There are always many striking similarities in history,
Heaven
Or,
transmigration
Or, they are all irreversibly operating around the development law of human society.
What the penman wants to talk about today is the two great heroes of ancient China:
Yuwen Yong
and
Chai Rong
。 They are talented and ambitious, born at the right time, but their ambitions are difficult to reward, leaving two tragic stories for posterity that make people sigh.
Throughout the lives of the two heroes, they have 5 amazing similarities, and people can't help but sigh: is this a current affair, or an accidental coincidence?
1、
The two men's names are the same
Yuwen Yong's national name "Zhou" is what we used to call "Northern Zhou"; Chai Rong's national name is still Zhou, we are used to calling it "Hou Zhou", in fact, their national name is all
"Weekly"
。
2、
Both died young
Yuwen Yong took the throne at the age of 18 and pro-government at the age of 30.
36 years old
Died of illness and served as an emperor who was ruled by himself for 7 years;
Chai Rong took the throne at the age of 34,
39 years old
Died of illness and became emperor for less than 6 years.
It can be seen that the heavens have not much time left for the two to play their talents, only 6-7 years.
3、
They are all male lords
Although the heavens did not leave them much time, they did earth-shattering events and quickly pulled the course of our country's history.
At the age of 30, Yuwen Yong began a series of actions after bringing down his cousin Yuwen Hu . He carried out drastic reforms, quickly recovered the decline of Northern Zhou, and in just 6 years, he destroyed the fierce enemy of the East, Northern Qi.
Unified the North
However, on the way to the Northern Expedition to the Turks and prepare to complete the great cause of reunification, he fell ill and died soon after, leaving endless reverie for future generations.
Chai Rong almost copied Yuwen Yong's success, and after he took over the crisis-ridden Hou Zhou from Guo Wei, he was proactive, selected talents and talents, and personally took command and conquered the north in less than 6 years
The Central Plains were pacified
Just when he was about to embark on a unified journey like Yuwen Yong and compete with the Khitans, he also fell ill and died soon after, leaving more regrets for future generations.
4、
Personally cultivate dynasty gravediggers
The two paved the way for the unification of the world, and after they died, what would be the end?
Yuwen Yong's cultivated cronies
Yang Jian
Later, he unified the world and established the Great Sui, but unfortunately, his world was obtained from the hands of Yuwen Yong's descendants;
Zhao Kuangyin, who chai rong cultivated, later unified the world and established the Great Song, but unfortunately, his world was also obtained from Chai Rong's descendants.
Although the two male lords made their last wishes come true, they failed to keep their homes.
5、
Extinguishing the Buddha
The two male lords also did the same big thing, that is, to destroy the Buddha!
Buddhism has gradually gained a foothold since the influx of Middle-earth during the Southern and Northern Dynasties and was supported by the feudal nobility, but later, it became a flood.
The extinction of Buddhism here is not to outlaw Buddhism, but to regulate it. Due to the war, a large number of people flowed to the temples, resulting in everyone copying the sutras and chanting the Buddha, and no longer engaged in production, which was simply worse for the Central Plains, which was constantly in war and people's livelihood.
In order to revitalize the economy, the two male lords braved the world's great disobedience, first of all from the temple, except for a part of the specially approved temple remaining, the rest of the illegal and complete ban, all at once for the country and the people brought a large amount of land and population, becoming an important pillar of economic restoration.
However, many people only remember their destruction of the Buddha, and ignore the gospel they brought to the country and the nation.
Is this fate?
