This person's surname is Pei Mingju, and he is a native of Wenxi, Hedong (now Wenxi County, Shanxi). This master is very famous in the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties and even in the history of China.

This Hedong Pei clan is a big family, we can't feel it now, but in the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was terrible, because at that time, people recognized this background, just like now they recognize you as a graduate of a prestigious school.

You ask me why. No reason! The child was an orphan when he was a child, and was raised by his uncle. Being a human being has advantages, and Pei Ju is no exception. This Pei Ju was quite good at reading when he was a child.

In that feudal society dominated by agriculture, and there was no opportunity to do business or work, reading was the only way for ordinary scholars to achieve their goals in life, except for the shade and military exploits. This little Pei Ju relied on his talent and intelligence to study hard, and finally got the approval of the leadership.

When Comrade Yang Jian usurped Zhou Jiansui, Comrade Xiao Pei was summoned by the emperor and embarked on the road to the sea in a special period with legendary characteristics.

I say that the special period is because in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, when there were regime changes, it was quite frequent and common. The warlords of all walks of life are "you sing and I will appear, and the city will change the king's flag", and civil servants are definitely not as expensive as they are now, and this line of work was very dangerous at that time.

Being an official has also become a risky job, and the civil service national examination is definitely not as noisy as it is now. Especially after Comrade Yang Guang became emperor, it was not uncommon for ministers to be killed.

Gao Xi, He Ruobi, and Yu Wenbi, who made great contributions to the empire, were executed one by one, just because of a few so-called complaints about "arguing about the government". The great poet Xue Daoheng was killed for a very funny reason. I guess he couldn't even think of it himself, because he was too talented. wrote a poem that even an emperor couldn't write. The emperor was devastated.

The emperor felt very shameless and depressed. In the end, I found a reason to make Mr. Xue Daoheng. Talented people are also killed? No way. I'm Wu Dalang to open a shop, and I am shorter than me when I am an errand under someone Yang. Otherwise. I'm not feeling well.

Since you make me uncomfortable, immediately flash or disappear. The hero did not let go. Yang Suna, who made great contributions to Yang Guang's ascension to the throne, was also forced to commit suicide, and the reason may not be even known to Yang Guang himself. Zhang Heng (not the brother who invented the geodynamic instrument), who sweated and bled hard for himself before and after the saddle, was also killed by his master Yang Guang, and the reason was even more outrageous.

It just depends on your unpleasant eyes and you grow a little fat. "Because of the emperor's luck, I have to pay homage to the emperor. Emperor Evil Heng did not lose weight, thinking that he was not to blame, and said Heng said: "The public is very fat, and it is appropriate to return to the county." ”

When I met Zhang Heng, I saw him with a fat head and big ears. The emperor took it for granted that Zhang Heng must be an incompetent and scoundrel corrupt official. Damn, this emperor is too unprincipled to kill people. It seems that losing weight is the first priority in this master's errand. But from my personal point of view, Yang Guang's death and national destruction have the factors that Brother Ling said that the details are not enough to pay attention to, but from the perspective of big history, I pay more attention to the dark energy behind the details......

Third, the most important thing is that I said that the culture and system of medieval China, there is no proper balance between monarchical power, prime minister power and civil power, which is also a problem in the mother's womb, this problem is not solved, only tinkered with under the institutional framework. Like the later Tang Dynasty, it was inevitable to fall in the end...... Which dynasty of the Five Dynasties, the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties was not like this?

The problems in the mother's womb, the Chinese who can never wake up! The ignorance of ordinary people after ignorance and the immorality and unscrupulousness of a small number of authorities and intellectuals lead to eternal decay and decline of the state machine! So. Medieval China has embarked on a completely different path from the West, similar to chronic suicide, with dynastic changes again and again. Again and again, it has been toppled again and again, and the blood has flowed like a river again and again. Mountains and rivers have been shattered again and again, and lives have been destroyed.

The key is that there is no mechanism to restrain the monarchy's power, and the balance between the monarch's power, the prime minister's power, and the people's power has not been found. Even now, too. The situation and curse of the country's rich and poor people and the rampant corruption have not been broken! It feels a bit funny to see some people singing praises for the so-called Tang Empire and the so-called Tian Khan.

In fact, it is always unreliable to rely on power to restrain oneself alone, and will never find the so-called equilibrium point, if there is no "player" of a completely different nature to enter the market, the result of any power flow will lead to a high degree of concentration or even dictatorship, which is a different nature of "players", known as commercial capital and science and technology.

