All the founding fathers in Chinese history have left many funny and magical legends. But among them, there are three founding emperors, which can be called the most legendary, one is Liu Bang, the second is Zhao Kuangyin, and the third is Zhu Yuanzhang!
These three are not only the most legendary and the most well-known, but also the most talked about by the people. There is no reason why, because these three are strictly speaking, they all belong to the grassroots. Liu Bang was known as a jerk, Zhao Kuangyin was said to be a jianghu chivalrous guest, and Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk or a beggar.
Obviously, before these three became emperors, they were closest to our common people, and naturally they were popular. Otherwise, you see, li Shimin, who was born in the nobility, why would he be covered by Qin Qiong? It is not that Li Shimin is not a cattle, but those aristocratic things in Li Shimin's circle of life, none of us ordinary people know, do not know, do not understand. Therefore, we are all Liu Grandma entering the Grand View Garden, don't pretend to be Lafayette to return to the palace.
Or look back, the street gangster Liu Bang, walking in the rivers and lakes Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang who wants to eat, these experiences before they became emperors, the proper is our daily life, naturally look at the relatives, talk with strength, it is not easy to wear gangs. For example, let's say Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
According to the "Anecdotes of the Song People", due to the endless struggle of the five generations and ten kingdoms, the people suffered unspeakable. An unknown monk said to the common people, "Ru waits for peace, and if you want peace, you must wait for the birth of the Buddha." ”
Translated, it is: the one you are looking forward to, the great hero who can bring about a peaceful day, one day, he will be born with a flash of light, and I have already guessed the beginning.
Before the words could be heard, in the horse camp in Luoyang, Zhao Kuangyin was about to be born, and it was really illuminating the four directions. What's even more amazing is that the whole camp is still wafting with aroma for several miles. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin's nickname is: Xiang Bao'er, also known as: Dingguang Buddha! (From "Qu Huan Old News")
Compared with Liu Bang's birth, his father saw a dragon, lying on his wife's rough and indecent, Zhao Kuangyin's birth is perfect. Not only is the color and fragrance complete, the most important thing is that the front and back echoes, and it comes into being!
So-called: plum blossom fragrance from the bitter cold! Although Zhao Kuangyin was born perfectly, it is a pity that he was born in a chaotic world, and his growth means turmoil, it is impossible to always be like this, and it is illuminated in all directions and fragrant. Then, an even more miraculous account followed.
After Zhao Guangyi was born, the war came again, and Aunt Zhao also had to flee like her neighbors. Therefore, she put the young Zhao family brothers in two frames, and then picked them both and embarked on the road of escape.
Along the way, is it bitter or not? Aunt Zhao was very clear. Is it difficult to escape all the way? Aunt Zhao was wide-hearted. After all, to save the lives of two children, in the chaotic world, is a mother's greatest wish.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the scene of Aunt Zhao "picking a child to flee" happened to be seen by an old Dao named Chen Zhuo, who was suddenly shocked and said: "Mo Dao has no heavenly son today, and he will bear the burden of the son of heaven." ”
What does it mean? The most straightforward translation is: the reason why the world has been in chaos for many years is because there is no true dragon Tianzi born. But now, this woman was carrying two true dragons on her shoulders, and those were two emperors!
This record was later adopted by the Water Margin a hundred times (Note: The Water Margin has three versions, seventy times, one hundred times, and one hundred and twenty times, and the most influential one is one hundred and twenty times. Moreover, in order to highlight the Zhao Kuangyin brothers' sense of "destiny of heaven", they also joined Chen Zhuo to see this, and they fell off the donkey's back with joy, but shouted: "People, your creation is coming!"
Look at these legends of Zhao Kuangyin, are they all fun and interesting, although the cowhide is blown up with the possibility of exploding at any time, but it is not explosive, the so-called just right, nothing is more than this. Why?
There is only one answer: the Song Dynasty founded by Zhao Kuangyin was the most tolerant and preferential dynasty for the literati! Natural literati are all grateful and even fascinated, so they present Zhao Kuangyin with one classic legend after another.
