Chapter 223 Turtle in the urn
[I promoted you to be the prefect, why did you fail and turn against me?

This was the first sentence Yan Gaoqing heard after being sent to Luoyang.

In An Lushan's view, Yan Gaoqing was originally just a household minister. The judges who were later promoted, Guang Lucheng, and Taichang Cheng, were all reported by An Lushan himself.

In An Lushan's conception, he should be Yan Gaoqing's "master", and Yan Gaoqing was his "disciple". Why did he rebel?

You are a shepherd Jie slave in Yingzhou. Why does the emperor owe you anything? Is it the opposite?This is Yan Gaoqing's answer.

Then he even cursed, "My family has been officials of the Tang Dynasty for generations, and we have been loyal and righteous. I wish I could kill you to serve as the emperor, but you actually said that I am rebel?"Ridiculous!

Knowing that there was nothing left to talk about, An Lushan hung Yan Gaoqing on the bridge and chopped up more than [-] family members including Yan Jiming, Yan Dan, and Yan Xu to death in front of Yan Gaoqing.

Yan Gaoqing was tortured and cursed endlessly, and his tongue was cut off by An Lushan. He was finally killed at the age of 65 while shouting vague curses. 】

The sound on the light screen gradually faded away, but in the background music, the voice of a group of teenagers chanting slowly began to sound, and the voice became louder and louder.

[The heaven and earth have righteous energy, which is mixed and endowed with manifolds... To people, it is called Haoran, and it is so abundant that it blocks the sky...]

Kong Ming was just moved to tears by the heroic death of Yan Gaoqing's family, and then his interest was aroused by this voice.

This opening tone is neutral and unadorned, but there seems to be a huge power contained in it.

This power made them listen involuntarily, for fear of missing a word.

[...When the time comes, we can see each other and draw pictures one by one.In Qi Taishi bamboo slips, in Jin Dynasty Dong Hu's pen. 】

Liu Bei felt a huge sense of stability in his heart:
This is his descendant Han'er!

This is indeed a descendant of Han'er!

Throughout the history of China, remember the awe-inspiring spirit of China!
What is called a historian?Cui Zhu killed his king!

What is called a historian?Zhao Dun killed his king!

I write down my history with pen, full of righteousness and vitality!
Liu Bei tapped his right hand gently and silently recited the word "good" in his heart.

[In Qin Zhang Liangzhui, in Han Su Wu Festival.For General Yan]

This group of frustrated people in Chengdu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty looked at each other, and then smiled in unison.

As expected, the younger generation still remembers Su Wu, who was not very good at painting. This is enough.

Only by being unyielding in strength, not confused by wealth and rank, and willing to die rather than surrender can one be a Han.

However, Zhang Fei searched his mind and couldn't find a general Yan who matched his number.

It can't be Yan Yan who is currently stationed in Hanzhong and goes out on patrol all day long, right?
Hahaha, how is it possible.

Zhang Fei couldn't accept this possibility from the bottom of his heart.

[For Ji Shizhong's blood, for Zhang Suiyang's teeth, and for Yan Changshan's tongue. 】

Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his hands, listening to the parallel prose in trance.

Yan Gaoqing, the prefect of Changshan, Yan Changshan.

The mixed emotions before faded away one by one at this time, and all that remained was the memory of this minister.

The ugly An Lushan, the panicked Li Longji, the officials vying for power, etc. all faded away.

Li Shimin remembered a poem he had read before and liked very much, and read it softly:

"Er Cao's body and name will be destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be abandoned."

But I was a little confused. Looking at the order, could this Zhang Suiyang be from the Tang Dynasty?
……

Chengdu government official Kong Ming was listening and copying.

I am feeling grateful for the hermit Guan Ningneng who just copied and gave lectures in peace.

Then I heard myself appearing in it, and before my head turned around, I had already finished writing on my hand.

"Perhaps to set a good example, the ghosts and gods will weep heroically!"

Zhang Fei was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he repeated it loudly.

