When it comes to the ancestral text of the Great Xia Dynasty, Wuxing Fa Jianli Renxiao Emperor Mingxiao, many people may be confused, who is this brother? But if you change to Xia Jingzong Li Yuanhao, many people will suddenly realize, it turns out that you said this trembling M ah!
Indeed, Li Yuanhao's popularity can throw the song name nangxiao out of the eight streets, many people know that the founding emperor of the Western Xia is called Li Yuanhao, but they do not know that he is also called Zhao Yuanhao and Song Mingnanxiao.
Previously, Monkey Ge had written an article titled "Song Renzong in a Dilemma: Enemy Relatives and Nobles Come to Defect, Should They Accept It?" Or should I refuse? Zhao Yuanhao was mentioned in the text, and there were many enthusiastic readers to correct me: don't li guan Zhao Dai, the king of Western Xia is Li Yuanhao, not Zhao Yuanhao.
Today, Monkey Ge will specifically talk about the name of Yuan Hao, the founding emperor of Western Xia, to see whether his surname is Li or Zhao.
If Yuanhao's old rival, Renzong Zhao Zhentong, was the emperor with the most old wives in history, then Yuanhao was the emperor with the most surnames in history.
Yuan Hao's original surname was Tuoba, and his surname was Li, and he also had the surname Zhao, and finally changed his surname to Song, and was falsely rumored to be surnamed Yuan, a person with five surnames, which can be called the emperor with the most surnames in history.
Some people may not understand, why is it so complicated to pinch? Shouldn't your dad's last name be your last name? How did you get to Yuanhao here and still make a large number of surnames? Don't be anxious, and listen to monkey grid slowly.
As we all know, the Western Xia Kingdom was a country established by the Dang xiang people, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the division of Xia Prefecture, after several generations of business expansion, and finally the establishment of sects and the establishment of the state, leaving a strong mark in history.
The relationship between the Xiazhou regime and the Central Plains regime has also undergone several changes, from the initial dependence and obedience, to being co-opted by bondage, to the establishment of a country and independence, and the division of a corner, the party members have grown in the process of metamorphosis, successfully squeezed into the East Asian international circle, and become one of them.
The Western Xia rulers who were originally surnamed Tuoba were in the process of attaching themselves to the Central Plains Dynasty and accepted the surname given by China, so they were surnamed Li today and Zhao tomorrow, because Li and Zhao were both given surnames by large countries.
The Tuoba clan of Xia Prefecture received the surname Li twice, the first time was in the sixth year of the Tang Dynasty (632), and Yuan Hao's ancestor Tuoba Chici led the people to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty, and was awarded the title of Governor of Xirong Prefecture by Emperor Zhenguan and given the surname Li.
The second time was in the third year of the Tang Dynasty (883), when Tuoba Sigong participated in the war to encircle and suppress Emperor Daqi, and was given the title of Duke of Xia by Emperor Li of Tang, giving him the surname Li, and truly began to divide Xia Sui Yinyu. Li Sigong's younger brother Li Sizhong was the sixth ancestor of Yuan Hao.
Judging from the historical records, after the first time the surname was given, the Tuoba clan did not take it seriously, because whether it was Tuoba Chici, or Tuoba Shou lonely, Tuoba Qianhui, and then Tuoba Sigong, none of them ever called themselves Li Chici, Li Shouhuan, and Li Qianhui, and before Tuoba Sigong was given the surname Li, it was only Tuoba Sigong.
It was not until after being given the surname for the second time that the Tuoba Sigong brothers and their descendants began to be surnamed Li, And Li Sijian, Li Sizhong, Li Renyou, Li Renfu, Li Renyan, Li Yichao, Li Yiyin, Li Guangrui, Li Jipeng, Li Jiqian, and so on were all surnamed Li, not Tuoba.
From what Li Jiqian said when he contacted the Zhonghao chieftain, "The Li clan has a western land, and once it is extinct now, Er waits not to forget the Li clan, can I recover from my rejuvenation?" "It can be known that they gave up their original surname Tuoba and regarded themselves as Li.
This is how Li Yuanhao's ancestors changed from Tuoba to Li, so how did they change from Li to Zhao? It is also because of the surname given.
In May of the seventh year of the Taiping Revival of the Northern Song Dynasty (982), Li Jipeng, the new Dingnan Army, because he could not suppress the infighting among his relatives, he sacrificed the land to the Great Song and asked for it to be annexed, and was summoned to the dynasty by Emperor Taizong of Song (don't ask me who Zhao Jiong is anymore, I am tired of explaining).
