Chapter 54 Chapter Fifty-Fourth Reading the Mysterious History of the Tao

Li Daoxuan is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, but Shi Wanbao has already stepped into the ranks of middle-aged people. Li Daoxuan is a copy of Li Shimin, and Shi Wanbao is the representative of Xiong Ren.Shi Wanbao was not originally from the Tang Dynasty. He was originally a knight.Shi Wanbao understood current affairs very well. He once greeted Li Yuan in Chang'an with Li Shentong, and also killed Li Mi with Master Sheng Yan.Shi Wanbao felt that he deserved the most credit, and looked down on such a bastard like Li Daoxuan. Li Daoxuan also looked down on such an old slippery man as Shi Wanbao.

On this day, Li Daoxuan led a small group of elite soldiers to seduce Liu Heita, and Liu Heita led his troops to chase after him.At this time, according to the director's shot, it should be that Li Daoxuan had just run away, and when Liu Heitai came, Shi Wanbao led an army of tens of thousands to charge diagonally, killing the enemy directly from the flank.However, Li Daoxuan led the elite soldiers, and his hands were numb from the battle, but no reinforcements came out.Since reinforcements don't come, we have to hold on.During this process, Liu Heitai easily surrounded Li Daoxuan. Shi Wanbao is not coming.

capital offense! Shi Wanbao's confidantes were very anxious when they saw that Shi Wanbao had not acted for a long time, and he was still looking up at the sky at 135° in the posture of recuperation, so they asked him what he thought.Shi Wanbao said to everyone: "This kid gave me all the soldiers in his hand, and I will be in charge of commanding. If the command is good, it is his credit; if the command is not good, it is my mistake. I have to be responsible to you, and I cannot send troops lightly. Besides Now, doesn’t he know that it’s wrong to rush forward? He’s going to die, we can’t follow him, right?… I think it’s just right, we use the little prince (Li Daoxuan) as a bait to lure Liu Heitai. Liu Heitai will definitely Let your guard down, when the time comes for our army to attack, wouldn't it become a good military talk!"

That's nice to say. Li Daoxuan died, he was hacked to death by hundreds of big knives alone, and the rest of the elite were gone.Liu Heikai took advantage of the victory and pursued him. It was only later that he realized that the Tang army had indeed left behind.Liu Heikai didn't know who was responsible for killing him. He only knew that this guy must have overslept and didn't fight when it was time to fight. When his army got excited, it was his turn to be stabbed.As a result, Liu Heita's army rushed forward with great enthusiasm, devouring the entire Tang camp in an instant, and killed Shi Wanbao to the ground.Under Shi Wanbao's command, the 30,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty were killed by Liu Heita without leaving any movement.

Play big. Fortunately, Shi Wanbao did not die. He was too frightened to return to court, and fled to the wilderness, where he was never seen again. Li Shimin was extremely sorry when he learned of Li Daoxuan's death. He said: "Daoxuan fought with me before, and he knows that I like to lead elite soldiers into the hearts of enemies. He wants to imitate me!" The first thing to declare is that this is A real sentence of regret.Li Daoxuan fought dozens of times before and after, and was wounded by bows, arrows and knives many times. The scars all over his body are his most glorious medals.After dozens of battles, Li Daoxuan had no fear of his life.In the end, he was defeated by Shi Wanbao.

If Shi Wanbao is still alive, he must also feel that life is difficult.Under his command, the entire Tang army was wiped out, and the insurgents all over Shandong learned that the Tang army was defeated, and they raised troops to respond to Liu Heita. In November, Li Yuan decided to put Li Yuanji in charge of conquering Liu, but Li Yuanji was afraid and dared not move forward.However, it should be noted that Li Yuanji did not accept orders passively. This time, he proposed to go on the expedition on his own initiative.The reason why Li Yuanji did not dare to fight after submitting the application was because Li Yuanji had other purposes.As Li Shimin's deputy, he has to carry out containment work.The battle still has to be fought, the key is whether you dare or not.Li Yuanji didn't dare to fight, but Li Shimin dared.Li Shimin's daring to fight does not mean that Li Yuan wants him to fight.

