Chapter 3 The Great Dream Soul Returns to Luoyangxi
It is precisely because there are so many delicate rivers and mountains that this has led countless heroes to bend their waists.
From the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion, the feudal towns opened the curtain of secession, and in the half century from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Five Dynasties, the land of China fell into division again. The princes were fighting, the smoke was everywhere, and the common people were displaced and homeless.
In this year, 951 A.D., many things happened on the land of China, and history changed dramatically because of a few important figures.
In the North:
In the first month, Guo Wei usurped the Later Han Dynasty and became independent, and the Later Zhou Dynasty established the country, and the era name was Guangshun (951). In the same year, Liu Chongzi, Liu Yun, was killed, and on the same day, Liu Chong (the younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan, the ancestor of the Later Han Dynasty) was the emperor in Taiyuan, and he still used the name of the Later Han Dynasty Qianyou (four years of the Northern Han Dynasty), which was called the "Northern Han Dynasty" in history.
In March of the first year of Zhou Guangshun, Zhou Shi broke through Xuzhou and killed Gong Tingmei. In September, the Northern Han Dynasty asked Liao for help, and the Liao clan led a large army south. Chacha colluded with Yelu Pendu to break into the camp tent, kill Emperor Sejong and the Empress Dowager, and proclaim himself emperor. Liao Taizong's eldest son, Shou'an Wang Yelujing, crusaded against Cha Che and killed Cha Che. After quelling the rebellion, Yelu Jing, the king of Shou'an, succeeded to the throne of the emperor, that is, Mu Zong, and changed the year name to Yingli.
In the South:
In the ninth year of the Southern Tang Dynasty (951), the Southern Tang Dynasty was turbid with the Chu government, and the king of Chu, Ma Xicao, killed excessively, indulged in alcohol and prostitution, and did not compassionate the servants. Seek to get Chu. In October, the Southern Tang Army entered Changsha, and Chu was destroyed. In the ninth year of the Southern Han Dynasty (951), the deputy envoy of Chu Jingjiang Jiedu, the governor of Guizhou, Ma Xiyin, the king of Chu, sent Peng Yanhui, the governor of the prefecture, to secretly contact Chu Mengzhou (now Mengshan, Guangxi) to assassinate Shi Xu Qiong. Fear of the pressure of the Southern Han army, Qiong fled to Guizhou (present-day Guilin, Guangxi). Liu Hongxi, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, sent a letter to Ma Xiyin, and Ma Xiyin surrendered. The Southern Han army took advantage of the victory to win Yi (now Yishan, Guangxi), Lian (now Lianxian, Guangdong), Wu (now Wuzhou, Guangxi), Yan (now Laibin Southeast, Guangxi), Fu (now Zhaoping, Guangxi), Zhao (now Pingxi, Guangxi), Liu (now Guangxi), Xiang (now Xiangxian, Guangxi), Gong (now Pingnan, Guangxi) Eight states, the Southern Han Dynasty began to occupy the land of Lingnan.
It's really been a bad year!
……
It is the prosperous and sensitive city of Luoyang at night, standing quietly on the edge of the Yellow River
The starlight in the first half of the night is particularly enchanting, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky. Anyone who can say that the second half of the night is very calm is very wrong.
In Luoyang City in the second half of the night, the starlight is dim-
At this time, the dignitaries were going to sleep from the moment of hustle and bustle, and suddenly a ray of light shot through the thick clouds, broke through the obstacles, and illuminated the Luoyang Jiama camp.
As everyone knows, after the wind and clouds changed, a thunderbolt seemed to crack from the depths of the earth, like piercing clouds and cracking stones, releasing its huge energy, which can be described as earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods! At this time, in Luoyang, Zhao Kuangyin's house was busy in and out.
In the small three-in, three-out mansion, a group of maids and attendants hurried from the courtyard, and people who didn't know thought something big had happened.
Something big did happen - it turned out to be Zhao Kuangyin's wife in the house, He Shi, who was pregnant and about to give birth in October. The midwife was busy in the delivery room, after all, the medical level of this era was very limited, and the mother was slightly tired at this time due to the long labor during the delivery process, coupled with the hoarse screams, and the midwife had to manage not only the woman but also the child.
In ancient times, giving birth to a child was a very dangerous thing, and if you didn't get it right, you would have to die twice. Human life is at stake! At this time, Zhao Heshi, who was lying on his back on the bed, was soaked, and giving birth to a child was like wandering in the underworld, and he would be Amitabha Buddha after giving birth as soon as possible.
At this time, at the front of the Buddha hall sat a kind and kind old woman, holding a string of Buddha beads in her right hand, the Buddha beads seem to gather the aura of heaven and earth, this Buddha beads are carved with the best East China Sea rosewood, consecrated by the famous master.
