Chapter 202: General Li Anyan
"Brother...!"
Seeing that Li Zhan asked Changkong to take away the sweet potatoes, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I have worked hard for my work recently. I will invite my brother to the Qujiang banquet tomorrow."
Qujiang is a river next to Dunhuafang. It is known as one of the predecessors of Chinese classical gardens. During the Qin Dynasty, the royal forbidden garden was opened here... Yichun Garden and the famous Li Palace... Yichun Xiayuan.
When the Sui Dynasty, Daxing City was built against Qujiang, Emperor Wen of Sui was suspicious and suspicious and superstitious about Feng Shui. Daxing City was high in the southeast and low in the northwest, and Feng Shui was in the southeast. The harem was located in the middle of the north side, so it could not surpass the southeast in terms of terrain. Some people suggested that the "disgusted victory" method should be used to break it.
For example, if the Qujiang River is dug into a deep pond, separated from the city, and occupied it into a royal forbidden garden, becoming a place for emperors to recreate, this will protect the kingly aura of the Sui Dynasty from threat. Fortunately, there is a natural form of Qushui circulation here, and a little repair can become a place of scenery.
By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty expanded the construction scale and cultural connotation of Qujiang Garden. In addition to the general construction of Ziyun Tower, Caixia Pavilion, Liangtang and Penglai Mountain in Furong Garden, a large-scale water conservancy project yellow canal was also dug to expand the water surface of Furong Pond and Qujiang Pond, and it became a place where royal families, monks and civilians gathered and visited.
"What is Qujiang Banquet?" Li Zhan looked at Li Chengqian with some confusion.
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "The Qujiang Banquet is a big feast. There will be talented men from all over the world at the banquet, and there will be many talented ladies from all over the country.
If you can show off your face at the Qujiang banquet, you will be incredible.
By the way... Li Anyan gave me a few good poems, which will definitely be amazing at that time."
"Li Anyan..." Li Zhan frowned slightly when he heard this name, but Li Zhan did not express too much. Why... because Li Zhan just talked about Han King Li Yuanchang and Hegan Chengji.
Li Zhan could not defeat all the people Li Chengqian trusted in one time period.
However, this Li Anyan was indeed a hidden master. Everyone knows that Li Anyan was Li Jiancheng's general. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Anyan still rushed to Li Shimin's camp regardless of his life, trying to avenge the prince. Li Shimin felt that Li Anyan was a loyal and righteous man, so he pardoned Li Anyan and asked him to take charge of the position of guard in the palace.
At this time, Li Anyan's position was already the General of the Central Army of Zuotun Guard. The General of the Central Army of Zuotun Guard was not too big, nor was it small. During the Tang Dynasty, the General of Zuotun Guard was on the same level as the Minister of the Six Divisions. Under the General, there were two generals, and the Minister of the Secretariat. Under the General were the General, and under the General were the General, and the General was the General, and the General was on the same level as the General. In this way, everyone knew that Li Anyan's official position was equivalent to the level of a department official in later generations.
There were dozens of Central Army Generals in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Anyan's Central Army Generals seemed particularly valuable. The reason was very simple. He was responsible for the guards in the palace and could meet the emperor at any time. Such treatment was not available to ordinary Central Army Generals. Li Shimin trusted Li Anyan very much. He felt that Li Anyan could be loyal to Prince Yin when he was able to fight to death, and he would definitely fight to death for the current prince, so he "entrusted the prince Li Chengqian deeply."
Li Shimin entrusted Li Chengqian to Li Anyan. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Chengqian will become emperor in the future. Li Anyan will be the old master of Qiandi Xun, and will definitely be the pillar of the new dynasty.
But you would never have thought that after Li Anyan became Li Chengqian's person, he never thought of repaying Li Shimin's kindness for his kindness. Instead, he repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Shimin in front of Li Chengqian.
He even took the initiative to instigate Li Chengqian to rebel.
Why is this... Logically speaking, Li Shimin treated Li Anyan as kind as a mountain. Li Anyan was a person sent to the Eastern Palace by Li Shimin. He should monitor Li Chengqian for Li Shimin. Why did Li Anyan betray Li Shimin and join Li Chengqian's rebellion gang?
Actually... Li Anyan didn't know that he was a loyal minister or a loyal minister. In fact, Li Anyan never really defected to Li Shimin. After Li Jiancheng's death, he had to rely on Li Shimin in order to save his life. Li Shimin got Li Anyan's people, but he did not get Li Anyan's heart. Li Anyan joined Li Chengqian's rebellion gang to avenge Li Jiancheng.
For Li Anyan, if Li Chengqian's rebellion succeeds, Li Shimin will be dead. Even if he succeeds in avenging Li Jiancheng, even if Li Chengqian's rebellion fails, Li Shimin will have to depose Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian will be dead. In this way, Li Anyan can indirectly depose Li Shimin's eldest son, and can also allow Li Shimin to suffer the pain of losing his son, which can be regarded as indirectly avenging Li Jiancheng.
You said that Li Anyan is a loyal minister or not.
However, no matter whether he is or not, this guy should be eliminated for Li Zhan. A military officer actually said that he got the best poems, which is a strange thing in itself.
Li Chengqian still trusted others too much. This was the case with the rebellion at the beginning. Li Chengqian felt that with Hou Junji and Li Anyan's troops working together inside and outside, he should be sure of a successful mutiny, so he began to plan a mutiny in a intensive manner.
They planned to trick Li Shimin into the Eastern Palace and then kill Li Shimin. After killing Li Shimin, Li Chengqian ascended the throne and became emperor, and everything would be fine. Before Li Chengqian's plan was implemented, he was reported by Hegan Chengji, a guardian of the Eastern Palace.
Li Chengqian was deposed as the crown prince and died in the demotion site not long after. Li Anyan and Hou Junji were ordered to be executed by Li Shimin.
This is Li Chengqian’s biggest shortcoming. It is too easy to trust a person and have not won the other party’s heart. This is not good. Of course, it is also because of Li Chengqian’s personality that he trusts Li Zhan so much.
So everyone has their own experience.
"Brother...What's wrong with An Yan?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhan with a hint of worry.
At this time, Li Zhan smiled slightly and said, "No... OK... Let's go to Qujiang tomorrow to see if the Qujiang banquet is as you said, and talented men and talented women gather."
"Haha..." Hearing his elder brother agreed to his request, Li Chengqian immediately smiled and said, "Okay..."
"What are you doing now..." Li Zhan and Li Chengqian were walking on the cement road together. At this time, many craftsmen were working on the roadside.
Li Chengqian asked Li Zhan what he would do later.
Li Zhan said, "Let's go to the house I built for you first."
"Brother... Are you real or fake when you said that I was building my house as high as five floors?" When he heard that he was going to see his house, Li Chengqian was in a state of spirit.
"I won't lie to you. Now I have built three floors, and there will be no problem with the fifth floor. Now there is glass. If there is glass, I can turn your fifth floor into a transparent floor, which will be more beautiful. You can overlook the entire Dunhuafang and even Qujiang on the fifth floor."
"Ah...Brother...you said so beautifully, I can't wait." Li Chengqian laughed.
Li Zhan also smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely not disappoint you. Even without glass, I will make a terrace, and you can still look down at the entire Dunhua Building."
