lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!

In Qin Mubai's memorial, three things are narrated.

The first is to plead guilty. Qin Mubai is willing to take responsibility for all the misunderstandings and disturbances caused by the misunderstandings and disturbances caused by the fact that there is no time to report back to the imperial court. In addition, the war ahead has been so unfavorable, leading to the defeat of Dafeichuan, the loss of troops and the loss of power and humiliation of the country, and Qin Mubai is also willing to take responsibility.

Hearing this, Man Chao is full of angry voices!

"Isn't he dead? Why is he alive now, why does he jump out to bear any responsibility?"

"Dafeichuan is lost, Tubo soldiers are coming to Lanzhou in danger, the land of Helong will be lost, and the Hexi Commercial Road will be lost!"

"What a crime!!"

The sudden noise was so unusual that Chu Suiliang couldn't read it anymore.

Li Shimin sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, with an unpredictable smile on his face, neither stopping nor revealing the answer, letting everyone talk about it.

Because of his own mood, it was just this "big ups and downs" just now.

"My colleagues, please stay calm. The memorial is very long. This is just the beginning." Chu Suiliang couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only stop it.

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

The second part of the memorial is a reversal. Let’s start with the first battle between Qin Mubai’s army and Garqin Mausoleum. After the war, Garqin Mausoleum sent people the ashes of the fallen soldiers, and then Qin Mubai found out that the enemy had a secret conspiracy, so he planned to devise a cunning plan and staged a show that deceived the world with falsehood and truth. "Fraud to death" drama. What happened next is known to most people in the DPRK-Qin Mubai "after his death", Dafeichuan has no leader, Li Daozong was in danger and decided to abandon Dafeichuan and retreat to Shanzhou in order to preserve his strength. In fact, this was also Qin Mubai's advance. The purpose of the arrangement is to paralyze the enemy and lure the enemy deep.

Finally, this "fraud to death" drama that deceived the people of the world followed by dancing, deceived the Garqin Mausoleum. When the severe winter is approaching, he led his army to occupy the magpie's nest and stationed in Dafeichuan, and took advantage of the victory to pursue and capture Shanzhou, and took the Helong with one effort! Unexpectedly, the army he sent was in the Magic Moon Valley, and the 150,000 army was wiped out, almost completely wiped out!

Almost at the same time as the Battle of Magic Moon Valley, Qin Mubai sent people to blow up the Buha River near the Dafeichuan army camp, flooding the main force of Tubo, and it succeeded in one fell swoop!

Immediately, Qin Mubai ordered Hou Junji to lead an army to counterattack Dafeichuan and capture the prisoners to regain the lost ground. Garqin Mausoleum led the remnants and fled to Qingrayuan!

Two great victories, annihilated nearly 100,000 enemies, captured more than 50,000 horses, and captured countless horses and equipment.

In the beginning, before Qin Mubai died of fraud, he had already dispatched a brigade of savage soldiers to travel thousands of miles to the mountains and waters, miraculously over the Kunlun Snow Mountain where the birds never crossed, and successfully attacked Golmud! In this act, he took away the old nest of the Garqin Mausoleum and broke his lifeblood!

Nowadays, the 300,000 troops of the Garqin Mausoleum have lost more than half of their food and grass and have lost their defense Qingluoyuan, which has become a lingering trend!

……

Chu Suiliang's voice is already loud and transparent, and the memorials are read here. He is also deeply encouraged and excited, and his words are sonorous, such as hammering and thundering!

Manchu dynasty, civil and military, are all shocking. More than half of the people's eyes widened and their faces were extremely unbelievable, and they stood blankly.

The audience was silent and weird.

Many people present felt scorching and self-confidence on their faces, as if they had been severely scratched...Because of their talents, they were still shouting at Qin Mubai with passionate feelings, "Nothing is wrong!"

Li Shimin looked at the expressions of these people without showing any expressions, but in his heart he was relieved and happy, but he couldn't help but laugh! At this moment, he secretly cursed Qin Mubai in his heart: Hunboy, dare to play tricks when writing memorials! First he devalued himself and became a national sinner with thousands of swords and swords, and then began to brag about his achievements! ...... It's a big deal, first suppress and then rise, haha! His temper is really different from his straight-forward father! ——But I like it! This memorial is clearly written for the civil and military of the Manchu dynasty. The purpose is to hold the mouths of some people and make me proud! Because I have always advocated the use of force to resolve the dispute between the two countries. Qin Mubai won, it proves that I was right, that is, I won; those in the center of the DPRK who are the leaders and factions must shut up! ......In this way, ability is of course important, but doing things with others does require some skills. In this regard, Qin Mubai is really better than his straight-forward and fiery father! But there is one thing that their father and son are the same, that is, they will put themselves in the place for my sake! ...

