But when Yang Yansi returned to Zhaozhou to camp, he saw Pan Renmei crying and said: "My father was trapped in Chenjia Valley by the enemy soldiers. I hope to recruit troops to rescue him. Otherwise, it will be a matter of life and death!" Renmei said: "Your father and son have always been known as invincible, and now we are fighting.
, are you here to rescue us? The army and horses are well prepared, but it is difficult for our camp to dispatch them." Yansi was shocked and said: "My father and son are in the national plan, so why should we sit back and watch their defeat?" Renmei ordered left and right to push out of the tent.
Yansi immediately scolded: "It's an unreasonable man! If I were to survive, I would be at odds with you, the old thief!" Renmei said angrily: "You are a rotten son of a bitch! Don't retaliate for hatred. The right to kill now belongs to me, yet you have come to seek your own death?"
?" Then he ordered the left and right to be tied to a high place and shoot. The military academy received the order and tied Yansi to the raft of the boat. All the troops fired their arrows at the same time, but none of the arrows could hit. Renmei was shocked and said: "It's really strange! Why are so many people there?
None of the shots hit the target?" Yansi heard this and thought to himself, saying: "A man is about to die, what should I fear? I only worry about the fate of my father and brother." Because the person who taught archery said: "You can blind my eyes and shoot.
Only then can he hit the target." All the troops obeyed and put down their bodies, cut off the flesh of his eyebrows to cover his eyes, and then shot him. Poor Yang Qilang was covered with thousands of arrows, and his body was not intact, and everyone who saw it felt sad. Later generations lamented in a poem:
Thousands of horses in front of the army performed great feats, cut down the fort and entered the battle to meet the hero. How could he fail in his life's ambition and end up dead with arrows? Pan Renmei shot Yang Qilang to death and ordered his body to be thrown into the Yellow River. Suddenly he reported: "Fan soldiers
Yang Ye was trapped in Chenjia Valley. Yang Ye is already dead. Now he has killed his head and rushed to the west camp to kill him." Renmei was shocked and said: "The soldiers are so numerous that they are difficult to defeat. If they don't retreat in a hurry, they will be captured. He immediately ordered the camp to be pulled out.
Before setting off, Liu Junqi and others were disheartened and walked back to Bianjing overnight.
The Fan soldiers took advantage of the situation and pursued and killed most of them. Most of the Song soldiers were killed, and countless people abandoned their baggage and armor. Since Xiao Talan had won a complete victory, he stationed in Weizhou and sent people to report the victory to Empress Xiao without mentioning it.
However, it was said that Yang Yanzhao's subordinates Chen Lin and Chai Gan fled and hid in the reed forest after the war. They waited for the soldiers to retreat, and then they went out along the coast. Suddenly they saw a corpse floating upstream and approaching the shore. The two of them looked at it carefully and found out where it was.
He said: "This is Yang Qilang, the young chief officer. Why was he shot by random arrows?" Before the sound of the position stopped, a horse on the side of the bank suddenly came running quickly. Chen and Chai were waiting to escape, but the horse was approaching. It was Yang Yanzhao.
When he saw Chen and Chai, he asked: "Why are you here?" Chen Lin said: "I was defeated and took refuge here, and I was just trying to find out about my official. I didn't expect to see a corpse floating in the river, but it was Qi Lang.
You, your body is covered with arrows, your body is not intact, and you don’t know who hurt you." Liulang dismounted, looked up to the sky and cried: "My father and son have been loyal to the country, why did they suffer this fate? This must be because Renmei went to rescue the soldiers, and the words provoked him, and he was killed by the old man.
He was killed by thieves." After ordering Chen, Chai picked up the body and buried it on the shore. Chen Lin said, "Where will I go today?" Yan Zhao said, "You two can settle down wherever you want. I am secretly telling you.
Go down the small road to inquire about my father. If you are trapped in the valley, you must go to Bianjing at night to rescue; if something unexpected happens, you will have to take revenge." Chen and Chai followed his words, and the three of them shed tears and said goodbye.
It is only said that Yang Yanzhao was riding alone in the valley. Halfway there, he met two woodcutter and asked: "What is the name of this place?" The woodcutter said: "Turn around the east wall of the valley, which is the Youzhou Desert. Going forward is Hu.