Feeling the gazes of others gathering, Kong Ming remained expressionless.

Forget it, I'll write out the teacher list later and include you all.

Well, General Yide can be excepted.

As he continued to copy, Kong Ming became a little doubtful. Is this writing history?
But soon I saw the literary talent of this later generation.

[This is the majestic Qi that will last forever.When it penetrates the sun and moon, life and death will be settled.

The earth depends on it to stand, and the sky pillar depends on it.The three cardinal principles are actually life-related, and morality is the root. 】

"Okay!" Wei Zheng cheered softly in the silent Manna Hall.

This parallel essay is like a person eloquently talking about what Haoran righteousness is, and with the examples given, everyone has a vague feeling in their hearts.

After these few sentences were recited, everyone seemed to be able to see and feel the righteousness of Haoran.

It is not so unattainable or unattainable, but it is the simplest foundation of being a human being and the foundation of life.

"There are so many people whose literary talent has been passed down to generations!" Du Ruhui couldn't help but admire softly.

But soon, after listening to the words "The tripod wok is as sweet as sugar", "The underworld is a ghost fire" and so on, a look of regret appeared on Li Shimin's eyebrows:

"Sure enough, it is true that times are poor, and there will be literary dukes in future generations!"

"I don't know what dynasty such a great man comes from?"

No one knew, but Hou Junji and others were already standing behind Fang and Du, stretching their necks to look.

But they didn’t dare to crowd because His Majesty had been standing here for a long time...

Soon, as Fang Xuanling's last sentence, "The wind eaves spread the books and read, the ancient roads shine with color" fell, Li Shimin couldn't wait to grab a copy.Then he made a quick decision:

"This article should be sent to the Imperial College and circulated throughout the world!"

Zhang Song from Chengdu also made suggestions.

"This article should be sent to Xiao Taixue so that Han'er can read it."

However, Liu Bei from the Chengdu Government Office and Wei Zheng from the Ganlu Palace raised the same question:
"There are some allusions in it, but I don't understand their meaning. How can I do it?"

So soon both Chengdu Government Office and Ganlu Palace made the same decision:
Just look at the history books and make changes based on your needs.

The brilliance of this official document is astonishing, but for all of us in the same palace, it is not necessarily bad.

The name of this article comes from Light Curtain...

[Wen Tianxiang and Wen Shanggong’s "Song of Righteousness" makes me cry every time I read it.

When the Southern Song Dynasty perished, he felt the chastity and bloody spirit of these twelve sages, composed righteous songs to strengthen himself, and finally died calmly.

The allusions of Yan Changshan's tongue and Zhang Suiyang's teeth both come from the Anshi Rebellion, and they are only one year apart. 】

〖Wenshan Gong, a great sage, has an extremely simple righteousness song. Just twelve allusions have filled the backbone of our nation.

From this we can also get a glimpse of why the Song Dynasty died. None of the twelve allusions is from the Song Dynasty itself.

A strong man has integrity, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty has a bloody spirit, but the scholar-bureaucrats in the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties can have both, but they can only have two palms.

Zhao Kuangyin: The Song Dynasty is the Song Dynasty. How to divide the Song Dynasty into two?To whom did Jingkang surrender?Why did the Southern Song Dynasty die? 〗

Looking at the words crossed on the light screen, Li Shimin said to himself: "So this is called the Song of Righteousness..."

Then he saw Zhao Kuangyin, who seemed to be the emperor, asking questions again and again.

Seeing that Kong Ming seemed to have no time to answer, Li Shimin started to think about it, walked to the light curtain with his pen, and wrote continuously:

〖In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was the Zhenzong, who formed a marriage alliance under the city, and the Song and Liao Dynasties became brothers. They lost annual coins every year, made treaties with hundreds of officials and praised them, and they were granted Zen and praised by Mount Tai. 〗

Or because he read Wen Shanggong's works, Li Shimin felt that what he wrote was also distorted... Oh no, it was biased.

But after thinking about the way Emperor Song saw these words, Li Shimin felt that his mood actually felt a little better.

