Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 509 Pei Yan
Morning the next day.

"Your Majesty!" Pei Yan, the servant of Huangmen, stood up impatiently after the process of saluting at the beginning of the morning.

"What's up with Aiqing?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian wondered what happened to Pei Yan today?I haven't seen him speak so actively on weekdays, how could he be the first to stand up today.

"Your Majesty! I implore Your Majesty to deal with the traitors Ashina Funian and Ashdwin Fu, to show that you are listening!" Pei Yan said.

Last night, Pei Yan thought all night, no matter what, let the emperor kill Ashina Funian and the others today, so as to weaken Pei Xingjian's achievements.

"This morning, I was about to talk about this matter, but I didn't want Pei Aiqing to be ahead of me and mention this matter." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty! I am sincere and terrified!" Pei Yan hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Aiqing, why are you so afraid? I'm not blaming you. You are helping me by proposing to punish the culprit of the rebellion! I'm not happy yet." Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Share your worries for the king! This is the duty of a minister!" Pei Yan said.

"Okay! Let's talk about how we should deal with Ashina Funian and Ashdwin Fu, as well as a group of accomplices. I want to hear your opinion." Li Chengqian said.

"I think that these two people should be beheaded to show the public, as an example to others!" Pei Yan said.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!" After hearing this, Pei Xingjian hurried out to salute and stop him.

He had promised Ashina Funian that he would try his best to keep his life safe!

If the emperor couldn't let the emperor stop killing Ashina Funian and Ashdwin Fu, wouldn't it mean that Pei Xingjian didn't believe what he said, and Datang didn't believe what he said.

He, Pei Xingjian, represented the entire Tang Dynasty to fight against the Eastern Turkic rebellion, not an individual.

"Listen to what Pei Yan said first, Xingjian, don't open your mouth for now, it's not too late for you to speak after Pei Yan finishes speaking, I want to hear Pei Yan's opinion first, Pei Yan, you continue to talk." Li Chengqian stopped Pei Xingjian, Let Pei Yan continue to talk about the topic just now.

"Promise!" Pei Xingjian replied, as long as there is a chance to say it, there is still hope, it's the same if you say it first.

"Your Majesty! The reason why Eastern Turks rebelled is because of the existence of people like Ash De Wen Fu and Ash Na Fu Nian."

"If His Majesty forgives them, more people will raise the flag of rebellion and imitate Ashina's rebellion..."

"Fu Nian was forced by the deputy generals Zhang Qianxu and Cheng Wuting, and Huihe and others forced him from the north to the south. He was poor and embarrassing, so please behead him." Pei Yan said in a small mouth.

Li Chengqian frowned after hearing this, and felt that what Pei Yan said was very reasonable, if Ashina Funian and others were not severely punished.

Will there be others who will betray Datang like them, and will the court forgive them at that time?

There are successive rebellions, troops are sent out every year to crusade, how many people will be killed if the court can support it, and so on.

Pei Yan will clearly explain to Li Chengqian the harm of not killing Ashina Funian and others, as well as the consequences that will happen later, which may happen.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is alarmist, the key is whether the emperor listened.

After Pei Yan's wonderful speech, Li Chengqian was indeed a little shaken in his heart, and felt that what Pei Yan said was not bad.

Killing Ashina Funian and the others might really be able to do it once and for all. At this time, Li Chengqian had already developed a murderous intention towards Ashina Funian.

"Your Majesty! I don't agree with Pei Shilang's words!" Seeing the emperor hesitated, Pei Xingjian hurriedly stood up and said.

He was afraid that if he didn't speak now, he would have no chance to speak later.

"Pei Xingjian, what do you have to say?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I think Ashina Funian shouldn't be killed, but killing him would be bad!" Pei Xingjian said.

"Pei Gong, don't scare people in this hall and confuse His Majesty's holy hearing. Killing Ashina Funian is to make an example and deter those who have ulterior motives, so that these people dare not think anything wrong." Pei Pei Yan said.

No matter how high-sounding Pei Yan said, he was actually just jealous of Pei Xingjian's achievements, so he wanted to use this method to lower Pei Xingjian's prestige.

"Xingjian, since you think Ashina Funian shouldn't be killed, why can't you tell me why?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty! Killing the prisoners is a problem that can be solved with a single blow. However, after killing Ashina Funian who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, who will be willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty again in the future."

"They all know that surrender is death. Who dares to surrender, why not fight to the death, maybe there is still a way to survive. Have you ever thought about how many soldiers will die in this way?"

"The Ashina family is the royal family of the Turks. If Ashina Funian is killed, I am afraid that the Eastern Turks, and even the entire Turks, will rise up to resist. From then on, there will be no peace in the Western Regions."

"Besides, I promised Ashina Funian that as long as he can surrender, I will try my best to protect his life! The struggle between Hun and Jun is shameful in ancient and modern times. But if you are afraid of killing and surrendering, there will be no return." Pei Xingjian said. , pay homage.

"I understand what you mean! What you say is reasonable. How can I make a decision? What do you love to say? Why don't you speak up and listen." Li Chengqian looked puzzled.

In fact, he said the last sentence to Pei Xingjian: Hun and Jun compete for merit, which is shameful in ancient and modern times.But if you are afraid of killing and surrendering, and there is no return, you will make a decision.

The two Hun and Jun mentioned by Pei Xingjian are actually Wang Hun and Wang Jun, two generals who destroyed Eastern Wu in the Western Jin Dynasty.

The two of them led an army to attack Wu Wang Sun Hao.Wang Jun fought bravely and decisively. He went down the river from Wuchang and regained Jiankang, the capital of Wu, in one fell swoop, and Sun Hao, the leader of Wu, surrendered.

The next day, Wang Hun crossed the Yangtze River and joined Wang Jun. Because Wang Jun captured Jiankang and won the first victory, Wang Hun was jealous, so he sued his father-in-law Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan that Wang Jun was unrestrained and acted privately. , almost led to the failure of the plan to attack Soochow.

Fortunately, he turned the tide in the end and saved the situation, so that he could successfully capture Jiankang, the capital of Soochow.

In the handling of this matter, Emperor Wu of Jin was obviously partial to his son-in-law Wang Hun. Although he rewarded Wang Jun, he put the credit on Wang Hun.

He was very dissatisfied with Emperor Wu of Jin's behavior of taking sides and favoring his son-in-law, and was unhappy with Wang Hun's taking his credit, so the two have been fighting for credit ever since.

Pei Xingjian was reminding Li Chengqian that Pei Yan was jealous of his achievements and was here to compete with him.

Li Chengqian naturally understood that Pei Yan was really jealous of Pei Xingjian's great contribution and would be highly valued, so he wanted to use this method to weaken Pei Xingjian's contribution.

Li Chengqian was dissatisfied with Pei Yan's behavior. Although Pei Yan was very capable, he couldn't be so shameless.

No wonder in history, Wu Zetian will die in the end.
