Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

In Bianjing, Zhao Kuangyin was relieved to see that the stone table that was moved indoors still showed strange phenomena.

It was very cold outside at this time, and although he was not very afraid of the cold due to his strong body, it was still not as comfortable as watching it indoors with a heater.

Compared with Zhao Kuangyin's comfort, Zhao Pu on the side was really surprised.

However, this prime minister has been in high officialdom, and his ambition is far from what he was when he was young. Now he was just shocked when he saw this, and then he kept trying to touch it with his hands, showing great interest.

Looking at Zhao Pu again, Zhao Kuangyin said with an amiable expression:

This magical secret is of great importance, Guangyi might as well write it down in writing.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the low table next to the stone table, which was fully equipped with pens, papers, and inkstones.

Then he glanced aggrievedly at Zhao Pu who was still at the stone table, and could only say Hey reluctantly and start copying at the desk.

The sound of wind and snow outside became louder and louder, and Zhao Pu, who lowered his head, had an unclear look in his eyes.

…

Li Shimin's question on the light screen made Liu Bei's face stiffen, and then he felt a little aggrieved:

It has only been four years since the 14th year of Jian'an to the 18th year of Jian'an. Does the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty think that we are all gods?

The piece of paper that had been written in his hand was refolded by Liu Bei and placed on the table.

The fourteenth year of Jian'an was the time when he saw the light curtain for the first time. At that time, he was in the Public Security Bureau. Although he claimed to have the land of the four counties of Jingnan, his family knew about his own affairs, and he had no money for soldiers, food, and wealth. Nothing is left to spare.

Four years later, Liu Bei felt that he was now living in Chang'an to announce the good news...

Forget it, Tang Huang's standards are still too high.

That's not right. It should be said that Emperor Tang thought everyone was the same as him?

Still wrong, it should be said that Emperor Tang seems to think that Kong Ming should have this ability...

Liu Bei fell into a strange tangle.

Kong Ming, who was next to him, didn't care about this at all. He just saw the younger generation jokingly saying what about that on the light screen. Kong Ming was suspicious, why couldn't he explain this clearly?

In his heart, Kong Ming also vaguely realized that the once prosperous Han Chang'an might have a side that he was not aware of before.

The prosperous old Chang'an was relatively unfamiliar to everyone in the hall at this time. After all, they were all unsuccessful before the troubled times came. Who would come to Chang'an for nothing...

Even Fazheng, who was the closest, had already declined in family status at that time.

…

Li Shimin in the Manna Hall no longer felt as excited as before.

The four words Wu Zhou Dai Tang gave Li Shimin a slap in the face, and the four words Dirty Tang Smelly Han also stunned him.

Empress Wu replaced the Zhou Dynasty with the Tang Dynasty. This is a meaning that can be easily interpreted, and it is difficult to find any ambiguity.

Even though Li Shimin felt that his endurance was much stronger now, he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

His talented person, his son's queen, and the lord of Zhou in the Tang Dynasty.

This complicated relationship made Li Shimin not know how to scold him, and in the end he could only look at the four dirty men in a daze.

Then thinking about the extraordinary actions of the princesses of the Tang Dynasty that he had seen before, Li Shimin actually had a little sense of identity with these four words.

However, I always hear younger generations lamenting the oppression of women in the Tang Dynasty... Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is a lesson?

Losing his previous interest, Li Shimin sat back on the couch and looked at the light screen in a daze, feeling that this was not the first time this happened.

He didn't want to hear this topic. He wanted to hear how Wu Zhou replaced the Tang Dynasty and how he restored the Tang Dynasty in the end.

It's just that future generations will not tell the story at their own pace as he thought.

[Now we all know that the troubled times in ancient times often focused on multiple fronts advancing simultaneously.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters occur simultaneously. The Three Kingdoms era was considered a relatively important period of troubled times, and naturally it could not escape this law.

In 217 AD, Boss Cao, who wanted to claim the title of King of Wei, went south to conquer Sun Quan, and was delighted to receive a letter of surrender from Shi Wan Ge. So he returned to Xian Emperor with great satisfaction to express his merits, and successfully revealed the twelve crowns and the six-gold chariot. , the five-hour auxiliary car, these golden equipment have almost completed the usurpation of power in form and fact.

On the way back, something happened: Wang Can, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, died of illness.

At Wang Can's funeral, Cao Pi said that Wang Can liked the donkey's braying the most during his lifetime, so he might as well make a sound to send him off, and took the lead in imitating the donkey's braying.

This incident has also become one of the most famous things that reflects Cao Pi's character. We have briefly talked about the life of this Emperor Wen before, and we can summarize it with the most classic poem of the poet Li Bai:

If you are proud of life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon.

Cao Pi's carpe diem mentality largely caused the nobles to form extravagant and dissolute living habits, which eventually extended to the Jin Dynasty, and thus pushed the wealthy families into the abyss.

But if linked to the specific era, Cao Pi's various dissolute behaviors may have a very reasonable explanation.

In the year when Cao Pi learned how to bray a donkey, Chen Lin, Xu Qian, Ying Jue, and Liu Zhen died in the same year as Wang Can. These four people were ranked as the seventh son of Jian'an with Wang Can.

As for the other two Jian'an Seven Sons, Kong Rong was killed by Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi, and Ruan Yu died early. Therefore, in 217, the Jian'an Seven Sons were completely destroyed.

What caused them to die together was the epidemic, and in fact this was not the first outbreak of the epidemic.

According to historical records, from the time Emperor Ling succeeded to the throne to Cao's usurpation of Han Dynasty, the epidemic broke out on a large scale in 171, 173, 179, 182, 185, and 217 respectively, and the history books called it the Great Epidemic.

According to historical records, the epidemic that wiped out the Seven Sons of Jian'an in 217 was the most severe.

Many years later, Cao Zhi was still frightened when he recalled this year, and wrote Talking About the Epidemic to record his experiences.

Every family is feeling the pain of zombies, and every room is crying and mourning. Some people die with their doors closed, or they die after their families are overthrown.

Looking back at history, epidemics can often influence and change history in all aspects, and 217 is no exception.

The epidemic began at the Ruxukou battlefield at that time, and as Sun Quan handed over the troops, Cao's army became the best spreader of the epidemic.

As a result, the epidemic area spread across the north and south, and broke out on a large scale in Yecheng, causing all the seven sons of Jian'an to contract the disease and die.

Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang also died of an illness because he went to deliver medicine to the soldiers.

As for Sun Quan, 45-year-old Lu Su and 28-year-old Ling Tong both died suddenly this year. It is difficult not to make people wonder whether their deaths were also related to the epidemic.

After the death of Lu Su, who was in his prime, Lü Meng, who advocated back-attacking his allies, successfully came to power, and two years later he planned to cross the river in white clothes, allowing Cao Cao to reap the benefits.

However, in troubled times, wars and epidemics often go hand in hand. After Lu Meng attacked Guan Yu, an epidemic broke out in Jingzhou, which was under Jiangdong's control. Lu Meng, Jiang Qin, and Sun Jiao, who were guarding Jingzhou in Jiangdong, all died suddenly in their prime. , there is also a high probability of dying from the plague.

It's no wonder that the Ming Dynasty created the scene where Lu Meng was killed by Guan Yu's ghost. If we only look at the epidemic, there really is only a small amount of causality. 】
