Chapter 285 The real reason why Li Shimin does not support
Spicy hot pot made Li Xiuning's appetite. Unfortunately, no matter how Chen Ying advised him, Li Daozhen, He Yueer and Xu Erniang, Shentian Huayin were unwilling to accept Chen Ying's kindness and refused to eat spicy shabu pork.
Chen Ying could only shake his head and sigh, despising Li Daozhen for having delicious food but not knowing how to appreciate it.
What made Li Daozhen feel most incredible is that her sons Li Siye and Chen Qian tried to eat a little chili, and were sweating profusely, and still shouted: "I want it... I want it!"
However, because there were too many dishes and meat in the spicy soup pot, Chen Ying and Li Xiuning could not eat it anyway.
Just then, footsteps rang.
Chen Yingxun looked at him and saw Zhang Zhongjian, who was sleeping so hard that he had no time to clearly walk and strode.
Zhang Zhongjian was the first to have a voice before he came.
"Brother Chen, don't wait for me if you cook anything delicious!"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "God knows how long Brother Zhang will sleep. It is the most hateful thing to disturb people's dreams. Chen is unwilling to be this evil person!"
When Zhang Zhongjian entered the hall, he suddenly saw the female family and children in the hall. He was very surprised, especially Hana Shinda, who was qualified to sit down.
The aristocratic families pay attention to etiquette and magnanimity. How could concubines like Hanaki Kazuno sit in the same seat with their master?
However, Chen Ying favored Hantian Huayin, and Zhang Zhongjian had nothing to say. The habit of giving each other's maids was very common in this era. He took a fancy to the red sleeves and green beads on Chen Ying's mansion, but he had not yet asked for it!
Zhang Zhongjian greeted Li Xiuning.
Li Xiuning returned the gift.
However, seeing Zhang Zhongjian, the foreign guest, Li Xiuning stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang is sitting for a while, I will lose my companion!"
After Li Xiuning left.
Chen Ying invited Zhang Zhongjian and said, "If Brother Zhang doesn't lift it up, sit down and eat something. If it is... Chen immediately asks someone to prepare the meal!"
Zhang Zhongjian sat down, picked up a pair of unused chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton, and started to rinse it in a familiar way. Zhang Zhongjian was generous and sat down and picked up the chopsticks and ate it. However, as soon as the mutton was put into his mouth, he couldn't help but be choked by the spicy smell and his face turned thick and thick neck.
In fact, Zhang Zhongjian just smelled the hot pot, and it was so spicy. Although Zhang Zhongjian was caught off guard by the spicy taste, he used to like spicy food such as dogwood sauce, so he had a strong adaptability to chili peppers. He chewed it a few times and swallowed the mutton suddenly, and then shouted: "It's so delicious, how can you not be without wine!"
As he said that, he picked up a few chopsticks for himself and started to eat the mutton.
Chen Ying clapped his hands and asked someone to send him wine. The wine that he brought was naturally not good. It can be said that it was definitely made of pure grain, and it was stored in the basement of Chen Mansion for more than two years and tasted thick.
Zhang Zhongjian said generously and watched Chen Yi's wine jar pour into the wine pot first, and then slowly pouring wine for him with the wine pot. Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said, "Are you still afraid that Zhang will be crazy when he gets drunk? Don't worry, Zhang has a good character and better wine!"
Zhang Zhongjian said without saying a word, snatched the jar of wine from Chen Ying, and then held a large bowl of rice, which contained almost a pound.
After pouring a full bowl of white wine, Zhang Zhongjian raised his head and drank it into his stomach, but the wine just entered his throat, as if it was like a red soldering iron, and it was difficult to swallow. Zhang Zhongjian's face turned red. If he vomited it out at this time, he would be too embarrassed.
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Zhongjian still swallowed it into his stomach.
Chen Ying picked up the small wine glass and drank a small sip.
"puff……"
Chen Ying immediately vomited it out, how could she be so hot?
Chen Ying held the jar again and looked at the words on it and it turned out to be forty-two. He was a little confused. The 42-degree white wine definitely did not taste this. Even if it was the wine that Chen Ying spit on the ground, it evaporated dry in a short while.
Chen Ying's face turned pale when he opened the note on it and saw that the scale on the jar was 72 degrees, which belonged to Chen Ying's highest degree after four steaming. Although it was not as good as alcohol, this degree was definitely not acceptable to ordinary people.
Chen Ying looked at the maid who came to deliver the wine and said, "What's going on?"
The maid didn't say anything for a long time.
Chen Ying knew without asking. Except for Ma Sanbao, everyone else had no keys in the entire cellar. I'm afraid it was Ma Sanbao who stole it, drank all the low-alcohol wine, and then replaced it with alcohol sticky notes.
