Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 244 "Postpartum Care of Sows"

Regarding the fact that my father is not dead, whether it is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty or the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the words are surprisingly consistent.

The Song Dynasty is different. The Song Dynasty has only been to the Taiping Xingguo in Gaoliang River for four years. In theory, it should be "Brother, you are not dead."

But the car god is a softie... don't say it, you really don't say it.

Li Chun, Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty, and Li Heng, Emperor Muzong of Tang Dynasty, felt sorry for them.

He really couldn't pretend anymore. As a son of a man, Chen Hongzhi, his father's murderer and enemy, was able to safely fill a lucrative position in the Huainan Supervisory Army. Judging from this behavior alone, it no longer matters whether this father was the one he ordered to be murdered. He was already covered in yellow mud - he was either shi or shi.

Now, Li Chun suddenly stood in front of him. According to the historical trajectory, he should have suffered a stroke now, and hiccupped.

"Oh, why did you get it?" The voice of the great master of Wuguo Temple, Zhengzhu Qing, was full of regret: "I was originally thinking of giving Nihua some treatment, but now it's better. Why is the left hand six and the right hand seven?"

Seeing the foam coming out of Li Heng's mouth, Zhu Xi took out a book.

"Don't be in a hurry, let me give you some healing words." Zhu Ping stretched out his hand and quickly controlled the group of eunuchs playing ball, as well as the guards around the Zhonghe Hall. After they were all pressed against the wall, he I opened the book with leisurely time: "Please listen to the first topic now, postpartum care of sows... I picked up the wrong book."

Zhu Fang put the book back and took out another book from his arms: "Please listen to the first topic, Zhao Guangyi is ready to fight..."

"That's not right. Oh my, this knowledge is all too complicated." He shook his head regretfully, took out the elixir from his arms, and stuffed it into Li Heng's mouth.

After taking the elixir, Li Heng stopped smoking and returned to his best state immediately. With a start, he opened his blurry eyes, and what came into view was the furious face of his father Li Chun.

You said it’s better not to take this medicine.

"Oh, this has to be an elixir. My words are useless." Zhu Xiang smacked his lips, "I originally wanted to discuss the origin of life with you, so I just want to tell you how this person came to be..."

"I don't want to know how I got here, I just want to know how I didn't exist!" Li Chun reached out his hand angrily and rolled up his sleeves in a very uncivilized manner: "Come on, come on, tell me, Yuan He What happened on the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month of the fifteenth year?”

Li Heng:......

explain? What are you talking about? There is nothing to say.

Either way, he is destined to die, so it is better to shut his mouth.

Thinking of this, Li Heng closed his eyes and tilted his head. He didn't say anything and just stood there erect.

"Oh, you're still a tough guy." Li Chun reached out and patted Li Heng on the head: "I also admire your bachelor temperament. A tough guy is good. Have you seen the one at the back? Let me tell you, that one has his own way to deal with tough guys. Great idea."

The "one" who Li Chun said "had his own secret plan for dealing with tough guys" was none other than Zhu Ping, King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty.

Yes, Zhu Xi is Slak, right?

"Don't worry, Xiaochun." Zhu Xi patted Li Chun on the shoulder: "No matter how tough a guy is, he will only end up in my hands."

"Then I'm relieved." Li Chun said with a smile, but his eyes were full of coldness.

Li Heng was like Xu Shu who entered Cao's camp and was taken away without saying a word.

"It's your turn to clean up the mess. Li Heng has messed up for two years, and now the party struggle has taken shape." Li Qing reached out and put his hand on Li Chun's shoulder.

Li Chun looked at Li Qing in confusion: "Party struggle? The immortal master is saying..."

"This matter will start when you issue an edict to hold the examination in April of the third year of Yuanhe." Li Qing smacked his lips, "In this examination, many young talents with dreams walked into the examination room, including Including Niu Sengru, the county captain of Yique County, Huangfu Shi, the county captain of Luhun County, and Li Zongmin, the former scholar."

It should be noted that there is a difference between the institutional examination and the imperial examination. The so-called system examination, also known as large subjects and special subjects, is an irregular and irregular examination held to select "extraordinary talents" during the feudal society in my country.

The system of subjects is not a regular method of selecting talents, and it must wait until the emperor issues an edict before it can be carried out. The specific subjects and lifting times are not fixed and may change from time to time. There were initially no restrictions on the qualifications of candidates. Current officials and ordinary people could take the exam, and candidates were allowed to nominate themselves. Later, restrictions gradually increased. Self-recommendation was changed to the recommendation of the minister, while civilians had to be reviewed by local officials. The "Pavilion Examination" was added before the imperial examination.

