Chapter 56 Chapter Fifty-six: The King of Qin’s Words Frighten Jie Lixiong’s Master Fu Yi’s Theory Xiao Yu’s Heart Buddha

Li Shimin soon arrived at the front of the Turkic army, and first sent a signal soldier forward on horseback, and shouted at Jieli: "Aren't we all married to Khan? Why don't we keep the agreement and come to trouble you again! I am Da King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, if Khan can fight, just fight with me; if you bring a large army to fight me, I will fight you with these hundred or so elite cavalry!" Jieli squinted his eyes and saw that Li Shimin's elite was on the ground. Not far away, and there are really only a hundred of these so-called elite cavalry.If you were Xieli, how would you feel about such provocative enemies?

There must be fraud in it. Li Lao Er is almost out of food, let alone cheating. This is Comrade Li Yuanji's inner monologue. He was waiting for the melee between his second brother and Jieli, and then he rode back to Chang'an on a fast horse and called everyone to move the capital.It was raining, and the soldiers of the Tang army were not in the mood. Li Shimin was bluffing.In this situation where the sun can't shine, the road is extremely slippery, and the soldiers are cold and hungry, he dared to fight Xieli one-on-one. Apart from seeking death, there seemed to be no other reason to explain his behavior.Jieli looked at Li Shimin, wondering what this guy was trying to do, but he was embarrassed to say that he didn't understand, so he just smiled at the messenger.The messenger returned to the cavalry company and reported that that guy Xieli didn't speak, only smiled.

Li Shimin also smiled, Jieli's smile was pretending to be calm, and Li Shimin's smile was a smile that he knew well.Xieli was suspicious and didn't dare to be abrupt, but relying on his large number of soldiers and horses, he rode forward without knowing what to do.Li Shimin sent someone to shout to Tuli beside Jieli, "You formed an alliance with us before, we are brothers, and now you are leading troops to attack me. What do you mean?" Li squinted. It turns out that you two have an affair! Xieli was suspicious. Seeing that the two brothers were silent, Li Shimin led the troops and wanted to cross the river. Jieli panicked, and quickly sent someone to shout: "The king of Qin doesn't need to cross the river. We are here to confirm our friendly relationship. Nothing else. (The king does not need to cross, I have no other intentions, and I want to make an alliance with Wang Shengu.) "In fact, he was afraid that Li Shimin and Tuli would have a conspiracy.As Li Shimin expected, the Turkic army retreated and stationed not far from Youzhou City.

These days, the rain has been falling, and it is getting heavier and heavier.Generally speaking, the army in the cold weapon era is afraid of rainy days.It was raining, the food was not enough, and the weapons were not easy to use. The morale of the Tang army was very poor. It is better to finish the work early and rest early.But Li Shimin came to such a conclusion: the Turks relied on their war horses and bows and arrows to be powerful. Now the rain is heavy and the bow is wet, the tendons and glue are disintegrating, and the wings of the birds are broken.Our knives and spears are sharp now, and we are waiting for work with leisure. If we attack them unexpectedly at this time, we will surely defeat the enemy army!When Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan, he also said such things, but he never thought of taking the initiative to attack. Li Shimin was full of courage!So, he led the Tang army to set off in the rain, preparing to surprise the Turks.

How could the Turks expect that Li Shimin would take the initiative to attack, and they were not mentally prepared at all, so they had to rush to the battle.Just when Xieli was about to start a mobilization meeting, Tuli, who was even more sudden than suddenly, appeared suddenly, and he tried his best to discourage this counterattack plan.Why did Tuli act like this?It was because this series of actions were all Li Shimin's tricks.Li Shimin knew that the army could not fight recklessly. Before that, he had sent someone to do ideological work for Tuli.In fact, Li Shimin's assault and Tuli's persuasion had the same goal, that is, to force Jieli soldiers.It was raining and cold, and the soldiers were eager to return to the army, but Xieli didn't know what Li Shimin was up to, so he agreed.