The third part of the memorial is to ask the court to give a plan for handling post-war matters, and to provide timely support for food, medicine, and various military materials. Two great victories in Magic Moon Valley and Dafeichuan wiped out nearly 100,000 enemies and another forty to fifty thousand prisoners. The courts of the Central Plains have always been very sensitive to the issue of prisoners of war, especially those of the Tang Dynasty, which "ruled the country with benevolence and filial piety, and ruled the world with kingly authority". Frontier generals are afraid to commit suicide easily, otherwise they will be put on a high hat resembling modern "anti-humanity", and it is common for them to be impeached and punished.

So before Hou Junji led the army, Qin Mubai solemnly urged him "not to kill innocent people." First, it was to avoid the killing of prisoners and arouse the anger of the Tubo people and increase resistance to the plateau; second, if these prisoners of war could be recruited, they would be first-class cavalry; third, Qin Mubai also didn't want to be extravagant. ,court disaster.

Furthermore, the bitter trick of flooding the Dafeichuan River was a big defeat of the enemy's army, but it also ruined this place that had been operating for many years. Now that the army is severely short of food and supplies, it is imperative to rebuild the military fortress. Therefore, Qin Mubai made it very clear in the memorial that he requested the court to provide food and supplies as soon as possible to prepare for another battle and expand the results of the battle.

……

The memorial is finished, the whole hall is quiet. "Qing Qing, why don't you speak?" Li Shimin said.

Hundred officials were able to save their own minds. Many people awkwardly hit a few haha, and then shouted "Long live Datang, Long live my emperor" to celebrate this great victory.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair peacefully, like a torch, with his eyes quietly sweeping across the civil and military of the dynasty, and all sentient beings had a panoramic view.

The first minister, his elder brother, Situ, the prime minister, and grandson Wuji, bowed his head and stood with his hands down, silent.

"Auxiliary machine, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked by name.

Changsun Wuji seemed to have expected the emperor to ask questions by name. At this time, he stood up and replied: "Returning to your majesty, the minister thinks that Lanzhou has won a great victory, and it is gratifying! This is a rare victory in recent years, enough to inspire officials. People and power the world. The court should reward the three armies based on their merits and deeds. In addition, the materials needed before the war should be prepared and transported as soon as possible to alleviate the urgent needs of the frontline soldiers!"

"Hmm..." Li Shimin replied, frowning as if he was displeased, some words came to his lips, and he finally endured it. At this time, he said in his heart: He said this is equivalent to not saying it! Now his face should be the most dull, because he tried his best to prevent the war... Now, I will not taunt him. Be forgiving and forgiving. After all, he is still my most powerful and loyal minister, and the center of the Tang Dynasty cannot be separated from him. Not to mention anything else, just referring to the new law that he recently compiled and completed, it is much more perfect and suitable than the "Wu De Law" of the first emperor, and it can be implemented and promulgated immediately. Ten Qin Mubai couldn't do such a thing.

At this point of thinking, Li Shimin's heart moved inexplicably: strange, when did I begin to compare Qin Mubai with Changsun Wuji? ...

"Your Majesty, the Weichen has something to play!!" Suddenly a high-pitched sound drew everyone's attention.

When Li Shimin saw it, it was Liu Ji, the servant in the palace. He is exclusively responsible for the supervision of the court when discussing politics, correcting the king's gains and losses, recording major decisions, and also has the power to report and impeach officials in the court.

At the time of Zhenguan, Li Shimin opened up a wide range of words and was good at receiving advice, so he created many ministers who were brave enough to enter advice and dare to enter advice.

And Liu Ji is one of them. He has always been known for his courage and integrity. Whether he is the emperor or the prime minister or general, Yang or his personal friends, as long as he makes a mistake, he will refute or impeach him unselfishly and relentlessly. Although his talent and fame are far less than Wei Zheng, he is very similar to Wei Zheng on the point of "admonition", and even worse.

In recent years, Wei Zheng is senile and suffers from eye diseases. Most of the time, he can only recuperate at home. Shi Yushi Liu Ji, gradually became the most dazzling upward-admonish officer.

