Than blood?Who in China doesn't have an awesome ancestor?

Page 213

Li Tang's royal family has no blood relationship with Lao Tzu.

Hearing the news, Li Shuhua couldn't sit still immediately, and hopped to find Su Chen.

"Mr. Su, didn't you say before that Lao Tzu is the ancestor of Li Tang's royal family?"

"How could there be no blood connection between the two of them?"

"Could you be mistaken?"

Li Shuhua naturally attached great importance to the matter of Li's ancestors.

Su Chen was not in a hurry to answer, he thought for a long time before speaking.

"As far as I know, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the great ancestor Li Yuan recognized Lao Tzu as his ancestor, and Lao Tzu naturally became the ancestor of the Li and Tang royal family."

"And when Emperor Taizong came, he completely confirmed Lao Tzu's status as the ancestor of the surname Li."

"I didn't think about it carefully before, but now that I think about it, it's not difficult to explain."

Li Shuhua's eyes widened and he asked hastily.

"What do you mean?"

Su Chen hesitated and said.

"According to legend, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a folk song that the descendants of the old gentleman, Li will be the emperor."

"In the period of Emperor Sui Yang, Li Hun and Li Min were exterminated because of this."

"And if Li Yuan wants to conquer the world and conquer the world, he naturally needs a name. If he becomes a descendant of Laojun, he will be famous."

"And in ancient China, people were very particular about family background."

"People in the world at that time regarded the difference between the noble family and the poor family very seriously!"

"Although the Li family is also a clan of the Guanlong family, their family is not big and their status is not high, so they cannot be compared with those real wealthy families."

"As the saying goes, if the name is not right and the words are not right, even if you become the emperor, you may not be able to convince the public."

"So, after Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, the first thing he did was to recognize Lao Tzu as his ancestor."

"After Li Shimin came to the throne, he also regarded Lao Tzu as the ancestor of the Li family."

"During the period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Lao Tzu was posthumously named Emperor Xuanyuan of the Supreme Being."

"Thinking about it now, the reason why they did this should be to give Li Tang a good background so as to stabilize the imperial power."

"After all, Lao Tzu was quite famous among the people at that time."

"In Taoism, he is also regarded as the Supreme Lord."

"Having such an ancestor solves Li Tang's family problems."

"Moreover, there has been a thousand years of separation between Li Tang and Lao Tzu."

"Whether the two are really connected by blood is not their own decision."

Chapter 188 A Million Superposition Awakened

After listening to Su Chen's explanation, Li Shuhua was speechless.

Although before, he only studied the history of the Qing Dynasty.

But I also understand how important the gate was to the ancients.

Even the Qing people were divided into Eight Banners.

Among them, Zhenghuang, Xianghuang and Zhengbai are called the upper three banners, with the highest status.

Although Li Tang's royal family has captured the world, if they want to secure the throne, they really need to find a good background for themselves.

And history has always been written by the victors.

Whoever the royal family recognizes as the ancestor, that is who it is.

As for the authenticity, no one cares.

Li Shuhua sighed, thought for a while and asked again.

"Even if Laozi has no blood relationship with Emperor Taizong."

"But as the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong should have quite a few heirs, right?"

"It has been passed down to the present, at least it should be more than a million people?"

Su Chen thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"As far as I know, Li Shimin has a total of 35 heirs, including 14 sons and 21 daughters."

"Among the royal families of all dynasties, although they are not too many, they are not too few."

"But in the fourth year of Chuigong, the number of Li and Tang royal families began to decline sharply."

"Of Li Shimin's 14 sons, only two are still alive."

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were feudal vassals and towns outside, and eunuchs chaotic politics inside."

"Huang Chao took the opportunity to revolt and invaded Chang'an, bringing golden armor all over the city!

"And there is a man named Zhu Wen who was originally Huang Chao's subordinate."

"After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen joined the Tang army and began to crusade against the Huang Chao army."

"In less than a year, Huang Chaojun was driven out of Chang'an." ..

"At that time, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty was overjoyed, and made Zhu Wen the governor of Bianzhou and the envoy of the Xuanwu Army."

"And gave him a new name, Zhu Quanzhong."

"But this Zhu Quanzhong is not loyal at all."

"After Tang Xizong died of illness, his younger brother Tang Zhaozong came to the throne."

"But in the face of the dilapidated dynasty, Tang Zhaozong was powerless and became a puppet emperor."

"As for Zhu Wen, at that time he had already become the number one warlord in the Tang Dynasty."

"In order to better control Tang Zhaozong, Zhu Wen forced Zhaozong to move his capital to Luoyang."

"Before moving the capital, all the palaces, government offices, and temples in Chang'an City were demolished by Zhu Wen."

"Turn Chang'an City, which the world longs for, into ruins!"

"After the vassal kings from all over the country learned about it, they joined forces to attack Zhu Wen in the name of King Qin's rescue."

"After Zhu Wen learned about it, he simply killed Tang Zhaozong, and then made Li Hao, the second son of Zhaozong, the emperor, known as Emperor Ai of Tang Dynasty in history."

"However, after only one year, Zhu Wen forced Zhaozong's nine sons to come in the name of a banquet."

"During the banquet, Zhu Wen strangled all the nine princes to death to cut off the threat of Li Tang's royal blood!"

"Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jue, who was supported by Zhu Wen, was also deposed a few years later and killed by poison."

"So far, the blood of Li Tang's royal family has almost been cut off."

"what?!"

After listening to Su Chen's words, Li Shuhua's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it for a long time.

Although he already knew about the chaos at the end of Tang Dynasty.

But I never thought that the fate of Li Tang's royal family would be so miserable!

Back then, Emperor Taizong was regarded as the Khan of Heaven!

All nations come to court, and all directions come to worship, what a majesty it is!

However, his bloodline was almost cut off!

Seeing Li Shuhua's expression, Su Chen couldn't help sighing.

"My Chinese dynasties have had their ups and downs."

"Even Datang is no exception."

"And every downfall of a dynasty is bound to be accompanied by bloody massacres."

Having said that, Su Chen patted Li Shuhua on the shoulder.

"But you don't have to be too sad."

"When the Ming Dynasty fell, the Qing army cleaned it up for many years, but it was not the same as it was passed down by descendants."

"Although Zhu Wen killed all the heirs of Li Tang's royal family, by the time he usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it would have been two hundred years since the Tang Dynasty enjoyed the country."

"Even if the blood of the royal family is cut off, there must be some descendants of Emperor Taizong's blood scattered among the people."

Speaking of this, Su Chen didn't keep it up, and said directly.

"I checked before."

"The number of descendants who have the blood of Emperor Taizong is about 30."

30……

Li Shuhua recited the numbers silently, and let out another long sigh.

Lao Tzu left only one son, and he has 50 descendants.

The majestic Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but only 30!

But Li Shuhua also understands that this is the fate of the royal children.

Being born in the royal family is not only rich and prosperous, but also full of crises.

Once the dynasty falls, they are the first to be purged.

This is not only the case with Datang.