However, Zhang Zhongjian was able to accept chili peppers, and Chen Ying was also very surprised. He immediately put the dipping sauce with chili peppers in front of him. As a result, Shimin shouted again after eating it, but he was sweating profusely but could not stop.
However, Zhang Zhongjian also fell in love with the height of up to 72 degrees. He took several sips and laughed: "This is the delicacy that men should enjoy!"
Chen Ying looked at the white wine and felt a little scared.
Zhang Zhongjian sighed with some regret and said, "What a pity Li Erlang!"
Chen Ying nodded and said, "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be. The prince and the King of Qin should not be born in this imperial family!"
Zhang Zhongjian looked at Chen Ying in shock and said, "Yes, brotherhood cannot resist the welfare of the country after all, the world has been in chaos for a long time. The people are in peace and the common people pray for survival."
Chen Ying said: "The Tang Dynasty urgently needs a wise monarch to support the country and organize the world..."
Zhang Zhongjian sat upright and frowned slightly.
Chen Ying said: "The King of Qin was a shady person and a ruthless man. For the Li family, it is a blessing, and for the people of the world, it is a disaster. If the prince cannot hold a major policy alone, he will be constrained and coerced by His Highness everywhere. In this way, although the world is unified, it is difficult to govern it."
Chen Ying shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Zhongjian was stunned for a while, looked up and down at Chen Ying and said, "Where did you know that the prince is a wise king?"
Chen Ying laughed again and said, "Brother Zhang, why don't you ask directly, why did Your Majesty always refuse to make the King of Qin the crown prince?"
Zhang Zhongjian pondered: "The preface of the elders and young people, and also the matter of the former Sui Dynasty?
Chen Ying closed his eyes helplessly, shook his head and sighed.
Zhang Zhongjian frowned when he saw it.
Chen Ying said in a light tone: "Although what Brother Zhang said is good, it is biased but not complete. A record of the grandfather, what does it mean to tell the world in the past two hundred years of the glorious predecessor? In ancient times, the emperor's posthumous title was named "Wu" and the king of the founding was named "Wu" and the king of the Shoucheng's posthumous title was named "Wu". What is this for?"
Zhang Zhongjian let out a gentle breath, looking at listening with a scrupulous look, paced back and forth.
Chen Ying's eyes unconsciously followed Zhang Zhongjian and said lightly: "Anyone who creates a new dynasty in troubled times will build a country with military affairs. The so-called winning the world at once is exactly what it means. However, winning the world at once is not allowed to be governed immediately. Knife and arrows can conquer the country, but they cannot fill the people with warmth, the national treasury is full, and the politics cannot be clear, and the national power will rise, creating a generation of peaceful and prosperous era..."
Zhang Zhongjian paused, stared at the ground in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Chen Ying continued to talk freely: "Therefore, military generals win the world, and civil officials have ruled the world, since ancient times, the foundation of politics in all dynasties. Although the martial arts are dazzling, they are also the root of the devastation of the treasury and the uncertainty of the country. Naturally, there is no need to worry too much about this level. However, what Your Majesty needs is a candidate who can rest with the people and achieve peace in the world. Therefore, the bloodthirsty and warlike King of Qin happened to lose the qualification to compete for the great treasure."
Zhang Zhongjian showed a sarcastic look on his face, turned his face and stared at Chen Ying and said, "Just because of this mere theory of corrupt scholars, you can conclude that if the King of Qin ascended the throne in the Spring, he would be a tyrant monarch without reason?"
Chen Ying said: "The Qin King has really dealt with several political affairs over the years? In the court, although he can be very knowledgeable, he is mostly talking about military affairs on paper, not knowing the hardships, not knowing the sufferings, and not knowing what the common people are thinking and what they need? He doesn't know the complexity and triviality of governance. In this way, if you take it for granted, can the world be free from chaos?"
Chen Ying said this a little against his will. After all, in history, Li Shimin did a good job. In military affairs, Li Shimin used troops to the outside world many times, successively pacifying the Turks, Satoyantuo, Uighurs, Gaochang, Yanqi, Kucha, Tuyuhun, etc. As a result, the Tang Dynasty was famous and the people from all directions were convinced. After 23 years of efforts by Li Shimin, the society was stable, the economy recovered and the development was stable, and his martial arts were outstanding. Li Shimin's achievements over the ages and shone for the ages, becoming one of the four famous monarchs of Emperor and Emperor Tang and Emperor Song ancestors of Emperor Qin and Emperor Han and Emperor Wu of Tang.
However, what Chen Ying was most dissatisfied with Li Shimin was that his marriage partner lost the backbone of the Tang Dynasty and also supported the rise of Tubo.
