Tian's related deeds

During Xian Tong's reign, Tian joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a eunuch with his adoptive father. At first, Tian's position was very humble. Later, he served as the ambassador of Xiaomafang, responsible for managing the good horses presented by the county officials to the emperor. However, Tian has read many books and is very wise. When he was Pu Wang, he had a good relationship with Tian. They often play together, Tian and Wang Pu sleep.

As soon as Tang Xizong ascended the throne, he promoted Tian as the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and Tian also jumped from a little eunuch to one of the four big noble. "Si Gui" refers to two envoys of the Tang Dynasty and two army lieutenants. Soon, Tian was promoted to be the assistant commander of the Shence Army, that is, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army. At the age of twelve, he entrusted Tian Lingzhi with the administration of state affairs, calling Tian "father", that is, adoptive father. Tian became the core figure of the ruling group at that time by virtue of his relationship with the new emperor and his military power.

Tian is in power. Whoever wants to be an official has to go through the back door, give him gifts and bribe him. Tian appoints officials or confers titles without reporting to the emperor. He can make his own decisions.

Tang Xizong rewarded musicians and geisha with the gold coins left by Zuo Zang and Qi Tian in Chang 'an treasury, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, resulting in the exhaustion of national use. Tian gave an idea to register the treasures of Chinese and foreign businessmen in Chang' an and send them all to the state treasury for the emperor to squander. If any businessman is dissatisfied, he complains to the government and is sent to Beijing to be beaten to death with a stick. Government officials below the Prime Minister are afraid to talk about it.

Tian's brother, Chen, had a low position at first, and used to be a teacher selling baked wheat cakes. When Cui Zhen was guarding Xuchang, Tian paid his respects to his brother. Military envoys are the posts in front of the town government of our time in the Tang Dynasty, holding military power and having great power. Cui won't allow it. Tian let his younger brother work in the left Shence Army. A few years later, he was promoted to general. In order to cultivate cronies, Tian arranged for his confidant to guard Sanchuan, which is Sichuan, and invited Chen Hezuo's generals Yang Shili, Niu Xu and Luo to visit Sanchuan. And Tang Xizong let four people hit the ball, bet on Sanchuan, and appointed the minister of his own government by gambling, making national politics a joke. Finally, Chen won the first prize, that is, he was appointed as our abandonment envoy to replace our abandonment envoy Cui. Yang Shili was appointed as our special envoy for abandonment, and Niu Xu was appointed as our special envoy for abandonment. When the news that Chen was appointed as our ambassador to Chengdu reached Chengdu, people were surprised and didn't know who Chen was. In the second year of Ganfu (875), after the uprising captured prisoners, Huang Chao, an outlaw, gathered thousands of people to respond, attacked various counties and cities, and overrun Shandong. Because of exorbitant taxes and levies, the oppressed and exploited people have defected to the rebels, and the ranks have rapidly expanded to tens of thousands. In July of this year, our Pinglu Division fought with Wang Xianzhi and was defeated by the army in Yizhou City. Wang Xianzhi escaped. Wei Song lied that Wang Xianzhi was dead. After the soldiers were disbanded, the counties broadcast that Wang Xianzhi finally died, and they attacked the counties as before. Pai Chang surrendered to Yang, the deputy supervisor, and was robbed on the way. Wei Song blundered and fought with Shang Junchang in the southwest of Yingzhou, and captured Shang Junchang.

