"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, our officers and soldiers were very fond of the Hu Ben Army and were full of hostility. But later, although He Jin was hostile to the Tang Dynasty, after taking charge of the Huben Army, he never killed the captured bandits."
"Even the Holy Emperor, who was the King of Qin at the time, recognized him as a true man. He also heard that he was from the Xiyun Taoist sect, that he had strong martial arts and extraordinary military skills. He wanted to recruit him many times back then, but he didn't know the truth behind He Jin at that time. Disaster."
"Here, a battle in Hebei was fought for nearly two years. The name of Tiger Commander He Jin became famous far and wide."
"So over time, He Jin's reputation was mostly due to notoriety, but I'm afraid he also had his reasons. There are rumors that during the battle of Kou Jueshan, He Jin Guyong met the King of Qin alone. Later, He Jin was defeated and disappeared without a trace. His wife, children and children are missing as well..."
Finally, Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and drank a glass with a complex expression, as if the memory was coming to his mind.
Tang Sufan was chewing broad beans in his mouth, looking like he was eating melon.
The final defeat was not mentioned, because only Li Shimin, the Wagang Mountain people who had just entered King Qin's tent, Qin Qiong and others knew about what happened at that time.
It's just that the things of the past have long since disappeared into the smoke and dust, and now they are brought up again, somewhat recalling the vicissitudes of those years.
Finally, Li Shimin put down his wine glass and concluded his speech.
"It can only be said that military generals have no destiny and just work for their own camps. Even if He Jin was hostile to the Tang Dynasty back then, who can say the merits and demerits? In troubled times, there are differences between parties and camps, but in the end After all, it may be that heroes cherish heroes, and back then... ahem, who knows what happened to Kou Jueshan."
As he spoke, Li Shimin, who was deep in memory, suddenly reacted and quickly coughed and changed his words.
Good guy, I almost spilled the beans while talking.
Tang Sufan almost listened to the "Prequel to He Jin". When he heard the last part of Li Shimin's words, he automatically pretended that he didn't hear it, and then threw a broad bean into his mouth, while still reacting slowly on his face.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, this story is no more exciting than some celebrity gossip and scandals from previous lives? So exciting!
Even the siblings Li Lirou and Li Lirou were quietly listening to Li Shimin's words reminiscing about the past and did not dare to disturb them.
"Oh, that He Jin is indeed a man!"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin, an old bandit, suddenly said something with a glass of wine in his hand. Judging from his rough expression, he was quite nostalgic.
After all, Cheng Yaojin was also a participant and witness in the Hebei Pingding War.
Moreover, everyone who was in Kou Jueshan back then owed He Jin a favor. No one would dare to believe this matter even if he told it, but the only people who knew about it at that time were only people from the camp.
Tang Sufan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect He Ting, oh no, He Jin.
It is really rare to get the approval of an old bandit like Lao Cheng.
"Then why did He Jin disappear and not be heard from for many years, and then he became a bandit? Why did he still cause such a thing?"
The biggest mystery behind Luo Xishan's incident is He Jin, but the Kou Jueshan incident was even bigger.
But seeing this, Lao Li doesn’t want to say anything~
"Ahem, who knows, but He Jin is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty after all. When he was escorted back, he was even criticized verbally and written in the court. In the end, he gave the problem to the Holy Emperor!"
In the end, Li Shimin became more or less personal.
If you want to say not to kill him, the civil servants can speak like a sword, and every word is as precise as a sword. But if you want to say kill him, a group of military generals who knew about Kou Jueshan back then came out to plead for mercy.
In the end, the only option was to take him back to prison and discuss it again after the year. To put it bluntly, the emperor was allowed to go where he wanted.
Li Shimin was speechless.
At the end of the fight, he will be left with the reputation of being a villain?
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Li Shimin's face at this time and said immediately.
"Why did He Jin become a bandit? I heard that he had good intentions. He raised hundreds of orphans in the mountains and never robbed people for human food. But it doesn't matter if he robs some rich businessmen or something. It's not a crime~ Lao Cheng said, he is also a good person!"
Li Shimin glanced at him and knew that the old gangster was saying something clever.
But in a state-owned country, legalists have family rules. If one person makes decisions privately, how can he govern the country?
But after all, although He Jin had no choice but to have an enmity with Datang back then, the incident of Kou Jueshan really made Li Shimin unable to get over it that morning.
It's not that Li Shimin didn't care about his talents or his feelings.
But after all, He Jin is a strong general and a handsome talent. To put it bluntly, he is a great talent, and he is still a talent outside the Tang Dynasty.
What if Datang no longer tolerates him? What about the others? What about Turks? What about Huihe? Silla, Tubo, Bailiju...
Apart from death, there is no other way to make him live in peace.
Even though Li Shimin still owed him a favor back then, certain considerations must be ruthless. This is the emperor.
"Hey, Lao Li, tell me...what do I want from this person?"
Just when Li Shimin's mind was wandering, Tang Sufan's words suddenly brought Li Shimin's mind back.
Li Shimin glanced suspiciously.
"What? How could you kid think of this?"
"Yeah, why did you kid suddenly...?"
Cheng Yaojin also looked a little surprised, and he quickly came over and asked with a playful smile.
"Nonsense, of course it has its own uses~"
Tang Sufan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin lowered his eyebrows and said slowly.
"Young boy, let's not talk about what you want this congratulatory gift for. How are you going to protect him? You know, even if you want to protect him, how can you ask the Holy One to convince the civil and military officials of the court because of the congratulatory gift?"
"Nonsense, of course I have a magic trick, and of course I will benefit the emperor, but you have to run away for me, Old Li!"
Tang Sufan said angrily.
How long will this scene of knowing you are the emperor and still treating you as a middleman go on?
When he used to watch TV dramas, didn't the emperor hide every plot tightly, and then laugh at the situation, until there was a shocking reversal in the finale, and a sudden showdown shocked everyone?
Why did the plot change when he got here? This, this, this... some bad author changed the routine.
Li Shimin calmed down and said, "Can you tell me first?"
Tang Sufan's face softened, and he turned to his little apprentice and asked.
"Gao Ming, you have listened for so long, tell me, is He Jin a good person or a bad person?"
Suddenly the conversation changed and he directly added a scene to the prince's apprentice who had been working on his side.
Li Chengqian raised his face and looked at the crowd, feeling helpless.
"Teacher, Gao Ming doesn't know... If He Jin is a bad person, he has a kind heart, but if he is a good person, he was with me in the Tang Dynasty..."
As Li Chengqian spoke, he glanced at Li Shimin and was speechless.
This problem is indeed a bit difficult for him now.
Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin were also curious, why did they suddenly ask about the prince?
Could it be that this kid wants to teach students in accordance with their aptitude?
If this is the case, then this kid is really serious.
"So, you can't tell whether He Jin is a good guy or a bad guy?"
"Yes, teacher..."
Tang Sufan held the chopsticks and slowly picked up the vegetables.
"Then tell me, from your perspective, what is a good person and what is a bad person?"
Li Chengqian looked thoughtfully, raised his little face and began to speak.
"Mencius said..."
Snapped!
"What a fart!"
Tang Sufan slapped this kid on the head with one hand and said angrily.
"Say your own opinion. Don't tell me what others say. Just say what you think. Tell the truth!"
It makes you angry when you hear something about it.
What if I don’t understand? Don’t you know that my classical Chinese is poor?
Li Shimin on the side:...
Hey, hey, hey, I just wanted to say that this kid taught me well, but you...
