Why is the birth of ancient emperors so wonderful? Because of my scales, I was reincarnated into a real dragon.
As we all know, in ancient times, to unify the world, three things were very important:
First, the will of the people;
Second, we must have certain military strength;
Third, God's command.
Only in this way can we really sit on the throne. In order to defend the country, the emperors also worked very hard.
Although the emperor with military power is very strong, he can't get the respect of the world, which is also the gap between the prince and the king. Only by deifying can we show our authority and convince the world. This requires the royal family to carry out reasonable self-packaging, and the packaging must be completed as soon as possible, not to mention that when they were born, some of them were in the womb before they were born, and they had already arranged for God.
These emperors decorated their images in people's minds by various means. Some of them promoted themselves, while others arranged officials to hunt them down. These are subjective and objective packaging directions. However, after thousands of years of development, traditional means have been used to the point of decay, which perfectly confirms the saying that "history is always like this".
Dragon, snake, sun and light, as the main reference points of royal legends in past dynasties, are arranged and rendered from the visual, auditory and even olfactory directions respectively. In order to deceive the world, we can say that we have spared no effort.
Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty, I believe everyone is familiar with him. In the early days, he was a small pavilion director and an unofficial official. Moreover, he used to be a hooligan in his hometown and was looked down upon. He also has many like-minded friends and often commits crimes in the countryside.
Xiang Yu, who was favored by the world at that time, committed suicide in Wujiang. He is also a rare hero in turbulent times. Later, in the history books about him, it was recorded that his mother once met God in her sleep. Later, when Liu Bang was born, it was stormy and dark. Later, a dragon broke into his house and circled the maternity bed for a long time. Later, Liu Bang was born.
It is recorded in the book that when Emperor An of the Eastern Han Dynasty was born, there was a huge red snake hovering around the maternal bed, and the surrounding lights were brightly lit. Cao Pi of Wei Wendi is also a famous figure. When he ascended the throne, it can be said that his name was not justified. Moreover, he was jealous of Cao Zhi's talent and wanted to destroy Cao Zhi.
But in order to make him the son of heaven, there is a legend about him in relevant history books: when he was born, a blue cloud hovered in production, and the sky outside the house was as big as the hood of a carriage, which has not been removed for a long time. People who see everything say that this is definitely a symbol of the noblest person, not a courtier.
Although Liu Bei was a descendant of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms period, he was only collateral. Later, he established friendship with two generals, Zhang Guan, and established Shu with the help of Zhuge Liang. It is said that before he became rich, there was a mulberry tree more than fifty feet high in the southeast corner of his home. The crown of the tree is as big as the hood. Everyone who saw it was surprised and thought that there must be rich people in this family.
Si Marui was also a successful monarch in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, the Western Jin Dynasty was suppressed by the Xiongnu army, but he was able to lead the disabled generals to Jiangdong to rebuild the Eastern Jin Dynasty and protect the incense. It is said that when he was born, there was a magic lamp in the delivery room, which lit up the whole room.
It is said that he has a small amount of white hair in his temples, which is standard dragon beard meat. Moreover, his eyes can flash white light and look sacred. He is definitely not an ordinary person, but a real dragon reincarnation.
Song Wudi, like Liu Bei, was born with the same divine light to illuminate the delivery room, and the nectar "fell on the tomb tree" that night. Song Wendi's achievements in his life are similar to those of Si Marui. It is said that when he was born, there was a black dragon in the west, followed by colorful clouds. The town where he lives is covered with a large purple cloud.
Emperor Gaudi of Qi was born a general, and later he came to power and became king. He once said that if he ruled this country for ten years, the price of gold would be the same as that of soil, which meant that the world was rich and the people were comfortable.
It is said that when he was in Wujin County, there was a mulberry tree three feet high in the house where he lived. In fact, this tree has four branches that grow horizontally, making the crown look like the cover of a carriage. People around you say there will be noble people at home. Later, Emperor Gao Di of Qi was born. It is said that he is handsome, and the most commendable thing is that he has scales, just like the reincarnation of a real dragon.
In fact, the emperors hoped to deify their rule in this way. However, it seems ridiculous now and gradually disappears with the development of the times. Here, it's just Bo Jun's smile.
