Of course, unlike the timid Cao Dan, Tong Guangshou and others, what Pei Ju thought of was that Li Ding'an's reputation had become even greater in the past two years.
He occupied the Turks in the north and attacked Li Yuan in the south. Not only did he achieve great results, but he also seemed to handle foreign affairs very well. If he could not make good friends with the Turks, how could Her Royal Highness Princess Yicheng of the Turks send the queen back?
He is a person who has made great achievements in Turkic border affairs. Judging from the current situation, it is not a shameful thing to surrender to the Turks. Making peace first and then fighting, or fighting first and then making peace, must be based on local conditions.
For example, when Li Ding'an was in Daizhou, it was not surprising that he wagged his tail to the Turks, but he was able to fight first and then make peace. This was not easy. Obviously Li Ding'an contributed to Princess Yicheng's battle to seize the throne of the Turks, otherwise
If so, why did the stingy and vengeful Turks not come to fight with him, but instead gave Queen Xiao to him? Is it just because he was still flying the flag of the sun, moon and stars?
But having said that, there is no need to make a fuss that Li Ding'an can befriend the Turks. Princess Yicheng became the Turk Khan. So in her eyes, who of the princes in the south is not a traitor? So Li Ding'an has never been king.
It makes sense to get a bargain on Ding'an.
As for how closely Li Ding'an is connected with the Turks, it remains to be seen whether Princess Yicheng can stabilize the Turk tribes and secure her position as the Khan King, and how she will deal with the princes in the north.
A woman actually ascended to the throne of the Turkic Khan. Thinking of this, Pei Ju also sighed secretly. Nowadays, things in the world are really strange and strange, and it is incomprehensible.
"Wang Bo? Meng Jiong?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard these two names.
Pei Ju then squinted his eyes and said in his heart that of course, using the emperor to command the princes... then Li Ding'an's plan was indeed a good idea.
Wang Bo is not a big deal, but he is now the number one rebel in the world. Even Yu Wenhua and his brothers are inferior to him. Why? The reason is very simple. This man was the first to rise up against the Sui Dynasty and even composed a song.
Wuxiang Liaodong's death song was spread for a while.
In terms of status, they are equivalent to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the late Qin Dynasty and Zhang Jiao in the late Han Dynasty. They will definitely be famous in history.
A man cannot be fed by Jiuding when he is alive, and he will be cooked by Jiuding when he dies. Well, these are the people who will be cooked by Jiuding. Whether the others will be well fed and drunk, or cooked for drinking, has not yet been decided.
Of course, Wang Bo is still alive and well now. He belongs to the category with a relatively good fortune. He was chased by Zhang Xutuo before, which implicated many Shandong heroes. When Zhang Xutuo died, something happened.
Yang Yichen was beaten severely again.
Yang Yichen left and came to Yuhuaji again. This time Wang Bo did not escape and surrendered directly to Yuhuaji. When Yuhuaji was defeated, Wang Bo defected to Dou Jiande again and was now stationed in Liaocheng. His life was not very satisfactory.
Therefore, Wang Bo's life or death does not matter. Among the princes in the world, who cares who Wang Bo is? But his head is very symbolic.
As for Meng Jiong, this man has occupied the two states of Cao and Dai for many years. His territory is located on the choke point from Shandong to Hebei. He calls himself King Song Yi, which sounds very good, but in fact he lives in hiding.
day.
When someone comes, he will hide in the ravine. When you leave, he will poke his head out and move around. Well, he is a rather home-loving guy, and his reputation in his hometown is actually very good.
....Obviously, not everyone wants to be king and hegemony, but Meng Jiong just wants to lead people to have enough to eat.
Nowadays, people in Hebei Province ignored Wang Shichong's solicitation and directly surrendered to Dou Jiande. However, Dou Jiande wanted to recruit troops in Cao and Dai states, but this man pushed back and blocked him, which made Dou Jiande very unhappy.
Moreover, he, King Song Yi, was the first king under Dou Jiande. How could this make Dou Jiande's subordinates feel embarrassed? Therefore, as long as Dou Jiande opened his mouth, many people were willing to chop off Meng Jiong's head.
This time, Ling Jing, the servant of the Huangmen, was the first to speak, "This matter is inappropriate. Wang and Meng are attached to the Lord. They have merit but no fault. They are innocent and killed easily. This will definitely make the heroes of the world feel cold. Who will dare to come to join us again?"
Please, my lord, think twice."
Before he finished speaking, the Minister of War over there Gao Yaxian said: "The man surnamed Wang once worked for Yu Wenhua and that traitor. Maybe he offended the queen at some point. And that fellow Meng Jiigong didn't even listen to the emperor's edict, so he kept it.
What's the use? Take their two heads and send them to Li Ding'an, maybe we can get the queen back, wouldn't that be good?"
As soon as these words came out, some guys who only thought about Empress Xiao's beauty smiled strangely and nodded in agreement. They didn't care what Empress Xiao wanted or what Li Ding'an did. In fact, they only thought that Li Ding'an was very difficult to mess with.
If you can get a good relationship with him by sending him two heads, you might as well do it.
Besides, the big leader is obsessed with Queen Xiao...
