The Chang'an Conference is world-famous.
At that time, Xu Wenyuan was teaching for a living in Chang'an. Xu Wenyuan is arrogant and self-proclaimed erudite. He was born into a family of eunuchs. His grandfather Xu Xianzhi was a famous minister of the Southern Dynasty Liang, and his father Xu Zhanzhi was also very famous. Such a family background allowed him to develop lofty ambitions and independent character from an early age.
Once, a Confucian scholar was giving a lecture in Chang'an, and Xu Wenyuan went to listen to the lecture. Confucian lectured for a long time, quoting scriptures and classics, and witty words. Everyone present listened to his lecture with wide eyes and studied him carefully. Only Xu Wenyuan looked down on him in his heart, superficial and incomprehensible. When the scholar had an argument with Xu Wenyuan, Xu Wenyuan couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the door.
When asked about his cheeky behavior, he listed more than a dozen of his students' mistakes. These words quickly spread throughout Chang'an, and everyone admired Xu Wenyuan's profound knowledge and wisdom. Many scholars came to him for advice. As a result, Xu Wenyuan's reputation spread far and wide. On weekdays, he always wears plain clothes and looks restrained, which is different from ordinary people. But when it comes to learning, he is as eye-catching as a carp jumping over the dragon gate.
Even Emperor Wen of Sui at that time, Yang Jian, appreciated his talent and persuaded him to leave his post and enter the palace to be the teacher of the crown prince Yang Liang. Of course Xu Wenyuan refused, but deep in his heart, he had long lost hope in this troubled era and lost trust in the rulers of the Great Sui. He had the ambition to seek justice for his family and his country. So, he decided to enter the palace to learn about the crumbling dynasty and lay the foundation for his future plans.
For a time, Xu Wenyuan became famous and became a well-known scholar in Chang'an. For him, the honor and status of the world are nothing but floating clouds. He was ready to overthrow the decaying dynasty when the time came.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, his career was bumpy.
Soon, Emperor Wen of Han died, and his son Yang Guang succeeded him as Emperor Yang of Sui. At the beginning of his reign, Yang Guang was a brutal emperor who did not hesitate to kill the powerful to establish his rule. Compared with his father's kindness, Yang Guang was secretly afraid of Xinjun. He knew that the Xu Wenyuan dynasty was on the verge of extinction.
Xu Wenyuan sympathized with Emperor Wen of Sui and was the teacher of the crown prince Yang Liang, so he was estranged from the new emperor Yang Guang. Once, Xu Wenyuan gave a lecture to Yang Liang and talked about the way to govern the country, Yang Liang listened to it with relish, and even had the idea of competing for the throne. Yang Guang was furious when he heard this, and forced Xu Wenyuan to leave Chang'an, and never again sought public office.
Xu Wenyuan's career was in trouble for a time, and his reputation was damaged. But that didn't affect his work, and he was even relieved. He even breathed a sigh of relief, because in this way, he could dispel Yang Guang's doubts and implement his plan more resolutely. In fact, he did not want to die with the powerful, but only wanted to realize his political ambitions. Now, he can finally remove the shackles from his body and no longer be controlled by others. On the contrary, his free consciousness was awakened. He decided to concentrate on cultivating his own ** and turned his dissatisfaction with this corrupt dynasty into action.
Raise rebel heroes and plan rebellions.
Xu Wenyuan opened a special school in a remote house outside Chang'an City"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband"For the school motto, recruit test takers, and teach the art of governing the country and quelling chaos. These young men were all talented and ambitious, and many of them rose to prominence and overthrew the Sui dynasty and established a new dynasty.
Xu Wenyuan strictly asked them to step up their studies on weekdays, but secretly had other intentions. With his own unique teaching style, he guided the students to recognize this decadent dynasty, and then cultivated their sense of resistance, gradually setting off a storm to overthrow the Sui Dynasty. This is an unsolved mystery. Because Xu Wenyuan knew in his heart that if he could not overthrow the rule of the rulers of the Sui Dynasty, it would be difficult to push the wheel of history and achieve a peaceful and prosperous era.
The first to rebel was Xu Wenyuan's big ** Yang Liang. This person was ambitious and initially like-minded with Xu Wenyuan. Under Xu Wenyuan's leadership, he gradually realized that the dynasty was about to fall, and it was difficult to make a difference without breaking the bottom line. Under Xu Wenyuan's planning, Yang Liang raised the banner to rebel, but soon failed and was captured.
