Sogdian and Chinese men of the Tang Dynasty 618-907 CE

Despite the An Lushan revolt probably primarily consisting of populations physically similar to modern-day East Asians, as shown by the leadership overwhelmingly of Kumo Xi and Turkic ancestry, Caucasoid populations such as the Sogdians were targeted for their foreign appearance. The butchers actually seem to have been initially on the Turkic side and were defectors who switched sides to join the Tang Chinese side later. Tian Shengong was initially a supporter of the Turkic rebellion but defected to China later, he was the leader behind the Yangzhou Massacre of 760.

Gao Juren was the leader behind the ethnic cleansing of Sogdians in Fanyang and Youzhou. He initially supported the Turkic rebellion and appears to have been of Goguryeo origins (one source said he came from present day North Korea precisely) but defected to China later. Gao Juren was killed a short time after this: "The former Yan rebel general Gao Juren of Goguryeo descent ordered a mass slaughter of West Asian (Central Asian) Sogdians in Fanyang, also known as Jicheng (Beijing), in Youzhou identifying them through their big noses and lances were used to impale their children when he rebelled against the rebel Yan emperor Shi Chaoyi. High nosed Sogdians were slaughtered in Youzhou in 761. Youzhou had Linzhou, another "protected" prefecture attached to it, and Sogdians lived there in great numbers. Because Gao Juren, like Tian Shengong wanted to defect to the Tang dynasty and wanted them to publicly recognize and acknowledge him as a regional warlord and offered the slaughter of the Central Asian Hu "barbarians" as a blood sacrifice for the Tang court to acknowledge his allegiance without him giving up territory, according to the book, "History of An Lushan" (安祿山史記). (taken from Wikipedia)

From Medium:

"Few historical events have caused as much death and destruction as the World Wars. The An Lushan rebellion was one of them. The An Lushan revolt, also called the An-Shi rebellion, occurred in China from 755 to 763 AD. It was one of the bloodiest wars in human history. In 754, 52 million people lived in China, but after the war, that number dropped to 16.3 million in 764.

You may wonder if a fight in the eighth century killed as many people as the First World War.

If Chinese censuses are to be trusted, the answer is yes. Steven Pinker, a rationalist thinker, called the disaster “the biggest atrocity in history,” since it wiped away one-sixth of humanity.

Historians are divided about the death toll. Many of the deaths happened during the period because the empire was in chaos. Some experts suggest people leaving Tang China and taking refuge in neighboring regions caused the drop in population.

At Fanyangn, the Tang general Gao Jure killed all the Sogdians, even the children. He distinguished them by recognizing them by their eyes and noses. This is one of the earliest documented cases of ethnic cleansing in history, in which the rulers targeted citizens based on their ethnicity.

Tang forces slaughtered thousands of Persian and Arab merchants during the Yangzhou massacre (760) on the suspicion of assisting the rebels.

In Chinese society, the trust had completely broken down.

One of the worst tragedies happened in the city of Suiyang. After a brutal siege by the Yan forces, the Tang defenders ran out of food. The Tang soldiers, however, refused to submit. Zhang Xun, the general defending the city, murdered his concubine in front of his men and fed her to them. The troops cried, but when commanded by the general, they ate the poor woman.

Cannibalism was rampant during the siege of Suiyang. People began devouring the dead, and families began exchanging their children for food. The soldiers soon started eating the old women and then turned on young women and men of all age groups. Estimates suggest that 20,000 to 30,000 people were eaten. Yet, the Tang army refused to submit.

The number of people who died during the An Lushan rebellion could have been anywhere from 13 million to 36 million. It is easy to argue that the civil war was one of the most catastrophic disasters in human history."

“Aquellos que comprenden la esencia de la mente, no importa donde se encuentren, están siempre felices y cómodos”

Hui-neng

Dajian Hui-neng fue un monje chino nacido en el año 638 en la hoy República popular china; fue uno de los monjes mas influyentes de la Escuela Zen china y Zen en general

Según su propia autobiografía, su padre era de Fanyang y fue desterrado de su cargo en el gobierno falleciendo a edad temprana, por lo que Hui-neng y su madre vivieron en la pobreza y se mudaron a Nanhai, en donde Huineng vendía leña para mantener a su familia.

Se dice que al escuchar Hui-neng recitar a uno de sus clientes el denominado Sutra del Diamante, por primera vez su mente se abrió y entendió. El cliente le recomendó visitar el monasterio de meditación oriental en el distrito de Huangmei en donde vivía e impartía enseñanzas el Quinto patriarca del Zen.

Treinta días después solicitó al Quinto patriarca alcanzar la budeidad. Hongreng, el quinto patriarca del Chang al notar que procedía de una region diferente a la de los chinos del norte locales, dudó de su capacidad llamándolo “bárbaro del sur” sin embargo al explicar Hui-neng su clara comprensión de la omnipresente naturaleza del Buda, quedó impresionado adoptándolo como uno de sus discípulos.

Con el tiempo Hui-neng logró convertirse en sucesor de Hongreng como sexto patriarca del Zen, en lugar del sucesor y discípulo mas avanzado de Hongreng Shenxiu.

Después de haberle ganado al monje principal de la comunidad, Huineng se vio obligado a huir de la persecución de los envidiosos elitistas del linaje del norte desapareciendo en las montañas, y regresando años después y surgiendo como uno de los grandes maestros Zen y de los mas populares entre todas las clases sociales.

Según la histografía moderna, Hui-neng fue una figura marginal y oscura. La erudición moderna ha cuestionado su santidad, y algunos investigadores especulan que la historia fue creada a mediados del siglo VIII en 731 por Shenhui quien supuestamente fue sucesor de Hui-neng.

Según los investigadores Schlütter y Teiser, la biografía de Hui-neng explicada en el Sutra de la plataforma, es una convincente leyenda de un laico analfabeto “bárbaro” que se convirtió en patriarca del Budismo Zen. 

La mayor parte de lo que se sabe sobre Hui-neng esta contenido en el Sutra de la Plataforma, que es un relato de una charla publica que contiene una biografía de un santo que es retratado como un héroe, que sirvió para dar autoridad a las enseñanzas de Huineng.

El sutra se convirtió en un texto muy popular y se dice fue modificado a lo largo de los siglos producto de los conflictos surgidos para reclamar la autoridad sobre el budismo Zen por parte del sucesor de Hui-neng Shenhui y por el discípulo preferido de Hongreng Shenxiu, quien por ser del linaje del norte, reclamaba para si el budismo Zen que enseñaba la iluminación gradual.

La postura fundamental de Hui-neng es que la iluminación puede darse en cualquier lugar, contexto o circunstancia pues no es nuestro ego el que alcanza algo, sino que es un descubrimiento de la naturaleza pura y perfecta que siempre ha estado ahi, por lo que la iluminación simple y llanamente ocurre, es un suceso absolutamente libre.

Según Hui_neng, Si la mente es por naturaleza pura y no posee partes o divisiones, el desarrollo gradual y sistemático preconizado por las otras corrientes budistas no es mas que una redundancia. La iluminación es un reconocimiento súbito e inmediato.

Al pronunciar esta doctrina radical de la iluminación, Hui-neng creó un gran sisma entre su escuela del sur y la escuela del norte liderada por Shenxiu quien había abogado por la iluminación gradual.

Hui-neng muere en el año 713 y su epitafio fue escrito por el poeta chino Wang Wei.

