September 10

There are righteous men in Hebei prefecture and county

Until under their hooves, they may trample on those moths.

An Lushan's army hit Changshan (now Zhengding, Hebei Province), and Yan Gaoqing, the satrap, was unable to resist. He discussed the long history with Yuan and decided to meet him in Kaesong. An Lushan ordered them to stay. After seeing An Lushan off, Yan Gaoqing returned to the city and pointed to his official uniform and said to Yuan, "What are we doing in this royal costume?" [755. 1 1] From Lushan to Gaocheng, Yan Gaoqing, the prefect of Changshan, could not refuse, and Yuan, the long history, greeted him. Lushan needs to give Gaoqing gold, mortgage children and keep Changshan; He also asked Qin Li to guard Jingxingkou with thousands of soldiers for western troops. On the way home, Gao Qing pointed to his clothes and said, "What is this?" Yin and Gao Qing conspired to fight for Lushan Mountain.

Chang Shi understands the meaning of the satrap. The two began to contact local officials and scholars behind enemy lines, preparing to denounce Lushan Mountain. They killed several rebels with one stroke, restored 17 counties and cities, united more than 200,000 soldiers, and cut off the connection between Luoyang and john young. Narrow the scope of the Anshi rebellion to six counties and cities in the north, and hold him tightly so that he dare not go west to Chang' an.

Yan Zhenqing, the satrap of Pingyuan (now Hebei Plain), is Yan Gaoqing's cousin, and both of them are the grandchildren of Yan Zhitui, a famous writer in Northern Qi Dynasty. Yan Zhenqing knew for a long time that An Lushan was going to rebel, so regardless of the long-term rain, he repaired battlements, enriched warehouses, reorganized his armor, and prepared to refuse to keep it. [755. 12] At the beginning, Yan Zhenqing, the satrap of the Plain, went out of Lu Zhi to rebel. Dig the city because of the rain, and the material is strong.

An Lushan thinks he is a scholar, but his calligraphy has a high reputation, so he may not have any skill. I don't really care. When I set out for the south, I heard a message about pepper and asked him to send troops to cooperate with the battle. Yan Zhenqing immediately sent Li Ping to Beijing to denounce the change and resist An Lushan's orders. [755. 12] Lushan and his scholar are eager to learn. In the Lushan rebellion, Diezhenqing took the plain, Boping sent 7,000 people to defend Hejin, and Zhenqing sent Li Ping, a plain soldier, to fight.

Xuanzong just heard about the Anshi Rebellion, and the northern counties surrendered in succession. He was very sad and sighed sadly: "There is not a righteous man who dares to fight in twenty-four counties of Hebei. I am so disappointed!" [755. 12] It was first heard that Lushan rebellion was popular in all counties of Hebei. I sighed: "In the twenty-four counties, there is no one who is good and evil!" When Li Ping arrived in Chang 'an, Xuanzong was overjoyed: "I have only read Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, but I have never seen what kind of person he is, but it is rare to be so loyal!" Yan Zhenqing and Yan Gaoqing exchanged views, contacted local armed forces and formed resistance behind enemy lines, which posed a great threat to An Lushan. [755. 12] He Pingzhi was overjoyed and said, "I don't know what Yan Zhenqing is like, but I can do this!" Zhenqing ordered in-laws to secretly buy thieves to visit counties, and counties should respond more.

Shi Siming led the troops to surround Changshan County, Yan Gaoqing refused to fight day and night, and the magistrate of Taiyuan was doing nothing until the ammunition was exhausted and the city was broken. At the same time, he and Yuan were captured and sent to Luoyang to see An Lushan.

At this point, An Lushan has claimed to be Emperor Dayan in Luoyang, renamed as "Wu Sheng", and confronted Tang Xuanzong in Chang 'an. Yi Ran is the supreme ruler of Kanto. 756. 1 spring, the first month, Yimaoshuo, Lushan claimed to be the Great Yan Emperor and changed to Wu Sheng.

