A pedigree is a book used to record the lineage of a family. Beginning with the Yellow Emperor, the earliest records were limited to emperors and princes, and when the family appeared, it continued to the family.

The family has lasted for hundreds of years and has many lineages, so in each family's education, memorizing the pedigree is a basic education.

When the sons of the family intersect and talk to each other, they will talk to each other about the genealogy, because there are so many families in the world, and they have marriages with each other, going back to several generations, they can always find relatives, teachers and students, classmates and colleagues, etc., once they have something in common, it is easy to chat with them.

Therefore, in this era, it is much more difficult to disguise yourself as a nobleman than Zhao Liusi thought, it is useless for you to create your own genealogy, if you don't have that spider-web in-law as proof, it is easy to laugh and be generous.

And the genealogy of the family takes a long time to complete, such as Zhao Liu, a small family in the borderlands, starting from Zhao Qi, has worked hard, and there are a few big names within five generations, I am afraid that they can barely have the opportunity to talk to those families. Otherwise, if you want to be a little brother with someone, people won't be willing.

Sometimes, the connotation and heritage of what you do are more important than money.

Zhao Liusi had been popularized by the teacher invited by Liu Sheng before, and knew some basic common sense, but now that he saw that the "physical evidence" was complete, Yan Ran's bearing did not seem to be a fraud, so he knew that he had worked hard to make a big trap, maybe, maybe, really...... Mistaken.

"How so!" Zhao Liusi raised his forehead, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”

"First of all, of course, because I'm here to investigate the case, of course I have to hide my identity, otherwise people will know, and I will investigate something." Yan Ran said with a wry smile, "Another thing is that my identity is actually not allowed to go out of Beijing. If you are caught by the local administrator, you will basically be killed. ”

"Why is that?" Zhao Liu was puzzled, "Didn't you say that you were just an ordinary concubine?" Why can't you even leave the capital? ”

"That's a long story," Yan Ran scratched her head, "You can understand that I was originally going to be imprisoned as a criminal minister, but because of my mother, the emperor pardoned my sins. But for the sake of my regeneration, they gave me a ban, and if I didn't have a holy decree in this life, I wouldn't be allowed to leave Beijing. ”

"Who are they?" Zhao Liusi felt that Yan Ran had something to say.

"You have to go, keep me, save me, harm me, hate me." Yan Ran said with a wry smile, "Their attitude towards imprisoning me is surprisingly consistent, which is why I was given this strange grounding order. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Zhao Liusi was very curious.

"That's a long story." Yan Ran hesitated.

"No matter how long it is, I have to say it...... Do you know how much trouble a miscommunication can cause! Like this time, do you still hope that this misunderstanding will happen again today? Zhao Liusi said unhappily.

"Okay." Yan Ran thought that she had even said the identity that she shouldn't have said, and there was no need to hide other things, so she sorted out her thoughts and said slowly to Zhao Liusi.

At the beginning of the story, it starts with Yan Ran's family background, his ancestor is a powerful character, leading the countries to overthrow the tyranny, and finally although he encountered the fruits of victory by various countries and caused chaos in the world, but with the outstanding efforts of him and his son, it finally took thirty years to assist Ming Jun to pacify the world.

It's just that Gaozu probably spent too much brain power when he was young, and he was jealous of talents, and died of illness shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, his son is also outstanding, inheriting his father's IQ, and is a good hand in internal affairs, occupying the position of prime minister, and building the Yan family into a super-first-class wealthy family.

By the time Yan Ran's father arrived, the Yan family was already so noble that the emperor would marry his daughter personally. If it weren't for the fact that he was an only son, I was afraid that the emperor would be eager to send a few more princesses to the Yan family.

However, the Yan family has a very strict family education, so Yan Ran's father Yan Xiao has not grown into a gentleman, and he is still an honest and good boy. However, compared with his amazing father and wise grandfather, he is too mediocre, and even more mediocre above his literary talent, if it is not for the excellent martial arts, it is really useless.

Yan Xiao's father was still very worried about this child. But he is a smart person after all, and he will not suppress his children too much, so Yan Xiao's life has been very smooth since he was a child, even if he proposed not to follow literature and martial arts, but to fight the world on the frontier, he still got the support of his father, and step by step, he changed from an ordinary captain to a general. And after the death of his father, he was named the Great Sima.

Yan Ran has a very deep memory of his father, although it was all something that happened when he was very young, but I don't know if it is because he often thinks about it, he always feels as clear as yesterday.

"My father is a very good-tempered person, tolerant and generous, loving soldiers like a son, I was very naughty at that time, even if I occasionally made mistakes and smashed things, and my mother was angry and wanted to beat me, he would always protect me, speak for me, and say that children are not naughty, and it will be good to be sensible when they grow up." Yan Ran said softly, with a little nostalgia in his eyes, "He remembers that every person who was born and died with him, he would go to see these people and their families for a long time, and he was the master book and the soldiers around him, and he was even more eclectic in promoting talents." As long as he thinks that he is talented, he doesn't care about their origins, temperament, and character, and treats them with courtesy, Uncle Jing said, which is why he can be mediocre and lead troops to fight but win many battles. ”

"Uncle Jing?" Zhao Liusi found that this name appeared extremely frequently in his mouth.

