What I want to talk about today is really not a novel.
In April 639 AD, Emperor Taizong of Tang left the Daming Palace in Chang'an , and led his family and close ministers to waving flags, gathering in front and back, adding yellow gaze, and playing drums. He headed towards the Jiucheng Palace of Ligong. The purpose is to enjoy the scenery.

At this time, he had been busy and busy, and finally took out the complicated state affairs to relax and relax Li Shimin . However, he thought that late at night on the fifteenth, a beheading operation against him suddenly came.
Under his command, there is a Zhonglang General called the Ashina Association. The Zhonglang General said that it is a stitching official position, and "Zhong" represents the service staff in the imperial palace; "Lang" has the attributes of civil servants, that is, Langguan , and "General" also has the characteristics of military officers. Overall, the nature of the work is considered to be responsible for the emperor's security work.
Li Shimin
As a general of the Central Army, why did Ashina want to assassinate Li Shimin?
You can tell that he was a Hu man, who was originally a prince of the Eastern Turks and had a noble birth. In December of the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (629), he accompanied his elder brother Ashina Shibozi and Tuli Khan to join the Tang Dynasty.

And the two brothers actually lived in the shadow of their uncle Jie Li Khan . Jie Li Khan took advantage of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the heroes rose up and conquered endlessly. He tried his best to annex the tribes, conquered foreign races, expanded the chassis, and increased his strength. At its peak, the territory included the entire Mongolian Plateau and nearby areas between the Altai Mountains and the Greater Xing'an Mountains. He controlled the strings and controlled the vests and forced the Tang Kings to be his subordinates. By the time the Tang Dynasty unified the world and established the country, it had been warring for years and weak national strength, and was unable to launch large-scale military operations. In 626, Jie Li Khan personally led an army of 200,000 horses to gallop towards Chang'an. The advance was unstoppable, and the whole direction was shaking. The military peak was only 40 miles away from Chang'an. Arranged on the north bank of Weishui , fighting drums and flags covering the sun. At this time, the troops in Chang'an City are only tens of thousands of troops. How to fight?

The ministers were frightened, but Li Shimin is worthy of being a hero of a generation. He led his troops to fight and was resourceful, not afraid of danger, and came up with a plan. He personally led six cavalry including Gao Shilian , Fang Xuanling and other six cavalry to the edge of the Wei River, and talked to Jie Li Khan across the river. Jie Li Khan looked at it and said, "Oh, I'm brave enough to bring only a few people. It shouldn't be that there is a fraud?"
Li Shimin was also not vague and directly angrily scolded Jie Li Khan for breaching the alliance, invading the territory, and forgetting his righteousness when he saw profit. Seeing the other party angry, Jie Li Khan felt more and more that if Chang'an's troops were really empty, he would still dare to be so arrogant.
Li Jing's portrait
At this time, I suddenly saw behind Li Shimin, and there seemed to be a Tang army riding a horse, with dust flying, but how many people couldn't see clearly, and it seemed that the army was extremely strong. Jie Li Khan was very afraid. Maybe this was Li Shimin's suspicious plan, which angered me across the river. Could the ambush army on the opposite side cut off my retreat? I am not stupid. Not only do I lose my arrogant look, but I am also a little timid. Li Shimin saw it and knew that the plan had been completed, so he changed his mind. My Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Do you keep your promises? You are unrighteous to me, and I can't treat you unkindly. Wouldn't you just grab some brocade silk, gold, silver, horses and food? Maybe the bitter and cold land was hit by snow disaster. To show my sincerity, I would just give you a large number of them. Let's reconcile. Forget it, Jie Li Khan stopped when he saw it was good, and blackmailed a large sum. He was very happy and agreed. Both sides killed the white horse and snatched blood to form an alliance, and Turkic withdrew. Looking at Jie Li Khan's satisfaction and leaving, Li Shimin's fists were crushed and said fiercely: will take it, and he will definitely give it a solid - I will take it from me, I will definitely take it back, let's see!
