Chapter 71 [Marriage]
According to Wen Daya's records, Li Yuan is quite unusual. First of all, he has both civil and military skills. Let's take a few examples.
It is said that Li Yuan married the daughter of Dou Yi, a nobleman who was the first pillar of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and her mother was the eldest princess of Xiangyang, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyong.
How's that, it's awesome. Once again, it has strongly verified the starting path of this Guanlong military aristocratic group, that is, relying on this kind of fist and girl's two sharp weapons, the so-called two hands, both hands are hard, in order to create and consolidate their own political territory and power. The Xianbei people come from the northern grasslands, so they naturally follow the martial style of their ancestors, and the world is beaten down by fists, and the people on horseback are brave and good at fighting.
This Comrade Dou Yi took great pains to choose a wishful husband for his beloved girl. Our Han girl chooses Lang Jun, which is another form, throwing hydrangea. Hey.
The young lady stood on the embroidery floor, her face covered with a thin veil, and there was a maid waiting beside her, and the parents were in a hurry behind her, and the house was in chaos. The young lady was looking upstairs, hesitating and refusing.
Below this embroidery building is this busy downtown area. A group of boys with fans shouted and coaxed below, and the young lady rolled her eyes with disdain, and her eyes continued to scan.
Then I saw a down-and-out temperament man appearing in the picture, leading a tall horse, carrying a sword cross-body, or holding a sword in his hand, as if he was in trouble, and his melancholy eyes seemed to be calling for Miss, so I won't talk about it below. Haha, or I'm really throwing up.
In other words, what is the way General Dou Yi chose Ruyi Langjun for his beloved baby daughter? Hehe, people are creative, I saw that the Dou girl drew a peacock on the screen at the door of the house, and the suitor must shoot the peacock's two big eyes with an arrow at the specified distance, which is his own Ruyi Langjun Chosen One.
Although there was an endless stream of people who came to propose and test arrows, no one could shoot the peacock in the eye, so he had to sigh, shake his head and sigh away.
At this moment, our heroic male No. 1 classmate Li Yuan appeared on the stage, only to see him dressed as a Xianbei warrior, a tall horse in his crotch, seeing the timing and distance, suddenly slapping the horse and rushing over, when everyone was exclaiming, he calmly drew his bow and arrow, shot the arrow like lightning in the clouds, and the sword was unsheathed. Li Yuan beat his horse and abandoned his bow and left.
Wow, that's handsome. Such a fairy brother, it is difficult to say that he doesn't love it. At this moment, it has been frozen, in the eyes of Miss Dou, Li Yuan is the supreme treasure who rode the colorful auspicious clouds to marry her. However, unlike Zixia Fairy, Zixia Fairy guessed the beginning but did not guess the end, and although Miss Dou did not guess the beginning, she luckily had the last laugh.
This Dou girl was Li Yuan's real direct leader later, Empress Shenmu Dou, and later contributed a lot to Li Yuan's three-hundred-year-old Tang Dynasty.
It seems that you have to be creative when looking for a husband. Pickled girls are very good at finding a wife, what is the work ability? That's not to say. Let's see.
Comrade Li Yuan attacked his father Li Yu's title at the age of seven Tang Guogong, although he looked like an old woman (cousin Yang Guang ridiculed him as "grandma face"), but because of his intelligence, ability, wisdom and bravery, naturally there was no reason not to get the love of his uncle Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, and when he was young, he went to the grassroots level to exercise as a thorn. When his cousin Yang Guang became emperor, he successively served as the Taishou of Xingyang (now Xingyang, Henan) and Loufu (now Jingle, Shanxi). Then he served as a young eunuch in the palace, a guard lieutenant and a young secretary.
In the ninth year of the Great Cause, while Chairman Yang Guanger conquered Liaodong, Yang Xuangan, the eldest son of Yang Su, a veteran military nobleman in Guanlong, raised troops in Liyang, and the soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Great Sui political center. Although he was later defeated and killed, it ruthlessly shook the ruling foundation of the Great Sui, a giant Mac. Yang Guang sent his cousin to guard Honghua County (now Qingyang, Gansu).
