Who dares to refuse to comply with His Majesty Li Er's instructions?
Although Fang Jun was helpless, he had to show his conscientious attitude. No matter whether he could solve the case or not, he would first package himself as "Detective Di Renjie"...
When talking about Zhang Shigui in the early Tang Dynasty, people will naturally think of the treacherous official in the popular novel "Xue Rengui's Conquest of the East". Therefore, Zhang Shigui has always played a very disgraceful role among the people. The real Zhang Shigui in history is not only not a treacherous official, but also a traitor.
He is still as famous as Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and others as a loyal minister and good general. There is no evidence that his son-in-law He Zongxian pretended to take Xue Rengui's credit. It is purely false.
In fact, there is another figure in history who was completely overturned, and that was Pang Ji in the Song Dynasty - known as "Tai Shi Pang" by people in the world!
Pang Ji fought with the generals of the Yang family, from Yang Linggong to Yang Wenguang, for four generations! He fought with the Eight Wise Kings and Wu Lian Wang; he fought with Zhang San, Prime Minister Li Sishang Shu; he fought with Bao Qingtian, from "Young Bao Qingtian" to "Old Man"
"Bao Qingtian", true life and struggle are endless...
In fact, this Pang Ji was a very strong and upright man, with great military and political talents, and he recommended Di Qing.
It is estimated that Zhang Shigui, like Pang Ji in the Song Dynasty, are the two people most smeared by the novels...
In Wubenfang, Guo Guogong's mansion, Fang Jun saw this fierce general.
Zhang Shigui is already over fifty this year, but he shows no sign of aging. When Fang Jun arrived, Zhang Shigui was sitting in the living room, with two thick arms exposed, and the tendon meat on his body was firm and bulging, which was stronger than usual.
The young men are all fit and strong.
He was probably not wearing armor when he was stabbed, so he was hit in the shoulder by a crossbow arrow, which penetrated his body and caused a penetrating wound. However, the crossbow arrow was also caught between the shoulder blades.
The doctor had just cut off the crossbow arrow cluster, and then pulled out the arrow shaft from the wound, blood spurting out.
Although the general turned pale in pain and was sweating coldly, he was still chatting and laughing: "Haha, it's Fang Erlang who is here. Our house is really shining, isn't it? But Li Junxian, didn't you just interrogate me?
Why are you here again, old man?"
Fang Jun admired this strong old guy very much and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty was extremely angry when the general was assassinated this time. It happened that the junior made a small mistake and the young man was caught... Your Majesty has a purpose, why?
The assassin was captured at that time, and when will the junior be able to go home, so I have to trouble the general again and ask about the situation at that time."
Zhang Shigui burst out laughing: "Small mistake? Fang Erlang, please stop being modest. If you don't move, you will make a big noise!" Looking at Fang Jun's embarrassed expression, he suddenly sighed and said: "But
It's just a minor injury. I was bleeding a lot when I was charging into battle. Why do you care about this little thing? It does make His Majesty worried..."
Fang Jun said seriously: "Your Majesty's concern for the general is indeed the envy of the younger generation!"
The name Zhang Shigui is indeed not as well-known as Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji and other famous generals in later generations, but in this era, he is a well-deserved ace general!
During the six major battles in which the Li and Tang dynasties unified the country, Zhang Shigui followed Li Shimin in four battles and made outstanding military exploits for the unification of the Tang dynasty. In the test of war, Zhang Shigui gradually became Li Shimin's confidant and was subsequently
Awarded to the Qin Palace Hussar General.
In the Battle of Xuanwu Gate, he guarded His Majesty Li Er and killed countless enemies.
After His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, he ordered Zhang Shigui to be the "Commander of Xuanwu Clan", and soon he was transferred to "General of the Youtun Guard, and was also entrusted with the post of Northern Army." He still served as the commander of Xuanwu Clan, that is, the commander of the Imperial Guard.
The success or failure of all the central political revolutions in the Tang Dynasty was determined by the military success or failure of the Xuanwu Gate, the north gate of the palace city, and the power of the Northern Army to rule was actually the entrustment of the central government. This shows that His Majesty Li Er's trust and respect for Zhang Shigui
.
In the early years of Zhenguan, the country was harmonious and the situation was stable. There was only one thing that made His Majesty Li Er "restless and unwilling to eat." This was the threat from the Turks. In order to completely defeat this serious threat, Taizong "invited the generals of the cavalry to
When Zhang Shigui is the best archer among the generals in the early Tang Dynasty, and he is the head of the Xuanwu Sect, it is logical that he will be responsible for the daily teaching tasks.
.
During the Yonghui period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, after Zhang Shigui retired, the man who succeeded him in guarding the Xuanwu Gate was named Xue Rengui...
Zhang Shigui shook his head, resisting the pain of the doctor cleaning the window for him, and said: "I won't mention those things anymore. If you have any questions, Erlang, it's okay to ask. There is nothing taboo about me, and I will tell you everything I know!"
