This is a thing I wrote in 03 years, mainly to explain some of the terms used in "Autumn Water Sky", but now take a look, basically can also draw a rough picture of the rise of the Langya Wang's family, sloths You can take a look at it first, if you want to figure it out a little more, I recommend you to find the book "Hairpin Family - The Legend of the Langya Wang Family of the Two Jin and Southern Dynasties" to see, Sanlian Bookstore 97 edition, one of the "Chinese Library" series, written very well and detailed, and the readability is also good.

Lv Gongdao. Green Box Studies. Langya royal family

After the seventh chapter was posted, a few friends asked me what Lu Gongdao was and what was the green box study.

These two names are related to the Langya royal family.

Maybe not every friend knows what the four words 'Langya Wangjia' mean, but I think everyone should always know the Qin general Wang Jian who destroyed the Chu State, the sage Wang Xizhi who likes geese, the 'Twenty-four Filial Piety', and the 'Old King Xie Tang Qianyan'.

At the same time, this is also the king of Wang Jian and the king of Wang Xizhi.

The 'Langya' in this does not refer to the Langya Mountain in Chuzhou, Anhui Province, but the ancient name of Linyi, Shandong. Ancient people liked to hang their county name in front of their surname, especially those big families with a long history and noble lintels. Therefore, until later, when the entire Wang family moved south and was far away from Shandong, they still called themselves 'Langya Wang Family', and even those Wang family children who had not crossed the Zhun River north from birth to death, and had not seen Shandong's pancakes and green onions, would still proudly call themselves 'Langya Wang Family'.

The founder of the Langya Wang family, named Wang Xiang, is the sixth grandson of Wang Qian.

Some friends probably don't know who he is, but if you talk about the big filial son in the 'Twenty-four Filial Piety', I believe that most friends will sigh 'oh' and sigh 'it turned out to be him'.

Even among the 'Twenty-Four Filial Piety', he has always been a very respected person, because, like Emperor Shun, his filial piety is not his biological mother, but his stepmother. A stepmother who hates this son so much that she always tries to get him to do tasks that normal people can't seem to do.

(The stepmothers in ancient records seem to be difficult to serve, and the same is true for Snow White and others in Western literature, or even worse.) Is it a testament to the so-called 'abstract humanity'? Laugh.)

Wang Xiang was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty in Guanghe seven years, three years younger than his famous fellow countryman Zhuge Liang, when Wolong soared into the sky, he was just a filial son living in the countryside, but at the same time, he can also be called the most famous filial son of that era.

I believe everyone is familiar with the matter of "lying on the ice and begging for carp", and in addition, "wind and rain guarding Li" is also a very famous filial piety in Chinese history.

There are a few plum trees in the back garden of the Wang family, and on a rainy night, the stepmother who was difficult to be moved ordered Wang Xiang to go to the back garden to guard the plums, not to let the fruit be knocked off by the wind and rain, and of course, manpower, at least in that era, it is impossible to conquer the wind and rain.

Of course, Wang Xiang has no way, but he can't help but go, and he can't help but obey the orders of his parents. Therefore, Wang Xiang could only stay in the garden and watch the wind and rain.

(From today's point of view, this may seem difficult to understand, but in those days, absolute obedience to parents, blind obedience, was still a highly praised and promoted thing.)

There was no way to stop the wind and rain, so he could only hug Li Shu and cry, hoping to move his stepmother. And in the legend, although this kind of sincerity could not move the stepmother, it moved God, so by dawn, these plum trees in the back garden of the Wang family were all in good shape.

The legend is absurd, but it can at least be seen from it that Wang Xiang is definitely a very filial person, otherwise, such rumors would not have appeared in him.

Although it is said that in Chinese history, filial piety has always been a highly valued virtue, but in that special period, in northern China, the importance of 'filial piety' definitely exceeded that of any previous era.

Of course, there is a reason for this, from the prime minister to the emperor, from the minister to the king, the Cao family cannot vigorously advocate the word 'loyalty', so in the direction of propaganda, they can only strengthen the word 'filial piety'.

In this context, Wang Xiang, such a famous filial son, of course, cannot live in the grassland for a long time.

In the early years of Wei and Huang, Wang Xiang was recruited out of the mountain to serve as a special driver in Xuzhou, and the Xuzhou assassin at that time was called Lu Qian, which was the "Lu Gong" in the "Lu Gong Knife".

(By the way, Huang Chu is Cao Pi's year name, at that time, Wang Xiang was about forty years old, and the 'Wuxia Ameng' in Jiangdong had already crossed the river in white clothes and captured Jingzhou.)

