In recent years, some people have completely distorted the history of the late Tang Dynasty and the history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, believing that the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are the history of the overthrow of the upper strata at the bottom, the history of the weak rebelling against the strong, and the history of the overthrow of the gate valve from the bottom.

Is this the case?

As we can see from the history of the five dynasties, this is not the case.

The lords of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms who finally founded the country were all representatives of the various gate lords, and without the support of the gate lords, they would not have been able to ascend to the throne.

We say that the Tang Dynasty was a dynasty that paid attention to the status of the gate valve, and some people were led astray by the novels on the Internet, thinking that the gate valves were all killed, where are the gate valves, and this period is the era of the rise of the little people.

Not really.

Not only did the gate valve not kill everything, but also a new gate valve and a new power group emerged.

And this premise is that this person must have a background, and he is by no means at the bottom of society.

Let's talk about Zhu Wen of the Tang Dynasty first.

His background is not Bai Ding, his father is a professor of the Five Classics. He was reused from thieves, and later Zhao'an became the executioner of the slaughter of the rebels, climbed to a high position step by step, and finally replaced Tang Liliang.

Let's talk about the Tang of Liang, that is, Li Cunqiao.

His family is a Shatuo nobleman, with 10,000 horsemen, known as the Shatuo Army.

Jin of the Tang Dynasty, that is, Shi Jingjiao.

Their family is a Shatuo nobleman who returned to the Tang Dynasty with Li Keyong's family, and they are also people with status, otherwise the Shatuo people would not recognize an ordinary person as their emperor.

The Han of the Jin Dynasty, that is, Liu Zhiyuan, he is also a nobleman of Shatuo, and Shi Jingjiao has the same reason, he has an identity and an identity.

Dai Han's Zhou, that is, Guo Wei.

His father is the Shunzhou Thorn History, has an identity, and the family is in the army, remember, he has an identity.

Chai Rong's aunt is Guo Wei's wife, and after Guo Wei's death, Chai Rong naturally ascended the throne and became the emperor, still called Zhou.

Just ask, which person is a mud leg without identity?

In the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the end of the Tang Dynasty or any other dynasty, if you want to become a master, first of all, you must have a good background, you must have an identity, at least have a little bit of contact with the family of gate valves, and then you are qualified to become a member of it.

This is the real Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

It's not the nonsense in online novels, what kind of people at the bottom can climb up by fighting, killing and killing, this is all nonsense, only people in their circle are qualified to be their representatives, otherwise what awaits you is killing.

As for those who do not make it, it is possible to be on the following grams for a short time, but there is basically no good fruit to eat, and they are quickly killed. Because you don't have an identity, you sit in that position and can't obey the public, so as soon as you climb up, you're going to be overthrown, that's the truth.

The reason why I am writing this is to tell you that in ancient times, it was impossible to climb up from the bottom, unless you entered their circle by chance, otherwise, it was absolutely impossible. Of course, when changing the dynasty, there is a certain chance that someone who will come out by military merit, but he will never become the top-level figure, such as the emperor.

In ancient times, the emperor and the scholars ruled the world together, which fully illustrates the status of the family gatekeeper. The emperor is just a representative, just a member of the gatekeepers.

It's hard to say whether Zhu Yuanzhang is a special case, maybe he is really at the bottom of society, maybe it's a story made up by later generations.
