Chapter 618: The Great Chinese Empire
Huangling County, Shaanxi.
Huangling County is located in the north of central Shaanxi, although the traffic here is inconvenient, the geographical conditions are relatively general, but because it is the most well-documented one among the different opinions about the hometown of the Yellow Emperor, it is famous in the world.
Everyone in the world knows that the Yellow Emperor started from Jishui, but they don't know where it is.
In 1942, Huangling County's application for changing its name was approved by the central government, and since then it has been 'known all over the world'.
Huangling County celebrated vigorously, when repairing the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, it encountered a big problem, the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is easy to repair, but the descendants of the Yellow Emperor can't find it, even if it is far-fetched, it can't be justified.
The mood of the political axe of Huangling County at that time, not to mention how complicated, how they envied Qufu, the Confucian Temple or something still existed through the ages, the Confucian family was also passed down from generation to generation, no matter the change of dynasty, natural disasters [***] did not break people's incense. Qufu is the real one that the world hears.
However, according to the oral accounts of some local elders, there should be a 'direct descendant' of the first generation of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in Huangling County, but it may not be surnamed Gongsun, but Sun or Ji.
The results of the investigation show that there are really many families surnamed Sun and Ji in the local area, and they all have some origins, but it is too much to talk about involving the Yellow Emperor.
In this way, the matter of the direct descendants of the Yellow Emperor is over.
May 15, 1952, Huangling County.
A Zhonghua taxi sped by, speeding along the road.
"Master, please try to drive as fast as possible."
Maybe it was the cowardice of his hometown, Sun Boren, who was dressed in military uniform, urged the driver to drive faster again and again, although the new appearance of the county town that kept flashing on the side of the road shocked him, but it was not as good as another thing in his heart that shocked him.
Last night, the 95-year-old lady actually called him personally, and he didn't say anything, just urged him to go home urgently, as the eldest son of the Sun family, 45-year-old Sun Boren had to give up his dream of becoming a doctor when he was young, but became a soldier.
From the Anti-Japanese War all the way to becoming a lieutenant of the Imperial Space Force, Sun Boren can be regarded as a successful career, and what is even more rare is that as a 45-year-old young middle-level officer of the Space Force, it can be said that he has a bright future.
The old lady's emergency call made him feel very anxious, although the old man was injected with the old man's type of genetic medicine, his life expectancy increased, and his health improved, but after all, he was a 95-year-old person, and the effect of the drug was estimated to be not so good...... So he took emergency leave and rushed home overnight, and he returned to Huangling County shortly after dawn.
"Master, please stop at the gate of the courtyard in front of you."
Sun Boren had already seen the big courtyard of his house, and was startled by a large group of people at the door, his peers in the family had actually arrived, and they were still waiting for him.
"Boren, you're the latest, haha!"
"I'm on official business, not faster than you, hehe."
Everyone greeted Sun Boren and asked him to hurry up and ask the old man to say goodbye.
The Sun family is a big family, the ancestral hall and the ancestral tablet are not falling, and the rules are very strict, Sun Boren even heard of lynching in the clan when he was young.
He doesn't know how big the Sun family is, but he knows that every year during the Chinese New Year, other people's families are one table or two tables, and their Sun family is dozens of tables, and the New Year is even more exaggerated.
This is not all, in addition to the New Year's swing, Qingming is a bigger event, every Qingming banquet without thousands of people can not say, even if it is the economic development in these years, young people are busy with their own affairs, but the Qingming ancestor worship has never been simplified.
Not long ago, Sun Boren also took leave to come back to participate in Qingming. For the family, after the changes of the times, the Qingming ancestor worship is integrated with the annual sacrifice to the ancestors.
The Sun family is not very rich, but the children and grandchildren are prosperous, and there is no shortage of family wealth, and the two big feasts every year are not all paid by the main house of the Sun family, but everyone makes it together.
"Grandpa!"
Sun Boren turned around and entered the small courtyard twice, and came to the old lady's room, which was very quiet and there was no one.
As usual, Sun Boren knelt directly at the door.
"Come in."
The voice of the old lady came from the house.
Sun Boren pushed the door and entered, and found that the room was very bright, several windows were wide open, the old man was sitting at the top, and the eight immortal chairs on both sides were sitting with people, and the old men of the eight major departments of the Sun family were actually there.
It's such a big battle, you didn't make a mistake, right?
Sun Boren felt a sigh in his heart, walked in carefully, and stood with his head bowed.
The old man's name is Sun Changshan, although he is 95 years old, but his spirit is excellent, there is a reason for genetic medicine, and the old man is in good health, he also joined the army when he was young, and he also entered North Korea with Wu Changqing before the First Sino-Japanese War.
In Sun Boren's memory, his grandfather was very majestic, not only he was afraid, but the entire Sun family was afraid of him when he feasted twice a year.
