In the early Han Dynasty, historical records say that Liu Bang was trapped on Baishan Mountain. Relying on Chen Ping's beauty trap, Liu Bang and Chen Gong ran away, giving people the impression that the Han Dynasty was too weak, so they had a marriage.
In fact, in the Battle of Baishan Mountain, Liu Bang was trapped on the mountain and could not break out; while Maodun's cavalry, which was dominated by cavalry and had poor attack ability, could not attack Baishan Mountain, and they were in a deadlock.
At this time, reinforcements from the Han Dynasty had arrived nearby.
It is no longer possible to win in vain.
Liu Bang didn't want to fight because he couldn't defeat Mao Dun; Mao Dun didn't want to fight because he couldn't defeat Liu Bang. So Liu Bang took the initiative to ask Chen Ping to send some gifts, beauties, etc. to express peace. And Mao Dun also opened a
The two sides broke up and let Liu Bang leave. The relationship was considered a draw, so they later got married.
In the historical records, Mao Dun was written as a lustful man who could not move when he saw a beautiful woman and just let the enemy go. It was too false. Mao Dun was directly written as King You of Zhou.
If Maodun can really defeat it, it will not be the siege of Baideng, but the shame of Jingkang.
Throughout Chinese history, only strong dynasties can make peace. Liu Bang and the Xiongnu Chanyu fought to a draw, and both sides saw the strength of the other. Liu Bang did not want to fight anymore in his later years, so he resorted to peace. Songtsen Gampo asked Li Shimin for a peace, but was rejected.
Songtsan Gampo fought a war with the Tang Dynasty (lost). Li Shimin saw that Songtsan Gampo had some courage, so he agreed to make peace. However, some weaker dynasties such as the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty were not qualified to make peace with him.
As for discord in the Ming Dynasty, it is not necessary in the early stage but impossible in the later stage.
The scholar-bureaucrats used integrity and morality to kidnap the marriage, and everyone in the Ming Dynasty regarded the marriage as a shame. The more urgent the situation was, the more the Ming Dynasty refused to make the marriage and resolutely resisted.
By the late Ming Dynasty, it no longer had the strength to make peace. Chongzhen sent Chen Xinjia to negotiate peace with Hou Jin. After he was discovered, Chen Xinjia became the scapegoat. In fact, the Ming Dynasty's officials were so powerful that they did not even agree to move the capital to Nanjing, let alone peace.
Chongzhen wanted to preserve the Ming Dynasty, and he could use any method, but the officials did not agree. There is a certain truth to Chongzhen's saying that "the ministers misunderstood me", but it was Chongzhen who was responsible for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
Don't feel humiliated when marriage comes up, and trade women for peace.
Don't be too impatient, it's about integrity, morality and the like.
Those who care about integrity are censors and angry youths, and those who care about morality are great Confucians.
What a true politician needs is to maximize national interests. Blind pursuit of fame will only lead to the fate of Chongzhen.
In the eyes of the emperor, there is only one reason for not making peace, and that is that a certain country has no use value.
"Marriage does not mean peace. I don't think that relying on the charm of a woman can stop the war between the two countries... After all, there has to be a fight. Both countries will be tired from the fight, and then there will be peace!" Li Mu said: "It's going to happen again.
There’s a war!”
As I said this, I thought of nuclear weapons. Nuclear peace means peace.
Although this is a tightrope walk for peace, at least it is peace.
"This time, the second prince's delegation is here, and you are responsible for receiving it!" King Zhenbei said.
"I'll receive it!"
Li Mu frowned slightly, he did not want to participate in such a diplomatic event.
"The king does not see the king... In this mission, there is a heavenly being sitting in charge of his son. It is not easy for me to participate. The king does not see the king. It is just right for you to participate. It is not too strong, and it is not too weak! If you lose, the impact will be
It’s not a big deal; if we lose, it won’t be a big problem either!” King Zhenbei said.
"Understood!"
Li Mu nodded and began to arrange the reception work.
…………
Three days later, the hoofbeats of the horses struck their master. There was an overwhelming sound in the distance, and the war horses were roaring in unison. There was a team of about five thousand people, approaching, with knights and carriages, with a mighty aura, exuding an extraordinary aura. From a distance, look
A young man with pigtails arrived, with a powerful aura and a hint of terror. He was the second prince.
"Why the second prince...not the eldest prince!" Li Mu suddenly asked.
"The eldest prince was beaten to death... so the second prince came to the throne!" King Zhenbei said: "Of course, the Yuantu Kingdom is a barbarian country. It does not pay attention to the respect of the descendants, but only the strong and the weak. Whoever is strong will win.
It’s the kind of superiority where the father kills the son, the son kills the father, the brother kills the brother, the chaos is like an animal!”
"It is said that it is getting better now!"
With that said, King Zhenbei disappeared.
Li Mu walked down the tower and went to greet him.
When Li Mu arrived at the city gate to greet him, the troops in the city were on guard to prevent accidents and the worst possible situation.
Da da da!
The hoofs of the horses were beating, and the war horse stood at Li Mu's position. The second prince got off the horse, led the horse forward and said, "You are Li Mu, the prefect of Tianshui County!"
"Yes, I am Li Mu!"
Li Mu said.
"I'm going to the capital to propose marriage, and I'm passing through Tianshui County temporarily. Sorry to bother you!" said the second prince.
"Prince, please come in as a guest from afar!" Li Mu said.
With that said, the two of them walked side by side into the city gate.
This prince is humorous and extremely elegant, like a learned Confucian scholar, giving people the impression of being polite. It is not easy to get married, and it is not easy to marry a princess, even though this princess may be a fake princess.
But without certain literary accomplishment and certain cultural foundation, how can it be possible?
Li Mu was also talking, talking about Confucianism, talking about poetry... After all, he was born in Tanhua, so his literary level was not something to speak of.
After talking for a while, the two people immediately said that they had met each other late.
"How wonderful it would be if there were no wars in the world and peace between the two countries!" Li Mu suddenly said.
The second prince said: "I come for marriage, and I also come for peace!"
Li Mu sighed: "I hope so!"
As they walked, the second prince suddenly asked: "If you were your Excellency, how would you choose? Should you sacrifice one person to save ten thousand people, or sacrifice ten thousand people to save one person?"
"There is no difference between one person and ten thousand people. If it is used to measure, it is a sin in itself!" Li Mu said.
The second prince asked again: "What if I have to make a choice?"
Li Mu said: "If that person is my father, wife, lover, son, etc., I will say that the lives of ten thousand people are worth one life; if that person has nothing to do with me, I will naturally say that I have to take the overall situation into consideration and have the courage to sacrifice.
One person, for the benefit of ten thousand people! If the matter does not concern himself, he can naturally take care of the overall situation; but if it does not concern himself, then the overall situation is not important, I am the most important. In other words, I am the overall situation... without me, there is no overall situation!"
The second prince asked again: "Then what is good and evil in your eyes?"
Li Mu was silent for a moment and then said: "Those who are good to me are good, those who are evil to me are evil, and those who sin against me are sins. The way of human heart and heaven is nothing more than this!"