The Filial and Dedicated King of Donghai, Yue. Part 1 (JS059)

The Filial and Dedicated [xiaoxian] King of Donghai, Yue, courtesy name Yuanchao, was the second son of the King of Gaomi, Tai. As young he had an impressive reputation, [but] modest and unassuming in commitment to grasping cloth clothes, he became revered within and outside. At first, as Heir he became Chief Commandant of Cavalry. He, the Chief Commandant of Appended Horse, Yang Miao, and the King of Langye, Zhou's son Yao together attended discussions in the Eastern Palace. He was designated Cavalier Attendant Gentleman, and successively became General of Guards of the Left, and in addition Attendant-at-Centre. He had merit in chastising Yang Jun, and was ennobled a five thousand households Marquis. He moved to Cavalier Regular Attendant, General who Assists the State, and Archer-Servant of the Right to the Masters of Writing, acting as General who Roams and Strikes. Then he became Attendant-at-Centre and in addition Chief Commandant of Offered Chariots, and was provided with fifty mild and trustworthy people, and separately ennobled King of Donghai with revenue of six counties. Beginning of the Yongkang era [300 – 301], he became Prefect of the Central Writers, transferred to Attendant-at-Centre, and moved to Minister of Works, acting as Overseer of the Central Writers.

The King of Chengdu, Ying, attacked the King of Changsha, Ai. Ai firmly defend Luoyang. The various generals Within the Halls and the Marshals of the Three Sections were exhausted from the battles and defending. They, together with the General of Guards of the Left, Zhu Mo, covertly restrained Ai in a detached department, pressured Yue to be their leader, and put forward to Emperor Hui to remove Ai from office. The affair settled, Yue claimed illness to yield his position. The Emperor did not allow it, and he was promoted to Interim Prefect of the Masters of Writing.

Beginning of Taian [302 – 303], the Emperor went on a northern campaign against Ye, and used Yue as Great Chief Controller. The Six Armies were defeated and Yue ran to xiapi. The Chief Controller of Xu province, the King of Dongping, Mao, would not admit him, and Yue went straight back to Donghai. The King of Chengdu, Ying, since Yue and his brothers were the finest of the imperial house, sent down a large-minded order to summon him, but Yue did not respond to the instructions.

The Emperor went west to favour. He used Yue as Grand Tutor, to, in a pair with the Grand Steward, Yong, assist the court's government. He declined and did not accept. The Central Commandant of Donghai, Liu Qia, urged Yue to issue out troops to prepare against Yong. Yue used Qia as Marshal of the Left and Master of Writing Cao Fu as Army Minister. Then he raised troops and Mao became afraid. He therefore used the province to join with Yue. Yue as Minister of Works acted as Chief Controller of Xu province, and used Mao to act as Inspector of Yan province.

Yue's three brothers were all in possession of regions and trusted with campaigns and offensives, and on their own selected Inspectors, wardens, and chancellors. Many gentlemen of the court came to Yue. And yet the King of Hejian, Yong, held close the Son of Heaven and issued out decrees to dismiss Yue and others, and they were all ordered to go to their states. Yue proclaimed he was righteously offering to welcome the Great Carriage to return back again to the old capital. He led 30 000 armoured soldiers and went west to stay at Xiao county.

The Inspector of Yu province, Liu Qiao, did not accept Yue's instructions. He dispatched his son You to resist him, and Yue's army was defeated. The King of Fanyang, Xiao, dispatched Controller-Protector Tian Hui with 800 charging cavalry to welcome Yue. They encountered You at Qiao, and You's multitudes scattered. Yue advanced to station at Yangwu. East of the Mountains the troops flourished, and Within the Passes they were greatly afraid. Yong cut off and sent Zhang Fang's head to seek peace, but soon after changed plans to resist Yue. Yue led the feudal lords and Xufuli and Jucisuigui of the Xianbei and others with infantry and cavalry to welcome Emperor Hui to return back to Luoyang. A decree used Yue as Grand Tutor to Record the Masters of Writings, with Xiapi and Jiyang commanderies added to his fief.

When Emperor Huai was enthroned, he entrusted the government to Yue. The Gentleman of the Personnel Section, Zhou Mu, was the King of Qinghe, Tan's maternal uncle and the son of Yue's paternal aunt. He and his younger sister's husband Zhuge Mei together advised Yue, saying:

That the Lord Sovereign became Brother-Heir was Zhang Fang's idea. The King of Qinghe was originally Heir-Apparent, but was deposed by the crowd of criminals. At the Previous Emperor's sudden collapse, many suspected the Eastern Palace. Your Excellency, why not think of the enterprise of Yi and Huo, and so soothe the altars of soil and grain?

Their speech was not yet finished, when Yue said:

How is this proper to talk about!

Thereupon he shouted to left and right to behead them. Since Mei and Mu belonged to old families, and their crimes stopped at their persons, he following that, petitioned to remove the law of Three Kindred.

[Yi Yin and Huo Guang were ministers famous for removing unfit rulers]

The Emperor started to personally take charge of the ten thousand circumstances, and kept in his heart the numerous affairs. Yue was not pleased, and sought to set out for his fiefdom. The Emperor did not allow it. Yue thereupon set out to garrison Xuchang.

Beginning of Yongjia [in 307 AD], he went from Xuchang to lead Gou Xi and the Inspector of Ji province, Ding Shao, to chastise Ji Sang, and routed him. Yue turned back to Xu. Senior Clerk Pan Tao advised him, saying:

Yan province is Under Heaven's pivot and midpoint. Your Excellency ought to shepherd it yourself.

When he moved Gou Xi to be Inspector of Qing province, this caused a crack between him and Xi.

Soon after a decree made Yue Imperial Chancellor, to act as Shepherd if Yan province and Controller for the Six Provinces of Yan, Yu, Si, Ji, You, and Bing. Yue declined Imperial Chancellor and did not accept, and moved from Xu to Juancheng. Yue feared the King of Qinghe, Tan, in the end would become the successor. He fabricated a decree to restrain and turn him over to Jinyongcheng, and soon after murdered him.

Wang Mi entered Xu. Yue dispatched the Marshal of the Left, Wang Bin, to lead 5 000 armoured soldiers to guard the Imperial Capital. Juancheng was itself a ruin, and Yue loathed it. He changed to station at Puyang, and then again moved Xingyang.

He summoned Tian Zhen and others, six leaders. Zhen did not accept the instructions, and Yue dispatched the Army Overseer Liu Wang to chastise Zhen. Earlier, when the Duke of Dongyin, Teng, had garrisoned Ye, he had pulled along the Bing province generals Tian Zhen, Zhen's younger brother Lan, Ren Zhi, Qi Ji, Li Yun, Bo Sheng, and others, with their divisions, more than ten thousand people, to arrive at Ye. He dispatched them to go and find grain in Ji province, titling them “Beg to Live”. When Teng was defeated, Zhen and others intercepted and routed Ji Sang at Chiqiao, and Yue used Zhen as Ji commandery, and Lan as Grand Warden of Julu. Zhen sought Wei commandery but Yue did not allow it. Zhen was furious and for that reason did not arrive at the summons. When Wang had crossed the He, Zhen withdrew. Li Yun and Bo Sheng beheaded Tian Lan, and led their multitudes to surrender. Zhen, Zhi, and Ji abandoned their armies and ran to Shangdang.

