Li Fugui's calligraphy

Zitongzhi Tang Jian Ji 58

As one of the eight great poets in Tang and Song Dynasties, Han Yu was a great official among poets and had a successful career.

Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher at that time, was sent by Tang Dezong to the military camp of Li Xilie, our time in Huaixi, and was finally killed.

Han Yu is also facing the same test.

Tang Muzong sent Han Yu to Wang Ting to gather together a military camp. He is also an emissary. Almost killed by Wang Ting, but Han Yu also showed courage and strategy, and saved the day.

Wang Ting, with the help of Wang Ting, was born in the Abs tribe of the Uighurs, and was subordinate to Anton Duhu for generations.

Great-grandfather was the adopted son of Wang, and changed his surname to the riding general of Wang, serving as the official's son of Cheng Dejun.

In the first year of Changqing (82 1), Wang tingmi murdered more than 300 people, including Tian, his generals and his family. Wang Ting, who claimed to be our time, knew the soldiers and horses, and forced Song Weicheng, an army inspector, to serve on the table, demanding a holiday lottery.

Li Hengda, furious, sent a letter to enlist the troops of neighboring countries, appointed me as the second ambassador of Pei Du in Hedong, appointed Tian Zi and I Jingyuan as my ambassador, and succeeded me as my ambassador, ordering him to lead the army of Wei Zhou to win over Wang Ting.

At the same time, Wang Chengzong's Shenzhou Cishi Niu was appointed as our ambassador to Germany, and Wang Ting was offered a reward for his head.

Zhu Kerong and Wang Ting promised to remove the troops that surrounded China, so Tang Muzong officially praised them.

In fact, Wang Ting's troops are still at the gate of China.

In order to further verify the situation and solve the problem, Tang Muzong appointed Han Yu as the ambassador to Wang Ting and convened a military camp.

When Han Yu was leaving, all the officials were worried about his safety.

Mu Zong ordered Han Yu to observe the changes of the situation after reaching the border with Germany, and not to rush into the country to prevent accidents.

Han Yu said: "The emperor ordered me to suspend entry out of kindness and concern for my personal safety; However, as a courtier, I have an obligation to carry out your orders and am not afraid of death. "

So he resolutely went.

After arriving in Zhou Zhen, Wang Ting drew his sword and drew his bow to meet Han Yu.

After Han Yu arrived at the guest room, the soldiers still surrounded the courtyard with weapons in their hands.

Wang Ting leaned in and said to Han Yu, "These soldiers did it, not my intention."

Han Yu just caught the loophole in his words and said sharply, "The emperor thinks you have the ability to be a general, so he appointed you as our ambassador. I didn't expect you to command these soldiers!"

A foot soldier came forward with a weapon in his hand and said, "The first king fought back for the country, and the bloody clothes are still there. Where did our army fail the imperial court, so that it was conquered as a traitor! "

Han Yu continued to tit for tat, using historical facts, from both positive and negative aspects, half advising and half threatening, the core meaning is:

Loyal to the court, let bygones be bygones, there will be a good life;

Go against the imperial court, and then wait to be destroyed.

He said:

It's good that you can remember the first teacher. He rebelled at first, then entered the court and became an official. So, is it far from being rebellious and getting rich?

Are there any surviving officials from the Anshi Rebellion and Shi Siming to Wu Wuji and Li Shidao?

Tian presented it to the court. Although his descendants were children, they were all made high officials.

Wang Chengyuan surrendered to the imperial court and was appointed as our envoy before he reached adulthood.

And Li Zeng rebelled with Li Shidao and Wu Yuanji, and later surrendered to the court. Now, they are all our time.

Have you all heard of these situations? "

Wang Ting ordered the soldiers to go out so as not to shake their morale. Then he said to Han Yu, "What do you want me to do when you come to Chengde this time?"

Han Yu said, "There are many people like Niu Yuan Yi, including the generals of Shence Army, Yulin Army, Long Wujun Army and SHEN WOO Army, but the imperial court takes the overall situation as its priority and cannot abandon him. Why don't you let him go out of the city around China? "

Wang Ting chimed in: "I'll let him out of town right away."

So, I gave a banquet with Han Yu, and then broke out of China with grand etiquette.

Zang Pingping, a general from Shenzhou, surrendered to Wang Ting, who accused Zang Pingping of sticking to it and killing 180 officials.
