The video of the third person being counted ended, but everyone was surprised to find that the video had no intention of stopping.
"Want to continue?"
"Is this a one-time show for us to enjoy?"
"Isn't this great? Watch it all at once, so you don't have to wait seven days to watch the next issue like before."
"You don't know, a lot of outsiders have come to the capital recently, all to see the oracle!"
"Our business is really booming now. I really hope Su Shangshen won't finish the inventory in one go."
"Profiteer!"
In various parallel worlds, amid the discussions of common people and officials, the next person to be counted appeared again!
As the video screen suddenly lit up, vast and exciting music suddenly sounded!
[In the middle of the night, the sound of military expeditions shook the sky, and the plains of Xiangfan became an abyss.]
[Strange winds angrily stirred the water of the Han River, and huge waves swallowed up the Hekou River.]
[In August, the sky is full of rain, and the seven armies lie in mourning.]
[Who can match Guan Gong’s divine strategy? China’s fame will be passed down through the ages!]
A praise poem from Luo Guanzhong tells the story of Guan Gong’s everlasting reputation that has been passed down through the ages!
[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: taking stock of the top ten heroes in history!]
[Producer: Su Qian]
[No. 7 among the top ten warriors in history: Guan Yunchang, the powerful figure in China!]
"Martial Saint Guan Yunchang!"
"I knew I would definitely miss him!"
"Second Brother Guan is unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness, and he deserves to be on the list!"
"I've never heard of another macho man from later generations," Liu Bang curled his lips and said to himself.
Liu Che narrowed his eyes slightly and said with some regret: "Why is it another general whom I don't know? Is it possible that my Han general is not worthy of being on the list?"
Liu Xiu: "Looking at this poem, it seems that Guan Gong is very famous?"
In the eyes of everyone with amazement and great anticipation, the video picture began to change.
The blurry picture gradually became clearer, and everyone realized that this perspective seemed to come from a bird circling in the sky.
Below, on the vast land, is a group of dark soldiers. They are currently engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
And just when the battle between the two sides was heating up, there was a man holding a Yanyue knife and riding a flaming red rabbit horse under his crotch. He suddenly accelerated and sprinted behind the opponent's formation!
"What does this guy want to do?" Qin Shihuang said in surprise: "Is it possible that he is like Yang Zaixing and wants to gather thousands of troops to take the general's head?"
"Appeared! Guan Yu killed Yan Liang alone!"
"Second brother! Second brother is starting to charge!!!"
"Hey! How many arrogant and brave guys throughout the ages have wanted to stage a drama of taking the head of a general among thousands of armies. But there are only a few people who can accomplish such a feat. Guan Yunchang is one of them!" Zhu Di was extremely fond of Guan Yu.
Reverence, because according to legend, when Zhu Di raised troops to quell the crisis, some people said that his actions were blessed by Guan Yu's appearance, so it was "God's will" for Zhu Di to become emperor.
In the video, the fierce general saw the enemy general's canopy of banners from a distance, so he rode towards the Chinese army!
"unstoppable!"
This is the first thought that comes to everyone's mind after seeing the video.
Then,
"Damn, so fierce!!!"
"Wow! The enemy general seemed to have been killed without even reacting!!!"
"What a fast horse! What a fast knife!"
"Martial Saint!! Martial Saint!!!"
The whole world is filled with joy!
[To understand why Guan Yu has such a huge reputation in later generations, we have to start with the "Martial Temple". 】
[In the second year after Confucius died, Duke Ai of Lu converted his former residence into a temple. After the Han Dynasty, the status of the Confucius Temple continued to improve. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty named Confucius the "King of Wenxuan", so the Confucius Temple became the "Confucian Temple".
As the saying goes, "The way of a saint is all-encompassing, and those who have literary skills must have military preparations."
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, civil and military affairs began to separate. Since there was a Confucian temple, there was naturally a martial temple.
In the fourth year after Li Heng, Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, ascended the throne, he honored Taigong as King Wucheng and established the "Wuchengwang Temple", referred to as "Wucheng Temple". So far, China's Confucian Temple and Wucheng Temple are complete.]
[During the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, Jiang Ziya was the main deity of the martial temple, and the worshipers were different in each dynasty.
But in the early Ming Dynasty, there were many arrogant and powerful generals, which made Zhu Yuanzhang worried. In order to advocate civil rule, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Jiang Ziya was a minister of the Zhou Dynasty and a local prince, so he moved Jiang Ziya to the temples of the kings for sacrifice, and abolished the martial arts temple.]
"." Zhu Yuanzhang felt that one of his little secrets had been revealed by Su Qian again, and his face was slightly burning.
"Hahaha! This old Zhu is really interesting." Yang Guang couldn't help laughing.
"But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to wantonly suppress the generals. It seems that he learned a lesson from me." Zhao Kuangyin's self-awareness is now in place.
[In the late Tang Dynasty, Guan Yu appeared in the Wucheng Temple and was worshiped as a courtier in the Wuchengwang Temple.
During the Song Dynasty, Guan Yu's status continued to improve and he gradually had an independent ancestral hall.
During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was first given the posthumous title of "Loyal and Hui Gong" and then "Yiyong Wu'an King". His status was promoted from "Hou" to "Gong" and then to "King".]
When Zhao Ji saw this, he pointed at the light curtain excitedly and shouted: "Yes! It was me! It was me! I finally appeared in the oracle with a positive image!!! Hahahaha!"
"
Look at Su Qian forcing this poor kid to do evil.
[During the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Xiaozong Zhao Zong granted Guan Yu the title of "King Zhuang Miao Yi Yong Wu An Yingji".
During the Yuan Dynasty, the word "Xian Sheng" was added, and it was called "Xian Shengyi Yongwu King An Yingji".
During the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, Guan Yu's status became higher and higher, reaching the level of "king" and "sage".
Although Guan Yu's personal charm lies in this, in fact, the rulers are also behind it. He hopes that the people under his rule can serve the country with conscientiousness and loyalty like Guan Yu.】
[This idea is not wrong, because the Chinese nation needs heroes! 】
"Canonized? Haha, I would like to see your true strength!"
"Guan Yunchang has such a great reputation in later generations? Then I, Lu Fengxian, will become a god?"
"Although I don't know this warrior, he must be an admirable hero to have such a reputation in history!"
[During the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang not only abolished the martial arts temple, but also abolished the titles given to Guan Yu in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and restored Guan Yu's original title (Han) Shoutinghou.
But on the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang also built many Guan Yu temples across the country, once again increasing Guan Yu's influence.]
"Gah?!" However, before Zhao Ji could be happy for a long time, he suddenly discovered that the title he gave Guan Yu had been revoked by Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Good old Zhu! You actually revoked the title I gave Guan Gong! When we get together next time, forget it, I can't beat you." Zhao Ji said "I" for a long time, but helplessly found that he seemed to be unable to defeat this murderer.
The stupid founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty had to admit he was a coward.
[During the Ming Dynasty, there was no official definition of the worship of Guan Yu. They adopted an attitude of not encouraging or opposing it. Later generations of emperors did not take special measures to Guan Yu Temple, and everything was left to the free development of the people.
But because of the appearance of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Luo Guanzhong during the Hongwu period, people's worship of Guan Yu has actually reached a very deep level.】
Guan Yu, who had gray hair on his temples and a forlorn expression, looked at the light curtain and murmured to himself: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The name is indeed very appropriate. Big brother and third brother, I may only meet you again in the next life!"