Yue returned from Xingyang to Luoyang and used the Great School as his headquarters. He suspected the court officials of disloyalty to himself, and therefore falsely accused the Emperor's maternal uncle Wang Yan and others of making chaos. He dispatched Wang Jing to lead 3 000 armoured soldiers to enter the palace and restrain Yan and others. He turned them over to the Commandant of Justice and killed them.

Yue let go of Shepherd of Yan province, and acted as Minister over the Masses. Yue already had formed a grudge with Gou Xi, and also considered that off the affairs that had risen recently, many were caused by the throne-hall departments. He therefore petitioned for those among the lodged guards who held feudal rank as marquis be dismissed. At the time military officials within the throne-hall had all been ennobled as marquises, and because of that, those sent out were roughly everyone, all cried and wept, and departed. He then used the state of Donghai's General of the Upper Army, He Lun, as General of Guards of the Right, and Wang Jing as General of Guards of the Left, to lead several hundred state troops as the lodged guard.

The new bodyguard sent to Jusetsu, the eunuch Tan Kai, was somewhat different from who she had imagined.

“Ei Sei said he’s good match for you, so I assumed that he would be a quiet and obedient person.”

In response to Jusetsu’s words, Onkei, with a very serious expression, said, “This is Attendant Ei’s harassment.”

“Harassment? Towards me?”

“No, towards me.”

Jusetsu stared at Onkei. “…Do you not get along with Tan Kai?”

“I do not like him.” His tone was so flat and decisive that it was bracing, but he added, “But in regards to the mission of guarding you, we can indeed compensate for each other’s deficiencies.”

“And by that, you mean…”

“Tan Kai is good at archery, and I am good at martial arts.”

“I see, so close range and long range. ——Ah, could it be that Tan Kai was the one who shot the arrow when I was attacked by Shougetsu?”

Onkei nodded. “He was the one who shot Shougetsu’s shoulder.”

Indeed. As one would expect from someone recommended by Ei Sei, he seemed to be skilled.

However.

“Lady Raven Consort, Kougyou has peeled some pears for you.”

Tan Kai came into the room with a bowl of pears in his hand. He was holding an unpeeled pear in his other hand and biting into it as they watched. He was a young man who was a little taller than Onkei, with a somewhat refined face and alluring almond-shaped eyes. But he was as carefree as the wind and too unfettered like a feral child.

“Tan Kai,” Onkei’s voice was sharp and cold. “Know your place.”

“Whoa, your reprimands got shorter.”

“We’re in Niangniang’s presence. I’ll tell you every single thing you did wrong in detail later.”

“I can’t remember each and every one of them, you know.”

He seemed to be aware that his manners were so poor that he couldn’t remember all his missteps.

Jusetsu didn’t care about etiquette at all, but she wondered how he survived in the inner palace with that personality of his.

“I’ll just say one thing for now. Don’t hold the bowl with one hand.”

“That’s all?”

“If you hold the bowl with both hands, you won’t be able to hold a pear and eat it.”

“Haha, I see,” after saying that in a completely unimpressed tone, Tan Kai put the bowl on the table. “Shall I call Ishiha as well? He’s outside playing with Xingxing.”

Jusetsu nodded at Tan Kai’s words. He grinned and left the room. I feel like I somewhat understand why he was able to survive in the inner palace with those manners of his. He had an amiability that couldn’t be hated, and an allure that drew people to him.

“I sincerely apologize for him, Niangniang,” Onkei was already fed-up just from this exchange. “I mind it not,” Jusetsu answered. In fact, she really didn’t mind.

Tan Kai brought in Ishiha, who was holding Xingxing. Everyone ate the pears, including Jiujiu and the rest. Yamei Palace had become even livelier with the addition of Tan Kai. The austere and frightening atmosphere of the palace where the Raven Consort lived was completely erased during the daytime.

No, it’s not quiet at night here either.

“Lady Raven Consort, you had guests last night as well, right?” Tan Kai said, leaning against the door and biting into a pear.

“Yes…” Jusetsu popped a piece of pear into her mouth and nodded. The well-chilled pears were full of moisture and made one feel revitalized when eaten in the hot and humid weather.

“With such frequent nighttime visitors, it’s impossible for a single guard to protect you. It was right to add me.”

“No, I don’t expect those kinds of risks…”

More and more people were visiting Yamei Palace.

“My neck has been feeling stiff lately. Is this a curse from someone?”

“My younger sister has received a marriage proposal. Could you tell whether or not it’s a good match?”

“Is there any charm that works for love?”

Those were the only types of visitors she received. She understood that they were all in a predicament, but why did they keep swarming to her?

“I heard that you heard a request from a Hakkaku Palace attendant the other day, Niangniang,” Jiujiu said after leisurely chewing a pear. “And, you also consoled a palace lady. Before, you went to Hien Palace and interacted with Hua Niangniang, so you’re gradually seeming less and less like a mysterious and fearsome consort. People are starting to realize that you’re a kind person, Niangniang.”

Jiujiu smiled happily.

Jusetsu had weakened. How did things become like this? The choices that had been made one by one, had now piled up and changed the world around her.

That’s why I can’t forgive myself for a single one of them.

She had placed an attendant by her side, she had helped a eunuch, she had received gifts. She had made those choices while knowing that they were wrong.

An unexplainable frustration burned in her chest. This wasn’t right. It couldn’t be.

But then, where should she start to make things right? It was no longer possible to let go of everything and be alone.

“I wonder if it would be better to increase the number of attendants if things are going to be like this. But I’d just hate it if there are too many attendants here,” Jiujiu murmured. Jusetsu turned her gaze to her, and she ducked her head in embarrassment. “Because I’ll get jealous.”

“Jealous…?”

“Niangniang is a kind person, so I’m sure you’ll also treasure your other attendants.”

Jusetsu tilted her head in consideration, then said, “You’re the only attendant I need.”

“Really?” Jiujiu seemed happy. Is it really something to be so delighted about, Jusetsu wondered.

“The Lady Raven Consort doesn’t seem to know what jealousy is,” Tan Kai said. When Jusetsu turned to him, he narrowed his eyes into a smile. Tan Kai always had an easygoing smile affixed to his face.

“If you’re talking about knowing it personally, then I most probably don’t know.”

Tan Kai nodded, still with a faint smile on his face. Onkei, who was wiping Ishiha’s hands, kept glancing at him. He seemed to be worried that he would say something insolent again.

“I’m sure you’ll learn about it in the future.”

It sounded like a prophecy. Jusetsu peered at Tan Kai’s face. One type of divination was to divine one’s own destiny from the casual conversation of others. For instance, if you heard the word “death,” it meant that you were about to die. Tan Kai’s words just now, which he himself might have said without any deeper meaning, had quietly crept into Jusetsu’s heart and sunk to the bottom.

“That reminds me, have you heard of this rumor?” Tan Kai’s voice was strangely cheerful, as if switching the atmosphere of the room. “There’s a rumor I heard at the rokuboushi the other day, about a ghost haunting the inner court.”

This wasn’t the type of story to be told in a cheerful tone. Jiujiu frowned in displeasure. Tan Kai continued to chatter on, disregarding her.

“Apparently, late at night, the ghost of an elderly drudge wanders around.”

Elderly drudge? Ishiha whispered in confusion, and Tan Kai grinned. “It means an old servant,” he explained.

