Unofficial History of the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 33

Liu Wenjing from the Tang Dynasty's Ministry of Civil Affairs had originally arrived with the German army, and rushed in, rushing left and right among the Dingyang army. Wherever he went, no one dared to attack him.Those who are far away are stabbed by guns, those who are near are whipped, and countless people die.I only hope that Yu Jun's soldiers will come as a response, but they don't come.Four or five times he reached the middle army and was shot back by the bow.Shi De fought until dawn, only to hear the sound of drums in the northeast, Shi De only said that his father's soldiers responded, and when the soldiers retreated, they played Liu Jun's banner.The first general is Yuchi Jingde.The leaping horse and the whip shouted, "Don't go, the rebels!" Shi De was furious, and he came to meet him with his gun. The two horses met, and the fight reached fifty or sixty.Seeing that Jingde is powerful, Shi De looked south and left, and Liu Bing came to catch up.Arriving at Huizhou City, seeing the people and horses behind him looking close, Shi De turned his head and shouted, and entered Liu Jun's army, and the horses fell one after another at the place where the whip was raised.The teacher returned with a great victory.

When Jingde saw one man and one rider, he came to chase again, and forced him to the bridge. Shi De reined in his horse and turned back, and rushed into Liu Jun again, whipping his spear and killing countless people.Liu Jun rushed again, and then returned to his horse to charge and kill. After five times, Liu Jun dared not approach him.Shi De returned slowly.Later historians have poems praising the teacher's morality and single horse charging thousands of troops. The poem says: Zhang Fei used to drink the broken bridge, and then he has been a hero since then.

Outside the city of Huizhou, there should be a difficult enemy, and it can be seen that Yu's family is very courageous.

Shi De returned by himself, Liu Bing retreated, and Yu Yun's army arrived just now.It turned out that after chasing into the valley and walking in the middle of the night, when he came to find the way, he saw that Liu Bing was so powerful that he dared not move forward.When Yu Yun and Shi De's father and son met each other and talked about the fight, when they led the troops back to the south of the city, the soldiers who were looking for the prime minister had already entered the south of the city, and the people were settled.Seeing its great power, Yu Yun went to Haozhou.

In addition, Liu Hongji heard that Yu Yun was defeated and the south of the city was lost, so he sent all the soldiers in the city to fight, and he was meeting Jingde.Hongji sent Lv Rong out on horseback to cross with Jingde, who was whipped off by Jingde and rushed into the army to capture Hongji.Hongji's soldiers were in chaos, and Hongji fought to the death, leading dozens of cavalry to seize the road and flee.Jingde's flying horse chased after him, captured them and returned, and the rest of the army broke up.When Jingde enters the city, people are invited to King Kong. Anmin has made a decision to send Hongji to Wu Zhou.Wu Zhou wanted to order him to surrender, but Hongji was unyielding, imprisoned in Chengnan Prison, and died of vomiting blood.A long time ago, Jia Ji, a long-time historian, played back to the Emperor Tang, and the Emperor felt sorry for him.

At the same time, Qin Wang Shimin sent Zhang Gongjin and Wang Shichong to stand against Wang Shichong. Shichong received Li Mi's general surnamed Qin Qiong and styled Shubao.If you pull the army horse, you are afraid that the world will take advantage of the emptiness and advance.The emperor was very worried, and Wen Jingjin said: "Your Majesty should issue an edict to order the soldiers to stay still, and send a discerning man to form an alliance with Shichong to divide the world. Temporarily order the King of Qin to move his troops to the north, and take it slowly." He called Lun Wenzhen as an envoy, and sent gifts to Luoyang to report: "Liu Wuzhou invaded the Central Plains, and now we are talking about peace and strikes, and we will divide the world together. I hope that Qin Shubao will be sent to raise troops and divide their power from afar. Wu Zhou will order you to respect virtue and repay him If respect for morality is east, then I will go out of the pass again, and I can plan for Luoyang. If you win Luoyang, you will also take advantage of the time to attack Wu Zhou. This is a perfect plan.

