Chapter 51 History pen is like a knife

Although Chen Fei wanted to be an official and become a wealthy person, he still had the bottom line of being a country and a national. Li Shimin wanted to marry and give tribute to the Turks, which Chen Fei would never be able to recognize. Chen Fei was born in later generations, so he was naturally a super angry young man. And he was a soldier, even if he was a soldier, he still had a passionate time. Now that the Turks are fighting, these grandsons do not consider how to deal with the enemy, but instead think about exchanging peace by paying tribute with relatives. This is something that Chen Fei absolutely cannot tolerate.

Why was the Ming Dynasty so missed by people? In fact, it was because the Ming Dynasty had backbone. When it was wealthy, it was not as good as the Song Dynasty, and when it was territory, it was not as good as the Tang Dynasty. However, the reason why they were respected was mainly because they had backbone. No matter how dangerous they were, they had never compromised with foreign invaders. Even when they were trapped, they would never pay tribute, pay compensation, or give a marriage princess, or sign any unequal treaty. Therefore, this is the backbone of the nation, so the Ming Dynasty could be respected by future generations.

Although the Tang Dynasty was known as the most powerful era in China, it was far inferior to the Ming Dynasty in terms of backbone. As an angry young man in later generations, if Chen Fei wanted to accept this method of marrying and selling wealth to foreign countries to exchange for peace, then Chen Fei would not do it anymore. Although Chen Fei became an official to make a living, Chen Fei would not sell his conscience for wealth and honor, and his integrity as a descendant of the Yan and Huang of China. If Li Shimin really had to use this method to exchange for peace, then Chen Fei would not be able to serve him. Anyway, after Chen Fei left, he could do well with his own ability as an official.

"Crown Prince, and everyone, your every word and deed today will be recorded in the history books of later generations. You can marry and pay tribute to the Turks today, but you can never hide it from the people of later generations. Crown Prince, even if you become the emperor in the future, you will not be able to do anything to the descendants. Later generations will remember that you paid tribute to the Turks today, the princess who gave tribute to the Turks today, and what kind of face will you be the master of the world in the future. At that time, what kind of face do you have to lead the world? Even if you can barely sit on the throne, this matter will be a stain that you will never erase in your life. And future generations will look down on you because of this. If you really want to do this, then pretend I didn't say it!" Chen Fei said.

After Chen Fei finished speaking, a civil servant also took the initiative to come out and said, "As the official of the Grand Historian Bureau, the duty of my minister is to record the historical books meticulously and without any mistakes. I will record what you said and done today and enter the historical books. Please respect yourself!"

Chen Fei did not expect that he would meet a small celebrity, Li Chunfeng, who is an astronomical and meteorologist in the Tang Dynasty, but now he is an official responsible for recording historical books. He took the initiative to show that everything today will be recorded in historical books. If Li Shimin really wanted to pay tribute with him, Li Chunfeng would definitely record it word by word in history books, and later generations can see it. At that time, it would be hard to say how future generations would evaluate Li Shimin.

Yuchi Gong also took off his official hat and said, "Crown Prince, if you really would rather take the wealth in the treasury to the Turks than to reward the three armies, it means that the Tang Dynasty no longer needs us to defend our country, so I also asked the prince to allow me to retire and return home! I cannot accept a court that would rather give the wealth princess to foreign tribes than to reward the three armies!"

Yuchi Gong's words immediately made many military generals come out and take off their official hats. Then, obviously, if Li Shimin disagreed, he would resign immediately.

"This is a ban on the palace!"

Everyone suddenly had this idea in their minds, that is, under the stimulation of Chen Fei, the generals actually began to force the palace. Obviously, they were unwilling to plan to pay tribute to each other through the conditions of mutual tribute in exchange for the Turks to withdraw their troops. The Tang Dynasty is not without strength now, but when it has the strength, it still has to pay tribute to marry each other, which is obviously unacceptable. Therefore, the generals were also disappointed, which made them very angry and wanted to use resignation as a threat.

However, the behavior of the military general was driven by a civil servant, which was obviously a bit ridiculous.

However, when everyone heard Li Chunfeng say that he would record the behavior of the people on the scene into the history books, no one spoke immediately.

Because ancient people are different from later generations, ancient people attach great importance to reputation after death, that is, reputation after death. These reputations are written by historians. If they agree to the friendship and tribute today, it is equivalent to being recorded in history books by Li Chunfeng. How can they deal with their reputation in the future?

Even Li Shimin, the future emperor, dare not underestimate his future reputation. If today's events are recorded in history books, then Li Shimin, the emperor, is really shameless to set an example for his descendants. Although many people can say that there are also things in the Han Dynasty that there are also things in the Han Dynasty, this is just to comfort himself. Everyone knows that paying tribute with relatives is not a good thing. So if he agrees to paying tribute with relatives today, he will probably really look down on future generations. So Li Shimin was also helpless. Now it can be said that Chen Fei and a group of military generals forced the palace. If he still stubbornly wanted to pay tribute with relatives, not only would a large group of military officials resign, but he would not be able to restore his reputation in history when he became the emperor in the future. At that time, his emperor who paid tribute with relatives would be able to think about it.

Li Shimin stood up, pulled out the sword beside him, and then said, "Since the Turks bullied me too much and forced my wife to pay tribute, then our Tang Dynasty would never make any sense to pay tribute. From today on, who would say that my Tang Dynasty would pay tribute? I will not forgive me!"

When Chen Fei saw Li Shimin's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Li Shimin is indeed worthy of being the pinnacle of a politician. He changed his face immediately. He just said that he wanted to agree to pay tribute with his wife, but now he has become a person who never pays tribute with his wife. It's so fast to change his face. However, after all, Li Shimin did not say anything about marriage with his wife, so naturally there would be no problem.

"Okay!" "Hello, Prince, we are not afraid of the Turks." "We have a 200,000 army in Chang'an, which is not as good as being close to the Turks!"
