Li Yuan has four sons. The second son, Li Shimin, is only 18 years old. He is a brave young man and usually likes to make friends with talented people. People also think that he is generous and hospitable and likes to deal with him. Seeing that the rule of the Sui Dynasty would not last long, he had his own plan in mind.
Liu Wenjing, the magistrate of Jinyang County, attached great importance to Li Shimin. Li Shimin also regarded him as a confidant. Liu Wenjing is related to Shi Biao. After Li Mi joined the rebels, Yang Di ordered the arrest of Li Mi's relatives and friends. Liu Wenjing was collectively punished, dismissed from his post and put in Jinyang prison.
When Li Shimin heard that Liu Wenjing was in prison, he was very anxious and hurried to the prison to visit him.
Li Shimin took Liu Wenjing's hand and said, "Brother Liu, I'm not only here to talk about friendship, but more importantly, I want you to give me an idea."
Liu Wenjing knows Li Shimin's mind. He said: "Now the emperor is far away in Jiangdu, and Shimi is in the near east. Rebels are everywhere. This is a good time to conquer the world. I can help you raise 100 thousand people, and your father has tens of thousands. Use this power to mobilize your army, enter Chang' an and rule the world, and you will win the world within half a year.'
Li Shimin said happily, "You really spoke to my heart."
At home, Li Shimin remembered Liu Wenjing's words, which made more sense. But persuading his father is a difficult problem. At this time, the Turk Khan in northern Taiyuan attacked Mayi. Tang Gaozu sent troops to resist and defeat the battle. He was worried that Emperor Yang Di would find out about it and he should take the responsibility, so he didn't know what to do.
Li Shimin took the opportunity to ask Tang Gaozu to persuade him to attack Sui. Hearing this, Li Yuan was scared to death and said, "How can you say such a thing? If I go to the police, I will arrest you. "
Li Shimin is not afraid. He said, "If your father wants to sue, tell him. Your son is not afraid of death. "
Of course, Tang Gaozu won't really report it, just tell him not to say such things again.
The next day, Li Shimin asked Li Yuan again: "My father came to crusade against the rebels on the orders of the emperor. But seeing more and more people rebel, can we crusade? Besides, the emperor is suspicious. Even if you make a great contribution, your situation will be even more dangerous. Only by doing what I said yesterday is the only way out. "
Tang Gaozu hesitated several times, then sighed and said, "Last night, I thought what you said was very reasonable. I can't make up my mind. From now on, will you break up this family or turn this family into a country! "
Tang Gaozu kicked Liu Wenjing out of Jinyang prison. Liu Wenjing alone helped Li Shimin recruit new soldiers. Send two sons, Li and Li Yuanji, to fight in Hedong.
Two deputy left-behind people in Taiyuan saw the abnormal behavior of Li Yuan and his son and tried to stop it. Tang Gaozu arrested and killed the Turks on the pretext of collaborating with them.
After listening to the plan, Liu Wenjing sent someone to prepare a gift, made peace with Turk Khan, and asked him to attack Sui. Turkic Khan thought it was good for them, so he promised to help Tang Gaozu.
Tang Gaozu steadied the head of the Turks, and he formally opposed the Sui Dynasty. Claiming to be a general, he appointed Li, Li and Li as viceroy, and Liu Wenjing as Sima, who was called a "righteous man". Then he led thirty thousand soldiers out of Jinyang and headed for Chang 'an. Along the way, we constantly recruited talents, learned from the practices of peasant rebels, opened official warehouses, and delivered food to the poor. So it will recruit more and more people.
Tang Jun arrived in Huoyi and was stopped by Song Laosheng, the general of Sui Dynasty. The roads in Hoy area are narrow and catch up with the heavy rain for several days. The transportation of rations in Tang Jun was interrupted. Among the soldiers, Turkish soldiers were told to attack Jinyang. Tang Gaozu wavered. He wants to retreat back to Jinyang.
Li Shimin said to Li Yuan, "Now is the autumn harvest season. Even if there is a shortage of food, there is plenty of food in the field! Teacher Song has nothing to be afraid of. In the name of our volunteers, we call on the whole world. Wouldn't it be disappointing if we retreated before the battle? There is no way to return to Jinyang. "
Li also supports his brother's idea. Tang Gaozu changed his mind and cancelled the withdrawal plan.