The selection of scholars by subject in the examination system began approximately in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

"All three of them were Jinshi. Niu Sengru and Li Zongmin were Jinshi in the same discipline as your grandfather Dezong in the 21st year of Zhenyuan. Huangfu Shi was one year later than them, and he was Jinshi in the first year of Yuanhe when you ascended the throne. . The three Jinshi and the latter all successfully entered the official service, but Li Zongmin later resigned from his post in Huazhou to join the military and took the examination as a former Jinshi."

"That year, Niu Sengru and Huangfu were both in their thirties, and Li Zongmin was only in his twenties, which was a good age for an angry young man." Li Qing glanced at Li Shimin, who was rubbing his chin. Ru and Li Zongmin criticized the government in their examination papers. The examiner believed that the two people met the selection conditions and recommended them to Li Chun."

"This matter soon reached the ears of Prime Minister Li Jifu. Li Jifu saw Niu Sengru and Li Zongmin criticizing the government, especially when his shortcomings were bloodyly exposed in the examination paper, which was very detrimental to him. So Li Jifu went to Li Chun's house to It was said in front of me that these two people had personal relationships with the examiners. Li Chunxin thought it was true, so he demoted several examiners, and Niu Sengru and Li Zongmin were not promoted."

"But this incident caused an uproar in the government and the public. The ministers complained about Niu Sengru and others, accusing Li Jifu of being jealous of talents. Under pressure, Li Chun had no choice but to demote Li Jifu to Huainan Jiedushi in the same year and appoint another prime minister. In this way, the relationship between courtiers The Central Committee was divided into two opposing factions. However, at this time, Li Deyu and Niu Sengru had not yet entered the imperial service, so the factional struggle was not yet strong."

"This was also the beginning of the famous 'Niu-Li Party Struggle' in the Tang Dynasty. Niu Sengru and Li Zongmin passed on their hatred of Li Jifu to his son Li Deyu. And the 'Niu' in the Niu-Li Party Fight was Niu Sengru; 'Li' is Li Jifu's son, Li Deyu." Li Qing changed to a comfortable posture and continued: "In the first year of Changqing of Li Heng, Qian Hui, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the Jinshi examination, and Yang Rushi, the right supplementary que, was the examiner. Su Chao, the son-in-law of Li Zongmin, a member of Zhongshushe, Yin Shi, Yang Rushi's younger brother, and Pei Zhuan, the son of Prime Minister Pei Du, were among the candidates. Former Prime Minister Duan Wenchang reported to Mu Zong that the tribute examination of the Ministry of Rites was unfair and the admissions were all through "joints". Li Heng asked Hanlin scholars Li Deyu, Yuan Zhen, and Li Shen also said that what Duan Wenchang exposed was the truth."

Yuan Zhen was the man who wrote "Sitting Up in Shock During a Dying Sickness", and Li Shen, needless to say, was the one who wrote "Compassion for the Peasants".

Li Deyu, Yuan Zhen and Li Shen are the "three of us" of Li Dang, known as the "three heroes" of Li Dang.

"So Mu Zong sent someone to take the reexamination. As a result, only three of the fourteen people on the original list barely passed the exam. Qian Hui, Li Zongmin, and Yang Rushi were all demoted because of this. So Li, Yang and others were very resentful. From then on, "Deyu, Zongmin Each divided into cliques and fought against each other for forty years." Both sides acted out of factional selfish interests and excluded each other."

"So, is this the source of the party struggle between Niu and Li?" Li Zhi asked with concern, "The Tang Dynasty declined because of these more than forty years of party struggle, right?"

Can you not care? The current emperors are all his descendants, Li Zhi. If something big happens, he will definitely be the one who gets beaten up and he won't be able to escape.

"Is there any need to ask?" Li Shimin stretched out his hand and gave it to Li Zhi: "Idiot, I never read history books, I can't figure this out! I can read both the old and new Tang books and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" Damn it! Even if there were no bad things like Niu Sengru and Li Jifu, Niu Sengru's party was bound to happen. Niu Sengru's party represented the emerging commoner landowners who were born in Jinshi, while Li's party was entrenched in The most important thing is that the differences between the two factions are not only different political opinions, but also differences in attitudes toward cultural traditions such as etiquette and family style."

"The most important thing is that the political views of the two parties are completely different: on the one hand, what system should be used to select bureaucrats, and on the other hand, the attitude towards feudal towns."

"Brother Li, you're awesome." Li Qing smiled and gave a thumbs up.

In fact, there is another innocent victim in this party struggle, and that is Li Shangyin.

Speaking of unlucky, Li Shangyin was also really unlucky. But he deserved the misfortune, and he brought it upon himself - as the proud disciple of Ling Huchu, a member of the "Niu Party", he accidentally married the daughter of Wang Maoyuan, a member of the "Li Party". As the saying goes, if loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal. The result of this kind of playing both sides is that he was regarded as "disloyal" and "incompetent" by the Niu Party. His career was greatly affected, and he was ostracized everywhere.