“He doesn’t seem to be a eunuch. From the shape of his cap to his attire, he seems to be someone from a very long time ago. He totters around with his back bent—like this, see—and his clothes are tattered. He’s holding a small vessel with both hands as he drags his feet.”

What a pitiful tale, he said.

“This ghost took up residence in the inner court?”

“This is a rumor that’s only being talked about recently. I heard about it the first time the other day.”

“Why is a ghost from so long ago wandering about?”

“I wouldn’t know. Well, it’s just a rumor. We don’t even know if it’s true or not.”

“Don’t you know someone who actually saw him?”

“I don’t know anyone,” Tan Kai said easily. “It’s related to the inner court. I work in the inner palace, so I wouldn’t know anything.”

The inner court was the residence of the emperor, and the inner palace was the residence of the consorts. Each had their own eunuchs.

Jusetsu sighed. “There are plenty such stories of uncertain authenticity here. I’m tired of hearing them.”

“No, no, trivial rumors are still important, Lady Raven Consort. Rumors are clusters of information. They are places where you can find fragments of unexpected secrets. To play your cards well, you have to have sharp ears.”

“I see. So that’s how you’ve managed to stay safe all this time.”

Tan Kai smiled affably.

“I’m here to be useful to you. If there’s information you desire, I will get it for you.”

“I don’t particularly need information about others here. There’s no need for you to useful,” Jusetsu said, then added, “Don’t do anything dangerous.”

“Haa,” Tan Kai blinked as though let down. “Lady Raven Consort, you’re kind of…”

He scratched his ear in confusion, as though she was different from what he was used to.

“She’s very kind,” Jiujiu interjected.

“She’s kind, or rather, she’s too soft.”

“Hey!” the corners of Jiujiu’s eyes raised.

“It’s my job to cross dangerous bridges, so this is the first time someone’s telling me not to do anything dangerous.”

Tan Kai looked at Jusetsu with narrowed eyes as if he was trying to guess what she was thinking, but then he suddenly cracked a smile. He glanced at Onkei, then turned his attention back to Jusetsu.

“Understood, Niangniang. I won’t get involved in anything dangerous. But, if you’re ever in danger, I will do my utmost. I will repay you for your concern for my well being.”

As Jusetsu had only known him for a short time, she couldn’t tell how serious his words were. But, she decided to take them at face value. “Mm,” she nodded. The affable expression returned to Tan Kai’s face.

“Although, Niangniang. It might be unwise to have the carefree attitude that you don’t need to know what’s going on around you. It might have been fine until now, but from now on…”

“Why?”

“Because the Raven Consort is no longer the Raven Consort she’s always been. You are no longer the mysterious consort isolated deep in the depths of the inner palace. You are intimate friends with Dajia. That’s problematic. It’s very problematic.”

She had also been lectured frequently by the previous Winter Minister, Gyoei, to not close to him.

“Reason?” Her question was curt.

“Secretariat Un is impatient. He’s the prime minister. His granddaughter is the Duck Consort, Lady Kajou. Secretariat Un’s ‘ears’ are planted within the inner palace. He bribes palace ladies and eunuchs to obtain information. He is puzzled by the fact that the Rave Consort, who had been completely disregarded until now, had suddenly started interacting with Dajia. At any rate, there’s not much information on you. He’s frantically trying to find out just who the Raven Consort is and how close she is to Dajia.”

“…He would know that we don’t have the kind of relationship to be frantic about once he investigates.”

“I wonder about that. Since you are a consort who doesn’t perform night duties, it’s true that there wouldn’t be any danger of an heir being born. However, depending on the situation, that might be more troublesome.”

Why? Jusetsu frowned.

“Producing heirs is the emperor’s duty, so Dajia takes good care of his consorts. But your relationship with him doesn’t fit within that framework. And yet, he’s always visiting you——”

“…He is not the kind of man who is kind to others out of obligation.”

Koushun didn’t possess that level of dexterity.

Tan Kai showed an unreadable smile.

“I guess that’s what it is about you.”

“What?”

“I’ve taken a liking to you as well, so I’ll gather useful information within a safe range. If I don’t do that, you’ll get dragged into troublesome things occasionally.”

After saying that, Tan Kai opened the door and left. He was most likely taking a look around outside. Onkei let out a sigh. “He is a strange one,” Jusetsu said, taking the initiative.

“It’s not so much he’s strange as that he’s selfish.”

Onkei looked fed up, but his melancholic face looked exceptionally beautiful. “Is something the matter?” he asked when he noticed Jusetsu staring at him. She shook her head. If she said what she thought, she was likely trouble him even more. But, Jiujiu readily said, “Beautiful people still look beautiful even when they look sorrowful,” and Ishiha also nodded seriously. Onkei, with a perplexed look on his face, let out another deep sigh.

Dewdrops glistened on some of the lily pads that were battered by last night’s rain. The buds also looked moisty and puffy with water. Squinting at the glare of light reflecting off the dew, Koushun put his hand on the parapet. Although the outer corridor facing the lotus pond was in shadow, there was no way to block the heat and humidity. Ei Sei had been fanning him, but his retainer, Ka Meiin, was approaching him from the corner of the corridor, so he had Ei Sei step back. He asked Meiin, who was bowing, to come closer.

“Today’s council went on for quite a long time. I expected it to be, though.”

The main agenda was to determine the successors to vacant official positions. The Magpie Consort’s father, who was the vice director of the Secretariat, had been demoted to regional administrator, and the director of the Ministry of Personnel was dismissed after arranging for Shougetsu to be admitted into the inner palace at the request of Gyoei, so both positions were vacant. The council had quarreled over who should be appointed to those positions.

“Secretariat Un didn’t concede either.”

“That was also expected…”

On one side, Un Eitoku, the prime minister, recommended people from distinguished families, and on the other side, Meiin recommended people who weren’t from those sorts of families—commonly called a “cold” faction or cold families—thus dividing opinions into two.

“A long time ago, the Secretariat were the stars of distinguished families, and the Ministry of Personnel was the stronghold of distinguished families. They are desperate to regain that position.”

In the past, if you were the child of a prominent family, that alone was enough to get you a government position. Although that system still existed today, most of the so-called star officials were those who had passed the court examinations with excellent grades. Nevertheless, it wasn’t so difficult for children of prominent families who could spend enough time and money on studying to pass the examinations, unless they were exceedingly dull-witted. That was why many people from prominent families held high positions even now. On the other hand, there were people who didn’t come from prominent families who could also “spend sufficient time and money on studying.” For example, wealthy merchants, large landowners, and powerful clans. It was those people who were now rising in the bureaucracy.

“I’m sure they especially want to regain the Ministry of Personnel. After all, they would have the authority to manage government officials. Once they take it, we’ll be back to the era where prominent families are at the height of their power,” Meiin made a gesture like he was putting down a Go stone. “—At least, they think so.” Then he shook his head.

“People’s activities cannot go backwards. Therefore, government must also move forwards.”

Koushun simply stared at the lotuses in silence. The one he chose in the end were those recommended by Meiin. Un Eitoku’s betrayed face was still flashing through his mind.

