Early one morning in 787, 45-year-old Tang Dezong heard in the hazy morning fog that a forbidden army had an unusual intimate relationship with a princess, the aunt of the eldest princess of the Gao Kingdom. This news was like a cold wind, which aroused the fire of anger in Tang Dezong's heart.
Prime Minister Zhang Yansheng, a hint of cunning light flashed in his sharp eyes, and he seemed to see a rare opportunity. However, under Tang Dezong's firm gaze, he could only silently swallow the unspoken joy.
"I want to hear Li Mi's opinion. Tang Dezong's words were as firm as iron and stone.
The inner supervisor received the order and hurriedly went to invite the legendary figure, Li Mi. Li Mi, a wise man known for his intelligence since childhood, was a bright star in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and his wisdom and strategy were unmatched.
When he heard what Tang Dezong said, he smiled faintly, and there was a bit of depth and cleverness in that smile.
He shook his head lightly and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is just a matter of dust, so there is no need to worry too much." After that, he made a suggestion, and the words were like a spring breeze, which made Tang Dezong's tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.
"Okay! just according to your words!" Tang Dezong's eyes flashed with determination.
Li Mi, this wise man, every word and sentence of his was like the key to unlocking the predicament, which made Tang Dezong's brows finally relaxed.
So, what is the magic of this Li Mi that can make Tang Dezong listen to his opinions, and what impact does he have on the ending of the eldest princess and aunt of Gao Guo?
Then let's take a look at what strategy Li Mi gave Tang Dezong?
01
Li Mi has been bright since childhood, and he became famous for writing poems at the age of 7
Li Mi, whose name is Changyuan, was a native of Xiangping County, Liaodong County (now Liaoyang, Liaoning), and later moved to Jingzhaofu (now Xi'an, Shaanxi). He was a politician, strategist, and scholar in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and the sixth grandson of Li Bi, the Taishi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Li Mi has been smart since he was a child and was deeply appreciated by Tang Xuanzong. As an adult, he often traveled between the mountains of Song, Hua and Zhongnan, admiring the immortal art of immortals. During the Tianbao period, Xuanzong ordered him to wait for Zhao Hanlin and was a subordinate official of the crown prince Li Heng (Tang Suzong). Later, he was hated by Prime Minister Yang Guozhong and had to return to Yingyang.
During the Anshi Rebellion, Li Heng was located in the Lingwu Queen, called as the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, and awarded the king of Guangping to march Sima to participate in military affairs, and was favored. Soon he was framed by the eunuch Li Fuguo and others, and lived in seclusion in Hengyue again.
After Tang Dynasty Zong ascended the throne, he was called as a bachelor of Hanlin, and was successively squeezed out by Prime Minister Yuan Zai and Chang Gon, and successively served as the judge of Jiangnan West Road, the assassin of Chuzhou, the training envoy of the Lilangxia regiment, and the assassin of Hangzhou.
After Tang Dezong ascended the throne, he was awarded the Zuo Scattered Cavalry Standing Attendant, and soon served as the defense observer of Shaanxi and Yudu. In the third year of Zhenyuan (787), he was called into the court, promoted to Zhongshu Shilang, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and was named the Marquis of Ye County, known as "Marquis Li Ye".
He is well-versed in history and has studied Yi Xiang. Good at writing articles, especially poetry. There are 20 volumes of "Li Miji", which are now lost. "All Tang Poems" and "All Tang Literature" and other collections of his works.
In the sixteenth year of Kaiyuan, the 7-year-old Li Mi's intelligence was like a sword that broke through the world, piercing the peace of the world. At that time, he was summoned by Tang Xuanzong, and at that moment, the entire court was shaken. On the chessboard, Yan Guogong Zhang said that he would try his talent with the title of "Fang Yuan Movement".
Li Mi smiled slightly, thought for a moment and replied: "If Fang Ruo does righteousness, if Yuan uses wisdom, if he uses his talents, if he is quiet, he is satisfied." These four sentences are like the sunshine in the morning light, instantly dispelling all doubts and confusion. Zhang said that after hearing this, he was amazed, and he knew that he had met a real prodigy.