One day in August, the rain just cleared up. Early in the morning, Tang Jun walked along the mountain road to the edge of Hoy City. Li sent dozens of cavalry into the city to challenge. Song Jian, a veteran of the Tang Dynasty, saw Serenade and personally took thirty thousand soldiers out of the city. Li Shimin came to kill the poets in Nanshan and killed them all. Song Laosheng quickly fled back to the city. Tang Gaozu's soldiers occupied the city and locked the gate tightly. Song Laosheng was cornered by Tang Jun and killed.
After Tang Jun captured Huoyi, with the cooperation of Guanzhong peasant army, he continued to move westward and crossed the Yellow River. Tang Gaozu's daughter stayed in Chang 'an and recruited more than 10,000 soldiers, the so-called "female soldiers", to respond to Tang Jun's entry.
Tang Gaozu concentrated more than 200,000 troops to attack Chang 'an. It is useless to resist Sui Jun in Chang 'an. After Tang Gaozu captured Chang 'an, in order to win the hearts of the people, he promulgated the 12 decree, abolished all the harsh laws of the Sui Dynasty, and temporarily established Emperor Youyang, the grandson of Yang Di.
The following summer, the news that the emperor was killed came from Jiang, and Li Yuancai was abolished as emperor and renamed Tang. This is Tang Gaozu.
Reading: [/s2/] Li Yuan and his son Yang went in and out. The fact is that "the first person to look for" is not Li Shimin.
Core Tip: The new research conclusion points out that Li Shimin was not as wise as SHEN WOO and SHEN WOO, who made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuan was not as miserable as recorded in the old history books. On the contrary, "Li Yuan is a very talented person, which can be seen from the Notes on Datang Entrepreneurship written by Taiyuan when he joined the army. Li Yuan was the highest decision-maker and commander-in-chief of Xuanwu Gate in Wude, Taiyuan from the 13th year to the 9th year of Sui Dynasty. After the change of Xuanwu Gate, the regime of Li Yuan was seized by Li Shimin. When Zhenguanchao edited Records of the Great Emperor, he said that the rise of Taiyuan was planned by Li Shimin, and the unification of the world was almost attributed to Li Shimin. Li Yuan was slandered as happy to see his success. "
In 6 17, the biggest event in the history of China was the Jinyang Uprising of Li Yuan and his son.
It cut through the sky like a brilliant lightning, and suddenly cut through the vast night of the Sui Empire; It is also like the shining dawn through thick clouds, which instantly illuminates the early morning of the Tang Dynasty.
This incident changed the color of heaven and earth, changed history, and involved many people, who later became famous founding heroes in the history of the Tang Dynasty. They are Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing, Sun Qiang Shunde, Liu Hongji, Tang Jian, Chai Shao, Yin Kaishan, Liu Zhenghui, Wen Daya and samurai.
These people are the most important backbone of Jinyang Uprising. It was with their promotion, planning and participation that the uprising was successful and the Tang Dynasty was finally born. Anyway, they are only supporting roles in this big event.
Jinyang arise, of course, absolutely belongs to Tang Gaozu and his son.
But the question is, among Tang Gaozu and his son, who was the first to form an army this time? Who is the real soul of this important event? Who is the pioneer of the three hundred-year foundation of Datang?
To this, all previous dynasties officials answered Li Shimin with one voice.
The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty compiled by Liu Wei at the end of Jin Dynasty said: "Emperor Taizong and Jinyang made Liu Wenjing the head of the persuasion group." The Book of the New Tang Dynasty compiled by Ouyang Xiu and others in the Northern Song Dynasty also asserted: "Taizong originated in Taiyuan, not the original intention of Emperor Gaozu." Sima Guang's Zi Tong Zhi Jian bluntly said: "This is a conspiracy of Li Shimin, king of Qin, to launch an army"; Emperor Gaozu won the world, all because of Emperor Taizong! '
However, is the historical truth really like this? Is Li Shimin really the first person in Jinyang?
Our answer is no.
First of all, according to Tang Shu and Zi Tongzhi Jian, let's take a look at the official records of Li Yuan on the eve of Jinyang Uprising.
