Unofficial History of the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 65

On the day when Taizong's acting father took the throne, Gao Zu retired to Changle Palace and was called Taishanghuang.The King of Qin wanted to kill all the people in the East Palace and the Qi Mansion, Yuchi Jingde said: "No, now that the big event has been decided, both palaces are ministers, the king wants to kill the rest of the party, and the people are swaying. If there is any change, I'm afraid it's not for peace. Yes." Qin Wang said: "I hate this generation, and they conspired to harm me, so I want to exterminate them to avenge my ears." Jingde said: "Those who compete with the king, Jiancheng, Yuanjiye. The two sons have been destroyed, so how do you expect them all?" thing?

The affairs of the people are in the second palace, just as the ministers are the king, each is the master, and the duties of the ministers are also true.Don't use it if you explain it. People say that the king says that he will abandon his hatred. The people are grateful and happy to use it. This is a perfect strategy. " Qin Wang said: "You are very kind, but I can't be without hatred. "So he ordered to comfort the soldiers of the two palaces, and everyone was stunned.

However, Wei Hui first washed the horses for the East Palace, and often advised Prince Jiancheng to get rid of the King of Qin as soon as possible, so that the King of Qin sent people to call for a visit, and they were recruited to worship in the ground. When people hear the words, they are all terrified.Zheng behaved calmly, and said to him: "The former prince has already followed the Zhengyan, so there will be no disaster today." The king of Qin said angrily: "The defeated minister is here, and he is still unyielding?"Jingde knelt down and said: "Such loyal ministers can be tolerated." The king of Qin then changed his appearance and said with a smile: "I also know that Xuancheng is a great economic talent. I don't hold grudges, and I will protect wealth and honor with you." Then he surrendered, the king of Qin worshiped Zheng as the master of Zhan affairs, Wei Nai recruited Wang Gui and Wei Ting, both worshiped as counselors, and Xue Wanche was the commander of the army, but the soldiers of the second palace each received awards. .

It was August, and it was reported that Zhengcheng Phoenix came to the ceremony, and Dongchuan Qilin appeared.Hundreds of officials discussed, today's situation is down, Qin Wang is the father of the king, and he can submit a letter to the emperor to pass the throne to Qin Wang.At that time, more than forty people from Prince Shaoqing Xiao Yu, Zhongshu Lingyu Wenshiji, Supervisor Du Yan, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Sun Wuji all came to see Feng Deyi and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Pei Ju, and said this together. thing.De Yi said, "It's exactly what I want." Then Yuchi Jingde and Tai Shi ordered Li Chunfeng to go straight into the inner hall to see the emperor.Feng Deyi said: "Since the uprising, the king of Qin has conquered grievances in the east and the west, conquered the south and conquered the north, and spread all over the world. His achievements have surpassed the past and surpassed the present. Although Tang and Wu have never surpassed this. The meeting of the ministers said that the big event has already been completed. Ding, Fu Wang, the emperor will pass on the throne to His Royal Highness, and the heart of heaven will be in line with the will of the people in the bottom. Then the emperor's prosperity will be boundless, and the ancestors will be very lucky. The ministers and others have agreed, and now they are playing to know." I agree with you." So the auspicious day of the eighth month was selected, and the Shang Emperor Xiamao passed on the crown prince Qin Wang, who was immediately located in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, and was named Emperor Taizong, and the ninth year of Wude was changed to the first year of Zhenguan.The Changsun family is the queen, and she pardons the world.Gao Shilian was regarded as the waiter, Fang Xuanling and Yu Wenshi were the Zhongshu Ling, and Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi were the servants, but the officers and men of the Qin government did not all use them.On this day, sheep and horses were slaughtered, soldiers were rewarded, warehouses were opened for relief, and the people were happy.There is a poem in Liquan: Recalling that Emperor Taizong was on the throne in the past, and his ministers issued an imperial edict to bestow Huang Feng.

The fortune of the Tang Dynasty was said to be prosperous, and Shun, Dayao and Tian were happy to meet again.

