Text Chapter 185 The Xia Clan
The vast voice sounded in Li Jun's ears......
The Great Wind Calendar is 5941.
Shenzhou, the Great Han Dynasty, Sili Hedong County, Jishan Tingfulong Village, Wenxi County.
"The Great Wind Calendar began with Emperor Fuxi. The ancestral emperor looked up at the celestial phenomena, looked down on the geography, got the dragon and horse turtles, arranged the innate gossip, and determined the calendar according to the five qi of the heavenly time. Because of the ancestral emperor's wind, it is called the Great Wind Calendar, which is made after the innate gossip, also known as the Bagua calendar. β
In the grass house, a weak-crowned young man knelt on the couch, holding a roll of bamboo slips, and was reading aloud. The boy was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face was not handsome, but his eyes were burning and shining. He was slender, dressed in navy blue with wide sleeves and collars, and his hair was loose, and he sat upright in the middle of the house.
"It's a magical world." The young man put down the bamboo slip and sighed slightly. It has been sixteen years since he came to this world, and he has read the bamboo slips of "The Chronicles of the Dragon" over and over again in his hand, but he has never been bored. Reading again and again, subverting the worldview that he had spent 30 years forming in his previous life, gave him the illusion that he was in a dream, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies.
His name is Xia Yi, a person from Fulong Village, and a distant side branch of the Fenglong Xia clan.
The Fenglong Xia clan has a long history, which can be traced back to 3,000 years until the time of the Holy Emperor Yu Shun. The Yellow Emperor had an heir, Sun Shu'an, who was sealed as a mash land, so he was called Shu An. Uncle Moromi has a son, who is Xia's father. Xia's father was good at raising dragons, and when Emperor Shun learned about it, he recruited Xia's father to raise dragons for him, and was given the surname Xia by Emperor Shun, from which the Fenglong clan came.
The surname Xia in the world is also based on this.
Xia's father is the land of Emperor Shun's dragon, which is the bank of the Skull River in the north of Wenxi County, Hedong.
Today's Xia Chipi is where Xia's father is located. Therefore, Wenxi County has become the ancestral land of the Fenglong Xia clan. For thousands of years, the Xia clan has spread its branches and leaves, making the branches and veins in the east of the river numerous, and the side branches of the Xia clan are as many as cow hair. There are even clans that derive surnames.
For example, Guan Long's, Guan's, Long's.
Guan Long's Tong Feng Long clan, hence the name. And the Guan clan and the Long clan are the branches that are further differentiated from the Guan Long clan.
The ancestral land of the branch of the Guanlong clan is in Fengyi County, north of Wenxi County. The most famous ancestor of the Guan Long clan is Guan Longfeng, and Xiao Yi came from this. The ancestral land of the Guan branch is in Xie County in the west of Wenxi. The ancestral land of the Long's branch is in Pishi County, northwest of Wenxi.
Although Xia Yi was born in the side branch of the Fenglong clan, he was not much different from the ordinary people of the Han Dynasty. There are not 1,000 but 800 side branches of the Xia family, and the side branches in his side branches are nothing. But fortunately, his family is a small landlord, with 1,000 acres of fertile land, and there is still a little industry in the county, so his life is passable, but he has no special status.
"Big brother, big brother!" Just when Xia Yi was out of his mind, a crisp shout came from his ears. Xia Yi came back to his senses, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Cuicui." He put down the bamboo slip, and before he could stand up, a small figure threw himself into his arms. This is his sister, Xia Cuicui.
"Hehe, big brother is reading again? Cuicui wants to listen to the story. The little girl twisted in his arms.
Xia Yi laughed: "Girl, this will be noon, right?" It's time to go home for dinner. He knew that Cuicui must have come to call him home for dinner.
When Cuicui heard this, she immediately pursed her little mouth, and her little face was full of reluctance.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you a story in the afternoon, okay?"
"Big brother is the best." The little girl immediately smiled.
Xia Yi rubbed the horn on his sister's head, hugged his sister and stood up. This total horn is the common hairstyle of uncrowned teenagers and unmarried girls in the Han Dynasty - one hair is tied into two buns, one left and one right, as if there are two small horns on the head, so it is called the total horn.
Xia Yi was only sixteen years old and had never been crowned, but he felt that this hairstyle was too naΓ―ve and not suitable for him, so he wore his hair after the age of twelve, and he didn't want to tie his horns anymore.
Shoved the bamboo slip into his sister's hand, Xia Yi carried her out of the cottage, not fast or slow, and went home.
