Unofficial History of the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 25

The day after Yang Yichen's posthumous letter fell asleep on the couch, Gao Yaxian, the vice-general of the black door envoy, sent an order to line up a road in Xijiao, with swords, guns, swords and halberds lined up on both sides, and sent people to tell the soldiers: "Now Liaocheng has been destroyed, and it has been captured. Your family members They are all in the Guanzhong, or they want to see their parents and wives, or they are willing to surrender to the Xia Kingdom, in order to make meritorious service, all weapons are removed, and they all come out from the west gate. If you want to die here with the rebels, let them do what they want." In the surrounding formation. He called out, but [seeing] the soldiers abandoned their arms and armor, they all looked at Ximen and left.

Gao Yaxian sat outside the enclosure and released them one by one.Those who return to Guanzhong in the west will go to the next battalion, waiting to play the Lord Xia, and they will be escorted by horses.Those who are willing to vote for the Xia Kingdom will go to another battalion, record their names and positions, and play and promote them.On the left side at dusk, the surrounding soldiers were completely dispersed.

When Zhiji saw it, he looked up to the sky and cried, "This is really the sky and I will die!" He fainted to the ground.All the troops rushed in, bound Zhiji, and trapped him with a sill car.Hei Kai was urging his troops to advance to Liaocheng, when someone came to report: Liaocheng has been broken, and both Hua and Chengji have been captured.Hei Kai was overjoyed, so he ordered a feast for celebration, and invited Yichen, Ling Jing, and Gao Yaxian to have a drink together.After several tours of the wine shop, the black door told the crowd: "Today, God has given us success. Fortunately, it has been destroyed. Tomorrow, we will lead the soldiers into Liaocheng with your princes to see the Lord Xia."The next morning, the sky was twilight, and the small school came to report: last night, Taipu Yang and his family companions were missing.Hei Kai hurriedly asked why, and the principal said: "There is nothing left behind, but I saw a suicide note on the couch. I will invite my friend Ling Jijiu and Marshal Liu to apply together." Two quatrains: Since ancient times, high-ranking officials must be in danger, and willows and flowers fly outside the gate of Wuchang.

Han Hou fell in love with Huaiyin's post bitterly, and it was too late to regret it.

Also: Xuanwu will rest when he hangs the crown, and the princes and princes will not ask for it.

Floating alone in a flat boat has infinite scenery, and the waves meet Dongting autumn in the west.

Ling Jing read his poems and was very envious.Hei Kai wanted to lead soldiers to chase him, but Ling Jing stopped him urgently, saying: "No, just go if you destroy the thieves. The Lord Xia has already promised it." : "The righteous minister is like this, and he is really loyal and righteous. Borrow Xia's soldiers to avenge the king. Now that the rebel has been captured, his ambition is enough. I don't hear the sages say: 'Those who succeed in merit will retire?' There is no need to chase them." Hei Kai heard the words, so he pulled out the stronghold and marched to Liaocheng together.

Ling Jing and two men went to see Jiande, and they said that Yang Yichen had left in the night. Jiande was shocked and said: "If the righteous minister is gone, I will lose my share! My decree promises: 'If you capture the traitor, let you go back to the field.

"Today the thief has been captured, and the starry night fled.If I want to become this person's name, I don't have to chase after him. "

Jiande drove into Liaocheng, and invited the Queen Xiao to live in the main hall.Build morality and conduct courtiers' rituals, and apologize in court.Li Yangdi and the young master are in the palace, leading all the officials in person, all dressed in plain clothes, prostrate and mourn.Then gather the old officials of the Sui Dynasty and kneel on both sides.Jiande asked a group of knives and axes to escort over 1000 people and tied them to Huaji, Zhiji, Chengji, Chengzhi, and his party Yang Shilan, kneeling in front of the god.Passing the offering of wine and Ling Jing, he sternly scolded and said: "I am a traitor, your ancestor is a slave of the Xiongnu. Are you a citizen of China? You have received the favor of the Sui Dynasty, flattered Emperor Yang, killed your father and brother, and it is true that your father is a The policy of painting. Then the official title Xu Gong, you and others will be given official positions and favors, and the rest of the officials will not be able to match. Emperor Yang has no way and suffers [harm] living beings. Your brother is the emperor's favored minister. You can't die to remonstrate, but save him from evil. ;He killed his lord, extended his misfortune to his son, shepherded his lord's empress, fornicated the palace, stole the throne of heaven, and tyrannized his subordinates. Today, heaven and man are all angry, and they put their hands on me, Lord Xia, and killed your father in the city to thank the emperor of heaven. , what do you say?"

