Chapter 16 Taoguang Waits for the Destiny of Heaven
"Father, I have something important to tell you today." As the eldest son of the Zhao family, he also has the mission of assuming the responsibility of the family, Zhao Kuangyin knows that the importance of this matter is self-evident, and telling his father about the matter is also hoping to find a solution.
"After dinner, come to my study to discuss-" After dinner, Zhao Hongyin called Zhao Kuangyin to the study.
That night, Zhao Kuangyin told his father Zhao Hongyin the cause and result of what happened during the day.
At this moment, Zhao Hongyi was sitting in the study, not saying a word, while Zhao Kuangyin was standing beside him, in a thoughtful daze.
Both of their thoughts were in the same space at the same timeβ
As we all know, today's son Guo Wei was the main founding hero of the Later Han Dynasty, so Liu Zhiyuan, the ancestor of the Later Han Dynasty, was heavily responsible and favored, and was awarded a high position. Later, Liu Zhiyuan was seriously ill, and before his death, he entrusted Guo Wei to become the minister of Gu Ming.
But later, Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty felt that the power of the ministers was too much, so he began to eliminate these ministers. A year earlier, in April (950 AD), Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty ordered the killing of all relatives of Guo Wei, Chai Rong and Wang Jun in Kaifeng.
And the angry Guo Wei was leading the troops outside, and immediately raised troops under the name of "Qingjun Side" after hearing the news. Within a few days, he attacked Kaifeng City, and Liu Chengyou was killed. Guo Wei first ostensibly welcomed Liu Yun of Xuzhou as the emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, but behind the scenes, he used the attack on the Khitan as an excuse to go north, and he secretly sent his men to kill Liu Yun, and then made his army support him as the new emperor, and pretended to be a last resort. In this state, he still ascended the throne under the name of "Prison State", and only officially became emperor a month later.
In this troubled era of five dynasties and ten countries, "you sing and I will take the stage", the emperor has changed one after another like a horse, and his life is like a mustard, so why worry about self-preservation. Later, his son Zhao Kuangyin defected to the Guo Wei shogunate, and Zhao Hongyin was sent to escort the expedition, and under the persuasion of his son, he defected to attack the Han Dynasty, contributing to the demise of the Later Han Dynasty. At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin also supported Guo Wei as the emperor in Guo Wei's army, and experienced the dragon's work in supporting the emperor, Zhao Kuangyin's words and deeds are extremely important, and sometimes he has to be respectful in front of the emperor, so it is obvious that such a thing should be even more low-key.
Low-key is king-
And Zhao Hongyin was born at the end of the Tang Dynasty, has experienced the rebellion of the late Tang Dynasty, was originally the founder of the Tang Dynasty, and now has experienced four of the five dynasties, not to mention that the previous three are short-lived dynasties, throughout these three dynasties are military generals as emperors, and Guo Wei of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also a military general was born, this is really fatal-
Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, various feudal towns have established themselves as states, and the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is an era of chaos in Chinese history. Moreover, these regimes were short-lived dynasties. The eleventh year of Zhuang Gong said, "Its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden." "That's exactly what happens.
The two generations of Zhao's father and son are military generals, and they can protect themselves in the troubled times, but what about the women and children in the family, the last time Kaifeng changed the dynasty, they placed their wives, sons, sons, daughters-in-law, and subordinates in the relatively stable Luoyang old mansion, but can they escape the next time if they have escaped once? This is obviously impossible, so Zhao Hongyin also understands this truth.
It is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a troubled person. At this moment, father and son thought of a piece at the same time
At this moment, Zhao Hongyin's brows were tightly locked, his face was uncertain, and he sat in a chair in a daze for a long time. Zhao Hongyin didn't say anything, Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything, and the two of them were stuck there.
"Father-" Zhao Kuangyin, as a son, was worried about his father, he knew that his father was making trouble for the future, looking at the white hair on his father's head, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't bear to say.
The silence was broken.
"Ugh!" Zhao Hongyin woke up from his stunnedness, raised his head and said, "It's okay, kid." Father is old, and some things depend on you. β
In fact, Zhao Hongyin also knows what his son thinks, as a veteran of the battlefield who was born and died, of course, he hopes that his family will be safe. Zhao Hongyin now has five sons and two daughters, of which the eldest son, eldest daughter and youngest son have all ...... I don't dare to think about it anymore.
Then Zhao Kuangyin said a sentence that made Zhao Hongyin happy, "The child should put his father first and Zhao's family first!" β
"Yin'er, you've finally grown up." Zhao Hongyin patted the child's thick arm, and then sighed, "Child, you are now the eldest son of the Zhao family, and you are worthy of being a good descendant of my Zhao family!" β
"Father's words are serious!"
"Well, my father is old...... In the future, the matter will be handed over to you......" Then Zhao Hongyin said: "Since the immortals have said so, then it means that my Zhao family should be the destiny of heaven, and my Zhao family should be the lintel of the light gate!" We should all be happy at this time! But since this is the case, in the future, my Zhao family should secretly develop their own forces, and Taoguang will be obscure to treat the right time, place and people. But you should be able to find a gentleman for Dezhao and teach him well! β
"Father, the old man is in the bush, and he has ambitions for thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. Father wants to learn Cao Cao! Zhao Kuangyin told Cao Cao to his father.
