Unofficial History of the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 99

Guo Ziyi is powerful in the world, but he said that since the defeat of Tubo, Guo Ziyi has been training soldiers day and night, taking the army as his business, sleeps all night long, and becomes sick from fatigue.Suddenly it was reported that the emissary of the foreign barbarians had arrived, and Ziyi called people to ask him, saying: "Huihe lost the alliance, and the troops came in three ways. The border customs reported urgently, and no one could be the enemy." Ziyi sighed, and suddenly fainted to the ground. , vomiting blood.The generals gave first aid and woke up after a long time.Ziyi said: "My heart is in a state of confusion, and a sudden onset of a moderate illness means that my lifespan will not be far away." The generals said, "Why did the Marshal say that?" It is secluded, and the auxiliary Lie Yao has changed its color, and my life is only at the end of the day." The generals wanted to ask about the future, but Ziyi didn't answer, and looked closer and saw that he was dead.There are five in eighty years.Viewing this, some historians commented: "At the end of Tianbao, the tomb was stolen, external resistance and internal strife."Ziyi raised her lone army from Shuofang and moved to the north, vowing not to pay back.At that time, the emperor went west, and Tang Zuoruo was in a position to assist the prince to rebuild the royal family.And the difficulty is slightly flat, and he is always slandered and robbed of military power.However, if you hear the order in the morning and flee in the evening, you have no doubts about yourself.And besieged in Jingyang, riding alone to see the captives, suppressing them with sincerity.Suspicion and obstruction, even though Tang ordered Fang Yong, he was loyal to the sun and the moon, and the gods supported him.And Guangbi and others are afraid that the blessing will not end, but Ziyi Wan is famous and high-spirited, and Zhuran is alone, and his blessings will last forever, although Qi Huan and Jin Wen compare them to one another.Pei Jun said that the power of the world is not jealous, the merits of the world are not doubted, and those who waste the desires of the poor and talk about them are not demoted.Alas!Yicheng knows that most of his descendants are famous for their achievements, which is due to Shengde.Ziyi tasted the order to send an envoy to Tian Chengsi's place, Chengsi looked west and worshiped and said: "This knee has not been bowed to others for a long time. Today is a public worship." There are 3000 family members, eight sons and seven sons-in-law, all of whom are prominent officials of the court. Dozens of grandsons can't tell the truth every time they ask, they just nod.Although you are a prince, you have to be a servant, and you are stepping forward, and your family also treats you as a servant.The world regards him as a safe and dangerous person for almost 20 years, and his achievements cover the world, but the master is not doubted, he is an extremely human minister, and the people are not sick.Extravagance is extremely lustful, but people are not wrong.At that time, Lu, the blue-faced ghost, could tell the Qi with his mouth, and he was very pleased with it.Whenever Ziyi sees guests, concubine Ji never leaves her side.Qi Chang went to ask about illnesses, Ziyi learned about her concubine, and waited for her alone.Or asked why, Ziyi said: "The appearance is ugly and the heart is dangerous. Women will laugh when they see it for generations. In the future, my family will be full of ambitions." This is what he has the foresight.The historian has another poem praising the saying: "Initiate teachers to defeat bandits and report to the ancestors, and the Tang family is only wise and long."

Since the Yi people were frightened, they taught Huihe and Tubo to die.

When the emperor heard the obituary, he mourned greatly and said: "It is the merit of Ziyi who is fortunate enough to return to Chang'an in Shanzhou." So he issued an imperial edict to posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumously posthumous Ziyi as the King of Zhongwu in Fenyang. In the east, the temple is set up for sacrifices at four o'clock.But it is said that Di Ye saw dozens of ghosts coming to make trouble in the palace, so he got sick.Choose Lu Zhi as the servant of Zhongshu and Cui Hufu as the servant of the sect, that is, take charge of all affairs.The emperor's illness worsened, and he urgently called Pingzhang Shi Yang Yan into the palace to see the emperor.The emperor said: "I heard that the sage said: You can entrust a six-foot orphan who can send a hundred miles of life, and you can't do it without a husband. My prince Li Shi is young and can't bear the heavy responsibility of the society. Fortunately, there is Lu Qi, the servant of Zhongshu. May you two imitate Yi Yin and Zhou Gong, and help my son together, and the ancestral temple is lucky!" After speaking, he called the crown prince to come forward, and asked Yang Yan to hug him.Yannai burst into tears, and everyone was sad.The emperor pointed at the prince, but he couldn't speak.It collapsed in an instant.At the end of May in the 14th year of the Dali calendar, he lived to be 53 years old.He has been on the throne for 17 years.The historian commented: Daizong was deep and sensitive, and he acted according to his heart.Repelling superficiality, mobilizing the masses, calming chaos and defending the city, is enough to be the master of Chinese materials.However, in Luliang, a feudal town, the mausoleum was replaced by the upper mausoleum and the lower mausoleum, forming a chaotic order. The Tang Dynasty's discipline was so bad that it could not be revived, so it was eliminated and replaced.Daizong collapsed in the Qianyuan Palace, and Yang Yan and Lu Qi assisted the government. Immediately, the prince heir ascended the throne, titled Dezong, changed to the first year of Jianzhong, and amnesty the world.The Daizong was buried in Yuanling.At this time, the imperial court Yang and Lu used affairs, and all the towns in the world were strong and prosperous, and each of them assumed the title of king.Jiedu made Zhu Tao the king of Ji, Tian Yue the king of Wei, Wang Wujun the king of Zhao, and Li Na the king of Qi.It is still the name of the Tang Dynasty, just like the princes of the past enshrined Zhou Zhengshuo, if it is not as promised, all the people will attack it together.Tao is the leader of the alliance and is called "Gu", and Wu Jun, Yue and Na are all called "widows".The hall where they live is called "Dian", and the punishment is called "Lingqunxia." The letter is called "Diao", the wife is called "Concubine", and the eldest son is called "Shizi".In addition, Cao Shi of the East and West was placed under Zhongshu Province, and the left and right internal historians were regarded as servants and orders of Zhongshu. The rest of the officials were all imitated by Datang, but their names were changed.At that time, Lu Qi was in charge of state affairs, and ordered Li Xilie, the military governor, to return to Chang'an as his confidant.Xilie Tongyongsu wrote, when he heard Qi Zhao, he suspected that he wanted to harm himself, so he led his headquarters to rebel.How is it unknown after all?General comment: Ziyi's virtue and talent can be combined with the general, but he is idle; when there is an emergency, he is suddenly appointed;Loyalty and sincerity, looking up to the sun and the moon, true ministers and teachers.