When he met Yan Gaoqing, he publicly scolded him: "You are just a young man and a small official. I promoted you to be a judge, and you were too obedient in a few years. Can't I be sorry for you? " Why are you rebelling behind your back? When Gao Qing arrived in Luoyang, Lushan said, "Since you were in Cao, you have been a judge. After a few years, I made you a satrap. Why should I betray you and become evil? "

Yan Gaoqing was furious and scolded: "You used to be a shepherd slave in Yingzhou, and the son of heaven spoiled you three times, so you are extremely distinguished. What's wrong with you? " Why is it called mutiny? I am a courtier of the Tang dynasty, and my position was given by the court. Do you have to rebel with you when you promote me? I'm catching thieves for my country now, not rebelling. Manic dog, do it! "[756.1] I am Tang Chen on earth, and I have a position in the Tang Dynasty. Although I play for you, how can I resist the evil from you? I beg a thief for my country, and I hope I can't cut you. What do you mean, anti-also! Bitch, why don't you kill me quickly! "

An Lushan was furious, cut off Yan Gaoqing's tongue, tied it to Tianjin Bridge with Yuan, and was punished that year. The executioner cut the meat alive one by one, and the two men kept cursing. Yan Gaoqing's family died under the knife saw of An Lushan this time, with more than 30 people. [756.1] Lu Shanda was furious and tied Yuan and others to the pillars of the middle bridge. It is better to die than to die, and scolding is true. Yan's family died under the knife saw of more than 30 people.

Tang Xuanzong sent Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and Ge Shuhan to fight An Lushan in the east of Tongguan, while Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi contained them in the north. As a result, except for Guo and Li, the other three generals all failed. Tongguan lost, An Lushan to March into the eastern suburbs of Chang 'an. Where does Yang have the heart to fight? I just wanted to escape to Shu, so I tried my best to dissuade Xuanzong.

In the evening, Xuanzong ordered General Chen of Long Wu to secretly organize the Guards, reward a lot of gold and silver, and select more than 900 war horses. At dawn the next day, Xuanzong quietly took away Yang Guifei's sisters, such as Prince, Yang and Wei. , as well as the eunuchs and imperial secretaries close to him, all went out to Yanqi Gate in the west. The princes who didn't keep up didn't have time to say hello, so they left Wanhe and the gentry, as well as the solemn court and officials, and fled in a hurry. It's a day, and it moves north. That night, General Chen was ordered to compete with the Sixth Army. He gave money and silks and chose more than 900 idle horses, which is unknown to outsiders. B Wei, at dawn, went out of Yanmingmen alone with the imperial concubine sisters, the prince, the princess, the monarch, the emperor's grandson, Yang, Wei, Wei and Chen, as well as eunuchs and imperial secretaries close to him, but those who were far away from the princess, the monarch and the emperor's grandson were ordered to leave.

They passed by the national warehouse, and Yang advocated burning it. Xuanzong said, "When thieves come, it's no use eating them. We must look for those people. It is better to give it to them, so as not to embarrass my son. " [756.6] When he went to Zuozang [Cang], Yang told him to burn it and said, "Don't do it, keep it as a thief." The monk suddenly said, "If the thief can't come, it will attract the people more;" It is better to be with it, and my son has no heavy burden. "

They crossed the Weihe Bridge, and Yang set the bridge on fire. Xuanzong was very sad: "People have to flee, how can they ruin their retreat?" Call Gao Lishi immediately and order to put out the fire. [756.6] On the footbridge, Yang made people burn the bridge. The master said, "Scholars and ordinary people have to avoid thieves to survive, but there is no way out!" " Keep in charge of Gao Lishi, so as to exterminate the grass.

