Ranking fifth among the twenty-four heroes of LingYange was Fang Xuanling, the Duke of Liangguo, who, like Du Ruqian, was also an important strategist of Li Shimin. Li Shimin Xuanwumen incident, Fang Xuanling is also a great contribution. The five first heroes of the Xuanwumen Incident were: Changsun Wuji, Wei Chigong, Du Ruyi, Fang Xuanling, and Hou Junji. Fang Xuanling is among them.
During the Tang Dynasty, there were too many famous generals. In the Zhenguan Dynasty, which was full of martial virtue, too many people were not selected into the Twenty-Four Meritorious Heroes of Ling Yan Pavilion. The criteria for being selected as the twenty-four heroes of Ling Yan Pavilion, in addition to making meritorious contributions when fighting the world, and having made great efforts in the Xuanwumen Incident, also had an iron relationship with the "boss" Li Shimin.
Fang Xuanling's relationship with Li Shimin is good because Fang Xuanling knows what Li Shimin needs and knows to consider li Shimin.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > "Planning, Tang Zhi Xiao He"</h1>
Fang Xuanling, a native of Linzi County, Qizhou. Before defecting to Li Shimin, he and Du Ruqian had both served as officials of the Sui Dynasty. After Li Yuan's Taiyuan rebellion, Fang Xuanling surrendered to Li Shimin in Weibei. Fang Xuanling was born in 579 AD, and Li Yuan's Taiyuan army was raised in 617 AD. At this time, Fang Xuanling was already a 38-year-old middle-aged man, and he was almost 20 years older than Li Shimin. At this time, Fang Xuanling, for Li Shimin, he is more like an old and heavy "housekeeper". In the process of Li Shimin's fight against the world, many things he did were more like Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty.
After defecting to Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling was the secretary of the dian office and joined the army as the secretary of the Qin Dynasty. After each expedition, the first thing in the army was to search for gold, silver and treasure, and only Fang Xuanling wanted to recruit talents for Li Shimin, bring the fierce generals under Li Shimin's command, and enhance Li Shimin's strength and influence. Like the later Du Ruhan, Zhang Liang, Li Daliang and others, they were all recommended by Fang Xuanling to Li Shimin. Later, they were all reused by Li Shimin and made a great contribution to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin was later able to pacify the world, and in the Xuanwumen Incident, he was able to compete with Prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji without these talents. Fang Xuanling understood that in the chaotic world, the most important thing is first of all talent. He did not seek selfish interests for himself, but put himself in the shoes of Li Shimin, which is especially valuable in the chaotic world.
Every time the thief was flattened, the crowd competed for treasure, and Xuan Ling alone received the character first, to the shogunate. And the fierce generals who have conspired with them, all of them have made a secret connection with it, and each has done his best to die. - Old Book of Tang
Fang Xuanling has been in the Qin Dynasty for more than ten years and is responsible for the work of the case. Drafted documents for Li Shimin. During his long career as a horseman, many of the papers were done on horseback. Every time Li Shimin wanted Fang Xuanling to draft a sonata, Fang Xuanling always understood that he would complete it immediately, and each time he wrote a sonata, it was very in line with Li Yuan's wishes. Tang Taizong Li Shimin commented on him: "Planning and planning, and fixing the merits of the society." Li Yuan was also full of praise when he saw his recital.
Gao Zu said to the attendant: "This person is well-informed and suitable, and he is enough to be appointed." Every time he does something for my son, he will meet the hearts of the people, thousands of miles away, and he will speak to each other. - Old Book of Tang
Fang Xuanling's role in Li Shimin was largely relative to Liu Bang's Xiao He. At Li Shimin's side, he was planning for him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Xuanwumen hero</h1>
The importance of Fang Xuanling, prince Li Jiancheng, of course, is also understood. How much Li Shimin liked him, how much Li Jiancheng hated him.
Before the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng wrote to Li Yuan. Fang Xuanling Du Ruhan and others were expelled from the Qin King's Palace. He wanted to weaken Li Shimin's power. Removing the "House Conspiracy" is equivalent to removing Li Shimin's left arm and right arm.
Li Shimin wanted to kill Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji. You have to need Fang Du and the two of you. However, Fang Du and the two men left the Qin Palace on Li Yuan's orders. Returning without permission is a capital offense. Li Shimin was afraid that Fang Du and the two would not dare to return, and the famous lieutenant Chi Gong took his sabre and forced them to return. Fang Du and the two, disguised as Taoist priests, infiltrated the Qin King's Mansion, which led to the later Xuanwumen Incident.
