Chapter 319: Political incompetence, not high emotional intelligence
As the saying goes, there is no good opponent for fighting, and no good words for insulting each other. Since both sides have become life-and-death enemies, no one should point at the other to leave you room.
Ordinary jailers would not be as patient as Li Chengqian when encountering such a master. They are all action-oriented and like to take matters into their own hands and get everything they want to know, just like Li Ke.
But there are some people in this world who refuse to accept soft talk. The black and white faces of brothers Li Chengqian and Li Ke did not make the three of them loose at all. No, as soon as they took a breath, they started to challenge Li Chengqian again.
Seeing the three people being so arrogant, the lungs of brothers Li Ke and Li You were about to explode, especially Li You's chest rising and falling like a bellows being pulled. Li Chengqian had a special status in his heart, and he would never allow any
A man humiliates his brother in this way.
So, he pulled out the knife in his hand and put it on Du Junde's neck, and said harshly: "Du, don't be so shameless. My eldest brother, Corporal Li Xian, your fifth master doesn't have a good temper.
If you tell me now, you can just pay it back. If you don't, I will kill you right here."
Du Junde and the others didn't take Li You's threat seriously, especially Xu Shaoan, who laughed wildly: "Kid, you have calmed down today. You have forgotten what a bear you were in the Jigong Mountain formation. You and Li
No one is qualified to talk to us.
Li Chengqian, have Jiangnan's taxes been lost now? Do you think we are qualified to talk to you alone?"
Oh, this is why these three sentimental people are so confident. They or the person behind the plan have figured out Li Chengqian's shortcomings, and neither the emperor nor he will give up easily.
Interestingly, it seems that their goal this time is not just for the money, "he" is also very interested in himself. In this way, this game was set up for himself from the beginning.
After a while, Li Chengqian chuckled, and then waved his hand to the people in the execution room, indicating that they should leave first.
Interrogation is also a kind of communication. If you are afraid of not getting in, since you are willing to draw a clear path, then why not talk about it.
"Brother, what's there to talk about with them? Brother Yichen thinks it's better to continue with the torture." Li You, who couldn't hold himself back, said anxiously from the side. He was worried about leaving Li Chengqian alone with these three desperadoes.
together.
But Li Chengqian looked at Du Junde and the others with bright eyes and a smile on his face. He didn't dare to worry about Li You who was standing aside. He just raised his left hand and waved it gently twice to let them go out.
"Okay, now that you are clean, you three can talk about it. What do you or that person want?"
"Prince of the Tang Dynasty, your Li family has always been famous for its treachery. Why would you choose your own people to attack? If the two generals and I were not sure about going out, how could we dare to go to war with the Tang army head-on!"
Seeing Li Chengqian curl his lips, Du Junde continued with an indignant look: "Boy, don't be dissatisfied. What I said can be traced back. Dou Jiande is your father's uncle, Yang Guang and Li Yuan are cousins."
Bar.
My father has done so much for your Li family and I didn’t let you do it. If you say you are not villains, who is?"
Du Junde said that Li Chengqian knew about this great achievement. When talking about this matter, we have to start from the second year of Wude.
Du Fuwei announced his surrender to Li Tang on September 12, the second year of Wude, and was named Huainan's pacification ambassador. Later, he was gradually promoted to Southeast Daoxingtai, Shangshuling, King of Chu, and finally was promoted to the general manager of Jianghuai in the third year of Wude.
In the military affairs of the south, the King of Wu gave him the surname Li, wrote it in the genealogy, and listed him above King Yuanji of Qi.
Of course, his surrender was only in name. Li Yuan had no right to directly interfere in Jiangnan affairs at that time, so Du Fuwei was still an independent force.
As for why Du Fuwei surrendered to the Tang Dynasty at this time, no one knows, but it was his joining that allowed Li Tang to occupy a dominant position in the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, so that in just a few years, Li Tang dominated the world.
You must know that at that time, Li Tang's strength was far from being able to dominate the world, and was not much stronger than Du Fuwei himself. His hometown of Taiyuan was being attacked by Liu Wuzhou. Dou Jiande of Hebei and Wang Shichong of Henan were also encroaching on the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention unification, even Li Yuan himself did not guarantee that he would not follow the footsteps of other rebel kings.
But just after the situation stabilized, the emperor Li Yuan one-sidedly believed that Fu Gong'er's actions were all instigated by Du Fuwei in Chang'an. Not only did he kill the hero and expropriate his family, he also sent Li Xiaogong to dismember him.
He joined the Jianghuai Army, and it was not until the end of Wude that he learned the true picture of that year from his general Fan Yi.
This piece of sesame seeds and rotten millet was given to Li Chengqian by Zhang Xuansu. The old master believed that Emperor Wude did this to completely control the bottom line of Jiangnan. As a monarch, he could not allow the existence of a country within a country, one country and two masters.
of.
Therefore, they were always extremely harsh on Jiangnan affairs, and the two people who acted as vanguards for the emperor were Pei Ji and Li Xiaogong. However, it was said that Fugong's rebellion was completely forced by them, and their purpose was to solve the Jiangnan problem once and for all.
.
"General Du, Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away. In the era of great strife, every king wanted to take the Yang family and replace it, so that the world could be ruled by one surname. As for the means used, no one cared.
Gu tells you that there is never right or wrong in politics, only success or failure. In other words, it is easy to understand that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. You don’t need to tell me this truth, you should understand it.
Could it be that your father raised the army just to save the suffering people in the world? Do you believe this nonsense? "
While talking, Li Chengqian walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea. After taking a few sips, he said in a deep voice: "The reason why I didn't kill you is because I am interested in the person behind you. Don't think that you are intercepting the tribute from the court."
Yin can use this to hijack the imperial court, and Gu can directly punish the three of you without asking for an order."
Hahaha..., "Boy, if you don't care, just do it. Why bother with me and the other three people here? Since you don't want to kowtow, then there is no need for you to kowtow to the people behind me."
Know.
However, because of the dinner and food just now, I can tell you something. He is more suitable to be an emperor than those two despicable guys in your family, and I believe that he will succeed sooner or later...", wait
After Du Dejun finished speaking, the other two people also laughed. It was obvious that that person gave them great confidence.
Oops, Li Chengqian let out a long sigh and said lightly with a look of regret on his face: "Gu originally had good intentions, but it was helpless that the three generals were so ignorant.
Chapter completed!
