After Wu Qiudao obtained the Xuanyuan Mirror, he started practicing alone near Mei Island.
One is to monitor whether there are sharks appearing again to cause trouble. Although the entire sea water was emptied that day, it is estimated that the sharks will not be able to survive for a few people, but after all, Wu Qiudao cannot be sure, so he still keeps a look here first;
Secondly, he personally killed all the relatives of the original person, which was somewhat satisfying. He could maintain filial piety for a period of time. He couldn't do it in three years, but he could still do it in three months. He should settle the relationship for his predecessor.
As for the three, he now has very complicated emotions towards the Kunlun Sect, and he has lost his only restraint from his family. Rather than saying that he has clear ideas after resolving his previous relationship, it is better to say that when a person loses all social relations, he loses his position.
and a sense of belonging.
While Wu Qiudao was in seclusion and concentrating on his cultivation, the operation of the entire Tang Dynasty was still going on.
The young emperor Li Xuan had just ascended the throne and was still young, so he entrusted all political affairs to his ministers. However, the Nanya and Beishi were in conflict with each other, and the struggle in the court became more and more intense.
The official offices of the Tang Dynasty were in the imperial city, and the eunuch agencies were in the palace city. The imperial city was in the south, and the palace city was in the north. Therefore, the official offices of the Tang Dynasty were called Nanya, and the eunuch agencies were called Beisi. "Nanya" refers to the office headed by Prime Minister Zhongshu.
The civil service group, "Beisi" refers to the eunuch group headed by the Privy Councilor and the Lieutenant of the Forbidden Army.
The dispute between Nanya and Beishi has lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the power behind the struggle between political forces lies in their control of military power.
Because the Forbidden Army of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was also divided into Nan Ya and Bei Ya, which were under the jurisdiction of the Sixteenth Guards. Nan Ya was also called "Nanya", and its troops were divided into twelve guards and were under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office; Bei Ya was the Forbidden Army and had Yulin.
The four armies of Longwu, Shenwu and Shence are under the direct control of the emperor.
This kind of military system planning was originally quite reasonable, and was intended to "distinguish between civil and military forces and monitor each other." However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the command of the four imperial guards directly under the emperor's jurisdiction was gradually transferred to the eunuchs.
In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the two secret envoys and the two lieutenants of the Shence Army on the left and right, the four most important military attache positions in the Beiya, were all concurrently held by eunuchs. People at the time called them the "Four Nobles", and this also constituted the "Bei Si".
"The most basic internal framework.
How did things develop to this point step by step?
In the early Tang Dynasty, eunuchs were few and low-ranking; but starting from Xuanzong, the emperor became indifferent to political affairs, so he appointed eunuchs such as Gao Lishi to review memorials and began to participate in court affairs.
After the Anshi Rebellion, Daizong was the first to use eunuchs to serve as secret envoys; during Suzong, eunuchs were in charge of the imperial army, and eunuchs were in charge of the imperial army. This became customary; during Dezong, eunuchs were involved in the left and right Shence Army; during Xianzong, eunuchs could even
As a privy envoy, he overrides the power of the prime minister.
Due to the exclusive power of the eunuchs, there were fierce conflicts with the imperial power and the prime minister's power. Military coups such as the Yongzhen Revolution and the Manlu Revolution all occurred because of this. Shunzong, Xianzong, and Jingzong all died at the hands of eunuchs, while Mu Zong,
Wenzong, Wuzong, Xuanzong, the former emperor Yizong and the new emperor were all supported by eunuchs. It is obvious that their power is great and difficult to control!
Since the time of the late Emperor Yizong, the royal family's expenses have become more and more extravagant, while the vassal towns have continued to use troops, and the tax collection has become more urgent.
In addition to the continuous floods and droughts in Guandong, the local prefecture and county governors did not report the truth in order to keep their black hats on their heads. The officials protected each other and colluded with each other. Even if there were occasional memorials from good officials, the memorials were suppressed early.
Until the first month of the year, Lu Xie, a Hanlin scholar, directly submitted a memorial, asking the emperor to be merciful and issue an edict to waive the taxes owed by the people, stop tax collection in various places to wait for summer wheat, and order various places to go out to store grain to help the people to survive the famine years!
The emperor followed his instructions, but Yousi did not implement this decree, and it was just an empty letter.
