During the Middle and Tang Dynasties, the most eye-catching thing was the "Anshi Rebellion" launched by An Lushan and Shi Siming during the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. At the time of the chaos of the country, countless heroes and heroes sacrificed their lives for the country and used their own abilities to save the Tang Dynasty, which had come to the building and fell, of which Li Bi was such a person.
Li Bi (李泌), zi changyuan , and the Old Book of Tang , Li Bi ' Biography of Li Bi ( Li Bi ) records : " Shao Congmin , Bo is involved in the history of the classics , studied the Yi Xiang , is good at writing , especially works in poetry , and is conceited by Wang Zuo." Li Bi not only won the appreciation of Tang Xuanzong in the name of a child prodigy, but also zhang Jiuling, the prime minister at that time, was also very fond of this seven-year-old child. Li Bi was very persistent in his pursuit of the Tao, swimming in the mountains and rivers, living in seclusion in the famous mountains, and longing to become an immortal and immortal.
During the Tianbao period, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang made him a subordinate official of the Eastern Palace, because in this way Li Bi and the crown prince became close friends, and Li Bi also worked hard for the prince's great cause. Li Bi once wrote a "Long Song Line": "The heavens cover me, the earth carries me, and the heavens and the earth give birth to me without intention." Otherwise, the grain will ascend to heaven, or mingke will travel to the imperial capital. Yan can not be expensive and can not go away, empty as a husband. One husband and one husband, a thousand lives are good intentions. Please look at the hundred years of events, and the industry will cross the five lakes with a flat boat. It can be seen that Li Bi's arrogant and uninhibited character and his desire to either travel the world or assist Wang Ye. But it was precisely because of Li Bi's brash and indomitable character that he was hated by Yang Guozhong and was degraded.
After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Tang Xuanzong fled. The crown prince Li Heng was proclaimed emperor in Lingwu, and told the world that he was Emperor Suzong of Tang and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and That Li Heng had a weak and indecisive personality, and there were no capable people around him, so he thought of Li Bi and sent people around to find Li Bi, but Li Bi resolutely came to Li Heng's side despite the war at that time, helped him with all his strength, and refused any rewards and official positions, and got the title of "Baiyi Mountain Man".
Finally, under the promise of Emperor Suzong's "Hou Thief Ping, Ren Xing Gao Zhi", he accepted a small position. With the help of Li Bi, Li Heng regained the lost land, and his merits were great, and it was still difficult to calm down the situation in the court, and under the various conspiracies and calculations of Li Fuguo and the empress, Li Bi once again returned to the mountains and forests.
After Li Heng's death, Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty took the throne, and Emperor Daizong felt that there was no one around to use, so he hurriedly summoned Li Bi back to the dynasty. He paid special attention to Li Bi, but was jealous of the chancellor Yuan Zai, so he used the excuse of the lack of officials from the outside to kick Li Bi out of the court. Later, Yuan Zai was killed for committing a crime, and Li Bi was recalled again, but he was also hated by the chancellor Chang Gun and kicked out of the imperial court under the same pretext, but Li Bi was not depressed because of his own depreciation, nor was he discouraged because of the emperor's inaction, but put all his body and mind on the lives of the people in the degraded land, and the area under his jurisdiction had achieved extraordinary political achievements.
After Emperor Daizong's death, Emperor Dezong of Tang took the throne and quickly recalled Li Bi to rescue him during the Jingyuan Mutiny. However, after quelling the rebellion, he had a disagreement with Emperor Dezong of Tang, and later quarreled with Emperor Dezong over the deposed prince, angering Emperor Dezong. "Ruling for dozens, Yi Yijian, Emperor Yue, Prince Nai De'an." New Book of Tang Dynasty, Biography of Li Bilie. He was 68 years old.
Li Bi can be said to have been running for the Tang Dynasty in this life, he did not want to please several emperors, nor was he for fame and fortune, he was really for the people of the Tang Dynasty; he really achieved Fan Zhongyan's "living in the temple is high, worrying about his people, and being far away from the rivers and lakes is worried about his king." "Before the world worries and worries, after the world is happy and happy."
His several retreats are after the achievement of the heart, he can grasp his own heart, not arrogant when he rises, does not hurt when he falls, and is casual between ups and downs. Between the temple and the landscape, he only does what he thinks is right, and will not go against his heart in order to cater to the powerful; life goes up and down, as long as the country needs him, he will stand up, especially his friendship with Tang Suzong, which makes people even more moved.
He has always devoted himself to cultivation, and I think that the Tao he yearns for in his heart is not to achieve fame and fame, but to leave it in history, but to pursue the Tao of the people of the country and the prosperity and peace. Although the Tao he aspired to did not succeed because of his own efforts, he did so without regret.
