Early Tang Dynasty Concubine

Chapter 324 This matter...

Speaking of Zhang Liang, his whole life was really ruined by this Li Shi.Originally a good talent, but finally died at the hands of a woman, either directly or indirectly, in short, it can be said that he has no good wife!

It is written in the history books: Zhang Liang was born in a poor and humble family, and he worked as a farmer when he was young.At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi led the Wagang Army to fight in Xingyang and Kaifeng. Zhang Liang went to defect, but was not reused.

Later, someone in the Wagang Army conspired to rebel, and Zhang Liang informed Li Mi.Li Mi believed that Zhang Liang was a loyal person, so he appointed him as a general of hussars, under the command of Xu Shiji in Liyang (now Jun County, Henan).

In the 18th year (the first year of Wude), Zhang Liang surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with Xu Shiji and was appointed as the governor of Zhengzhou.At that time, Zhengzhou was captured by Wang Shichong, and Zhang Liang was unable to take up his post, so he fled to Gongcheng Mountain. Soon, Zhang Liang was changed to inspector Dingzhou Biejia. In 621 (the fourth year of Wude), Liu Heita rebelled, Xu Shiji was ordered to crusade, and Zhang Liang was ordered to guard Xiangzhou (now Anyang, Henan).Seeing that the enemy army was strong, Zhang Liang abandoned the city and fled.

Later, Zhang Liang was recommended by Fang Xuanling, and was called into Tiance Mansion by Qin Wang Li Shimin as a chariot general.Zhang Liang gradually gained the appreciation of Li Shimin and was regarded as a confidant.

In 626 (the ninth year of Wude), the conflict between Li Shimin and Prince Li Jiancheng intensified.Zhang Liang was ordered to go to Luoyang and secretly contact the heroes of Shandong in case the situation changed.When Qi Wang Li Yuanji learned about it, he went to Tang Gaozu to report Zhang Liang's conspiracy.Tang Gaozu ordered Yousi to torture Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang kept the secret, and was finally released and sent back to Luoyang.Soon, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Change, punished Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and ascended to the throne of God as Tang Taizong.Because of his meritorious service, Zhang Liang was granted the titles of General Right Guard, Governor of Huaizhou, and Duke of Changping County.

I have to say that this General Zhang is also a loyal talent here, and his loyalty to Li Shimin is even more rewarding!Therefore, Li Shimin has never treated him badly. Even if this general Zhang Liang is more or less wrong in the future, Li Shimin can forgive him.Generals are rare, but loyal people are even rarer, but why would such a loyal person embark on the road of rebellion?

There are also interpretations in history: Zhang Liang had a first wife, who was his first wife when he was farming. She is just an uneducated rural woman, and Zhang Liang's achievements are getting higher and higher. Such a wife is no longer worthy of him. , so he did a very wicked thing which was to divorce his wife.

Of course, there are also some unknown things. He married the daughter of the Li clan, and it is impossible for the Li clan to let his clan daughter be someone else's concubine. Many times he has to do something for the sake of his future. Zhang Liang I also thought, that's why he divorced his first wife. Of course, after he divorced, he didn't ignore his first wife, but just gave up his regular wife.

Zhang Jie is the child of this wife.After Li Shi got married, she was doing well at the beginning. The two of them can be said to be very affectionate, and concubine love is also a common occurrence, but soon, Li Shi revealed her own characteristics, sensuality and arrogance!Zhang Liang loves and fears her.Later, Li had an affair with someone, but Zhang Liang adopted him as his adopted son and named him Zhang Shenji.In addition, Li Shi also likes witches and heretics, making friends with wizards, and interfering in political affairs, gradually ruining Zhang Liang's reputation.

For this, Cheng Churui can only say that people can really give up anything for some things.Later, when Zhang Liang was in Xiangzhou, his false son, Gongsun Jie, said a prophecy to him: "The master of the bow should be the other capital." Zhang Liang believed that Xiangzhou was the old capital of the Northern Dynasties (Yecheng, the prefecture of Xiangzhou, was the capital of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi during the Southern and Northern Dynasties) , the archer is Zhang, which is his surname, so he feels disobedient in his heart.Later, Zhang Liang privately said to Cheng Gongying, a trusted sorcerer: "You used to say that your majesty is the real lord of the world, how can you be so magical?" .Zhang Liang said to Gongsun Jie's elder brother, Gongsun Chang, "I have a concubine, and the fortune teller said that she will definitely become Wang Ji." Gongsun Chang said that Zhang Liang's name was in the prophecy, and Zhang Liang was overjoyed.

In 646 (the 20th year of Zhenguan), Changde (Chang Dexuan), a native of Shanzhou (now Shanxian County, Henan Province), reported Zhang Liang's illicit adoption of 500 adopted sons for intentional rebellion.Tang Taizong ordered Ma Zhou to investigate the matter, and both Cheng Gongying and Gongsun Chang confirmed that Zhang Liang had rebelled.Zhang Liang argued: "These two people are afraid of death, so they framed me." Then he said that he was an old minister of Zuo Ming.Tang Taizong said: "Zhang Liang raised 500 adopted sons privately, and what he wanted to do was to rebel." All officials also believed that Zhang Liang should be sentenced to death.Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent his eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling to bid farewell to Zhang Liang in prison, then escorted him to Chang'an West City to behead him, and confiscated all his family's property.

This is the comment on Zhang Liang in history.The reason why Zhang Jie came here today is that he found out that someone had committed adultery with his stepmother, and the stepmother had also seduced him.It is said that the people of the Tang Dynasty are tough, but this is too tough.

Now Zhang Jie didn't know how to deal with this matter. He wanted to tell his father, but he was afraid that his father would be furious if he found out about this matter, which would make the family uneasy.But there must always be an explanation for this matter. He doesn't have many friends, and he doesn't have many good friends. In the end, after thinking about it, only Cheng Churui can help him.

"You, you just think too much. If you want me to tell you that you know about it, your father may not know about it. Do you know that women from these aristocratic families are so easy to marry? You will have to pay the corresponding price if you marry.

Brother Zhang, don't think too much about it. What you have to do now is to know nothing. It's best to get out of that house first and don't get involved. I bet you that even if your father knows about the relationship between that person and you Mother is good, your father will definitely not blame your stepmother after he finds out, on the contrary, he may take that person by his side, making it difficult to hear. Your father likes to admit the wrongdoer. The father accepts him as a godson! "

"Cheng Churui, look at your friendship with me, don't let me swear at you!" Zhang Jie thought Cheng Churui was insulting himself, so he said angrily.

"Look, you are angry, brother! You are not your father, so how do you know what your father did. How do you know that what I said is wrong, so some things often have unexpected results in the end! Anyway! I'll analyze the matter for you, and you can figure it out yourself!"

Zhang Jie is gone!He left with anger, and Chu Rui was not in a hurry, unless history changed, otherwise this General Zhang would definitely do what he said.In fact, the last rebellion was not because he saw something clearly and made a final gamble.

"I saw Zhang Jie leaving angrily just now, what happened?"
