As the saying goes: Luck can't be stopped even when it comes. Some people become celebrities around the emperor because of an inadvertent sentence. Some people have never caught fish before but have accidentally played and fished a lot. Some people have won a confidante among thousands of people just by looking at the beauty more. However, these are really nothing compared to some lucky people in history. Please see the following five historical figures who were hit by the goddess of luck!
1, Yang Xi
The name should be unfamiliar with everyone. If you rack your brains, you can't imagine that he has a connection with a celebrity in history. This is true. He is just a little person.
According to the "Records of the Grand Historian", Yang Xi defected to the then Hanzhong King in Xi'an in 205 BC. In the early days, he followed Han Xin , and later followed Guan Ying, and became the doctor of the doctor, Cavalry Commander . He was an incomparable young general in the army at that time.
At the Battle of Gaixia , in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the army, Liu Bang hereby announced: Whoever can kill Xiang Yu can be granted a marquis and generals, and whoever gets Xiang Yu's corpse can be rewarded with ,000 households and 5 weeks, exempting three years of taxes.
This is undoubtedly a huge temptation. Later, the flying general Li Guang even though he made countless contributions, he was not appointed as a marquis until his death. So when the soldiers heard that even though Xiang Yu had his might and his aura was so powerful that he attacked wildly as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Xiang Yu was at the end of his life and committed suicide. The soldiers rushed forward and frantically fought for Xiang Yu's body. Yang Xi was the lucky one. He grabbed one of Xiang Yu's legs, so Yang Xi was enfeoffed with Chiquan Hou and ate 1,900 households.
There are two other records about Yang Xi. One is that in 194 BC, Emperor Hui of Han demoted Yang Xi to the people. The specific reason is unknown, but his title was restored the following year. The second is that Yang Xi died in 168 BC and was posthumously named Yan Hou by Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi. So far, there are no records of Yang Xi.
Although Yang Xi is not famous in the long history, his descendants are famous. His great-grandson Yang Chang also became the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han. The "Eleven Prime Minister" family "Hongnong Yang Family" is said to be built by Yang Xi's descendants.
2. Liu Banzi
Liu Banzi is a direct descendant of the Han Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, and can be regarded as a child of the royal family of the Han Dynasty . When Liu Penzi was born, it was . In the late Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty . In order to be the emperor, Wang Mang almost killed all the children of the Han Dynasty's royal family. Liu Penzi's father Liu Mengsi is one of them.
After his father's death, Liu Penzi and his two brothers fled to their hometown in Taishan County. Life was quite difficult. Soon the Red Eyebrow Army Rebellion broke out. The three brothers of Liu Penzi were also plundered to Red Eyebrow Army as children of the royal family.
The leader of the Red Eyebrow Army was called Fan Chong . After Wang Mang's New Dynasty was destroyed, he defected to Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan . Liu Penzi's elder brother Liu Gong Because he had read some poetry and books since he was a child, he was attracted by Emperor Gengshi and stayed by his side to serve him, so he was able to escape the clutches of the Red Eyebrow Army. Liu Penzi and his second brother Liu Mao could only stay in the Red Eyebrow Army and cut grass and herd cattle for the Red Eyebrow Army. Although it is very hard to mow grass and herd cattle every day, Liu Penzi has a characteristic that he is a very content person. When the Red Eyebrow Army asked him to herd cattle, he herded cattle honestly, and he was very attentive when herding cattle. Liu Penzi was only fifteen years old this year.
If there was no accident, Liu Penzi might have stayed in the Red Eyebrow Army as a cowherd for the rest of herding baby, but sometimes no one can stop someone from having luck. Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan had already had a disagreement with the Red Eyebrow Army, and the two sides had fought wars before. Although the Red Eyebrow Army surrendered to the court of Gengshi , the power of the Red Eyebrow Army grew stronger and stronger, and soon exceeded 300,000 troops. This made Liu Xuan feel even more worried, fearing that one day not only the emperor would not succeed but also lose his life. So Liu Xuan talked to Fan Chong to abdicate the throne.
Although Fan Chong also wanted to be an emperor, he had Wang Mang's past lessons, so this emperor Fan Chong himself did not dare to be it, so he wanted to choose someone among the children of the Han Dynasty's royal family to be the puppet emperor. However, Fan Chong did not choose the right candidate after all the selection, because the direct children of the Han Dynasty were almost slaughtered by Wang Mang, and there was no way out. Fan Chong had to count the children of the royal family from the sidelines, and Liu Penzi and the other three brothers were among them.
In this way, there are more than 70 candidates. It is also a big question to choose who to be the emperor. Finally, Fan Chong decided by drawing lots at his subordinates' suggestions.
