Yan Zhenqing anti-An Lushan

A calligrapher's heroic life

In 709 AD, Tang Zhongzong was in the third year of Jinglong Sanyou, and Yan Zhenqing was born in the tenth year of Jingzhao (now Xi, Shaanxi) to the Yanshi family, the fifth grandson of Yan Shigu.

Yan Zhenqing, be worthy of the name, is a well-known official, and parents' hopes can be seen here. And Yan Zhenqing's life. It seems that it is along this established track to seek truth. I have been Xuanzong in my life.

The ministers of Su Zong, Dai Zong and De Zong even gave their lives for the Tang Dynasty. Yan Zhenqing's inscription is often written by Lang Lang Yan Zhenqing, because his ancestral home is Lang Lang Linyi. that

Father Yan Weizhen, in the first year of Wu Zetian's natural gift (690), awarded Gaodi to Quzhou to join the army. An He, a senior, is famous for his cursive script and official career. Almost as unfortunate as his father, three-year-old Yan Zhenqing.

I also tasted the bitterness of loneliness and was taught by my mother Yin. This kind of fate may be the cornerstone of talent in the imperial city. Yan Zhen, who is tempered by long-term diligence and hard work.

Qing, is "less good Confucianism, filial piety and self-reliance. Poor paper and pen, sweeping the yellow earth wall, learning calligraphy, attacking the script, and the words are superb. " ("Yan Ji")

In the 22nd year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (734), 26-year-old Yan Zhenqing was promoted to Jinshi, and he also took the exam (an exam subject temporarily set by talented people to escape), which went smoothly.

Set foot on a factory career. He served as secretary of provincial affairs bureau, proofreader, and Wei Chaosaburo of Liquan County. In the second year of Tianbao (743), he went to Luoyang to see Zhang Xu.

In the ninth year of Tianbao, Yan Zhenqing was transferred from supervising the censor to the censorate hall, where he served as an official in the Chayuan, one of the lower three hospitals of the censorate platform. In the meantime, when it comes to personal grievances, Luo Zhi's expenses are suggested.

When Cheng Songhun (the son of Prime Minister Song Jing) was framed in the Imperial History, Yan Zhenqing dared to hit himself in the face: "Why do you want to temporarily endanger Song Jing?" Prime Minister Yang and his henchmen regard him as an alien.

Finally, in the twelfth year of Tianbao, he was transferred from Beijing and reduced to the plain satrap. The world named "Yan Plain" came from this.

Yan Zhenqing is sensitive and knows a few things about politics. When the Anshi Rebellion first appeared, Zhenqing built a high city, dug a deep ditch, collected Ding Zhuang, and stored food and grass to prevent accidents.

Fan. But he goes boating and drinking with his guests every day, pretending not to ask about current events, so as to explain An Lushan's suspicion. Pingyuan County belongs to the jurisdiction of An Lushan, and An Lushan has been spying, but in the end,

Because Zhenqing is a scholar, I no longer doubt it. The cartoon ended in the fourteenth year of Tianbao, when An Lushan rebelled, saying, "The river and the moon are all trapped, and the plain city is unique, so soldiers join the army and Li Pingchi plays." straight

When Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty lamented, "Is there no loyal minister in the twenty-four counties of Hebei?" Li Ping's galloping undoubtedly gave Xuanzong a shot of stimulant. He looked around and the cow felt a little approval.

He said, "I don't know who Zhenqing is, but here's what I did!" "

In the struggle against Anshi Rebellion, Yan Zhenqing was very fierce. He quickly expanded from the original 3,000 soldiers to 10,000, and selected commanders and excellent generals, and some satrap and long history were also returned to the public.

At that time, my cousin Yan Gaoqing was the magistrate of Changshan (now Zhengding, Hebei Province), participated in the uprising and fought for the rebels behind An Lushan. Seventeen counties in Hebei are owned by the imperial court, and only john young and Lulong are owned by An Lushan.

Wait for six counties. Yan Zhenqing was promoted to commander-in-chief of the allied forces, and with an army of 200,000 soldiers, he completely defeated Zhao Yan, which was a great shock. Tianbao fifteen years, Hebei, assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance, recruited interviewers, and assisted me to make Li Guang in Hedong.