Huang Chao led the rebels to the south of the Yangtze River and conquered Fuzhou and Guangzhou. In the sixth year of Ganfu (879), he invaded the north and attacked Saiyang. Liu Jurong led Tang Jun to defeat the rebels in Jingmen. Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao surrendered to the imperial court many times, but Tian Jinzi and Lu Xie were not allowed to contribute to Gao Pian. Tian, and Gao Pian, when we were in Jingnan, formed an indissoluble bond. They thought that Gao Pian was both civil and military and had the ability to destroy the Huang Chao Uprising Army, and the court also relied heavily on Gao Pian. At that time, Zhao Yi, Xuantong and Yiwu were all under the control of Tang Jun, and Tang Jun went to Huainan to encircle the rebels. Gao Pian, afraid that others would rob him of his credit, appealed to the court that the thieves were dying. Please send them all back and don't bother all the soldiers. However, Gao Pian fought a decisive battle with the insurgents, and General Zhang Lin died. Gao Pian did not dare to send troops, but only cared about self-protection, and began to play the court's own idea to resist. Gao Pian pretended to be ill and didn't go to war.

The Huang Chao Uprising Army is also on a roll, taking Luoyang, the eastern capital, and preparing to capture Chang 'an. Tang Xizong spoke out against the prime ministers. Tian took the archer of Shence Army to guard Tongguan and commanded and controlled the army himself. Tian Jinzi and Cui Ling also suggested taking refuge in Sichuan, because Tian Jinzi's younger brother Chen is our ambassador to Xichuan. Tang Xizong didn't want to be exiled. He asked Tian Jinzi to send troops to guard the border and appointed Tian Jinzi as the commander-in-chief of eight towns and various military forces inside and outside the Shence Army. In fact, Tian Jinzi did not lead his troops to Tongguan, but sent Zhang and Ma Jun, the generals of Zuo Shence Army, to lead 2,800 Shence Army crossbowmen to Tongguan.

The sergeants of Shence Army are all children of Chang 'an government officials. Finally, they hired poor people from Chang 'an Hospital to fight instead of themselves. These hired poor people can't even carry weapons, let alone fight. Huang Chao's army broke the Taoist temple and went straight to Chang 'an.

When Tian Jinzi heard that Huang Zhen had entered the customs, he was afraid that the emperor would blame himself, so he put all the blame on Lu Xie, demoted Lu Xie to be the guest and company of the Prince, and recommended Wang Hui and Pei Che as his partners. That night, Lu drank medicine and died.

Huang Chao's vanguard troops have entered Chang 'an. Tian Shuaijun's 500-person protection went in and out of Chang 'an through Jinguangmen. Only Axe King, Mu Wang, Wang Ze, Shou Wang and Ji Zhi are in the team, and all the officials in Aoting don't know. When Tang Xizong and others fled to Xianyang, a dozen cavalry shouted, "Huang Chao soldiers are getting rid of rape and waste for your majesty. Today, they are going west from Yu. What about the people in Guanzhong? " I hope your majesty can return to the palace. "Command field began to cavalry beheaded them, and let ride began to white horse, Mercedes to Locke's house day and night. In the second year of Guangming (88 1), Tang Xizong fled to Chengdu. As soon as Tian arrived in Chengdu, he was promoted to General Sargingo, and he was sentenced to Wei four times, making him a Duke of Jin. Yongnuozong was unhappy when he saw that Chengdu was narrow and ugly, not as good as Chang 'an. He often drinks with Shi Bin to relieve boredom. Tian took the opportunity to enlighten Xuanzong and let the courtiers shout "Long live". Only then did Tang Xizong feel a little happy. Tian said that Zheng Yi, Wang Duo, Cheng Zongchu, Li Ling, Chen and others, together with Qi Xin, will be able to wipe out the bandits, recover Chang 'an at an early date and end their fugitive career.

When he left Tang Xizong in a hurry and arrived in Chengdu, he gave the Shu army three yuan each. Tian also often rewarded the subordinate troops from Chang 'an, but no longer rewarded the Shu army, causing dissatisfaction among the Shu army. Tian gave a banquet in honor of the leaders of the Shu army and its subordinate armies, and was about to bring their generals ribs and give them a golden cup to drink. Just surprisingly, Huang Toujun made Guo Qi give up drinking. Say to Tian; "The general's monthly salary is more than enough, and it is often difficult to repay kindness and dare to be insatiable. It's just that the Shu army guards the imperial court, just like other troops. The reward of the Shu army is pitiful, and the Shu army is very resentful for fear of causing a mutiny. I hope that the military capacity can reduce the reward of the generals and give it to the Shu army, so that the local people can get the same treatment, and then the Shu army will be happy. " Tian Jinzi was silent for a while and asked, "What contribution have you made?"

