Pharmacist Li was very excited when he said it, but Li Quan's face became more solemn the more he listened. Hearing him say this, Li Quan said in a deep voice: "Child, you are so nonsense! ”

Pharmacist Li was puzzled and hurriedly asked, "Daddy, but what did the child do wrong?" ”

Li Quandao: "Do you know who your sister-in-law Li's family is?" ”

Pharmacist Li said: "The child doesn't know. ”

Li Quandao: "Let me tell you, her family is Xianbei, and her original surname is Sudouling. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented sinicization, and ordered the Xianbei clan to change the surname Hu to the Han surname, and the Sudouling clan changed the surname to Dou. Your sister-in-law Li's father is from Jingzhao's family lineage, and his surname is Dou Mingyi. ”

When Pharmacist Li heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Dou Yi, the former commander of the Imperial Dynasty, the eldest princess of Xiangyang, the imperial sister of Emperor Wu of Shangbei Zhou?" That's the powerful gate! Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law Li's mother turned out to be a member of the royal family of the former dynasty. As everyone knows, the powerful and high-ranking families, the royal family of the previous dynasty, actually chose a son-in-law in this way! ”

Li Quandao: "It would not be surprising if you knew that his family was originally a Xianbei surname. ”

Pharmacist Li said: "Brother Li can marry with the surname Xianbei country, and his own family background must be extraordinary, but the child did not hear him mention it. ”

It turned out that the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were the most important era in Chinese history. The "overseas Chinese surnames" and "Wu surnames" in the Southern Dynasties, and the "national surnames" and "county surnames" in the Northern Dynasties, controlled almost all the political power and economic interests in society. Marriage between clans and families of different classes was a shocking event. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, although the division of social classes was not as severe as during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the atmosphere of focusing on family still existed. Therefore, as soon as Pharmacist Li heard about the Dou family's family history, he immediately concluded that Li Dibo must also be born in a high rank.

Li Quandao: "Li Dibo does not mention his family background, perhaps he intends to hide it. Child, do you know the current Tang Guogong line? ”

Although Pharmacist Li didn't understand why his father suddenly mentioned Tang Guogong, he still replied respectfully: "The child knows." Tang Guogong has the same surname as us, and I heard that they are both from the Longxi family. His family was one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the former Northern Zhou Dynasty and even the current dynasty still held the title of Duke of Tang State. "Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian usurped the throne of the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty, which was strongly supported by the middle family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the dignitaries of the previous dynasty, such as the Li family, were still powerful in the Sui Dynasty.

Li Quan nodded and said, "Do you know who Tang Guogong is now?" ”

Pharmacist Li replied: "Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, is the nephew of the current Queen Dugu. The child heard that he had lost his father at the age of seven, and that he had already become a knight in the previous dynasty. After the founding of our dynasty, he still received the title of Duke of Tang. Queen Dugu took pity on him for being young and dear to him. ”

Li Quan nodded: "Yes, Tang Guogong's mother and the current queen are sisters, and they both have the surname of Xianbei, so Tang Guogong also has half Xianbei blood." Child, do you know the name of Tang Guogong, if you pronounce it in Xianbei language, how to pronounce the Fa? ”

At that time, not only was Queen Dugu Xianbei, but the royal family Yuwen of the former Northern Zhou Dynasty was also a Xianbei family, so the high-ranking magnates all competed to learn Xianbei language. Pharmacist Li was born in a family and knew some Xianbei language, so he replied without thinking about it at the moment: "The word 'yuan' in Xianbei language can be read as 'Debo', or 'Dibo', or ......."

He suddenly couldn't say any more, and looked at his father dumbfounded. Li Quan nodded slowly: "Yes, your eldest brother Li Dibo is the current Tang Guogong Li Yuan." And his so-called ancestral property is actually an ancestral grave. Li Quan paused, and looked at Pharmacist Li: "Now, can you admit nonsense?" ”

Pharmacist Li didn't believe it: "Daddy, Tang Guogong and we are also from the Li family in Longxi, how can there be an ancestral tomb in Zhao County?" ”

Li Quan sighed: "Child, this is the reason why Daddy is in a hurry to find you. You think, my family went out of Longxi and moved to Jingzhao Sanyuan for only a few generations, and I have not lost contact with my hometown in Longxi. Longxi Li's family has five rooms, one is called Chengji, the second is Wuyang, the third is Guzang, the fourth is Dunhuang, and the fifth is Danyang, we are the descendants of Danyang Fang. On the genealogy of Longxi, there is no Tang Guogong's family! ”

The more Pharmacist Li listened, the more he didn't understand, but he vaguely knew that what his father was going to tell him must be a shocking event, so although his heart was pounding, he forced himself to suppress and listen to his father's words. I saw my father inspect the study for a week, and after making sure that there was no one else, he whispered: "Child, not long after my father came to Zhao County, he found out about Tang Guogong's family. His family claims to be from the Li family in Longxi, but he has an ancestor in Zhao County, isn't it a contradiction? Daddy has been paying attention to this matter for a long time! ”
