Chapter 14 1. Xu Wenyuan, a strange man
Li Yuan, the first emperor of the Tang Empire, hadn't gone through the retirement procedures yet, and the second emperor hurriedly sprinted and entered history:
Tang Taizong Li Shimin.
Li Shimin, he is the number one good emperor on the list of Chinese emperors, but he is actually just a vain name.The most honest evaluation, he is just sitting on the body of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang and enjoying the benefits.Yang Guang planted trees and Li Shimin took advantage of the shade—is there any basis for such a statement?
Based on this matter, let’s put it aside for the time being, and first explain the historical problem left over from the previous chapter: Why did Li Yuan seize the world so easily?Where did the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties go?Why don't you come to Chang'an to make trouble?
This reason can be traced back to the early Southern and Northern Dynasties.
In the early Southern and Northern Dynasties, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, there was not even the Great Sui Dynasty, but there was the Western Wei Empire and the Southern Liang Dynasty.At that time, the emperor of Nanliang was Emperor Liang Yuan. He had a younger sister, Princess Anchang, who liked reading since she was a child, and fell in love with a bookworm named Xu Che.He and the princess wife loved each other, and gave birth while studying, and gave birth to two sons in an instant.
Just when the couple was happy and happy, the annoying Western Wei invading army came and destroyed Nanliang without any explanation. They captured all the royal family and took them on the road. Poor Princess Anchang was barefoot, holding A child, crying and embarking on a desperate journey.Walking and walking, walking and walking, while walking, the Western Wei Empire perished inexplicably—it became the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty soon became the Great Sui Dynasty, and now the Great Sui Dynasty became the Great Tang Dynasty, and the country was replaced. It's a little too fast, as the saying goes, after you sing, I will appear on the stage, and the king's flag will change on the top of the city—it's dizzying.
When the Western Wei Dynasty fell, Princess Anchang had just arrived in Yanshi, so the family lived in Yanshi.Not long after, what should I do?The princess took a look, and the two sons have grown up, so what, big treasure and second treasure, you two carry a stack of books that you have finished reading at home to sell outside the door.
The two brothers carried a pile of books, and when they arrived at the door, Dabao was sensible, so he yelled: "Books are sold, books are sold, take a look, they are all good books in limited editions, if you have money, help the market, If you don’t have money, you can go to a personal shop. If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop... Erbao just doesn’t care about other things, and the sky is falling. He just sits on the pile of books and reads.
Passers-by saw this and said, "Hey, that little kid who reads, what about you? You love reading so much. Would you like me to recommend you to study with Mr. Shen, the most knowledgeable man in the world?"
Mr. Shen?Hearing Erbao's milky voice, she said childishly: You mean heavy, right?It's not that I look down on him, Shen Zhong only understands a little bit, he doesn't know the real truth in the book, let him rest.
Ah, this kid is crazy enough!Pedestrians were stunned, telling people everywhere that there was a little mad boy here, and even Mr. Zhong, the most knowledgeable man in the world, ignored him.The news quickly spread to Shen Zhong's ears, so Shen Shen decided to make a private visit in disguise to see whose poor child this is, why is he so uneducated?If you don't give him a taste, this little thing doesn't know how high or low it is.
After Shen Zhong arrived, he squatted down and chatted with Er Bao for a while, his face suddenly became serious, and he asked: "Dare to ask the little bastard... No, dare to ask the child Gao's name?"
Erbao replied: My mother named me Xu Wenyuan.
He said solemnly: Mr. Xu Xiao, in terms of knowledge, I should worship you as my teacher, but with the knowledge in your chest, only peerless heroes are worthy of being your disciple, not to mention my age is a bit too old... that's good , if you don't dislike being old, we can be considered as classmates. Please take the trouble to teach me more, so that I can become a little famous in history in the future...
In this way, the young Xu Wenyuan grew up slowly, and history entered the era of the Great Sui Empire from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.So Xu Wenyuan opened a class to run a school, and sincerely recruited young people with aspirations to sign up for study.On the first day when I signed up for the class, two strange people came.
The first one, with lightning-like eyes and curly beard, looks as scary as it needs to be.
The second one is even more frightening than the first one.With blond hair and blue eyes, sunken eye sockets, high nose bridge, and yellow hair all over his body, he is a foreigner.
Seeing these two strange students who signed up for the study, even Xu Wenyuan was stunned, and asked in a voice: "You two, what the hell are you?"
The first student replied: Report to the teacher, I am not a joke, my name is Li Mi.
The second student replied: Teacher, I am not a joke. I came all the way from the ancient silk road to China. An old lady adopted me and named me Wang Shichong.Now I come to study with you, hoping to become an emperor in your China, please teach me.
You want to be emperor?At that time, Xu Wenyuan almost cried out of anger.I thought in my heart that the students I came here are all some strange students, all of them are demon kings in the world.
He was right—Li Mi and Wang Shichong were the two key figures in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it was because of their mutual competition that Li Yuan's foundation as an emperor was achieved.