Guo Qi said, "I grew up in Shandong, and I fought with the Tangut 17 times and the Khitan more than a dozen times. I was covered in Jin Chuang. I was injured when I conquered Tuyuhun, and my intestines flowed out. I went to war after sewing. " Tian Jinzi changed a cup for Guo Qi to drink. Guo Qi knew that Tian was going to poison herself, so she had to thank humbly and drink it. She went back to the barracks and killed a maid-in-waiting, sucked her blood to detoxify, and spit out several liters of black juice. Then she led her troops to revolt, burned it and began to rob shops. Tian protected himself from the East Side Rebellion, Chen sent troops to quell the rebellion, and Guo Qi fled.

After arriving in Chengdu, Tang Xizong stayed with eunuchs day and night to discuss how to recover Chang 'an and other state affairs, and paid special attention to court officials. Zuo Cong got advice from his paintings. He said: "When the country is stable, officials from far and near must be of one mind: today the country is very difficult, especially the middle officials (eunuchs) and officials from the DPRK should be integrated. Last winter, the driver was lucky in the west and didn't tell Nansi (a court official). As a result, most of the officials below the prime minister's servants were killed by Fu, but Beisi (eunuch) was safe and sound. The court officials who arrived here today risked their lives to come to Wan Li to worship your Majesty. Your majesty and court officials should share weal and woe. Last night, the Yellow Head Army made an insurrection. Your Majesty sealed the city with officials (eunuchs) such as Tian and Chen, and did not call courtiers below Wang Duo into the city. The next day, neither the prime minister nor the courtiers were summoned. I am in the position of trusting the official, and I still don't know whether the holy bow is safe; If the princes ignore your majesty, the crime will be punished. If your majesty has no sympathy for the princes, what is the reason? The world was created by Gaozu and Taizong, not the world monopolized by Beisi. The son of heaven is the son of heaven in Kyushu, not just the son of heaven in Beisi. Not all the people in the North Division are trustworthy, and not all the people in the South Division are useless. Isn't the son of heaven related to the prime minister? Are the son of heaven and courtiers like strangers who don't leave? In this way, it is difficult for Bo to recover Chang 'an, but vegetarians can rest assured. I am honored, and my duty is beneficial. The past is irreversible. I can't be fascinated by the future. "

Shu was detained by Tian, and Meng Zhaotu was demoted as a historian. He sent someone to drown Meng Zhaotu in Ran Yijin.

During the occupation of Chang 'an by Huang Chao's army, the eunuch Lu Zhizhong organized armed forces, hid in the rugged mountains outside the city, and often sneaked into Chang 'an to harass. Hearing that Tang Xizong was going back to Chang 'an, he said to people, "My one or two tricks (referring to sneaking into Chang 'an to harass) can make great contributions to the revival of Chang 'an. For believers, whatever I think can be done can go through three levels. " Tian was particularly jealous of this and ordered Li Ning to let Wang Xingyu get rid of it.

Officials are afraid to say anything about Tian's evil deeds.

In the third year of Zhonghe (883), Tang Jun joined forces with Li Keyong, the leader of Shatuo, to attack Chang 'an. Huang Chao Uprising Army failed and withdrew from Chang 'an.

Tian blamed the eunuchs for recovering Chang 'an and suppressing the uprising army in Huang Chao, saying that the eunuch Yang invited Li Keyong, the leader of Shatuo, to March into Chang 'an, and the capital was recovered. Think Wang Duo crusade against Huang Chao, long and ineffective. Wang Duo was demoted to a righteous man, and Cui was demoted to a vice-governor, staying in.

