Hometown of Fang Xuanling

Fang, a great sage, lived more than 1300 years ago, but he will always live in the hearts of people in his hometown. The house was originally built to commemorate Fang's achievements, but after his death, his son and daughter-in-law committed crimes and the monument was demolished. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Hao Minzhong, a poet from Zhangqiu, wrote in "Hanging the House Beam". Our hometown is empty. Shashi still remembers Fangjiazhai, and the ruins are stacked with temple walls. What is rare is that within this "temple wall", after all, precious records have been left, which are clearly remembered by knowledgeable old people; There is a temple in Fangzhuang village, which the villagers call "Dongtou Temple". Under the two towering ancient cypresses in the temple, there is a monument with the title: "Fang was originally named Tang." Born in Sri Lanka, grew up in Sri Lanka, became famous in Sri Lanka ... ". This inscription and poem have been handed down from generation to generation.

Fang has been alert and clever since childhood, and is good at calligraphy and writing. /kloc-at the age of 0/8, he was promoted to Jinshi, and was awarded the title of secretary of the provincial school at the end of Sui Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (58 1 ~ 600), when the world was unified, Fang secretly told his father that the emperor had no virtue and no right, although he would not stay in the throne for long.

Fang, whose real name is Joe, was born in Linzi, Jizhou, and was a county commandant in Sui Dynasty. After the uprising of Tang Gaozu and his son, Fang went to visit Weibei. At first sight, Fang was immediately entrusted with a heavy responsibility and became a confidant. He has been fighting with the army for a long time, planning and collecting talents for Li Shimin. He is as famous as Du Ruhui and has become one of the two most important staff officers in Li Shimin. He is called "Fang Mou Du Duan". Fang Lingxuan planned the famous "Xuanwumen Change" for Li Shimin and helped him win the throne. After emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he was rated as a first-class hero, and later served as the left servant of Shangshu, that is, the prime minister, leading hundreds of officials and ruling for 20 years. He selected talents for Emperor Taizong, taught students in accordance with their aptitude, formulated national laws and regulations, and participated in the compilation of national history.

Fang was born in an official family. His ancestors were officials from the Northern Dynasty to the Wei Dynasty. His father Fang Yan Qian is a scholar. He was the magistrate of Jingyang County in Sui Dynasty, and he was an honest official. Fang has been alert since childhood, and a good family environment has enabled him to learn a lot, so he is well-read and good at writing articles. He is as calm as his father in political sensitivity and often makes incisive comments on current affairs. During the reign of Sui Dynasty, Fang Lingxuan followed his father to Chang 'an, the capital of China. At that time, the world was peaceful, and everyone thought that the Sui Dynasty would be able to maintain long-term stability. At that time, Fang was still young, but his eyes were sharp. He said quietly to his father, "Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty has no merit, but he has usurped the world. His sons vied with each other for the throne. Although it looks peaceful now, it is impossible to die. " Fang Yan Qian was frightened and stopped his son from saying such things, but he agreed very much. Fang has been concerned about politics since he was a child. He has seen it thoroughly and hit the nail on the head.

At the age of eighteen, Fang was elected as a scholar by the local authorities and was awarded the titles of official, feather and riding captain. When he went to the official department to catch the exam, Gao, the assistant minister in charge of personnel, was famous for his good knowledge of people. When asked, he was very surprised at his talent and said, "I have met too many people, but I have never seen such a young Lang. He will certainly succeed in the future. "

In the first year of Yining in Sui Dynasty (AD 6 17), Li Yuan and his son set out to move to the north of Weihe River in Li Shimin. Fang knocked with a cane, and the two hit it off immediately, and immediately named him as a clerk (confidential staff officer) in the army. Fang admitted that he met a bosom friend, and since then he has tried his best to help this genius who is only 19 years old. After Li Shimin won every battle, everyone went for the treasure. Only Fang was the first to collect talents for the king of Qin. Since then, Li Shimin's civil servants and military commanders have gathered together and are willing to work for him to the death.

Fang's greatest contribution before he acceded to the throne was to help plot to launch Xuanwu Gate and seize the throne with Du Ruhui. There are no specific facts listed in the history books, but Fang's good plan and Du Ruhui's decision-making were really fully exerted in the Xuanwu Gate.