After Li Shimin followed Li Yuan to Taiyuan, he soon made friends with a group of Jianghu righteous men. Call it "hiding behavior". Every corporal makes a living by pushing money, stealing heroes and refusing to work hard. "Everyone in the world is smart and brave. They know how to surpass others. " They saw the chaos in the room, and Yin had the ambition to defend the world. They rely on the people, disperse funds and get customers. They are salty. "
At this time, Shunde, Sun Qiang, Liu Hongji and Li Shimin formed a life-and-death friendship. Su Wei, Shunde's younger brother, was an official of the Sui Dynasty. He fled Taiyuan to Tang Gaozu to discuss with Li Shimin because of escaping from military service in Liaodong. These two men later played a key role in recruiting volunteers.
In addition, Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji also joined Li Shimin's "potential significance".
Liu Wenjing was Jinyang Mausoleum at that time, and Peiji was Jin Yanggong's army supervisor at that time. They became friends because of their professional relationship. They have witnessed the chaos of the world, but their future is uncertain, and they often sigh relatively. On one occasion, Pei Ji said, "Poverty is chaos. How can you survive? " At that time, Liu Wenjing did not participate in Li Shimin's plot, but secretly admired him, so he took the opportunity to lobby Pei Ji: "Li Shimin is an extraordinary person, with a heart like Emperor Gaozu and SHEN WOO like Wei Wudi. Although he is young, he is a talent! " The implication is that Pei Ji is attached to Li Shimin with him, but Pei Ji doesn't think so.
Soon, Liu Wenjing was detained in the county jail because of his in-laws with Shimi. Just when he was at a loss about his future, Li Shimin suddenly came to visit him in prison. Wen Jing was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to test Li Shimin, saying, "The world is in chaos. Without the talents of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu, it is impossible to pacify the world! "
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Teacher, how do you know? Just ordinary people don't know. The reason why I came to see you is not to pay attention to personal feelings like my children, but to plan great things with my husband. I wonder if my husband has any suggestions? "
Knowing that he was wrong about someone, Liu Wenjing expressed his thoughts: "Now, my Lord is going south to Jianghuai, and the army of Shimi is going east, and the world is full of thieves. In this case, it would be a piece of cake to take over the world if there really is a person with a destiny who should be in heaven. In order to avoid war, Taiyuan people have all entered Jinyang, and it has been very calm for several years. As we all know, heroes come forth in large numbers. Once put together, you can get 65438+ ten thousand people. And thousands of soldiers led by Zun CCBA. Who dares not to do so under orders? Then rule the world with virtual customs. In less than half a year, Diye succeeded! "
After listening to the clear voice, Li Shimin smiled: "Jun Yan is just what I want."
Since then, Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing began to actively deploy and prepare for the uprising.
What is Tang Gaozu doing this time?
According to official records: "If you don't know." On the other hand, Li Shimin was "afraid of disobedience, hesitated for a long time and dared not speak."
Is Tang Gaozu really stupid enough to know nothing about Li Shimin's plot?
We will discuss this problem later. Now in the official history, let's see how Li Shimin "persuaded" Tang Gaozu to improve the army by combining hard and soft, and how Tang Gaozu was indecisive and broke his word.
Because Pei Ji and Tang Gaozu had a good personal relationship, Li Shimin decided to break up with Pei Ji. He makes friends with Pei Ji every day, and at the same time takes out millions of private money for people to gamble with Pei Ji. Every time he loses in cheating, he makes Pei Ji happy. When the money was almost spent, Li Shimin naturally became friends with Pei Ji. Finally, Li Shimin told Pei Ji about his plot and asked him to find a way to persuade Li Yuan.
People have short mouths and short hands. At the moment, Pei Ji already knew how the money came from, so he nodded in agreement.
Li Shimin and Pei Ji soon came up with a plan. In the days that followed, Pei Ji went to Tang Gaozu to drink every day. After drinking, he sent some beautiful women by the way. For a few days, Tang Gaozu lived comfortably. A few days later, Pei Ji found an opportunity when no one was there, and said to Li Yuan unhurriedly, "Jiro secretly raised a military horse and wanted to raise a banner of righteousness for fear of getting into trouble." So I was asked to be my maid of honor in Jinyang, which was a desperate measure. Now that everyone has made up their minds, I wonder what will happen to the public? "
Hearing this, Tang Gaozu broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
It turns out that these days, all the beautiful women who proposed to him are Yang Guang's women,-,Jin Yanggong's maid!
It's Murder!
I didn't expect my son and old friends to make such a move and tie him up.
This move really hurts!
