During the kaiyuan period (7 13-74 1), he was promoted to a scholar, was appointed as the censor for four times, and moved to the temple to serve the censor. Rejected by Yang, the powerful minister at that time, he was demoted to the plain (now Shandong) as a satrap. Known as Yan Pingyuan. During Su Zong's reign, Fengxiang granted the minister of constitutional affairs and moved to the imperial history. During the reign of Emperor Zong, the official department was the minister and the prince was the teacher. He was named Duke Lu, and people called him Duke.
In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong led an Anshi Rebellion. He contacted his brother Yan Gaoqing to arise and resist, and seventeen counties nearby were promoted to champions accordingly, with 200,000 troops, which made An Lushan afraid to rush to attack Tongguan. In the first year of Dezong Xingyuan, Li Xilie rebelled in Huaixi. The traitor Qilu took the opportunity to kill him by Li Xilie and sent someone to persuade him to be hanged by Li Xilie. Hearing that Yan Zhenqing was killed, the soldiers of the three armed forces burst into tears.
Six months later, the rebel general Li Xilie was killed by one of his own, and the rebellion was put down. Yan Zhenqing's coffin was escorted back to Beijing and buried in the Yanshi Ancestral Hall in Jingzhao for ten thousand years. Dezong painstakingly wrote a letter, announcing the abolition of the DPRK for five days, and the whole country mourned. De Zongqin issued an imperial edict, remembering Yan Zhenqing's life as "superior to Kuang Guo, loyal to the body, endowed with organic talents, outstanding public loyalty, loyal to the four dynasties, tired of being held hostage, tireless in death, observing its heyday and remaining in reality". He is honest, clean and honest, has a sense of justice, never condescends to the powerful, condescends to flatter, and is famous for his benevolence and righteousness.
Multi-Pagoda Monument: Multi-Pagoda Monument is an important inscription in the Tang Dynasty and a representative work of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty. According to textual research, this tablet was made by Yan Zhenqing at the age of 44. It is a smaller word in the inscription of Yan Shu, and it is the representative work of Yan Zhenqing's early regular script. This tablet has even fonts, rigorous statutes, rich brushwork and beautiful scenery. Wang Mingshizhen's "Four Drafts of Yizhou Mountain People" says: [This post is especially sweet, but it is expensive, small and elegant, and there is no hatred for history. ]
