Let me start with the conclusion. I don’t believe that the debate machine and Gaoyang princess in the " New Tangshu" and " Zizhi Tongjian" have fornicated so as to be cut in the waist. The real cause of death should be involved in the prince dispute. Taizong Li Shimin's life nightmare lies in Xuanwumen change, and why the death of the debate is so secretive is naturally understandable.
Bianji monk
In order to clarify that Bianji's death was involved in the dispute between the prince and the prince, let's first analyze the unreliability of the personal relationship between Bianji and Princess Goyang.
There are many doubts about the illegitimate communication
There are at least four suspicions about the illegitimate communication:
①The source of historical data says
" Old Tang Book" about the princess Gao Yang and the debate machine Fornication is completely undocumented. The "New Tang Book" written by Ouyang Xiu first writes the fornication between Princess Gao Yang and the debate in the official history, but Ouyang Xiu supplemented the old Tang book with what historical data. Any record, this is flawed for a rigorous historian, especially such a major change, it is doubtful.
Ouyang Xiu advocates the exclusion of Buddha
Of course, we may also think that the "Old Tang Book" cannot bear to write this kind of court scandal, using the Spring and Autumn Period brushwork. This is indeed possible, but it is worth noting that the same is true A very important book in the Northern Song Dynasty, " Taiping Royal Lan", which was completed in 983 AD, has no record of the affairs of Princess Gao Yang and the debate machine, and the writing time of "Xin Tang Shu" is only AD. In 1060,This is very interesting.
It is Ouyang Xiu's "Xintang Shu" and Sima Guang's "Tongzhi Tongjian" that made the fornication between the princess Gaoyang and the debate machine into an iron case, but these two people have an attitude towards Buddhism They were critical. At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty was undergoing reforms. The monks did not produce but consumed a lot of social resources. This was questioned. Therefore, it is still unclear whether these two people use such a method to explain their political opinions. Knowable.
② Caolu fornication
This can basically be regarded as a novel. The reason is very simple. The Tang Dynasty has strict management of monks, especially for famous monks and monks, and there are clear rules for entering and leaving the temple. How can the registration system be like in a movie, where you can build a hayloft and practice? At that time, monasteries were basically opened by the yamen of the state capitals of the imperial court. It was difficult for ordinary monks to leave the monastery. It was impossible for a generation of famous monks to live alone.
Princess Fornication
Regarding monk discipline management, including the handling of monks breaking the law, this is mentioned in " Dao Sengge", " continued high monk biography·zhishizhuan", etc. Buddhism is not an impossible place, and these precepts have been basically formed before Tang Taizong, so the possibility of fornication in Caolu is really very low.
As Xuanzang , the most reliant monk for translating Buddhist scriptures, he himself is a respected Buddhist master. Even if the defender really went out of the temple in violation of the regulations, it is hard to explain it without being discovered and accountable for many days.
and Xu Jingzong mentioned the debate in the preface of " yogis ground theory ",This was the purpose of Tang Taizong himself. If there is a case of the princess and the defense machine fornication, Xu Jingzong is afraid that he would have been sent to prison early. Daoxuan and Xuanzang, the founders of " Lvzong ", also often think about the debate. If the debate is really a monk, is it worth the memory of the two masters?
③Conflict between "New Tang Book" and "Old Tang Book"
This is mainly the conflict recorded in the contradictory relationship between Princess Gaoyang and Taizong. According to the record of "Old Tang Book" Fang Xuanling He was seriously ill, and Taizong connected him to the palace to recuperate. During the period, he had a good interaction with Princess Gaoyang. If Taizong knew that his daughter had an affair with the monk according to the "New Tang Book", how could he be so peaceful?
Tang Taizong loves Princess Gaoyang
If the records in the "New Tang Book" are correct, then what is even more puzzling is that after Taizong died of Gaozong's succession, the princess Gaoyang was promoted to the first year of Yonghui as the first princess. On the tombstone of Fang Xuanling in the third year of Hui three years, Taizong praised Fang Xuanling to his daughter, Princess Gao Yang. It was a matter of honor. Under the scandal of fornication, it was impossible to think about it.
④The true relationship between Princess Gaoyang and Fang Jia
The age difference between Princess Gaoyang and Pianji is at least ten years old. The relationship life between Princess Gaoyang and Fang’s widow is not much before the "New Tang Shu" According to historical records, Fang Yiai has heirs.
"Book of the Old Tang Dynasty", "The princess gave her suicide, and all the sons match the ling table."
Although the mother of all the sons is not clear, from the context, I prefer to say that Fang Fuai and the princess have sons, if they do. Children, this emotional life can't be the same as it was passed down later.
In addition, Princess Gaoyang’s mother-in-law, Lu Shi is not an ordinary person, with a strong personality, Taizong can’t do anything with Lu Shi.There is such a mother-in-law, how can my daughter-in-law tolerate such a scandal, I can't believe it.
In addition, the three brothers of the Fang family are actually fighting for power internally. If there is such a scandal in the second house wife, the boss Fang Yizhi and the third wife Fang Yi have already reported to the emperor, and they can still bear it for so many years. ?
So from the above four points, the fornication between Princess Gao Yang and the defense machine is really too suspicious, unbelievable, then if there is no such thing according to the "Old Tang Book", then the defense machine is dead. Why is the history book so unclear? The answer is 's death penalty , history books cannot be written with integrity.
Involved in the controversy of seizing the concubine The death of the debate is a warning
The death of the controversy is secretive because he was involved in the controversy of the seizure of the concubine in Tang Taizong's later years.