"Original." After Yanzhao heard this, he came to the place with Qingqi. He saw overlapping corpses, all with Song military department numbers, groaning for a long time. Near the Li Ling monument, a general fell to the ground, leaving a waistband. Yanzhao looked at it carefully.
It was his father who held the body and cried: "The emperor and heaven did not bless my father and son, so they died in the military revolution. What a misfortune it is?" He hid his tears, dug up the sword and buried it in the sand, leaving a broken piece on it.
Ge Weiji reined up his horse and came out of the original entrance. He was stopped by Zhang Heita, who shouted: "Why don't you dismount and surrender? You will avoid death."
Yanzhao was furious, and he drew his spear and attacked the general. The two of them clashed, and when they reached the end of the battle, they were surrounded by soldiers. Although Yanzhao was brave, he was outnumbered. In the critical moment, a general from behind the mountain suddenly came to kill him and raised his hand.
With an axe, he struck the black horse under his horse. He killed the scattered soldiers and dismounted to see Yanzhao. It was Wulang Yande. The brothers hugged each other and cried. Yande said: "The enemy is here, so you can follow me into the mountain to discuss it."
"So he invited Liulang to Mount Wutai.
He entered the abbot and sat down. Yanzhao said: "Since I was separated from my brother Youzhou, my life and death have not been judged. How can I be here today?" Yande said: "On that day, my father Baoluan drove out of the east gate, and I and my brothers fought fiercely with the enemy.
The situation has become critical. As a way to escape, he cut off his hair and threw himself into Wutai Mountain to become a monk. Recently, he saw the murderous spirit in Chenjiagu, and the confrontation between Liao and Song Dynasties. I was heartbroken, so I went down the mountain to watch, not wanting to meet my brother in danger." Yan Zhaozhi.
He complained about the matter between Qilang and his father. Yan De was deeply saddened, so he said: "The revenge of a close relative must not be unavenged." Yan Zhao said: "I should go to the emperor to show my father's injustice." That evening, I spent time in the temple.
He stayed all night. The next day he said goodbye to Yande and went to Bianjing.
The news reached Bianjing, and Emperor Taizong heard that Yang Ye died in the battle. The Song army was defeated and he hurriedly gathered civil and military officials to discuss: "Yang Ye and his son were loyal and diligent to the country. Now that I heard that he died in a king's affair, I am very sad." The eight kings entered.
He said: "Recently, Hu Yanzan returned to Beijing to prepare supplies and told his ministers: Commander Pan Renmei was not on good terms with Yang Ye. I was worried about his defeat, and now it is true. Your Majesty should find out the reason why Renmei lost his master and let future generations know.
Punishment." Taizong accepted his memorial and issued an edict to all ministers to investigate the matter specifically.
When Renmei heard the news, she was restless and discussed with Liu Junqi, saying: "The imperial court wants to investigate why we defeated the army. It is rumored that Yang Liulang will go to Beijing to report the matter. If the Lord knows this, Hu Yanzan will prove it.
Our whole family is in danger." Jun Qi said: "It is not advisable to delay the matter. If we wait for the report, the whole family will not be able to complain. Since Liu Lang has not arrived today, we can secretly send people to wait for him across the Yellow River and plan things outside. The so-called
Cut off the weeds and root them out to prevent them from sprouting again." Renmei then sent his trusted soldiers to the Yellow River crossing to wait.
But it was said that Yang Yanzhao left Mount Wutai and headed towards the main road. When he arrived at a mountain forest, he suddenly heard the sound of several drums, and more than 20 people walked out, blocked the way, and shouted: "If you want to pass by, leave money to buy the road." Yanzhao raised his head and looked at it,
Seeing the two leaders, he asked, "Could it be that Chen Lin and Chai are here?" Chen and Chai heard this, and hurriedly approached and said, "So you are my official." Then he invited Liu Lang into the stronghold, and he knew:
"After I left my post, I took this place to settle down. I didn't want to meet each other earlier." General Yanzhao knew the circumstances of his father's death. Because he wanted to go to Beijing, he told the emperor why the commander should not rescue the troops. Chen Lin said:
"I am glad that I have told you what happened. Now Pan Zhao has been summoned to prevent me from complaining. I have sent dozens of strong troops to wait for me at the Yellow River Crossing. There is another place here where I can go to Bianjing to see me off in front of people.
