"Wei Zheng, what's wrong with you? Just tell me!" Li Shimin also said with concern.

Li Shimin also saw that Wei Zheng had something in his mind. If it weren't for some reason, Wei Zheng wouldn't have such extreme measures to foreign tribes, so Wei Zheng definitely had something in his mind. As a king, of course, he had to always care about the psychological state of his ministers so that they could feel that their superiors were caring for them, and that would make them work more loyally for themselves! So Li Shimin also took the initiative to care, so that Wei Zheng could truly feel the warmth brought by the emperor!

"Old Wei, tell me! If you don't say it out, it will definitely be more and more uncomfortable. This will not be a good thing for you!" Jing Wen also said.

Wei Zheng's face suddenly became dark, and then changed several times. In the end, he could only say: "Okay! Let me tell me!"

Wei Zheng could only tell what happened back then. Wei Zheng was still young and was only about sixteen years old. At that time, he and his childhood sweetheart and a few friends were traveling in the north. At that time, the Sui Dynasty had not yet experienced the troubled times, and they thought it would be fine. But when they went on a trip, some Turkic cavalry suddenly crossed the border and caused trouble. Wei Zheng and his girlfriend and a few friends who grew up together were targeted by the Turks.

The Turks shot arrows at them, and then Wei Zheng's friends and his childhood girlfriend were shot to death, and Wei Zheng also took advantage of the disaster without dignity. Then, the matter was very simple, losing his friends who grew up with him and his own lover, which made Wei Zheng full of anger towards the Turks. He told the Sui Dynasty's border guards, but those guards had no choice because they could not send troops to attack the Turks. In the end, the matter was left unresolved. Wei Zheng's lovers and friends' hatred could not be avenged.

After Wei Zheng, he became hated the Turks and further hated foreign tribes. He believed that all foreign tribes deserved to die, and all this was the fault of foreign tribes. So he was determined to destroy foreign tribes and avenge his lovers and friends.

"Old Wei. If you are really sad, just cry!" Jing Wen said.

Jing Wen looked at Wei Zheng holding back his tears, and obviously seemed very sad. However, Wei Zheng was also the prime minister of a country, so it was not suitable to cry. However, Jing Wen did not think that crying was a bad thing. After all, if he kept suppressing his emotions and was unwilling to cry, it would probably be bad for his health.

"Wuwuwu..." Wei Zheng suddenly started to cry.

"I'm really crying?" Jing Wen suddenly thought speechlessly.

"I was actually the first one to be shot at the time. I was not shot to the vital point at that time, but I chose to fall down and pretend to be dead. But several of my friends also chose to fight against the Turks. Even my lovers chose to fight against the Turks, rather than be insulted. But I shamefully pretended to die and lived a life of silence. I feel sorry for them! Over the years, I have woken up from dreams many times. They seem to be resenting me. Why did I fear death and dare not fight with them? Why didn't I fight with them back then? This is also a sacrifice for justice. I am contrary to the teachings of my ancestors. I feel ashamed!" Wei Zheng cried.

When Jing Wen heard Wei Zheng's words, he suddenly understood why Wei Zheng hated foreigners so much. In fact, he did not hate foreigners, but actually hated himself. Wei Zheng was greedy for life and fear of death back then, so he pretended to be dead and avoided a disaster. However, his friends and lovers chose to fight against the Turks, but they all died. Wei Zheng always felt that he was very owed to them. Why didn't he fight against the Turks at that time? This was also considered sacrifice for justice. Wei Zheng was actually very fragile in his heart. He deeply blamed himself for his greedy for life and fear of death back then.

This self-blame also shifted his guilt towards his friends and lovers to hatred for the Turks and even foreign tribes. This mentality shift may not be a bad thing for him. Because if people keep blaming themselves, they may eventually collapse or even go crazy. In the idea of ​​"shirking responsibility", he was able to comfort himself very well and let him shift all the "responsibility". In this way, the pressure he personally suffered was reduced a lot. However, the consequence was that Wei Zheng had a deep hatred for the Turks and even foreign tribes.

In fact, the reason why Wei Zheng hated foreign tribes so much was that in addition to the hatred between his friends and lovers, the more important thing was that he transferred all his guilt towards his friends and lovers to his hatred against the Turks. This made Wei Zheng not bear too much pressure and guilt, and that he did not become a madman.

"Old Wei, in fact, you don't have to blame yourself. It's no big deal if you are greedy for life and fear of death. It's human nature to be greedy for life and fear of death. Even if an ants live secretly, there's nothing impossible for you to be afraid of death! Besides, if you don't survive, you can't serve my Tang Dynasty and then defeat the Turks! You have also avenged your revenge for them, so you don't need to blame yourself!" Jing Wen said.

Jing Wen just wanted to comfort Wei Zheng now. Wei Zheng was obviously very sad to cry here. His self-blame for his lover and friends obviously almost broke down.

"Yes! Wei Zheng, you don't have to blame yourself. Survival is everyone's idea, and it's understandable that you choose to pretend to be dead. After all, you are not a soldier, so there is no need to fight to kill the enemy. You pretend to be dead is just an action to survive. As for your lover and friends, they are also trying to survive, so they fight against the Turks with eggs. In fact, you all chose for one purpose, but they just used different methods!" Li Shimin said.

"But, they all dared to fight against the Turks back then, but I didn't dare! I was afraid of death, I'm sorry for them!" Wei Zheng continued to say in pain.

"Old Wei, they are actually afraid of death! It is precisely because they are afraid of death that they choose to fight against the Turks. And you chose to pretend to be dead, that is just to help them take revenge in the future. If you assist me, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, isn't that just to help them take revenge? Didn't Goujian fail under the Wu army back then, and finally defeat Wu again, is this considered revenge? So you don't have to be sad. You are avenging them for revenge, so you are not afraid of death!" Jing Wen continued. (To be continued)
