Chapter 1 Before the Crossing
The troubled times are changing, and the heroes of the world are out!
At the end of the Sui Dynasty in history, there were many heroes! Among them, there are many names left in later generations, such as river carp, countless! However, one of the heroes is the person who is sought after as the number one hero in some novels and commentaries - Li Yuanba!
Li Yuanba is a character in the Qing Dynasty novel "The Complete Biography of Tang Romance" and many commentaries, and his historical prototype is Li Xuanba (599-614), the word Dade, the third son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and the mother Empress Dou. The Sui Dynasty died young in the tenth year of the great cause (614), at the age of sixteen, and was posthumously named King Wei by Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and later generations changed his name to Li Yuanba because of the avoidance of the name of Emperor Xuanye of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
However, there are many versions of the cause of his death, such as falling from a horse and dying, or being surrounded by enemy troops and dying, or being killed by Yu Juluo, one of the Nine Elders of Kaisui, using a knife meter! However, these are all speculations after people recognize Li Yuanba, and there is a legend like a myth: the most admirable point of Li Yuanba in "Speaking of Tang": he is simply a "perpetual motion machine", and there is almost no energy consumption. Unlike Yuwen Chengdu, who is ranked second, after a large amount of energy consumption (one against three: Xiong Kuohai, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi), he will not be able to resist Pei Yuanqing who is ranked behind him; Li Yuanba can only rely on a horse and a double hammer to beat all the generals of the Eighteen Roads against the king into submission. It's even easier for him to kill than to cut tofu, and you can almost treat him like a solar-powered shredder. How could such a world-famous overlord also die? In the book "Speaking of Tang", it also contains a strong view of fate. Li Yuanba's master, Ziyang Zhenren, once told him that if he met someone who made gilt boring when he was facing the enemy, he must not hurt his surname, otherwise he would definitely not die well. However, Li Yuanba initially remembered his master's teachings, did not forget to show mercy to his subordinates, and let Yuwen Chengdu go; Later, when he swept the world and became murderous, he no longer followed the master's teachings, and not only began to kill, but more than one. Although Wu Tianxi, who was mixed with gold, tried his best to confess, he was still torn apart by him; Yuwen Chengdu, who made the phoenix wings gilt boring, let it go once, and the second time he couldn't help but have a fierce surname, and tore it apart like a gourd. Master's words are still in my ears, and Li Yuanba's ending of "not dying well" has long been doomed.
When Li Yuanba returned to Tongguan, Ying Yuan's thunder turned Tianzun into his place, and he was ordered to lead the gods of the Thunder Department to take Yuanba's crime of rebelling against the sky. I saw the wind and clouds rising, the drizzle and the clouds, the few rainbow lightning flashing, and the thunderbolts were combined. The thunder only sounded on the head of Yuan Ba, like a beaten scene. Yuan Ba was furious, pointed his hammer at the sky and shouted: "Bah! Why are you so hateful, according to the young master's head! He threw the hammer into the air, only to see Tianzun's hand pointing, Yuanba looked up, the four-hundred-pound hammer fell down, pounced, hit Yuanba's face, turned over and fell off the horse. A generation of overlords has vanished. This is an absurd ending, but isn't Li Yuanba himself from the ordinary world? When you get off the horse in your crotch and hammer in your hand, the hammer person is like a hammer fly, and you don't know how many killings you have created? I like to throw people into the air, tearing my legs apart, recalling the bloody scene, reflecting the yellow and thin face of a twelve-year-old boy, even if it is an ancient evil god, right? - Maybe only this ending can be worthy of the unparalleled overlord?!
But this is all speculation by later generations, and it should not be true! However, the person who was short-lived in history may have been an ordinary person! According to the novel, Na Fu Zunrong may really die of illness in his early years......
However, none of the above causes of death have anything to do with this book!
In 599 AD, he was not in the year, and in the nineteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui! In a mansion surnamed Li in Wugong County, Shaanxi, the maids and maids hurriedly shuttled back and forth in the compound.
Legend has it that two dragons frolicked in front of their house and made a fuss for three days before leaving. This is auspicious! Because Li Fu's mother Dou gave birth to a dragon son on the same day, and gave birth to another one three days later! This child was successfully produced after the vision dissipated, and it was quite the last train to catch the vision! Of course, there are two sons to the outside world...... (The ancients were really unrestrained!) Ryuko? At that time, he was not the emperor, so didn't these two children intersect with each other? Sweat one first! )
At this time, Li Yuan, the owner of the Li Mansion, was currently the Taishou of the two counties of Xingyang (now Zhengzhou, Henan) and Loufu (now Jingle, Shanxi). Because of his father's Yu Meng, he inherited the title of Tang Guogong at the age of seven! It can be described as a prominent family, a wealthy family! Li Yuan is the nephew of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Dugu Empress [that is, Dugu Jialuo, the seventh daughter of Dugu Xin, and Li Xin's wife is the fourth daughter of Dugu Xin], his grandfather Li Hu, is the Longxi County Duke of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the highest official is the Tai Lieutenant, and posthumously named the Duke of Tang Guo, which is the origin of the Tang Dynasty name built by Li Yuan later. Li Yuan's father, Li Xin, inherited the title of Duke of Tang and served as the general of the Zhu State in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Li Yuan was born in Chang'an in 566 AD (the first year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty) and inherited the title of Duke of Tang at the age of seven. Because of his high background, coupled with his own open-mindedness and generosity, he has outstanding talents, so his prestige is very high.
The two sons born at this time have a ten-year-old brother on top of them - Li Jiancheng! Small characters Bishamon. A native of Chengji, Longxi (now northwest of Qin'an, Gansu). This was born when Li Yuan was guarding Honghua County (now Qingyang County, Gansu).