Fang Jun secretly admired in his heart that he was indeed an upright person, at least it seemed that way...
In fact, Li Junxian had just asked all the questions he wanted to ask and recorded them in detail. Fang Jun could just go back and read them.
But Fang Jun has a question.
"I heard that the general suppressed Shanliao's rebellion twice?"
"Indeed!" Zhang Shigui was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Erlang doesn't think it's the remnants of his colleagues who are here to take revenge, right?"
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Zhang Shigui led his troops to quell the rebellion of Shanliao in western Zhejiang. Because the rebels were mostly based in mountain villages and caves, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, the battle was very difficult. Because Zhang Shigui personally took the risk and fought bravely, the soldiers under his leadership
He also showed great bravery and finally quelled the riot. Zhang Shigui's outstanding performance also moved the local officials, who wrote a memorial and reported to the court.
At the celebration banquet for Zhang Shigui's return to the capital, His Majesty Li Er once said to him emotionally: "I heard that my father-in-law is a target and he is the first to fight for his soldiers. Although he is a famous general in ancient times, why should he be added to it? I have heard that those who serve the country with their own lives do not care about their lives.
But after hearing his words, I haven’t heard the truth, and it will be exposed to the public.”
In the eighth year of Zhenguan, the Li people in the area under the jurisdiction of the Anzhou Dudufu launched another rebellion under the instigation of a few reactionary chiefs. This time, the imperial court sent Zhang Shigui to go out to quell the violence. When the army marched to Xuanzhou, the rebels heard that
It was Zhang Shigui who came, and the "barbarians fled" and collapsed without a fight.
When the good news reached the capital, His Majesty the Emperor Li Er was overjoyed and "he was awarded the title of General of the Youtun Guard and changed to the title of Duke of Guo."
How could Fang Jun know if some member of the military wanted to assassinate Zhang Shigui?
But just now in the Dragon Palace, he heard that Shan Liao was showing signs of rebellion again, and he felt that maybe the Liao people were secretly stirring up trouble.
If it was really Liao people who did it, then there is a motive. Zhang Shigui suppressed Shan Liao's rebellion twice, and his hands were stained with the blood of many Liao people, and how many Liao people's heads were cut off. The Liao people must hate him deeply and want to
Remove it quickly.
"I'm just a little curious. After hearing about the great general's majesty back then, the younger generation yearned for him!" Fang Jun flattered him.
Zhang Shigui was obviously very impressed and laughed and said: "Integrity is old, a good man should not mention his bravery in the past, it doesn't matter if he doesn't mention it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't mention it!"
At this time, the doctor bandaged Zhang Shigui's wound and walked out with a tray, but was stopped by Fang Jun.
Fang Jun picked up the arrow shaft in the tray and looked at it, and then carefully inspected the arrow cluster. He was also the young supervisor of the weapons supervisor, and he didn't know anything about the weapons made by the weapons supervisor. The arrow cluster was on
There is a secret note from the Ordnance Inspector, and it must have been produced by the Ordnance Inspector.
This will make it easier to handle. If a crossbow is lost among the people, there are still traces of this kind of thing.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Shigui and coming out, Fang Jun followed Li Junxian out of the North City through Fanglin Gate, and went around in a circle into the West Inner Garden to the north of the palace.
Xuanwu Gate is in the West Inner Garden, from which you can directly enter Taiji Palace.
The Xuanwu Gate at night is majestic and powerful!
At that time, there were swords and blood, and brothers were fighting against each other. His Majesty Li Er ascended to the great treasure of the Ninth Five-Year Plan through a coup here, and initiated the "Reign of Zhenguan", becoming the emperor of the ages.
In fact, Xuanwu Gate had three mutinies in the Tang Dynasty, which truly made Xuanwu Gate a gate of coups, bloodshed, and danger.
The second Xuanwumen Mutiny was launched eighty-one years later in the first year of Emperor Jinglong of Tang Dynasty by Prince Li Chongjun.
Li Chongjun led the Yulin Army general Li Duozuo and others into the palace from Suzhangmen in the south of Taiji Palace, intending to kill Empress Wei, Princess Anle and Shangguan Wan'er in one fell swoop. However, after Empress Wei, Princess Anle took Zhongzong hostage and boarded Xuanwu.
At the Gate Tower, they took the emperor as a hostage and forced the sergeants led by the prince to rebel and surrender under a strong counterattack, but failed miserably.
The third Xuanwumen Mutiny still took place during the reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty. The powerful Wei family only enjoyed the fruits of victory for just three years before Li Longji executed them all in a new round of Xuanwumen mutiny, both inside and outside the palace.
The Webster Party members were also eradicated in one fell swoop.
From then on, Li Longji stepped onto the political stage and later created the "Kaiyuan Dynasty".
There were three Xuanwumen mutinies, one failed and two succeeded, and those who succeeded both times created the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.
This can't help but give people an illusion. Could it be that if you break through this dangerous and ominous door, you will fly to the sky and show your great ambitions?