If you go from the small road, you will be safe." After Yanzhao heard this, he said: "It's not accidental. This thief harmed my family and now he is here to plot against me." Then he spent the night in the village. The next day,
Chen Lin ordered his men to secretly send Liu Lang away from Xiongzhou.
The words are divided into two parts. However, it is said that Empress Xiao of Youzhou was rewarded by Xiao Tat's laziness and decided to pursue the Central Plains. There was an internal official, Yu Qin, who was from Shuozhou. He entered the palace since he was a child and relied on Empress Xiao. He was clever and sycophantic, and was valued by other people.
Qin Nai secretly reported: "The unified land of the Central Plains has countless advisers and brave generals. With just one battle, An Neng can conquer the world? I have a plan. In less than a year, the Central Plains will be returned to your majesty, and the people of Song Dynasty will shrink their heads."
I have no plan." Later he asked, "What plan do you have, if it is clever?" Wang Qin said, "I pretended to be from the south and threw myself in as a plan to advance. If it succeeds, I will know what is going on there and the number of soldiers."
We will secretly send people to report to Your Majesty the strength and weakness of the country and the interests of the country. Then, take advantage of the situation and raise the troops to go south. We can reap all the benefits. Why should the country be in trouble if it does not belong to Your Majesty?" After hearing the report, he said with great joy: "If
If it succeeds, I will seal you off as an important city in the Central Plains."
The next day, Empress Xiao discussed with the ministers, and Xiao Tianyou, the left prime minister, reported: "Wang Qin's plan is feasible, and I beg your majesty to allow it." The empress ordered it to be carried out. Wang Qin was ready and came to bid farewell to Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao saw it and said with a smile.
"It's no different for you to pretend to be a southerner. However, your departure must be kept secret." Wang Qin said, "I have my own strategy." After saying goodbye that day, he left Yanjing and headed towards Xiongzhou.
Let's say that Yang Yanzhao was heading to Xiongzhou. It was May and the weather was hot on the way. When he came to Lvwu Pavilion, he rested his walking stick and sat against the railing. After a while, he met a man coming, wearing a black gauze on his head and a
She was wearing a green robe, a double-whip yellow silk sash, and a pair of eight-bit green linen shoes, just like Confucian attire. As she approached the pavilion, Yan Zhao greeted him and bowed to him, saying, "Where do you come from, sir?" The man replied, "Little boy."
But he is from Shuozhou, his surname is Wang, his given name is Qin, and his given name is Zhaoji. He studied ancient and modern times since he was a child, and lived here. Now he is going to the Central Plains to seek a career, and I don’t want to meet you. Do you want to ask Gao’s name?” Yanzhao didn’t hide it, and he knew the whole story.
Let's talk about the grievances in our hearts. After Zhao Ji heard this, he said angrily: "If your father and your son are so loyal and loyal, and they are murdered, why don't you complain to the emperor to avenge their grievances, but only hurt yourself?" Yan Zhao said: "Xiao Xiao
But I am waiting to go to Beijing to make my case, but I am hesitating because no one is willing to make the imperial edict." Zhao Ji said: "This is not a difficult matter. Since I have been wronged, I should use all my knowledge to do it for you.
." Yanzhao bowed down and said, "If you are willing to support me, it will be a great blessing." Then he invited Zhaoji to the post and prepared wine to treat him.
At the banquet, Yan Zhao told him about his daily affairs. Zhao Ji couldn't stop sighing, so he asked: "Who should be the culprit in your report?" Yan Zhao said: "Recruit Pan Renmei's subordinates Liu Junqi, Coach Mi and others.
, the mastermind plotted to harm my father and son, so it is difficult for several people to let him go." Zhao Ji said what he said, so he copied out the draft and handed it to Yan Zhao to see. The result was passionate words and tactful condolences. Yan Zhao saw it and was happy.
He said: "This is enough to avenge my grievance." In the wine stall, Zhaoji said goodbye to Yanzhao and left. Yanzhao said: "I will meet you in Bianjing." Zhaoji promised.
