Chapter Ninety-Seven [Stabbing Lou Zi]

Originally, the leader had ideas about your non-cooperation, which is good. When the emperor read this, he was so angry that he said to the minister Su Wei: "Xue Daoheng praised my father very much, probably sarcastically sarcastic. "Dao Heng is the first dynasty of beauty, and the righteousness of this "Fish Algae" is also." That's kind of a stretch.

This "Fish Algae" is a work in the "Book of Songs", and it is said that it satirizes Comrade Zhou Youwang, the terminator of the Western Zhou Dynasty, by remembering King Wu of Zhou. The emperor was very angry, and the consequences were naturally very severe.

It's just that Xue Daoheng doesn't have any sense of risk, so he can't see it at all. He could not see that the current emperor was arrogant, stubborn, and extremely conceited. In the eyes of Xue Daoheng, who has a tendon, the emperor is the son of heaven, and they are all saints, the emperor will definitely see the fairness and justice, and it will be OK to do the work that should be done as a courtier.

As a subordinate, you don't have a good grasp of your boss's preferences and personality traits, and you're still dangling in front of the leader's bar to eat, isn't this very fatal. Typical pondering things, not pondering people. So I analyze that there are four types of people in this officialdom.

The first is not to think about things or people, this kind of person is equivalent to being abolished, retreating from the second line or being marginalized, not occupying the pit and not; The second is to only think about things and not people, our Gao Xi and Xue Daoheng are like this; The third is not to think about things, only to think about people, this kind of people are amazing, people like Yu Wenshu and Yang Guozhong are specialized in digging pits and filling soil and then burying people. The fourth is not only to ponder things, but also to ponder people, this is the cow man, like we said above, this belongs to the leadership colleagues like.

After "Ode to Emperor Gao Zuwen", the emperor Yang Guang was already very angry, but because of Xue Daoheng's talent and prestige, he did not bear it, but demoted him to be the doctor of the fourth grade, and was ready to find an opportunity to charge him and punish him. How did Comrade Xue Daoheng react? Faced with a dangerous situation, this Comrade Xue was not in a hurry at all, he didn't care, he was really at home.

This good friend can see the way, and his colleague Si Li assassinated Shi Fang Yanqian (Fang Xuanling's father) Seeing that Xue Daoheng was in trouble, he persuaded him to "put an end to guests." Humble resignation". It means that you clamp your tail tightly and be a man, but he doesn't take it seriously at all.

The leader wants to you, that's not a sentence. Here's your chance. Once the imperial court agreed on a new law, and after discussing it for a long time, there was no result.

This Xue Daoheng went crazy. He said to his colleagues: "If Gao Gong had not died, the new law would have been formulated and promulgated long ago!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. I think that Gao Gong was the prime minister of Emperor Wen, quite capable, and was later executed for offending the emperor Yang Guang.

When he said this, Xue Daoheng really didn't have a brain. There is no warmth at all in the political struggle. It doesn't matter if you are intentional or unintentional, if you don't have a chance, you have to create a chance to take down the opponent, not to mention that you are throwing yourself into the net.

You don't target others, but there are a lot of people who stare at you and want to take you down and carry your head to the top of the list. As soon as these words came out, someone immediately sued Xue for his black state.

Imperial Historian Pei Yun immediately played: "The Tao Heng is only old, and there is no king's heart." Every time he saw the edict, he would not discuss it privately, and blame the country for causing trouble. On the charges of his crimes, it seems to be vague, and the source is his affection. Deeply rebellious. ”

The emperor recognized Pei Yun's characterization very much, he said: "When I fought Chen with this guy, this old thing bullied me when I was young, and Gao Xi, He Ruobi and others arbitrarily set me up. Later, when I took office, these old guys were uneasy, and now the world is peaceful, and there is no chance to rebel, or you should observe the truth with a deep eye on the fire. ”

This confession brought out the truest side of the emperor's heart. Narrow-minded, conceited and stubborn, and retribution. didn't wronged this Second Master Yang. Next, of course, it's simple, summoning Xue Daoheng to split his head and say: "You miss Gao Gong very much!" As soon as the words fell, this Xue Ye was taken down and imprisoned.

Xue Daoheng should be honest, right? You should be like Su Wei's classmates, immediately kowtow like pounding garlic, and then admit defeat and go home to farm, right? You underestimate this Xue Ye too much.

