In life, we all encounter some regretful things, leaving the shadow of "regret too late".
Even emperors in ancient times could not avoid these mundane dilemmas. For example, if Li Longji could foresee the future, he would definitely seize the opportunity to get rid of An Lushan, a rebellious minister and thief, to avoid a heavy blow to his dynasty.
Has Li Longji ever had such an opportunity? The answer is yes, and more than once. Unfortunately, this emperor may have become deaf because of his long stay in power, and he has missed opportunities again and again.
Today, let's focus on analyzing the reasons why Li Longji missed the best opportunity to kill An Lushan.
An Lushan, with his sycophants and military talents, has been the deputy envoy of Youzhou Jiedu all the way, and his career is bright. However, a single light defeat resulted in a massive defeat, and his army was almost completely wiped out.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the main generals who attacked privately and caused heavy losses due to greed for merit and recklessness must be beheaded. Zhang Shouqi was anxious, he knew that An Lushan was a capable general, and it was a pity that such an ending would be a pity.
Zhang Shouqi decided to give it a go and rescue his beloved general An Lushan. Although according to the convention, An Lushan should be executed in Youzhou, Zhang Shouqi decided to escort him to Chang'an and let Emperor Li Longji make the final decision.
An Lushan will definitely die in Youzhou, but in Chang'an, he still has half a chance of survival. However, when An Lushan came to Chang'an, his life was in danger, because his opponent was the iron-faced and selfless prime minister Zhang Jiuling.
Legend has it that Zhang Jiuling is extremely smart and can see through people's hearts, and An Lushan is obviously difficult to escape in front of him. As a result, Zhang Jiuling saw through An Lushan's disguise at a glance and ordered him to be executed.
In order to ensure the execution, Zhang Jiuling also deliberately wrote a large paragraph urging the execution to be carried out as soon as possible. He believes that Tian Sui Tho's killing of Zhuang Jia and Sun Wu's beheading of palace concubines are all to ensure the smooth flow of military orders, and Zhang Shouqi also needs to ensure the discipline and execution of the army by executing An Lushan.
An Lushan violated the military order and advanced recklessly, resulting in the annihilation of the army. In addition, when I observe his physiognomy, it seems that there is a reversal, and if I don't kill him, there may be even greater disasters in the future. ”
Zhang Jiuling's physiognomy is very accurate, and he can see An Lushan's opposite appearance just by looking at his face, and he is really a god and a man! However, An Lushan's life and death depend entirely on Li Longji's judgment. As expected, the balance was tilted in favor of An Lushan, and Li Longji had a dispute with Zhang Jiuling, who took the story of Wang Yan, the prime minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, who knew Shile as an example, and said: "Don't use Wang Yifu to know Shile, and harm Zhongliang in vain." ”
What he meant was to avoid wronging good people by believing too much in physiognomy. This allusion tells us that physiognomy is not omnipotent, and the complexity and change of human nature are even more impossible, so we need to consider more carefully and comprehensively when making decisions.
Wang Yifu misled the country with empty talk, and although Shi Le was the emperor of the Qian tribe, Li Longji used it to ridicule Zhang Jiuling. Although the face is a technical job, can Zhang Jiuling really see An Lushan's inversion?
Perhaps it was based on An Lushan's ability and conversation and insight into his ambitions that he came to this conclusion.
Title: Prophecy in the Accident: Zhang Jiuling's Road to the Altar and Li Longji's Regret Copywriter: Hey, guess what? This unfortunate prophecy came true, and no one expected that Zhang Jiuling would also become famous because of this incident and be praised on the altar.
Sadly, Li Longji, the unlucky child, turned a deaf ear to his advice and eventually went further and further on the road of no return.
