Li Yuan, the founding monarch of the Tang Dynasty, was obviously mature at the political level. After hearing "Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai", he roughly knew Li Shan's intentions and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
And the old god, Li Shan, who was sitting there... felt that he had snatched all the bamboo shoots on the mountain. That is to say, Li Shimin in this time and space didn't know, otherwise he would strangle himself to death in minutes!
In history, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was hailed as a rare wise king. There are several key points in the impression he left on future generations. He turned the tide several times, captured two kings in one battle in the Central Plains, the Xuanwumen Incident, and the Weishui Alliance and later destroyed the East. Turks, good at accepting advice, and the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
It’s okay now. Li Shan didn’t catch up in the three battles of Qianshuiyuan, Baibi, and Luoyang Hulao. He hadn’t traveled back in time at that time. Apart from his character of being good at accepting advice or his characteristics in governing, Li Shan basically won all the prizes. .
After the Battle of Tiantai Mountain, it is basically impossible for the Xuanwu Gate Change to occur in this time and space. Even if it did, it would not be Li Shimin who killed his brother and brother and forced his father to abdicate.
Some time ago, Li Shan's secret memorial, in front of Li Shimin, the original author, and under the witness of Qi Julang, described for Li Yuan the strategy for future war with the Eastern Turks.
And now Li Shan has released the list of Lingyan Pavilion's heroes more than ten years in advance... Li Shan feels that he is really sorry for Li Shimin. He is very sorry. He is too unkind.
However, the so-called Lingyan Pavilion Meritorious List is not Li Shimin’s original creation. Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, restored his family and the country and rewarded the meritorious officials. His son, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhuang, selected 28 generals and placed their portraits in the Nangong Cloud in Luoyang. Inside the Tai Pavilion.
These are not the five tiger generals in the version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", Fan Yeli said that they were collectively called the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai.
Li Shan estimated that Li Shimin's inspiration should also come from the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.
Seeing Li Yuan's somewhat moved expression, Li Shan added: "When I returned from Daizhou, Your Majesty hosted a banquet in Lingyan Pavilion to praise my merits..."
"The twenty-eight generals of Lingyan Pavilion?" Li Yuan clicked his tongue: "Huairen is really a wonderful idea!"
To put it bluntly, Li Shan's advice is connected with his previous long speech. Those generals will have no desire once they are promoted to the rank of Duke?
Now hang a carrot next to their mouths...are you still afraid that they won't work hard?
In fact, this is not a piece of carrot, but a piece of fat that is extremely fat, and it is also a piece of fat that can be eaten for a long, long time... The twenty-eight generals of Yuntai basically passed their family business to the late Han Dynasty.
Even in terms of fame and history, which general does not have such extravagant hopes?
Among the twenty-eight generals of Lingyan Pavilion, he complements the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai in the Han Dynasty and is admired by future generations. Which general can refuse such a temptation?
The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, this idea was wonderful, and this idea was awesome. His eyes when he looked at Li Shan had a hint of gentleness that the latter rarely found this year, "Huairen can tell it as much as you like."
"I will explain everything to Your Majesty one by one. If there are any inaccuracies, please forgive me. I just had a whim last night when I was thinking about it carefully."
"Yes." Li Yuan waved his sleeves and robe, motioning for Li Lang to come forward.
"First, merit should be described and merit should be rewarded. If this is not the case, the army will have no fighting spirit and the generals will have no fighting spirit." Li Shan talked eloquently, "But those who can be selected as the twenty-eight generals of Lingyan Pavilion must be harsh."
"It may be possible to defeat the weak with the strong and turn the tide; it may be able to attack the barbarians and expand its territory; it may be able to act on its own and make contributions in all aspects; it may be able to help the distressed and control one side alone; or it may be able to reverse the situation of the war and turn danger into safety."
"Otherwise, it is not enough to enter Lingyan Pavilion and be respected by those who come after you."