At that time, the major event has been decided. Taizong personally ordered the grandson Wuji, the minister of honor, etc., and distributed the noble town. He ordered Chen Shuda to sing his name to show it to His Royal Highness.Emperor Taizong said: "Today's Yian, both at home and abroad, is due to the strength of the ministers. The rewards and rewards I have described for the ministers may not be appropriate, so we should speak separately." So the generals competed for merit, and there were endless divergences.

Suddenly a person from the tent came in and said: "The minister raised his troops to Guanxi, the first to respond to the banner of righteousness. Today Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others specialize in knives and pens. They have made the most of their merits, and they are not convinced."Taizong said: "At the beginning of the banner of righteousness, although my uncle was the first to raise his troops, Gai escaped disaster by himself. When Dou Jiande devoured Shandong, his uncle's entire army was wiped out; Is there any merit? Fang Xuanling, in the midst of strategizing, Yi'an Sheji, if it is about merit and reward, it is definitely suitable to be the first uncle. My uncle is a close relative of the country, I sincerely have no love, but I can't use personal favors to share with honorable ministers Your ears." The supernatural power heard this silently, and the general said to him, "Your Majesty, you are a public servant. Although the king of Huai'an is close to his relatives, uncles and nephews, he has no personal interests. How dare we rest assured?" They were all pleased.

At that time, someone reported to the Turkic Office, saying that Taizong killed Jiancheng and Yuanji, and ascended to the throne, and Gaozu retreated into the harem.The Turks were startled and said: "The Tang Dynasty is so inhumane, I should send troops to attack it.

"It turned out that the Turks entered the bandits in the seventh year of Wude, and met the emperor in Youzhou. After accepting the alliance, they no longer raised their troops. At this time, the food was abundant, and the army, horses, chariots, and equipment were changed into cities and villages, and everything used was ready. Hearing this news, he was even more joyful. So they gathered for a banquet, and the generals discussed it. Jieli Khan said: "Tang Gaozu retired to the emperor, Taizong ascended the throne, why not attack him because of the chaos in the country? "One minister, Tuoba Ruyi, remonstrated: "Although the Tang Dynasty was chaotic and resourceful in civil and military affairs, Emperor Taizong was good at employing people, and all the officials will do their best to help the new ruler and the people of the world.Khan can't cut it hastily. "Suddenly a man walked out of the squad headquarters, laughed and said, "If you don't enter the army at this time, when will you wait?" "Everyone looked at him as a native of Beifan. Fu's surname was Yelu and his name was Bocai. He was a general under Jieli's subordinates. Jieli was overjoyed and said: "If I want to defeat Tang, what strategy should I use?" " Bocai said: "If you only raise your own troops, it is difficult to win, and you must use a pincer attack, so that Tang soldiers cannot rescue them. Even if you have a clever plan, you cannot use it.If you want to achieve great things, you must join forces. Jieli asked, "What is a joint army?" " Bocai said: "You can send envoys to Tuli Khan to sue the previous matter, promise to cede the land, divide the Tang Dynasty equally, and order the Khan to raise [-] troops and attack with all his strength, and he will win a complete victory. "

Jieli was overjoyed when he heard that, so he sent two envoys to choose the one who could speak quickly, and go to make an appointment with the Tuli army.Jieli's soldiers arrived at the north of the Weishui Bian Bridge and set up a camp. They first sent their confidantes and men whose surnames had lost their names and thought power to see Taizong to find out the truth.Sili took the order, went to worship under the gate, and said deeply that the two khans raised millions of people, and now they are approaching, and their front is so sharp that it is unstoppable.Emperor Taizong said: "I used to make a face-to-face relationship with Ru Khan, and bequeathed gold, silver, and Shu brocade to those who have nothing to count, and wanted to be good to our neighbors. Now that Ru Khan betrayed the alliance and entered the bandits, would you rather be ashamed?

Although you were born in Rong and Di, you have no knowledge, but you still have people's hearts. How can you completely forget your great kindness and boast about your strength?Let me cut you off first. "Si Li was panicked, bowed his head and was speechless. Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi said: "No, this person is an envoy from a foreign country. You can treat him generously and send him back to the camp. "

Taizong said: "When I send it back now, the captives will say that I am cowardly. The more I rely on the mausoleum, the more I will show that I am stronger than him."

