Chapter 205: Rise and Fall

The day was cold, Liu Bei lay on the warm bed and did not want to move, covering a silk brocade quilt below his waist.

Li Yan's "Theory of Loyalty and Adultery" is more like "Theory of Rewards and Punishments for Loyalty and Adultery", the idea is very clear, and it also speaks to Liu Bei's heart.

Since the establishment of the Wei Gong Ji clan as the heir Zhou Zuo, and the Song Gong Kong clan as the heir Shang Zuo, these two families have been noble and abnormal, and they have survived Wang Mang's rebellion without falling.

Looking at the children of the clan who were beheaded in the fifth generation, it is inevitably a bit too generous.

Especially Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, if these two families committed suicide on hunger strike, it would be good for a few people to make a scene, but none of them did.

With peace of mind, he accepted Cao Pi's policy, and changed from the Duke of Wei and Song of the Han Dynasty to the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Song.

During the battle of the Eastern Crusade, there was a false alarm, and many ministers and important ministers already knew the bottom line of the original edict, which was to seal Liu Feng, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tian Xin as the kings of the border counties, which was very generous, breaking the tradition of not being the king of the Liu family.

It is better not to break the tradition, and now Li Yan is the right medicine, which can solve many current problems and set an excellent example for future generations.

More than 100 years later, if the world is in turmoil, the children of the Liu family ascended to the heights and shouted, and the natural heroes responded, taking becoming the new Sanke as their life goal and motivation.

People who have been poor since childhood are either very stingy or generous.

Liu Bei was very generous, because he generously accepted that Lu Bu had suffered a big loss, but he was still generous and reaped huge profits.

Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, the front-line army is all in hand, and the future Three Princes are renamed the dukes in front of them, so they naturally dare to seal it, but they are afraid that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will not dare to accept it.

Zhang Fei's family genealogy is simple and clear, and there is no problem in separating the heirs of the small sect Ji Zhou; There is no obstacle for Yu Xia, the heir of the Tian Xin family, the only obstacle is Guan Yu, how can Guan Yu's family be connected with Yin Shang?

Who can tell the things of antiquity?

Liu Bei sent Dr. Xu Ci, Yilang Meng Guang, and Bachelor Hu Qian for consultation, and originally there was a place for Lai Min in this etiquette-related consulting group.

Now let's wait for Lai Min to go back to Yizhou as soon as possible after sweeping the tomb, and see what Zhuge Liang does, anyway, Liu Bei doesn't want to do it.

Xu Ci is a native of Nanyang and studied under the great Confucian Zheng Xuan; Hu Qian, a native of Wei County, is a wild man with an excellent memory and remembers many etiquette regulations; Meng Guang was born in a Luoyang family and was proficient in etiquette.

Together with Lai Min, these four people are in charge of screening and reformulating the official etiquette regulations.

Without concealment, Liu Bei first declared righteousness: "Cao Pi usurped and rebelled, and the Song Duke and Wei Gong did not want to repay the country's kindness, but they actively followed the thief, which made me feel sad. ”

These two families have serious moral flaws and cannot continue to set an example.

He also said: "Now that the Yan and Han are prosperous, it is advisable to establish three Ke to respect the first king." I want to make Wudang Hou heir Yu Xia, Xixiang Hou heir Ji Zhou, Hanshou Hou heir Yin Shang. The three Aiqing, the ones I have suffered, lie in the lineage of the Marquis of Hanshou. Is there a solution? ”

Meng Guang, Xu Ci, and Hu Qian were in their forties, so they naturally understood these words.

It's not to come to you to ask if it's suitable, it's not to listen to your opinions, or to ask you to nominate a more suitable heir family, or to solve the problem of Guan Yu's family genealogy.

So before you speak, you must think about the key and don't be bored.

Xu Ci always hung his head and abandoned the Wei Gong and Song Gong families, which was to break off with the Central Plains clan.

Qinggui is like Wei Song Gong clan, in Liu Bei's eyes, they are all rebels who are thieves, so there are few clean people in the Central Plains clan.

It also means that next year's Northern Expedition will hardly take the initiative to rebel against the northern clans...... If the northern clan is not accepted, won't the Jingyi Erzhou clan usher in greater space for development?

Therefore, even if Guan Yu's genealogy problem is reasonably solved, it will be ridiculed by the Central Plains clan...... As long as these clans still exist, they will oppose and resist the Sanke clan that Liu Bei wants to establish.

Meng Guang also hung his head and was silent, this was to knock over the Kanto clan with a stick, and also knocked the Song Gongkong family to the ground, and kicked him in the face a few times.

This behavior itself is very bad, just like some time ago Tian Xin pointed at Laimin's nose and scolded the 'lost dog', it is an act of slapping people in the face.

During Cao Pi's usurpation, everyone was eager to forget the two princes of Wei and Song, and now that Liu Bei mentioned it, wouldn't it make the faces of Confucian scholars in the world dull?

You must know that the Kong family has two titles, one is the Duke of Song and the other is the Holy Marquis; It came into effect during the Han Dynasty, and it remained unchanged during the Great Wei Dynasty.

If it is a collateral line of these two families...... That can still be reluctantly explained, but there is no obstacle to Tian Xin's successor Yu Xia.

But Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's families are among the top three, how ridiculous they look, there is an atmosphere of being crowned by a monkey.

