Surely everyone is not unfamiliar with the surnames of the hundreds, right? Other not to say, the first few sentences: Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang can certainly still say out, our daily study work contact with the surnames of people are generally more extensive, although there are a few more unpopular (the author has been in contact with some of the old brothers with the surname gan before, this is also an unpopular surname, it is said that there are only a few thousand surnames in the country) but it is also acceptable, today to introduce a very strange surname: have you ever seen the surname "poison"? It is estimated that seeing this surname is enough to make people laugh, and there are people with this surname? How bad is this, how was this surname invented?
There is also a story behind the origin of this name and a person who must be mentioned: Dou Huaizhen.
Dou Huaizhen's elder brother was born into a famous nobleman, and his great-grandfather was the father-in-law of Li Yuan, the emperor of Tang Gaozu, who was a pillar of the imperial court as early as the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the Dou clan, as a foreign relative, was reused by the emperors of the Tang Dynasty such as Tang Gaozu, Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong, and the Dou clan also grew into the top door valve of the Tang dynasty and was a famous family among the famous people. His father served as chancellor during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and most of Dou's sons held important official positions in the imperial court.
Dou Dexuan's officialdom was quite good, he was honest and frugal, loyal to his duties, and even Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi heard that his reputation was greatly rewarded to him. And there is also a mysterious little story about Dou Dexuan, that is, he once went to Yangzhou for business, when he was preparing to cross the river by boat, he saw someone on the shore beckoning for the same crossing, Dou Dexuan was kind, seeing that it was too late to be afraid that there would be no boat to carry him again, so he turned his head to pick up the man, looking at his yellow muscles and thinness as if he had not eaten enough, Dou Dexuan was kind enough to take food for him, and when he got off the boat, he told Dou Dexuan that he was a ghost and wanted to take his life, but Dou Dexuan was really a good person and he couldn't bear to do it. So let Dou Dexuan quickly go to chant the sutra, chant a thousand times to eliminate disasters and disasters, Dou Dexuan heard the words and honestly recited the sutra a thousand times, and sure enough, a month later, Yama Wang Tuomeng told Dou Dexuan that he had merit in chanting the sutra, and then he would definitely become the prime minister. Although this is a very ordinary karmic story of goodness and good rewards, we can still see from it that although Dou Dexuan was born into a rich family, he was indeed an honest and generous person.
Dou Huaizhen, who was born with a golden key, has received a good education since he was a child, Dou Huaizhen is also the only son of his father Dou Dexuan, under the influence of his father with excellent moral character, Dou Huaizhen showed in addition to good character at a young age, and the "Huaizhen" in his name is also his father's ardent hope for him, hoping that he will maintain noble character and integrity, but from the trajectory of this product's later life, Dou Dexuan's elder brother is estimated to be disappointed.
However, in the early years, Dou Huaizhen was still very good, unlike other dou surnames, Dou Huaizhen did not seek vanity, simple clothing, and in the early years when he was a county commander in Qinghe County, he was more just and honest, diligent and self-appointed, and was unanimously praised by the people and colleagues. Good official reputation, prominent family lineage paved the way for Dou Huaizhen to be promoted, so he began his own promotion history, from the governor of Yue Prefecture to the governor of Yangzhou, Dou Huaizhen was the more official and bigger, and by 706 AD, Dou Huaizhen had become the history of the governor of Yong Prefecture, which was counted as a heavy minister of the imperial court.
But at this time, we were surprised to find that dou Huaizhen, who was honest and capable, simple and upright, had changed, and he had become a slave and a, and he was extremely flattering, which was in stark contrast to the selfless and upright gentleman appearance of the early years. To say that in recent years, he has also risen step by step, and the officials have become bigger and bigger, and it is a good time for the spring breeze to be proud, how can he change from a good official to a flattering villain?
Now it is difficult for us to figure out the change in Dou Huaizhen's heart path in those years, perhaps when he was still in Zhixian County, he worked hard to survive his seniority, and carefully maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, others had already effortlessly mixed into the high position of the imperial court through the whiskers and patting the horse as a male pet, and in front of the small magistrate Dou Huaizhen looked enviously at Zhou Xing, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong and others with Wu Zetian's words, and I Dou Huaizhen was also born into a famous family, I was famous and talented, why did I have to eat cold rice on the side? The yearning and envy of power made Dou Huaizhen lose his mind, and he was tired of living a hard life in front of the low-level petty officials, slowly rising year by year. He was a son of Dou, a proud son of heaven, and his goal was the prime minister, the actual ruler of this empire!
Since I am slow to rise by virtue of good reputation and good style, then I will choose fast! So what's the fastest? Lick somebody's boots.
So from 706 onwards, we saw a brand-new Dou Huaizhen, he began to slip the oil cavity and have no dignity, in addition to the beginning of the slave face and knees to please the powerful people of the dynasty, this old brother also thought that the eunuchs were not good, after all, they were close to the emperor, if in front of the emperor blowing the wind in his ears to help himself say a few good words, then wouldn't it be appropriate to be promoted to a higher rank and get rich? Therefore, Dou Huaizhen not only respected these eunuchs on weekdays, but even when he saw the beardless person during the trial of the case, he was suspicious and suspicious that he was a eunuch, and tried to favor him.
