860th Omen of a Falling Horse

Xunzi thinks: People are born evil!

When you are an ignorant baby, you will often cry over a mouthful of milk, a toy, or any place that doesn't go your way.

And when they grow up, selfishness, lies, and deception are always with them.

Such a creature, you say that he is inherently good? Isn't that just deceiving yourself?

Hunger and desire to eat, cold and warmth, labor and rest, good and evil, is born of people and has it, it is the one who has nothing to wait for, and it is the same thing as Yu and Ji.

This sentence is what Xunzi said!

In this sentence, he proposed for the first time that the evil of human nature is rooted in the bones, and no matter whether it is Yao Shun or Ji Xuan, it will not be avoided.

The only difference: some people grow up to restrain themselves and let good outweigh evil!

And some allow their selfishness to swell and let evil prevail over good!

Here, Li Jiancheng is undoubtedly the latter.

This unprovoked fall from the horse, he couldn't help but not reflect on himself, but instead sprinkled all his resentment on others, especially those who he hated the most on weekdays.

After staying in Li Jiancheng's army for a long time, you will find a very strange problem:

Here, whether it is a general or a small soldier, it is clearly divided into three factions.

This first faction is naturally a supporter centered on Li Jiancheng.

Among them, represented by Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Wang Si, Xue Wancheng, and Xue Wanche brothers, they control the command of the army.

The second faction is those who support Li Shimin.

This is represented by Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Shubao and others, supplemented by the vast majority of soldiers in the army!

Although these people do not have the power to command and make decisions, they are indispensable in charging into battle and overcoming difficulties.

The third faction is dominated by the emperor and the infiltrators of various big families.

People at this level are the least in the army, and they are also the least vocalized, and those who are excluded are the most serious.

A large army, the combination of three factions is indeed very strange, and at the same time, this also reflects Li Jiancheng's lack of control over the military formation.

You must know that in his younger brother Li Shimin's army, although every time he fights, there will be attacks or retreats, and various different voices and opinions appear.

But once Li Shimin decides to make a decision, all other voices will disappear.

Whoever in the entire army will strive to achieve this decision as the ultimate goal.

It is precisely with such an army that Li Shimin can repeatedly create miracles and fight back in a Jedi!

It won't be like Li Jiancheng now, who can only bully and bully Liu Heimin, who is like a bandit, can't, and doesn't dare to fight a tough battle!

It is said that his family knows his own affairs, and Li Jiancheng has not tried to recruit Cheng Yanjin and others, but in the end, it will always be in vain.

Do you want us to fight? Yes! You say where to fight, we will find a way to beat you down!

As for personal friendship? I'm sorry, we're all rough people, I don't understand that, you call me if there's something, I'm going to sleep if it's okay......

"What kind of ecstasy did that Li Shimin pour into you?! Lone is the crown prince, the future emperor, if you don't owe allegiance to Lone, who are you loyal to?! ”

Before he arrived in Chang'an, Li Jiancheng, who suddenly encountered a fall from his horse, was already a new hatred and an old hatred surging into his heart!

As a result, when he arrived at the ten-mile long pavilion outside Chang'an, and saw the greeting procession of a few people, Li Jiancheng could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, and almost wanted to go crazy!

Li Ying of the Ministry of Rites had been waiting for a long time in this long pavilion with ventilation on all sides, and when he saw a black army coming from a distance, he was immediately overjoyed, rubbing his frozen hands and running to the side of the road.

At the same time, the people who came with him were also trembling one by one, holding various ritual utensils, trying to create a warm welcome formation.

However, just a few of them, the formation was not visible, but the shabby was particularly obvious.

Especially compared with the last time Li Shimin returned to Beijing, the whole country celebrated, they really might as well not come!

"Minister, Li Jin, welcome ......"

Standing on the side of the road, he finally waited for Li Jiancheng to come closer, Li Ying shouted, and was about to give a salute, but he saw Li Jiancheng's extremely cold eyes first!

"Excuse me!" Almost squeezing out these words from between his teeth, Li Jiancheng was afraid that in the next second, he would not be able to control himself and hurt others!

"Excused? Is this also avoidable? ”

Li Jin was stunned for a moment, his frozen brain had not yet reacted, but Li Jiancheng in front of him had already clenched his fists and drove the horse straight past him.

Li Ying didn't know, if it weren't for his scruples, Li Jiancheng would have the heart to strangle several of them alive!

"My lord, this... What to do? ”

Seeing this scene, Li Jin's subordinates were also stunned, and waited until the army led by Li Jiancheng began to pass in front of them one after another, and then they came back to their senses and hurriedly gathered around and asked.

The corners of Li Jin's mouth twitched, and he suddenly turned his head and glared at his subordinates, and said angrily: "What else can I do?" Cold! ”

"But this thing ......" his subordinates shrank their necks when they were reprimanded, but they still hesitated a little when they saw the big red palace flowers and other things in the tray.

Li Ying picked up his hand, looked at the Tang Dynasty soldiers who walked in front of him in a muffled voice, and muttered, "What? The prince doesn't want it, you still dare to put it on his head? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" His subordinates finally got smarter, and shook their heads quickly.

"Don't dare?" Li Ying snorted coldly and continued: "Don't you dare to talk so much nonsense?!" Tell a few of you, you have been clever in the past two days, don't have anything to do to get to the side of the prince and the prince, I can't save you if you touch the mold! ”

Several of the subordinates who reacted nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what the adults said is!" Let's just end the little officials, how dare we mess with the affairs of those big people......"

"Hmph, you don't dare! Let's go, there is a five-mile short pavilion in front! Let's go and see the excitement, remember not to get too far ahead......"

Seeing that he had already opened a distance from Li Jiancheng in front of him, Li Ying finally led people slowly and walked forward with the side of the large army.

"Hey, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be angry and die when he sees the scene......"

According to the rules of the Sui and Tang dynasties, when the soldiers returned from the expedition, whenever they were victorious, the imperial court needed to send people to meet the main general ten miles outside the city, the only difference was the number of people who greeted them, and the level of their positions.

The short pavilion five miles outside the city has always been a place for the people and their families to greet the soldiers, and here, there are no numbers or regulations, and it is all voluntary.

Xiao Han and the others came back last time, and the people who greeted them lined up from the gate of Chang'an City to the ten-mile long pavilion.

Even he, Li Jiancheng, appeared in full costume!

Although his intentions were a little bad at the beginning, no one can deny the scale of that time!

Nowadays, things are not people, Li Jiancheng looked at both sides of the empty road, and then thought about the surging crowd at the beginning, compared with the two, he almost wanted to vomit three liters of blood in depression.
