Chapter 331 The Death of Huang Chao
The Seventh Prince said strangely: "What is the reason why the Royal Imperial Garden can also be changed to the name and change the owner?"
Li Yu said: "Reported to the prince's land, the right-level censor Hu Sansi, used a piece of idle land in the east of the city, and changed the name, because the land is no longer owned by the royal family."
The Seventh Prince was shocked and angry: "What's the reason for this? Hu Sansi... Wu, that piece of land was built by Tian Lingzi, why did Hu Sansi use idle land to replace it?"
Li Yu said: "The idle land used by the Prince Hu Jingshi to replace the fields of the Royal Imperial Garden is owned by the Lord Tian Xiangye, so the owner of this land is Tian Xiangye... Tian Xiangye used the ten acres of land in the east of the city to replace the ten acres of land in the east of the city to build this house."
When the Seventh Prince heard this, Zhai Ran was shocked as a minister, as a minister, he dared to exchange privately for the imperial field. This was an offense to the royal family and was untolerable. It actually involved important officials like the right official of the Censorate, which made him even more alert.
The Censorate is the supervisory yamen that supervises civil and military officials
The important supervisor, second only to the Censor Zhongcheng, had such close contact with Tian Lingzi. Can the Censorate still play its role? The Seventh Prince was stunned for a while and waved: "Go away."
Li Jie, the seventh prince of Zong Zhengqing, immediately shouted angrily: "Come here, let the officials of Dali Temple check the king carefully for the reason why the royal imperial garden was replaced by land and the master was replaced by Hu Sansi and Tian Lingzi."
The eunuch stepped down and Guo Ji's eyes turned and stood up and said, "The prince calmed down and investigated slowly. It would be a good thing to do if his father, Lord Tian, made a big move."
The seventh prince said angrily: "So what if the matter is involved in the prime minister, this is simply a deception of the king. I didn't expect that Tian Lingzi's friends were brave enough for traitors. Who can tolerate this? " "The prince calms down the anger of the prince Tian Lingzi for ten years and is loyal to the court. If Tian Lingzi suddenly blames Tian Lingzi for such a trivial matter, he is afraid that the officials in the world will feel disappointed." Guo Ji hurriedly advised him.
Duan Mingyu also said: "The prince doesn't have to do this, Tian Lingzi will bully the emperor and act in a rebellious manner. He will not have much time left even if the prince takes this handle to sue Tian Lingzi at this moment with his favor with him. I believe that he can't defeat him. Why don't you keep this handle for the future to collect enough crimes and attack them until then... Humph."
The next day Duan Mingyu heard an exciting news. Huang Chao fled to Shandong after Wang Mandu's defeat and suffered great damage to the vitality. He happened to all major vassal states and attacked him one after another. Xuzhou Jiedu Shi Pu defeated him at the Hulangkou Huang Chao's troops. All the troops and horses were destroyed. Huang Chao died in the chaos. The head was missing. Only the remains of the corpse. Duan Mingyu felt in a slump when he received this news.
He was familiar with history and naturally knew Huang Chao's life as if he were to take charge of Huang Chao's life in just 5 years before he attacked Chang'an. Soon after this hero who was in the name of the people's survival announced that the empire was called Daqi. He couldn't wait to possess all the beauties left by Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty. All the beauties left in the palace were living a proud life. At this time, a crisis was approaching him step by step.
Huang Chao was forced to flee to Shandong under the counterattack of the Tang Dynasty army. He was exhausted when he led the remaining troops to the foot of Mount Tai.
However, there have been many different opinions about Huang Chao's final outcome for thousands of years. What is confusing is that there are two completely different statements in the official history of the Tang Dynasty. One is that Huang Chao was killed by others, the other is that he committed suicide by killing himself.
The New Book of Tang says that Huang Chao committed suicide. The New Book of Tang records that Huang Chao was defeated by Huang Chao and said to his nephew Lin Yan when he was defeated by Langhu Valley. Then you can still seek wealth and honor. Lin Yan couldn't bear to kill Huang Chao. So Huang Chao committed suicide. The New Book of Tang was written in the Song Dynasty. Before this book, the "Tang Book" was compiled into the Five Dynasties period. In order to distinguish it, the "Tang Book" compiled by the Five Dynasties period was called the "Tang Book" compiled by Ouyang Xiu, Song Qi and others in the Song Dynasty.
Experts introduced that the era of compilation of "New Book of Tang" was relatively peaceful, so many historical materials that were not easy to collect during the war period were collected and sorted. The old Book of Tang said that Huang Chao was killed by his nephew Lin Yan. The "Old Book of Tang? Biography of Huang Chao" contains the following records of Huang Chao's death: "Chao killed Lin Yan and his second brother Ye, and seven others including Kui and his wife were sent to Xuzhou." Not only that, other books such as "Xizong Ji", "Shi Pu Biography" and "Zizhi Tongjian", "Guiyuan Bi Genglu", "Bei Meng Suoyan" and other books also have the same records.
Could it be that Huang Chao did not commit suicide but died in his nephew Lin Yan's hands Lin Yan is Huang Chao's nephew, an important general around Huang Chao. After Huang Chao entered Chang'an, he once selected 500 people with high martial arts skills to form a special force called Guanhe. In fact, it is the Imperial Guard. Huang Chao appointed Lin Yan as the supreme commander of this army.
There is another saying in Dunhuang documents that Huang Chao was killed by a personal general on May 26, 1900. Wang Taoist priest accidentally discovered a secret cave. This cave is the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. What historians of the Tang Dynasty did not expect was that the clues of Huang Chao's death were revealed in the Dunhuang fragment. There was a "Suzhou Report" in the Dunhuang document. Huang Chao's defeat and other situations wrote: The thief Huang Chao was killed by Shang Rang but turned around in Xichuan.
In May 884, Huang Chao was raided by Hedong cavalry in the west of Zhongmu, Henan Province and killed more than 10,000 people at this critical moment, but led 10,000 people to surrender. Tang court speculated that Shang Rang was likely to kill Huang Chao in a melee. The battle report was immediately reported to the court and the combat army. The plot was recorded in "Suzhou Report on Huang Chao's defeat and other situations"
