When it comes to the novel that tells the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, "Speaking of Tang" is a part that cannot be bypassed, because it is based on the bottom book of the storyteller, so it is very successful in character shaping, and it is also mentioned in the eighteen good men of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the force value of the good men has become a major feature of this book, of course, it has a strong folk literary color, and the details are also rough, for example, although the Eighteen Good Men of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were first proposed, only thirteen of them are listed in the whole book, which is somewhat regrettable.
Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng among the Eighteen Good Han are a pair of cousins, but the two cousins have only recently recognized each other, and when they recognized each other, the status of the two was very different, Qin Qiong was a prisoner who was escorted to Yanshan to serve, and Luo Cheng's only son to Luo Gong of Yanshan was the future boss of Yanshan. So what's causing this huge gap? This can be traced back to the very beginning of the Northern Zhou War against Northern Qi.
The Northern Zhou general Yang Zhong and his younger brother Yang Lin were ordered to attack Northern Qi, while Qin Qiong's grandfather Qin Xu and father Qin Yi, one town guarding Jinyang and one town guarding Jeju, were both killed in battle for Northern Qi. Before Qin Yi went to the battlefield, he entrusted Lady Ning to let Lady Ning raise the five-year-old Qin Qiong, who only had a milk name called Taiping Lang at that time, to preserve the Qin family.
After Qin Yi was killed in battle, jeju city was destroyed, and Lady Ning took Taiping Lang to run east and west like a headless fly, and finally knocked on the door of Cheng Yilang's house in a secluded neighborhood, and then stayed there. There is a more strange point here, that is, why did Qin Yi not explain that Lady Ning took Taiping Lang to luo yi in Yanshan? To know that in the war years, orphans and widows are difficult to live in peace, is it not possible to find Luo Yi to rely on?
But Qin Yi did not let Lady Ning go to find this sister, but it was not that he forgot this sister, because the book specifically mentioned Qin Yi's sentence: "The sister is far from Luomen, and the news is very good." "Although Yanshan mountain is far away, it will not be heard from again." When Taiping Lang was three years old, Qin Shengzhu married Yan Gong Luoyi, and when Jeju City was destroyed, Taiping Lang was only five years old, and in the middle of only two years, how could he hear nothing? Even if there was no communication, Qin Yi could not have known whether Luo Yi and Qin Shengzhu were still alive.
But he just didn't let Lady Ning go to Yanshan, combined with Lady Ning's attitude, Lady Ning almost never said in front of Qin Qiong that he had an aunt, and that her uncle was the boss of Yanshan, and when Qin Qiong recognized her relatives and returned home, Lady Ning asked Qin Qiong: "What official position does the uncle do, and does the aunt ever have children?" ”
This is also strange, it is reasonable to say that Lady Ning knew that Qin Shengzhu was married to Luo Yi, the Duke of Yan, and it is very likely that when Qin Shengzhu got married, Lady Ning was still the operator, so it was impossible not to know Luo Yi's official position and grade. Even if it is a change of dynasty, but Lady Ning is not an ordinary lady, the Qin family was also a Northern Qi nobleman, Lady Ning must also be from a family, such a lady if you want to know the situation of Yanshan, a little inquiry will know, but she has not known, which shows that Lady Ning has never inquired about Qin Shengzhu and Luo Yi, nor has she mentioned it to Qin Qiong.
And Lady Ning's attitude is Qin Yi's attitude, so why is Qin Yi this attitude? I would rather let Lady Ning and Qin Qiong live a difficult life in the folk than let them go to their own sister, in fact, it is likely that when Qin Yi was alive, the Qin family and the Luo family would already be at odds.
We see that when Northern Qi fell, Qin Yi's father and son died fighting for Northern Qi, but Yan Gong Luoyi did not move, if you have to say movement, it is Qin Shengzhu who cried and fainted several times after hearing that his brother and father were killed in battle, and later also sent people to look for Lady Ning and Qin Qiong, but for several years without results. And Luo Yi never moved, he did not send troops, just watched Northern Qi die.
It is very likely that at the time of Northern Qi's life and death, Duke Yan received orders from the Emperor of Northern Qi, but he did not send troops, so this made Qin Yi's father and son feel cold, and they did not expect that such two families had become relatives, the Qin family was loyal to Northern Qi, and the Luo family chose to stay out of the matter, and the two families began to part ways from that moment. Therefore, even when Qin Yi was dying, he did not let Lady Ning go to Yanshan, which may be the so-called "Different Ways do not conspire."
Luo Yi's father was sealed in Yanshan in Northern Qi because of his high merits, and with a lord, the title of Duke of Yan was even more hereditary, but the Luo family had been in Yanshan for a long time, and it was already a semi-independent state, so when the demise of Northern Qi was only a matter of time, he chose to stay out of the matter. Everything he did was for Yan Shan and the 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, as to who was the emperor of this world, he didn't care, and his father-in-law and brother-in-law were killed, and he didn't avenge it.
In this way, some people may feel that they have wronged Luo Yi, because he later sent troops, but if you seriously watch his military expedition, you will know that it is not at all to avenge his father-in-law's family or Northern Qi. His dispatch of troops was after Yang Zhong captured the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and this time point was well chosen.
Luo Yi watched the patron king Yang Lin march south to the northern war, made countless battle achievements, protected Yang Zhong to ascend the throne, and the next step was to attack Southern Chen, the Yang family's ambition was to go all over the world, not just the north, so Luo Yi was afraid, he was afraid that his Yanshan would be taken into the Pocket by the Yang family, then he was passive.
Therefore, he attacked jizhou, and after seeing Yang Lin, the two sides did not start a war at all, Yang Lin persuaded Luo Yi to surrender Sui, and Luo Yi took the opportunity to put forward three conditions for his surrender to Sui: first, Yongzhen Yanshan; second, listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement; third, live and kill himself. These three simple points are that Yanshan is semi-independent.
Yang Lin also immediately agreed to Luo Yi's conditions, and then, Luo Yi invited Yang Lin into the Yanshan Mansion, the banquet was set up, and the reward was sent out, where would he mention what revenge or not revenge?
