Brief introduction and life of the warrior Lan Ling?
First, the ambiguous life story \x0d\ Warrior Lan Ling's father is Gao Cheng, the eldest son of Gao Huan, the emperor of SHEN WOO, the high-impedance of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but his mother doesn't even have a surname, which makes his life story confusing. "The Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty" contains: "The King of Wu in Lanling worked as a filial piety _, the fourth son of Wen Xiang." There are six men in Wen Xiang: "Empress Wen Jingyuan gave birth to Wang Xiaowan in Hejian, Wang Xiaoyu in Henan gave birth to Song, and Wang gave birth to Guangning. The warrior Lanling can't take his mother's surname, Chen gave birth to Wang Yanzong and Yan gave birth to Shao Xin." Among the six brothers, King Andrew's mother, Chen, is called "the prostitute of the king" in the history books, but her surname is still known. Only the mother of the soldier Lanling has no surname and doesn't know who it is. From this, people infer that the identity and status of the mother of the warrior Lan Ling, I am afraid, is even worse than that of an official prostitute, and it is likely to be just a humble and nameless maid-in-waiting in the palace. In this way, in the gentry era, the warrior Lan Ling was embarrassed, although he was the belly and grandson of the emperor. His "inexplicable" status has brought him great pressure. Endure others' contemptuous eyes and live humbly every day, which may be his childhood life. \x0d\ 2。 The mask of soft and ferocious appearance \x0d\ Beiqi Shu and Beishi said that he was "soft on the outside and firm on the inside, full of sound and emotion"; In "The Monument to the Bell of My King in Lanling", he said "cool and colorful"; In the book Old Tangqu, he said that he was "both talented and beautiful"; In the story of Sui and Tang Dynasties, he was described as a "beauty in white". It can be seen that the beauty of the warrior Lanling is really unparalleled and extraordinary. He has a handsome appearance that ordinary men do not have. Later generations suspected that his beauty might come from his humble mother. If it weren't for my mother's amazing appearance, how could it attract the blessing of my father, who is far from the same position and is expensive for the emperor's stomach? \x0d\ However, the beauty of the warrior Lan Ling brought him great distress. In the era of the separatist regime in that place, in the era of years of war in that place, as the children of princes and princes, they have to be tested by war every moment. Because of his handsome appearance, he is often despised by his opponents when he fights with them on the battlefield. To this end, he had to order people to make some hideous "big faces" and wear them on their faces every time they went out to achieve the purpose of deterring their opponents. "The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty" says: "The generation came from the Northern Qi Dynasty. Lan Ling, a warrior in the Northern Qi Dynasty, is respectful, brave and beautiful, and often wears a mask to face the enemy. I tried to attack Zhou Shi Jin Yong at the gates, bravely crowned the three armed forces and strengthened the people. So I danced to make his command effective. This is called "Warrior Lan Ling enters the array". "Yuefu Miscellanies" drum rack said: "There are generations, which began in the Northern Qi Dynasty. The SHEN WOO brothers are brave and good at fighting. He wore a mask every time he went to war, but he won in the end. Performers wear purple waist and gold whip. In the Tang Dynasty, Cui's Jiao Fangji said: "The big noodles came from the northern Qi Dynasty." . The soldier Lan Ling is respectful and brave, but she looks like a woman. She felt that she was not enough to threaten the enemy, so she carved a mask and chickened out because the play was also a song. "Thus, LanLing warrior often go out with a ferocious mask, not hearsay, nor groundless. Later, the appearance of "facial makeup" in Beijing opera may be related to the influence of "Mask of Lanling Warriors" and dance music "Lanling Warriors Ensemble". \x0d\ III。 