Tian was afraid that Yang's contribution would be too great and pose a threat to himself, so he deliberately reduced the reward for Yang. Exaggerated his own achievements, saying that he first suggested that Nuo Zongxing take refuge in Shu, collect and inherit the true meaning of national treasures and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and distribute his wealth to soldiers; He strategized and won thousands of miles, which played a decisive role in defending the Tang Dynasty, commanding the prime minister and the buffer region to reward themselves. Tian was appointed as the head of the 10 Army and the 12 Guard Corps.

Within the eunuch group, Yang's younger brother Yang had a conflict with Tian Chan. Yang died in the middle of the river, and Tian had no scruples. He immediately demoted Yang from the Tang Dynasty to the dragon ambassador.

Tian also tried to cultivate his own henchmen and rewarded Wang Jian,,,, and so on. And raise it as a fake child, each as commander in chief, and move the number with the driver in Wudu.

Since then, he has become more arrogant and forbidden Tian to be emperor. We can't decide anything, but we must follow Tian's instructions. More and more aware of Tian's authority, and he is just a puppet. In the first year of Guangqi (885), Tang Xizong returned to Chang 'an. Although the Huang Chao Uprising Army failed, the result of the Great Uprising was obvious, which completely disrupted the ruling order of the Tang Dynasty, and the situation of the separatist regime in the war was formed. Politically, the Tang dynasty has been unable to give orders; Economically, the buffer region has prepared a special rent tax, which will no longer be provided to Gu Ting. Tang can only supply financial expenditure according to the tax of Gyeonggi, Tong, Hua and Fengxiang. At this time of the Tang Dynasty, politically and economically. Only Lang is a small court. However, there are more than 10,000 eunuchs and courts in a whole set of government agencies moved back from Chengdu. Tian recruited 54 new troops in Shu, each with 1,000 people; And the five capitals of Jincon. There is a serious contradiction between the huge state machine and its fiscal revenue. The foot soldiers were dissatisfied because of the reduction in rewards. Tian was afraid of causing army rebellion, so he had to cut off the interests of the buffer region to solve the contradiction. As a result, there was a serious conflict between the buffer region and the court.

After Tang Xizong fled to Chengdu, the internal and external ministries lost their guard. Wang Chongrong occupied the river (now Shaanxi) as our time in the river, monopolized the interests of Anyi and Xie Xian salt ponds, and offered salt to the car for national use three times a year. Tian instructed to nationalize two kinds of salt crops and confiscate them for the benefit of the army. Wang Chongrong refused to hand over the salt pond and kept writing on the ground.

Tian sent his cronies to the place where our time was spent as the army supervisor, and kept a close watch. Anyone who did not obey our time was immediately dismissed. Tian's adopted son, Kuang You, was set in the river, and Wang Chongrong treated him very well, but Kuang You relied on Tian and was arrogant, which caused Wang Chongrong's anger. Wang Chongrong accused Tian of evil and called Kuang rude. When Kuang You came back, he suggested that Tian get rid of Wang Chongrong. Tian transferred Wang Chongrong to Taining for our time. Yu Chongrong thought that he had contributed to the recovery of Beijing, but Tian refused. He went to the table several times, saying that Tian alienated the monarch and his subjects, and listed Tian's top ten crimes. Tian colluded with Nening and Fengxiang to make Zhu Mei and Li Changfu jointly resist Wang Chongrong.

Wang Chongrong turned to Keyong Li for help. Li Keyong and Zhu Wen had contradictions, but the court did not distinguish right from wrong, and always reconciled them, so Li Keyong was dissatisfied with the court. At this time, Li Keyong was recruiting troops and joining forces with other ethnic minorities to attack Bianzhou, so he said to Wang Chongrong, "It's as simple as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves when I kill Zhu Wen first and then clean up the fields and other rats when I come back!" Wang Chongrong said, "When you come back from killing Zhu Wen, I'm afraid I'm already a prisoner."