Li Yuan hesitated for a long time, and finally said helplessly, "My son had this idea and it's all over. What can I do for it? " Had to leave him. '
Although Tang Gaozu stepped on a "fake" foot, he was forced to do so, so he hesitated for a few days and then put it back.
Soon, something happened, which made him almost lose his mind and got him into trouble.
This is an invasion of Turkey.
From the end of December to the first month of the following year, the East Turkistan invaded Mayi many times, and Li Yuan sent Gao Junya, the deputy left-behind official, to meet with Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi, and sent troops to resist, resulting in a heavy defeat. Emperor Yang Guang of Jiangdu was very angry after hearing the news. On the grounds of "catching Lu from time to time, taking the vertical as the boundary disaster", he sent people to Taiyuan to detain Li Yuan on the spot and prepare to behead Wang Rengong.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Shimin finally said to Li Yuan, "Today, the Lord has no way, and the people are in trouble. Jinyang is the battlefield; Adults keep this part, there will be thieves, hell, no danger! It is best to be a soldier who conforms to public opinion, upholds justice and turns disasters into blessings. This day is also there. "
Tang Gaozu was surprised and said, "What do you say about such a big fallacy? I will report to you now. " Then find out the paper and pen and pretend to be leaving soon.
Li Shimin looked calm and said slowly: "People look up to heaven, so they dare to speak out; If you must report me, don't think about quitting! "
Li Yuan was so angry that he threw away his pen and said, "How can I have the heart to sue you? Be careful not to say such things again. "
Only the next morning, Li Shimin came again. Hearing this, Li Yuan said, "There are thieves in the world today. Adults are asked to look for thieves. Can a thief ask? After all, he has to bear the crime of being a poor prostitute. In addition, people all over the world spread that Mars pays attention to divination, so Li Jincai is innocent, but he ruined it once. To say the least, even if adults can wipe out all thieves, it will be even more dangerous if they don't reward their achievements since ancient times. Only yesterday can save this disaster. This is a perfect solution. I hope adults don't doubt it! "
Li sighed: "I was thinking about what you said last night, which is actually very reasonable." Today, whether it is the destruction of your family or the transformation of your country, everything depends on you. "
At this time, Tang Gaozu was really helpless and resigned!
A few days later, the angel of Yang Di came again, ready to take Li Yuan and Wang Rengong to Jiangdu to plead guilty. Tang Gaozu immediately panicked. Therefore, Li Shimin, Pei Ji and others said, "It is useless to be faithful today. Gong Ming is also responsible for some failures on the battlefield. The danger is imminent, so it is wise to plan ahead. In addition, Jin's influence in Mazhuang is also great, and he has accumulated a lot of wealth and cloth. With this trick, why not? The generation of kings who stay in Chang 'an today are all old, weak and sick. According to Chang 'an, if Gong Ming is beating drums and gongs in the west, it is like looking for something. Why do you want to imprison him and sit as an envoy of the court? "
At this point, Tang Gaozu finally made up his mind to start secret deployment. A few days later, the emissary of Jiangdu came again, announcing the pardon of Li Yuan and Wang Rengong and their reinstatement.
Forgive, Tang Gaozu immediately reneged and refused to mention righteousness.
In the following days, more and more people urged Tang Gaozu to revolt. Xu, Fu Sima Qian, Tang Xian, former Prince Zuo Xun, Tang Xian's younger brother Tang Jian, etc.
However, everyone has worn out their mouths, and what they should say over and over again is rotten. Tang Gaozu is still slow to move.
Liu Wenjing couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to put pressure on Pei Ji: "Fight first, then fight." Why not persuade the Tang Palace to go to war as soon as possible? How can you delay again and again? Besides, as a palace master, you also serve others as a maid in private. Why drag down the Tang Palace when you die alone? "
Pei was touched on a sore spot. Yes, if Tang Gaozu can't do something slowly, if the story of Jinyang maid-in-waiting gets out, he can't cut enough even if he has eight heads!
After that, Pei Ji had to chase after Li Yuan every day, and finally completely persuaded Li Yuan. Ethan asked Liu Wenjing to forge books. In the name of the imperial court, which was preparing to invade Korea, he ordered all the people in Taiyuan, Xihe, Yanmen and Ant counties to join the army, expand the army and prepare to arise.