"

Therefore, Wei Wei Lun Wenzhen brought famous horses and jade belts to Luoyang to see Wang Shichong's offering, and Shichong followed him, so he ordered Qin Shubao to raise an army in vain, and far away from the Tang Dynasty.Shu Bao said: "This is Li Yuan's strategy of fearing Wu Zhou and respecting morality. Since we are allied, we have to follow. Our soldiers should cultivate their vigor and wait for the people of the world to attack Wu Zhou. Take advantage of the time to take Hedong." So he ordered: Luoyang In the land of several counties, each trains the army and horses strictly, and chooses the division at sunrise.Shichong's intention is to wait for the annexation of Tang and Liu Xianxiang, but he can only do it if he is weak.The king of Qin also withdrew his troops and returned slowly.At this time, the emperor followed Liu Wenjing's plan and stopped the war with Shichong, and the king of Qin had to return to Tang.Wen Jing is self-satisfied, and she has no fear when going in and out of the court.Pei Ji came to see the emperor in private, saying that Wen Jing was in the court, so he must have different ambitions.The emperor said: "Zhu Zi'an dares to disturb my law? Let's take it easy."

However, Wen Jing and Pei Ji are both the founding fathers of the emperor, but Wen Jing's talent is far superior to Pei Ji's, and he has made extraordinary achievements. However, Ji and the emperor have an old favor, and they are favored alone. They are above Wen Jing, and Wen Jing is very unfair. The two formed a gap.One day, Wen Jing and his younger brother Wen Qi were appointed as regular servants of Sanqi.The two brothers met to drink, and when the wine was drunk, Wen Jing became furious and struck his pillar with a knife, saying, "If you don't kill Pei Ji, this thief is not a real man!" Wen Qi hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands and said, "Don't talk nonsense. This is not a good omen." A servant had reported this to Ji privately, and Ji was very angry.When Wu Zhou entered the bandits, Wen Jing went to Weizhou as an envoy, Liu Hongji was arrested, Wen Zhong was defeated and died, and Ji Sui was slandered by the emperor. He said that Wen Jing was connected with the bandits. Defeated, and tired of complaining, slandering the Holy One.The emperor was furious when he heard that, so he went down to the prison and sent Pei Ji and Xiao Yu back to the prison for interrogation.Wen Jing said: "I used to live in the Taiyuan General's Mansion. I was appointed as Sima, and I was the chief Shilue. Now Ji has been shot, and I live in the first place. I don't want to be favored. The official position of a minister is especially rewarded with everyone. My family There is no profit in the suitcase, and sincerity cannot be hopeless, that's all. If you say that I have an objection, who can witness it?" The two returned to the emperor, and the emperor said: "Wen Jing's words are all words of resentment and hope, and the opposite is true. Well, who should I use as a witness? How can I be innocent?" At that time, Li Yu was by his side, fighting vigorously with Xiao Yu, but the emperor refused to listen.The next day, the King of Qin came to see him and asked Wen Jing firmly. He said: "In the past in Jinyang, Wen Jing first established extraordinary strategies, and when things came to fruition, he told Ji to know. Now Ji is on top of him, and he favors the future. Resentment and hope are not daring to rebel, and you should forgive them for ten generations." Di Sushu was jealous of being a quiet person, and Gu said to the King of Qin, "This man is violent. If he does not get rid of it now, he will eventually become a trouble in the future." The King of Qin retreated on his own.Pei Ji went in again and said: "Wen Jing is a person with many powers and tricks, but his sexual guess is dangerous, his anger is indifferent to difficulties, his ugly words and eccentricities have been tested violently. If the world is not peaceful today, I am afraid that it will be a worry for the future." The emperor decided and sent him to prison. Take it out and take it to Chang'an City.Wen Jing caressed and sighed: "'The tall birds are exhausted, and the good bows are hidden. The enemy's country is destroyed, and the counselors are dead.

'If you don't lie.Today I die, and I have the proof. "So he was tortured by neck. He was 52 years old, in the summer and April of the third year of Wude. Historian has a poem praising: In the past, Wen Jing revitalized Guanzhong, and began to make great contributions in Taiyuan.

A formidable strategist in the Tang Dynasty, a majestic current Nayan Gong.

From time to time, the first construction was very serious, and it was said that it was unfaithful.

Pei Jizhen's slander hurts loyalty, making people sad and tearful.

It was the day when Wen Jing was killed, the sky was dark and the ground was dark, and the water and sand were blown up. The people all over the city were crying and sighing.The emperor ordered Wen Jing's body to be filled in a coffin and buried outside Chang'an City.

