(Chu Suiliang)
Under the rule of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a minister named Chu Suiliang.
This Chu Suiliang was a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty and had done many positions in the imperial court, including Julang.
The job of the living man is very interesting, it belongs to the kind of relatively pure clerical work, and there are only two main jobs, one is to record the major events that happened in the country, and the other is to record the emperor's words and deeds.
To record the emperor's words and deeds, then he needs to observe the emperor at all times, to observe the emperor, then Chu Suiliang is always by the emperor's side all day long, Tang Taizong said and did, Chu Suiliang will be by Taizong's side with a small notebook to write them down.
One day Taizong said to Chu Suiliang, you record my words and deeds every day, I am very curious, I want to see how you record it? I want to see the contents of your book.
Generally speaking, the emperor's request to his courtiers, especially this kind of which is not very excessive, is often difficult for his subordinates to refuse, and he does not have the courage to refuse, but Chu Suiliang directly rejected the emperor's request.
Chu Suiliang said, you see that although the position I do is called Julang, but in essence I do the same thing as the historians of the previous dynasties, I am responsible for recording history, recording the history related to the emperor, in this case, which emperor of the past dynasties ran to the historian and wanted to see what the historian wrote, which is not appropriate, so I can't show you.
Taizong asked again, I see that you are very diligent in recording all day and night, especially recording a lot of content about me, so if I usually do something wrong or say something wrong, have you also recorded it?
Chu Suiliang did not hesitate, and immediately replied, saying that it was certain, that it was necessary.
Taizong didn't say anything after listening, turned around and left.
A few days later, Taizong suddenly called a group of ministers together and commented on these people one by one.
Probably because the emperor felt unbalanced in his heart, because his subordinates had always written history to evaluate the emperor's rights and wrongs, and now he wanted to change this rule, and he wanted to comment on the merits and demerits of his subordinates.
For example, Taizong said that the minister Changsun Wuji said that he was a jumper in thinking, knew how to improvise, and was good at government affairs, but he was too weak and not good at fighting.
For another example, Taizong said that the minister Gao Shilian is well-read, very educated, has a good official reputation, and has a good moral character, but he is too cautious and lacks the courage to speak out.
(Tang Taizong Li Shimin)
Anyway, the emperor praised and criticized the big and small people in the court, and gave some suggestions, but when Taizong evaluated Chu Suiliang, he said a very interesting thing, the emperor said:
Chu Suiliang has a strong personality, always by my side every day, and has a lot of feelings for me, and usually looks like a bird attached to humans, which makes me very fond of him. (Very close to me, like a bird that depends on people, and loves itself.) ）
Therefore, the idiom "Bird Depends on People" was coined, and later generations changed it to "Little Bird Depends on People".
Now if we want to use the idiom of the little bird according to the person, it is generally used to describe the love relationship between men and women, the boy is tall and powerful and secure, and the girl is petite and cute, the girl is very dependent on the boy, we say that the girl has the posture of the bird according to the person, but as everyone knows, this idiom, at the beginning, was actually to describe the intimate relationship between the emperor and the minister.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Xu Jingye who rebelled.
Xu Jingye rebelled, and it was not Emperor Li Tang who opposed it, but the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian was in charge of the government at that time, and the dynasty called the system, deposed Zhongzong Li Xian, and re-established Ruizong Li Dan, this Li Tang Emperor can be said to be pinched by Wu Zetian, and most of the people in the Li Tang royal family were also excluded and suppressed by the Wu family.
Xu Jingye raised troops, he wanted to oppose Wu Zetian and restore Zhongzong Li Xian, he thought that he could not give the fate of the empire in the hands of a woman.
(Wu Zetian)
To revolt and rebel, there is a very important prerequisite, that is, you must be famous.
First, you Xu Jingye are an official of the imperial court, it is very unreasonable for you to rebel, and secondly, Wu Zetian did not provoke you, nor did he deal with you, nor did he have a grudge against you, why should you oppose her?