"Well, he was my father's partial general, from a poor family, and later was recommended by my father as an official, and after my father left, he has always taken care of me and told me a lot about my father. Although Wan Niang often smiled and said that he admired his father too much, so he said that his father was good everywhere, but Wan Niang herself admitted that her father was a rare good person. Yan Ran said with a smile, and when she mentioned these two people, her expression became very gentle.

"Wan Niang?" Zhao Liusi turned his head sideways to look at Yan Ran's smiling eyes, "She also knows your father?" ”

"Of course." Yan Ran laughed, "She is my father's concubine, of course she knows my father." ”

"What about your mother?" Zhao Liusi asked puzzledly, Yan Ran's narration mentioned many people, but he lacked his biological mother, the famous eldest princess.

"Mother, I don't like my father very much." Yan Ran's smile narrowed a little, with something indescribable, "She was originally not very satisfied with this marriage, she was smart and beautiful, she was arrogant since she was a child, where did she think that when she became an adult, she was pointed out to her father as his wife." Even if everyone said it was a match made in heaven, she wasn't too happy. ”

"She said," Yan Ran smiled self-deprecatingly, "My father only inherited one face from the Yan family." ”

Zhao Liusi looked at Yan Ran's face, and didn't know what to say for a while.

It's no wonder that Yan Ran hasn't liked others to talk about his face very much, and there may be factors in this regard.

"When I was born, my grandfather was already dead, and I didn't see my grandfather and my grandfather, I only heard that they were both beautiful men who made women all over the world flock to me." Yan Ran smiled self-deprecatingly, "The emperor's grandfather has always felt that he has done a good deed, he thought that his mother liked beautiful men, so he pointed out the best one to his mother, but he didn't know that his mother liked the connotation more." ”

She couldn't even talk to her father. She didn't want to hear what her father said about hunting on horseback. She said piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her father couldn't understand it. Sometimes the mother laughed with the maid, and the father went in, and the laughter stopped, and the room was empty, embarrassing and frightening. ”

"My father had a good temper and was always tolerant of my mother, but she hated him because he was wrong in everything he did. In the end, her father stopped bothering her, he said that it was not easy for his mother, and he couldn't give her anything else, so let her be quiet. ”

"If the disagreement in living habits is still a trivial matter, then the disagreement in political views is a chasm that is even more difficult to reconcile." Yan Ran closed her eyes, "My mother is the eldest daughter of the emperor, and she is resourceful, and she has been the backbone of her brothers and sisters since she was a child. She is good at giving ideas and loves to give ideas. She hoped that her father would be more competitive and more enterprising in the court, but her father didn't like this. ”

"My father, though not very smart, was not a fool. The Yan family's merits are high enough, and it is not a good thing that the limelight is too strong. Before his grandfather died, the will he gave him was not to revitalize the family business, but to tell him that it was enough to be a simple, happy and worthy person. Therefore, he has something to lead troops to fight, has nothing to do to raise horses for hunting, does not participate in any court battles, and when someone asks to come to him, he only asks about right and wrong, regardless of position. ”

Therefore, he did a lot of things that his mother didn't like, especially before the Battle of Chiyue Mountain, after his father angered the emperor by speaking for a group of scholars who were arrested and imprisoned, and was stripped of the post of Great Sima, the conflict between the two reached its peak. The first and last time I saw them fight like that. ”

"My father didn't care about the dismissal, he thought that he was not suitable to be a big Sima, and he got that position, but also because of the grace of his ancestors, virtue was not worthy, and he was wiped down, so that the position was given to a more suitable person, which was beneficial to the country and the people. Her mother was furious because she didn't consult her before she went to school. ”

"Besides, she was originally the eldest princess, and her husband changed from the head of the hundred officials to Bai Ding, she will definitely be ridiculed by the princesses, and she can't stand that grievance."

"My father didn't care about losing his official position, but he was also very sorry for embarrassing his mother, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to participate in the Battle of Chiyue Mountain."

"I often think that at that time, if there was no dismissal, that quarrel would have been great."

"If he is still a big Sima, then he only needs to formulate a war strategy, instead of personally leading the troops, and he will not disappear from the battlefield." "If he hadn't quarreled with his mother, then he had just been dismissed, and no one would be cheeky enough to ask him to be a Sima and participate in that war as an ordinary general, then he would only be idle at home, and he would not die."

"But who knows, everything happened so coincidentally. He was dismissed, they quarreled, and for the first time, he wanted to go to a certain official position and establish a meritorious service, so that his mother would not lose face in front of the princesses, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to participate in the war. ”

"Then, he died outside the Yumen Pass and never returned to the capital."

Then, someone reported that his father collaborated with the enemy and treason, and in his father's absence, "the evidence of the crime was conclusive", and the Yan family was raided and reduced to a civilian. "

"Mother reconciled with him as a princess and left the Yan family."
