Chapter 458 The towering giant tree will never last

In Qin Mubai's memorial, there are three things described.

The first is to plead guilty, saying that the road outside Guanshan is thousands of miles away, and what happened in front of him was too late to return to the court in time, resulting in various misunderstandings and disturbances. Qin Mubai was willing to take the blame. In addition, there were many disadvantages in the front war, which led to the loss of power and humiliation of the country. Qin Mubai was also willing to take responsibility.

Hearing this, the court was full of anger!

"Isn't he dead? Why are you alive now, but why do you still jump out and take responsibility?

"Dafeichuan has been lost, and the Tubo soldiers are in danger in Lanzhou under the city. The land of Helong will be lost, and the Hexi Business Road will be lost!"

"It's really a sin!!"

For a moment, the noise was abnormal, which made Chu Suiliang unable to read any more.

Li Shimin sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, with an unfathomable smile on his face. He neither stopped nor revealed the answer, and let everyone talk about it.

Because of his own mood, he has just experienced such "big ups and downs".

"Colleagues, please be calm and don't be impatient. The memorial is very long, and this is just the beginning. Chu Suiliang couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to stop it.

Everyone had to temporarily hold back their anger and continue to listen.

In the second part of the memorial, there is a sudden reversal. Let's start with the first battle between Qin Mubai's army and the Qar Qinling. After the war, the Karqinling sent people to send the ashes and other things of the fallen soldiers. Then Qin Mubai Cave investigated the enemy's secret conspiracy, so he planned a strange plan and staged a "deception" drama of falsehood and deceiving the world. Most people in the court know what happened next - Qin Mubai's "after his death", Dafeichuan had no leader. Li Daozong was ordered to give up Dafeichuan and retreat to Shanzhou in order to preserve his strength. In fact, this was also Qin Mubai's pre-made arrangement, the purpose was to paralyze the enemy and lure the enemy deep.

Finally, this "fraudulent death" drama, which deceived people all over the world, cheated the Chalqin Mausoleum. In the severe winter, he led the military doves to occupy the magpie's nest and stationed in Dafeichuan, and took advantage of the victory to attack and capture Danzhou, so as to take down Helong! Unexpectedly, the army he sent was in the Magic Moon Valley, and 150,000 troops were wiped out and almost all the whole army was destroyed!

Almost at the same time as the War of the Magic Moon Valley, Qin Mubai sent people to blow up the Buha River near the Dafeichuan Barracks, which flooded the main force of Tibet and succeeded in one fell swoop!

Immediately, Qin Mubai ordered Hou Junji to lead a large army to counterattack Dafeichuan, capture the prisoners and recover the lost land. The remnants of thegar Qinling led the remnants and fled to Qingluoyuan in a hurry!

Two great victories, annihilating nearly 100,000 enemies, capturing more than 50,000 people, and capturing countless horses and equipment.

At the beginning, that is, before Qin Mubai's fraudulent death, he had already sent a brigade of soldiers to wading thousands of miles across the mountains and rivers, miraculously over the Kunlun Snow Mountain, which was not crossed by birds, and successfully attacked Golmud! This move took off the nest of the garqin Mausoleum and cut off his lifeline!

Today, 300,000 troops in the Chalqin Mausoleum have lost more than half of the grain and grass to defend Qingluoyuan, which has become a trend of lingering!

......

Chu Suiliang's voice was already loud and transparent. When he came here, he was also deeply encouraged and excited. His words were sonorous, such as hammer hammering and piercing his heart!

The literature and martial arts of the Man Dynasty were all shocked. Most of the people's eyes widened and showed an extremely incredible expression, and they were stunned.

The whole audience was unexpectedly silent.

Many people present felt that their faces were hot and shameless, as if they had been brushed a few times... Because just now, they were still scolding Qin Mubai passionately in the group, "It's not a big deal!"

Li Shimin looked at the expressions of these people and didn't show his face, but his heart was relieved and happy, but he couldn't help laughing! At this time, he secretly scolded Qin Mubai in his heart: Son of a bastard, he dares to play with his heart when writing a memorial! First, he demoted himself to a worthless national sinner, and then began to brag about his achievements! ...It's a big deal, suppress it first and then raise it, haha! His nature is really different from his rigid and straightforward father! - But I like it! This memorial is clearly written for the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty. The purpose is to slap some people's mouths and make me raise my eyebrows! Because I have always been working hard to resolve the dispute between the two countries by force. If Qin Mubai wins, it proves that I am right, that is, I win; those who are the Lord and faction in the court must shut up! ...Well, of course, ability is important, but it does require some skills to deal with people. At this point, Qin Mubai is really better than his upright and angry father! But one thing is that their father and son are the same, that is, they will put themselves in my shoes! ......

