The famous ministers of the Tang Dynasty series-upright and upright, killing thieves to death, the iron frame clanking, clanking iron bones.

Wen Tianxiang listed the integrity of Zhang Xun (Zhang Xun) and Yan Changshan (Yan Gaoqing), two famous ministers in the Tang Dynasty, in the Song of Righteousness. After that, the sentence "still have to break the thief's head" is the protagonist of this article-the famous minister section in the middle Tang Dynasty. In fact, Wen Tianxiang is not the only one who admires Duan. Liu Zongyuan wrote a biography specifically for Duan Taiwei's anecdote. The book describes: "Taiwei is a human being, often lowers his head and hangs his hand, and his words are modest and powerless, and he never treats people with color; People regard it as Confucianism. " Duan means very modest. He often walks with his head down and his hands arched. His voice is so low that he never gives others a hard look. In everyone's eyes, he is a thorough Confucian. It is this Confucian scholar who speaks kindly and modestly in the eyes of others, but he used to be mean and strict in law enforcement until he killed the thief with his own body. It is his majestic personality strength that makes Liu Zongyuan and Wen Tianxiang heartache. Duan portrait 1. In the fourth year of Emperor Xuanzong Tianbao (745), Duan joined the army under the account of Meng Lingcha, our envoy in Anxi, and went to Anxi Prefecture to practice hard. In the seventh year of Tianbao (748), Gao Xianzhi was re-appointed as our ambassador to Anxi. In the tenth year of Tianbao (75 1), the Battle of Rollo broke out. Gao Xianzhi and his men, Anxi Tang Jun, were defeated by Heiliang (Abbasid Dynasty), and Li, the lieutenant, advised Gao Xianzhi to abandon the army and flee. When Duan heard this, he reprimanded him face to face and said, "It is not brave to run away from the enemy. "It is not kind to avoid being trapped in the crowd." He also told him that Tang Jun's new defeated army was unstable, and Luo Anhe Luo was far west, separated by the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu. If you abandon the army and flee, it will inevitably lead to the fall of Tang Jun, and even the general may not be able to get away. Only by reorganizing our army and retreating slowly can we save the lives of Tang Jun's foot soldiers. After being sprayed by Duan, Li was ashamed. In terms of rank, Duan is lower than Li, but he can speak from the perspective of the whole army, regardless of his own safety. In the 12th year of Tianbao (753), Feng Changqing succeeded Gao Xianzhi as our ambassador to Anxi. Duan went to Dabulo (Baltistan, Kashmir) with the army, and Tang Jun went to the old city of Bodhisattva (central Kashmir), and the vanguard troops won many battles. Under Feng Changqing's account, Tang generals were in high spirits and demanded to continue marching, but Duan, who stood by, frowned. He stepped forward, bowed and said, "General, there must be fraud. You must guard against it! " Around Tang will be a little reluctant to see someone come out to throw cold water on it. One of them said, "I have experienced many wars before you fought a few wars." Don't scare people here! Duan ignored him and said directly to Feng Changqing, "General, our army has traveled thousands of miles. Can we completely deceive Tubo?" Feng Changqing replied: "It's hard! """Was the fighting capacity of the Tibetan army so weak before?" ""no! Duan saw that he kept up with the train of thought and said decisively, "A thief and a weak soldier must be a trick to lure the enemy." If there is an emergency, please send an army to search the mountain forest. "Feng Changqing is a cautious man. After being awakened by a word, he immediately sent troops to search carefully. Sure enough, the Tubo ambush was found on both sides. Tang Jun took advantage of the Tubo army's unguarded attack, and the ambush of the Tubo army was exhausted. In this battle, Duan remained sober and calm in the cheerful atmosphere of the generals, escaped the ambush of Tang Jun, and was promoted as a surname of Suide. Second, in September of the 12th year of Dali (777), Duan was appointed as the secretariat of Jingzhou. This coincided with the second Buguhuai rebellion. Bai Xiaode, the striker of Pu Guhuai (now Binxian County, Shaanxi Province), turned to Guo Ziyi for help. He sent his son Guo with 10,000 people to help. At