He bowed his head and was speechless. Jiande ordered the warriors to tie him up on the pillar, cut it with a knife, and put his head down, put it in a wooden box, and sent Gao Yaxian to send the head to Jiangdu.At this time, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty was in Turkic, and sent envoys to meet Empress Xiao, so Jiande sent Gao Yaxian led a thousand cavalry to escort Empress Xiao and Princess Nanyang, and they took their heads to Jiangdu.Jiandejiao pushed Yang Shilan and Zhu Hailai, and Jiande asked, "What do you have to say?" Shilan and others finally did not answer.Jiande was angry and taught to push and cut him.After detaining Zheng Shanguo, he was ordered to return to his hometown, and the rest of the thieves were all killed and reported.

Jiande sent an envoy to Fengbiao to proclaim his minister immediately, and reported the news in Dongdu.Sui Huangtai said with great joy: "Huaji has been killed, and the revenge of the two emperors has been avenged. I have no worries. Now there is such a person who is willing to help the country with such a heart. Why is Sui Zuo not standing?" So he feuded Jiande as the Lord of Xia.Jiande received the edict and received the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, posthumously posthumous Emperor Yangdi as Emperor Min, conferred the title of Duke Xun on Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Emperor Yangdi, appointed Pei Ju as Zuo Servant She, Cui Junsu as Zhizhong, and He Ji and Liu Tiao as Left and Right Chancellors , Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun were Taichangqing, and the rest of the officials were appointed as they were.The gold and silver, treasures, colorful silks, silk brocade, Gong'e, and colorful girls in the Sui Dynasty's treasury were divided into four parts, and sent to the Tangying Huai'an King, Weigong Li Mi, and Shiji to report to the accomplices The power of destroying thieves.All the income from Jiande will be given to the scattered soldiers, and rewards will be given for meritorious service.Li Quan's poem goes: "Humanization and ignorance are good at power, and the crime of licentiousness in palaces is boundless."

The emperors of the two dynasties were raped and murdered, and all the living beings in the world hang upside down.

It is Gao Xian who kills his colleagues with the help of Shilan, and it is Gao Xian who seeks to kill traitors.

The evil in the world must be repaid in the end, and there is an infinite immortality.

The major event of the day was set, and Jiande ordered the class teacher.

But Li Mi attacked Huaji and shared with Jiande a lot of gold and silk treasures, which were reported to Luoyang.

When Wang Shichong heard about this, he was very upset. He also heard that Li Mi returned to Jinyong, and many of his strong soldiers and horses died. Shichong wanted to lead his troops to attack him.Zhang Yongtong, the guard, said: "Now the secret is so powerful that we cannot compete with it. I heard that the king of Tang Lei had the intention of conquering the east. If he knew that our troops would go out, he would lead his troops to take advantage of the void. What plan can we defeat? , If the Tang Dynasty retreats, the Tang Dynasty will attack the latter. At that time, it is a dilemma. It is better to make a good relationship with Li Mi, to establish the foundation, to rest up the soldiers and horses, and to accumulate more food and grass, so as to become a tripartite force. The situation is a battle between accumulation and battle, and each wins and loses. Why do you want to attack?" Shichong stopped.

At the time when people reported that Tang sent envoys Yang Tong and Zhang Qianzi to call Shichong, Shichong received the book, opened it and read it. Allah, this is the reason why the destiny is gone.Since ancient times, emperors have been ordered to establish a country, and the king cares about China.