In the same month, Lu Yan, the former prime minister who had colluded with the consort Wei Baoheng and ran rampant in government and opposition parties, was sentenced to death.
In February, the late emperor Yizong was buried in Jianling, and he became Emperor Zhaosheng, Gonghuixiao.
Liu Zhan, the governor of Guozhou, was recalled and appointed as the Minister of Punishment. Liu Zhan and Jingzhao Yin Wenzhang jointly interceded for the family members of the imperial doctor, which caused the anger of the first emperor. Later, Wen Zhang committed suicide and Liu Zhan was demoted.
People in Chang'an thought that Wen Zhang and Liu Zhan were very honest and loyal ministers. They were very happy when they heard that Liu Zhan was back. They even paid a hundred actors to perform operas on the road to welcome him. After Liu Zhan learned about it, he changed his return date and took another road.
Entering Chang'an.
Liu Ye, who was the Minister of Rites and the Salt and Iron Transport Envoy at the time, was horrified when he learned that Liu Zhan had returned. He had been recommended by Prime Minister Liu Zhan, but in order to please the late emperor, he worked with his consort Wei Baoheng and Prime Minister Lu Yan to frame Liu Zhan.
In May, the emperor appointed Liu Zhan as the minister of Zhongshu, and he became the new prime minister with Ping Zhangshi.
After seeing his benefactor Liu Zhanfu returned as prime minister, Liu Ye was afraid of the future reckoning, so he took the initiative to invite Liu Zhan to come to the Yantie Courtyard for a drink. On the day after the banquet, Liu Zhan fell ill and died. People at the time thought it was Liu Zhan who
Ye Zhen killed Liu Zhan.
Liu Ye's reputation became bad, so the new prime ministers did not like Liu Ye. Under their instructions, Liu Ye was sent out of Beijing in October and served as the military governor of Huainan.
On the winter solstice on November 5th, the ministers presented the title of the new emperor as "Holy God, Cong Rui, Benevolence, Philosophy and Filial Emperor", and the Emperor changed the name to the Qian Fu of the Yuan Dynasty.
In the same month, Wei Bo's Jiedushi envoy Han Yunzhong died, and the army was neutralized. His son Han Jian, the Jiedu deputy envoy, stayed behind for Wei Bo.
In the same month, Nanzhao sent troops to invade Xichuan. The governor of Lizhou led his army to resist, but reinforcements from Xichuan did not arrive for a long time, and the Dadu River army collapsed.
In December, Nanzhao took advantage of the victory and fell into Lizhou, entered Qiongxia Pass, and attacked Yazhou. The troops broke out at Dadu River and rushed into Qiongzhou. Chengdu was disturbed and the people fought to enter the city or rush north to other states. The emperor issued an edict to send troops to the east of Hedong and Shan
On the south-west road, Dongchuan troops came to the rescue, and Tianping Jiedu envoy Gao Pian was ordered to go to Xichuan to stop the barbaric attacks.
In the same month, Dangxiang and Uighurs attacked and harassed the German army.
In the same month, the Probationary Army reported that Pang Xun's remnants of his party were still looting everywhere, and the prefectures and counties were unable to stop them. The emperor ordered Yanhai and Tianping to send troops to conquer.
In the same month, Wang Shu, the governor of Shangzhou, said that the state treasury was empty and reduced the money of the people. The people were angry and rioted. They beat the governor with sticks and killed two officials. After the new governor Li Gao came to the official position, he arrested the common people Li Shuwen.
More than thirty people were beheaded.
Over the past year, war has spread all over the Tang Dynasty.
The taxes and servitude were heavy, coupled with the years of famine, the people were displaced and starved to death without any complaints, so they had to gather together as thieves, and the uprising army sprang up. There were few soldiers in the prefectures and counties, and as the peace lasted for a long time, the soldiers had forgotten how to fight. Every day
When they met the rebels, the officers and soldiers were mostly defeated.
In this year, Wang Xianzhi from Puzhou gathered thousands of people and set out at Changyuan, calling himself "General Tianbu Jianjun".
At the end of the first year of Qianfu in the turbulent Tang Dynasty, heavy snow suddenly fell on Mei Island in the South China Sea. Wu Qiudao, who was devoted to practicing in seclusion, realized that time flew by and a year had almost passed.
He thought for a moment that there was really no place to go, so he packed up his things and headed for Kunlun Mountain.
