Chapter 38: The Fog of History

Shi Bufan looked at the map of this Taiji Palace, and then began to think about the layout of this Taiji Palace. The map of this Taiji Palace is actually also available in the Xiuwen Pavilion, and this situation made Shi Bufan begin to analyze the current situation. And the Dugu heavy snow next to it is also on the side to see, anyway, now the students are also going home for the New Year. However, Shi Bufan took the initiative to work overtime to find information here, because he almost has no close relatives in this world, and those distant relatives have nothing worth dealing with, after all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and it is more useful for him to have a good relationship with his colleagues at work. So Shi Bufan didn't have any relatives in Chang'an, and he took the initiative to ask to work overtime for the New Year instead of others, which can be regarded as a good relationship with everyone. This kind of overtime during the New Year, in later generations, leaders will take the initiative to be on duty during the New Year. So seeing that he has no close relatives, and his fiancée and lover are also in Chang'an, they all choose to take the initiative to work overtime, and there is no need to compete with this colleague for time to go home and reunite.

However, Dugu Daxue took the initiative to work overtime when she saw it, and she was not good at home alone, so she took the initiative to follow her, which can be regarded as cultivating feelings.

"What do you mean you don't let me clean up that Wang Hui? If I'm going to clean up that Wang Hui, I'm afraid it's going to be easy. Dugu Daxue said.

However, Shi Bufan said: "This Wang Hui was also entrusted by someone to beat me, especially the one who beat me specifically for you, he hopes to provoke you by beating me and make you have hatred for him." In this way, the boss behind him can profit from it! ”

"The man behind him? Prince? Dugu Daxue asked.

"No, I think it's King Qin behind him! If everything I expected is good, he is the man of the King of Qin. This time I was beaten, and I was beaten for nothing. Shi Bufan smiled bitterly.

Of course, Shi Bufan knew that this Wang Hui was Li Shimin's person, and it was originally recorded in history that this Wang Hui had gone to report to Li Shimin before the Xuanwumen Incident, saying that Li Jiancheng was going to kill Li Shimin. As for whether this thing is real, it is not clear that this Shi Bufan is not clear. Whether Li Jiancheng wanted to kill Li Shimin or not, perhaps history will never have a detailed answer. However, according to the history compiled by Li Shimin, since this Wang Hui is the role of a whistleblower, history clearly records that this Wang Hui is the person Li Shimin bought and is Li Shimin's undercover agent. That shows that even if Li Shimin deliberately launched the Xuanwumen coup d'état in history, it is enough to show that this Wang Hui played a role that cannot be ignored. Even if it may not be the role of the ventilation message in the original history, but the role is definitely not low, otherwise he will not be recorded in history.

So Shi Bufan knew very well that this Wang Hui should be Li Shimin's person, he came over to find something to do and beat himself, most of them were beaten to Dugu Daxue. He hoped to provoke Dugu Daxue, after all, no man could allow others to openly beat his wife. And for women, it may not be the case, if Shi Bufan is openly beaten, then I am afraid that Dugu Daxue will hate this Wang Hui to death, and then maybe Dugu Daxue will also take action against Wang Hui, so Dugu Daxue will inevitably have a conflict with Li Jiancheng of the East Palace.

"King Qin is coming for you, or he wants to pull you and General Ling Zun Dugu Kaiyuan into the water, so maybe we can't get rid of it." Shi Bufan said.

However, Dugu Daxue immediately asked: "Why did King Qin do this, why did he trouble me?" He tried to force me to fight with the prince, but it didn't work! I'm just a female official, and the one who doesn't speak well is the emperor's servant, and I can't say a word about this kind of thing, or even say anything about Lichu. If I dare to speak out on this matter, then I will definitely die without a place to bury. After all, I am just a domestic servant, so what qualifications do I have to take care of the affairs of my master's house? ”

"Not necessarily, the location of your Shang Palace is amazing!" Shi Bufan continued.