Princess Wencheng's dowry was very rich, carrying a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, as well as many books on agricultural production and literary works, and even the capable and skilled craftsmen brought from the Central Plains.
So how is Princess Wencheng's real life in history? In fact, from the Dunhuang murals, we find that Princess Wencheng's life is not as happy as recorded in the Central Plains. Since Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she has no children for many years. Compared with the queen of the prime minister who is glorious and noble, her life is simply a world of difference. She has been married to Tubo for forty years, but she has been neglected for 31 years. Facing the snow, she lives like years, and her youth is no longer there.
Songtsen Gampo is already romantic and has no etiquette restrictions in the Central Plains. He has countless wives and concubines. For him, there is only a gleam on his face, so how could he really take care of him? Moreover, Songtsen Gampo spent a lot of money to prepare for the Jokhang Temple to place the dowry statue of Sakyamuni in order to marry the Nepalese princess. Thinking back to the year when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, Songtsen Gampo only used the small Jokhang Temple to place the Buddha statue brought by Princess Wencheng.
The key is that Li Shimin's indescribable (sensitive words) policy dealing with was a failure, and it also laid the root of disaster for the demise of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, he influenced not only the Li clan, but the entire China. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Shatu people established four regimes: the Later Tang Dynasty (the First Dynasty of Shatu), the Later Jin Dynasty (the Second Dynasty of Shatu), the Later Han Dynasty (the Third Dynasty of Shatu), and the Northern Han Dynasty (the Fourth Dynasty of Shatu).
The son Emperor Shi Jingtang cannot be a traitor because he is not a Han person at all.
Chen Ying's faint smile gradually disappeared. Chen Ying said: "Chen and the King of Qin have been through the battlefield for a long time. The army commanded by them are often hundreds of thousands, and they have long been accustomed to taking over power. Unfortunately, the court is not a battlefield, and they do not need a single man. They rely on collective thinking and fulfilling their duties. Qin Shihuang's natural talent has perished in two generations and his country has been destroyed. Emperor Xiaowu of Han was powerful all over the world, but in his later years, the government collapsed and the people were in trouble, and he had to issue an edict to blame himself. By heart, do the people in the world need such an emperor?"
...
Li Xiuning, who was behind the screen, heard Chen Ying say this, and a solemn look appeared on her face.
After hearing this, she could no longer listen.
Li Xiuning walked out of the back hall, her steps became more and more, and He Yue'er said worriedly: "Your Highness, Princess...you!"
Li Xiuning suddenly saw Changsun Wugui kneeling in the snow pile in the garden. At this time, Changsun Wugui and Qin Prince Li Chengqian and his son were trembling with cold.
Changsun Wugui was trembling, not daring to look up or speak.
Li Xiuning looked up and turned her face, looking at He Yueer and Ma Sanbao, who were standing on her side, with incredible and confused faces.
Ma Sanbao, a big and thick man, bent his waist and neck, and was frightened under the gaze of Li Xiuning.
Li Xiuning shook his finger and pointed at Changsun Wugui and said, "Who can... explain what the situation is?"
He Yue'er looked at Ma Sanbao. Ma Sanbao lowered his head and did not dare to speak...
He Yue'er had no choice but to smile and said, "Princess, this is... Qin's deposed princess..."
Li Xiuning shouted with a fierce look on her face: "You don't need to introduce me, I know you!"
He Yue'er shut up in disappointment, secretly poked Ma Sanbao, and gave him a look of self-requirement.
Ma Sanbao cleared his throat, looked like he was not stingy, and said with his neck in a stammer: "Your Highness, Chai Shao hated Princess, and he wanted to kill Bei Zheng. This woman once scolded Chai Shao and asked the King of Qin to come forward to save Bei Zheng... It was also her..."
The more Ma Sanbao spoke, the less he sounded, and in the end he still didn't dare to look at Li Xiuning.
Li Xiuning nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, is she doing good to you?"
Ma Sanbao nodded quickly.
Li Xiuning smiled and said, "It's not only good to you, but also to me... If you hadn't tried your best to save me, would I live to this day!"
He Yueer and Ma Sanbao looked at each other and laughed.
Li Xiuning stepped forward, bent down and took Changsun Wugui's hand, helped her stand up and said, "Get up first, brother and sister, we are not outsiders.
Changsun Wugui said timidly: "Thank you Princess... for not killing..."
Li Xiuning's mouth twitched and said, "The things between men have nothing to do with us women."
Changsun Wugui then stood up tremblingly, his face was pale and his eyes were red. He looked at Li Xiuning's smiling face in fear, and then lowered his head quickly.
Ma Sanbao said: "The low-ranking people are all rough people. This yam is really hot. Please ask the princess to make a claim..."