Meiin wasn’t from a prominent family. He was the son of wealthy merchant who lived in the capital. At the time when he passed the examinations, prominent families were still exercising their authority, and it was difficult for sons of merchants to hold a position in government, even if they passed the examinations with excellent grades. The only positions those people could take were Winter Ministry acolytes, and other than that, officials whose roles weren’t prescribed in the civic codes—unspecified officials. Meiin served as an unspecified official in the countryside for a long time. It was Un Eitoku who recognized his talent and chose him as his son-in-law. Eitoku recommended Meiin to Koutou Academy as a scholar. Eitoku had a good eye, and Meiin was now the foremost scholar and the chief imperial scholar. If Eitoku was Koushun’s right-hand man, then Meiin was Eitoku’s left-hand man.

“Secretariat Un is the head of the noble Un family after all…” Meiin murmured in a somewhat dry voice.

“I doubt he’s a stickler for things like cold factions and prominent families, since he discovered you.”

“No, I’m not so sure about that,” Meiin smiled thinly. His intellectual appearance was bright and vivid. “There’s a difference between making someone your son-in-law and letting them take authority.”

Sometimes, Meiin would show a glimpse of cynicism. He, for his part, seemed to have an inferiority complex in regards to prominent families.

“…I hope I never let a talented person like you slip through my hands.”

Koushun tried to shift the subject, but he wasn’t very good at such things. However, Meiin seemed to have sensed that and matched him.

“Nowadays, no one is turned away simply because they aren’t from a prominent family, so this has been improved. But still, it is a closed door for those without money or backing. Oh yes, pertaining to that, I have something I wish to request of you, Your Majesty.”

“What is it?”

“I have a friend from back when I was working in the provinces. He is a deputy inspector in Ga Province.”

A deputy inspector was an unspecified official.

“As you know, they are not centrally appointed officials, but hired at the discretion of their superiors. He is a very talented man and is sought after in many regions. As it should be, since he passed the examinations with top marks. However——”

“He’s the type to get turned away at the door?”

“Yes. He was originally an orphan and was adopted when he was fourteen or fifteen years old. He also thinks that it’s better to work freely in the provinces than to be forced to become a government official and be confined to the capital, so he has remained a provincial official until now.”

“He’s now interested in going to the capital?”

“No, it was I who recommended it. He told me that he was going to resign from his post of deputy inspector in Ga Province. Apparently, there was something he disliked there. That’s why I invited him to work for me. Of course, since Koutou Academy is under Your Majesty’s direct supervision, nothing can happen without Your Majesty’s permission.”

“…Ga Province, huh.”

“Yes. It’s the hometown of the Crane Consort, if I remember correctly. It’s a difficult region to work in if you don’t have good relations with the Saname clan, whether you’re a government official or unspecified official.”

“Did he not get along with the Saname clan?”

“That seems to be the case.”

“Did you ask him the reason in detail?”

“No—” Meiin looked perplexed. “It’s not uncommon for people to move away because of disagreements with the powerful people of a region…shall I ask him? He is staying at my house right now.”

“No,” Koushun thought about it a little, then said, “If that’s the case, bring him to Koutou Academy.”

Meiin’s eyes widened. “Your Majesty, you’re going to meet with him in person?”

“I will have to meet with him anyway. I’m sure that anyone recommended by you is more than worthy, but I want to see who he is.”

“Of course,” Meiin nodded. “Then, I shall bring him to you on a fine day.”

“Very well. What is his name?”

“Reiko Shiki, Your Majesty. He was born in Reki Province, northeast of the capital.”

Reki Province, Koushun muttered in his mind. That was the place where Kajou’s lover died. He was engulfed in a riot caused by the Moon Truth Sect.

While thinking, What a strange coincidence, he was about to end the conversation there when Ei Sei appeared. “Secretariat Un is—” Before he could finish, Un Eitoku came hurrying towards them from the corner of the outer corridor. His gait was so quick that it was hard to believe that he was an elderly man.

“What’s wrong, is there something urgent?” Koushun said.

Eitoku bowed, and then replied, “You won’t deign to meet with me unless it’s an urgent matter?” Koushun smiled wryly.

“Don’t say such contrary things. Come here and admire the lotus flowers,” he pointed to the side. Meiin gave up his spot. Eitoku glared at him. As expected, he was in a bad mood because of what happened at court.

“I see the two of you have been trying to exclude this senile old man lately.”

“He who considers himself a senile old man is not a senile old man. Just because we didn’t agree with your opinion doesn’t mean that we want to exclude you. Don’t be so sullen.”

“…Your Majesty, please do not try to appease me so frivolously.”

Koushun had said this to ease Eitoku’s irritation, but it had the opposite effect. Eitoku’s face turned crimson. He was the only one among Koushun’s retainers who could show so much unconcealed emotion towards him. He was his mentor who had always supported him through his time as the crown prince, the deposed crown prince, his restoration to the throne, and his accession.

“It is true that I do not wish to exclude you, Tutor Un.”

Koushun called Eitoku the way he used to call him when he was a child. For a moment, there was an intense nostalgia in Eitoku’s eyes, and then his face became even more sad.

He’s gotten old.

Koushun thought as he looked at his face. He felt a cold, painful sadness, as if a blade had sunk into his chest soundlessly.

Eitoku apologized for his rudeness and left. After his bent back disappeared beyond the outer corridor, Meiin spoke in a mutter.

“Secretariat Un was most likely going to advise you on unspecified officials.”

“Unspecified officials?”

“In the provinces, unspecified officials are already becoming more powerful, and the officials dispatched from the central government are becoming less and less influential. And in order to confer stipends, government positions are added for convenience, so the position becomes meaningless. Recently, he has been bitterly complaining about how proper officials are becoming in-name-only figures and how unspecified officials are throwing their authority around, making the codes meaningless.”

Unspecified officials had it convenient. The directors could be decided at the sole discretion of the emperor, and the directors could employ subordinates without having to ask the central government for their decision. As their name suggested, they weren’t bound by the codes. They were gap-filling positions that couldn’t be filled by government officials. They were outmaneuvering professional positions.

In addition to that, Meiin must also be a reason for Eitoku’s apprehension, Koushun thought as he glanced at his profile. He was afraid of being outmaneuvered by him. Scholars were also unspecified officials.

The Eitoku from five years ago…no, three years ago would not have feared such a thing.

Will old age dampen his spirit, dull his instincts, or cause him to look only to the past instead of the future…?

Koushun considered how to handle Eitoku, and by extension, the faction of the prominent families.

Rocked by his carriage, Eitoku headed towards the Un estate from the imperial palace. The mansion of the Un clan, one of the Seven Great Clans (1), was located not far from the imperial palace. When he arrived in front of the main gate of the estate, he dismounted from the carriage and passed through the gate. Soon after, servants arrived and welcomed him. Gyoutoku, his second son, poked his head out from the inner door.

“You’re late, Father.”

“Yes, indeed.”

“We have steamed rice cakes. I shall prepare tea for you.”

“…Eating is the only thing you’re fervent about.”

Eitoku was exasperated as he stared at Gyoutoku’s puffy and round face.

“Food is the source of everything. It’s important. If you are hungry, you cannot think, and you cannot be kind to others. To have a broad mind, you must be full.”

“Ah, yes, yes. That’s enough.”

Eitoku waved his hand. Is it alright for the heir to the Un clan to be so carefree? He thought. Gyoutoku had a round body and a round and amiable personality. This made him deeply virtuous among officials, but he lacked the level-headedness that was sometimes necessary. Eitoku was exceedingly anxious about leaving the estate to him and retiring.

If only Chitoku was here.