Hetu Luoshu, and the law, in order to promote the prosperity of the industry, there is no reason for this, and there is no one who overthrows it.

Long lived in Kuixiao, and died by relying on it. Shu ruled in Ziyang, and turned his back on favors. In the previous life, the car was overwhelmed, can we not learn from it?

Today, I am ordered by the heavens to sit in Chang'an, move east and west, and the four barbarians will be subdued.Ru Wang Shichonggu always abided by his duties as a minister, kept righteousness and courtesy, humbled his words and gave way, and went to Chang'an early.Zhizhi and etiquette are all codes of former philosophers' return to fate. They are congratulated and proclaimed ministers.

After reading it, Shichong was furious, tore up his book, and then drew out his sword, intending to kill him.Yang Tong shouted and said: "The two countries have grievances, why do you want to kill them? Don't do villain things." Shichong scolded: "Everyone is a traitor, and they are one with each other. They are all Sui officials, and I also want to enter Chang'an for a long time." carry on.

Because the young master is still alive, Gu did not raise any incidents.What kind of virtue do you have, to occupy a high position, dare to recruit me with books?But when you entered Chang'an and received the Zen throne of the king, you could be the son of heaven. I will enshrine the emperor in the eastern capital, so I can't be the son of heaven? "Holding the sword in hand, he beheaded Yang Tong at the bottom of the steps, and then raised his sword again to behead Zhang Qian. The generals said: "No, beheading one of them is really a countermeasure, how can it be done again!"If not, cut off Zhang Qian's ears, let him go back to the country, and order Bei to listen carefully to see how Li Yuan is happy and angry. " Shichong then pressed the sword and did not cut off, but cut off Zhang Qian's two ears and returned them. Shichong said: "Leave your body in order to pass the news. " Zhang Qian ran away with his head in his arms. Li Quan's poem said: "It's worth laughing at Luoyang Wang Shichong, and Yang Tong beheaded him as a hero."

There is no ambition in the military uniform, which makes people laugh for thousands of years.

General comment: After the death of Shang Zhou, all descendants were subject to Zhou, but the stubborn people of the younger sister soil, there were those who cried out to heaven and wanted to discipline them, and those who had never heard of Yin's virtuous ministers were beheaded by Zhou and worshiped Dasi.The evil of Yang Yang was born in Shang Zhou, so Jiande was counted and murdered, and it was possible to kill him. It was so embarrassing for Yang Yang to pay homage to Xiao. How could it be inappropriate to touch people's hearts?It regards the ancestors of the Han Dynasty as imports and imports.

Chapter 1 The King of Qin shot and hunted Zhang Qian at Beimang Mountain and ran back to Chang'an to hear about the Emperor Tang.The emperor was furious and announced that the king of Qin and the people had entered the court. The emperor said: "The king of Luoyang, Shichong, did not follow the rule of the king, and he coerced the emperor to command the princes.

I sent envoys to call for edicts, tore up his books, slandered him, cut off Yang Tong's head, cut off Zhang Qian's ears, and sent them back to the country.Now we have recruited people again, with the intention of entering the pass, and I am really ashamed if I don't avenge this enmity. "The king of Qin said: "The world is full of ringworm and scabies, and it is not enough to worry about.The ministers commanded the brave people, captured and executed them, so as to avoid future troubles. "The emperor was overjoyed, and he ordered the king of Qin to lead 5 horses and rush to Luoyang to burst out.