The repeated encounters with obstacles and the political whirlpool in the middle and late Tang Dynasty also shaped Li Shangyin's poetic style. When it comes to borrowing from the past to satirize the present, Li Shangyin definitely understands it. The famous saying "It's a pity that you sit down at the table in the middle of the night and don't ask about the people or the ghosts and gods" is borrowing the story of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty to satirize those emperors in the middle and late Tang Dynasty who liked to take immortality medicine.

But for the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin was too insignificant. Even if he has a reputation for talent, he cannot compare with the entire court. When talking about the Niu-Li party struggle, Li Shangyin is rarely singled out for discussion. But as long as we talk about Li Shangyin, it must be inseparable from the partisanship between Niu and Li.

"As for the Niu-Li party struggle, how to deal with it and how to suppress the signs of party struggle before it ignites is your business." Li Qing crossed his arms and began to comment sharply with Li Shimin: "I believe that in the future Brother Li's methods will definitely be able to pin down Niu Sengru and Li Deyu..."

"Just make me tired!" Li Shimin held his head and said viciously.

Li Shimin also had a headache how to deal with Niu Dang and Li Dang.

After all, he is not Lao Zhu, and he has no idea of ​​letting Huang Chao de-urbanize. After all, the Tang Dynasty still belongs to him, and he doesn't dare to cause trouble.

Lao Li felt that it would be better to go through a little more trouble than to take things slowly - after all, haste makes waste.

On the day he took Li Heng away, Li Shimin urgently ordered someone to inform him that everyone must come to Tai Chi Hall to attend the court meeting immediately, no matter what they were doing.

The ministers who received the notice were confused and no one knew what happened.

After all, Li Heng, Mu Zong of the Tang Dynasty, you can say that he is diligent... he is really not diligent; you can say that he is lazy... you can say that his eyes pop out when he is playing.

In short, it is ten or even nine points contradictory.

In addition, since the Daming Palace was built, the Great Court Meetings have been held in Hanyuan Hall. The so-called "nine heavens open the palace, and all nations worship their crowns in robes and hats" is a description of the grand occasion of the great court meeting in Hanyuan Hall. But even if you listen to politics on a daily basis, it is still in the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace. Since the Longshuo reign of Emperor Gaozong, the center of political activities has shifted to the Daming Palace. Generally speaking, political affairs will not be heard in the "Xinei" Taiji Palace. The courtiers were also confused as to why the emperor suddenly asked them to go to Tai Chi Palace instead of Daming Palace.

But Li Shimin was different. He was still used to conducting various political activities in Tai Chi Palace, and it was difficult to change habits.

After everyone arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, they looked up and were shocked to find several emperors wearing imperial robes standing above.

Many veterans recognize that those emperors include Emperor Daizong Li Yu, Emperor Dezong Li Shi, Emperor Shunzong Li Song, Emperor Xianzong Li Chun...

The furthest ones only knew Emperor Daizong, such as Li Xiaosan, Li Xian, Li Zhi and Li Shimin. They didn't know who they were at all, but they could tell from their appearance, clothing and temperament that they were all from the same lineage.

Thinking about it, it would be bad if someone could really recognize who Li Shimin was.

Not to mention Li Shimin, even Li Longji was a person from a hundred years ago. Li Yu is considered the limit. After all, he died only about forty years ago, and the veterans in the court have actually seen his true appearance.

However, now, whether it is Li Yu, Li Shi, or Li Song, who has always had six left hands and seven right hands, they are all different from what they had in mind.

But the courtiers were not stupid, and they could guess Li Shimin's identity to some extent. After all, even Emperor Daizong stood aside and waited carefully, and the identity of the person sitting on the chair was readily revealed.

First of all, we exclude Emperor Gaozu. After all, Emperor Gaozu Li San Nai did not have the appearance of a dragon or a phoenix, and the appearance of the sun.

That's easy. These eight words describe our Emperor Taizong Wen!

However... these people are not very happy. After all, Li Heng does not take care of the court, which inevitably makes the officials have other ideas, such as controlling the government, excluding dissidents, and quarreling with each other...

And Emperor Taizong, who was wise and powerful, would definitely not allow them to mess around in the court.

It's just that the situation is unwelcome. If Emperor Taizong comes by himself, there is still room for maneuver - they clearly discovered that the guards of the entire Taiji Palace and Daming Palace have been replaced. It is no longer the Shence Army controlled by the eunuchs, but a group of unknown elite soldiers who can clearly see the bloodthirsty momentum of hundreds of battles!
