Chapter 120: Yan Zhenqing
[In troubled times, human life is like a mustard, and the transmission of information has become extremely difficult.
When Hebei was in turmoil by the rebels, Yan Zhenqing, who was trapped in Ping'an County, did not know the news of Changshan County.
When he rushed to Changshan County with rebels, all he saw was the body of his nephew Yan Jiming and the news that his cousin Yan Gaoqing's family had been locked up by the rebels and taken to Luoyang.
Yan Jiming is Yan Gaoqing's son, who was arrested by the rebels and wanted to blackmail Yan Gaoqing to surrender, but Yan Gaoqing did not comply, so his son was killed on the spot.
At this time, Yan Zhenqing didn't have much time to grieve, and after collecting his nephew's body, Yan Zhenqing led the rebels on the road in a hurry, he wanted to capture Wei County, block the rebels' way back to the north, gradually crush the rebels to death, and rescue the country from the rebellion.
Yan Zhenqing was in high spirits in Wei County, and at that time he thought that this rebellion would soon be over.
But soon, the news of his brother's death, the fall of Chang'an, Suzong's accession to the throne, Guo Ziyi had to go to Lingwu Miansheng to give up Hebei, and so on, and the chaos that Yan Zhenqing thought would end soon became distant again.
The only good news is probably that Yan Zhenqing investigated the matter of Wang Chengye taking Yan Gaoqing's merits, and Zhang Tongyou, a villain, was killed with a cane.
The Tang army recovered the eastern capital of Luoyang, Yan Gaoqing's eldest son Quan Ming went to Luoyang to find his father's remains, escorted Chang'an, and reburied Fengqiyuan, Yan Zhenqing returned to Chang'an to worship his brother.
This time, Yan Zhenqing also didn't have much time to grieve, Chang'an had just been recovered, he needed to do his part for this court, and looked forward to the end of the rebellion.
But it's a pity that Yan Zhenqing didn't look forward to the end of the war the following year, but waited for his own demotion.
Yan Zhenqing has a strong personality, he has been up and down for 51 years, and his official rank has changed 49 times, which can be seen as a righteous person.
The experience of 758 was like this, he was disliked by the prime minister, and was changed from the imperial historian to Feng Yi Taishou, and then transferred to the Puzhou Assassin History, and then was framed and belittled to Rao Zhou Assassin History.
In October of this year, when Yan Zhenqing passed through Luoyang, he went to worship his uncle Yan Yuansun, that is, Yan Gaoqing's father, and worshiped his uncle's family.
wrote the "Tribute to Uncle", engraved as an inscription, remembering the loyalty of his cousin's family.
Later, Yan Zhenqing wrote the "Manuscript for the Sacrifice of Nephews" for the nephew who was buried by his own hands, because the nephew is still buried in Hebei.
And the loyal Yan family seems destined to be brought to an end by Yan Zhenqing.
In the Dezong Dynasty, the well-known traitor Lu Qi did not do anything, and was reprimanded by Yan Zhenqing many times, and Lu Qi hated it.
At that time, it coincided with the Huaixi Jiedu to make Li Xilie capture Ruzhou, and Lu Qi suggested that a highly respected old minister be sent to reprimand Li Xilie to announce his will, and Lu Qi believed that this respected old minister was none other than Yan Zhenqing.
Another prime minister, Li Mian, thinks: If you lose an old man like this, it will be a loss of face for the imperial court!
But what Baiguan didn't expect was that Dezong agreed.
At that time, almost all Wenchen were persuading Yan Zhenqing not to go, but Yan Zhenqing said that the monarch's order could not be violated, and he went on the road after giving an explanation to his family.
It's just that before leaving, he looked at Lu Qi and said: When your father's head was sent to Pingyuan County, his face was covered with the blood of loyal martyrs, and I couldn't bear to wipe it with my clothes and lick it with my tongue myself, but now you don't even have the amount to accommodate people?
