Chapter 281: The Thinness of Loyalty and the Thickness of Treachery

Chapter 281: The Thinness of Loyalty and the Thickness of Treachery
{For the sake of one family and one surname, they would rather eat human flesh and let civilians and soldiers starve to death! Such heinous atrocities were glorified as "loyalty and righteousness"!}

{Thinking back to Liu Zhang, although Liu Chan was ridiculed as a capitulator, at least he still retained a bit of humanity!}

{This sentence made me confused...}
{At this time, Suiyang was not only the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty, but also an isolated and helpless besieged city.}
{According to the records of the Yan army's capture of the city before the Battle of Suiyang, the people inside had no chance to surrender at all, and it could be said that it was a dead end.}
{It is definitely wrong for him to eat human flesh, but who forced him to eat human flesh? Why are they innocent? Why are they being harsh on Zhang Xun?}
{There was enough food in Suiyang City. Xu Yuan had stored 60,000 dan of food! And one dan in the Tang Dynasty weighed 80 kilograms!}

{But that bastard Li Ju forcibly took half of it and gave it to Jiyin in front of Suiyang and the nearby counties. Then Jiyin surrendered after receiving the food, and the surrounding counties all watched them die without helping.}
{He could have stopped eating people. Those bastards are the ones who created hell on earth!}

{Even Sukjong thought he could surrender, but if he didn't fight to the death, the whole situation might be more corrupt and there would be more victims.}
{Sweet! Li Longji! Li Ju! Helan Jinming! Xu Shuji!}
……

Big man.

"Loyal ministers and good generals, but they are not in their proper time."

Liu Bang looked at the sky and sighed at the loyalty of his subjects and the misery of the people.

"From my perspective, Emperor Suzong is also a mediocre ruler."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi frowned.

"Isn't that a bit arrogant?"

"The recovery of Suiyang means that Chang'an has been recovered."

“Isn’t this considered mediocre?”

Liu Bang glanced at Lu Zhi with contempt.

"Woman, how can you know people's hearts?"

Lu Zhi looked at him expressionlessly.

Liu Bang turned his head and said without any embarrassment:

"Have you ever thought about why no one from Henan County came to help?"

"And three days after Zhang Xun's city was captured, reinforcements arrived, because having a divine general was already very scary."

"Zhang Xun will die, and so will the defenders."

"There's nothing we can do. After all, Li Longji isn't dead yet."

Lu Zhi was horrified when she heard this.

"Just because of this? Just because he is the emperor's man?!"

Liu Bang looked at her strangely.

"I didn't realize that you can be so sentimental?"

"Is there a possibility that he doesn't stand on either side?"

Lü Zhi couldn't hold back her anger, she pounded the brocade couch hard and said angrily:
"So neither side considers him as their own. No one cares about him! Just let him fend for himself!"

"Take the credit for defending the city?!"

"What do these people think of the world? What do they think of loyal ministers and generals? What do they think of the people of a city?!"

Liu Bang looked at the sky with a smile and said:
"What do you think it is? You don't know this."

"All I know is that as long as Zhang Xun is alive, reinforcements will never arrive."

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji knelt on his knees and kowtowed, mumbling:
"Taizong, I have sent people to order these people to come back!"

"Then you can vent your anger!"

Then he raised his head, opened his sausage-shaped mouth which was swollen three times and said vaguely:
"Just stop hitting me."

Li Shimin, with his mighty sword, sat on the dragon throne, his eyes unfriendly.

"Hehe, how to deal with those people is your job as the emperor."

"I will not interfere in other people's affairs."

"But, as the ruler of a country, you abandoned the capital and died. It is only natural for me to look for you!"

"Even if we take a step back, it is right for our ancestors to educate their unworthy descendants!"

Li Longji slowly lowered his head.

"Taizong, I know I was wrong."

Li Shimin sneered at Li Longji, whose eyes were black, nose was bleeding, and his body was covered with footprints.

"No need to be so cautious here."

"You play with what I left behind!"

Then he glanced at the sky, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"People like Yan Gaoqing and Zhang Xun were abandoned and relegated to lowly positions when the country was at peace."

"When the world is in chaos, abandon him in an isolated city!"

"Let them be crushed into powder by the enemy!"

"Why are those who do good always unfortunate while those who do evil are blessed?"

"Why do you treat the loyal and righteous with indifference and protect the treacherous and evil?"

"Have you ever thought about these?!"

Li Longji bowed his head and said nothing.

"Remember!"

Li Shimin slowly stood up, walked to Li Longji who didn't dare to look up, and said in a deep voice:
"I spared your life for the sake of the Tang Dynasty."

"You did a good job, you deserve it! You have no right to seek pleasure!"

"If you can't do it well, I will choose someone else who can do it well!"

Li Longji's heart skipped a beat.

What did Emperor Taizong mean by this?
Could it be that there are more places he can come to...than this? !

"do not forget……"

Li Shimin walked past Li Longji and his figure turned into golden feathers and gradually dissipated.

"I can live longer than you..."

