Diary of a Prince Killer: I Taught the Prince in the Sui and Tang Dynasties

When others become imperial masters, they seek to follow the dragon's merits and gain glory from generation to generation; When Li Gang was the emperor's master, the first thing he did when he arrived at his post every day was to touch his neck to make sure his head was still there. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, he taught three princes: Yang Yong was deposed, Li Jiancheng died, and Li Chengqian rebelled. No one survived the overturn, and he was nicknamed "Prince Killer". But it happened to be this professional householder who served in the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties, from the fifth rank of Ximabo to the founding of the third division of Yitong. He spanned half a century of ups and downs in the court, died at the age of more than eighty, and became the only "life-saving living fossil" in the officialdom. Open this private diary that has been hidden for a lifetime, and you will find all the sexy operations that you cannot see in official history: The prince held a lavish banquet. He moved over the treasures all night long, turned around and locked three copies of his advice and advice at the bottom of the box, with the main message: "If you have given advice, you will have fulfilled your duty, but if you keep the copy, you will save your life"; Yang Guang came to the door to try to win over him, but he stood outside the threshold and answered without crossing the line. He turned around and wrote down the meeting note, for fear of getting into the muddy water of seizing his direct descendants. The sound of the massacre at Xuanwu Gate was loud. He closed the courtyard door at home and squatted in the vegetable garden to pick cucumbers. He pretended to be deaf and mute the whole time, and he did not get the slightest hint of the smell of rebellion; When Li Chengqian's rebellion was discovered, all the officials fell to the ground and trembled. He calmly took out the half-foot-high remonstrance manuscript and picked it off on the spot. From Daxing Palace to Chang'an City, four princes rose and fell, many powerful ministers were missing, and many of their subordinates were implicated in the genocide. Only Li Gang, carrying a box of manuscripts, managed to survive until the end. This is not an epic plot of imperial divisions, but a life-saving practical guide for King Gou, the No. 1 Official in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