Of course, the eunuchs were also dependent on the magnates so they made a blessing, Dou Huaizhen naturally did not miss the backstage of their backstage while pleasing the eunuchs, and when Emperor Zhongzong reigned, Empress Wei and Princess Anle fell to the world, in order to please Empress Wei, Dou Huaizhen played the slave talent to the extreme.
First of all, he changed his name in order to persuade Wei Shi, because there was a "Zhen" character in his name, which was the same as the name of Wei Hou's father Wei Xuanzhen, and in order to avoid secrecy, he changed his name to "Dou Congyi", which means to end from one, to whom? Everybody knows it. Avoiding this thing is only for the emperor and his elders to consider (for example, in the dream of the Red Chamber, Dai Yu will write more or less strokes when writing Min characters, because her mother's name is Jia Min), and Wei Xuanzhen and Dou Huaizhen are not related, Dou Huaizhen rushed to change his name, but is not To make Wei Xuanzhen his elder! But the key problem was that the age of these two was not much different, and Wei Xuanzhen did not hesitate to recognize his peers as his elders in order to show favor to Wei Hou, and this flattering and despicable appearance was really disgraceful.
Just when Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty despised Dou Huaizhen's behavior, Dou Huaizhen (who should now be called Dou Congyi) immediately let everyone know that for the sake of power, his old man could have no bottom line. Chinese New Year's Eve night, Tang Zhongzong feasted on the courtiers, and the emperor was drinking lively, and Tang Zhongzong said to Dou Congyi through wine: "Aiqing your wife has been dead for a long time, and Dou Congyi has pity on you and chose a new lady for you", Dou Congyi heard this and laughed and prostrated his head in thanks, thinking that he did not know which beautiful palace girl the emperor gave to himself, and thinking that the emperor only rewarded himself, how glorious it was!
Just when Dou Congyi was dizzy with joy and his heart was like drinking honey, the palace ladies carried the palace lamp fish through, and the internal historians played the palace fan, and finally walked out of a bride in a graceful manner, the bride covered her face with a fan and could not see her face clearly, Dou's spirit drifted from the beginning of the morning and did not know what night it was, Tang Zhongzong let him sit opposite the bride, and he also recited a few poems in accordance with Emperor Zhongzong's orders.
The so-called fan poetry is a custom that evolved from the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the new person worships and sits opposite, the bride or wears a hijab on her head, or uses a fan to block the face, the Tang Dynasty literature atmosphere is strong, so the groom must write several poems to ask the bride to take the fan out, so it is called the fan poem.
Dou looked triumphantly at his colleagues' faces of envy or jealousy, and recited a few poems with great male charm, and waited until the fan was removed, and the old face of the crane head was revealed under the full head of pearls! This face also smiled at Dou From a smile, the fantasy beauty turned into such an old woman, not only Dou congyi was scared half dead, ManChao Weiwu was also surprised by half a half, and then laughed, it turned out that this bride was Empress Wei's sixty-year-old nursing mother! This old lady was still from a barbarian background (the Tang Dynasty despised ethnic minorities, so it was called barbarians), and I don't know whether it was this old lady Jiu mu Dou's demeanor or whether Zhongzong and Wei Hou purely wanted to see the reaction of this horse ass spirit, in short, she directed such a farce in front of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu.
In the midst of everyone's unkind laughter, Dou Cong's face was flushed with embarrassment, and the court minister of the hall was now going to marry an old lady over sixty years old, or a lowly barbarian woman, which was not a smear on his own reputation and that of his family! However, he immediately turned his eyes and smiled, and hurriedly knelt down on the mountain to thank Long Live Grandpa Longen.
What's going on here? This Dou Huaizhen originally looked around for a way to get involved with Wei Hou to become her lackey, isn't this not the high-ranking official Houlu rolling in, now the emperor has married Wei Hou's nursing mother to him, this is not equivalent to matching himself, he is the husband of Empress Wei's nursing mother, which is equivalent to a member of Empress Wei's camp, the empress is not allowed to reuse herself, this old woman is always old, but the political interests behind this are endless, thinking of the future of the flying yellow Tengda Dou from one is very happy, Even looking at this old lady was beautiful, he happily thanked the emperor longen, smiled and led the nursing mother back.
Sure enough, Dou Congyi quickly presented himself as Wei Hou's confidant after going to the nursing mother, when people called the nursing mother's husband Ah Zhao, and as a result, Dou Huaizhen proudly signed at the end every time he played to the emperor: Empress Ah Zhao, that is, to remind the emperor in disguise that I am the husband of your empress's nursing mother, and he always calls himself Empress Ah Zhao, and everyone is very ashamed of his behavior of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix without wind and bone, so he humiliatingly calls him Guo Zhao (that is, the husband of the national nursing mother), However, Dou Cong's skin is also thick enough to be a city wall, and he also generously admits that Lao Tzu is to be the queen's minions and lackeys, and you people don't want to be qualified for this!
