Proverbs are the prophecies made by ancient capable people and strangers about what will happen. Many proverbs are mysterious and mysterious, but they are extremely accurate.
First, peach and plum win the world
Emperor Yang of Sui was the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Not long after he became the emperor, there was a proverb among the people: peach and plum win the world. After Yang Guang learned of this, he asked Fang Shi to excuse himself. It was concluded that in the near future, there would be someone surnamed Li who would take over the world.
During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, he governed the country diligently and thriftily, and created the rule of the emperor. He left his son Emperor Yang of Sui a prosperous era, but after Yang Guang reigned, he built a large number of buildings, reckless soldiers, and was arrogant and lascivious, which consumed the national strength of the Sui Dynasty and burdened the people heavily. After the chaos in the world, Yang Guang was killed by the general Yu Wenhua around him, and his country was robbed by his cousin Li Yuan.
During Yang Guang's reign, in order to prevent the Sui Dynasty from being taken away by people surnamed Li, he suppressed the ministers and nobles surnamed Li, but the will of heaven was difficult to disobey, and soon Li Mi of Wagangzhai rose and became an important force against Sui, but in the end it was his cousin Li Yuan who took away his country.
Second, the inspection is the Son of Heaven
Chai Rong was the adopted son of Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Guo Wei's sons were all killed by Liu Chengyou, the Yin Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, so when he died, he passed the throne to his adopted son Chai Rong. During Chai Rong's reign, he was given a wooden plaque with the words "Check for the Son of Heaven" written on it. In front of the palace, he was a high-ranking general who commanded the forbidden army around the emperor. Chai Rong's subordinates were all inspected in front of the palace, and it was Guo Wei's son-in-law Zhang Yongde.
Chai Rong, is the first Ming monarch in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, he once promised to give him 30 years, "ten years to open up the world, ten years to raise the people, ten years to peace", he can create a peaceful and prosperous world, but unfortunately God only gave Chai Rong 6 years. During the reign of Chai Rong, he made great efforts to govern the country and was determined to reform, so that the national strength of the Later Zhou Dynasty flourished and the people became rich. Chai Rong also defeated Houshu in the west, and conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty three times, which was very featherful. The history books praised Chai Rong: "Shenwu is a hero, and he is the hero of a generation." In 959, Chai Rong regained the sixteen states of Youyun and conquered the Liao State in the north, he fought a series of battles and recovered the three customs and three states, and when he was about to seize Youzhou, he suddenly fell ill and was forced to withdraw his troops.
During Chai Rong's reign, he was quite jealous of Zhang Yongde, but the world was not yet calm, and Chai Rong did not dare to kill the heroes. After Chai Rong fell ill, "inspection for the Son of Heaven" became a thorn in his heart. Chai Rong has outstanding ability and can suppress Zhang Yongde, but his son Chai Zongxun is only a teenager and has no ability to control Zhang Yongde, which makes Chai Rong worried. In order to avoid his death, Zhou Jiangshan was taken away by Zhang Yongde by the "point check", and Chao Rong issued an edict to remove Zhang Yongde from the post of inspection in front of the palace, and let Zhao Kuangyin replace him as the commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace.
It's a pity that after Chai Rong's death, Zhang Yongde did not rebel and seek to seize the throne, but Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of the bridge to mutiny and seized the throne of Chai Zongxun.
3. Hu Ye, the Dead Qin!
During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, in order to pursue immortality, he sent many alchemists to various places to find immortal elixirs for himself. Lu Sheng, a famous alchemist in Yandi, was ordered by Qin Shi Huang to go overseas to find an elixir for Qin Shi Huang. When he returned, he did not bring the elixir that Qin Shi Huang had dreamed of, but brought back a mysterious book with the words "Hu Ye, the Dead Qin!". Qin Shi Huang thought that Hu was referring to the Huns. In order to prevent the Qin Dynasty from being destroyed by the Xiongnu, Qin Shi Huang ordered the general Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 to build the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu.
However, the Qin Dynasty was not defeated at the hands of the Xiongnu in the end, but at the hands of Hu Hai, the son of Qin Shi Huang. Hu, refers to Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin.
In 210 BC, when Qin Shi Huang died, he left an edict for his eldest son, Fusu, to preside over his funeral and inherit the throne. After the death of Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Gao was worried that after Fusu succeeded to the throne, he would reuse Meng Tian, Meng Yi and others to make himself lose power. In order to maintain his current power, Zhao Gao and Prime Minister Li Si and Hu Hai planned the Dune Incident, they killed Fusu, forged the edict, and let Hu Hai inherit the throne.
During Hu Hai's reign, he was absurd and cruel, and connived at Zhao Gao's wanton behavior, which eventually aroused the dissatisfaction of the people all over the world, and they rose up against Qin.
After the wolf smoke spread everywhere, Zhao Gao was afraid that Hu Hai would learn the truth, so he killed him to vent his anger, and sent someone to kill Hu Hai. The Qin dynasty was destroyed by Liu Bang soon after.
Fourth, the heroine Martial King
During Li Shimin's reign, the folk circulated the ballad of "After Tang III, the heroine Wuwang has the world".
After Li Shimin learned of this, he was worried, and in order to prevent Li Tang Jiangshan from being snatched away by the "heroine Wuwang", he began to suppress the ministers surnamed Wu in the court. Li Junxian, the general of Zuowu Hou Zhonglang under Li Shimin, was awarded the title of Duke of Wulian County for his military exploits, and was stationed at the Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace. Li Junxian's nickname is "Five Niangzi". It just confirms the proverb of "heroine martial king". Li Shimin felt that the "heroine Wuwang" in the ballad was Li Junxian, and in order to prevent Li Tang Jiangshan from being snatched away by Li Junxian, he found a criminal evidence and executed Li Junxian.
It's just that what Li Shimin didn't expect was that the "heroine Martial King" was not Li Junxian, but a woman, the talented Wu Zetian beside him.
Wu Zetian, the daughter of Wu Shi Tong. During Li Shimin's reign, he was summoned to the palace and was named a five-grade talent. In ancient times, patriarchy was preferred, and the status of women was low, and before Wu Zetian, there was no female emperor, which made Li Shimin not expect that it was a woman who seized Li Tang's country. After Li Shimin's death, according to the law, Wu Zetian and other harem concubines who had no heirs were forced to marry in Ganye Temple.
Li Zhi fell in love with Wu Zetian when he was the crown prince. Soon after, he summoned Wu Zetian to the palace and made him his concubine. Wu Zetian relied on his own wrist to bring down Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang, and became Li Zhi's queen. Li Zhi suffered from a head disease and could not deal with the government for a long time, so he asked Wu Zetian to review and deal with the government for himself, which also made Wu Zetian more and more powerful, and began to be called the "two saints" with Li Zhi.
After the death of Li Zhi, the powerful Wu Zetian deposed two sons in succession, Li Xian and Li Dan, and replaced them as emperors and established Wu Zhou.
