Chapter 60: The Origin of the Late Tang Dynasty and a Generation of Sword Saints
"But there is one thing, the younger brother still needs to ask the elder brother for help."
Chai Yinbin hurriedly pulled himself out of the joy just now, and tried his best to analyze whether Corning was making a deal with himself with a normal mentality. But he soon came to the conclusion that whether it was a trade or not, the outcome was in his favor.
So he said simply: "Brother Xian, please speak." ”
"Although my Kang family has the family style of taking in orphans, they do not have the habit of registering them. Therefore, the household registration problem of several of them may have to bother adults. ”
"Such a small thing. What's the difficulty? Chai Yinbin thought that Kangning would make any kind of request, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter, "I have a lot of shortcomings in the household registration system, and it is not uncommon for several sons to share the same name in a family with more children. Those who have not reported for many years of birth are even more common. I'll say hello to the next Hu Cao Shu Office, you can rest assured. ”
"Thank you, brother." Corning bowed, then said, "Then we're going to have to freeze now." Mingyue stayed in Qingzhou Mansion to cooperate with the adults to recruit troops and horses, and I went to Shifokou in Luanzhou to escort gold and silver to Juzhou to buy goods. ”
"Good. Be careful along the way. ”
Then everyone went back to their own houses, looking for each other, well, as if their mother was not around. Then there is a daughter-in-law looking for a daughter-in-law, and there is no daughter-in-law on the empty bed.
It's just that they are sleeping on empty beds, while Kang Ning is turning out a big box, ready to reincarnate Song Ci.
Speaking of which, Song Ci is not a very important part of his plan. It's just that the current situation dictates that this person has to be reincarnated.
At the same time, Corning also considered that his territory was getting bigger, and it was time to reincarnate some second-tier characters to strengthen the depth of the bench.
Song Ci can be regarded as taking the first step by himself, so who else is suitable next?
Corning searched several times, and finally found two people who felt useful at the moment.
The first person was one of the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, Liu Rengong, the envoy of the Lulong Festival. This man is not of good character, but he is a very characteristic person.
In the second year of Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 893 AD. When the Tang Dynasty, which was divided into feudal towns, was constantly attacking each other, Liu Rengong, who was still a general, was in charge of defending the border.
Unexpectedly, Li Congwei, the envoy of Lu Longjiedu at that time, was expelled by his younger brother Li Kuangchou. Li Kuangchou then took control of Youzhou, the core city of Lulong.
Originally, such a thing was not uncommon at the time. No matter who sits in the seat of the Jiedu envoy, Liu Rengong, as a general, just kowtow and pledge allegiance.
However, Li Kuangchou, who had just come to power, seemed to have forgotten his existence, and it didn't matter if he forgot it, the rotation deadline for the border had arrived, and it was time for the soldiers to go back for a vacation and then reunite with their families.
However, Li Kuangchou did not pervert for a long time, which made the soldiers restless one by one. "You two fell out, shut me up and wait for, why don't you let us go home?"
So, the soldiers finally decided to rebel. Led by Liu Rengong, they decided to attack Youzhou.
However, they were outnumbered in the end and were defeated by Li Kuangchou. In desperation, he had to surrender to Li Keyong in Hedong.
Liu Rengong has always been an unstable element, and he couldn't stand the days under the fence where Li Keyong sent people, so he persuaded Li Keyong to attack Youzhou through Li Keyong's adviser Gaiyu.
Li Keyong was finally moved and captured Youzhou in the first year of Qianning.
The following year, Li Ke used the above table to recommend Liu Rengong as the queen of the Lu Long Festival. The meaning is very clear, Liu Rengong is his person, and now he is supported to stay in the position of Shangjiedu, which means that Lu Long's land has been labeled as his Li Keyong.
As for why Liu Rengong is used, it is because he is a local, and he is very familiar with the local snakes in all directions, and it is easy to handle relationships.
However, the people in the court saw through the biggest hidden danger at a glance, and they didn't know whether Li Ke's close eunuchs would be wrong, or whether the ministers were obstructive and finally confirmed Liu Rengong's official position as Lu Longjie's envoy.
After the festival is stayed, it becomes the festival degree, what is the situation?
The court is telling Liu Rengong that you are now Lu Long's leader, you are not anyone's person, you are just your own person.
Regardless of whether Liu Rengong understands the meaning of the imperial court or not, anyway, the imperial court understands it, this guy is not honest.
Sure enough, Liu Rengong, who was called the Jiedu Envoy, did not obey Li Keyong's dispatch, and then recruited Li Keyong to personally raise troops to fight.
Unexpectedly, Li Keyong, who was strong and strong, defeated Lu Long, so that Liu Rengong suddenly sat down in Lu Longjiedu Mansion.
Subsequently, Liu Rengong killed Lu Yanwei, the envoy of the Yichang Festival, and let his eldest son succeed him as the envoy of the Yichang Festival.
After the success of this battle, Liu Rengong's ambitions swelled rapidly. He was ready to go south to continue expanding his territory.
So, he took a fancy to the territory of Luo Shaowei, the envoy of Wei Bojiedu. And then there is Luo Shaowei, who is supported by Zhu Quanzhong, the envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu, how can it be so easy to deal with.
Liu Rengong's combat strategy at that time was very distinctive. Excavation work: digging tunnels all the way to the other side's castle. As a result, it was noticed that the tunnel was flooded with water.
After this battle, Lu Long's strength was seriously damaged.
