There is a pertinent narrative in Bei Ai Yu's "Tiankhan and Li Shimin's bloody battle Xuanwumen" (Wanjuan Publishing Company, 201,10 edition). At the same time, Bei also dug up the fact that he forced historians to revise Ju Zhu after he acceded to the throne. Li Shimin, who inherited his father's footsteps and became the first person in the world, is no longer afraid of his eldest brother Li grabbing the dragon chair, nor does he need to worry about his fourth brother Li Yuanji ambushing the killer behind the banquet screen, but he is still worried about his true journey to the throne. Again and again, he threatened Chu Suiliang to hand over Ju Zhu, refused the admonition of his officials to respect history, and finally forced Fang to try to delete a record and present it to the holy eye. Li Shimin wants to know how historians describe his brilliant achievements in literary and artistic work. He pleaded with Liu Wenjing, invited Pei Ji, and encouraged his father Tang gaozu to rebel against his uncle and father-in-law. He was resourceful and talented, fought everywhere, crusaded everywhere, and defeated other regular troops and miscellaneous troops; Under the guise of liking literature and praising his bachelor's degree, he made preparations for selecting talents and appointing talents and formulating a general plan for governing the country ... From the perspective of China's historical development, he did have achievements in various aspects.
However, what he wants to see most is not these, but a series of plans to kill his brother, father and many heroes in the struggle for power and profit: he aroused the greatest anger of counselors and thugs and attacked his half-brother in Xuanwu Gate; He used the military power to attack the city and directly replaced the position of the emperor's father; He hated Ai Qing Wei Zhi for giving the monument to others after his death, and terminated the original marriage agreement. His favorite protagonist, Fang Mou Du Duan, has been embarrassed to die ... Ironically, after destroying his brothers' children, he sent his son, Juelu, who is also the eldest brother, to marry his brother-in-law, and inherited the title of the fourth brother after giving birth to the child. He directed the history that the family gave way to power, and the sage sheltered the sage, but he was afraid that future generations would laugh at the ethical ugly dramas and historical dramas starring him. He needs to see that this is another version that he must make for the people of his country.
We can't ignore Li Shimin's strong desire for power, position and good name and normal human nature just because he established the great cause of the rule of chastity. When he was young, Li led the army to resist the troubled times under the rule of the bad king, and tirelessly and fearlessly eliminated the mess of the separatist regime. It is really for the common people, in order to realize "helping the world and helping the people". At first, he couldn't say that he didn't want to be a prince or a dragon chair. Otherwise, he can't be in front of his brother, who is ten years older than him, with 20,000 or 30,000 military forces, taking risks against Wang Yijun. He will also be tempted to face the emperor's high and impressive throne. Even if they are hazy and ignorant at first and don't have too many radical ideas, his martial artists and good ministers will clamor for the greatest benefit from their bosses, seal off their wives and children and become the most distinguished and noble people in the sun.
He is good at taking the lead and is a polite corporal. Under the baptism of the war, he was killed into a general who won many battles. He dared to use surrender to make Qu Tutong, Qin, Cheng, Fang and Du Ruhui work for him willingly, because he called the shots again and again. He treated Weichi Gong with courtesy, and even wanted to marry his little daughter to the black old man as a concubine, in exchange for Weichi Gong's daring to rob Li Yuanji of wisdom, refusing several cars of gold, silver and jewelry from Li, and facing Dan's sharp silver gun naked, which won him a reputation of killing his brother and brother in Xuanwu Gate.
Li Shimin fought bravely on the battlefield. Under the situation that his father ordered him to return to Li, he used thousands of troops in Wu prison, which surprisingly wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops in Dou Jiande and quickly pacified the king who had been besieged for more than a year. When he entered the throne, he designed Yang Wengan to conspire against his eldest brother for another purpose, and persuaded his father to say that his brother and aunt were obscene ... At a party in Li Yuanji, he seemed to be drunk and poisoned, but we thought about it before and after. How could he be killed by a sword in Xuanwu Gate three days later? Besides, no matter how bad and stupid Li Yuanji is, how can he poison his brother at his own party? No matter how to seduce the eldest brother Xu's younger brother, I dare you to face the reality that Qin is not fatuous and eyeing up. This shows that Li Shimin was poisoned by himself and took the antidote in advance. Otherwise, how could he escape from Qi's murderer and return to his hometown after a bumpy journey to attract attention?