The Nightmare of Xuanwu Gate
For Tang Taizong, the wise and martial artist, the Xuanwu Gate change was a hurdle that he could not cross in his life. No matter how he beautified this coup, he fully understood it in his heart. It was his original sin for a drama in which his brothers smashed each other for the throne and finally forced his father to abdicate.
For this original sin, he succeeded to the throne for more than 20 years, devoted himself to the throne, devoted himself to the throne, did not dare to slack off, hoped to gain inner peace through his own governance.
Xuanwumen's Change
On the issue of heirs, he certainly did not want to have brothers fratricidal anymore, so he established as the crown prince of Li Chengqian , and Li Chengqian was also a wise and benevolent since he was a child. Since suffering from foot problems, my father has loved his younger brother Li Tai again.Gradually, he became impetuous and nervous, and moved to murder Li Tai. Later he secretly colluded with Han Wang Li Yuanchang , Du Ma Duwei and Du He and Chen Guogong prepared to conspire against him.
Taizong could only end his position as a prince and was demoted as a common man, and at this moment, the nightmare of Xuanwumen's change was once again clear before his eyes.
Li Taimou's diary
Li Tai's age and debate are actually the same, is brilliant, brilliant, and he presided over the compilation of " including geography ", he was the favorite son of Tang Taizong, All this gave Li Tai the illusion that he could be in position.
Wei Wang Li Tai
Although Li Chengqian lost the throne due to his own problems, but it is inseparable from Li Tai’s secret planning. Tang Taizong, as a mature politician, certainly knew this. From the bottom of his heart, Taizong definitely felt that Li Tai was more suitable to be emperor than Li Zhi, but if Li Tai became emperor, it would be difficult to guarantee that the tragedy of the Xuanwu Gate would never happen again.
Taizong made a decisive decision, delegating Li Tai to the prefecture and making Li Zhi the prince, but he did not punish the ministers who supported Li Tai, and among these ministers were important ministers like cen text and Fang Xuanling.
The defense machine is dead
Whether the defense machine and Li Tai know each other, this is not recorded in the history books, but there is a high probability that the two people know each other. Naturally, Tai did not need to say, but at that time, the debate machine was already a monk who was well-known as a master of the capital. Secondly, Li Tai repaired the Buddha, also wrote books, and had the same character as the debate machine.
The debate machine must have something to do with Fang's family. Of course, it will not be an affair with Princess Goyang.But the Fang family must have had a good relationship, and the Fang family backed Li Tai's prostitute at the time. It was normal for the debate to be influenced by the Fang family's political inclination during this process.
The Death of Bianji
Bianji's status in the 19th year of Zhenguan has undergone a very big change. He was selected as Xuanzang's main assistant, that is to say, Xuanzang's protégé, and Xuanzang Needless to say, his status and identity in Datang, it can be said that he is a national teacher. This change in the identity of the debate machine gives the political inclination of the representative more energy.
In the 21st year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong re-appointed Li Tai as King of Pu. He often admired Li Tai's talent in the court, indicating that Taizong often regretted not being able to make Li Tai the prince.
But all this came to an abrupt end in the 23rd year of Zhenguan. In this year, Taizong did two things. One was to release Li Shiji as the governor of as the governor of Diezhou, and the other was to kill the defense machine. In fact, everything is planning for the things behind.
Tang Taizong Li Shimin
The release of Li Shiji is to prevent high-strength shocks. Taizong is assured of 's grandson Wuji. He is Li Zhi's uncle, and Li Shiji is the new top man in the army. Jun Wuen, now release it by himself and let his son use it. This is also considered as emperor's technique.
In addition, Taizong will also ring the alarm for Li Tai's party to prevent the recurrence of the Xuanwu Gate. After all, although Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen have passed away, their family strength is still there, and Xuanzang is behind the debate. The shadow of , the abolished prince Li Chengqian or Xuanzang’s disciple , is even more involved in the dispute over the status of Buddhism. In this case, the debate has become the best target for this, and the crime of the debate is no longer important. .
After the autumn, settle accounts
Yonghui At the end of three years,King Pu Li Taixun and his younger brother Li Zhi buried his elder brother in the form of the highest funeral standard in the Tang dynasty, "Edict Burial", and also named Taiwei and Yongzhou Mu.
However, during 's four years of Yonghui, Fang Yiai participated in the rebellion of Jing Wang Li Yuanjing, Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang were given suicide, and the elder Fang Yizhi and the old three Fangyi were relegated to commoners. All were cleaned, and even Fang Xuanling was driven out of Taimiao.
Princess Gaoyang commits suicide
Xue Wanche , Chai Lingwu, Baling Princess, King of Jing Li Yuanjing, King of Jiang Lian Li Wuzong 2 Even though the purge was not immune to death, the cleansing behind it was the private anger of Longsun Wuji, but it was not the conspiracy of Li Zhi, which made people feel chills after thinking about it.
In addition, Xuanzang also suffered from Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's semi-house arrest. It is not known whether it is because of Changsun Wuji or Li Tai.
Only in my opinion, it is impossible to avoid the occurrence of another Xuanwu Sect change if Taizong's institutions are counted.
In short, the death of the debate machine is definitely not explained by lace news. Behind him is the product of the brutal and fierce struggle of the Li and Tang royal family. The changes made the editors of Tang history secretive, and descendants such as Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang were a little too ruthless in the arrangement of this monk.