Xue Daoheng vowed to carry out his detour to the end. Xue Daoheng, who lives in his own world, is in prison, constantly urging the judge to do his best to conclude the trial and clear himself. In his eyes. In a few days, he will return to work and continue to serve the court and the emperor.

In order to prepare for his release from prison to celebrate, this guy eagerly instructed his family to order a table of good wine and food in a five-star hotel. I packed my luggage early and gave my unused belongings to other inmates who had not yet graduated.

Staring at the prison door with two big eyes. Waiting for the jailer to appear and inform him that he was done going home, he was ready to go home. But the impermanence of the world makes people, but fate has played a big joke on him.

It was not the fire of life that awaited him, but the gates of hell. Mr. Xue Daoheng finally paid the price with his life for his naivety and ambition. What does Shenma do?

The reply he was waiting for was not forgiveness, but death! Dumbfounded. This was something he never expected. He didn't want to die, he also wanted to serve the empire and the emperor. Over and over again, he asked why. Why did the emperor give me death? What sin am I committing?

Why do those traitors and thieves pervert the law for bribes and pervert the law at ease? Why did you end up like this with just a few words of advice? Facing the three-foot white silk in front of him. Pain, fear, and survival** completely enveloped him.

Life is rare for seventy years, and Xue, who is already seventy years old, can't figure out why the emperor still doesn't let go of the people who are half cut into the ground? He wanted to appeal, but no one dared to accept it. He wanted to write a letter asking for help, but no one handed him a fold. He wanted to say his last goodbye to his family, and when he looked around, there was not even a messenger to run errands.

There is only one thing you can do: hide from it and be afraid that you can't do it. If you don't fall into the well, you are considered morally noble. The world is cruel, and the political struggle is even more so. It's just that he understood it late enough. This seventy-year-old veteran hero and poet refused to judge himself, waiting for the emperor to make a new ruling.

"And played, the emperor ordered himself to commit suicide, and Dao Heng was unexpected, and he failed to lead the decision. The Constitutional Division played again, hanged and killed. "Be kind to him, and give him a whole corpse. He did not fight against the Yi tribe, only hanged Xue Daoheng alone, and exiled his other family members to Xinjiang and the end. killed Xue Daoheng, Yang Guang was satisfied.

But the people have rods and scales in their hearts, and the officials also have rods and scales in their hearts. It is recorded in the history books that he killed Xue Daoheng, "The world is wronged." Two years ago, Yang Guang killed Gao Xi, He Ruobi and Yu Wenbi and other veteran loyal ministers on the Northern Tour, "The world will not hurt him." ”

It is recorded in "Sui and Tang Jiahua" that this Xue Daoheng has a poem that was already very sensational at that time. The title is "The Salt of the Past".

The big guys all know that Xue Daoheng is from the Northern Dynasties, and he is very good at writing side poems. It's just that I don't know that this guy is quite good at writing graceful poems.

Xue Daoheng served as an ambassador to the Chen Dynasty during the Northern Dynasties, so he often communicated with these Southern Dynasty poets and friends through poetry. At that time, although the people of the Southern Dynasties could not fight wars, writing poems was the strength of these court literati, so these bureaucrats of the Southern Dynasties often ridiculed the poems written by the people of the Northern Dynasties for being too coarse and uneducated. But when I saw Xue Daoheng's "Salt of the Past". All dumbfounded.

Because it's so well written. This poem is too long, so I picked out two lines and shared them with the big guys. Listen up. "Hanging cobwebs in the dark, empty beams falling into the mud."

This poem brings out the loneliness, loneliness and loneliness of the resentful woman in the boudoir, through the cobwebs on the window frame and the swallow mud on the carved beams. If the annual poetry grand prix is held at that time. With this poem, Comrade Lao Xue is fully qualified to be shortlisted in the top three. This made the emperor very unhappy.

As soon as your poem is released, do I Yang Guang still dare to write a poem? It was natural for the emperor to be unhappy. Before execution. The emperor said to Xue Daoheng in a victor's tone with a little sarcasm and sarcasm: "It's more capable of doing; 'Empty beam falling swallow mud' No! "That's excessive.

