Autumn wind will accompany every fallen leaf! Whether it is ginkgo or anything else.
The siege against Xu Sihao's Jiedu Zhang Yan After the defeat in the first two battles, the court did not have enough determination and patience. Two months later, the court was forced to admit that Zhang Yan was staying as the Jiedu of Xuzhou . Du You no longer served as the Jiedushi of Xu Sihao, and Liu Yuxi was also replaced by the Chief Secretary of the Huainan Jiedushi. At this time, Du You was already over 60 years old, and his years of political experience made him very proficient in the finance, military, geography, etc. of the court. In his spare time, Du You's words and deeds benefited Liu Yuxi a lot.
At the end of 801 AD, Liu Yuxi was transferred to the position of the head of Weinan County, Jingzhao. Weinan County (now Weinan) is in the northeast of Chang'an , very close to Chang'an. It is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture , and Wei Xiaqing is the governor of Jingzhao . Wei Xiaqing is over thirty years older than Liu Yuxi and likes talented literati and patriots. When he was the governor of Suzhou and Changzhou in his early years, he heard about Liu Yuxi. Later, Liu Yuxi passed three consecutive exams in a row, and Wei Xiaqing paid special attention.
Shortly after Liu Yuxi was transferred to Weinan County, Liu Zongyuan was transferred to Lantian County as a county lieutenant. Wei Xiaqing admired the talents of both of them very much, so he often asked them to draft various documents and memorials. At the end of 802, Du You was transferred back to Chang'an as prime minister, and was also in charge of various projects, water conservancy, military farming, etc. across the country. Du You knew Liu Yuxi's talent, and soon Liu Yuxi was officially appointed as the imperial censor.
: In terms of grade, the Censorship is only eighth rank, but the scope of power is very large, including purging court etiquette, supervising the work of civil and military officials, inspecting county governments in various places, etc. Here, Liu Yuxi met the already famous Han Yu. Han Yu is four years younger than Liu Yuxi. Both his parents died when he was young and was raised by his brother and sister-in-law. The two people have similar aspirations and fall in love with the same thing at first sight. What made Liu Yuxi even happier was that a few days later, Liu Zongyuan was also transferred. The gathering of three new stars in the literary world caused a great sensation in the literary world at that time.
Just when the three people were in the officialdom, there was a severe drought this year, and the crops of ordinary people were almost unrealized. Chang'an City even had children exchanged for rice. At that time, Li Shi, not only did not open the warehouse and release grain to help the people, but instead deceived the emperor and said, "Although there was a drought this year, the grain harvest was very good." Tang Dezong did not distinguish between grains since childhood, so he decided to pay various tax burdens as usual. After seeing these situations, Han Yu submitted a memorial to the emperor " On the Censorate's Discussion on the Falling of Droughts and People". However, a few days later, he was demoted by the emperor to the county magistrate of Yangshan, Lianzhou (now Yangshan, Guangdong).
In the later period of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty, in order to satisfy his enjoyment and selfish desires, he cleverly established a name to increase various taxes. At the same time, he used eunuchs to supervise the imperial guards and favored some corrupt officials who flattered and deceived superiors and subordinates. The people were suffering. At the same time, Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan, Han Yu, Bai Juyi, , Yuan Zhen, , Li Shen, , Wang Ya and other literati and ambitious people who had just entered the official career were also filled with righteous indignation and complained.
Crown Prince Li SongDon't like eunuchs, so he cultivated some new strength through his close minister Wang Shuwen . Gradually, the new faction represented by Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan became the main political force in the crown prince. Unexpectedly, in the winter of 804 AD, Prince Li Song suddenly suffered from and could not speak. A few days later, Emperor Dezong of Tang became worried and could not afford to get sick. He died more than 20 days later, at the age of 64.
After the death of Emperor Dezong of Tang, Dang Shunzong of Tang Li Song succeeded to the throne successfully. Because he had a stroke and was bedridden, all affairs in the court could only be conveyed through the queen and his close minister Wang Shuwen. As the saying goes, "One emperor and one minister", political forces represented by Wang Shuwen rose rapidly.
In February 805 AD, Emperor Shunzong of Tang was amnesty. In addition to normal taxes, all excess taxes, palace markets, etc. were cancelled, and two thousand palace maids were released from the palace. After the new policy was introduced, people were very happy and the people praised it repeatedly.For a time, the new forces represented by Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan developed rapidly, and everyone was actively proposing various new policies and plans, and the whole court was in a prosperous scene. Winter goes and spring comes, and flowers bloom. On this day, Liu Yuxi and others admire the blooming peony flowers in the courtyard. Looking at all kinds of colorful peonies, Liu Yuxi immediately recited this song "Appreciation of Peony":
