Chapter 141 Foolish Loyalty and Honest Loyalty

Chapter 141 Foolish Loyalty and Fine Loyalty

Author: An Jing l

Chapter 141 Foolish Loyalty and Fine Loyalty

Wei Zheng originally thought that Su Qian would ridicule him about "serving the six masters", but he did not expect that Su Qian's evaluation was very pertinent and he also revealed his original intention. Wei Zheng couldn't help but trust Su Qian even more.

point.

"Loyal minister. Good minister?" Guan Yu, who was regarded as a model of eternal loyalty, was now in a state of shock. "Is loyalty divided into right and wrong?"

Even Zhuge Liang, who was standing in the light wall, couldn't help but ponder when he saw the difference between "a good minister and a loyal minister" mentioned by Wei Zheng at the end, "Am I a loyal minister or a good minister?"

At this moment, the video gave an answer from later generations,

[In my opinion, what Wei Zheng said is very reasonable.

There are two types of loyalty: one is foolish loyalty and the other is fine loyalty.

Foolish loyalty refers to blind loyalty, obeying the orders of superiors or monarchs without thinking or judging.

Foolishly loyal people may ignore morality and conscience in order to maintain so-called loyalty, and even ignore the consideration of the interests of society, the country, or the people. They may overly respect the authority of the Lord and lack independent thinking and critical spirit.

Jingzhong emphasizes rational and wise loyalty.

Loyal people will remain loyal to their monarch or superiors, but they will also use their wisdom and judgment to make cautious suggestions and opinions. They focus on the overall interests of the country, society and people, and combine loyalty with conscience and morality.

Combine.】

"That's it! Su Shangshen said it thoroughly!"

"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Thank you!"

"I understand! No wonder Yue Wumu's mother tattooed the words 'Serve the country with loyalty' on Yue Wumu's back!"

Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang seem to have realized something.

Guan Yu was even more excited and said: "The eldest brother is determined to revive the Han Dynasty. He has always loved the people like a son. He should be a combination of conscience and morality for the country, society and people! Guan is loyal to his eldest brother, loyal to the Han Dynasty, and loyal to the people.

It’s true loyalty!”

Zhuge Liang's eyes became more determined, "I follow my lord, firstly to save the common people, secondly to help the Han Dynasty and recreate the glory of the Han people, and thirdly to display my ambition and show what I have learned in my life.

I still remember the nursery rhyme, ‘New Wild Animal Husbandry, Uncle Liu, from now on, the people will be rich’!

My lord is deeply loved by the people and soldiers, and he is the orthodox Han Dynasty recognized by the emperor. I am loyal to my lord and consider myself loyal!"

Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Empire, stood in the light wall and said with a wry smile: "If you make a mistake, you will regret it for life!!"

[In the 13th year of the Sui Dynasty (617), Wei Zheng followed Yuan Bao to raise troops, and later followed Yuan Bao to defect to Wagang Li Mi.

Li Mi admired Wei Zheng's talent very much, but Wei Zheng's ten suggestions on strengthening Wagang were not adopted.

For talents like Wei Zheng, Li Mi just hopes that he can be a secretary-type auxiliary person who can execute orders, but not teach him to do things.]

[In the fourteenth year of Daye, the first year of Wude, Wang Shichong and Li Mi fought successively in Cangcheng and Luokou.

Li Mi could defeat Wang Shichong every time, but he could not completely eliminate Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong hid in Luoyang, and when he found an opportunity, he would bite Li Mi.

In the previous battle between Li Mi and Yu Wenhuaji at Mangshan, all his elite troops had been lost in the battle with Yu Wenhuaji's Xiaoguo Imperial Guards, which gave Wang Shichong a chance to breathe.

Without the suppression of the elite division, Wang Shichong, who had been suppressed and beaten by Li Mi, now began to bite Li Mi back.

However, Wang Shichong's army had one biggest weakness, which was lack of food.