Xia Yi's family is the only landlord in Fulong Village, and his father Xia Cheng is also the village leader, and the family has some wealth, so this house is very good. It is a big mansion, with an obvious Han Dynasty style one by one, thick and atmospheric!
High walls, high gates, and two stone pixiu towns in front of the door.
But Xia Yiping didn't like to stay in such a compound. It's not that the yard is bad, but because of the high wall, it seems to be separated from the outside world, and there is a sense of difficulty
Straight.
Therefore, he studied and practiced martial arts, mostly in the grass hut on the side of the house.
Holding my sister to the front of the courtyard, I entered the house and met the two family members, and the family said to the young master. Xia Yi nodded with a smile and walked towards the main mansion.
Although Xia Yi's family is the landlord of Fulong Village, their ordinary behavior and reputation are good. At least, within a few dozen miles of the vicinity, in terms of the rent for farming, it is the lowest. And it is usually very good to the villagers and people, and some gifts and benefits are also distributed during the New Year's holidays. Therefore, the villagers and the family members are very respectful.
The atmosphere at home is also very harmonious. Father Xia Cheng has a wife and two concubines, Xia Yi is the eldest son, and his sister Xia Cuicui and five-year-old younger brother Xia Lin are concubines. Parents and aunts also respect each other like guests, and there is no kind of intrigue in a big family.
Therefore, Xia Yi has lived a very easy life in the past 16 years.
After walking a short distance, he bumped into the housekeeper Xia Fu head-on. "Ouch, my eldest young master, my lord has been waiting for a while.
"Fu Ye." Xia Yi put down her little sister and made a bow respectfully.
Although Xia Fu is only the housekeeper of Xia Yi's family, his status is extraordinary. Xia Fu's lineage, since Xia Yizu became a landlord, has always been the most important helper in the family. And Xia Fu also saved the life of Xia Yi's father Xia Cheng, Xia Chengping called him 'Uncle Fu', naturally Xia Yi's grandparents, Xia Yi has to be called 'Lord'.
Xia Fu smiled, and he didn't even dare to say anything, but the happiness on his face could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
To be honest, Xia Fu is indeed very good to Xia Yi, and it can be said that it is too good. Let's not talk about the big aspects, every bit of ordinary life, this 'Fu Ye is meticulous in taking care of. Therefore, Xia Yi respects him so much, not only because he is an old man in the family, but not just because he once saved his father.
But Xia Fu is a person who knows opportunities, although the old and young masters in this mansion regard him as an elder, but he has always kept his duty. For example, at this moment, he bowed slightly, followed Xia Yi, half a step behind, to show his humility.
"Young master, the old master may have something to explain later," Xia Fu said as he walked: "After that, the young master himself has to think about it carefully, and then make a conclusion." The young master has been smart since he was a child, and it stands to reason that the old slave should not talk too much, but this matter is not a trivial matter.
When Xia Yi heard this, his footsteps paused slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Fu Ye, what is the matter?"
Obviously, Xia Fu knew. However, Xia Fu shook his head and didn't say: "This is a big deal, the old slave can't talk much."
"That's it." Xia Yi shook his head. Fu Ye is such a person, he will never say anything without his father Xia Cheng's personal instructions. Even Xia Yi is the same. As he spoke, he arrived in front of the main house in the courtyard.
"Young master, come in, the lord and the lady have been waiting for a while." When he arrived here, Xia Fu stopped and said to Xia Yi.
"Let's eat together, Master Fu."
Xia Fu shook his head and said with a smile: "There is a difference between master and slave, and there are other things for old slaves." With that, he turned around and left.
Xia Yi shook his head: "Fu Ye is always so stubborn." The sister next to her nodded as if she didn't understand: "Well."
"You know what, little one." Xia Yi nodded his sister's little nose, picked her up, and walked in.
In the hall, his father Xia Cheng sat upright, and on the side, his mother and two aunts, as well as his younger brother Xia Lin, were also present.
"Father, mother, aunt!" Xia Yi put down his sister and respectfully made a gesture one by one. Although their family is only a small landlord, they still have to abide by the rules that they should abide by. Of course, it's not so strict. For example, now, it is impossible for two aunts to sit and eat together with their father and mother as concubines.
Father Xia Cheng is a serious person, at least this is how he looks. He nodded slightly, asked Xia Yi to sit down, and said, "Eat."
Without saying a word, the family of seven ate quietly, and his father Xia Cheng called Xia Yi to the study.
