From this, it is not difficult to see that although Liu Heita was worthy of being a famous general, after Dou Jiande's death, the heroes of Hebei who had a death wish for Li Tang were the most dangerous and tenacious enemies in Li Tang's unification war. After all, without a commander and cavalry, the infantry could still fight the Tang army under the command of Li Shimin from noon to dusk with spontaneous resistance. This kind of fighting will is really terrifying. No wonder Liu Rengui sighed in the end: "Hebei Shima is the best in the world!"
What's worse is that after Li Tang conquered Hebei militarily, he still adhered to the "Guanzhong standardism". Most of the official positions in the court were given to Guanlong scholars, and the Hebei region overwhelmed Guanlong in terms of economy, culture and population. Politically, it has been reduced to a mere foil, and local elites have been suppressed and marginalized.
Take Lu Zhaolin, one of the Four Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty, as an example. He was born in the Lu family of Fanyang. He became famous for his literary talents when he was young. Not only was he good at poetry, but he was also one of the best in parallel prose. This should be placed in the Later Zhao, Qian Yan, Northern Qi, and Northern Wei years. Qilinzi, who was born in the Lu family of Fan Yang, must have started as an important official in the Qing Dynasty, such as Secretary Lang and Zuo Lang. He entered the central government before he was forty, drafted edicts for the emperor, and held a prominent position. But in history, Lu Zhaolin's official position was to be the official of Deng Wang Li Yuanyu's mansion, and the highest he could be was the Xindu County Lieutenant in Yizhou. This was simply an insult to Lu Zhaolin.
No wonder the Tang Dynasty has been established for decades. People in Hebei Province still miss Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai from top to bottom. If Wang Wenzuo himself was reincarnated in Cui Lu, Li Zhao's family in Hebei Province, he would think about them day and night, looking forward to their return. With the emergence of Dou Jiande, Liu Heitai led them to overthrow the Chang'an court, and they no longer suffered from the cowardice. Under such circumstances, Xiawang Temple is not flourishing in Hebei, it is a ghost that it is blooming everywhere.
Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and time flew by unknowingly. When someone came outside to report that the rain had stopped, Liu Ren said: "It's still early. Since the rain has stopped, let's continue on our way!"
"Liu Governor, although it has stopped raining outside, the road is still muddy, and everyone's clothes are not completely dry!" Jin Ren asked, "Why don't we rest here for the night, drink some ginger soup, and have a good rest!" "
"No need!" Liu Rengui shook his head: "The nights are long and there are many dreams. This Xiawang Temple is a strange place. Those people should be able to tell that we are officials, so it would be better to leave early!"
"Liu Prefect, I don't think Liu Qi is a lawless person. He is just a rural hero with some influence. He should not do such stupid things as overestimating his own abilities!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Although it is raining outside It’s stopped, but the wind is still strong. Why don’t you drink some hot soup here and rest for the night? It won’t be too late to set off again at dawn tomorrow!”
"That's it!" Liu Rengui's attitude was still very firm: "I know my health well and can still hold on. I'm so uneasy in the temple that I can't even rest well!" Seeing Liu Rengui's insistence, Wang Wenzuo and Jin Renwen asked After exchanging glances, Wang Wenzuo stood up and said, "In that case, let me go and talk to Liu Qi first. No matter what, we are sheltered from the rain here, so we must say something before we leave!"
"That's fine!" Jin Renwen said with a smile, "No matter what, we can't lose our etiquette!"
Wang Wenzuo came to the door of the inner courtyard and knocked several times. When the door opened, it was not Liu Qi who came out, but an old man in sackcloth. Wang Wenzuo sang a song: "I am the guest who just took shelter from the rain in the outer hall. Now that the rain has stopped, I have to continue on my way and want to say goodbye to Brother Liu Qi!"
"Oh, oh!" The old man in sackcloth said with a smile, "Mr. Sir, please wait a moment!" He took out a thorn basket from the side and filled it with dates: "My master has something to do and has already left. Before he left, he said this I gave the basket of dates to the guests in the outer hall as a token of my gratitude, so please accept it!"
"How embarrassing!" Wang Wenzuo was about to refuse. The old man laughed and said: "These dates are all harvested from the jujube forest behind the Xiawang Temple. They are not worth much. They are just a wish. Please don't embarrass the little old man if you do what the master ordered!"
"Forget it!" Wang Wenzuo accepted the dates as the old man was sincere, pulled out a handful of copper coins from his waist, and handed them to the old man: "You should accept it!"
"What do you mean, Sir!" The old man said with a look of hesitation on his face: "I am giving dates, not selling them. A good man will accept them. Don't say anything!"
"Then you're welcome!" Wang Wenzuo put away the copper coins, carried the dates back to the front yard, and said with a smile: "Then Liu Qi is not in the temple. He said he had something to go out. He asked someone to give us these dates. He said It’s a little thought!”
"Not in the temple?" Jin Ren asked

He frowned: "We are in the outer courtyard. If he went out, how come we didn't know at all? There is something fishy about this!"
"Maybe he doesn't want to see us again!" Liu Rengui replied, "It's also possible that there is an exit behind the temple!"
"It's possible!" Jin Renwen smiled. He walked to the jujube basket and looked at it: "These dates look good. Liu Qi is a man of courtesy. If he is still here, I can see him!"
"People in Hebei, even if they are reckless people, know loyalty and integrity!" Liu Rengui picked up a date and played with it for a while, but never ate it. Finally, he sighed: "What a pity, what a pity!"

Chang'an, Daxing Palace Yeting.
Li Xiayu squatted next to the brazier, carefully peeling off the upper layer of charcoal ash, blowing on the unextinguished charcoal buried in the lower layer. When the weak flames rose, he put in a few pieces of relatively dry charcoal that he had selected in advance. In the brazier, wait until the flames start, then place the wet firewood next to the brazier, wait for it to dry before putting it in the brazier. There was no way. Ever since his mother was deposed and he and his sister were imprisoned in the Yeting Palace, the attitude of the palace maids and eunuchs had completely changed. Not to mention the daily food and clothing, even the firewood, clothes and quilts that should be given according to the rules. They are often deducted.
Take the charcoal used for heating in winter as an example. Not to mention the small quantity, there is a lot of sand in it, and a lot of it is broken and wet. The sand must be picked out first, baked and sun-dried. Otherwise, the house would be filled with thick smoke once it burned, making it impossible for anyone to live in it. The winter in Chang'an is extremely cold. Daxing Palace was built during the reign of Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty, nearly a hundred years ago, and many houses have fallen into disrepair. Especially in Yeting Palace, the doors and windows of the room where my sisters lived could not be closed tightly at all. They could only be tied tightly with ropes and plugged with hay. Otherwise, the strong wind overnight would blow away the blankets. But she also knew that all this was because of that woman's intention. Thinking of this, Li Xiayu couldn't help clenching her fists.
"Sister, sister! Come out and see, come out and see!"
Li Xiayu's thoughts were interrupted by her younger sister's voice. She stood up and said, "What's the matter, Awen? My sister has something else to do here!"
