Chapter 4 Chapter Four: Li Wujie Persuades Luo Yi to Rebel against Wang Junkuo, Kill the Post Office Officials and Flee

The person in charge of visiting Comrade Shunde was Yuwen Shiji, who was Li Shimin's official messenger.When he came to Changsun Shunde's house, Yuwen Shiji went crazy.The mental state of Changsun Shunde was completely unbearable to him. His face was flushed, his face was full of stubble, he was drunk and dirty, he reeked of alcohol when he spoke, and his hair hadn't been washed for seven or eight months, and it was about to grow mushrooms.Not only that, Comrade Shunde has a big belly, and the waist of his trousers is not tied. The string is hanging beside the waist of his trousers.

He looked at Yuwen Shiji sleepily, and smiled shamelessly. "What are you doing here? I'm not your real brother." "Xue Gong (Xue Guogong) what are you talking about..." "I don't have a title, so you still call me Xue Gong?" "I am here this time sent by the emperor, just to tell you that your title and fiefdom have been restored, the emperor is still afraid that you will be buried, and let you go to Zezhou to be the governor!" After Changsun Shunde heard this, his joking face turned serious. He stood upright, bowed earnestly, washed himself clean, and went to Zezhou to take up his post.

A corruption case created such a grandson Shunde.As the governor of Zezhou, he cracked down on corruption like a lunatic, and he was able to put down his airs and do things seriously, and won the love and support of the people of Zezhou.Is this the old grandson Shunde who liked to know the law and break the law?Baiguan couldn't believe it.But looking at Li Shimin who was sitting upright in court, he had to admire him from the bottom of his heart. This world should have changed like this. The new emperor, this is a respectable new emperor.Being close to sages and far away from villains is the foundation of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.One day, a letter from a foreigner disturbed Li Shimin's thoughts.The letter said: "Just above the court, beside the emperor, there are villains, please get rid of them." Li Shimin thought for a while but couldn't figure out who it was, so he called the man and asked:

"Which one is the villain?" The man replied seriously: "I live in the mountains, I really don't know who this villain is!" ... Speechless?In the past, this guy was just fooling the emperor, and he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.But Li Shimin didn't blame him, he looked at the solemn presenter and motioned him to continue.The man was still serious, citing the classics endlessly, it could be seen that he was very knowledgeable.Finally, he said how to deal with it: "I still have a lot of methods. I ask the emperor to pretend to be stupid. Those who do not yield are straight ministers, and those who flatter are villains."

Well, it stands to reason that Li Shimin would have to ask him for disobedience to the law.Because of Pei Ju's objection, fishing law enforcement has been banned, and he came to propose again, isn't it to tear down the prime minister's platform?Li Shimin nodded, and said to the man: "Let me make an analogy. The king is the source, and the minister is the water flow. If the source is not clear, how can the water flow be clear? I am so cunning, why should I ask my ministers to be upright?" Suddenly, seeing that person was nervous, Li Shimin smiled and comforted him: "You are indeed thinking of the country, and the method is very good, but I'm sorry, I really can't use it!"

This is really a ruthless method. The man bid farewell to the imperial court, and this matter was widely spread, and the entire Tang Dynasty became united and trusted each other, and the whole atmosphere was extremely harmonious.For a long time, Li Shimin has never slacked off, and everyone has made the Tang Dynasty a happy one together.Although the people encountered some disasters, the attitude of the officials changed suddenly, which made them so excited that they rushed to tell each other. This is Zhenguan, the famous Zhenguan through the ages! Oh... so, there is really no troublemaker?

Have. Anyone with normal thinking will never have the idea of ​​an uprising. Li Shimin accepted the lessons of his father Li Yuan and treated the people in Hebei, Shandong and other places equally.As I said before, Li Shimin once made such a decision: Anyone who reports the whereabouts of the former rebel general will be killed!Therefore, apart from the fact that the old party has no strength to build up, and there is no response, there is really no other movement.The world has been in chaos for so long, and finally met such a wise king again, whoever likes to make trouble, anyway, the people don't want to make trouble anymore.

However, a divine man broke this rare peace. Can't blame Li Yi. If you want to complain, you must first blame a god-man, this god-man is named Li Wujie, and you can see clearly that it is the five precepts, not the eight precepts. Li Wujie, female, a witch, is said to be able to perform magic tricks, summon spirits, recite spells, and even pretend to be ghosts.Li Wujie is very miraculous. According to Li Yi, this girl spit out a sip of fairy water from her mouth, which can draw out the handwriting of the heavenly script on the yellow paper, and it also has such a mysterious smell.Li Wujie is a witch who now lives in Li Yi's mansion. She is responsible for recruiting souls, looking at faces, instigating rebellions, loving all sentient beings, and eating meat for lunch.