When the battle was in full swing, Li Shimin was somehow replaced.The person who replaced Li Shimin was Prince Li Jiancheng. The person who gave Li Jiancheng an idea was Wei Zheng.Wei Zheng waited for a long time, and finally he was keenly aware of the basic activities of Qin Wang Li Shimin, and also collected the news that Liu Heita would run out of food again.He felt that Li Shimin must not be allowed to recruit talents anymore, so he strongly suggested that Li Jiancheng report to Li Yuan.Wei Zheng said to Li Jiancheng: "Although Liu Heitai has come back, he is already at the end of his life. Why don't you ask the emperor to fight, and you will surely make a contribution." Li Jiancheng is a very modest person, and he accepted Wei Zheng's suggestion , together with Li Yuanji, acted as the ambassador to seek thieves.

All Liu Heita's problems are food, food, food.Nothing but no food. In the past two years, there have been wars in the eastern region. The people joined the army and no one grew food.When everyone was most motivated to grow food, it was the short period of time when Liu Heita and the others ran home. Now, it is no longer possible.When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji besieged Changle, Liu Heita's food problem became the most concerned issue again.But as a peace envoy, Li Yuanji is full of confidence in the peaceful resolution of the Liu Heitai issue. Li Yuanji is not good at fighting, and he knows it himself, since he is not good at fighting, let's go to the negotiation head office.Therefore, Li Yuan gave him a letter, saying that this "golden certificate for avoiding death" can exonerate Liu Heita and his followers from all crimes.Li Jiancheng also followed Li Yuanji, but Wei Zheng just poured cold water on him.Wei Zheng said: "This edict is useless. Before, didn't the emperor also issue an edict to exonerate Liu Wenjing? In the end, Liu Wenjing was still dead. So, even if King Qi sent them to their doorsteps one by one with the death-free coupons, they I won’t believe it either. This is His Highness’s chance. Your Highness might as well visit the prisoners in person, untie them, give them condolences, and then send them money to release them all. Think about it, these rebels don’t want to die either. Are you desperately resisting? As long as there is a way to survive, people will definitely go to the way of survival. If His Highness does this, the thieves will naturally collapse."

Li Jiancheng asked: "If you fight, what will happen?" Wei Zheng said: "Fighting is the worst policy of the worst." Li Jiancheng agreed to do so, talking with the captured enemy soldiers, condolences, and dismissing them.The thieves are played by peasants. They revolted because they were afraid that the government would not let them live. Now that the prince has spoken, let's go.So, they all went home to farm.With this walk, the situation then took a 180-degree turn, and some even killed the chief placed by Liu Heita in response to Li Jiancheng. Liu Heitai was afraid. He was afraid that the garrison in Changle City and the army of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji outside the city would attack him back and forth, so he found his military adviser.His military adviser is that Wang Xiaohu.Wang Xiaohu's opinion is very clear, run!So, under the comrade's fanning the flames, everyone fled together in the dark.On the way, Liu Heita's soldiers slipped away as fast as they could, and in an instant they turned into bandits.

The officers and soldiers were in a hurry to hunt down Liu Heita. He was like a sparrow when he was eradicating the four evils.At the end of the run, only a few hundred people were left following Liu Heita.One day, after running for several days and nights, he finally couldn't hold on anymore. He was captured by a city magistrate (state governor), who escorted Liu Heitai to Li Jiancheng.Li Yuan ordered that Liu Shishan be killed and Liu Heita be beheaded.Liu Heita's head was sent to Cheng Mingzhen's home to comfort his dead mother and wife.However, I always think that Liu Heita has no crimes.

