"With the talent of loyal heirs, the battle will be broken, the attack will be conquered, the stone fort will be improperly killed, and the high horse will be directly used to empty the capital, and the chaos in The LuShan Mountain will be cute, which can be described as a deep plan." However, he could not be exempted from slander, and he died and let himself go. Since ancient times, loyal and virtuous, the work of the country is clumsy, and it is more than enough to win! - New Book of Tang
In the popular drama "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", it is mentioned that a Jiedu envoy of Weizhen Border Pass was based on Wang Zhongsi, the first marshal of the Tang Dynasty. The above passage is a summary of his life, he bravely won the three armies, full of wisdom and scheming, single-mindedly serving the country but clumsily plotting for himself, so that he was framed by adulterers and ended up depressed.
Meritorious service
Wang Zhongsi's father, Wang Haibin, was also a brave general, and was jealous of a handful of generals for his outstanding performance when he followed Xue Dingshan (Xue Dingshan is a fictional character) in his campaign against Tubo. In one battle, these people deliberately did not support, and Wang Haibin, who was fighting alone, was killed in a bitter battle. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, in order to reward his loyal subjects, adopted him as a righteous son and raised him in the palace. Wang Zhongsi, who lost his father and grew up in the palace, did not wear down his will, and he worked hard in his personal martial arts and battle strategy. Li Longji saw that he worked harder, and when he grew up, he gave him a chance to show himself.
Opportunity is opportunity for those who are prepared, and Wang Zhongsi is a person who is prepared. His first chance was to go to the border plug to serve (Dai Zhou Bei), as his emperor's son, he could have hidden in the city and gilded, but he did not, he often went out to fight with the surrounding enemies. Later, Li Longji was afraid that he had lost (after all, it was the remains of a martyr), so he summoned him back. However, Wang Zhongsi was bent on revenge on his father, always looking for an opportunity to kill ben on the front line, and Li Longji did not really want to raise him as a bean sprout in the greenhouse, so he had to fulfill his wish.
Wang Zhongsi, who returned to the front line, was like a fierce tiger returning to the mountain, and the wolf line dawned. According to historical records, he bravely broke into the enemy position many times, and with his crotch off his horse and a knife in his hand, he killed Tubo in horror. (Wang Zhongsi)
Lift the knife
rob
Array, behead thousands of people, get thousands of sheep and horses
”“
Zhongsi marched on a single horse, rushing left and right, killing hundreds of people alone
After fighting Tubo, he was still not soft on the new enemy Turks, but at this time Wang Zhongsi not only relied on force, he also used scheming, under his counter-plan and fast horse hard knife, the Turks soon lost their covetousness for the border he guarded.
If it was only "this point" of credit, the Song Dynasty Luo Dajing would never exaggerate him as the first handsome talent of the Tang Dynasty ("
The only Han Zhao Chongguo, the only Tang Wang Zhongsi, the only Cao Bin in this dynasty, there are three generations of generals.
”）。 Although he has since faded the youthful youth (only relying on his fists to speak) and become more calm (more strategic and team combat), the road to opening and hanging has not stopped, and he has successively served as the emissary of the four towns of Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang, and Hedong. At this time, he no longer needed Tang Xuanzong's poor martyr orphans, but the pillars of the country that could shield the Tang Dynasty from the wind and rain. (Camel inexplicably thought of a sentence, in the past I was proud of being a Datang person, and today Datang is proud of having me.) ）
Evil is born within
As the saying goes"
To be able to be tempered by heaven as a tough guy and not to be jealous is a mediocre talent
Wang Zhongsi is not a mediocre, so he will definitely be jealous. The first person to be jealous of him was his comrade-in-arms Emperor Fuweiming. Wang Zhongsi and Emperor Fu Weiming were both good friends of Li Heng, the King of Zhong, but Emperor Fu Weiming had falsely accused Wang Zhongsi, so that Wang Zhongsi was degraded, and if It were not for The fact that Wang Zhongsi's father was Li Longji, and he really had the ability, he might have been abolished directly. In addition to Emperor Weiming, Dong Yanguang was also jealous of him in the army, because on the issue of Shibao City, Wang Zhongsi did not approve of Hard Gang, and Dong Yanguang was bent on fighting, and after the defeat, Dong Yanguang put the responsibility on Wang Zhongsi.
If these two colleagues had been jealous of him, Wang Zhongsi would not have fallen so quickly (but judging from his father's experience and similar things in history, sooner or later he would still have problems). The last straw that overwhelmed the camel came from the traitorous minister Li Linfu, who, as a civilian official, had been in the bureaucracy for a long time and knew how to strike the enemy most effectively. He did not accuse Wang Zhongsi militarily, but Wang Zhongsi put on a hat of colluding with the prince and disrespecting Xuanzong. As an emperor, especially an emperor who has undergone many coups, the most untouchable scale in his heart is that the prince may affect his throne. (He once killed Crown Prince Li Ying)
It was Wang Zhongsi who was unsurprisingly convicted, and if it were not for the reasoning of his younger brother Ge Shuhan (Ge Shuhan was promoted by Wang Zhongsi), Wang Zhongsi might have been fatally struck. However, Wang Zhongsi's death penalty was evaded, but he was still exiled by degraded officials, and soon after he died violently in office. (When he saw the violent death, the camel's mood was very troubled.) By the way, Wang Zhongsi's daughter is called Wang Yunxiu, and his son-in-law is a generation of greedy Yuanzai, which is very consistent with the TV series).
brief summary
Wang Zhongsi's experience is not very happy, but it is precisely because in history, there are countless people like Wang Zhongsi."
If you work for the country, you will be clumsy
"People, only we are today, they are the backbone of history, they should not be forgotten."