"Plan ahead!"
"Father taught me! Remember, the child, that he will know how to do it in the future. As for finding a husband for Zhao'er, the child has been visiting famous teachers all over the world recently. β
Zhao Hongyin nodded with satisfaction and said, "You also have a heart to do this, Kuang Yin, you go and bring Zhao'er to the study, I have something to say to him in person." β
"Yes, Father!"
Then, Zhao Kuangyin withdrew from the study.
β¦β¦
Zhao Kuangyin called his son to him, saying that his grandfather had something to talk about in person, and then Zhao Xiaozhao hurriedly ran to Zhao Hongyin's study, and saw Zhao Hongyin sitting under the dim oil lamp in the study, his face was blue for a while, and red for a while, as if he was annoyed by the difficulty.
Zhao Xiaozhao knew that Zhao Hongyin's study was inaccessible to ordinary people, and basically the things discussed in the study were important things, so the conversation was somewhat formal.
Heyβit seems that his grandfather has a lot on his mind, and he must have something important to explain.
What our Zhao Xiaozhao didn't know was that it was precisely because of the fortune teller's words that completely changed the fate of the entire Zhao family, and also changed the historical development trend of a country and a nation.
"Grandfather, do you have something on your mind?" Zhao Xiaozhao waited for a long time, but Zhao Hongyin didn't speak, so he had to speak: "Grandfather must have something to find Zhao'er, but for the words of Xiangshi that day, I don't know if what Xiangshi said is amazing?" β
After saying that, Zhao Hongyin felt incredible when he heard what Zhao Xiaozhao said.
"This!? How did you guess what your grandfather was thinking? Zhao Hongyin was hesitant, which could prove that what Zhao Xiaozhao had guessed was exactly this.
"Grandfather, can you tell Zhao'er a thing or two? I don't know what the priest said that day? β
"Zhao'er, grandfather just has something to say, but there are some things I don't know if you can understand or not." Zhao Hongyin straightened his throat.
"Grandfather, for what?"
Zhao Hongyin's eyes looked at his grandson, "Okay, Zhao'er." The fairy said that you have white tiger stripes on your forehead, and you are still the king of tigers, Gengjin and white tigers. β
"Grandfather, what is the White Tiger, the Tiger King, and the Gengjin?" Zhao Xiaozhao looked dazed, what is this, I don't understand.
Zhao Hongyin stroked his beard with his hand and took a smooth breath, "Zhao'er, with a white tiger, the Taoist says, 'The so-called tiger stripes are a kind of expression, and the direction of the texture on the forehead is presented, and those who have the white tiger patterns are born generals, among which the white tiger is the king of ten thousand tigers."
Zhao Xiaozhao was shocked by his grandfather's words, and his curiosity killed the cat, and he wanted to know more and more about this situation.
Then Zhao Hongyin said: "White Tiger, the main kill, the white tiger will definitely bleed into the world, so the heavens will talk about the calamity, and the people who prevent the white tiger from coming into the world will die old." I want to think about how amazing Zhuge Wuhou was back then, he changed his life against the sky and put down the seven-star lantern, and wanted to borrow twelve years of life from heaven, but in the end he fell short, but it was a pity that Zhuge Wuhou's! β
"However, if you are in good health, your destiny has changed, and things will not develop as they did before. Therefore, the immortal personally deigned to come to Bianliang precisely for this matter. β
Zhao Xiaozhao thought that he wanted to satisfy his curiosity, but who knew what his grandfather had told him about numerology metaphysics. Numerology metaphysics is an unfathomable science, and not everyone can grasp it. If someone told him these things in his previous life, he wouldn't believe it, but he was able to be brought back to the world more than a thousand years ago by Yu Pei, which was an incredible thing in itself. And I heard my grandfather say that there are immortals in this world, but are there really immortals? Zhao Xiaozhao himself doubted himself.
"What, Zhao'er, don't you believe it?" Zhao Hongyin raised his head and looked at his grandson.
Zhao Xiaozhao's two small hands kept pulling back and forth on his robe, "Grandson thinks this matter is too absurd and incredible, and I don't know the truth of this matter." β
Zhao Xiaozhao thought that what the man said was true, originally in history, Zhao Dezhao did not inherit the throne after Zhao Kuangyin's death, and the throne was taken away by his own uncle, but then he was suspicious of his own uncle, and finally committed suicide, and he did not die well in history. Such an ending is a tragic life in Zhao Xiaozhao's eyes, but fortunately, he is no longer the Zhao Dezhao in history, and there are many things that he will resolve in advance, so what happened after will never happen again.
Hahaha, Zhao Xiaozhao only felt the light of his traveler at this time, a big stone that had been pressed in his heart for a long time finally landed, En, many things are clear at a glance.
"But this matter must not be said, if it spreads, especially the one in the capital, it will be a catastrophe for my Zhao family!"
"Grandfather said it very much!" Of course, Zhao Xiaozhao knew the consequences of spreading the news.
"It's you, your father and I know about it, don't tell anyone else!"
β¦β¦
After saying goodbye to his grandfather, Zhao Xiaozhao went back to his room alone.