Yu and others tried their best to dissuade them, but Taizong imprisoned Sili under the door, that is, he put on his full clothes, put on his gun and mounted his horse, and went out of the Xuanwu Gate. .

Taizong immediately yelled: "Have you ever seen me? You and I are brothers, and we will never offend each other. Why do you fail to join the bandits? Do you want to die yourself?" The Turks were shocked when they heard the words. Worship the ground, shout long live, and hear for dozens of miles.After Russia, the Tang soldiers came one after another, with banners covering the field and swords and halberds heavily guarded. They lined up in front of the formation in order.The emperor used his hand to make all the troops retreat. Only a stone's throw away from Xieli, the two talked to each other.Xiao Yu kowtowed at the horse and said: "Your Majesty, why do you underestimate the honor of Wancheng, and talk to the captives?" The emperor said: "I prepared it because I was familiar with it, but Qing didn't know it. That's why the Turks dared to pour their country and came straight to Jiaodian. The reason is that there are difficulties in our country, and I have just ascended the throne, so it is said that I cannot resist. If I show my weakness and refuse to defend behind closed doors, the captives will plunder and do not copy. Therefore, I will go out alone on Qingqi, as if I were light Shocking the appearance of the army, so that we know that we must fight. Now that the captives have penetrated deep, they must have a heart of fear. If you fight, you will overcome it, and if you make peace, you will be strong, and you will subdue the Turks. In this one action, you try to see it." Yu said: "This A man with a human face and a beast's heart should also be guarded against." It turned out that when Jieli saw that his thinking power was not returning, he also saw the emperor standing up and lightly.

General batch: At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, heroes rose together, and Zheng and Xia ruled the state, powerful and invincible, Lai Taizong planned and staged strategies, whipped the universe, knew people and done them well, and did not remember old evils. Become an emperor, the so-called talent for life, is beyond the reach of future generations.

Chapter 1 Li Jing Yinshan broke the Turks and sent people to ask for peace. The emperor promised him that he beheaded the white horse and made a blood oath with Jieli on the bridge, and the Turks led their troops back.Xiao Yu asked: "When the Turks were not at peace, the generals would fight, but His Majesty forbade it, and the ministers thought it suspicious. Now that the captives retreat, what is the plan?"

Taizong said: "I see that the Turkic people are numerous and not organized; the ambition of the monarch and his ministers is to ask for bribes.

When he asked for peace, the Khan was alone in the west of the water, and all the dignitaries came to visit me; if I was drunk and bound him, because I attacked them, I was like a rotten man.He also ordered Changsun Wuji and Li Jing to wait for him in ambush in Youzhou.Therefore, those who do not fight, think that my accession to the throne is shallow, the country is not stable, and the people are not rich, so we should calmly caress them;If the captives are afraid and make preparations, I will not be able to succeed.Therefore, Juan Jia Tao Ge was trapped in gold and silk.Since he got what he wanted, he should retreat by himself, he must be arrogant and lazy, no longer equipped, and then raise his prestige, provoke provocation, and be destroyed in one fell swoop.If you want to take it, you must give it firmly, this is what is called it.Do you know what? " Yu thanked him and said: "Your Majesty's clever calculations are beyond the reach of my ministers. "

On that day, the emperor led a group of people and horses back to the court, and the officials congratulated them, arranged a big banquet, and rewarded the soldiers.While drinking, he suddenly reported to Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, to see him, and said: "The Turks are anxious to find a plan, and they take advantage of the situation to pursue them. They are all invincible. Why don't they be ordered to pursue them?" Taizong said: "Jieli can also use troops. When the army and horses are retreated, they must lie in ambush in dangerous places to prevent the pursuers. If I pursue him, I will be planning a plan, but if I let him go far away, I will delay the plan so that the captives will not be on guard.

