The 2,000 elite soldiers under Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji found out that it was too late, they attacked Xuanwumen with great momentum and killed the general of the cantonment.

Cut off the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and loudly signaled to the two sides that were fighting, and the people and horses of the East Palace and the Qi Palace's Mansion saw that the lord was dead, and they immediately lost their fighting spirit and dispersed as birds and beasts.

Li Shimin immediately sent Wei Chi Jingde into the palace to force Tang Gaozu Li Yuan into the palace, and when Wei Chi Jingde, who was in bright armor and holding a weapon, came to Li Yuan, Li Yuan immediately understood what was going on.

He issued an edict to let the armies obey Li Shimin's moderation, and issued an edict to kill all the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, so that Li Shimin was free from worries, and soon, Li Yuan passed the throne to Li Shimin, and the Tang Dynasty entered the rule of Zhenguan.

After the Xuanwumen mutiny, the defeated party could not escape the autumn queen to settle accounts, and all over the country arrested Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's henchmen and sent them to the capital, and many people advocated that more than 100 of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's henchmen be executed, and they had no family property.

said fair things for them, "Now that the overall situation has been decided, the two murderers will be punished, and if the remaining party of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji is liquidated, it will not be conducive to the stability and unity of the imperial court, and these people should be lenient."

Li Shimin thought so, and not only pardoned the princelings, but Wei Zheng and other loyal and upright people were also promoted and reused. The power was smoothly handed over, but the Turks were overwhelmed by a large army, and 100,000 horsemen were directed at Chang'an, and the young Tang Taizong once again faced a severe test.

The Turkic cavalry drove all the way and quickly approached Chang'an, but Chang'an's strength was far from enough. Li Shimin showed his heroic qualities and sent Wei Chi Jingde to meet the vanguard of the Turks. The elite soldiers of the Xiao army encountered the Turkic troops in Jingyang, north of Chang'an. The Don army struck with thunder and repelled the enemy in one fell swoop. Wei Chi Jingde charged forward and personally killed a famous Turkic general, and the Tang army beheaded more than 1,000 ranks, which severely damaged the military morale and morale of the Turks.

Jieli Khan originally wanted to take advantage of the unstable situation in the Tang Dynasty to reap the benefits of the fishermen, but after receiving a slap on the head, he couldn't help but be shocked, the Tang army was so brave and resolute, much to Jieli Khan's expectations, he had to reassess whether his actions were correct.

At this time, Jieli Khan was only forty miles away from Chang'an. He was watching the shape on the north bank of the Weishui Bridge, and suddenly, he saw a group of six horsemen coming to the south bank of the Weishui Bridge, and the first person was Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin shouted across the surging water and asked Jieli Khan,

Jieli Khan's generation of heroes couldn't refute it, and he led the Turkic army in front of Li Shimin. But he can't be a little more bold for himself. At this time, Jieli Khan thought that the Tang army had already taken precautions,

I had no chance to take advantage of it, so I took the initiative to ask Li Shimin for peace, and Li Shimin became a big treasure for the first time. They didn't want to start a war, so the two sides swore an oath to kill horses on the bridge, and the Turkic 100,000 cavalry withdrew and returned to the division.

The first year of Zhenguan. Wei Chi Jingde worshiped the right military general, and gave the title of Wu Guogong. and the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui and 1,300 households. folklore,

Wei Chi Jingde was born as a blacksmith. This is a big fallacy, Yu Chi Jingde's great-grandfather was a heroic general, his father Yu Chi Luojia was a general of the West Town of Sui Dynasty, and Yu Chi Jingde was an out-and-out official eunuch.

And he looks handsome, otherwise Tang Taizong would not have thought of marrying his baby daughter to him later, this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing can't be asked for by others, but he rejected the emperor's request,

"Although my wife is ugly, she has been with me for a long time, and although I do not learn and do not know how to do it, I also know that the wife of the chaff will not go to court, and it is not a matter of my willingness to marry the princess and go home", the prince and the general,

Since ancient times, three wives and four concubines have been regarded as normal by the world, but Wei Chi Jingde has always been consistent with his wife, which makes people sigh that a good husband who is rare in the ages is like this.

However, no one is perfect, Wei Chi Jingde has a straightforward and rude personality, quite pampered and arrogant, especially not taking Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in the eyes of these literati, the civil servants were angry, and the consequences were very strict, and Wei Chi Jingde was squeezed out of the field as a magistrate. One day in the eighth year of Zhenguan,

Yu Chi Jingde served at the Qingshan Palace, and found that there was a nasty person sitting on his upper seat, Yu Chi Jingde was suddenly full of anger and scolded, "What credit do you have, you dare to sit on top of me",

Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, came forward to persuade and soothe with good words, but was slapped by Yu Chi Jingde, almost blinded his eyes, Tang Taizong was very angry, announced the boycott of the banquet, called Yu Chi Jingde to the front, and sternly warned, "I used to think that Liu Bang had done too much to the heroes, and after I became the emperor, I hoped that the monarchs and ministers could get along in harmony."

But seeing you so lawless, I knew that Liu Bang killed Han Xin back then, and it was really a last resort. I can forgive you this time, you must restrain yourself in the future, and don't regret it in the future."