It is a pity that the commercial capital of ancient China was too late, and science and technology also had technology and no science for a long time because there was no deductive method, even so, China has reached the pinnacle of the agricultural era, but it is precisely because others play farming that they will not play well

Although the names of the three provinces were changed or even lost after the Song Dynasty, the actual structure and operation mechanism still existed. The wonderful emperor Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang completely abolished the three provinces in the thirteenth year of Hongwu. The power of the guide is more centralized.

Medieval China has completely plunged into endless darkness! The year is 1380, and that's what the continent is doing. The Renaissance was in full swing. Technology, music, sculpture and philosophy shine on the continent! Feudalism gave way to capitalism.

The knightly class gave way to the middle class. Scholasticism gave way to humanism. The most important thing is the emancipation of people, and the desire for exploration and consciousness of people are unprecedented! It is not surprising that the great voyages that later emerged under the great emancipation of the mind. Finally, from the fifteenth century onwards, the path of modern development began.

On the other hand, in medieval China, under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of peasant sheep herding babies, China completely bid farewell to modern civilization, and the old Zhu family under the legalism of the policy of closing the country from generation to generation of emperors has infinitely amplified the feudal culture and completely entered a dead end! The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, what Kangqian prosperous tmd is all flickering and floating clouds! Now these ZF officials and the so-called public idiots are still using the poison and remnants to plague the people and the ignorant people!

Damn, this emperor is too unprincipled to kill people. It seems that losing weight is the first priority in this master's errand. There is a King Cai named Yang Zhiji in the clan, and this brother has made great contributions to the emperor and the empire. In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Yang Xuangan took advantage of the emperor's eastern expedition to Liaodong and sent him to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and raised troops in Liyang, and the troops pointed directly at Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Luoyang didn't fight down, under the planning of the hero Li Mi. This Yang eldest prince swung westward, preparing to destroy the old Yang family's military base camp and the old nest of the military nobles of Guanlong. At this critical juncture. This Comrade Cai Wang Yang Zhiji blocked Yang Xuangan's westward advance.

In Hongnong Palace (now Lingbao, Henan Province), this Zhiji comrade bit the rebels to the death, and bought three precious days for the main force of the Great Sui to suppress Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Such a great contribution to the Empire. During this old man's illness, he did not see a doctor and did not take medicine, which is estimated to be similar to suicide.

When he died, he was very fortunate and relieved to tell his son: "Dear son, I am going to die, and today I know that I have finally received a good death." "My good boy. Our current college graduates are all trying their best to take the national examination after graduation, and they are bent on entering the yamen.

At that time, it would definitely not be as popular as it is now. The powerful ministers who were later favored by Yang Guang, such as Pei Yun, Yu Shiji and Xu Shanxin, and other high-ranking and powerful people, later became Yu Wenhua and ghosts in the Jiangdu Change.

Look, if you are going to be an errand boy under this Great Sui Emperor, then I will send you a few words: "Being an official is risky." Be cautious when entering the office; The light one is demoted and goes home, and the heavy one is the head move. ”

However, in this troubled era, there were some high-ranking officials who saved their lives, and even after Li Tang was established, they were reused and became bigger officials. For example, Xiao Wangyu (sorry, there is no such word in the font, I can't type it.) Wang on the left, Yu Yu on the right), Feng Deyi, Li Gang, Chen Shuda and so on.

But some of these people were demoted and dismissed in the Sui Dynasty, and some were demoted and dismissed after Li Tang.

Yu (with king on the left). This old brother is the younger brother of Empress Xiao, who is very famous and has a strange personality, and was suspected and demoted by Yang Guang. We'll talk about that later.

This Feng Deyi was an opportunist, and he was also average in the Sui Dynasty, and he was not appreciated by Yang Guang. He has been looked down upon since Li Shimin took office. He was also robbed of his knighthood after his death. Li Gang, this old man, has always been unhappy in his career, and he was almost killed by Yang Suyu and a group of people in the Sui Dynasty. Later, he went home to farm.

After Li Tang was established, he didn't wait to see him when he came to Li Yuan. The career has been bumpy and has not been smooth. Go on. This Chen Shuda is the clan of the Chen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, because of his identity and bloodline. So to the Northern Dynasty was basically marginalized. But the Pei Ju brother I want to introduce today is an officialdom expert. Compared with the above group of people, they have all experienced many dynasties and served many kings and masters. People are really different. This is a real officialdom. I'll tell you more.

