Emperor Yangdi (Yang Guang) has always been known for his cruelty. In fact, he is also very talented, but his talent has not been used properly, but it has become a condition on which he despises literati. Several ministers with outstanding literary talents were killed by him for an excuse. In addition, his literary talent is also used to refuse coachable. If it is seen that whose paper refers to his fault and is remonstrating, he will definitely try his best to retaliate, because there are many ministers who have been given suicide because the content of their speeches stimulated Emperor Yangdi. After three expeditions to Koryo, Tarshish ordered Yu to persuade him not to cruise in Luoyang, saying that the people should have a chance to breathe, and he was killed. After a long time, ministers did not dare to give advice. This creates favorable conditions for the villains to run amok.
Emperor Wen of Sui (54 1 year -604), a native of Huayin, Hongnong (now Huayin East, Shaanxi Province), was the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty when he attacked the Duke of Sui. In the first year of Dading (58 1 year), he proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of Zhou Dynasty, with the title of "Sui", and he was renamed Emperor of Sui. In the ninth year of Emperor Kai (589), the army of the Sui Dynasty crossed the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, captured Chen Dujiankang (now Nanjing), captured the late ruler Chen Shubao, and the Chen Dynasty perished. At this point, the split between North and South, which lasted for nearly 300 years since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, came to an end, which was a great historical achievement of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty.
Emperor of Tang Dynasty:
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (Li Longji) entered the ancient entertainment circle, which was a great encouragement for many actors. In the "Liyuan" troupe, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty likes to play the clown very much. Whenever there is a clown to play in the drama, regardless of the size of the role, Emperor Xuanzong always plays it very seriously. Because he is the king of a country, he performed on the stage and played the clown, which was beneath the dignity of the emperor, so during the performance, he deliberately hung a small piece of white jade on his face to cover his face. Later, when the clown artists were acting, they followed the example of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and painted a piece of white powder similar to a piece of white jade on their faces. Over time, the clown mask on the stage of today's opera was formed.
Tang Gaozu (566 ~ 635), namely Li Yuan, founder of the Tang Dynasty. He reigned from 618 to 626 ad. The word uncle de. Zhao Jun Zhao Qing (now Longyaodong, Hebei Province) is from Saibei. Attack the Duke of Tang. In the 13th year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (6 17), he served as the prefect and stayed behind. When the Sui Dynasty collapsed under the attack of the peasant uprising, he rose up and took Chang 'an, and the Tang Dynasty was established the following year. After the change of Xuanwumen, he was transferred to the second son Shimin, who was called the emperor's father.
Tang Gaozu tang gaozu was born in the northern zhou dynasty at the end of the northern and southern dynasties, and at the age of seven he attacked the duke of tang. He is charming, open-minded, willful, straightforward, tolerant and tolerant. Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty, Queen Dugu, is his aunt, so she has been a senior official in the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Yangdi was dissolute and heartless, and Li Yuan secretly married many heroes.
Although Tang gaozu is not very good, it is ironic that he decided to fight against Sui, but he was tricked by a honey trap.
At the beginning, Emperor Yangdi indulged in debauchery in Jiangdu, and the world was full of wind and smoke, and the country of the Sui Dynasty was already crumbling. Li Yuanguan stayed in Taiyuan, and his son, Li Shimin, was ambitious. He devoted himself to his disciples and made friends with many heroes. Jinyang made Liu Wenjing frequent contacts with the Palace Supervisor Pei Ji and Li Shimin. Liu Wenjing highly valued Li Shimin, and advised him to take advantage of the chaos in the world to enter the customs in order to achieve the imperial industry. Li Shimin had this idea, just afraid that Tang gaozu wouldn't follow, so Liu Wenjing discussed a plan with Li Shimin.
The next day, Li Shimin will plot to tell the palace supervisor Pei Ji, and Pei Ji also planned something. Another day, Pei Ji gave a banquet in Jin Yanggong to invite Tang gaozu. Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Gaozu of Sui Dynasty, built a Daxing City in the east of Chang 'an, and Emperor Yangdi later built Luoyang, the eastern capital, and he set up palaces in both places. Jin Yanggong is one of the palaces, and Pei Ji is the official in charge of the palace.
