Li Linfu's last day: looking at the beautiful face in front of the bed, regretting why he did not become a god in the first place

On the morning of November 24, 753 (January 3, 753), the west wind was fierce, and the snow above the Huaqing Palace was like a mat, fluttering with the wind. Huaqing Palace is built on the mountain of Lifeng, the Loutai Pavilion Hall, like Jinruo embroidery, Bai Juyi's poem "LiGong Gao" said: "There is a palace on the high Li mountain, and the Zhulou Purple Hall is three or four times." Every October, Tang Xuanzong would lead hundreds of officials and concubines to the Huaqing Palace to soak in the hot springs and spend the cold winter, "thousands of flags are glowed by the wilderness, clouds and grasses", "a thousand rocks on the snow gate, in October in the middle of the cold flowers".

Li Linfu, the seventy-year-old prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was lying on his back on his sickbed, breathless, and the black pressure in front of the bed was full of sons and daughters and sons-in-law, as well as grandchildren and grandchildren. He swept past everyone's faces with wandering eyes, and his heart was infinitely sad. He knew that after his death, the wealth and glory would disappear in the blink of an eye, the fate of his children would be very miserable, and the exile of his family would be a foregone conclusion. Yang Guozhong had already sharpened his knife and was only waiting for himself to swallow his last breath before he was ready to strike.

Just yesterday, Yang Guozhong came to visit, Li Linfu said to Yang Guozhong with a handful of snot and tears, I am going to die, my sons will entrust it to you, I hope you can treat them well. Yang Guozhong bowed down to the bed, repeatedly claiming that he did not dare, sweating profusely. Li Linfu was extremely good at guessing people's hearts throughout his life, and he felt the heavy killing opportunity from Yang Guozhong's meek and respectful face.

Li Linfu's last day: looking at the beautiful face in front of the bed, regretting why he did not become a god in the first place

In the first year of Emperor Gaozong's reign (683), Li Linfu was born in the bustling city of Yangzhou. Yangzhou is an important economic town of the Tang Dynasty, with extremely developed commerce and rich city culture, and sometimes has the reputation of "the prosperity of the world, Yangzhou as the leader". "Ten mile long street city well company, on the Moon Ming Bridge to see the gods", "ten thousand dragons and green silk, carried to Yangzhou will not return", "night bridge lights even stars Han, water Guo Fan tree near the bullfighting", "the world three clear moon night, two points rogue is Yangzhou".

The rich city culture has created Li Linfu's future "mouth honey belly sword", "did not taste love and hatred in the face of color", "good at stabbing the intention" of the power to change the character. He "has no academics, speaks ugly, and snickers from hearers", and after taking charge of the center, he pronounced "杕杜" as "Cane Du" (杕杜 is the title of the Book of Poetry, meaning the lonely chitang tree, which is a metaphor for a person who is isolated and helpless); he reads "Nong Zhang" as "Lang Zhang" (in ancient times, the boy was called Nong Zhang), and escaped a Tang Dynasty version of Wei Xiaobao. Lord Wei learned from the brothel in Yangzhou that he learned the skill of drilling and taking advantage of the camp, and he flew all the way to Huang Tengda, married seven such as Hua Mei, and retired after success, and was praised by Kangxi as "not learning to have a skill".

Li Linfu is a typical person who "does not learn and has skills".

Li Linfu is also the previous broad. His great-grandfather Li Shuliang was the brother of Li Yuan, the emperor of Tang Gaozu, who was given the title of "King of Changping", and Li Linfu's father was named Li Sijie, who joined the army in Yangzhou Prefecture, but was only a minor official of the Seven Pins, that is, Li Linfu's family road declined. Li Linfu knew that if he wanted to get ahead, he had to practice his skills. He liked music since he was a child, and he had a very advanced attainment, and this hobby became an accelerator for him to soar in the future, because Li Longji was also good at this mouthful.

Li Linfu's last day: looking at the beautiful face in front of the bed, regretting why he did not become a god in the first place

Li Linfu was two years older than Li Longji, Li Longji became emperor at the age of twenty-eight, and Li Linfu, who was thirty years old, was still in Yangzhou, living an uninhibited life of playing with eagles and running dogs, fighting and fighting. Li Longji overthrew Princess Taiping, appointed Yao Chong, to get rid of the old evils of Wuwei, and to recruit talents, and Li Linfu came to Chang'an from Yangzhou and, on the recommendation of his uncle Jiang Jiao, the Duke of Chu, made an errand for a thousand cattle. Qianniu Zhichang is a sword guard in front of the imperial court, who gets up early every day to go dark and is responsible for the safety of the emperor.

