officials, but even the people are not easy to explain. Although the people are gritting their teeth at Pei Ji now, they want to kill him to vent their anger, but that is because Pei Ji is still alive and still occupies a high position in Sikong.
The people pay attention to killing people but not to blame the ground. For founding heroes like Pei Ji, if they were killed with just a few broken things seven or eight years ago without any storm, will the people feel a little unkind after this time? No matter what, they have helped Li Tang to build such a big country!
Sure enough, the next day, Pei Ji made a very sensible statement and resigned, saying that there was such rumors outside. The public was angry and had no shame to stay in Sikong's seat and eat nothing. He asked the saint to give him mercy and let him resign and live his life in the capital.
What can Li Shimin do? I can only agree! There are few people in the civil and military affairs of the court who knew that he planned to kill people through the case of a demon monk. They all thought that Pei Ji was really implicated by several dramas, but most of them expressed sympathy and regret for him.
This is a big deal. If I insist on exile at this time, it will become a petty person. In the future, the word "Saint Lord" will be lost with me if the secretary of history has written it.
You said that after a while of storm, he was a retired old man. Wouldn't it be even more narrow-minded if I took action?
Li Shimin was so angry, but he had no choice but to kill his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. The battle with Qin Hao was based on tacit understanding. His skills were inferior to others and could not say anything. If he really had a harsh game, he would not have promised Li Yuan not to kill anyone. A thin father-son relationship could no longer withstand the twists and turns, otherwise he would have to leak it.
So, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Ji, a powerful minister who has been in power for ten years, left the stage of history in decline. He bent his waist and hunched his back, and left the gate of the Tai Chi Hall step by step. From then on, he was just an ordinary retired old man.
However, few people know that Pei Ji was happy to be like a bastard after returning home that day. You must know that although he lost his official position, his title and honor are still there. He is a person in his sixties, what's the big deal about retiring?
