I believe many people know that Xu was on the side of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian when he abolished the king in the period, which became a great help for Li Zhi and Wu Zetian against important officials such as Wuji, and thus became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. But before that, he had already walked in the officialdom.
His father, Xu Shanxin, was a secretary during the reign of Yang Di. Later, Guo Jun killed the emperor Yang Di, and the Sui Dynasty perished. Xu is on the death list. When preparing to kill Xu, Xu directly knelt down. Of course, Xu did not intercede for his father, but prayed not to commit suicide.
After Xu was killed, Xu defected to the Wagang Army, followed by Shi Biao to join the Tang Dynasty and became one of the eighteen bachelors. Although Xu's personality is not so good (he is listed as a traitor in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty), his literary talent is really good, so he was deeply appreciated and became a writer during the Zhenguan period, studying national history and later becoming a master of Chinese studies.
If there is no accident, Xu will be promoted step by step during the Zhenguan period, but he had an accident during the Zhenguan decade.
"Old Tang Book" records that the collapse of Empress Wende shocked hundreds of officials. Rate more ugly Ou Yangxun, public or refers to, Jing Zong smile. ?
That is to say, when Xu Jingzong saw Ou Yangxun's ugly appearance, he couldn't help laughing. That's not bad. After the death of his eldest grandson, Emperor Taizong was immersed in grief. During the mourning period, Xu laughed so presumptuously. What scandal? So the suggestion impeached Xu. When such a thing was impeached, Xu was demoted to Hongzhou to be the governor's office Sima, which was a smile from Beijing.
So, how ugly is it that makes Xu laugh all the time? Ou Yangxun is a famous calligrapher in history, and his seal script is called? The crown of calligraphy? . He was born in 557 and had a miserable childhood. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Ou Yangxun became an assistant in the Wude period when Ou Yangxun was in his 60s. When Li Shimin became king, Ou Yangxun was seventy years old.
According to common sense, people in their seventies and eighties are already ugly. This should not be the reason why Xu Jingzong laughed at Ou Yangxun. Besides, they are also officials of the same DPRK, so they can't have known each other before. However, Ou Yangxun worked at his desk all the year round, and perhaps his body had a certain degree of deformation unconsciously. In addition, when the eldest grandson died, Ou Yangxun was 80 years old, and his physical appearance is not necessarily what we usually think is ugly.
During the Zhenguan period, Sun Chang Wuji and Ou Yangxun played a joke, and Sun Chang Wuji described Ou Yangxun like this. He shrugged his shoulders and became a mountain figure, but buried his shoulders. Who painted this macaque on the pavilion? ? Ou Yangxun should be thin, and with the blessing of age, Ou Yangxun can't be good-looking. However, even if Ou Yangxun is really ugly, he is an 80-year-old man after all. It's outrageous to make fun of a respected veteran like this. It's strange not to be impeached.
According to Historical Records, Xu is really a self-centered person, and he doesn't care much about the place and time when he speaks or does things. But Li Zhi likes Xu Jingzong very much. After Li Chenggan was abolished, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, became a prince, and Xu became the right bastard of the prince. Since then, he has had more contact with Li Zhiyou. When personally collecting Goguryeo, Xu and Gao Shilian assisted Li Zhi in supervising the country in Dingzhou.
Li Shimin died in Cuiwei Palace, and his son Gong stayed in the front hall. It is very impolite for him to hang his arm when Xu passed by. Therefore, Xu was impeached again. Yan, the imperial envoy at that time, said: Jing Zong has been in mourning since he left home, and now he is rude to Dai Xing Zigong. ?
Surprisingly, the new emperor Li Zhi did not punish Xu for his rude behavior, but suppressed it. Soon, Xu Zai became Emperor Wei, and became a bachelor of museum. Later, he stood out in the process of abolishing the king and became the prime minister.
79-year-old Xu begged for these bones, but Li Zhi allowed Xu to make special progress and become an official. Two years later, Xu Jingzong died, and Li Zhi was very sad. He even abandoned the DPRK for three days and wrote a letter to the civil and military officials to express his condolences to Xu. So Xu Jingzong and Zhaoling were buried together. If I knew that Xu and Zhaoling were buried together, I don't know what he would think.