In his short life, this Pei Jushi successively held important high-level positions in the six regimes of Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, Sui, Xu (the imperial court established by Yu Wenhua and Yang Guang), Xia (established by Dou Jiande) and later Li Tang.

That's pretty good. It's not over yet. In this troubled world, it is not easy to have a good end. But this dude has one more achievement, and that is to live a long life (which is also an achievement?). ）。

Pei is the same age as the Li Gang mentioned above, both were born in 547 AD, and lived to the first year of Zhenguan of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (627 AD) in one breath, and to the last moment of his life he was still quite energetic and actively participated in court affairs, and was also highly praised by Comrade Li Shimin of Taizong, and was also called "respect" after his death. So this life, I think it's like a long-distance race.

Running in front doesn't count at the beginning, and it's a cow to laugh at the end. This Comrade Pei Ju had the last laugh, and he was a bull. So if you want to succeed, you must persevere.

What a person can do in one year, he can't do it himself, two years. What others have done in five years, their own talent is almost there, and they can catch up in ten years; What others have done in 20 years, my own father can't do it, and he will catch up in 40 years.

It doesn't matter if you can't catch up, just learn from this Li Gang and Pei Ju. Keep a happy mood, take good care of your body, and finally send away these opponents who are better than yourself one by one, and have the last laugh to become the ultimate winner.

If you're mixed in officialdom, learn from this. To mix in officialdom, you must first be really capable, which is the basic. If you're a mud that can't be glued to the wall or a bucket you can't support, that's not to say. Hurry up and stop cooking, retreat in a different direction and continue to polish yourself.

Even if you have a very hard relationship, your father is the provincial governor and your uncle is the leader of the country, and if you have a relationship to help you up, it will be a matter of time before you are taken down. So the first step is to recognize yourself, whether it is suitable to mix in the yamen, is it?

As the Great Sui Taiyuan Guard, Li Yuan was in charge of the northern frontier of the Great Sui Empire, which can be described as a high authority. However, when it comes to Li Yuan, everyone may be both familiar and unfamiliar.

As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his predecessor (Yang Guang, the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who was known for his tyranny) and his successor (Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was known as the first emperor of the ages, was known as the emperor of the ages) were all well-known to women and children all over the world, but it seems that this founder is a little unknown between these two great people.

It is recorded in the book that Li Yuan's background is not ordinary. It is true that Li Tang's royal lineage is fake, but the reason is not as simple as the nouveau riche boasting about his ancestors.

The real reason is the need of Yuwentai's "Guanzhong-based policy", so that the people who enter the customs of Shandong County Wang take Guanlong as the county hope, so as to strengthen cohesion.

The Sui Dynasty did not have more hukou than the Tang Dynasty, but the early Tang Dynasty could not be compared with the short Sui Dynasty at all, and it was not an energy level. In addition, the so-called prosperous era, I think it is also a fool.

The rule of Zhenguan, like the current situation, is completely concocted. At least I don't believe it all, a group of royal literati are playing with Li Er's money, just like now, these so-called bricks are using the benefits of ZF to fool the people, artificially creating the illusion of prosperity, to put it bluntly, it is to better exploit and squeeze the people's endorsement!

Am I being too pessimistic? Definitely! The so-called Kaiyuan prosperous era is also a fool, not to mention the rule of Zhenguan and the prosperous era of Kangqian.

However, the power of the Western Han Dynasty's Wenjing Zhitong Guò market is still a bit of a sign of prosperity. Kang Qian's Kaiyuan and Zhenguan are completely illusions, just read Comrade Cao's "Dream of Red Mansions" carefully.

A series of small people and big histories can be found all flickering! I still adhere to my previous viewpoint, that we must seriously dig into the truth behind history, and even more so, we must make a comparative analysis, both vertically and horizontally.

Jue Zhenguan is similar to our country in the fifties and sixties of the last century, so poor that he has to conquer Goryeo and fight the Korean War, Li Er is similar to Lao Mao, he is a typical democrat, and it is completely luck to win the Turks (the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan), conspiracy and surprise attacks, although poor, the public opinion propaganda work is quite in place, and the propaganda work is done well.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China in the last century, we were also like this, we were so poor, we were mentally exhausted, we fought with the US imperialists, we fought with Lao Maozi, and we did not hesitate to starve the people to death, and then we propagated wildly, and the superiority of socialism was better than heaven.

Why did Hou Junji fight Gaochang in the fourteenth year? Lu Wentai gave the answer, and it was recorded in the history books. At the end of the Kaiyuan period, it was almost the same as we are now, and now it is estimated that we will enter Tianbao. (To be continued......)