Zhang Jiuling, a generation of celebrities, his love for Li Yu is beyond words. They often talked at length and stayed up all night. In Zhang Jiuling's eyes, Li Mi is like a bright pearl, far surpassing his peers in terms of knowledge, talent and wisdom. Zhang Jiuling often sighed: "This son is really a national warrior!"
Li Mi's wisdom and talent not only won the appreciation and respect of Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling, but also impressed other important ministers in the court. Wei Mingxin, Zhang Tingqi and other famous ministers all value him very much, believing that he will be the pillar of the country in the future. Li Mi entered the court in a cloth suit, and quickly rose to prominence with his extraordinary talent and integrity, which is admirable.
In the light of Li Mi, the people of his generation seemed to be overshadowed. His demeanor and talent are eye-catching, and his life path shines like a bright star.
This young genius is amazed by his intelligence, courage and vision. His life is full of endless legends and glory, like a gorgeous and colorful picture.

The Anshi Rebellion broke out, assisting the monarch to fix the country
The turmoil of the Anshi Rebellion swept the entire Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong fled in a hurry, and the fortunes of the country were in jeopardy. At this critical moment, Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu and became Tang Suzong. In order to revive the world, he searched everywhere for talent, and this talent was Li Mi.
Li Mi, a generation of wise men, he has insight into the general trend of the world and knows the key to success or failure. His intelligence and insight made Su Zong fall for him, and Su Zong wanted to give him an official position, but Li Mi claimed to be a mountain man, politely rejected Su Zong's kindness, and only wanted to serve as a guest. His freedom and wisdom have won the respect and admiration of Su Zong.
Whenever Su Zong encountered a difficult problem, he would always discuss it with Li Mi. Li Mi's unique insights and quick thinking can always bring new enlightenment to Su Zong. Whenever night fell, the firewood reflected on their faces, and Su Zong and his brothers and the three kings sat around with Li Mi to share the fireworks in the world.
And Li Mi never eats meat, whenever everyone competes for food, Su Zong will always personally burn two pears and give them to him to taste. Li Mi's elegant taste is different, which makes him unique in the court.
Li Mi not only participated in state affairs in the court, but also was the marching Sima of Li Jiao, the king of Guangping. He accompanied Su Zong, whether it was the preparation of books and texts or the promotion of generals, he participated in it.
His power is even higher than that of the prime minister. Whenever he went out, he accompanied Su Zong's car, and everyone was amazed by his demeanor. Su Zong once said to him: "You once served the emperor, you were my teacher, and now you are the marching Sima of the king of Guangping, and our father and son have received your moral grace." "Li Mi's talent and resourcefulness have made him a high position in the court, unmatched.
When the army was discussing the establishment of a marshal, people's eyes were focused on Li Qi, the king of Jianning. However, Li Mi secretly said to Su Zong: "King Jianning is indeed very smart, but King Guangping, as the eldest son, has the bearing of a benevolent monarch. Your Majesty, we can't let him become a figure like Uncle Wu. ”
Emperor Suzong asked suspiciously: "King Guangping has been established as the crown prince, why do you still need him to be a marshal?" Li Mi knew the king's heart very well, and replied slowly: "If the marshal has made great achievements, but Your Majesty does not let him inherit the throne, it may be difficult to convince the public." When the crown prince went out with the army, he was a military officer, and when he was stationed, he was a supervisor of the country, and now the position of marshal is his right to raise the army. ”
Eventually, Emperor Suzong followed Li Mi's advice.
On September 12, the second year of Tang Zhide (757), Li Jiao, the king of Guangping, was appointed as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and Guo Ziyi was the deputy marshal, commanding 150,000 troops, known as 200,000. In addition, there were 4,000 Hui cavalry who set out from Fengxiang and entered the west of Chang'an on the 27th.
The rebels dispatched more than 100,000 to confront. The Tang army lined up for ten miles, Li Siye was the envoy of the camp section of the west and Beiting branch of the town, and was the former army, Guo Ziyi was the envoy of the right camp of Shuofang, and Wang Sili was the rear army.
The rebels knew that there was a gap in strength between them, so they concentrated their elite cavalry and made a breakthrough with all their might. The Tang Army's former strong bows and arrows could not withstand the decisive charge of the rebels.
