1. The blessed general in the Sui and Tang dynasties
So-called: halfway out of the way to bite the gold. At the mention of this, it is estimated that many people's first reaction is that Cheng bites the gold is a blessed person. Especially in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Can't do martial arts? It's okay, there is a fairy big brother teaching in the dream. After I woke up, I almost forgot about it, and it was nothing, remembering three and a half moves, and still scare people into a daze.
Moreover, Cheng Yaojin also has a good brother named Qin Qiong. Later, after Jia Jia Lou's 46 friends made a righteousness, a toss cheng bit jin on Wagang Mountain, first confused as the "Chaos Demon King Dade Tianzi", and then yin and yang mistakenly married "Bai Fumei" Pei Cuiyun...
No wonder it is said that "halfway out of the way to bite the gold", specializing in bad people's good things. After half a day of trouble, Cheng Yaojin turned out to be a master of "cutting off beards", and intercepted good luck and good luck to himself. But don't mention Cheng Biting Jin's origin, just a word bitter.
Cheng Biting Jin's father was named Cheng Youde, who died of illness when Cheng Biting Jin was seven years old, and it was the old mother Who pulled him to grow up with Hard Work. Later, Cheng Yaojin embarked on the road to riches by selling smuggled salt, but he killed the patrol officer. So Cheng Washijin was thrown into prison and sentenced to death. The official who handled the case suddenly found that Cheng Yaojin was a "straight man" and liked him very much, so he was sentenced to a suspended death.
Three years later, a "pardon letter" floated from the sky, and it turned out that the Sui Emperor had ascended the throne to grant amnesty to the world. But Cheng bit Jin but he was still angry, I had food and drink in the big prison, what was I going to do? Don't go out!
Make those cell bosses turn around and beg Cheng to bite the gold: You just do well, go out. In the big prison, you are the uncle, and even we can't afford to mess with it. what? No clothes, we give. Therefore, he took a white sermon robe, handed it to him and bit the gold, and said: Uncle Cheng, please wear it.
In this way, Cheng Biting Jin calculated it, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties also sighed: Forgive a horizontal worm... This was followed by Cheng Yaojin and You Junda robbing the emperor' bar, thus opening the curtain on the Sui and Tang Dynasties! So is this Cheng Yaojin in the Sui and Tang Dynasties really a smuggler of salt?
In fact, it is not at all, the unearthed Cheng biting gold tombstone, said very clearly! Cheng bit Jin Tototo a brash "second generation official".
Second, the historical Cheng bites gold
It was 1986, and archaeologists carried out rescue excavations of the Tomb of Cheng Yaojin in the ZhaoLing Tomb. From this excavation, the epitaph of Cheng Yaojin was excavated.
Zeng Zuxing, Sima of Qichong Prefecture. Zu Zhe, Sima of Qi Jin Prefecture. Father Lou, Jeju Daejung-jeong, imperial envoy to hold the festival of win the state of the military, win the state of thorn history.
That is to say, Cheng Yaojin started from his great-grandfather's generation, until his father, this is all an official! He was also surprised first, because then he dug it out, and the tombstone of Cheng Boxian, the son of Jin, was given the source of the ancestors of the Cheng family, who? It was during the Three Kingdoms period that Cheng Yu, one of Cao Cao's five great strategists, said: Cheng Yu is the fifteenth ancestor of Cheng Boxian!
Everyone knows that Cheng Yu is a Dong'a person, so what about Cheng Biting Jin's father and son? It also happens to be a Dong'a person! Unexpected or not? Surprised or not surprised? Cheng Biting Jin's life can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period. No wonder in the chaotic world of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Cheng Biting Jin could set off such a big wave, it seems that this is really a family inheritance.
Therefore, the "Sui and Tang Dynasty" said that the argument that Cheng biting gold was a smuggled salt seller was completely overturned. But there are still many doubts about Cheng biting jin. The first is, is Cheng's weapon of biting gold really a mountain axe? Because this is about the so-called "three and a half moves".
The conclusion is that it is not at all. The real Cheng Biting Jin in history, like Shan Xiongxin, is a fierce general with a horse mallet.
The mallet is more terrifying than the spear, longer in length, and is specially designed to break heavy armor cavalry. And the manufacturing process is quite complex. For example, the shaft of a spear is wooden. But the mallet is selected from good wood with high quality toughness, and then the oil is repeatedly soaked, at least for a year or so, and then air-dried for at least three months after removal...
