In the film and television images, Jiang Taigong is the apprentice of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, holding a whip, wearing an apricot yellow flag, and carrying a four different look on his feet. He is dressed and dressed with the style of being an immortal. He came down to the world according to heaven's order to destroy the business and prosper the Zhou Dynasty.
However, mythology is a myth after all. In history, Jiang Taigong was just a mortal. He had great talent. In his early years, he was depressed and failed to succeed. In his later years, he showed his ambition and made his way to Qishan. In our current words, it's an old loser's turn over.
Throughout Jiang Taigong's life, he was a general and a prime minister. He successively assisted four emperors, namely King Wen, King Wu, King Cheng and King Kang, to open up territory and build up a country, to calm down civil strife and assist politics. It can be said that he devoted himself to his death and was highly praised by emperors and historians.
Between the monarch and the minister, there are many people who share difficulties and few people who share wealth. According to historical records, King Wu conquered Zhou and established immortality. Unfortunately, his life span was not long. He fell ill and died less than a year after he ascended the throne. The ancients said that "kings, Marquises and generals would rather have seeds." the Shang Dynasty destroyed Xia Jianguo, and the Zhou Dynasty destroyed Shang. Jiang Taigong had soldiers and horses, and was famous. Why didn't he take the opportunity to become king himself?
Some people must say that Jiang Taigong, an old Taoist, has no son, no daughter and no wife. Even if he usurps power and seizes the throne, there will be no successor after a hundred years. Why not!
In fact, Jiang Taigong has a wife and children! That's right. In the romance of the gods, Ma Shi, the eldest leftover girl, soon fell in love with Jiang, who is white haired and poor. Ma Shi's prototype is Shen Jiang, Jiang Taigong's wife. She gave birth to a son and a daughter to Jiang Taigong before she was invited down.
i
Their eldest son, named LV Chen, attacked the Marquis and became the king of Qi. That is to say, there are descendants to inherit Jiang Taigong's family business. Since he has a son, why doesn't Jiang Taigong seize the opportunity to become emperor himself? After working hard for half his life, he has to bow down to a young man and become a minister in the end?
There are two reasons. The first, of course, is the kindness of King Wen of Zhou. Second, there is another layer of relationship between the two families: in laws. Yijiang, the wife of King Wu Jifa, is the daughter of Jiang Taigong and the mother of King Zhou Chengwang. In other words, King Wu of Zhou, son-in-law of Jiang Taigong, King Cheng of Zhou, grandson of Jiang Taigong, King Kang of Zhou, great grandson of Jiang Taigong.
So, can the father-in-law help the son-in-law, the grandfather help the grandson, and the grandfather help the great grandson?
Some people have doubts again. When Jiang Taigong made his fortune and met King Wen of Zhou, he was already in his seventies and eighties. His daughter, at least thirty or forty years old, had been a child in ancient times. How could he marry King Wu as Queen? In this historical book, there is no record of the appearance and age of Yi Jiang, but only from the perspective of virtuous people.
It is said that when Yijiang was pregnant with his eldest son, he stood upright and sat upright. He didn't make a lot of noise when he was joking and didn't curse when he was angry. "To stand without hesitation, to sit without difference, to be alone without hesitation, and to be angry without swearing are also called prenatal education." These are easy to look at, but difficult to do.
We all know that pregnant women are the most sensitive. They can't be touched. Yijiang can do these things. It can be said that his family education is very good. In addition, he has a father who has made great contributions. Even if he is an older leftover girl, he is stable in the back.