The old man muttered in his mouth: "The great mercy and compassion of Guanyin Bodhisattva, bless He Niang to give birth to a child safely, bless the mother and child safely, Amitabha!" At this time, her husband Zhao Hongyin and her second son Zhao Kuangyin were in Bianjing City, and everything in the family was handled by Du.
"The ancestors are above, and Yueniang begs God to bless the safety of the second sister-in-law and the child." The girl folded her hands and knelt reverently on the futon. This girl is Zhao Kuangyin's sister Zhao Yueniang.
In the hall of the mansion, Zhao Hongyin's third son, Zhao Kuangyi, was anxiously pacing back and forth, and Zhao Kuangmei, the youngest in the family, was circling around the third brother.
Zhao Kuangyi: "Fourth brother, don't turn around, my head is dizzy from you." ”
"Third brother, did you say that the second sister-in-law gave birth to a boy or a girl?"
"How do your third brother know this? The second sister-in-law didn't know when she was born, stupid! Zhao Kuangyi knocked on his brother's head.
"Third brother, you bully me." Zhao Kuangmei tried to squeeze out a look of grievance.
Zhao Kuangyi ignored his younger brother and was still waiting outside......
"Sister-in-law hold on!" A thirteen-year-old boy walked anxiously around in front of the delivery room, muttering.
There is a certain number in the dark.
Suddenly, the light entered the delivery room, followed by a scream that broke through the air, and after a long time of tossing and wailing, a baby croaked to the ground.
Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Kuangmei didn't pay attention to the light at all, and were attracted by the child's cry.
"It's raw!" Both spoke at the same time.
The child's voice was not small, and after hearing it, Du Shi walked out of the Buddhist hall and hurried over.
"Born, born! Congratulations to Madame for giving birth to a big fat boy! The midwife said with blood on her hands, holding her newborn baby, and with joy on her face.
"Midwife, how is the young lady and the child?" Du Shi was anxious to get the news from the midwife.
"Old lady, thank God, Bodhisattva bless! Madame and son, mother and son are safe! ”
"Thank you God and Buddha for your blessing!" Du folded his hands and reverently read to the heavens.
"Go get hot water and a clean little quilt."
"Yes!"
The maids were busy, bringing basins of water, and the housekeeper brought a brand new swaddling cloth, which was quickly wrapped after washing, for fear of freezing the child.
"This child's cries are wave after wave, our little son is really different', he will be a great character in the future!" The maids smiled and looked at the infant child, and said to Du Shi.
"It's amazing, this kid weighs seven and a half pounds!"
"Good, good! Thanks to God and the Buddha for bless our Zhao family! Du said happily.
"Show me the kids!" Du Shi picked up the baby from the wet nurse's hand, "This child is really handsome, just like his father." Look at these eyes, with He Niang, he will be a beautiful boy when he grows up in the future! ”
……
That light is the dazzling light emitted by the jade pendant, this child is Zhao Xiaozhao, the soul that has crossed over in the later generations, and fate has fused the two together.
"Is the child safe? Was it a boy or a girl-child? He woke up from the exhaustion of childbirth and eagerly asked the maid next to him.
"Young lady, don't worry, you gave birth to a little son! The little boy is healthy now! The maid next to her said hello to her wife.
"Xiang'er, bring the child over and I'll take a look!"
"Yes, young lady!" The maid named Xiang'er took the child from Du's hand and held it to He.
"This is my child, who looks like a husband." Carefully looking at the child paper in his hand, a sense of pride arose, "It's a pity that my father-in-law and husband are now in Bianjing City, and they don't know about the child yet." He said, leaning on the bed.
"The young lady is too worried, the old lady has her own arrangements, and at this time she should have sent someone to spread the news to the old man and Erlangjun on the way."
"That's good! Xiang'er. ”
After a while, Du Shi and Zhao Kuangyi came in and saw He Shi holding the child.
"He Niang, you are so lying down, you have to rest well!" Du Shi said, as if he remembered something, he quickly took out the string of Buddhist beads from the left cuff and put it on his grandson's right hand, "Good grandson, this string of Buddhist beads is very effective, bless you to drive away disasters and avoid disasters, and grow up safely!" Du prayed to heaven.
"He Niang, you have worked hard, give the child to the nurse, you take care of your body! Hey? Lan'er, where is the nurse now? ”
"Old lady, the nurse is waiting in the backyard!" Lan'er beside Du Shi said.
"Lan'er, you go to the backyard and tell the nurse to come over!"
"Yes, old lady!" Lan'er, who was beside Du's, went down and told the nurse to come over.
"The master and Erlang are both in Bianjing, and I don't know that He Niang has given birth to a child, junior, you go to find a diligent guard to go to Bianjing to report a message, so that they can rest assured!"
"Yes, mother, I'll do it right away!" Zhao Kuangyi turned his head and walked out of the room, and said to the guards outside the door, "Zhao Xin, you went to Bianjing overnight to give the news of the house to your father and brother!" ”
"Yes!"