A year and a half has passed, but it is only the mallet that makes the horse mallet, not the hammer head, which is the so-called "gun head". Therefore, the manufacture of a qualified horse mallet is not only long-term, the success rate is low, but also costs a lot of money. A mallet, the sum of the wood used and discarded, can make ten strong bows.
Therefore, the horse mallet became the standard of the Martial General family in the Tang and Song Dynasties, of course, it can also be understood as an heirloom, provided that as long as it is not damaged.
This is the weapon of Cheng Biting Jin, which is higher and more luxurious than the "Kaishan Plate Axe", and more prominent in the noble status of the master! Therefore, from the weapon of Cheng Biting Jin, it can also be deduced backwards, and his origin is by no means an ordinary family, let alone a smuggling salt.
At the same time, Cheng Biting Jin's tombstone also reveals an important event of his. That is, before Li Shimin's death, Cheng Yaojin was sent by Li Shimin to the side of the crown prince Li Zhi: from the Cuihui Palace, he was sent to fly on the flying horse, and from now on. That is, when Li Shimin died, Cheng Yaojin was responsible for protecting the safety of the new emperor Li Zhi and protecting Li Zhi to the throne the whole time.
As we all know, during the change of Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate, Cheng Yaojin participated in it, and it was a meritorious supporter. Now he has protected Li Zhi from ascending the throne, allowing the Tang Dynasty to survive the dangerous period of the transfer of imperial power and once again support the lord and make meritorious contributions!
In this way, in fact, it is equivalent to explaining why in the later years of Cheng Yaojin,when he was hand-picked by Li Zhi to go out to attack Ashina Helu in the Western Turks, although he was again a command mistake and an arsonist robbery, not only had a bad impact, but also lost Li Zhi's face, but he was not punished.
3. Who is Cheng's wife?
In "Sui and Tang Dynasty", the most joyful scene is that Cheng bites Jin and marries Pei Cuiyun. Pei Cuiyun is Pei Yuanqing's older sister, her father is the famous Sui general Pei Renji, the family cattle to the explosion, is a proper rich lady Qianjin.
What about Cheng Jin's wife in history? There are two. The first was Lady Sun, who later died. Let's mainly say that the second person, surnamed Cui, is known as Cui in history, and was born in Qinghe. Yes, it is the famous "Qinghe Cui Clan" in history, one of the famous "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
How bullish is it? Xiaobian does not elaborate, in short, it is a proper top giant. Because I want to say who the ancestor of the Qinghe Cui clan is.
Can be traced back to Cui Yan in the Three Kingdoms period. After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, Cui Yan followed Cao Cao. So Cao Cao proposed marriage on behalf of his son Cao Zhi. In this way, Cui Yan's niece married Cao Zhi! That is to say, even Cao Cao initially had to hurry up with the Cui family.
As mentioned earlier, the ancestors of Cheng Yaojin can be traced back to Cheng Yu in the Three Kingdoms period. Today, his wife's ancestors date back to Cui Yan in the Three Kingdoms. During the Three Kingdoms period, the descendants of Cao Cao's famous subjects actually became two sons in the Sui and Tang dynasties - history is so interesting.
This is actually the historical reason why Cheng Biting Jin, who was born from smuggling salt, was able to marry the rich man Pei Cuiyun in the "Sui and Tang Dynasties".
Fourth, the reliable and low-key Cheng bites the gold
It is true that the historical Cheng Yaojin may not be as good as the "Sui and Tang Dynasty Yanyi" wrote, the blessing is so good that it makes people red, but it can also be called a real blessing general.
First, Cheng Biting Jin twice supported the Lord and had meritorious service, so that even if he made a big mistake in his later years, he would not be punished, which actually shows that Cheng Biting Jin was reliable, otherwise why didn't Li Shimin assign other fierce generals to protect Li Zhi? Doesn't it mean that Cheng bites gold is very reliable.
Second, Cheng Yaojin married Cui Shi as a wife. The impact is also great. Because during the Sui and Tang dynasties, even if it was the prime minister, such as the later Li Yifu, he wanted to be the son-in-law of this "five surnames and seven hopes", but he was directly ignored by others, and even Li Zhi was angry for this, but what could be done?
On the other hand, Cheng bites the gold but easily gets it done, which actually shows that people Cheng bites the gold, will be a person and an official, when it is low-key, it is low-key, it is not often "halfway out", arrogant "cut-off", always bad for others.
This is also in line with the historical Cheng biting gold. For example, his protection of Li Zhi's ascension to the throne is so glorious, but it is not recorded in the history books, and if it were not for the excavation of his epitaph, I am afraid it would not have been known.