The third part of

The memorial is to ask the court to give a plan to deal with post-war matters, and to provide timely support for food and fodder, medicine and various military materials. The two major victories of Magic Moon Valley and Dafeichuan annihilated nearly 100,000 enemies and 40,000 to 50,000 prisoners. Historically, in the court of the Central Plains, especially the Tang Dynasty, which "governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and dominates the world with kings", the issue of prisoners of war is quite **. The generals of the border gate do not dare to commit suicide easily, otherwise they will definitely be put on a high hat similar to modern "anti-human", and it is common to be impeached and punished.

Therefore, before Hou Junji led the army to go out, Qin Mubai solemnly told him not to kill innocent people in vain. Firstly, in order to avoid his killing of prisoners, it will arouse the anger of the people of Tibet and increase resistance to calm the plateau. Second, if these prisoners of war can be surrendered, they are all first-class good cavalry. Thirdly, Qin Mubai also does not want to make trouble.

In addition, although the bitter trick of flooding Dafeichuan has defeated the enemy, it has also destroyed this foundation that has been operating for many years. Nowadays, the army is seriously short of food and goods, and it is also imperative to rebuild the military fortress. Therefore, Qin Mubai made it clear in the memorial that he asked the court to provide assistance with grain and materials as soon as possible in order to prepare for the re-war and expand the results of the war.

......

After the memorial, the hall was quiet.

"Zhongqing, why don't you say anything?" Li Shimin said.

Only then did the officials save their own mind. Many people hit a few times in embarrassment, and then shouted "10,000 live the Tang Dynasty, long live the emperor" together to celebrate this great victory.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair like a rock. His eyes quietly swept through the literary and martial arts of the court, and all sentient beings could have a panoramic view.

The first minister, his eldest brother-in-law, Situ, prime minister, and eldest grandson Wuji, bowed his head and stood silently.

"What do you think of the auxiliary machine?" Li Shimin asked by name.

Changsun Wuji seemed to have expected that the emperor would ask questions by name. At this time, he stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, I thought it was a great victory in Lanzhou. Congratulations! This is a rare victory in recent years, which is enough to inspire the people and promote the world. The imperial court should reward the three armies for meritorious deeds. In addition, the materials needed before the war should also be prepared and transported as soon as possible to solve the urgent needs of the front-line soldiers!"

"Um..." Li Shimin answered, frowned slightly as if he was unhappy. Some words came to his mouth and finally put up with it. At this time, he said to himself: What he said is equivalent to not saying anything! Now his face should be the most lightless, because he tried his best to stop the war at the beginning... Now, I won't ridicul him. After all, he is still my most powerful and loyal minister, and the center of the Tang Dynasty can't live without him. Among other things, it is just that the new law he has recently compiled is much more perfect and appropriate than the Wude Law of the previous emperors, and it can be promulgated immediately. Ten Qin Mubai can't do such a thing.

Thinking about this, Li Shimin's heart moved inexplicably: Strange, when did I start to euple Qin Mubai with Changsun Wuji? ......

"Your Majesty, I have something to play!!" Suddenly, a high-sounding sound attracted everyone's attention.

At a glance, Li Shimin saw that it was Liu Wei, the imperial servant in the palace. He is responsible for the supervision of the court's deliberations, correcting the king's gains and losses and recording major resolutions, and also has the power to report and impeach officials in the court.

In the Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Shimin was good at giving advice, so he created many ministers who had the courage to make advice.

And Liu Yu is one of them. He has always been known for his courage and uprightness. Whether it is the emperor or the prime minister, Yang or his personal friends, as long as he makes a mistake, he will refute or impeach him selflessly and ruthlessly. Although his talent and fame are far less than that of Wei Zheng, he has similarities with Wei Zheng, and even more than Wei Zheng.

In recent years, Wei Zheng has been aging and suffers from eye diseases. Most of the time, he can only recuperate at home. Liu Wei, the imperial historian, gradually became the most dazzling official in the court.