Tang gaozu went to the palace for dinner, and he was drunk and dizzy with countless wines and delicacies. Suddenly, two stunning beauties came in outside the door. They toasted Tang gaozu together, and soon Tang gaozu was as drunk as a fiddler. Two beautiful women helped Tang gaozu to sleep, and Tang gaozu went to bed with two beautiful women in a muddle. When he woke up, he smelled a strange fragrance, and he was very surprised. Then he looked at the two beautiful women around him in the quilt. Tang gaozu asked the names and identities of the two beauties, who claimed to be a palace official. Li Yuan was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky. He stood up trembling in his clothes. Two beauties quickly comforted him and said, "The Lord has lost his virtue, and everything has been separated in chaos. Without the protection of the public, my concubine will inevitably be defiled. Therefore, Pei Ji asked me to entrust myself to you, hoping to save my life in troubled times."
Where did Tang gaozu dare to speak? He hurried out of the palace and met Pei Ji. Li Yuan grabbed Pei Ji and asked, "Why did you hurt me? ！” Pei Ji smiled and told Li Shimin about dispatch troops to Li Yuan. He said, "Now it's stolen all over the world, and the battlefield is outside the city gate. Even if you are partial, you will inevitably die. If the righteous teacher can not only avoid disaster, but also get the country. " Tang gaozu returned home and hesitated for a few days. He gritted his teeth and decided to oppose Sui. Pei Ji also offered five hundred ladies-in-waiting, nine million meters of welcome, fifty thousand pieces of miscellaneous colors and four hundred thousand pieces of armor to help. Pei Ji's offering of five hundred ladies-in-waiting may be as a military prostitute.
After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, after several years of hard fighting, Li Yuan unified the whole country, created the foundation of the Tang Dynasty for 290 years, and the ancient history of China entered the most glorious era.
When the ancients described China's dynasties, there was a proverb: Confucian Classics, Jin Qing Tan, Tang Turtle, Song snot, clean and sloppy. The so-called "turtle in the Tang Dynasty" means that there are so many things in the court of the Tang Dynasty, and many emperors put on green hats inexplicably. But the wife of the founding emperor Li Yuan, Empress Dou, is just the opposite. She is a rare and good wife.
Tang gaozu's wife, Dou Shi, is from Jingzhao Shiping. Her father is Dou Yi, the general manager of Dingzhou in Sui Dynasty and SHEN WOO, and her mother is princess royal, the sister of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Dynasty. Dou's hair hung over his neck when he was born, and when he was three years old, his waterfall-like black hair grew flush with his body. She likes reading biographies such as "Women's Commandments" and "Lienv", and has the ability to never forget anything.
Emperor Wu of Zhou especially liked this niece and let her live in the palace. At that time, Emperor Wu of Zhou took a Turkic woman as his queen, but he hated this Turkic woman. The young Doushi quietly said to Emperor Wu of Zhou: "Now the four sides are restless, and the power of the Turks is still very strong. I hope that my uncle will suppress his feelings and comfort the Turkic queen, and think of the whole life. As long as the Turks help, Jiangnan and Kanto can't suffer. " Emperor Wu of Zhou was very surprised at her words and took her advice.
When his father Dou Yi heard this, he said to his wife princess royal, "Our daughter is so talented and beautiful that we can't be married to ordinary people. We should get a good husband for her." So when her daughter grew up and got married, Dou Yi drew two peacocks on the screen at the door, gave each suitor two arrows to shoot them, and let Dou hide in the curtain to secretly see if there was a man he liked.
Dozens of suitors failed to shoot the peacock before and after, and then Li Yuan came. He drew his bow and hit the peacock in one eye. Dou Yi was very happy, and Dou Shi, who was hiding behind him, also took a fancy to Tang gaozu, a charming man. So they formed a good marriage.
After the death of Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty, Dou's family kept thinking about it as if he had lost his biological father. Later, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty forced the emperor to meditate on the northern weekend. When Dou heard the news, she burst into tears. She threw herself on the bed and said, "I hate that I am not a man to save my uncle's distress!" Dou Yi and princess royal quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is genocide!"
Dou served Empress Yuan Zhen and was famous for her filial piety. Empress Yuanzhen has always been ill, and often reached the point of death. Because of the strict temperament of the Empress Dowager, the concubines in the harem left in a hurry when they visited. Only Doushi served day and night, hardly taking off his clothes, shoes and socks, and spent a month at a time.
