In the commentary on the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qin Qiong was portrayed as brave and strategic, and had to find a handsome man with a good appearance to play, while Wei Chigong was portrayed as a five-year-old, three-thick, and black man, who had the courage and recklessness to act, and became the Sui and Tang version of Zhang Fei. In fact, this is a great distortion of the historical truth. In fact, on the contrary, Qin Qiong is the role of only the courage of The Pifu, and Wei Chigong has courage and strategy, so Li Shimin has always reused Wei Chigong and not Qin Qiong, and the crucial Xuanwumen Battle, Li Shimin took Wei Chigong with him, and Qin Qiong only responded with foreign aid. After the successful coup d'état, Lieutenant Chi Gong became the first meritorious warrior, several ranks higher than Qin Qiong.
Wei Chigong was brave and good at fighting, and began to follow Liu Wuzhougan, and later surrendered to Li Shimin. During the period when Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng seized the throne, Li Jiancheng repeatedly bribed Wei Chigong with heavy money, but Wei Chigong was unmoved. Li Yuan wanted to kill Wei Chigong, and Li Shimin desperately tried to protect him. On the eve of the change in Xuanwumen that decided Li Shimin's fate, Li Shimin was unable to make up his mind to act, and Wei Chigong repeatedly knew the reason, saying that human nature is afraid of death, and everyone is willing to follow Li Shimin with death. Li Shimin's hesitation in handling affairs is not wise, and it is not heroic to be decisive in the face of danger. Eight hundred warriors outside were already armed with weapons and armor, and things had come to this point, what are you waiting for. Li Shimin made up his mind.
In his later years, in order to avoid Li Shimin's suspicion, Wei Chi Jingde was particularly superstitious about the elixir, grinding gold stones all day long, swallowing mica, building pavilions and pavilions, surrounded by silk on the outside, and entertaining himself with singers and tricks, and did not associate with outsiders for sixteen years. This is definitely not something that a so-called brave man can think of doing. The only person in Datang to do this was Li Jing, who also took medicine and refined Dan all day in his later years, known as Li Yaoshi. After Wei Chigong's death, he was loyal and loyal to Yongwu.
Qin Qiong began to work under Lai Hu'er, and was evaluated by Lai Hu'er as Xiao Yong and fierce, followed by Li Mi Wang Shichong, and finally surrendered to Li Shimin. But the idea of surrendering to Li Shimin was not his idea, but was interpreted as a stupid Cheng biting Jin, Cheng Biting Jin said, Wang Shichong is shallow and narrow-minded, likes to gamble and swear, this is just an old witch, where is the monarch who corrects the chaos. Qin Qiong listened, and only then did he follow Cheng Tojin to surrender to Li Shimin. With his intelligence, he couldn't have imagined this layer at all.
After Qin Qiong followed Li Shimin, he became Li Shimin's royal thug, and every time there were military generals in the enemy formation who showed off their strong soldiers and horses, Li Shimin let Qin Qiong go forward and single-handedly kill the enemy among the people. Later, Qin Qiong often fell ill, and whenever he was sick, he said to people: I have been fighting horses all my life, going through more than two hundred battles, big and small battles, repeatedly being seriously injured, and bleeding a lot before and after, how can I not get sick? Liu Biao's evaluation: Qin Wuwei is brave and powerful. Huang Pengnian's evaluation: Qin Qiong's Prancing Horse Spear Stabbing Xiao will be among the ten thousand people, and the courage is also in the force. After Qin Qiong's death, He was known as Zhuang, and the original meaning of Zhuang was big and powerful.
Therefore, why did Li Shimin not reuse Qin Qiong and reuse Wei Chigong, only because Wei Chigong had courage and strategy to take on great responsibilities, and Qin Qiong was only a brave husband. Xiaobian apologizes here for subverting the handsome image of Qin Qiong in everyone's mind.