that time, Guo Ziyi was famous all over the world, serving as the deputy marshal of all the military forces in the world, and was named King Fenyang. Guo Wei made me collate the ministers, lead the camp, add it to the third division of the government, and seal Zhao Guogong. When Guo was stationed in Danzhou, he allowed soldiers to rob property at will, destroy utensils and kill pregnant women. Because of Guo Ziyi's power position, Bai Xiaode, our special envoy in Gaozhou at that time, dared not impeach his subordinates. Duan was very dissatisfied with this and took the initiative to find Bai Xiaode, requesting to be the Duke of Duyi, so as to make it illegal. Bai Xiaode was worried about this matter, and when Duan volunteered, he quickly threw the pot to him. One day, our soldiers were drinking in the city and had an argument with the restaurant. Guo's soldiers suddenly stabbed the old man selling wine and destroyed the wine utensils and the door of the shop. Duan arrested all the 17 sergeants who made trouble, beheaded them in the street, hung their heads on poles for public display, and the people cheered and thundered. Guo's foot soldiers were extremely dissatisfied, and a battalion of foot soldiers were all armored and clamoring for trouble. Bai Xiaode was frightened, so he called Duan and asked, "If things get too serious, how can we end up?" Duan answered, "This matter started with me, and I will solve it myself. With that, he took off his sabre and ordered the lame old soldier to lead the horse and go into Guo Zhai alone. "。 When Guo's soldiers saw Duan coming, they went out to kill him for revenge. "Smiled," kill an old soldier, why so many Jia Bing? Am I mindless? " (When one person leaves, Shi Xiu enters with a smile, saying, "Kill an old soldier, how can Jia! I wear my head. " For your time. ) the foot soldiers see it and don't know what to do. Duan took the opportunity to say, "Is Guo Shangshu (Guo) sorry for you? Deputy Sheriff (Guo Ziyi): Did you feel sorry? Why use riots to discredit the Guo family? Tell Guo Shangshu for me and ask him to come out and listen to me. " (Because Xiao Zhi said: "If the ministers are evil, if the deputy marshal is evil? Why do you want to beat the Guo family with chaos! " ) At this point, Guo hurried here. Duan calmly said to him: "The deputy marshal has made great contributions to the world, which should be a good start and a good end." Today, your Excellency indulges his men and does evil at will. Doing so will inevitably lead to chaos and affect national stability. The emperor investigated this and punished the deputy marshal. The chaos started with your Excellency. People will say that you rely on the deputy bailiff and don't obey the law. Once your father's reputation was destroyed, disaster came. Before Duan finished, Guo bowed down and said, "It's very kind of you to tell me the truth. I will restrain my foot soldiers and listen to your teachings. " Then, he turned to the soldiers around him and shouted, "If you don't understand armor, go back to camp and dare to kill the troublemaker!" Duan said to Guo, "I haven't eaten yet!" "Hurry to prepare meals, such as guo dally finished eating. He said to Guo, "No, I'm sick. Let's stay in the camp tonight! " ! "Guo afraid foot soldiers to assassinate him, clothes don't understand armour, in the night. The next morning, they went to Bai Xiaode, Guo apologized and went to Yi Zhou Sui 'an. (Qiu said: "I haven't eaten it, so I have straw for leave." "After eating, I said," I am sick and would like to stay at the door. "Life belongs to the horse, Dan day. Lying in the army. I don't know clothes, and I don't want to wait for the pawn to beat Wei Wei. Dan, everything is filial. Thank you. You can't. Please change. The country is harmless. ) Terrain III of Zhangzhou. In the first year of Jian Zhong (780), Prime Minister Yang Yan wanted to carry out the plan of Zai Yuan, build Yuanzhou City and excavate Lingyang Canal. Duan wrote to the imperial court that it was not appropriate to levy labor in the busy spring, and requested to wait until the slack season. Yang Yan thought he was an obstacle, so he transferred Duan Shi Xiu to North Korea as the Minister of Agriculture and deprived him of his military power. Soon, there was a mutiny in Jingyuan, and Dezong called the Sixth Army of Ce Shen, but no one came to save it. " At that time, because there