Throughout the ages, anyone who can achieve outstanding achievements in politics must not only have outstanding abilities, but also have acting skills that can confuse the real with the fake.
Many times, a thousand words are worth less than a drop of tears...
Therefore, Changsun Wuji's words at this moment were full of grief and anger, and his emotions were intense. When the emotion was intense, he shed a few tears of compassion, wrapping his heart with compassion for all living beings. No one was surprised.
What's particularly important is how much of his sincere cry was meant to suppress the navy, and how much was from the bottom of his heart, which is elusive and impossible to fathom.
Because almost everyone present felt palpitated by the fire that soared into the sky in Jian'an City in the distance. This kind of power that destroyed the heaven and earth, and countless creatures were swallowed up by the flames and howled, really touched the softest parts of people's hearts and raised a sense of intolerance.
.
The so-called "killing people without blinking their heads" refers to veterans who have been tumbling through blood and fire. They can face the enemy without blinking and be slaughtered alive. However, such a miserable way of death is harmful.
and.
The generals complained about "corrupt Confucianism", scolded those Confucianists for their kindness to women all day long, and advocated that "people who are not from our tribe must have different hearts." However, deep down, they are often more or less influenced by Confucian culture.
It is difficult to transcend the moral system constructed by Confucianism.
The Chinese nation has been influenced by Confucian culture. Although it lacks the spirit of enterprising and expansion, it has also been truly compassionate and compassionate. It has never lost its nature and is greedy for profit. It will not take pride in plundering and openly regard stolen things as its own.
Shameless.
"Benevolence", the core of Confucian culture, has long been infiltrated into the bone marrow of the Chinese nation and is passed down through the blood from generation to generation.
Therefore, Changsun Wuji's behavior makes it difficult to distinguish between true and false, or perhaps half true and false...
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a long time, and the soaring firelight of Jian'an City in the distance was reflected in his eyes, and then he said: "God has the virtue of good life, this is true. However, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of millions of subjects are serving me.
I am the Supreme, and my responsibility is to give my subjects a stable and prosperous life. Goguryeo dominates Liaodong and has strong soldiers and horses. It has already become a serious problem for the Tang Dynasty. If it cannot be eliminated, sooner or later it will invade the Central Plains and drink from the Yellow River. By that time, Goguryeo will
Will people pay attention to 'benevolence' and 'forgiveness' like the people of the Tang Dynasty? No. They drink blood like hair and drink blood. They don't know etiquette. They only see plunder and killing. When their horse hooves traverse the mountains and rivers of China, they will be accompanied by mountains and rivers.
The corpses and flowing blood! The sons of China will be slaughtered and enslaved like livestock!"
His eyes were bright, he looked around and said loudly: "Now I am going on a personal expedition, summoning millions of tigers and warriors, and marching eastward. I am not only doing this unparalleled feat, but also to stop wars and eliminate disasters with war! On the battlefield.
, fighting against each other, either you will die or I will die. If you are not careful, you will repeat the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty. Under such circumstances, everyone naturally rushes to the front and kills the enemy with all their strength. How can there be any thought of mercy in the heart?
Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself! The power of fire bombs is certainly harmful to the harmony of heaven and earth, but for the sake of China's future, even if heaven punishes us below, let me, the emperor, bear the burden!"
The words are sonorous and the spirit is powerful!
The hearts of all the generals were agitated, and their blood was flowing. They all bowed and said loudly: "I am willing to expand the territory for your majesty, and I will consider death as home!"
His Majesty Li Er's impassioned words immediately shattered all the hesitations caused by Changsun Wuji in everyone's hearts!
What is too much killing and what harms the peace of the world is all caused by a dog-eat-dog army marching eastward with a million troops. It is already a war between countries with victory and no defeat. If the war is defeated, the consequences will most likely be the same as those of the Sui Dynasty.
Generally, all domestic conflicts will break out, and then the country will be in chaos, wars will be everywhere, and the good and prosperous situation will disappear in an instant.
The destiny of the country is at stake, so where is the time to worry about anything that will harm the peace of the world?
Only by killing the enemy as much as possible and severely damaging the foundation of Goguryeo can the victory of the Eastern Expedition be ensured.
And this is also the unanimous goal pursued by all forces in the DPRK, China, and the military - if the Eastern Expedition is not victorious, how will the merits be shared?
Changsun Wuji was trembling all over, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He looked up at His Majesty Li Er, and when he saw the other person looking down at him, his eyes sparkled, and his warning was undisguised.
"The old minister spoke without reason. I beg your Majesty to convict you!"