Li Jiqian, who belonged to li's relatives within the five clothes of the Li clan, was also summoned, and Li Jiqian, who was only 20 years old, did not want to be slaughtered, so he falsely claimed to have buried his nursing mother and fled to Jinze, and pulled up the banner of restoring the ancestral inheritance to rebel against the Song Dynasty.
Although Li Jiqian had always been surrounded and annihilated by the Song army, he was like Xiao Qiang, who could not be killed, repeatedly defeated and fought guerrilla warfare with the Song army, and also turned to the Khitan state to use his strength to develop his own forces, so that Zhao Jiong was exhausted and helpless, so in May of the first year of Duan gong (988), he reappointed Li Jifeng as the dingnan army to stay, and gave him the name Zhao Baozhong, asking him to return to Xia Prefecture to recruit Li Jiqian.
What Zhao Jiong did not expect was that the Li brothers played the drama of eating left and right and stepping on two boats, and Li Jiqian introduced Li Jipeng to the Khitan state and accepted the knighthood given by the Khitans; Li Jipeng told the Great Song that Li Jiqian had a remorseful heart and asked for surrender.
In July of the second year of Chunhua (991), Zhao Jiong granted Li Jiqian the title of Yinzhou Observation Envoy, giving him the name Zhao Baoji, and at the same time granted Li Jiqian's younger brother Li Jichong the title of Suizhou Regiment Training Envoy, giving him the name Zhao Baoning.
This is the beginning and end of Xiazhou's transformation from Li to Zhao. When facing Zhao Song, Li Jipeng is Zhao Baozhong, and Li Jiqian is Zhao Baoji; but when they face the Khitan state, they naturally still think of themselves as Li Jipeng and Li Jiqian, and if they still call themselves the Zhao family against the Khitan Liaoguo, it will be too blind.
Of course, Zhao Jiong was not a fool, seeing that Li Jiqian's harassment on the border of the Song Kingdom had not stopped much, who believed that he had the heart of repentance and submission?
Therefore, in the fifth year of Chunhua (994), the indignant Zhao Jiong ordered his brother-in-law Li Jilong to send a large army to attack Zhao Baoji in Xia Prefecture, and cut off the name given by Zhao Baoji and renamed Li Jiqian.
It is said that the imperial court has already taken back the name given, and you Zhao Baoji will restore Li Jiqian's real name, and you can no longer claim to be a member of the Zhao family.
But for a political hooligan like Li Jiqian, you unilaterally cut off the surname guan I mao, I should rob you, I should pay tribute to you, when paying tribute, Li Jiqian still boldly called himself Zhao Baoji, and played the second skin face very slippery.
In the face of such a rogue face of Li Jiqian/Zhao Baoji, Zhao Jiong can only bow to the wind, you claim to be self-proclaimed! I can't handle it.
Later, due to the increasing frequency of Li Jiqian's intrusion into the border, Zhao Jiong was furious, and in September of the first year of the Dao Dynasty (995), he again issued a strict edict and reiterated the instruction to cut off the name given by Li Jiqian, and once again deprived Li Jiqian of his surname of Zhao.
On March 29, 997, the third year of the Dao Dynasty, Zhao Jiong died, and the crown prince Zhao Heng took the throne, and Li Jiqian once again surrendered to Zhao Heng and wrote to Zhao Heng as a vassal.
Although Zhao Heng knew that Li Jiqian was not sincere with him, he still accepted it by pushing the boat along the water, and in December of that year, he granted Li Jiqian the envoy of the Difficult Army festival and gave him the name Zhao Baoji, which was the second time that Li Jiqian was given the surname Zhao by the Great Song Dynasty.
(December 997 of the third year of the Dao Dynasty) So Li Ji sent the envoy Xiu Gong to ask for the appointment of the domain. Although the superior detected his deception, Shi Fang was forgiven, and the aunt was quiet, because of his request, he gave him his name and official title. Jia Chen, with the Yinzhou Observation envoy Zhao Baoji as the envoy of the Difficult Festival, sent the right class of the inner attendant to know Zhang Chonggui's edict. (Long Volume 42)
From then on, Li Jiqian, the ruler of Xia Prefecture who had once again become the Zhao family, was Zhao Baoji when facing the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and after his death, his son was Zhao Deming, and after Zhao Deming's death, his son was Zhao Yuanhao, which is the origin of Zhao Yuanhao's name.
That is to say, when Yuanhao faced the Song Dynasty, or when the Song Dynasty mentioned Yuanhao, he was Zhao Yuanhao, and the Song Dynasty people would never call him Li Yuanhao. It was only in the face of the Khitan Liao state that Yuan Hao was Li Yuanhao, and at that time, yuanhao was called Li Yuanhao and only Liao people, because the Liao state would never call him Zhao Yuanhao by the surname given by the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, after Zhao Deming's death, yuan hao in the early days of succession, it has been used to give the surname Zhao Yuanhao from China, until the Song people Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao came to vote, they gave up the surname, called themselves "Song Mingshi", called themselves Wuzu, also known as Wuzu, Wuzhu, with the meaning of "Qing tianzi" and "khan".
