Old Tang Book? The Legend of Huang Chao has the following record of Huang Chao's death: Lin Yan killed Huang Chao and his wife, and then took their heads to invite merit, who knew that the praying mantis caught the cicada Huang Que behind, and met Shi Pu halfway, Shi Pu was overjoyed, killed him, and then took him and Huang Chao's head to the capital to receive the reward. In 1900, Wang Yuanqi, the chief administrator of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, stumbled upon a secret cave with many scriptures hidden in the cave. Among them, there is a "Suzhou Report", which records: its grass thief Huang Chao was killed by Shang Rang, and Yu Xichuan entered the head.

In May 884, Huang Chao was raided by the Shatuo cavalry in present-day Zhongmuxi, Henan, and more than 10,000 people were sacrificed.

At this critical juncture, Shang Rang led 10,000 people to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Some speculate that Shang Rang may have killed Huang Chao in the middle of the scuffle.

There is such a record in the "Liu's Magazine" of Liu Shizhi of the Song Dynasty: There was a high monk named Cuiwei Zen Master in the Five Dynasties, and this person was Huangchao.

What's even more legendary is that Zhang Duanyi recorded in the "Guier Collection": Huangchao is a disciple, once the master of the big brake, Zen Tao is the jungle to push the weight, when he is lonely, he refers to the word Huangchao at his feet.

Wang Mingqing recorded in the fifth volume of "The Later Record of the Dust Record": On that day, Luoyang Yin Zhang Quanyi, who believed in Buddhism, went to the temple to worship the Buddha, and accidentally found that the monks from the opposite side were very familiar, and he was surprised when he looked at it. Looking at each other, Huang Chao's eyes did not reveal the surprise on Zhang Quanyi's face, but his face was calm and he walked away.

Perhaps, as stated in the Old and New Tang Books, on July 13, 884, Huang Chao had died in the Valley of the Wolf and Tiger, and a generation of heroes came to an end.

Is this the end of the story? No, far from it. Tang Xizong was in July of the fourth year. The Emperor held a ceremony of taking prisoners in the Great Xuanlou.

Shi Pu offered the head of Huangchao (perhaps as his stand-in), and there were twenty or thirty concubines of Huangchao. Xi Zong asked, "You Cao are all noble children." What is a thief when the world receives the grace of the country? The woman at the head replied, "The thief is rebellious." With millions of people, the country lost its sect and sowed Ba and Shu.

Now His Majesty can't refuse a thief to blame a woman, where is the general of the minister! "If you don't ask again, you will be killed in the city. Pro

Before the execution, the law enforcement officers took pity on the women and made them drunk before they were executed, and the girls cried and drank at the same time, and soon died in a drunken bed. Only the woman at the head did not cry or get drunk, and died calmly.

Those things that have to do with salutations

Next, we will introduce Tang Xizong. Xizong is his temple name, and his nickname is: Huisheng Gongding Xiao Emperor. But before that, let me popularize the knowledge related to temple names, nicknames, and year names.

After the death of a person with a certain status, according to their life deeds and moral cultivation, the praise and disapproval are evaluated, and a title with a kind evaluation and a judgmental nature is given.

In the later period, the power of conferral was highly concentrated in the hands of the emperor. It depends on the "Holy Judgment".

The title of the emperor is generally announced by the emperor who agrees with the official and approved by the successor emperor, and the title of the minister is given by the imperial court. The name comes from the law, which stipulates a number of words with fixed meanings.

It is roughly divided into three categories: those who belong to praise are: Wen, Wu, Jing, Lie, Zhao, Mu, etc.; Those who are criticized are: Yang, Li, Ling, etc.; Those who belong to sympathy are: mourning, nostalgia, sorrow, mourning, etc. The former is called the upper and the best; The middle one is called the middle one; The latter is called the Lower Commandment. Bad scolding; In addition, Sun Quan is a special case, and his nickname is the Emperor, which is unique in China.