Emperor Taizong ordered the eldest grandson to summon Xuan Ling and Ru Obscure, ordered the Daoist priests to obey, and sneaked into the cabinet to plan. - Old Book of Tang
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > in charge of the canonical system and select officials</h1>
In the first year of Zhenguan, he worshiped Zhongshu Ling and was enfeoffed as the Duke of Xing. He was responsible for comprehensively managing the government and politics, as well as revising the history of the country and compiling the Book of Jin.
When Fang Xuanling and Du Ruyi were founded at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, they were responsible for formulating various canonical systems. In the early Tang Dynasty, all the laws, systems, and ritual music were all written by the two men.
Fang Xuanling attaches great importance to the management of officials, and in the selection of officials, advocates the selection of fair, upright and honest people. Abolish streamlined personnel. Make the Tang Dynasty officials one of the new.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > after Du Ruyi's death, Li Shimin relied more heavily on Fang Xuanling. </h1>
In February of the third year of Zhenguan (629), Fang Xuanling changed his title to Duke of Wei and made Shangshu Zuo a servant. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan (637), he was enfeoffed as the Duke of Liang. In the ninth year of Zhenguan, he was awarded the title of Kaifu Yi and the Third Division. Zhenguan thirteen years, crown prince young master.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > monarch-vassal relationship</h1>
Li Shimin has a good relationship with Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling played to Li Shimin, never like Wei Zheng, with fierce words. He was good at guessing Li Shimin's intentions. Every time I go to the book, it is very close to Li Shimin's heart.
And Li Shimin's treatment of Fang Xuanling's family is also the emperor's grace. His daughter became a concubine of king Han, and his son Fang Yi'ai married Princess Gaoyang. He and Li Shimin became sons and daughters.
In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, Fang Xuanling was seriously ill, and Li Shimin sent an imperial doctor to provide imperial food and personally visit the illness. Fengfang's will is the Right Guard Zhonglang General, and the Fang's will is Zhongsan Doctor. He even carried the seriously ill Fang Xuanling to his palace and slept with him in the same room. On his deathbed, he shook hands with Fang Xuanling and parted.
On July 24, 2002, Fang Xuanling died of illness at the age of seventy. Li Shimin abolished the dynasty for three days, posthumously gave the title of Taiwei, the nickname "Wen Zhao", and buried Zhaoling.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the good phase of the Tang Dynasty</h1>
Fang Xuanling was favored by Li Shimin, and li Shimin was close to the family, which was extremely prominent. But he never showed off in front of people, but was humble and cautious everywhere.
In the usual work, do your best, get up early and go to bed late. Treat things fairly and generously. Talent selection is never nepotism. He has served as the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty for so many years, appointing people on the basis of merit and not distinguishing between lowliness and inferiority. His reputation is very good, and he has a good reputation.
Pray for the night, do your best, do not want to lose a place. Hear that there is goodness in man, if he has it. Mingda officials, decorated with literature, approved decrees, intended to be lenient. Do not seek to prepare others, do not use their own long qualities, and can receive as they please, and there is no separation from inferiority. Commentators call it good looks.
Among the Tang Dynasty sages, the first push fang Du, and then the push Yao Song.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > sons and daughters-in-law rebel, and the family is implicated</h1>
After Fang Xuanling's death, the family's situation was similar to that of Du Ruqian's family. Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yi'ai and his daughter-in-law Princess Gaoyang were accused of rebellion, their eligibility to enjoy the Taimiao Temple was revoked, Fang Yi'ai was executed, Fang Yi'ai was demoted to Tongling Wei, and the rest of the sons were exiled to Lingnan, and the family was defeated.
The Fang family married the daughter-in-law of Princess Gaoyang, and it can be said that she has been moldy for eight lifetimes. Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yi loves and nests. Princess Gaoyang secretly had an affair with the debater monk, and Fang Yi'ai went to see the door instead.
Princess Gaoyang has been favored by Li Shimin since she was a child, and is naturally a pearl in the palm of her hand, but she has also spoiled her. Li Shimin gave Princess Xu of Gaoyang to the Fang family, also to show his respect for Fang Xuanling, but who could have imagined that in the end, the Fang family would be destroyed.
