Text/ Zhao Xinfang
In the main history, the record of Gao Li is unknown, not only is there no biography of him, but there are also two theories about his place of origin, as well as Kaifeng in Henan and Meixian in Guangdong. Just like the source of understanding of Cao Cao and Pan Renmei, many people in later generations have a deep impression on him based on novels.
A bad official who is not a scholar, nor a master of martial arts, how can he enter the career and sit on a hot high position?
The Southern Song Dynasty Wang Mingqing's "Records of the Aftermath of the Swinging of the Crane" states: Gao Liren, Mr. Ben Dongpo's small history, Caozha Quite Gong. Dongpo was sent from Hanyuan to Zhongshan, and left it for Zeng Wensu, who had resigned from Shi Ling, and Dongpo belonged to Wang Jinqing.
The meaning of the statement is: Gao Li was originally a hanlin attendant to read the small history of Su Shi (about the role of document management and copying staff). In the eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1093), Before Su Shi was transferred from Asakuri to Zhongshan Province, he introduced him to Zengbu to work. Zeng Bu refused on the grounds that he was not inferior, so Su Shi recommended Gao Li to his iron brother Wang Jie (Wang Jinqing).
(Gao Li and Emperor Huizong of Song)
According to research, the maternal grandfather of Wang Mingqing, the author of the "Record of Swinging Cranes", was the son of Zeng Bu, and the author's record of this matter is extremely credible.
Why did Su University Sergeant so bother to introduce him to work? Although Gao Li has an average appearance and is not called a handsome man, he is highly well-behaved in emotional intelligence, can sing poetry, is good at calligraphy, and can also dance guns and sticks... The person who can enter the eyes of the university scholar has at least a few talents, Oh, Lao Su is treating him as a person to cherish and care.
Wang Yi was a master of calligraphy and painting, the brother-in-law of Emperor Shenzong of Song and the uncle of Zhao Yao, the Duan King. Wang Yi and Zhao Yao, two stupid children, like to play around in and out of the Qinglou together, counting a pair of good friends who have not forgotten their friends but have forgotten their generations.
One day, Wang Yi slept late and got up late because he had been wandering at night for too long, and the next morning he was too late to comb and rush to the morning court, and when he arrived outside the palace, he quickly took out a grate from his arms to take care of his hair. It just so happened that Zhao Yao didn't have time to comb through the early dynasty that day, and when he borrowed Wang Xue's grate, he found that this object was exquisitely made and exaggerated it vigorously while using it. Wang Xie said that it just so happens that there is still one in the house, so I will send it to you.
After the fall of the dynasty, Wang Yi sent Gao Qi to send the grate he kept to Zhao Tuo. Gao Li walked into the Duanwang Mansion and saw Zhao Li and a group of people playing football. Gao Li waited to watch. When the kick was the most exciting, Gao Li used his full breath and shouted "good"!
It attracted zhao yao's attention and casually asked: You can also kick?
Gao Li quickly replied: The villain is the best at playing football.
Zhao Li asked Gao Li to kick and kick to see. Gao Li hurriedly took off his coat and walked into the heap, concentrating, and using a full set of skills to kick up, that posture and level cute, handsome, cool, what about Zhao Biao on the side? I was completely amazed to see it. After playing the ball, before even the sweat could be wiped, Zhao Yao sent someone to tell Wang Yi: You're welcome, I want the grate and the person who sent the grate.
More than a month later, Emperor Zhezong of Song died, and King Duan was chosen by Empress Xiang, who was in charge of the imperial government, to succeed him as Emperor Huizong of Song. "Unintentionally planting willows into the shade" Yo, Gao Li suddenly became a red man around the emperor.
The Song Dynasty implemented the policy of "promoting literature and suppressing martial arts" for those who entered the system as officials, and attached great importance to academic qualifications. The civil officials above the county order are basically served as jinshi from the third examination. Although the rank and rank of the warlords were not low, they were not as good as the power and prestige of the courtiers.
Although Gao Li is a multi-talented person, he has not undergone ten years of systematic study, his cultural level is not good, and it is unrealistic to become a scholar if he wants to pass the scientific examination. The requirements for military personnel qualifications are relatively low, and promotion is flexible. It is more realistic for people like Gao Li. However, the song dynasty also had regulations on the appointment of military attaches, and without military merit, he could not be the chief of the three courts.
