I have always wanted to write about Zhang Xun's heroic deeds, but I felt unacceptable to his wanton cannibalism, so I didn't start writing, if I wrote about him, how to write,

How do you describe the horror of the people in the city who could be eaten by someone taking a nap? Has Zhang Xun broken through the moral bottom line of human beings? I would like to ask the 'smiling wolf' about these questions and hope to get an answer.

Hou Junji has made great achievements, but also made a big mistake, he took the treasures of Gaochang privately, kept them for himself, and his subordinates quickly looted the treasures of Gaochang. Plunder in war is a common thing,

Because this can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but the imperial historians do not think so, they have carried out severe impeachment of Hou Junji one after another, and Hou Junji, who led his troops back, was soon imprisoned.

Zhongshu Shilang Cen Wenwen stepped forward and made a wonderful defense for Hou Junji. He cited the stories of Chen Tang and other generals of the previous dynasty, hoping that Tang Taizong would remember the merits of people and forget the mistakes of others, and cited the Huangshi Gong Art of War as an argument.

The military law says: "Make wisdom, make brave, make greedy, and make foolish, so the wise are happy to make their contributions, the brave are good at doing their will, the greedy are invited to seek their benefits, and the foolish do not care about their death", so the former Ming Jun used people, and he must use people's strengths and abandon people's shortcomings, and will not lightly wronged heroes and generals. Tang Taizong thought so, and issued an edict to release Hou Junji and no longer pursue his mistakes.

Although Hou Junji had a false alarm, he was not rewarded for his merits, which always made him unhappy and angry. Human nature is complex, and Hou Junji is not a humble gentleman with a broad mind.

He has always done what he wants, and he is not afraid of people's words. He has several wet nurses at home. It's just that I can drink fresh human milk every day, and I am extremely luxurious. That's even more so. Although Tang Taizong treated him well,

But it was far from meeting the requirements he expected. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and he wants to find the glory of the crown prince Li Chengqian.

At this time, Li Chengqian was also in a panic, he had been reprimanded by Li Shimin many times, worried that his crown prince would not be guaranteed at any time, knowing that Hou Junji was dissatisfied with the emperor.

Just pull him into the gang. Hou Junji's son-in-law, Helan Chushi, was a subordinate official of the East Palace at the time, and he matched the two to meet, and they planned coups together many times. Hou Junji once raised his hand and said to Li Chengqian, "This hand should be used by His Royal Highness."

Hou Junji's dissatisfaction with the emperor, Tang Taizong had long known about it, and he didn't care about it, what Tang Taizong didn't expect was that Hou Junji would plot a rebellion.

In the past, Zhang Liang served as the governor of Luozhou and came to say goodbye to Hou Junji, who ridiculed him and said, "I was squeezed out of the capital."

Zhang Liang replied, "It's not that you are squeezing me out behind your back", Hou Junji is grudging, "I will kill Gaochang." When you come back, you will be imprisoned by the Son of Heaven, how can you be excluded behind your back, this kind of life is really depressing.

I can't live anymore, do you dare to rebel. Let's reverse together." Zhang Liang was scared in his heart, so he turned his head and told Li Shimin what he said. Li Shimin thought that this was just Hou Junji's momentary angry words, and pressed this matter,

Just when nothing happens. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin asked Yan Liben to draw portraits of twenty-four heroes, including Hou Junji, and put them in the Lingyan Pavilion next to the Sanqing Palace, to remember the eventful years of that year.

Zhang Xun is very famous, but he doesn't seem to be a "famous general". In that war-torn era, he was no less famous than Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, but the military was far behind.

This kind of person feels bad to comment, and their efforts for their beliefs are admirable; However, depriving others of their right to live and transcending human morality is frightening.

However, if this was not the case, Suiyang was lost, a large area of Jianghuai was exposed to the iron hooves of the rebels, and the armies in other places did not have time to assemble and counterattack, and the losses were even heavier.

Li Shimin is nostalgic for the old, how can Hou Junji not be like this, "Youyang Miscellaneous" recorded Hou Junji's panicked mood after participating in the conspiracy. He dreamed that the second armor had taken him to a place

, a man wearing a tall hat shouted, "Take Hou Junji's mighty bones", and immediately several people picked up the butcher's knife, opened his head and right arm, and took out the fishtail-shaped bone fragments,

When he woke up, his head and right arm were still in pain. "It's a heart palpitation and exhaustion", and I can't even pull a bow. Rebellion is a big crime that is beheaded all over the house, and of course Hou Junji knows what is involved.

Often sleepless at night, sighing gloomily. His wife was still in the dark, and when she saw her husband so uneasy, she couldn't help but persuade her, "You are the minister of state, how can you be so worried?"

If you do something that disappoints the country, it is better to turn yourself in, and you will definitely be able to save your life", Hou Junji also had the idea of turning himself in, but he did not put it into practice after all.

