Tang Taizong Li Shimin's final nickname is the Great Sage of Civil and Military Affairs, Emperor Guangxiao, with a total of seven characters, as many words as his father Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Li Yuan's nickname is Li Yuan's nickname is Emperor Shenyao Dasheng Daguangxiao.
You may be surprised, Li Shimin's nickname does have a text, and the text is the first, but there is also a martial arts, why do you say that he is Emperor Wen of Tang!
He can also be called Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty! No, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan is the Great Martial Emperor, and you can't call Li Shimin the Little Martial Emperor! You may not know that Tang Gaozu's original nickname was Emperor Great Martial Emperor.
Besides, Emperor Wen of Tang's statement is well documented in the "Old Tang Book", which means that Tang Taizong's original nickname was Emperor Wen of Tang.
In June, (Li Shimin) was buried in the Taiji Palace. August Bingzi, hundreds of officials on the Emperor Wen, the temple number Taizong. Geng Yin, buried in Zhaoling. In August of the first year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, he changed his title to Emperor Wenwu Sheng. In February of the thirteenth year of Tianbao, he changed his honorific title to Emperor Guangxiao, the great sage of civil and military affairs. - "Old Tang Book"
1. Tang Taizong, who is not highly educated, turned out to be Emperor Wen of Tang!
Chairman Mao Zedong commented on the emperors of the past dynasties in "Qinyuan Spring and Snow", clearly pointing out that "cherish the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and slightly lose the literary style; Tang Zong and Song Ancestors are slightly inferior to coquettishness." "Slightly inferior to literary talent" and "slightly less coquettish" mean the same thing, and simply put, the culture is not high, and the old man is coarse.
To say that Emperor Wen is still Emperor Qianlong Hongli, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, Li Houzhu Li Yu, Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, Wei Gaozu Cao Pi, they are very profound in literature and even literary attainments, and they are the most worthy of the word "Wen", especially Emperor Qianlong.
Emperor Qianlong Aixinjue Luo Hongli wrote 43,630 poems in his lifetime, 767 more poems than the "All Tang Poems", which included 42,863 poems by 2,529 Tang Dynasty poets.
Sui Shizu Yang Guang's "Jiangdu Palace Music Song" is known as the ancestor of the seven laws, and was praised by Wang Minyun as "a solitary work covering the whole Tang Dynasty (poem)", and Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moon Night" is also transformed from Yang Guang's "Spring River Flower Moon Night".
You say weird, it's not strange. In terms of the number of poems written, Emperor Qianlong is absolutely unprecedented among the emperors, but the last word of Emperor Qianlong's nickname is a pure character, and we all call him Emperor Qingchun.
If you pull out the name of the country, the temple number, and the name of the emperor, the title of the emperor of Qianlong is like this: Qing Gao, Patriarch, Tianlongyun, Zhicheng, Xianjue, Tiyuan, Liji, Wenfenwu, Qinming, Filial Piety, and Divine Pure Emperor.
Emperor Qianlong
Look? There is a word "Wen" in it, but the word "dressing" is modified in front of it. If it is disgusting to say that Emperor Jiaqing gave Emperor Qianlong the number of Gaozong Temple, the status of the two in literature can be seen, especially Emperor Qianlong, who wrote so many poems without merit and hard work. But do you know? Emperor Qianlong's nickname is Emperor Qingchun, Yang Guang's nickname is Emperor Yang of Sui, and Liu Heng, Li Shimin, and Zhu Di, who have fallen to the ground and never written any works, are nicknamed Emperor Wen.
You see Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, who created a new realm in the calligraphy world, and created a thin gold body in a unique way, which can be called the first person of imperial calligraphy and can be called the emperor of calligraphy.
Let's take a look at Li Yu, the queen of Li, whose words are fragrant and gentle, sad and melancholy, creating a graceful school in the world of words, and standing in a high position in the literary world, which can be described as the master of words.
Cao Dan
I feel that in history, there is one Emperor Wen who is the most worthy of the name, that is Cao Ziheng, that is, Cao Zhi and his brother Cao Pi. But in addition to Emperor Qianlong and Cao Pi, Zhao Ji, Li Yu, and Yang Guang are all the kings of the dead country, so they can only say Cao Pi, and the emperor who loves literature and literature is definitely not called a text, how can the king of the dead country be worthy of the above!