In the study, father and son sat opposite each other at the desk. "Yi'er, you're seventeen years old this year." This is talking about a false age.
Xia Yi nodded.
"Your younger brothers and sisters are still young, and you can share your father's worries at home."
Xia Yi said: "If the father has something, the son will do his best."
Xia Cheng bowed his head, his eyes showed a hint of relief, and he said: "You know, our family is from the Fenglong Xia clan, although we don't know how many generations have passed from the direct line of Fenglong, but the bloodline is there after all."
Xia Yi listened and thought about it. Xia Cheng continued: "The Fenglong Clan has continued for more than 3,000 years. For more than 3,000 years, the Fenglong clan has been able to inherit continuously, and it has relied on our side branches. β
"What does Father mean?" Xia Yi couldn't help but say.
"If the Fenglong Xia clan is a big tree, and the direct line is the trunk, then our branches are the branches and leaves. In times of emergency, the branches and leaves need to be paid for the big tree.
"Father, is there something big going on?" When Xia Yi heard this, his heart couldn't help jumping.
"Yes," Xia Cheng took a long breath and said, "The Great Han Dynasty has unified Shenzhou since four hundred years ago, and the Imperial Dragon Liu clan has been the co-lord of the Son of Heaven.
Xia Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Change is imminent, and if I want to continue to do so, I must make corresponding actions." Speaking of this, Xia Cheng's eyes were scorching, he looked directly at Xia Yi, and said: "At noon, there is news from the main vein of asking Xi, and I am willing to participate in the Shu clan's branches. After thinking about it for the Father all morning, I decided to leave this matter up to you. β
"You are now successful in martial arts, rational and virtuous, although your reputation is not obvious, but if you go out of Fulong Village, you will definitely be able to achieve something. Although the father does not care how you glorify the lintel, the father knows that although you are plain, your ambition is hidden.
Xia Yi listened, and couldn't help but smile on his face. Father understands him very well!
Then he said, "Father, what is the matter about?"
Xia Cheng smiled slightly, knowing that his son had already made a decision, so he said: "The main vein is ready to nominate the children of the Xia clan from various branches as officials and generals, and strive to seize more strength at the time of change, so as to ensure that my Fenglong clan can survive the difficulties of change."
"So Yi'er, how do you choose?"
"For the general!" Xia Yi didn't think about it, and blurted out.
"Why?" Xia Cheng couldn't help but say.
"It is not only change, but also the struggle for force is the general trend. If in the prosperous era, civil officials are better than military generals, but if they are in a turbulent era of change and force, they have more advantages as military generals. Only by grasping the key point of force can we take the initiative in the midst of change. β
It is an immutable truth that power comes out of the barrel of a gun. Although Xia Yi didn't think about any political power, since the imperial dynasty has been declining, it is obvious that a change of dynasty is imminent. At such a moment, it is not bad to be a civilian strategist, but it is not as good as the real military power in his hands.
Xia Yi has been waiting for this day for a long time!
Martial Arts Ha Luo
"Because you have made a decision, you will not say much more as a Father."
When Xia Cheng heard this, his eyes flashed, and his face showed satisfaction: "My Fenglong Xia clan is now in the imperial dynasty, and there are two pillar stones. One is the Empress Dowager Xia, the biological mother of today's son, and the other is Xia Zhuo, the captain of the Western Regions. β
When Xia Yi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Empress Dowager Xia?
Xia Zhuo? !
These two Xia Yi can be described as thunderous, especially Xia Zhuo and Xia Zhongying!
In the memory of Xia Yi's previous life, Empress Dowager Xia seems to have died in the hands of Empress He and her brother He Jin, and Xia Zhuo, needless to say, in Xia Yi's world, those who don't know this person at the age of twenty or thirty are considered to be lonely and unheard.
A generation of powerful ministers, coercing the world!
At the pinnacle, it was only half a step away from the supreme throne!
Of course, Xia Zhuo at this time was far from that level. But he is already a general of one party, and he is said to be the pillar of the clan, which is a little too much, but it should not be underestimated. Becoming a lieutenant in the Western Regions is not a simple military position, and now the Western Regions is the protector of the government, and all the soldiers and horses are controlled by him, and his actual power is not worse than that of General Du Liao and General Zhonglang of the Huns. It's just that in terms of official positions, it is a lower level.
Hearing his father Xia Cheng talk about it, Xia Yi suddenly remembered these two people. Before this, Xia Yi had never thought that these two people were also from the Fenglong Xia clan!
However, it is not unreasonable to say that the Xia clan in the world is from the Fenglong clan, there is no doubt about it.
