The ruling class of the Sui and Tang dynasties were all Guanlong gate valves, and their ruling clique had been widely married and exchanged since the establishment of the Guanlong clique by Western Wei Yuwentai, and the relationship was intricate. Later, after experiencing the dictatorship of the powerful minister Yuwen Hu, Yang Jian usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty. However, only the royal family changed in the upper structure, and the rest did not change much, which created a large number of official eunuch families who were high-ranking officials in the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui Dynasties.
There is a person who was born in such a family of door valves, it can be said that his ancestors were "four generations and three dukes", but what he did in his life was determined to rebel, and he twice raised troops against the Sui Emperor Yang Guang, and both times he almost succeeded. The last rebellion against Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, but let him lose his life. This person is the famous Pushan Gong Li Mi.
Li Mi
Li Mi's ancestor was Situ and Taishi Li Bi, one of the famous Eight Pillar States of Guanlong, his grandfather was Taibao of Northern Zhou, and his father was the Shangzhu State of the Sui Dynasty, all of whom were high-ranking officials of the Rank of Three Dukes. Such a family lineage has made Li Mi have an extraordinary vision since he was a child, he has seen people, he is good at strategy, both literary and martial, and often has the idea of Ji Shi'anmin.
When Li Mi was young, because his family was working as a bodyguard in the palace, once the Sui Emperor passed by and happened to see him in the guard. Only to see Li Mi's forehead sharp angle, the pupils black and white, go back and ask the people around him: Who is the black-faced child in the guard? The minister replied that it was the son of Li Kuan, the late Duke of Pushan, named Li Mi. The Sui Emperor was very jealous in his heart, so he said to the minister: His look of concern is very unusual, and he should stop letting him stay in the palace.
Therefore, Li Mi resigned and concentrated on reading. He often rode a scalper, holding a cow rope in one hand and flipping through books with the other. Once, he was studying when he suddenly met Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo. Yang Su was the most powerful minister of the Sui Dynasty, and he made great achievements in battle in his lifetime, destroying Southern Chen, breaking the Turks, and shaking the world. He was very surprised to see Li Mi studying diligently, and talked about it last time. As a result, Yang Su was very surprised by Li Mi's talent, and he went back to his son Yang Xuangan and others and said: Your temperament and knowledge are not as good as Li Mi, and you must have a good relationship with him.
Later, when the Sui Emperor was in a rage against Goguryeo, Yang Xuangan decided to raise an army and sent someone to ask Li Mi to preside over the plot. After Li Mi saw Yang Xuangan, he offered three strategies, but Yang Xuangan chose the next strategy after deliberating, and as a result, he was defeated and killed, and Li Mi was also captured. Originally, li mi who participated in the rebellion was still Yang Xuangan's mastermind, and Li Mi should undoubtedly die. As a result, Li Mi and his accomplices dug up the wall halfway and escaped, thus escaping with their lives.
After another two years, Zhai Rang revolted in Wagang, and Li Mi defected to Zhai Rang. Li Mi was both literate and intelligent, and soon made the Wagang army grow stronger and became the most powerful anti-Sui force. Suddenly, Li Mi repeatedly broke through the Sui army, and he had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. At that time, the Sui Emperor in Jiangnan was killed by Yuwen and Li Mi accepted the canonization of Yang Tong, the King of Yue who remained in Luoyang, and returned to attack Yuwenhe. However, when Li Mi and Yu Wenhua were both defeated and injured, they were secretly attacked by Wang Shichong, and Li Mi was defeated and went into guanzhong to defect to Li Yuan.
At that time, Li Yuan had already integrated the old department of the Guanlong Group in Guanzhong, and his strength was strong, and he was overjoyed to hear that Li Mi had returned. Li Yuan worshipped Li Mi as Guanglu Qing, made him the Duke of Xingguo, and married his cousin Dugu Shi to Li Mi, calling Li Mi his brother. But Li Mi was not willing to live under the people and was very dissatisfied with his situation. Therefore, Li Mi plotted to rebel against The Tang in the name of going to recruit the old department of Kwantung, and as a result, he was ambushed and killed, and his body was buried by the general Xu Mao, who was only thirty-seven years old.