How many times had he thought that? His eldest son, Chitoku, grew tired of the intense ups and downs of bureaucracy and quickly left home to become a merchant. Now, he has made a fortune as a respectable sea merchant.

Chitoku, contrary to Gyoutoku, was a bit too sharp, which was why he was quick to turn his back on his family. How much better would it have been if the two of them had been able to help Eitoku by compensating for each other’s shortcomings.

It’s far too late to say any of this, though.

He sighed. He had no other sons besides his eldest and second sons, and he chose a son-in-law who he thought would be a good choice for his youngest daughter. That was Meiin. In terms of excellence, Meiin certainly lived up to Eitoku’s expectations. But, perhaps he was somewhat misreading his stubbornness and ambition.

His Majesty as well…

He had never left his side since he was a child. He intended to teach him politics, preach righteousness, and raise him with love. When he ascended the throne as emperor, he was moved to tears, thinking, Finally.

But he is no longer a little child.

He was not a child who Eitoku must guide and instruct. There would be times when he would disagree with Eitoku. That was natural. That should be celebrated as growing up.

However, he felt a feeling of “betrayal” deep within him that couldn’t be wiped out. The discerning Koushun must have realized this. That was why he said what he said to appease him.

While changing in his room, Eitoku looked at his hands, which were thin and fleshy and covered in wrinkles. Their elasticity and moisture had long since disappeared.

“Master, a guest has arrived.”

He had been putting his arm through the sleeve of his robe when the servant informed him.

“Who is it?”

“He calls himself Hou Sanrou. He is a silk merchant.”

“Hou? An unfamiliar name. He must not be a silk merchant from the capital.”

“He says that he comes from Ga Province.”

“Ga Province?”

Eitoku stroked his beard for a while, then spoke.

“Very well. I’ll meet with him.”

[romanceyourdemons]

An Lushan was a general of uncertain birth origins, but thought to have been adopted by a Sogdian father and Göktürk mother of the Ashina tribe. Eventually he managed to become a favorite of the reigning emperor of China. [In Chang’an, An cultivated the public image of a “jolly fat barbarian,” acting with exaggerated simplicity and loyalty to simultaneously build favor and allay suspicion.] His success in this regard is shown, for example, by the luxurious house Emperor Xuanzong built for him in 751, in the capital Chang'an. The house was furnished with luxuries such as gold and silver objects and a pair of ten-foot-long by six-foot-wide couches appliqued with rare and expensive sandalwood.

He was appointed by Emperor Xuanzong (following the suggestion of Xuanzong's favorite concubine Yang Guifei and with the agreement of Chancellor Li Linfu) to be Jiedushi (regional military commanders) of three garrisons in the north—Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong. In effect, An was given control over the entire area north of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, including garrisons about 164,000 strong. He took advantage of various circumstances, such as popular discontent with an extravagant Tang court, the synchronous Sogdian-involved Abbasid Revolution against the Umayyad dynasty, and eventually the absence of strong troops guarding the palace coupled with a string of natural disasters. An Lushan was very influential in the Tang court, his close relationship with Emperor Xuanzong led to him being adopted by the imperial concubine Yang Guifei. […]

At the end of 755 An Lushan revolted. On 16 December, his army surged down from Fanyang (near modern Beijing). Along the way, An Lushan treated surrendered local Tang officials with respect. As a result, more and more of them joined his ranks. He moved rapidly along the Grand Canal and captured the "Eastern Capital" city of Luoyang on 18 January 756, defeating the poorly supplied General Feng Changqing. There, on 5 February, An Lushan declared himself Emperor of the new Great Yan dynasty (大燕皇帝). His next steps would be to capture the Tang western capital of Chang'an and then to attempt to continue into southern China to complete his conquest.

(via wikipedia, “An Lushan Rebellion”)

[In later life,] An became ill-tempered and paranoid, and would flog or even murder his servants if they had caused him any displeasure. Even [his most trusted general] Yan Zhuang and [his most trusted eunuch] Li Zhu'er were said to be hit frequently.

An Lushan favored his son An Qing'en (安慶恩) (the son of his second wife, Lady Duan) and was considering appointing An Qing'en to be crown prince (instead of An Qingxu, who otherwise was in line to receive that title). Knowing that he was out of favor, and fearing that An Lushan was planning to kill him, An Qingxu, along with [Yan Zhuang] and Li Zhu'er, decided to assassinate An Lushan.

On the night of 29 January 757, with Yan and An Qingxu watching outside, Li Zhu'er took a sword into the palace and attacked An Lushan. An tried to fight back, but could not locate a sword that he had put under his bed. Li Zhu'er attacked his stomach and abdomen. As his intestines were coming out of his body, An screamed "this is a thief of my own household" and died.

The next morning, Yan announced to the Yan officials that An Lushan was seriously ill, and that he had appointed An Qingxu crown prince. Then, after taking the throne, An Qingxu reported that An Lushan had died.

Glad you liked my Fanyang headcanons because they aren't gonna stop

Fan has a lot of trouble socializing. Unhealthy habits such as stalking, only being able to talk about and connect through intetests, being bad at social rules and lots of other stuff lowered his self esteem a lot and drove away many.

Which is why Yang has to learn how to uplift and support his boyfriend. He has never gotten to actively try and show people kindness before, but Yin says he's doing good! And as hard as it is to find words for how likable and adorable Fan is, the sparkles in Fan's eyes and the genuine smile always pay off.

Fan has never felt this loved and actually cared for before. Around Yang, he can ramble all he wants. He doesn't have to pick his words carefully and pay attention to every social cue. Yang's brutal honesty also means he establishes boundaries very straightforward and without a problem, which helps Fan greatly too.

As dysfunctional as both of these are on their own, they somehow manage together pretty well.

Book of Jin 60: Biography of Zhang Fang

張方，河間人也。世貧賤，以材勇得幸于河間王顒，累遷兼振武將軍。永寧中，顒表討齊王冏，遣方領兵二萬為前鋒。及冏被長沙王乂所殺，顒及成都王穎復表討乂，遣方率眾自函谷人屯河南。惠帝遣左將軍皇甫商距之，方以潛軍破商之眾，遂入城。乂奉帝討方於城內，方軍望見乘輿，於是小退，方止之不得，眾遂大敗，殺傷滿於衢巷。方退壁於十三里橋，人情挫衄，無復固志，多勸方夜遁。方曰：「兵之利鈍是常，貴因敗以為成耳。我更前作壘，出其不意，此用兵之奇也。」乃夜潛進逼洛城七里。乂既新捷，不以為意，忽聞方壘成，乃出戰，敗績。東海王越等執乂，送于金墉城。方使郅輔取乂還營，炙殺之。於是大掠洛中官私奴婢萬餘人，而西還長安。顒加方右將軍、馮翊太守。

Zhang Fang was a native of Hejian commandary. He came from a poor family, but thanks to his talents and his boldness, he won the favor of the Prince of Hejian, Sima Yong, and he rose in office to become General Who Displays Valor.

During the Yongning era (301), Sima Yong petitioned to campaign against the Prince of Qi, Sima Jiong, and he sent Zhang Fang to lead twenty thousand soldiers forward as a vanguard.

