As we all know, there is a charming, handsome and kind Duan Yu, prince of the south king of Dali Town, in Mr. Jin Yong's Eight Dragons. Duan Yu was born in Dali royal family and lived a carefree life since childhood. He doesn't like learning martial arts, and he can't even know the family martial arts "One Yang Finger". Later, Duan Yu got involved in a Wulin dispute. After many disputes, Duan Yu returned to China with the United States and acceded to the throne.
Is there Duan Yu in history? The answer is no, because he was created by Mr. Jin Yong on the basis of historical prototype. Let's take a look at his prototype-Duan Zhengyan, Ren Xuan of Dali.
Duan Zhengyan, also known as Duan, the son of Emperor Wen 'an Duan, was the longest reigning emperor, the 16th emperor and the second emperor in Dali history.
Why post-Dali Kingdom? This should also start with the establishment of Dali. Dali was founded by Duan Siping, the general of Nanzhao. It was 937 AD, and the Central Plains was in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries. No one cares about the regime change in this small southwest country.
Dali has been built, but one problem has been difficult to solve, and that is the problem of weak monarchy. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Duan Siping, he was awarded many heroes, among which the general played an important role and was named Yue Hou. This Hou is not called for nothing. It has great real power and is hereditary.
If this situation is put in the Central Plains, two or three generations will generally be able to tell the winner. Either the emperor shoveled these powerful ministers, or these powerful ministers kicked the emperor and sat down by themselves.
The situation in Dali is a little different. Several families fought against each other, and no one integrated, so the Dali emperor passed it on to more than a dozen people. Finally, the powerful minister Yang felt very powerful, launched a coup, killed Duan Lianyi, the emperor of Dali, and proclaimed himself emperor.
Once the balance is broken, things will become chaotic. Four months later, Yang was destroyed by Gao Shengtai of the Gaos. After this battle, the Gaos gained the real power of Dali, monopolized the state affairs and even abolished the emperor.
After yang pingding, Duan emperor. When the emperor is good. He is diligent and simple, leads the country and loves the people, but he has no right. Gao Shengtai, who was in power, felt that this puppet was not pleasing to the eye and forced him to abdicate to himself in 1094. When Gao Shengtai became emperor, Duan saw through the world of mortals and became a monk.
Gao Shengtai usurped the throne, and the former Dali Kingdom ended. Gao Shengtai also happily changed his country name-"Greater China", which is really arrogant 1 1 century edition. Gao Shengtai has a hard time. The emperor has not finished writing it for two years. One night, after dinner, he suddenly felt dizzy. He thinks it's just a trivial matter. As a result, he stuttered and became quadriplegic the next day, apparently having a stroke.
Dali believes in Buddhism. It is estimated that Gao Shengtai thought that his greed for money led to a stroke, which was the punishment and retribution of the Buddha, so he asked his son Gao Taiming to return the throne to Duan's family before he died.
Gao Taiming is really a good boy. What is the throne? Nothing can compare with my father's words. He listened to his father and put Duan's younger brother Duan on the throne. This is the post-Dali Kingdom.
It seems that Gao Taiming is filial and doesn't love power, but in fact he has changed his medicine, but he has lost the title of emperor, and his political affairs are still controlled by Gao Taiming. Duan is just like his brother. He did not take part in the coup or seize power. He quietly made a marionette at 12. When his son grew up, he resigned and became a monk.
After Duan became a monk, he went on stage.
At this time, Duan Zhengyan was only in her twenties, and she was a rootless duckweed. In order to save his life, he swallowed his words and was careful everywhere.
1 1 16, Gao Taiming died, and his eight sons who were guarding in other places came back to attend the funeral. Duan Zhengyan couldn't help saying that so many bosses with relieving power came, so after the funeral, the emperor invited Gao Taiming's sons to dinner.
Duan Zhengyan meant well, but Gao Taiming's sons didn't appreciate it. One of them, Gao Zhichang, drank too much and told the truth after drinking. He even said to him, "Duan's family is great for the emperor." If I don't take care of the Gaos, my master will be a ghost under the cliff. Now that the emperor is mine, my father listened to my grandfather and gave way to Duan. Duan became emperor, and I won't accept you. "
If this outrageous behavior happens in a country where the emperor has power, the nine clansmen will be wiped out. But what can Duan Zhengyan do in Dali? Gao's eight sons each have a fief army!
But he is not helpless. After Gao Taiming's death, in order to fight for power, there was a faint crack between the brothers. Duan Zhengyan is hard to kill, but he can be exiled, so he sent Gao Zhichang to Cheng Nan. As a result, Gao Zhichang was cruel and weak, and he died in exile six months later.
Duan Zhengyan wanted to fly over when he heard the news, and the relationship between the Gaos thought brothers and Gao Zhichang has been very good. In case they show up, they will be in big trouble. In order to avoid getting into trouble, he paid for Gao's family, but at the same time he wanted to bury the matter.
I didn't expect Gao Zhichang to be very popular. Two of his men were very loyal and determined to avenge their master, so they found an opportunity to assassinate Duan Zhengyan. Fortunately, the two men were not the owners, but they were captured alive by the guards around Duan Zhengyan.
The two men admitted the assassination, but Duan Zhengyan either dared not kill them or felt his loyalty, so he let them go. The assassin didn't go, but committed suicide, quite a bit aristocratic spirit of assassins in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, Duan Zhengyan built a tomb of justice for them.
During his 39 years in power, Duan Zhengyan basically had no power, but he made some progress. After Gao Taiming's death, he changed from having no power at all to having a little power, but this kind of power is insignificant to the Gaos. Although diligent in political affairs, loving the people and sages, thinking about taking power, being good at governing the country and neglecting taxes have won the support of the people, it cannot change the situation of high dictatorship.
In Duan Zhengyan's later years, civil strife occurred frequently. In order to compete for the power of Dali, they turned their attention to Duan Zhengyan's sons. After all, there is only one Duan Zhengyan, but his sons have eight. It is really the best choice to have a spare tire.
With the intervention of Gaos thought, Duan Zhengyan couldn't step in. He didn't want to see his sons in the same room, but there was nothing he could do. In desperation, he passed it on to Duan Zhengxing, and then embarked on his father's old path-abdicating and becoming a monk, never asking the world of mortals again.
After becoming a monk, Duan Zhengyan no longer needs to work hard for national affairs, especially those useless things. He can relax and do what he likes. He loved painting and playing the piano, and finally died at the age of 94.
Another question is very important. Queen Duan Zhengyan is also surnamed Wang. I wonder what it has to do with Wang Yuyan. Unlike novels, Duan Zhengyan doesn't hate martial arts. On the contrary, he liked swords since he was a child. At the age of seven, he began to learn martial arts from master Liu Xuan.
Master Liu Xuan is knowledgeable and skilled, just like Zhou Dong (Yue Fei's archery master) in Song Dynasty. As his disciple, Duan Zhengyan's martial arts is not too bad. Of course, from a distance, the six-pulse Excalibur should not be.
