Chapter 92: Liu Heimin is beheaded

Whether it is the champion, the show, the jinshi, the doctor of the Ming Jing, the arithmetic, the Ming law, there is no unhappy, the court is Tian Shelang, the twilight of the Tianzi Hall, yesterday was still a flat-headed common people, today it is like an exploiting class, this soaring taste, can only be understood, not spoken......

Open a banquet, put on a feast! Don't have any money? If you scrape together the money, you have to set up a feast!

Drink, sing, write poems, write poems to the top of the tower!

Show off, show off vigorously, wear a belt with a glow, carry a horse, and run wild on Suzaku Street!

In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery. The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. ”

Everyone is happy, the royal family, the court, the scholars, the common people......

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it was found that there were more and more unified territories, and there were too few officials who could be used, and once local officials were appointed, it was inevitable that they would rebel again. The first imperial examination was held, and its initial cause was precisely this, the turbulent social environment was not conducive to economic development, and the war was more destructive to the scholars, and the whole country needed a relatively calm environment, so the imperial examination system was found out from the ruins of the Sui Dynasty.

What happens in a country, whether it is external or internal, whether it is a war or a selection examination, is the result of a compromise between the forces of all parties. Only when it is in the interests of the majority of the people can one thing and one policy be implemented. Of course, the "majority" of the feudal era refers to the proportion of the landlord class.

It was precisely because this imperial examination was in line with the forces of all parties, and the imperial court was also in urgent need of this group of talents, so this first batch of scholars quickly accepted the appointment. Sun Fujia was received by Li Yuan, and asked about the strategy of governing the world in the court, which attracted countless people's eyes.

Sun Fujia was also not ambiguous, and gave Li Yuan three advice on the spot: first, "The Son of Heaven has a quarrel, although there is no way, he will not lose the world"; second, "a hundred operas are scattered, but they are not the right sound"; Third, "sex is similar, Xi is far away". Sun Fujia pointed out Chen's gains and losses, learned the lessons of the Sui Dynasty, blamed one by one, did not evade, generous and sincere, Li Yuan was deeply moved, and thought that Sun Fujia "was both cool and upright, and it was appropriate to deal with the constitutional department", so he appointed him as the secretary of the imperial history. The official of the Imperial History of the Governing Office is the one that Lu Jing held at the beginning. Sun Fujia's three strategies, which were later implemented by the famous minister Wei Zheng, supervised the realization of Tang Taizong.

And the talented Xu Qing has improved his status again and has become the mentor of hundreds of Jinshi, and they all have to come to thank him for advice, and Xu Qing has been busy for a while. Xu Qing sent twenty-two words alone: "The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear; Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned. These 22 words were copied by Sun Fujia 200 times, and one person would give one pair, and then say a few words of encouragement such as caring about the dawn, sacrificing one's life for the country, and being honest and honest.

Bofu, Luonan County, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, facing a group of twenty, thirty-seven or eighty-eight people, earnestly taught, earnestly taught, that group of older people, but also very sincere listening, half a word refusing to let go, that picture, really people dare not look at it directly.

After teaching this group of "big" students, Xu Qing really relaxed, don't go to work, don't pick up customers, don't go to class, and watch the snow behind closed doors. The snowflakes are one by one, and they also sing a few songs that no one can understand, making the people of the Xu family hide in the dark and laugh secretly.

One day, the snow stopped, Xu Qing went out for a walk, heard shouting on Chang'an Street, just thought he was crazy about himself, a big talent, a big star, but heard everyone shouting:

"Liu Heimin was beheaded!!"

"Prince Hebei Victory!!"

"Shandong Xu Yuanlang was destroyed!!"

Xu Qing carefully recalled the war in the early Tang Dynasty, and the prince really didn't go out to fight, and this seemed to be the only one.