The conspiracy of the crown prince Li Chengqian's rebellion finally came to light, and soon the lord and Hou Junji were brought out. In the face of human and physical evidence, Tang Taizong determined that Hou Junji was involved in Li Chengqian's conspiracy.

Tang Taizong wanted to open up to him, and the ministers all said, "Hou Junji is rebellious, and he should be dealt with with with by national law."

Tang Taizong could not veto the opinions of the ministers, and could only say goodbye to Hou Junji for the last time, at this time, the Tang Emperor tears like rain, Hou Junji also cried silently, the life and death comrades who came out of the bloody rain and bloody wind, a mistake into a thousand years of hatred, and then turned back is a hundred years.

Before Hou Junji was about to be executed, his expression was calm, and he asked the prison officer to tell Tang Taizong that he would leave a son to continue the incense of the Hou family (the rebellion was originally a full family beheading), and Tang Taizong agreed to his request, pardoned his wife and a son, and exiled them to Lingnan.

A generation of generals has fallen, ending his life of honor and disgrace, maybe he succeeded too quickly? Maybe he's too persistent? His unwillingness is moving, and Li Shimin's tears are heartbreaking.

Liu Renliang

Looking back at the Tang Dynasty, people often think of the brilliant Tang Sancai, the galloping Biansai poems, and the majestic Daming Palace, but they don't know that this is just the magnificent appearance of the Tang Dynasty.

Its interior is the strong enterprising spirit of the Tang people, which is the endless driving force of a great nation.

When he heard the news that the Japanese army had reinforced Baekje from the sea, he looked up to the sky and laughed, "It is the heavens who want to enrich me, an old man." Thousands of years later, future generations are still moved by the pride of the Tang people.

Liu Renliang (602 A.D. ~ 685 A.D.). Born in Bianzhou Weishi (Henan Weishi), he is a famous figure in Chinese history. He was a late bloomer, but he was a blockbuster, which was comparable to the eloquent King of Chuzhuang back then, because he,

It rewrote the thousand-year-old history of the Tang Dynasty and Japan. In today's Japan, drinking Tusu wine on New Year's Day and celebrating with songs on the Shangyuan Festival,

Look at the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the distance on the Chinese Valentine's Day, and climb the height to appreciate the chrysanthemums during the Double Ninth Festival. These are customs that were passed down from the Tang Dynasty and have long since declined in China, but they are still popular throughout the country in Japan.

This qiē is closely related to a naval battle thousands of years ago, that is, the Battle of Baijiangkou commanded by Liu Renliang.

Liu Renliang is a famous old birthday star in Chinese history, at the age of 84, he was young in the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and his family was poor. unable to concentrate on reading and studying,

But he never gave up on himself. I didn't have a pen and paper, so I used a branch to write on the ground and practice, and I actually read through literature and history. Known for erudition. Wu Dechu, Henan Provincial Ambassador, Guan Guogong Ren Gui is ready to discuss things,

Liu Renliang saw his manuscript on the table. A few words were revised for him, and Ren Zhuo was very surprised. Seeing that Liu Renliang was quite literate, he let him join the army in Xizhou in the way of Chimu (Chimu conferred officials as a system in the early Tang Dynasty.

According to the normal procedure, it should be the official state of the official with a red pen first, the province of the door for approval, and the emperor finally decreed). Soon, Liu Renliang was transferred to Chen Cangwei. There is a local captain named Lu Ning,

rampant lawlessness, in the fish and meat township, no one dared to care about him in the past. The Zhichong Captain belongs to the Zhuwei Zhichong Governor's Mansion, and the Zhichong Captain of the Lower Mansion is all the lower rank of the fifth grade, and the status of the little Chen Cangwei is far from it.

However, Liu Renliang was businesslike and gave the uncle a stern warning, but Lu Ning didn't pay attention to it and still went his own way. When he broke the law again,

Liu Renliang arrested him and had people beat him to death with sticks. When the news was reported to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, the Son of Heaven was furious, "A small county lieutenant dared to kill me with a cane, it was simply lawless."

Tang Taizong summoned Liu Renliang, and quickly figured out the merits of the matter.

He was immediately promoted to be the county governor of Liyang (now Lintongbei, Shaanxi). In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong planned to go to Tongzhou (now Dali, Shaanxi) to hunt.

Liu Renliang gave a note to the emperor in time, "This year, the wind and rain are smooth, the crops are growing gratifyingly, and the people work hard day and night, only one-tenth and two-tenths have been harvested, and now the emperor is going to hunt,

All kinds of receptions and the repair of bridges and roads often require 10,000 or 20,000 laborers, which is quite unfavorable to the harvest of the people.

If the people are harvested, the emperor will shoot and hunt again, both public and private, can take into account", Tang Taizong knew that his mistakes must be corrected, and postponed the hunting operation for a whole month, and he issued an order to praise Liu Renliang's admonition, "Although your official position is not high, you are dedicated to the people, and the things you have stated have won the hearts of the king."