If you don't have a valid reason, you won't get the broad support of the people, and you will only become a thief and bandit in the subsequent war, which will directly affect morale, as well as subsequent conscription and logistical support.
Say it, if you are a righteous army on the side of the Qing monarch, the common people will be willing to support you, be willing to support you, be willing to send you food, be willing to join you, and expand your power.
But if you are a rebel army, you will suffer in the area of public opinion, everyone will hate it, everyone will shout to fight, and before the war is fought, you will lose half of it.
In order to create rationality for himself, Xu Jingye found his own adviser Luo Bingwang to write an essay for himself.
Luo Bin Wang, one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, a famous great poet in the early Tang Dynasty, "Goose Goose Goose, Song to the Sky" was written by him, so this is a very talented person.
Soon, under the main pen of Luo Bingwang, a "Seeking Wu Cao for Xu Jingye" was born, and it can be said that this article greatly increased the rationality of Xu Jingye's rebellion, because this article is of a very high level and is very aggressively written.
The full text is very long, and it is placed in the picture, and the author has to excerpt a few sentences for example:
... In the past, Taizong was under Chen, and he once served with a change of clothes. It's a late festival, and the spring palace is filthy...
... Jackals are sexual, close to evil and evil, mutilating loyal and good, killing sisters and brothers, and killing kings and mothers. What man and God are jealous of, what heaven and earth do not tolerate...
(For Xu Jingye to discuss Wu Cao, please read horizontally)
After the text was written, it was quickly copied to Wu Zetian, who took the text seriously, and read it word by word.
It's strange that Wu Zetian didn't have a red temperature, nor did he break the defense, and he didn't get angry, but he found this article, which is a beautiful article, which is exquisite, complete, natural, full of emotion, accurate intentions, and very in place, this is simply a wonderful article.
So after reading it, Wu Zetian immediately asked who wrote it, and His Majesty replied that it was King Luo Bin.
Coincidentally, Wu Zetian actually knew Luo Bingwang, and he was very impressed with Luo Bingwang.
A few years ago, Luo Bin Wang was an official in Beijing, this person and Wu Zetian were quite dissatisfied, and he was dissatisfied with Wu Zetian, and he was often sarcastic, so he was suppressed and excluded, and he was not counted as a cut, and he was also arrested in prison, and then fortunately met an amnesty, so he was released.
Thinking of this past incident, and seeing the text written by King Luo Bin today, Wu Zetian couldn't help but sigh:
It is the fault of the prime minister that such an outstanding talent has been left in the people.
The prime minister generally refers to the imperial court, and the imperial court naturally represents Wu Zetian himself.
After being scolded for such a beating, he can still reflect on himself, which shows that Wu Zetian is still very open-minded and measured.

In 755 AD, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji urgently avoided danger, took the minister of civil and military affairs and Yang Guifei to avoid the chaos in Shuzhong, and walked to a place called Ma Weiyi.
Ma Weiyi, in the northwest of present-day Xingping City, Shaanxi.
At that time, the crown prince of Xuanzong was Li Heng, who later became Tang Suzong.
When the Li Tang royal family was running on the road, Li Heng, as the crown prince, found Chen Xuanli, the general of the Zuolong Wujun.
Zuo Longwu Army, at that time, was responsible for guarding the emperor, the general, equivalent to the captain of this army, and Chen Xuanli at this time was the only armed force that Xuanzong could trust when he fled.
(Lee Hyung)
Li Heng found Chen Xuanli with the purpose of planning a mutiny, and his plan was to let Chen Xuanli lead the soldiers to mutiny, kill the prime minister Yang Guozhong, and then force Emperor Xuanzong to execute Yang Guifei.
For Chen Xuanli, he did not resist this plan,
Recalling the previous Xuanzong, young and promising, hard-working, and capable, he can be called an emperor through the ages, but since he had Yang Guifei, the emperor began to neglect state affairs, had no mental politics, and had nothing else to do every day, patronizing and falling in love.