"Boren, what do you think about the imminent implementation of the imperial system?"
The old man asked majestically.
When Sun Boren heard this, he was stunned in his heart, and after thinking about it again and again, he said carefully, "Sun Er thinks that this is the general trend of the world......
"So you're supporting?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
Sun Boren nodded firmly, if it is true that he is afraid of the old man, then it is also true that he supports the chairman of the committee to ascend the throne and become emperor.
"Alas, in the long river of surging history, this magnificent country has always been the residence of the capable, Chairman Zhang Shusheng loves the people like a son, and has peerless miracles for the Chinese nation, he is not the emperor Yanjing can not say. Good support, good support.
There are some things that you should know. ”
Old man Sun Changshan waved his hand slightly, and then, Sun Boren saw his old father and several uncles walking up with a large pure copper box, the thing was very heavy, with the genetically modified bodies of several of them, they were actually very difficult to lift, it can be seen how heavy this big guy is.
Everyone carried the box to the old men and stepped aside, and the old man Sun stepped forward from his seat and said, "You have all asked me many times why our Sun family's genealogy is only more than 50 generations, and there are no others.
In fact, the genealogy of our Sun family has always been sound, not only the original genealogy of the oldest period, but also the genealogy of all generations of clansmen is also complete.
This is the complete genealogy of the patriarch. ”
Sun Changshan took out a close-fitting copper lock, squatted down and opened the copper box, and with a creak, the ancient copper box was finally opened.
Everyone stared at it, and the first thing they saw was not a family tree, but a few jade boxes.
Sun Changshan took out a jade box and opened it, and there was actually a bamboo slip inside.
"This is a main genealogy compiled by the ancestor of Sun Wenzhou in the Han Dynasty, come, Boren, you read it to everyone, and see who the ancestor of our Sun family is."
Sun Boren hurriedly stepped forward to take it, coughed twice, opened the bamboo slip, and looked at the familiar ancient characters on it, he opened it and read it accurately, but he seemed to be stupid.
"The main genealogy says that the ancestor recorded by our Sun family is ......"
"Who is it, Beren, read it quickly."
"yes, read it quickly!!"
…… Sun Boren took a deep breath, and then read aloud, "The ancestor of the Sun family is the first, Gongsun Xuanyuan." ”
"What!!"
"How is that possible!!"
"This ......"
"Big brother, this, is this true?"
"Uncle, is this true?"
After a long time, Sun Changshan waved his hand and said, "These are all true, there are genealogies compiled by the patriarchs of the past dynasties in the box, and the jade box with green markings, you can all open it and take a look, it is all a transcript, in order to protect these genealogies, you must not arbitrarily turn over the jade boxes marked by other colors." ”
Everyone hurriedly looked through it, and sure enough, on each genealogy compiled in different eras, the origin of the compiler was clear, and there were many references, but this genealogy compiled by the patriarch himself pointed to an old ancestor, that is, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.
After a long time, when the old man announced that the Gongsun family supported Zhang Shusheng's decision to ascend the throne, would disclose the family's secrets, and handed over some things to the state, everyone dispersed, and agreed to hold a grand family banquet on the basis of the establishment of the empire, and all the eight major departments of the Gongsun family would participate.
Sun Boren stayed, and the old man had more important things.
"The contents of these three boxes are up to you to hand over to Chairman Zhang Shusheng. You open it and take a look. ”
Old Man Sun said kindly.
"It's okay to open it up, right? Grandfather. I've heard that many antiquities can't be opened casually. ”
"It's okay, you open it, the ancestor's belongings, hum."
Sun Boren washed his hands first, and then carefully opened the first longest box, and was startled on the spot.
"This ...... Grandpa, this, is this the legendary Xuanyuan Sword??? ”
Sun Boren couldn't believe his eyes, but this bronze ancient sword, the shape is extremely simple, not to mention, there are actually two ancient characters engraved on it, he naturally recognizes it, there are these two words in the family ancient text he learned since he was a child: Xuanyuan!
"This is the ancestor's sword, Xuanyuan Sword!"
Sun Changshan said with emotion.
Subsequently, Sun Boren opened two other boxes, one box contained some materials, some were jade, some were pebbles, everything, but none of them were mortal, but they were enough to prove the cultural relics of the Gongsun family.
Inside the other box is actually a huge jade seal, the print is very simple, engraved with the word Xuanyuan, but there is a mysterious and simple beauty.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
Sun Boren wondered.
"This is the Yellow Emperor Seal of the ancestors, back then, the ancestors held the Xuanyuan Sword in their hands to fight, and ordered the hundred tribes to rely on this Yellow Emperor Seal, and the hundred tribes surrendered, and they did not dare to obey."
Sun Changshan asked Sun Boren to hand over the Xuanyuan Sword and the Yellow Emperor Seal to the state, to be exact, to Zhang Shusheng.
