Chapter 9 History has played a big joke

The biggest charm of history lies in its unpredictability, if we follow the plot of the TV novel, Emperor Zhou Wu is obviously the male protagonist. Such a wise and martial emperor, after destroying the Northern Qi Dynasty, then recuperated, and then destroyed the Southern Chen, ended the troubled times, and completed the great unification, which is in line with the logic of novel TV. But it's a pity that history is so absurd, it made Yuwen Yong the emperor and gave Yu Wenyong a chance to display his ambitions, but when he was high-spirited and scolded Fang Xuan, he made the most cruel joke with him, this joke directly took away Emperor Wu of Zhou, took away the British lord of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and also took away the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

In 577 AD, Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed the Northern Qi and unified the north, at this time the Southern Chen officials ruled the Qingming Dynasty and the national strength was strong, Emperor Wu of Zhou knew that it was impossible to distinguish the victory or defeat with the Southern Chen in a short period of time, the battle of unification was a long tug-of-war, in this tug-of-war, the slightest mistake of either side would affect the overall situation, as a Ming monarch with unification aspirations, he would never allow any uncontrollable factors to affect this unification war, and the Turks were obviously such a restless factor. Even if you can unite with the Turks in order to destroy the Northern Qi before, but since the Northern Qi is gone, there is only one unstable factor left for you, the Turks, then you can die, so in the second year of the destruction of the Northern Qi, Emperor Wu of Zhou waved his hand and set the focus of this year's work - attacking the Turks.

He gathered a large army, collected supplies, and was ambitious, preparing to attack the Turks in five directions, but at this time, he fell ill, and the joke of history came at this time. This illness came very suddenly, and it was also very serious, in July of this year, Yu Wenyong had a premonition that he could not do it, so he set off from the front line to return to the palace, and this military operation against the Turks was temporarily canceled due to the serious illness of the Supreme Commander. But as soon as it was canceled, the Turks became a difficult problem for later generations, and this problem could not be solved until the Tang Dynasty.

He died before he left the school, which made the hero cry. This sentence is the best portrayal of Emperor Wu of Zhou Yu Wenyong, a wise and martial, eloquent emperor, strategic, ambitious, forbearing, able to employ people, the biggest advantage is that he is young, only 35 years old, 35 years old no matter which dynasty is the golden age of meritorious service. Such a person, no matter how you look at it, seems to have been born to end troubled times. But it is such a perfect emperor who did not fall on the way to the charge, but fell under the disease, it is really a pity, what a pity. I have always said that there are no ifs in history, but here I still want to be verbose, if Yu Wenyong did not die of illness, he would not have to be given too much time, and he would have been given another 10 years, maybe not for 10 years, and he would have been able to complete the great cause of reunification. Let's calculate, in 582, Chen Shubao, the queen of Southern Chen, ascended the throne, and Yuwen Yong died of illness in 578, a difference of 4 years, and Chen Shubao is a question to be sent. Since the day Chen Shubao ascended the throne, Chen Guo has entered the countdown, and Yuwen Yong at that time can only be said to be easy to destroy Nan Chen. But there is no what ifs in history, and no matter how much emotion there is, it is just a pity for Yu Wenyong.

On June 21, 578, the great emperor ended his short life, he collapsed on the way back to Beijing, and after his death, the countdown to the Northern Zhou Dynasty began, and the beginning of the countdown was the accession of Yuwenyun, the son of Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Written here, the foreshadowing of a historical background in the early stage is already very detailed, the origin of the Guanlong Group, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Dynasty are also introduced more clearly, and the next historical trend is very clear. I have to end it here, the first time I write a novel, I don't grasp some things well, I actually want to insert a piece of Yang Jian and Li Yuan's early life in the middle, but the writing is relatively compact, there is no room for insertion. Here is the chapter on the death of Emperor Wu of Zhou, I will give an overview of the early days of Yang Jian and Li Yuan, after all, the focus of the early book is Emperor Wu Zhou, Yang Jian and Li Yuan, Emperor Wu of Zhou is gone, Yang Jian and Li Yuan have not yet come out, and it is not suitable.

Let's talk about Yang Jian first. Yang Jian, born in 541 A.D. in the seventh year of the Great Unification of the Western Wei Dynasty, his father is Yang Zhong I mentioned earlier, is a military nobleman, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhou, due to Yang Zhong's military talent was named the Duke of Suiguo, after Yang Zhong's death, the son inherited his father's position, and was promoted to Shangzhu State, Da Sima, and a very popular minister. Yang Jian was born in a Buddhist temple, it is said that when he was born, the purple air came from the east, and the strange fragrance filled the courtyard, which was very common in ancient history. After all, ancient times was a society with divine monarchy, if your emperor was born like an ordinary person, why did you rule the common people? So, in order to conform to this theorem, the birth of the emperor is always different. Even the later beggar emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, after being unified as emperor, his birth was full of legends.

Regardless of whether this birth is true or not, Yang Jian's experience is really a bit legendary, and the biggest attraction is that he was not raised by his parents, he was raised by a nun. After Yang Jian was born, a nun came to Yang Zhong and said to him, "Your son is not a mortal, he can't be fed in the way of ordinary people, leave it to me, I will take him to live in the temple, which will be conducive to his growth." "Everyone knows that the degree of belief in Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, although Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed the Buddha on a large scale, but it was only the Buddha of ordinary people, these nobles should believe or believe, it just so happened that this Yang Zhong is a person who believes in Buddhism, and when he heard this nun say this, he immediately asked the nun to take the child away, and it was twelve years to go, and Yang Jian's childhood was spent in the temple. The most direct impact is that Yang Jian became a Buddhist, he believed in Buddhism, but he received the best Buddhist education, so he was not ignorant and had his own ideas. He advocated the Buddhist ideas of thrift and thrift, and these two qualities have always accompanied Yang Jian throughout his life.

It was not until he was thirteen years old that Yang Jian left the temple to study in Taixue, and in 566 AD, he married Dugu Xin's daughter Dugu Jialuo. Dugu Jialuo is very helpful to Yang Jian, it can be said that without Dugu Jialuo, there would be no Yang Jian, the founder of the Great Sui, this sentence is absolutely not funny, everyone will know if you continue to watch. Then Yang Jian's life has nothing to say, it is very flat, very smooth, promoted all the way to make a fortune, deeply valued by Yuwen Yong, and even Yu Wenyong personally gave marriage, so that Yang Jian's daughter Yang Lihua became Yu Wenyun's crown princess, and Yang Jian became the future national ruler, a very popular minister, it is not an exaggeration at all.

This is the first half of Yang Jian's life, the first half of a standard conscientious minister, at this time Yang Jian is still a conscientious worker, a loyal supporter of Yu Wenyong, until Yu Wenyun's accession to the throne, he began to transform from a worker to an entrepreneur, of course, this is a later story. Next, let's talk about Li Yuan.