When Liu Ji came out, everyone, including Li Shimin, was stuck. This person has always been good at picking the bones in the egg, and he is right and wrong. He dares to say everything and anyone dares to impeach him. A few years ago, he wanted to impeach two people in a memorial, namely, Jiangxia Wang Li Daozong and Hejian Wang Li Xiaogong. These are the two clan relatives closest to and respected by both Emperor Xiandi and Li Shimin, as well as the two founding fathers who are famous for Yu Nei Gong. Although he was unsuccessful in the end, Liu Ji became famous since then. Anyone who sees him will feel a little bit embarrassed.

"Si Dao (Liu Ji's words) have anything to say, let's talk about it." Li Shimin said.

"Weichen, want to impeach someone!" Liu Ji said in a loud voice.

Many people started wiping sweat secretly on their foreheads...here again!

"Who?" Li Shimin asked lightly.

"This is the one who played this military report, Kansai Road Marching Chief, Qin Mubai!" Liu Ji said astonishingly.

Now even the eldest Sun Wuji has a big head, but he can only smile bitterly on the sidelines.

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

"Training the people and hurting the wealth, the poor soldiers! To deceive the king and mess up the world!" Liu Jie said sixteen words at a halt, as always, turbulent and unreasonable.

Many people couldn't laugh or cry, and while secretly scolding Liu Ji for not knowing the current affairs, they also signed up to watch the excitement and watch the changes.

Actually, most people have thought of one thing in their hearts. The emperor is already preparing for his personal conquest with great fanfare. There has always been no joking about the king, and he will do what he says. No matter what the reason, a king's self-destruction of his previous promise is always a dishonest act and damages the king's power. In addition, by the Weishui River outside Chang'an city, 300,000 troops were ready to go. The materials raised by the national treasury were piled up like a mountain. Even the grains stored in the Heluo granary were taken out. In addition, countless people’s mules and horses were recruited. In fact, it is "labor the people and hurt the money." And earlier, Li Shimin had already preached the imperial decree to order the world, and all the people of the country responded, and now they are all looking at Li Shimin eagerly, and the imperial driver is asking him!

Now, when Qin Mubai sent a paper army report, it made the emperor change his mind and let the enthusiastic 300,000 army get out of his armies after hearing the wind. Li Shimin's previous determination and decisiveness appeared to be a farce and irony. Up!

For the emperor, this is indeed a shameless thing. And the Manchu civil and military who have been busy for ten days will feel even more teased. The courtiers all paid attention to the status of the ruler and the court. At this time, people like Liu Ji jumped out for impeachment, but it was also Li Shimin's expectation.

So Li Shimin was prepared. At this time, facing the various thoughts of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, his Zhizhu waved his hand while holding the eight winds, "I see, you go back."

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, thinking, "Why are you telling me to quit, I haven't finished talking yet", but he had no choice but to temporarily retreat to the class train with interest.

"I know that Liu Ji has spoken out the aspirations and thoughts of many people." Li Shimin said eloquently, "As everyone knows, I have planned to impose a personal conquest, and everything is ready. Within ten days, the Weishui camp has gathered 300,000. The army is now suddenly self-destroyed. The preface is not personally conscripted. It costs a lot of money and food. It seems that I, you, and the people of the world have also been mocked. All this seems to be caused by Qin Mubai’s fraudulent death. So there is Liu Jie enumerated his four major crimes-laboring the people and hurting the wealth, arrogant soldiers and martial arts! To deceive the king and mess up the world!"

Everyone was speechless, listening quietly. Because they heard it, the emperor must have something to say. Liu Ji still wanted to argue a few words, but was stunned by the grandson Wuji next to him, and he had to press it down.

"Actually, Liu Ji, you made a mistake. The last person to be impeached is Qin Mubai. Even if you want to be impeached, it should be the impeachment of King Jiang Xia, and I!" Li Shimin also said astonishingly Up.

Liu Ji was taken aback. He was bold enough, but he was not big enough to impeach the emperor. Right now he knelt down and said in panic: "Weichen dare not!"

"When you get up, I am not blaming you. As the servant of the palace, you are just doing your duty and are not at fault. However, I want to remind you that it is not too late to understand the twists and turns before impeachment. "Li Shimin said, "All Aiqing must have the same thoughts as Liu Jie in their hearts. Then, let me solve the knot for you!"

"I wish to hear from your Majesty!" All the civil and military pledged. Liu Ji also stood up and stood aside and listened.