When Liu Yu stood up, including Li Shimin, everyone's heart was blocked. This man has always been good at picking bones in eggs, and he dares to say anything and impeach anyone. A few years ago, he wanted to impeach the two, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian. These are the two clans who are the closest and most valued by the former emperor and Li Shimin, and they are also the two founding fathers who are famous for their outstanding internal achievements. Although he failed in the end, Liu Li became famous in the first battle. Anyone who sees him will feel a little scared.

"What do you want to say? Let's talk about it." Li Shimin said.

"Weichen, I want to impeach one person!" Liu Wei said in a loud voice.

Many people began to sweat on their foreheads... Again!

"Who is it?" Li Shimin asked faintly.

"It's the military report, the general manager of the march of Kansai Province, Qin Mubai!" Liu Yu's words are amazing.

Now the eldest grandson Wuji has a big head, but he can only smile bitterly.

Li Shimin smiled quietly, "What's the reason?"

"Wor-working people and hurting money, poor soldiers and martial arts! Bully you and confuse the world!" Liu Wei said sixteen words word at a time, which was as turbulent and unreasonable as ever.

Many people didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and secretly scolded Liu Yu for not knowing the current affairs. They also reported a thought to watch the hustle and bustle and watch the changes.

In fact, most people think that the emperor is already preparing for the imperial expedition in a big way. All the time, you have no jokes, and you must go out. No matter what the reason is, it is always a dishonest act for a king to destroy his promise before he destroys himself, which is one of them. In addition, by the Weishui River outside Chang'an City, 300,000 troops were ready to go. The materials proposed by the national treasury were piled up like mountains, and even the grain stored in the Heluo granary was taken out. In addition, countless mules and horses were recruited. In fact, the name is "working the people hurting money". And earlier, Li Shimin had already passed the imperial edict to order the world, and the whole country and the people all responded. Now they are looking at Li Shimin eagerly and personally!

Now, Qin Mubai's military report made the emperor change his mind and let the enthusiastic 300,000 troops unload their armor. Li Shimin's previous determination and determination seemed to be a farce and irony!

For the emperor, this is indeed a very faceless thing. And the Wenwu of the Man Dynasty, who has been busy for more than ten days, will feel more like being teased. The courtiers all paid attention to the monarch. At this time, people like Liu Yu jumped out to impeach, which was also expected by Li Shimin.

Therefore, Li Shimin has been prepared for a long time. At this time, in the face of the various thoughts of the Wenwu Dynasty, he Zhizhu waved his hand in the eight winds, "I know, you step back."

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did you ask me to leave? I haven't finished talking yet." However, he had no choice but to temporarily return to the train.

"I know that Liu Wei has said what many people think." Li Shimin said aloud, "As we all know, I have planned to go on a personal expedition and prepare everything properly. In ten days, the Weishui camp has gathered 300,000 troops. Now I suddenly destroyed my foreword and didn't recruit in person. I spent countless money and food in vain. It seems that I, you and the people of the world have been teased. All this seems to be caused by Qin Mubai's fraudulent death. So Liu Wei listed his four major crimes - labor, people, money, and poor soldiers and martial arts! Bully you and confuse the world!"

Everyone was speechless and listened quietly. Because they heard it, the emperor must have the following. Liu Wei still wanted to come out to argue a few words, but he was fiercely pommed by the eldest grandson Wuji next to him, and he had to suppress it.

"Actually, Liu Yi, you made a mistake. The person who should not be impeached is Qin Mubai. Even if you want to impeach, it should also impeach the king of Jiangxia and me!" Li Shimin also said something amazing.

Liu Yu was shocked. Even though he was bold, he was not big enough to impeach the emperor. At that moment, he knelt down and said in panic, "I dare not!"

"Get up, I'm not blaming you. As a servant of the palace, you are just doing your duty, and there is no fault. However, I would like to remind you that it is not too late to figure out the twists and turns before impeachment. Li Shimin said, "In your hearts, you must have more or less the same idea as Liu Wei. Then, let me untie you!"

"I would like to hear from Your Majesty!" All the literary and martial arts made a promise together. Liu Wei also stood up and stood aside to listen.