Zhao Tuo was an emperor with good talents, but he did not have the heart and the ability to govern the country, and he focused his main energy on the wind and the moon, playing football and playing. After Gao Li, who could take advantage of the drill camp, became Zhao Li's big red man, Zhao Li took a lot of effort to promote Gao Li. Decentralizing the base layer after gilding and then carrying it is undoubtedly a good and effective method since ancient times.
(Gao Li was captured alive by Liangshan)
The Biography of the Ten Generals of Song Nandu(宋南渡) volume 1 describes: The upper position is on the throne, and he wants to show his promotion. In the old law, unless there is a side merit, it must not be three ya. Shi (Liu) Zhongwu was the Bian Shuai, and the Upper Was given the Title of Commander of the Imperial Household, and the Qiang Jing was the Commander of the Palace with the Title of Bian Gong.
According to the modern language, after Zhao Tuo succeeded to the throne, he intended to promote Gao Li as an officer, but according to the regulations, he could only hold military positions if he had military merit. At that time, Liu Zhongwu was the commander of the border defense army, and Zhao Li ordered Gao Li to serve in Liu Zhongwu's department (it is said that he was appointed as the superintendent of the army). Gao Li returned to the court after making meritorious contributions to border defense.
However, neither the history of Cha Zheng nor the collected history of the wilderness has any specific record of Gao Li's military merits in border defense. According to the historical records, in the third year of Chongning (1104), Tubo Zhao Huaide and other rebels against the Song, Liu Zhongwu led his troops to suppress the rebellion, because of his good command, defeated the rebels, forcing Zhao Huaide and others to surrender. In the second year of Daguan (1108), Tong Guan and Liu Zhongwu led their troops to fight a major victory on the western border, successfully recruiting the rebellious Qiang prince Zang Zheng's servant brother and recovering the Jishi army. Zhao Tuo was very happy and personally received Liu Zhongwu and other generals...
According to the analysis of literary and historical experts, the capital of Gao Qi's promotion is the experience of serving as a supervisor in Liu Zhongwu's army. Liu Zhongwu was a very clever man, well aware of The purpose of His Majesty's arrangement of Gao Li to work in his own troops, and when he triumphantly returned to the court, he greatly praised Gao Li. After winning the battle, Shunshui people did nothing in vain, not only getting closer to Gao Qi, but also greatly pleasing the emperor.
Gao Li has a characteristic of this person, and he will be kind to those who have favored him. For example, although Su Dongpo's career was not smooth, there was a wild history, he "did not forget the Su clan, and every time his sons entered the capital, they gave a pension and diligence." ”
No matter how Gao Li was promoted in his post, his relationship with Liu Zhongwu had always been very close, and Liu Zhongwu still tried his best to excuse him after losing the battle.
Gao Li was responsible for commanding the forbidden army defending the imperial city, he played a lot of flower racks in the training of the troops, according to Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Dream Hualu" record: Gao Li presided over the army water competition, the beginning was four horizontal row of colorful boats, the boats were arranged with large flags, lions and leopards, knives, barbarian cards, gods, ghosts, acrobatics and other juggling, and then two music boats in the horizontal column, many musicians playing and singing on it. In the official start of the bid competition, the participating ships followed the small flags swung on the command ship, constantly moving their positions, posing various tricks such as "spiraling", "sea eye", and "cross-head".
Ordinary people can see that this is training, it is completely lively entertainment. But Zhao Tuo was very satisfied when he saw it.
Gao Li was not only indifferent to the news that the Jin State was preparing to invade the Northern Song Dynasty on a large scale, but also intensified his pampering and selfishness. According to the "Jing Kang Essentials", on May 20 of the first year of Jing Kang, a minister exposed Gao Li to Zhao during the Shang Dynasty, saying that he had built a private residence on the land belonging to his own military camp. The forbidden soldiers who defended the imperial city were treated as private servants, and they were told to build their own private houses, work directly with craftsmanship, and spend money without craftsmanship to hire craftsmen to replace them. Soldiers who have money can pay money to avoid training; those who have no money can make money to earn money for themselves.
The forbidden army has become a decoration of "people do not know the soldiers, and none of them are available" arrangement. It is a pity that Zhao Tuo listened to the revelations of the ministers and was indifferent.
According to the degree of civilization at that time, the Jin Dynasty was the lowest, followed by the Khitan and the highest in the Northern Song Dynasty. After defeating the Khitan with 200,000 troops, he invaded the Northern Song Dynasty. Although the Jin Dynasty was powerful, it never took much effort to break through the capital city of Kaifeng, and hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops quickly collapsed.
Gao Li is such a decadent who understands the world.