But Li Linfu didn't want to do this job, because there was no future. So he hooked up with his uncle's brother-in-law's nephew, Yuan Qianyao, who was the prime minister at the time. The nephew told his father about this, and the nephew's father had dinner with Yuan Qianyao one day and said, Li Linfu, you know, looking for your grandson, I want to be a Simen Langzhong. Si Men Lang Zhong is mainly responsible for the entry and exit of the door and the confiscation of prohibited and unowned things, which is a fat man. But Yuan Qianyao refused. Lang Guan can only be qualified if he is of high moral character and looks outstanding, but in terms of the virtue of The Brother Slave, can he be a Lang Guan? Ge Nu is Li Linfu's nickname, when people give children a nickname like to use slave characters, indicating intimacy, such as Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the nickname is called Pheasant Nu.

But lang officials can't do it, and other officials have to give one, after all, there is a grandson's face, it is not easy to refute. Within a few days, he was given the post of Prince of Virtue, a teacher who specialized in teaching the prince how to behave as a man, and later Han Yu also did this job. Li Linfu worked all the way to the Guozi Siye, in charge of the administration of Confucian discipline, and changed from the prince of education to the overseer of the education of the state.

In the fourteenth year of the new century (726), the 42-year-old Li Linfu went to the official Shilang, during which time he hooked up with the wife of the chancellor Pei Guangting, Wu Shi. Wu Shi is the daughter of Wu Sansi, and she is devious and talented. At that time, Li Longji's favorite Concubine Wu Hui was Wu Youzhi's daughter, who was well-behaved and good at greeting. Both daughters are deeply rooted in Wu Zetian's inheritance of "fox charm and partial deception". Li Linfu then tried to find a way to get close to Concubine Wu, and the Towu clan sent a message, "I would like to protect King Shou (that is, Princess Wu Huifei's son Li Mao, Yang Guifei's ex-husband)", and Concubine Wu Huifei listened and was very moved.

In the twenty-first year of the New Century (733), Pei Guangting died of illness, and the Wu clan wanted Li Linfu to be the prime minister, so they ran to Gao Lishi to intercede, crying bitterly. When Gao Lishi was young, he was taken care of by Wu Sansi, and Wu Huifei was arranged by him to Li Longji's side. Colliers and Wu Shi are also old acquaintances, which can be described as two generations of friendship. However, Li Longji strictly forbade Colliers to participate in state affairs, and Colliers did not dare to mention this matter to Li Longji. Li Longji eventually chose Shang Shu's right hand man Han Xiu as chancellor. Shangshu Province has zuo cheng and right cheng under it, and the left cheng is in charge of the official department, the household department, and the ceremonial department; the right cheng is in charge of the military department, the punishment department, and the work department, all of which are zhengsipin, and Li Linfu's official shilang is also a zhengsipin, but there is not much intersection with Han Xiu. Just as Li Longji ordered someone to write an edict, Gao Lishi quickly told the Wu clan the news, asking her to inform Li Linfu to go to Han Xiu's house to report the news. Li Linfu ran to Han Xiu's home in the middle of the night to report the good news, and the next day Han Xiu really became the prime minister and sincerely thanked Li Linfu. Han Xiu often told Li Longji that Li Linfu was of great use and could be the prime minister.

Li Linfu's last day: looking at the beautiful face in front of the bed, regretting why he did not become a god in the first place

In the twenty-third year of the new century (735), the 52-year-old Li Linfu served as prime minister together with Pei Yaoqing and Zhang Jiuling. At the beginning of his tenure, Pei Yaoqing and Zhang Jiuling walked on both sides, stooping forward, humble and docile. Li Linfu walked in the middle, looking up at his chest and standing tall on his toes, "Xi Jinjin out of the eyebrows." When the hundred officials saw it, they all whispered that this was really "one eagle and two rabbits".

However, Li Linfu's eagle against Pei Zhang's two rabbits was not so easy, it took the strength of the old nose, and he was almost kicked by the rabbit.

At that time, the courtiers were divided into two factions, one was the literary scholars, and its source was Zhang Shu, the teacher of Tang Xuanzong. Zhang said that he was the leader of the literary circle at that time, and the promotions were all literary and literary people, such as He Zhizhang (the one who wrote the February spring breeze like scissors), Wang Han (the one who wrote the grape wine luminous cup), and Zhang Jiuling. Zhang Jiuling and Zhang said that they have the same surname, and a family tree is not far away, so they are extremely close. The characteristics of the literary people are that they know honesty and shame, read the books of the sages from an early age, and follow the teachings of the saints in everything they do. One faction is a talented person, and its source is the famous Yao Chong. The characteristics of talented people are general power change, familiarity with official affairs, not so many rules and regulations and red tape, shortcomings are unscrupulous, there is no bottom line.

