Ma ta on both sides of the Yellow River, strike three states and six provinces, god fist Taibao Xiao Meng taste!
Erudite officials, do you know who this sentence describes?
Yes, I think everyone has already guessed that he is Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiongzi Shubao, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, followed Li Shimin in the southern conquest of the northern war, made great contributions, and assisted Li Shimin in the change of Xuanwumen, assisted Li Shimin to ascend the throne as emperor, and was listed as one of the "Twenty-four Heroes of Lingyange".
Qin Qiong's strength is not that he is a person, but that he is a god, a door god.
During the New Year, every household must paste couplets, and the door god is pasted on the door.
The cultural customs of each place are different, so the door gods are also different, some door gods are Guan Yu Zhang Fei CP, some door gods are Qin Qiongwei Chi Jingde CP, and some are Zhao Yun Ma Chao CP, in short, the door gods are also different.
So how did Qin Qiong become a door god?
Li Shimin killed too much, so every night a lone ghost came to him and made him unable to sleep well. Li Shimin held a meeting to discuss how to get rid of these wild ghosts.
Qin Qiong stood up and said, "I have killed countless people in my life, and I am not afraid of lonely ghosts, and I stand outside the door at night to guard the safety of Your Majesty." ”
Li Shimin felt that Qin Qiong was too bored alone, so he found a companion for him, Wei Chi Jingde. After that, Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde stood outside the door to protect Li Shimin's safety.
The killing qi on the two was too heavy, and the lone soul wild ghost could not get close, so Li Shimin slept soundly at night. But after all, people are flesh and blood, standing for a day or two is OK, after standing for more than ten days, the two people's bodies will not be able to eat.
Li Shimin was also more distressed about the two ministers, so he let them go home and rest.
What if the two are gone, and no one stands guard to drive out the wild ghosts? Li Shimin thought of a way, he asked the painter to paint the portraits of the two and then paste them on the door, so as to make them fake.
Sure enough, this method worked very well, and the wild ghost thought that the portrait on the door was a real person, and did not dare to go near it.
Later, this matter spread to the people, and the people also began to follow suit, pasting the portraits of Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde on the door to drive away ghosts and ensure peace, and over time the two became door gods.
A strange thing happened to Qin Qiong, that is, he pretended to be ill for twelve years. Qin Qiong often fell ill, often did not go to work, and complained about illness at home. Li Shimin was also a little confused, how could Qin Shubao be so good that he said that he was sick when he was sick?
Qin Qiong said: "I used to be injured in wars, but now the old disease has recurred, and my body is not as good as a day. Li Shimin was also very concerned about Qin Qiong's health, so he sent a doctor to see him. The doctor grabbed the prescription according to the condition and let him eat well.
However, after the doctor left, Qin Qiong quickly said to her son, "Quickly pour out the medicine." ”
Qin Qiong poured the medicine not because he was afraid that Li Shimin would poison him, but because he was worried that his body would be fine, so he could not hide it. Since Qin Qiong was not sick, why did she pretend to be sick? He was dispelling Li Shimin's suspicion of him.
Qin Qiong had done something sorry for Li Shimin before, so he was worried about Li Shimin's retaliation, so he pretended to be ill. In order to save his life, Qin Qiong fell ill for twelve years, and during these twelve years, he did nothing, hiding and hiding, so that Li Shimin could not feel his presence.
