Chapter 244: Lingnan Feng Family
Li Xiao bowed and expressed his gratitude to Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
King Chu, that is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, that is the title that only the relatives of the Tang Emperor can obtain. For example, during the period of Emperor Taishang, only the three sons of Emperor Taishang: Li Shimin, King of Qin, Li Yuanba, King of Zhao, and King Yuanji of Qi could be named the prince of Zhengyipin, and even several other sons of Emperor Taishang did not have this qualification, let alone Li Xiaogong, the cousin of Emperor Taishang, who was the cousin of today's son. If he hadn't contributed 35 million stone of grain today, and had not turned the more than 200,000 elites in the south of the Tang Dynasty who followed him to the south and the north into farmers who were no threat and only knew how to cultivate the fields, Li Xiaogong would not have had the opportunity to achieve such a high position as the King of Chu in his life. As for the official position of being crowned as the captain of the Tang Dynasty, in charge of the country's military, Li Xiaogong could only smile bitterly in his heart, in front of today, the Tang Dynasty emperor who has been in charge of military power for a long time, he still wants to really grasp the military power, which is simply wishful thinking. The army can only be truly controlled by one person, and that person is definitely not himself, Li Xiaogong, the king of Chu, but can only be Li Shimin, the son of today. However, Li Xiaogong was still very satisfied with the reward of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. I was not good at politics in the first place, and I had no political ambitions. It is enough to be crowned a high position and enjoy wealth and prosperity, but now that you have obtained all of them, what more can you ask for?
The Tang Emperor Li Shimin immediately ordered Shangshu's left servant to shoot, Shangshu Shangshu Fang Xuanling, Shangshu's right servant to shoot, and Shangshu Du Ruhui to send 10 million stone grain sent by Li Xiaogong, the king of Chu, to various places as soon as possible to relieve the victims, and transport another 25 million stone grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the granary of Datang as soon as possible for storage and protection.
The entire Taiji Palace and Hongwen Hall are busy again. Busy though. But all had a smile on their faces and hope. Soon, the grain was transported from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to the disaster areas in various places, and the disaster situation in the whole world was alleviated.
The imperial capital of Chang'an, Si Tiantai.
Si Tiantai is located on the highest plateau in the east of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Si Tiantai was first built in the Han Dynasty and has been through several wars. Damaged. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Wude was renovated, and there were bronze armillary spheres, geodynamic instruments, simple instruments, Gui watches and other instruments, which were used to observe astronomy and calendars, and all the differences in the sun, moon and stars, wind and clouds, and complexion were all under its supervision.
Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhao County and the governor of Jingzhou, was crowned as the king of Chu, and the Tang Dynasty was in charge of the national military. Si Tiantai supervisor Yuan Tiangang sighed with emotion: "How can Li Xiaogong have such a fate? How could he be promoted? According to his fate, he should be under house arrest in his own house at this time. His fate has changed, is it because of Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an? How did Li Xuan deduce that there was a food crisis in Datang five years ago? He asked Li Xiaogong to lead more than 200,000 elite troops in the south to Tuntian. In response to today's food crisis, he is doing something against the sky, and he actually succeeded in saving countless people in Datang, how is this possible? How could God allow him to do that? So against the sky? Could it be that Li Xuan is just like the Taiqing sage Lao Tzu said in the "Tao Te Ching", "the avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and the people escape one" The avenue has fifty, so as to become the number of Zhou Tian. But according to various circumstances, only forty-nine can be deduced. The remaining one is inscrutable, inferred. Which one is a variable, could it be that Li Xuan is that variable, his appearance can change the original trajectory of things, the original ending? ”
Yuan Tiangang looked pensive and stopped speaking for a long time.
The food crisis in Datang has just been resolved. The people of Datang were able to survive because of the arrival of food. In the Taiji Palace, a minister reported to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the Lingnan Feng family is reversed!" ”
The Lingnan Feng family is the most powerful family in the Lingnan region of the Tang Dynasty. The Lingnan Feng family has actually controlled the entire Lingnan for three hundred years. It has always controlled the Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan Island areas of Datang. The entire Tang Dynasty has a deep fear of the Lingnan Feng family, Lingnan is only nominally owned by the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it is owned by the Lingnan Feng family, and Lingnan is quite a border with the south that the entire Tang Dynasty actually controls. Once the Lingnan Feng family has bad intentions, starting from any point on the border, it can threaten the entire southern part of the Tang Dynasty.
In the second year of Taiyan of the Northern Wei Dynasty (436 AD), Northern Yan was invaded by Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty (Tao), and Feng Hong, the monarch of Northern Yan, fled to Goguryeo, and at the same time, Feng Hong sent his son Feng Ye to lead 300 children of the imperial family across the sea, and arrived in Xinhui in Guangzhou by boat from Youzhou to join the Liu Song regime in the south at that time.
After arriving in Xinhui, Guangzhou, the Liu Song court crowned Feng Ye as the Marquis of Huaihua and granted the history of Luozhou Thorn, and the Lingnan Feng family took root in Lingnan since then, and Feng Ye became the founder of the Lingnan Feng family.
When Feng Ye's grandsons, the Duke of Song Kangjun of Southern Liang and Gao Liang, were guarding Feng Bao, Feng Bao married Xian Baihe, the daughter of Xian Laishan, the largest tribal leader of the local Slang clan (i.e., the later Zhuang clan). And this slang woman named Xian Baihe is the famous Mrs. Xian in Chinese history.
When Mrs. Xian was young, she was taught martial arts and strategy by different people, and she was not only able to fight the enemy with a strong bow and a sharp blade, but also knew how to march and fight, and enjoyed high prestige among the tribes of Lingnan.
When Mrs. Xian was twenty years old, Feng Rong (Feng Bao's father), the then Luozhou Thorn Shi Feng Rong (Feng Bao's father), and Xian Laishan had a good relationship and were each other's confidants.
Once the two of them drank together, they were both drunk, Feng Rong smiled and said to Xian Laishan: "I have a dog, you have a tiger girl, I don't know if you are willing to bow down?" ”
Xian Laishan also replied with a smile: "If you are not afraid of driving dogs into the tiger's mouth, then I will have nothing to say." ”
With that, the two looked at each other for a while, clapping their palms and laughing.
Soon Mrs. Xian married into the Lingnan Feng family and became the wife of Feng Bao, the new head of the Lingnan Feng family. Under the assistance and auspices of Mrs. Xian, the Lingnan Feng family has developed rapidly, not only bringing Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan Island into the sphere of influence of the Lingnan Feng family, but also protecting the territory and the people. Therefore, Mrs. Xian is also known as "Our Lady" by the people of all ethnic groups in the territory.
After Emperor Wen of Sui destroyed Nan Chen, he sent envoys to appease the Feng family in Lingnan, and Mrs. Xian, who was 88 years old at the time, personally put on armor and held a sword, commanding all the officials of the six states of Lingnan, and the leaders of various ethnic groups and tribes in Lingnan greeted the envoy of Emperor Wen of Sui, entered Lingnan, and took the initiative to present the map of the mountains and rivers of the six states of Lingnan to Emperor Wen of Sui to show his submission.