After the two parted, Yanzhao wrote his petition in a clear and clear way and went to Kyoto. The detectives who did not want to arrest him reported the news to Pan Renmei. Renmei was shocked and summoned Liu Junqi and others for discussion. Junqi said: "The one who strikes first will control."
People should be controlled by those who develop late. It is better to write a memorial and tell Yang Ye and his son to take credit and fight greedily. They have almost defeated the state affairs. Now Yanzhao has escaped from the army again. When the emperor hears the memorial, he will be punished first." Renmei said:
"This is a very clever plan." That day he made a report to the imperial court.
On that day, Yang Yanzhao came to the capital. Just as the Seventh King Yuan Kan was leaving the court, Yanzhao took out the imperial certificate and stopped him to accuse him of grievances. He was arrested on both sides and was about to be tied up. The Seventh King shouted: "You are not allowed to move, and you are allowed to report."
." The attendant immediately accepted the imperial edict and brought it into the palace. Yanzhao followed the chariot to Renshou Palace and lay down at the foot of the steps. The seven kings reviewed the oral speech and then looked at it carefully. The words in it were clear.
He cut with a sharp knife and pen. He sighed and said: "The person who wrote this poem really has the talent to govern the world." Because he asked: "Whose hand did this look like?" Yanzhao did not dare to hide it, so he knew Wang Qin's origin from Dao. The seven kings were happy
He said: "Gu Zheng wants to get such a person. Since he comes to ask for admission, he should take advantage of him." He also asked: "Where is this person now?" Yan Zhao said: "He lives in Longjin Posthouse, East Jiaomen, Bianjing.
After the seven kings heard this, they said: "Your injustice is really an important matter for the country, and it is difficult to decide the question here. You can beat the hearing drum outside the gate and let the Holy One know about it, and then you can get the answer. Go as soon as possible."
Don't be caught by the traitor." Yanzhao took the royal decree, bowed to the seven kings, and walked out of the gate. The seven kings sent people to look for Wang Qin in the post without mentioning it.
It is only said that Yang Yanzhao came to the edge of the palace, beat the Dengwen drum, and said that he wanted to face the Holy Spirit and make a statement.
He was captured by the defenders and sent to the prison officer. The prison officer interrogated him and found out, and submitted the complaint to Taizong. Taizong laid the complaint on the imperial case and said: He complained about Yang Yanzhao, who had been wronged, and he was plotting to do harm and trap the entire army.
Deceiving the emperor and disturbing state affairs: My father Yang Ye was born in Taiyuan and served in Hedong for a long time. He was deeply favored by the late Emperor He and inherited the emperor's invitation. My father and son were loyal and willing to die. The recent cause was that the Khitan invaded the border and invaded Guazhou.
With Pan Renmei in charge of the defense, he was ordered to take charge of the charge. It was the night of the night and the day of food and clothing, and it was also the day when the border officials were exhausted. Unexpectedly, Pan Renmei harbored personal grudges and harbored evil intentions. She used a trick to send back the security officer.
He secretly challenged the enemy to fight by writing a letter. He forced the lone army to face danger and faked the emperor's order to facilitate his speech. The soldiers of Langya Village fought with horses, while the commander sat at a banquet and talked, without sending a single soldier to help. The Chen family Gu Ya tried his best and the generals
Then Wutun gathered and the whole army fell. My father Yang Ye sacrificed his life under the Li Ling monument, although it is natural for me to do so. My younger brother Yansi was shot by random arrows in the west wall camp, so why should I avenge myself!
He lost his master and humiliated the country, and allowed himself to destroy the Great Wall. He pretended to be guilty and was raped, and his thinking was blocked. He broke the nest without leaving the eggs intact, and sent strong soldiers to block the Yellow River. He cut the grass without teaching and spread, and he showed off his clever words to the Wei clan. It's pitiful.
The eight ministers, father and son, are loyal and diligent in serving the country. They want to repay your majesty, but they are trapped by the commander-in-chief. I am wandering alone, helpless and helpless. I beat the court drum to complain my grievances and beg for heaven's grace. If the envoy's father and brother are still alive,
, to your majesty, let the sun and the moon shine brightly, arrest the traitors, and clear up the deep grievances, so that those in Jiuquan can rest in peace, and I will die under the ground in Jiuquan without any regrets.