"Gong Jin said: "Although he has accepted the alliance today, his heart is cruel. If he doesn't eliminate it, it will eventually become a future trouble. There is a reason for it. " Taizong said: "how do you know it is desirable? "Gongjin said: "I know that Jieli indulges in violence, condemns his loyalty and conceals his traitors, one is also; relying on the masses for the country, and now Xue Yantuo's various ministries are betrayed, he is bound to be lonely, two are also; , are all offended and cannot be tolerated, three things; the barren land in the northern part of the frontier, the weather is cold and frosty early, and the food is cut off, four things; When Chinese people enter the north, they gather together at the place where they scream, and when the army goes out of the fortress, they naturally respond, six things.The Turks have these six defeats, so they know it is desirable. "Taizong said: "Jieli not only invites a marriage, but also discusses it, fearing that he will lose faith in foreign countries. "Gong Jin said: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Xiang Yu allied in Honggou, and then Gaozu attacked and won the first battle.Kuanglu has no father and no king, why believe it?Now that the military pay is abundant and the men and horses are mighty, the soldiers will be wiped out with a drum. "The emperor heard about it and said: "Qing talks about gold and jade. Then Li Jing was appointed as the chief of the capital, Zhang Gongjin and Li Shiji were the deputy chiefs, Xue Wanche was the vanguard, and 15 soldiers were mobilized. Recently, they sneaked out of Chang'an, killed Mayi, and came to Dingxiang. Yu Chai Shao and others all went their separate ways. .

But it is said that Turkic Jieli heard that Tang soldiers had arrived, and sent people to report to the tribes in the starry night to raise troops to respond.Jieli then set up a general and waited for the soldiers to arrive.People report that Tang soldiers have arrived in Baidao, and Jieli raises troops to meet them.Xue Wanche, the pioneer of the Tang Dynasty, ran out and cursed: "You wild dog slave! Today there are millions of soldiers, and thousands of generals, divided into more than [-] teams. They have arrived in your country. If you don't return, you still resist?"

Jieli was furious, and raised his gun to fight against Wanche. Wanche was defeated, but Jieli raised his troops to cover the attack and rushed to more than [-] li.At the sound of the gong, an army spread out, with clear banners, and Tang General Chai Shao came out to fight.

Jieli said: "This generation is not my opponent." In the battle, Shao lost again.Jieli chased after him, and then reached the slope of Shili Mountain. After the sound of drums, the first army intercepted, and Li Jing, the general manager, had a clear banner.Jieli had driven for twenty li, and the men were exhausted, and there was a new force. During the battle between Yingli and Jingzheng, suddenly the gongs in the rear of our team were loud and loud, and Jieli hurriedly retreated. The soldiers invaded Qikou, and all the villages were burned down, and they came from behind.

"

Jieli was shocked, so he ordered his deputy general Linghu Yiya to set up a banner to confront Li Jing, and Xieli withdrew his troops and rushed back to Qikou.Seeing that the fireworks in the various villages were still on, they met Li Shiji, the two horses crossed, and Xieli was defeated and left.And halfway back, the lieutenant Yi Ya had been defeated by Li Jing and returned.Jieli saw that the Tang soldiers were coming everywhere, so he led the men and horses to walk on Tieshan, leaning on the mountain and going down to the stronghold.Suddenly the meteor horse reported that the Tang soldiers had broken through the Yin Mountain, and the chiefs led the people to descend to the Tang Dynasty.Jieli was shocked and ordered to pull out all the villages.The former army reported: "Zhang Gongjin never lived on the dangerous mountain on the way home. When he went down to Dazhai, the Tang soldiers all stationed at the foot of the mountain." He said: "Tang soldiers refused to fortify Heren Mountain, so that we can't rescue each other from head to tail. You can go straight to the north of Suni and go straight to the lost place of Suni on the back of the mountain. It's not too late to come to the land of multiple counties with its strong troops ’” Jie Liranzhi, raised his troops to go to Jiyuquan, intending to escape to the north.Spies scout out, fly to report and Shiji.Shiji was shocked and said: "If Suni loses his place, our soldiers will be helpless." So Wang Daozong led his troops to pursue him.Jieli traveled about twenty miles, and reported in detail: Tang soldiers have come to chase after him.Jieli handed over to the rear team as the vanguard and rushed to Heren Mountain. As a result, the pursuers blocked him, but Jieli burned the village and passed by.When the people of the Tang Dynasty knew it, they hurried back with their troops, and half a day had passed since Xieli.Wang Daozong still came to chase him, and Jieli's soldiers passed down the mountain and rushed forward.There was a loud drumbeat in front, and the first army came. It was Zhang Baoxiang, the general manager of the Tang army.Baoxiang rode his horse and raised his gun and shouted: "Jieli! We will wait for a long time, and you can come down early to avoid your death.