Jingchuan, Gansu. Li Wujie was enshrined on the altar by Li Yi, surrounded by smoke.Li Yi was worried that after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he would think of his arrogance to him before, and he would not be able to forgive him.So, when he was seeking immortality, Comrade Li Yi told Li Wujie what was on his mind.On this day, Comrade Wu Jie glanced at Li Yi indifferently, and then at Li Yi's forehead.Suddenly, she was startled, pinched her fingers, and shouted like a pig: "My lord, your noble color has reached the heaven, if you don't turn back, the god will be angry!"

Li Yi is the most cruel and violent on weekdays, he is good at using big guns, and killing people is his forte. Hearing this, he asked suspiciously, "Really?" Li Wujie said, "Sure enough!" Li Yi was overjoyed, and took up his spear, leading tens of thousands of troops to rebel.However, his surname cannot be Li now, please call him "Luo Yi".Alright, Luo Yi led his tens of thousands of people (of course he had to bring Comrade Li Wujie with him), and took the lead to attack Binzhou (pronunciation: Pennsylvania, Ning County, Gansu), planning to use this as a base to attack Chang'an.And here, the distance from Chang'an is no more than five hundred miles away. It can be said that it is a success, free flight, ten thousand horses are galloping, and the horse is thin and hairy!

Zhao Cihao from Binzhou Zhizhong came, and he opened the door to greet him. Luo Yi has a secret decree, which he forged in order to deceive his father, but it is okay to deceive people temporarily. Li Shimin was shocked when he learned that Luo Yi had rebelled, and sent his eldest grandson Wuji to fight against him.But it was a bit late, when Luo Yi led the troops into Binzhou City, Zhao Cihao knew that this guy was plotting a rebellion.So, he secretly found the commander Yang Ji, and discussed how to murder Luo Yi.Hehe, for Luo Yi, who has experienced many vicissitudes, it is very easy to instigate a mutiny. He has placed a lot of eyeliner, just to prevent someone from tipping off the news.Thus, Zhao Cihao was imprisoned like this.Yang Ji outside the city finally sensed that something was wrong, leading the army to attack Luo Yi. There is no comparison between Yang Ji and Luo Yi. Yang Ji didn't have much fame, but Luo Yi was the one who frightened the Turkic people, and Luo Yi who used a lance to chop up the Turkic soldiers with blood and flesh on the battlefield.The imperial court must send someone, otherwise Yang Ji's people will die so that there is not even a scum left.But the army did not come for a long time, Luo Yi and Yang Ji scuffled extremely unbalanced, and the outcome was soon decided. The result is: Luo Yi was beaten to the bum by Yang Ji, and shrank in the city, not daring to come out. Question: "Hey, isn't Luo Yi the God of War? Why are you so hard-pressed?" Answer: "It's not that Luo Yi is bad, it's that his soldiers are bad, which hurt Luo Yi's feelings." When the sun is shining, the flowers and plants are fragrant, and a discordant general is leading you to fight against the largest imperial army in the world, what will you think?Do you want to make a contribution or run away?To be loyal to a brutal general, or to your emperor?Obviously, Luo Yi's soldiers are not confused, they don't have any hope of Luo Yi's rebellion, and when they see an official army coming (there may be only a few hundred soldiers), they have already planned their escape route and deal with it casually Twice, I ran away immediately, and I couldn't stop it. You can't cover your pregnant belly! You can't stop the fleeing soldiers! Luo Yi had never fought such a useless battle in his life, the soldiers were defeated, and he was trapped in the middle. Luo Yi is Luo Yi, he is an expert in war, and he shows his true qualities as a hero!Therefore, Luo Yi broke off the spear and began to escape bravely, and he was not far behind in escaping.Seeing that the gang of soldiers below ran away, he also ran away, and he was not happy that others ran faster than him.Luo Yi's escape not only left behind infinite regrets, but also left behind a crying wife and son.Yes, they were abandoned, they were abandoned by the shameless Luo Yi! Luo Yi rode a fast horse and led a group of cronies to run towards Turkic. What he meant was that Datang was no longer possible, so he had to go to Xieli.When they arrived in Wuzhi (Pingliang County, Gansu Province), the cronies began to scold them from the bottom of their hearts. They quit. They couldn’t spend their whole lives in such a place where no shit is for a ruthless person.Luo Yi's popularity is very poor on weekdays. After discussion, everyone reached an important consensus - kill Luo Yi and go to Chang'an to ask for credit. A quarter of an hour later, Luo Yi's head was carried and ran towards Chang'an. Although it's a bit unkind, I'm still going to talk about Luo Yi's wife. She deserves to be abandoned.Her daily task is to fool Luo Yi's ears, the content