Yan Jiu sat down by the couch, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "Brother, I don't know much about it. Although my father told me many things back then, I was young after all, and some things that involved interests and dangers were not
Mention it. Later, when my father sent you and I away in a hurry, he had no time to tell me even less.
Speaking of Jisi Tang, it has a history of at least more than a hundred years. Jisi Tang is not a Jianghu gang, but a unified name for some of the five surnames of the Seven Sects of the Tang Dynasty. The five surnames of the Seven Sects of the Tang Dynasty are Qinghe Cui, Bo
Lingcui, Fan Yanglu, Xingyang Zheng, Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, and Taiyuan King. They were the most powerful noble clans in the Tang Dynasty and the seven most powerful clans. There was a Cui family in Qinghe who disliked the Tang royal family for having Hu
She refused to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty because of her own blood; Xue Yuanchao, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, felt that his greatest regret was that he could not marry a girl from the seven clans and five surnames. From these things, you can know the power and influence of these clans.
huge……"
Lu Yisheng listened with bated breath, and Yan Jiu said again: "But these sects flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and the crisis for their existence was also laid at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Among the founding officials of the Tang Dynasty who were able to enshrine Lingyan Pavilion, there were
One-third are Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Turkic ethnic groups. Not only did Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty himself have Hu ancestry, but he also relied on Turkic troops when the country was founded. Therefore, after the founding of the country, he naturally abandoned Sui Emperor Wen and adopted Chinese orthodoxy.
The national policy is to give priority to the four barbarians and the barbarians, and pay attention to the integration of China and barbarians.
The Yi people have their own political system, military power, and culture that is different from the Han people, but they indulged it without suppressing it, and hidden dangers gradually lay. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses, and numerous generals. Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Turks,
During successive years of natural disasters, he destroyed the Han Dynasty, divided the Western Turks, and frightened the world with his military power. Naturally, the Hu people surrendered to him one after another. However, these Hu people obeyed the Tang Dynasty only in name, and their strength was not restrained at all. On the contrary, they grew stronger day by day.
In the last years of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the founding army was gradually fading. At that time, Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo's power greatly increased after annexing the Qiang, so he raised 200,000 soldiers and forced him to marry the Tang princess. Emperor Taizong believed that marrying a girl can be worth ten soldiers.
Wan, then gave up the use of force, agreed to the marriage, and brought various skills such as medicine, construction, engineering, and mulberry farming to show friendship.
Unexpectedly, Tubo became richer and more powerful, and its ambitions grew even more. Princess Wencheng was still there, and the friendship between Tubo and Tubo was still there. Tubo invaded the Tang Dynasty again, and defeated the Tang general Xue Rengui at Dafeichuan in Xiping, defeating more than 100,000 Tang troops.
After the fall, Tubo gained a sweet advantage. From then on, it invaded the border areas for many years and successively occupied the four towns in the west of Tang An, Qiuci, Yanqi, Khotan, and Shule, and controlled the entire Western Region.
During the reign of Wu Zetian, Wang Xiaojie, the commander-in-chief of the Wuwei Army, defeated Tubo and finally recovered the four towns of Anxi. However, during the reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty continued to adopt the marriage policy at the request of Tubo and married Princess Jincheng to Tubo Zanpu.
The land of Jiuqu was given to Tubo, and it was euphemistically called the land of Tangmu, the Princess of Jincheng. The land of Jiuqu was fertile, and Tubo became more powerful after acquiring the land of Jiuqu. Since then, its strength has greatly increased, and it rebelled and invaded the Tang Dynasty in successive years.
When the Hu Jiedu envoy Anlu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty rebelled, the Tubo took the opportunity to occupy Hexi and Longyou, until the entire Anxi Protectorate was under their control."
Seeing that under the so-called national policy of integrating China and barbarians, the power of the Hu people is growing day by day, and the population of the Hu people is expanding rapidly, some wise people with high surnames in these noble families feel very uneasy. They are worried that if they continue to tolerate this, the five barbarians will invade China again.
Tragedy.