Xu Wenyuan was not intimidated. Because he had long known the status quo of this troubled world, and knew that Yang Liang's rebellion was only the first spark that ignited the conflict. Although Yang Liang failed, the world was already dark. An even greater storm of rebellion lies ahead. One after another who have lost their faith will stand up and finally bury this decaying empire. This was only the first step in his plan to overthrow the Sui Dynasty.
Train more students and constantly surpass themselves.
Another student, Yang Xuangan, refused to accept the discipline. His father Yang Su was very outstanding, but he was hated and ostracized by Emperor Yang of Sui, so Yang Xuangan was very dissatisfied with the imperial court. Under the leadership of Xu Wenyuan, he decided to attack the Sui army during the Sui army's northern expedition to Goguryeo, destroying the grain and grass on the front line. This move dealt a heavy blow to the Sui army, and the front line was in chaos.
Although this rebellion also ended in failure, it shook the fighting power of the Sui army. It seriously weakened the military strength of the Sui Dynasty's Northern Expedition, and it can be said to be a complete victory. This undoubtedly created an opportunity for the rise of the Tang Dynasty. Xu Wenyuan saw it in his eyes and secretly laughed in his heart. Although Yang Xuangan's rebellion failed, it played an important role in the overall situation that he carefully prepared.
Later, Li Mi and Wang Shichong, with the strategic support of Xu Wenyuan, also entered the mountains one after another and established their own regimes, posing a great threat to the Sui Dynasty. These two ** are better than the other. Under Xu Wenyuan's careful guidance, they not only have outstanding military talents, but also have a unique and rigorous concept of governance. Wang Shichong even established the state of Zheng, proclaimed himself emperor, and ruled the Central Plains for several years.
It was in these uprisings that the late Tang dynasty was able to rise to prominence and gradually dominate the world. Seeing a few ** rebelling in full swing, Xu Wenyuan was secretly happy. It was these rebel heroes, echoing side by side in his carefully conceived conspiracy, that drove the fall of the Sui Dynasty. Everything was planned and expected by him, and this troubled time heralded the birth of a new empire.
Dou Wei was the last ** cultivated by Xu Wenyuan, but he did not rebel, on the contrary, Xu Wenyuan was very important to him. Xu Wenyuan introduced him to Li Yuan, and he became one of Li Yuan's loyal ministers. Li Yuan was not outstanding at first, but it was Xu Wenyuan who discovered her talent and ambition among many heroes and heroes. At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Dou Wei, under the guidance of Xu Wenyuan, gave advice to Li Yuan and laid the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
As the sun sets, the clock does not stop, and time changes.
At the same time, the Sui Dynasty also lost its national strength. Under the successive blows of Xu Wenyuan**, this once prosperous empire collapsed, and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui also lost his fighting spirit. In the face of the rising Tang army and various rebel armies, the declining Tang Dynasty was no longer their opponent.
When Li Yuan finally invaded Chang'an, ascended to the foundation of the country, and officially overthrew the Sui Dynasty, Xu Wenyuan gently touched his chin. The last wish of his life - to build a new empire through his own elaborate planning - has finally come true. Although he was the sole mastermind of the whole process, everyone was under his control. Without his planning, there would have been no change of dynasty.
Although Xu Wenyuan did not personally participate in military operations, he was like a master of chess skills, step by step to lay out the chess game of overthrowing the old dynasty and establishing a new one. Of course, none of this was his creation. Just as a game of chess must be played by the same chess players, this historical chess game of changing dynasties is also inseparable from the strength of Yang Liang and other disciples. However, throughout the process, Xu Wenyuan, the military master of the Secret Pavilion, played an irreplaceable role.
When Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty surrendered and the Sui Dynasty was overthrown, many of Xu Wenyuan's ** were already in high positions. And he himself has long since retired to the mountains and forests, away from the hustle and bustle. His life's ambitions and aspirations have been fulfilled, and the fall and establishment of the empire is no longer important to him.
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty established by Li Yuan was becoming stronger and more stable, Xu Wenyuan finally felt at ease. Looking at the renovated Jinchuan Gate in front of Chang'an City and the murals in Luoyang Palace, he hoped that this new dynasty would be able to calm the war, govern the world, and benefit the people. He also came to realize that a truly great person must not only pursue personal prosperity and wealth, but also take care of family and country.
We can say that he achieved nothing in his life, or we can say that he achieved nothing in his life. He hoped that future generations would remember his efforts and goals, and prayed that his only thought was peace, so that innocent people would no longer be baptized by war. He also hoped that the Tang Dynasty would be able to govern the country fairly, that the troubled times would end, and that the people would be able to live and work in peace and contentment.