Emperor of Song Dynasty:
Song Taizu, Zhao Kuangyin, Chen Qiao mutinied and became a yellow robe.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin (927 -976) was the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. Zhuozhou people, father Zhao Hongyin for the late Tang, Jin and Han officers. Zhao Kuangyin enlisted in the early years of the later Han Dynasty and became a subordinate of Guo Wei. After Guo Wei launched a mutiny to establish the Zhou Dynasty, he actively participated in it and was reused as the imperial guard. Zhou Shizong Chai Rongshi, he was promoted to the front of the temple for the meritorious military service. Mastered the military power of the later Zhou Dynasty.
After the death of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, Chai Zongxun, the 7-year-old only son, ascended the throne. This is Emperor Zhou Gong. Because he was too young, he was assisted by Prime Minister Fan Zhi and Wang Pu. The political situation was unstable, people's hearts were floating, and rumors spread everywhere. Some officials who were loyal to the Zhou Dynasty were immediately keenly aware that the root of the unrest was Zhao Kuangyin, pointing out that Zhao Kuangyin should no longer take charge of the imperial army, and some even advocated pre-emptive strike and killing Zhao Kuangyin as soon as possible. But Emperor Gong of Zhou just changed his position as Zhao Kuangyin, the German army's time, and the school's inspector.
At this point, Zhao Kuangyin and his confidants are also stepping up their activities. It is an obvious fact that in the half year after Zhou Shizong's death, the arrangement of the senior generals of the imperial army changed absolutely in favor of Zhao Kuangyin. Let's look at the pre-temple department system first. The pre-temple deputy, who has been vacant for a long time, was appointed by Murong Yanzhao. Murong Zhao is a young friend of Zhao Kuangyin and has an unusual relationship. Originally, the vacant post of Yu Hou in front of the temple was held by Wang Shenqi, who was also Zhao Kuangyin's "vast friend in cloth". Like Shi Shouxin, who had already served as the commander in front of the temple, he was the core figure in Zhao Kuangyin's influence circle. In this way, all the positions of senior generals in the whole front office system were held by people from Zhao Kuangyin. Look at the bodyguard system again. Among the senior generals in this system, it turned out that Zhao Kuangyin only had the friendship of "brothers" with Han Lingkun. At that time, he was leading the troops stationed in Yangzhou, Huainan. In fact, only the deputy commander Han Tong was left in the capital. Although he was not from Zhao Kuangyin, he was alone and could not compete with Zhao Kuangyin.
In the seventh year of Xiande (960), on the first day of the first month, the late Zhou Dynasty was celebrating the New Year, when they suddenly received the report of the invasion of Liao and Northern Han, and the ministers were in a panic. With the consent of Prime Minister Fan Zhi and Wang Pu, the little emperor Chai Zongxun ordered Zhao Kuangyin to lead the imperial army to meet them.
Zhao Kuangyin received an order to send troops, immediately dispatched troops, and led his troops out of the city on the second day of the first month. He was accompanied by his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi and his trusted counselor Zhao Pu. In the afternoon, I arrived in Chen Qiaoyi, which was dozens of miles away. In the evening, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot and have a rest. The soldiers fell asleep and watched it, but some generals gathered together to discuss it quietly. Someone said, "Now that the emperor is so young, we are fighting to the death. Who knows our contribution in the future? It is better to support Zhao Dianjian as emperor now!" Hearing this, everyone agreed with this opinion, so they asked an official to tell Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu this opinion first.
When the official arrived at Zhao Kuangyi's place, the generals had already rushed in, flashed bright knives and shouted, "We have decided that we must take the spot check." Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu were secretly pleased. At the same time, they told everyone that they must stabilize their morale and not cause chaos. At the same time, they quickly sent Guo Yanbin, a close confidant of Zhao Kuangyin, to secretly return to Beijing, and informed Shi Shouxin and Wang Shenqi, the generals who stayed in Beijing, to take care of the gates inside and outside Beijing. Before long, the news spread all over the barracks. The men all got up, and everyone clamoured to the posthouse where Zhao Kuangyin lived until it turned white.
In the evening, Zhao Kuangyin pretended not to know, got drunk and fell asleep. When he woke up, he only heard a noise outside. Then, someone opened the door and shouted loudly, saying, "Please be the emperor!" Zhao Kuangyin got up quickly, and before he could speak, a few people put a yellow robe that had already been prepared, and too many cooks draped it over Zhao Kuangyin. Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, shouting "Long live". Then, pushing and pulling, he helped Zhao Kuangyin onto the horse and invited him back to Beijing.