Courage and Fame \x0d\ According to historical records, the warrior of Lanling was a great soldier with both military and political abilities and wisdom and courage in the Northern Dynasties. Some people say that he is "brave and good at fighting", while others say that he is "brave and invincible in the three armed forces." This shows that his bravery is not only because he wears a ferocious mask. Threats alone will certainly not scare off the enemy. The key is that he has his own fighting skills beyond ordinary people. The ferocious mask only adds a legendary aura to his bravery and invincibility. The warrior Lan Ling participated in numerous battles, big and small, in his life. One of them is the famous Mangshan War in history. In 564 AD, the Turks in the northern grassland and the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Loess Plateau attacked the Northern Qi Dynasty. Luoyang, an important town in the Northern Qi Dynasty, was besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Northern Qi hurriedly mobilized troops to clear the way. Outside Luoyang, the Northern Qi reinforcements attacked again and again, and they were all defeated by the Northern Zhou army, and the whole army was about to collapse. At this time, the soldier Lan Ling, who was appointed as General Zhong Jun, was dressed in "bedding face", armor and a sword in his hand. He led 500 cavalry, bravely entered the encirclement of Zhou Jun, and reached Luoyang at the gates. The Beiqi army guarding the city was trapped for many days and dared not open the door rashly. The soldier Lan Ling took off his mask, and the Beiqi army in the city immediately cheered, opened the gate, and joined forces with the army outside the city to bravely kill the defeated Zhou Jun. "The Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty" records: "When Mangshan was defeated, the long-term workers were the Central Army, and 500 soldiers were led to ride on Zhou Jun, and then they were besieged by Jin Yong. The people in the city were very knowledgeable. The long-term workers avoided showing their faces, but they were saved by the crossbowman, so they won a great victory. Samurai ballad is Samurai Lanling Entering the Array. There is also a record in the history books: Zhou Jun "abandoned the camp and left, from Mangshan to 30 miles, military equipment, full of Sichuan and Ze. "It was this triumph that made the Lanling Heroes famous, and the Emperor of Beiqi added him as a minister. \x0d\ Warrior Lan Ling is not only brave and good at fighting, but also has outstanding achievements. He was loyal to things and was widely known by soldiers and society at that time. According to the Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was "diligent and meticulous, and every time he tasted the sweetness, although he counted a few fruits, he would compete with the soldiers". As a relative of the troubled times dynasty, it is really rare to share joys and sorrows with soldiers without shelves. Even for his "political enemies", he can be lenient. According to historical records, the long-term worker joined the army when he was in Yingzhou. Yang accused him of taking bribes and bending the law, and the long-term worker was dismissed. When Gao Changgong made a comeback and led troops to attack Ding Yang, Shenyang was executing orders in Gao Changgong's camp, so he was very afraid that Gao Changgong would take the opportunity to retaliate and kill himself. Therefore, Gao Changgong comforted him and said, "I didn't mean to. Yang saw that his heart was not practical and he had to ask for punishment. Gao Changgong had to make a small mistake and hit Yang Erban so that he could settle down. The Book of Northern Qi also recorded a very touching detail of his "civilian". When he went to court, he said that "all the servants who followed him were scattered, and only the long-term workers returned alone." Afterwards, Gao Changgong was able to shrug off, "no punishment". It can be seen that he is very generous and kind to his servants. In the crazy era of Northern Qi Dynasty, when people were "not treated as human beings" and beheaded and killed at every turn, his generous and kind side was unique, exuding warm human brilliance and making people admire him. \x0d\ IV。 A tragic fate \x0d\ is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. If you work hard, you will cover the Lord, and disaster will fall from the sky. The pinnacle of life glory may often be the starting point of tragedy. For the warrior Lan Ling, the biggest sorrow is that he was born into a crazy, almost abnormal royal family. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, in just 28 years, there have been six emperors in the Northern Dynasties. It's terrible that uncles torture each other and brothers kill each other. One is shorter than the other, and one is crazier than the other. Although the warrior Lan Ling has a soft appearance, outstanding military exploits, and has been careful all his life, he has tried his best to avoid disasters and protect himself, but he still can't change his tragic fate. \x0d "The Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty" contains: Lise Zhou Mu, a long-term worker, is in Qingying two states, and the goods are quite abundant. "People who pay bribes often go in and out at the door, which makes people make irresponsible remarks. But what is the purpose of the greedy people's money is unknown. According to himself, this is to tarnish his reputation and avoid the jealousy of the court. After Mangshan won a great victory, Wu Cheng gave him 20 beautiful concubines, but he was "just one of them" because he was afraid of being too ostentatious and jealous. He also said: the long-term worker "has a thousand dollars to pay for it, and he will burn it on the day he dies." "That is to say, before he died, he burned all the IOUs owed to him by others. Judging from his character in dealing with people, he is generous and kind, unlike a greedy and lecherous person. Many historians believe that Gao Changgong was deliberately greedy for money and polluted himself in order to avoid disaster. \x0d\ The book of the Northern Qi Dynasty says: It belongs to Wei Xiangyuan, and it says, "Since the king was sent by the DPRK, why was he greedy?" Chang Hong didn't answer. Xiang Xiang said, "The great victory of Mangshan is a fear of jealousy, and it is not right to defile it." Chang Hong said, "Of course. "Xiang Yuan said:" If the imperial court is jealous of the king, it is easy to punish here, and it is quick to seek happiness. "Dragon Palace tears, please take care of your knees. Xiang Yuan said, "Wang Wei has a great reputation. He'd better stay at home and get sick. Don't interfere in political affairs. "Living in such a horrible royal family, you can't be nervous. Since then, whenever a long-term worker encounters a war, he refuses to get sick. Deliberately "not treating diseases" in order to avoid disasters. Once, Jianghuai was disturbed and the military affairs were in an emergency. He didn't dare to worship the general again, but he felt sorry for himself: "I was swollen last year, why didn't I send it today?" "I really want to fight my face and pretend to be a patient. \x0d\ Gao Wei, the late ruler of Northern Qi Dynasty, was weak in character. Compared with his ancestors, Gao Wei is more dissolute and less cruel, but he is not soft when he kills his relatives. One day in 565 AD, when Gao Wei talked with the warrior Lan Ling about the victory of Mangshan, he said, "It's too late to regret going into the war. "LanLing warrior heard brother so love yourself, excited and enthusiastic. He replied affectionately: "My family is good, but I don't feel it. "It was this expression of intimacy and loyalty that led to his death. The history book says, "The emperor disliked family matters, so he avoided them. "Because in the narrow-minded ruler Gao Wei's view, family affairs are my Gao Wei, not what you say casually. I began to wonder whether the warrior Lan Ling, who has the military power, wants to replace it and turn "state affairs" into "family affairs". \x0d\ After the soldier Lan Ling said something wrong, he was deeply troubled and worried all day. Although he has repeatedly kept a low profile and deliberately played down himself, he can't escape the tragic fate of "if you tell me to die, I have to die". One day in May in the fourth year of Wuping (AD 573), the late Lord Gao Wei sent an envoy to visit his brother Gao Su, and the gift was a glass of poisoned wine. The warrior Lan Ling was so angry that he said to his beloved Princess Zheng, "I am loyal to my work, and I am embarrassed by heaven!" Zheng Fei advised him, "Why don't you ask God?" Naive Zheng Fei thought it might just be a misunderstanding between brothers. As long as Gao Su intercedes with the emperor, he can get his own life back. And the warrior Lan Ling himself knows that it is useless to find a backward master to explain. A year ago, Hu Luguang, a etiquette veteran who fought bravely with himself, was also innocently lured into the palace and brutally strangled with a bowstring. In despair, the soldier Lan Ling left a sentence, "How can you see the beauty of heaven?" So he gulped it down and resolutely left this messy world. At that time, the warrior Lan Ling was only 30 years old and was buried in the capital city of Yexi (now Linzhang County, Handan) after his death. The killing of the military commander Lan Ling marked the end of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Four years later, the Northern Qi Dynasty, which lost its military pillar, was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Emperor Yuwen Jue, and almost all the descendants of Gao were slaughtered.
