Preface
Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang's eldest son Fusu is a gentle personality, handsome son with a good demeanor, dressed in white, clean and refreshing, everything he does is the righteousness of the world, never use power for personal gain, is simply the male god in the heart of the girl in Huaichun, the true gentleman in the heart of the man.
However, Gongzi Fusu was finally given to death by Zhao Gao's tampered father's edict because of his obedience to his "father's orders", and indirectly lost the foundation that his father had prepared for him for thousands of years.
Because at that time, the young general Meng Tian left by Qin Shi Huang still had hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as Fusu gave an order, Zhao Gao and his party were not going to be killed by General Meng Tian, and the entire Qin State was not going to set off a bloody storm that belonged to the elegance of "Gongzi Fusu"!
Therefore, this Qin Shi Huang himself has the ability to level the world and unify the six countries, but his descendants may not have this ability, after all, the so-called "dragon gives birth to nine sons" is still different, maybe the strength of Gongzi Fusu is to be a "true gentleman" to admit death, and other abilities are somewhat reduced.
Most of the dynasties in Chinese history are also the end of this "dog blood", and the laws of history tell us that the probability of a dynasty with a surname is not high that all of them are "kings", such as Uncle Liu's "Adou who can't be supported".
However, there are still a hundred flowers blooming in the mainland, and there are many emperors in the prosperous era, and these emperors will continue the prosperous era and make their own style, which has to say that the benchmark in the history of the mainland "all countries come to the dynasty" of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
However, everyone knows Li Tang's prosperous style, but few people know the story of "Li Tang's Xiao family accounts for half of the world", the Xiao family's full name is Lanling Xiao's, all of them are children of nobles, and it is incredible that their family has a total of 17 emperors, although "different" but all of them are quite famous emperors, among which the name of Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, has become a beautiful symbol, and is generally referred to as a beautiful young man and a woman's sweetheart!
Why is it that the life of the whole family is handsome, and there can be 17 emperors, and there is still the praise of "Li Tang and the Xiao family in the world"?
The prosperity of the Xiao family in Lanling is "unprecedented"
Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu established the Liang Dynasty, and not long ago Xiao Daocheng of the same family established the Southern Qi Dynasty, and what is more interesting is that the grandson of Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, used his family to establish the Western Liang after the fall of Liang, although the Western Liang was a puppet state with no real power, but he was not destroyed until the emergence of the Sui Dynasty.
The Southern Qi Dynasty to the puppet country of Xiliang, a total of 17 emperors, Lanling Xiao ruled the world for 108 years before ending the emperor's career, but although Lanling Xiao has no emperor, but the 17 emperors 108 years of incredible rule, is still shocked by later generations, and the most shocking thing is that Lanling Xiao in 108 years, the family founded several dynasties as emperors in the process, the family has not been affected by the decline and prosperity of the dynasty, Lanling Xiao has always been in a rising stage in the long history。
After the fall of the Western Liang Dynasty, the Lanling Xiao family was still a proper nobleman, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in order to consolidate his power, let this family of nobles support his rule, and married the daughter of the Lanling Xiao family as the queen, and this fine tradition has been preserved in the Tang Dynasty, for the Lanling Xiao family, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is always quite fond.
For example, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the emperor who was extremely fond of Wu Zetian and finally lost the dynasty, there was a concubine who was very favored by the concubine who was the person of the Xiao family in Lanling - Xiao Shufei, Xiao Shufei was not an idle person, she defeated the ruthless Wang and Queen back then, became Li Zhi's only favorite, and gave birth to three children for Li Zhi.
Later, Xiao Mo also created Liang Guoxing in the cracks when the Sui Dynasty fell, and passed the emperor's addiction, but was destroyed by Li Jing.
Later, Tang Xing and Li Zhi met Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian was too insidious and cunning, and in the end, Concubine Xiao Shu did not play Wu Zetian and was locked up in a small black house, and was finally brutally killed by Queen Wang and Wu Zetian, but this did not affect the aristocratic rule of the Xiao family in Lanling.
The Xiao family also gave birth to the spectacle of "eight-leaf prime minister", and 10 people became prime ministers, making people prime ministers! The Xiao family was once again reused and rose.
Later generations of Ouyang Xiu and other famous masters praised the Xiao family: "Fame and virtue look at each other, and the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and declining." The prosperity of the family has never been seen in ancient times", which means that such a prosperous family has never been seen throughout ancient times!
The inheritance of the Lanling Xiao family!
And throughout the family history of the Lanling Xiao family, it can be seen that in addition to the Son of Heaven, they have produced more than 30 prime ministers in various dynasties and generations!
Such Lanling Xiao clan also has "arrogant bones", they said that they are the descendants of "Xiao He of the Han Dynasty", that is, Xiao He who succeeded and Xiao He who defeated Xiao He and helped Liu Bang establish the Han Dynasty.
In this way, in ancient times, the feudal dynasties and generations that attached great importance to "bloodline", the Lanling Xiao clan may really be able to "bluff" them.
The Lanling Xiao clan naturally can't survive without real skills by virtue of their bloodline, and the reason why they can prosper for a long time is mainly because their family is "rich" and "educated".
Both the Book of Nanqi and the Selected Writings of Zhaoming were written by the descendants of the Xiao family of Lanling, and these two books are among the top works in today's China.
Among them, Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, was able to talk about the "sage" Confucius's thoughts, and the "everyone" who opened the pulpit! And who can guess that the predecessor of the Lanling Xiao clan was still a famous martial artist!
Since Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liangwu of the Xiao clan in Lanling, their family has begun to become both civil and military, all because they discovered the importance of culture in the long-term struggle, so they have been flexible, so they can live for a long time, and they can be literary and martial arts in ancient times, and no one does not like capable people.
Especially in ancient times, when there were basically no big characters and no baskets, as long as you can write and be literate, you are a great talent with political potential.
So even if the 17 sons of heaven fall, the Lanling Xiao clan will never suffer, and they will not suffer because they know how to be flexible, and the second is because they are educated, most of them are also all-rounders in civil and military affairs, and they are handsome, no one doesn't like such people!
Li Zhi's Concubine Xiao Shu (Empress Xiao), although she was later brutally killed by Wu Zetian, Xiao Yu, the younger brother of Empress Xiao's Nengwen Nengwu, became one of the "Twenty-four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion" who went down in history!
And after that, Xiao Lanling's Xiao family's courtiers have increased in the Tang Dynasty, and when the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty are in charge, it is the children of the Xiao family who are fighting against them and shining on the political stage!
And all this Xiao family is by virtue of their own efforts, and obtained, never asked for others, when the times change, they began to be flexible, ambitious, more persevering, but also very loyal, steady, improve their comprehensive strength, and finally pass on this method from generation to generation, so that the Lanling Xiao family endured and became a family that attracted worldwide attention.
Only by improving oneself can the family prosper!