Although Emperor Yang Guang killed the great writer Xue Daoheng for a poem, I don't believe it. But Yang Guang is notoriously conceited, stubborn, jealous, and narrow-minded. It is recorded in the history books: The emperor is conceited and talented, and every person who is proud of the world is said to be a courtier, "The world is said to be a joint inheritance and there are four seas, and the current alliance and the scholar are highly elected, and they should also be the son of heaven!" "What do you mean?

"Everyone in the world thinks that I took over my father's class to become the emperor. Actually, even if I compare it to a poem with you scholars, I will still be the emperor for you. "It's not self-confidence, it's megalomania. No matter how good you are, you are also a human being, not a god. If you are human, you have shortcomings.

You're going to be out on top of everything, and you're going to be crazy. This man is crazy and will not be able to find the north. I can't find the north, so the faint trick comes. Ordinary people are just fine, this emperor has made a foolish move, and the country is in danger.

If Yang Guangxing's abuse of civil power was a bundle of straw that crushed the Great Sui Empire, then the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo was the last of these thousands of straws. It's a long story. That has to start from the third year of the Great Cause (607) Yang Guangbei's tour of the Turks.

At that time, the emperor went to the Qimin station. In the Khan's tooth tent, I met the Goryeo envoy. It is clear: Goryeo is infiltrating the Turks. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the ethnic minorities in the north took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and established a horse-lamp-style regime in the Central Plains with an iron horse scimitar. The Turks took advantage of this chaos and rose.

It became the center and boss of the East Asian order. At the time of Emperor Wen Yang Jian, the national strength of the Great Sui was still weak. There is the Chen Dynasty in the south, the Turks in the north, the Khitan in the east, and Tuyuhun in the west, etc., and they can't spare their hands to solve Goryeo.

Under the division and disintegration of the two generations of kings of the Great Sui for many years. The invincible Turkic Khanate eventually collapsed. By the time of Yang Guang, the national strength of the Great Sui had increased dramatically. As far as the eye could see, Tuyuhun, Iwu, and Gochang in the west, the Turks in the north, and the Khitans, Jaya, Baekje, and Silla in the east all submitted to the empire.

The most powerful Western Turk Luo Khan also became a bodyguard at the emperor's side. The East Asian order has been revised. Da Sui became the new master. Now all nations are coming. Even Qimin, the black boss, helped Yang Guang pour wine and weed. How can Goryeo still be outside?

Infiltration with the Turks is a signal. Intolerable! Moreover, the situation on the Korean Peninsula is a bit annoying at this time. Baekje and Silla in the south all appealed to the Great Sui for titles. Instead of paying tribute, Goryeo raised its fists at the two brothers in the south and continued to invade.

For this kind of thorn, how can Da Sui stand idly by? This emperor Yang Guang warned the Goryeo envoy and asked his master Gao Yuan to bring a message: "Gou or not, the commander Qimin will go to the other land." "Hurry up and come to pay tribute and finish your work, otherwise you will be destroyed with the Khan of Qimin. Yang Guang's threat is confident, and he is not talking nonsense here. I'll tell you.

Why did the emperor give me death? What sin am I committing? Why do those traitors and thieves pervert the law for bribes and pervert the law at ease?

Why did you end up like this with just a few words of advice? Facing the three-foot white silk in front of him. Pain, fear, and survival** completely enveloped him. Life is rare for seventy years, and Xue, who is already seventy years old, can't figure out why the emperor still doesn't let go of the people who are half cut into the ground? He wanted to appeal, but no one dared to accept it.

In the first year of the Great Cause, the Khitan Kou copied Yingzhou (now Chaoyang, Liaoning), and Yang Guang ordered Wei Yunqi, a messenger, to take the Turkic soldiers to crusade. That Qimin Khan personally led 20,000 light cavalry to take the Khitan nest under the dispatch of the fierce Wei Yunqi.

In the fourth year of the Great Cause, Yiwu (now Hami, Xinjiang) was dissatisfied with the new boss of the Sui Dynasty and had some ideas. Then you have to give him some color. This Yang Guang sent Xue Shixiong, the general of the Right Yiwei, as the general of the Yumen Road march. Join Kaimin, who is the leader of the mercenaries, to destroy Igo.

said that after the convergence of the Jade Gate, they would go together to destroy Yiwu. Xi'an is far away from Hamina Mountain, Yiwu and Qimin both think that this Great Sui is just talking nonsense, it must be to scare the main, and it is estimated that it is a joke to really send troops to fight. Therefore, the lord of the Igo country is not prepared. Naturally, Qimin didn't go to the appointment.

