Li Jing is a person who must be very familiar to everyone, and almost everyone who has watched "Journey to the West" knows that he is a general in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, and he is a talent of both literature and martial arts in the Tang Dynasty
He was also a famous general with outstanding merits in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, he was good at using soldiers, good at strategy, originally a Sui general, and later served Li Tang, making great military achievements for the establishment and development of the Tang Dynasty. Wherever his troops are headed, the battle will inevitably be won, and if he wants to capture any city, he will certainly be able to take it, which has made immortal contributions to the stability and unification of the Tang Dynasty's frontiers. In his later years, he was also good at insight into current events, retreated from the rapids, and was praised by the emperor. At the same time, he managed the army and fought and accumulated a set
Successful experience has further enriched and developed China's military thinking and theory. He wrote many military books such as "Li Jing's Six Military Mirrors", but most of them have been lost, and his descendants edited "Tang Taizong Li Weigong Asked Right", which was included in the "Seven Books of the Martial Classics" during the Northern Song Dynasty, which is a representative work of ancient military science.
In the 17th year of Zhenguan, the emperor ordered people to draw twenty-four meritorious figures on the Ling Yan Pavilion, and he was impressively listed, ranking eighth. Throughout his life, he used soldiers very carefully, penetrated military aircraft, strategized, and judged accurately, so he was often invincible. Because he had outstanding military talent, the emperor had invited him to teach Hou Jun the art of collecting war, but half of the teaching, whenever he went to an important place, he was always silent, and he was unwilling to teach it no matter how he asked. This made Hou very unhappy, so he wrote to the emperor and framed him for not wanting to teach the art of war and wanting to rebel.
Because of this incident, the emperor often criticized Li Jing, but he thought that the method he taught was enough to let him go out to fight, and he could also achieve good results, he felt that Hou Xue's advanced martial arts were improper ideas, and he expected that he would definitely rebel in the future, so that His Highness would pay more attention to this person's every move, but the emperor did not take this matter to heart, Zhenguan 17 years, as Li Jing expected, Hou really rebelled, which also proved that his judgment was correct.
Hou this person is another favorite general who is more important to the emperor of the dynasty, who once followed him in the southern conquest of the northern war, and also made many outstanding military achievements, which was deeply appreciated and used by the emperor. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there were constant contradictions between the Eastern Palace and the Qin Dynasty, and he repeatedly advised the emperor to act as soon as possible and seize the position of crown prince. He was also one of the important participants in the Xuanwumen Revolution. After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he made Hou a Great General of the Right Guard as a reward for his contributions. Therefore, this can also make sense why he did not care about Li Jing's words and ignored Hou.
In the 13th year of Zhenguan, the emperor appointed Hou as the chief of the Jiaohe Road March, led an army to conquer the king of Gaochang, and Hou Ma succeeded, capturing the place in one fell swoop, capturing the king, and the country was also destroyed. However, due to his interests, he privately took possession of many gold and silver jewels in this country for himself, and his subordinates also began to steal gold and silver jewelry after they knew about it, Hou was afraid that the ugly things he had done would be exposed, so he did not dare to punish the crimes of the generals, and then indulged his subordinates to rob the treasures, so after Banshi returned to the dynasty, Hou was arrested according to law and imprisoned, Hou thought that he had made great military achievements for the Tang Dynasty, but in the end he was imprisoned because he took a little property, so he was very unconvinced.
In the 17th year of Zhenguan, he colluded with the crown prince Li Chengqian with the intention of plotting a rebellion, and after the matter was revealed, the emperor remembered his previous merits and wanted to spare his life, but the ministers believed that he, as the founding general, also colluded with thieves to plot rebellion, which was even more unforgivable, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public. In the end, the emperor could not withstand the pressure of the yoyo crowd and could only behead him fiercely. Moreover, his wife and children were not spared, and they were also seated, but the emperor agreed to his request to forgive his wife and children in his past affection, so they could survive, so his wife and children were exiled to Lingnan. He himself is the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, the greatest merit, but he also holds his pride, can not be alone, and finally violated the law of the land, disobeyed the monarch, and finally can only usher in a tragic end, if he can resist the temptation of money and fame, alone, may also flow for hundreds of years, fell a good reputation of a famous Tang Dynasty general, but one step wrong step, in the end it is difficult to end, so the more capable people should pay attention to cleanliness and self-improvement, so that they can live a full life.
Therefore, Li Jing's language has really been confirmed, and I have to admire his vision of people, which is really very poisonous, worthy of being a famous general throughout the ages.