"The soldiers are tricky, and the soldiers are not tired of deception. The military is impermanent and the water is impermanent, so the military law will be outside, and the king's life will not be accepted. This is not to say that the general despises the king outside, but that the two armies are fleeting away from the changing fighters, and they don't have time to ask the king for permission. Li Shimin said, "I am a horse emperor, and I deeply agree with this. How can Qin Mubai, who is far away from Dafeichuan, ask me for a plan before using a plan to defeat the enemy? When this decree comes and goes, the fighter plane must be in vain. Therefore, Qin Mubai cheated his death just to deceive the Tubo people, and he didn't have time to tell me in time. This is exaggeration. And such a secret plan, the fewer people who know, the greater the hope of success. Qin Mubai didn't do anything wrong.

After hearing the words, Wen Wu thought that the emperor's words were indeed reasonable.

Li Shimin continued to say, "And I and you were deceived and teased because of this. One is to blame Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, for misreporting the front-line military situation in advance. He is so ten years old that I will definitely face him and scold him, but he will not be impeached. Because at that time, even he was deceived. He thought that Qin Mubai was dead, and the Kansai army was in danger of 100,000 yuan in Lanzhou Helong. It was also his duty to ask the court for reinforcements in advance. In the final analysis, whether it is me, the King of Jiangxia, Zhong Aiqing and the people in the world have been cheated, this is not Qin Mubai's original intention. His purpose is just to defeat the enemy! However, this just proves that he is insatiable and ingenious - even I can be deceived. Can the Tubo people not be tricked? As a result, there are two great victories, Magic Moon Valley and Dafeichuan!"

"A king, today's emperor does have a different mind than ordinary people!" Many people began to sigh and sigh. After being teased like this, no matter how good-tempered people are, they will be annoyed and depressed. However, the emperor is trying his best to exonerate Qin Mubai, and even the fact that he was teased is lightly passed.

"In this way, Liu Wei counted Qin Mubai's crimes of 'bullying the king and confusing the world', which seemed a little far-fetched. As for the poor soldiers and martial arts, it doesn't depend on Qin Mubai. Li Shimin said, "It was the Tubo people who provoked the Tang Dynasty first, and then I ordered him to fight back and protect the territory. Is this also a poor soldier? If it counts, then the first part of this crime should be counted on me. It's hard for the people to waste money, and there's no way to talk about it. When did Qin Mubai once say that he wanted me to send 300,000 troops and bring countless money and food to help? All this is my opinion, and Qin Mubai has not known it at all so far. What's wrong with him?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin smiled and said in a relaxed and witty tone, "Liu Wei, I'll give you an example, just like you planted a tree somewhere ten years ago, and someone hanged on this tree ten years later, should you be punished by the law or morally condemned?"

"Hahaha!" Man Chao Wenwu laughed, and Liu Wei's face turned blue.

"Cu Suiliang!"

"Weichen is there!"

"Today's court meeting must have been recorded in the book. Next, you have to mark what I say. In the future, I will write it in the "Emperor Fan" to warn my descendants and kings. Li Shimin said, "As a king, the most important thing is not the literary and martial arts talent, nor the mental city government, but the mind!"

"Weichen wrote it down!"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said, "I take the tree as an example, and I have the right to talk and laugh with Zhong Aiqing. If a tree grows in a crevice of thorny rock or planted in a narrow courtyard, it will certainly not grow tall; on the contrary, if it grows in a vast field and fertile soil, it may grow into a towering giant tree. If a minister is like a tree, then the king's mind is the environment in which it grows. I'm not afraid that you will be so huge, because my mind is as high as the sky! The towering giant tree can't end up in the sky! - I don't need to disturb myself!"

The words made the Wenwu of the dynasties deeply moved and rejoiced. Who doesn't like such a king?

Throughout the ages, how many emperors like Li Shimin do not avoid meritorious deeds, do not kill the meritorious officials of the founding of the country, and treat them well? How many emperors can be as good at adagement like Li Shimin, and encourage his ministers not to worry about his gentleman's face? Before this dynasty, which dynasty had come out of Wei Zheng, who dared to spit on the king like this? How many kings have been friends with their courtiers and relatives, and they have been the same for decades?

Who else can have the self-confidence and heroism of "the towering giant tree, never the sky"?!

"Hangtow, long live my emperor, long live!"

"I'm lucky to meet Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "I am lucky to meet a good minister like you!"
