My title preset, most people think at a glance is the bird full of bow hidden premise, according to logic, that city gate official is of course dead or dead?
Isn't this the fate of Chinese history? But that was the fate of other dynasties, and in the Tang Dynasty, there was really no need to worry about this problem.
Before answering the question, tell a story to understand why Datang is like this.
It is said that when Li Shimin sent Li Jing to send troops to the Turks, as soon as he reported the revenge of Weishui, he was humiliated by the Turkic soldiers in the city, and Li Jing's army returned with a great victory, and after returning to the army, it was bound to be a big feast.
Li Shimin, who was extremely happy at the banquet, actually sang and danced in front of everyone and danced a swing dance, and The Emperor Li Yuan did not hesitate to let go, playing the dear loquat and using the sound of his own musical instrument to cooperate with Li Shimin's heavenly dance.
(Emperor of the Tang Dynasty)
Such a move, two generations of emperors, after the victory, performed, throughout the five thousand years of China, it is estimated that it is rare, this is the origin of the Tang temperament.
Singing and dancing in front of their own people is not an ugly sacrifice, but a kind of inclusive atmosphere, self-confidence and extraordinary performance, the purpose of this story is mainly to say that the Tang Dynasty temperament, every dynasty has temperament, and this temperament comes from the founder and the emperor who made this dynasty great.
The Han Dynasty was magnificent and atmospheric, because of emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty Wenfeng was at its peak, because song Taizu Yang Wen suppressed martial arts.
The Ming Dynasty was fierce and stubborn, and because Ming Taizu was poor and white.
It is precisely the tolerant atmosphere and extraordinary self-confidence of the Tang Dynasty that determines that most of his heroes are treated kindly.
Returning to the theme itself, we are looking at the ending of the city gate officer.
This city gate official, named Chang He, Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng respectively, now let us turn back the time to the moment of the change of Xuanwu Gate a thousand years ago.
(A Xuanwu Gate, the Birth of an Emperor)
The xuanwumen coup was undoubtedly a sinister political coup in which Li Shimin's royal family members were undoubtedly the main force, and countless people were rewarded for it.
For example, Wei Chi Jingde, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhan, Hou Junji, Cheng Yaojin, and even Qin Shubao, who did not personally participate in the coup, were given 500 households.
Knighthoods that are all dripping. On merit and reward!
However, in the coup d'état, none of these people actually had a key person, that is, the city gate official Chang He, who is Chang He? At that time, xuanwu gate guard general, Xuanwu gate city gate lang, official position liupin.
Looking at the official position is only six pins, but the effect is very large, almost determining the success or failure of the Xuanwumen Mutiny.
In the face of such a crucial person, Li Shimin had actually laid the groundwork for himself a long time ago, that is, to win over Chang He. And this foreshadowing was actually very good for Li Shimin, because Chang He had long been a subordinate of Li Shimin, and later promoted to the general of Xuanwu Gate Guard.
Because of this relationship, chang he turned to Li Shimin of course very reasonable. But xuanwumen still have two key figures, Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng.
For these two people, Li Shimin did not vigorously co-opt, and I think this is the reason why he is smart, the less confidential things people know, the better, and the more people who know, the easier it is to have problems. The so-called conspiracy is not secret, and you lose yourself.
(A bowl of water is not flat Li Yuan is also helpless)
And what was the situation on the day of XuanwuMen? Let's keep watching!
In fact, the change of Xuanwumen was originally a political duel between you and me, when Li Shimin was ordered by Li Yuan to go to the palace, and this time to go to the palace was a feast at the Hongmen Gate, waiting for him was a confrontation meeting between the three brothers, under the presidency of li Yuan, who had a partial heart, Li Shimin knew that he would absolutely be hollowed out after the meeting and had nothing, so he still decided to launch a coup d'état.
Therefore, early in the morning of the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin alone took more than a dozen henchmen to Xuanwu Gate to fight an ambush, waiting for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to come.
As a general defending the city, Chang He was also well aware of this, and did not make special arrangements but just always paid attention to the trend of the situation, and Li Shimin, who was waiting for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to come, had already made up his mind to kill the two brothers.