Wang Shichong was overjoyed and said: "Liu Wenjing is dead, so I have no worries." When asked about the reason, Shichong said: "In Tang Dynasty, this person is only a wise man, but he can't use it. It's heaven. I don't want to make it peaceful." So he was arrogant, and it was the imperial edict of Jiaoyue Wang Dong, who set nine tins and twelve crowns.Build the banner of the Son of Heaven, drive it with a golden chariot, attach six horses, and prepare auxiliary chariots for five o'clock.Yantou Yunhan, Wu Bayi, set up a palace county, and entered and exited the police station.From time to time, a sorcerer Huan Fasi claimed that he could resolve prophecies, and he published Confucius' "Book of Closed Houses".In the book, there is a man holding a pole and driving sheep in front of him.Fa Si said that Yu Shichong said: "Sui, the surname of Yang is also, Qian Yi is the king, and the king is behind the sheep. It is the Fu Ming of the king who replaced the Sui." The words and the king's name are associated, Ming is ordered by the talisman, and the virtue is given to the world, and he is the son of heaven.Shichong was overjoyed and said: "This is the destiny." So he worshiped the heir of the law as an admonishing doctor.Fearing that people would not believe it, Shichong ordered the sergeants to collect flying birds, write talismans on silk, tie them around the necks of birds, and let them fly.Hundreds of officials persuaded him to come in. At that time, Nayan said that Su Wei was old and he was an official at home. Shi Chong said that he was a minister of the Sui Dynasty. He was well-known, and every performance must be signed.Shichong is in the eastern capital, and all the generals have the intention of respecting Shichong as emperor.Let's see how it goes.

General comment: Wen Jing initiated a big plan, rewarded but not rewarded, and died by slander, and Taizong was unable to save him, why?Said: If you can't, don't dare.When Wenjing Jinyang introduced Ji to the people of the world, there was a comparison between Henkel and Wei Wu, but he did not return his heart to the ancestors;For those who are quiet and quiet, they have achieved fame and fame, but they cannot retreat to the whole body. Although their talents are high, their knowledge is shallow.

Chapter 1 King Shichong of Yue was abolished and usurped the Sui Dynasty. At this time, Shichong knew that the generals wanted to support him, so he sent Duan Daxie to King Tong of Yue, saying: "The fate of heaven is not always, and the meritorious deeds of King Zheng are very prosperous today. At the meeting of all ministers, it was said that Sui Zuo had passed away." In the end, His Majesty Fu Wang imitated the story of Yao and Shun, and passed on the great position to King Zheng. If it is in line with the heart of heaven and the will of the people in the bottom, then your majesty and ancestors will be very lucky. The ministers and others have agreed, and now I will tell you." Dong said angrily: "The people in the world, Gao Zu The world also. If Sui Zuo has not declined, this statement cannot be made; if the destiny has been changed, why bother to abdicate? The public or the ancestors are called the old ministers, or the high-ranking officials of the Taiding.
When Duan Da heard this, he came out full of shame.

In the fourth month of summer, all the officials gathered in the main hall to discuss the important affairs of the court. Suddenly Shichong came to the hall with a sword.Dong looked at him sideways, and Shichong scolded, "What do you think of me?
It doesn't have four eyes and two noses, but it has many resourceful ears. Dong didn't answer in silence. All the ministers played again: "King Zheng's merits and virtues are so great that he should take the seat of Zen." Dong said: "Why do you force me to teach me and give up the foundation that will never be destroyed?" " Shichong said sharply: "I drive east and west and have made great achievements. Now I am the emperor. Do you have any intention of not allowing it? "Dong said: "Who dares not to follow. Shichong said: "The dragon dives into the abyss, why do you treat people like eels?" "Dong's face was covered with sweat, and he couldn't speak for a while. Shichong sneered and went down to the palace. Dong returned to the harem, crying bitterly and said: "Wang Shichong's usurping heart is well known, I can't just sit and suffer humiliation." "

The next day, servants were summoned to shoot Shi Gangchang and Shangshu Cui Wei into the harem. Dong cried and said, "Wang Shichong usurped the rebellion. Please come here and fight against him together." Shi Gangchang said: "No. In the past, Lu Zhaogong couldn't bear Ji It is a shame for the world to be defeated and lose the country. Now the power has been at the door of Wang Shichong for a long time. The internal and external ministers and the people of the four directions, regardless of the principles of adversity and obedience, will follow him to death. , What is the use of money? Once you can't bear it, you want to get rid of the disease and the disease gets deeper; if the disease is deep, it will be a disaster, your majesty must not be violent.

