Five generations changed, ten kingdoms were in turmoil, and the Khitan did not count. Tang lost the deer, the hero bent his waist, and won the weight.

Fourteen emperors succeeded and failed, and fifty-three years of blood and fire. The song was dispersed, and the Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou dynasties were attributed to the Song Dynasty.

The dynasty is Qin, and the twilight belongs to Chu; Once it will become, ten thousand bones will wither. Rise and fall are bitter, and chaos leaves people's lives like grass.

If you sing and I appear, it will be someone else's wedding dress. In the end, Zhu Lishi and Liu Guo are as good as Zhao.

It is rumored that on the third day of the third month of the third month of a certain year in the Tianli calendar, it coincided with the birthday of the Queen Mother Niangniang, and the Jade Emperor was very happy, so he held a gala party in the Pan Tao Garden, inviting the gods of the Three Realms, the Dragon King of the Four Seas, the scattered immortals from all walks of life, and the duties of the priests in the heavenly court, gathered the gods with heads and faces, and came together to make a birthday for the Queen Mother. On that day, the stars and big names in the entertainment industry in the kingdom of heaven were also present, and they all performed for the queen mother, like the "Four Heavenly Kings", "Front Street Boys", and "Super Men and Fast Women", all of which were present, and the performance lineup was very luxurious, and the atmosphere was also very hot.

However, at this time, Tai Bai Xing, who was seated in the front row, suddenly cried, and the Jade Emperor felt very strange, because this day was the birthday of the Queen Mother, and it was a very happy day. How could it make him cry? So he asked: "Taibai Aiqing!" What is your situation now? Why cry? This is very discordant with the atmosphere in front of you! You are an old minister of the country, you can ask for anything, and the government will help you solve any difficulties, so don't destroy stability and unity here! ”

Tai Bai Xing wiped away his tears and said, "Your Majesty, I am so old, and the country has given me such a high treatment. What more could I not be satisfied with? I'm sorry for those creatures in the Nether! Now the kingdom of heaven is very good and strong, you see what is on this table. Donkey meat roasted, xiaolong buns, dragon shou hand, fat rice noodles, and pork stewed vermicelli over there. Eat whatever is delicious. But now the Nether is too chaotic, and those poor human beings can't even eat people, and they have to go to war every day, which is really pitiful. Then he wept on the side.

The Jade Emperor was taken aback when he heard this, and said in surprise: "That's not right! I've already grasped the situation you're talking about, but I've sent the God of War down to clean up the situation a long time ago, and it's been a while since then, so why hasn't he taken care of the following things? ”

Tai Bai Xing sighed after hearing this: "Alas! The god of war is corrupt! Originally, when he just went down. can still do what His Majesty asks, but unfortunately, after he calmed down the war, his style of life began to corrupt and degenerate, no longer pursuing progress, soaking with those actors in the Nether all day long, not caring about national affairs at all, and now he has been killed by the rebels! ”

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he was furious, stood up suddenly, and said indignantly: "These cadres. It's really not easy for me to worry, I'm honest on it, and if I go down, I'll do nonsense, and I can't have some rules. What about the God of War? See how I clean him up. ”

Tai Bai Xing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty temporarily rests the wrath of the thunder, the God of War has now run away because he failed to complete the task. Right now is the most chaotic world in the mortal world. Stargazing at night, this catastrophe has not yet come to an end. If Your Majesty does not make a decision at the right time, he will send the generals down. I'm afraid that in the end, it will really not end. ”

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor temporarily suppressed his anger, but he was very hesitant in his heart, as if he was talking to himself: "I really didn't expect that things in the Nether Realm are so difficult to manage. But who should we send? The honest are incapable, and the capable are not honest, which really bothers me! ”

Tai Bai Xing said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, those human beings in the Nether Realm are all some beings who exist in a low form, so their affairs are not very difficult to deal with, the people in our heavenly court are all powerful, as long as Your Majesty sends one at will, you will definitely be able to control the scene, and you don't necessarily have to send those capable cadres, as long as you are honest and reliable." ”

The Jade Emperor nodded after hearing this, and felt that Tai Bai Xing was right, because the Nether Realm was all ordinary people, as long as he sent an immortal down, he would not worry that he would not be able to complete the task. But who can be relied on? Now these immortals, on the surface, look very good, turn their faces and it's not them, I heard that there are still companies and bags behind the scenes, if this kind of immortals are sent down, those ordinary people in the lower realm will not suffer twice, suffer twice! Will you be able to eat pig's head meat during the New Year's holidays in the future?