Lu Qi's father is Lu Yi, who sat in the imperial history platform and was martyred, and his head was cut off by the rebels and passed on to Hebei with Li Xi and Jiang Qing, and it was Yan Zhenqing who killed Duan Ziguang and buried these three loyal people.
No one could have imagined that twenty-eight years from now would be like this.
After entering Li Xilie's formation, Li Xilie imprisoned Yan Zhenqing for a year and a half, trying to make Yan Zhenqing submit, but to no avail.
In August 784, Yan Zhenqing was hanged to death at the age of seventy-six. 】
"The Yan family is one family, two or three generations, and three loyal martyrs."
Li Shimin whispered:
"This is also the backbone of Tang."
As for Dezong, he Li Shimin didn't want to see it at all.
Let's not talk about how the emperor should be, one by one, the treacherous appearance is one by one.
As soon as there is a person who does not speak well, he begins to "the emperor does not listen".
Later generations also said that it was Li Tang's family style, which was inherited from Li Shimin's family style, why not learn from himself and Wei Zheng's mirror?
Thinking in his mind, Li Shimin also glanced at Wei Zheng, and just happened to meet Wei Zheng's gaze.
After making a gesture, Wei Zheng said:
"Your Majesty, can you hear the Yan family motto?"
Li Shimin shook his head and didn't know.
"The minister speculates that this Yan Zhenqing should be the Yan family of Langya Linyi."
"His ancestors had a great Confucian face, and it is said that there was a writer's motto."
"Teaching children, governing the family, wind exercises, Muxian, learning, and saving troubles are all explained."
Godson! Li Shimin was quite interested in this, but he also remembered what Wei Zheng said:
"Yan Yan Shigu, I promoted the scholar Lang, Feng Lang evil county man, and then Ding Wei resigned, and now he should be close to the service."
Li Shimin was quite impressed, because as soon as he finished his promotion, this Yan Zhou went to work in the name of Ding Wei.
Li Shimin felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, and always felt that the other party was deliberately avoiding suspicion, but then he forgot about this stubble for the time being.
Now it seems that it is wrong, well, I will have to summon and ask in detail when I go back.
It may not be useful, but it's better than doing nothing.
"This Lu Qi is really a beast!" Du Ruyan went straight to the point.
"This Lu Qi can still be the prime minister when he acts like this?" Fang Xuanling said that he was shocked...... Oh no, after less than half a year after that Fang Xuan, he went from a leisurely waiter to the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and this Lu Qi doesn't seem to be surprising.
So in the end, I could only sigh:
"The traitor controls the government, and the loyal and good are still excluded."
"It's only been 20 years since the Anshi Rebellion, and the old disasters have been forgotten."
……
Zhang Fei couldn't figure it out:
"This Tang, Xuanzong was faint in his later years, and Suzong didn't look like a human king."
"Then Li Yu is Daizong, and he looks stupid, and this Dezong is a traitor."
"Dai Dai Dujun, how did this Tang survive?"
Fa Zheng smiled:
"Isn't it still the legacy of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Just like Yan Zhenqing, who was still bleeding for the imperial court when Dezong was in power, he was blessed by the prosperous era."
"Only then can you not be afraid of death and dare to speak out."
Zhang Fei had nothing to say, he could only sigh that the relics of the Tang Dynasty were terrifying, and he really didn't know what it was like when he was at his peak.
Liu Bei didn't want to speak anymore, he was afraid that he would laugh out loud as soon as he opened his mouth.
I was quite dissatisfied with Adou before, but now it seems to be wrong.
And at this time, Liu Bei already somewhat understood why later generations sighed that "giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou".
Not to mention the distance, the emperors of the Anshi Rebellion, any one of them will be replaced by Zhongmou's uncle, and they will not be like this.
Not to mention changing to Adou, I don't know if Li Mi, who was called the real Zhuge by the light curtain, missed our Adou when "the emperor didn't listen"?
Liu Bei, who was trying to hold back his smile and let his face look as usual, looked up and saw a pair of calligraphy that had been altered in many places.
What is it?
The back is not easy to write, and I chose several angles and was not satisfied in the end, so I will make up for it tomorrow