is "the emperor is better than anything else", she has condemned Luo Yi countless times for not living up to expectations.Greedy, she hangs out with Li Wujie, fortune-telling, meditation, pretending to be gods, playing ghosts... She knows how to scare Luo Yi, so she hints to Luo Yi every day. Every time Luo Yi mentioned the things Luo Yi did to Qin Wang Li Shimin many years ago, Luo Yi gasped. Luo Yi was a cruel and proud person. When Li Shimin was still the king of Qin, he sent someone to deliver a message to him. As soon as the messenger of the king of Qin arrived, Luo Yi tied him up and practiced his fists.He and his men (those rascals) beat the courier black and blue before giving up.Li Yuan is a broad-minded person. Although he was furious upon hearing the news and threw Luo Yi into prison, he was released soon after. When Li Shimin came to the throne, Luo Yi was greatly worried, and coupled with the brainwashing of his wife and Li Wujie, he raised the flag of rebellion without knowing the heights of the heavens and the earth. Just like that, he died, and there was no one to cry for him. If it is said that Luo Yi is purely looking for trouble, then Xiao Yu's actions are more difficult to define.During this period of time, Xiao Yu's life was really not very good. Ever since Feng Deyi successfully provoked the relationship between him and Chen Shuda, he has been bored at home, not going out of the door, not going to the second door, and the big class girls.Now, regardless of past suspicions, Li Shimin appoints him to be the prince's young teacher, that is, Li Chengqian's teacher.After Comrade Feng was frightened to death, Xiao Yu was reinstated and became Zuo Pushe again. He was so proud of himself that he ran all the way to the west of Bianqiao. Later, Changsun Wuji also became a right servant. It can be seen that Pu She is a very important official.Now, it's time to popularize the little knowledge of the three provinces and six parts. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shangshusheng had already taken shape, but the name was not the same at that time, it was not called Shangshusheng, but Shangshutai.Since one department of Shangshutai is in charge of large and small affairs, it is very easy to form a monopoly. Therefore, during the Three Kingdoms period, smart people created two more departments.These two departments are used to divide and limit the power of Shangshu Province, that is, Zhongshu and Menxia Province.After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty invented the system of three provinces and six departments, Shangshu Province developed.Because Shang Shusheng is the leader, the other two departments are things created by the emperor to divide the power of the prime minister. Therefore, this is why among the six ministries in the three provinces, six ministries are affiliated to Shangshu Province. The Zhongshu Province took over the drafting of imperial edicts on major military and state affairs and the appointment and dismissal of important officials from the Shangshu Province. They were responsible for formulating plans, and they had the final say on what activities to do next; The Menxia Province took over the rejection and deliberation rights of the Shangshu Province. They were responsible for slapping the Zhongshu Province in the face. The Shangshu Province is the boss and also the executive organ. It has six departments under its jurisdiction: the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry. Unlike the Zhongshu and Menxia provinces, the Shangshu Province is set up outside the palace and leads the six departments. .Each of these six departments has four divisions, making a total of twenty-four divisions. The boss of Zhongshu Province is called Zhongshu Ling, the second is called Zhongshu Shilang, and the third is called Zhongshu Sheren; the boss of Zhongshu Province is called Shizhong, the second is called Huangmen Shilang, the third is called Shizhong; The eldest is called Shangshuling, the second is called Pushe, and the third is the Shangshu of Liubu.So, now, we can clearly know that Shang Shuling should be the most arrogant.But even if you search the entire history of the Tang Dynasty, you can hardly see the shadow of Shang Shuling. Why is this? You can go up to the third paragraph, there is a civil department, which was later renamed the household department, which was to avoid Li Shimin's taboo.In the same way, Li Shimin had previously served as a Minister of History, so this position is particularly sensitive, and "Shang Shu Ling" has become a sensitive word. Shoot the positions of the two vice-presidents.If you ask me, Xiao Yu is quite competent as a servant, let alone Changsun Wuji. The above content is the basic knowledge of the three provinces and six departments. Shang Shupu shoots Xiao Yu, and his true colors will soon be revealed. One day, Li Shimin called Xiao Yu to discuss the gains and losses of Zhou Dynasty and Qin Dynasty. Xiao Yu's opinion