The attack of the king of Wu on the king of Tang and the destruction of Sui Dynasty was actually a war between cousins.

The attack of the king of Wu on the king of Tang and the destruction of Sui Dynasty was actually a war between cousins.

Zhou Wuwang Ji Fa and Shang Zhouwang Di Xin, one was the founding monarch of the Zhou Dynasty and the other was the leader of the Shang Dynasty, but they were actually cousins.

It is said that my father's grandfather was an official in Shang Dynasty. Because of his high status, he was taboo by businessmen and placed under house arrest, and later he died of hunger strike.

Ji Li's son, Zhou Wenwang, thought that the king had killed his father after he succeeded to the throne, so he actively gathered troops and prepared to avenge his father.

Di Yi, the newly enthroned king of Shang Dynasty, was Di Xin's father. In order to mend the submissive relationship between Shang and Zhou dynasties, he adopted the method of marrying a younger sister to ease the contradiction between Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Ji Chang sized up the situation and thought that the time was not ripe to destroy the business. In order to stabilize the Shang Dynasty and gain enough time, he agreed to marry the Shang Dynasty, that is, his sister, Aunt Di Xin.

The fifty-fourth book of changes says, "Returning to my sister": "It is not as good as Di Yi's kindness to return to her sister; A few days, Ji. "

In other words, Zhou Wenwang is DiYi's brother-in-law and Shang Zhouwang's uncle; DiYi is Zhou Wenwang's brother-in-law and Zhou Wuwang's uncle. Obviously, Zhou Wuwang (uncle's son) and Shang Zhouwang (uncle's son) became cousins.

In a similar situation, there are Tang Gaozu Tang gaozu and Yang Di emperor Yang Guang, one is the founding king of the later Tang Dynasty, and the other is the king of the former Sui Dynasty, but they are also cousins.

Sui and Tang dynasties passed down in one vein, and * * * created a prosperous time, and even the blood is the same root and ancestor.

It turns out that the emperor and Tang gaozu's grandfather were both famous handsome men, celebrities and great ancestors in the history of China, and nobles of Xianbei people in the Northern Dynasties and the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

It is said that Du Yisheng had eight sons and seven daughters. Among them, the fourth woman married Li Bing, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, and was later made the Queen of Yuan Zhen. She gave birth to Li Yuan and others. The seventh daughter married Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, a literary queen, and gave birth to Yang Guang.

In this way, Emperor Wendi of Sui and Bing are brother-in-law (son-in-law), Tang Yuan has to be called uncle Wendi, Yang Guang has to be called uncle Bing, Tang Yuanhe is a cousin, and Tang Taizong's brother is called a cousin.

Therefore, "King Wu attacked Zhou" and "King Tang destroyed Sui" are both wars between cousins.