After Taizong saw the situation, he was very angry. Suddenly, Pan Renmei's seal was issued on the Privy Council's ultimatum, praising the reason why Yang Ye and his son missed the opportunity to ask for credit. Taizong received the memorial and pondered for a long time and said: "Pan Renmei said that Yang Ye was guilty of asking for credit, and Yang Yanzhao was benevolent.
There is a feeling of frame-up: each has his own opinion, which one is more important?" Nantai Yushi Huang Yuzou said: "The affairs outside the country are left to the commander-in-chief. If the orders cannot be implemented, how can we do things? Today, Yang Ye and his son have violated the orders and claimed credit.
As a result, the whole army was trapped, and it was his fault. Now he was massacred by the enemy, but he falsely accused the commander, which is disrespectful to your majesty. The dead man should be stopped, and Yang Yanzhao should be escorted out of the imperial court, and he should be executed clearly for his crime. "Pan Huang Jade Edition
My benevolent brother-in-law, I tried my best to save him. At that time, the eight kings rushed out and said: "Yang Ye and his son have made great contributions to the dynasty, and the late emperor treated them as no less important. Now they have been trapped by traitors. Your Majesty would rather not punish them."
How's that? I've known about this for a long time. Pan Renmei was detained in the Yamen of Fasi, where he had an official to talk to Yanzhao. He asked to understand, and he took it from the superior." According to the report, Taizong ordered Fu Dingchen, the political official, to consult, and asked Yanzhao.
The case of Pan Renmei.
After accepting the order, Dingchen opened the Yamen and detained Pan Renmei, Liu Junqi, Qin Zhaoqing, and Coach Mi at the door. Dingchen asked: "Pan Zhao used to treat his colleagues in the past, but now it is the king's order, and it is difficult to tolerate it."
Qing. If it violates the law, the reason for the punishment should be made clear, so that the use of criminal law is useless." Renmei said: "Xiao Ke accepted the emperor's order to defend against the Liao soldiers. The father and son missed the opportunity and were trapped, and instead framed us. If the court does not
After looking at the details and submitting to the position of commander-in-chief, how can future generations dare to take up such a position? I beg your lord for clear guidance, so as to apply for knowledge." Dingchen was speechless for a long time, and ordered a group of people to be detained in prison and retreated to the back hall.
Suddenly it was reported: "Mrs. Huang of the Pan Mansion sent her maid to say that she has confidential matters and wants to see the Lord." Ding Chen ordered him to enter the back hall. The maid knelt at the foot of the steps and said: "Madam, it's okay to ask the Taishi's question to the audience.
As a filial piety, I offer you a hundred taels of gold and a jade belt. I hope you will take good care of it and receive a big thank you." Dingchen was originally a profit-seeking person. When he saw this thing, he was so happy that he put it away and said to his maid:
"You have come to pay your respects to me, Madam. There is no need to worry about her. You will find your own way to participate in politics." The maid bowed and left.
Not wanting the Eight Kings to know about Ding Chen's wealth, and fearing that someone in the Pan family might spread the word, he secretly sent his men to search at the gate of the mansion. When they saw the maid entering the mansion, they reported it to the Eight Kings. The Eight Kings arrived immediately and caught him just outside the gate of the mansion.
The resident maid came into the back hall with a gold slip. When the ministers saw it, their faces turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly went down the steps to greet them. The eight kings said sternly: "You are an official for the court, why should you accept bribes from Pan Mansion privately, and kill Yang?"
Home?" Dingchen said: "The small official has no true feelings, why did Your Highness say this?" The Eight Kings then ordered their servants to strip the maid of the Pan Mansion down the stairs and torture her. The maid could not deny it, so she had to take action. The Eight Kings said angrily.
"How can Fu Shenzhen still argue?" Dingchen was speechless, took off his hat and belt, and fell down at the foot of the stairs to plead guilty.
The eight kings prepared their horses and immediately went to see Taizong and reported what had happened. Taizong was shocked and said: "If you had not had the foresight, you would have been betrayed by the traitor." He asked: "What crime should I be guilty of?" The eight kings said: "Privately accepting bribes.
