Chapter 2 Guarding the Xuanwu Gate

Li Junxian put on his armor and went out. Li Junxian is currently the general in charge of the defense of the Xuanwu Gate at the north gate of the Tang Imperial Palace, which can be said to be a very important position. Li Junxian came to the Xuanwu Gate, looking at this majestic city gate, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

This Xuanwu Gate can be said to be a witness to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong Li Shimin staged a mutiny here, killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng and his younger brother Li Yuanji, and successfully obtained the position of crown prince. Later, Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor and created the rule of the ancient myth of Zhenguan. Later, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and Princess Taiping also launched a bloody coup d'état in Xuanwumen, killing Empress Wei, who wanted to emulate Wu Zetian as emperor, as well as Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Anle. After that, Li Longji also created the prosperous era of Kaiyuan. However, Li Longji was careless in governing the country in his later years, and the result became a troubled era. It can be said that the history of the Tang Dynasty is also Xuanwu Gate, and the defeat is also Xuanwu Gate, and Xuanwu Gate can be said to have witnessed the rise and decline of the Tang Dynasty.

"The husband only holds the Wu hook in his hand, and his spirit is higher than that of a hundred-foot building; Who has written history for 10,000 years, wants to be a marquis 3,000 miles away; The ambition of going out of the mountain is to climb to the top of the mountain, and he said that he only entered the Fengchi; If there is no horse and high car, he vows not to return to his hometown; That is, the pavilion must be said to be the year of my article to report the country; The horse is out of the group and the love stack, and the old base of Yan is more new; He made friends with well-known scholars at home and abroad, and went to visit the Taoist people in Beijing. ”

Li Junxian came to Xuanwumen and read out a poem, as if he wanted to express his pride. And this poem is a poem by Li Hongzhang, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is okay to use it to express his ambitions here.

"Hahahaha, brother Junxian, you actually came one step earlier than me! But I didn't expect that in addition to being able to go to the battlefield and bravely champion the three armies, Brother Junxian was also able to recite poems like a bachelor in the Qin Palace! It seems that my Datang is about to produce a general with all-round civil and military talents! A gruff voice came.

Li Junxian took a serious look at this rough man, who was probably in his thirties, and dared to speak to himself like this, he should be a person whose status was not far from his own. Now Li Junxian has not inherited the original memory, so he doesn't know the person in front of him, so he doesn't dare to say anything.

"What's the matter, didn't you recognize Brother Chang He when I saw you?" The man named Chang He joked.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Chang He, it's really unfortunate, you heard a crooked poem I casually published every year? If it spreads, and we martial artists are all right in reciting poems, then those civil officials must not scold us for being like Sven! Li Junxian also joked.

"Hahahaha, brother Junxian, what you said is right, those civil officials are jealous of us. To fight the world, we still need our generals, what do those civil officials know, they chirp crookedly all day long, and they annoy us to death! If it weren't for our generals, I'm afraid there would not be this Tang Dynasty of His Majesty the Emperor! Chang He said very arrogantly.

Li Junxian has insight into the domineering of military generals in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and this Chang He is currently a middle-level officer guarding the Xuanwu Gate, but he is so domineering. If it's those high-ranking generals, then I don't know how much they have to go. Li Junxian also has a certain understanding of the history of the Tang Dynasty, and knows that the military generals in the early years of the Tang Dynasty were very domineering.

"Let's go, let's go to work quickly, we want to protect His Majesty the Emperor, of course we have to be ready! However, in a few days you will have to write more verses and be angry with those civil officials. Hahahaha! Chang He pulled Li Junxian away.

Li Junxian secretly recalled the history of the Tang Dynasty and remembered who this Chang He was. Chang He, like Li Junxian, was originally Wang Shichong's general, but later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and became Li Shimin's general. Maybe it's because they were all born in Wang Shichong and then surrendered, so they are closer.

If divided according to factions, although Chang He and Li Junxian eat together under Li Shimin, they are actually neutral factions. They did not participate in Li Jiancheng's battle with Li Shimin, and guarded the Xuanwu Gate with peace of mind. However, Chang He's fate was much better than Li Junxian's, and later when the Xuanwumen Mutiny, Chang He temporarily defected and closed the Xuanwu Gate for Li Shimin, so that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's people could not rescue Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in time, and finally Li Shimin's mutiny was successful.

After the success of Li Shi's militia mutiny, he reciprocated Li with a peach and was crowned Chang He as a lieutenant general. Later, he was crowned as the founding county uncle and became a nobleman. Chang He's official positions have also been promoted all the way, becoming the state assassin history, and the general of the right military guard, becoming a third-rank official. In the nineteenth year of Jeongguan, he became the deputy chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, and attacked Goguryeo by sea. In the end, when Chang He died, he was posthumously awarded the title of General Zuo Wuwei, which was considered to be a great honor. And Li Junxian, who has almost the same journey as Chang He, was killed by some rumors, and the fate in this has to be said to be speechless.

However, now it seems that the relationship between the two is not bad, because they have the same resume, so they are colleagues in the officialdom. And the same resume deepens their mutual affection, which makes them look like they have a good personal relationship.

But Chang He is not famous in history because of these, and Chang He can leave his name in the history books, which is still an allusion. At that time, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, asked the ministers to write some papers on current affairs, but Chang He, as a military general, would not be able to do it at all. However, Chang He has a doorman named Ma Zhou, and he wrote this article for Chang He. Li Shimin praised it greatly, and Chang He was not greedy for merit, and directly recommended Ma Zhou to Li Shimin. Ma Zhou later became the Zhongshu Ling, that is, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Chang He was also recorded in the history books because of this credit.

"Brother Chang He, in the future, I will ask you for more advice. To tell you the truth, my little brother has forgotten a lot of things because of an accident recently, so please take care of it more brother, Chang He! Li Junxian said politely.

At present, this Chang He is the person who allows himself to return to his previous work state as soon as possible, so he can't be offended! And their personal relationship was good before, so Li Junxian didn't want to give up this "friend", and it was good to have more connections in the officialdom.

"What? Oh, I heard, you actually fell to the ground yesterday. But it doesn't matter, with my brother here, it doesn't matter to you! Today I will help you familiarize yourself with the defense of Xuanwu Gate, so that you can recover as soon as possible! Grandma's, the work of this Xuanwu Gate has also faded out of the bird! We hurried to work and finished our task so that we could continue to have two drinks. Chang He pulled Li Junxian and said.

Chang He pulled Li Junxian to the top of the city tower of Xuanwu Gate. And Li Junxian also started his first day in Datang.