Wei Zheng had seen this and suggested to Li Mi's chief officer Zheng Ting, "Deep trenches and high fortresses, hold on to the stalemate, and wear out Wang Shichong."

But in the end, Wei Zheng still spoke softly, and his suggestions were not adopted. In the end, Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong.

Instead of following Wei Zheng's correct advice, the most powerful rebel army led by Li Mi led by a cloud of fierce generals and a rain of counselors was instead consumed to death by Wang Shichong, and the fierce generals and counselors under him ultimately took advantage of Li Shimin.]

When Yang Guang saw this, the corner of his mouth curled up and he said: "Haha. Those fierce generals and advisers under your Li Er will now fall into the arms of me, Yang Guang!"

[In the same year, Wei Zheng followed Li Mi and surrendered to Li Yuan. As a surrendered minister, Wei Zheng was not reused at this time. Li Mi surrendered, and his subordinate Li Shiji

He also stationed troops in Liyang, and Wei Zheng took the initiative to ask Ying to persuade Li Shiji to surrender.

Just when Wei Zheng had successfully persuaded Li Shiji, Hebei Dou Jiande came again and captured Wei Zheng.

He originally came to persuade others to surrender, but he did not expect that he became a prisoner in the end, so Wei Zheng became a living servant under Dou Jiande.

After Dou Jiande failed at Hulao Pass, Wei Zheng surrendered to the Tang Dynasty again. This time when he surrendered, he met Prince Li Jiancheng.]

[Huidou Jiande fell to Liyang, was conquered, and pretended to be a worshiper of Lisheren. Jiande was defeated, and he went to the pass with Pei Ju, and Prince Yin took him as a horse washer.]

[Under Prince Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng encountered the same embarrassing situation as when he worked under Li Mi.

Li Jiancheng also hopes that Wei Zheng will be a secretary-type talent and the real decision-making power does not lie with Wei Zheng.]

[Among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, most of them could not escape the Xuanwumen Incident. Many of them even made great contributions during the Xuanwumen Incident, so they were listed in Lingyan Pavilion.

Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji and others belong to two camps, each with its own master. It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. But in terms of decisiveness and ruthlessness, Li Jiancheng is undoubtedly inferior to Li Shimin.

And it was precisely because of this gap that Li Shimin had the last laugh.】

[As an official of the Crown Prince, Wei Zheng naturally has to eliminate potential threats for the Crown Prince.

In fact, before Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Incident, Wei Zheng had advised Prince Li Jiancheng to take the first step and kill Li Shimin.

But the prince Li Jiancheng couldn't bear to kill Li Shimin and did not adopt Wei Zheng's suggestion. Unexpectedly, he was killed by Li Shimin in the end.】

When Li Shimin saw this, his heart throbbed involuntarily again.

Li Jiancheng couldn't bear to kill him, Li Shimin, but Li Shimin couldn't make up his mind. What's more, he, Li Shimin, not only killed Li Jiancheng, but also killed Li Jiancheng's entire family!

Li Shimin clutched his chest tightly, his face contorted with pain, "Brother, I'm sorry for you."

[Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin killed Prince Li Jiancheng and the whole family of Qi King Li Yuanji.

But he did not kill the two men, and even Li Shimin did not kill Wei Zheng, who wanted to kill him.】

["New Book of Tang Dynasty Biography of Wei Zheng" records: When the prince was defeated, the king said: "You hate my brother, what can I do?" The answer was: "The prince followed Zheng's advice, and he will not suffer today's disaster. The king's weapons are straightforward and have no hatred." .After ascending the throne, he paid homage to the officials and was granted the title of Male of Julu County.

When Li Shimin faced the man who originally suggested killing him, instead of retaliating against him, Li Shimin promoted and re-employed him.

And Wei Zheng did not betray Li Shimin's trust.

After following Li Shimin, he went to Hebei to appease the prince's old tribe.

The hidden prince Qian Niu Li Zhian and the Qi King's guard Li Sixing were released and were still appointed to official positions. So far, the people of Hebei were at peace.]
