What did Sok Li, the imperial clan minister who saved the situation, do in the face of real danger?

The Tang Dynasty is a dynasty that China people yearn for and are proud of. However, since the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty gradually entered the late period of weakness. At this time, eunuchs rose and soon became powerful. In order to stabilize the situation and prevent other ministers from rebelling again, Tang Dezong put eunuchs in charge of the imperial army directly, which led to the customization of the regulations. From then on, the eunuch's power suddenly increased and was no longer controlled. Even the emperor is difficult to control. The imperial power fell into the hands of eunuchs, and the situation was once again dangerous.

In 835, Tang Wenzong was 27 years old and had ruled the whole country. He tried to get rid of the eunuchs' control, so he and the then ministers Li Xun and Zheng Zhu plotted to destroy the eunuch group in order to regain the imperial power. Later, Emperor Tang Wenzong made an excuse to let eunuch leader Chou Shiliang wait until the backyard of the guards to observe the dew. In fact, he wanted to kill it. As a result, this plan was seen through by Shiliang Zhou in advance, so he sent troops to launch a fierce battle. As a result, most of the main officials of the imperial court, headed by Prime Minister Li Xun, were killed by eunuch soldiers and the people were wiped out. More than one thousand people were killed by eunuchs before and after this incident. This is the famous' manna change' in history.

After this war, the South Asian officials under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister were almost wiped out by the regiment, the emperor was completely controlled by eunuchs, and the imperial power was further reduced to their hands. An important historical figure stepped onto the historical stage, and he was Sok Li. He saved the day, but when real danger came, he chose to leave the emperor. What happened to him?

Sok Li

1. Who is Sok Li?

Sok Li was born in Longxi. He was a member of the imperial clan of the Tang Dynasty. His ancestors were Li Shenfu, the Prime Minister and King Xiang Yi, and he was his fifth grandson. In the late Tang Dynasty, he was an important figure, but due to his age, his date of birth and death could not be verified. But one thing, although he was born in Li's imperial clan, he didn't have the inferiority of master Hua Hua, but he was very diligent and studious since he was a child. In 8 18 ad, he was admitted to Jinshi and. Judging from a series of events and the time when they happened, he should not be too old at that time. This also shows from one side that he was successful in scientific research when he was young, and it is in line with historical facts to study hard and study hard when he was a child.

Sok Li was born in a living room and studied hard since childhood.

After the senior high school entrance examination, Sok Li was accepted as an aide by Liang Gong Li Ting, and he worked in four towns with Li Ting, whose position was mainly "frugality". Sok Li's working ability is excellent. He is good at arguing and managing people, so the people at the bottom are convinced of him. Whenever Li listens to orders to lead troops to go out, Li Shilai is allowed to lead affairs in the rear, so Li listens to orders deeply.

In 829, Sok Li's official position continued to improve, and he was already a "sliding army horse of Zheng". At this time, Li told him to go to the court to report things to the emperor. In his report, Sok Li was able to analyze things clearly, so he left a good impression on Tang Wenzong. As a result, Tang Wenzong promoted his official position to the Ministry of Industry, and concurrently served as the' Judge of Salt and Iron Case'.

Two years later, in 83 1 year, Sok Li was replaced as a doctor of punishments. After more than a month, Minister Linghu Chu wanted to go to Taiyuan to be our deputy, and asked the emperor to let Sok Li join us as our deputy. The emperor agreed. But less than two years later, in 833, Tang Wenzong transferred Sok Li back to Korea and promoted him as a "envoy".

Two years later, in 835, Sok Li was once again promoted by the emperor to Zhao Yin, Beijing, and soon he was directly promoted to assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance, who also held the post of "examining expenditures". This year 1 1 month, the change of manna took place, which ended in the failure of the emperor, and many courtiers such as Prime Minister Li Xun were killed by the eunuch group. In this way, Sok Li stepped onto the stage of history and was named Tongpingzhang, the de facto prime minister. At the same time, he added the position of doctor in the court and continued to take care of the expenditure affairs at work.

Li Shilian was promoted.

Second, in the crisis, turn the situation around.

After the change of Ganlu, the officials of Nanya under the control of the Prime Minister were basically eliminated by eunuchs, and the court had no right to confront eunuchs. At this time, officials in Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, especially the prison army, in order to enable the emperor to recruit more soldiers, made a large number of soldiers' clothing and rations for the emperor's use. This incident may lead to another eunuch mutiny. Sok Li carefully considered its interests and thought that the emperor had no right to fight against the eunuchs below, so he played the role of the son of heaven:' As a prime minister, I just helped the emperor to manage the ministers. If I am loyal and selfless, then the gods will naturally bless me, even if there are swords and soldiers can't hurt me. If I have evil thoughts, even if there are many soldiers guarding me, I will be killed by ghosts and gods. The clothes and rations provided by these two places were also returned by the emperor. Guards in South Asia, as long as Wu Jin guards, is enough. Tang Wenzong thought it was reasonable, so he returned the food and clothing, leaving the eunuch group speechless, thus avoiding a danger.

After the change of Mana, eunuchs were in power.

