C319 The good habit of li shimin

Li Shimin felt that he did not have any outstanding points. When he was in the war, all tactics and plotting were handed over to the strategists behind him.

As for him, he led a group of soldiers and soldiers to charge into the fray.

It could be said that he felt that being able to obtain the position of Emperor only had three qualities, and it was extremely important.

The first was to have a strong enough body.

If his body was weak, he would have been killed by his enemies on the battlefield or in front of the Black Tortoise Sect long ago. How could he be the king of such a high place?

Secondly, he knew how to use people well.

Zhangsun Wuji, Yuchi Gong, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjing, Liu Shili, Gongsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun, Du Junliu, Zheng Rentai, Li Meng …

The reason why they had won the title was not because of Li Yuan, but because they had followed him forward.

If Li Shimin was unable to choose these people to join his team, then he would not be able to win in the end.

And the third point was his modesty.

He was good at listening to his subordinates' opinions, and this was also the key to his success.

Just like how he evaluated Wei Zheng, using copper as the mirror, one could straighten their clothes. Taking history as a mirror, one could know the vicissitudes of life and use people as a mirror. One could see the gains and losses clearly.

He still remembered that if he hadn't listened to his subordinates, he would have long since died at the hands of Li Chengji and Li Yuanji.

Historically, Taibai Jinxing appeared in the sky at noon on the first day of June in the ninth year of Wu De (June 29, 626).

According to the ancients, this was a symbol of change, a precursor to an outbreak of revolution or a change of power, a sign that something important was about to happen.

At the time when the Turkic army was stationed south of the Yellow River with tens of thousands of cavalrymen, they broke into the Great Wall and surrounded Wucheng. Crown Prince Li Jian recommended that King Li Yuanji replace the Qin Wang, Li Shimin and the other military forces to resist the Turkic invasion.

Li Yuan listened to his suggestion, and ordered Li Yuanji to lead the Right Guard Great General Li Yi, Sky Ji General Zhang Jin and the others to save Wu Cheng.

Li Yuanji took the opportunity to request for Yuchi Gong, Cheng Zhizhan, Duan Zhixuan, and the Right Army of Qin Wang's Third Army, Qin Qiong, to go with him. They to inspect and select the best troops from the Qin Wang s to increase the strength of his army.

However, Wang Yu, who held an even more important position (an official in charge of timing) in the Eastern Palace of the crown prince had already been bribed by Qin Wang Li Shimin, becoming Li Shimin's spy in the Eastern Palace. He quietly told Li Shimin: "The crown prince is now with Qin Wang's valiant generals and elite soldiers, possessing tens of thousands of troops. Qin Wang and I bid you farewell at the Kunming Pond, and let the brave warriors kill the Qin Wang in the tent. I will naturally have someone speak up and force my royal father to leave the matters of the country to me. Yuchi Gong and the rest have already landed in your hands, and should be killed by you, who dares to disobey! "

Li Shimin told Changsun Wuji and the others what the Officer Wang said, and they advised Li Shimin to take the initiative.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "A flesh and blood fight, this is a great sin from ancient times until now. "Of course I know that disaster is coming, but I plan to punish them after this disaster occurs, isn't that also possible!"

Yuchi Gong said: "As a human nature, who can bear to die! Now, everyone was vowing to serve the great king to the death. This was a bestowal from the heavens. A disaster was about to happen, but the King was still calm and unworried. Even if the King looked down on him, how could he face the Temple Alliance? If the King is unwilling to accept my suggestion, I will prepare to flee into the wilderness. I will not be able to stay by the King's side and allow myself to be slaughtered! "

Zhangsun Wuji said: "If the King is not willing to listen to Yuchi Gong's suggestion, the matter will definitely fail. Yuchi Gong and the rest will definitely not follow the King anymore, and I should also follow them and leave the King, not continuing to do anything to serve the King! "

Li Shimin said: "I can't give up my opinion completely, let's do some calculations first."

Yuchi Gong said: "It is not wise for the King to be hesitant in handling matters; it is unwise for him to be unable to make a decision in the face of danger. Furthermore, the King has usually raised more than eight hundred warriors, all of whom are outside, and have now entered the palace. They are all dressed in armor and holding weapons, and the situation has already developed, how can the King stop this! "

Li Shimin asked for the opinion of the Palace aides and they all said: "The Qi King is fierce and obedient, and in the end, he was not willing to serve his own brother. Recently, he heard that Xue Shi, the protector of the army, had said to the King, 'The King's name, when combined, can become a' Tang '. The Qi King said happily, 'As long as we can get rid of the Qin Wang, seizing the position of Eastern Palace Prince would be easy. He had yet to succeed in his plot with the crown prince, but he already had the intention of seizing the crown. If he wasn't satisfied with his thoughts, what couldn't he do? If these two were to get their way, the world would probably no longer belong to the Great Tang Dynasty. "With the King's powers, catching these two people is as easy as picking up grass. How can he forget about the great affairs of the country in order to keep his faith?"

Li Shimin still had not made a decision, so everyone asked again, "What kind of person does the King think Shun is?" Li Shimin replied: "Yes, Saint."

Everyone said, "If Emperor Shun had not escaped the deadly hands of his father and younger brother when he was clearing the well, he would have been reduced to mud in the well. If he had not escaped the hands of his father and younger brother when he was painting the granary, he would have been reduced to ashes in the granary. "Therefore, Emperor Shun endured when his father lashed him with a small rod and fled when he was lashed by a large rod. This is most likely because Emperor Shun was thinking about something big."

Li Shimin ordered his men to calculate the good fortune of the enemy, and it just so happened that the Palace's aide Zhang Gongjing came in from the outside, and threw the divination turtle shell on the ground, and said: "The divination is to decide on the difficult matter, now that it is undoubtedly not a difficult matter, what is the divination? If the outcome of divination is unlucky, is it possible to stop acting? "

Thus, a plan of action was set.

It could be said that when Li Shimin was in a dilemma, he would consult the opinions of his subordinates.

Hence, after being conflicted for the whole night, Li Shimin only felt that Xiao Wen had given him this gift. Although he had some intentions of expressing it, but he was unable to guess what it was.

Although the Li Shimin of this world had never heard of three smelly smiths who were as clever as Zhuge Liang. However, he also knew that he could often do things that a single person could not do with a group of people.