were few imperial troops in Chang 'an, Duan could not meet the unexpected demand. He suggested that Dezong said, "In ancient times, emperors rode thousands of chariots, governors rode thousands of chariots, and doctors rode hundreds of chariots, with the big controlling the small and forcing the weak. Nowadays, the forbidden soldiers are not refined, and the number is small, which has become an elbow socket and an armpit. What will they do? The tiger is a pawn that all animals are afraid of. If you get rid of your minions, you can become the enemy. I am willing to stay a little less worried, I hope in case. " ("Forbidden soldiers are few and weak") But unfortunately, Dezong didn't listen, on the grounds that the troops in Guanzhong were insufficient and it was difficult to raise soldiers. This time, Yuan Jing's army invaded Chang 'an, and Shi Li, who was at a loss, had to flee to Mukden for refuge. After the disorderly army ransacked the official library, Zhu Qiu, who was imprisoned in Chang 'an because of his brother's rebellion, was invited out and held the throne in his hand. Because Duan was also excluded by others, Zhu thought they had a common language, so he sent someone to summon him. However, Duan Shi Xiu closed the door of the house and refused to obey the fake decree. The army jumped over the wall and seized it. Duan Shi Xiu estimated that he was not spared. He turned to his children and shouted, "The country is in trouble. Where can I hide?" You should die for your country, so live your own life. "("the country is in trouble, why should we avoid it? We should die for our country; You grass people live for yourself. " Juba was very happy to see Duan Shi Xiu coming, and said, "Duan Gong is here, and I will help." Ask him how to get rid of Tang Jun's expansion. Duan bluntly said: "Miyamoto Su is famous for his loyalty and righteousness, and now the army is in trouble because of uneven rewards and punishments." It is a great achievement that the people gave the soldiers an order to welcome the return of the holy driving. Zhu Ba was silent and thought, "Welcome back to Shili. Why am I still a bird?" ! "But the popularity of Duan in Jingyuan army is too high. Although he was unhappy, there was nothing he could do. The position relationship between Fengtian and Chang 'an At this time, Zhu sent 3,000 elite to Fengtian, claiming to welcome the emperor back to Beijing, but actually preparing to launch a surprise attack. Duan immediately forged a written pledge to fulfill a military order, sent people to catch up with the urgent March, and ordered them to transfer troops immediately. Duan also knows that once the troops come back, the truth will come out. He secretly contacted General Zuo, He He and Kong Qi and others, looking for opportunities to get rid of Zhu Ba. At the right moment, Zhu called to discuss the emperor's name and year number. Duan couldn't bear it. He flew into a rage, grabbed the ivory boat from others, stepped forward, spat in Zhu's face and said, "Crazy thief! I wish I could cut you to pieces, or get rid of evil with you! " Say that finish, with ivory water board slam Zhu Hui, in the middle of the forehead, blood spilled all over the floor. Both sides were stupid, consulted and fled in fear of chaos, but failed to save Duan and kill the thief. Zhu Ba was able to get away, and Governor Duan was finished. He shouted left and right: "I don't want to resist you, why don't you kill me!" " "Guard like a dream wake up, drew his sword. Zhu covered her head, bleeding profusely, and stretched out a hand to stop her from killing an upright person. ""Unfortunately, Duan was stabbed several times and fell in a pool of blood at the age of 65. After Duan's death, Zhu lay beside him and wept bitterly, and was buried with three official ceremonies. Hearing the news that Duan was killed in Fengtian, he hated himself for not listening to advice and shed tears. Posthumous title autumn, and built a temple for Duan. Since Zhenyuan period (785-805), Duan must be the first person to forgive books and praise loyalty. In Mr. Cai Dongfan's poem, he said, "Fight hard to repay your kindness, and I am sorry for your loss, and I will not rest until I die." . "Explain the historical details, sort out the ins and outs, and look at the history of China from different angles! Welcome to pay attention to Tibetan reading of white wool cloth! "
