Chapter Seventy-One: In Troubled Times, the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties
A generation of female emperor Wu Zetian, a generation of strange people Yuan Tiangang.
In that era when men were superior to women, Wu Zetian was able to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan as a woman, and later generations of scholars had a lot of research but couldn't figure it out, and now listening to Ling Xuan's meaning, this seems to be what Yuan Tiangang did in secret.
Our great country in China has a long history, and there will be countless princes born in this thousand years, but I think when it comes to emperors, perhaps no one will ignore Wu Zetian, the empress of the ages.
If the first emperor of China refers to the ancestral dragon Yingzheng, then the ancient empress must refer to Wu Zetian, she named herself Wu Cao, meaning that the sun and the moon are shining on the earth, not only the only orthodox female emperor in Chinese history, but also one of the oldest and longest-lived emperors, and the Han Dynasty's Empress Lu is called "Lu Wu".
She entered the harem at the age of fourteen, at the beginning of the Tang Taizong talent, was given the name Wu Mei, Gaozong was named Zhaoyi, became the queen after the abolition of Wang Liwu, the first year of the Yuan Dynasty plus the queen of heaven, and Gaozong and called the two saints to participate in the pre-court politics, after the death of Gaozong, as the queen mother of Tang Zhongzong and Tang Ruizong.
In the first year of the Heavenly Grant, Wu Zetian called the emperor, the capital Luoyang was renamed Shendu, and Wu Zhou was established, she wantonly killed the Tang Dynasty clan before and after her reign, but at the same time she was aware of the good judgment, and the power was slightly able to use people, and rewarded the reform of the agricultural and mulberry officials, and attached importance to the selection of talents, so that the talents came out in large numbers, she not only made a continuation of the rule of Zhenguan, but also paved the way for the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
It's just that she gradually became extravagant and arbitrary in her later years, and gradually malfunctioned, when the first year of Shenlong, Wu Zetian was ill, and Prime Minister Zhang Khan Zhi launched the Shenlong Revolution, supported the restoration of Tang Zhongzong, and forced him to abdicate, after Zhongzong restored the Tang Dynasty, he was named the Great Sage Emperor of Zetian, and in November of the same year, Wu Zetian died in Shangyang Palace, at the age of eighty-two.
And about Yuan Tiangang, in fact, the correct way to write is Yuan Tiangang, but most of the world's mouths are commonly known as Yuan Tiangang, he is a metaphysician, astronomer, Taoist priest in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, legend has it that he is good at the wind, only by the wind and the direction of the wind can be judged auspicious, tired of the test is not happy, and proficient in physiognomy, six and five elements, etc., in the sixth year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong heard that his reputation was accepted into the court as a think tank.
It is rumored that in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang jointly used Zhou Yi gossip to calculate, but I didn't expect this calculation to calculate the fate of China for more than 2,000 years after the Tang Dynasty, until Yuan Tiangang pushed Li Chunfeng's back and said that the heavenly machine could not be leaked again, which finally stopped, and this strange book is also the legendary metaphysical classic, pushing the back picture.
I quickly went through the historical records of these two people in my mind, and then looked at Ling Xuan, wondering what was hidden in it, and Ling Xuan didn't deliberately hang my appetite, he just glanced at Chunting, and when he saw that Chunting didn't stop him, he began to tell us the story of the Tang Dynasty.
"Although it is a matter of the Tang Dynasty, but it has to start from the end of the Sui Dynasty, that day at Yang Guangyi's tomb, I told you why Emperor Ming died, why the Sui Dynasty perished, do you remember?"
Among these people, except for Xie Xie and Qi Zhi, who were absent that day, they must all remember that through Ling Xuan's narration, I knew why the Sui Dynasty died and how Li Yuan became the emperor, that was the first time I felt that the power of Guanshan and weak water was so huge that it could influence the rise and fall of a dynasty.
Qi Zhi didn't know the story in Ling Xuan's mouth because she wasn't with us that day, and seeing that we all looked like we all looked clear, she looked at me and asked curiously.