With his understanding of His Majesty Li Er, Changsun Wuji understood that he had completely angered the emperor and had to lie on the ground to plead guilty.
His Majesty Li Er in the Taiji Palace may have some kindness and forgiveness in his heart, and he is thinking about starting a good story with his ministers and completing a good story. However, His Majesty Li Er in the military camp is still the ruthless prince who is decisive in killing.
Admiral!
Faced with a choice, Xuanwu sect members would not hesitate to kill brothers and brothers, let alone a minister who disturbed the morale of the army?
Usually at this time, the "pleasure" he did was just to express his attitude of admitting his mistake. As long as someone was around to ask for mercy, the emperor would naturally go along with the situation and not care about it.
However, everyone was silent, and no one came forward to intercede for Changsun Wuji...
His Majesty Li Er sat on the horseback, his eyes flashing and he remained silent.
The river is surging and the breeze is caressing.
Changsun Wuji was sweating profusely, and his heart suddenly became tense.
He naturally knew that His Majesty Li Er had been dissatisfied with him for a long time. Wouldn't he take advantage of today's opportunity to simply kill him on the charge of "confused the morale of the army"?
I seem to be trapped in a cocoon...
He knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and cursed Zhu Suiliang half to death in his heart. The only person here who could intercede for him and give His Majesty Li Er a step down was Zhu Suiliang. However, the scene was silent, and Li Er was followed all the time.
Zhu Suiliang, who was behind His Majesty, was not alive at all and seemed to have completely disappeared.
Little did he know that Zhu Suiliang was looking at the fire in Jian'an City from a distance at the moment, feeling the strong pressure coming from all directions like a tide on the battlefield. Strictly speaking, he was just a cultural person who lacked court experience. How could he know that he should be standing at this moment?
Go out and ask for a few words of love, smooth things over for Changsun Wuji, and give His Majesty Li Er a chance to step down?
But he doesn't understand, but some people do.
Cheng Wu was at a loss when he suddenly felt his father standing next to him touch him. He did not dare to look back, but glanced at his father from the corner of his eye, and then touched him with his toe.
Does father want to stand up and intercede for Changsun Wuji?
This is naturally impossible. The Cheng family's ancestral home is in Luozhou. Cheng Mingzhen has been serving as an official in Shandong since he joined the Tang Dynasty. He is closely intertwined with the Shandong family and has entangled interests. He has never been a member of Changsun Wuji...
Since it is not a plea, it can only add insult to injury.
Cheng Wuting took a step forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is clear that the so-called 'military morale is like a stone', it cannot be shaken, and it is prone to overthrow! Throughout the ages, the victory or defeat of war has never been judged by the number of people. Whether the military morale is strong or not
Whether the morale is high or not is the key to victory. Zhao Guogong's remarks obviously confused the morale of the army. With millions of troops on the march, the soldiers will inevitably be homesick and unaccustomed to the climate. If they continue to listen to Zhao Guogong's words, it is difficult to guarantee that the army's morale will be distracted and morale will collapse. Therefore, in order to stabilize
In order to maintain the morale of the army, I would like to ask your Majesty to kill Duke Zhao to rectify the military law!"
Mother!
Changsun Wuji almost jumped up from the ground, pointed at Cheng Wuting's nose and cursed!
The little thief is indeed the bastard minions of Fang Jun, and he has learned the essence of this method of adding insult to injury!
The most terrible thing is that His Majesty Li Er's face is gloomy and his attitude is ambiguous at the moment. If he really has murderous intentions, it will be very bad. But he just "pleaded for mercy", can he stand up and refute Cheng Wuting's words now? Then
It was too shameless, and it clearly showed that the "pleasure" just now was not from his heart, but was a tactic used to play tricks on the emperor...
Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Suiliang finally understood what had happened, and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhao is compassionate and compassionate, and has unparalleled benevolence. How can he be called a fault? However, Your Majesty, who personally led the expedition, naturally acted arbitrarily and punished
It’s okay, but it must not be too heavy. Zhao Guogong once commanded thousands of troops and horses, and his achievements were in the country. If he is too harsh, it will inevitably destabilize the morale of the army. Your Majesty, please think twice.”
It has to be said that Zhu Suiliang is still quite good. Although he lacks the fighting skills in the court, he is very talented. Cheng Wuting asked Zhang Sun Wuji to kill Zhang Sun Wuji on the grounds of confusing the morale of the army, and he asked to stabilize the morale of the army.
Forgive Changsun Wuji.
The entry point is very good. "Military morale" is what His Majesty Li Er cares about most. As long as the military morale is stable and morale is high, everything else can be tolerated...