When Dou successfully gave birth to two sons, ten-year-old Li Jiancheng came to the house and watched his second and third brothers curiously. At this time, Dou had just finished giving birth, and he was already tired and asleep, while a child was carefully washed by two nurses. Jiancheng looked at it for a while, and asked very strangely: "Mama, is this my brother?" The nurse who was washing up for the second son hurriedly replied: "The eldest son, exactly!" This is the third son, and the second son is sleeping. ”
Li Jiancheng scratched his head: "But why is my third brother so different from my second brother?" Thin and small, how do you think my second brother is chubby for nothing? ”
"This ...... The slaves don't know what's going on! "The two nurses really don't dare to talk nonsense, no matter how you say this situation, it's wrong! Malnutrition, how could there be such a statement and knowledge at that time! Could it be that the third son can't snatch the second son in the belly of the main mother, and he is hungry? This can involve the master's family affairs, who dares to talk more!
The child's surname is impermanent, and he gets annoyed after staying in the house for a while, and he wants to go out to play, but he is called to the study by the teacher invited by Li Yuan to study!
Li Yuan came on the third day after the birth of his son, first went to the inner room to see Dou, and found that his wife was extremely weak, so he immediately called Lang Zhong, who was conditioning Dou, to ask what the situation was.
"My lord, it took three days for the main mother to give birth, which in itself hurts her vitality. What's more, I suffered a little bit of wind chill at the time, and although there is nothing major now, I still need a long time of conditioning! Lang Zhong respectfully lowered his body and clenched his fists and said.
"Well, that's good! In the future, I will have to worry a lot about Langzhong, come to someone! Take Lang Zhong to the tent to receive six taels of silver. After speaking, after Lang Zhong was led down, Li Yuan went back to the inner room to see his son!
After a while, Li Yuan walked out with a frown: "Why are my three sons so thin?" Is the vision of the day described by the next person really so miraculous? Thinking about his thoughts, his left hand stroked the red and swollen index finger of his right hand, and he was shocked again! It turned out that the two sons looked very pleasing to be white and chubby, and their eyes had not yet opened, and they had been sleeping. But the third son had already opened his eyes and looked around, and for a while he stretched out his index finger to tease the third son, but the consequence was that Li Yuan's index finger was almost pinched off by the third son's little hand! Slowly paced to the hall and knelt down beside the Hu table. He called the housekeeper to warn his subordinates not to talk about the vision of his son's birth, and then went out on a business trip.
At this time, due to the Turkic infighting, the Turki Khan ran to Sui, took the Turki as the Khan of the people, and built a city of Dali to live in. In the court, the prince Yang Yong mysteriously disappeared, and Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was renamed the crown prince. It can be said that there are many things, and one hair affects the whole body! In this way, every time Li Yuan returned home, he came and went in a hurry, and for a while, his two sons did not choose names! The following year, her daughter was born, that is, Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang who later founded the "Women's Army"! In the fourth year, that is, in 603, the fifth son Li Yuanji was born. (This Li Yuan and Queen Dou's winning rate is really strong!) )
has not named his sons and daughters who have been born one after another for four years, and Li Yuan is also anxious. This time, I finally had time to spare, so the name was also mentioned!
In the hall of the Li Mansion, the four nurses were holding each other, waiting for Li Yuan to name them. Fourteen-year-old Li Jiancheng will look at his father for a while, and his brother and sister for a while. Although the handsome face is immature, the trace of stability can also be seen that this son is extraordinary!
Li Yuan was racking his brains to think about what to name his second son, but he couldn't think of it! Annoyed, I couldn't help but get anxious, and at this time, the next person came to report: "My lord, there is a minister outside who wants to see you." Li Yuan was stunned, and was just about to ask his subordinates to send the Xiangshi out, but his surname was generous and open-minded, and he suppressed his anxiety: "Hmm! Please come and see him! Then he let his sons go down. At this time, Li Yuanji, who was born not long ago, suddenly cried, and the nurse hurriedly walked out ahead of the other nurses. The three-year-old daughter chased after her as if she was in a hurry, but the four-year-old third son suddenly started a demonic disease, and his little hands like chicken claws held his head and shouted pain! Immediately came in, a few sturdy servants picked up the third prince and ran out quickly, it seems that this is not the first time! The eldest son, Li Jiancheng, followed closely behind, but the two sons waited for everyone to go out like little adults before bowing to Li Yuan: "Father, the child retires!" When Li Yuan nodded, he wanted to go out, but he didn't want to come to him, with an ordinary appearance, a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, stared at the second son, and saluted Li Yuan with both hands: "Congratulations, my lord!" What a noble ear! The second son also stopped and looked back at Li Yuan. Li Yuan motioned for his second son to wait there, bowed to Xiangshi, and asked suspiciously, "What are you saying?" Xiangshi kept staring at the second son and replied: "This son is twenty years old, and he will be able to help the world and the people!" Retire under the next! ”
When Li Yuan heard this, he was overjoyed and wanted to ask the following, but Xiangshi had already disappeared! Immediately recruited the subordinates: "What about the Xiangshi just now?" But the next man said, "I never saw a man go out!
Li Yuan thought to himself: "Is there really a god or a man?!" Helping the world and the people? Good! The second son will be named Shimin! Thinking of the twenty-year-old mentioned by Xiangshi, Li Yuan, who was surprised and happy, gave up the idea of looking for Xiangshi, waved away his second son and went back to the inner room to find Dou's! After seeing Dou's family, he was clear for a while, and thought of the names of the rest of the people - Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, Li Xiuning, Li Yuanji! Since the other three sons are all older, they only gave Li Yuanji a nickname - Sanhu! After hearing this, Dou also agreed to the name of the fourth son, so it was decided!