But it is said that Qin Wang Shimin lived in the West Mansion after his destruction, recruited virtuous people, used counselors, opened hotels, and ordered Fang Xuanling and Liu Wenjing to receive guests.Over the past few years, you and I have recommended each other, and we have gotten close to several people: one is from Duling, Jingzhao, and his surname is Du, and his name is Ruhui; the other is from Sanyuan, Binzhou, and his surname is Hou Mingjunji; One is from Wannian, whose surname is Huangfu and his name is Wuyi; one is from Yong, Qizhou, and his surname is Li, and his surname is Chunfeng; As General Shilang, he was in charge of the Taishi Bureau.The king of Qin respected these people very much.He also got several generals: one was from Jingzhao County, whose surname was Yin and Jiao, and his courtesy name was Kaishan; one was from Fuyang, and his surname was Ma and his name was Sanbao; The surname is Yu, the name is Zhining, and the style name is Zhongmi; one is from Chiyang, and the surname is Liu, the name is Hongji, and the style is Bengu; The name is Wuji, and the word is auxiliary machine.There are also dozens of generals from Luoyang, Shi Qiutu, Yin Shiyue, Wang Chang, Duan Zhixian, Bai Xiandao, Tao Wuqin, and Bai Shirang, who assist the Qin government and listen to their calls.

At that time, the king of Qin took the order, that is, he ordered Li Jing to be the general manager of the army, Yin Kaishan to be the captain of the army, Shi Yue and Wang Chang to be the guards on the left and right, and led 5 horses to Luoyang.But seeing the banners covering the fields, the boats and riders lined up in two directions, mighty and mighty, rushing to the east capital.

But when Wang Shichong heard that the King of Qin had led fifty thousand troops, he hurriedly gathered all the generals to discuss it. Everyone was pale and dared not speak up. Enemy soldiers from the Tang Dynasty." Shichong instructed Chunyude to respond later, and led Hao Ming and Ai Yuan to meet him, and ordered Huan Su to guard Suishui.The two armies greeted each other, and the formation was spread out. Shichong came out and scolded the king of Qin, saying: "You are a hypocrite and deceitful person, no different from a beast." The king of Qin was furious and ordered Ma Sanbao to come out, and Shichong ordered Ai Yuan to meet the enemy.If there is no sanhe, Sanbao kills Yuan under the horse, Shichong's army is defeated, and King Qin drives his troops out of Luoyang.Shichong went into the city, but he couldn't get out.

On that day, the King of Qin stationed his troops in the north of the Ju River, at the foot of the Qianqiu Ridge, where he stationed his army and horses.The next day, the Tang camp arranged a banquet to reward the three armies.The king of Qin was drunk, and asked the natives outside the camp: "Where is the good scenery here, where can I enjoy it for a while?" There are many mausoleums and the tombs of ancient loyal ministers and martyrs. There are countless rare birds and monsters, ancient cypresses and green pines, and infinite scenery. Only this can be admired." King Qin said: "I am about to go there. Shoot and hunt there, watch the scenery again." Li Chunfeng came in and said: "I am an innate number, and I know yin and yang, misfortune and good fortune, and the cyan color below my highness can protect me from disasters in a hundred days: one avoids walking a horse, two avoids opening a bow, and three avoids Playing scenery. If you violate these three, you will avoid disaster.” Qin Wang said: “I gallop among the bows and horses, and I feel refreshed and refreshed. Why not?” He and Ma Sanbao each wore bows and arrows, wore heart armor inside, and held weapons in their hands. They led a dozen cavalry to Beimang Mountain.

Entering the mountain, the King of Qin reined in his horse and walked slowly, looked around, sighed and said: "I think the king of the previous generation, who was in charge of China, had millions of teachers, and had a lot of heroic spirit. Looking at it now, there are only a few stone men. Stone horses follow each other, it's just such a loss. What's more, thorns are overgrown, and the hoofs of animals and birds are also mixed in. Don't you feel sorry for it! One day, the Tang family will be in the world, why is it different?
"While sighing, I suddenly saw a white deer rushing towards the face from the thorn bushes in the northwest. The king of Qin buckled his bow and hit the back of the deer with an arrow. The deer looked west with the arrow, and the king of Qin chased him. , Flying away for several distances, turned around the hillside, but the deer was gone. The king of Qin pursued it with his horse, but he suddenly came to a place, the flat plains, the wilderness, a place where he could look at calmly. It is a new city, with three gold characters "Jintang City" written on the gate plaque. The King of Qin said: "Isn't this the city where Li Mi lives? Ma Sanbao replied, "Of course, Your Highness can return in a hurry."If you don't know for a long time, you can still linger; if you know it, where will you and I go? ” Qin Wang said: “What is the hindrance? "So I looked forward to it.