Seeing that the formation of the Tang army was about to be interspersed and divided by the enemy's cavalry, and the army could not be formed, at this time, Li Siye fought alone in front of the formation, following the example of Xu Chu, a tiger idiot in the Han Dynasty, stripped and fought alone, holding a Mo knife, facing the enemy cavalry alone.
In the roar, a bloody storm blew in the place where he was standing, "When the heir of the sword, everyone and horses are broken", he is like a killing god, and he stubbornly blocked the enemy cavalry in front of him.
The Tang army completed the encirclement of the rebels in the morning, beheaded 60,000 in the afternoon, captured 20,000, and scattered 20,000. Eventually, the Tang army regained the capital city of Chang'an in September.
It can be said that Li Li was able to become the crown prince, and even ascended the throne as the emperor later, and Li Yu really contributed to it.

Li Mi used a clever trick to solve the difficulty of the eldest princess of Gao Guo
Later, Prime Minister Zhang Yansheng discovered that the eldest princess of Gao Guo had a secret relationship with the forbidden army Li Yu.
In the third year of Zhenyuan, Prime Minister Zhang Yansheng and Dongchuan Jiedu caused a rift between Li Shuming. Zhang Yansheng reported to Tang Dezong that the Praetorian Guard general Li Sheng, the son of Li Shuming, entered and exited the mansion of Princess Gao Guo without permission.
Dezong was suspicious and suspected that Princess Gao Guo was befriending the crown prince Li Yu.
Tang Dezong decisively sent the internal supervisor to find Li Mi, hoping that he could clear the clouds and see the light of day and point out the mystery of this mysterious case. Tang Dezong's tone was heavy: "Princess Gao Guo is already a wife, but her husband died early, how can she do such an immoral thing with others!"
After thinking about it carefully, Li Mi asked cautiously: "Who is saying this?" However, Tang Dezong did not reveal any information, and only said lightly: "Qing verifies it himself." Although he didn't say it explicitly, Li Mi already knew in his heart that this matter must have nothing to do with Zhang Yansheng.
Zhang Yansheng and Li Shuming, Li Yu's father, once had an indissoluble feud. Over the years, Zhang Yanxian has been scheming and bent on avenging the revenge of the year. He pointed the finger at Li Yu, just because Li Yu won the trust of Tang Dezong, not only served as an important position as a Praetorian Guard general, but also held a heavy army.
However, Li Yu is not an ordinary person. At the time of the Jingyuan Mutiny, he moved forward bravely and swore to defend Tang Dezong to the death. His loyalty and bravery earned him the praise of the emperor. After the victory, Tang Dezong entrusted Li Yu with important responsibilities and was named the general of the Praetorian Guard.
In the face of Li Yu's rise, Zhang Yansheng was helpless. In desperation, he turned his gaze to Princess Gaoguo. Once the scandal between the princess and the forbidden army spreads, it will inevitably make Tang Dezong very unhappy. At that time, it will naturally be difficult for Li Yu to be alone.
Li Mi offered advice to Tang Dezong: "If Your Majesty transfers Li Yu from the position of the forbidden army, it can not only calm the turmoil, but also show your love for talent." After hearing this, Tang Dezong thought it was true, so he adopted this strategy.
In this fierce controversy, Li Mi argued with reason and repeatedly made statements. His wisdom and courage finally impressed Dezong, so that the eldest princess of Gao Guo and the crown prince Li Yu were saved.
After this turmoil, the court returned to peace, and Li Mi's name was remembered in the long river of history.
It can be said that Li Mi is a strange person of a generation, who has been valued by Tang Xuanzong, and has been highly valued among the three emperors who followed. However, his road to becoming an official was full of ups and downs, and he was often ostracized by his colleagues.
Despite this, he always maintained an open-minded mind, and did not feel unfortunate because of various exiles. He was willing to serve the emperor regardless of fame and fortune, which reflected his adherence to "loyalty".
Although Li Mi worshiped the prime minister in his later years, he did not value the official position, but chose to participate in the revision of the national history. Such a choice shows his personality and talent, making him a strange man of a generation.
His personality is quite similar to Su Dongpo, both of whom had close ties with Hangzhou in their later years, Li Mi served as the governor of Hangzhou and managed water conservancy, while Su Dongpo left Su Causeway for the benefit of the people.