Tang Taizong Zhaoling
One month after the Turks retreated, Li Shimin promulgated the "Preparation for the Northern Detachment" to strengthen the northern border defense.The "Military Reading" was also issued to strengthen military preparation training. Every day, he took hundreds of elite soldiers to hold military exercises in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, fighting with real swords and guns. Xiande Hall is where Li Shimin ascended the throne. A group of military generals shouted and killed. The shiny knife cuts and cuts many ministers to retreat and become weak. Your Majesty, if there is a rebellion, you will be beaten up in one fell swoop. But Li Shimin said: "All the city is closed, I am innocent. I put it in my heart one by one, but why are the guards also suspicious?" soldiers were extremely excited when they heard this and were willing to die. Under the leadership of the martial spirit, the Tang army set off a wave of training, and everyone was elite.
Tang army is strong, and the Eastern Turks are in great danger. In 629 AD, God helped the Tang Dynasty. The vast grasslands occupied by the Eastern Turks suddenly fell with rare blizzards, and many livestock were frozen to death, and the people were hungry for feeding.
Huo Qubing
Li Shimin made a quick decision and mobilized 100,000 troops to use the historical prototype of the war god Li Jing and the famous general Li Jie, which is Xu Maogong's historical prototype, to divide the troops into six groups and fight towards the Eastern Turks with a thunderclap.
The so-called speed of war is the most important thing. Li Jing, who was in his sixties, was like the champion of that year, Hou Huo Qubing, who led only three thousand of the most elite light cavalry, and rushed thousands of miles to attack the Eastern Turkic royal court.
Heavy snow, Jie Li Khan never dreamed that the Tang army suddenly arrived, and everyone like gods came down to earth, rushed into the city, and killed people when they saw each other. The Turkic soldiers were dizzy when they were killed. Many people moved their houses before they rode their horses, but their fighting spirit collapsed and they were defeated. Jie Li Khan thought that the main force of the Tang army had arrived, and he was so scared that he ran away without a single life.
Daming Palace Recovery Picture
And Jie Li Khan's nephew, the old Khan's son, was robbed of the Khan's position by his uncle. Although he was named the little Khan and was called Tuli Khan in the world, he was suppressed by his uncle for many years. He was almost beaten to death by his uncle several times, and was sent to a remote place to suppress the difficult Khan's tribes. He was extremely resentful to his uncle, so he refused to listen to Jie Li Khan's rescue and led more than 100,000 troops to enter the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of Tang treated him generously, was awarded the title of General of the Right Guard, and was granted the title of Prince of Beiping, with a fief of 700 households.
And Jie Li Khan betrayed his relatives and fled to Yinshan, pretending to seek peace, and wanted to relax and escape back to the north of Mobei to seek a comeback. But Li Jing did not give a chance, and he would hammer it to death. He pretended to agree. Suddenly, he attacked at night and captured more than 100,000 people in one fell swoop. This time, Jie Li Khan lost his old capital, like a dog that lost his family, and defected to his uncle. However, the powerful Chinese dynasty was prominent, so who dared not accept it, tied up his nephew and sent it to Li Jing's village. At this point, the powerful Eastern Turks had perished in just a few years. But Jie Li Khan was not killed. Shimin named him the governor of Guozhou . Because he was unwilling to go, he was also named General of the Right Guard. He was considered an official, and he had good food and drink. He danced and helped everyone during the banquet, and died with good deeds.

Taizong also assigned a large piece of the territory of the former Eastern Turkic Khanate into the territory, setting up the governor's offices of Shunzhou, Yuzhou, Huazhou , Changzhou, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong. Tuli Khan was appointed as the governor of Shunzhou, sincerely hoping to be the vassal screen in the north forever and no longer attack each other. Tuli Khan was moved and knelt down and obeyed the order. But unfortunately, in the fifth year of Zhenguan (631), when he arrived in Bingzhou, Tuli Khan suddenly died of illness at the age of 29.
At this time, Emperor Taizong of Tang was equally kind and powerful, and the nomadic peoples in the north were pleased and surrendered, and Taizong was respectfully called " Day Khan ". Not only was he the emperor of the Central Plains people, Li Shimin also became the common Khan of the grassland nation, which was recorded in history. But as an ordinary person, such a tall hat made Emperor Taizong a little elated.
But the tricky problem is that the Eastern Turks were once very powerful, often not keeping their promises, and rushing straight into the Han territory, plundering the Han territory, harming the people, rebelling and supporting the government, and threatening the regime. How to solve the problem of hundreds of thousands of Eastern Turkish tribes staying and leaving once and for all is a difficult problem.