Wei Chi Jingde realized that he had indeed gone too far, and sincerely apologized to Tang Taizong, and from then on, he behaved modestly, as if he had changed a person.

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Wei Chi Jingde was awarded the title of Xuanzhou Thorn History and the Duke of Eguo, in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Wei Chi Jingde asked for retirement on the table, and was awarded the opening of the Fu Yi with the three divisions, and soon,

Together with the eldest grandson Wuji and other twenty-four people, he was drawn in the Lingyan Pavilion. Tang Taizong went east to Goryeo, and Wei Chi Jingde was appointed as the commander of the Left First Horse Army, and followed Tang Taizong to defeat the Goryeo army in the garrison mountain, and achieved brilliant results.

After returning to the army, he retired honorably, and in his later years, Wei Chi Jingde indulged in Taoism, alchemy, medicine, mica powder, and lived like a worldly immortal. He built pavilions and pavilions in his house, and wore brocade and embroidered robes.

Playing Qing Shangle to entertain himself, he has lived a life of immortals for sixteen years. In the third year of Xianqing, Tang Gaozong posthumously presented Wei Chi Jingde's father as the governor of Youzhou, and in the same year, Wei Chi Jingde died at the age of seventy-four.

Tang Gaozong abolished the dynasty for three days, so that the Beijing officials above the fifth grade should go to the house of Wei Chi Jingde to cry and mourn, and the imperial court book gave Wei Chi Jingde as the governor of Situ and the state, and the name Zhongwu, and gave the secret weapon of the East Garden,

Buried in Zhaoling. Wei Chi Jingde's son Wei Chi Baolin, the official to Wei Weiqing. It is worth mentioning that Wei Chi Jingde's nephew Wei Chi Daohong (Voyeur Ji), he is one of the founders of the Chinese Faxiangzong,

He is the personal disciple of Master Xuanzang, and during the Zhenguan period, Master Xuanzang fell in love with this young man with beautiful eyebrows at a glance on the road. sighed, "The seed of the family." It's not wrong, it's not wrong, it's off or the cause is interlocked. If you are a disciple, then your law has a sustenance", and later assisted Xuanzang in translating a large number of Buddhist works.

Peek Ji's masterpiece has also spread to Japan, and has been regarded as a classic masterpiece by the Japanese Hosho Sect, and has been passed down to this day.

"Bend my weak bow, make me eight lances, overthrow the three armies in one fell swoop, and then lift the slaughter."

Throughout Wei Chi Jingde's life, loyal to the monarch, loyal to his wife, loyal to his friends, Li Shimin can make such a courtier, he should have no regrets in this life, and Wei Chi Jingde is happy to meet the lord and enjoy a prosperous world, and he should have no regrets in this life.

100-year-old birthday star Cheng Zhijie

Mention Cheng Zhijie (Cheng Biting Gold). A smile will appear on the lips of the Chinese, and they will think of the "three-plate axe" and the mantra of robbers, "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree." If you want to fight this, leave the money to buy the road",

Cheng Zhijie in the opera is a bitter and bitter proletariat. The real Cheng Zhijie in history was born in a big family, although neither of the two Tang Dynasty books clearly recorded Cheng Zhijie's family background. His epitaph, however, left valuable information for posterity.

Cheng Zhijie's great-grandfather was named Cheng Xing, who served as Sima of Yanzhou in Northern Qi. Cheng Zhijie's grandfather's name is Cheng Zhe, who served as Sima of Jinzhou in Northern Qi Dynasty, and Cheng Zhijie's father's name is Cheng Lou, who served as Dazhongzheng in Jeju in Northern Qi Dynasty.

"Wei's nine products, placed in the center, respected the world, humble and cold, and the right is the right surname. The state of the big zhongzheng, the main book, the county zhongzheng, the gong cao, all take the surname of the scholar clan for it, in order to set the door, the character of the algae",

Since Cheng Zhijie's father can become the Great Zhongzheng of Jeju in Northern Qi, the Cheng family can certainly be regarded as a family of scholars, and Cheng Zhijie can also be regarded as a child of a family. Cheng Zhijie later married his wife Qinghe Cui, Qinghe Cui's is a top family, and even the emperor is red Qinghe Cui's prestige.

This also proves from the side that Cheng Zhijie at least has a family background that matches his wife, and he is by no means reckless as described in the opera, as for Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, Cheng Zhijie's martial arts are strong, and he can take the head of a general among thousands of troops, and he is by no means the clown who can only have three axes depicted in the opera.

The weapon that Cheng Zhijie is good at is the horse lance, that is, a spear with a length of more than eight feet, and the axe is a weapon that the storyteller matched Cheng Zhijie.

Cheng Zhijie (589 A.D. ~ 665 A.D.) was a native of Jeju Dong'a (now Dong'a, Shandong), and his original name was Cheng Yanjin, and later changed his name to Cheng Zhijie.

The word Yizhen, a life of seventy-seven years old, is also considered a long life. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court levied violently, and used troops with foreign countries for many years, the people's livelihood was difficult, the people rose up, and the peasant uprising team was as many as more than 100.

