Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 68 Sometimes dignity is also an important part of deciding the outcome

Seeing the evaluation of himself in the video, Shi Jingtang was a little touched, but more of a pain, "Even if I don't give the Khitan people Yanyun sixteen states, the Khitan people won't come and get it themselves?

You must know that Khitan is not under my control at all,

Besides, I thought I could defeat the Khitans. How could I know? Sigh."

Shi Jingtang was full of bitterness, but in the end it just turned into a long sigh.

Now that he has been infamous, it means that his plan has failed and he lost the bet.

As the saying goes, winners and losers, the future history can only be written by others.
Amidst the curses of countless people, the video screen changed.

The map slowly disappeared, followed by battles on the battlefield with gold and iron horses.

【Shi Jingtang is a natural general.

His father's name was Shi Shaoyong, and Hu's name was Jiji. He was a subordinate of Li Keyong and Li Cunxu. He was not only good at riding and shooting, but also good at military strategy.

Shi Jingtang is the second son of the old chicken. He has shown the character and talent no less than his father since he was a child. He has a generous and calm personality. He doesn't like to chase and fight like other children. At a young age, he likes to study the art of war. He regards famous generals such as Li Mu and Zhou Yafu as his idols. 】

【Shi Jingtang is a good horse for thousands of miles. He was also very lucky to meet Bole, that is Li Siyuan, the governor of Daizhou. This governor admired Shi Jingtang so much that he directly married his daughter to Shi Jingtang. 】

【Later, Shi Jingtang also lived up to Li Siyuan's expectations. He followed Li Siyuan to battles and rescued Li Cunxu and Li Siyuan many times in distress.

【Shi Jingtang defeated countless generals of the Later Liang Dynasty, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Later Tang Dynasty. For a while, his reputation was outstanding, and no one could match him.

Later, Li Siyuan passed away, and his son Li Conghou succeeded to the throne, but this was not a smooth handover of the throne. 】

[Li Siyuan's sons had been eyeing the emperor's throne before his death. Li Conghou succeeded in surviving the fight with his brothers, and thus inherited the throne.

However, Li Conghou was not able to completely secure the throne of the emperor, and was quickly pulled down by Li Congke and Shi Jingtang who initiated the rebellion. 】

[After Li Congke came to the throne with the help of Shi Jingtang, like many emperors in history, he suffered from suspicion, and he was most worried about Shi Jingtang, who had fought side by side with him and surpassed him in talent.

And Li Congke's sense of smell is indeed quite keen, and Shi Jingtang is naturally not as loyal to him as he appears on the surface. 】

[In fact, Li Congke is not from the blood of the Li family, but the adopted son of Mingzong Li Siyuan, whose original surname is Wang instead of Li.

Shi Jingtang is the son-in-law of the late emperor Li Siyuan. In terms of closeness to the royal family, he is not inferior to Li Congke, and he himself is more talented than Li Congke.

Therefore, Shi Jingtang was not willing to completely obey Li Congke. Under the influence of the accumulation, Shi Jingtang's desire to realize the emperor's dream became more and more urgent. 】

[But under the circumstances at that time, Shi Jingtang was not sure enough to defeat Li Congke. 】

【So his counselor, Sang Weihan, gave him an idea, that is to attack Li Congke together with Khitan, and the price is to cede the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Khitan, and call the emperor of Liao Kingdom his father! 】

【After some deliberation, Shi Jingtang finally agreed. 】

"The emperor of the dog days!!!"

"He is a barbarian, not a Han!!!"

"kill him!"

"."

【At that time, Shi Jingtang was not completely deluded by the throne and desire for power. He actually had his own plans in his heart. 】

[After Li Congke ascended the throne, he also wanted to imitate the deposed emperor Li Conghou in cutting down feudal vassals. In the middle of the later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke's biggest threat was actually Shi Jingtang, the governor of Hedong.

Shi Jingtang not only has a strong military force, but also has qualifications and seniority that are not inferior to Li Congke.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

Naturally, Li Congke will not easily let go of Shi Jingtang who poses a huge threat to him]

【Of course Shi Jingtang would not be willing to be a fish on the chopping board. He wanted to survive and even killed Li Congke. Joining Khitan might be his best choice at that time. 】

[Actually, if we look back rationally to history, we can find that there are not a few cases of colluding with minority forces for their own use. 】

[When Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, raised troops in Taiyuan, his son Li Shimin asked him to join forces with the Turks.

Then they sent Liu Wenjing to Shibi Khan as a lobbyist, saying, "I am willing to enter the capital with Khan's soldiers, the people's land will go to Tang Gong, and the treasures will go to Turks."

Among the feudal forces in the late Tang Dynasty, there were also many people who chose to collude with Khitan, such as Li Keyong and Yelu Abaoji called brothers and sisters. 】

Countless people who were filled with righteous indignation finally calmed down when they saw that Tang Gaozu and Tang Taizong had also colluded with the Turkic people.

【Shi Jingtang's biggest possibility is that he actually wants to learn from Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

First bow your head to the northern barbarians, and then use their hands to help you destroy the enemy, and wait until the world is unified, and then repay the humiliated hatred at the beginning.

However, the accumulated social ills since the Anshi Rebellion have not been resolved, and Shi Jingtang himself has lost the support of the people.
As a result, he did not unify the world, and he did not report success in the end.

It can only be said that he overestimated himself too much.

Therefore, Shi Jingtang may not be an out-and-out "child emperor",
After all, compared to Zhao Gou who is known as "Wan Yan Gou", and compared to this capitulator from the beginning to the end, Shi Jingtang is actually a little bit better. 】

Zhao Gou: "???"

Zhao Kuangyin: "Wan Wan Yan Gou????"

"Hey! God Su, this is really bad!" Zhu Di said with a chuckle.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, and he murmured, "Wanyangou is a very appropriate name."

Wanyan Gou came back to his senses, oh no, it was Zhao Gou, his veins burst out of anger, and he yelled crazily: "Su Qian! If you have the ability, come out to me! I'm going to tear you apart, a thousand knives!" Cut to pieces!!!”

Su Qian didn't bother to pay attention to this yelling villain, and the video continued to play,
[There is another more important point, that is, the bargaining chip that Shi Jingtang used to make deals with the Khitan people - Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, was not in his own hands at that time.

Taking a piece of land that is not under his control to trade with others, it can be seen that Shi Jingtang's calculations are resounding. 】

[If Shi Jingtang can finally regain the lost ground and get rid of the shame, the fact that he admits the thief as his father may be downplayed, or it may simply become another version of suffering from hardship, from humiliation to inspirational story.

However, after Shi Jingtang became emperor, he encountered many troubles.

Because of his behavior of admitting a thief as his father at the beginning, he completely lost the respect of the minister.

After losing his support, Shi Jingtang even lived a very useless life, let alone unifying the world and regaining lost ground. 】

[In addition, the strategic location of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun is really important,
After occupying this area, the Khitan will be able to drive straight into and threaten the Yellow River Basin, and the regime in the Central Plains will lose its natural barrier against the northern nomads, and the suffering of the people in the Central Plains will be far away. 】

[It is precisely because the loss of the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures has had a profound impact on the Central Plains of China that Shi Jingtang's notoriety has become more and more serious. 】
