Chapter 196 Interpretation

"Help him? You slander General Li like this, but you said you are helping him?"

Qin Hao spread his hands and said innocently: "Two brothers, don't frame me. When did I slander General Li? Look at the rumors outside, which sentences are slandering General Li? To be honest, some people who slander General Li, who have no intention of doing so, I arrested and beat them up, and those who were malicious in their hearts were arrested directly. Now Du He and Changsun Chong have already arrested nearly a hundred people, and are worried that there is no place to be locked up."

Xu Jie and Su Ding looked at each other, as if this was the case. There are those who praise Li Ji, some who praise Tang Jian, and some who praise them, but they are not praised Li Jing. It gives people the feeling that Li Jing has just been given the title of a chief executive and has won a great achievement for nothing, but it seems that no one has slandered Li Jing.

Qin Hao explained: "Brother Xu and Mr. Su are not outsiders, so I can just make it clearer."

"This time the saint sent a large army of five (or six) to fight against the Turks. Although Li Jing was in charge of the general, they were not in the same relationship with each other. Chai Shao and Li Daozong were both royal relatives, and their qualifications were only higher than Li Jing. Although Li Ji was not an old member of the Qin Palace, he was always the direct general of the saint. Who can suppress him except the saint? Why was the power of restraint this time appointed to Li Jing, rather than Li Xiaogong, who had better qualifications and reputations?"

"To put it bluntly, the saint did not plan to let these five armies be controlled by anyone. Although such a saint was in charge of the capital, the saint was still controlled by the saint in their own strategic direction. This is not the saint's small mind, but the imperial mind skills that a qualified emperor must master. After all, these five armies are already almost all the elites of my Tang Dynasty."

"In the original plan of the saint, although he would win this war, he would never have thought that he would win so quickly and so big! Although this is a great good thing, it is probably beyond the expectations of the saint."

"If it were just a small victory, it would wipe out the shame of the Wei River and teach the Turks arrogance. When the spring of the next year is coming, the natural disaster will pass, and the Tang Dynasty will be ready, and the saints will sit more steadily. The saints will be in charge of the throne of the Eastern Turks again and eliminate the tumor of the Eastern Turks with their own hands, but now this matter has been killed by Li Jing."

"This is certainly a great thing, but it is indeed beyond the expectations of the saint. Li Jing's achievements were only half a head better than the other armies, but this great achievement of suppressing the Turks made him a well-deserved military leader. In comparison, the saint's Hulao Pass Battle was no less than that of the saint. The five armies were already truly admiring Li Jing. When Li Jing brought a hundred thousand army and the Turkic surrendered army back to Chang'an, what do you think the saint would think? Even if the saint is confident and broad-minded, what do you think if you want the civil and military officials in the court?"

Xu Jie was still a little confused, but Su Dingfang understood and nodded, "Brother, I mean, General Manager Li has already made great achievements and shocked the master."

Qin Hao nodded and said, "Yes, the military generals in the court nowadays were almost all the old subordinates who followed the saints to conquer the world and knew the truth. Only Li Jing, but Li Xiaogong, followed Li Xiaogong to conquer Jiangnan. Moreover, when the saints fought for the throne, Li Jing chose not to help each other. In other words, the saints had never been kind to Li Jing, and Li Jing had never served the saints. Haha, I'm afraid that the one with the lowest trust between the civil and military officials in the court was Li Jing. Even Xue Wanche, the old party of the deposed crown prince, still had the grace of pardon for him."

Why did Tang Jian and Qin Hao leave without saying anything? Because some words cannot be said at all, and they can only rely on enlightenment. As long as Qin Hao just said, as long as it spreads, it is said that it is the relationship between the monarch and the ministers between the saint and Li Jing. If it is said more serious, it is the intention to be ulterior motive. Therefore, he has never explained this set of things to anyone, so he can at most give some advice.

Being able to tell Xu Jie and Su Dingfang so thoroughly can be considered as a family member.

In fact, Li Jing lived a very miserable life in history.

Li Shimin was undoubtedly a wise and powerful emperor, and in his youth he was undoubtedly confident enough to be close to conceit. He had never lost his military achievements in ten years and had unparalleled confidence in his military capabilities and did not really do anything to Li Jing. However, the civil and military officials in the court, especially the civil servants and old people in the Qin Palace, still put Li Jing under great pressure.

Originally, in history, there were rumors that were not good for Li Jing in the capital, saying that he indulged his subordinates to plunder the Turkic money and buy people's hearts. In fact, this crime is fine if any general is involved. Don't fight on his soldiers on the waistband, and you still don't allow others to steal two money? Isn't this nonsense? Li Shimin himself has also done the city massacre.

It is said that although Li Jing's status became more and more noble after returning to Beijing, he acted like walking on thin ice. He never dared to close the door at home. If anyone wanted to chat with him in private, he had to beat people out with a stick. He even went to the house with his wife several times a week and wanted everyone in the world to know about it, as a way to show his openness to Chicheng.

To be honest, I'm afraid I'm living this life is not very pleasant.

Su Dingfang asked: "Brother did this to help General Li share the credit? Is this...can it work? Even if the foolish people are so fooling, no one in the court understands what's going on? This time, General Li makes great contributions to destroying the Eastern Turks."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether the civil and military officials in the court know it. The so-called great achievements shock the master. What I am afraid of is never the merit itself, but the supreme prestige brought by merit. What is prestige? To put it bluntly, the soldiers will not obey you, they are the millions of the most ordinary soldiers in the army. I have not slandered General Li at all, but just to make the soldiers admire more people. In this way, Li Jing will naturally not be so dazzling in the hearts of grassroots soldiers."

"Before Li Jing comes back, these rumors will be sorted out, and some people advocate Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, and Chai Shao. In the court, Tang Jian made a lot of money this time, but he also had to exchange some things, such as confronting Li Jing. Judging from Tang Jian's situation, there is no need to be afraid of him. He pointed at the nose and scolded Li Jing from time to time, and even gave two mouths. I'm afraid Li Jing will not fight back. In this way, whether in the court or in the wild, Li Jing will be restrained, and the civil and military officials in the court will naturally be much less wary of him, and Li Jing will have a better life."

After Qin Hao finished speaking, Xu Jie, who had been unconscious, finally figured it out and slapped his thighs and said, "Oh, it turns out you are really helping General Li. I just said, my brother is not that kind of person. Let's go and drink. This time, even Li Xiaoci is back. You have never met before. Let's call this brat and get off at Pingkangfang."
