The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Chengqian expressed his doubts, and he was eager to get an answer from his teacher.

If so, what should an emperor do to distinguish clearly, not be constrained by the forgotten impression, and see clearly when these ministers are good and when they are bad?

Lu Deming smiled with relief at the question raised by Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness can think of these, which means that Your Highness has his own thoughts. Do you have any ideas or answers in your heart?"

Li Chengqian shook his head.

He was still angry at this moment.

"Everything in the world has changed dramatically, and nothing has ever remained unchanged, especially people." Lu Deming explained: "It is actually very easy to distinguish what Kuang Heng and Shi Xian did to Chen Tang. This mainly depends on what the emperor wants to do."

"Your Highness thinks that it is wrong for Emperor Yuan of Han to treat Chen Tang like this."

Li Chengqian nodded.

"Yes, people with merit should be rewarded, otherwise how can we stabilize people's hearts and military morale?"

"Yes." Lu Deming nodded with a smile, stroking his beard and said: "Then think about it from another angle, make an assumption, what if Chen Tang has reached the level of merit that threatens the emperor? The same thing, different prerequisites, put it on Your Highness, will Your Highness make the same decision?"

This question confused Li Chengqian.

Is Chen Tang meritorious enough to threaten the emperor?

"Your Highness, when looking at things, you can't just listen to one side of the story, and you can't believe one side of the story." Lu Deming said: "What kind of person is Chen Tang? Kuang Heng and Shi Xian impeached him forging an imperial edict to send troops. Is this false?"

"Not so. In the third year of Jianzhao, Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou went on a diplomatic mission to the Western Regions. Chen Tang was calm, brave, and had great plans. He had many strategies and liked to establish outstanding achievements. After receiving the mission, he planned with Gan Yanshou.

He said that the barbarians were afraid of obeying large tribes, which was their nature.

The Western Regions originally belonged to the Xiongnu, but now Zhizhi alone The reputation of the Kangju people spread far and wide, and they invaded and bullied Wusun, Dayuan and other countries. They often gave advice to Kangju and wanted to subdue them.

If they could get these two countries, they would attack Yili in the north, Anxi in the west, and squeeze Yuezhi and Shanli Wuyi in the south. Within a few years, the situation of several countries with capitals would be critical.

Moreover, their people were brave, loved to fight, and often won. If they were indulged for a long time, they would definitely become a hidden danger in the Western Regions. Although the place where Zhizhi Chanyu was located was quite far away, the barbarians did not have strong walls and powerful swords and crossbows to defend themselves. If they launched the military farming Officers and soldiers, lead the Wusun troops and fight all the way to their city. They have nowhere to go if they flee, and they cannot protect themselves if they hold on. A thousand-year achievement can be accomplished in one day. "

"Although this plan also considers the stability of the Western Regions, the main purpose is nothing more than to create opportunities for oneself to establish achievements."

"The court has not considered this."

"And Gan Yanshou, after hearing his words, also agreed with his views, so he wanted to report this matter to the emperor."

"But Chen Tang said that state affairs should be discussed by the ministers, Extraordinary strategies are beyond the reach of ordinary people, so they will definitely not be approved by the court. "

"When Gan Yanshou was sick, Chen Tang pretended to be ordered by the court to mobilize officers and soldiers. After Gan Yanshou knew about it, he didn't care about his illness and wanted to stop Chen Tang. Chen Tang did rebuke Gan Yanshou, saying that the army had been assembled, and he wanted to ruin things?"

"So, Chen Tang, while making false statements, coerced Gan Yanshou to increase troops and join forces to go on an expedition to foreign lands."

After saying so much, Lu Deming was also very thirsty. He picked up the tea next to him and drank it all to moisten his throat.

And Li Chengqian and the others were listening attentively, looking at Lu Deming eagerly, hoping that he would continue.

Lu Deming cleared his throat, took a breath, and continued: "The deed was done, and then the two of them submitted a self-impeachment report, informing the court that they had falsely claimed the emperor's order and stated the situation of using troops.

This is that the two of them had found a way out for themselves in advance."

"But no matter how beautifully they said and did, they could not cover up the fact that they did so, and they did violate the court's laws."

"The same thing, if the generals of the Tang Dynasty were outside, they would privately mobilize troops and falsely convey the emperor's order. What should they do?"

Li Chengqian was silent.

Falsely conveying the emperor's order is a capital crime.

And Chen Tang did so, and Emperor Yuan of Han did not kill Chen Tang, and Chen Tang also made contributions.

He was named Guannei Hou and given a fief of 300 households.

The reward was small, but considering the mistakes he made...

It seems that Emperor Yuan of Han was not as incompetent as he said.

"Just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked how the emperor could identify whether the ministers in the court were loyal,Whether you keep your original intention, the beginning and the end are the same. After hearing this, does His Royal Highness have any thoughts? "

Li Chengqian nodded slightly.

"Assess the situation, the more you know, the clearer your judgment will be. You must weigh and measure. "Li Chengqian said.

"It's shallow, or shallow. Go back and think about it carefully. Write at least 800 words of experience. Give it to me to read. By the way, send it to Chang'an City for your father to see. "Li Fu said: "There are some truths. It's not appropriate for us to tell you. It's your father who has to tell you."

"Your father knows it best." Li Fu said: "Because he is in his position, he can empathize with others and experience more things. "

Li Chengqian nodded woodenly.

All of a sudden, there is an extra homework of no less than 800 words...

When it comes to Uncle Wang, 800 words has become the standard.

It's always like this, no less than 800 words, poetry is not good.

You have to write honestly.

"Learn more from your teacher. Look at Teacher Lu. He has memorized all the books he has read and uses them whenever he wants. For an allusion, Uncle Wang can only tell you what the story is, but your teacher can derive so many things and make you listen with relish. This is your teacher's ability. "

This time, Li Fucai had the deepest feelings for Lu Deming, the famous scholar of the Tang Dynasty.

He is worthy of the title of scholar. He is really something.

This knowledge reserve is awesome.

"This is also the accumulation of my life. "Lu Deming smiled and shook his head: "People are different, and they are good at different things. Don't compare your own weaknesses with others' strengths. I have been immersed in books all my life, and have never done anything else. If I study this for sixty years and still can't remember anything, then I have really lived in vain."
