Transmigrate to be an Ancient Saint - C321 Great tang dynasty(part ii)
Inside the Primal Chaos Palace, looking at Cheng Yaojin’s appearance, Yuchi Jingde suddenly snorted coldly and said, “Since you don’t have any thoughts, then be a bit more obedient. “You’re already this old, and yet you’re still acting like this? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by others?”
Looking at Yuchi Jingde’s calm and mature, calm and confident face, Cheng Yaojin did not mind.
He loudly said, “That’s what I did. What can you do to me?”
“You …” Seeing Cheng Yaojin’s beastly look, Yuchi Jingde was also speechless.
Li Shimin laughed bitterly at the side, and helplessly advised the two of them to stop bickering.
After all, whether it was Cheng Yaojin or Yuchi Gong, they were both his trusted ministers.
He still remembered that year, in view of how many generals there were in the Qin Wang Palace, Li Jianchi and Li Yuanji thought that they had used them to bribe the generals.
As Yuchi Jingde was one of the generals under his command, they decided to make a move on Yuchi Jingde. They secretly sent a message to him and said, “If you want to make us father and brother to look after you, we can be close and sincere friends. I hope you can agree to our request.”
Then he gave him a cart full of gold and silver items.
Yuchi Jingde said, “My birth is low, and I encountered the fall of the Sui Dynasty. The world was torn apart, and I had nowhere to hide. In the end, Qin Wang gave me my life and even now, I am still serving in the Qin Wang Palace, so I can only use my life to repay his kindness. I have nothing to do with you, and I dare not be wrongly rewarded. If you promise to serve you personally, you are betraying him. What are you going to do with a man who forgets his loyalty for his own sake? ”
However, this made Li Jiancheng very angry and after that, they ended their relationship.
Yuchi Jingde quickly reported this matter. Li Shimin immediately said, “Your pure thoughts are above the mountains. Even if you were to pile up a pile of gold, I know that you wouldn’t change your attitude. You take what he sends, and don’t worry about it. No, I’m afraid you’re not safe. Furthermore, understanding their schemes can also help us to come up with a good countermeasure. ”
However, Li Yuanji and the others still hated Yuchi Jingde very much, so they sent assassins to assassinate him.
However, despite knowing of their scheme, Yuchi Jingde still chose to sleep as if nothing had happened. Many times, the assassin had already entered his living quarters and did not dare to enter his bedroom.
Helpless, Li Yuanji framed Yuchi Jingde in front of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan ordered the prisoners to interrogate him and prepare to kill him. If Li Shimin had not strongly advised him and released him, he would have become the sacrifice in the political battle between him and his brother.
However, Li Shimin knew that although Yuchi Jingde was loyal, he did not have a good temper.
In fact, throughout history, due to Yuchi Jingde’s straightforward nature, he had always been proud and proud of his achievements. When he saw Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji and the others, he would often ridicule them and discuss their strengths and weaknesses.
After that, Yuchi Jingde left the capital to become a local magistrate.
Three years of chastity (629), Yuchi Jingde served as governor of Xiangzhou (now Hubei Xiangyang).
In these five years, due to Yuchi Jingde (631 years), Yuanzhi, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were given the title of Elemental Merit, and each child was bestowed the title of Prefecture Duke.
Six years of chastity (in 632, two books of Tang were recorded as eight years of chastity, but according to the records of the book No. 194, Yuchi Jingde had been recorded as a cicada (now Da Lai County, Shaanxi Province) for six years of chastity, and thus the time of the cicada was set as six years of chastity) and the history of the cicada was transferred.
On the 29th of September, the sixth year of the Chastity Monastery (632), Li Shimin set up a banquet. At the banquet, when Yuchi Jingde saw that someone was seated above him, he flew into a rage. “What contribution do you have that makes you worthy to sit at my seat of honor?”
The King of Ren, Li Daoyi, sat at his lower seat and explained the situation to him. Yuchi Jingde was furious. He had beaten Li Daoyi, but Li Daoyi had been caught off guard. One of his eyes was almost blinded.
When this matter reached Li Shimin, he was extremely unhappy.