At noon, the group arrived in Xianyang, and before breakfast, Yang bought some baked wheat cakes, gave them to the emperor to satisfy his hunger, and then went to the local officials, but they had escaped. Fortunately, the people enthusiastically sent all kinds of rough daily meals. Although the beans and flour were mixed, the hungry emperors and grandchildren scrambled to swallow them, and soon they finished, but they were still not full. [756.6] Guan Wang stepped forward and paid the counties to settle down. When we were eating, we arrived at Xianyang Wangxian Palace, and Luo Qing and the county magistrate escaped. The middle envoy was recruited, and no one answered. At noon, there is still no food in the world, so Yang provides cakes from the city. So people rushed to offer rice and mixed it with wheat beans; Children and grandchildren are fighting for food with their hands, but they are not satisfied.

Xuanzong thanked them one by one. The people cried loudly, and the emperor hid his face and sobbed. An old man named Guo Congjin walked up to Xuanzong and said sincerely and sadly, "It's not a year or two since An Lushan had ulterior motives. Your majesty killed all the people who went to North Korea to complain about change, and only believed in that An Lushan to get this far! Ancient emperors sought advice from honest and wise people and broadened their minds in order to avoid being deceived. I remember that when Song Jing was prime minister, he often made suggestions and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Now the courtiers in the DPRK dare not tell the truth, but will only please and flatter and defend their positions to the death. Your majesty can't figure out anything outside the city gate. We ordinary people have long known that there will be today's disaster. However, the son of heaven lives in Jiutian Palace, and although he is somewhat sincere, he can't reach your majesty. If you don't pass by today, how can you have the opportunity to see your majesty and explain the situation face to face? " [756.6] In this world, this is worthwhile and gratifying. Everyone is crying, and the audience is crying. Guo Congjin, an old father, said: "Lushan Mountain has ulterior motives, and it was not built in a day; Others accuse their accomplices of ignorance, and your majesty often punishes them, allowing them to succeed in treachery and spread it to your majesty. Therefore, the late king extended his visit to Zhongliang for the sake of Guang Zhi, which is also the reason. I still remember Song Jing as prime minister, bluntly saying that the world depends on Anping. Since the Qing dynasty, courtiers have been secretive, but your majesty doesn't know that they are flattering others. Minister Caotian will know that it has been a long time today, but there is no way to achieve nine levels of strictness and sincerity. If not, why should I sue your majesty? "

Xuanzong was also very moved: "I am so confused that I regret it." Thank you for your sincerity. " After seeing the old man out, the food officer brought him food. He told the accompanying officials to eat first and then eat by themselves. At the same time, he told the soldiers to disperse to the village to look for food and specify a meeting place. [756.6] It says, "I'm sorry for my ignorance!" Comfort and send it. I still eat official food, so that I was ordered to give it to the officials first, and then eat it. The sergeant was ordered to go to the village to find food, and they all gathered at the end of the term.

Arriving in Jincheng in the middle of the night, the county magistrate fled early. The inn was unguarded and the oil lamp could not be found. People, regardless of sex, sleep with each other and finally lie down and rest. [756.6] It's midnight, even Jincheng. The county magistrate also fled, and the county people fled, and the food was ready, and the foot soldiers could be self-sufficient. When the followers fled, Yuan Siyi, the internal servant supervisor, also died. There is no light in the post, and people sleep together, so there is no way to distinguish between high and low.

On the third day, Xuanzong arrived at Ant Hill. The soldiers were tired and angry. Chen told the prince that Yang had to be killed to make people angry. The prince hesitated. [756.6] When we arrived at Mayigang, the soldiers were hungry and tired, and they were all angry. Chen blamed Yang for the disaster and wanted to punish him. Because the East Palace official Li sued the Prince, the Prince was in suspense.

It happened that more than twenty Tibetan messengers stopped Yang's horse and asked him for food. Before Yang could answer, the soldiers shouted, "Yang and the Hu people conspired!" Someone shot wildly with a bow, and Yang fled to the west gate. The sergeant shouted, chop down the body, hang your head on your gun, and hang it at the gate of the post. His son and the wives of Han and Qin were also killed. [756.6] More than 20 Tibetan envoys concealed their loyalty to the country and complained that there was no food. When the loyalty of the country is not right, the sergeant shouted, "The loyalty of the country is in collusion with Land Rover!" Or shoot it, middle saddle. When he reached the West Gate, the sergeant came after him, chopped off the branch, exposed his head outside the door, killed his son, assistant minister, and killed Han and Qin's second wife.