Many things that literary people cannot do with their hands and feet, must be done by talented people.

Zhang said that when he was in power, he not only reused literary scholars, but also suppressed talented people, and he was at odds with Yao Chong, Yu Wenrong, Li Linfu and others. Yao Chongyu Wenrong Li Linfu is a type of person. Yao Chong, "a young man, still has integrity, and takes pleasure in calling eagles and chasing beasts", Yu Wenrong "clearly discerns that there are officials", and Li Linfu, as mentioned above, is a person who "does not learn and has skills". The three of them then joined forces to impeach Zhang, Zhang said that he was deposed, Zhang Jiuling was also implicated, demoted the official and released, and later Li Longji cherished Zhang Jiuling's learning, recalled the Beijing division, and promoted him to prime minister. After a few months, Li Linfu was promoted again.

It can be seen from this that Li Longji's original intention was to use literature and talent at the same time. However, Zhang Jiuling's personality is "upright", he speaks without mercy, he often confronts Li Longji, he does not pay attention to methods and methods, which makes Li Longji very passive, on the contrary, Li Linfu is born to be "easy to do" and "good at stabbing intentions", and after a long time, Li Longji will let Li Linfu do everything and not consult with Zhang Jiuling, so as not to find himself unhappy.

Li Linfu's last day: looking at the beautiful face in front of the bed, regretting why he did not become a god in the first place

For example, Li Longji wanted to abolish the prince, Zhang Jiuling said, the prince is not a big mistake, you abolished him, how to account for the people of the world. Li Longji was very unhappy, so he asked Li Linfu, and Li Linfu said that this was His Majesty's family affair, so why ask outsiders. Shuofang Jiedu made Niu Xianke a great contribution, Li Longji wanted him to be the prime minister, Zhang Jiuling said, Niu Xianke is illiterate, how can he be the prime minister? Li Longji was furious, you have to decide everything, and I have to listen to you for whatever I do. Zhang Jiuling fell to his knees and said, "If you let me be the prime minister, I will have to take on the responsibility of the prime minister." Even if you don't want to hear it, I have to say it. Li Longji asked Li Linfu again, and Li Linfu said that a person "but has the ability to learn, why should he resign; why should the Son of Heaven employ people?" "As long as a person can do it, do you care whether he has culture or not, doctoral students are not as good as blind Ding Ding, have you not heard of it?" You are the son of a country, and you can't use anyone you want.

An Lushan lost the battle, and Li Longji cherished The rare general An Lushan and did not want to kill, but Zhang Jiuling insisted on killing. Li Longji said that he could make up for it. Zhang Jiuling said that I would look at the picture, Andan Lushan "looks opposite, and if you don't kill, there will be trouble." "Actually, this is nonsense. Li Longji was very angry when he heard this, and said, "You should not look at Shi Le like Wang Yan in the Western Jin Dynasty and frame Zhongliang." Speaking of this, it can be seen that Li Longji hates Zhang Jiuling to the extreme. On the contrary, Li Linfu advocated the reuse of An Lushan, saying that the general would be born to fight, mighty and majestic, if you can use endeavor to impress them, let them willingly fight for your life, naturally the four realms are safe.

Later, An Lushan rebelled, and Li Longji rushed to the west, following the followers, saying, I regret that I did not listen to Zhang Jiuling's words and fell to today's end.

Therefore, the struggle between Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu is not a simple struggle for power, but a dispute over how the Tang Dynasty uses people. In the end, Li Linfu won, single-handedly held the center for nineteen years, and deposed literary scholars, like Li Bai, who was a victim of Li Linfu's power. Li Baiwen's name spread all over the world, but Li Linfu told Li Longji that "there is no wilderness left behind", resulting in Li Bai only hanging around on the rivers and lakes and not entering the temple. It was not until after Li Linfu's death that Yang Guozhong became a minister and did hanlin under the recommendation of He Zhizhang.

The struggle between Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu is also a struggle between defenders of ethics and morality and advocates of systems and laws. During Li Xian's reign, Yang Wang (the fifth ancestor of Yang Guifei) killed Zhang Zhensu and changed his name to Yang Wanqing. Zhang Zhensu's two sons were still young and exiled to Lingnan. When he grew up, he fled back to Chang'an, killed Yang Wanqing, and surrendered himself.