Zhao Kuangyin rode on a horse before he said, "Since you have made me the son of heaven, can you all obey my orders?"
The soldiers replied in unison: "Naturally, I will obey your majesty's orders."
Zhao Kuangyin issued an order: After arriving in Beijing, the Empress Dowager and the young master of the Zhou Dynasty should be protected, and the imperial ministers should not be infringed, and the state warehouses should not be looted. Those who carry out orders will be rewarded in the future, otherwise they will be dealt with strictly.
Zhao Kuangyin is the imperial commander in chief, plus the generals support, who dare not listen to orders! The soldiers lined up for Beijing. All the way, the military appearance was neat, and Qiu did not commit any crimes.
When I arrived in Bianjing, Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi and others worked as insiders, and it didn't take much effort to win the capital.
The generals called Fan Zhi and Wang Pu. When Zhao Kuangyin met them, he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Sejong has been very kind to me. Now I am forced into this state by soldiers. What do you say? "
Fan Zhi and others don't know how to answer. There is a general expression cried:
"We don't have a master. Today, everyone must please check the day! "
Fan Zhi and Wang Pu were so scared that they bowed down quickly.
Emperor Gong of Zhou gave up his seat. Zhao Kuangyin acceded to the throne and became emperor. His country name was Song, and his capital was Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan). Historically known as the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin is Song Taizu. After more than 50 years of melee in the Five Dynasties, it came to an end.
Song Huizong (Zhao Ji) Digs Tunnels Secret Meeting Famous Prostitute Li Shishi: Li Shishi is the daughter of Wang Yin, a dyeing craftsman in Yongqingfang, Bianjing. Wang Yin's wife died after giving birth to her daughter, and Wang Yin fed her with soybean milk, so the baby didn't die. I never heard her cry when I was a baby. There is a custom in Bianjing that children are born. If parents dote on them, they must be allowed to become monks in name and spend a period in Buddhist temples. Wang Yin loved his daughter, so he sent her to Baoguang Temple. Only then did she laugh. An old monk looked at her and said, "What is this place? Come here! " She burst into tears. The monk touched her head and she didn't cry. Wang Yin was secretly happy and said, "This girl is really blessed with Buddha." All Buddhist disciples are commonly called "teachers", so this girl is named "teachers". When Shi Shi was four years old, Wang Yin committed a crime, was arrested and imprisoned, and died in prison. There was no one to rely on, and a prostitute Li Lao adopted her. When the teacher is older, she is excellent in both beauty and skill, and no one can match her. Therefore, she is the most famous brothel in all the neighborhoods.
Emperor Huizong ascended the throne and enjoyed a luxurious life. Cai Jing, Zhang Chun and Wang Fu, on the grounds of inheriting their ancestors' wishes, advised Huizong to re-implement the "Young crops law" and other systems. The capital is painted into a rich and happy atmosphere. The wine tax in the market shops is about tens of thousands every day. The treasury is full of gold, silver, pearls, jade, silks and satins. So Tong Guan's people induced the emperor to indulge in debauchery, dogs and horses, and palace gardens. Almost all the exotic flowers and stones in China have been collected. The emperor also built a detached palace in the north of Bianjing City, named "Genyue", but he had fun in it, and after a long time, he was tired of it, and he wanted to go out of the palace incognito and make love. The emperor had a personal chamberlain named Johnny, who was trusted and loved by the emperor. Before Johnny was castrated, he was a prostitute in Beijing, and he often went to brothels everywhere, so he was very close to Li Lao. He told the emperor that the surname Li was excellent in color and art, and the emperor was very moved. The next day, Johnny was ordered to take out two pieces of purple velvet (eight zhangs), two pieces of Xiagui (twelve zhangs), two pieces of se se beads and 20 pieces of silver (four hundred and eighty-two) from the palace treasury and give them to Li Lao, saying that Zhao Yi, a big businessman, wanted to visit her. Li Lao is greedy for property and happily agrees to come down.