But this Suiyang tooth... Li Shimin always felt that it might be another Tang Dynasty minister weeping blood.

On the other side, Fang Xuanling was still feeling pity:

"The Han Dynasty has integrity, the Tang Dynasty has blood, but the Song Dynasty has technology. If we can have both..."

Du Ruhui is quite confident:

"Song can't do both, then let me, Tang!"

[Yan Gaoqing's life ended under An Lushan's butcher's knife, and Yan Zhenqing still had to fight hard for the people of Hebei.

The record in the history books here is that "Seventeen counties returned on the same day, and Zhen Qing was elected as the leader of the alliance. With 20 soldiers, they defeated Yan and Zhao."

Half of Hebei was recovered overnight. However, the 20 soldiers were naturally a false report from the seventeen counties, but these were enough.

The imperial court was quite generous at this time, fearing that Yan Zhenqing's reputation would be unfair, so he was first promoted to Minister of Household Affairs, and then asked to recruit an interview envoy from Hebei Province.

Leader Yan was also unambiguous and ordered his soldiers to go straight to Wei County. With a small number of troops, he used elite troops to defeat the Wei County rebels and regain Wei County.

Reports of the battle spread throughout the country, and the morale of the Tang Dynasty was greatly boosted.

Why is Wei County so important?Because this place is surrounded by mountains to the west and the Yellow River to the east, Anlu Mountain is where to cross the river when going south, which is a relatively important strategic support point.

An Lushan kept [-] rebels here because the terrain was tight and he was afraid of being stolen. However, he did not expect that the rebel general Yuan Zhitai, who had high hopes for him, was defeated by the leader of the Yan League.

At this time, the person serving as the dog-headed military advisor for Alliance Leader Yan was Li E, the prefect of Qinghe.

The gossip Li E got was that Cheng Qianli, a fierce general from Hedong, was marching to Hebei with an army of [-], but was blocked in the Taihang Mountains.

As long as leader Yan can capture Wei County and cut off the rebel reinforcements, Cheng Qianli and his men can reach Hebei.

In this way, you can directly destroy the rebels' lair. When you look back to make dumplings, the rebels will inevitably collapse.

But what Yan Zhenqing didn't expect was that when he defeated Wei Jun, what came out of the Taihang Mountains was not Cheng Qianli's troops, but a pair of famous generals from the Tang Dynasty:
Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi.

At this time, Yan Zhenqing didn't know much about this. Leader Yan made a basic judgment on the situation in the Tang Dynasty when he was stationed in Wei County.

The rebels in Luoyang now have only three ways to go:

Either go north and return to Hebei, but Wei County is the first line of defense, and the two generals Guo and Li who came from Hedong are quite organized in fighting. Are the rebels coming here?Seeking death.

Either go south to grab money, but the terrain in the south is very hilly, and the rebels can't move at all. And I heard that Yongqiu has an iron-blooded guard named Zhang Xun, who is blocking the rebels from going south.

Either go west and attack Tongguan, but Tongguan is surrounded by natural dangers and is guarded by the famous general Ge Shuhan leading an army. How can the rebels defeat it?

Therefore, Yan Zhenqing believes that the rebels at this time are already turtles in the urn, waiting to be fried, roasted and stewed.

At this time, An Lushan had also fallen into despair and even began to scold his subordinates:
You encouraged me to rebel many years ago, saying that you had a perfect plan.

As a result, we are now guarding Tongguan, unable to enter for several months, and the way back north has been cut off.

Tang armies from all directions have begun to encircle them. Where is the surefire strategy you mentioned?

The rebel generals were naturally helpless, but Tang Xuanzong, who was sitting in Chang'an City, seemed to have something to say:
Lu'er, don't panic, let's see your adoptive father help you! 】

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look back at His Majesty, and saw Li Shimin standing with his hands behind his back with a calm expression.

There were only four words written on his face: As expected.

 To be honest, Yan Gaoqing's detailed information makes me feel a little depressed. It's so miserable.