Then the rights and wrongs of him and his son Liu Shouguang became one of the factors that Lu Long has not risen since then. The only bright spot was that the Khitan regime, which was still in its infancy at the time, had to admit under the military might of Liu Rengong and his son. But it was also the decline of Lu Long that gave the Khitan time opportunity to rise.
However, Kang Ning is not interested in Liu Rengong's military and diplomatic ability, and the most interesting ability of this person is the work of digging tunnels.
His skill in digging tunnels is perfect because he was once a tomb robber.
Grave robbers, Corning's most in-demand profession right now.
After all, the genetic material in the big box is limited, and someone has to do this work. At present, the most suitable candidate is this Liu Rengong.
If Cao Cao could see this guy alive, his choice would definitely not be different from Kangning's.
And the other person is different from Liu Rengong, who is very well-known in later generations. He named the character and was widely known because of a "Qin Shi Mingyue".
Juggernaut Ganie. According to legend, he is a character of the same level as Jing Ke.
However, Kang Ning didn't watch "Qin Shi Mingyue", he only watched "Song Shi Mingyue" by Guochi Hujun.
When the name Gagnie came into his field of vision, he was ready to ignore it at the first moment. But another one reminded him of this guy.
That person was used by Liu Rengong to lobby Li Keyong's Gaiyu.
This person, until he died, also enjoyed Li Keyong's respect. However, what he did for the affectionate and righteous Li Keyong was somewhat sorry for the latter's respect.
This is an unremarkable historical figure, and Corning remembers him because of his last name.
Gai, when used as a surname, is more diverse in pronunciation. In addition to the pronunciation of "beggar", which we are all familiar with, it can also be pronounced as "Ge", or it can be pronounced as "embarrassing", and even this pronunciation of "fruit".
If you see children's shoes with the surname covered, try to ask, how did your hometown read your surname?
If Gai Nie encounters this question, his answer should be "Ge". At least that's how it was read in some film and television works in later generations.
Let's not be busy labeling those films and TV works as low IQ, we need to firmly believe that as our aesthetic tastes improve, creators have to compromise with us and pay more attention to these historical details.
If this logic is still a bit far-fetched, after all, we cannot bet the truth of history on those literary and artistic workers who have been criticized and criticized by history lovers.
Then let's switch to a more convincing logic.
One of the important origins of the surname Gai is related to Wang Huan, the prince of Qi during the Warring States Period. His fief was in Gaiyi (present-day Yishui, Shandong), and some of his descendants used the fief as a surname.
The pronunciation of this branch of the surname is the same as "Ge".
The rest of the sources, such as the Gaila clan of the Xiqiang clan during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Gailou clan of the Xianbei clan, all changed their surnames to Gai in the reform process of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is the same as "country".
There are also Mongolian and Manchu compatriots who have changed their surnames to Gai, which is the same as "beggar".
Although the surname Gai has other origins, Gai Nie in the last years of the Warring States Period, from the perspective of time, does not conform to the reading of the latter two sources.
Therefore, it is very likely that he will read "Ge" Nie.
Of course, there are people who oppose this statement. Sima Zhen of the Tang Dynasty once said in his "Historical Records of Suoyin": Gaiyin Gulaanti.
Contrary, it is said that the reverse cut method. It's a way to phonetize new words. It is to use the initials and finals of the two words that you already know to be phonetic.
The word "ancient" takes its initials, and "wax" takes its finals.
Then according to Sima Zhen, Gai Nie's surname should be read as "embarrassing".
However, Corning has always been dismissive of Sima Zhen's claims. His reasoning is less academic and more comedic.
First of all, the search for an animal input method strongly protested against the "embarrassing" Nie's reading - I didn't type it out anyway.
Secondly, was the word "la" pronounced "spicy" in ancient times? You must know that the difference between ancient and modern sounds is too great. If you read "music", then it is a lot of fun. You have to read "Ge" Nie.
How to pronounce the surname of the Sword Saint is still easier to deduce, as for whether that Gai Yu is a descendant of the Gai Lou clan, this lacks detailed information, Kang Ning can only wait until he meets him, and then ask.
Gai Nie, as the second target of Kangning's reincarnation this time, his "main function" naturally cannot be separated from the sword in his hand.
Since Kang Ning knew that Chai Yinbin was equipped with Shi Dian, an excellent bodyguard, didn't he know that he would find a master of martial arts for himself?
Gai Nie, what kind of person? According to the Chronicles of the Assassins, he met Jing Ke in Yuci that year. As soon as they stared, they scared away the Jing Ke who was touted by later generations.
Jing Ke is what a thing. When he met King Yan that year, "the prince is a beauty and a piano player." Ke said: 'Good accordionist! The prince entered immediately. Ke said: 'But love his hands and ears.' Then the prince cut off his hand and gave it a jade pendant. ”
This girl is a pervert, Prince Dan wants to say that you like these hands, I will give them to you together, he snorted: "But love his hands and ears." The prince Dan had no choice but to click, "Serve it with jade."
It also has to be "Sheng Yupan" to "serve it".
is such a person, if Gai Nie is not "angry", it can only mean that he himself is not right. Like Jing Ke, he just wants to sell his life to a freak who can create conditions for him to smash turtles with gold, kill thousands of horses to taste horse liver, and cut off the hands of beautiful women to "serve them with jade".
Jing Ke's imaginary relationship between monarchs and ministers is not what Kang Ning wants. So Corning's choice, after a while, Gai Nie.