"Empress Dowager Xia was born in the Xia branch of Hejian County, Jizhou, and Xia Zhuo was born in the branch of Longxi County, Liangzhou. Now Empress Dowager Xia is the head of the harem, and Xia Zhuo is the commander of the garrison in the Western Regions of the Imperial Dynasty. The meaning of asking the main vein is to follow the path of these two. If you want to enter politics, you will be contributed by the Empress Dowager Xia, and if you want to join the army, you will have to go to Xia Zhuo. β
Xia Yi nodded, his mind turned, and said, "Father, when will you take office?"
Since he wants to join the army, according to his father, he must start as a junior soldier under Xia Zhuo. Under whose hands, he doesn't care now. Whether it's Xia Zhuo, or anything else, it's all the same, as long as you can have the step to advance.
Although Xia Zhuo's final fate was too miserable in his memory, there seemed to be no future for Xia Zhuo. But Xia Yi is not superstitious about his own memories. This world is not the world of memory. Although there are great similarities in the development of characters and historical contexts, there are essential differences.
If nothing else, just talking about the pattern and area of this world is completely contrary to what I remember.
The main body of civilization in this world is the land of Shenzhou, where the Han Dynasty is located. The land of Shenzhou is vast and boundless, with Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Liangzhou, Sili and the 14 major prefectures of the Western Regions.
Each state is extremely vast, and the smallest one is 100,000 miles long. In addition to these fourteen states, there are also Nanban, Beidi, Xirong, overseas and many other regions, and their vastness is almost incalculable!
For example, Hedong County, where Xia Yi is now located, originally belongs to the Sili Prefecture and is located in the east and north of the big river. Crossing the river to the southwest, it is Chang'an, and to the southeast, it is Luoyang. However, to travel from Hedong to Luoyang or Chang'an, the distance is more than 35,000 miles!
And the world in my memory, the area where Hedong is located, is only a few hundred miles away from Luoyang, Chang'an!
In other words, this world, more than that world, is at least a hundred times bigger!
Besides, the Xia Zhuo in his memory is not the Fenglong Xia Clan, and there is no support from any forces behind him. But this Xia Zhuo is standing behind the dragon Xia clan.
Naturally, it is impossible to generalize.
Above all, this world is extraordinary.
What does it mean to be extraordinary?
Extraordinary power!
Martial arts!
This is the most essential difference between this world and the world in memory!
Martial arts have a long history, according to Xia's "Fenglong Zhi", tracing back to the roots, it can be traced back to the period of the ancestor of the Suiren clan.
That is, 40,000 years ago!
Martial arts began to burst out with dazzling light from that time, until the time of Fuxi Ancestor Emperor and Nuwa Ancestor Emperor, the martial arts path was completed, and then it has continued to this day.
The gate valve clan of the Great Han Dynasty, as long as there are roots, each family has its own unique martial arts inheritance.
Martial arts practice to a high level, there is the power to destroy the city and destroy the country, and the ability to fly to the sky!
With such a huge difference, it is natural that this place cannot be compared with the world in memory.
Memory can be used as a reference, but if you follow the memory, you will suffer a big loss!
"It's going to have to wait."
Xia Cheng said: "Since you have decided to join the army, then your father must report the quota to the main line, and the main line will have its own arrangements." When the main line is arranged, you can go to work. β
Xia Yi nodded, put the matter aside for the time being, and said, "Father, you said that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was in the middle of the day, but the child didn't notice anything over the years.
"Hehe,
Xia Cheng said with a smile: "This Hedong County is the ancestral land of my Fenglong clan, and the four places of Wenxi, Xiaoyi, Xie County, and Pi Clan, as well as the surrounding areas, are all under the direct influence of my Xia clan. With the Fenglong clan in charge, there will naturally be no chaos. But how big is Hedong? After all, you haven't walked out of Hedong, and if you don't see enough, of course you can't see it. Do you know what the region looks like now without the Great Clan's ancestral land?"
Xia Yi concentrated.
"Since Emperor Guangwuxiao two hundred years ago, with the help of various clans, set things right and suppressed Wang Mang, a branch of the concubine surname, the clan has become more and more involved in politics. In the past few decades, the Yulong Liu clan has had many unworthy descendants, which has gradually corrupted the politics of the imperial dynasty. He also used eunuchs and relatives to compete for power and profit with the clan, so he did not tolerate the clan. β
Hearing this, Xia Yi nodded slightly.
The clans of this world are even more powerful than the families in the books of that world in their memories!
