Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Gao Zengsheng and Luo Zhi Harm Li Jing

The army was stationed in Dadouba Valley at the junction of Gansu and Qinghai. As soon as the messenger of meritorious deeds arrived, they were greeted with heavy bombardment by brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun.I don't know who gave them so much courage and such a thick skin to beat them back and blame Qibi Heli for all their crimes.The shit pot was mercilessly put on the head of this Turkic general. According to Xue Wanjun, he was the one who advocated pursuing the victory at the beginning, but Qibi Heli stopped the army. Besides, if it wasn't for his two brothers fighting desperately, what ability and qualification would Qibi Heli have to stand in front of the envoy and recount his achievements?

Qibi Heli's most important crime was that he didn't notify Xue Wanjun before marching. He got angry and led the army to the scene ahead of time. For the proud Xue Wanjun, this was really unbearable. In fact, Xue Wanjun strongly advocated the withdrawal of troops, and now he turned his back on him and turned his back on him, which fully proved that he is indeed not a kind person.The envoy understood Xue Wanjun's words, which meant that this battle of complete victory had nothing to do with his Qibi Heli! I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.

The envoy and the other generals were present, and they were almost all pissed off by Xue Wanjun. Qibi Heli went berserk on the spot, furious, pointing at Xue Wanjun and yelling at him.Puzzled by the scolding, he drew out the horizontal knife and wanted to give Xue Wanjun a good time.Seeing that the situation was not going well, General Xue hurriedly hid behind the crowd, looked at the crazy Qibi Heli from a distance, and kept muttering about his grievances.Everyone stopped the crazy lion and wanted to rush over to fight to the death with the villain Qibi Heli. Everyone is a Lianjiazi, three times, five divisions, and two, to settle him down.

The envoy is also a smart person. When he sees that things are difficult to handle, he returns to the court directly. Li Shimin understood the whole process, and knew that this was Xue Wanjun's mischief again, so he was very angry and wanted to abolish this guy who turned black and white.After the generals returned to the court, Li Shimin called Qi Bi He Li to understand the situation.He wanted to find out the details of Xue Wanjun's framing of others from Qibi Heli's description, and he wanted to hear other people's accusations with his own ears. Qibi Heli calmly narrated the whole process, which did not differ from what the envoy said.Li Shimin decided to make the decision for him, and planned to question Xue Wanjun and remove his official title.However, Qibi Heli was not happy, he thanked Li Shimin, but declined:

"However, Your Majesty cannot do this." "why?" Qibi Heli explained: "Your Majesty dismissed Xue Wanjun's official position because of my minister's reasons. I am naturally very grateful to your majesty. But has your majesty ever thought that most of us barbarians are still very ignorant, and they will mistakenly think that your majesty values ​​Hu Hu rather than Han. Besides, although I now Discord with Xue Wanjun, but after all, there is a reason for the incident. If one day Hu people falsely accuse Han officials as a springboard for their promotion, the court's infighting will never stop. Besides, even suing others can have such If you take a big official position, the Hu people will have evil thoughts in their hearts, and they will look down on the Han people, and there will be internal strife, and the country will be uneasy!"

Hehe, is this Qibi Heli? A Turkic who was misunderstood by the Central Plains could be so generous.Li Shimin agreed with him, and in order to show his trust, he asked him to follow him and be responsible for guarding the most important gate of the palace-Xuanwu Gate.In addition, Li Shimin betrothed his niece to this Turkic man.In this way, what was originally a merit-grabbing case has now been successfully transformed into a beautiful thing by Li Shimin. How can it be as expected, but please be worthy of my heart. Many people wondered why Li Jing, as the general manager, didn't say a few words for his trusted Qi Bi He Li?

The answer was that Li Jing couldn't even protect himself. How can he care about others? He was brought to court by Gao Zengsheng, the head of the Yanze Road March of the Tang Army and the governor of Lizhou, on the charge of treason.The news that Li Jing was going to rebel was undoubtedly unreliable in Li Shimin's view.But since someone has questioned it, someone must be sent to investigate.In this way, Dali Temple and the supervisors checked for a few days, but there was no clue at all. According to the law, those who make false accusations against others shall be punished with the crime of falsely accusing others.

Many people wondered Gao Zengsheng's motive for falsely accusing Li Jing. Later, everyone understood that this Gao Zengsheng killed many Tang soldiers because of delaying the military situation.So Li Jing grabbed him and beat him up.Probably because when the military situation was urgent, Gao Zengsheng was playing and stealing food, or he was in a daze. In short, when the emergency was urgent, he was not there.But Gao Zengsheng didn't think he was wrong, on the contrary, it was Li Jing, a bum, who was so strict with himself on purpose. In order to avenge the beating of his buttocks, Gao Zengsheng returned to the court and made up a crime to expose Li Jing's conspiracy.