Soon, Liu Renliang was promoted to Xin'an (now Henan) and moved to the position of the minister. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, he became a subordinate official of the province under the door.

The gains and losses of refuting the decrees are noble, and it is an official position that can often be close to the emperor. The good times did not last long, in the first year of Tang Gaozong's Xianqing (656 AD), Liu Renliang offended the popular Li Yifu of the dynasty,

It was sent to Qingzhou (now Shandong). Speaking of the ins and outs of the matter, it was because of an affair in Li Yifu.

Li Yifu took a fancy to a very beautiful woman, Chun Yu, but this woman was a bold husband-killer who was suffering from prison at the time. Li Yifu forced Dali Temple Chengbi to release Chun Yu's family, and let the female prisoner who poisoned her husband become her pillow's glue-like lover.

Someone reported the matter to the imperial court, and Tang Gaozong immediately sent someone to investigate, and the person sent happened to be Liu Renliang.

Li Yifu knew Liu Renliang's usual style of doing things, and knew that he couldn't leave anything to chance, so he quickly forced Bi Zhengyi to commit suicide in prison. Although Liu Renliang acted impartially, he suffered from the lack of relevant witnesses.

In the end, Li Yifu failed to convict, and the wolf could not be beaten, but was bitten by the wolf, and since then Li Yifu hated Liu Renliang to grit his teeth, and in the fifth year of Xianqing (660 AD), the opportunity for Li Yifu to fall into the well finally came.

At this time, on the Korean Peninsula, the three kingdoms of Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla competed for supremacy, but for a while, no one could eat anyone.

Silla was friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and Goryeo and Baekje were close to Japan. In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozong Yonghui of the Tang Dynasty (655 AD), Baekje invaded Silla with Goryeo and Yeon.

After capturing more than 30 cities in a row, Silla frequently complained to Datang. Tang Gaozong cleaned up the rebellion in the Western Regions, and turned around to clean up Baekje and Goryeo, who were disobedient. In the fifth year of Tang Gaozong's reign (660 AD),

Su Dingfang, the general of Zuo Wuwei, was appointed as the chief of the march of Shenqiu Road, and 100,000 land and water troops crossed the sea to attack Baekje.

The Tang army fought successively, really smashed the Yellow Dragon, forced the Baekje king Fuyu Yici and the princes to surrender, and in less than ten days, Baekje fell, and the Tang Dynasty set up five governors such as Xiongjin in its place

, Baekje became the state of the Tang Dynasty. Su Dingfang asked Lang to garrison Liu Renyuan in Baekje City, and he escorted the Baekje royal family back to China to offer prisoners.

In December of the fifth year of Xianqing, Li Tao was appointed as the general manager of the march of Liaodong Province, and the troops were sent to Goryeo, and Liu Renliang supervised the command of the naval army, responsible for supporting logistics.

At that time, the sea was windy and rough, and the climate was not suitable for going to sea, but Li Yifu ignored it and repeatedly urged the troops. Liu Renliang led his troops to the sea,

In the event of a hurricane, the ship capsized, and the damage was severe. The imperial court sent the superintendent of the imperial history Yuan to interrogate Liu Renliang,

Before Yuan Yishi set off, Li Yifu greeted him, "You can do things, don't worry about no officials", Yuan Yishi understood and determined to be unfavorable to Liu Renliang.

In the face of Yuan Yi's aggressiveness, Liu Renliang calmly responded, "The state has national law, and my mistakes are dealt with by national law." If I want to kill myself to take advantage of the enemy's heart, it is wishful thinking",

Under the confrontation, Yuan Yishi's conclusion naturally wanted to put Liu Renliang to death, and when he left, he personally locked Liu Renliang to prevent Liu Renliang from absconding in fear of crime, and Li Yifu fanned the flames in the court.

"If you don't cut the benevolent track, you can't thank the people", Liu Renliang's life was in danger for a while. She came forward to intercede for Liu Renliang with a straight heart, "The sea storm is out of the reach of manpower",

Tang Gaozong was not a faint monarch, and thought that Yuan Zhixin was reasonable, so he removed Liu Renliang from his official post and let Liu Renliang serve in the army as a white coat. At this time, the shape of the Korean Peninsula was changing, which provided an excellent opportunity for Liu Renliang.

In the first year of Longshuo (661 AD), Zuo Wei Zhonglang appointed Wang Wendu as the governor of Xiongjin (now Gongju, Korea).

Responsible for pacifying the people of Baekje, but Wang Wendu suddenly fell ill and died when he crossed the sea, and the main force of the Tang army had also withdrawn from Baekje at this time, and the Baekje restoration forces were eager to try.

Prepare to compete with the Tang army left behind in the lonely city. The representatives of the restoration forces were one of Buyeo Fuxin and the other of the monk Daochen, who occupied Zhou Liucheng (present-day Buan, South Korea) and fought against the Tang army. (To be continued......)
