What the young man said made sense. Many people nodded secretly at that time. Even Gao Sheji, the commander of Li Xian's personal soldiers, nodded, and then said: "Your Highness, what this dear friend said makes sense.
Since these Khitan people have surrendered and now have no power to resist, they only need to be escorted back to Luoyang and handed over to the emperor for disposal. This will not only gain the prince a reputation, but also show that the prince adheres to the emperor's orders in everything. Why not
for?"
Li Xian nodded when he heard this and said softly: "Sheji, you have not been with me in vain all these years. I am also very happy that you can think about many issues so clearly and thoroughly. But this time, I'm afraid you want to
Wrong. Let me ask you, if I hand over these prisoners of war to my father, what do you think my father will do with them?"
Although the voice of Li Xian's words was not loud, it was enough to ensure that the young man could hear it. In fact, his explanation was not only to Gao Sheji, but also to the young man, because since his arrival,
As he kept observing the young man, he felt that the young man was also a talent. If the young man was willing, he would not mind giving some advice to the young man. With this purpose in mind, he would naturally let the young man hear it clearly.
After all, Gao Sheji has been following Li Xian for many years, and he can still hear Li Xian's intentions clearly, so he said loudly to Li Xian: "I believe that as the king of a country, the emperor has always been benevolent and righteous, and he will definitely spare his life."
For those Khitan people, I think we should let them go back and live peacefully as common people, right?"
"Haha, chicken, you are right, my father will definitely do this, but I don't want these bastards to survive." When Li Xian said this, his tone became sharp and he shouted loudly: "
This group of bastards look very pitiful now, but who knows how they massacred the people after they arrived in Zhaozhou City? In the city of more than 100,000 people, only a few thousand people are left, and the others have suffered.
Seeing the crazy massacre by these executioners, how many people and women were ravaged? How many innocent old people and children were brutally killed? Here is the burial ground of these innocent people who were massacred. Their bones are still cold and they cannot rest in peace. They hope
We officers and soldiers can avenge them and make those murderous bandits pay the due price! Don't we, the people of Tang Dynasty, get sympathy when they are killed? Is it because I am cruel when they are killed? What nonsense is this? I am today
We must subvert this truth, let these invaders and murderers pay the due price, and let them use their lives to apologize for these dead people!"
When Li Xian said these words, not only the Khitan soldiers were speechless and unable to justify their deaths, but all those who survived in Zhaozhou City all had tears in their eyes. They had always heard that, throughout the ages,
Rulers always talk about loving their people like sons, and many emperors are even called famous emperors through the ages. However, few people can, like Li Xian, kill those who invaded their country and massacred their own people.
The purpose of killing the traitors is just to uphold justice for the people in their own country? Although they dare not say it in their hearts, the fact is that not to mention the current emperor, even Emperor Taizongwen, who has been praised endlessly, cannot do this.
at this point!
If something similar happens, they always choose to forgive the invading thieves, gain a good reputation for them, and at the same time win a period of peace for them, while the people who have been deeply affected by the war can only
Silently choosing to let time heal the pain in their hearts, and then consciously choosing to forget the serious disasters that happened around their loved ones.
But His Highness the Prince is not doing this. He is really willing to punish the intruders in order to protect these people and truly uphold justice for the people! All people with some knowledge understand that the Prince's decision is enough to prove his love for the people.
How determined is your determination to protect yourself?
Therefore, everyone, including the young man who tried to persuade Li Xian before, couldn't help but get excited and shouted loudly: "Long live, His Royal Highness!" (Long live here is still a word of cheer, and has nothing to do with the **** imperial power.
relation)
"But Your Highness, if you do this, you will have to bear many charges. For example, the murder of prisoners of war will fall on you, Your Highness. There will also be many people who will attack His Highness out of nothing and you will secretly win people's hearts. In this case, you will definitely
Someone will take the opportunity to harm His Highness the Crown Prince, wouldn’t His Highness the Crown Prince consider your own situation?"
After all, the young man was very concerned about Li Xian's situation. Although he was moved when he saw this scene, he was more worried about Li Xian.
But I saw Li Xian said calmly: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Don't say that nothing will happen to me when I go back. Even if something does happen, I will never regret it. Humph, our Tang Dynasty is a great country.
The status is not only because of the country’s prosperity, its developed industry and commerce, and its rich culture and art, but more importantly because of our people. Where does our country’s wealth come from? It’s all the tribute paid by the people! Our strong national power
Where do they come from? It is our people who stand up during the war and defend our country to the death! Where do our glorious buildings and great projects come from? They are all built by our people! Without the people, where would we be, the Tang Dynasty?
Rivers and mountains that are as strong as iron? Without the people, how could we have the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty? The so-called people-oriented thinking of Old Master Meng, and Emperor Taizong Wen's theory of water and boats are still in my ears. How can we dare to forget these important opinions and ignore the safety of the people? So
, For the good people of the Tang Dynasty, I have suffered some injustices, so what’s the point?”
Li Xian's voice became louder and louder. By the end, even he himself was filled with passion and could not control himself.
After hearing Li Xian's words, everyone burst into cheers, and the young man was deeply touched. He bowed to Li Xian and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so considerate of the people. He is really one of the people of the Tang Dynasty."
Fortunately, if His Highness the Crown Prince does not give up, I am willing to follow His Highness the Crown Prince and die for His Highness the Crown Prince, no matter what."
Hearing this, Li Xian quickly helped the young man up and said happily: "Since I came here, I have begun to pay attention to you and found that your talent is outstanding. Now that you are willing to assist me, it is also my luck. I don't know how talented you are."
What’s your last name?”
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. My surname is Liu and my given name is Youqiu. I am from Wuqiang, Jizhou." The young man saluted Li Xianyi, bowed and said. (To be continued.)
