"This Tang Dynasty is very playful" - History is to be easy and fun to read

One person, no peers. - The movie "Assassin Nie Yinniang"

The Tang Dynasty was a glorious and splendid era in Chinese history. Especially in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the political Qingming, economic prosperity, and cultural enlightenment showed a prosperous scene in various aspects such as social life, literature and art. The cultural and martial arts of the Tang Dynasty were also heard from foreign countries, and many countries came to the dynasty and joined them.

In the Tang Dynasty, Asia was a " multi-polar " world, with Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Balhae in the northeast, Turks and Uighurs in the north and northwest, Tubo in the west, and Nanzhao in the southwest. In this world, several nations compete with each other to expand their spheres of influence. These countries sometimes form alliances to fight against third countries, and sometimes they go their own way to achieve their own goals. The distribution of power in each country is scattered and uneven, and no country can always dominate the world. The relationship between these countries is therefore Complex, changeable and unpredictable.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, another rich culture, the Tang Dynasty has a larger and more diverse temperament because of multi-ethnic exchanges and its own strength. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was born after the chaotic Five Dynasties and Sui Dynasties. Such a chaotic era has become the creative material for many writers. For example, the historical fiction writer Drunkard's " Sui Chaos ", which I liked very much when I was a child, and read very impressive novels.

This time, " This Tang Dynasty is very dramatic " starts from the real history, and takes readers to see the history of the Tang Dynasty with a smile.

I like this kind of historical reading experience very much. Like Professor Lu Shihao's historical speculation series , the interesting stories allow readers to be more immersive, think about historical issues from the perspective of the parties, and stay at those points in time, thinking about if it was me , what decisions will be made.

This time, I also want to take the opportunity to tell interesting people who have been forgotten by the times. They may have been swept away by the torrent of the times, but in the era when they lived, they were on the shore, and they might guide the current, or He is the one who organizes the big waves, so before entering the big drama of the Tang Dynasty, I wanted to be the extraditioner to brew the atmosphere of watching this big drama.

The strongest father-in-law in history - Dugu Xin

Duguxin was an extremely important figure in the court no matter in the Western Wei Dynasty or the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Not only can this person mount a horse to fight a war, but what is commendable is that he can govern the people when he dismounts. It can be described as a high-level talent with both military command ability and government affairs processing ability. But in my opinion, the most important ability of this person is not the above two, but the other one - seeing people. Specifically, look at the son-in-law.

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties before the Tang Dynasty were a chaotic period in history, especially after the Five Husbands rioted, the emperors were established and overthrown one by one. In this chaotic period of history, there is one person who can be regarded as the context for understanding this era, Dugu Xin , because his eldest daughter, fourth daughter, and seventh daughter later all had a very noble title, Queen , which means that he was father-in-law of three emperors.

Although this special skill is not necessarily a good thing, because at that time when the emperor was a bet with his life and wealth, he would lose all the capital and profit if he was not careful, but such "seeing people" ability, even in the early years of the Republic of China. Song Jiashu and his third daughters of the Song family (Song Ailing, Soong Ching Ling, Soong Meiling) should all sigh!

Among the three queens of Dugu Xin's family, two of them were married to Yang Jian , the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and the father of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so the Li family still has kinship with the Yang family who was later overthrown.

When it comes to the relationship between relatives and family, the history of the Li family's family history is also a bit confusing. It involves not only the issue of historical origin, but also the issue of ethnic blood, because Duguxin himself is from Xianbei , and some historical materials also record that the Li Yuan family once Daye is a surname (one of the Xianbei surnames), so some experts pointed out that Li Shimin , the emperor of the past, was not a Han, but a Xianbei .

However, this kind of question is actually quite boring. I think as long as people who identify with Chinese culture are the children of Chinese mothers, just like a society with a mother's surname, there will never be a problem of what surname should be.

The history of the Li family's fortune - accurate shooting is the key to success

Take the arrow, buckle the string, draw the bow, aim, shoot. middle! Take the arrow again, buckle the string again, draw the bow again, aim again, and shoot again. Again! After a brief silence, Li Yuan's performance moved everyone present, and there was prolonged applause from the scene. Dou Yi was even more overjoyed and immediately announced that he would betroth his daughter to Li Yuan.

The Li family entered the historical arena from Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu. Li Hu people fought bravely as their name suggests, and ranked among the eight generals of the Western Wei Dynasty . , so that the descendants of the Li family enjoy lifelong salaries and are ranked among the hereditary nobles.

