Video Clip: Top 10 Women in Power

"Li Yuan still has certain abilities. If not, I would not have let him stay by my side." Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian said.

Empress Dugu felt displeased when she saw Li Yuan's inventory: "Your Majesty treats him so highly, yet he is still anti-Da Sui."

"The country of the Sui Dynasty was passed into the hands of Guang'er. If Guang'er could work hard to govern, how could the great Sui country fall into the hands of others."

"However, according to Guanger's inventory, in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was swarming. Even without Li Yuan's rebellion, other soldiers and peasants would revolt."

"Hey, all dynasties and dynasties can't escape such a fate. I only hope that Yang Guang can create a unique Sui Dynasty in another plane."

"Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty? It seems that this is the founding emperor. I also want to know how the Tang Dynasty was established after taking stock of it several times." The first emperor stared quietly at the sky mirror with his eyes like a dragon.

"If you take stock of Li Yuan, you must rely on Li Shimin. Perhaps this is the best starting point to interpret Li Yuan."

"After all, there is nothing more convincing than the fact that one's own descendants surpass one's own."

"In many works with Tang as the background, Li Shimin is portrayed as a very talented and good man."

"He saw that the Sui Dynasty was dying. In order to save the common people in the world, he persuaded his father and started the road of rebellion."

"He possessed a strategic strategy, fought south and north, wiped out the heroes, and competed in Yunei, laying a huge territory for the Tang Dynasty."

"He valued love and righteousness, and tolerated the narrow-minded and extreme elder brother and fourth younger brother who were jealous of talents. Finally, when he was pushed to a dead end, he had no choice but to fight back at the instigation of his subordinates."

"In terms of private life, Li Shimin is still a popular lover. Countless beauties with different personalities are vying to get into his arms."

"In contrast, Li Yuan has been portrayed as cowardly and loyal."

"When he saw that Emperor Sui Yang was violent and merciless, he didn't dare to raise troops;"

"He is lustful and pedantic, greedy for beauty, living a luxurious life, and pursuing pleasure;"

"He has meager talents, unable to control the crowd, he has no ambition, no scheming, he is at a loss when things happen, and lacks leadership skills..."

"These preconceived views have emerged. In the impression of many people, Li Yuan is an insignificant, even dispensable person."

is this real?
"Opening the "Old Book of the Tang Dynasty: The Benji of Gaozu", we will find that Li Yuan's official career has gone so smoothly."

"In the first year of Kaihuang (581), Li Yuan was awarded the position of Qianniu Beishen."

"This Qianniu Beishen is the emperor's personal bodyguard. It is someone like a master of the inner circle."

"It is equivalent to the identity of Zhongnanhai's bodyguard seen by later generations."

"It's just that Li Yuan's identity is the head of the bodyguard. This is a very high starting point."

"Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, favored Li Yuan even more. After all, Emperor Wen is Li Yuan's uncle."

"This is a career that is even more brilliant than what many people have worked hard for all their lives."

"In order to reserve talents, and also for the sake of the Sui Dynasty's eternal prosperity, Li Yuan was sent to other places for training, and successively served as the governor of Qiao, Long, and Qi."

"In the early years of Sui Yangdi's great cause (605), Li Yuan made great strides forward. After working as the prefect in Xingyang and Loufan counties for a period of time, he quickly entered the central government and served as a young prisoner in the palace."

"This time should be Yang Guang and Li Yuan's honeymoon period."

"After all, it is a cousin relationship, and it is also the most appropriate explanation for someone in the DPRK to handle things well."

"Eight years later, Li Yuan was already a third-rank Wei Wei Shaoqing. In the ninth year of Daye (613), Li Yuan was moved to be the prefect of Honghua County, "knowing the military affairs of all the counties."

"In the 12th year (616), he moved to the right Xiaowei general. One year later, Li Yuan was appointed as the left guard of Taiyuan, an important military town in the north, and became a powerful official in the frontier."

"Objectively speaking, there is indeed "special care" from my uncle Sui Wendi, my aunt Dugu Empress, and my cousin Sui Yangdi. However, the main reason for Li Yuan's success as an official lies in his outstanding personal ability."

"First of all, Li Yuan's archery is very superb, it can be called the best in the world."

"In the 11th year of Daye (615), Li Yuan was ordered by the emperor's cousin to go to Shanxi and Hedong to suppress the peasant army, and fought fiercely with the rebel army led by Mu Duan'er at Longmen."

"General generals stand in the formation, draw out their sharp swords, say something like "give it to me", and then hide behind themselves, watching the soldiers charge forward."

"Li Yuan is not. He used his actions to prove to everyone what it means to be a general. Li Yuan, the honored and favored Duke of the Tang Dynasty, attacked with only a dozen or so cavalry."