After nightfall, the emperor changed his clothes and mingled with more than forty eunuchs, and arrived at Zhen 'anfang, which is the block where Li Lao lived. The emperor waved to other people not to follow, and only walked in slowly with Johnny. I saw the house was short and humble. Li Lao came out to meet him, made common etiquette, and brought out several kinds of fresh fruits, such as fragrant snow lotus root and crystal cheng, among which fresh dates were as big as eggs. These are all things that even the big officials never brought out when they came. The emperor tasted one of everything, and Li Lao accompanied him politely for a long time, but he just didn't see the teacher come out to see the guests. The emperor has been waiting. At this moment, Johnny left and withdrew, and Li Lao led the emperor to a small pavilion. There is a desk by the window, a few volumes of ancient books on the shelf, and a few clumps of bamboo outside the window, and the bamboo shadows are shaking in disorder. The emperor sat leisurely alone, feeling very peaceful, but he didn't see the teacher come out to accompany him. After a while, Li Lao led the emperor to the back hall, only to see that famous dishes such as roasted venison, drunken chicken, sashimi and mutton soup were set on the table. The rice was made of fragrant rice, and the emperor had a meal.
After dinner, Li Lao chatted with him, and after a long time, the teacher never came out to meet each other. The emperor was puzzled. Li Lao suddenly invited the emperor to take a bath. The emperor refused to take a bath. Li Lao came up to him and said in his ear, "I love cleanliness, please listen to her." The emperor had to follow Li Lao to take a bath in the bathroom below a small building. After washing, Li Lao led the emperor to sit in the back hall. Re-set a table of fruits, cakes and dining tables, and advised the emperor to drink freely, but Li Shishi never appeared. It was a long time before Li Lao took the candle and led the emperor to the bedroom. The emperor lifted the curtain and walked into the room. There was only a light in it. And there's no sign of division. The emperor was even more surprised and walked up and down in front of the bed. It was a long time before Li Lao came holding a young woman in his arm. The woman is wearing light makeup, silk clothes, and nothing gorgeous. She has just taken a shower and is as delicate as a lotus flower out of water. When I saw Huizong, I looked like I was dismissive. I looked very proud and didn't salute. Li Lao whispered to Huizong, "This child likes to sit still and offends you. Please don't take it personally." Put down the curtain for them and went out. At this time, the teacher left his seat, took off his black silk jacket, put on his silk coat, rolled up his right sleeve, took off the piano hanging on the wall, leaned against the table, sat down squarely and played the song "Wild Goose in Pingsha". Fingers gently twist on the string, and the pop-up sound is faint, so the emperor can't help but listen to it and even forget his fatigue. By the time it is played three times, the chicken has crowed and it will be dawn. The emperor quickly lifted the curtain and went out. Li Lao also quickly offered him snacks such as apricot crisp dew, jujube cake and soup cake. The emperor drank a cup of apricot crisp and left at once. The eunuchs secretly waited outside and immediately escorted him back to the palace. This happened on August 17th, the third year of Daguan.
Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty:
The origin of Kublai Khan and instant-boiled mutton: Instant-boiled mutton is a well-known food in China, and it is said that its origin is also related to Kublai Khan in Yuan Shizu. Until now, in Japan and South Korea, some people call eating hot pot "Kublai Khan".
The legend of instant-boiled mutton originated in Yuan Dynasty. More than 700 years ago, Kublai Khan, commander-in-chief of Yuan Shizu, made an expedition to the south. After many battles, he was exhausted and hungry. Kublai Khan suddenly remembered the local food in his hometown-stewed mutton. So he ordered his men to kill the sheep and burn the fire. Just as the fireman was slaughtering the sheep and cutting the meat, the detective horse suddenly rushed into the account panting and told the enemy brigade to catch up, only ten miles away. But Kublai Khan, who was so hungry, was so eager to eat mutton that he ordered the troops to leave and shouted, "Mutton! Mutton! Of course, stewed mutton can't wait, but raw mutton can't be served for the coach to eat. What should I do? At this time, I saw the coach striding towards the stove. The chef knew that he was grumpy, so he used his quick wits to quickly cut more than ten thin pieces of meat and put them in boiling water for a few times. When the meat color changed, he immediately fished people out of the bowl, removed the fine salt, chopped green onion and Jiang Mo, and gave them to the guard who had just arrived at the stove.
Kublai Khan grabbed the pieces of meat and sent them to the import. After several bowls, he waved and threw bowls, turned over and mounted the horse, and bravely led the army to meet the enemy. As a result, he won the victory and captured the enemy generals alive.
