The Legend of Xue Rengui

When Xue Rengui was eighteen, his parents died, his house was burned, and all his family property was reduced to ashes. When he was in poverty, Xue Rengui asked his uncle for help but was rejected. Fortunately, Wang Maosheng and his wife rescued him. Liu Yinhuan, the daughter of the Liu family, was moved by Xue Rengui's chivalrous sentiments, secretly helped and fell in love with Xue, and despite her father's objections, the two escaped from the Liu family and got married in Hanyao. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was hunted down by Bo Liao officials. He was rescued by a young general in white robes when he was in danger. It turned out to be a nightmare. Military advisor Xu Maogong interpreted the dream and said that the white-robed young man in the dream would be the future pillar of the country. The "virtuous minister in the dream" was Xue Rengui from Longmen County, Shanxi Province. King Bojian, who was canonized as the King of Boliao by the Tang Dynasty, was instigated and intimidated by Marshal Tie Shiwen. He was unwilling to stay in Boliao (today's Bohai Bay area of ​​​​Liaoning). He wanted to get rid of the court, raised troops and rebelled, established himself as king, and dominated the Central Plains. In order to suppress the bandits and quell the rebellion, Li Shimin decided to go on a personal expedition and recruit troops nationwide. He ordered the general vanguard Zhang Shigui to go to Shanxi to recruit troops to find Xue Rengui, the "wise minister in response to the dream". There has always been a quarrel between the emperor Li Daozong and Xu Maogong and other heroes and veterans of the Wagang faction.
