Xiao Huaizhong is said to be the first master of the guards of the Guogong Mansion.

According to Xiao Chengzhong, he couldn't make a single move under the knife in Xiao's arms.

Defeat in one move!

Xiao Yan's face turned stern.

She clenched her fist, "Mother, I'm going to practice knives!" "The missed day on Chinese New Year's Eve must be made up.

Xiao Yan hurriedly left the study and changed to a short brown to practice martial arts.

From this day on, Shang Qing no longer asked her to practice words and piano, saying that her centering and qualitative nature had been achieved, and the future tempering of her mood would not be something that could be done by practicing words and piano.

Shang Qing also no longer taught her poetry and literature classes, saying that Chenghe Academy had learned enough, and she didn't need to spend much time in literature classes.

The time saved was used by Xiao Yan to practice knives.

When it came to the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Cong said that Hezhou City was the most lively on the night of the first month, and everyone in the family had to go to watch the lanterns. There will be Shangyuan Night in the future, but as soon as the practice of martial arts slacks, it will take a hundred times more effort to make up for it. ”

Although Xiao Cong was disappointed, he was also very pleased, and when he went out to watch the lights at night and talked to his father, he praised: "Ah Yan is really hardworking." ”

Xiao Yu and Princess Anping glanced at each other, and their eyes were a little solemn.

***

On February 15, Xiao Yan turned thirteen.

After a simple birthday, Qi Niang mysteriously said that she had prepared a birthday gift.

This birthday gift is a new hot spring bath.

Xiao Yan was so painful that he came back to life, and after taking a bath, it was as if he was coming back to life, and the light brown medicinal soup completely turned ink-colored.

Qi Niang said that it was an impurity in her body.

After these impurities were discharged, Xiao Yan felt that the internal qi in his whole body was running more smoothly, as if the meridians and acupoints had been washed away, and the scum inside had been washed away, of course, the scum that was invisible to the naked eye.

She felt that her body was lighter, and she could climb the wall of Jingyuan Garden, which was two feet and five feet high, and she no longer needed to hand over on the wall. Foot on it. More importantly, she felt that the speed of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth was faster, as if the meridians were originally a channel with silt, but now that the silt has been washed away, the river water will naturally enter the canal more and faster.

Xiao Yan was overjoyed with this change.

The birthday gift given by Qi Niang is really a big gift.

She sincerely thanked Qi Niang.

Qi Niang smiled and said: "This is Xiaolang's accumulation, and the medicinal soup is just an introduction." ”

Xiao Yan saw that she said lightly, so she thought that although this medicinal soup was precious, it was not a strange medicine, and she was confused by Qi Niang's sloppy eyes.

The next brewing soup will be the same as before.

After a few days, Xiao Yan forgot about the medicinal soup.

A few days later, it was her literature class, Xiao Cong continued to tell her "Gaozong's Record", and only after saying a few words, Xiao Xiangnan, the guard of Rui Sitang, came south and said that the prince of the country asked the prince to go over immediately.

Xiao Cong instructed Si Mo to go to the inner courtyard: "If the young lady is fine, please invite her to come over to Mizhai and tell the history of Seventeen Langjun." "In addition to studying medical skills, Shen Qingyi is also very talented in history, and often asks Xiao Cong for advice when he reads history, and some of her views also benefit Xiao Cong, Xiao Cong feels that his wife teaches Ah Yan to learn the history of this dynasty is more than enough." Ah Yan, you are so good to learn from your sister-in-law, I will go back when I go. Xiao Yan answered and sent his brother out of the study.

After a while, Shen Qingyi came over with Qingyi.

Xiao Yan saluted and shouted happily, "Sister." ”

Shen Qingyi smiled at her, took the tea soup offered by Bingbi, took a sip and handed it to Qingyi, sat down in front of the bookcase and looked at the "Gaozong Record", and asked, "Where did Ah Yan read?" ”

"I'm reading about Gaozong's pro-government." Xiao Yan sat beside her, and said with admiration in his voice, "Gaozong ascended the throne at the age of twelve, endured for six years, and destroyed the Taiyuan Wang clan in one fell swoop, which is really remarkable. ”

Taiyuan Wang is the first relative of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, after the Tang Dynasty unified the Central Plains, it overwhelmed the Qinghe Cui family and became the first family with the surname A.

