Chapter 60 The Future Emperor Suzong
I don’t know why, but the Li family in this era loves to change their names, especially Li Longji’s sons.
Li Longji's eldest son was originally named Li Sizhi, and later changed his name to Li Tan, and then changed his name to Li Cong.
The same is true for the second son, who was also the crown prince. He was originally called Li Siqian, later changed to Li Hong, and finally changed to Li Ying.
After changing the changes, the third son, King Zhong, became even more fun. Changing the name is like eating. He first called Li Sisheng, then Li Jun, Li Yan, Li Shao, etc. His last name is known to those who understand this history. He should be familiar with Li Heng and Emperor Suzong of Tang.
Most of the historical books record the last name, so when Li Sisheng is mentioned, Pei Min did not associate him with the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for a while.
It was not until he thought of Li Longji's third son that Pei Min realized.
Pei Min personally felt that this future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was particularly bad.
Li Longji has problems, but Li Longji has at least had a glorious time, and Li Heng gave Pei Min the feeling of being gloomy and suspicious, full of negative emotions.
Maybe it was because Li Longji oppressed him too ruthlessly, or Li Linfu suppressed him too much in history.
Li Heng is like a wet and cold poisonous snake, only showing his fangs at critical moments.
The first time he showed his fangs in history was the famous Maweipo mutiny.
Due to the various beautifications of film and television history, some people believe that the Mawei Slope Mutiny was to deal with Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuhuan, and rebelled and forced the palace to be for justice.
In fact, Li Heng’s real purpose was not Yang Guozhong or Yang Yuhuan at all. His methods were more ruthless than Li Shimin back then.
Li Shimin just killed his brother and kept his back on his father, but Li Heng wanted Li Longji to die.
However, the whole plan was unexpected. Chen Xuanli, whom Li Heng won over, was reluctant to deal with Li Longji at the last moment.
Even if Li Longji was defeated in the end, he was still very good at the general he trusted.
At the most critical moment, Chen Xuanli suddenly repented and was loyal to Li Longji.
Li Heng failed, which is also the reason why Li Heng dared not enter Sichuan.
He had just had the idea of killing his father, so he dared to enter Sichuan with Li Longji.
As he had no choice but to do so, Li Heng planned to take other plans and ascended the throne without Li Longji's permission.
To put it bluntly, the throne of Emperor Li Heng is just unreasonable.
Fortunately, Li Longji was also disheartened at that time and made acquiescent.
To be honest, if Li Longji doesn't agree with Li Heng, Li Heng will not be able to sit firmly in his position.
Of course, this is just an internal battle for the throne, not the main reason why Pei Min disliked him.
The real reason was that Li Heng was too suspicious. In the situation at that time, Li Heng didn't have to think that the Uighurs would borrow troops. He was the one who put generals like Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Pugu Huaien dare not use them, but the Prime Minister Fang Guan.
As a result, the entire army killed by the Tang army was wiped out, and they had to borrow troops from the Uighurs, and promised that "on the day when the city was defeated, the land, the scholars and the common people would return to the Tang Dynasty, gold and silk, and their children would return to the Uighurs."
Originally, with the rise of Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and Pugu Huaien, the civil strife could be quelled in the short term. Because of Li Heng's suspicion and suspicion, he handed over the military power to the eunuch, which led to many defeats, leaving behind two major disadvantages of harem interference in politics and eunuch's autocracy.
In the midst of Li Heng's succession and crisis, according to the normal script, it should be "turning the tide down and helping the building collapse."
But Li Heng did the opposite, making the road to counter-rebellion even more steep.
The reason why the Anshi Rebellion was suppressed was not because Emperor Li Heng was well-organized.
It is purely Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, two rare famous generals, are too powerful.
They had no relationship with Li Heng. Instead, because of Li Heng's existence, they tied up their hands and fought against An Lushan and Shi Siming.
In fact, having a general like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, any ambitious emperor could have created a great cause.
He met Li Heng, who instigated the harem to interfere in politics and the eunuchs were tyrannical, and directly pulled the Tang Dynasty down from the quagmire of civil strife.
A famous general like Li Guangbi died in depression, but Guo Ziyi succeeded, but his achievements and reputation were really a joke.
A general like Guo Ziyi can only defend his territory.
He could fight Tubo and run away with his head, but he could not recover the lost land...
If it were said that Li Longji in the later period pushed the prosperous Tang Dynasty into a quagmire because of his absurdity.
Then the emperor Li Heng pushed him ruthlessly, leaving the Tang Dynasty no longer able to turn the world back.
Therefore, Pei Min has no favoritism towards Li Heng.
Looking at Wang Zhongsi who was a little confused, Pei Min suddenly realized that Wang Zhongsi died young in history because of Li Heng.
Needless to say, Wang Zhongsi’s glory in history.
Later, in order to be greedy for merit, Li Longji ordered Wang Zhongsi to attack Shibao City. Wang Zhongsi had already set up control of Qinghai at that time. It was meaningless to take Shibao City or not. He was unwilling to exchange the lives of tens of thousands of people for an official position. He rejected Li Longji and opposed the movement of troops.
Li Longji was furious about this, but he did not blame him too much. It was Li Linfu who falsely accused Wang Zhongsi at this time, saying that Wang Zhongsi once said, "I am willing to respect the prince when I lived with King Zhong in the early years."
Li Longji was almost framed to death with his heart.
King Zhong is Li Heng in history and Li Sisheng now.
"Tell me, how did you know King Zhong?"
Facing Pei Min's serious question, Wang Zhongsi did not dare to hide it and said, "I went to worship my father. My father's tomb is clean and there are many people cleaning it. I feel ashamed. After I asked the woodcutter who passed by, I said that King Zhong often came to the grave to worship. I thanked him personally. King Zhong praised his father's loyalty and righteousness, and thanked him for his contribution to the court, so he often sacrificed his sacrifices."
Pei Min smiled and said, "So you are grateful to him?"
Wang Zhongsi lowered his head and did not speak.
Pei Min sighed: "If someone treats my father like this, I will feel the same as you. But have you ever thought about why the woodcutter appeared there?"
Wang Zhongsi said without hesitation: "Of course it's chopping..."
He couldn't continue to say anything, and his face was quite shocked.
Pei Min whispered: "I was there when your father was buried. You and I often went to worship back then. I climbed the mountain many times, and there was no wood to cut on the mountain."
The ancients used wood to make fire, but wood was of particular importance.
The woodcutter cuts all the wood that is easy to grow and flammable.
The places where Wang Haibin buried were mostly wet wood, which was difficult to cut, and it was not even sold at the price.
Even an inexperienced woodman would not choose to cut wood where to do it.
"Think about it again, how can a woodcutter know a big man like King Zhong? I can only say that King Zhong is good at making a good way to make you win over you and use your filial piety."
Wang Zhongsi said with a bitter face: "Brother Min is right. The matters in the palace are too complicated. It is more direct to fighting wars, so you don't need to use your brain!"
Pei Min laughed when he heard this: "How can you be so kind to the Tubo Dazhalu?"
