preface:
As we all know, Lingyan Pavilion was built by Tang Taizong Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty, specifically to place portraits of heroes to commemorate the outstanding deeds of heroes, and there are a total of twenty-four heroes here. It is reasonable to say that the title of meritorious person should be proud of it, but most of the Tang Dynasty who was named "meritorious" could not end well. Even more, he was even labeled as a "rebel" and brutally killed.
What is particularly ironic is that the eldest grandson of Ling Yange, who ranks first, was convicted of conspiracy to rebel, and the end was so tragic. It can be seen from this that giving a meritorious name is only a consolation for posterity.
Among them, there is also a hero named Xu Maogong, who is dead but because of the crime of treason, even if he dies, he will be opened to the coffin and whipped the corpse, which is really a big fool in the world. However, this is not the most tragic, today I want to introduce to you, that is, one of the most tragic heroes of Ling Yange, his righteous son and his wife committed adultery, but he was accused of plotting rebellion and was exterminated. So who is this person? What about his deeds?
1. Survivors of the troubled world
The hero's name is Zhang Liang, his encounter is very strange, he is also like many famous people in ancient times, like to recognize the righteous son, do dry father, but his experience of this dry father is extremely poor, alive by his own righteous son with a green hat, although he is not famous in history, but his experience is worth saying.
First of all, let's talk about Zhang Liang's life, he was originally a farmer, and if there is no accident, he may spend his life farming at home. However, at that time, it was the war in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, and the so-called chaotic world produced heroes, Zhang Liang happened to go to the Wagangzhai uprising, and the failure of the uprising was not only not beheaded, but also adopted by the Tang For his own use. Zhang Liang was also fortunate to become Li Shimin's confidant, when Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were fighting non-stop.
Zhang Liang was ordered by Li Shimin to secretly go to Luoyang to contact Hao Jie in Shandong, hoping to move Luoyang for his own use, but the plan was accidentally revealed, Zhang Liang was arrested by Li Jiancheng and others, but Zhang Liang still had a backbone, and no matter how the other party threatened and seduced, he did not reveal Li Shimin's half plan.
Even if Zhang Liang's ability is not outstanding, Li Shimin has taken a fancy to Zhang Liang's loyalty and does not hesitate to list him as one of the twenty-four heroes. It can be said that Zhang Liang is not only a survivor of the chaotic world, but also a luck king of the chaotic world.
2. Self-inflicted and self-inflicted by the defendant for rebellion
Although Zhang Liang became a hero of the Tang Dynasty smoothly, his style of life was really unbearable. After Zhang Liangfei Huang Tengda, he abandoned his original wife in the countryside and sought him out. Although this new lover Li Shi was born delicate and beautiful, she was also a debauched woman in her bones.
When Zhang Liang was busy, Li Shi was still privately unclear with people, and later when the matter was revealed, Li Shi actually asked Zhang Liang to adopt this person as a righteous son, so as not to damage his face. This strange shame and great humiliation have changed to today's people can't stand it, let alone the ancient people? However, Zhang Liang's tolerance for Li Shi was really unimaginable, and he actually agreed to accept Li s lover as a righteous son, anyway, he also accepted no less than five hundred righteous sons, and there would be nothing wrong with one more. And it was these five hundred righteous sons who eventually pushed Zhang Liang to the point of rebellion.
Although Zhang Liang was not strong in ability, he was a person who knew the times, and at that time, Hou Junji and Li Chengqian were unclear, and Zhang Liang immediately made a small report to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was most afraid of this kind of thing, and immediately beheaded Hou Junji.
However, the feng shui took turns, because Zhang Liang's righteous son received too much, he was accused of plotting against him and wanted to raise troops to rebel. Coupled with Li's fondness to befriend wizards, which was something that the king feared, Li Shimin recognized that Zhang Liang had the intention of rebellion, so he cut him off together.
epilogue:
Before Zhang Liang died, he even sighed with some regret, he knew that there was today's end, he should have been a farmer at that time, after all, it was power and status that tempted people's hearts, how did Zhang Liang not want to restrain his desire when he flew Huang Tengda, and at this time he began to regret it? It can be seen that power is lethal to people.
