As the Great Sui Taiyuan Guard, Li Yuan was in charge of the northern frontier of the Great Sui Empire, which can be described as a high authority.

However, when it comes to Li Yuan, everyone may be both familiar and unfamiliar. As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his predecessor (Yang Guang, the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who was known for his tyranny) and his successor (Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was known as the first emperor of the ages, was known as the emperor of the ages) were all well-known to women and children all over the world, but it seems that this founder is a little unknown between these two great people. It is recorded in the history books that Li Yuan's background is not ordinary, and he is a typical official >

Defei said with a little spittle. Strive not to talk nonsense, to be simple. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Li Hui, the founding emperor of the Western Liang Kingdom, was the ancestor of Li Yuan's classmates, and Li Wei thought that his ancestor was Li Guang, the general of the Han Dynasty, which is a bit ridiculous. Li Wei gave birth to a son, Li Xin, Li Xin was a terminator, and the Western Liang Kingdom was destroyed by the Northern Liang that rose later.

After the destruction of the country, Li Xin's son Li Chong'er ran away and fled to the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. Li Chonger gave birth to a son, Li Tianci. Li Tianci gave birth to the eldest son, Li Hu. This Li Hu is the grandfather of Gaozu Li Yuan. The genealogy of the Li Tang royal family was constantly revised, and by the time of Gaozong Li Zhi, the founder of Taoism, Laozi Li Er, was corrected and respected as the ancestor by Li Tang.

It's really a strong combination, it is estimated that Lao Tzu has knowledge underground, and when he sees his descendants becoming emperors, he should also smile.

This is also easy to understand, similar to the current popularity of repairing family trees, but then again, if you can't find a job and can't even have a round stomach, even if your ancestral surname is Aixin Jueluo and even the current national leaders have a little bit of a side in the surname, how can you have the heart to fix this with green glasses?

Go on! Li Tang himself advertised that he was from the Emperor Gaoyang's family, and at the time of Tang Yao, the Gaoyang family had a son named Tingjian, whose official residence was "Dali", because he called himself Li's, this Li later became Li.

finally hooked up, it's hard for their old Li family, it's not easy. Playing with fate is nothing more than leaning in the direction of Tang Yao, with one purpose: to highlight this Tang Yao's "Tang", to fool the people, and to think that Li Tang won the world in response to God's will.

What about the real history? The historian Chen Yinke has some research, and Mr. believes that "Li Tang may be from the broken settlement of the Han nationality in Zhao County, or the 'fake brand' of the surname Guang Ashu in the neighboring city, which is not a Huasheng sect, so it is gradually dyed with vulgarity and an indecent name." ”

A small family in Zhao County, Hebei Province, the Central Plains couldn't go down to the border to fight and gain military merits, so they mixed with the Hu people and made a fortune by fists. That's it, it's not that mysterious. With power, like the current big money, it is not surprising that the ancestral hall and ancestral tomb are repaired to play with the myth of their ancestors.

Anyway, when it came to Grandpa Li Hu, the old Li family turned over. In the later period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, hundreds of years of war and turmoil and ethnic integration in the land of China became the general trend.

Just as capitalists are needed to develop the economy now, national reunification needs to be fought, and a clique of military aristocrats with hard fists has grown.

It is also a long story, during the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Xianbei Tuoba tribe established the Central Plains Dynasty, with the capital of Pingcheng (now Datong, Shanxi), but from the nomadic lifestyle to the agricultural lifestyle, it was a systematic project. It's not just a simple change in the material way of life such as moving from a tent to a big tiled house and replacing beef and mutton with white rice.

It also involves changes in soft institutions such as language, clothing, customs, culture, religion, and institutions.

If the regime is in a safe corner, it will be fine. But the strongman Zheng zhì family Tuoba Hong was born, this fierce brother successfully ascended the throne in 471, but that year he was still a 5-year-old hairy child, the open crotch pants had not been taken off, and the power was concentrated in the hands of his grandmother Empress Dowager Feng. But this Empress Dowager Feng is Han, so Tuoba Hong's classmates were deeply influenced by sinicization at a very young age.

