Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 651 If you can't keep up with the times, you can only be eliminated

Of course Wei Zheng knew that the reason why the prince refuted his remonstrance and confronted him was to remind him to cherish himself and cherish his blessings, and not to be confused as before about what to say and what not to say.

That's right, his guess was right at all, Li Chengqian really thought so, if Du Ruhui wasn't in front of civil and military officials today, he could discuss whatever he wanted. Diplomacy is the same as going to the West Market to buy things, bargaining.

But it's different now. In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the majestic Tian Khan wants to discuss such a small country. Isn't this a loss of statehood?The national prestige created by my Tang army's bloody battles will also be completely lost, making all countries in the world underestimate.Discuss, discuss ass, this is the way of concubines.

"His Royal Highness, it is right to suppress the bandits to keep one side safe, but this will inevitably cause a chain reaction, and the Liaodong Peninsula may resume war. The fiasco of the former Sui Dynasty in Liaodong is just around the corner. Many generals in the court have experienced that. The tragic battle, the old minister still hopes that you think twice before acting!"

Regarding Wei Zheng's words, Li Chengqian couldn't help shaking his head. When it comes to life experience, ups and downs in the official career, and bearing humiliation, he is indeed not as good as Wei Zheng.But when it comes to commanding troops and fighting for thousands of miles, except for Li Jing and other veteran generals in the court, Li Chengqian felt that he would not lose to anyone, so he just laughed at Wei Zheng's words.

"Wei Xiang, leading troops to fight is different from approving official documents in the yamen. If necessary, I am willing to lead the army to fight against it, to avenge and avenge those generals and soldiers who died unjustly in China. The only thing missing in Kyushu is me. It is a pity for the Tang people, I believe that there are not a few of the ministers present today who have such thoughts."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian sang "Dead Song of Wuxiang Liaodong Wave" with a solemn expression, which made Wei Zheng's face instantly turn into a pig's liver.Because he saw that the generals covered their hearts with their hands one after another, and solemnly followed suit: Zhi Shilang in front of Changbai Mountain, wearing a pure red cotton back crotch. ., For example, if Liaodong dies, how can he be beheaded?Don't go to Liaodong, go all the way to Luchang. ..., the long sword shattered my body, and the sharp arrowhead pierced my cheek.Life is only for a moment, who is sad for the knight.A successful general will be rewarded, why should I die!

Wei Zheng originally wanted the veterans to teach the prince the difficulties of conquering Goguryeo, so that the prince, who likes martial arts like the emperor, knew that although ants are small, they can climb mountains.But who would have thought that the prince would turn his army against him, and pull all the generals to him with a single song.

Especially those generals who participated in the conquest of Goguryeo and their descendants all looked at Wei Zheng with hateful eyes, as if Wei Zheng was a traitor in Tang Dynasty, who was Goguryeo's internal support in the court, preventing them from serving their colleagues, brothers and elders. They take revenge.

"Wei Xiang, you see, the morale is high, the military's direction is irreversible, if Goguryeo knows the way, then we will be confused, if not, then we will only meet on the battlefield." After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian turned to face Shangxing After a salute, he said in a respectful voice: "Father, my son, please mobilize the Hangzhou and Dengzhou naval forces to completely suppress the bandits in the East China Sea until they are all strangled."

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin nodded, brushed off his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "The prince is right. The Tang Dynasty is a superior country, and a superior country should have the dignity of a superior country. Besides, we have already given courtesy first to soldiers, and we cannot surrender again." Guoge. The matter of suppressing bandits can be discussed by the crown prince and the Ministry of War. Well, if there is nothing to do, retreat to the court!"

Seeing that the emperor agreed to the plan of "suppressing bandits" that the prince said so easily, and adopted the method of building plank roads to cover up Chen Cang secretly, and misinterpreted the matter, Wei Zheng couldn't help but sighed in his heart, the prince was too hostile , the emperor is still so indulgent, does he only know the fate of King Zhao Wuling?
In fact, Wei Zheng was a fan of the authorities, and there was a very crucial point that he didn't see at all, that is, Du Ruhui, as the emperor's confidant and the current prime minister, could he not know the consequences of this discussion?If you want to talk, why bother to discuss gains and losses here? As for Guoge, just ask Honglu Temple to do it.

And Du Ruhui, who was the instigator, stepped aside after he finished speaking, as if everything had nothing to do with him, which could not explain that the emperor deliberately caused controversy. How can a person who demands perfection in everything tolerate the existence of Goguryeo?

The more Yang Guang couldn't do something, the more he had to do it. This time, Goguryeo was able to pick it up, otherwise Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, would immediately move eastward.Although Wei Zheng had served the emperor for more than ten years, he had to say that he didn't know Li Shimin well enough, so Fang Xuanling specially comforted him when the dynasty was dispersed.

And warned him: the past is over, the father and son are going to create a great cause that has never been seen in ancient and modern times, whoever walks in their way will die, you, Wei Xuancheng, can still be an official for a few years, why bother to be so serious, in the future When the crown prince is in power, you are either an octogenarian, or you have already lost your soul for a long time. It is time to consider the future for your descendants.

Seeing the crown prince walking towards the military department surrounded by Du Ruhui and other military officials and veterans, Wei Zheng couldn't help feeling a pang of pain in his heart. Who in this world really understands the revenge in my heart, Wei Zheng!Fang Xuanling was right, since the emperor saved his own life for the sake of love, he should resign himself to his fate and make good plans for his grandchildren.

He bowed his hands to the old house, and Wei Zheng staggered towards the palace gate, as if he had aged several decades for a moment. After the eldest grandson Wei Shuyu saw it, he hurried forward to help his father, and asked loudly that he was uncomfortable there, but Wei Zheng He didn't say anything but shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Wei Zheng didn't know that when their father and son walked out alone, the emperor and Changsun Wuji were also watching them from the attic.After a long time, Li Shimin sighed: "Auxiliary machine, I have given him a chance, and more than once, but his choice is still not me. Gao Ming's anger, I can understand, he can't bear the fact that his loyal minister who has respected him for more than ten years He is a double-minded thief. But I have my own reasons for not killing him, and I want to let him live so that he can see how Great Tang has surpassed Qin and Han in my hands, becoming the first empire in the ages."

"Yes, what your majesty said is that Wei Zheng is a man of great talent, but he just loves to go into a dead end. He can't understand the grand plans of his majesty and the prince at all, so no matter whether there is something about the king of Taiyuan or not, he Being eliminated is a foregone conclusion. Now that he is able to retire unscathed, he should burn incense and kowtow every day to thank the emperor for his kindness, after all, he is much luckier than those in the old East Palace."

For Changsun Wuji's opinion, Li Shimin deeply believed that the elimination of Wei Zheng was not only because of that incident, but also because he and some of his courtiers had fallen behind and could not keep up with the new strategy of the court. Deyi, Chen Shuda and others have the same reasoning.Wei Zheng is not the first, nor will he be the last, whether he can stay or not depends on them individually. .
