There is an old Chinese saying called "the heavenly way is good reincarnation, the heavens spared whom", it is the concept of reincarnation, ancient history is divided and combined, there are too many coincidences and mysteries in the past five thousand years, these things can not be explained, always by posterity to talk about, these coincidences to say the most magical then these three are definitely on the list.
The two most powerful dynasties of Qin and Sui died, Han Gaozu beheaded the White Snake Rebellion and was finally usurped by Wang Mang, When Zhao Kuangyin accepted the throne of Emperor Gong of Zhou, Emperor Gong of Zhou was 7 years old, and When Kublai Khan destroyed the Song Dynasty, Emperor Huaizong of Song was only seven years old. What is the story of these three coincidences?
Qin Sui II died
Qin Shi Huang, who is known as the First Emperor of the Ages, deserves his name, thinking that Qin Shi Huang spent ten years unifying the six kingdoms, the same book, the same track, the unified weights and measures, and the construction of the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles This is such a great achievement, Qin Shi Huang's merits are absolutely beyond the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.
Although he made a mistake in the later period, he came to a "book burning pit Confucianism", but he never killed a meritorious man, and even more exempted the harem burial system.
Unfortunately, the two things that Qin Shi Huang did created the prelude to the death of the Second Emperor, the first of which was to vigorously search for the elixir of immortality.
This is contrary to the laws of nature, nothing in this world can be passed down through the ages, and Qin Shi Huang constantly sent virgin boys and girls out to sea to find the immortal island and the elixir, and the young generation that should have grown up in the country was all far away from the homeland. This has resulted in a great waste of manpower and material resources, and has made it economically difficult for countries that should have been recuperating.
The second thing is to spoil Zhao Gao, a traitor, the throne of Qin Shi Huang should be passed to Fu Su, the eldest son is gentle as jade, and has a heart of compassion for heaven and man, and if he is knowledgeable, then the Great Qin Dynasty will certainly be more prosperous.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao's false transmission of the holy will forced Fu Su to commit suicide, and supported the younger son of Qin Shi Huang to ascend to the throne, known in history as Qin II, this Qin II was a well-known tyrant, and once he came to power, he summoned and persecuted his eldest brother Fu Su, and then persecuted all of his more than twenty brothers and sisters.
During his reign, Zhao Gao had been holding the government and framing Zhongliang, and the national strength of the Qin Dynasty immediately collapsed, and his brutality forced the peasants everywhere to revolt continuously, and finally the Great Qin Dynasty was defeated by Qin II.
However, the Sui Dynasty was very similar to the Qin Dynasty, and Yang Jian's throne was given to him by the Zhou Jing Emperor Yuwen Xianchan, which was during the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Yang Jian, like Qin Shi Huang, took ten years to unify the northern and southern regions and establish a unified imperial era.
The promotion of policy is even more advanced and powerful, and the examination system, the three provinces and six ministries system, and the unification of coins are similar to the Qin Dynasty.
However, the biggest similarity between the two emperors was that they made the same mistake in the choice of heir, and Qin Shi Huang never gave Fu Su the title of prince.
However, Emperor Wen of Sui was deceived by Yang Guang to replace Yang Yong, who was quick-witted and gentle, and after making Yang Guang crown prince, Empress Dugu died of illness, Yang Jian was bedridden with heartache, Yang Guang took advantage of the opportunity to hold great power, and finally Emperor Wen of Sui died and Yang Guang ascended the throne as Emperor Sui.
The Sui Emperor was brutal, during his reign, he worked hard to dig the Grand Canal and built the Eastern Capital Liuxia Jiangnan, and even more the three conquests of Goryeo, the national resentment boiled and eventually broke out a large-scale uprising, the Sui Emperor was hanged on the imperial ship in the lower Jiangnan, the Sui Dynasty perished, and the Qin and Sui dynasties were all destroyed in the hands of the Second Emperor.
The White Snake rebelled and died at the hands of Wang Mang
At that time, Liu Bang was only a small Surabaya Pavilion Chief, and once escorting prisoners achieved the great deeds of his life, at that time Liu Bang was ordered by his superiors to escort prisoners to Lishan to repair the mausoleum, but he escaped halfway and died, making Liu Bang very helpless, if he did not have enough people to reach Lishan, he would definitely be punished.
But if they were really sent to Lishan to work as coolies, it would have been a difficult day, so that everyone would die horizontally and vertically, so Liu Bang let everyone go at Mount Mangzhong, and he was ready to flee, but there was a group of people who felt that Liu Bang could trust and be willing to join him, and Liu Bang saw the rebel army team that he had learned to see to prepare for the uprising.
Everyone looked at each other and did not dare to squeak, at this time Liu Bang saw a white snake at the foot of the tree, and Liu Bang went over to cut the white snake into two pieces without saying a word.
He told everyone that this snake was a fairy, had been killed by himself, had its mana on his body, used superstitious colors to make everyone believe in him, and everyone followed him when they saw the situation, that is, liu Bang fought more and more courageously all the way to the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
It's just that Liu Bang didn't think that more than two hundred years later, the Jiangshan of Liu's descendants was usurped by a man named Wang Mang, who was a great snake, and although it was superstitious, it witnessed the entire cycle of history.
Seven years old gave way, seven years old was destroyed
In fact, if we study Chinese history in the eyes of foreign scholars, then the most powerful dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty but the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty was economically prosperous and the richest of all the dynasties.
After 960 AD, the Zhou general Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chen Qiao Mutiny, forcing the Chai family to give way to himself, at that time, the Zhou Gong Emperor Chai Zongxun was 7 years old, and the power was in the hands of the empress dowager, but in the face of Zhao Kuangyin holding the military power in his hands, what else could the orphans and widows do.
After Zhao Kuangyin ascended to the throne, he gave danshu iron coupons to the Chai royal family, exempted him from capital crimes, and gave preferential treatment to all the Chai clans, which is also considered zhao kuangyin zhi en tu, the Song Dynasty light martial arts and heavy literature, because Zhao Kuangyin was "rebellious" to get the throne, so after registration, he was very afraid of someone learning from him, so he had the most famous "cup of wine to release the military power" in history.
Throughout the entire Song Dynasty, the highest ruler in the army was the literati, and Di Qing was the most famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was Fan Zhongyan who could make decisions in the army when attacking the Liao state and western Xia.
Although fan Zhongyan did not have a problem in leading the army to fight, his title was to participate in the political affairs of the governor, and the reason why Ouyang Xiu resolutely wrote to depose Di Qing in the later period was also to worry about Di Qing's rebellion.
It may also be because of this great Song tradition that the "shame of Jingkang" has been created, the literati style prevails, and the soldiers' ability to fight wars has declined.
After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei was repeatedly persecuted, until many years later, the steppe general Kublai Khan set his sights on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, song Huaizong Zhao Fu was only seven years old when he was destroyed, orphans and widows watched the iron hooves of Mongolia step into the Central Plains but could not do anything, and the wheel of history began to enter the Great Yuan Dynasty.
It is said that the world is big and strange, history may really have reincarnation, the news of previous years reported that the tomb of the Sui Emperor was dug, and the person found was called Yang Yong, I don't know if this is reincarnation.
At that time, the Yuanmingyuan was burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished, but the main culprit who burned the Yuanmingyuan three years later was struck by lightning and burned his body for three days and three nights.
Everything in the world has a fixed number, and the only thing we have to do is to have a heart that is not afraid of difficulties at any time, and perhaps the gears of fate will start to turn as soon as we are born, but we still have to live our own wonderful.
