Chapter 257 The Bearded Guest Li Shimin

There is no need for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to order.

The bitter Qingre Pills were poured out of Sun Simiao's small bottle and given to Li Shimin with water.

After the bitter pills went into his stomach, Li Shimin also racked his brains to figure it out:

Why?

Let alone in the future, he is now treating Hou Junji with favor.

His merit in Xuanwu Gate ranked first, and he was conferred the title of Duke of Lu. Recently, Fang Xuanling has been going through the recommendation process and intends to recommend Hou Junji as the Minister of War.

And looking at the records of the history of this light curtain, the destruction of Tuyuhun can be called a merit, and the destruction of Gaochang was a move against all odds, which further highlights the honor and favor.

As a result, he allowed his soldiers to plunder, privately punished prisoners, and felt resentful, and finally wanted to use the sword to attack the inside?

Li Shimin didn't want to think about whether Hou Junji's plan was to stain the palace with blood, or to ask him to be the emperor again?

In comparison, although Li Shimin vomited blood for Li Chenggan's rebellion, he was not completely unacceptable.

After all, it was vaguely mentioned a long time ago, and then compared with the history of the Li crown prince.

And the father-son conflict between Cao Pi and Cao Rui, as seen from the perspective of later generations, and Zhuge Wuhou's assistance to Liu Chan.

Li Shimin felt that he had found some tricks, although not much.

The previous educational direction was to hope that Cheng Gan could surpass himself.

But now it seems so difficult.

Therefore, there was a move to let the princes and princesses have fun together during the New Year, and now it seems that there is still some effect.

And Hou Junji... Li Shimin's eyes stayed on Yuchi Jingde for a while.

This fierce general and Li Shimin had a tacit understanding, and he immediately stood up:

"I will order people to prepare fast horses, and we will capture the thief and return in three days at the latest!"

After a silence, he finally shook his head:

"Not yet."

After all, it has only been four years since Xuanwu Gate.

However, in order to save Hou Junji's head, it is indeed time to find a reason to give him a good beating.

After all, later generations also say that those who conquer the world will rule the country.

Without the meritorious reputation accumulated by defeating Xue Rengao, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Heita and others,

Do you really think that you can ascend to heaven and sit firmly on the throne just by relying on Xuanwu Gate?

So Yuchi Jingde could only sit down again. Qin Qiong smiled and patted the back of Yuchi Jingde's hand, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Your Majesty is nostalgic."

This can basically be regarded as a recognized fact that the group of brothers in the Qin Wangfu at the beginning now have a good place to go.

This is also the reason why no one stood up to speak for Hou Junji.

One is that he knows that His Majesty will only give a slight punishment after a lot of hesitation, and it is impossible to punish him without guilt.

The other is that he dislikes Hou Junji's behavior in the light curtain. Isn't this kicking everyone's pot?

"Quan Wanji, I remember it should be Quan Huai'en's great-uncle. I heard that he was a strong-willed person, but he suffered such a disaster."

"I also remember this person. Quan Huai'en has a good reputation since he entered the Qin Wangfu. He once followed the master to suppress Wang Shichong."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both skipped the vulgar words that "Chenggan is having sex with men" lightly and tacitly, which could give His Majesty a headache.

But Du Ruhui had a guess in his heart that his descendants were involved in this rebellion, right?

[Although the plan of rebellion has not been implemented, it is also rebellion, and he should be beheaded according to the crime.

Li You, a smart man, rebelled vigorously and was sentenced to death.

There are two people who support Li Chenggan's direct rebellion, Hou Junji and Li Hanchang.

Li Hanchang is Li Yuan's seventh son. After the rebellion, he was sentenced to death at home.

Hou Junji's family was exiled to Lingnan, and he was at ease on the road at the execution ground.

Li Chenggan was a special case. After all, he was the son of Empress Changsun. Li Shimin asked the Dali Temple to discuss again and again, and finally saved him and exiled him to Lingnan.

In addition, the descendants of two important ministers were affected.

Du Ruhui's son Du He was also a core member of the rebellion. He was beheaded and Du Ruhui's eldest son Du Gou was also implicated.

Du Gou originally inherited his father's Duke of Lai and served as the governor of Cizhou. As a result, he was implicated in his brother's rebellion, was stripped of his official title, and his family was exiled to Lingnan.

Li Jing's eldest son Li Dejian was also implicated because of his close relationship with Li Chenggan. He was sentenced to exile in Lingnan, but he was eventually moved to Wujun for Li Jing's face. 】

"Well, he is exiled to our side."

Zhang Fei whispered, thinking that the Tang Dynasty was crazy enough.

"The general rebelled, the crown prince rebelled, the prince rebelled, and the emperor's brother rebelled."

The local Zhang Song still had some opinions:

"General Yide, Yizhou is still much better than Lingnan."

Although Zhang Song also knew that not everyone was familiar with geography, many people probably thought that everything south of the Central Plains was considered Lingnan...

Pang Tong's face was full of gossip, and he said:

"The Tang Dynasty did not escape this after all, and the incident of the Li Crown Prince was repeated."