" Jieli was furious, and he rode his horse and raised his gun to fight. The battle was not counted. Suni's lost soldiers in the front, and Tang soldiers in the back, surrounded him, and Jieli and Tuli were all arrested.

It turned out that Suni Shi was first bribed by Shiji and was afraid of Tang Tianwei, so he gathered all the people to surrender. It happened that they met here and joined forces.After Jing and others captured Jieli and escorted him to Chang'an, he ordered his troops to return to the court with a triumphant performance.At that time, Emperor Taizong was discussing political affairs with his ministers in the Shuntian Building. He suddenly reported that Li Jing had defeated the Turks, and Zhi Jieli and others had returned to the court. It's just what I want." So the cultural relics were displayed, and the dignified purge was carried out.When he didn't move, all the generals came to see Jieli and others, and worshiped on the ground, not daring to look up.

Jieli took a peek at him, and sure enough, he was well-dressed and his sword was staggering, which was very different from Yidi, so he secretly said cheers.The emperor ordered him to release his ties, and asked Jieli: "You have taken the alliance to enter the bandits, and every time you boast of being strong and invincible, why are you being captured today? Have you ever seen such a majesty when you live in Turkic?" Jieli said: "Your Majesty, the power of heaven is serious. You are a frog at the bottom of a well, how can you see the sun!" The emperor said: "This statement is true. According to your repeated violations of my situation, it is reasonable to grant death. Every time you ask for an alliance, you can be pardoned and give you a residence in the Taipu Temple. Salary rice, waiting to be used.” Xie Li thanked him again and withdrew.The emperor added Li Jing as doctor Guanglu, and the rest of the soldiers were rewarded for their merits.Song Xian Fan Juxuan has a poem praising that: Li Jing was no less good at using soldiers than Kong Ming when he went to the barbarians.

All of Jieli's masters looked up to virtue, and who in the Tang Dynasty dared to be as famous as him.

Banners appear in the shadow of captive smoke, and drums and music sing amidst the sound of miasma and rain.

The magical use of ghosts and gods should be unpredictable, said Mr. Lingyan Pavilion.

At that time, the Turks were dead, and their tribes either attached to Xue Zhengtuo in the north, or went west to the Western Regions, and there were still 10 people who came to the Tang Dynasty.The emperor asked the officials how to deal with it.

The general batch: Turks ask for peace, and the emperor promises it not to fight, because the country is not safe and the people are not rich; and it should be quiet to caress the ears.Zhang Gongjin thought that taking advantage of the momentum to pursue the attack would be invincible. Does Xi Xia say that he has lost faith in foreign countries?The emperor obeyed his words, and millions of soldiers broke through the Yin Mountains. Bi Yiya dared to confront Li Jing, and it was often seen that he was not wise.

Chapter 1 Xuanwumen Zou Qidewu's close ministers said to each other: "Yi and Di have been troubled by China since ancient times, but now they are ruined. I don't know that they were moved between Yan and Henan in Henan, and they were scattered in prefectures and counties. The teaching of farming and weaving can be transformed into Farmers." The emperor followed him, and Li Baiyao, a subordinate, came in and said, "Impossible." The emperor said, "What do you think?" Baiyao said, "Although the Turks are one country, there are different types, and each has its chiefs. Because of the separation, all the rulers will be assigned to each other, so that they will not be subject to each other, and the country will be divided into enemies, and it will not be able to compete with China. It is still necessary to set up a capital guard in the Dingxiang area for its festival. This is the long-term strategy of Anbian.” Wei Wei said: "Otherwise, the Rong and Di people have a beast's heart. If they are weak, they will submit, and if they are strong, they will rebel. If they stay in China, after a few years, the number of Tibetans will multiply. It must be a heart disease. In the Western Jin Dynasty, the Hu and Ming, Living together in China, Guo Qin and Jiang Tong persuaded Emperor Wu to expel the outside of the Great Wall in order to eliminate the chaos. Emperor Wu refused, and in the next twenty years, Yiluo became a land of mutton. It is also a good lesson from the previous events. Send him back to his homeland."