This is the origin and inside story of Jinyang Uprising recorded in the official history of past dynasties. Here, Li Yuan is described as a mediocre, cowardly, ambitious and paranoid puppet. On the contrary, Li Shimin, who is less than 20 years old, is portrayed as a visionary, resourceful and determined leader, showing maturity and stability far beyond his age. Here, Li Shimin undoubtedly became the "first person" of Jinyang, while Tang Gaozu was kept in the dark at first, and was later forced to get involved in this matter. He was almost caught in this "fake ship" by means of "kidnapping" and did nothing from beginning to end.
Is this the truth of history?
No, the answer isno. In recent years, many Chinese and foreign scholars have re-studied relevant historical materials and found out the truth of Jinyang Uprising. Western, Japanese and foreign research results generally believe that "some important situations may have been fabricated by Emperor Taizong himself during his reign." According to the neglected historical materials of the early Tang Dynasty, historians can correct some prejudices and distortions in the quotations in the traditional History of the Founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Domestic scholars also believe that "the inside story of Jinyang Uprising was almost covered up because the official historical records were untrue. Outstanding praise for Li Shimin, while others are eclipsed, buried or distorted. At the same time, some fictional plots are stuffed into old history books, rendering Li Yuan wretched and incompetent to set off the advantages and disadvantages of Li Shimin. "
The new research conclusion points out that Li Shimin was not as wise as SHEN WOO and SHEN WOO in Jinyang development and early Tang Dynasty, and made great contributions, and Li Yuan was not as miserable as recorded in the old history books. On the contrary, "Li Yuan is a very talented person, which can be seen from the Notes on the Beginning and End of Datang Entrepreneurship written by Taiyuan when he joined the army. Li Yuan was the highest decision-maker and commander-in-chief of Xuanwu Gate in Wude, Taiyuan from the 13th year to the 9th year of Sui Dynasty. After the change of Xuanwu Gate, the regime of Li Yuan was seized by Li Shimin. When Zhenguan Dynasty edited the biography of Taizong, it described the rise of Taiyuan as planned by Li Shimin, and almost attributed the unification of the world to Li Shimin. Li Yuan was slandered as happy to see his success. "
Facts have proved that Li Shimin probably intervened in the compilation of A Record of Gaozu during the Zhenguan period, thus tampering with some important historical facts. Later, Twelve Lectures on Tang Shi were edited and published, but the two Tang books, including the later Historical Records, remained unchanged, which led to the rise of Jinyang and lost some truth of the founding history of the Tang Dynasty.
In the research of many scholars, an important historical material of the early Tang Dynasty is basically mentioned.
The author of this book, Wen Daya, is from Taiyuan. Historically, he was "not so keen on learning and was famous for his debating ability"; Bachelor of Eastern Palace in Sui Dynasty, chief of Chang 'an. Later, because of his father's worry, he quit his job and returned to Jinyang to live a leisurely life, watching the world be cold, but not seeking promotion. After Li Yuan arrived in Taiyuan, he became friends with him and admired his literary name. After Tang Gaozu joined the army, Wen Daya was appointed as the recording studio of the Army General Office, "specializing in Wen Han".
Obviously, the historical materials written by such a witness of Jinyang Uprising are far more authentic than the official revision of history after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, China called him "a witness to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty" in his Notes on Entrepreneurship in the Tang Dynasty.
What did this historical witness witness witness?
As I said before, in fact, I had the idea of building the army and establishing the emperor as early as nine years ago, and I was with ministers such as Yang and Yu. According to Wen Daya's records, when Tang Gaozu settled in Taiyuan as an appeaser in the 12th year of Daye, he "secretly rejoiced in this trip and thought it was a godsend opportunity."
In the 13th year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan was deposed and detained on the spot. In fact, at this time, I have made up my mind to start fighting. I didn't arise, just because Li and Li Yuanji were still in Hedong and had a boat. According to the Old Tang Biography, it was not Li Shimin who advised Li Yuan at that time, but Li Yuan took the initiative to say to Li Shimin, "The Sui Dynasty is almost over. My family obeys orders and doesn't get up early, but the orphan brothers don't listen. " Today, I suffer from chains. Er Kun must be Jin Meng's teacher. He can't be bound His family died and was laughed at by the heroes. '
Obviously, Li Yuan's mind is very clear at this time. He wanted to wait for his three sons to gather in Taiyuan, but he was suddenly imprisoned. Therefore, he immediately told Li Shimin that if the situation didn't improve, the three brothers must stand up immediately, instead of waiting for something to be laughed at by heroes all over the world.