To say this, Lao Dou is only blind in the pursuit of fame and profit, completely abandoning his conscience and wind and bones, and scolding is nothing, but what he did after that really made people feel that this person was already hopeless, completely crazy for the sake of power.
In 710 AD, Li Longji launched a coup d'état and slaughtered Empress Wei and Princess Anle, Li Dan, the King of Xiang, ascended the throne for Tang Ruizong, Dou Congyi saw his patron fall one by one, afraid of pursuing responsibility, in order to draw a line with Wei Hou, he personally killed his wife (that is, the nursing mother), this is not the end, he carried the head of the nursing mother to Ruizong and wept bitterly, emphasizing how he had to rely on her under the threat of Wei Hou's obscenity, and now you ascend the throne and say that the emperor is exactly what people want. Chen Dayi killed the wet nurse of this sinner Wei Hou and asked Li Dan to forgive Yun Yun. In order to express his strong determination, Dou pleaded with Dou to change his name back to Dou Huaizhen.
Li Dan did not pursue the matter, but only demoted him to an official, but soon recalled him to the court, Dou Huaizhen immediately attached himself to Princess Taiping, and after each time he went down to the court, he had to rush to the Princess Mansion to greet An, and with the support of Princess Taiping, Dou Huaizhen was appointed as the prime minister.
With the change of dynasty, Dou Huaizhen stood like a tumbler, and he soon became the new upstart of the imperial court, and when he was the prime minister of the dynasty, he had a new object of attachment and a slave to the new master. As for his old wife, Dou Huaizhen had long forgotten to go outside the Cloud nine, and it can be said that for the nursing mother, Dou Huaizhen was only using it the whole time. This old thing is just a bridge for himself, and when the use value disappears, Dou Huaizhen immediately killed his wife viciously, you can not like him (after all, the emperor rewarded Dou Huaizhen with a humiliating nature), but after all, it is through the relationship between people to be able to occupy a high position, and finally in order to clear the relationship, he can even kill the nursing mother, Dou Huaizhen's cold and hard poison of the heart can be seen, for the sake of rights, I am afraid that he can even sell himself, let alone an innocent nursing mother!
When Dou Huaizhen, who was the prime minister, began to work for the new master Princess Taiping, and at the same time, without shame, he pandered to Tang Ruizong, and Emperor Ruizong built a taoist temple and palace in a big way, resulting in the national treasury, and when the courtiers earnestly advised, only Dou Huaizhen strongly approved, in order to please Emperor Ruizong, Dou Huaizhen, the chancellor, actually personally supervised the work, and others advised him to put state affairs first, and he did not listen, leaving the state affairs aside, and he was attentive to Ruizong.
However, Dou Huaizhen's good days soon came to an end, and when Emperor Ruizong abdicated and Xuanzong ascended the throne, the taiping rights as a princess of the auxiliary state increased sharply. He and his master Princess Taiping were blinded, and almost all the people in the imperial court colluded with Princess Taiping, what ability did Xuanzong still have as a hairy boy? Driven by great ambitions, Princess Taiping attempted to rebel and stand on her own.
In Dou Huaizhen's view, Princess Taiping monopolized power, the imperial court was more dependent on her, the princess wanted to rebel and would definitely succeed, if she became a minister from the Dragon, wouldn't she be even more soaring, and it was not impossible for her to be a marquis! So Dou Huaizhen began to actively advise Princess Taiping, waiting for the success of the rebellion to become a founding minister and become famous.
It was just that the every move of Princess Taiping and these people was controlled by Tang Xuanzong early on, and before Princess Taiping's elaborate rebellion was put into action, it was simply and neatly put down by Tang Xuanzong.
The counter-rebel soldiers killed Princess Taiping, and then killed the participants one by one, Dou Huaizhen, who had always speculated and fell, had no way to go, and he could only choose a hemp rope to hang himself in fear, but Tang Xuanzong did not spare this traitor, Dou Huaizhen's head was cut off to show the public, Xuanzong hated his capriciousness and cunning, and changed his name to "poison" surname, which means that this goods is despicable and malicious, so Lao Dou has also become the old ancestor of the poisonous surname.
If Dou Huaizhen still maintained his own incorruptible discipline in his early years, perhaps there would be another qing official worthy of praise in the history books, but since Dou Huaizhen sold his soul to power, he changed, yes, he abandoned his dignity and shame to become the prime minister of the empire, holding a high position and holding great power, but in the end he ended up with a death and a family, and his name was insultingly changed to "poison", but a traitorous villain like him, even if he did not join the Taiping Princess Chaos Party, When the wise Xuanzong ascended the throne, he could not spare this person who could only sneak and shoot horses, so people still have to look at their own strength, and people who can only shoot horses and whiskers, although they can succeed for a while, they will eventually show their true face.