Shi Bufan then pointed to the distribution map of Taiji Palace, and then said: "Taiji Palace is named after the four gates of our Taiji Palace according to the method of East Qinglong, West White Tiger, South Vermilion Bird, and North Xuanwu. According to the way of sitting north and facing south, then our Suzaku Gate is also the main gate. The Xuanwu Gate is also the back door, in which the Xuanwu Gate is the back door, if you pass through the Xuanwu Gate, that is, you can directly reach the emperor's back. Palace. If according to the general rule, the courtiers formally meet the king, and go through the Suzaku Gate. But if it is a relative of the royal family, or if the emperor has something to summon, then it is Xuanwu Gate. Therefore, although the Xuanwu Gate is the road to the harem, it is not completely forbidden. ”

The palace ban system of the Tang Dynasty is not as perverted as that of later generations, and the harem of this era is not an absolute forbidden place for men, if the emperor summons ordinary courtiers can also enter, and there are no such perverted regulations. Even the people who serve in the harem are not all eunuchs or female officials, and there are also a very small number of pure masters, for example, an official position called Doctor Gongjiao, which belongs to the past served by Zhongshu Province, so it is pure masters.

However, according to this drawing, Shi Bufan quickly discovered the problem.

"Daxue, are you saying that your Shang Palace is responsible for the communication between inside and outside the palace, and is in charge of the communication of the inner palace?" Shi Bufan asked.

Dugu Daxue nodded and said: "Yes, although the Shanggong Bureau is one of the six Shangs, the Shanggong Bureau commands all the female officials in the entire harem, and their status is higher than that of other female officials. ”

Shi Bufan nodded, this Shanggong Bureau is actually a position similar to the general office of later generations, but it has significantly less power in politics.

"Are you on the day shift or the night shift?" Shi Bufan asked again.

Dugu Daxue replied: "According to the convention, generally our six monks implement a two-shift system, and all official positions are mainly even-numbered, so they take turns on duty." However, I am the younger generation of the emperor, and my father is the general of the Left Guard, so I can only use the day shift, not the night shift, so I am responsible for the day shift! ”

"Then it's no wonder! I want to ask, if something big happens in Xuanwu Gate, and someone comes to Xuanwu Gate to start the emperor urgently, is there any way for you to delay it? Shi Bufan asked.

Dugu Daxue immediately asked in shock: "What's the matter?" How can there be a big deal? This is forbidden in the Tang Palace, who dares to mess around! And if something big happens, then I don't dare to delay! What's more, how could something big happen, you must know that there are more than 20,000 people in Xuanwumen, how could they not act? ”

"Yes! Originally, the attitude of the Beimen Tun Army in history was too ambiguous! Shi Bufan thought.

Perhaps later generations only noticed the Xuanwumen Mutiny launched by Li Shimin, but few people noticed an army in Xuanwumen. This army is the Beimen Tun Army, there are about 20,000 people, this Beimen Tun Army is stationed in Xuanwumen, but it will obey the emperor's orders, and other people's orders will not be obeyed, even the prince. If you want the Beimen Tun army to be dispatched, you must have an order from the emperor.

"You told me that if there is a big event, you have to deliberately delay it, can you do it?" Shi Bufan asked.

Dugu Daxue thought about it, saw Shi Bufan's words, and then said a little conservatively: "If I want to delay, I can delay it for about half an hour, no matter how much I don't have confidence!" ”

"That's right, if Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, then someone will definitely report to Emperor Li Yuan. But at this time, if Dugu Daxue, the Shang Palace in charge of palace affairs, deliberately delayed, then Li Yuan would be deaf and blind. And according to the usual practice, the Beimen Tun army will only obey the emperor's orders, and if there is no emperor's order, then I am afraid they will not be dispatched at all. Even if the crown prince was killed in front of their eyes, they would not move. However, if Dugu Daxue borrowed the power of Shang Gong to deliberately delay the report, then Li Yuan would definitely have to make a decision half an hour late, so he would delay for an hour for no reason. An hour is not a lot, maybe many key historical nodes, an hour is enough to change the history of the world, let alone this kind of palace coup? Maybe Li Shimin also hopes to force Dugu Daxue to them through this method. When the time comes, he asked Wang Hui to beat me, Dugu Daxue's fiancé, which is tantamount to forcing Dugu Daxue and Li Jiancheng to have a bad relationship, and even a conflict. At that time, Dugu Daxue, as a court lady, naturally wanted to save her life. After all, if she, a female official, has a bad relationship with the crown prince, and once the crown prince Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, she, a female official, will be in trouble. ”