The temple number is the name of the ancient Chinese emperor who was posthumously honored when he set up a shrine in the temple after his death. In ancient times. The temple numbers of ancestors, ancestors, emperors and kings are strictly distinguished, and they are clearly distinguished. Ancestors and ancestors are not the titles given to themselves by contemporary emperors. It is the temple number that the emperors of later generations posthumously sealed the previous emperor.

The main difference between the ancestral temple number and the Zongmiao number is that the ancestral temple number refers to the temple number used by the emperor of the previous dynasty to open the country or unify the recovery of territory, while the Zongmiao number is only the normal posthumous seal of the emperor of the previous dynasty by the emperor of the later dynasty. Like the Tang Dynasty, there was only one ancestor of Tang Gaozu.

In the five dynasties, there were Later Liang Taizu, Later Jin Gaozu, Later Han Gaozu, Later Zhou Taizu, and later Tang Li Cunqiao because he claimed to be a descendant of the Tang Dynasty royal family, so he still used the temple name of Tangzhuang "Zong".

From the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, there was only one ancestral temple number of Song Taizu, and the minority Liaojin was still like this, but after the Yuan Dynasty, two ancestral temple numbers began to appear.

One is the Yuan Taizu only Jin Temujin, that is, Genghis Khan, and the other is the Yuan Shizu only Jin Kublai Khan. Temujin was posthumously named the Ancestral Temple because he unified the Mongol tribes.

Kublai Khan was posthumously awarded the title of Ancestral Temple because he unified the Central Plains and became the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to rule the Central Plains. The Ming Dynasty also had two ancestors, one was Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty

There is no need to argue, and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was posthumously named the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty because he sent Zheng He to the Western Ocean seven times and laid the maritime territory of the Chinese nation. In the Qing Dynasty, the phenomenon of the three ancestors appeared.

One is the Qing Taizu Aixinjue Luo Nurhachi, the other is the Qing Shizu Aixinjue Luo Fulin, the other is the Qing Shengzu Aixinjue Luo Xuanye, Nurhachi unified the Jurchen tribes, Huang Taiji posthumously named him the Qing Taizu, Fulin was the first to enter Beijing and unify the country,

Therefore, Emperor Kangxi posthumously named him the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Xuanye of Kangxi was mainly because he recovered Taiwan and realized the unification of the territory of China, so the Yongzheng Emperor Yinzhen posthumously crowned his father Kangxi as the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty, there were several "emperor" temple numbers that came back, namely Li Zhu, Emperor Li Zhu of the Later Liang Dynasty, Li Conghou, Emperor Min of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke, Emperor Shi Chonggui of the Later Jin Dynasty, Liu Chengyou, Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty

It is easy to see that these "emperors" who appeared in the five dynasties are all the kings of the dead country, and after that, the posthumous seal of the emperor temple number is the unique patent of the king of the dead country, and ordinary people really have no right to use it. Therefore, after the Tang Dynasty, "Zu" and "Emperor" are two opposing temple numbers, the ancestral temple number is the representative of the unified country, and the emperor temple number is the representative of the lost country.

Emperor Gong Zhao Xian of the Song Dynasty lost most of the Song Dynasty, and after his brother Zhao Yu ascended the throne, he posthumously named him the Emperor Temple. The reason why Zhu Youzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was not posthumously awarded the emperor temple number was because the four kings of the Southern Ming Dynasty at that time were proclaimed emperors in Jiangnan, and his descendants posthumously named him Ming Sizong, so. He, the last emperor, was spared the Imperial Temple.

By the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the political aspects of the Chinese people were no longer on the temple number. Therefore, the last monarch of the feudal dynasty, Aixinjue Luo Puyi, no one added a temple number to him. Therefore, he and Wang Mang are the only monarchs in the Chinese feudal dynasty who have not been posthumously awarded the title of temple.

Generally speaking, the choice of the temple number does not refer to the law, but it also has the meaning of praise and disapproval. Taizu and Gaozu opened the country's business, and Shizu and Taizong carried it forward.

