In the Water Margin, Wu Yong and Song Jiang made up: a flat boat in the reed bush, and Junjie Ao swam from here. If the righteous man can understand this, he can not escape without worry. The first word of each sentence of this poem is Lu Junyi's rebellion, which eventually becomes evidence of the government's punishment and also makes Lu Junyi forced to Liangshan. It can be seen from this that the Chinese culture is broad and profound, and sometimes the words are useless just on the surface, and there may be some other meanings in his words. For example, during the Tang Dynasty, a prime minister wrote down two words, Green Goose, but in it can be split into six words, these six words eventually killed him.
This prime minister's name was Pei Yan, and he was born in The Pei clan of Hedong, who was a prosperous family at that time. As we all know, the influence of the door valve on the career path can be very important, Pei Yan was born in such a family as more than others. When he was young, Pei Yan studied at the Hongwenguan, where there were only a few dozen students, but most of them were the children of the imperial family and nobles or high-ranking officials. The Pei family has a unique tutor, coupled with Pei Yan's own diligence and studiousness, when others go out to play, he is still studying hard. How can we not accomplish great things in this way?
Sure enough, after ten years of hard study, Pei Yan participated in the scientific expedition. With the Ming Dynasty and the first entry, his official position rose relatively quickly, and he became a chancellor in the second year of The Transfer (680). In August of that year, a major event occurred in Chang'an City. According to historical records, Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian's favorite warlock Ming Chongyu were assassinated, and Wu Zetian suspected that it was the crown prince Li Xian who ordered them. He asked Pei Yan to go to the East Palace with Xue Yuanchao and others for interrogation, and as a result, hundreds of armor bodies were found, and Li Xian was deposed.
He was not a great evil person, on the contrary, his whole heart was on Datang. In the first month of the first year of the reign of Emperor Sisheng (684), Emperor Zhongzong of Tang planned to make his father-in-law Wei Xuanzhen a servant, and he also planned to give his wet mother's son a five-pin official. Pei Yan thought that this matter was not feasible, so he vigorously opposed it, but Emperor Zhongzong said, Even if I give the country to Wei Xuanzhen, it will be nothing. This incident touched Pei Yan's bottom line and endangered Datang, so he couldn't sit idly by. So he hurriedly found Wu Zetian and planned to depose the emperor.
After Emperor Zhongzong was deposed, things did not go as Pei Yan thought, and Wu Zetian made Li Dan emperor for Tang Ruizong. But this emperor only had an empty shell, and the power was in the hands of Wu Zetian. Pei Yan also thought it was wrong, just as Wu Chengsi asked for the posthumous title of ancestor as king. Pei Yan stood up again and said that the empress dowager could not be selfish, and also came up with the things that had happened to Lü Hou. Wu Zetian was very unhappy, and later he angered Wu Zetian several times. Pei Yan wanted to take the opportunity to force Wu Zetian to return the government to Ruizong by force, but only canceled the plan because it was raining.
In September of the first year of Guangzhai (684), the British duke Xu Jingye raised an army against Wu Zetian in Yangzhou. Pei Yan once again moved his mind, planning to unite with Xu Jingye to force Wu Zetian to return his power to Ruizong. He wrote a letter that was unfortunately intercepted, but fortunately he was smart enough to think of a way before. I saw only two words on the letter, Green Goose. At this time, the group of ministers was confused, not knowing what this meant, and Wu Zetian used the word splitting method to crack the meaning at this time.
Green goose, green can be divided into December, goose word can be broken into my own. According to the ancient Chinese translation, it means that Pei Yan will become an internal assistant in the city in December, and many ministers have said that they do not believe that he will rebel. But Wu Zetian insisted, and Pei Yan himself said: "The prime minister is in prison, and there is no longer physiology!" In October of that year, Pei Yan was beheaded and not rehabilitated until the first year of Jing Yun (710).