In history, Cao Pi, the founding emperor of Wei, was really Emperor Wen of Wei. But tell me, how is Tang Taizong Li Shimin's nickname Emperor Wen?
Second, the heroic and heroic Emperor Tang Wendi
In 635 AD, Tang Taizong Li Shimin opened the self-praise mode, and he proudly said to the minister of civil and military affairs: I look at the bosses of the ancient pacification of the world, all of them are more than 40 years old, and the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu became the Son of Heaven at the age of 33.
I, Li Shimin, are better than Liu Xiu, I think I went to the battlefield at the age of 18, pacified the heroes at the age of 24, and was promoted to the emperor at the age of 29, who can be better than me in terms of martial arts?
Since I became emperor, I have kept reading books, reciting sages, understanding the fundamentals of customs and education, and studying the roots of political righteousness. It has been implemented for many years, the world is under great rule, the subjects are happy, the sons are filial, and the courtiers are loyal, which surpasses the ancients in terms of literature.
Since the Zhou and Qin dynasties, the minority regimes have continued to intrude, and my martial arts and cultural rule have made them (Ji Feng) submit and bow down, shouting that I am the Khan of the Heavens, and they have bowed down at the feet of my Tang Emperor, among the ethnic minorities in Huairou Distance, I want to say second, no one dares to say first.
Emperor Guangwu
"The masters of the ancient chaos are all over forty years old, but Guangwu Chinese New Year's Eve three. But I raised troops in the eighteenth year, set the world in the twenty-fourth year, and was promoted to the Son of Heaven in the twenty-ninth year. Less from the Rong brigade, no time to read, since Zhenguan, the hand does not release the volume, know the foundation of weathering, see the source of political theory. In the past few years, the world has been governed and customs have changed, and the son is filial and loyal, and this is too ancient. In the past, Zhou and Qin descended, Rong Di invaded internally, and now Rong Di Ji Feng is all concubines, and this is far better than the ancients.
On the stage of self-praise, Li Shimin made it clear that he was martial first and then Wenyuan, which can be called the first of the three kinds. Especially in terms of martial arts, in terms of the emperor's age, he said that he was the first in the world, and Emperor Guangwu was second.
Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu became the emperor at the age of 33, and Li Shimin became the emperor at the age of 29, 4 years younger than Liu Xiuzhengzheng, which is very suitable for the phenomenon of the emperor's youth.
The army in Jinyang was Zhang by Li Shimin, in Huoyi Li Shimin planned to attack Song Laosheng, in the Three Kings Mausoleum Li Shimin ambushed Duan Da, Li Shimin used a good strategy to defeat Xue Rengao, and made great achievements for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.
From the beginning of the army to the pacification of the world, Li Shimin took 6 years, and from the pacification of the world to the becoming the son of heaven Li Shimin took another five years. The speed is so fast, and the achievements are so great, that they are completely worthy of a martial character, but why is it a literary? Obviously, Li Shimin has no culture!
Third, the courtier's Chinese is the highest, and Diliwu is the strongest!
It is Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was born as a student (college student), and his nickname is not Emperor Wen but Emperor Wu.
In fact, it is not only Liu Xiu, but Cao Cao (Cao Zhi, I think Cao Cao), who has the highest achievement in Chinese studies of the three Cao Zhi, is the founder of Cao Wei, but his nickname is not Emperor Wen, but is posthumously honored as Emperor Wu by Emperor Wen's son Cao Pi.
Chairman Mao Zedong famously said in his poem "Lang Tao Sha Beidaihe" that "Wei Wu waved the whip, and there was a posthumous chapter in the east of Jieshi", which is an appreciation for Cao Cao's literary attainments and even literary achievements. Why is this strange phenomenon happening?
In fact, it is very simple, that is, in the nickname, the courtier has the highest Chinese, and the emperor is the strongest. We know that in terms of nicknames, the best nickname for civil and military officials is Wen, followed by Wenzhen, and later Wenzhen changed to Wenzheng in order to avoid the name of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong. The well-known Wen Zhenggong includes Du Shoutian, Zeng Guofan and others.