Don't drive is the assistant of the assassin history, it is very important, all the chores of the prime minister, if you don't drive well, the assassin will be much easier. Judging from the historical records, Wang Xiang's ability and sense of responsibility should be very good, at that time, there was a folk song that was sung like this:

Haiyi's Kang, relying on Wang Xiang, the country is not empty, don't drive.

Haiyi is Xuzhou, and it can be seen from this song that Wang Xiang, at least in Xuzhou, has a very high prestige.

has prestige and can manage politics, in today's words, Wang Xiang can be said to be 'virtuous and talented, with both ability and political integrity', he is definitely a good cadre material, and Lu Qian also saw this.

Lu Qian has a very beloved treasure knife, but he has never dared to match it, why, because, it is said that only the position of the three princes can wear this knife, and the blessed person cannot afford it.

The Three Princes used to be the title of the highest status courtiers in ancient China, and during the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Three Princes had to rank after the three divisions (Taishi, Taifu, Taibao), but they were still very great officials, and Lu Qian's ambition and ability did not have this height, so he never dared to use it.

(In various dynasties, the three dukes have different definitions, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the three dukes refer to Taiwei, Sikong and Sima, and in the Han Dynasty, it was Da Situ, Da Sima and Da Sikong, the powerful Cao Cheng Prime Minister, in fact, can also be called Cao Da Situ, in addition, the Han Dynasty did not have three divisions, and the three dukes were the biggest officials. The ambitious and talented Yuan Benchugong has always been very proud of his family's 'three generations of dukes'.)

Later, he gave the knife to Wang Xiang, which was of course a great gift, but it was also a very heavy gift, so when he accepted this gift, Wang Xiang's reaction was not joyful.

And for a long time afterward, Wang Xiang's performance seemed to show Lu Qian's missight and mislove, steady and cautious, he never radiated a brilliant light, and when considering that this is an era with Zhuge Liang, Ma Liang, Guo Jia, Xun You, Zhou Yu and Lu Su, it is even more impossible to 'value' him.

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 years have passed since the day he got the sword.

In thirty years, Liu Bei has grown old, Zhuge has passed away, Sima Yi and Lu Xun have also left, and the battle in the upper valley has gradually become a legendary event.

However, for Wang Xiang, these thirty years have passed slowly and quietly in a monotonous and unhurried, peaceful and calm rhythm.

In the third year of Wei Ganlu, the seventy-five-year-old Wang Xiang was appointed as the 'Three Elders', which is an official in charge of education, very respected, can teach lessons to the emperor, in a sense, can also be regarded as the emperor's teacher, at the age of seventy-five to be used so, Wang Xiang is very satisfied, at this time, he has already left the 'Three Princes' behind.

He didn't expect that the turnaround would come soon.

The emperor who appointed him was called Cao Chao, but in the history books, he did not have the imperial throne, and was only known as the "noble countryman".

That year, Cao Chao was eighteen years old, four years ago, when he was still a fourteen-year-old child, Sima Shi deposed Cao Fang, the king of Qi (this is also an emperor without an emperor title), and put him on the stage, and for an emperor, this is of course a shame, a shame that is difficult to endure, although it is said, but a few decades ago, such a bitter wine, that eloquent, amazingly talented Cao Cao Cao Prime Minister also generously poured to the kings and grandchildren of the Liu family to drink, but obviously, such a memory, can not make Cao Chao feel better.

Two years later, Cao Chao, who was in the 'Twenty Weak Crown', couldn't bear it anymore and resolutely launched a counterattack on the Sima family, and the result was, of course, very miserable.

died, and was accused of 'disobedience and self-inflicted disaster', and what is even worse is that few courtiers even dared to openly tear tears of sympathy for him.

Wang Xiang was an exception, when he heard the news, he cried in the court, blaming himself and saying that 'the old minister has no form'.

This cry actually cried for him to the position of 'Three Princes' that the treasure knife promised to him more than 30 years ago, and soon, he was promoted to Sikong, and later, he also served as a lieutenant, and they were all officials in the 'Three Princes'.

There have always been many theories about why there is such a thing, among which the most profound one is directly pointed to Wang Xiang's intentions, thinking that the so-called 'old minister has no form', in fact, he has quietly shirked the responsibility to Cao Chao in self-blame: the so-called 'no form', which should refer to the emperor's teacher did not lead the right way, which is equivalent to saying that Cao Chao's approach is not the right way, but it is a matter of course for the monarch to punish the rebels, and how can it be said that there is no form? Wang Xiang's crying exonerated the Sima family, and the Sima family, who understood it, returned the favor as the third prince soon after. As for Sima Lijin five years later, Wang Xiang did not resist and became an official, and was also worshiped as 'Taibao', ranking above the three dukes, which gives an excellent proof of this view.