Shandong people are real, and this sentence is true.Before his execution, Liu Heita regretted the mistakes he made.Everyone thought he was confessing his rebellion, but no, he complained to the supervisor: "I was farming at home, and I blame Gao Yaxian. If he hadn't told me to come out, I wouldn't have come out!" Well, you can't blame Gao Yaxian, you can blame me if you want to. Wei Zheng's conclusion is correct, Li Yuan's killing Dou Jiande is actually a super bad move.Now, if he kills Liu Heita's remaining party again, it will still be a bad move.One day in Baobuqi, fierce men named Liu Baikai and Wang Xiaohu will appear, face the local governor who refuses to benefit the people, and revolt again, killing tens of thousands of Tang troops.Under Wei Zheng's suggestion, Li Jiancheng successfully recruited the Shandong uprising army, and also expressed condolences to the rest of Liu Heita. Finally, I didn't play the stinky chess to the end. Cow hair, pig hair, chicken feathers, etc. are not enough to describe the variety of battles in the early years of the Tang Dynasty; dismemberment, dissection, and headshots are not enough to describe the tragic battles in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. War is for peace, but the process requires the dead.In the early days of Comrade Yang Guang's administration, the population of the Sui Dynasty was 46 million. This statistical data is about 610 years old.Ten years later, that is, in 620, when Tang Gaozu Comrade Li Yuan was in power, the national population dropped sharply to 15 million.This means that the number of people who died directly or indirectly from the war during this period was 31 million.This figure must be astounding today. The Sasan Persian Empire around 600 AD had a population of 25 million; the whole world had a population of 203 million (203 million). During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was an era of large-scale population reduction in Chinese history.When Li Yuan came to power, the Central Plains finally became a little more peaceful.However, for those who are experts in external fighting and internal fighting, all the competitions have not yet ended, and there is already a new beginning. The first person to act was Qi Wang Li Yuanji. To the enemy, this person is like a big girl raised in a deep boudoir whom no one knows. Xie Li, Liu Heita and others have never seen his face.They were all very curious about Li Yuanji, and when they occasionally heard people talk about him, they would always make some negative comments, such as killing the godmother, stabbing the servants to death, and having a particularly bad personality.But Li Yuanji is a very smart person. When there is a war, he will not say anything if he is not sure of winning the battle, or simply run away; (for example, Qu Tutong). In this way, King Qi's military exploits are justified. Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng are not the same kind of people, but at this time, they formed a united front.The reason naturally has to be found from Li Shimin. If Li Shimin built the Tiance Mansion, if he didn't covet the crown prince, could he give another reasonable explanation?The establishment of the front of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji is due to Li Yuanji, because he is always active in killing people.He expressed his willingness to hang out with his elder brother, and it was his unshirkable responsibility to kill his second brother.However, what made Li Yuanji depressed was that every time he wanted to kill Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng always hesitated. But Li Yuanji couldn't hold back his excitement. This time, he insisted on killing his second child. The crown prince, King Qin, and King Qi each have official duties, so it is difficult to meet each other, and they basically have no feelings for each other.If he insisted that he wanted to contact the long-lost brotherhood, Li Yuan had to forcefully arrange for the three of them to meet.Although Comrade Li Yuan was in his fifties at this time, he was still in good health, and the standard of his health could be seen from the beauties in the harem.His wife, Mrs. Dou, has been away from him for ten years. Now, he no longer has that virtuous wife by his side. They are all women with enchanting appearance. Li Jiancheng knew that if he wanted Li Yuan to hate Li Shimin, he had to let these women speak. Pillow whispers, commonly known as pillow wind.The function of this thing is similar to that of ecstasy soup. Although you know that what you have after pouring it is a hallucination, you will still believe the lie.Since Li Yuan likes many beauties, most of them are not ranked well, so Li Jiancheng specially selected a few of Li Yuan's favorites to contact.Obviously, the connection went very well.It's not because these women have become friends with Li Jiancheng, or have any ulterior motives.They are only thinking about their own future and the future of their children and grandchildren. Li Jiancheng is the future emperor, so help him make some contributions, and his future is limitless. The war is not tight, and several dear friends are often called by Li Yuan to drink together. Everyone is very happy, but Li Shimin himself is not happy.Whenever he saw his father flirting with those enchantresses, he would think of his mother.Li Shimin was unhappy, and his stalemate face became even uglier.Li Yuan had noticed Li Shimin's embarrassing face a long time ago. Although he felt uncomfortable, he was embarrassed to say it.After Li Shimin left, Li Yuan had already