"Those who are not of my race must have different minds. The ambitions of Rong and Di are not the same as those of Hua!" This is a sentence in "Lun on the Relocation of the Rong" written by Jiang Tong of Jin Dynasty, less than ten years after he wrote this political treatise
, the tragedy of the Wuhu rebellion occurred, and almost all the Chinese people were slaughtered. These people of the seven sects and five surnames believed that the Yi and Di tribes should not be confided in! The Tang Dynasty trusted and indulged the Yi and Di too much, and even some military and political powers were concentrated in one body, as if the country
The military envoys of the Kingdom of China are all appointed by barbarians, which is a recipe for disaster. Once the court is unable to control it, tragedy will inevitably occur again. Moreover, those who cause harm to China must be the Yi and Di tribes, so they are extremely worried.
You have to know that in the past, when the world changed and the imperial court changed, it was mostly due to internal disputes among the Chinese clans. The seven sects and five surnames are the orthodox Chinese, so no matter who becomes the emperor, the interests of these high-ranking families will not suffer too much.
.However, once the foreign barbarians cause trouble in the Central Plains, these powerful families will be the first victims. The huge family that has been passed down for hundreds of years may disappear as a result. Therefore, they believe that they should respond as soon as possible. If the country cannot survive, they can survive on their own.
But after all, they are only a few wise people, and there are even fewer elders who can influence the family's decisions, making it difficult to use the family's power.
Later, Hu'er An Lushan rebelled, and the Tang army was defeated repeatedly. They had no choice but to borrow troops from the Uighurs. The Uighurs agreed to send troops, but the conditions they agreed with the Tang Dynasty were "the two capitals will be restored, the land will return to the Tang Dynasty, and the ladies, gold and silk will be allowed to the Uighurs to do whatever they want."
Take it for three days." The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually agreed.
After the Uighurs entered the Central Plains, they robbed property and raped women everywhere. The harm was even more serious than that of the Anshi rebels. At that time, there was a local official who was a member of the Qizong and Five Surnames. In anger, he set fire to death and set many people in Buddhist temples to escape the war.
The Uighur culprit of the refugees was imprisoned. After hearing the news, the Uighur leader galloped from Honglu Temple into the county jail, hacked the jailer, and escaped. The so-called ministers were so arrogant that the Tang Dynasty was helpless.
Not only that, after the Uighurs left, the Tang Dynasty would continue to give them "rewards" to appease them. At the same time, it was forced to buy many sick and old horses from the Uighurs at high prices. Think about it, those Chinese orthodox people with high-profile surnames
The concept was the strongest. They despised the emperor of the Tang Dynasty for having Hu ancestry. What's more, he allowed foreigners to wreak havoc while his own court ignored the dignity and dignity?
Those wealthy families all have resentments, but the imperial court is beautiful but not powerful, but they are helpless. Those with far-sighted people believe that the crisis is getting closer, but they cannot convince the high-ranking family heads to turn from light to darkness and hide.
At this time, one of them, a highly intelligent person, came up with another idea. He thought of using the financial and human resources they could control to separate from the seven sects and five surnames who were in the open and hide them among the people. In this way, if the world was in chaos, the seven sects would be destroyed.
When the five surnames receive a fatal blow, they can continue their bloodline for the seven sects and five surnames."
Yan Jiu said proudly: "This wise man is the one with my surname Lu, and the ancestor of you and me with the surname Lu. Don't underestimate that they only rely on their own personal strength. If the strength of the seven sects and five surnames are concentrated,
, enough to establish a country and destroy a country. The power brought together by these individuals who see the general trend of the world is a power that no one, or even a country, dares to underestimate.
As they expected, the Tang Dynasty could not flourish for more than three generations, and then chaos became frequent, such as the "Yuyang Uprising", the "Anshi Rebellion", "the two capitals were restored, the land returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the ladies' gold and silk were allowed to be taken by the Uighurs for three days."
, "Zhu Bi's Rebellion", "Liu Zhan's Rebellion", "Separation of vassal towns", "Croline Struggles", "Ganlu Incident", "Li Xilie's Rebellion", "Wu Jiyuan's Rebellion", "The capital fell three times and the emperor moved four times",
"Everyone changes his son and eats each other", a series of chaos caused the Tang Dynasty to decline day by day, and the Hu Feng became more and more fierce.