Sejong and Gojong are the lords of the order, Renzong, Seonjong, Shengzong, Xiaozong, Chengzong, Ruizong, etc. are all the lords of the Ming monarch, and Zhongzong and Xianzong are the lords of Zhongxing, in addition. Zhezong, Xingzong, etc. were all good emperors who made a difference.

Shenzong and Yingzong are insufficient, Dezong and Ningzong are too cowardly, Xuanzong, Zhenzong, Lizong, and Taoism like Xuanxuan, Wenzong is not literate, Wuzong is not martial, and the name is praised and depreciated, Muzong and Jingzong are considerably meritorious, Guangzong and Xizong are mediocre and rotten, and Mourning Sect and Sizong can only perish. And the character of Tang Xizong, which we are going to talk about here, has the meaning of happy in the Chinese dictionary, so. The gentlemen can see Tang Xizong and his people.

The era name is the name used for the year. It is generally initiated by the emperor, but there are also those commemorated by the name of the country. Originated in China, it was later used in Japan, Vietnam, Korea during the Korean Empire, and in the early years of Goryeo and Mongolia.

In the history of China. The first era name appeared in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and the era name was Jianyuan. Since then, each time a new emperor ascends the throne. It is common to change the year and the name of the era at the same time. Generally, the change of yuan is counted from the second year of the edict. There are also some from the middle of the year. The era name is considered a sign of imperial orthodoxy and is called "Fengzheng Shuo".

One regime uses the era name of another. It is considered to be one of the symbols of vassalage and submission.

Here are a few more trivia things to keep everyone entertained. The emperor with the longest number of words in China's nickname is the Qing Taizu Nurhachi, 25 characters,

For: Chengtian Guangyun Shengde Shengong Zhao Ji Li Ji Ji The queen with the longest nickname is Cixi, with 23 words, for "Xiaoqin Cixi Duanyou Kang Yi Zhaoyu Zhuang Chengshou Gongqin Xian Chongxi with Tianxing Shengxian Empress".

However, in this regard, the Chinese are not the best, the most bullish is a very good imitation of the people, they learned the Chinese dynasty name culture, and then the blue is better than the blue, this famous ethnic group is the Korean nation Smecta.

The most famous reigning king in the history of the world was Gojong Yi Hee of the Lee Dynasty of Korea, who broke away from China with the help of Japan and became independent of the Korean Empire, proclaiming himself emperor, but let's call him king. His nickname has 59 characters.

For: Tongtian Longyun Zhaoji Dunlun Zheng Shengguang Yiming Gong Dade Yao Jun Shun Hui Yu Mo Tang Jing Ying Ji Zhi Shen Lie Wei Xun Hong Ye Qiji Xuanli Qianxing Kun Ding Yingyi Hong Xiu Kang Wen Xian Wu Zhang Renyi Zhen Xiao Tai Emperor. However, he is not the most, the first place is the name of Wenzu (the original Yizong, not reigning when he was alive) posthumously sealed by Li Xi as the emperor, 104 words,

For: Ti Yuan Zanhua Xi Ji Destiny Shengxian Ying Zhe Rui Cheng Yuan Jing Longde Chun Gong Du Xiu Hongqing Hongyun Sheng Lie Xuan Guang Jun Xiang Yao Qin Shun Gong Yu Qin Tang Zheng Qi Tian Jiantong Shenxun Su Mo Gan Da Kun Hou Guangye Yongzuo Zhuang Yi Zhanglun Xingjian Pei Ning Ji Tai Chui Yu Xi Fan Changxi Li Jing Heng Dao Cheng Xian Zhao Zhang Zhi Zhongda and Ji Li Li Ji Ji Gang Chui Jing Mu Jun Hui Yan Zhi Dun Wen Xian Wu Ren Yi Xiaoming King.

It's amazing, such a long paragraph, no sentences, no meaning, no grammar, the ceremonial officials at that time should have a headache when they read it out at the sacrifice, if they haven't learned to slip through the mouth, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to pick it up in one breath and choke to death. Regarding the era name, the one who changed the era name the most was Empress Wu Zetian, who reigned for fifteen years.