At that time, Zhu Mei and Li Changfu also colluded with Zhu Wen in secret. Zhu Mei wanted to arouse the contradiction between the imperial court and Li Keyong, and urged the imperial court to send troops to crusade against Li Keyong. She sent people to sneak into Beijing many times, burned warehouses and assassinated guards, but she pretended to be sent by Li Keyong, which made the capital restless day and night and made people panic.

Tian sent Zhu Mei and Li Changfu to command the town, Yan, Yan, Ling, Xia and other town troops, and gathered in the sand garden to crusade against Wang Chongrong.

Li Keyong Shuaijun and Wang Chongrong teamed up to demand that Tian, Zhu Mei and Li Changfu be executed. The two sides were at war, and Zhu Mei and Li Changfu were defeated in this town. Defeated stragglers burned houses and robbed property everywhere. Li Keyong led his troops out of Chang 'an and went to Fengxiang overnight.

After all the soldiers entered Chang 'an, they burned and looted, and the offices and houses of Chang 'an 67/ 10 were burned. Chang 'an was severely damaged again after it was burned in Huang Chao. Li Keyong returned to the river after defeating Zhu Mei and Li Changfu, and Wang Chongrong once again requested to return to his post, pointing out the charges and demanding the killing of Tian. Tang Xizong reappointed Chang Fuguong as a Tang Dynasty envoy. Tian has lost his trust and is no longer favored. Tian wants to continue to control as a barrier to protect himself, so he wants Nuozong to escape to the apricot garden. No longer listen to Tian, refused to go to the apricot garden. That night, led the troops to Tian Wangfu, hijacked and fled to Baoji. Zhu Mei and Li Changfu felt sorry for Tian and were afraid of Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong, so they attached Li Keyong instead.

Most courtiers hate fields and don't want to go to Baoji, but want to take them back to the city. Zhu Mei and Li Changfu led the troops to attack Baoji, and Tian Sui fled to Hanzhong. In April of the second year of Guangqi (886), Zhu Mei, Li Changfu and Chao Guan established Wang Liyan as emperor. At this point, Tian has lost power and influence and is as poor as a church mouse. Knowing that he was no longer accepted by the world, he had to give way to Yang Fuguong, the eunuch who was appointed ambassador to give up, and went to Chengdu to take refuge in Chen Jingxian. His henchmen were expelled by Yang Fuguong. In March of the first year of Wende (888), Tang Xizong died of illness. Yang Fu's public Ye Li is the longevity king, that is, Emperor Tang Zhaozong. Yang Fuguong succeeded Tian as military ambassador and transferred Tian's adopted son Wang Jian to Bizhou Secretariat. Wang Jian captured Lizhou and served as the defense envoy, so he captured Langchang, Qionglai, Shu, Li and Ya. The imperial edict established Yongping Army in these places and appointed Wang Jianwei as our time.

Tian intends to unite with Wang Jian to resist the imperial court and wrote a letter calling on him. Wang Jian was very happy, but when he was about to leave, Tian turned him down again. Wang Jian was quite angry about this and then surrounded Chengdu. Tian boarded the city wall, apologized to Wang Jian and asked him why he besieged the city.

Wang Jian said that as long as Tian changed his plan and didn't confront the court, the father and son could still get along as before. Tian asked for an interview with Wang Jian, and Wang Jian agreed.

That evening, Tian handed it to Wang Jian who was carrying it. The next day, Wang Jian entered the city and shut Tian in Bijifang. Two years later, Tian and Chen Shuangshuang died on the same day. During the execution, Tian tore the silk book into strips, formed a thick rope, and handed it to the executioner, saying, "I used to be an ambassador of the Tenth Army. There are certain rules for killing me. " So I taught them how to strangle people with ropes. During the Ganning period, he was reinstated to his official position by a letter.