Wei Zheng and Li Shimin
Great classical scholar Yan Shigu Kaiyan said: Let's just move them to Hebei, mainland China, set up different tribes to delegate different chiefs, and separate them, so that they each have their own little things and are separated from each other. Wouldn't we be at ease? The close minister Li Baiyao also said: Hebei, who is more in the mainland, is afraid that it is inappropriate, so he arranged to go to the Tang Dynasty and other borders to confront other homeless tribes to protect the borders for us. But tribes do need to divide and govern.
General Xiazhou Governor Dou Jing head shaking like rattle , "The nature of Rong Di is like a beast, it is harmful to China, but it is not beneficial to it." That is to say, the Central Plains in the Mainland are not good, and we must always beware of their rebellion. It’s better to just sit still and divide it into different tribes, so that they can attack each other and fight against each other. We will reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo said with great righteousness: "The king is bound to all things, and the sky covers the earth, and everything is left behind. Now the Turks are poor and come back to me, but how can we abandon it and not accept it?" Since the Turks surrender to our dynasty and the power of the sky is vast, how can we reject them? It is better to move them all to the mainland and teach them how to farm and farm, not to be nomadic, read and read literate and learn Confucian rituals, and after several years of education, they will become my people of the Tang Dynasty. "
Tukes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties
The famous counselor Wei Zheng disagreed: "In the Turkic era, it was a thief, and the people were in trouble. Now, fortunately, it was destroyed. Your Majesty was subordinate to him because he surrendered and could not bear to kill them all. It is advisable to allow him to return to his hometown and not to stay in China. How can you believe that these people who are not honest? You must not stay in the Central Plains to raise tigers. Many years later, the number of people doubled. In our hinterland, isn’t it a big problem? I’ll deal with it quickly to avoid regretting it.
All adults have different opinions. As they talk, they are quarrels, their faces are red and their necks are thick, and they all speak their own reasons, and no one accepts anyone. To be fair, other people's views still overlap, but Wen and Wei all absorb or reject them are completely two extremes.
Taizong is kind and respectful. He thought about it. It was Wen Yanbo's suggestion that was pleasant to listen to. After all, it was Tian Khan, and the country of the Celestial Empire must be measured.
Tang Dynasty Hu people's murals
officially issued an edict, placing more than 100,000 prisoners of war in places about Hebei, Tianjin, Beijing and other places, and spreading them westward until they reached Lingzhou (now Lingwu, Gansu), thousands of kilometers, allowing them to take root.
There are also hundreds of thousands of surrendered and captured Turkic people, who have settled in hinterlands such as Chang'an, Luoyang and other places.
A large number of Turkic nobles, even though they had fought each other, Taizong gave generous treatment to appease them. Many young children with great looks and tall people were also selected as eunuchs in the palace to warn Emperor Taizong of the ceremonial guard. This is completely a humble attitude, treating the Turks as their own people.
However, it was this mentality and such a decision that Taizong did not expect to experience a terrified assassination operation. Back to the beginning, Zhonglang's association Ashina is actually not someone else, but the younger brother of Tuli Khan who took the initiative.
Li Shimin statue
Li Jing and other generals captured Jie Li Khan alive when they attacked the Eastern Turks. Ashina's association rate also followed his brother and surrendered to Tang Dynasty . Because of his merits, Li Shimin made him serve as the position of guarding the emperor, the General of the Central Army.
Ashina's association rate is different from that of her brother. She has extremely bad character and vicious personality. He was determined to be promoted to a high official position, and was rich and wealthy, and he could do anything. When his brother saw him causing trouble, he took advantage of the situation and did not follow the right path. He repeatedly scolded him for turning back to the right path. Unexpectedly, Ashina was not in a good way to form a group and opposed Tuli Khan with grudges. He repeatedly falsely accused Tuli Khan of the Khan of Li Shimin on his back because he was accused of committing a conspiracy to rebel, and wanted to destroy his brother and become a Khan himself.
Li Shimin is not stupid either. He falsely accused his brother of his fault. He felt that his character was misbehaved, and he was never liked, and he was neglected. He had to be promoted for more than ten consecutive years.

Unexpectedly, Asina was extremely resentful and hated Li Shimin to the core.Then he had the idea of killing Li Shimin. He first bewitched his brother He Luofu, son of his brother Tuli Khan, and said that he would support him and become a Khan himself. He Luofu is young and is really tempted, but assassinating Tian Khan is not a joke. Once there is a mistake, there will be no place to die. Shin'jie said he was not afraid. I had more than 40 Turkic warriors under me, who were strong and brave, had unique skills, had high skills in swords and guns, and had a hundred shots of arrows, which was enough to win ten.
