Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Chapter 1426 Postscript: Their ordinary but shining life

Li Ke looked at the introduction here. There wasn't much about Liu Shan and An Ying. It was just a general introduction. After reading it with his assistant, Li Ke got into the car outside. Li Ke directly asked the car to help search. Got some news about the two of them.

"Mr. Liu Shan and Ms. An Ying are members of the Shengzong Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty. Ms. An Ying came from a poor and humble background. She was from Goulan. She was originally an unregistered household in the Tang Dynasty, that is, a lowly registered household."

"Later, due to Shengzong's reform of the Tang Dynasty, the entire Tang Dynasty canceled non-registered households and everyone turned to registered households, and Shengzong began to highly develop the cultural and literary undertakings of the Tang Dynasty, including the earliest stage plays, dramas, shadow puppets and other arts All performance forms come from this period."

"Because the girls who were originally from brothels were all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, so the earliest batch of performers came from these brothels and girls."

"For example, the imperial concubine Yang Anning and others were born in brothels."

"Ms. An Ying was the first to star in "The Prostitute," a stage play written by Shengzong himself. The song "Chi Ling" that has been passed down for thousands of years came from this stage play."

"And Ms. An Ying was the actress in the first "Prostitute" stage play. After Ms. An Ying performed, she no longer had to sell her body to make a living."

"During Ms. An Ying's performance, Mr. Liu Shan, who was a member of the security army reformed by veterans of the Tang Dynasty, fell in love with Ms. An Ying during a performance."

"In the Tang Dynasty at that time, these Goulan girls may have had countless potential guests when they were young, but no one was willing to marry them home."

"Their lives were miserable in their later years. After Ms. An Ying met Mr. Liu Shan, with the help of the Holy Sect, Mr. Liu Shan made his own choice. He was willing to marry Ms. An Ying."

"Then the two of them, under the arrangement of Shengzong, fled away from home and returned to today's Shandong Prefecture of Datang. They settled down in a county near Weihai. No one knew them here, but Mr. Liu Shan continued his work as a security force. .”

"In the rest of their lives, the two never left this small town, but this was also the beginning of their legend. After they got married, they had two sons. According to the memories of Academician Liu Qiang in his later years, when he was six years old, one morning, Ms. An Ying, his mother, who opened a fabric shop at the time, encountered an abandoned baby girl when she went out."

"Thinking of what she had experienced, Ms. An Ying took the baby girl back without hesitation, and this baby girl was Ms. Liu Yun, an academician of the Datang Academy of Sciences in the future."

"It was precisely because of Ms. Liu Yun's participation that the adoption of abandoned orphans officially entered the lives of Liu Shan and An Ying."

"Although the Tang Dynasty had a welfare home system at that time, the abandonment of babies, especially female babies, was still prohibited. Many people even did not dare to send their children to welfare homes for fear of being punished by the court."

"In the second half of their lives, Liu Shan and An Ying adopted a total of 27 orphans, including seven boys and 29 girls. Counting their two biological children, they had a total of [-] children."

"But among these 29 children, eleven scientists were trained for Datang, including seven academicians and eight outstanding patriotic businessmen."

"According to Academician Liu Qiang's memoirs, when he and his brother were very young, he also secretly resented his father and mother because they adopted too many orphans, and their family's life was not good. It could be said that they were very poor."

"Both my father and mother are reluctant to wear good clothes, but their more than 20 brothers and sisters have never gone hungry, and they still have new clothes to wear every year."

"Liu Shan and An Ying not only take care of these adopted children as if they were their own children, but also take good care of them. All the children have never fallen behind in their studies. Ms. An Ying has devoted her whole life to teaching them."

"Among these children, Academician Liu Qiang said, there are several younger brothers and sisters who are disabled, but their father and mother have never disliked them. One younger brother was born with cerebral palsy, has severe intellectual disabilities, and has an IQ of only about three years old. "

"But Ms. An Ying took care of him until he was 23 years old, until he died of illness."

"Academician Liu Qiang recalled that when his younger brother died, he was smiling. When he was about to die, he also said to Ms. An Ying, Mom, don't cry, I don't feel any pain. The most common thing he said was Mom, don’t cry.”

"Ms. An Ying spent all her efforts raising their 29 brothers and sisters. She died at the age of 69, and Mr. Liu Shan also died the next year."

"When they died, the youngest adopted child was only eight years old. It was Academician Liu Qiang who took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings and raised them all."

"The lives of their father and mother had a great impact on Academician Liu Qiang and others. They said that even when the family was in the most difficult times, their father and mother never complained, and the couple never quarreled over the difficult life of adopting a child. , blushed."

"But what Academician Liu Qiang said was actually somewhat wrong, because we later learned from Academician Liu Yun's memoirs that Mr. Liu Shan and Ms. An Ying had a quarrel, and Ms. An Ying had a serious illness when she was 65 years old."

"When he was ill that time, Mr. Liu Shan wanted to go see His Majesty Shengzong, because Ms. An Ying knew Shengzong. As long as they asked, I believe Ms. An Ying would get the best care, even if they asked for Queen Li Yan. Or Yang Anning, Yang Li and other noble concubines, they can all be well taken care of."

"But Ms. An Ying rejected Mr. Liu Shan's proposal. The two had a quarrel because of this, and Mr. Liu Shan finally compromised."

"Academician Liu Yun said that she happened to overhear the conversation between the two outside the door. The sentence she remembered most clearly was that her mother said that your Majesty saved countless people of the Tang Dynasty in his life, and countless people of the Tang Dynasty lived because of him. Likewise, So do we. If it weren't for Your Majesty, she might have died of illness at the age of 45."

"Your Majesty will definitely help if you ask for your Majesty's help, but Your Majesty is the Majesty of the people of the entire Tang Dynasty, and they should not cause more trouble for Your Majesty. What's more, birth, old age, illness and death are natural human beings, and her age has already It’s big, and when it’s time to leave, just leave.”

"Ms. An Ying was very calm when she said this. She said that it was precisely because of her mother's strength that she gave her unprecedented strength and allowed her to make unprecedented contributions in the field of chemistry."