To be honest, this is one of the most brilliant speculations I've ever seen, but I can't accept it.

Judging from Wang Xiang's entire life course, I would rather think that his crying came from the heart. This filial old man did have a certain affection for the young man who was only equivalent to his grandson in terms of age and mind, and with his prestige and the advanced age of seventy-seven, there was no need to show favor and attachment to the Sima family like this.

As for the statement that 'the old minister has no form', it should indeed be a kind of self-blame, a kind of self-blame that did not prevent Cao Chao from going to death, and this statement was used by the Sima family, it can only be said that the wise men of the Sima family are too good at grasping every opportunity that can be grasped.

For the Sima family, this peaceful and respected old minister does have the value of use, just as modern politicians always wear a steady dark suit when they want to express radical opinions, Wang Xiang, who everyone knows is by no means dependent on the Sima family, is the most wonderful 'suit'.

As for the accusation of Wang Xiang's entry into the Jin, I can only say that in the final analysis, in that era, the so-called 'loyalty' was a very difficult concept to grasp, and it was also a difficult thing to ask those courtiers who were born in the Han and grew up in the Han to be loyal to the death when this 'usurper' was 'usurped' by others.

In any case, Wang Xiang did not enjoy any glory and wealth, when he died, the Jin Dynasty was only established for three years, and the road of the Langya royal family's hairpin was just beginning.

Before his death, Wang Xiang transferred the Lu Gong knife to his younger brother Wang Lan, and it was very wonderful that Wang Xiang's transfer seemed to give his luck to Wang Lan and Wang Lan's descendants. Although Wang Lan only did the Guanglu doctor, behind him, there were two figures who pushed the Langya Wang family to the heyday of the era.

(Director Wang and Wang Dun are both very strong people, and they are both very complex people, there are too many stories about them, which cannot be described in this small article, in the future, I will use another article to tell about them.)

And Lu Gong knife, naturally, as a family treasure of the Wang family, has been cherished and collected, in the record of the official history, it is lost in the 'five Hu Chaohua', the Jin family moved south, but in the novel, the children of the Wang family can find it, but it can be kept for thousands of years, as a family treasure, and it seems to be a record of this is equal to the history of nothing, a sweep of the regret in the chest, it is the power and pleasure of the novelist.

As for the 'green box study', it is Wang Biaozhi.

I believe everyone is not very familiar with this name, but he has a cousin named Wang Xizhi, this name, no one should know this name.

Almost all of the children of the Wang family in Wang Xizhi's generation are very carefree and very unpopular, and the only exception is Wang Biaozhi.

He is also a very interesting person, he has been in his twenties and his hair is all white, so he has a nickname, called 'Wang Baixu'.

His strength is etiquette.

It may be difficult for us today to understand the importance of etiquette at that time, but we can make an analogy: imagine if you brought a cook who didn't even know how to eat pork to the Middle East to open a restaurant. At that time, there were unimaginable 'pork' in the scope of the so-called 'rites', and the consequences of violating them were also unimaginable.

Although the study of etiquette is important, few people can master it, because this is the most obscure and difficult to remember, and it is also the most difficult to achieve, and most smart people are unwilling and disdainful to learn it.

Regarding Wang Biaozhi's status at that time, we can imagine a barrister, a barrister who is well versed in all the loopholes and pitfalls in the law, in a group of people who know little about the law but have to use the law once every three to five days, and at the same time strictly abide by his own principles, and never do what the law thinks is 'right' and 'should be done', without taking advantage of any loopholes in the law, in this case, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of respect and status he can get.

In that era, it was Xie An's heyday, and the light of the children of the Wang family was almost completely submerged, and the only person who could participate in the highest decision-making was this Wang Biaozhi.

In his later years, he put all the books, documents, materials, writings and principles of his life and officials in a box, and passed them on to future generations, and inherited his style of this school, which was called 'Wang's Green Box Study'.

From the above description, we can see that the so-called 'green box science' is actually only a branch of the Wang family, and it is only a very small branch, but because I like the name of the green box and respect Wang Biaozhi's personality, I decided to use 'green box science' as a summary of the Wang family's martial arts.

Again, the joy of writing a novel is really there.