After Sima Jiong was killed by the Prince of Changsha, Sima Ai, Sima Yong and the Prince of Chengdu, Sima Ying, then petitioned to campaign against Sima Ai. Sima Yong sent Zhang Fang to lead an army from Hangu to camp at Henan. Emperor Hui sent the General of the Left, Huangfu Shang, to oppose Zhang Fang. But Zhang Fang routed his army with a hidden army, then entered the walls of Luoyang.

Sima Ai brought Emperor Hui with him to attack Zhang Fang within the walls of Luoyang. When Zhang Fang's army saw that the imperial carriage was present, they began to fall back. Zhang Fang tried to stop them, but to no avail, and his army was greatly defeated, with the dead and wounded filling the streets and alleys of the city.

Zhang Fang retreated to his rampart at Thirteen Li Bridge. His soldiers, sapped of morale, had no heart for further resistance, and many urged Zhang Fang to flee during the night. But Zhang Fang replied, "It is the fate of soldiers to know both victory and defeat. I need only turn this defeat into a success. We shall instead advance and build a new fortification, to catch the enemy unawares. This is the genius of using soldiers." So during the night, Zhang Fang secretly advanced to threaten Luoyang from within seven li of the city. Since Sima Ai had just won a victory over Zhang Fang, he believed there was nothing left to fear from him. But when Sima Ai suddenly heard that Zhang Fang had completed these ramparts, he marched out to fight him, but was defeated.

The Prince of Donghai, Sima Yue, and others arrested Sima Ai and sent him to the Jinyong fortress. Zhang Fang sent Zhi Fu to get Sima Ai and bring him back to his own camp, where he burned Sima Ai to death.

Zhang Fang greatly plundered Luoyang, kidnapping more than ten thousand public and private slave girls, before returning west to Chang'an.

Sima Yong promoted Zhang Fang to be General of the Right and Administrator of Pingyi.

蕩陰之役，顒又遣方鎮洛陽，上官已、苗願等距之，大敗而退。清河王覃夜襲已、願，已、願出奔，方乃入洛陽。覃于廣陽門迎方而拜，方馳下車扶止之。於是復廢皇后羊氏。及帝自鄴還洛，方遣息羆以三千騎奉迎。將渡河橋，方又以所乘陽燧車、青蓋素升三百人為小鹵簿，迎帝至芒山下。方自帥萬餘騎奉雲母輿及旌旗之飾，衛帝而進。初，方見帝將拜，帝下車自止之。

During the Dangyin campaign (Sima Yue's march against Sima Ying at Ye in 304, culminating in the battle of Dangyin), Sima Yong once again sent Zhang Fang to guard Luoyang. Shangguan Yi, Miao Yuan, and others opposed him, but they were defeated and fled. The Prince of Qinghe, Sima Tan, launched a surprise attack against Shangguan Yi and Miao Yuan during the night, causing them to flee. Zhang Fang then entered Luoyang. Sima Tan met him at the Guanghan Gate and saluted him. Zhang Fang got down off his carriage and stopped Sima Tan. He deposed Empress Yang once again.

When Emperor Hui returned to Luoyang from Ye, Zhang Fang sent his son Zhang Pi with an escort of three thousand cavalry to welcome them. When the imperial party was about to cross the bridge over the Yellow River, Zhang Fang further sent them a light-catching chariot with green canopies and three hundred servants to accompany the chariot. Zhang Fang himself welcomed Emperor Hui beneath the Mang Hills. Zhang Fang led more than ten thousand cavalry and brought along a mica carriage and banners and flags, and he protected Emperor Hui as they advanced. When Zhang Fang first saw Emperor Hui, he was about to perform obeisance, but Emperor Hui descended from his carriage and stopped him.

方在洛既久，兵士暴掠，發哀獻皇女墓。軍人喧喧，無復留意，議欲西遷，尚匿其跡，欲須天子出，因劫移都。乃請帝謁廟，帝不許。方遂悉引兵入殿迎帝，帝見兵至，避之于竹林中，軍人引帝出，方於馬上稽首曰：「胡賊縱逸，宿衛單少，陛下今日幸臣壘，臣當捍禦寇難，致死無二。」於是軍人便亂入宮閣，爭割流蘇武帳而為馬帴。方奉帝至弘農，顒遣司馬周弼報方，欲廢太弟，方以為不可。

By now, Zhang Fang had been at Luoyang for a long time; his soldiers had greatly pillaged the region, even digging up the grave of Princess Xian'ai. They were all restless, none wanting to remain in Luoyang any longer, so they discussed going back west. In order to provide a pretext for this, Zhang Fang wanted to wait for Emperor Hui to expose himself so he could force him to move the capital. So he asked Emperor Hui to go pay his respects at the Ancestral Temple, but Emperor Hui refused. Then Zhang Fang sent his soldiers into the palace to fetch Emperor Hui. When Emperor Hui saw they were coming, he hid from them among the bamboo, but the soldiers brought him back out. From horseback, Zhang Fang kowtowed to Emperor Hui and said, "The invaders and bandits are spread thickly, and the household guards are too few here. I invite Your Majesty to view my ramparts today. I shall do my utmost to guard against invaders or other difficulties; I will not shrink even from death."

Zhang Fang's soldiers rushed into the palace and forbidden chambers and caused chaos; they fought with one another as they cut up all the flowing ornaments and martial banners to use as reins for their horses.

Zhang Fang escorted Emperor Hui to Hongnong commandary. Sima Yong sent his Marshal, Zhou Bi, to report to Zhang Fang, expressing his belief that Sima Ying should be deposed from his position as Crown Younger Brother. But Zhang Fang felt that this could not be done.

帝至長安，以方為中領軍、錄尚書事，領京兆太守。時豫州刺史劉喬檄稱潁川太守劉輿迫脅范陽王虓距逆詔命，及東海王越等起兵于山東，乃遣方率步騎十萬往討之。方屯兵霸上，而劉喬為虓等所破。顒聞喬敗，大懼，將罷兵，恐方不從，遲疑未決。

When Emperor Hui arrived at Chang'an, Zhang Fang was appointed as General Who Leads The Army of the Center, chief of affairs of the Masters of Writing, and acting Administrator of Jingzhao.

At this time, the Inspector of Yuzhou, Liu Qiao, sent out proclamations claiming that the Administrator of Yingchuan, Liu Yu, had compelled and beguiled the Prince of Fanyang, Sima Xiao, to violate the imperial will. Meanwhile, the Prince of Donghai, Sima Yue, and others rose up with troops east of the mountains. So Sima Yong sent Zhang Fang to lead a hundred thousand horse and foot to campaign against Sima Yue's coalition.  

Zhang Fang camped his troops at Bashang, but then Liu Qiao was routed by Sima Xiao and the others. When Sima Yong heard that Liu Qiao had been defeated, he was greatly afraid. He wanted to disband his soldiers, but he was afraid that Zhang Fang would not go along with it, so he had still not made a decision.