Shen Qingyi likes to read history from the top, she said: "Gaozong was able to pull the Taiyuan Wang family down from the first family surnamed Jia, which was on the foundation of Taizong and Mingzong's wisdom, and it was Taizong and Mingzong who really set up the situation. To be precise, since Emperor Taizong married Mingzong as the crown princess, he has been playing this game of chess. ”

Mingzong is the fifth emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the first empress of the Tang Dynasty, with the surname Wang Mingzhi at the beginning, the eldest daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, and the biological mother is the daughter of Gaozu and the sister of Taizong, the eldest princess of Xuanhui. At the age of fifteen, she was selected by Emperor Taizong to marry her cousin, the crown prince Li Chi, as the crown princess. After Taizong, Li Chi ascended the throne, that is, Emperor Renzong became the emperor, and the crown princess was the queen. The queen reigned for 17 years, because Renzong suffered from head wind, many generations of Renzong governance, courtiers called "Empress Majesty", after Renzong, the queen took the surname of the mother's family to Li, inherited the throne, that is, Emperor Ming Zongrui.

Mingzong is the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty admired by Xiao Yan, and he was able to take the throne peacefully as a woman and queen, which is definitely unprecedented and unprecedented!

Shen Qingyi said: "When Renzong was the emperor, the north and the south had been unified for fifty-two years, and the four were basically pacified. With too. Compared with the three Rongma emperors, Zu, Gaozu, and Taizong, Renzong seems to be civilized. Of course, after Wuding, Wenzhi is needed.

"But the power of the Scholar Gate Lords is too strong. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to suppress the southern scholars led by the Lanling Xiao clan at that time, it must rely on the northern scholars such as the Guanlong clan and the Shandong clan, and the Qinghe Cui clan, the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Fanyang Lu clan, the Zhaojun Li clan, and the Xingyang Zheng clan are the five families of the northern scholar clan.

"Compared with these three or four hundred years of accumulation of families, the Longxi Li family is still not thick enough. Just like Mingzong's mother, Princess Xuanhui, is the most favored daughter of Gaozu and the princess of the queen, but when she marries into the Taiyuan Wang family, she has to respectfully perform the daughter-in-law ceremony, and her status is below the daughter-in-law. ”

Xiao Yan knew this historical fact, at that time, the five major families surnamed A were reluctant to give their eldest son Princess Shang, even if the noble and favored Princess Xuanhui, the Taiyuan Wang family was also the youngest son.

They planned to marry the eldest daughter to the crown prince as the queen, but they were unwilling to marry the eldest son, Princess Shang, which made Emperor Taizong very unhappy. Mingzong was elected as the crown princess, which was the Wang family's plan to further consolidate the family's power. But what the Wang family miscalculated was precisely Mingzong. They married off their best daughter, and if this daughter married off, she would no longer be their daughter - this was the beginning of Taizong's scheme. ”

It's a very subtle, very subtle layout. Half of Mingzong's bloodline is the royal family of his father's family, and half of his bloodline is the royal family of his mother's family. Everyone in the world regards their father's clan as their clan, but Taizong chose Mingzong with great courage - surname, which can be changed! is also half bloodline, why can't the princess's children become the Li family?

Of course, this is also Taizong's helpless plan. The crown prince, the king of Wei, and the king of Chu competed for the throne, one died and two were abolished, and only the nine princes were left, King Zhao, who was left as an adult prince. ”

The Nine Emperors, King Zhao, was later Emperor Li Chi of Renzongcheng.

