Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 241 The story behind history

Li Shimin seemed a little surprised to see the two people greeting each other.

Upon seeing this, Yu Chigong whispered into Li Shimin's ear what happened that day.

If it weren't for Qin Tian's two Taoist robes, he really didn't know how to bring Fang Qiao and Du Ruhui out of the house.

But later he became so busy with various things, and later encountered the Turkic invasion, that Yuchi Gong actually forgot about this matter.

"Thank you so much for your help that day." Li Shimin came up and thanked him: "Later..."

Qin Tian waved his hand, indicating that the other party didn't need to care: "It's just a piece of cake, just two pieces of clothing, why bother."

Those clothes were conjured up by Qin Tian with magic power. He could have as many as he wanted, so naturally he didn't care at all.

The clothes he was wearing were sewn for him by Mu Chun himself. He would not give this kind of clothes to others casually.

"Two pieces of clothing are not worth much, so don't mention this matter again."

Qin Tian smiled softly and then said goodbye directly.

This attitude made Yu Chigong very dissatisfied.

Although he did help him, Qin Tian's attitude was still a bit too arrogant.

Li Shimin stopped Yuchi Gong who was about to have an attack.

"Don't blame those who don't know. He doesn't know who we are." Li Shimin smiled faintly.

He was only interested in Qin Tian because he felt that the two girls around Qin Tian were very clever, a bit spiritual, and a little happy.

As for other ideas, of course they don’t exist.

After all, he is not a foolish king. When he sees a good-looking woman, he will include her in the harem.

But Li Shimin didn't expect that not long after, he would meet that young man again.

This encounter was at a tea shop on the roadside.

Li Shimin was a little tired from walking outside and was about to find a place to rest. Unexpectedly, he saw Qin Tian drinking and chatting with a energetic middle-aged man.

The two girls beside him were playing hopscotch with the children on the roadside.

Li Shimin sat down, and the conversation between Qin Tian and the middle-aged man came over.

"Sure enough, what Brother Qin said is absolutely right." Sun Simiao said with admiration.

Now when I think back to Qin Tian's predictions before, I feel that everything is so magical.

The Turks really retreated!

After the incident is over, if we analyze what happened at that time from the perspective of future generations, naturally countless clues will point to one result.

But when you are there when something is happening, being able to deduce the outcome of the event through countless clues is not something that ordinary people can do.

"To this day, when I think back to those two sentences from Brother Qin, they are still as enlightening as those of Hong Zhongdalu!"

"If you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace; if you seek peace through compromise, you will live in peace!"

Sun Simiao muttered these words.

"Those officials in the DPRK should really keep this sentence firmly in their hearts!"

"Well said!" Li Shimin couldn't agree more with this statement!

Li Shimin became very angry when he mentioned this.

Although the Turks left, Chang'an City paid such a high price, which is simply a shame!

But the problem is that Li Jiancheng's remnants of the party and some officials in the DPRK and China don't think so.

They feel that just spending a little money to deal with these people is really not a better deal.

It's not their money spent anyway.

If they really had to pay, they would probably have a different face.

"If you want to prevent yourself from being bullied, you have to attack hard. Only when the enemy is hurt will they know that we are not easy to bully!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin looked indignant: "Of those weaklings in the court, some of them dare to say that we should abandon Chang'an City and move the capital!"

"I bother!"

Even Qin Tian, ​​who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel speechless when he heard this argument.

What kind of brain circuit can come up with such a bizarre proposal?

"Your Excellency..." Sun Simiao looked at Li Shimin who suddenly interrupted with some strangeness.

To be honest, Li Shimin's behavior was not very polite, which is basically impossible to happen in future generations.

But in Datang, these are not too big of a problem.

Because the Tang Dynasty was actually a multi-ethnic country, especially in Chang'an City, the degree of barbarism was quite high.

Therefore, most of the residents of the Tang Dynasty were imbued with a certain sense of boldness, and Li Shimin's sudden interjection was not very abrupt.

"Oh, I'm just an ordinary person who can't stand what some people do." Li Shimin waved his hand.

After saying that, Li Shimin raised his hand and said: "Li Shi, Shi Shi, Shi Shi, I wonder what you two call me?"

After a few people exchanged names, they soon chatted together.