, His actions have not yet been carried out, he should be punished by law, and he should be dismissed from office to serve the people." Taizong agreed to the memorial, and immediately issued an order to dismiss Dingchen from his official position and send him back to his hometown. The eight kings also reported: "Li Ji, the censor of Xitai
, Loyal and just, you can ask about the case of Renmei." The emperor agreed to report and ordered Li Jicheng to ask and implement it. Li Ji received the order, opened the censor's desk, and sat in the hall. The left and right officers were majestic, and they arranged torture instruments and the like.
Everyone is shocked. Exactly:
It is difficult to resist taboos in front of the palace of life and death, and there is no room for brooding on the stage of bloodshed and injustice.
At Yifu, the prison officer interrogated Renmei, and Yanzhao waited at the bottom of the stairs for interrogation. Renmei strongly urged: "Yang Ye died in the battle, and he has nothing to do with us." Li Ji said angrily: "You are the commander-in-chief, and you returned in defeat.
, On the contrary, he claimed that his own family died in battle. What crime did Yang Qilang have, and you shot him with random arrows? Once Fu joined the government, your future was ruined. I accept you well today and don't use torture tools. Otherwise, don't blame the subordinates for their cruelty.
"Renmei bowed her head and refused. Li Ji ordered the military academy to push Liu Junqi, Qin Zhaoqing, and Coach Mi into the corridor and tortured them to death. The three of them could not survive the past, so they had to confess the reasons for framing Yang Ye and shooting Qilang to death one by one. Officials
The Secretary submitted the case, and Li Ji recorded the case, and still imprisoned the prisoner until the order was issued.
Li Ji left the Yushitai. The next day, he reported to Taizong with his benevolent and beautiful move. Taizong looked at it and said angrily: "I have forgiven the emperor's meritorious officials many times because of my benevolence and beauty. Now I am insulting the law and not correcting his crime. How can I do it?"
Motivate the generals?" He asked the eight kings: "How should we punish him?" The eight kings reported: "Pan Renmei should be punished. Because of his concubine, your majesty reduced his rank to two and dismissed him from his post as a civilian. Liu Junqi, Qin Zhaoqing, Coach Mi, etc.
, who are guilty of conspiracy, they should also be executed, reduced by one rank, and sent to the frontier. Yang Yanzhao lost his military plane, so he asked where he was assigned to. The rest of the offenders will be punished according to the order." Taizong agreed to issue an edict, and Li Ji Zhao originally planned to send it.
After receiving the order, Lieutenant General Yu reviewed the document and deposed Renmei as a civilian. Liu Junqi asked the Zizhou Army, Qin Zhaoqing asked the Laizhou Army, Coach Mi asked the Mizhou Army, and Yang Yanzhao was assigned to Zhengzhou. The proposal was decided, and Liu Junqi and others were executed.
It's no big deal to set off as scheduled. Later generations said in "Ode to the Epic":
What is the benefit of the party's evil and harm to others? Let's try to match it with the king today.
The emperor has eyes and should be correct, but the only thing he needs to do is to delay the report.
The next day, Li Ji sent Renmei to report to the emperor. The emperor said to his ministers: "In the past, Yang Ye and his son made extraordinary achievements many times, but unexpectedly died in the king's affairs. I am very disappointed and want to express my kindness to him. Your Majesty.
Why wait?" Kou Zhun, a scholar of Zhizhi, said: "Your Majesty thinks of the meritorious officials to comfort his successors, and for the sake of the country, why not? Moreover, Yang Ye and his son are loyal and diligent to the country, and it is difficult for others and ministers. Now there is only Yan Yan.
When Zhao is still alive, it is appropriate to treat him generously and let the generals on the border know what he thinks." Taizong agreed and sent envoys to Zhengzhou to retrieve Yan Zhao and return him.
Suddenly, nearby ministers reported that Zhao Pu, the commander of Wu Shengjun's army, had died. Emperor Taizong was shocked when he heard the report and said to all the ministers: "Zhao Pu is able to handle major events and be loyal to the country. He is a true minister of the country." Kou Zhun said: "It is just as your Majesty said, ministers.