When he was looking for a candidate, he suddenly saw a red-bearded dragon guarding the door outside, this dragon had a square head and a big face, a straight nose and a wide mouth, big eyes, double eyelids, and he looked like an honest man. The Jade Emperor was overjoyed, and immediately pointed to the red-bearded dragon and said: "Da Long, it's you, you go down and take care of the affairs of the world for me, and it will naturally be beneficial to you when you turn back." ”

In this way, this red-whiskered dragon was sent to the world, and rushed into a private house in the horse camp next to the Luoyang Palace, and then a crisp cry was heard, and a great man was born. This day is March 21 of the second year of Tang Tiancheng (927) after the earth calendar, and the birthplace of the red bearded dragon is in the home of Zhao Shouyin, the commander of the Later Tang Forbidden Army, so the red bearded dragon also followed the surname Zhao and was named Zhao Kuangyin. In the end, Zhao Kuangyin successfully completed the task assigned by the Jade Emperor, and then returned to Heaven to pay the errand, and was also floated by two levels of salary.

However, there is a sequel to this legend, it is said that Zhao Kuangyin, who was changed by the red bearded dragon, was later killed by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi (this matter has become an unsolved case, as discussed later), and his wisp of unjust soul suddenly returned to the sky to complain to the Jade Emperor, asking to be reincarnated again to take revenge in the lower realm, but he didn't expect the Jade Emperor to say to him: "Okay!" Great Dragon! You've done a good job, you're a god in the sky, so it's better to come back early. ”

The red bearded dragon didn't do it, and said: "Although the minister is a god in the sky, the descendants of the minister are not!" The minister has worked hard in the nether world for many years, and finally got the throne easily, originally wanted to pass it on to his descendants, but he didn't expect to be taken away by the wolf-hearted Zhao Guangyi, please Your Majesty send the ministers down again, and the ministers have to snatch the throne back for their descendants. ”

The Jade Emperor didn't want to be troubled, and besides, the travel expenses of the Heavenly Court were also relatively tight at the moment, so he was sloppy. said: "Forget it! Never mind! You are an immortal, what are you called by mortals! As long as the Nether is too peaceful. Who is the emperor is not the same? Besides, don't they give you two levels of floating salary! "The Red Whisker Dragon is a small official, and he doesn't dare to argue with the Jade Emperor. I had to endure this breath for the first time and let it go for the time being.

However, during the reign of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, on New Year's Day one year, the Nether court held a ceremony to worship the heavens in the southern suburbs according to the custom, and Huizong of the Song Dynasty personally wrote the text of the sacrifice to the heavens. However, this Song Huizong usually practiced too much calligraphy, and he couldn't write the words a little, so he wrote the word "jade" in the "Jade Emperor" to the top of the "big", so that he suddenly became the "Emperor Dog Emperor". Song Huizong made an appointment with Master Li that night to go to the concert. So I didn't bother to change it, so I burned it in a daze.

This time, the Jade Emperor was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and said angrily: "The emperor can be forgiven, but the dog emperor is unforgivable." Then he sent the Red Whiskered Dragon to the Nether Realm to reincarnate in the enemy country of the Song Kingdom, so that he could destroy the Song Kingdom. And just in case, while sending the Red Whisker Dragon down, he also ordered him to bring down a Red Whisker Fire Dragon. Here's a double insurance.