But that's not enough. Next, Jieli heard paragraph after paragraph of parallel sentences from Tuli's mouth.The parallel sentence refers to the analysis of the situation, and he thinks that Tuli's analysis is quite in place.After the analysis, Tuli started talking again, and finally made Xieli realize the basic fact that if he wanted to stop the army, he had to send someone to propose marriage.Well, Li Shimin is a person who doesn't do it or does it, and does it if he wants to.Xieli actually agreed to send someone to Ruotang to propose marriage! So Tuli and Ashina Simo were sent to make relatives with Li Shimin.And Tuli and Li Shimin also worshiped the handle and became brothers.At this point in the story, Ashina Simo should change his name to Li Simo, but no matter what his surname is, it is not his original surname.This Ashina Simo who hangs out with Tuli is very interesting. Although this person's surname is Ashina, his appearance doesn't look like Turkic at all.Because he does not look like a Turkic, but rather looks like a Westerner, Chuluo Khan thought that he might not be of Ashina's breed, so he was not given military power, but only let him work as a secretary. This secretary is the secretary of the Turkic United Tribe. Long status (Simo looks like a Hu, not like a Turk, so Luo suspects that he is not like Ash. He is often a Bitler, and he will never be able to use it as a soldier.).

Tuli and Xieli have internal conflicts, similar to the conflicts between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. It's okay for Tuli, but it's not for Xieli.At that time, the Turkic soldiers had a great characteristic of grabbing things. If there was something to grab, it would be a victory.The whole army was defeated, and the faces of the soldiers were not red at all.Xieli has been leading troops to fight before, and he is so deep that he can't recognize the essence of being thick-skinned and dark-hearted.Not long after the contract was revised, he brought an army of 100,000 to Shuozhou to rob, marry and so on, to no avail.A few days later, he came to Bingzhou, and then Lingzhou, and then Pengzhou, Linzhou, Shanzhou, and Youzhou were robbed one after another.Since people ran away after grabbing, they could take away everything except the clouds, so there was no need for Tang Junbo, so there was no issue of sovereignty.But even if the Tang army broke up the Turks, the faces of the Turkic soldiers would not turn red, so everyone was helpless.

The Turks were so angry with Li Yuan that they successively sent Zhang Jin, Wen Boyan, Li Jing, Li Gaoqian, Ren Gui, Wang Junkuo and other generals to attack the Turks, winning and losing.Jieli sometimes seeks peace and sometimes invades, which makes Li Yuan suffer a lot.Li Yuan felt that he couldn't take it any longer, so he told the editors that in the future, all letters to Xieli would be called by superiors for subordinates.This is a way for Li Yuan to express his attitude. The Tang Dynasty was the upper kingdom, and the Turks stood aside.The mighty Turk was insulted by the bruised Tang Dynasty, but Jieli still didn't blush, because his face was always red.

It stands to reason that when the army is preparing for a duel, facing inwards should hold their breath as if they were facing a typhoon. However, at this tense moment, Li Yuan was still able to calmly handle many affairs of the celestial dynasty, and promulgated many decrees, the most famous of which was the weakening of Buddhism and Taoism. Li Yuan is not interested in Buddhism or Taoism, especially Buddhism.Taoism is local, and the ancestor is Li Er, so he can't talk about Taoism.But he thinks that the Buddhists cut their hair and beat wooden fish with a stick all day long. Their daily task is to look up at the sky at 135° and make a sad appearance and tell a few fabricated stories. hateful.Li Yuan felt that few of the monks and lay Buddhists did it for the sake of cultivation. Most of them went there to avoid corvee and taxes. Ninety percent of them were unqualified. They are very different from real monks and Taoists.

For this reason, a special debate was held in the imperial court. The topic was "Should monks and Taoist priests be repatriated to their places of origin". The contestants are divided into pros and cons. The representatives of the pros are Emperor Li Yuan and Taishi Ling Fu Yi. There are more opponents, and the representative is our lovely Xiao Yu.First of all, let me introduce Fu Yi. He was the most famous anti-Buddhist fighter in the early Tang Dynasty, and he was also a promising scholar.At first hearing "anti-Buddha" at first, it makes people feel that this person is not enlightened, but in fact, the anti-Buddhism at that time is similar to the current opposition to foreign festivals.