It can be seen that Ethan's delay in starting work is due to immature conditions rather than indecision. So when Yang Di pardoned him later, Li Yuan said to Li Shimin, "When you see the opportunity!" Subsequently, Li was named "Hedong Shuai" and "Jinyang Zhaoyou" and actively established the core force of the uprising.
But until now, Tang Gaozu still can't start working.
Because there are two nails on his side-leaving deputy Wang Wei and Gao Junya behind.
They were cronies of Emperor Yang Guang of Yang Di, and were specially arranged beside Tang Gaozu to monitor and restrict him.
Although Tang Gaozu is a government official, he mobilizes very limited troops every day. According to the Sui system, in principle, only the emperor himself has the right to recruit and send troops, and local officials who send troops beyond 1000 without authorization will be sentenced to death. Therefore, if Tang Yuan wants to have enough troops to launch an uprising, he must get the support of Wang Wei and Gao Junya, and he must also have sufficient reasons for conscription. However, your majesty and Gao Junya are loyal to Yang Guang. It is almost impossible for them to be partners. If they were not allowed to expose themselves, Li Yuan would not take the risk.
Then, how can we have enough reasons to recruit and get the support of Wang Wei and Gao Junya?
Tang Gaozu has been anxiously waiting for the opportunity.
In February of the 13th year of Daye, a Mayi official named Liu Wuzhou suddenly launched a mutiny, killed Wang Rengong, the satrap, occupied the county seat and became king on his own.
Tang Gaozu smiled.
This is a godsend. He privately said to Wang Wei and Gao Junya: "Wu Zhou did nothing and dared to usurp the throne. If he occupies the palace in Fuyang and we can't cut it off, it will be genocide! " Wang He and Senior Two also think this is a serious matter. Loufan county, where the powder office is located, is adjacent to Mayi County. There are not only countless money and silks in it, but also many maids living in it, which may become Liu Wuzhou's next target. Therefore, they urged Tang Gaozu to send troops to attack Liu Wuzhou as soon as possible.
Tang Gaozu heart did Sarah laugh. Knowing that your majesty and Gao Junya are in a hurry, he is not in a hurry. He said slowly, "Look again and inform Loufan to pay attention to safety. We must use static braking to avoid disturbing the army. " In mid-March, Liu Wuzhou really broke through Loufan, attacked Fenyang Palace, and captured all the ladies-in-waiting and handed them over to East Turkistan Khan.
Your Majesty and Gao Junya were stunned. Next, Liu Wuzhou's soldiers must be pointing to Taiyuan.
But Tang Gaozu is still very calm. He summoned all civil and military officials and said, "Order soldiers to enforce martial law, strengthen urban defense, and distribute food to help the homeless. Other things are up to you. "
Wang Wei and Gao Junya said urgently, "Taiyuan people's lives are in their hands. If the public refuses, who can undertake this task? "
Knowing that Tang Gaozu now has a good reason to recruit and send troops, kings and higher people are more anxious than him. Tang Gaozu turned pale and said, "The imperial court ordered the generals to go out to war, so they should serve and be bound by the imperial court. At present, the thief soldiers are within a few hundred miles, but Jiangdu is three thousand miles away. In addition, there are other thieves hidden along the way. I don't know when. Leading this army, which must obey the long-distance command in everything, and resisting the cunning, treacherous and vicious thief soldiers is just like asking a scholar to put out the fire. Can you put it out? Every country is a national disaster, so Qi Xin will destroy it with Qi Xin. We all work for the imperial court, so we'd better not doubt each other. I called you here today to find a suitable way, instead of passive confrontation and shirking responsibility. "
Wang Wei and others immediately said: "The literary strategies of the masses are well known and have the status of a country and a virtuous minister. It should share joys and sorrows with the country. If everything is reported, how to deal with emergencies? As long as it is a crusade against traitors, we must behave well! "
Good, that's what I want!
An ecstasy passed through Tang Gaozu's mind. But he pretended to be helpless and reluctantly agreed to the request of the king and his superiors and ordered the conscription.
With one click, nearly 10,000 people were recruited on the first day of 10. This team will soon become the main force of Jinyang Uprising. Li Yuan ordered people to be stationed in xingguo temple and privately said to Li Shimin, "Three Senhime is enough to humiliate the people!" Xingguo is a good name. At the same time, they sent messengers to Hedong and Chang 'an respectively, urging Li's younger brother and son-in-law Chai Shao to join Taiyuan as soon as possible.
