Chu Liang's life experience
Born into a noble family, Sui Kai
In the 16th year of the Emperor's reign, Chu Suiliang was born into an aristocratic family from Yangzhai. His father Chu Liang was a temporary rider and a regular waiter. He became friends with Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun and others. In the first year of Tang Wude, Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty. Chu Liang's father Chu Liang was a bachelor of the East Palace of the Sui Dynasty. Because of his old relationship with Yang Xuangan, he was demoted as the magistrate of Xihai County. Xue Ju proclaimed himself emperor in Lanzhou, and Chu Liang was appointed as Huangmen Shilang. Chu Suiliang was Xue Ju's steward, in charge of imperial edicts and court presentations.
Xue Ju occupied most of Gansu and tried to seize the capital Chang'an, but died on the march. Xue Ju's son Xue Gaoren inherited his career. In the 11th month of the lunar calendar in the first year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Xue, the camp in Jingzhou, was surrounded. Xue surrendered and was sent to Chang'an to be executed. His men fell under his command. As a result, Chu Suiliang entered the Li Dynasty and began his political career.
Chu Suiliang wore Cao Jia and joined the army in "Ni Kuan Zan". Initially, Chu Suiliang wore Cao Jia and joined the army under Qin King Li Shimin. Li Shimin had a good impression of Chu Suiliang. Li Shimin once said to Sun Changwuji: "Chu Suiliang is honest, honest, knowledgeable, and will try his best to be loyal to me. If a bird flies, it must love itself." In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty ordered Li Shimin to take control of the east. He gained Pingyuan's civil and military power and allowed him to open his residence, Sidetian Mansion, in Luoyang. In the same year, Li Shimin established his own literary museum, where 18 bachelors served as his national advisers. Sui Liang's father Chu Liang was one of them, in charge of literature. In such an environment, Chu Suiliang's knowledge increased day by day. Especially calligraphy, under the guidance of He and Yu Shinan, is outstanding, with political status and social reputation that Ou and Yu do not have. Volume 64, "Tang Huiyao" records that the daily affairs of Hongwen Hall were managed by Chu Suiliang, known as the "master".
In the sixth month of the lunar calendar in the ninth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin launched the "Xuanwu Gate Rebellion" and was later named the prince. In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Li Shimin ascended the throne, and the country's name was changed to Zhenguan the following year. In the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to transform the battlefield of the Sui Dynasty into a temple, under the control of Chu Suiliang. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty established Ciyun Temple, and Chu Suiliang inscribed it. In the tenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Chu Suiliang became a life assistant and recorded the emperor's words and deeds. In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Yu Shinan passed away. Wei Zheng recommended Chu Suiliang to Li Shimin, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty appointed him as "Shu Fu".
Li Shimin, the servant of the disciple, once extensively collected Wang Xizhi's "Rituals".
The authenticity of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy can be identified, so that no one will dare to issue fakes to claim credit. In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Chu Suiliang persuaded Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to suspend meditation. In the same year, Huo Chen moved the doctor. Li Shimin had to consult Chu Suiliang for almost every major matter. Li Shimin wanted to conquer Liaodong himself, but was opposed by Chu Suiliang. However, Li Shimin's tough attitude frightened Chu Suiliang. He did not persist and followed Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty on an expedition to Liaodong. But the subsequent development of events confirmed that Chu Suiliang's words were correct.
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Prince Cheng Qian was deposed for murdering King Wei of Wei. Sui Liang and Sun Changwuji persuaded Tang Taizong to make the ninth son Jin Wang Li Zhi the crown prince.
In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Chu Suiliang, the minister of Huangmen, began to participate in politics. Later, he was sent by the emperor to inspect all parts of the country, and he could directly reward officials. At this time, his father Chu Liang passed away, and he had to temporarily resign from the post of Huangmen Minister. In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Chu Suiliang was appointed as an assistant to Min.
In the 23rd year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty called Sun Chang Wuji and Chu Suiliang to the bedroom on his sick bed and said to them: "You are loyal ministers, loyal ministers, But Jane is in my heart. Yesterday, the Han Dynasty sent Huo Guang and Liu Bei asked Zhuge to appoint the Qing Dynasty as my successor. You also know that you must do your best to help and protect the clan." Prince Li Zhi said. "With Sun Chang Wuji and Chu Suiliang here, we can rest assured about national affairs." So Chu Suiliang was ordered to draft a letter. In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Li Zhiji proclaimed himself emperor and Chu Suiliang was appointed county magistrate of Henan Province. The following year he was promoted to county magistrate of Henan Province, and was later demoted to the governor of Tongzhou on this pretext. Three years later, the emperor recalled him to his side and made him the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the governor of the country's history, the official of Guanglu, and the guest of the prince. In the fourth year of Tang Yonghui's reign, he was promoted to the right minister of Shangshu and took charge of state affairs. This was the pinnacle of his political career.