Before he finished speaking, Zhongshu ordered Wen Yanbo to come out and say: "No, the king has overwhelmed all things, and there is nothing left behind. Today, the Turkic people come back poor, so how can they abandon them and not accept them?

Confucius said, "There is no distinction in teaching." If you save them from death and teach them life, after a few years, they will all become my people, choose their chiefs, and make them into the guards. They will fear my power and cherish my virtue. Are there any future troubles?May Your Majesty explain it in detail. The emperor said: "What you see is very good, and it is exactly what I want."

"So Yanbo's strategy was used to deal with the Turks. Therefore, from Youzhou in the east and Lingzhou in the west, the old land of Tuli was divided into four states, and the land of Jieli was divided into six states. Dingxiang was placed on the left, and Yunzhong Er was placed on the right. The governor's mansion to lead the crowd. Feng Tuli was the governor of Shunzhou, Jieli was the general of the right guard, Sunishi was also named the king of the county, and the rest of the chiefs were all worshiped as the general Zhonglang, and they were appointed to the court, with more than a hundred of the fifth rank and above There are tens of thousands of people who live in Chang'an. There is a poem in Liquan: Li Jingxing was a teacher of the Turks, and his clever calculations were really good.

It is necessary to wipe out all kinds of leftovers, and make the barbarians know how handsome they are.

At that time, when the emperor heard about the capture of Jieli, he sighed and said: "In the past, the emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was trapped in Baideng and could not take revenge. Now I can destroy the Turks with my hands. I have entrusted the people, so why worry about it?" More than ten people and the princesses held a banquet to celebrate.When the wine was in full swing, the emperor personally played the pipa for pleasure, so he called Jieli into the palace, and the emperor said: "Ru Rongdi, do you also enjoy this kind of music?

Jieli said: "This is what my Hu people did, and it flows into China. Why is there no joy?" "The emperor was overjoyed, so he ordered Jieli to dance and Feng Zhidai to sing poems. Then he smiled and said: "The Huyue family has never existed in ancient times. "The Emperor took the Jade Jue to drink and gave it to him. The two thanked each other, and the ministers came together to celebrate their birthdays. The emperor himself held the cup and said: "Now the four barbarians have entered the court, and all of them are taught by your majesty, which is beyond the ability of the minister's intelligence. "It's the end of the day. Song Xian read the history so far, and gave a poem to Hu Yue's family: When the Khan Po danced and danced, the chief of the Nanman chanted a new poem.

Cheng Yuekai's family Hu Yue, it's not surprising that his love is not as Confucian.

At that time, the emperor believed that the peace of the world depended on the strength of the generals, so he held a banquet in the first ten days of the first lunar month, and gathered all the officials and barbarian chiefs at Xuanwu Gate.The emperor's head is inlaid with a gold helmet, wearing a yellow ocher robe, jade belt and pearl shoes, and sits on a high ground.The ministers stood on the left and right in turn.The music is played, the water and land are finished, the civil servants and military generals take turns to hold the cups, and the cups are staggered.

The emperor was overjoyed, and ordered 28 people to wear silver armor, dance with halberds, and sing the song of peace.

The music is bright and elegant, and it is known as the dance of the seven virtues.All the ministers listened attentively and secretly applauded.Taichangqing Xiao Yujin said: "The ancients were happy to resemble virtue. Your majesty's merits and virtues are prosperous, and your governance and teaching are clear. Since ancient times, there has been no one who can surpass your majesty. The dance of the seven virtues is not exhaustive. Taking advantage of the gathering of the Huayi generals and scholars here, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Rengao, Dou Jiande, and Wang Minchong can be captured here, and they can write down their actions one by one, and let the generals see and hear, so as to show the prosperity of your majesty's merits and virtues." The emperor said: " Your words are absurd! In the past, I captured and killed several people, and they were all heroes of the time, shining in the world; moreover, the ministers in the court also tried to do things from the north. Can there be no sorrow?
" Yu thanked and said: "Your Majesty's generosity and great virtue are beyond the reach of ministers. "

At that time, Wei Zheng was by his side, bowing his head alone and ignoring him.The emperor looked at it with his eyes and asked, "It's a rare meeting today to celebrate the merits of the emperor and his ministers. Why isn't Xuancheng happy?" Zheng said: "The minister's body is so small that it can't hold a cup, so I don't have time to watch and dance with my ears. "Di silent.Fang Xuanling said: "Xuancheng's civil servants don't enjoy martial arts, and now they sit down to achieve peace and suppress martial arts to cultivate literature. This is done on purpose.