Liu Banzi is unaware of this and is herding cattle wholeheartedly, but was notified to participate in the lottery. Because Liu Penzi was the youngest, he was ranked last to draw lots. As a result, no one of the top 70 people drew. Liu Penzi, who was ranked last, drew the imperial lottery. The next day, he was promoted to the throne by Fan Chong to ascend the throne and changed the era to establish the world.
Although Liu Penzi was young, he also knew that this puppet emperor was not easy to be. If he didn't do it well, he would be pushed out as a scapegoat. However, at this point, he could only go with the situation.
Liu Benzi's luck not only lies in his leap from a cowherd to emperor, but also in his encounter with the most kind founding emperor in history Liu Xiu . In 27 AD, the Red Eyebrow Army was defeated in the battle with Liu Xiu, and Liu Penzi led his people to surrender to Liu Xiu.
Because Liu Xiu knew that Liu Penzi was just a puppet emperor and had never done any evil deeds, he treated Liu Penzi relatively generously. Not only did he give Liu Penzi generously, but he also appointed Liu Penzi as the doctor of Liu Xiu's uncle Zhao Wang Liu Liang . Later, Liu Penzi was blind due to illness, and Liu Xiu also ordered the use of the official land tax of Xingyang to support Liu Penzi for life. From then on, Liu Penzi lived without worries about food and clothing until his death.
Judging from the ending of Liu Penzi, Liu Penzi is indeed extremely lucky, because most of the people who became puppet emperors in history have no good ending. Liu Penzi can escape unscathed and is one of the luckiest people in history.
3. Cui Jingsi
Cui Jingsi is the luckiest person in history. Others have received it on behalf of others, but he only "rewarded on behalf of others" because he was the same name and surname as others, but the "right master" did not receive the reward he deserved. Cui Jingsi's "Goddess of Luck" is the confused Tang Zhongzong Li Xian.
In February of the first year of Sisheng, Li Xian was deposed as Wu Zetian and demoted from Chang'an . He was successively arrested in Junzhou and Fangzhou (now Fang County, Hubei Province) for 14 years.
When Li Xian was placed in Fangzhou, many local officials looked down on the emperor who "abolized" and were always arrogant and despised Li Xian and had no etiquette and laws. Only Cui Jingsi, who is the governor of Fangzhou, was "alternative" to Li Xian. He not only was polite and respectful to Li Xian, but also often provided sufficient supplies to support Li Xian, which made Li Xian very grateful and secretly promised that he would repay him well if he had a turnaround in the future.
In the first year of Zhengsheng, Zhongzong was restored, and at this time, the governor of Fangzhou Cui Jingsi had already passed away, of course Li Xian did not know. Li Xian often remembers Cui Jingsi's kindness back then, so every time the relevant departments report to him a list of officials to promote, he will pay special attention to Cui Jingsi's name.
At this time, the lucky one appeared. He was the Chief of Staff Cui Jingsi, the Chief of Staff Cui Jingsi, the governor of Fangzhou. Whenever Emperor Zhongzong of Tang saw Cui Jingsi in the list of promoted officials submitted, he wrote a question in his imperial examination, skipping the officials who needed to visit many times and promoting Cui Jingsi's position beyond the level. This happened at least four times. How could he know that Cui Jingsi is not that Cui Jingsi.
Later, one day, Li Xian wanted to meet Cui Jingsi, so he summoned him to the palace to have a conversation. Only then did he realize that Cui Jingsi, who had been promoted by him, had never been the benefactor Cui Jingsi of that year. Li Xian was filled with emotion. In order to repay the governor of Fangzhou Cui Jingsi, Li Xian granted Cui Jingsi's son Cui Yue's official position. Because Cui Yue loved drinking and was unable to serve as an official, he was awarded the title of the Minister of Luozhou and was also awarded the title of the fifth rank of scattered officials until he was appointed as the governor.
And the lucky one who was directly promoted by the emperor many times because of the same name and surname, Shi Cui Jingsi, the governor of the former Yiguo, still freely held an official position with a pie falling from the sky. It is really enviable!
4, Liu Heng
Emperor Wen of Han Liu Heng wants to say that he is the luckiest, I am afraid that no emperor of all dynasties can stand up and refute it. Liu Heng’s greatest luck was actually his greatest misfortune at the beginning - no one protected him.
His mother Bo is the wife of the rebel king Wei Bao . Liu Bang killed Wei Bao and stole his wife. Although he gave birth to Liu Heng, he was not favored by Liu Bang and was directly ignored by Empress Lu. His fiefdom was even more disliked. Dynasties is not only on the first front of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu . There are Xiongnu siege to fight grass valley every day, but also the most desolate and barren area of the entire Han Dynasty. Being a prince there basically means being exiled to the frontier.
Therefore, Liu Heng has lived a life when his grandmother did not love his uncle and did not love him since he was born to the throne. It is already the ceiling of his life that Liu Heng was able to be named a scattered vassal king when he became an adult. However, the unrespected mother and the fiefdom that others dislike became Liu Heng’s greatest luck. After Lu Zhi took office, the favored Concubine Qi was directly made into a "human" by her. King Zhao Liu Ruyi was also poisoned. A sect of the Liu family was almost slaughtered. Bo and Liu Heng, who had always been despised by Lu Zhi, escaped.