Changed the yuan seventeen times, that is to say, there are seventeen era names, it seems that even if she becomes the emperor, she can't change the fickle nature of women. The longest number of words in the era is Xixia Jingzong's "Heavenly Gift Rite Law Yanzuo" and Xixia Huizong's "Heavenly Gift Ceremony Sheng National Day", both of which are 6 words, and I don't know what these barbarians thought at the time, such an era name,

But the people who study history are pitted, and the young readers are not smooth. The most frequent change of the year name is Emperor Hui of Jin, in the year of 304 AD, the first month of the first month with "Yong'an", July changed to "Jianwu",

November reuse "Yong'an", December and then change to "Yongxing", a total of 4 years in a year, the history books record that Emperor Jin Hui is demented and does not do anything, look at the frequency of this change of era name you can see, people who don't know still think that there are four emperors in a year.

The shortest use of the era name is the end of the Jin Dynasty Emperor Wanyan Chenglin, in 1234 he changed the Yuan "Shengchang", used less than a day, the Jin Dynasty perished, it seems, what to call can not change the fate of a dynasty and a person. The longest used era name is the Qing Sage Ancestor Xuanye,

As long as it is attributed to his longevity, Emperor Kangxi reigned for 61 years, so "Kangxi" has become the longest-used era name in Chinese history.

Tang Xizong

Before we begin, let's look at a resume:

Name: Li Yi

Former name: Li Yan

Temple number: Tang Xizong

Gender: Male

Major Experiences:

Born in 862 A.D.

In 873 AD, he was made the crown prince and ascended the throne in the same year.

In 874 AD, Wang Xianzhi and Huangchao Cao Pu raised troops.

In 880 AD, the rebel army invaded Chang'an, and Li Yi fled from Chang'an and arrived in Chengdu in 881 AD.

In 883 AD, Huangchao withdrew from Chang'an.

In 885 AD, he returned to Chang'an, and in the same year, he was forced to leave Chang'an by the eunuch Tian Lingzi.

In 888 AD, he returned to Chang'an again, and in the same year, he died in Wude Palace.

If he followed the normal procedure, Li Yu would not be able to be the emperor, not only could he not be the emperor, but he would not be able to take his turn, because there were five people in front of him who were queuing up. Of course, if you can be an emperor,

Li Yi said that it doesn't count, his father Tang Yizong said it doesn't count, the person who has the final say is a eunuch, commonly known as a ladyboy. The phenomenon of the dictatorship of eunuchs at the end of the Tang Dynasty was very serious, and the emperor became a puppet, and the puppet was forgotten, and he had to play with his life if he was not careful. Whoever is allowed to come to power, the eunuch has the final say, and who is let go of power has the final say, and who is let die is also the eunuch who has the final say.

At this time, the eunuch gave the emperor a couplet, the upper couplet is: If you say you can do it, you can do it, and the lower couplet is: If you say no, you can't do it, and you can't do it.

The emperor immediately added a horizontal batch: If you don't accept it, you can't do it. The eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty took power from the time of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, when Gao Lishi was favored and often reviewed the chapter for the emperor.

Discretion can be exercised in trivial matters, Prime Minister Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong want to slap him, and the crown prince Li Heng even calls him the second brother intimately.

Don't feel ashamed, the little brother who can become a tall eunuch is someone who can afford you, and ordinary people can't be if they want to. However, Colliers is quite kind, although he is in power, he is still loyal,

But the later eunuchs gradually lost the traditional virtues of the older generation of eunuch class. Li Fuguo, the great eunuch of Tang Suzong and Daizong, was authoritarian and domineering, and Emperor Suzong had to look at his face every day. As soon as Su Zong died, he said to Daizong, who had just ascended the throne: "Everyone is forbidden, and foreign affairs are subject to the punishment of the old slave." (To be continued......)
