When it comes to cults, everyone is certainly furious and filled with righteous indignation, because it harms the common people and undermines the social situation of stability and unity, and even more anger arises from the heart, evil is born from the side of the guts, and hatred is itchy at the root of the tooth, because the cult wants my life.
Who is I, you ask? This is a child without a mother - it is a long story.
When it comes to the surnames of the Chinese nation, people will always mention such a sentence: Zhang Wang Li Zhao flows everywhere (Liu). There is no doubt that the surname Zhang is a big surname in China, but for some reason, in the history of China for more than 5,000 years, there are very few dynasties established by the surname Zhang, and strictly speaking, Qianliang during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the only Zhang dynasty in Chinese history, and I am the second generation monarch of this dynasty, Zhang Yan.
In 291 AD, one of the three major rebellions in Chinese history, the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" (the other two being the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" and the "Rebellion of Anshi") began in the shadow of the sword and the shadow of the sword, and the bloody storm began. The Western Jin Dynasty declined rapidly, and most of the states and counties were independent.
His father Zhang Rail was serving as a regular attendant in the imperial court at the time, and with a keen sense of political smell, he wanted to occupy the land of Hexi (present-day western Gansu and eastern Xinjiang), so he asked to return to his hometown (Li's hometown was in present-day Pingliang City, Gansu Province) as an official.
In 301, the idiot emperor Sima Zheng of Jinhui appointed Li Dai as the Assassin of Liangzhou, and Yamen was stationed in Guzang, which is now the city of Wuwei in Gansu Province. After his father arrived in office, he cooperated with the local talented Liangzhou surname to jointly govern Liangzhou. He encouraged farming, attached importance to silkworms, founded schools, and always expressed loyalty to the Western Jin Dynasty in order to win the hearts and minds of the people. He also defeated the invading Xianbei tribes many times, protected the border and the people, and threatened the Western Soil.
In 311, Luoyang was conquered by the Former Zhao (one of the Sixteen Kingdoms, founded by the Xiongnu) general Liu Yao, and Chang'an was conquered again, and many people in the Central Plains and Guanzhong regions flowed into Liangzhou. The arrival of these displaced people increased the labor force, spread advanced production experience, and enabled the social and economic development of Liangzhou to be faster, but they also brought the disaster of killing themselves, which was really "a displaced person who became a displaced person, and a displaced person who was defeated."
In May 314, his father unfortunately died of illness and traveled west in a crane, and as the eldest son of his old man, he naturally succeeded to the post of Pastor of Liangzhou and continued his father's policy of benefiting the people. Formally, he made a report to Sima Yi, the Jin Emperor of Chang'an, and the imperial court quickly replied, asking him to take over the post of Assassin of Liangzhou and make him a general of the Qiang Protector and the Duke of Xiping County.
Liangzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of My Father and Li, was a safe area far from the war at that time, so it gathered all kinds of people from all walks of life, including a guy who engaged in a cult, named Liu Hong.
This guy's hometown was Jingzhao at that time, which is now Xi'an. In June 320, he followed the displaced people to Liangzhou. When you get to this heavenly taiping realm, you can stay well, but he is not, he has to run to the fifth mountain of the ladder to propagate the cult, at that time the technology was backward, many ordinary people were fooled by Liu Hong,000 people, and as many as a thousand people entered the religion. The common people did not have anything to join the religion, but I did not expect that some of the close attendants around me (that is, the servants in the palace) also secretly entered the religion.
Things have developed to this point, I am already unlucky enough, who knows more unlucky is still to come!
There were two guys in Li's generals who were Liu Hong's younger brothers, one named Yan Sha and the other zhao Yang. As the saying goes, "Fellow countrymen see fellow countrymen, two tears flowing", I didn't think that this sentence really played a role in them, and soon, these three villains were out of one nostril.
Liu Hong, a boy with great ambitions, was not willing to be the leader of a cult, and one day he said to Yan Sha and Zhao Yang, "Heaven has given me kingship, and I should dominate Liangzhou." The two fools were so convinced that they regarded Liu Hong as the true son of heaven, and were determined to support him as king, and secretly contacted more than a dozen of li's internal servants to prepare to assassinate him.
Fortunately, Liu Hong, who was arrogant enough to die, leaked the news that he wanted to assassinate Li. At that time, I thought that this was just a conspiracy of his own, so I immediately sent soldiers to arrest him and cut off his head. I thought that I was wise and decisive, and god blessed me to suppress a coup in the cradle, but I didn't expect that there was an iron egg buried next to me that could explode at any time.
After Liu Hong was killed, his comrades Yan Sha and Zhao Yang (unfortunately, I didn't know it at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have died impermanently) had a fire on their butts and could no longer sit still, and finally, these two guys who were deeply poisoned by the cult actually sneaked into the palace one night in the same month and killed the sleeping Li.
In this way, I was unlucky to lose my most precious life, of course, the two murderers did not end well, because until the arrival of Qin Bing 376 years ago, Liangzhou had always been the Zhang family's family.
Although the time of the existence of the Former Liang is incomparable with the great dynasties such as the Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties, it is the one with the longest existence among the Sixteen Kingdoms!