When preparing for the celebration banquet, Kublai Khan specially ordered the mutton slices he ate before the war. This time, the chef carefully selected the "big trident" and "upper brain" tender meat of high-quality sheep legs, cut them into even slices, and served them with sesame sauce, fermented bean curd, pepper, chives and other seasonings. After rinsing, they were fresh and delicious, and the generals were full of praise after eating them. Kublai Khan even smiled. The chef quickly stepped forward and said, "This Lai has no name yet. Please give it a name." Kublai Khan smiled and replied, "I think it's called instant-boiled mutton!" What do the generals think? " Since then, instant-boiled mutton has become a palace delicacy.
But it was not until Guangxu that instant-boiled mutton gradually became popular.
Genghis Khan was bitten off his genitals and died: Genghis Khan Mausoleum. This mausoleum is only the cenotaph of Genghis Khan. As for where Khan's body is buried, it is still an unsolved mystery.
Genghis Khan left many mysteries for later generations, which hung the appetite of countless people. Among them, the most fascinating historical suspense is related to death: First, how did you die? Second, where to bury the dead?
Here, let's talk about how to die first.
According to the Records of Yuan Shi, which was compiled at the end of the year when Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor (A.D. 1368), Genghis Khan's death was very clear, and he was seriously ill and died: "Autumn and July (A.D. 1227) left noon, and he was not prepared. I am ugly and collapsed in the palace of the old disciples in Surrey. " Song Lian, the editor-in-chief of Yuan Shi and a great literary official, explained the process of the collapse of a generation of Tianjiao in just 20 words. However, the words seem to be concise, but in fact they are vague, so later generations have always figured out how Genghis Khan died; According to Mongolian folklore, Genghis Khan was bitten off by Princess Xixia and died.
There are about five causes of death of Genghis Khan, most of which are related to Xixia.
Among them, the most orthodox one, which is also known by more people, is the "falling horse theory" adopted in the History of Yuan Dynasty.
Falling horse theory
The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty compiled by Mongols (Volume 14) records that "Cheng Jisi lived in the winter and wanted to levy Tang Wu. From the new point of the army to the autumn of the dog year, I went to levy Tang Wu, and my wife followed suit. In winter, Yu 'er was not hunting on the ground. Cheng Jisi rode a red sand horse and was surprised by the wild horse. Cheng Jisi fell off his horse and was injured, so he went to camp on the ground. The next day, Mrs. Yesui said to the king and all the officials,' The emperor is so feverish tonight that you can discuss it.' "
"Tang Wu" was what the Mongols called the Xixia people in those days; "Year of the Dog" is the second year of Baoqing in Song Lizong (AD 1226). Here is a historical fact. In the autumn of 1226, Genghis Khan took his wife to conquer Xixia Kingdom. In winter, I hunt in a place called Ar 'erhui. I didn't want to ride a red sand horse, but I was surprised by a wild horse, which caused Genghis Khan, who was unguarded, to fall off the horse and get injured. He started a high fever that night. 1227 July "not prepared", the root of the disease is here. Why did a fall from a horse hurt like this? It is said that there is too much bleeding.
At that time, I also asked the generals who followed me to discuss what to do about it. It was suggested that the Xixia city was here anyway, and I couldn't escape for a while. I simply went back to recuperate and attacked again when I was ready. Genghis Khan was strong all his life, thinking that if he went back like this, he would make Xixia people laugh. It's time for him to break the Xixia kingdom. When Genghis Khan sent personnel to the Xixia kingdom to inquire about the situation, it happened that Xixia's minister, Asha, laughed at it. If you dare, you will come and deal with it. When Genghis Khan heard about it, he said that he would rather die than withdraw, so he advanced into Helan Mountain and killed Asha. However, since then, Genghis Khan's injury has not been good, but has worsened. He died of illness on July 12 (now August 25 in the solar calendar) in 1227, at the age of 67. If Genghis Khan had gone back then, the root of the disease would not have fallen.
Lightning has always been regarded as the most terrible natural force by the ancients. The deity in ancient Chinese characters is the image of holding lightning in both hands. After Genghis Khan's death 18, an envoy of the Holy See came to Mongolia and found that Mongolians were also very afraid of lightning. The stranger also made a judgment that Genghis Khan died of lightning.