Although the time when Yuan Hao changed his surname to Song was not exact, it was nothing more than after the Ming Dynasty (1032) attacked the throne, or after Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao defected, in short, before he founded the country, he gave up the surname of Tang Song and changed his surname to Song.
In October of the fifth year of the Song Dynasty (1038), Yuan Hao was proclaimed emperor, the founding number of the country was Great Xia, and he called himself emperor of the ancestral text Wuxing Fa Jianli Renxiao, and Jianyuan Tianzhi Li Fa Yanzuo. The emperor who set his own temple number alive, Yuan Hao is the second, guess who the first one is?
In the first month of the second year of Song Baoyuan (1039), emperor Yuan Hao of Bactria went to the family of Emperor Renzong Zhao guanjia, saying that he was originally a descendant of Tuoba Yuanwei, who was supported by all ethnic groups in the northwest and had already become emperor, demanding that the Song Dynasty give it official recognition.
Yuanhao's trespassing behavior could make the Zhao guan's family angry, and in June of that year, the emperor stripped Zhao Yuanhao of his official title, and from this time on, the Song officials once again unilaterally deprived the Lord of Xia Prefecture of the surname, and there was no reward since then, that is to say, in the eyes of the Zhao official family, Yuan Hao was not qualified to be a Member of the Zhao family.
For the matter of Yuan Hao's establishment as emperor, the Great Song Dynasty and the wilderness were also talking about it, and the people thought that Yuan Hao claimed to be a descendant of Yuan Wei and was restoring the surname of Yuan, so Ouyang Xiu also recorded the rumor that Yuan Hao changed his surname to Yuan shi as a true matter in the "Guitian Record".
After that, Yuan Hao finally forced the Song Dynasty to recognize the existence of the Xia Kingdom through the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and the Battle of Dingchuan Village, and the two sides began to negotiate peace, and after consultation, Yuanhao agreed to replace the "Wuzu" of the Song people, change his name to Nangxiao, and cancel the imperial title to claim the title of vassal to the Great Song.
In December of the fourth year of the Qing calendar (1044), the two sides signed a peace agreement, and the Zhao guanjia zhen could seal the name of Nangxiao as the lord of the Xia kingdom and forever as the auxiliary of the Great Song Dynasty. (Judging from the contents of the edict, there is no record of the official family re-giving the surname to Yuan Hao.) ）
In short, from this time on, the song name Yuanhao became the song name Ofanxiao, and the Song Dynasty people mentioned that he was either called Zhao Yuanhao or SongMing. Of course, the Liao people still called him Li Yuanhao.
Therefore, Xia Jingzong Yuanhao, the name of the empress dowager, is called The Name of the Emperor, li Yuanhao, Zhao Yuanhao, and the name of Yuanhao, are his former names.
As a modern person, you don't have to consider the position of Song and Liao, naturally you want to call him which name you want, whether it is Zhao Yuanhao, or Li Yuanhao, or Song Mingbaoxiao, you all know that it refers to Xia Jingzong.
On the issue of the surname of the Yuanhao family, there is still a little afterglow later, after the death of Yuanhao, the son Liang Zuo took the throne, and once asked the Great Song to marry the lord in the seventh year of Jiayou (1062), the Zhao official Jiazhen was unwilling, and refused to propose marriage on the grounds that he had given the surname Zhao to the ancestors of the Liangzuo family in the past, you were originally our Zhao family, and the same surname is not known?
Probably because of the refusal to marry, Liang Zuo sent an emissary to mourn Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen in July of the following year (1063), and asked Emperor Yingzong of Song to change his surname to Li shi back to the Tang Dynasty, which made the Song court very unhappy, how many years had the Tang Dynasty died? Are you still in a hurry to be a Member of the Lee family? Is it not good to honestly abide by the covenant of the calendar and your surname?
Anyway, regardless of whether the Song Dynasty was unhappy, Liang Zuo still restored the surname Li in this year, of course, the surname of Li was not abandoned, so the Xia royal family was also surnamed Li, also surnamed Song, and there were also documents that the surname Tuoba was used at the same time.
However, from the standpoint of the Song Dynasty, in the records of the Song people, the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom has always been called Zhao Yuanhao, Zhao Bingchang, and Zhao Qianshun, and it was not until after the Southern Song Dynasty that the emperors after Qianshun were no longer given the title of Zhao.
That's it.
