In the first year of Guangzhai, after the famous general in Yangzhou, Xu Jingye rebelled. For Wu Zetian, she encountered many people's opposition on the way to power, and Xu Jingye's rebellion was actually not shocking to the empress, but when she saw the article "Seeking Wu Cao" on the desk, her face changed drastically, and the defense was completely broken.
The four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty are connected by the previous and the next
It was the famous literary giant Luo Bingwang who wrote such a "Martial Edict" that changed the face of a generation of empress Wu Zetian. For Luo Bing Wang, our understanding of him is often only a "Song of the Goose", many people do not understand why the person who wrote such a popular and somewhat naïve and childish poem can be called the Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty, after all, Wang Bo, who was known as one of the Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty and Luo Bingwang, wrote the astonishing work "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng". But when this article is taken out, all the doubts are broken, although this is only a work positioned as a functional article, and it should be called an official document now, but between the lines it can't suppress the surging style of this prodigy.
Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the society prevailed in the nine-rank zhongzheng system, and officials in the imperial court who needed to be selected had to be selected from the deceased family or recommended by themselves. During the Kaihuang period, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian established a new unified dynasty, in order to more reasonably select talents, but also to weaken the power of local families and consolidate centralized power, so the imperial examination system was further improved and developed. The Great Sui Dynasty died after the Second Dynasty, and was succeeded by the more powerful Li Tang Dynasty, which further carried forward the imperial examination system and became the most orthodox selection method for the imperial court. However, during the Tang Dynasty, the influence of the great families was still quite large, and the recommendation system corresponding to the imperial examination system still existed.
Compared with the imperial examination system, although the recommendation system is not absolutely mainstream, when those scholars who enter the official career through the imperial examination system suddenly find that the family and the recommendation system still occupy a strong influence in the officialdom. Luo Bingwang was born in a poor family, which determined that it was difficult for him to enter the investment scope of the family.
If Luo Bingwang was like the rest of the Tang Dynasty, he was originally a mediocre person, there would be no problem. But Luo Bingwang was a famous prodigy back then, and the popular song "Song of the Goose" was his work when he was seven years old. Luo Binwang's father used to be the commander of Bochang County in Qingzhou during his lifetime, and this only family lineage also ceased to exist with the death of his father. Although Luo Bingwang is talented and learned, he does not have the endorsement of the family, even if you are a talented genius, it will not help.
In the ancient Chinese literati group, the lack of talent was a very important emotional fuse, and the literati and writers of all generations have created a lot of literary masterpieces around this emotional center. However, for the Tang Dynasty, this magnificent literary era happened to appear after the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, just like Chen Ziang, who was also in the early Tang Dynasty, wrote at the end of the poem. Behind them is the most magnificent era in Chinese history.
Literati and anti-thieves
Luo Bingwang is full of talent, but he is just going around to be a staff member, coincidentally, many years later, there is a man named Li Bai who also became a clerical staff in the state of mind that he has never met with talents, different people at different times, but they have the same goal.
King Luo Bin lost hope in this society, and he wondered if he could really change his fate by overthrowing Wu Zetian's rule? But there is one thing he forgets, the fate of his life that cannot be reused is not brought to him by Empress Wu Zetian, and he was depressed during the reign of Tang Gaozong and Li Zhi.
Rebellion is just to find something to do and vent the anger in your heart. A smart person like Luo Bing Wang himself knows very well that there is no turning back when he opens his bow to rebel, and once he takes this step, he will never come back. What did King Luo Bing have to fear? Only death.
Ironically, the first sentence of the opening sentence of King Luo Bin's essay is that the pseudo-Linzhao Wu clan is not docile, and the land is really cold. What does this mean? The empress Wu Zetian is not a good person, she has many intrigues and tricks in her heart, and she is from a poor background. This is from the same root, why is it too anxious, the same is the end of the world, where the words are desolate. If it is really according to what Luo Bingwang said in the article, then Wu Zetian's life is what Luo Bingwang dreams of the most, starting from the end of Qingping and starting in Jiutian.
For Wu Zetian, Xu Jingye's rebellion occurred after she broke with Pei Yan, the old prime minister of the dynasty. Pei Yan was born in the Pei family in Hedong, a standard famous family, and the two had previously cooperated to depose Emperor Li Xian. But when Pei Yan found out that Wu Zetian's ambitions were more than this, in a vain attempt to ascend to the sky, Pei Lao Xiangguo was willing to organize Wu Zetian with all his body.
In fact, for Wu Zetian, the influence of the family forces represented by Pei Yan far exceeded that of Xu Jingye's army, and as for Luo Bingwang's "Seeking Wu Cao", it made Wu Zetian feel the anger of being insulted rather than the panic of threatening the rule. This is why when Wu Zetian saw the wonderful pen in this article, he sighed again and again that the fall of such a masterpiece was a dereliction of duty by the prime minister.
Xu Jingye's army finally failed, and the interesting thing is that the weight of these three words Xu Jingye in the long river of history is far less than this "Seeking Wu Cao". This reminds me of Tang Disheng in the movie "The Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea", a person who has been pursuing the four words of priceless articles all his life. The same is true of King Luo Bin, a poem and an article, inheriting the ancient legacy, opening Li Du Shengshi, such a life, who still says that scholars are useless.
