Guanzhong Eighteen Mausoleums
According to historical records, Xian Ling was built by his son Li Shimin after Li Yuan's death. So, why was Li Shimin so hasty about the burial place of the founding emperor? Is he stupid? Historians generally believe that Li Shimin forced Tang Gaozu to abdicate and ascend the throne on June 4th, 2009 through the Xuanmen mutiny. Isn't this afraid that his subjects will say that he is unfilial and disrespectful to you? Is there any mystery hidden in this?
Before Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, his family background was prominent.
The land Liyuan in the Tang Dynasty was determined by Wu.
In ancient times, people thought that the emperor was not because his ancestors were buried in the treasure house of Feng Shui and Long Mai, but because they had noble blood and extraordinary appearance, which was called destiny. Li's family background is really prominent. According to "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Biography of the Great-grandfather, Emperor Yao was afraid of Yuan, and his surname was Li. Longxi is also a Ji person. His seventh ancestor, Hao, was the king of Zhao in the late Jin Dynasty.
The seventh ancestor here was Li Hao, the first emperor of Xiliang during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, who appeared in the 4th and 5th centuries. If we go back, Li Hao's ancestor was Li Guang, a famous soldier who fought against Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that the establishment of the Tang Dynasty by the Li family was not a three-day cold, but turned into ice overnight, and it was the dragon gene, which was completely different from the explosive richness of Liu's Han Dynasty and Zhu's Ming Dynasty.
Before Tang gaozu proclaimed himself emperor, it was not Shu Ren, but the hereditary Tang Guogong who stayed in Taiyuan. He was an important official in the Sui Dynasty and won the favor and trust of the dissolute emperor Yang Di Yang Guang. Going to Taiyuan is Yang Guang's own business. Taiyuan area, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, was the ancient Tang Dynasty, and somehow it happened to be a kind of luck, which Yang Guang probably couldn't think of at that time.
Another reason is that Tang Gaozu and Yang Guang are cousins, that is, Yang Guang's mother is Tang Gaozu's menstruation, and Tang Gaozu is royalty. In the 6th century A.D., there was a noble family whose owner was Du. Du has three daughters, all of whom have married into rich families. The eldest daughter is Ming Di, the founding emperor of the Northern Dynasties and queen of Yu Wentai; The seventh daughter is the founding emperor of Sui Dynasty and the queen of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. The fourth daughter married Li, the son of the Duke of the Northern Zhou and Tang Dynasties, as a daughter-in-law, and Li was the father of Li Yuan.
It is precisely because of this complicated blood relationship that imperial power keeps circulating like a house, trading among the three clans. It can be said that there is only one country, and the emperor takes turns to do it. As a monarch, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty made Yu Wenchan, a seven-year-old grandson, emperor. The following year, he forced him to meditate, proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Zhou Dynasty, and decided to establish the Sui Dynasty in February of the first year.
The fortune teller measured Li Yuan's extraordinary appearance.
Tang Gaozu knows the way to build a position and is familiar with the mystery. After the emperor was surrounded by people in Jiangdu, he took his son Li He into Chang 'an for thirteen years, pretending to be the emperor's father, and acclaimed his aunt and grandnephew who were three years older than him as emperor. In May of the following year, he abolished You Yang. Tang Dynasty Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty was born. In addition to staying in Taiyuan, Tang gaozu also worked as a secretariat in Qiao Zhou, Longzhou and qi zhou. It is said that some people predicted that Li Yuan could be emperor by looking at his face. Legend has it that there was a man named Shi Shiliang who was proficient in physiognomy. One day, I was very surprised when I saw Li Yuan. I told Li Yuan that your facial features are different from ordinary people, and your bones are extraordinary. You are destined to be emperor. After listening to Shi Shiliang, Tang gaozu believed it, and he was refreshed and wanted to make great achievements. Then it really came true. This matter is not credible, but it is recorded in Gao's ancestral books in the old Tang Dynasty that those who do good deeds should be kind to others. This is called Gao's words: Gong Gu's law is very good, he must master it, be willing to love himself, and never forget to speak lightly. Gaozu is quite conceited.
The emperor killed Li and destroyed the son of heaven for nothing.
Jiangnan dream sigh, Yang-ti Ming Di Yang Guang, Sui Shizu.
This legend, at the end of Sui Dynasty, has spread in the imperial court and among the people. There is a saying in "Di Zi Jane". Today, everyone says that Yang Wu Li Xing. At that time, an astrologer began to play Yang Guang, claiming that the spirit of the son of heaven was discovered in Longmen area and developed eastward from Longmen to Taiyuan area. Few emperors are not superstitious, and so is Yang Guang.
So he learned that Ying Zheng, the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, traveled east to Mount Tai, chiseled the mountain beside Qinhuai River, and cut off the emperor's anger in the southeast. He also traveled to the east and west several times. And left the palace in Shanxi, let his real dragon body appear in the ominous domain to suppress it. In the 11th year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang has been to these places many times. It is recorded that Zitongzhi Sword is lucky in Taiyuan. In summer and April, fortunately Fenyang Palace is a summer resort. Yang guang's action is not for leisure, but has a strong purpose.