And this light curtain is also worthy of the influence of later generations. The perception is much clearer than the incident of the Li Crown Prince in the history books, Pang Tong thought.

Kong Ming sighed, thinking that there were too many people who were full and had nothing to do.

Look at how noble Prime Minister Zhuge is, holding all the affairs of a country in his hands, working hard, and dying early.

Look at him, Kong Ming, the military advisor, simply ignores all the affairs of Jingxiang, and divides most of the work of Yizhou.

Study the words of the light curtain, read the later sayings, and then find the difficult problems left by the sages from the pile of old papers, and then teach them, how happy and carefree.

Moreover, Hou Junji is Li Shimin's original follower, and should know the methods of this wise and capable monarch the most. How could he come up with such a stupid idea?

The people in the Chengdu government office just sighed, but did not think it was so exciting.

After all, looking at the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin through the light curtain feels like looking at flowers in the mist.

But if it is a trick, Li Shimin is to Emperor Xiaowu, Li Chengqian is to the violent prince, and Li Jing is to Wei Huo.

It seemed that was enough, so they guessed 70% to 80% of the reason for Li Chengqian's rebellion almost instantly.

So I suddenly felt a little sympathetic.

…

Li Shimin in Ganlu Hall has already adjusted.

But look at Du Ruhui with straight eyes, and then look at Li Jing with a wooden face.

Li Shimin could only try his best to guarantee:

"I will try my best to teach Chengqian so that this will not happen."

[Let’s put aside the matter of Hou Junji for now and continue talking about Li Jing.

After "Jiahua of Sui and Tang Dynasties", the Tang Dynasty also created another famous image of Li Jing.

That is "The Biography of the Qiu Bearded Guest" written in the late Tang Dynasty. This story is relatively simple.

Li Jing, a poor boy in white, went to visit Yang Su, the great minister in the late Sui Dynasty. He was so surprised that he was able to talk to Yang Su with only a few words.

However, in the official history, Yang Su had already died, so reading the opening chapter, you can tell that it is a fiction.

Li Jing failed to convince Yang Su, but he was impressed by Zhang Chuchen, a prostitute in Yang Su's house. This girl was also called the red whisk girl because she always carried a red whisk.

After checking Li Jing's residence, he went to seek refuge that night, and almost spent the whole night praying to the heaven and the earth. The hero and the beauty became a couple.

Hong Fu Nu had extraordinary insight and said that Yang Su was not good enough, the Sui Dynasty was about to send it, and Li Shimin of Taiyuan had the appearance of the emperor, so let's go and join him.

Then they met a bearded guest on the way, and the three of them went to find Li Shimin together. However, the bearded guest who originally wanted to dominate the world gave up his heart when he saw Li Shimin.

After telling Li Jing to assist Li Shimin in conquering the world and donating all his property to Li Shimin, the bearded man bought a boat and went to sea.

The story ends in the tenth year of Zhenguan. Li Shimin became the Khan of Heaven and commanded all directions. The Qiubeard conquered the Fuyu Kingdom and became the king overseas.

Simple stories often become very interesting when connected with the times.

Some people speculate that the prototype of the fictional character Qiu Bearker is actually Li Shimin.

Because it is recorded in "Youyang Zazu" that "Taizong often played with bows and arrows".

The bearded man in "The Story of the Bearded Man" will kill his enemies and then use his heart and liver to drink wine. He will also have evil thoughts when he first meets a red-haired girl.

Murderous, unyielding, and sometimes disgraceful in his actions, this is the label of the bearded man, and it can be applied almost seamlessly to Li Shimin.

Therefore, it can be seen that the creation of this novel is splitting Li Shimin into two parts.

Li Shimin, who was wild, vindictive, and particularly capable of fighting, became a bearded man, left the Central Plains, and conquered the Fuyu Kingdom.

Buyeo was closely adjacent to Goguryeo, and Erbong's biggest military regret in his later years was that he failed to destroy Goguryeo.

After the characteristics of the bearded guest were stripped away, only Li Shimin, who was generous, kind, humbly accepting of advice, and eventually became a model emperor.

Considering that this novel was written after the Anshi Rebellion, it vividly expresses the complex mentality of people in the late Tang Dynasty:

When the two phoenixes were there, they didn't notice any difference. After the two phoenixes died, they didn't see any difference.

And Li Jing once again became the winner in life.

He is many years younger, has a beautiful woman in his arms, has conquered the world and become famous, and is still called brother to the king, which is enviable. 】

The original text of this novel was also slowly released in the light curtain.

Li Shimin was originally reading with great interest, but when he saw the light screen saying that this petty, lustful, cannibalistic bearded man was him, he became anxious:

"Absolutely impossible!"

Sun Simiao, who was wandering in the sky, curled his lips in his heart, leaving aside the cannibalism for now.

Small-minded and lustful, it seems...

Li Jing finally figured out a question about why he had an extra wife called Hong Fu Nu.

In my heart, I felt it was particularly funny. After hearing what Guangmu said about His Majesty’s regrets, he also smiled and said:

"If I could really be twenty years younger, I would definitely help your majesty destroy Goguryeo!"

Su Lie nodded fiercely: I believe what the old general said, please be sure to bring one with me!