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Huairen is definitely not what he planned last night. The twenty-eight generals of Yuntai are all such famous generals."
Indeed, Li Shan's idea came up very early. At that time, he just discovered the similarities between the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai and the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. It was not until he started discussing merit a few days ago that this idea gradually took shape. , For this reason, he also specially read the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty".
The reason why Li Yuan made this judgment was that there were indeed a few of Yuntai's twenty-eight generals who did not have extraordinary military exploits, but were selected because they controlled one side alone. The town is consistent.
Li Yuan suddenly smiled, "From what Huairen has seen, who can be selected in the court now?"
"Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao County, and Li Yaoshi, Duke of Dai, who destroyed Western Liang, Fu Lingnan, settled Jingxiang, and leveled Jianghuai, should be selected." Li Shan paused and smiled: "Your Majesty, I should be selected, right?"
"Hahaha!" Li Yuan laughed loudly, "If Li Huairen, the heir to the throne of Wei who I canonize, cannot be selected, neither can the younger brother of Prince Zhao and the pharmacist."
Indeed, although Li Shan's qualifications were not high enough and he did not emerge until the sixth year of Wude, his military exploits over the past few years... Li Xiaogong and Li Yaoshi could not be surpassed.
"However, Prince Zhao is fine with his ministers. If His Majesty appoints the twenty-eight generals of Lingyan Pavilion, Duke Dai Li Yaoshi needs to wait for a while." Li Shan continued: "On the one hand, after all, Duke Dai was the deputy commander-in-chief of Prince Zhao at that time. on the other hand……"
Li Yuan nodded clearly. Now Li Jing is the general manager of Daizhou. He has jurisdiction over Shuozhou, Daizhou, Yuzhou and Xinzhou. He has the strongest army in the world, Daizhou Army, and has many good generals under his command. He will definitely fight against the Turks in the future. Of course, the candidate for the head coach will naturally have to wait until the war is over before being selected for Lingyan Pavilion.
Li Shan and Li Xiaogong are no longer likely to lead the army into battle, and it doesn't matter when they are selected.
Li Yuan asked with great interest: "Based on Huairen's guess, who else in the DPRK might be selected?"
"Actually, the commander-in-chief of the Yanzhou Road Marching Army, Duke Dou Shize of the State of Feng, destroyed the Liang Kingdom, regained several states, and captured the Liang division capital. He is also qualified to be selected." Li Shan said without thinking: "The rest... the city king Li Daozong, Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang, Nanyang County Duke Zhang Shigui, Wu'an County Duke Xue Wanche, Wu Guogong Wei Chigong, Dingyuan County Duke Zhang Gongjin, and Huo Guogong Chai Shao all have this ability, but whether they can be selected depends on whether they can be established in the battle to destroy the Turks in the future. Great work."
Li Yuan nodded slowly, "Brother Zhaojun Wang, Dou Shize, Huairen..."
The three names read out are undoubtedly the most qualified to be selected among the twenty-eight generals of Lingyan Pavilion, and no one can find fault with them.
Li Shan glanced at Li Yuan who didn't know what he was thinking, and continued: "Secondly, the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai are not replaced, but Lingyan Pavilion may be divided into two halls, front and back."
"Two halls, front and back?" Li Yuan was very interested, "Huairen, please tell me carefully."
"Even if you have made great achievements, can you be so unscrupulous and domineering that you don't obey the law?" Li Shan said sternly: "If there are meritorious officials who punish the law, or even commit treason, shouldn't they be abolished? A portrait?"
Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "What Huairen said is absolutely true."
"If the twenty-eight generals in the front hall die of old age or unfortunately die of illness, or even die in battle, their portraits should be moved to the back hall..."
"As a result, there will be vacancies for the portraits of the twenty-eight generals in the front hall... This is a plan for latecomers."
Although Li Shan didn't put it too bluntly, Li Yuan obviously understood it immediately and couldn't help but pat the case gently in admiration.