Dong took Huang Suzhao from his bosom and threw it on the ground, saying: "It is tolerable, which one is not tolerable?"
My will has been decided, so what fear is there in death! Dong turned around and entered. Ding Ji called Wu Shangchun and said, "It's too late!"Kong asked himself to kill his family, so he should go to ask for his head, so as not to die. Shang Chun said, "Yes." " Nai called Shi Gangchang and said: "Although there is wisdom, it is better to take advantage of the situation. If you don't go now, you will die soon. " Gangchang said angrily: "The master humiliates his ministers to death. 300 people from Suwei, Cangtou, and Guantong gathered in the hall and rushed out. Dong raised his chariot with his sword, and ordered the left and right to send out of Nanguan. Gangchang lay under the chariot, and said: "Your Majesty wants to conquer the world with hundreds of troops. Filling is to drive the flock of sheep into the tiger's mouth, and it is useless to die in vain.I don't regret my life, but I see that things are not going to work. Dong said: "Our army has already moved, so don't stop me." "So he went out. But he saw Duan Da leading Fan Si, Xiang Daoyuan and other thousands of iron-armored forbidden troops gathered like a gathering. Dong held his sword and shouted: "I am the Son of Heaven!"Do you break into the palace and want to intercept the king? "

So the forbidden army looked at each other face to face, and they didn't dare to move.Duan Da called Fan Si and said: "What is the purpose of King Zheng supporting you? It is for today's business. If you lose, your whole family will be killed." Fan Si was holding a sword in his hand, and Gu said to Duan Da: "You should kill me. , should you bind him?" Da said: "King Zheng has a life, he must die, not live." Fan Bang held the spear in his hand and ran to the front of the chariot.Dong shouted: "How dare you be rude!" Before he finished speaking, he stabbed Dong in the chest with a gun and knocked out of the chariot.

Fan Si yelled: "I am ordered by the emperor to kill Wudao Hunzhu!" Then he stabbed him in the back again, revealing that Dong died beside the chariot.When Wu Shangchun saw him, he twirled his spear to meet him, and was killed by Fan Si, who scattered them all.They sent people to report to Wang Shichong, who saw that Dong was dead, pretended to be shocked, hit his head on the chariot and cried.Immediately, he went around to inform the ministers, and Shichong said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the emperor's body should be stored in a coffin and parked in a side hall." Yang Tong died at the age of 22.

The ministers of the World Chonghui decided to commit the crime of killing the king, and the Minister ordered Zuo Yi to say: "Behead Duan Da alone to thank the world." Shi Chong said for a long time: "Think about it again." Jing said: "I just stop here, I don't know the second. " Shichong said: "Fan Si is a big rebel and unfaithful, kills his master, pushes him out, and barbarians from his three tribes." Fan Si shouted: "It's not my fault, Duan Da passed on the teachings of King Zheng to kill the king!"
"Shichong ordered to cut his tongue first, and cursed vaguely until he died, killing the three tribes. Later, the historian had a poem as evidence: Recalling Wang Shichong in the past, when he killed the king, he should be red in the ocher robe.

However, the three clans of Fan Si and Yi were sent to make the people of Li deaf.

Duan Da and others discussed the establishment of a new monarch, and they all persuaded Wang Shichong to follow Zheng Zhengtong to reassure everyone.Shichong still gave way three times, but sent all the generals to use soldiers to clean up the officials, and then the dragon uniforms, the law drove forward, and the advocacy entered the palace.

Every time there is a door, the followers must call.Go to the East Pavilion, change the crown, and then go to the main hall, which is the emperor's throne.Jianyuan was enlightened, and the country name was Zheng.He made his brother Shi Heng the king of Qin, Shi Wei the king of Chu, and Shi Yun the king of Qi.Among the clans, they were appointed one by one.Lizi Xuanying was the crown prince, Xuanshu was the king of Han, and the rest of the officials, big and small, were granted titles.Every time I go out, I ride lightly and go there without police. When I travel around the Qusi, the pedestrians are ordered to stop and stand. Xu said to his people: "So the emperor lived in Jiuchong, and there is no way to investigate the feelings of the subordinates. Shichong is not greedy. Those who, this time to save the ear.

Three if one state governor.Since everything is seen in person, it should be discussed with scholars. "After all what?
General comment: Although the generals in the eastern capital wanted to push Shichong away, how could Shichong threaten Sui Zhengtong by himself?
Fan Si's generation, Gu Nai, murdered the king of Yue under his chariot, which was a great rebellion;Therefore, behead Fan Si to thank the world, and especially behead Shichong to thank the king of Yue, then the public case between the two is settled.