After becoming pro-government, Comrade Tuoba Hong did a lot of work on ethnic integration and historical progress, among which the far-reaching impact was the relocation (relocation of the capital).

For the new reform, of course, the old nobles of Xianbei opposed the boss, the representative figure is the prince Yuan Sui (Tuoba Hong changed his surname to Yuan for the sinicization), the fierce Comrade Tuoba Hong did not hesitate to slaughter the prince Yuan Sui to remove obstacles, and finally moved the capital successfully in 494 AD, and set the capital Luoyang.

It promoted national integration and social progress, but the strange thing is that Emperor Wen's reform, which has been a great achievement for thousands of years, soon killed the empire. Forty years later, the giant of the Northern Wei Dynasty finally collapsed. If you don't reform, maybe you can live a long life in a corner or steal your life, and you will soon return to the West by tossing and playing with your life every day.

What logic! Go on! The biggest problem of reform, especially the relocation of the capital, was the border crisis. In the face of the continuous invasion of the northern nomads (Rouran at that time), the Northern Wei Dynasty built six military towns along the border, which were filled by meritorious heroes, and gave high-ranking officials Houlu in return, in order to ensure the security of the empire.

However, the relocation of the capital completely changed the situation, and as the economic and cultural center of the empire moved south, the influence of the six major military towns continued to weaken, and the treatment naturally came down.

The question of nationality and the question of treatment are deeply entangled. The generals of the military towns who lived on the border line and carried guns had a strict gap and conflict with the important officials of the imperial court who sat in the office and shook the pen in the capital Luoyang. The pen commands the gun, and he takes more money than us. Why? If the person with the gun is not satisfied, the consequences will naturally be very severe.

Several times of rebellion, riots, and under the impact of various warlords represented by Wuchuan Town, the Sinicized regime of the Northern Wei Dynasty finally came to an end.

These war specialists dominated northern China, eventually forming the Eastern Wei and Western Wei dynasties, and then evolving into the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties, and finally the Northern Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong unified northern China in 577 AD.

Tens of thousands of words of killing and bloodshed are omitted here. Several dynasties changed, each leading the way for decades (including Yang Jian, who later usurped Zhou Jiansui), but the only constant was that the generals of the Wuchuan military town still held the core of the regime.

This is the known Guanlong aristocratic group, the famous in history, the grandfather of Li Yuan, the protagonist Li Yuan, who is talking about today, is also the core backbone of this group. After so much rambling, it's only now that I'm officially talking.

There is no right or wrong in political struggles, there are only intrigues and ruthlessness, and of course, luck comes first. Because Comrade Li Hu participated in the usurpation of Wei Jian and Zhou Zheng by Quan Chen Yuwentai, he followed the right person and stood on the right team.

Yuwentai was meritorious in supporting Emperor Wei Wen, and the Eight Pillars State was reshuffled. Speaking of this Eight Pillars State, it has a great origin, it is the main gate valve that originated from the feudal situation in China two hundred years after the influence of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Guanlong military aristocratic group formed by the Eight Pillars State gradually stepped onto the stage of history, and gradually replaced the Kwantung Wang clan in eastern China, which has a profound impact on the formation of Chinese culture, politics and national character.

Without further ado, let's take a look at the new list of members of the Eight Pillars this time in the third year of the Great Unification. Let's not talk about the royal family, it's an ornament. I picked a few of the really powerful ones to show my brothers: this first one is Comrade Yuwentai, the founding boss of the Western Wei Dynasty.

It's a bit annoying to publish the title, so be patient and take a look. The envoys, the Taishi, the great general of the Pillar Kingdom, the Otsuka Zai, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, and the founding prince of Anding County are almost the same as all the lords who want to usurp the throne in history. The second is the Li Hu brothers.