Those who bite others back will not end well. In the late autumn of the ninth year of Zhenguan (635), Gao Zengsheng was pushed to the guillotine for treason, but because of his meritorious service, he was spared death and was exiled to a barbaric land. Someone persuaded Li Shimin: "Gao Zengsheng is a hero of our Qin Palace, shouldn't we be more lenient to him? Don't let us veterans feel cold!" Li Shimin said: "Gao Zengsheng refused to listen to Li Jing's festival, and falsely accused others of treason. If such crimes can be forgiven because of private affairs, what is the law of the country? Besides, the country has risen from Jinyang to the present. There are so many heroes. If They are all like Gao Zengsheng. In the future, when everyone breaks the law, should I treat everyone equally? In fact, I have deep feelings for those old people who have made contributions, but it is precisely because of this that I dare not forgive them!"

Life is such a disappointment. After being falsely accused, Li Jing returned home and thanked guests behind closed doors. He stays at home, and even relatives rarely see him.Li Shimin felt very sorry for him, and wanted him to stay in the court, at least, wear everyday clothes, come and go as he went, even as a special agent.But Li Jing refused, the reason being that he was too old and too busy. Li Shimin felt a little desolate, always looking for an opportunity to say something, but talking too much, what problem can it solve?This time, Tuyuhun was destroyed, and Li Shimin rewarded Li Jing heavily, but it was after this battle that Li Jing disappeared from everyone's sight.It is the most sensible choice for Li Jing to make people forget quietly.