In the winter of this year, Tian Quancao, the eunuch leader, and Liu, the envoy of China, returned to Beijing from the frontier, releasing news that they would send troops to kill all the ministers in the DPRK after returning to Beijing. At this time, North Korean officials were very worried, and the people lost patience with the continuous mutiny, which led to greater noise, and various hooligans from all over the country took the opportunity to make trouble. At this time, Minister Qin Zheng advised Sok Li to leave Beijing for a rainy day. Sok Li dismissed this and said, "The current situation is unknown. As the prime minister, I should be in Beijing, which may calm this situation. How can I escape if disaster befalls all of us? At this time, Sok Li was very calm in the capital, his official duties were not abandoned, and the chaos in the capital finally subsided under his handling.

The eunuch said that he would kill all the courtiers.

In a series of turmoil, Emperor Tang Wenzong has basically lost confidence. He asked the minister, "Which king do you think Lian in the Han Dynasty can compare with?"? To this answer, Emperor Wendi and Han. These two emperors are both masters of ZTE. Hearing this, Tang Wenzong sighed:'' I have this ability to compare with them. The emperor's depression made Li disapprove, so he inspired the emperor to say, "What the emperor asked and answered was wrong. Your majesty is now in charge of the four seas, young and strong. He should learn from Yao Shun. How can he think he can't even compare with Wenxuan? As long as the emperor sets higher aspirations, the country has great hope of becoming prosperous. '

In 836 A.D., Sok Li's position was increased to two positions: assistant minister of Zhongshu and university student of Jixian Hall, and he was also awarded the role of salt and iron transshipment ambassador. Soon, our special envoy to Zhao Yi, Liu Cong, wrote to the emperor, publicly impeached eunuchs and listed their crimes. Because the real power was still in the hands of officials, impeachment had no effect, but the eunuch leader Shiliang Zhou and others began to converge. In April of this year, the Prime Minister told the emperor something in Chenziting, which made some people with ulterior motives say that the emperor was plotting to let the Prime Minister lead troops to round up and kill eunuchs. Sok Li still thinks that eunuchs are too powerful to fight against them, so he asks Tang Wenzong to call eunuchs and prime ministers and explain things clearly, so that the eunuchs' doubts can be eliminated.

Third, after being assassinated, apply to flee to avoid disaster.

Regardless of personal safety, Sok Li continued to assist the emperor in handling state affairs, and repeatedly confronted the eunuch clique. Sok Li's goal is to adhere to the imperialist program and finally restore the imperial power. Shiliang Zhou, the eunuch leader, knew this, so he planned to get rid of Sok Li. On the morning of the fifth day of the first month in 838, Sok Li went to the early dynasty, only to be shot by a cold arrow on the way, so he released his horse and ran back to his mansion. After crossing the square gate, there was an ambush, and the assassin came out to kill him again. Fortunately, his horse escaped from the encirclement because of shock, but the assassins cut off the ponytail. Sok Li saved his life in the assassination, but he almost died and was frightened. Tang Wenzong was scared when he heard the news. He quickly sent a special envoy to visit him, gave him medicine to treat his wound and sent more than 30 soldiers to protect him.

After the news of the assassination spread everywhere, the whole capital was deeply shocked, and hundreds of officials were afraid to go to court for fear of being killed. Only nine officials insisted on going to court. It lasted for more than ten days before it gradually returned to normal.

Sok Li changed his temperament after being hunted.

At this time, Sok Li was very scared, as if he and the dead Sok Li were different people. He even played the emperor many times in a row and wanted to resign from his official position. Emperor Tang Wenzong, who needed help at this time, was in great pain. What can he do? Later, he was not allowed to resign, but was appointed as' Dr. Jin Guanglu'. He also served as several officials, including: Assistant Minister of Chinese Book and Tong Pingzhang. And gave him the opportunity to leave Beijing, let him do Jiangling Yinying, and serve as our envoy in Jingnan. In this way, Li Shicai was able to leave the capital and flee to local officials, in fact, in order to avoid disaster. After Sok Li arrived in Jingnan, he immediately submitted his resignation to the emperor and resigned as assistant minister of Zhongshu. The emperor agreed, but he was given the position of "Minister of War".

Sok Li managed to escape from the capital.

In 840 AD, Tang Wuzong ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, and Sok Li was named "Right Servant Shooter". There are many comments about Sok Li in history. These include:

Liu Yong's evaluation of him is: Li Xun's rebellion, human feelings are at stake, and the son of heaven lifted a stone in the constant turmoil and paid a balance. History was eccentric in serving the country, regardless of adversity, rallied on the stage and restored national prestige. At the beginning of the opening, Emperor Tao was destroyed, and Shi wanted to perk up his mood. Several babies were thieves, which was a duh. You can't stop breathing when you leave.

Song Qi, a famous historical figure, commented on him like this: Zhi Qing Zhou, Zhao Zhou and Mao Yuan all share the same surname as Guo Ye. Nine prime ministers entered the imperial clan in the Tang Dynasty. Fu Lin's betrayal almost destroyed the world. Li Cheng and Rou invented nothing during their reign. The rest are qualified because of their talents, and they are called virtuous prime ministers.

In my opinion, Sok Li played a great role in the political stability in the early Tang Dynasty, and played a positive role in maintaining stability and making people live and work in peace and contentment. But later, the performance was disappointing. Because of Sok Li's departure, the emperor suddenly lost an important power, which made the rebellion of the powerful officials and eunuchs more active, objectively accelerated the demise of the Tang Dynasty and re-entered the chaotic era of China at that time.