Envoy Jie, Tai Lieutenant, General of Zhu State, Governor of Dadu, Longyou Xingtai, Young Master, Founding Duke of Longxi County. The third also said a little, Li Bi, the great-grandfather of the black boy hero Li Mi. Envoy Jie, General of Zhuguo, Governor of Dadu, Great Zongbo, Founding Duke of Zhao County, Wei Jin of Zhou Dynasty Feng Zhao Guogong.

The fourth belongs to the VIP among the cattle - Comrade Duguxin. Envoy Jie, General of Zhuguo, Governor of Dadu, Grand Sima, Dugu Xin, the founding prince of Hanoi County (his third daughter was the queen of the Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang dynasties), and Wei Jin of the Zhou Dynasty was crowned the Duke of Guo.

With a little spit, I would like to introduce you to this Dugu master. I want to talk about this Dugu Xin (formerly known as Dugu Ruyi), but a character, this person is famous for being too handsome, personable, and the famous side hat ** handsome guy in history is talking about this master. In addition, this buddy is also very righteous and faithful, for which he was given a name letter by the boss Yu Wentai, and he was a high-ranking and famous person in the Northern and Southern Dynasties from Wei to Zhou.

But Mr. Dugu's most successful thing is not how capable he is or how capable he is, the key is that he gave birth to three good daughters, and the three daughters also married well. Married to a big money?

At that time, people were not interested in doing business, and they were farmers and industrialists, making a lot of money in business, and being an official was a good profession for the right stocks, which was similar to working hard to enter the yamen now. However, the three daughters of the family are not only married to members of the yamen, but also top civil servants. Stand still and see.

All three daughters are married to the emperor! The eldest daughter married Emperor Yu Wenyu of the Ming Dynasty of the Northern Zhou Dynasty; The fourth daughter married Li Yuan's father Li Yu (Wu Dechu was posthumously honored by his son Li Yuan Emperor); The seventh daughter, Dugu Jialuo, married Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty.

And Yang Jian's father, Yang Zhong, is slightly worse than the above group of cattle people, and after the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was named the pillar country, the general, and the prince of the country.

How's that, it's amazing. On the one hand, the military aristocracy of Guanlong, who rose in Wuchuan Town, became a high-ranking elite group by virtue of their military exploits, and at the same time, they continued to enrich and strengthen their families through marriage, from the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang dynasties to China's feudal dynasties for more than 200 years, creating a new aristocratic era, which is rare in Chinese history and even world history.

There are very few records in the history books that Li Yuan's father, Comrade Li Yu, is very rare, and it is estimated that this son-in-law is also bland, and under the protection of the door, he was the governor of Anzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the general of the Zhu Kingdom. But sometimes a person's success has nothing to do with their ability and knowledge, sometimes it is not that the stronger the ability, the higher the position, you are admitted to a good university, not necessarily have a good future. Hehe, spelling dad was also popular in that era.

Although Li Yu is not good, he has a prominent background and good in-laws, he married the fourth daughter of Dugu Xin's handsome guy, and Yang Jian and Emperor Yu Wenyu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty as a brother-in-law. Just like now, your wife and the mother of the country are sisters, if you think about it, then you must be one step to the sky, and it is a luxury to want to be a common man. Whether these people are pieces of material or not, they are born to be officials.

This Li Hao's second achievement, and perhaps the greatest achievement in this life, is to give birth to an emperor, and he is the founding emperor! The one who gave birth to this song is buddy, and I will talk about the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. The conspirators are here.

What the hell is this Li Yuan a god horse-like person? There are many sayings in history. In fact, a character with a head and face is multifaceted in history. Don't talk about historical figures, even the people around you are also multifaceted in your eyes, this person has not passed away, and our views on him are mixed, let alone thousands of years later.

Over time, many events have been deformed. The reason why history is multifaceted is that the viewer stands from different angles and the starting point of looking at the problem is different. What to say in what position and position. Brother, I tried my best not to wear colored glasses and not to add personal preferences to Comrade Li Yuan.