"Brother Chuan, what is Brother Ling Xuan talking about?"
Ling Xuan probably didn't want to repeat it again, so he looked at Qi Zhi, motioned for her to walk over to me, and then spoke.
"Let me finish this story first, and let Han Chuan tell you about the events of that day later, okay?"
Qi Zhi nodded sensibly, leaned over to my side and didn't say much, Ling Xuan saw that the others had no other opinions, so he continued.
"The leader guessed the plan of weak water, and weak water just wanted to use the grievances of the unjustly killed people in the war of Shenzhou as a blade when the world was in turmoil, with its bones as the edge, and its blood as a sacrifice, to refine a peerless fierce soldier, so as to break the guardian circle of the heavenly pillar, destroy the heavenly pillar again, and let the world's living beings be miserable and return to chaos."
"It's a pity that it was too late for the leader to discover the purpose of weak water, and when he finally arrived, Emperor Ming was dead, so he had to take Emperor Ming's body for burial, in order to ensure that there was no turmoil in Shenzhou, so after telling Yuan Tiangang how to deal with it, the leader finally led his men to the land of Longxi."
Longxi, also known as Longyou, refers to the place west of Longshan, King Qin Zhao set up Longxi County in the 27th year, and then was one of the 36 counties in the world, the Western Jin Dynasty had set up Longxi Kingdom, Longxi County was governed in Di Dao during the Qin and Han dynasties, and Longxi County was governed by Xiangwu after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Longxi was the undoubted birthplace of Tang Dynasty culture.
It is rumored that Li Yuan's family dragon vein is in Longxi, which is in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, located on the Hexi Corridor, Weishui flows through the whole territory, west of Tianshui, east to Chang'an, the land of Longxi has the spirit of the dragon and tiger, nourished by the nourishment of this place Li family dragon gas gradually appeared, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan, and finally with the 100,000 Guan Long army in his hands went south to Luoyang invincible, and finally was able to level the world, that is, Tang Gaozu.
When Ling Xuan said this, he raised his head and looked at the statue of Lushena Buddha in front of him, and his tone was meaningful.
"Have you ever thought that even if it is as strong as Zulong Yingzheng, it is also the remnant of Fen VI who is the unification of the world, Li Yuan is a mortal, he only has a mere 100,000 troops in his hands, and there are many injuries under the southern and northern wars, how can he build this powerful Tang Dynasty?"
We looked at each other after listening to this, this statement sounded a little reasonable, but we naturally couldn't guess these old things, so we could only look at Ling Xuan with curious eyes, waiting for him to continue to explain the hidden meaning to us.
Ling Xuan's tone suddenly began to be low, I don't know if it was my delusion, I actually felt a trace of anger from his words.
"Since the mission of Guanshan since ancient times is to guard Shenzhou, since the weak water wants to be in the chaos of war, the leader decided to lead his subordinates to Longxi, and chose Li Yuan as the object of support, step by step sent him to the throne, and established the Tang Dynasty.
"But after Li Yuan ascended the throne, an accident happened, although he obtained the country with the help of Guan Shan, but after sitting on the emperor's dragon chair, his mentality changed, so the eyes looking at Guan Shan were different from before."
Ling Xuan seemed to be a little unable to control his emotions, and when he said this, he clenched his fists, Shen Lang grinned so much that he didn't notice this detail, and continued to ask stupidly.
"Master, then what, what happened?"
Due to Ling Xuan's abnormal mood, it was not Ling Xuan who spoke next, but Chun Ting, who had been silent for a long time on the side.
"Li Yuan witnessed the strength of Guan Shan in the process of conquering the world, so he knew that Guan Shan had the ability to change the dynasty in his hands, since Guan Shan could not be used by him, how could he rest assured that such a force existed in the world."
"Therefore, Li Yuan began to plot against Guan Shan in secret, and he tried to disintegrate this power that had been inherited for thousands of years!" Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
