I have watched a lot of Tang Dynasty court dramas over the years, and Jin Wuwei always appears. I don't know if you have this feeling. When I hear the three words Jin Wuwei, I feel very powerful and noble, and I always feel very sharp.
You see " Tang Dynasty Weird Stories " in the play Jin Wuwei holds a long sword and carries a bow and arrow, especially the golden sword of Jinwuwei, the general of Jinwuwei, and the golden spear of Lu Lingfeng, the middle general of Jinwuwei. Unapproachable feeling.
The original Jinwuwei was not called Jinwuwei, but was called "Wuhou". This Wuhou often appears in " Chang'an Twelve Hours ". In the early Tang Dynasty, Wuhou was mainly responsible for maintaining city security, city management and city fire protection. The place where they worked was "Wuhoupu".
When Tang Gaozong reached , Wuhou was officially changed to "Jin Wuwei" and set up a general, and the responsibilities and powers became larger, because in addition to the work mentioned above, they also had to be in charge of day and night patrols in the palace and the capital, and sometimes Escorting the emperor on his trip, he became a majestic imperial guard in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Tang no longer existed, eunuchs were in power, and the national power declined. The Emperor's Guards were divided into two parts, "North and South". According to the records in "New Book of Tang: Military System", "Nanya, all guards are also. Beiya, the forbidden army." Nanya's Weifu system includes sixteen Nanya guards, including Jinwuwei, while Beiya's guards are forbidden. Ya's forbidden army mainly refers to Shence Army . Among them, Jinwuwei also obeyed the emperor, and the Shence Army was always under the control of the eunuch group.
As you can imagine, the imperial guards around the emperor are all members of the eunuch group. Can this emperor be safe?
In AD 835, Tang Wenzong In the ninth year of Li Ang's ascension to the throne, an assassination against eunuchs was being planned, and it was after this failed assassination that Jin Wuwei completely disappeared.
This assassination was historically known as " Ganlu Change ", and it was recorded in great detail in " Zizhi Tongjian ": General Zuo Jin Wuwei Han Yue, there was no court, the emperor asked, he It is said that the legendary "nectar" appears on the pomegranate tree in the backyard of Jinwuwei, and auspiciousness descends from the sky. The emperor pretended not to believe it and sent Qiu Shiliang, the leader of the eunuch group at the time, to lead someone to confirm it for him.
is actually a game, a game to trap Qiu Shiliang.
As a result, when Qiu Shiliang led the eunuch to go, when he saw the general of Zuo Jinwuwei Han Yue, he found that he was panicking and sweating profusely. The figure is also exposed.
Qiu Shiliang knew the plan and immediately withdrew. At this time, a Jinwuwei was about to close the door. Qiu Shiliang scolded him sharply. The Jinwuwei was so frightened that his legs trembled and did not close the door. out, the assassination failed. General
was so nervous that he was sweating, Jin Wuwei was too scared to close the door, what else do you think this Jin Wuwei could do?
After that, Qiu Shiliang and others who were withdrawn returned to the palace to hold the emperor hostage, and mobilized the Shence army under his command to carry out a major purge of the court in the name of protecting the emperor, killing 600 ministers in the court that night. And Tang Wenzong Li Ang has since become a puppet emperor.
Jinwuwei is a key role in "The Change of the Dew", and it is the most implicated after the failure. The eunuch group has weakened the power of Jinwuwei through various means, eradicated the old generals of Jinwuwei, and Jinwuwei has returned to the original appearance, responsible for the city patrol alert.
Later, Jinwuwei was no longer needed for patrols, and was directly transformed into an honor guard of the palace. The weapons equipped by Jinwuwei were all taken back to the armory. " instead. What is
instrument knife? Fake knives are just wax or wooden toys.
Since then, he has witnessed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