"King Zhao is benevolent and tolerant, if he is a king, he must be a virtuous king, but for the emperor, only benevolence and generosity are not enough. If there is less leniency, the government will not last. And if you lose your courage, you can't fight against the family. - Mingzong can just make up for the lack of Renzong. ”

Xiao Yan remembered that the comment on Mingzong in the "Records of Mingzong" was "resolute, decisive, and wise", and Renzong's temperament was lenient and indecisive, and the first few years of his ascension to the throne were the change of the order of the day, and the employment could not last, and eleven prime ministers were changed in five years, and the position of Wang Ji - the head of the Taiyuan Wang family - had not changed until Renzong's head attack, Mingzong was ruled by the queen, and the prime ministers of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province were stabilized, and the imperial edict was also continued.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire this when he thought of this, it was not Taizong Yi who admired

discovered the pearl of Mingzong early, but Taizong dared to pay this niece with the Tang Dynasty, and successfully turned the niece into a niece, so the Tang Dynasty had an additional Mingjun, and the Wang family lost their most outstanding son - originally their eldest daughter of the Wang family.

"So this is a very subtle and very subtle layout," Shen Qingyi said, "The subtlety lies in the fact that the Taiyuan Wang clan can't refuse this temptation. "Mingzong's ability to change back to his mother's surname and succeed to the throne did not cause a monstrous uproar, which is not only related to the important supporters of Emperor Taizong before his death, but also to the support of the civil official group headed by the Taiyuan Wang family - the weight of an empress with Wang blood is very different.

"One of the keys to this layout is that when Mingzong was the queen, he had no children." When Mingzong was the queen, he did not have a prince.

Is it true that he did not give birth to a prince, or whether he was "disappeared" after being born, then who knows?

In short, this prince can't save zài, otherwise, he is the heir to the throne who is fully supported by the Wang family and is justified.

Emperor Taizong did not choose the imperial grandson who was too far away, but chose Mingzong. Who knows if the unborn emperor can be made into a weapon? Once Taizong breaks down the boundary between men and women, Mingzong is undoubtedly the best choice.

Shen Qingyi said: "Gaozong's ability to be the emperor as a princess is also inseparable from the support of the Taiyuan Wang family. ”

After Mingzong ascended the throne as emperor, he married a cousin of the Wang family as the queen and had a daughter, namely Gaozong.

"Mingzong will be able to be the prince of her and the queen of the Wang family, regardless of gender. This is pressure from Wang. ”

Shen Qingyi admired Mingzong's methods very much, and explained to Xiao Yan: "On the one hand, Mingzong weakened the power of the prince produced by Renzong's two concubines, but he didn't kill him, and even had mercy from time to time, everyone in the world said that Mingzong was benevolent, but who knew that this was Mingzong's chess piece to attract the attention of the Wang family?" On the other hand, Mingzong firmly grasped the military power of the twelve Wei generals, and no matter how much the Wang clan held the three provinces and the court, no matter how powerful the Wenchen was, he could not shake the throne. This is the iron-blooded fist left by Mingzong to Gaozong's succession. ”

This fist has been shrunk in Gaozong's ochre yellow sleeve, until the Wang family showed the fangs of the military power, this fist suddenly struck, that night, Taiyuan Wang clan under the iron hoof knife and gun blood flowed, and all the men and women over ten years old were executed. The queen of the Wang family, who regarded himself as the emperor of the ether, also banned Ningde Palace forever, and could never step out of that palace again.

Shen Qingyi commented: "Yide Houjun is superior in terms of talent and wisdom, if it weren't for Mingzong's wisdom first, laying out the front, with the age of Gaozong's youth, how could she beat her father?" ”

Xiao Yan thought for a while, couldn't help nodding, and sighed: "The royal family has no relatives, husband and wife, father and daughter, are also like enemies." ”

Shen Qingyi sneered coldly, "Isn't this the case with the Gaomen family? But when it comes to power, there is a fight. "Just like the Xiao family, how can there be no strife?

Xiao Yan was a little stunned, Shen Qingyi knocked her with the book, "Let his interests be in the way, keep his heart right, and just do my way." ”

"Hold on to your heart and do my way!" These words rang in Xiao Yan's ears like a bell and drum.

Her expression was shocked, her eyebrows raised, and her voice was sonorous: "What my sister said is right, do my way, and keep a righteous heart." As soon as these words came out, I felt that a block suddenly disappeared in my heart, my mind was open-minded, my mind was clear, and I couldn't help but sit cross-legged and meditate.