At this time, Liu Bin, a member of the Zhongshu House, spoke, "Generals, please don't make jokes. Wang Bo is just a repetitive person, but Meng Jiigong has a reputation as a virtuous man, and his execution is unknown. Furthermore, Li Dingan's wolfish ambitions, today he is going to
I beg Wang and Meng, if I agree, what will happen in the future?"
"Showing weakness at this time will not help matters, and will only help others' arrogance, so I think it is best to refuse."
Then someone sneered and said: "We just had a battle with Wang Shichong, if we piss off Li Ding'an again, maybe even the Turks will regard us as enemies. Then I'm afraid Wang Bo and Meng Jiong will be the first to rebel, right?"
Liu Bin turned his head and looked over. The person speaking was Fan Yuan, the commander of the imperial guards and the former leader of the Taihang bandits.
Liu Bin hid the contempt in his eyes and said politely: "General, don't be afraid. Even if Li Ding'an comes to attack, there are always places to hide in the Taihang Mountains...and...when things are urgent, the first person to fight back may not be
Where are Wang and Meng?"
Well, this is just pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey. He is not only ridiculing Fan Yuan's experience as a bandit in Taizhou, but also alluding to the possibility that he is from Jin and betrayed his master and joined Li Ding'an.
He is so angry, it can be seen that the grudge between him and Fan Yuan did not take place in a day or two.
Fan Yuan was furious. He pointed at Liu Bin and cursed. Liu Bin was not a pure scholar. He held down the handle of his sword and retorted. If not for the presence of so many people, they might have drawn out the knife and started a fight.
The two of them were quarreling endlessly, but the others were not afraid of getting into trouble. Cui Junsu, Tong Guangshou and others also joined in. The words you said to each other made sparks fly everywhere. Even Pei Ju, who had been sitting firmly in his position, was almost ignited.
.
Having said this, it can actually be seen that the many contradictions that have formed over the years in the peasant army cannot be resolved overnight.
.... Dou Jiande finally became impatient, stood up, slapped the table and shouted, "Shut up, everyone."
Seeing his anger, the people in the lobby soon became quiet. As a result, Dou Jiande learned another valuable experience. You can't ask so many people to discuss things together, and you can't hear a good idea without speaking.
There may have been internal strife.
He is actually quite pitiful. Along the way, he has carefully absorbed nutrients from experience and lessons, but his growth rate is still a little behind the changes in the general trend of the world.
The path that some people take a lifetime to travel was completed in a few years by him. In fact, neither he nor his subordinates could fully adapt to such a rhythm.
At this time, Dou Jiande first reprimanded Liu Bin, Gao Yaxian, Fan Yuan and others, and ordered them to go back to the military camp to "close up and think about their mistakes". Then he drove away the other officials, leaving only Pei Ju and Cao Dan.
Most of the people were not full, but they were full of anger. Afterwards, some whipped the soldiers, and some chopped off the heads of the attendants. There were so many different things. Even Cui Junsu was no exception. Anger was something he knew how to do.
Infectious.
Dou Jiande actually wanted to kill a few people to calm his depression, but after becoming emperor, he didn't have as many opportunities as before.
When the lobby finally calmed down, he raised his glass and drank two glasses with Pei Ju and Cao Dan to calm down a little, and then asked: "Is Li Ding'an Fei Yi...Fan Erlang is actually right, if Li
Ding'an led his army to attack, but no one can compare to Wang Shichong."
Cao Dan actually knew from one look at his brother-in-law that this old habit of always wanting to bow to others had returned. Moreover, as his power increased, he also paid more and more attention to orthodoxy and family background.
Dou Jiande did make great efforts for this purpose, such as professing his vassalship to Emperor Huangtai of the Eastern Capital, and even made a family tree for himself, saying that he was a descendant of the Fufeng Dou family, and that Dou Rong, the great general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was his ancestor.
Damn it, are all the people with the surname Dou in the world descended from the Fufeng Dou family?
While muttering about the bad things his brother-in-law had done, he said: "Why don't we send an envoy to Jinyang first to find out the news? Li Ding'an is still confronting Li Yuan, so there is no time to look for me."
The trouble of waiting? Maybe one day, I will hear the news of his beheading."
What he said was because he was weak and weak, which was really not commendable. It was obvious that Li Podong had really fooled them when he came out of Hebei.
Dou Jiande blinked a few times and turned to look at Pei Ju.
Pei Ju, an old and cunning man, immediately smiled and said: "My dear brother, this is a very good thing to say. Why not send Liu Bin, a member of Zhongshushe, as the chief envoy, and Wang Bo and Yang Gongren as deputy envoys to Jinyang? What do you think?"
Dou Jiande and Cao Dan were both a little confused, staring at Pei Ju with wide eyes and saying nothing.
Pei Ju thought that they did not understand his profound meaning, so he had to explain, "Liu Zhongshu is eloquent and loyal to the Supreme Being. He will not betray the Supreme Respect."
"Yang Gongren was born into a distinguished family. He was the son of the late Duke Yang, the king of Guan. He went to Jinyang so that he could talk to the queen..."
After Pei Ju finished speaking, Cao Dan over there tugged at his beard fiercely, saying that this man had a vicious mind, and his method of killing people without blood was really... something he had to guard against in the future.
Dou Jiande finally smiled and praised: "My dear, you are so wise, others are not as good as you..."
Pei Ju lowered his head slightly to show humility, but thought in his heart, what does this little thing mean?