The Tang Dynasty's territory was taken from the Sui Dynasty, but from its founding to its subjugation, even when the country was at its peak, it never regained the territory and wealth of the Sui Dynasty. At this time, the foreigners who had been raised by it single-handedly had their flesh cut out piece by piece.
Go. Eastern Liaoning was occupied by the Sumo Mohe people, western Liaoning was occupied by the Khitans, Anxi and the Beiting Governor's Mansion were divided up by Tubo, Uighurs, and cannibals; Hexi and western Sichuan were occupied by Tubo, and north of Chang'an, Xiazhou, and Qing
The state was handed over to the Dangxiang people by the Tang Dynasty. The Tubo and Uighurs both captured Chang'an, and even the small Nanzhao Kingdom wiped out more than 100,000 Tang troops and occupied Chengdu twice. Until now, all horse breeding places since the Qin and Han Dynasties
Almost all of them were lost to foreigners.
When Huang Chao rebelled, the Tang Dynasty was unable to quell the rebellion, so it borrowed troops from the Shatuo people. This led to the wolf entering the house. The Shatuo people wreaked havoc in the Central Plains. A country was established in ten years and a king was established in three years. At that time, many countries were established and wars broke out.
It goes on and on, everything is broken, everything is wiped out, the clan collapses, and it never regains its former glory. However, the 'Successor Hall' established by my ancestors of the Lu family and other far-sighted people of various sects and surnames, because it is surrounded by three religions and nine streams,
With the five surnames as the core, they were hidden among the people and did not suffer much impact. When the power of the court controlled by the seven sects and five surnames disappeared, the "Ji Si Tang" had great power among the people and was extremely huge.
The power. They have huge wealth, complete intelligence network, criss-cross connections and even powerful force.
The original purpose of the establishment of the Successor Hall was to "continue the survival of successors" for the seven sects and five surnames. Before the Central Plains was unified and the world was stable, it would sting the people, preserve its strength, and not reveal its true identity. But..."
Yan Jiu's eyes flickered slightly and said: "But... from the beginning of the establishment of 'Ji Si Tang', they cut off the relationship with the seven sects and five surnames, completely hidden among the people, and developed a separate branch outside the seven sects and five surnames.
For more than a hundred years, they have had absolutely no connection with the Seven Sects and Five Surnames. The purpose of 'successor and survival' has been indifferent to many descendants of the Seven Sects and Five Surnames."
The development of this Jisitang has some similarities with the later Qinghong Clan. In fact, many organizations and religions will gradually lose their original direction in the process of development. It will take hundreds of years for descendants to prepare for hundreds of years.
It is indeed a bit difficult to achieve a goal that our ancestors wanted to achieve, and to continue to walk unswervingly on the path they designated. Because people's hearts are willing to change.
Yan Jiu's eyes became strange: "Among the heads of the seven sects and five surnames of that generation, the most powerful and ambitious head wanted to know if it was necessary for him to restore the prestige of several counties nearly two hundred years ago.
And continue to tolerate it, wasting the hard work of generations of his father and ancestors? In these troubled times, if he concentrates the power of the entire Succession Hall, can't he conquer a big world by himself? There is no better way to survive a bloodline than to become a country
Is there a better way for the emperor?"
Yan Jiu continued: "But... the heads of the seven sects and five surnames are not all of the same mind as him. There are still some among them who want to inherit the legacy of their ancestors and continue to hide among the people; some no longer expect to restore the family status of the early Tang Dynasty.
The majesty only wants to continue its huge power with a new identity; some people hope to support an emperor while they continue to live in seclusion behind the scenes. The only person who wants to participate in the fight for the world is the man with great talent and strategy."
Yan Jiu paused for a moment, twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, and then said: "But with only the power of his lineage, the certainty of success is naturally not great. So... he wants to gather the power of the entire 'Ji Si Tang'. However, the seven sects and five surnames
They are all working independently. If we want to integrate the power of the entire 'Successor Hall', we have to find a clever way to kill all the principals of the seven sects and five surnames..."
When Lu Yisheng heard this, he asked in a deep voice: "This talented family leader who wants to be emperor is our father?"
