The so-called art of speaking means not talking about the conclusion, but talking about the premise first.
Use the premise as a kind of weight to keep adding weight until the target can no longer bear the weight, and then throw out the conclusion.
In this way, by the time the other party realizes that he does not want to agree with you, it is often already too late, because the premise of objection has already been taken down.
This is like marching and fighting. If you want to encircle the opponent, you must deploy the encirclement forces in advance instead of temporarily dividing the troops - the latter is undoubtedly seeking death in any era.
And Li Wen... Although Li Wen didn't know how to fight all the way, but since he was able to get along, he definitely mastered the art of speaking. As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Jiancheng showed a mixture of surprise and surprise.
Gaze, look at the air with wide eyes, and start "thinking"...
Of course, the actual situation, to put it bluntly, is that Gao Jianwu had this intention for a long time, but he never knew how to justify it...
And Li Wen undoubtedly gave himself an excellent step forward.
It’s not that I don’t want to fight against the Tang Dynasty, but it’s not that I care about the people...
But then again, there is another reason why Gao Jianwu is unwilling to say this himself, and that is because he is worried... that even if he surrenders, he may not be treated well.
The Tang army was clearly a tiger and wolf army. Since they were tigers and wolves, after they surrendered... could they leave themselves a way to survive?
Thinking about it, I always feel a little suspicious!
So after thinking about it, Gao Jianwu didn't say anything directly in the end. Although he looked thoughtful at this time, which clearly meant that he had silently approved Li Wen's proposal to some extent, but after a long time, he didn't say anything.
say what.
He just raised his eyes and kept scanning the faces of the ministers in the palace, as if he was hesitant to speak.
There is no doubt that Gao Jianwu just wanted to ask the generals present...if he surrendered to the Tang army, would the Tang army treat him well? Regarding this, he wanted to ask the generals in the palace for their opinions.
But it was impossible for Gao Jianwu to ask this matter directly, because this matter is...surrendering is quite "unbecoming", and then asking these people under his command how they will be treated after surrendering? This kind of question is really...
Maybe one of the generals will take his head out tomorrow and give himself the reputation of a traitor to Goguryeo.
After much thought, Gao Jianwu still felt that it was not possible!
At this time, Yeon Gaesumun on the side had already frowned, looking at Gao Jianwu's face with very confused eyes.
What does this mean? Could it be?
A question mark slowly rose above Yeon Gaesumun's head, and he felt a little annoyed in his heart.
What the hell is this? The battle hasn't ended yet, and Goguryeo's main force is still there. What... is it possible that we have to surrender?
For Yeon Gaesumun.
Surrender is unacceptable, let alone such an unreasonable surrender!
But it was at this moment that Li Wen, who was on the side, observed what Gao Jianwu was thinking. Of course... he immediately saw what Gao Jianwu was thinking.
That's right...this guy definitely wants to surrender!
His guess was indeed correct. And...Li Wen also discovered a situation that was quite beneficial to him.
Although Gao Jianwu should have wanted to surrender, the group of civil servants and generals below were clearly confused, nervous, and uneasy. Even Yeon Gaesumun looked clearly not happy.
What does this mean? It means that at this moment, only I am Gao Jianwu’s family member!
Hehe... Li Wen was extremely excited when he realized this.
Isn’t this a good opportunity? As long as I work harder, I will become the king’s henchman this time...
Li Wen felt excited in his heart and said quickly, "Your Majesty, it's not too late. The Tang army is pressing forward step by step. What are the ordinary people of Goguryeo like?"
"What's wrong with the common people? They have to sacrifice their lives for the struggle between the two countries? Besides, your Majesty... I think what the Tang army did is to cut off the world's strong soldiers and recruit the world's wise men for your own use. With your Majesty's martial virtue,
, how could the emperor of the Southern Dynasty not step back and welcome the king!"
Li Wen's narration was full of emotions, and he even burst into tears at the end of the story...
And when he spoke like this, many of the Goguryeo generals present showed signs of excitement, and their eyes slowly glowed...
Yes, the generals of Goguryeo were a minority in Goguryeo, but when a group of generals gathered together, they became a new majority. And most people...of course they would gradually be confused by Li Wen's words when faced with them.
Shaken. Especially Gao Jianwu...
Upon hearing Li Wen's words, his whole brain suddenly started to tremble with excitement.
He immediately started pacing back and forth on the spot again. After pacing back and forth several times, Gao Jianwu suddenly... suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Alas...what can we do?"
"I want to fight to the death, but what about the common people... the common people!"
Gao Jianwu suddenly screamed sadly at the ceiling of the hall.
When Li Wen saw this, he was immediately overjoyed - Gao Jianwu's words certainly meant that he did not agree to surrender. After all, "I want to fight to the death", but who is Li Wen? He has been able to get to this position in Goguryeo for so many years because of his skills.
Something to come.
Gao Jianwu's true meaning was clearly to imply that the ministers below should come over quickly to dissuade him, and if he died in war, he would die in remonstrance!
So Li Wen said, "Your Majesty, the common people are the most important thing, the common people are the most important thing..."
After Li Wen's advice, Gao Jianwu stared at him with tears in his eyes and excitement.
"Li Wen, you are such a rebellious minister. I, Goguryeo, have been in Zuo for hundreds of years. How can you just...just..."
"Your Majesty, the most important thing is that the Goguryeo people are alive, isn't it?"
When Gao Jianwu objected indignantly, Li Wen also lost no time in bringing tears to his eyes and stepped up his efforts to persuade.
Seeing this scene, Yeon Gaesumun was stunned.
He looked at Gao Jianwu, Li Wen... and the group of unscrupulous people in the hall with wide eyes.
At this moment, Yeon Gae So-moon was unable to complain.
Damn it, do you guys dare to be more shameless?
A gangster without courage is a gangster without courage, and he still has to package himself like this...
Damn it, isn't this what the Han people say about wearing a crown while wearing a monkey's head?
Thinking about it this way, Yeon Gaesumun felt that he was really screwed up. Has Goguryeo become like this now? And these people...
Then he looked at the group of civil servants and generals surrounding Gao Jianwu and Li Wen. Yuengai Suwen thought this was a bit funny.
After thinking about it, in the strange atmosphere where everyone was "righteously indignant" and others were "admonishing", and the atmosphere of benevolence, justice and morality was rampant, Yeon Gaesomun couldn't help but solemnly said,
"Your Majesty, the Tiger and Wolf Dynasty of the Tang Kingdom has the ambition to annex the world. If your Majesty does not fight with death, how can you be tolerated by the kings and ministers of the Tang Kingdom?"
Yeon Gae Suwen felt that his words were extremely well-intentioned, speaking directly from Gao Jianwu's personal perspective.