I have used the identity of the General of the Central Army to obtain information. Li Shimin's son King of Jin Li Zhi will go to Jiucheng Palace to pay homage to Li Shimin on the night of April 15th. As long as you ambush the killer outside the north gate of Jiucheng Palace, when Li Zhi and his party enter the palace and open the gate, it is completely fine to rush into the bedroom in a flash to assassinate Li Shimin.

He Luofu believed it, and everyone was smuggled into an alliance and began the assassination operation. Asina's association led more than 40 dead soldiers, holding weapons, and hiding in Jiucheng Palace. To be honest, if the plan is 100%, as long as the palace gate is opened, Li Shimin may be killed.
But people's calculations are not as good as the heaven's calculations. That night, for some reason, Li Zhi didn't come. It is said that Li Shimin thought the weather was bad and temporarily canceled. But now that the matter is at this point, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Ashina's association rule has to launch a strong attack, shouting loudly to ignite fires everywhere. No one expected that there would be an assassin. He was wearing the uniform of the Tang army, and the guards were at a loss. In a chaotic battle, the assassins really rushed into the gate and rushed straight to the bedroom.
The desperate fighter is indeed good. The Tang army on all four lines of defense were killed, and the situation is very critical. The last line of defense in front of the bedroom, the defenders were on the verge of collapse and prepared to scatter the birds and beasts. It was a silent little Zhe Chong Duwei Sun Wukai, drew his sword and shouted, "Today is a good time for us to serve the court and fulfill our loyalty to the country." Go forward and fight. The guards were motivated and took up their weapons to fight to the death. After all, the number of people was small. After a fierce battle, Asina's association rate was repelled. The last step in the assassination operation was in vain.
Tang Gaozong Qianling
The remaining twenty people snatched more than 20 imperial horses and fled, but the Tang army, who reacted alive, pursued them desperately. The Weishui River, which had made a contribution to the first time to save the Tang Dynasty, fled to the bank of the Weishui River. The river water soared, but the people were intercepted by the Tang army. The Tang army surrounded him, and in the end all the assassins were captured.
This time the noise was too great, and Li Shimin was seriously frightened and hurriedly issued an order: several main culprits led by Ashina's association were executed. From this we can see that Li Shimin is indeed okay. He had long implicated the nine clans and executed the whole family. He only executed a few people. The Heluofu, who was constrained, was only exiled to Lingnan and did not exaggerate. The Hu people who served in the army were safe and remained in their original position. After all, it was Tian Khan, so he had to take charge.
But Li Shimin was very touched and said to his close ministers: "The people of the Central Plains are the roots of the world. The Turks and others are like branches and leaves, which damage the roots, but make the branches and leaves lush, making it difficult for the country to maintain long-term stability." expressed his regret that he did not adopt the suggestions of Wei Hui .
Anshi Rebellion
Taizong no longer trusted the Turks. A royal edict turned out that the general of the Eastern Turks, Asinasmo was the Khan, and the surname was Li, sent all the Turks back to the north of the Yellow River , and migrated to the southern desert area of the Mongolian Plateau. It is considered to be a complete abolition of Wen Yanbo's ethnic policy. However, this led to the fact that although the land area of the Tang Dynasty fought south and north, the surrounding barbarians and Hu people were included in the territory, reaching an unprecedented vastness. However, if you can integrate them, these nomadic peoples who are cruising outside will always make a comeback, embarking on the old path of plundering border areas and going south to invade the Central Plains.
Huang Chao Uprising
Frequent wars caused huge losses in the domestic population and financial resources, and the territory they obtained was kept. Emperor Taizong of Tang set up the post of Jiedushi , giving great authority to recruit soldiers, food and wages, and resist the invasion of foreign cavalry.
When the central government of the Tang Dynasty was strong, the place had to listen to the emperor. But at the end of Xuanzong, the governor was far away from the government and his power became increasingly greater, becoming an independent kingdom, which became the biggest hidden danger of the government. Finally, with the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the separatist vassal vassal became more and more intense. When the Huang Chao Rebellion broke out at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the separatist vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vass