&Tang Shu" and "Zizhi Tongjian" both believe that Li Yuan started under the persuasion and even coercion of the people around him. believes that the real mastermind and initiator of the uprising is his second son, that is, the future Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin.

said that Li Shimin did not hesitate to go to the prison to release the prisoner Jinyang in order to coerce his father to get into trouble, and Liu Wenjing took Li Yuan's close friend Pei Lian, the deputy supervisor of Jinyang Palace, and then dug a pit for Li Yuan and set up a bureau.

asked Pei Lin to drink and play with women with Li Yuan, and afterwards told Li Yuan that you played with a woman who shouldn't be playing. You are playing with your cousin's woman, although it is your own family, but your cousin Yang Guang is the emperor. Playing the Emperor's Woman Cuckolding the Emperor? That's "great disrespect!" ”。

According to Sui Law, it is the ten heinous crimes, killing the head is a must, and there is hope for a whole corpse to fight for it, you can do it.

Li Yuan was dumbfounded, there was no way, let's fight with my cousin Yang Guang. Since then, he has started the arduous road of entrepreneurs, and finally became the emperor under the southern and northern wars of the second son Li Shimin and a fierce man. According to this statement, Li Yuan, as the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is simply synonymous with waste, at most a puppet.

What's even funnier is that this kind of argument is quite marketable among the people and even among some scholars. But I think it's all those alley aunts and bird walkers who buy vegetables are idle at the street gate. In a word, that's nothing. There are several reasons for this: First, who writes history? Of course, it was the victor who wrote history, which is the tradition of Chinese feudal history.

Therefore, Mr. Liang Qichao said that the 24 histories are actually the 24 family histories. Mr. Liang has a point. We must not be superstitious about history books, and we must find out really useful things in the vast historical materials, which requires professional qualifications.

According to records, the compilation of this history was during the Zhenguan period of Taizong, and the historical materials at that time were all compiled and written by Chu Suiliang, Linghu Dedi, Xu Jingzong and other people, which were all completed under the direct leadership of the emperor.

It is recorded in the history books that Li Shimin can directly ask the living room Chu Suiliang to show the "Living Note" and guide the compilation of the history books.

is like the director of the political research office in the unit, the hat and the small life are pinched in the hands of the hand, who do you listen to? Play your own straight book?

It's not very easy. Especially Xu Jingzong, who directly completed the "Record" of Wude and Zhenguan dynasties in eight years, although this buddy is also a good emperor and a teacher of the history of the country, but his character is not flattering, he is a political opportunist, and recruiting power and bribing and messing up historical materials is this buddy's strength.

Then it became clear later that the "Old Tang Book", which was written in the Later Jin Dynasty, was completely based on the previous historical materials; When Mr. Song Qi and Mr. Ouyang Xiu of the Northern Song Dynasty revised the "New Tang Dynasty Book" again, they continued to make mistakes, and it is not surprising that Mr. Sima compiled the "Zizhi Tongjian" and continued this statement.

What is the truth of history? Fortunately, we have other evidence. According to another historical book, "Datang Entrepreneurship and Living Note", the history of the Jinyang Incident is quite different from the above three historical books. I foolishly thought that this book was still very valuable. First, we look at the author of the book and the background in which it was written.

The author, Comrade Wen Daya, was born in 572 at the end of the Northern Qi Dynasty and died in 629 in the third year of Zhenguan.

In addition, judging from the authorship, Wen Daya was Li Yuan's account of joining the army when he was left behind in Taiyuan, and he was in charge of confidential work such as document drafting. It is equivalent to a confidential secretary and secretary general of the staff of the Taiyuan Military Region, so it should be more convincing to understand the period of the Jinyang uprising.

Therefore, from the perspective of the historical period of the book and the author's working environment, Wen Daya's "Datang Entrepreneurship and Living Note" should be more credible and closer to the original historical appearance. That's it! Okay, let's slowly uncover the true face of this master.