In Li Yuan's generation, he successively served as the governor (prefect) of Qiaozhou, Longzhou, and Qizhou. These three states are strategically located near the capital Chang'an and belong to the capital's economic circle. In addition, it is also regarded as a key training object, which can be said to have a bright future. But as Li Yuan's official position became higher and higher, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang began to be afraid, but this is another story that can be found in the book, so I won't start it here.

Although Li Yuan is not described in history as his second son, Li Shimin, who has come a lot, but Li Yuan also has an interesting little story, and he is the one who is selected in the idiom Que Ping. Back then, Li Yuan's "father-in-law" Dou Yi gave a challenge when choosing a son-in-law. He found a screen with two peacocks painted on it. Demei is a beautiful girl, and Li Yuan became the winner selected by the bird screen with his superb archery skills and psychological quality.

Ruins of the Sui Dynasty - The Last Light

In fact, I always thought that if Zhang Xutuo left like this, the history of Sui and Tang Dynasties would probably be rewritten. However, if Zhang Xutuo really just left, Zhang Xutuo would not be Zhang Xutuo. It should be said that Zhang Xutuo is an excellent leader and a very loyal brother. In order to rescue the brothers who were trapped in the siege, Zhang Xutuo entered and exited the encirclement of the Wagang Army four times in a row, rushing back and forth, and no one could stand it until he found that the comrades who had been in trouble could no longer be found. Now, it's time to live and die.

With the war and chaos in the last years of the dynasty, with the failure of the last emperor Sui Yangdi Yang Guang's second expedition to Goryeo, the land of China was devastated. Shaky. But the era of war is also the era of testing people's minds. There are still many generals in the Sui Dynasty who can turn the tide, such as Yang Yichen, Lai Hu'er, Wang Shichong...

But I especially want to say that Zhang Xutuo , the general, who has read "Sui Chaos" must be particularly impressed by him. Zhang Xutuo, a native of Lang Township, Hongnong (now Lingbao, Henan Province), Zhang Xutuo's road to fame as a general mainly relied on observation and edification. When he was young, he followed the famous generals at that time to quell the rebellion of the Qiang people in Yunnan, and King Yang of the Han Dynasty. Forgive the rebellion in Bingzhou.

Later, General Zhang came to Qi County to serve as the county governor. At that time, Yang Guang was fighting in Goguryeo. The price of grain soared, and it coincided with a famine. Seeing that a rebellion was about to be forced out, he first killed and then played, opened the warehouse and released food to help the hungry, and later received Yang Guang's great award.

Such a good official who is friendly to the people, he became a person when he entered the battlefield, and the rebels soon developed a habit. Where there is Zhang Xutuo, there is no self, and the promised burning, killing and looting turned into a large-scale outdoor scene in Shandong. Running Man. In addition to being the strongest firefighting team, General Zhang also trained two tiger generals, Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao, who later became famous all over the world.

But the troubled times are the most to consume good people, and Zhang Xutuo is still defeated. It happened when the largest resistance force at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wagong Mountain , was attacked. Suddenly, there were soldiers in ambush.

Among the ambush soldiers were the famous Wagang generals Xu Shiji, Wang Bodang, and Shan Xiongxin, who later smashed the world. They brought all the elites, and with the determination to die (you or me), besieged (surrounded) Sui soldiers, but this point of strength said It was naive to want to destroy General Zhang, but Zhang Xutuo, who had broken through the siege, turned around and found that there were still brothers trapped in the enemy's line. So, as soon as he bit his teeth, the general rushed back, entering and exiting like no one, until there were no brothers around him. "How can you see the emperor in your face!" Zhang Xutuo's eyes widened and he looked up to the sky and howled. He completely gave up on himself and went home alone. He dismounted from his horse like crazy, and used his own blood to protect his hometown in the end. Exhausted and dead...

Before entering the world of the Tang Dynasty

Heroes and heroes have fallen one by one, but the splendid cultural color of the Tang Dynasty is just about to start a chapter. Li Shimin, Li Jing, Wu Zetian, the useless poems, the flowering of Buddhist culture, etc., I hope all can be found in this book " This Tang Dynasty " Very Drama " to discover interesting stories, the Tang Dynasty is too interesting, it is most suitable for this style of writing to tell three days and three nights.

This book is also recommended for children who are gifted in thinking, as an enlightenment book for them to discover the humanities of this world, and let them know that ancient people who seem far away, even adults, turned out to be so lovable, cute and urgent. Angry facets.

Although war and death are the true face of these bloody experiences, it is fortunate that we have withdrawn from the present and regarded history as watching a drama. Do? I hope this kind of thinking game can allow readers to gain more valuable experience in life.
