Chapter 36 The Three Parties in the Temple
Pei Min has been in this dream world for more than a month, but there are only two people who have truly met in history: one is the general Huzi, Xue Na, who guards the side of the country, and the other is Pei Xingben, the former prime minister of Pei Min's college. Pei Min has no extra emotions for them. Although Xue Na is not as brave as his father Xue Rengui, he is worthy of his father's name. Pei Xingben is even more awesome and has served as the assistant minister who is in charge of the world. The key is that they all die in vain and die of old age. Their life can be said to be without regrets.
But Yan Gaoqing, who appeared in front of Pei Min at this moment, was not like that.
Yan Gaoqing was born in a family of literary and scholars. He was upright and talented. When he was a military officer in Weizhou, he was very proud of his principles and governed political affairs. The political achievements he had made were unparalleled in the Tang Dynasty and was named the No. 1. Such a person had a bright future. He entered the capital and was just around the corner. However, because of the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan rebelled in Fanyang. Yan Gaoqing was the prefect of Changshan at that time, and the land under his jurisdiction was under the control of An Lushan.
Yan Gaoqing was loyal and righteous. Even though he was in the bandits, he still raised an army to kill the rebel generals for the sake of righteousness in his heart, organized the rebel army, divided the troops to restrain An Lushan, and blocked An Lushan's return path in order to alleviate the momentum of An Lushan's attack to the west.
Yan Gaoqing used his life to buy time for Li Tang, and he did it. An Lushan was leading his army to invade westward at that time, and had already arrived in Shan County, intending to break Tongguan and go straight to Chang'an. He heard that there was a change in Hebei and was forced to return to his army. He ordered Shi Siming and Cai Xide to lead his army to cross the Yellow River north and attack Changshan.
Yan Gaoqing was surrounded by enemies, Changshan fell and captured Shi Siming to Luoyang. Yan Gaoqing was a modest scholar, but cursed at An Lushan. An Lushan was furious and someone dismembered Yan Gaoqing's limbs to eat. Yan Gaoqing cursed endlessly. An Lushan cut Yan Gaoqing's tongue again, but he still cursed vaguely until he died.
Wen Tianxiang's righteous spirit song said: "It's Zhang Suiyang's teeth, and it's Yan Changshan's tongue."
How can such a character not be admired?
Pei Min thought about Yan Gaoqing's deeds and hurriedly replied to greet him.
As the master, Yuan Luqian invited the two to the table and sit down.
There were no seats in the Tang Dynasty but only couches, which were low wooden platforms with mats and bedding on them. They sat on them to take off their boots. The two of them came to greet each other barefoot before, but because they took off their boots in advance.
As a later generation, Pei Min always thinks that someone has serious athlete's foot in his mind. What should I do? Should I take it off or not?
In fact, he was completely overthinking. Most of the boots in the Tang Dynasty were woven with brocade, hemp, silk, silk and other fabrics, and there were also boots made of cattails. The biggest effect of this type of shoes is excellent breathability and the chance of athlete's foot is slim.
Pei Min knelt on the couch, Yuan Luqian and Yan Gaoqing began their original topic again.
Yuan Luqian was originally a descendant of an official, but his family was in decline only because his parents died. Yan Gaoqing was even a descendant of Wenshu. His family had been officials for generations. The former was determined to revitalize his family business, and the other inherited his ancestral business. Both of them had ambitions and were ambitions, and they were talking about some things in the court. In later generations, people of the same age said that games, movies and even star-chasing were fashionable, while scholars in ancient times regarded commenting on government affairs as fashionable. Especially after Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was the best at accepting advice, opening up the road to speak, and not asking for guilt with words.
Yan Gaoqing came to find Yuan Luqian in a special way to get him. Yan Gaoqing's father was the governor of Haozhou and had a family relationship and had been recommended as an official and was about to take office soon. Yuan Luqian's parents were close friends with Yan Gaoqing's parents. When they were young, they started playing and studying.
Yan Gaoqing knew that Yuan Luqian was very talented and planned to take him as his deputy, so he had reliable arms and could do his best.
Yuan Luqian said: "If it were Brother Xin's invitation, I would not dare to refuse. But I recently met Brother Pei, and compared with him, I feel ashamed of myself. Bai Xu is several years older, but I am far less courageous than Brother Pei. With my own ability, I can make a career in a career that will last for men."
Pei Min shook his head and said, "I don't agree with Brother Yuan's statement. Only those who are capable and prepared can seize opportunities. They are obviously capable and have the opportunity, but they are far away from the near and far. It is really unreasonable. Compared to taking the scientific examination, I think practice is the beginning of real experience. The books of sages teach the principles of being a human being, and practice is the real talent and learning that is beneficial to the world. Being able to get in touch with practice earlier is far more effective than taking the scientific examination. Brother Yuan should not learn from me. I want to compete for my mother's tone. If you learn from me, you will be angry with yourself."
Yuan Luqian was stunned.
Yan Gaoqing laughed "haha" when he heard this: "Brother Pei is really a wonderful person, why are you hesitating about? We all know your knowledge, why do you have to prove yourself in anger?" He sighed: "Besides, the imperial examination is not that easy to take. The current situation in Chang'an is complicated and can be said to be undercurrents. It is not easy to take the high school entrance exam, but you will fall into the undercurrent vortex. Without the ability to turn around, it will be difficult to break free."
Yuan Luqian said strangely: "What do you mean? Wei family, Wu family's remnants have not been eradicated, and the new emperor is wise and magical, so he should be in trouble."
Pei Min also listened attentively. March tomorrow will be the spring examination. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be in Chang'an and is naturally very concerned about the situation in Chang'an. Yan Gaoqing was born in Jingzhao for ten thousand years and grew up in Chang'an since childhood. He is also influenced by the children of officials. He must have a very good understanding of the situation in Chang'an.
Yan Gaoqing shook his head and said, "Wei family, the remnants of Wu family have indeed been removed, but it is not easy for the Chaogang to recover. There are three parties in the temple today, among which the Taishang Emperor Yi Party is the strongest, followed by the Taiping Princess Yi Party, and next is the imperial party of the new emperor."
"This" Yuan Luqian was a little shocked when he heard it. Party struggles have never been avoided throughout the ages. Whether the harm of party struggles can be minimized, or even turned harm into profits, depends entirely on whether the emperor's methods are clever enough, and whether the trade-offs and weighing skills are clever enough. Because the emperor's power is greater than that, no matter what the party struggles, the strength of this imperial party should be the greatest, and how it is the weakest now.
Because Pei Min has memories of later generations, he is already prepared for this strange situation. The culprit that caused this is Princess Taiping, who is stronger than the Imperial Party!
As the daughter of Wu Zetian, the first empress in history, Princess Taiping is almost the same as her mother. The powerful Lai Junchen designed to eliminate it, kill the two Zhangs and support Li Xian to force Wu Zetian to abdicate, eliminate the Wei family members, eliminate the remnants of the Wu family, and eliminate the mastermind. Li Chongmao was the throne she took down by herself.