forgotten about it, but he couldn't bear the reminding of the beauties. "There is nothing in the world, and the world is peaceful. Yinggeyanyanwu is very festive. At such a moment, King Qin is sitting among us, showing such an ugly face. He is obviously dissatisfied with His Majesty." Li Yuan said cheerfully: "Where there is nothing, the relationship between our father and son is beyond your comprehension." Seeing that Li Yuan was not encouraged, the beauty threw out a killer trick. "The King of Qin has long harbored resentment towards his concubines. After ten thousand years, His Majesty, our mother and son will all be killed by him..." After all, he covered his face and wept.Li Yuan hated seeing a beauty cry the most. When a beauty cried, his heart ached.At this time, the beauty spoke again, and she said: "The Crown Prince is kind and filial. His Majesty entrusted us to him, and we will surely be able to preserve it!" After hearing this, Li Yuan pondered for a long time, and then he strengthened his will not to change the crown prince.Contradictions always arise when they are least obvious. Li Jiancheng has been reluctant to attack Li Shimin for a long time, which annoys Li Yuanji who is standing on the sidelines. One day, Li Yuan took Li Yuanji to Li Shimin's residence to do business.Li Yuanji seized this golden opportunity, so he wanted to send someone to assassinate Li Shimin when he was not paying attention.After the assassination, my father would be furious at most, the prince is still the prince, the king of Qi is still the king of Qi, but the king of Qin meets the king of Hades, this is the best.The assassin hid in Li Shimin's bedroom and was about to act, Li Jiancheng knew it.So shocked, he hurriedly stopped the assassination carefully planned by Li Yuanji.Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuanji: "Brother, you are too much!" Li Yuanji was very angry, he said: "I am doing it for your own good, what has this to do with me! " Li Jiancheng is a soft-hearted person. He is soft-handed and not soft-hearted, but he is still weak after all. In order to protect himself, Li Jian privately raised more than 2,000 strong men from Chang'an and other regions.Privately raising a strong man is a capital offense, not to mention that the emperor is in good health, and you are the current prince. This can easily give people the impression that you have killed your immortal father and become the emperor yourself.The story of Yang Jian and Yang Guang is right in front of us. If Li Yuan finds out about this, Li Jiancheng won't be able to catch up with him.Li Jiancheng is not worried. Since he did this, it must be very secret. The opportunity was still brought by Li Yuan. On this day, Li Yuan went to Renzhi Palace to recuperate, and asked his three sons to come together to enjoy the family happiness.This time, Li Jiancheng took the initiative to find Li Yuanji and let him carry out the murder plan.Li Jiancheng said: "Success or failure depends on one action, and we must take it seriously." Afterwards, Li Jiancheng asked his confidant Yang Wengan to lead the recruited warriors to prepare for operations outside the palace, and asked Lang Jianger Zhuhuan and Xiaowei Qiao Gongshan to take the armor in the treasury. Support to Yang Wenqian.This was all preparatory work before the incident. Li Jiancheng wanted to cooperate with the inside and outside to suffocate Li Shimin in the gourd. Li Jiancheng underestimated Li Shimin too much, Li Shimin is the winner of the world, he will not lose to the prince and King Qi. Li Shimin had countless hidden thunders, and one of the most important ones was Liu Wenjing. Unfortunately, Liu Wenjing was killed by Pei Ji.Now, under Li Jiancheng's activities, his dark mines exploded one by one until Li Jiancheng was blown to pieces. First of all, the two brothers in charge of the armor are Li Shimin's people.They wrote a letter to Li Yuan before they got to the middle of the road, suing the prince Li Jiancheng for treason, and put Li Jiancheng to death.Secondly, Du Feng from Ningzhou is also a member of Li Shimin, and he also wrote a letter saying that Prince Li Jiancheng showed signs of rebellion.In the end, the people from the Literature Museum launched a brainstorming session and worked together to make the whole thing leak-free. Want to kill the second brother, but the second brother is not dead, Li Jiancheng is dying.He wanted to kill Li Shimin, but he was accused of treason. Li Jiancheng was so frightened that he hid in his bedroom and dared not move.He does not move, and some people do not want him to do so.This person is Li Yuan.When Li Yuan learned that Li Jiancheng was going to kill him, he was furious and said that he would kill Li Jiancheng to protect his right to life.Li Yuan really didn't know what to take out his anger, so he sent people to arrest Yang Wenqian, Wei Zheng, Feng Shili and others from the East Palace by throwing dishes and bowls.Later, the decree said to Li Jiancheng who was hiding in a certain palace and dared not move: "Son, Dad is sick, come and see him quickly." Li Jiancheng knew that his father was not sick, and only those who believed in the imperial decree were sick, so he dared not enter the palace to see Li Yuan. what to do?Li Jiancheng asked all the ministers in the sleeping hall.Everyone was silent for a while, and after the silence, a voice sounded: "At this point, we're really going against each other..." Prince Sheren Xu Shimo said so. Xu Shimo: Pei Ji is lonely, brother is lonely! Li Jiancheng: What I created was not rebellion, but loneliness.