"What did I hear my husband say just now, to fight...what does it mean?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

Sun Simiao understood immediately: "It turns out that I came here for this matter."

After taking a look at Qin Tian and finding that he didn't care, Sun Simiao told what happened that day.

"What I remember most deeply now is Brother Qin's words. If you can't get it on the battlefield, you can't get it in negotiations."

Qin Tian shook his head, as if he had thought of something: "Not necessarily, there will always be a few idiots in history..."

"Just like Liu Chen."

When Liu Chen was mentioned, Qin Tian was so angry that he couldn't help but want to go back in time and give him two big slaps.

If it weren't for that idiot, the people of the Central Plains would never have suffered so many disasters for no reason!

Li Shimin glanced at Qin Tian, ​​feeling a little strange. ,

"It seems that Brother Qin has done a lot of research on the history of the Later Han Dynasty?"

Li Shimin said a little strangely: "The historical records at that time were vague and unclear. I wonder where Brother Qin learned about Liu Chen?"

"Then Liu Chen, what's going on?"

"The record is not clear?"

Li Shimin nodded.

There are very few records about Liu Chen in the history books. Most people in later generations only know that the disaster of Wuhu chaos occurred when Liu Chen was in power.

But then Liu Chen died suddenly and suddenly, the new emperor came to the throne, worked hard to govern, and drove the Huns out of the Central Plains within a few years.

So Qin Tian suddenly mentioned Liu Chen, Li Shimin and others were a little surprised.

Liu Chen's presence in history books is both low and high.

The reason is that there are very few records about him, and most of them are just a few vague sentences.

It's even simpler if you are high. The records of other emperors are clear, but when it comes to you, there is nothing.

He was born, ascended the throne, escaped, and died suddenly.

The records about Liu Chen in history books can be easily summarized in these twelve words.

Such a maverick emperor will certainly arouse the curiosity of scholars.

Therefore, anyone who knows the history of the Later Han Dynasty is very interested in Liu Chen, because as an emperor, there are too few records about him.

Qin Tian understood immediately. What I did back then was really too shocking, so those people had no choice but to erase their existence with Chunqiu brushstrokes.

So much so that there are very few records about not only himself, but also about Liu Chen in history, and they are simply unclear.

Qin Tian paused.

How did he know, because he was the one who ended the troubled times of the Later Han Dynasty!

Qin Tian shook his head slightly: "I saw it from an ancient book by chance."

"When Liu Chen heard about the Xiongnu invasion, he immediately disbanded his army and took some officials to the south to establish his capital."

"A large area of ​​land in the north fell directly. He didn't even resist, and just gave it to others."

Qin Tian said with disdain: "When the northern army and the people joined forces to fight against the Hu people, what was the result? This guy claimed vassalage, paid tribute, and ceded territory. He directly destroyed the entire Shu Han."

"We generally cannot treat people like this with common sense."

Li Shimin and Sun Simiao looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Countless people have made speculations and guesses about that period of history more than two hundred years ago, but none of them can figure out what happened.

Why did the Shu Han lose a large area of ​​land in the north in just one year?

According to a few records in history, most scholars speculate that the Hu people raided the country, forcing Liu Chen to move the capital.

Although outrageous, this is also the most reasonable and the most obvious historical fact recorded in history books.

Later, everyone's speculations about that period of history were based on this point.

But what Qin Tian said today gave Li Shimin a small historical shock.

"Was it actually like this... back then?"

Li Shimin was a little surprised: "It shouldn't be so outrageous, right?"

He was a little shocked.

There really is such an outrageous emperor in this world.

Qin Tian curled his lips and did not answer.

That's because Li Shimin didn't know about the Song Dynasty, the shame of Jingkang, and the two emperors Huiqin.

If he knew, Li Shimin would be so angry that one Buddha would leave his body and two Buddhas would ascend to heaven.

"It's just an ancient book. It can also be read as a story." Qin Tian said lightly.

Since history has chosen to conceal it, there is no need to pull that person out and whip his body.

History has given them the most fair evaluation. For example, Liu Chen's posthumous title was Emperor Huang of the Han Dynasty. The evaluation is not unpleasant.