However, this fruit is not enough for music, but it can be played as a dance of nine skills, which is the atmosphere of peace. "

The emperor followed him, and ordered 64 boys to form eight rows, each wearing a virtuous crown, purple trousers with red pleated long sleeves, and lacquer core shoes. They walked slowly and danced in the palace.Music sounds are played repeatedly, singing and singing, every movement and movement, all follow the etiquette.The emperor said: "How do you look at this and ignore the other?" Zheng said: "The joy of the modern world is only heard of Shaowu, and I have never heard of the seven virtues. Today, those who have nine skills use the image of Wende. In this civilized world, It is advisable to play it, and follow the rule of Yao and Shun." Emperor Gu said to the left and right: "It's too much, Xuancheng is straight. With such a straight minister, why worry about the world's not being governed!" In the past few years, the world has enjoyed peace, and all people have looked up to virtue.

However, in the first ten days of April of the ninth year of Zhenguan, the emperor was discussing political affairs with his ministers in the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace. Suddenly, a report came from the inside: "The emperor came to the night and occasionally contracted a disease. He is very critical. He cannot eat or drink. It is advisable to call the imperial physician for treatment." The emperor was shocked when he heard that, and rushed into the bedroom to see him.The emperor said: "I am seriously ill today, and it may not be long." The emperor said: "Why did the father say this? My son will do his best, and I hope the father will live forever." The emperor said: "This year, the gate of Chang'an collapsed for no reason. It is an ominous omen, and I know that death is inevitable. However, the affairs of the country are as important as Mount Tai. If you get the right way, you will be the honor of ten thousand chariots; Plan." After saying that, he let out a long sigh, and burst into tears like rain.He was 66 years old, in April of the ninth year of Zhenguan.Historians commented: At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the heroes rose together, while Zheng and Xia ruled the state, and they were invincible.Lai Taizong's planning, scolding the universe, applying the magic of merchants, this is Henkel's ingenious strategy, the official accepts talents, because of his tools, he is hypocritical and good, and he does not think about old evils. Slightly optimal also.It can be said that it is a talent for life, and it is beyond the reach of future generations.

Mr. Fan Juxuan, Song Xian, wrote a poem praising: Tang Gaozu is so majestic, sweeping away the smoke of the world.

All behaviors are wise, and good use of virtuous people.

It drove tens of thousands of people, and there were twelve articles of agreement.

Heroes rise at the same time, that one and Li Yuan.

After the emperor died, all the officials were mourned, and the coffin was buried in a gold coffin and a silver coffin, and the coffin stopped in the White Tiger Hall.The emperor mourned and wept bitterly, and all the officials mourned loudly.Suddenly a man stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please rest in mourning. All officials are temporarily suspended. Why don't you discuss major issues?" It was Tai Shiling Fu Yi who was regarded by everyone.

At that time, it was said: "The emperor is driving, and the world is shaking. You should come out of the palace to see things, and use it to subdue all nations. Why cry evil?" Emperor Jing used it for the mourning of the people, and later generations will be called the Lord of Ming." The emperor said: "If it is true, it is impossible to escape the crime of unfilial piety." Yi said: "Your Majesty, all nations look up to you. You can't be without a king for a day, and you can allow the imperial edict to see things." , please follow the crowd."

The emperor hesitated, and the officials repeatedly asked to listen to the government, and the emperor agreed.The posthumous title of Emperor Gaozu Shenyao was buried in Xianling.The emperor discussed with his ministers the method of raising and lowering the mausoleum, and the secretary supervisor, Yu Shinan, went up and said: "It is not unfilial for a saint to bury his relatives lightly.