It's time for Xue Wanjun. Xue Wanjun was a stingy person. After returning to the court, although he was punished, he was valued by Li Shimin because of his great contributions.His fate seemed to be coming to an end. On that day, Li Shimin was going to visit the Furong Garden, and Xue Wanjun was in charge of supervising and cleaning up irrelevant people.When the holy driver arrived, Li Shimin started to play, but found that the eunuchs and maids were wandering around the yard, not taking him seriously at all. In a fit of rage, he was sent to Xue Wanjun's prison. Xue Wanjun was short-tempered, and this matter made him extremely angry, and he died of anger within a few days. Xue Wanjun's death surprised the ministers, Li Shimin was also taken aback, and asked Xue Wanjun to be buried in Zhaoling. Later, at a banquet, Li Shimin rewarded the officials, and when he called Xue Wanche (Xue Wanjun's younger brother), he habitually called "Xue Wanjun".So he said with emotion, this is Xue Wanjun who has a spirit in heaven, and he also wants to ask me for this reward.Li Shimin ordered the tapir skin to be burned and gave it to Xue Wanjun. In recent days, Li Shimin's mental state has been very poor. It has been several months since Li Yuan passed away. After Li Shimin delivered Li Yuan's funeral, Tuyuhun started to provoke him. During these few months, his temper has not been very good.Moreover, after Li Jing lived in seclusion, it seemed that Li Shimin could no longer find a confidant who could talk about the art of war. At the end of September in the ninth year of Zhenguan (635), Li Shimin, who was extremely emaciated, wanted to go to Li Yuan's garden mausoleum to pay homage by himself, but was dissuaded by everyone even with such a small request.Among the ministers, there are many direct ministers like Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou who dare to poke Li Shimin's backbone. They all disagree with Li Shimin crying for Li Yuan, because now Li Shimin is skinny and skinny, so thin that only a pair of bones are left. Alas, for a person who has been ashamed of his father all his life, must he suffer so much? Maybe! When I was young, I always felt that my father was a cow and a mountain, and there would never be a day when it would fall down.When we grow up, only the noisy world and vanity achievements accompany us. The mountains are high and the road is far away, but we can no longer wait for the original feeling.In Li Yuan's eyes, Li Shimin will always be a child, what's wrong with a child, is it worth remembering so much?The ministers knew that Li Shimin wanted to go to Yuanling and cry alone, and cry happily for a few days. But this will not work. "Your Majesty, adjust your state, there are still many things waiting for us!" In the first month of the tenth year of Zhenguan (636), Li Shimin, who had just experienced his father's funeral, ushered in the parting of his children.They are either Li Shimin's flesh and blood, or Li Shimin's brothers, and now they are assigned to be kings everywhere.Prince, absolutely not, or most of them can't stay in the capital, what should go must go.Prior to this, Li Shimin made corresponding changes to their titles: Zhao Wang Li Yuanjing is Jing Wang; Li Yuanchang, king of Lu, was king of Han; Zheng Wang Li Yuanli is Xu Wang; Li Yuanjia, the king of Xu, is the king of Han; Jing Wang Li Yuan was Peng Wang; Teng Wang Li Yuanyi is Zheng Wang; Wu Wang Li Yuangui is Huo Wang; Li Yuanfeng, the king of Bin, was the king of Guo; Chen Wang Li Yuanqing is the Taoist king; Li Lingkui, king of Wei, was king of Yan; Li Ke, king of Shu, was king of Wu; Li Tai, king of Yue, was king of Wei; Li You, king of Yan, was king of Qi; Li Min, king of Liang, was king of Shu; Li Yun, king of Tan, became king of Jiang; Li Zhen, king of Han, was king of Yue; Li Shen, the king of Shen, was the king of Ji. In February of the tenth year of Zhenguan (636), he appointed: Li Yuanjing was the governor of Jingzhou; Li Yuanchang was the governor of Liangzhou; Li Yuanli was the governor of Xuzhou; Li Yuanjia was the governor of Luzhou; Li Yuan was the governor of Suizhou; Li Lingkui was the governor of Youzhou; Li Ke was the governor of Tanzhou; Li Tai is the governor of Xiangzhou; Li You was the governor of Qizhou; Li Yin was the governor of Yizhou; Li Yun was the governor of Anzhou; Li Zhen was the governor of Yangzhou. The above changes have caused many stories, and many stories have changed history, let us slowly appreciate them one by one. The kings were about to embark on their journeys to their respective fiefdoms. When they bid farewell, Li Shimin called them together, "Your brotherhood is deep and righteous. I know that you all want to stay in the capital for a while. But a man must put the world first, and don't be lingering in the world." The love of sons and daughters. You can still have sons and daughters, but you can't have brothers again. They love each other and don't repeat the same mistakes!" After speaking, weeping and distressing, the tears continued. The children were also obedient, and after saying goodbye to Li Shimin, they reluctantly took office. For Li Chengqian, the departure of others is undoubtedly something worth celebrating. But one thing was beyond everyone's expectations, Li Shimin's fourth son, Wei Wang Li Tai was left behind.Li Shimin liked this Li Tai very much. After bidding farewell to the other children, he couldn't help but order Zhang Liang, the doctor of Jinzi Guanglu, to replace Li Tai as the governor of Xiangzhou.Only when Li Tai stayed, did Li Shimin feel that life was a bit more enjoyable. After all, this child was his and his maid's favorite. Li Tai's mother is a gentle, virtuous, and quite charming eldest grandson queen. In him, the essence of heaven and earth is gathered, and the light of sun and moon is gathered.Therefore, Li Tai has the sharpness of Li Shimin and the gentleness of Guanyin's maidservant, and more importantly, this child has inherited the intelligence and wisdom of the two. You must think that Li Tai is a suave and handsome guy, but you are completely wrong.Li Tai's body shape is nothing like his parents.Since he was a child, he seemed to have been with his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji. He was extremely fat, with a big butt and a round waist. He was a heavyweight player.Apart from his pretty face, this child can only say that he is sorry for the audience, especially his belly, which looks like a pregnant woman.Therefore, I solemnly declare that from now on, Li Tai's nickname will be Li Sipang, which fits his identity very well. Li Shimin likes this chubby son very much, and Li Sipang is indeed very attractive. Li Shimin himself couldn't detect what he did wrong, but the ministers could see it clearly. Li Chengqian is a cripple with a weird temper, and likes to make some messy non-mainstream outfits.But Li Tai is not the case. He uses his fat hands to flip through a large number of ancient books every day, and he can write poems, play the piano, and sing.Li Tai loves calligraphy and painting, imitating Wei and Jin copybooks was a masterpiece at that time, and his painting skills were also superb, with unique brushwork.He has a wide range of friends and interests, especially when everyone sees Li Sipang's chubby hands, he really has the urge to go up and take a bite. When the kings moved out, Li Tai had just turned eighteen, but was accidentally left in the capital. Li Shimin and Guanyin's maid gave Li Tai a nickname, "Qingque", which means Qingque is the messenger of love. Among Li Shimin's dozens of sons, Li Sipang "favors all the kings". A prince who is not a prince is favored so much, one can imagine what will happen in the future.However, everyone loses their reason for the things they like, why can't the emperor? This is the maidservant's best child, and this is Li Shimin's favorite.Because of his excellent writing, Li Shimin specially issued an edict ordering Li Sipang to build a literary museum in the palace to attract scholars from all walks of life.The four fat classmates did not disgrace their father's will, and really started a literary career in Xijing with great fanfare.Li Shimin felt a rare sense of relief that Si Fatty's literary museum was in good shape.But Li Shimin's life is miserable, and God can't allow him to comfort him for a moment. With the establishment of the Literature Museum, another sadness hit him. Wei Zheng is about to resign. According to the history books, Wei Zheng had an eye disease, probably a cataract or something. Anyway, the older he was, the worse his eyesight became. He had already resigned many times. Li Shimin refused, and later Wei Zheng gave in, thinking that it would be best to be reduced to a dismissed official, but Li Shimin still disagreed.Wei Zheng's request became more and more vigorous, but he couldn't resist him, so Li Shimin had to enlist him as a special advancer.The death of his father, the separation of his brothers and children, and the resignation of the virtuous officials dealt a great blow to Li Shimin. Don't agree? Time is not forgiving, why bother? Li Jing: Which sentence do you think describes a person's appearance most cruelly? Li Tai: Just look at you, look at the back, frightening thousands of troops, turning your head to scare away millions of soldiers! Li Yuanji: Hello everyone!