Song Huizong is a descendant of Zhao Guangyi, so the red beard dragon was very happy after receiving this task, and immediately rushed to the Jurchen tribe in the north of the Song country with the red beard fire dragon, and then stabbed down with a fierce son. The red whisker dragon was reincarnated as the younger brother of Wanyan Aguta, Wu Qimai, and the red whiskered fire dragon became his nephew Wanyan Zongbi, which is the more familiar Jin Wushu (the son of Wanyan Aguta).

Both dragons are heavenly immortals. After descending to earth, one is more vigorous than the other. No one can cure it. In the fifth year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1123), Wanyan Aguta died. Wu Qimai became the emperor of the Jin State, destroyed the Liao two years later, and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty two years later. and captured Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, which can be regarded as avenging the Jade Emperor. He also caught Zhao Heng (a descendant of Zhao Guangyi) of Song Qinzong, which can be regarded as avenging himself.

However, although the Northern Song Dynasty perished, the Southern Song Dynasty still existed, and the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong, that is, the person who killed Yue Fei. Zhao Gou is also a descendant of Zhao Guangyi, so this revenge is not complete, and the red bearded dragon refuses to give up and continues to fight.

But at this time, there was a small accident, that is, shortly after Zhao Gou became emperor, he encountered a mutiny (Miao, Liu mutiny), which was very strongly stimulated, physically and mentally injured, and the essence was not dead, and his physiology had serious defects, and he could not complete the task of inheriting the lineage. And one of his original sons also died shortly after the mutiny, which created a problem for the country that there was no successor.

As early as when Wanyan Aguda was alive, he once appointed Wu Qimai to envoy to the Northern Song Dynasty, which caused a national sensation at that time, because Wu Qimai's appearance was exactly the same as Zhao Kuangyin's portrait. At that time, some people said that Wu Qimai was an immortal sent by God to take the heir, but it failed to attract the attention of relevant people. When Zhao Gou lost that ability, and his own son also died, some people thought about this matter, and said that Wu Qimai was actually the reincarnation of Zhao Kuangyin.

The purpose is because he was treated unfairly back then, and his descendants failed to inherit the throne. If you want the two countries to strike the army, only one of Zhao Kuangyin's descendants can be selected to inherit the throne, and everything will be fine.

Zhao Gou was a very timid person, and after hearing it, he believed it, so he found a child named Zhao Bocong among Zhao Kuangyin's descendants and prepared to let him inherit the throne. This happened in the second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1132), and it is strange to say that it didn't take long for Wu Qimaizhen, who was thousands of miles away, to die, and the two countries also changed from a state of war to a state of confrontation, and the Jin State no longer attacked the Song Dynasty on a large scale.

This legend is a sequel to the previous one, but it hasn't been passed on yet, because there is still a side story, a few words to talk about.

It is said that one day, the Buddha held a lecture meeting at the Great Leiyin Temple, and lectured on how to build a harmonious world of bliss in the western heavens. The gods and Buddhas, the four bodhisattvas, the eight heavenly dragons, the vajra arhats, monks and nuns were all present. The meeting was held in a very solemn atmosphere. When it is, inside and outside the venue, there are thousands of golden lights, thousands of rui qi, Sanskrit singing, and Baoyu colorful. The Buddha spoke wildly, and the audience listened to it as if they were drunk.

However, at such a very great moment, there was a star official named Lady Bat (should be a female earth bat, one of the twenty-eight constellations) in the audience, who couldn't hold back the three impatience for a while, and unconsciously let out a stinky and long fart. This fart is amazing, the time is long, the decibels are high, and the hydrogen sulfide content in the fart is seriously exceeded. Later, according to the sampling and analysis of the Food and Drug Administration of the People's Republic of China, it reached 1,000 times the normal intake of the human body, and if it is inhaled for a long time, there is a risk of causing cancer.

This time it took away the solemn atmosphere in the venue. Fortunately, my Buddha is compassionate, with the Three Realms and Five Elements in mind, the measurement is very large, plus the cold in the past two days, the nose is not breathing, just think about this matter in the past, people don't mean it, there is still a class here! Don't delay your business, so I didn't blame it.