The so-called "famine" refers to an unlucky year when there is no grain; when there is chaos both inside and outside, it is called "famine"; when one enjoys pleasure and neglects government, it is called "famine"; when he is confused and has no discipline, it is called "famine"; when he enjoys pleasure but does not respond, it is called "famine"; when he abuses the five constant things, it is called "famine".

Emperor Huang of the Han Dynasty occupied all six of these conditions, and this was clearly recorded in the history books.

This is also the reason why many people are very interested in Liu Chen. What on earth did this person do that is so outrageous that it caused history to have such a low evaluation of him?

And, most importantly, there are very few records about him.

After seeing the historical records of Liu Chen hundreds of years later, Qin Tian might be able to understand a little bit.

This thing really cannot be said to the outside world, how can I say it? Could it be that this guy is too stupid and has attracted immortal punishment?

Then does this country still need to be ruled?

It can't stop everyone in the world from talking about it, but it can make many people forget it. The so-called Spring and Autumn brushwork is nothing more than this.

It's just the comments about him that put many people in trouble.

Especially for his posthumous title, there is no need to think about a posthumous title or a good posthumous title, and certainly not a flat one. Who knows if the immortals are watching.

Then the only option left is to give a posthumous title or an evil posthumous title.

In order to conceal what happened at the time, history was vague about this record, but it happened to give Liu Chen an evil posthumous title, which had to make many people curious about what he had done.

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, the records and evaluations about Liu Chen in history are all bad reviews without exception, but they are uniformly silent on what he actually did.

"This can explain why the records about him in history books are so strange." Li Shimin slapped his mouth.

Ever since he started reading and learned about this incident in the previous dynasty, he had been very strange.

I just didn't expect that there was such a thing hidden in it.

"I don't know about that ancient book..."

Qin Tian was silent for a moment: "I saw it by chance in a temple when I was visiting in the early years, but now I think I can't find it anymore."

Where do you want him to find that book?

Li Shimin was quite sorry.

While chatting, Li Shimin became more and more interested in Qin Tian.

Because he found that many of Qin Tian's judgments on the current situation coincided with his own.

"So Brother Qin also thinks that our country, Tang, will definitely be able to defeat the Turks?"

Qin Tian nodded slightly: "Not only can he defeat him, but he can also beat him to the point of collapse very quickly, and he will no longer be able to threaten the Tang Dynasty."

The two people in Datang made Li Shimin elated and in a happy mood.

"Why do you say that?"

Qin Tian pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it, he still felt that there was nothing to hide, so he just treated it as a casual chat.

"After the Turkic Khanate split into the eastern and western parts, it has never been dealt with, and both sides have fought many battles."

"There is also the DTZ Khanate, which looks powerful but is actually powerful on the outside but weak on the inside."

"Every time he comes to the Central Plains Dynasty to fight against the autumn wind, he looks majestic. If he wins, he plunders. If he loses, he just kneels down and admits his mistake. It is so repeated and shameless."

“This may seem like a way of accumulating strength, but in fact it does a lot of harm but no good at all.”

"Why do you say that?" Li Shimin asked: "It's clear that they all made money, so why is it doing all harm and no benefit?"

Qin Tian raised a finger: "First of all, this is not conducive to uniting people's hearts. They seem to be a country, but in fact they are just a loose alliance of tribes gathered together."

"It's okay if they keep winning, but once they fail, in order to ensure their own interests on the grassland, they must ensure their own strength, otherwise they will definitely be annexed by other tribes after they go back!"

"What will be the result of this?"

Li Shimin thought for a moment and gave the answer.

"Each of us fights and strives to protect ourselves!"

Qin Tian nodded slightly: "Yes, that's exactly it!"

Therefore, the Turkic Khanate seems to be powerful, but in fact it is just a loose sand. It can only bully and bully others when the Central Plains dynasty is weak.

And this second question is also a crucial question.

"Why did the Turks go south to plunder?"

"Is there any need to think about it?" Li Shimin wanted to give his answer without hesitation.

But when he saw Qin Tian's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling, he hesitated a little.

"So...for what?"

"There are many reasons." Qin Tian said lightly: "I prefer to start from the perspective of interests and the perspective of the people."

"Oh? What should I explain?" Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Now when he hears things about the people, he will be very interested.