When Li Jiancheng Li Yuanji came to xuanwu gate and walked like inside, Chang He, who was always observing the development of events, began to act, he closed the door of Xuanwu gate, and saw that the door was closed. Li Jiancheng, who walked to the Lakeside Hall, was not stupid, he knew that there was something wrong, so he pulled out his leg and left, and also beckoned Li Yuanji to follow him.
(Li Shimin's Hand Blade Brothers)
However, it is not easy to come and go, Li Shimin, who has long been well prepared, still takes care of brotherly love, and when he goes up, he kills Li Shimin with an arrow, and then the fierce lieutenant Chi Jingde also shoots Li Yuanji mercilessly. The injured Li Jiancheng still wanted to say something, but he was given a KO by his own brother Li Shimin without saying anything.
Such an unexpected situation could not be concealed, and the news of Li Jiancheng's killing of Li Yuanji was soon known to the generals of the Crown Prince's Mansion and the Qi Dynasty. Of course, it is to bring troops to retaliate, so a fight is inevitable,
The Yiwei cavalry generals Feng Li, Xue Wanche, and Xie Shufang rushed to the scene of the Xuanwumen Rebellion with the Changlin army in a hurry, and prepared to attack the city to avenge the crown prince and the king of Qi.
(It is necessary to keep a hand)
And Li Shimin also made arrangements long ago, leaving his 800 private army and Zhang Gongjin at Xuanwu Gate to resist the people and horses of the Qi Palace and the Prince's Mansion. Zhang Gongjin, who only had 800 private troops, was also more embarrassed at that time, nima's you all went to kill the key figures, leaving me alone to fight against these thousands of troops, this thing is difficult, he can only pray in his heart, Li Shimin as soon as possible to get everything done to help him.
Just when Zhang Gongjin was uneasy, a pair of people sent a timely rain, that is, the Yunli general Jing Junhong and the Zhonglang general Lu Shiheng, these two people were also parties to the Xuanwumen change, but they were not participants but bystanders, but they were very clear about the inside of the political struggle.
Seeing that Li Jiancheng was killed and Li Yuanji was killed, a little wise of course knew that Li Shimin's becoming the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a sure thing, for their own future and future, they resolutely threw themselves into Li Shimin's camp, and without swearing allegiance, they gambled their lives on it, looking at the besieged Xuanwu Gate, as well as the prince and the prince of Qin outside the door, as if they saw the name of the two eyes shining.
So the two led their subordinates to rush into the war, who knew that their defenders were really too wasted, and before they could fight a few rounds, the two speculators were killed by Feng Li of the Prince's Mansion, so they did not take the name, but lost their heads.
The Battle of the City Gate had just been fought, and before Cheng'e had settled down, the fierce lieutenant Chi Jingde took out Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's heads and showed them to the public outside the city. Seeing that their masters were dead, the Qi Palace and the Prince's subordinates suddenly lost their hearts and fled.
In this way, the greatest danger of the Xuanwumen revolution was also passed, and Li Shimin used his determination and courage to win the final victory with the six relatives.
After the victory, Li Shimin was not ungrateful, and in the face of Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, who were on the verge of surrendering, they also gave the treatment they deserved, although they died, they still had rewards. Jing Junhong was posthumously awarded the title of Grand General of Zuo Tun Wei, and Lü Shiheng was posthumously awarded the title of General of Right Xiao Wei. The key figure, Shōshō Lang Chang He, was awarded the title of General of Zhonglang after Li Shimin ascended the throne.
Then there is another interesting thing that because of Chang He, Li Shimin discovered a great talent, that is, Ma Zhou, and because of Ma Zhou's blessing, Chang He once again made meritorious contributions and was named the founding uncle of Wushui County, the Grand Master of Taizhong.
Because of the resoluteness of the clan in the xuanwumen change, and the subsequent continuous meritorious service, Chang He can be said to have risen step by step, from the local assassination history, to the addition of the right Tun Wei general and the right Wu Wei general until his death in 653 AD. They were all pillars of the Tang Dynasty and were highly valued and favored by Li Shimin and Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
Therefore, once you choose to achieve a lifetime, Chang He is really a model of professional life.