After Lu Zhi died, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo began to carry out a major purge on the Lu family in the court, and finally settled the Lu chaos. After the settlement of Zhulu, he naturally chose a suitable heir for the Han Dynasty. However, Liu Heng's "unfortunateness" became his biggest advantage.
Zhou Bo and Chen Ping Although they made great contributions in the eradication of Zhu Lu, the first person to raise the banner of righteousness was King Qi Liu Xiang . He was originally a very suitable heir to the throne, but he was abandoned by the heroes for two reasons. One is the Liu Fei , which was named Liu Fei , which ruled 73 cities. It was the largest vassal state at that time with a deep foundation; the other is that Liu Fei's mother Cao was originally an extramarital woman when Liu Bang was a teenager. She had an old age with Lu Zhi, and she had a bad temper. If she became the empress dowager, she might be the second Empress Lü.
So, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping chose Liu Heng, who was unknown, had no power in his mother's family and was easy to control.
Liu Heng's luck is not only so, he also met two loyal ministers - Zhou Bo and Chen Ping. According to historical records, when Zhou and Chen sent envoys to pick Liu Heng up to Chang'an to succeed the throne, Liu Heng was not very happy at first. On the contrary, he became suspicious. His subordinates also had different opinions, and some believed that this was a conspiracy. Liu Heng finally decided to give it a try using divination. And just in case, Liu Heng took every step of the way to Chang'an. While sending his uncle Bo Zhao to Chang'an to find out the truth, he also sent his subordinate Song Chang'an to explore the way. Finally, the careful Liu Heng inherited the throne safely with the support of loyal ministers such as Zhou Bo and Chen Ping. He was extremely lucky, otherwise Liu Heng would be a puppet emperor at most.
5, Hu Changling
Hu Changling, the top scorer in the Jinke in the 54th year of Qianlong.
Hu Changling was born into a poor family in Nantong, Jiangsu Province. He lost his father at the age of six and his mother at the age of ten. He survived with the help of the village.
But Hu Changling did not sink into this. He was "early and intelligent" and had no money to go to a private school, so he hid under the window of the village school to eavesdrop. After ten years of cold and heat, Hu Changling finally grew into a talented and knowledgeable man.
In 1789 AD, 31-year-old Hu Changling brought the money borrowed by his neighbors from Sili to Beijing to take the exam. However, the journey from Jiangsu to Beijing was long, and Hu Changling, who had no money to take a carriage, could only walk there. When he came to Daming Mansion in Jinan, he had already spent all his money. At the end of his life, Hu Changling could only stay in the City God Temple for a temporary stay, but was arrested by the government as a refugee.
Fortunately, he met an upright official Liu Ming. During the interrogation, Liu Ming saw that he was a very talkative person. After asking carefully, he learned that he was a candidate who went to Beijing to take the exam. He spent all his money and temporarily lived in the City God Temple. So he was not only acquitted, but also gave him a sufficient travel expense.
According to the "Qing Bai Lei Chao", Hu Changling was originally ranked tenth in the imperial examination in the 54th year of Qianlong (1789), and was not the first top scorer.
However, during the palace examination, Qianlong directly promoted Hu Changling, who ranked tenth in the imperial examination, to the first top scorer, because the reason was that his name had a good meaning.
At that time, Qianlong was 79 years old. When he was old, he began to miss power. He especially liked others' compliments and hoped that he could live a long life. "Hu Changling" means "Hu Changling" in Qianlong's view, which means "Hu people should live long."
As we all know, The ancestor of of the Qing Dynasty was Hu people from the north, so Qianlong felt that the name "Hu Changling" was auspicious, and it seemed to indicate that he should live forever. So when he was happy, he issued an order to choose Hu Changling as the top scholar.
It is said that there was a good literati at that time who wrote an article called "Hu Changling won the Dakui by his name".
Hu Changling was an upright person. After entering the court, he became an official, he was honest and upright, and opposed the tendency to be inclined to the enemy. When Hu Changling passed the imperial examination, he was the prime minister of the current dynasty. According to convention, even if he was Heshen's disciple, he should come to visit him. But the upright Hu Changling was unwilling to join Heshen, so he did not go to visit him, and ended up offending Heshen.
However, misfortune is the basis of good fortune. After Qianlong's death, Heshen fell, and the newly ascended throne Jiaqing The emperor settled Heshen's followers and found that many letters from ministers and Heshen were not written by Hu Changling. Jiaqing was very happy for this and believed that Hu Changling was a clean official, so he valued it. Only then did his official position gradually grow bigger and finally become the Minister of Rites.
