Chapter 16: Ancestral Suppression
"Yu Shun, our ancestors, how dare you forget it!" Tian Dan gave Tian Jian a respectful salute, and his tone was serious.
The Tian clan originated from the state of Chen, and the monarch of the state of Chen was surnamed Fei, a descendant of Emperor Shun Yao Chonghua. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, he visited the descendants of the previous emperors, found the descendant of Emperor Shun of the Yu Dynasty, married his eldest daughter Taiji to him, and sealed it in Chen Zhizhuye (now Huxiang Town, Zhecheng, Henan), and later moved the capital to Chen Zhiwanqiu (near Huaiyang, Henan), so that he could guard the ancestral worship of Yu Shun, and was the first Shun Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The jurisdiction is roughly eastern Henan and Bozhou in Anhui. According to the regulations of the Tuming clan, the country is the clan and is called the Chen clan. Then he was Chen Hou, nicknamed Hu Gong. Hu Gongfei was born on the 15th day of October in the ninth year of the reign of King Shang (1067 BC), reigned for 60 years, and died on the 15th day of the first month of 986 BC. Chen Hugong is the ancestor of the surnames Chen and Hu, and the ancestral surname of Chen and Hu is the surname Yao. When Wang Mang was called emperor, he was posthumously named King Chen Hu.
In 545 BC, Tian Huanzi, the fourth grandson of Tian Wan of the Chen dynasty, joined forces with the Bao clan, the Luan clan, and the Gao clan to eliminate the Qing clan of the Qi state. After Tian's family, Bao's Luan's extinguishment, and Gao's second family. Tian Huanzi aligned the princes of the country with "all the sons and grandsons who have no luck, and divide them privately", and "the poor and widows of the countrymen are private and millet", and won the support of the princes and the people.
When Qi Jing was in office, the office was corrupt. Tian Huanzi's son Tian Qi (Tian Wuyu's son, that is, Tian Xizi [3]) used a big bucket to lend and a small bucket to recycle, so that "the people of Qi returned to it like flowing water", increasing the household registration and strength. It is said that "the public abandons its people and returns to the Tian clan". In 489 B.C., the Duke of Qi Jing died, the Duke of Qi and the Gao Er clan established the son, Tian Qi chased the country and the Gao Er clan, and set up another son, Yangsheng, and established himself as the prime minister.
Since then, the Tian clan has been in charge of the state affairs of Qi. In 481 BC, Tian Heng (Tian Chengzi), the son of Tian Qi, killed Qi Jiangong and many other princes, set up another Qi Pinggong, further controlled the power, and won the hearts of the people with "rewarding the cultivation of the public". In 391 BC, Tian Chengzi IV Sun Tian and abolished Qi Kanggong. In 386 B.C., Tian He exiled the Duke of Qi Kang to the sea, established himself as the monarch, and in the same year was appointed as the Marquis of Qi by King Zhou An. In 379 BC, Duke Qi Kang died, and Jiang surnamed Qi was exterminated. Tian still takes "Qi" as the country name, and is known as "Tian Qi" in history.
As for Wang Mang, alas! He is Tian Jian's descendant, in the Western Han Dynasty, in order to control Qilu, so the Qi Zhutian moved to Guanzhong, and most of the people at that time also changed their surnames.
"In this way, the widow wants to ask Uncle Wang, the ancient kings regarded benevolence as beauty, and now the cause of death of thirteen members of the Chao family is not clear, Uncle Wang, are you so reluctant not to repay justice?" Tian Jian lamented.
"This..."Tian Dan was dumbfounded.
If Tian Jian used other reasons, Tian Dan could have refused, but who would have thought that the king would use his ancestor Yu Shun to talk about things, didn't this make him uncomfortable?
If Tian Dan said no, it would undoubtedly be a denial of Yu Shun's benevolence, and a denial of his ancestors, in this world where blood is supreme, when such remarks came out, Tian Dan was sad when he thought about it.
Even if he is the famous An Pingjun of the Qi State, he will inevitably be disliked by the world. Because the status of the ancient kings has been elevated by Confucianism to the level of saints.
You can deny Tian Jian, you can deny the current King of Zhou He, but you can't deny the Duke of Zhou, and you can't deny King Wu of Zhou, because they represent justice, even if it is the Warring States era when etiquette and music collapsed, there is still ethics between people.
Just like the later Ming Dynasty, civil officials sprayed Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di fiercely, but in the Jiajing period, they said that they would follow the old system of their ancestors, isn't this ridiculous?
But this is not ridiculous! The farther away you are, the more successful people beautify!
"Uncle Wang, is it really..."Tian Jian looked at Tian Dan angrily with a painful expression.
"We're willing... Past! Tian Dan nodded fiercely, his heart is now collapsed, your lord, you don't play cards according to common sense! If you talk about your own ancestors, I'm afraid you're the only one!
"Uncle Wang understands righteousness and is admired by widows!" A kind smile appeared on the corner of Tian Jian's mouth.
"Alas!" Tian Dan sighed speechlessly.
"Ying'er, would you like to go to Fengyinyi with the widow?" Tian Jian turned his head to look at Tian Ying, who was wearing a yellow shirt behind him, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a cheek that could move people's hearts, and a smile could sink the fish and the goose.
"Me?" Tian Ying's eyes were a little flustered, she looked at her mother Tian Jia nervously, and when she saw her mother nodding hesitantly, she also nodded lightly.
Tian Jian's smile became brighter and brighter, "The habit of eating the mulberries that the widow gave you, if it is not enough, send someone to give it to you." ”
Mulberry? Tian Ying thought of the mountains of mulberries in the boudoir, and wanted to cry without tears, she was not a pig, how could she eat so many mulberries, "No... No, Your Majesty. ”
Tian Jian's brows tightened, "Isn't it to your liking?" ”
"No, it's too much." Tian Ying smiled reluctantly,
When his subordinates do things, it is inevitable that they will exaggerate, Tian Jian just said to send some mulberries, but he didn't expect that Wei Qing to send so much!
......
Lightly painted eyebrows, there was joy between the eyebrows, the white bandeau in the dark purple sleeved dress revealed a little, and the slender eyebrow pencil accidentally slanted to the top.
"Shu'er, you're messing up again." There was a thin anger on her face, but in the bronze mirror in front of her, her eyebrows were bent.
"Sister, have you forgotten the etiquette given to you by the queen mother? Be calm and angry. Mi Shu held the little white fox in her hand, pinched her swarthy little nose, and said jokingly.
"Then you forgot what the Queen Mother gave you?" Qi Ya glared at Qi Shu, holding the water lightly, slowly soaking her jade face, she usually disdains to dress up, but Ling Yin has already set off, no accident, in a few months, she will go to Qi country.
Before going to the Qi Kingdom, she had to learn everything her mother had given her in these hours, and the big and small in the palace would also need her to care about it in the future, and she had to know it, which was her duty as a queen.
"I'm not married!" Mi Shu smiled, and the little white fox whimpered a few times in her arms, because she was not as comfortable and soft as Mi Ya's arms.
"A woman, after all, has to marry a man." Miya sighed faintly, in a trance, she was about to reach the age of putting on her wedding dress.
"Men?" Doubts flashed in Mi Shu's eyes, "What do you want a man to do?" ”
"You'll find out in a few days." A hint of blush flashed on Miya's face, a few days ago, her mother showed herself those embarrassing things, but it made her blush and red for a long time.