However, at this time, the golden-winged Dapeng bird, the protector of the Buddha, was completely enraged by the filthy behavior of the lady bat, and secretly thought that the Buddha was talking about such a wonderful Dharma.

Isn't it an intentional desecration of our Buddha that you are emitting such a vulgar gas from below? So immediately he shook his arms and flew out,

Scratched the head of the lady bat with his claws. This golden-winged Dapeng bird is a very powerful character, according to the generation is still the uncle of Rulai (the golden-winged Dapeng bird is the younger brother of the Buddha's mother big peacock Ming King, the son of the phoenix), this claw down, the lady bat can't resist at all, and the brain burst out on the spot and died.

The Buddha was very compassionate, and when he saw that the golden-winged Dapeng bird had caught the lady bat, he was very annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but reprimand him: "You said you are a big bird! I can't get rid of your stinky problem when you're old, and now it's causing a lot of life, what do you say? ”

The golden-winged Dapeng bird prides himself on being the uncle of the Buddha, with high seniority and strong mana, and is not afraid at all, looking nonchalant, and does not take the words of the Buddha seriously.

If you also feel that it is very difficult to do, you must impose a dictatorship on him! I can't get that hand. Have a heart to protect him! So many gods and Buddhas were watching from the sidelines. When I was in a dilemma, I suddenly had an idea and came up with a good solution. Because at this time, the Eastern Divine Kingdom had violated the agreement in the "Protocol for the Protection of Nature on Earth" signed with the Western Buddhist Kingdom, brazenly interfered in the internal affairs of the world, and sent two divine dragons to the earth to reincarnate the Jurchen tribe, with the purpose of destroying the Song Kingdom.

This is very unruly, so I feel the need to interfere. In particular, although the relationship between the Eastern Kingdom of God and the Western Kingdom of Buddhism has always been in a relationship of strategic partnership,

But after all, the Eastern and Western cultures are still very different, each with its own religion, beliefs and living habits, so there is also a competitive relationship between the two.

So he took this opportunity to say to the golden-winged roc bird: "You big bird! You were careless of human life, and you should have been executed, but now there is an opportunity for you to atone for your sins, and the Jade Emperor of Haotian Jinque of the Eastern God Kingdom sent two dragons to the Jurchen tribe to reincarnate, and soon they will establish the Jin Kingdom,

The purpose is to destroy the Han people's country, the Great Song Dynasty, and this behavior is not allowed, so I ask you to immediately go to the Song Kingdom in the Nether Realm to reincarnate and become one of their national heroes to defend the country. ”

The Golden-winged Roc Bird is very happy to hear it! He was not interested in defending the country, but was very excited when he heard that there were dragons to eat.

Because the most favorite animal of the golden-winged roc bird is the dragon, it used to eat a dragon king and five hundred small dragons at every meal.

But later, the dragon was endangered in the Buddha country and was listed as a first-class protected animal, so it was not allowed to eat casually, so the golden-winged Dapeng bird has not been able to eat this delicacy for a long time.

At this time, when he heard that the Buddha wanted him to go to the lower realm to eat dragons, he immediately agreed excitedly, and rushed to the lower realm to reincarnate as soon as he turned around.

The golden-winged Dapeng bird is the later Yue Fei, which is also one of the most famous national heroes in our country. After the lady bat was pecked to death by him, she also went to Dongtu, but her fate was not good, and she was reincarnated into a family surnamed Wang, and when she grew up, she became Qin Hui's wife, and now she is still kneeling on the edge of the West Lake.

At this point, these legends are finished. The reason why I have to go into so much verbose is because it involves an important figure in this book - Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, which is also a very remarkable figure in our Chinese history, only a little less than the working people, so there must be a little bit of difference.

Regarding the above legends, after my personal rough analysis, I feel that the credibility is not high, and I will tell them only for the reader to laugh, because the main text of this article is about to begin. But it didn't start with the Zhao Kuangyin just mentioned, but from the leader he led - Guo Wei. (To be continued.) )