"The soldiers are deceitful, and the soldiers are not tired of deceit. Soldiers are impermanent and unsatisfactory. Therefore, the art of war is that the generals are outside, and the king's fate is not. This is not that the generals despise the king when he is outside, but that the two armies are facing changes The fighter plane is fleeting, and it is too late to ask the emperor for permission." Li Shimin said, "I am an emperor on the horse, and I deeply agree with this. How could Qin Mubai, who was far in Dafeichuan use his plan to break the enemy, ask for an order? Ask Ji Yuzhen? This memorial and the imperial decree must have missed the battle opportunity. Therefore, Qin Mubai's death was just to deceive the Tubo people, and it was excusable if he did not have time to inform Yu Zhen in time. And this is the case. The secret plan, the fewer people who know, the greater the chance of success. Qin Mubai did not do anything wrong."

After hearing the words, all the civil servants thought about it, and the emperor's words really made sense.

Li Shimin continued to say: "And I and you were deceived and teased because of this. One is to blame Jiangxia King Li Daozong for misreporting the frontline military affairs in advance. He is so uncomfortable when he is a few dozen years old. He would definitely meet to denounce him, but he would not be impeached. Because at that time, even he was deceived, believing that Qin Mubai was dead and the Guanxi Army was in danger of defeating Lanzhou Helong. He asked the court early. Reinforcement is also where the duty lies. In the final analysis, no matter whether it is the deception of me, Jiangxia King, All Aiqing, and the people of the world, this is not Qin Mubai's original intention. His purpose is only to break the enemy! But this is exactly what happened. It proves that he is so ingenious that he is not tired of deceit-even I can lie, can the Tubo people fail to get it? So there are two great victories in Magic Moon Valley and Dafeichuan!"

"As a king, today's saints do have a different mindset from ordinary people!" Many people began to sigh with emotion. They were teased for a while, but the emperor would be annoyed and depressed even if he had the best temper. In trying to excuse Qin Mubai, even the thing about himself being played around was lightly said.

"In this way, Liu Ye's count of Qin Mubai's crimes of'deceiving the emperor and confuse the world' is a bit far-fetched. As for the poor soldiers, this is even less dependent on Qin Mubai's head." Li Shimin said "It was the Tubo people who attacked the Tang Dynasty first, and then I ordered him to fight back on the spot to protect the territory. This is also considered a poor soldier? If it is counted, then the first part of this crime should be counted on me. It hurts the people and money, this It is even more impossible to talk about it. When did Qin Mubai once said that he asked me to send 300,000 troops and bring countless money and food to help? All these are my propositions, and Qin Mubai has no idea so far. Love. What's wrong with him?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin smiled and said in a relaxed and witty tone: "Liu Ji, I will give you an analogy. It is like you planted a tree somewhere ten years ago. Someone hangs on this tree. Should you be punished by law or condemned by morals?"

"Hahaha!" The civil and military man in the dynasty burst into laughter, and Liu Ji's face turned blue.

"Chu Suiliang!"

"Weichen is here!"

"Today's court meeting, presumably you have already been recorded. What I say next, you have to mark it out, and I will write it in the "Emperor Fan" in the future to warn my descendants and kings. "Li Shimin said, "For the emperor, the most important thing is not the literary and military talents, nor the mentality of the city, but the knowledge!"

"Weichen took it down!"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile on his face, and said: "I will use the tree analogy again, Quandang talked and laughed with all the Aiqing. If a tree grows among thorns and rocks, or is planted in a small courtyard It must not grow taller within. On the contrary, if it grows in the vast wilderness and fertile soil, it may grow into a towering giant tree. If a courtier is like a tree, then the king’s mind is the environment in which it grows. I am not afraid. You grow up to the sky and huge, because my mind is as high as the sky! Towering giant trees, but the sky!-I, why mediocre people trouble yourself!"

In a word, the civil and military people of the whole dynasty were deeply moved and encouraged. Who can not like such a king?

From ancient times to the present, how many emperors like Li Shimin did not shy away from making great achievements, not killing the founders of the country, and treating them favorably? How many emperors can abide by their own body and be good at accepting advice like Li Shimin, and encourage his courtiers not to worry about his Junyan just admonish? Before this dynasty, which dynasty was there, such as Wei Zheng, who dared to spit against the king? How many more kings, and their subjects are as close as family members, and they have remained the same for decades?

Which king can still have the confidence and boldness of "towering giant trees, but the sky"? !

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The minister waits to meet your majesty, three lives are fortunate!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "I, it's a blessing to meet a good minister like you!"