Xu Ci and Meng Guang cherished their reputation and were reluctant to open their mouths, so Liu Bei looked at Hu Qian.

No matter how rich Hu Qian's theoretical knowledge of etiquette is, his status is not as good as Xu Ci, Meng Guang, and Lai Min, just because Hu Qian is a wild man and has no teacher-student relationship to endorse.

Liu Bei said to Hu Qian: "After Qing Yu Shun, the heir of the Marquis of Wudang was honored by Yu Shun, which is a major event in the Qing clan for a hundred years. ”

After the enshrinement, there is also a ritual at least once a year, which is an important opportunity for socializing.

It plays a very important role in the cooperation between the various branches of Yu Shun, which can expand the network and gather a strong force.

For the sake of the future, what does it matter if you are not faced?

Look at Tian Xin, he almost punched Lai Min to death in public, so he knelt down on one knee Liu Bei, turned around and left, Lai Min cried and cried without clothes in public, what face is there?

That's it, Tian Xin still felt aggrieved, looking at the poems he sang on the way back to Fengguo, as if he didn't kill Laimin, Laimin seemed to have taken a big advantage.

Now he wants to succeed Yu Xia Guozuo, such an ancestor does not hold his thighs, isn't it hopeless to be confused?

Hu Qian thought about it for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Xia Shang and Zhou are all descendants of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, Gao Yang's Xuanyuan, is the first of Yu Xia. Zhuan Xuan has four sons from his nephew Gao Xin's emperor, the eldest son is named Eagle, who is the emperor and collapsed early, and the fourth son of the emperor Yao succeeded to the throne, which is for Emperor Yao. The second son of Emperor Yu was abandoned, and he was the first of Ji Zhou; The name deed of the three sons is the first of Yin Shang. ”

"Therefore, Ji Zhou and Yin Shang are all descendants of the emperor, and the brothers are also brothers."

"The Gaoyang clan has a descendant named Dong's father, who is good at raising dragons, and then lives in the east of the river as the Fenglong clan."

At this time, Liu Bei spoke: "I know this, the ancestor of my Liu clan learned to raise dragons with the Fenglong clan, and it was for the Yulong clan. ”

"Yes, after the Fenglong clan, it is Guan Long's, and it is just a homonym. General Hanshou Hou is a descendant of Guan Longxiao, and there is a genealogy as evidence, which is well known to the world. ”

Hu Qian explained the genealogy, and then said: "Therefore, after the Guan family is also Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, there is nothing wrong with inheriting Yin Shang Guozuo. ”

After going so far, he quoted Sima Qian's "Historical Records", and only used a reason after the Yellow Emperor to serve Yin Shang...... Hu Qian was also a little embarrassed and hung his head.

Meng Guang and Xu Ci had a tacit understanding to look at each other, smiling with their eyebrows, as if they had watched a humorous comedy.

"Well, it seems that I have been assisted by Yun Chang, Yide, and Xiaoxian before and after, and it is the mandate of heaven."

Liu Bei said seriously: "Proposed edict." ”

Shang Shu, who was listening to all this on the periphery, ordered Liu Ba to step forward and salute: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate. ”

Liu Bei just glanced at Liu Ba and looked at Deng Zhi and Jiang Wan behind Liu Ba: "Proposed edict." Since ancient times, the king of Zhongxing has been ordered to rise and extinguish, repair and abolition, and then the world will return to benevolence, and the government of the Quartet will be executed. ”

Deng Zhi and Jiang Wan studied ink and wrote with a pen, listened to Liu Bei's dictation, brewed words, and made an edict.

This is a canonization, not a canonization.

"Hanshou Hou Yu, I suffered from the difficulties of the Han Dynasty, the thieves and ministers usurped, the society has no owner, the people are right, and I will succeed the unification with the destiny of the sky. Today, Yu is the Song Dynasty, rising and falling, and the temple is inherited by the Yin Shang Temple, which is the three Ke of the Han Dynasty, and the guests are also supplemented, and they share weal and woe. Ceyu's eldest son, Pingshang Hou, and the second son, Xing inherited the Han Shouhou kingdom as before. ”

"Xixiang Hou Fei, I inherit the order of heaven and inherit the great cause of unification. Today, with Fei as the Wei Gong, the rise and fall of the extinction, to inherit the temple of Zhou Zong, for the Han Sanke, the world for the vassal. Cefei's second son, Shao Zhouhou, and the eldest son, Bao, inherited the Marquis of Xixiang as before. ”

"Wudang Hou Xin, I rule the Han order, and obey the mandate of heaven. Now to the letter for Xiahou, the rise and fall of the extinction, to inherit the temple of Xiazong, for the Han Sanke, the world for the vassal. Lingwu is the same as the old marquis, and when the son of Qing inherits the Xiahou, he will move to worship Chen Gong. ”

There is no need to care about how much food is eaten, this is all a feudal country, and how much you can support the people depends on how to govern.

Not to a single duke, but to one duke and two marquises. The principality may have three or five counties, and the Hou state has one.

With just this edict, the three families of Guan Zhangtian will steadily cut away fifteen counties as feudal states, and then count the fiefdoms cut off by the two princesses......

Whether it is Meng Guang, Xu Ci, or Jiang Wan, or Deng Zhi, their hearts are a little sour at the moment.

It can be expected that during the Northern Expedition next year, the Wei army will be unlucky.