For military generals, there are martial arts characters in the nicknames, but they have always been heavy on literature and light on martial arts, and the nicknames of martial arts cannot be compared with the names of civil ministers. However, I found an interesting phenomenon that the name of the character is the most valuable among the civil and military officials, and the value of the word martial is among the emperors of the past dynasties.
Emperor Wu Sangui of Zhou Gao
Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Gao of the Qing Dynasty, and even that Wu Sangui was honored by his grandson as Emperor Gao of Zhou.
Emperor Wu was in the Han Dynasty, and should be under Emperor Wen, starting from Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, which was generally the standard configuration of the founding emperor. For example, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Chen Baxian, and Emperor Wu of Zhou Yu Wenyong. However, the Sui Dynasty did not have Emperor Wu of Sui, and Emperor Wen of Sui was the founding emperor.
Fourth, Li Shimin's nickname can only be Emperor Wen
Earlier, I told the officials that Emperor Wu is generally the exclusive domain of Emperor Taizu, and Taizu is basically the founder of the country. Although Li Shimin is very good, he is not the founding king, and second, his throne is not right. It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin cherishes the throne very much, and tries to dilute these with the Ming monarch's order.
In governing the country, he worked hard to benefit the people. In dealing with meritorious heroes, he will never unload the mill and kill donkeys, but treat them well. He even encouraged Wei Zheng and his civil and military officials to give their opinions directly to themselves. Wei Zheng was originally a person who abolished the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and his temper was very straight, and at the same time, in order to express his loyalty and integrity, he always kept putting forward opinions to Li Shimin.
Wei
Li Shimin was very irritable about this, but in order to maintain the image of Mingjun, he also endured it again and again. Li Shimin is governing the country and the people, and he is completely worthy of his name of Shimin (Jing Shi Zhi Min), and created the rule of Zhenguan. The ancient emperors all said that they would fight the world immediately, but to govern the world, they had to test the writing pen, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty created by Li Shimin was a prosperous scene, which can be described by the word "Wen".
But Li Shimin still felt that it was not enough, so he checked the living note. The living note is that a special person counts the diary for the emperor every day, and our diary is not allowed to be read by outsiders, for the sake of secrecy and privacy. However, the emperor's diary was not allowed to be read by the emperor for the sake of supervision and confidentiality.
The emperor has a lot of power, and sometimes he can do whatever he wants, so how can he limit it? It is not enough to rely on the six provinces and six ministries alone, and it is not enough to rely on the death of the civil servants, but the most important thing is to rely on the historians to record everything the emperor does, and after the emperor's death, it will be used as a reference basis for giving the emperor a nickname.
Not to mention anything else, when the emperor wants to have the supervision of daily life, he has to regulate his words and deeds, and he often has to think twice before speaking, and before acting, he will not dare to act recklessly.
Especially some emperors who pay great attention to fame and aspire to be monarchs like Yao Shun, they will live a simple life, love to study, and work hard, Li Shimin Li Erfeng is such a person, and he also wrote a book called "Emperor Fan". From all aspects, the standards for being an emperor are formulated. The book "Emperor Fan" is actually how to be a good emperor.
But Li Shimin has a good face, but he made a big mistake, he even directly checked the living notes, and even revised the historical materials. The consequence of his view of the living notes is that it is difficult for the petty officials who record the living notes to speak up impartially, which makes the diary a pat, not to mention that Li Shimin will revise the historical data!
Li Shimin was not in the right position, and he cared about his reputation very much, so he asked people to delete the diary materials that were not conducive to his tall image, and did not hesitate to fake fans in order to highlight his great image. Since then, Li Shimin has become Li Yuan's best son, and the establishment of the Tang Dynasty seems to be the credit of Li Shimin, and naturally Li Shimin has become the most righteous prince.
However, we must explain that Li Yuan was not confused when he started the army, and Li Shimin was only 18 years old at that time, even though there were newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers, but they were far from reaching the knowledge of his father Li Yuan. He himself said that he was promoted to the Son of Heaven at the age of 29, surpassing Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.
Li Shimin is not the founding emperor, and it is still a bit far-fetched to say these words, but the prosperity of Zhenguan's rule is indeed as we have seen. In addition, Emperor Taizong generally corresponds to Emperor Wen, not to mention that Emperor Wen also has a founding emperor! Li Shimin can have the nickname of Emperor Wen, and he is also very satisfied.