Lightning stroke theory
This statement is quite far away. John, the Vatican envoy to Mongolia? Pranno? Gabini revealed in his article that Genghis Khan was probably killed by lightning. John? Pranno? When Gabini arrived in Mongolia at that time, he found that lightning injuries occurred frequently in summer. "There were fierce lightning strikes and lightning there, causing many deaths." For this reason, Mongolians are very afraid of lightning. Peng Daya's "A Brief Account of the Black Tatar" in the Southern Song Dynasty records that "every time a Tatar hears thunder, he will bow down to the ground with his ears covered, if he avoids it." John? Pranno? Gabini, a Portuguese, was sent to China in A.D. 1245- 1247, and was sent by Pope Northam IV. After he returned, he submitted to the Pope a mission report entitled "The History of the Mongols We Called Tatars". John? Pranno? Gabini came only 18 years before Genghis Khan died, more than Kyle? Polo was 30 years earlier, and narrative is not nonsense.
"Poisoning theory"
This statement comes from Kyle? Polo's travels. Kyle? Polo, an Italian businessman in the 13th century, arrived in China on 1275. At that time, it was the time when Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu was in power, and the Yuan Dynasty had 17 years of contacts. The cause of death of Genghis Khan described in his travel notes: when attacking Xixia and besieging Taijin (Jizhou, an ancient fortress), he was unfortunately shot by Xixia soldiers in the knee. As a result, it can be imagined that the poison arrow attacks the heart, the injury is heavier, and you can't afford to get sick. However, there is another folk legend that Genghis Khan died of "poisoning", but he was not poisoned by Xixia soldiers, but was poisoned by the captured Xixia princess Gulbolejin Guo Wohatun, who took the opportunity to accompany him at that time.
Emperor of Ming dynasty:
Secret of Ming Xizong, a "gifted carpenter": In ancient China, the emperor was called the son of heaven. Since he was the son of heaven, he was bound to have supreme authority and enjoy endless splendor. However, the identity of the son of heaven also prevented them from enjoying the life of civilians freely. There was such a son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty. If he didn't become an emperor, he would definitely be a good carpenter, that is, Ming Xizong lived in Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of Mingxi, was a very distinctive emperor among the emperors of the past dynasties. He was ingenious and had a strong interest in making woodwork. He had to do carpentry such as cutting with a knife, chiseling with an axe, and rubbing paint with painters. His hand-made lacquerware, bed, comb box, etc., are all decorated with colorful, exquisite and unexpected. Recorded in history books; During the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, the beds made by craftsmen were extremely heavy, and only a dozen people could move them. They used a lot of materials and had a very common style. Xizong pondered on his own, designed the pattern, sawed the wooden nail board himself, and made a bed in more than a year's time. The bed board can be folded, and it is very convenient to carry and move. There are also various patterns carved on the bedstead, which is beautiful and generous, and was amazed by the craftsmen at that time. Ming Xizong is also good at making small toys out of wood. The small wooden figures he made, men, women and children, all have a look, five senses and limbs, all of which are equipped, and their movements are also very vivid. Xizong also sent the prison supervisor to the market for sale, and the city people bought it at a heavy price. Xizong was even happier, often staying up until midnight and often making eunuchs around him his assistants.
Place names in Beijing and Zhu Di (Ming Chengzu): Today, there are many place names related to horse characters and emperors' tracks in Dongba area of Chaoyang, such as Machang, stable, Pony Ovary and Palace Temple. Why? After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, in order to safeguard the security of the royal family, he sent his sons to major towns in the north and famous cities in China. Among them, the fourth son, Zhu Di, was named the prince of Beiping.
After his accession to the throne, Emperor Jianwen felt threatened, so he cut off the vassals and reduced his five uncles to Shu Ren. Before being cleaned up, Zhu Di, the prince of Yan who was far away from Peiping, took advantage of his painstaking efforts and strategies for many years. On July 1399, he rose from Peiping and took Nanjing directly. The name is to eradicate the traitors around the emperor and eliminate disasters for the country. Unexpectedly, just out of Beiping, today Dongba confronted the enemy from the south and started fighting. This is the intersection of Beiping, which bears heavy mountains and faces Pinglu. The waters of the mountains connect the river with the sea, and the Bahe River, Liangma River and Wenyu River meet.