At this time, the world was already in turmoil, and Li Yuan began to make friends with heroes in the world at this time, preparing for his future alone.
Li Yuan's cousin Xiàn made his cousin Yang Guang very worried, it happened that this place in Shanxi was not very peaceful, and he took the title of commander-in-chief of Shanxi's bandits, so he crossed the Yellow River to suppress the bandits, and destroyed Duan'er and Jingpantuo.
Due to his excellent appearance, Li Yuan's official rank also went up. In the second half of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang offended the Shibi Khan of ** under the flickering of the bull Pei Ju, and hundreds of thousands of troops were trapped in Yanmen County by the Turks, thanks to the division of King Qin from all over the country, including Li Yuan, to relieve the siege.
The boss sees that this cousin Li is good, so let's reuse it. From the ambassador of Hedong to the general of the right Xiaowei and the pacification ambassador of Taiyuan Province. From the commander of a military division to the commander of a large military region, that is considered a high promotion.
At the end of the year, kill Zhen Zhai'er, the fierce general of Lishan. At the beginning of the Chinese New Year, Li Yuan was promoted again and was appointed as the number one leader of the party, government and army in Shanxi - Taiyuan stayed behind, and completely took root in Taiyuan.
At that time, Li Yuan, the Taiyuan frontier area, controlled five counties including Xihe, Loufu, Mayi, Yanmen, and Taiyuan, and Wang Rengong of Mayi Taishou (Shuozhou) joined forces, only 5,000 people, and Wang Rengong was very afraid. What should I do?
Li Yuan's ingenuity table has come out, and the specific measures: acting! Wearing Turkic clothes, eating Turkic food, in a word, all officers and soldiers dressed as Turks. However, at that time, after 300 years of ethnic integration between the North and the South, it was not difficult to pretend to be a Turkic minister, not to mention that in the border buffer zone, there was no barbed wire or anything, and it was easy to enter and exit.
This Turkic nation was still a slave system at that time, there was no set of formed political and social management mechanisms, the various tribes lived in a scattered manner, and when they were about to go south to rob, they shouted with a loudspeaker, led by the leader of a large tribe, and took the big guys to rob the Han people together, which was really doing the work of robbers under the banner of the government, and robbed everyone to share it together.
Li Yuan took advantage of the mutual information asymmetry and communication barriers between the Turkic tribes to dress up the Han soldiers as Turkic soldiers of a tribe and live and train with the Turks on the border line. The Turks were also confused, and at that time there were no code words such as numbers, and they all thought that these Han soldiers were Turkic soldiers of another tribe, so they naturally had no defense.
On the one hand, the Turks slowly became accustomed to this "new tribe", and the Han soldiers also figured out the habits and fighting style of the Turks, and felt that they had nothing to fear, and the "fear of Turkism" was significantly reduced.
As the hatred of the Turks grew, the soldiers were gearing up to do their best. After a light afternoon tea, the Turkic soldiers, who were napping at noon, suddenly found that this group of "own family" light cavalry, who usually greeted each other very well, appeared around their camp under the leadership of a middle-aged man who looked like an old lady.
But it seems that these "own family members" seem to have changed their faces, all of them are holding machetes and looking like butchers, and before these Turks can understand what is going on, they were absorbed by the king of Hades and directly assigned to work in the underworld.
& The horses on which his agents (equivalent to the prince's first-level chiefs) rode beheaded hundreds of thousands. Since the Erji, the Turks have been frightened, and they have been deeply subdued by the emperor's capable soldiers, and they have collected their subordinates, and they dare not enter the south. "Whether it's the pickled girl in front looking for a wife or the worksheet in the back, classmate Li Yuan is not the legendary coward at all.
However, in the officialdom, if you are highly educated and capable, you are too talented, which is a hard injury, which makes the leader nervous, and the leader has to raise his head when he talks to you, how depressed should you say the leader should be? Facing the boss Yang Guang, who is rigid and conceited to the extreme, it is normal for Li Yuan to be suspicious. said that Li Yuan's nephew, the Queen, was serving the emperor in the palace, and it happened that Yang Guang was going to recruit Li Yuan into the court.