Everything is ready.
The next thing is how to clean up your majesty and Gao Junya.
But neither Wang Wei nor Gao Junya are idle people, and Ethan's behavior aroused their strong suspicion.
Because Li Yuan distributed the enlisted troops to three people: Li Shimin, Shunde, Sun Qiang and Liu Hongji. Li Shimin is Tang Gaozu's son, so there is nothing to say. The problem lies behind these two people. Who are they? Are criminals who evade military service! It should have been implemented long ago. It is a great shame for Tang Gaozu to report them. Now, Tang Gaozu has handed over its troops to these fugitives. What is the essence of this problem? What does Tang Gaozu want?
If anything happens, Wang and Gao are ready to arrest Shunde and Gao. But their idea was immediately rejected by one person.
This man is a samurai.
Samurai _ said, "They are all guests of the Tang Palace. If you must do this, I am afraid it will cause trouble. " It makes sense for Wang to think about it. Today, Liu Wuzhou and Turks are eyeing each other. If infighting happens at this time, it will do no good to anyone. So, they had to postpone it for a while. A few days later, another official named Tian Deping planned to advise Wang Wei and Gao Junya to investigate the inside story of Ethan's recruitment. Samurai _ stopped him and said, "The robbers are all from the Tang Palace. Although Wang Wei and Gao Junya have the title of deputy mayors, they have no real power. What investigative ability? " Tian Deping had to give up.
However, with the development of the situation, Wang Wei and Gao Junya increasingly feel that Ethan has a problem.
They finally decided to strike first.
At that time, because it had not rained for many days in Taiyuan, Wang and Gao proposed to hold a rain prayer meeting in Jinci, five miles south of Jinyang, and invited Li Yuan to preside over it, preparing to kill Li Yuan at the meeting.
At the same time, try to solve the problems of Wang Wei and Gao Junya.
Both sides are sharpening their knives in the dark. To the death, see who walks fast.
At this critical moment, a local township head named Liu Shilong sneaked into Tang Gaozu's home and told him that Wang Wei and Gao Junya were going to the Golden Temple to pray for rain.
Liu Shilong has a good relationship with Gao Junya on weekdays, so his news should be reliable.
Li Yuan immediately worked out an action plan with Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing and others.
On the evening of May 14th, 13th year of Daye, Tang Gaozu ordered Li Shimin and Sun Qiang Shunde to ambush 500 soldiers at the East Gate of Jinyang Miyagi. On the morning of 15, Tang Gaozu summoned His Majesty the Emperor Miyagi and General Gao Junya. As soon as they were seated, Liu Wenjing and Liu Zhenghui came to the front of the hall. Liu Zhenghui took a letter of complaint and said loudly that he had something important to leave. Li Yuan motioned for Wang Wei and Gao Junya to receive the complaint, but Liu Zhenghui said, "The only people I want to sue are the two deputies left behind, and only Tang Hong can see it!"
Your majesty and Gao Junya were caught off guard, and suddenly they were frightened to disgrace.
Li Yuan also pretended to be surprised: "How did this happen?" After receiving the complaint, he immediately announced loudly: "Wang Wei, Gao Junya colluded with the Turks in secret and prepared to attack Taiyuan from inside and outside."
Only at this moment did Wang Wei and Gao Junya realize what had happened. Gao Junya jumped up and rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "This is someone who wants to rebel and deliberately set us up!"
However, everything does not depend on them.
At this moment, Li Shimin's soldiers have taken control of all the important intersections outside the palace. Your Majesty and Gao Junya are undoubtedly turtles in a jar. After hearing the news, Shunde and others arrested Wang and Gao on the spot and put them in prison.
At this point, all preparations have been made and all obstacles have been removed.
At the same time, Li, Li Yuanji, Chai Shao and others came to Taiyuan non-stop.
Tang Gaozu is no longer worried. As soon as Li and others arrive, the historical curtain of Jinyang Uprising will be opened.
This is the motivation and reason of Jinyang Uprising.
From the records of the History of Cambridge in Sui and Tang Dynasties, we can clearly see that Li Yuan is by no means a mediocre man, but a "simple and unpretentious man who helps the world" and a "brave and headstrong and resourceful strategist".
In other words, Tang Gaozu himself was the first person who initiated Jinyang Uprising, including the organizer and overall commander of the whole process.