We just got the light of being born late. Now, the game begins.The first to stand up to speak is the first debate, the second debate and the third debate——Comrade Fu Yi. Fu Yi's words were sharp, and he criticized when he came up: "Buddhism makes people shave their heads, but their bodies are hair and skin, and their parents dare not damage them. Furthermore, monks who live in the mountains and are not at home to honor their parents are not benevolent or unrighteous; most people become monks to escape responsibility, not for ideals in their hearts; they gather people to break the law and extort money, which should be banned." Xiao Yu did not get along with Fu Yi, and was very dissatisfied with Fu Yi's views, and retorted: "Buddha is a saint, but Fu Yi discredited Buddha. Without saints, there is no Taoism. I think Fu Yi should be punished!" There are arguments, but no arguments, this is Xiao Yu who is impatient. But Xiao Yu's opinion is right, it is really unfair for Fu Yi to describe Buddhism as similar to Zhang Wuben.Li Yuan didn't like to see the disciples of Sakyamuni and Taishang Laojun. The reason was not that he had any prejudice against quietness and inaction and hard work, but that he hated people without virtue and incompetence who went to become monks and priests and deliberately evaded paying taxes. human responsibility.Moreover, many rebels and bandits at that time were dressed as monks and Taoists.In fact, Li Yuan will always stand by Fu Yi's side, not because of what Fu Yi said well, but because he wants to clarify the law. Fu Yi's anti-Buddhist remarks were supported by Li Yuan, but most people did not agree.Most of these people are scholars and scholars in the imperial court.At that time, most monks who became monks were illiterate, and this was the crux of the matter.Fu Yi gave an impassioned speech at the debate meeting, and his eloquence was very eloquent, and Xiao Yu had nothing to say when asked.In the end, Comrade Xiao Yu was at a loss, so he put his hands together and murmured like a monk: "Abi hell, it's a human being." It means that people will go to hell if they do wrong things. This sentence is too harsh. I'll curse you if I can't say it, Xiao Yu, who likes to be angry, feels that he has nothing to say when facing the eloquent anti-Buddhist scholars, and has to say that Fu Yi's words are old-fashioned. The debate is over. Li Yuan ordered that all monks, nuns, Taoists and Taoist priests in the whole world be relocated to Daguan, all wretched old men, young men, old women, and young women who evaded legal responsibility, and all immoral and incompetent picky talents, should all be repatriated to their original places.After the decree, only three temples and two Taoist temples remained in Chang'an, and only one temple and Taoist temple in each state remained, and all others were confiscated.It's not a disaster, it's a cleanup.It was this movement to clean up the sect that greatly improved the quality of Buddhism and Taoism in the early Tang Dynasty.What Li Yuan is doing now seems to have nothing to do with the war against the Turks, but in fact, he is preparing for the country's strength.This time, taxpayers suddenly increased, and national power was restored. Fu Yi respected Confucius, Mencius and Taoism all his life, which is also different from Li Yuan.On the issue of anti-Buddhism, there are actually many latecomers, and most of them are well-known scholars.The main ones are Li Deyu, Han Yu, Li Ao, Lu Cai, Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan... Are you convinced?Many people think that these people are sour Confucians, but in fact they are not. It is not until the end that everyone realizes that in fact, anti-Buddha is sometimes a kind of respect for Buddha. Fu Yi is an excellent scholar who has made great contributions to the history of Chinese culture. Question: Did the epitaph exist during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors?If not, who created the epitaph? The answer is: the epitaph has only been available since Fu Yi. "Youth Learning Qionglin" said: "The elegy began with Tian Heng, and the epitaph was created with Fu Yi." That is to say, the singing of the elegy began with the incident of Tian Heng's Five Hundred Scholars, and the epitaph began with Fu Yi. Only then.In the past, people had inscriptions after they died, but they cannot be called epitaphs.Therefore, if any dear friend tells you, the epitaph of Comrade Adou is "Happy here, don't miss Shu".You can rush up and slap him twice, and yell: "If you pretend again, I'll slap you to death!" When he looks