Helpless, he advised Yuchi Jingde, “When I read the Han Dynasty, I found out that the meritorious officials of Master Henggao were able to save me very little, and I often blamed him in my heart. After ascending the throne, he had always wanted to protect the meritorious officials and ensure the safety of his descendants. But after you became a high-ranking official, you kept on breaking the nation’s law, only then did you realize that it wasn’t Henggao’s fault that Han Xin and Peng Yue had been killed. The important thing in governing a country is only reward and punishment. We cannot give too much of an extra favor. We must strictly demand of ourselves, and not do anything regretful. ”
After hearing these sincere and earnest words, Yuchi Jingde hurriedly kowtowed to apologize. From then on, he restrained himself.
Of course, none of this had happened yet in this world. The conflict between Yuchi Gong and the others had yet to escalate to such an extent. At this moment, only a few of them had guessed what the future might hold.
But just when everyone was looking puzzled, Fang Xuanling suddenly said: “Your Majesty, to understand what Xiao Wen and the Han Emperor mean, the first thing you have to do is to find out what the use of crossbow is. Therefore, this subject needs His Majesty to gather the craftsmen, and study whether these crossbow can be produced in the Great Tang Dynasty. ”
“Oh?” Li Shimin’s eyes lit up.
Last night, his instincts told him that if this crossbow could be copied in the Great Tang Dynasty, it would be the decisive factor in deciding what the Human Emperor and Xiao Wen wanted to convey to him.
However, it was just a flash of intuition on his part, so he could not pursue the matter.
But now, Fang Xuanling could vaguely guess the meaning that Xiao Wen wanted to express, it truly made Li Shimin overjoyed.
Fang Xuanling was born in a family of eunuchs. His great-grandfather, Fang Yi, was a General Wei Zhenyuan, and County Governor Song An.
Father Fang Yanqian, studious, the “Five Classics”, rich in eloquence, Wei, Qi Shan scholars.
Fang Xuzhen had been living with her father ever since she was a child. Wise since childhood, good poetry, able to write, rich in history, proficient in Confucian classics, and father learned a good hand of calligraphy, kung fu. At the age of eighteen, the state raised an officer, one after the other, a knight and a lieutenant-general.
It could be said that in terms of education, Fang Xuanling was probably the most cultured person here.
Historically, in the last year of the Sui Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, Jin Yang had stayed behind to guard Li Yuan and lead his troops to pass the trials. Fang Xuanling had voted for Li Shimin in Weibei and repeatedly left the Qin Wang.
In order to repay Li Shimin’s kindness of knowing what was happening, Fang Xuanling put in all his effort into planning for the military and political affairs. For every attack that destroyed a region, every person in the army would use all their might to search for treasures and foreign objects. Only Fang Xuanling would first gather all the talented people, and then place the scheming and the courageous and warlike people into his court. They would privately become friends with them, and serve Li Shimin together.
After defeating Wang Shi Chong, Fang Xuanling thought that Zhang Liang was “wise” and recommended him to Li Shimin as the general of the Qin Wang.
Others such as the nimble and talented Xue Cai, the “Wang Ling, Zhou Bo, and festivals” Li Da Liang, the “Wise and knowledgeable Wang Zuo”, and the “,” were all recommended by Fang Xuanling before being highly valued by him.
Wu De Nine years (626), Participating in the change of the Xuanwu Sect, first in terms of cultivation with Du Ruhui and the other four.
After Li Shimin ascended to the throne, Fang Xuanling took charge of the imperial court’s political affairs. Previous positions of the Minister of the Kingdom of Liangliang include Zuo Liu, Sikong, and so on, and they are all official officials of the Kingdom of Liangliang. In the 22nd year of the Chastity Monastery (648), Fang Xuanling passed away from illness and returned the title of Grand Commandant with the title “Wen Zhao”. After that, he would be entitled to the Imperial Court of Taizong Temple.
It could be said that Li Shimin had already bestowed an extremely great amount of honor to him.
Fang Xuanling was good at scheming, but Du Ruhui was decisive in her actions.
The future generations would use him and Du Ruhui as role models, and collectively call them “Fang, Du”. New Tang Book, the original issue of its evaluation is: “Xuan age, strong night, free public integrity, do not want to lose everything. There is no taboo, good people, if you own it. Ming Dynasty government, and decorations for the elegant, legal order, for peace. He who looks down upon others does not ask for anything, though he is vile enough to do his best. “Or if you give up something, you will find yourself guilty of a crime, being wary and acting as if you have no tolerance.”
“If it’s the room, perhaps I can figure out the reason behind it.” Li Shimin thought about it expectantly, and told Fang Xuanling about how he called for a master craftsman last night.