Waiting too much is not enough." According to Zhao Pu's nature, he is deep and resolute. Although he has many restraints, he can take the affairs of the world as his own responsibility. Therefore, he should be reprimanded, only follow the righteousness, practice martial arts and cultivate literature, be cautious in punishment and restraint, in order to establish a prosperous society.
His contribution to later generations is great. He had little practice in official affairs and little scholarship. Taizu encouraged him to study, so he did not let go of the scroll. Every time he returned to his private room, he closed the door and opened the box, picked up the book and recited it for the whole day. The next day, he went to the government to do things.
Ruliu. After his death, his family sent a basket to take the book and read it, which turned out to be twenty chapters of the Analects. He said to the emperor: "I have one part of the Analects, half of it will help Taizu to rule the world, and half of it will help your majesty to bring peace."
"During two dynasties, he never asked for favors for his children. He died at the age of seventy-one, and was given the posthumous title of Wen Gong and the title of King of Han.
At that time, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty had been in power for a long time and had not yet established the East Palace. Feng Ji and other officials begged to appoint the crown prince early. The emperor was angry and demoted him to Lingnan. There was no one at home or abroad who dared to speak out.
When the seven kings learned of the news, they secretly discussed it with their confidant Wang Qin, saying: "The king and his father are old, and he is not willing to establish a crown prince. The court officials advised him, so he was deposed. Is it because of the eight kings that they want to retaliate with the world? What if?
If you have this intention, then I am disappointed." Qin said: "What Your Highness said is exactly what I want. Your Majesty takes your last words as the most important thing and will definitely return the world to the eight kings. If you had planned it, you would not be able to bite your navel.
"The Seventh King said: "What can you tell me?" Qin said: "Unless you plot to kill His Highness the Eighth Highness, then everything will be settled." The Seventh King said: "The Eighth Highness, how can you find your father's love?" Qin said:
"I have a plan, but I wonder if Your Highness is willing to follow it?" The Seventh King said, "You will give it a try." Qin said, "You can call skilled craftsmen into the inner palace and make a mandarin duck wine flask that can store two types of wine. When encountering
In the spring scene, flowers are in full bloom, and the eight kings are specially invited to enjoy them in the back garden. The waiters are ordered to eat, and the waiters pour wine. First, the poisonous wine is hidden outside, and then the pure wine is put in. The eight kings drink it, and they die in less than half an hour. Some
Why is it so difficult?" When the seven kings heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "This is a wonderful plan. However, it must be carried out without delay." He then sent an army lieutenant to the west of the city to summon Hu Yinjiang into the mansion to make a mandarin duck pot.
Within a few days, the work was complete, and the silversmith presented the pot to the seven kings. The seven kings looked at it and found that it was so exquisite that no one could fathom it. He said to Wang Qin, "The utensils are complete. When should they be made?"
He said: "Your Highness will kill the craftsman first to kill his mouth." The seven kings reacted to this, and because they were rewarded with fine wine, they immediately became drunk.
I wrote an invitation to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and I will do this tomorrow." The Seventh King then sent a letter from an official to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and went to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to write a letter saying:
My younger brother Yuan Kan took advantage of the bright spring scenery and the fragrant flowers and willows. It was a good time for the imperial court to spend the day together with his brother. When I was riding in the back garden to watch movies, my concubine gave my brother a cup to repay the prosperity of the spring scenery.
After the Eighth Prince received the letter, he sent an order from the internal official to come tomorrow to attend the appointment. The internal official paid his respects and returned to see the Seventh King, knowing that His Highness the Eighth Prince agreed to attend the appointment. The Seventh King received the report and ordered the cooks to cook and prepare the banquet.
The next day, the Eighth Prince arrived, and the Seventh Prince went out to greet him. They went into the hall and sat down, each expressing their love for each other. After tea for three minutes, the two Kings came to the back garden, and they could only hear musicians, singers, and girls playing silk and bamboo music.
The Eight Kings and the Seven Kings sat across from each other. The Seven Kings smiled and said: "Brothers love each other and share the same joy. It is rare to have such a spring day, so I would like to spend a day with my brothers to comfort myself." The Eight Kings said with a smile:
