Tang Dynasty woman

Chapter 16 Lessons from the Past
3. Yang Guang the second: Yu Wenhua and
Such a day lasted for more than a month. On that day, Yuwen Zhiji came to see Yu Wenhuaji in the palace, and said angrily: "Everyone is very homesick. You know this. If you hang around as much as you want, I'm afraid you will die." I'm Yang Guang's second. You know, the soldiers outside are already complaining." Empress Xiao was also on the side, saying flatteringly, "I have repeatedly advised the general to leave Jiangdu quickly."

After hearing this, Yuwen Zhiji turned to her with a disgusted face, and said with a sneer, "The queen can also advise!? It's incredible that she is so wise." After finishing speaking, he walked out.Empress Xiao was humiliated out of thin air, so embarrassing that she had to cover her face and weep, Yu Wenhuaji hurriedly chased after him to be gentle, and at the same time angrily scolded Yuwen Zhiji for being rude, and said that he would be punished.Empress Xiao had earned enough face, so she stopped crying.

But two days later, Yu Wenhuaji still listened to Yuwen Zhiji's suggestion, forced the young emperor to agree to leave Jiangdu, and ordered Zuo Wuwei General Chen Leng to be the prefect of Jiangdu to lead the funeral affairs here, while he had six concubines. With the emperor's imperial seal, he pulled out his team and headed west.The rest of the treasures of the palace people, gold, silver, satin and silk, were loaded with mules and horses.Because the ships were not enough, Yu Wenhua and his soldiers seized the ships of the people in Jiangdu and proceeded westward via the Pengcheng Waterway.Along the way, Yu Wenhuaji actually used Emperor Yangdi's jade chariot as a ceremonial guard in public, and joked with empress Xiao and other beauties without avoiding others; It will be Yang Guang's second prophecy fulfilled.

That day when he arrived at the Xianfu Palace, after Yu Wenhuaji entered the palace, he lingered on the luxury and comfort and couldn't bear to go.Hu Benlang's general Mai Mengcai, Huyalang's general Qian Jie, and Zhechonglang's general Shen Guang agreed to attack Yu Wenhuaji at night to avenge Emperor Yangdi.Unexpectedly, the defense was not secret, and the news was leaked. After Yu Wenhuaji learned about it, he secretly ordered Sima Dejian to lead troops to surround the three-man army.As a result, although the three of them resisted the enemy desperately, they were outnumbered in the end, and all died on the spot, and their troops were all scattered.Yu Wenhuaji didn't dare to stay in Xianfu Palace anymore, so he set off immediately.Unexpectedly, when we arrived in Pengcheng, the waterway was blocked and ships were not allowed to pass, so we had to abandon the boat and land.Yu Wenhuaji also ordered the soldiers to rob the people's ox carts madly, and even got [-] vehicles.

But these [-] ox carts were all used by Yu Wenhuaji to load palace people and treasures.All military equipment, battles, vehicles, armor and luggage are ordered to be carried by the soldiers with confidence.After a long journey, the soldiers walked with heavy loads, so they couldn't get tired, and they couldn't help complaining again.Even Sima Dekan and Yuan Shu regretted it very much. That day Sima Dekan said to Yuan Shu: "Hua Jifu, wantonly prostitution in the court, cruel and heartless, very heartless, I and the public help him to make things happen. To reassure the people. Unexpectedly, Yu Wenhuaji, whom we pushed up against the greatness of the world, turned out to be such a tyrannical person, even more tyrannical than Emperor Yangdi. Is this our original intention? Soon the princes Raise troops to eradicate violence, this thief will die, and we will inevitably turn around with him, if we don't plan to escape the disaster early, we will die in the future without a place to bury!"

Yuan Shu nodded and said: "Isn't it? Outsiders criticize the old man Yuwen, and we can't shirk the blame. Now it's too late to regret it, and it's not too late to find a way to save it."

Sima Dekan asked softly: "Could it be that the public intends to get rid of him?!" Yuan Shu said: "Thank you for punishing Yu Wenhuaji, and I can cover up my charges with the public." Sima Dekan said : "This matter must be careful, if it is leaked, our lives will be lost immediately. Don't forget, it is a lesson from the past!"

A day later, the brigade arrived at Tianshou Palace, and Yu Wenhuaji entered the palace to rest again. Yuan Shu planned to surround the palace with troops and murder Yu Wenhuaji.Sima Dekan naturally agreed, when he told his troops, all the troops agreed.Unexpectedly, there was a general who had been severely reprimanded by Sima Dekan and had always held a grudge. Seeing the opportunity to borrow a knife to kill someone, he reported it to Yuwen Zhiji.

Yu Wenzhi was shocked, hurriedly entered the palace to inform Yu Wenhuaji, Yu Wenhuaji was also very surprised, and at the same time very resentful: "Sima Dekan and Yuan Shu, I have always treated them kindly, but how dare they be so ungrateful! "Then the Yuwen brothers discussed that Yuwen Zhiji would lead the guards to ambush at the gate of the palace, and Yu Wenhuaji would send people to lure them into the palace, and then surrounded and wiped them out.

Sure enough, Yu Wenhua and Ming's servants summoned Sima Dekan and Yuan Shu into the palace to discuss matters. These two people were still in the dark, and they didn't know that their plot had been revealed. The two were caught off guard and were killed on the spot.Yu Wenhuaji asked the soldiers to pass the heads of the two of them to his followers, and then Yu Wenhuaji ordered Pei Qiantong and more than [-] people to be escorted to Shicao and beheaded together. The reason was that they might have participated in the conspiracy. inverse.From then on, Yu Wenhua became more and more violent.And although the disciples did not dare to act rashly any more, they were all renounced.

