As in literature, Xue Rengui is from the Tang Dynasty.
The difference from literature works is that Xue Rengui in literature works is mainly Tang Taizong Li Shimin period generals. In history, Xue Rengui was promoted by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and when he reached the Tang Gaozong , he became a long-term official in Guazhou, a right-leading army guard general, a procurator and deputy governor of the state, and he was named the Duke of Pingyang.
As we all know, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi period, Wu Zetian has been involved in government affairs. And because of her marital relationship with Li Zhi, it was difficult to tell which policy was his decision and which was hers. Xue Rengui's high-ranking official position proved that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian valued him very much.
Xue Rengui is of course not a false name. He fought for Datang for decades, once defeated Jiuxing Tiele, subdued Goryeo, defeated Turkic, and made outstanding achievements, leaving behind "a good strategy to fight for peace" and "three arrows to fix Tianshan"" Allusions such as bravely harvesting Liaodong", "Benevolent Goryeo Kingdom", "Love the People Xiangzhou City", "Take off your hat and retreat from all enemies".
Xue Rengui in literature has a son named Xue Dingshan , Xue Dingshan also has a son named Xue Kui . Because Xue Kui was young and reckless and made mistakes, Xue Dingshan was implicated and beheaded by the whole family. And this Xue Kui escaped by chance and became the main force against Wu Zetian and restoring Li Tang Jiangshan.
In history, Xue Dingshan and Xue Kui are fictional.Among the sons of Xue Rengui in history, the most famous one is Xue Ne . He was reused by Wu Zetian, guarded the frontier, resisted the Turks, and made many military exploits. Later, he worshiped General Zuo Yulin and was in charge of the security of the capital—the one who was in charge of the security of the capital was always a general who trusted him very much. From this point of view, their father and son were deeply used by Wu Zetian.
