"Your Majesty, Xuan Ling, the kyoto left-guard, sent a whistleblower from Chang'an, and is now outside the tent waiting to be summoned."
Li Shimin was very surprised, and before he personally conquered Goryeo, he handed over the power of the court to the chancellor Fang Xuanling and entrusted him with cheap behavior. With Fang Xuanling's ability and personality, he would definitely not push such a small matter as informing to the emperor who was on the front line and was busy with military affairs. He thought about it for a moment and understood the deep meaning.
Sure enough, the evil person in the mouth of the informant was Fang Xuanling. After li shimin did not say a word, he pushed the informer out of the account and beheaded the public, and then wrote a letter accusing Fang Xuanling of not being confident enough and sent it to Chang'an.
The two junchen looked at each other and smiled at the letter, and the whistle-blowing incident ended with the tacit cooperation of Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling. However, Fang Xuanling did not dare to let down his vigilance, he knew very well:
"Politics is a game played by smart people."
This is a small story about the power struggle between Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling in the Tang history reading "Bloody Sheng Tang", Li Shimin is satisfied with Fang Xuanling's lack of arbitrariness and arbitrariness, but on the surface he wants to show a mind that employs people without doubt. In the face of Li Shimin, who was in full swing with the use of imperial techniques, how did Fang Xuanling evade the traps projected by Li Shimin again and again?
Famous XiangFang Xuan Ling
Fang Xuanling was a native of Linzi, and when he was a teenager, he accurately predicted the outcome of the Sui Dynasty. Li Shimin crossed the Weishui River to attack Chang'an, and Fang Xuanling took the lead in casting and became Li Shimin's confidant. After following Li Shimin for several years, Fang Xuanling recruited a large number of talents to send to the Qin King's Palace, and he and Du Ruyi also became Li Shimin's most important right and left arms.
Before the change of Xuanwu Gate, Fang Xuanling had repeatedly advised Li Shimin to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's brothers, but they were all rejected by Li Shimin. Li Jiancheng was very afraid of Fang Xuanling, and at the opportunity of Li Shimin's delay in moving, he found a good opportunity to transfer Fang Xuanling out of the Qin Palace and keep him away from Li Shimin.
However, when Li Shimin made up his mind to launch the Xuanwumen Revolution and invited Fang Xuanling to participate, Fang Xuanling could not come to the hospital. Enraged, Li Shimin drew his sword and handed it to Wei Chi Jingde, ordering him to go to Fang Xuanling's mansion again, and once Fang Xuanling resigned, he was stabbed to death.
Wei Chi Jingde's arrival made Fang Xuanling see Li Shimin's determination. He had already sharpened his sword to launch the Xuanwu Gate rebellion, but the Lord hesitated, so he deliberately tested Li Shimin.
The arrival of Fang Xuanling increased the chances of success of Li Shimin's coup d'état, and he also became one of the five great dukes after the change of Xuanwumen, ranking in the Zhongshu Order, below one person, above ten thousand people.
However, this was only the beginning of Fang Xuanling's nightmare.
Fang Xuanling contributed more in the change of Xuanwu Gate
Since the beginning of the Zhenguan dynasty, Li Shimin's beating of Fang Xuanling has not been broken, and he often publicly condemns Fang Xuanling because of some unwarranted trivial matters, frightening him into prostrating himself, panicking, and not eating well.
In addition to condemnation, Li Shimin will also remove Fang Xuanling from his post. Ten years after Zhenguan, Li Shimin dismissed Fang Xuanling from the post of Zhongshu Ling for no reason, and ordered him to go home to reflect, Fang Xuanling did not know what crime he had committed, and he was terrified every day, lest he be destroyed. Later, under the advice of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin recalled Fang Xuanling and continued to entrust him with heavy responsibilities.
Twenty years after Zhenguan, Li Shimin dismissed Fang Xuanling for no reason, and the Yellow Gate attendant Chu Suiliang advised him, and Li Shimin reopened Fang Xuanling again.
The third time, after Li Shimin drove Fang Xuanling away, no one came to advise. The courtiers understood Li Shimin's trick, and Fang Xuanling, who was in the whirlpool, was not impatient, only Li Shimin was worried. He could dry the room for a few days, but he must not let him cultivate at home for half a month, and the big things and small affairs in the dprk still need his decision.
Li Shimin suppressed Fang Xuanling
Therefore, the clever Li Shimin deliberately declared that he would go to the Furong Garden, and going to the Furong Garden would definitely pass through Fang Xuanling's palace gate. A scene in which the emperor stopped by to visit the meritorious old man who was idle at home, and lamented the impermanence of the world, bringing him back to the court was born. Li Shimin found a step for himself, and Fang Xuanling only needed to silently cooperate with him to act.
