Most people have heard of the butterfly effect, which refers to any small change that has the potential to bring about a big change throughout history. Although we have built relatively little in life, in history, such events have occurred in an endless stream.
For example, in the course of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony in that year, Liu Bang issued an order that whoever killed Xiang Yu could get Wanjin and a marquis. As a result, one of the creeps grabbed part of Xiang Yu's body and thus got the Marquis.
But no one thought that such a small event would lead to an incomparably large family and a great dynasty. So what's going on here?
According to historical records, at that time, the war between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu was nearing the end, and Xiang Yu's large army was destroyed. However, although Xiang Yu's army was gone, he himself was still very fierce, and fled everywhere all the way, which made Liu Bang worried, afraid that Xiang Yu would be able to make a comeback in the future.
In order to completely eliminate Xiang Yu, Liu Bang issued an order that as long as he could kill Xiang Yu, he could reward him with thousands of gold and seal ten thousand households.
Stimulated by such a reward, all the soldiers were like chicken blood, frantically besieging Xiang Yu and his more than twenty personal guards. As a result, all of Xiang Yu's men were killed, and Xiang Yu himself was also scarred. Seeing that he could no longer survive, Xiang Yu could only commit suicide.
At this moment, the surrounding creeps all frantically rushed up to grab Xiang Yu's body, just for the sake of the Ten Thousand Households. After some robbery, Xiang Yu's body was finally divided by four people, namely Yang Xi, Lü Matong, Lü Sheng, and Yang Wu.
Originally, these four people were not remarkable, because they were all at the bottom of the more than one hundred titles in the Han Dynasty, and they did not have the opportunity to participate in the political changes at that time. But among these four small characters, there is one person who is very remarkable, and this person is like a butterfly in the butterfly effect that changed the course of history. This person is Yang Xi, who is at the head of the line.
According to Sima Qian's records, this person received 1900 households of Chiquan Marquis, and also received a Danshu iron coupon, which is equivalent to obtaining a long-term meal ticket, after which there is no drama.
However, his appearance has given the family a platform, so future generations are crazy on this platform. Among the descendants of this person, a man named Yang Chang appeared.
This person is remarkable in history, first of all, he married the daughter of Taishi Gong, and also became Huo Guang's right and left hand, serving as a high-ranking person such as the Grand Si Nong, the Imperial Shi Dafu, and the Chancellor. Even in the process of deposing the King of Changyi later, he also participated in the matter at the instigation of Taishigong's daughter, and was therefore approved by Huo Guang to directly ascend to heaven, so that the entire family became a historical Xuanhe existence.
Of course, this was not the climax, because then the family ushered in a continuous development, until the appearance of the man. Although this man did not do much in the official arena, he single-handedly changed the historical status of the entire family.
This person's name was Yang Zhen, and he had a nickname called Kansai Confucius. According to the history books, this person was a generalist, who knew everything about astronomy, geography, and calendar, and also taught three thousand disciples, and was a true legend.
Not only that, his official position was never low, all the way to the lieutenant, although there was no political action, but he also created the legend of the real fourth and third dukes. As recorded in the history books, starting from Yang Zhen, there were two generations of emperors and four lieutenants among the four generations of Yang Bing, Yang Ci, and Yang Biao.
It can be said that the appearance of Yang Zhen completely changed the fate of the Yang family, making the Yang family the most powerful family at that time. Of course, in this process, there was also a more famous figure, this person was called Yang Xiu, who was also known as a genius at that time, but his death was miserable.
However, although Cao Cao was arrogant, Cao Cao did not survive to the end, because he offended too many family families, so after the Sima family usurped the world, the Yang family continued to become a first-class big family, and even empress Yang of Sima Yan, the emperor of jinwu in history, was a member of the Yang family.
Of course, there were also some turbulences in the middle, such as the famous Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period, many family clans suffered a brutal blow, and the Yang family, which used to be invincible in the world, also encountered the blows of the up-and-coming Wang family.
But it was such a coincidence that the honor of the Wang family did not last long, and as a result, there was a reform of Emperor Xiaowen of northern Wei in the north, implementing a total Sinicization, so the people of the Yang family took the opportunity to be reused and became a large family respected by all ethnic minorities.
It is also in this context that the Yang family has come out of a legendary figure, if the Yang family has become the most cattle family, then the emergence of this figure has made the Yang family change from an ordinary family to a royal family. Yes, this person is the famous Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian in history.
As recorded in the history books, the Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian was born in the Hongnong Yang clan, so he later transformed into the Angry King Kong, cut off the chaos in the world, and established a great Taiping World.
And what is more interesting is that although we all say that Tang Taizong is a famous Heavenly Khan, it seems that this title of King of Kings began in the time of Tang Taizong. In fact, in the real historical records, the title of the true king of kings began from the time of Emperor Wen of Sui, who divided the Turks through three wars with the Turks, so everyone respected him as the sage Khan.
Moreover, during the Sui Dynasty, the Yang family carried out a large number of reform measures, including the imperial examination system that affected China for thousands of years, the later Grand Canal, Luodongcang, and even the Zhaozhou Bridge.
It can be said that after eight hundred years, the honor of the Yang family has reached its peak, and this family is forever recorded in history.
However, it is a pity that the Yang family's eight-hundred-year struggle can only maintain the regime of two generations, and then it was picked by Tang Taizong. But we should not underestimate the strength of the Yang family, in the Tang Taizong period, the Yang family is still very strong, Jun did not see Li Shimin for the qi king's wife so much, in fact, only half of the reason is because of beauty, more importantly because he is a member of the Yang family.
So looking back at these histories, we can't help but sigh that the butterfly effect really exists, maybe when Liu Bang looked at the little soldier and held Xiang Yu's stumps in his arms, Liu Bang would only disdainfully say, this guy is really lucky. But he never imagined that the descendants of this little soldier would create a dynasty as great as himself, and that this little soldier's family would become one of the most famous families in Chinese history. Maybe this is the charm of history, and everyone can't estimate what they will become in the next moment.
