Chapter 61: The Question of the Emperor's Chronology in Ancient Times

Lu Shuang said: "Then did Peng Yingyu let Li Rulong go back?" Tang Yi said: "My dynasty has ruled the world with filial piety since the beginning of Taizu, and I have to keep filial piety for three years after my parents passed away, let alone the emperor of the dynasty?" Lu Shuang said: "Didn't Peng Yingyu hate Taizu?" How could Li Rulong be let go? Tang Yi said: "Peng Yingyu is a generation of masters outside the world, although he hates that little flower, but he is also a sympathetic person to Dali, seeing Li Rulong so loyal and filial, he knows that he can't keep Li Rulong." Early the next morning, Li Rulong packed up a few torn clothes, and said goodbye like Peng Yingyu with a sad face, although Peng Yingyu was reluctant, but there was nothing to do. Tang Yi paused and continued: "That Li Rulong has peerless martial arts and peerless cheats, and rushed back with a lot of blood, along the way he always thought that Taizu had died, and when he entered the border of the Ming Dynasty, he heard that it was still the name of Hongwu Year, he felt very puzzled, and after inquiring carefully, he knew that it was the prince who drove the year, although he felt sad in his heart, but after all, he was not his real master, so the sadness was reduced by half, and when he rushed back to Jinling in a hurry, he thought that he could dedicate the peerless secret book in his mind to the current emperor, But what he often didn't expect was to see the notices that wanted him all over the streets! Lu Shuangqi said: "What's going on?" Tang Yi said: "Although Li Rulong decided to be smart, but he failed to understand that since ancient times, the king is like a tiger, when Taizu sent him to the cold land of the North Pole, some cunning villains who are usually at odds with Li Rulong began to slander him in front of Taizu, although Taizu is eloquent and strategic, but he can't withstand the slander of those treacherous villains in the court day and night, plus Taizu is suspicious by nature and never trusts anyone, this time he sent Li Rulong to the cold land of the Arctic, I thought that with Li Rulong's cleverness, I would be able to quickly deceive Peng Yingyu's peerless cheats, but Li Rulong went for more than a year, and there was no news. In the end, Taizu failed to adhere to his original proposition, but listened to the instigation of those treacherous villains, and Taizu hated his subordinates for deceiving him the most in his life, so in a fit of anger, he ordered to kill Li Rulong's parents, wives and children quietly! Hearing this, Lu Shuang sighed and said: "There is really nothing good about a person being too smart, if Li Rulong is not so smart, maybe there will be no such tragedy, maybe he will still be a good petty official by Taizu's side?" I sighed, only to feel that the emperor is so moody, but the most inhumane.

But at this time, Tang Yi said: "Then Li Rulong suddenly saw so many notices wanted for him, and he panicked in his heart, fortunately, he has lived in the land of Saibei for more than a year, and he has already used the original temperament of Jiangnan, and he has not taken a bath and changed his clothes for more than a year, and he has not even shaved his beard, and the whole is a wild man in the mountains, although everyone in the capital sees him, but no one recognizes him, he carefully returned to his home, and saw the dilapidated and miserable scene, when he knew that his parents, wife and children were killed, The grief in his chest, from that moment on his heart except hatred can not tolerate anything, he found a desperate place, hid himself, the "Guanghan Cheats" deeply remembered in his mind, so he hid there and practiced hard, he himself is smart, and with peerless martial arts, hiding in the cave day and night to practice up, I don't know how long he practiced, he finally practiced all the martial arts in the "Guanghan Cheats", he believed that even if all the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty were dispatched, they could not stop him from entering the palace, So he came out of the mountain full of confidence, ready to take revenge, but when he sneaked into the palace at night, he found that the emperor who killed his whole family was gone, replaced by another person! This man he had never seen before. "The era name is the name of the imperial year in ancient Chinese feudal society.

The earliest era name is Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. The year of Liu Che's accession to the throne was the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very satisfied with his invention, and he reigned for more than 50 years, and used a total of 11 era names before and after.

Since the beginning of Emperor Wu, since then successive emperors have ascended the throne, and most of them generally have era names. It also affected neighboring countries such as North Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.

Because of the name of the year, it contains the need for ********. Therefore, it generally expresses the meaning of national peace and prosperity and prosperity.

Some overly popular auspicious words such as:

"Taiping",

"Yong'an" and the like have also been used by different emperors. The number of words that make up the era name is generally mostly two-word; There are few four-character ones, and three-character era names are extremely rare.

The three-character era name began in the new dynasty Wang Mang, at the beginning of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, the era name used was three words: the founding of the country.

In China's feudal history, the phenomenon of three-character era names is basically only an isolated case. By the time of the fifth dynasty, Emperor Wu of Liang Emperor Datong was changed to Yuan in October of the third year

"Zhongdatong". The same Emperor Wu of Liang changed his name to Yuan in April of the 12th year of Datong

"Zhongdatong". In these two changes, there is almost no obvious difference between the old and new era names. The new era name is only in the title, indicating a continuation of the old era name.

If the above two examples of three-character era names are counted, in the long history of Chinese feudalism, the phenomenon of three-character era names is only these three cases.

There are also two ways to write the same era name because of avoidance, such as the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia Yuan Hao was established, and its fashion was Feng Zhao Zhen of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Mingdao" year name. However, because of his father's name, in order to avoid his father's secret, he changed the way of enlightenment to the way of enlightenment. Therefore, the manifestation of the Western Xia, that is, the Ming Tao of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is the same era name, and it is two different titles formed because of the avoidance of family. The emperor who used the era name the most in Chinese history was none other than Wu Zetian, the only empress of China.

During the Wu Zhou period when Wu Zetian was in power, in just 21 years, eighteen era names were used, which was unprecedented.

Moreover, Wu Zetian made full use of the change of era names to consolidate his rule of Wu Zhou. as

"Heavenly Grant",

"Long live the Book of Heaven" and so on are all preaching the set of God-given divine power. Since there is something good on the top, there is a group of ministers to follow.

For example, in 701 A.D., folk rumors say that the gods of heaven came to the world and left huge footprints. So Wu Zetian immediately changed the yuan to

"Dazu", not a year, felt inappropriate, and changed the yuan

"Chang'an". Zeng added a gift and said: The Emperor of the Golden Wheel Holy Spirit, and he will go again soon

The name of "The Great Sage of the Golden Wheel of Heaven". Wu Zetian died in the first year of Shenlong, and the posthumous system went to the emperor's name, and was renamed the Great Sage Empress Zetian.

In the end, I understood that it is difficult to be a woman, it is even more difficult to be a famous woman, and it is the most difficult truth to be a female emperor.