In the Tang Dynasty, the wind of revenge prevailed, and this practice of avenging his father was called great filial piety, which was generally able to fall from light, and Zhang Jiuling, as a Confucian believer, advocated extra-legal grace. But Li Linfu said that this kind of atmosphere cannot be increased. If everyone has a vendetta and solves it privately, what is the law of the land, wouldn't it be messed up? Li Longji also felt that Li Linfu was right, and said to Zhang Jiuling: "The love of filial piety, righteousness does not care about death; but killing people and forgiving them, this tu cannot be enlightened." The state tried to stop the killing. He has participated in the murder, and it is also unforgivable. So the two Avengers were brought to justice.

Li Linfu's last day: looking at the beautiful face in front of the bed, regretting why he did not become a god in the first place

Pei Yaoqing and Zhang Jiuling were deposed, Li Linfu laughed, and dared to fight with me, do you have this strength? After saying that, he looked at the two people's backs with hateful eyes, and when the Manchu Gongqing saw it, he trembled. Although Li Linfu gained power, "everything was too cautious, orderly and public affairs, increased discipline, and removed from China and abroad, all of which had a constant degree." There are rules to follow in everything you do, so that you will be convinced.

An Lushan was arrogant by nature, no one was afraid, and when he saw Li Longji, he was not afraid, he was afraid of Li Linfu, "Although it is winter, sweat is wet and sticky." An Lushan's old mother was a Turkic witch, An Lushan was also called Rolling Mountain, meaning "god of war", after the old mother gave birth to him, she prayed to heaven and invited five hundred copper-headed and iron-armed Yin soldiers to protect him, so An Lushan was invincible and invincible. Once, when I met Li Linfu and asked the warlock to secretly inspect him, I saw that when Li Linfu came out, there was a boy in green clothes holding an incense burner in front of him to open the road, and the five hundred Yin soldiers of An Lushan saw it, jumped on the wall, and scattered the birds and beasts.

The warlock said that Li Linfu was a celestial official who was degraded by heaven on earth.

Li Linfu is informal, debauched and uninhibited. He is a handsome man, and his wife is a beautiful woman, so the daughters are all beautiful and beautiful. Four daughters have reached the age of talking about marriage, and young talents have come to visit them, intending to become Li Linfu's son-in-law. Li Linfu told his daughters, you pick, look at whoever you like is whoever you like. He let his daughters hide behind the lobby, and eventually found the man they loved.

At noon on November 24, 753 (January 3, 753) of Tang Xuanzong Tianbao's eleventh year, the snow gradually stopped, and the thin clouds covered the sun, Li Linfu looked at the little girl Li Tengkong who was holding a dusty Daoist costume next to him and said, I really envy you, you can become a heavenly god. I also had a chance to become an immortal, but I coveted the glory of the world and gave it up. Li Tengkong cried and said, Father, are you talking nonsense? Are the immortals that good? Li Linfu shook his hand and said, I will talk to you slowly.

When I was twenty years old, in Luoyang, flying eagles and running dogs all day long, hunting and playing ball. One day I met a veteran and asked me what coke I had to play. I got angry and asked him, you bird thing. He smiled and walked away. The next day the old man came again and asked me what coke I had to play, and I had an epiphany that this person was unusual, so I put away my anger and told him that there was nothing coke, just to kill time. The old man said, I'll come back tomorrow.

The next night, in the middle of the night, I came to the place of dating early, and the old man told me that I had been searching in the world for five hundred years and finally found you. You are a famous figure in the Heavenly Immortals, and you have been demoted to the mortal world because you have violated the Heavenly Rules. If you want to go to heaven and be a god, worship me as a teacher and soar in the daytime. If you don't want to go to heaven, you can be prime minister on earth for twenty years. You don't have to rush to get back to me, I'll give you three days to think about it.

Li Linfu's last day: looking at the beautiful face in front of the bed, regretting why he did not become a god in the first place

I went back and thought about it for a night, thinking that we were also the Tang Dynasty Sect, and the family road was still in decline, and since the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the glory of the family was on me, how could I covet the peace and tranquility of heaven and give up the glory of the world. So on the third day, I told lao Dao, I don't want to be a god, I want to be the prime minister. Lao Dao pounded his hands and feet, sighed continuously, and said, It took five hundred years to meet such a wizard as you, and I didn't expect to miss it. I crawled to the ground, tears falling like rain, and he shook my hand to say goodbye.

I have been the prime minister of the world for twenty years, and I have made countless enemies, and after my death, all the children who have enjoyed the glory and glory will inevitably suffer. You are intended to seek immortality, which is a great blessing. If God gives me another chance, I will definitely choose to be a god in heaven and not suffer from this labor in the mortal world.

When he was finished, he passed away, and his disciples bowed to the ground and cried.