初，方從山東來，甚微賤，長安富人郅輔厚相供給。及貴，以輔為帳下督，甚昵之。顒參軍畢垣，河間冠族，為方所侮，忿而說顒曰：「張方久屯霸上，聞山東賊盛，盤桓不進，宜防其未萌。其親信郅輔具知其謀矣。」而繆播等先亦構之，顒因使召輔，垣迎說輔曰：「張方欲反，人謂卿知之。王若問卿，何辭以對？」輔驚曰：「實不聞方反，為之若何？」垣曰：「王若問卿，但言爾爾。不然，必不免禍。」輔既入，顒問之曰：「張方反，卿知之乎？」輔曰：「爾。」顒曰：「遣卿取之可乎？」又曰：「爾。」顒於是使輔送書于方，因令殺之。輔既昵于方，持刀而入，守閣者不疑，因火下發函，便斬方頭。顒以輔為安定太守。初繆播等議斬方，送首與越，冀東軍可罷。及聞方死，更爭入關，顒頗恨之，又使人殺輔。

At the beginning of Zhang Fang's career, when he had first come to Chang'an from east of the mountains, he had been desperately poor. A rich man of Chang'an, Zhi Fu, had favored Zhang Fang and provided him with things that he needed. In turn, after Zhang Fang became an honored person, he employed Zhi Fu as a Commander of his personal tent and greatly favored him.

One of Sima Yong's Army Advisors, Bi Yuan, came from one of the leading families of Hejian commandary. He had once suffered harm because of Zhang Fang. So he now took the opportunity to advise Sima Yong, "Zhang Fang has been camped at Bashang for a long time. Even hearing about the great movements of the soldiers east of the mountains, Zhang Fang still lingers and does not advance. He is plotting something, and you should provide against it. His trusted fellow Zhi Fu knows about his plot."

Mou Bo and others had also slandered Zhang Fang as well. So Sima Yong sent someone to summon Zhi Fu. When Zhi Fu arrived, Bi Yuan welcomed him (before he could meet with Sima Yong) and said to him, "Zhang Fang is planning to rebel, and people say that you know about it. If the Prince asks you about it, what do you plan to say?"

Zhi Fu, astonished, replied, "I truly have heard nothing about Zhang Fang rebelling. How could that be?"

Bi Huan said, "If the Prince asks you about it, you must tell him, 'Indeed, indeed.' Otherwise, you will not escape disaster."

Zhi Fu was then brought in to see Sima Yong, who asked him, "Zhang Fang plans to rebel; do you know about it?"

Zhi Fu replied, "Indeed."

Sima Yong continued, "If I send you to deal with him, can you do it?"

Zhi Fu again replied, "Indeed."

So Sima Yong sent Zhi Fu to visit Zhang Fang's camp bearing a letter from Sima Yong, so that Zhi Fu would have an opportunity to kill Zhang Fang. Since Zhi Fu enjoyed Zhang Fang's favor, even when he entered Zhang Fang's tent bearing a sword, the guards did not suspect anything. When Zhi Fu gave Zhang Fang the letter, Zhang Fang moved under the fire to open the envelope, and Zhi Fu then cut off his head. Sima Yong appointed him as Administrator of Anding.

Earlier, Mou Bo and others had proposed that Sima Yong should behead Zhang Fang, then send his head to Sima Yue, hoping that this act would convince the coalition east of the mountains to disband their armies. But instead, when they heard that Zhang Fang was dead, they all raced one another to enter Guanzhong. Sima Yong regretted what he had done, and he beheaded Zhi Fu.

Sogdian general of Tang, Li Baoyu, by unknown artist

"Li Baoyu (Chinese: 李抱玉) (703 – April 15, 777), né An Chongzhang (安重璋), known for some time as An Baoyu (安抱玉), formally Duke Zhaowu of Liang (涼昭武公), was an ethnic Sogdian general of the Chinese Tang Dynasty. He was known for his contributions to Tang during the Anshi Rebellion and for his subsequent defense of the western border against Tufan.

An Chongzhang was born in 703, during the reign of Wu Zetian. His family was originally from Parthia but had lived for generations in the Hexi region, and his great-grandfather An Xinggui (安興貴) was a contributor to Tang Dynasty's establishment, having overthrown one of the contenders for supremacy during the transition from Sui to Tang, Li Gui the Emperor of Liang and united Li Gui's Liang state to Tang. The An family was known for its capability in tending horses, and a number of An family members moved to the region around the Tang capital Chang'an and became students of literature, having intermarried with scholar-bureaucratic families. An Chongzhang, however, grew up in the western regions and was capable in horsemanship and archery. He started serving in the military early in his life, and was said to be full of tactics, careful, and faithful. Toward the end of the Tianbao era (742–756) of Wu Zetian's grandson Emperor Xuanzong, for An Chongzhang's accomplishments in the army, Emperor Xuanzong bestowed on him a new name—Baoyu (meaning, "one who holds jade"). At the time that the general An Lushan rebelled at Fanyang (范陽, in modern Beijing) in 755 and soon established a new state of Yan, An Baoyu was defending Nanyang (南陽). When An Lushan sent messengers to try to persuade him to submit to Yan, he killed An Lushan's messengers."

WN China Yang Kabur Lewat Gorong-gorong Lapas Ternyata Sudah Atur Strategi Selama 6 Bulan

 Narapidana berkewarganegaraan China, Cai Changpan alias Cai Ji Fanyang ternyata telah merencanakan kabur dari Lapas Kelas I Kota Tangerang melalui saluran gorong-gorong sejak setengah tahun lalu.

Kabid Humas Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus mengatakan bahwa fakta itu didapat berdasarkan kesaksian dari rekan-rekan satu sel Cai Ji Fanyang.

"Dari keterangan awal teman sel yang bersangkutan, bahwa dia sudah melakukan (perencanaan) kurang lebih 5 hingga 6 bulan," ujarnya kepada wartawan, Selasa (22/9).

Yusri mengatakan, pelaku diduga mendapat alat-alat untuk menggali lubang yang dipakai kabur dari lokasi pembangunan di dalam Lapas.

"Memang di dalam sel Lapas itu sedang ada pembangunan dapur," jelasnya.

Saat ini penyelidikan masih dilakukan untuk mengungkap proses kaburnya tahanan tersebut. Belum diketahui apakah ada pihak yang membantu pelaku kabur atau dia bekerja seorang diri.

Dari rekaman closed circuit television (CCTV), terlihat bagaimana narapidana mati asal Tiongkok itu keluar dari gorong-gorong Lapas Kelas I Tangerang. Berjalan, tidak tampak berlari, sebelum kemudian berbelok dan menghilang.

Sampai kemarin (20/9) narapidana bernama Cai Changpan alias Antoni alias Cai Ji Fan yang divonis mati Pengadilan Negeri (PN) Jakarta Selatan pada 19 Juli 2017 itu belum tertangkap kembali.

Otomatis peristiwa tersebut menjadi tamparan kali kesekian kepada Direktorat Jenderal Lembaga Pemasyarakatan (Ditjenpas) Kementerian Hukum dan HAM.

Kepala Bagian Humas dan Protokol Ditjenpas Rika Aprianti mengatakan, tim gabungan sudah dibentuk untuk menyelidiki kaburnya napi yang divonis terbukti bersalah menyelundupkan sabu-sabu seberat 110 kilogram tersebut.

*arrives with my shitty little Fanyy/Fanyang headcanons and builds a house in your askbox*

Fan is always super scared of people judging his interests and the least expected thing for him was when Yang out of all people was the one to listen to him infodump happily.

Turns out Yang is very overprotective of the ones he cares about (which totally does not include that nerd Yin /half s) and threatens to beat up anyone who dares say a single thing wrong about Fan's special interests.

Meanwhile Yin listens to Fan very attentively as well, even when he barely has any energy to or when he doesn't look like it. He is the cuddly caring lovey dovey one in this OT3 and brings Fan food and water when he's too focused and fixated on his favorite shows to get any himself