"He fired seventy arrows in succession, one arrow at a time, defeating thousands of enemy troops, and finally recovered the seventy arrows completely from the enemy's corpse."

"No, that's pretty awesome, it's like a generation of arrow gods!"

"In the 13th year of Daye (617), the Turks invaded the country again. Li Yuan, who was left behind in Taiyuan at that time, was ordered to meet the Turks. At that time, the main force of the Sui army had not arrived, and there was a serious shortage of troops. It was impossible to confront the Turkic cavalry head-on. The situation was very critical."

"At the critical moment, Li Yuan remained calm and unflappable. The most amazing thing is that he organized his younger brothers to perform cultural and sports activities such as hunting and horse racing for the Turkic people."

"This made Turkic confused, he didn't even know what Li Yuan was doing."

"Damn it, did I make a mistake? I didn't fight a war, but started Naadam? There must be a ghost! The Turkic people stared at each other and dared not fight with the Sui army. Li Yuan took advantage of the situation to fight back, and the stupid Turkic people were caught off guard. , and returned in a big defeat."

"The "Old Tang Book" gave Li Yuan a very high evaluation, "(Gaozu) is suave and open-minded, self-willed and straightforward, tolerant and tolerant of everyone, no matter the high or the low, he is favored." It should be admitted that this evaluation is basically true."

"When Li Yuan was concurrently the supervisor of Jinyang Palace, he slept with two women of the emperor. Before he became emperor, he had five sons and three daughters. Sixteen daughters. Ladies and gentlemen, do you think Li Yuan is not suave, not suave?"

"On the day of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Yuan lost two beloved sons at once. It stands to reason that losing a son at an old age, and sending a white-haired man to a black-haired one, is a great tragedy in life. An old man who suffered this blow should be The end of life is not long. But the actual situation is that after the accident, Li Yuan still lived happily for nine years. It can be seen that his personality is really open-minded and cheerful."

It is also true to comment on his "benevolence and tolerance of the public" and "no matter the noble or the humble, he will be pleased with him".Otherwise, there will be no record in the history books that "the great ancestors have tried Chinese and foreign countries, have always cultivated kindness, and have made friends with heroes, with many money attached".

"Li Yuan is very good at pretending."

"In the city of Daxing, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, a nursery rhyme suddenly spread. "Peaches and plums, there is the world."

You don't even need to translate it into vernacular, everyone can see that the content of this sentence is quite outrageous.

It indicates that a man surnamed Li will own the world.This forbidden song quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Daxing, and finally spread to the palace.

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty soon heard the ballad, his mouth crooked and his eyes slanted, and he was furious. After he got mad, he began to think: who would be the person surnamed Li mentioned in the prophecy? Yang Guang soon So he targeted his cousin Li Yuan. He ordered Li Yuan to visit him from Honghua, where he was stationed.”

"Coincidentally, Li Yuan was suffering from a cold at that time and was sick in bed. He didn't think much about it. He thought his cousin was going to invite him to drink, so he declined Yang Guang on the grounds that he was unwell. Yang Guang thought Li Yuan was a guilty conscience. , more suspicious."

"Li Yuan had a younger sister, who was later Princess Chang of Tong'an. Tong'an's daughter, Wang Shi, was Yang Guang's concubine. One day, when Yang Guang was strolling in the palace, he accidentally ran into Wang Shi and asked, "What about your uncle?" Not coming? "

Wang replied, "My uncle is sick."

Li Yuan was terrified when he heard that Emperor Longyan was furious.He knew that he had aroused the dissatisfaction and suspicion of Emperor Sui Yang.If you were an ordinary person, you might have already been so frightened that you were at a loss, and then you racked your brains and tried every means to explain and make up for it.

Li Yuan's difference is reflected to the greatest extent at this time.This is what the history books say: "Gaozu was afraid when he heard about it, because he indulged in drinking and bribed to confuse his traces."

What does that mean?That is to say, Li Yuan was very scared after hearing this, but he didn't explain and defend, but indulged in all day long, drinking and having fun, and put away the black gold.

The key is that the word "mixed" is quite connotative.

The profoundness of Chinese characters lies in the fact that sometimes, behind a simple character, there are countless thought-provoking charms.

The reason why Li Yuan was obsessed with sensuality and taking bribes was not because of his nature, but because he wanted to show off to Emperor Sui Yang.

Cousin, look at me well, cousin, I am a person who lives a luxurious life, is corrupt, and has no enterprising spirit.What threat can such a man with no ambitions pose to you, His Majesty the Emperor?

Li Yuan's pretending to be garlic did have an effect.

Yang Guang felt that his cousin could not be the son of the prophecy.

Therefore, in the 11th year of Daye (615), he used Li Yuan with confidence and sent him to Shanxi and Hedong to suppress the peasant uprising army.Two years later, Li Yuan was promoted to stay behind in Taiyuan.