This Xue Shixiong naturally didn't look at any hair when he arrived at Yumen. It is said that if the soldiers are outnumbered and lonely, General Xue can completely withdraw his troops and go back to finish the matter directly. But a fierce man is a fierce man.

Without the help of the Turks, I can still have fun. Xue Shixiong hit his horse and went deep into Mobei, and he was alone. A day and a night of rapid marching to the foot of the city of Iwu. The lord of Igo had no choice but to surrender the city.

From the above two examples, it can be seen that Comrade Yang Guang's threat to the Goryeo envoy was not empty and white-toothed, and that guy was very confident in what he said. Behind the confidence is to rely on the strength to support.

I think that the Great Sui at that time was similar to the United States now. That is also the defender of the international order. Rule-makers. In the war, there is a group of little brothers behind as cannon fodder.

In the war, there is a group of little brothers behind as cannon fodder. But this Goryeo is a bit special. One is that this nation is particularly tenacious, and we can see it now, this North Korea is poor, and it dares to play with its life when it starts a war.

The second is that this place is different from other places, and the geographical location is particularly precipitous. Attached to the mountains and rivers, the traffic is unchanged, not to mention the climate is particularly strange, the timing of the war is only a few months a year, basically half a year on the ice and snow.

If the army returns a little late, it won't be able to come back. Either the snow covers the mountains, or the temperature difference is extremely large, and even the frozen zone is hungry, and it is directly buried in the black soil as fertilizer. Sensei said that the logistics supply of other Guangguang laborers' expeditions is a big problem. Therefore, the expeditions of the emperors of the past dynasties to Goryeo basically ended in failure. Let's talk about the glorious experience of his father Yang Jian's expedition to Liao.

In February of the eighteenth year of Emperor Wen's reign (598 AD), the Goryeo king Gao Yuan and the Jin Ya invaded Liaoxi, triggering a major conflict between the two countries. Emperor Wen Yang Jian was furious and ordered Yang Liang, the king of Han, and Wang Shiji to be the marshals of the march, and sent 300,000 troops to attack Goryeo.

He also took Shangshu's left servant Gao Xi as the long history of the Han Dynasty, and Zhou Luohu as the head of the navy to coordinate actions. 300,000 is an astronomical amount, because the Sui Dynasty's army was 600,000 at most, and it used half of the empire's military strength to fight a small Goryeo. Obviously, I want to finish the battle.

But the problem I just talked about is still there. One is resupply. The troops were too large, and due to the inconvenience of transportation (the Liaohe River is a moat), there was a problem with the guide, and a plague occurred (guess that the supply was insufficient, and the steamed buns were moldy, and the officers and soldiers had dysentery epidemics). One is climate. The winds cooled down, and it rained heavily in the first month. Most of the ships were destroyed.

In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, heavy snow began to close the mountains in this place, and the weather was cold, and the Han people in the Central Plains couldn't stand it at all. In desperation, on the 21st, both lines were returned in vain, and the Sui army suffered heavy losses due to the ten of the dead. Vitality is badly damaged. But at this time, Gao Yuan was afraid.

After all, the Great Sui has a strong national strength, and Gao Yuan does not dare to go too far. So he sent an envoy to apologize, and the sentence "Liaodong Dung Tuchen Yuan" made the Great Sui Emperor immediately discouraged, saved some face, and hurriedly rode a donkey downhill, and ordered a pardon for the dismissal.

Then I surrendered to Gao Yuan by force from my father (although it was nominally), so how can I Yang Guang surpass my father. In the third year of the Great Cause, Yang Guangke warned the Goryeo envoy in a threatening manner.

But this Gao Yuan is really hard-boned, or they are sticks. He didn't come. I didn't take Emperor Yang Guang's words seriously at all. The emperor is waiting for the moon every day, and this performance can't wait for Gao Yuan's submission table. This is the seventh year of the great cause. Or not. The emperor did not wait.

It's still a fist that works. This is to conquer Liaodong. It doesn't matter if he goes to Liaodong. How could he have thought that this little Goryeo, which did not have a county size in his own empire, would actually sound the death knell to bury his huge empire. Became the real gravedigger of the Great Sui! (To be continued.) )
