i.A generation of military generals who are brave and good at fighting.
Qiu Xinggong was born in a military family: his grandfather was a famous general of the Western Wei Dynasty, and his father was the Taishou of Jiaozhi of the Sui Dynasty. As a descendant of the Xianbei clan, Qiu Xinggong has been an iron-clad man since he was a child. It is said that Qiu Xinggong's grandfather, Qiu Shou, was a brave and warlike general with great military achievements, and won the trust of the Western Wei Emperor and was appointed as the general of Zhendong.
Qiu Shou believed in Buddhism, and in his later years took refuge in the center of power and received an education in the countryside. Qiu Xinggong's father, Qiu He, inherited his grandfather's family of military generals. During the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Qiu He was appointed as the governor of Jiaozhi because of his military exploits and became a pillar of the country. Qiu He strictly led the troops and was deeply loved by the people of Jiaozhi. Qiu Xinggong has been brave and good at fighting since he was a child, and when he grew up, he learned a good martial arts.
Whenever a martial arts competition is held, Qiu Xinggong can always stand out and become the target of public criticism. Qiu He also praised his son's talent, and even planned to make Qiu Xinggong the governor of Jiaozhi. However, Qiu Xinggong did not go to Jiaozhi, but decided to kill himself, drawing his sword in the troubled times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Tang Dynasty II Heroes Save the King of Meiqin.
In 617 AD, Li Shimin led an uprising in Taiyuan and soon captured Chang'an. Qiu Xinggong fell in love with the young hero at first sight.
At this time, Li Shimin had just gotten up, and it was warm and cold in spring. Day and night, the news of the Northern Zhou rebellion came from all over the country, and the sound of killing was everywhere, and the will was firm. Qiu Xinggong led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and in the roaring sound of war horses, the three of them rode into Chang'an. Li Shimin greeted him with courtesy, and then set up a banquet to entertain him, talking about Qiu Xinggong's benevolence and righteousness, the two hit it off at first sight.
Subsequently, Qiu Xinggong became the first general under Li Shimin and led his troops to fight on the battlefield. In the ensuing campaign, Qiu Xinggong led his troops to make many achievements. Especially in the battle of Mangshan, Li Shimin personally led dozens of horsemen to rush into the enemy formation and died in deep water.
Before the Battle of Bishan, Li Shimin repeatedly argued and decided to personally verify the authenticity of Wang Shichong. He selected fifty of the most elite cavalrymen and quietly appeared on the outskirts of the enemy camp at dawn. He first made a large circle and explored the road unimpeded, but because of his long stay, he was discovered by the enemy at dawn.
During this period, the enemy killed tens of thousands of people, and Li Shimin was left with only seven war horses. His war horse"Zaruzi"The arrow bleed too much and died, and in the battle more arrows were hit. Seeing this, Qiu Xinggong rushed to the battlefield without hesitation and saved Li Shimin. When the enemy's arrow was about to take Li Shimin's life, Qiu Xinggong shot an arrow at the arrow in the enemy's hand and saved the life of King Qin.
iii.Carved stone to commemorate the benefactor.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he never forgot Qiu Xinggong's life-saving grace. In order to commemorate this heroic general, Tang Taizong ordered the carving of Qiu Xinggong to save the relief in Zhaoling. this"Zhaoling Six Horses"The stone carving is a monument erected by Li Shimin to commemorate this life-saving benefactor.
Zhaoling is located in the Wannian District outside Chang'an City, covering an area of 540 hectares. Qiu Xinggong's rescue of Li Shimin made Li Shimin truly feel his hard work, and Qiu Xinggong's riding and archery skills, coupled with his bravery, are enough to make him a model for future generations.
Li Shimin then ordered the story of the master and the five horses fighting the world together engraved on the stone carving of Zhaoling to commemorate it. When later generations read the story of repairing the Emperor's Mausoleum, they will inevitably mention the story of Qiu Xinggong and the five horses, and their names and stories have been passed down through the ages.
iv.He has been reprimanded several times for violent behavior.
Qiu Xinggong is a brave god of war, but he has a bad temper and his irritable personality is often revealed. The civil and military officials around him were afraid of him. It was common for Qiu Xinggong to disagree with his colleagues in the court, and every time he was reprimanded by the angry Tang Taizong.
In fact, Qiu Xinggong has a simple personality, and he has always been vigorous and resolute in his words and deeds. The ministers knew that the emperor was the first to save his life, so they deliberately tricked him and exposed his shortcomings. Qiu Xinggong has always been cynical, he can't see the bullying of loyalty, and every time he jumps out to accuse the minister. This made Li Shimin feel like a man, and he believed that Qiu Xinggong's behavior was detrimental to the Tang system.
Therefore, whenever Qiu Xinggong opened his mouth to scold the minister at the court meeting, Li Shimin immediately stopped it and was immediately scolded. Qiu Xinggong is very direct, unlike ordinary people who see the wind and rudder. Every time Tang Taizong scolded him, he was also very stubborn, and the two argued for a long time. The ministers on the left and right were silent and did not dare to say anything.
What worries Tang Taizong even more is that Qiu Xinggong sometimes disagrees with his relatives. Once, he and his brother fell out over his mother's funeral and were reported to the palace. Tang Taizong was very angry and directly removed him from his official position.
Qiu Xinggong's life has been full of ups and downs, life-saving benefactors have become benefactors, and benefactors have become annoying ghosts. His arrogant and unambitious personality doomed him to an irreparable fate.
Temper determines fate, Qiu Xinggong was repeatedly reprimanded by his life-saving benefactor Tang Taizong because of his short temper, and even interrupted his career. A generation of Ming monarch Li Shimin can only tolerate Qiu Xinggong's wild and rebellious character, but he can't change it even if he repeatedly retreats.
Qiu Xinggong's temperament was difficult to change, he did not seize the opportunity given to him by Tang Taizong, and in the end he did not achieve a good ending. He also became unruly and rebellious by nature, losing himself in an irrefutable talent. As the saying goes, God-given oranges, home-brewed orange wine. Qiu Xinggong does not think that temperament and fate are more important and far-reaching than life-saving grace.
The world is impermanent, only to maintain a normal heart. Although Qiu Xinggong's life was full of ups and downs, his uninhibited uninhibited achievements made him legendary. Later, his tombstone was inscribed"Nature determines destiny"Four big characters, presumably he was also impressed by these four words on Huangquan Road.
