Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 92 Liu Heita Was Beheaded
No matter if you win the number one scholar, the scholar, the Jinshi, the doctor of Mingjing, the scholar, or the Mingfa, there is no one who is unhappy. You are Tian Shelang in the court, and you are in the Tianzitang in the evening. Becoming an exploiting class, the feeling of soaring, can only be felt, not expressed in words...

Have a party, have a party!Poor family with no money?Even if you chip in, you have to set up a banquet!

Drink, sing, write poetry, write poetry to the top of the tower!
Show off, show off vigorously, wear a red belt, wear a fancy horse, and run wildly on Suzaku Street!
In the past, the filth was not enough to boast, but now there is no limit to debauchery.The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. "

Everyone is happy, the royal family, the imperial court, the gentry, the common people...

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it was found that there were more and more unified territories, but there were too few officials available. Once local officials were appointed, it was inevitable to rebel again.The reason for the holding of the first imperial examination is exactly the same. The turbulent social environment is not conducive to economic development, and the war is relatively destructive to the gentry. The whole country needs a relatively calm environment, so the imperial examination system was adopted. Everyone found it from the ruins of the Sui Dynasty.

What happens in a country, whether it is external or internal, ranging from a major war to a small selection exam, is the result of compromise between various forces.Only when it is in the interests of the majority of people can a policy be implemented.Of course, the "majority" in the feudal era refers to the proportion of the landlord class.

Precisely because this imperial examination is in line with the forces of all parties, and the imperial court urgently needs this group of talents, the first batch of scholars accepted the appointment very quickly.Sun Fujia was received by Li Yuan, and he asked about the policy of governing the world in court, which attracted the envy of countless people.

Sun Fujia was also unambiguous, and he advised Li Yuan on three strategies: first, "the emperor has to contend with his ministers, even if he has no way, he will not lose the world"; , "Sex is similar, learning is far away".Sun Fujia pointed out that Chen Gai and Sui learned the lessons of the Sui Dynasty, and accused him one by one without evasion, generosity and sincerity. Li Yuan was deeply moved and thought that Sun Fujia "became cool and upright, so he should be dealt with as the Secretary of the Constitution", so he appointed him Serve the censor for the governance of the book.The official censor of the secretary office is the one that Lu Jing served at the beginning.Sun Fujia's three strategies were later realized by the famous admonisher Wei Zheng and supervised by Tang Taizong.

As for the great talent Xu Qing, his status was raised again, and he became the mentor of hundreds of Jinshi, and each of them came to Xie En to ask for advice, which made Xu Qing busy for a long time.Xu Qing sent 22 words by himself: "The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the sound is in the ear; family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and everything is concerned." These 22 words were copied by Sun Fujia two hundred times. Deputy, and then said a few words of encouragement such as caring for Liming, sacrificing one's life for the country, and being an honest official.

Luonan County Bofu, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, was teaching earnestly and earnestly to a group of people in their 37s and [-]s. Those older people listened very sincerely and refused to let go of a word. , That picture really makes people dare not look directly at it.

After lecturing this group of "big" students, Xu Qing really took it easy, not going to work, not picking up customers, not going to class, and closed the door to watch the snow.The snowflakes fell one by one, and they sang a few songs that no one could understand, making the servants of the Xu family laugh secretly in the dark.

One day, when the snow stopped, Xu Qing went out for a walk and heard yelling on Chang'an Street. He thought he was mad at himself, a big talent and star, but he heard everyone shouting:

"Liu Heita has been beheaded!!!"

"Prince Hebei Great Victory!!!"

"Shandong Xu Yuanlang has been wiped out!!!"

Xu Qing carefully recalled the war in the early Tang Dynasty. There were really not many princes who went to war, and this seemed to be the only one.

In September of the fifth year of Wude, before the Tang Dynasty had time to rule Hebei, Liu Heita borrowed troops from the Turks to reoccupy Hebei.Originally they wanted Li Shimin to go to war again, but Prince Zhongyun Wang Gui and Prince Xima Weizheng worried that Li Shimin would gain more prestige after defeating Liu Heitai, so they persuaded Li Jiancheng to ask for a personal expedition, gain fame for himself, and take the opportunity to make friends with heroes in Shandong. In order to protect the right of succession to the throne.

In November, Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng to attack Liu Heitai with his troops. Shandong, Daxingtai, Shandong, Henan, and Hebei prefectures were all under his command and had the right to do it cheaply.On November 22, Qi Wang Li Yuanji sent troops to defeat Liu Heita's younger brother Liu Shishan's army in Weizhou.Liu Heikai marched southward with his army, and all the counties and counties north of Xiangzhou responded to Liu Heitai and surrendered at the sight of the flag, but Tian Liuan, the general manager of Weizhou, refused to defend.

Liu Heitai couldn't attack Weizhou for a long time, so he took Yuancheng from the south, and then returned to attack Weizhou without success.In December, Liu Heita's army fell into Hengzhou and killed Wang Gongzheng, the governor of Tang Hengzhou.On the 6000th, Li Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, recovered Lian and Dingzhou.On the [-]th, Tian Liu'an defeated Liu Heita's army, captured Mengzhu, the governor of Shenzhou, and sent [-] generals to Tang.On the [-]th, Cheng Ren, the governor of Bingzhou in Tang Dynasty, broke through the Fan Yuan Department of Liu Heita's army.Li Jiancheng and Weizheng suggested that the military offensive should be accompanied by the release of prisoners to disintegrate Liu Heita's army.Liu Heikai's food and grass were exhausted, and many of his subordinates fled, or bound his generals to Tang.

Seeing that the hearts of the people were scattered, and fearing that the Tang army would attack from inside and outside, Liu Heikai fled to Guantao at night, but it was difficult to cross the pontoon bridge because it was not erected.Afterwards, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji led the army to chase after them. Liu Heitai ordered Wang Xiaohu to line up with his back to the water, but he himself saw that the bridge had been built and fled across the river west.The commander-in-chief fled first, and Liu Heita's troops lost their morale and were defeated by the Tang army. Li Jiancheng took advantage of the victory to pursue him across the bridge. cut.Li Jiancheng returned to Shandong and defeated Xu Yuanlang in one fell swoop.

Before the new year, Babaili rushed to send the news to Chang'an, which shocked the ruling and opposition parties.Why is it a big surprise?Because neither Li Jiancheng nor the entire prince group had shown too strong military capabilities before, the big victory this time undoubtedly proved the power of the prince group.This big victory also dimmed Li Shimin's most dazzling aura.What you Li Shimin has, the prince has now, and what the prince has, you Li Shimin cannot have.That is, Li Jiancheng is the eldest son!

The Li Er Group fell apart, some grassroots began to approach the Prince Group, some families began to wait and see, and the families that were pro-Li Er began to remain neutral.This winter is for Li Shimin.

Xu Qing continued to close the door to thank guests, watered and planted vegetables, teased Xu Qi, and Xueer.On the one hand, the dark river was split into two parts. One part was led by Yang Cheng and transferred to Chang'an, so as to ensure that he had soldiers on hand in case of accidents; Find out the situation on the top of the mountain.

When Li Yuan gave Xu Qing the right to "enter the inner palace to discuss matters", he mentioned that Xu Qing should be the governor of Cangzhou.Even if it is not Cangzhou, but the sending to Hebei is unchanged, it is good to find out the general situation first.Hebei, chaos, otherwise they would not rebel again and again and respond to Liu Heitai.