Li Longji remained in the kowtow position without moving. Gao Lishi, who was standing by, hurried over to help the emperor up.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Emperor Taizong has returned."

Li Longji raised his head and looked around, but when he couldn't see Li Shimin, he slowly stood up.

"Don't let it germinate in a solid state!"

A sudden burst of gold!
The two men knelt firmly on the ground.

After a moment, the two looked up and slowly stood up again.

Li Longji was helped to the dragon throne by Gao Lishi, and then he gritted his teeth and said:
"General Gao..."

"Wait for Li Ju and the others to arrive, and bring them here directly!"

"And... prepare a wooden stick for me."

"I want thick arms!"

Li Longji rubbed his knees and said word by word:

"I want to do it myself!"

……

Great Song.

The two brothers sat on the steps in front of the hall, silent.

"How ironic! Suiyang was recaptured after only three days of attack."

Zhao Kuangyin was the first to break the deadlock.

"Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun and others only know how to fight, but they don't know the complexity of politics."

"As the governor of Henan, Helan Jinming not only has to consider battlefield factors, but also officialdom struggles. The devastating blow caused by internal strife is even more terrible than external blows."

"Helan Jinming and the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Fang Guan were rivals. As one of the main generals in Guandong, Helan Jinming should have been given important positions, but Fang Guan, as the Prime Minister, used his power to give him only an unimportant position."

"Helan Jinming was not a weak person either. He took the opportunity to meet Emperor Suzong and reported Fang Guan, which led to Fang Guan being gradually marginalized and losing his position as prime minister."

"In response, Fang Guan asked the emperor to appoint his deputy Xu Shuji, who refused to be transferred, as the military commander after the emperor appointed Helan Jinming as the governor of Henan."

"The two of them were both given the title of Imperial Censor in the court, which was equivalent to being on the same level. Xu Shuji was stationed in Qiao County, nominally to help Helan Jinming, but in fact he neither obeyed orders nor served as a monitor."

"Helan Jinming needs to pay attention to the enemy's movements, and also worry about Xu Shuji next to him."

"Under such circumstances, he didn't dare to send troops to rescue Suiyang."

"The opportunity to rescue Suiyang was lost amid the mutual vigilance of the Tang Dynasty generals."

Zhao Kuangyi put his hands under his buttocks; the steps were still quite cold.

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been countless heroes who sacrificed their lives for justice and braved danger. Zhang Xun was the only one who relied on cannibalism to show his patriotism."

"From a utilitarian point of view, we have been holding out for a year, and the Tang army gathered around us but they just fought among themselves and did not help."

"Zhang Xun only managed to survive for less than a month when he started eating people in September. It didn't help the overall situation much."

"No matter what, cannibalism goes beyond the bottom line of being a human being. It's even more cruel than the An Lushan Rebellion!"

"If a country needs to eat people to defend itself, then its demise is only natural!"

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Zhao Kuangyi, who looked motionless, pointed at him and said helplessly:
"From the scholar's point of view, Chang'an was not recovered until September."

"Without Suiyang in the front, there would be no chance of recovering Chang'an."

"It's unclear whether Emperor Suzong and others can escape back to Shu!"

……

Ming Dynasty·Chongzhen period
Civil and military officials gathered in the Xuanzheng Hall.

Chongzhen would routinely cry poor for a while, and his ministers would accompany him.

Then he looked at the sky and sighed:
"Zhang Xun sacrificed his life for his country and fought desperately to ensure the safety of the Jiang and Huai regions."

"His loyalty and heroic achievements are even greater than those of Yan Gaoqing."

"After the rebellion was quelled, Emperor Sukjong discussed the reward for him, and some people wanted to reduce his reward because he had eaten human flesh while defending the city."

"National law advocates chastity and rewards merit, and there are established rules. It is wrong to want to reduce the reward for Zhang Xun. Those who are discussing this are too harsh."

As soon as these words came out, Qian Qianyi, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stepped out and said:

"Your Majesty, this is wrong. Zhang Xun has made great contributions in defending the city and his loyalty is evident, but his act of cannibalism is still inhumane."

"We held on to an isolated city, with no outside aid and food supplies running out, and fell into starvation."

"For a gentleman here, the only way to fulfill his ambition is to die!"

"A minister to his lord, a son to his father, the only thing they can accomplish is death!"

"If one goes beyond this, his sins are grave and he is only harming benevolence and righteousness."

"No matter whether the city lives or dies, no matter whether I live or die."

"The only thing that must not happen is cannibalism!"

"Zhang Xun is worthy of praise from the Tang Dynasty, but a gentleman cannot bear to speak of him!"

These words of righteousness and justice elevated the image of the scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

Chongzhen looked at Qian Qianyi with admiration and praised him:
"Even if I die, I will embrace the king! Qian Qing is truly a loyal minister!"

"With loyal ministers like Qian Qing, the Ming Dynasty can suppress the rebellion!"

 I spent a huge amount of money to buy a set of KFC children's meal to make up for my lost childhood.

  I had one thought after eating.

  It’s so easy to make money from kids!