Later, another alchemist named Anya suggested that Li be the son of heaven, and persuaded everyone surnamed Li to be killed. How many people are surnamed Li in the world? Because the area is not very specific, Yang Guang had to kill one thousand people by mistake without letting go of one, looking for reasons to get rid of senior officials surnamed Li who might pose a threat to himself one by one. The first to be punished was the Li Hun family, but they were killed by mistake.
Li Hun's family was the founding hero of Sui Dynasty, and was also the right general who held heavy military power at that time. Yang Guangxian suspected that CoCo Lee, the son of Li Hun, should have said something stupid and told him to commit suicide face to face. CoCo Lee was scared to death, so he went home to discuss with his father. This matter was known by Minister Pei, who reported that Li Hun was going to rebel. As a result, 32 people of Li Hun and his clan were killed. A few months later, CoCo Lee's wife was poisoned.
Later, during the reign of Tang Zhenguan, the warlock proposed to have a Wu Shi to replace Li in his harem, and did the same thing, killing all Wu Shi in the harem, but taking away the later queen from the Li family. Yang guang also made a mistake. He killed many officials surnamed Li, but spared his aunt and brother, the most dangerous Li Yuan family.
Grandma Tang Gaozu's face coincides with Datang's.
The reasons are as follows: first, Li Yuan was a low-key person, and he talked about Yang Guang to others from time to time, and was regarded as a confidant by Yang Guang; Second, they are relatives after all. And although Mr physiognomy said that Li Yuan had a son of heaven, in the eyes of ordinary people, he was ugly and wrinkled, like an old woman. In Yang Guang's eyes, Li Yuan is not an emperor, but an old man from Taiyuan. It is said that Yang Guang once saw many wrinkles on Ethan's face and joked that he was an old woman's face. Therefore, Tang Gaozu was very unhappy. When his wife Dou Shi asked why, she was secretly happy. She told her husband that Yang Guangzhi's handwriting was still good, that grandma's face was the master of the Tang Dynasty, and that the Tang Dynasty was also the Tang Dynasty, which indicated that the Li family would be the master and emperor.
After listening to this explanation, Tang Gaozu no longer felt inferior for his wrinkled face. In fact, Yang Guang was wrong. The sea is immeasurable, and people really can't judge by appearances. What's more, tang gaozu and li, such a dragon? Judging from the historical experience in politics, there are often two kinds of people who are most dangerous, one is relatives and friends, and the other is ordinary people around them. Tang Gaozu met all these two requirements, but Yang Guang's plan to suppress the emperor's anger was futile.
Son Li Shimin killed the princelings and usurped the throne.
The legacy of Zhenguan has been passed down through the ages. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin
To Tang Gaozu's surprise, what he learned from Emperor Wang Zhidao of the Sui Dynasty was also mastered by his son and second son Li Shimin. Fortunately, the world is still surnamed Li, and the fat water has not flowed outside. Through the Xuanwumen mutiny, after killing all the princelings, including Prince Li and his fourth brother, Li Yuanji, the King of Qi, Li Shimin got the status of legal heir in the Tang Dynasty as he wished, was made a prince by Li Yuan, and gained the actual ruling power. Seeing this, Tang Gaozu was forced to resign and become the emperor's father. The history books also recorded one thing. After Li Shimin was appointed as the new prince, unusual astronomical phenomena appeared. In ancient times, the planet Taibai, regarded as mysterious by astrologers, was very bright and could be observed in broad daylight.
There was a solar eclipse that year, when the warlock thought that a new Lord would appear. Sure enough, in August of the ninth year of Wude, Li Yuan officially sent a letter, and Zen was located in his son. The following year, Li Shimin changed the title of Zhenguan, and the rule of Zhenguan came from this.
The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a prisoner before his death.
As the founding emperor of China's ancient flourishing dynasty, Tang Gaozu's contribution is naturally the greatest. He has rich military talents and brought his son into full play on the battlefield. Without this class with nothing, there would be no Li family. However, compared with Li Shimin, Li Yuan was obviously inferior, and he was not like a duck to water. After Tang Gaozu became the emperor's father, to outsiders, he still lived a leisurely imperial life. In fact, his freedom of life was severely restricted in it, and he was transferred to Hongyi Palace, which was no different from that of a prisoner. For the record of Emperor Tang Gaozu's life, there are more old Tang books praised by later historians than new ones-
1May, 999, Grandfather Gengzi wrote a letter: After the funeral, the emperor should not regard military affairs as anything else. His service is light and heavy, and he learns the Chinese system. Gardens and mausoleum systems should be frugal. On that day, he collapsed in the front hall of Tai 'an Palace at the age of seventy. Ministers paid tribute to Emperor Wu, whose temple name was Gaozu. In October, Geng Yin was buried in Xianling.
What needs to be explained here is that there are many doubts in the history circle about the cause of Li Yuan's death. Some scholars believe that this is Li Shimin's murder, an abnormal death, not a disease.