Cheng Zhijie stepped onto the stage of history at this time, and he organized hundreds of "militia groups" to fight against the gangsters and keep one side safe.

There are more and more rogues, and Cheng Zhijie is gradually tired of coping. In troubled times, if you can't live in seclusion, the only choice is probably to choose a promising master.

With him to make contributions, at that time, Li Mi, the leader of the Wagang Righteous Army, fell into Cheng Zhijie's sight, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, which attached importance to the gate valve system, Li Mi's background and personal charm can be said to be rare.

His great-grandfather Li Bi was one of the Eight Great Pillar Kingdoms, who served as a Taishi and the Duke of Wei in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his grandfather Li Zuyao was the Duke of Xingguo in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father Li Kuan was the Shangzhu State and Pushan Duke of the Sui Dynasty.

What is even more rare is that Li Mi himself "raises guests and is virtuous, and has nothing to love", which is quite the style of Meng Weijun back then, and Cheng Zhijie led the crowd to Li Mi, which can be said to be a deliberate consequence.

Cheng Zhijie is brave and good at fighting, and Li Mi naturally favors him. Li Mi organized an internal army of 8,000 people, all of whom were brave and strong men, and the inner army set up four hussar generals, and Cheng Zhijie was one of them. The internal army is Li Mi's personal guard and is responsible for protecting Li Mi's safety.

Li Mi was very confident in the combat effectiveness of this army, and once boasted that Haikou, "My 8,000 men are worth a million heroes." In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (617 AD), the internal struggle of the Wagang army tended to be white-hot.

The fire finally inevitably happened, Li Mi relied on the strength in his own hands, and killed Zhai Rang, who founded the Wagang Army, under the knife, and sat firmly in the position of the leader of the Wagang Army.

In September of the first year of Tang Gaozu Wude (618 AD), Wang Shichong took advantage of the defeat of the Wagang army and Yu Wenhua's army, and led 20,000 elite infantry cavalry to build three bridges on the Tongji Canal (now in Mengxian County, Henan) to prepare for a decisive battle with the Wagang army.

Judging the situation, often determines the fate of each of the heroes, Li Mi's subordinate Pei Renji proposed to encircle Wei to save Zhao, advocating the army to enter Luoyang, but Li Mi did not adopt, he dispatched troops, set up a large array at the foot of the mountain, and Wang Shichong had a hard encounter.

Wang Shichong's army first attacked Shan Xiongxin in the north of Yanshi City (present-day Yanshidong, Henan), and Li Mi sent Cheng Zhijie and Pei Xingyan to support. Pei Xingyan is the prototype of Pei Yuanqing, a good man in the Sui and Tang dynasties, he is the son of the Sui general Pei Renji, known as the enemy of ten thousand people, and has always been the champion of the three armies.

This time, he was unlucky, he was quickly shot by a stray arrow and fell off his horse, and Cheng Zhijie hurried to the rescue.

assassinated several enemy soldiers who rushed up before carrying Pei Xingyan to his horse. He took Pei Xingyan and retreated backwards,

Wang Shichong's cavalry was in hot pursuit, and the war horse carried Cheng Zhijie and Pei Xingyan, who could not run very fast, and were finally caught up by Wang Shichong's cavalry halfway. All the horses and horses are down,

Cheng Zhijie fought back, and with a slight negligence, a horse lance actually pierced Cheng Zhijie's body, Cheng Zhijie shouted, broke the horse lance alive, and cut off the soldier's head with a knife.

Wang Shichong's chasing cavalry was terrified, and watched Cheng Zhijie leave with Pei Xingyan proudly, although both of them were seriously injured, they finally returned to the camp of the Wagang Army safely.

Although at the moment of life and death, Cheng Zhijie showed his infinite love for his comrades-in-arms, but he had no chance to be praised by Li Mi, and the Wagang army was defeated by the powerful offensive of Wang Shichong's army.

The defeat was like a mountain, more than a dozen generals became seriously wounded, Li Mi saw that the general trend was gone, left everyone, and went to the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and Pei Renji father and son all fell into the hands of Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong was originally a Hu native of the Western Regions, when he was young, his mother remarried a Han man surnamed Wang, he followed his stepfather's surname Wang, because of the favorable opportunity, step by step to achieve a high position, in troubled times, he has his own advantages,

He married his niece to Pei Xingyan, and tried his best to win over Pei Renji's father and son, and Cheng Zhijie, who was a general of the Wagang Army, was also reused by Wang Shichong. Pei Renji's father and son have no good impression of Wang Shichong, a Hu man.

They plotted to assassinate Wang Shichong, but Wang Shichong noticed it and took the lead to wipe out Pei Renji and the three clans. Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao also despise Wang Shichong's personality, they are secretly looking for opportunities,

Prepare to cast another Lord. Cheng Zhijie once talked to Qin Shubao about his impression of Wang Shichong, and Qin Shubao thought it was true, "Wang Shichong has no measure for people, and loves to curse and swear, living like a witch and a god, he is treacherous and cunning, he can never be the master of the world, and we have no way out with him."