In September of the fifth year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty had no time to rule Hebei, and Liu Heimin borrowed troops from the Turks to return and reoccupy Hebei, and also united with Xu Yuanlang in Shandong, claiming that 100,000 soldiers and horses were rampant in the area of Hebei in Shandong. Originally, he wanted Li Shimin to go on the expedition again, but the crown prince Zhongyun Wang Qi and the crown prince Xima Wei Zheng were worried that Li Shimin would have a higher prestige after defeating Liu Heimin, so they persuaded Li Jiancheng to ask for a personal expedition to gain fame for himself, and took the opportunity to make friends with heroes in Shandong to protect the right to inherit the throne.

In November, Gaozu Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng to fight against Liu Heimin, and the prefectures of Shaanxi, Daxingtai, Shandong, Henan, and Hebei were all under his command and had the right to do it cheaply. On November 22, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, sent troops to defeat Liu Heimin's brother Liu Shishan's army in Weizhou. Liu Heimin waved his army to the south, and all the prefectures and counties north of Xiangzhou responded to Liu Heimin, looking at the flag and surrendering, but Tian Liu'an, the governor of Weizhou, refused to defend.

Liu Heimin failed to attack Weizhou for a long time, so he took Yuancheng in the south, and then returned to attack Weizhou without success. In December, Liu Heimin's army trapped Hengzhou and killed Tang Hengzhou to assassinate Wang Gongzheng. On the 16th, Li Yi, the governor of Youzhou, recovered Lian and Dingerzhou. On the 17th, Tian Liu'an defeated Liu Heimin's army, captured his Xinzhou assassin Shi Mengzhu, and 6,000 generals surrendered to Tang. On the 18th, Tang Bingzhou assassinated Shi Chengren and broke Liu Heimin's army Fan Yuan's department. Li Jiancheng Nawei Zheng suggested that the military offensive should be accompanied by the release of prisoners and the disintegration of Liu Heimin's army. Liu Heimin's grain and grass were exhausted, and many of his subordinates fled, or tied up his generals to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that the hearts of the people were scattered, and he was afraid of internal and external attacks, Liu Heimin fled to the museum at night, but the pontoon bridge was not erected and it was difficult to cross. Subsequently, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji led a large army to chase after them, and Liu Heimin ordered his troops to line up Wang Xiaohu with his back to the water, but when he saw that the bridge had been built, he fled across the river to the west. The commander fled first, Liu Heimin's army was disheartened and was defeated, Li Jiancheng took the victory over the bridge to pursue, Liu Heimin led hundreds of horsemen to die in the north, and met Li Yi, the governor of Youzhou, Liu Heimin and Liu Shishan were beheaded. Li Jiancheng returned to Shandong and defeated Xu Yuanlang in one fell swoop.

Before the Chinese New Year, 800 miles of urgent delivery of the good news to Chang'an, the government and the opposition were shocked. Why the big surprise? Because Li Jiancheng or the entire prince group has not shown too strong military ability before, this big victory undoubtedly proves the energy of the prince group. This big victory also overshadowed Li Shimin's most dazzling aperture. What you Li Shimin has, now the prince has the same, and what the prince has, you Li Shimin can't have. That is, Li Jiancheng is the eldest son!

The Li Er group fell apart, some wall grasses began to move closer to the prince group, some families began to look around, and the pro-Li Er family began to remain neutral. This winter is for Li Shimin.

Xu Qing continued to close the door to thank customers, watering and planting vegetables, teasing Xu Qi, and playing with Xue'er. On the one hand, the dark river was divided into two parts, one part was led by Yang Cheng and transferred to Chang'an, so as to ensure that he had soldiers available in case of accidents; The other part was led by Yang Xin and went straight to Cangzhou to find out the products and customs of Cangzhou and the situation of the major mountains.

When Li Yuan gave Xu Qing the right to "enter the inner hall to discuss matters", he mentioned that Xu Qing should be appointed as the assassin of Cangzhou. Even if it is not Cangzhou, it is unchanged to send it to Hebei, and it is good to find out the general situation first. Hebei, chaos, otherwise it would not have rebelled again and again and responded to Liu Heimin.