As for why Li Shimin suppressed Fang Xuanling so much, the root cause was that Fang Xuanling's power was too great. He was originally a meritorious servant and a Zhongshu Ling, and there were countless courtiers recommended by him in the imperial court. Li Shimin needed to test his control of power by removing Fang Xuanling from his official position, showing the supremacy of his imperial power, and letting Fang Xuanling and his ministers understand that there was an insurmountable gap between the king and the subjects.
And Li Shimin will not really abandon Fang Xuanling, and if he wants to build a rare prosperous world, Li Shimin cannot do without Fang Xuanling. But Fang Xuanling must be able to reassure Li Shimin, although he has already understood Li Shimin's imperial skills in the panic of his first dismissal, and he must also cooperate with Li Shimin's performances anytime and anywhere. Fang Xuanling's decades of humble resignation were not only for Li Shimin to see, but also for courtiers.
Li Shimin made good use of imperial techniques
In getting along with Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling has achieved the ultimate, but he still can't avoid the sudden disaster. Since the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin's sense of guilt has increased day by day, and he especially wants to see Shi Guan's self. However, Chu Suiliang, who was responsible for revising the living notes, did not eat his set at all, and relentlessly refused Li Shimin's request:
"Never have I ever heard of an emperor personally watching his own history."
The Yellow Gate attendant Liu Xun was more blunt than Chu Suiliang: "If a person makes a mistake, even if Chu Suiliang can't write it down, the people of the world will write it down." ”
Li Shimin touched a nose of ash, which he expected, Chu Suiliang and Liu Huan were both soft and hard courtiers, and would not give him the opportunity to rewrite history at all. So he thought of Fang Xuanling, the prime minister, and through Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin saw the records of Emperor Taizong, but Fang Xuanling handed him only a newly revised fragment of the history book, not the original version, and Li Shimin was very angry and angrily rebuked Fang Xuanling for cheating on him.
Fang Xuanling had no choice but to present the original manuscript of the xuanwumen change to Li Shimin, and under the guidance of Li Shimin's advice, Fang Xuanling was forced to personally handle the sword and rewrite the history book for Li Shimin.
Li Shimin forced Fang Xuanling to falsify history
However, in the history we see now, the story of Li Shimin launching the Xuanwumen Rebellion to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's brothers has not been deleted. So, what is the specific content of Li Shimin's request for Fang Xuanling to tamper with?
Judging from the change in Hou Junji's title and the performance of the change in Xuanwu Gate, fang Xuanling tampered with exactly a story of Hou Junji entering the palace and holding Li Yuan hostage, and only by doing something to his own father could he truly make Li Shimin feel guilty for half his life.
The only person who can help Li Shimin cover up this period of history is Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling changed the history book
Li Shimin's reward for Fang Xuanling was also incomparable to that of other heroes, his daughter Princess Gaoyang married Fang Xuanling's second son Fang Xuanling, and his younger brother Li Yuanjia, the King of Han, married Fang Xuanling's daughter, and Li Shimin had to be both defensive and co-opted with Fang Xuanling.
In 645, Li Shimin personally marched on Goryeo and handed over the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan to the chancellor Fang Xuanling, who was carrying a heavy burden, and Fang Xuanling, who was carrying a heavy burden, was even more cautious and cautious, especially when someone sued him, he did not hesitate to send the informant to Li Shimin, which was his loyalty, and also conveyed one thing to Li Shimin: Fang Xuanling did not dare to monopolize power.
It was Fang Xuanling's years of caution that allowed him to preserve the glory and wealth of his descendants on his deathbed. However, as soon as he died, the Fang family became lively, and Princess Gaoyang and the monk of debated the opportunity to mess with the relationship between men and women, framing Fang Xuanling's eldest son Fang Zhizhi to harass her, and Fang Yizhi also sued Princess Gaoyang and her brother Fang Yi'ai for rebellion.
As a result, only five years after Fang Xuanling's death, Fang Yi'ai was killed, Fang's descendants were exiled, Fang Xuanling's portrait was withdrawn from Ling yan Pavilion, and Tang Gaozong simultaneously revoked his treatment of enjoying the Temple.
Fang Xuanling's descendants are difficult to preserve
Wang Jueren in "Bloody Tang Dynasty" focused on the caution of Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin in the process of getting along, from Fang Xuanling's performance, the reason why Li Shimin did not kill heroes on a large scale was inseparable from his imperial skills and the scheming and power change of his courtiers.
"Fang Xuanling will abide by the duties of his courtiers in any situation, even if he does the Zhongshu Order, he will never overstep his bounds." He always maximizes the value in the rules of the game formulated by Li Shimin, and at the same time sets off Li Shimin's wise divine martial arts, when it is necessary to be invisible, Fang Xuanling does not hesitate to retreat to the second line, when it is time to come out and act as the head of the wrong, he will bear the ridicule of manchu Wenwu to carry the black cauldron for Li Shimin. Two extremely intelligent people together, they only need to play their own role according to the rules of the game, and everything will be fine. ”