After Li Linfu's death, Yang Guo advised him to plot a rebellion, and Li Longji was furious and ordered people to confiscate Li Linfu's family property, remove his sons, and exile Him to Lingnan Qianzhong. Li Longji also ordered people to split Li Linfu's coffin, dig out the beads contained in Li Linfu's mouth, peel off the golden and purple imperial clothes, and use a small coffin to bury him with the ceremony of a shuren.

The deeper the love, the more the hatred. At first, how heavy it was to rely on, and then how cool it was.

Li Tengkong later entered the Lushan Mountains to practice in seclusion, practiced asceticism for many years, and finally became enlightened, often saving people from suffering and healing diseases, relying on them near and far. Li Bai went to Lushan to cultivate, paid a special visit to Li Tengkong, and gave Shiyun: "Envy the king and the door woman, love the Tao and love the gods." Plain hands pluck autumn mist, Luo Yi trailing purple smoke. Stacked on the screen, riding a jade whip. ”

Li Linfu's last day: looking at the beautiful face in front of the bed, regretting why he did not become a god in the first place

Sima Guang, the author of the Zizhi Tongjian, commented on Li Linfu, saying: Li Linfu is a face, and those who hope to make meritorious deeds come out of their own right and are favored by the superior, and who will be forced to force themselves to do everything they can; especially those who are jealous of literature, or yang, who are good with them, will be willing to say something and fall into the shadows. It is said that Li Linfu "has honey in his mouth and a sword in his belly." The various Dao Festivals made all the use of the Hu people, the elite soldiers were in the north, the world was heavier, and the LuShan Mountain was overthrown, all out of Lin Fu's plot to favor the position.

In a word, it can be summed up: Li Linfu is too selfish.

The Zizhi Tongjian is a textbook written by Sima Guang for nineteen years to the rule of the Song Shenzong, and has been praised by countless high-ranking people for more than a thousand years.

Wang Yinglin, a historian of the Southern Song Dynasty, said: "Since the existence of the book deed, there has never been a person like the "General Commentary". ”

At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Hu San Province: "If you do not know the Tongjian as a king, you want to rule but do not know the source of autonomy, and if you do not know the art of preventing chaos, if you are a subject and do not know the Tongjian, you will not be able to do anything to the king, and you will not be able to rule the people below; if you do not know the Tongjian as a son of man, you will be humiliated first, and it is not enough to do things later." ”

Zeng Guofan of the Qing Dynasty: "Stealing the book of the ancestors and astonishing the world, Mo is good at Sima Wenzheng's "Zizhi Tongjian", and its ancient treatises are eclectic and open-minded." ”

The old man has commented on the Zizhi Tongjian seventeen times, almost read through, many pages are glued with transparent tape, he commented: "Every reading benefits a lot." A rare good book... There are two great books in China, one is the "Records of History" and the other is the "Zizhi Tongjian", both of which are written by talented people in the context of political disillusionment... The "Tongjian" writes about war, which is really written with vigor and vigor, very expressive, and full of dialectics. ”

Doctor Feng Tang read the "Zizhi Tongjian" five times, and then went to a multinational consulting company to become a partner, with a net worth of hundreds of millions. He said that I had been watching it since I was in middle school, and after reading it several times and meditating on it, I could give advice to the emperor in the book, and if I didn't do what I said, I would "weep to the palace" if I didn't do it.

All in all, the Zizhi Tongjian is a guide to how we live and work. Now people like to read in pieces, fast food reading, in fact, these readings are not very helpful to people. Fast food has no nutrition, it is high in oil and salt, and it will only make you eat greasy and fat. Fragment reading is like a dry food snack, no matter how full you eat, you can't compare with a meal. "Zizhi Tongjian" is a big meal, we have to read it repeatedly, read it several times, we can cultivate human feelings and be insightful in the world. What workplace sense soul chicken soup, it's all packed.

Read books with tenacity, but also within comfort. Otherwise it is not enjoyment, but suffering. Every day, you don't need to read two pages, and you can basically read a historical story. After reading and taking some notes, summarize what is written in this paragraph, what help you have, in less than a year, your ability to deal with the world can crush ninety percent of the people around you.

For a grassroots, how can you improve yourself, stand out, be valued by leaders, and adapt to a competitive society? There is nothing but reading, reading good books. Everything is inferior, but the reading is high. Don't believe that reading is useless, the person who says this is either stupid or bad, or he does not recognize the importance of reading, and has not tasted the benefits of reading. Reading can really change your destiny, especially if the people around you don't read, you have to read. This way you can go one step higher and complete the class jump.

Encourage the kings.