Zhu Di rode a Qingqi horse and was chased by the enemy to a river ditch. Seeing that he was going to die, he asked the mount in desperation, can you cross this ditch and let me escape? With a shake of the reins, the horse carried Zhu Di ceng across three river valleys, threw off its pursuers, saved the day, and was finally exhausted. Zhu Di was able to fall into Tongzhou, Jizhou, Dezhou, Jinan, Suzhou and Yangzhou./kloc-0 captured Nanjing in June/402, and declared himself emperor in July, with the title Yongle. After the capital was moved to Beiping and changed to Beijing, the Temple of Horses was built in Dongba to commemorate the teacher's distress and his brave mount at the beginning of the year, and the horses were molded for the temple to be sacrificed to the gods.
Legend has it that after the temple was built, the horse came to life and often ruined crops at night. The peasants were so miserable that they stole the temple and destroyed it. Legend goes back to legend. After Zhu Di moved to Beijing, Dongba was once the imperial horse garden of the Ming Dynasty because of its rich aquatic plants and suitable for raising royal horses. There is a horse factory built every three or four miles here, with more than 20 large and small horses and a number of horses, which can be described as blooming everywhere. Every horse factory has a fence, and there is a stable in the wall. The grass outside the wall is flat and the horses are leisurely. When the mare is pregnant and gives birth, she covers the foal ovary and is responsible for delivering the baby.
1452, Emperor Jingtai also ordered to build 30 camel houses in Dongba and raise camels. 1460, the emperor Ming Yingzong, who lost the throne and succeeded in restoration, gloated and changed his title to Tianshun. This year, he visited Dongba in person and inspected the ceremonial guards at the Horse Factory.
The Imperial Horse Garden is so valued by the emperor that it is necessary to set up a shrine to commemorate it, and the ritual system is also high. It is not under the leadership of ordinary sacrificial officials, but directly under the Guanglu Temple, which specializes in court sacrifices. Every year, during the Spring Festival, the Winter Solstice and the Emperor's birthday, eunuchs or courtiers in the palace come to pay homage. By the Wanli period, the number of stables had increased to 24, and the eunuch built a wall in Dongba for ostentation and extravagance. Every time I come to check my work, I have to sit and drink on the tower until late at night. At the gates, fireworks are lit to add fun, and the excitement is like the Lantern Festival.
All this is gone. And horse factory, stable, foal ovary, palace temple and other place names related to horse characters and emperors' tracks have survived ...
Qing emperor:
Kangxi (Emperor Xuanye of Qing Dynasty) and "Offering Fish at the Palace Gate": "Offering Fish at the Palace Gate" was originally a folk dish named "Belly Flower Fish", which was cooked with fresh mandarin fish as the main ingredient. According to legend, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty visited Jiangnan in 1670 and tasted this dish for the first time during an unannounced visit to Gongmenling. And he wrote the four characters of "fish at the palace gate", followed by the inscription "Xuanye". The store owner didn't know who Xuanye was, but he saw that the handwriting was beautiful and hung it on the wall.
The story of Qianlong's "Writing on New Year's Day": On New Year's Day in the first month of Jiaqing's first year of Qing Dynasty (A.D.100: 00 on February 9, 796), the delayed ringing of the New Year's bell and drums and firecrackers outside the Forbidden City were still floating in the night sky. In hall of mental cultivation, Emperor Qianlong got up early. At the age of 86, he is still in a trance in his mind about two sentences in the poem "New Year's Eve" written the night before: this day is dry and long, and it is the year of Jiaqing in the Ming Dynasty.
According to Jiaqing, as early as sixty years after Qianlong announced him as the Crown Prince, he was called to hall of mental cultivation to teach the ritual of "opening the window and writing" on New Year's Day. Therefore, Jiaqing completely copied his father's words and sentences. The only and most important difference is that, instead of writing "Sixty-one years of Qianlong", the year of Jiaqing was written impressively. There is only one "Jin Ou Yong Gu" cup, which should be placed in the hall of mental cultivation of the old emperor, and the Tu Su wine in Yuqing Palace can be placed in any other cup. However, I don't know whether the year number in the book of the Constitution read by the parallel is "Qianlong" or "Jiaqing". What is certain, however, is that on New Year's Day this year, Jiaqing didn't write a new poem "Writing on New Year's Day".
As the "witness" of the annual Spring Festival welcoming ceremony of the Qing Emperor, the original "opening pen" files written by the Emperor on New Year's Day over the years are kept in the First Historical Archives of China. As precious historical relics, the warm inkstone, pen and ink, and the "Jin Ou Yong Gu" cup used for writing are kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