After Yu Wenhuaji had enjoyed himself in this magnificent palace for many days, he led his troops to Gong and Luo.Because on the way, he was repeatedly blocked by Li Mi's army and was not allowed to go west, so he had to temporarily enter Dongjun to take advantage of the plan to recuperate, and then confronted Li Mi.

4. Li Yuan has high means
At that time, the news of Yu Wenhua and the killing of the king not only caused Duke Wei and Li Mi to set up troops in the area of ​​Gongshui and Luoshui, but the other local officials were also very angry. Among them, Shen Faxing, the prefect of Wuxing, took advantage of this anger Occupied more than ten cities in Jiangbiao, claiming to crusade against Yuwenhuaji.

Li Yuan's subordinates and generals also actively persuaded Li Yuan to proclaim himself emperor in this atmosphere of momentum, for their own sake, but Li Yuan was still hesitant.Originally, after Li Yuan won Chang'an, he also had the intention of proclaiming himself emperor, but he was afraid that Li Mi would win the Eastern Capital, so he would follow suit.So he didn't dare to do that. At the same time, he appointed his eldest son Li Jian as the general of Funing, and his second son Li Shimin as his deputy.

At this time, Yu Wenhuaji was in the midst of a change, and he received an urgent report from Jiangdu that Emperor Yang had been murdered. Although Yu Wenhuaji had appointed Yang Hao, the King of Qin, as emperor, his intention to respect himself became increasingly obvious.Li Yuan immediately summoned the soldiers, weeping in public, crying and saying: "I can't save the Lord, why don't I mourn?!" The soldiers were all moved by Li Yuan's successful performance, and their morale was high.

Li Yuan was also afraid that Yu Wenhuaji would serve King Qin Yang Hao back to the Eastern Capital, which would be unfavorable to his plan to become emperor, so he wanted to use Dou Jiande, who was strong and strong, so he decided to invite him to attack Yu Wenhuaji so that Yu Wenhuaji could not return to the north.Li Yuan's plan is ingenious, if Dou Jiande can defeat Yu Wenhuaji, that would be the best; if Dou Jiande is defeated by Yu Wenhuaji instead, then Li Yuan can also have fewer powerful enemies, which is also a good thing.

5. Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor by Zen

In the world at this time, since the fall of the Sui Dynasty, there have been more and more heroes who rebelled from all directions, and some of them are powerful, and they have already proclaimed themselves emperors and kings.Among them, Dou Jiande, who had been uprising for several years, occupied many places, and had enough soldiers and food. He could be called a hegemon in Hebei. In the first year of Wufeng, the country was named Daxia, and the Cao family was established as the queen.For a time, Xia Guo's power was very strong.Dou Jiande originally wanted to attack Yuwenhuaji, but at this time Li Yuan sent Liu Wenjing to send a book, and made an appointment with Li Yang to fight against the regicide and rebellious party, so Dou Jiande's departure was even faster.

But at this time, Li Yuan called Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin brothers back to Chang'an, and discussed with them that all his subordinates wanted to elect him as emperor.When the two brothers heard this, they were happier than anyone else.Originally, when Tang Wang Li Yuan attacked and occupied Chang'an, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin urged his father to honor him and call on the world as an emperor. Respect Yang Guang as the Supreme Emperor, change the reign name to Yining, self-proclaimed Xiangguo, and employ a hundred masters.

Seeing that his father Li Yuan had moved the emperor's heart, the two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin couldn't help but immediately brought their swords into the palace and immediately forced the little puppet emperor Yang You, the acting king, to abdicate the throne.Dai Wang, who was only 14 years old, was too young and cowardly by nature, so he was intimidated by the two brothers on the spot into obedience.Immediately, a group of snobbish officials came to take the place of the king after hearing the news. What is the addition of Tang Wang Li Yuan Jiuxi today, and tomorrow Xu Tang Wang Li Yuan wearing twelve crowns, setting up the emperor's flag, sending police into the camp, and extending it to five On the Wuwu day of the lunar month, the little emperor was finally forced to proclaim the throne of Zen.Simultaneously, he also issued a Zen edict against his will, clarifying that Sui Zhi should lose the country and Li Yuanzhi should win the country. His words are sincere and touching.

After the edict of the Zen throne was issued on behalf of the king, Xiao Zao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and Tai Bao, and Pei Zhiyin, Shaoqing of Sinong and Second Lieutenant, immediately ran to Li Yuan's mansion holding the emperor's imperial seal and ribbon.Then Li Yuan's subordinates built a meditation altar in the hall of the mansion as quickly as possible.At this moment, Li Yuan, king of the Tang Dynasty, can be regarded as a man of obedience to heaven, and he has openly proclaimed himself emperor.

When Li Yuan arrived at the altar, Xiao Zao and Pei Zhiyin presented the edict of the young master's abdication. Li Yuan with a serious attitude and faithful expression repeatedly gave way, bowed three times, and gave way three times before accepting it.Then he was greeted into the palace with full imperial ceremonies, the Daxing Hall was renamed the Taiji Hall, and he was set to ascend the throne on Jiazi Day.

At this time, Li Yuannian was 52 years old, with gray beard and hair. It was estimated that the Five Lucks were Tude, and the court clothes were all yellow. He wore a yellow crown and a yellow robe. ceremony.Surrounded by the guards, Li Yuan ascended the throne, and all the ministers of His Royal Highness staggered to the hall one after another, vying to line up to congratulate him. Immediately, Dan Chi knelt down in a large area, shouting long live three times.