is: "King Zhou of Shang had no way, King Wu of Zhou attacked him; Zhou He and the six kingdoms were innocent, but Qin Shihuang destroyed them. They all won the world, but people's hearts are different. This is probably the reason why the length of dynasties is different!" Li Shimin waved his hand , said: "Aiqing only knows one thing, but not the other. Zhou won the world and governed with benevolence and righteousness; Qin won the world and liked to use deception and violence. Zhou has eight hundred years, but Qin has only ten years. Reason. Therefore, no matter how you obtain the world, it doesn't matter, but to defend the world, you must have a heart of obedience to the people!" Xiao Yu sighed in admiration, thinking it was too late. Pu She Xiao Yu has a very individual character, and he didn't realize it himself.He is actually a very neurotic person. For example, if someone says that his writing is very simple, he will suspect that you said his writing is rustic.This kind of suspicion will eventually turn into the anger of classmate Xiao Yu. He straightened his neck and remained silent, meaning to fight you to the end (even if you let him say it, he can't say it).Some unreliable things, in his eyes, the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, and the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes. Not happy, don't eat, don't drink water... Xiao Yu has such a temperament, and it's hard not to be spoofed by people like Feng Deyi with this kind of temperament.Therefore, Fang and Du didn't like Xiao Yu, they said he was boring.The angry Xiao Yu was very concerned about political affairs, sometimes to an outrageous level, he became angry, and became angry, and scolded Li Shimin in court.And because Xiao Yu is a person who likes to reason, and the little things he talks about make people unable to find fault, so it is very helpless. In December of the first year of Zhenguan (627), Xiao Yu was dismissed from office again, packed up and left, and went home to rest. He was angry, very angry. Xiao Yu is not the only one who likes to be suspicious, Wang Junkuo is also there. Wang Junkuo is a villain. He is extremely fierce and brave. He once made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.This person is a reckless man, or a ruffian. He doesn't try to learn basic cultural knowledge, and he knows how to drink and fight every day.He didn't finish elementary school and was basically illiterate, for which he has wronged others.After Li Yuan was killed by him, he successfully became the governor of Youzhou.When he was an official, he was violent and lawless, and there were many complaints among the people. Li Shimin learned that, Li Shimin ordered him to enter the court, and wanted to ask him for his crimes. Li Xuandao, governor of Youzhou, secretary of Wang Junkuo. Li Xuandao was not Li Daoxuan, he was a literati with a good writing style, he was Fang Xuanling's nephew, and he couldn't get along with rough people like Wang Junkuo on weekdays, so he only said a few words when he was working.After being summoned, Wang Junkuo and Li Xuandao set out on the road together.On the way, Wang Junkuo started thinking.He suspected that someone inside had informed him. After pondering over and over again, Li Xuandao was the most suspicious. This person was Fang Xuanling's nephew, and Fang Xuanling was Li Shimin's confidant!villain! When it was time to rest at the station, while Li Xuandao was not paying attention, Wang Junkuo went to rummage through the documents in the box, and unexpectedly found a large stack in one go. For this person with little literacy, it is indeed difficult to understand these classical Chinese texts. Fortunately, he still knows the words "one two three four, two two three four, not bad, very good Jun Kuo".After looking around, I found that there were no such words, and I couldn't help being annoyed.Finally, he found a cursive script at the bottom of the suitcase, very scribbled cursive script.It is estimated that this cursive script is probably a long poem written by Comrade Li Xuandao drunk, and it will definitely not be a top play, because no one dared to write a letter to the emperor in such cursive characters. But Wang Junkuo was stunned. He took the document and looked left and right, but he didn't understand.So wild, he smashed the bamboo trunks with one hand, and ran to the guard at the post station with a machete. He killed the postman and fled to Turkic alone on horseback.As Wang Junkuo was destined to do, he ran to an unknown place, where a group of savages (probably Jihu) surrounded him.The wild man didn't pay attention to his style of play and routines, and ran his horse directly. A group of people surrounded him and beat him hundreds of times.Wang Junkuo bleeds from his seven orifices, and dies of exhaustion.The brave general who relied on deception and military exploits was finally beaten to death by a group of savages. This story only tells us one truth: No culture is terrible!