Prime Minister Yang Guozhong is even more hateful, relying on being a distant relative of Yang Guifei, abusing power to harm the country, being overbearing, showing off his might, it's just bad, Li Heng just doesn't say it, Chen Xuanli has long wanted to clean him up.
Therefore, as soon as the plan was proposed, Li Heng and Chen Xuanli coincided, which led to the later change of Ma Weiyi.
Under the leadership of Chen Xuanli, the soldiers were transformed, first killing Yang Guozhong, and then forcing Xuanzong to execute Yang Guifei.
Chen Xuanli's original words are as follows:
The country is loyal and rebelling, and the concubine should not be worshipped, may Your Majesty cut the grace and correct the law.
The meaning of this sentence is actually that Yang Guozhong is dead, so Yang Guifei can't be alive, if you insist on protecting Yang Guifei, then our Long Wujun may no longer be able to protect you.
Threats, it's naked threats.
(Ming Emperor Xingshu map detail)
Chen Xuanli is a very pure martial artist, in his opinion, the fundamental reason for the decline of the imperial court and the overthrow of the country is because of the existence of Yang Guifei, it is she who charms the lord and leads to the failure of Emperor Xuanzong's career, so only getting rid of Yang Guifei is the best solution.
It can only be said that Chen Xuanli looks at the problem too simply, and the direction is not right.
The decline of the Tang Dynasty said that it had nothing to do with Yang Guifei, that is unrealistic, but it is only a little bit of a relationship.
For Chen Xuanli, killing Yang Guifei is the best solution, but for Tang Xuanzong, there is no solution.
He could only choose one between his own living space and Yang Yuhuan's life and death, and after hesitation, the emperor still chose the former.
Xuanzong naturally pinned his hopes on waiting until he arrived in Shuzhong under the escort of Chen Xuanli, and then organized the whole country to quell the war, and then returned to Chang'an, and he would be the son of the saint tomorrow as usual, but he couldn't imagine that after the Ma Weiyi Change, his life basically ended, and the second half of his life would only be spent in endless regret and loneliness, because after the mutiny, the crown prince Li Heng chose to divide the troops with Xuanzong, Xuanzong went to Shuzhong, Li Heng went to Lingwu, and after arriving at Lingwu, Li Heng directly called the emperor without notifying Xuanzong, Xuanzong was set up in a daze and became the emperor.
Li Heng's title to emperor is inevitable, because Li Heng's purpose in finding Chen Xuanli from the beginning is not only to hope that Chen Xuanli will kill Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuhuan, but also to hope that he will go all the way to the dark and directly kill Xuanzong in the mutiny, so that he will take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne.
But Li Heng ignored a problem, Chen Xuanli accompanied Xuanzong almost the entire youth, when Xuanzong raised troops to kill Empress Wei, it was Chen Xuanli who served under his command, the relationship between the two was not ordinarily deep, and the friendship between the monarch and the minister, Li Heng couldn't imagine it at all.
(Tang Xuanzong Li Longji)
Therefore, Chen Xuanli will kill Yang Guozhong and force Yang Guifei to death, but he will never commit acts of killing the monarch and rebelling against the lord.
Li Heng originally wanted to kill people with a knife and get rid of his father by Chen Xuanli's hand, but Chen Xuanli chose to remain loyal to Xuanzong, and Li Heng had no choice but to divide his troops.
Even from a certain point of view, we can make a bold assumption, that is, even if Xuanzong did not kill Yang Guifei under the pressure of Chen Xuanli at that time. Chen Xuanli didn't dare to take Xuanzong seriously.
It's just a pity that Tang Xuanzong is far from brave enough whether he is facing mutiny or love.
If he had been brave enough to say no, if he had been brave enough to stand in front of the woman he loved, would the ending have been different?
He will return to Chang'an again, but the prosperous world will pass, the storm has risen, and the emperor Li Longji will only die alone.