"Maybe in the original history, Li Shimin also used other means to persuade Dugu Daxue, let Dugu Daxue and Li Jiancheng make enemies, and then feared that Li Jiancheng would retaliate against her once he ascended the throne, so she had to take the initiative to support Li Shimin. Originally, I didn't become her husband in history, so I don't know what method Li Shimin used to force Dugu Daxue and Li Jiancheng to have a bad relationship. But now that I have become Dugu Daxue's fiancé, then he can offend me by letting that undercover Wang Hui in the East Palace, and then beat me to inevitably offend Dugu Daxue. Dugu Daxue will definitely have a bad relationship with the East Palace, so this is it. ”

Shi Bufan whispered: "It seems that sometimes, if you want to succeed, you don't have to have a lot of power, but you have to have your own people in key positions!" ”

"Also, I remember that Ling Zun was a general of the Left Guard. And if I'm not mistaken, the generals of the Twelve Guards of the Tang Dynasty are all fictitious, and the two generals who are really responsible are right? Shi Bufan said again.

Dugu Daxue nodded again and said: "That's right, the twelve Wei generals are all vain, and they are prepared for those respected generals, but in fact, they don't have any military power." Only when the expedition is made, will the emperor assign tiger talismans to transfer troops, and history will appoint generals to go on the expedition. And the generals of the Twelve Guards are all vain, and they are actually very few in charge. However, the generals of the Twelve Guards are different, and the Twelve Guards are responsible for commanding all the soldiers who come to Chang'an in turn, and are responsible for the palace guards. ”

"Then I think I understand something!" Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan completely understood that this Li Shimin wanted to beat himself by letting this undercover Wang Hui in the East Palace, so as to anger Dugu Daxue and further make Dugu Daxue and the East Palace hostile. Then Dugu Daxue's father, Dugu Kaiyuan, will naturally be pulled into the water.

"There are not many records about Dugu Kaiyuan in history, but it seems that the change of official positions in the Zhenguan period is probably a sentence, Zhenguan has served as the head of the palace city, the general of the inspection school Zuo Wuhou, and the military ...... of the left guard general of the inspection school, these official positions also show that his first position in the Zhenguan period is the 'palace chief', which means that Dugu Kaiyuan is the director of Li Shimin's security bureau, responsible for the commander of the inner city of the palace to coordinate the security work. This kind of emperor's guards are all the responsibility of the emperor's cronies. Dugu Kaiyuan was able to become the first director of the Security Bureau in the Li Shimin era, what role did he play in this Xuanwumen Change? I think it's a preliminary understanding now. ”

"Maybe this is also an accident in the inevitability of history, Li Shimin will inevitably win over Dugu Kaiyuan, so that once Dugu Kaiyuan supports him, he can borrow it to deliberately release water when he was one of the guard generals in the palace, and then no one can stop Li Shimin when he launches the Xuanwumen Change. can even let his daughter Dugu Daxue delay the reporting time, at least for an hour. Once an hour has passed, I'm afraid the daylily will be cold! Li Shimin will not give up wooing Dugu Kaiyuan and Dugu Daxue, the positions of their father and daughter are too important, and they are the most important key nodes in the Xuanwumen Change. ”

"And I don't want to die, at this time, Li Yuan gave me Dugu Daxue to marry. That means my wife and father-in-law have become one of the core locations of the storm, and that's really trouble! ”

Shi Bufan really felt that he was going crazy, and he actually became the accident in the inevitability of history. Li Shimin and they want to launch the Xuanwumen Change, and they will definitely not let go of this Dugu Kaiyuan and Dugu Daxue. However, how Li Shimin persuaded Dugu Kaiyuan in history is not clear. But his arrival just became an "accident" in history, so that Li Shimin beat himself by instructing the undercover Wang Xi in the East Palace, and then angered Dugu Daxue, and finally let Dugu Daxue and Dugu Kaiyuan make enemies with the East Palace, and then forced them to support Li Shimin.

"Is Chang He a subordinate of General Dugu?" Shi Bufan suddenly asked.

Dugu Daxue thought for a while and said, "Chang He is not a direct subordinate of his father, but Chang He is the general of Zuo Wu Weilang." Zuo Wei is the first guard of the Tang Dynasty, so even military attaches of the same grade must be respected by Zuo Wei every day, so my father is actually the person who is directly responsible for the guards in Miyagi. ”

"Sure enough, it seems that all the nodes are right. Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has become an accident in history, and he can't hide if he wants to! Shi Bufan couldn't help but scold in a low voice.
