Since that night, "Linglong Pavilion" has become the most popular cloth workshop in Chang'an City, Qin Xue wanted to turn the share into five or five points, but I directly refused, she was very moved, and I have earned more than 50,000 taels of silver in just three months, which is not a small amount.

It's another year, and it's coming soon. I was alone in my room reading the letters sent by Duan Zhixuan, as well as the local gifts that would come with the letters every time. Duan Zhixuan sent a message and said: They are the Qiang people in the northwest region, and Xue Ju has seized Jincheng and surrendered. But Qin Xueren fled, and now they are reorganizing the remaining rebels. Will be back soon...

I remember this famous battle in history: after Li Shimin defeated Xue Renguo, he was forced to surrender and was left in Chang'an by the Tang Dynasty. Although the side enterprise was lowered, he was not happy in his heart. In December of the first year of Wude, he gathered thousands of people to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, fled into Nanshan, and went straight to Hanchuan. plunder, burn, and kill wherever they passed, and do all kinds of evil. The Tang Dynasty sent the Wuhou general Pang Yu to encircle and suppress the troops, but was defeated. Traveling to Shizhou, which was later the area of Sichuan Jiange, he robbed the local people and the queen's entourage. One day, the two were drunk and lying in the suburbs. Unwilling to be plundered, Wang pulled out the saber on Bian Qidi, killed Bian Qidi, and collected his head and sent it to Liangzhou. After the Pang Qidi was killed by the Wang clan, his troops also scattered. In order to commend the Wang family, the Tang Dynasty gave the special title of "Mrs. Chongyi".

At the same time, when Li Mi, Wang Bodang, Jia Runfu and others went out of Chang'an to Shandong to appease the old department, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan ordered Li Mi to leave the old department in Huazhou and only take half of the soldiers and horses out of the customs. On the way east, Changshi Zhang Baode learned of Li Mi and others' conspiracy, and was afraid of Zhu Lian himself, so he reported Li's conspiracy to the Tang court. Tang Gaozu Li Yuan received Zhang Baode's recital, only to know the seriousness of the matter, but he was afraid of alarming Li Mi, so he sent an edict ordering Li Mi to ride into the court alone, and gave another task, and his subordinates also postponed their eastward journey. Li Mi received the edict in Chousang, knowing that things were not good, so he and Wang Bodang and others killed the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. and sent someone to contact the old general Zhang Shan, so that he could quickly raise troops to respond. When the Tang Dynasty general Shi Wanbao guarded Xiongzhou, his marching commander Sheng Yanshi saw through Li Mi's intentions and set up an ambush in the south of Xiong'er Mountain to attack Li Mi. Li Mi and the others were caught off guard, hurriedly responded to the battle, but were helpless in a desperate situation, and the team could not correspond, so they were annihilated by the Tang army, Li Mi was killed, and the Xiao general Wang Bodang also fought to death. Sheng Yanshi was awarded the title of Duke Ge Guo for his merits.

Li Mi was against the Tang Dynasty and was attacked and killed by the Tang general Sheng Yanshi, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan made a special trip to bring Li Mi's head from Chang'an to Liyang to Xu Shiyun in order to warn the old Wagang generals, and told him how Li conspired to rebel. Xu Shiyun was very sad when he saw Li Mi's head, and he cried and wrote a performance to ask Li Mi to be buried. Li Yuan agreed to his request and ordered Li Mi's body to be recovered and handed over to Xu Shiyun for burial. Xu Shichang made a shroud for Li Mi in Liyang, prepared utensils, and performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. The officers and men of the Wagang Army wore vegetarian clothes, marched in procession, and buried Li Mi in the south of Liyang Mountain. The mourners were deeply saddened by the loss of their former leader, and many of the mourners wept and vomited blood.

At the end of the first year of Wude, Gao Kaidao besieged Beiping County. At that time, Li Jing, the general of the Sui Right Military Guard, led his troops to defend Beiping, and held on to Gao Kaidao for a year, and the two sides were evenly matched, and Gao Kaidao could not capture Beiping. Liaoxi Taishou Deng Wei led the army to aid Beiping County, and Li Jing temporarily moved his troops from Beiping to Liucheng in order to avoid the edge of Gao Kaidao. When the situation improved, Li Jing led his troops back to Youzhou, but was intercepted and killed by robbers on the way. The dragons were leaderless, and Gao Kaidao finally captured Beiping County and took advantage of the victory to occupy Yuyang County. Gao Kaidao defeated pride, proclaimed himself King Yan, changed the Yuan to Shixing, and built the capital in Yuyang. Its troops have thousands of good horses and more than 10,000 soldiers, and their influence is in the northeast of present-day Hebei Province.

