Did Cheng die of laughter?
When we mention Cheng, we may laugh our heads off, because Lao Cheng in the TV series Storytelling Romance is a lucky man. According to the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, he became the eldest son of heaven in Wagangshan, and according to the Biography of Tang Dynasty, he survived 168 years old, and was an elder of Tang and Five Dynasties (Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Zhi, Wu Zetian and Li Xian). Some people say that Cheng finally died laughing. Is that really the case? Is it a novelist's words to say that you laugh to death, or do dogs eat pancakes? Nonsense, let's take a look at Lao Cheng first? Finally laughing to death? Two versions: First, in her later years, Wu Zetian, who was seriously ill, gave the country back to Li Tang's descendants and was succeeded by her son Li Xian.

At this time, Li Xian defended Xue Guping. It turns out that Xue Jia was hacked by Wu Zetian before. Wu Zetian ordered the soldiers to dig a big pit in front of Fu Xue, buried Xue Jia in the pit, and then poured molten iron on it to close it, meaning that he could never turn over. The name of this grave is Yue? Tiedunfen? . Li Xian who succeeded to the throne restored Xue Jia's reputation and dug it up? Tiedunfen? Faced with this situation, everyone has mixed feelings and is silent. The grievances of the Xue family were finally rehabilitated. There was a sudden burst of laughter behind the dead silence. Cheng, a 168-year-old Lu Guogong, rushed over after learning the news. He was happy that the Xue family was finally flat, laughing all the way, but he died laughing when he approached.

His son Cheng Tieniu was so sad that he lay on the ground and cried? Dad! Why don't you leave? Ho ho? Because Cheng Tieniu was heartbroken, he didn't come up in one breath and had a heart attack with his father. What's the name of this storytelling? The iron cow who cried to death and laughed to death? . Another way of saying this is that when Cheng conquered the Turks, he confronted the enemy generals with tenacity. Cheng was not his opponent, and he lost, and Cheng chased after him.

Seeing that the enemy was about to run farther and farther, Cheng was in a hurry and quickly threw the Xuanhua axe out. Who knew that the axe he dropped flew over and killed the enemy general? Old Cheng couldn't help but be elated and smiled: Axe followed me for so many years, I didn't know this baby had the function of flying, hahaha? Before Cheng finished laughing, he suddenly fell off his horse and died. As can be seen from the above, Cheng died of laughter without any historical basis. In real history, Cheng died of natural causes and lived to 77 years old, instead of 65,438+0,68 years old as described in the novel. He was an elder statesman who assisted the Tang Dynasty in three generations (Li Yuan, Li Shimin and Li Zhi).

Cheng, formerly known as Bite Gold and later renamed Zhijie, was born in Dong 'e, Jeju (now Dongping County, Shandong Province). At the end of Sui Dynasty, Cheng joined the Wagang Rebel Army first, and then the Rebel Army failed and joined Wang. Later, Qin Qiong and Cheng lost their insidious and cunning behavior, so they soon left the King of Qi and went to Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang. It is worth mentioning that Cheng is not a straw bag. According to historical records, Cheng is a good messenger, almost like a pike. In a battle, in order to save Pei Hangyan, the father in the storytelling, Cheng rode back the enemy, immediately held Pei Hangyan who fell off his horse to his side, held him in one hand and rushed out with one hand.

Seeing that he was about to rush out of the encirclement, suddenly an enemy stabbed Cheng with a spear, biting Jin's back, interrupting the spear with a palm, propping him up with half a pike and returning to camp. Pei Hangyan and Cheng turned the corner. You can think about the scene at that time. Can you say that Cheng is an idiot? Cheng is not only skilled in martial arts, but also a general with keen political strategy. When Prince Li tried to murder, Cheng got the news. He went to the Qin Palace to find Li Shimin and said, Your brother is going to kill you, so you should make preparations in advance. There is a saying that the first move is strong, and then the second move is miserable. ? Li Shimin this just moved the change of Xuanwu Gate.

Cheng was then a general of the praetorian guard. In the Xuanwumen coup, he shut the prince's army outside Xuanwumen, and the prince's army could not get in. The Xuanwumen coup was successful. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, Cheng was named as Lu Guogong and General, ranking 19 among the twenty-four outstanding figures in Lingyange, and he was a veritable founding father of the Tang Dynasty. After his death, Cheng Fuzhuo's son Li Zhi. At the age of 60, he was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition, and together with the military adviser Wang, he made the Western Expedition to Turkey. When the West Turkic heard that he had personally led troops to attack, he was scared to abandon the city and flee. Cheng won without fighting.

Maybe cheng is crazy. When he withdrew, he ordered the city to be set on fire. Cheng committed a taboo in the army. Now that the enemy has surrendered and fled the city, it is ominous to kill people at this time. Another thing is that his army staff officer Wang shared the spoils behind Cheng's back. Later, someone tipped off the Emperor Li Zhi. After investigation, Cheng did not participate in the distribution of stolen goods, but he had an unshirkable responsibility for setting fire and losing control of his men. Wang was executed and Cheng was dismissed, which became a stain in his later years. However, five years later, Emperor Li Zhi was re-appointed as Lao Cheng, and he was appointed as the secretariat of qi zhou. Three years later, I volunteered to retire and got the approval of the company. Nine years later, Cheng died at home at the age of 77, and the emperor ordered him to be buried in Zhaoling. In other words, it is a privilege to be buried beside Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong, which is beyond the reach of ordinary courtiers.