Xuanzong heard the noise and asked what was going on. People around him told him, "This sergeant is attacking Yang. (1) Xuanzong walked out of the post door on crutches and encouraged the sergeant to return to the team. Everyone stayed. 【 756.6 】 The sergeant stood around the sentry post and asked about foreign affairs, which was opposed by national loyalty. Take the staff out of the sentry door, comfort the sergeant, and order the team to fold, but the sergeant should not.

Chen said, "The imperial concubine should not wait on your majesty because of Yang's rebellion. Please give up your love and punish him clearly. " 【 756.6 】 When Gao Lishi, the envoy, asked him, Li Xuan replied, "It's not appropriate for the imperial concubine to sacrifice because the country is loyal to the rebellion. May your majesty forgive me and uphold justice. "

Xuanzong hesitated for a moment: "I'll handle it myself." Walking into the house, leaning on crutches, cocked his head for a long time. Wei Lu, the minister of Jingzhao, came forward to remonstrate and said, "Now the public is very angry and the safety is uncertain. Please make a decision quickly! " Kneel down and kowtow, bleeding. [756.6] It says, "I want to take care of myself." Getting started, leaning on the stick, leaning on the head. For a long time, Wei said in the preface, "Now people are angry, it is difficult to commit crimes, and their safety is at stake. May your majesty make a quick decision! " Kowtow and bleed.

Where does Xuanzong make sense? He is willing to say, "How do you know that the imperial concubine is in the palace?"

Gao Lishi frankly advised, "The imperial concubine is really innocent, but the soldier killed Yang, and the imperial concubine is still with your majesty. Can they rest assured? " Your majesty should consider it calmly. Only when the soldiers are at ease can your majesty be safe. "-Gao Lishi served Xuanzong for more than 50 years. At an important moment, his words carried a lot of weight. [756.6] As the saying goes: "The imperial concubine lives in the deep palace forever, knowing the loyalty of the country and plotting! Gao Lishi said, "The imperial concubine is innocent, but the soldier killed the loyal monarch to serve the country, and the imperial concubine was by your side. How dare you be safe? I hope your majesty will think about it. If the soldiers are safe, your majesty will be safe. "

Xuanzong had nothing to say, tears streaming down his face, waved and told Lux to take the imperial concubine to the Buddhist temple, wrapped her neck in a white Zi Ling, and soon hanged himself. The body was placed in the yard of the post office, and Chen called to recognize his face. Chen and the officials took off their hats and kowtowed to the emperor. Xuanzong comforted them one by one and asked them to convey the imperial edict to the sergeant. Chen and others shouted "Long live", then bowed out and prepared to leave. 【 756.6 】 Shang ordered Lux to lead the imperial concubine to the Buddhist temple and kill her. The body was put in the post office and Li Xuan and others were invited to see it. Li Xuan, etc. Avoid disarming, nod and apologize, comfort them and tell the sergeant. Li Xuan waited for a long time, then bowed out, and the whole movie began.

Yang's wife Pei Rou, her youngest sons Yang, Mrs. Guo and her son Pei Hui all took the opportunity to escape. When they fled to Chencang, the county magistrate Xue Jingxian caught them and killed them all. [756.6] Pei Rou, the wife of his youngest son Guo Guo, and Pei Hui, both left and went to Chencang, where the county magistrate Xue Jingxian pursued punishment.

This is what later generations often call "Ma Wei mutiny", which Bai Juyi deeply regrets in Song of Eternal Sorrow:

If the Sixth Army doesn't send us, there's nothing we can do until their hooves crush those moths.

The gorgeous hairpin fell to the ground, and no one picked it up, a green and white Hosta and a golden hairy bird.

The emperor couldn't save her, so he had to cover his face. Later, when he turned to look, the land of blood and tears!

Tang Xuanzong left endless pain and resentment, and then continued on his way.