Shen Qingyi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he made a gesture backwards, and both Qinghui and Shishu withdrew lightly.

Two quarters of an hour later, Xiao Yan opened his eyes and smiled happily: "Sister, I had an epiphany just now. ”

Nowadays, Buddhism and Taoism are flourishing, and there are many martial artists who practice the Taoist inner Dan mind, and the Taoist mind emphasizes the state of mind. Shen Qingyi was not surprised by Xiao Yan's epiphany, but was surprised by her talent for an epiphany.

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and looked very proud, "Of course, I'm a genius." "I was knocked on the door of my head by Shen Qingyi with a book, and with a sigh, how can my sister Xindao be the same as her mother, she loves to knock on her head, what if she knocks stupidly.

She reached out for the teacup, the tea was already cold, and she called out, "Serve tea". Bingbi answered, came in with two hot cups of tea on a tray, and replaced the cool lamp.

Xiao Yan brought the white porcelain plum cup to Shen Qingyi, and took two sips of the celadon cup himself.

After drinking a cup of tea, Shen Qingyi continued to explain the "Records of Gaozong".

She said that history and Xiao Cong's history are different, and the starting point of the two sides is different and the perspective of men and women is different, so there is a difference in interpretation, which makes Xiao Yan feel novel and listen to it with great interest.

After finishing a section, when drinking tea and resting, Xiao Yan suddenly said: ""The Record of Mingzong and the Biography of Yide Houjun" said that the Houjun has a high posture, such as Yaolin Qiongshu, before entering the palace, the person who saw it said: 'Seeing Wang Jiahua, like the jade mountain going up, the light reflects people. "The Tang Dynasty Speaks New Words" said that when Wang Sanlang entered the palace, An Shinu cried, saying, "I will never see Wang Lang's demeanor!" 'Such a talented Langjun, hasn't Emperor Mingzong ever been tempted? "Otherwise, how could it be so ruthlessly designed?

Shen Qingyi sneered lightly, "When Mingzong married Wang Sanlang as the queen, he was already thirty-five years old and had been the queen for seventeen years, among which Emperor Renzong had been in power for ten years, not a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Huaichun girl, and she was moved when she saw the beautiful Langjun. No matter how beautiful and talented Wang Sanlang is, he can't compare to the imperial power. ”

……

The author has something to say: Remarks:

1. About history books: such as "History of the Tang Dynasty" and "History of the Song Dynasty" were compiled by later dynasties, and the history of this dynasty will never be written with the name of "the name of the dynasty + history of this dynasty", but with the emperor as the name, such as "Taizong Record", "Gaozong Record" and so on...... Later dynasties compiled the history of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty based on these "Records". - "History of the Tang Dynasty" was written by the Five Dynasties, called "Old Tang Book", and the Song Dynasty was newly compiled and called "New Tang Book"; The History of the Song Dynasty was written by the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, if you see people in the Tang Dynasty reading "History of the Tang Dynasty", and people in the Song Dynasty reading "History of the Song Dynasty", it must have crossed over~

2, too. Zu, Gaozu, Taizong, Renzong, Mingzong, Gaozong: these are all temple numbers

The temple name, which means the name of the emperor when he was enshrined in the temple, originated in the Shang Dynasty. In the beginning, not all kings had temple numbers, and the ancestors who had made great contributions to the country and were worthy of eternal sacrifice by their descendants would especially catch up with the temple number in order to regard the meaning of eternal temple worship. - The emperors of the Tang Dynasty had temple numbers.

The Shang Dynasty established, the most primitive temple number is only four, the foundation of the establishment of the industry called "Tai" (Taizu Tang, Taizong Taijia), the meritorious people are called "Gao" (Gaozu Wanghai, Gaozong Wuding), the generation of sacrifices is called "Shi" (Shizu Pangeng, Shizong and A), and the Zhongxing people are called "Zhong" (Zhongzong and B). - The temple numbers of later dynasties are basically in accordance with this.

The third is more than 12 o'clock.
