The princess did not want to make complaints about her brother, who was tucking away from the bottom. She asked, ”this black Liu has been beaten by the king of Qin once. Is it supposed to be worse than before?”
Princess Pingyang shook her head and said, ”No. There are two reasons why I expected Liu Hei Kai to attack Hebei and Henan. First of all, the Turks must ask for help from Liu heikai. Chang'an must be the purpose. If you want to destroy the Tang Dynasty, you must first take Chang'an. If you want to win Chang'an, there will be anti kings everywhere, and the Central Plains will not attack and break itself. ”
Xue Lang nodded. Indeed, according to historical records, Liu Hei Kai only started in Hebei and Henan, and several prefectures rebelled against him. If Chang'an was defeated and the royal court was lost, the so-called Tang Empire would probably become a loose sand.
Princess Pingyang continued: ”second, Liu heikai is the former headquarters of Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande is a man of benevolence and righteousness. He enjoys a high reputation in Hebei and Henan, especially in Hebei. In addition, there are still a lot of old Dou Jiande's troops in Hebei. Liu Hei Kai fought for Dou Jiande's revenge. Naturally, there were many people who responded naturally, and some people responded to his defeat and recovery. ”
The so-called people win the world. Hebei is Liu heikai's territory, with many supporters, so he naturally wants to occupy it. In this way, it is Dou Jiande's legacy that Liu heikai caused so much trouble to the new Tang Dynasty.
Speaking of all, after Dou Jiande's incident, there will be so many rebellions by Dou Jiande's old troops, and Saint Li Yuan should bear most of the responsibility. Dou Jiande is one of the most famous and charismatic anti kings.
Dou Jiande's subordinates could share weal and woe with the soldiers. The soldiers were willing to work for him and were loved by his subordinates. Many local scholars supported him.
In order to save his good friend Wang Shichong in hulaoguan, Dou Jiande was defeated by Li Shimin, the king of Qin. Li Shimin cherished his talent and admired his conduct. Instead of killing him, he captured him alive and sent him to Chang'an.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan at this time did something not very good evaluation, he ordered the execution of Dou Jiande.
In terms of the interests of his family and country, keeping Dou Jiande's reputation is a great obstacle for the Tang Dynasty to really recover Hebei and Henan. After all, if Dou Jiande rebelled again, Hebei and Henan would be his loyal supporters. Killing Dou Jiande is a good choice for the imperial court.
However, this advantage was based on the fact that the court could pacify Hebei and Henan. In these two places, there are still many old members of Dou Jiande, and there are many local scholars who have supported Dou Jiande. Only when these people are pacified can these two places be regarded as real recovery. If the pacification is not good, these two places are unstable factors.
Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty did not do a good job in this work. The officials sent may have seen the reason why Li Yuan ordered Dou Jiande to be killed, or perhaps Li Yuan had some instructions. In short, when the boy went to Hebei, he would not only pick his nose and eye, but also arrest and punish Dou Jiande at will, which means settling accounts after autumn.
To be practical and realistic, Li Yuan was also a talented emperor. He founded the Tang Dynasty. The political system and laws of the Tang Dynasty were established by Li Yuan and lasted for several generations.
However, during Li Yuan's reign, none of Li Mi, Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei, who were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, came to a bad end. In dealing with these anti Wang issues, Li Yuan's mind is obviously not as good as his second son, Li Shimin.
The opposite emperor had such a virtue. Dou Jiande's old followers were masters of the knife's head and licking blood. Naturally, they would not be willing to wait for death. Therefore, Liu Hei Kai became powerful only when Liu Hei Kai was rebellious and his followers and responders were numerous. Otherwise, Liu heikai is a drunkard who likes to gamble and drinks. Even his father and brother hate him. How can he have such a reputation for so many people to respond to him? The only person relying on him is Dou Jiande's reputation.
Princess Pingyang is clearly aware of this matter. However, it is her Aya who makes the decision. As a daughter, she does not talk much about it.