Wang said that my uncle Li Yuan was sick and couldn't come. This Yang Guang's words almost didn't scare Li Yuan to death. He said your uncle is sick, will he die? Yang Guang didn't trust Li Yuan much anymore. And with the competition of heroes in various places in the last years of the great cause, rebellions are frequent. Especially at this time, Yang Guang no longer has anyone to trust, he is suspicious and suspicious. His suspicion of Li Yuan grew bigger and bigger. This suspicion stems from a popular nursery rhyme at the time. What the? A children's song made Emperor Yang Guang nervous like this? Is Yang Guang crazy?
A lie is a nursery rhyme, it's really a bit of a saying. Mr. Qian Mu, a master of Chinese culture, believes that there are only four words in the core of Chinese culture, that is, "the unity of heaven and man".
This idea has penetrated into all aspects of Chinese culture, such as the construction of a harmonious society that is now popular, and it can be traced back to the idea of the unity of nature and man in Chinese culture. In addition, the Chinese emphasize that peace is precious, and kindness to others is also included, and the idea of the unity of nature and man is also included.
Another example is Taoism, a native Chinese religion that originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which emphasizes the unity of heaven and man. There are more that are closely related to the lives of our people, the most typical is our traditional Chinese medicine, which combines time, space and the human body, and looks at the human body with a large cosmology, which is wonderful. And nursery rhymes have broken the ground and sprouted in response to China's special cultural soil.
To put it bluntly, it is actually a political prop created by some conspirators, taking advantage of people's dissatisfaction with the status quo in troubled times and the unique cultural soil of heaven and man, to provoke people's impulse to change the heavens and the earth, and to achieve their own political goals by the will of God.
Therefore, it is not without reason that we often say that children's words are unscrupulous and become prophecies. In this special historical period at the end of the Sui Dynasty, what kind of nursery rhymes were popular? At that time, there was a children's song "Peach and Plum", which resounded all over the country.
& Plum, the queen around Yangzhou, like a garden. Don't **, who promises. "To the effect that a person surnamed Li cannot be said to have a heavenly commandment, the emperor and the empress will go around the mountains to the south, and finally die there, and this person surnamed Li will replace him as the lord of the world. There are many versions of children's songs, such as "Pear blossoms bloom after Yang Hua is grateful", "The plums are strong and the world, and the Yang Lord has no roots. "Wait. People's hearts have been shaken, and it is clear that someone wants to turn a lie into reality.
Since the person surnamed Li wants to rise up and make trouble, he wants to replace me, hum, then what else is there to say. In Yang Guang's eyes, the solution to the problem is one word: kill! People block killing, and Buddhas block killing Buddhas. In fact, the image of Yang Guang in history is quite different.
Some people think that he has made great contributions to the Chinese nation, such as building the Eastern Capital, the Great Wall, the canal, Tuguhun, the Turks, and the Goryeo.
However, this is just the view of modern people, and they did not see it that way from the perspective of the people of the time. History has its own unique trajectory of development, and the accidental factors that seem to be inevitable are dominant, but we must see the inevitable factors in the accident. A poem by the late Tang Dynasty poet Pi Rixiu "Bianhe Nostalgia" can tell the mystery.
As far as the Sui Dynasty died, it was a river, and it has been thousands of miles away. If there is no water temple dragon boat thing, there is not much merit in Gongyu? The Sui Dynasty went to the point of no return under the wise leadership of Comrade Yang Guang. That's one word, toss, toss desperately. The result of the toss was that the monstrous hatred of the middle and lower classes of the people was finally aroused, and the Great Sui Dynasty sang an elegy for her demise in this boiling sound of public resentment.
If a lie is told a thousand times, and millions of people are telling it, that has a lot of power. In particular, there was a person who Comrade Yang Guang trusted very much said a sentence, which made Comrade Xiao Yang's heart tremble, and he finally decided to do it.
The emperor was nervous, and the consequences were severe. Who is this person, and what did he say that made Yang Guang so nervous?