General Bi is a traitor. In the meantime, Yan Zhenqing once commanded divisions such as Pingyuan, Qinghe (the county seat is in the southeast of Nangong City, Hebei Province) and Boping (the address is in the west of Shandong Province) to beg for thieves and cut off ten thousand enemies.

Capturing more than a thousand people alive, the prestige is beneficial to the earthquake.

In 756 AD, Jpua Li of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne in Lingwu (now southwest of Lingwu, Ningxia), becoming the sixth Su Zong. Yan Zhenqing, minister of the Ministry of Industry, was appointed as an ancient consultant, and has surrendered for Hebei. Anlu

Khan took advantage of Su Zong's transfer of troops out of Hebei, sent his officers to Siming, attacked Hebei and surrounded Pingtan. In October, Yan Zhenqing was forced to abandon the county and cross the Yellow River. After all kinds of dangers, he finally succeeded.

In the second year of Zhide (757), he went to Fengxiang to claim the title of emperor, was appointed as the minister of the Constitution Department (the Ministry of Punishment), and moved to the imperial history.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was chaotic, and many things were out of time. However, Yan Zhenqing was "brought to justice as usual", and anyone who did not conform to the system was bluntly remonstrated, thus avoiding it as a secretariat. Once in Korea

He was an assistant minister of punishments and was later demoted to a long history.

In the first year of Daizong Baoying (762), 54-year-old Yan Zhenqing was recalled from Sichuan to worship the assistant minister of the capital, changed to the assistant minister of the official department the following year, and then changed to the right minister. Guangde two years

(764) Yan Yiqing was named Duke Lu, hence the name. However, due to Yuan Zai's resentment, Yongtai was expelled from Beijing in 766. After Yuan Zai was found guilty, he was punished.

, Yan Zhenqing to the official department ministers.

Yan Zhenqing is upright, honest and helpful. As early as when Yushi was sent to Hexi and Gansu, Wuyuan (now near Hedong in Mongolia) had unjust imprisonment, which remained unresolved for a long time and was dry and rainy.

. It happened to rain when Yan Zhenqing was settling his grievances. The people felt their goodwill and called this timely rain "rain protection". When he was a local official in Pengzhou and Fuzhou, he was also due to

Disaster relief, patient care and irrigation are all praised by the people. In the first year of Jianzhong (780), Lu Gong was seventy-one. Because of his integrity, the veteran of the four dynasties is still not the prime minister.

Yan Yang, Qilu.

The most heroic scene of Yan Zhenqing's life was his struggle with Li Xilie in his later years. Li Xilie conspired against our wishes in the west of Huai River, and captured Ruzhou (now Linru, Henan Province) in the fourth year of Jianzhong. Lucci

Because I want to report personal grievances, I suggest that I send Yan Zhenqing to preach and teach, and tell you what the Quartet believes. If I preach it, I won't have to work hard. " Yan Zhenqing to Xuzhou (now Xuchang, Henan)

After Li Xilie's announcement, before the imperial edict was completed, the rebels asked the generals to scold Duke Lu and ordered more than a thousand people, whose names were adopted sons and Qin Bing, to pull out their blades and threaten them. Yan Zhenqing noodles don't change color, however, Li Xilie had to wave to all, will.

Duke Lu was taken hostage. Li Xilie used various means to threaten inducements, and even dug a hole in Yan Zhenqing's residence court, threatening to bury him alive in an attempt to force him to submit.

Yan Zhenqing unyielding, sternly reprimanded. He sneered at Li Xilie and said, "Why bother? Just lend me a sword and you will see joy! " Li Xilie sent someone to the court for confession.

: "If you don't bend, burn to death!" Yan Zhenqing, without fear, got up and jumped into the fire, but was stopped by the people in Li Xilie. Li Xilie was helpless, in August of the first year of Zhenyuan (785).

Eunuch killed Yan Zhenqing in longxing temple, Cai Zhou (now Runan, Henan).

Yan Zhenqing spent half his life on the battlefield and in the complicated struggles of the imperial court. He devoted all his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and really became a loyal and incorruptible minister.

. The other half of the time is spent studying. He studied art and literature and loved calligraphy, which is a quiet world for him. He made unremitting efforts and reached the peak of a generation of calligraphers.