At the same time, there are also events in this year, Huairong monk Gao Tansheng took advantage of the government's order to set up fasting to do rituals, and the people came to worship the Buddha, and the opportunity of the large gathering of people gathered more than 5,000 monks to kill the county commander and the military general of the town guard. Gao Tansheng proclaimed himself the Mahayana Emperor, and established the nun Jingxuan as the Empress of the Evil Wheel, Jianyuan**. After Gao Tansheng's uprising was successful, he sent envoys to recruit Gao Kaidao of Yuyang County and named him the king of Qi. Gao Kaidao agreed to surrender, and soon led 5,000 men and horses to surrender to Tan Sheng.

At the end of the first year of Wude, Gao Kaidao, who had just surrendered to Gao Tansheng for a few months, openly rebelled, attacked and killed the "Mahayana Emperor", and joined his men.

These are all mentioned in Duan Zhixuan's letters to me, as well as some events that I have learned about in Chang'an now.

There is also the Li Su incident, Li Su was appointed to supervise the imperial history. Once, someone violated the criminal law and should not be executed according to the law, but Gaozu ordered the law enforcement department to make it a capital crime. Li Suli disagreed with Tang Gaozu's practice and admonished: The law is the norm that the emperor and his subjects of the world abide by. If the law is broken, the fundamental law of the country will be shaken, and people will lose their basis and become helpless. Your Majesty has just created a great cause, how can you give up the great law of the country? Serving as a minister of law, I dare not follow your wrong decisions. Li Yuan listened to Li Suli's advice. As a result, Li Suli was trusted by Tang Gaozu and was promoted to the rank of Imperial Servant.

At the same time, there is also a famous historical incident in which Li Zhongyan and An Xiuren falsely killed Liang Shuo.

Liang Shuo was an important advisor to Li Rail, witty and strategic, and served as Li Rail's official secretary. Liang Shuo saw that the power of the Hu clan was growing, and secretly advised Li Liang to be vigilant and take precautions. Therefore, he had a grudge with An Xiuren, a Hubu Shangshu who was born in the Hu clan. Li Liang's son Li Zhongyan visited Liang Shuo in the past, but he was not treated politely by Liang Shuo, and he was also estranged from Liang Shuo. At this time, An Xiuren took the opportunity to collude with Li Zhongyan and slandered Liang Shuo for plotting to rebel. Li Liang listened to their slander, and at the end of the first year of Wude, he killed Liang Shuo with medicinal wine. Li Liang was superstitious about witchcraft, and requisitioned the people to build buildings to welcome the so-called "jade girl" sent by God, which cost countless money. There was a famine in the right part of the river, and there was even cannibalism. Li Liang has been helping the poor since he became a monk, but he still can't satisfy the hungry, so he wants to open a warehouse to distribute food. At the meeting, the ministers were very divided on whether to open a warehouse to help the people. The ministers headed by Cao Zhen believed that the country was people-oriented, and should open warehouses to distribute grain and relieve the hungry; The old officials of the Sui Dynasty, represented by Xie Tongshi, were dissatisfied, and secretly formed a sworn alliance with the Hu clan and excluded Li Liang's cronies. At this time, Master Xie accused Cao Zhen and others of desperately opposing the distribution of grain to the people. Li Liang actually adopted the advice of Master Xie and no longer gave relief to the poor. As a result, the people were separated from Li Liang, and there were complaints from top to bottom.

This year, when the Tang Dynasty was first built, and all parts of the country except Chang'an were still in turmoil, I put away Duan Zhixuan's letter and turned my head to look at the snowflakes floating outside the window.

"I'm really lucky to have crossed over to such a young lady, although she is in troubled times, she can live safely at the feet of the Son of Heaven and avoid the pain of war."

Xiaomei and Xiaofu were packing up their things on the side, and we were going to go to Duan Jingya's place to spend the first day. I took a deep breath and said, "You must come back safe and sound." ”