But seeing the high walls and powder walls of the city, connected to the sky above, with phoenix wings and dragon scales, they are all made up.The surrounding buildings are unsurpassed, surpassing the scenery of Chang'an.The King of Qin said: "The palace of the gods in the sky, the home of the emperor on earth!

It's enough for a man to enjoy it. "

It turned out that the defending army flew to report to Li Mi, saying: "The King of Qin led dozens of horses straight across Qianqiu Ridge to view the city." Li Mi said: "This must be Li Shimin's trick to lure the enemy, and you must not pursue it." I saw Cheng Zhijie enthusiastically. The day before yesterday: "If you don't capture it at this time, what should you do?" He shouted: "Follow me if you have the courage!" It's Qin Shubao, who pats his horse and follows.

But it is said that the king of Qin watched it for a long time, and Sanbao said, "you can come back soon." Before he could say anything, someone yelled, "Li Shimin don't go!" The king of Qin looked at it and saw two horses galloping towards him.King Qin and Sanbao put them out, and King Qin immediately waited for them with a spear.When Cheng Zhijie arrived, he asked sharply, "Which one is the people of the world?" The king of Qin asked, "Who are you?" Zhijie said, "I am Cheng Zhijie, and I am here to catch you." Since two people came and resisted you, you are not a hero. Since you want to catch me, I am not afraid of you." Zhijie said: "Even if you come from all people, I will not be afraid of you." Suddenly the horse raised the moon ax , Take the king of Qin directly, and the king of Qin also greets him with a gun.The two horses met and fought for more than [-] bouts. The King of Qin was defeated, but he turned behind the mountain.Uncle Bao, holding two maces, also rushed over on flying horses.Three guarantees, unable to resist the enemy, fled separately.The two abandoned the three guarantees and came to chase the king of Qin. It was about ten miles away. The king of Qin looked back at Zhijie and came closer. He was flustered and complained repeatedly.Seeing that the shot failed, the King of Qin reined in his horse and went back. Knowing that he wanted to avenge an arrow, he held a moon ax and rode his horse with whips to drive straight to the King of Qin.I was in a hurry, and it happened to be an ancient temple in front of me. The signboard reads "Laojuntang" in big characters.

Carved beams and painted pavilions, bucket arch patterns.This temple is extremely effective.When the King of Qin saw this, he got off his horse and ran into the temple to escape.The king of Qin prayed in secret: the gods save me, if I can get out of this difficulty, rebuild the temple and put gold on the statue.Before the wish was over, there was a clamor of people and horses outside the temple gate. Shubao and Zhijie rushed to see the mountain gate closed tightly. Zhijie held a moon axe, opened the temple gate, and rushed in.The king of Qin had already shrunk under the treasure table, and entered the temple at Zhijie, searched around, and saw that he was hiding under the treasure table, only to see the red light cover, the purple mist rose into the air, and the eight-clawed golden dragon appeared in the mist.Zhijie holds the ax and chops. Turning to Shubao, he knows that it is Allah. There are two maces in the handwheel, and the ax is on the side.

Zhijie flashed to the ground in shock, and Shubao said: "Don't hurt your life, catch Wei Gong and let him go." Zhijie turned forward to the king of Qin, tied him up, and came to see Li Mi.Unknown life.

General comment: Wang Shichong didn't obey Wang Hua, but beheaded Yang Tong and Zhang Qian. Is this hatred not to be avenged?
What's more, the king of Qin accepts virtuous and talented people, his generals are like clouds, and his advisers are like rain. What is the world full of, and he dares to compete with him?Gai Beiman's shot was not intended to view the city.Cheng Zhijie was eager to capture him, did he know that Allah was under the treasure table?Readers of history can't help feeling sorry for it.