As early as more than ten years before Li Shimin opened the curtain of Zhenguan, he had been a pioneer in the journey of iron and blood. He can be cruel to his enemies, relatives and friends. His victory, to a certain extent, was due to Li's forbearance, who repeatedly stopped the killer arranged by Li Yuanji. Compatriots' kinship and consanguinity have made Li, who is both civil and military, let go again and again, and also made himself a sincere and timid tragic figure in the power field. Later, Li Shimin's eldest son, Li Chenggan, experienced a similar fate.
In the desperate struggle to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, the Li brothers were very different in ability and political integrity, and they were harmonious and friendly. After sharing the glory, a bloody * * * power struggle made them slowly forget the initial joys and sorrows and forget the unchanged blood relationship. Their father, Li Yuan, was helpless in the face of the hard struggle and distorted human relations in this power field, which inadvertently contributed to the complex power game between brothers. Li Shimin advised him to conquer the world, and he promised to pass the Jiangshan to the people after the job was done; He was sent to the western regions for him, and he was awarded a series of important posts, such as Shimin, Qiu, Shangshuling, Daxiangtai, General and Stuart. Before Li Shimin led the troops to quell the rebellion, he promised that Chu Jun would change places when he triumphed. The contradiction between his sons has intensified. He wants Shimin to move to Dongdu, so he can set up a banner for the son of heaven ... Time and time again, Li Shimin is no longer satisfied with his father's empty check, and he challenges the prince sharply. Li Yuan has always supported the establishment of the eldest son. He made himself a prince first, and then he made him a prince. He is not allowed to take the lead, and he is not blamed for plotting to store troops and ignoring the harem. Irrational fatherly love made his sons play all the strategies for power, constantly attacking and attacking, and doing everything they can, which eventually led to a family tragedy in which brothers ate each other and father and son separated, and almost plunged this country, which had just been in ruins, into a large-scale war again.
For this period of history, it reflects and analyzes the contradiction of Kitano's concentration from a microscopic perspective, highlighting the profoundness and backwardness of China's feudal power field, patriarchal society and family inheritance. He made a detailed sketch of Li and his son, and analyzed many historical figures and events with their emotional changes as the main line. For example, the brilliant ones died before the heroes competed for hegemony in Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qin and Li Shiji changed hands, the Taoist priest was enthusiastic and loyal to politics, the illiterate farmer Dou Jiande showed great love and kindness to literati, and Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing were once friends and enemies. Behind it is Yin Defei's desire to help Li ... These great men in Sui and Tang Dynasties, such as emperors, princes, powerful ministers, generals, yes-men, etc., can't budget their own ups and downs when they dominate the fate of others. The struggle, bloodiness, sadness and desolation of this period of history are popularly interpreted in North Ai Yu. From time to time, network languages and dialects are introduced, and modern sayings and titles are applied to make the details and plots, characters and events, images and characters in Tiankhan Li Shimin's bloody battle at Xuanwu Gate vivid and readable.
Based on historical materials and anecdotes, Bei deciphered the power struggle, human relations, good and evil before the prosperous time of Zhenguan, cracked the real scene that interfered with the historian's record of good and evil, and tore off the fig leaf with ugly soul, thin family ties and bloody wrists, thus overflowing with unique lightness, naturalness, truthfulness and interest, which was fascinating. But what puzzles me is that the plot and development of this book are basically the same as the 20 1 1 version of The New Sui and Tang Dynasties (also known as "Creating a Prosperous Age") starring Shen Xiaohai, ZhangZijian and Sun Feifei. Why is it not known? There are many other spelling and expression mistakes, such as writing "rare wild animals" as "cherishing wild animals", mistaking "shedding tears" as "leaving tears", interpreting "satrap" as "equivalent to today's governor" and treating "assistant minister of the official department" as "minister of the Central Organization Department". This must be said to be the negligence and mistakes of the author and editor, so we should warn our dear ones.