at you pitifully and puzzled, you can put your mouth at 45° to the sky, and then you will be full of air He told him: "Brother Dou said that the epitaph was only found in the early Tang Dynasty." If you don't accept it, you will go up and kick him to death. This method should be widely spread, and its merits are immeasurable, so it should be remembered. Well, the book returns to the main story. In addition to opposing Buddhism, Fu Yi has been doing another thing all his life: divination.Fu Yi is proficient in the science of yin and yang spells, and his Yi Xue is a model.If you study well, you will understand astronomy and geography, and astronomical phenomena are naturally no problem.Therefore, Fu Yi is also in charge of the weather forecast in the imperial court, and every report is quite accurate.But Fu Yi is not interested in forecasting at all. Although he predicts events very accurately, he always has a playful attitude.But sometimes, he thinks it's funny, others don't. "Zi Zhi Tong Jian Tang Ji Qi" records: June, Ding Si, Taibai Jingtian. I checked the old almanac, and this day is the first day of June in the ninth year of Wude, June 29, 626 AD, and the Taibai star has been hanging above the sky.Taibai star, that is, Taibai Jinxing, is a symbol of great changes in things.Fu Yi's inscription on this was: "When Taibai sees Qin's division, the king of Qin should rule the world." He told Li Yuan the inscription and let Li Yuan make his own decision.Regardless of Li Yuan's reaction, some people will be very puzzled, why is this guy so powerful, and even figured out the future? I also felt very helpless about this. At first, I thought that this person was supernatural and omniscient.It was later guessed that this guy likes Li Shimin, supports Li Shimin, and sees that Li Shimin is strong, what can you do?What's interesting is that this magician named Fu Yi never takes medicine on weekdays. He thinks that everything should go with the flow, even accidents.We don't need to try to turn things around, we have to follow nature, and if we want to overcome nature, the result is death.Fu Yi didn't take medicine when he was sick, and burned the inscriptions when he got the test, and only released a message to the outside world. In the eyes of others, he lived his life very chicly. He was eighty-five years old when he died.His tombstone reads: Fu Yi is from Qingshan Baiyun.Die from drunkenness, alas! Now, Li Yuan received the results of Fu Yi's report on Taibaixing.After receiving Fu Yi's secret report, Li Yuan had no doubts that the King of Qin was about to rule, because the prophecy of "Muzi Li, win the world" had come true, and among the proponents back then, the one who said it most definitely was this carefree man!Li Yuan was no longer calm. Suddenly, he felt that he was alone.He felt unprecedented pressure, Qin Wang Li Shimin wanted to usurp power... what should he do? Li Yuan was very clear about the struggle between his sons, mediation was impossible, and in this situation, they could only be separated. Before that, Li Yuan had already dismantled the group of people in the Literature Museum, trying to disintegrate Li Shimin's power and avoid riots.Li Yuan discussed countermeasures with those concubines, and the concubines expressed their thoughts.These women have no talents, and have no other ideas except to fight for their own interests. These concubines were gossiping next to Li Yuan's ears, and the methods they said were all thought up by Li Jiancheng.It should be said that this method is quite good: since King Qin is so powerful in Chang'an, it is better to let him go to Luoyang, and then find a crime to punish him.But look carefully at this sentence, which can be divided into three clauses.Li Yuan heard the first two clauses, but didn't hear the third clause. Therefore, Li Yuan really wanted to control Li Shimin away.As the saying goes, if you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it. Li Shimin is in danger.On Li Shimin's side, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde and others rushed to Li Shimin one after another, and they found Li Shimin who hadn't dared to launch a coup.At this time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had expected that if they wanted to destroy Li Shimin, they had to take the most hated Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui first. Both sides have entered a tense state of alert, and an event that shocked history has begun. Li Jiancheng: Everyone is ready, nervous!Dad, before I die, what else do you want to say? Li Yuan: I wish you all good health!
