Chapter 83: The Family Knife Bearer
[An important measure related to gate valves in the early Tang Dynasty was the promulgation of the Chronicles of the Clans.
From the end of the Wei and Jin dynasties to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the door valve of the family was cut to pieces by the strong soldiers, and on this basis, the door valve of the family gradually changed to the surname of the scholar family, and on this basis, four interest groups were formed.
After the Yongjia Rebellion, the scholars of Nandu still flaunted themselves with the famous clans of the Central Plains, calling them overseas Chinese surnames, among which the more famous ones are Langya Wang, Chen Jun Xie, Lanling Xiao, etc.,
In the south, we are more familiar with the local surnames, and the four surnames of Wu, Zhu, Zhang, and Gulu, who fell in love with each other with 100,000 brothers, also flourished at this time.
The surname Jiangdong looked down on the overseas Chinese surnames in Nandu, calling them barren and fathers, and ridiculed them as savages who should be laughed at by the world.
But in the end, the two sides still have a common language in terms of interests, and the two sides are collectively referred to as the Jiangzuo Shi clan.
The two sides spent about 240 years of honeymoon, and Hou Jing had married King Langya and Chen Jun Xie during the Southern Liang Dynasty, but Hou Jing was humiliated because of his identity as a member of the Liang tribe, so he made a feud.
Later, Hou Jing went south to conquer Jinling, and then killed the wealthy scholars as dogs, and after the Western Wei State conquered Jiangling in the last years of the Southern Liang Dynasty, the remaining scholars were captured like pigs and taken to Guanzhong.
The Jiangzuo clan existed in name only.
In the north, after the eloquent Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented the Sinicization policy, he took Henan County, Luoyang, Kyoto as the county, and the Xianbei nobles also changed to the Han surname Shi clan, called the Dai Bei Shi clan.
Among them, the prominent surnames are Changsun, Yuwen, Yuan, Dou, and Genji.
In addition, the ancestors of the Chinese Yuan clan were Qiang people, and the Northern Wei Dynasty defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao, Tuoba Tao accepted this Qiang people, and ordered to say "Qing and I Yuan are the same, because of the matter of the surname", so the name Yuanhe.
Four hundred years later, the treasury of the Wa Kingdom was empty, and Emperor Saga, faced with fifty children who could not afford to raise, demoted 32 princes and princesses from the imperial family name to the vassals, and the surname was planned to copy Tuoba Tao and give the surname of Genji, so the Japanese Genji has nothing to do with the Chinese Genji, and it is 400 years later in history.
Forty years after the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Quan Chen Erzhu Rongxiao referred to history and launched the Heyin Rebellion, massacring the Northern Wei royal family and the Daibei Shi clan.
The Daibei Shi clan collapsed.
The other two are the Guan Shi clan and the Shandong Shi clan, which are relatively simple in comparison.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the six surnames of Yang Du in Guanzhong merged with the Hedong clan to form the Guanzhong clan, and the Northern Wei Dynasty further changed into the Guanlong Jungui group, and Yang Sui and Li Tang were both born here.
It is natural for imperial power to suppress local power, so the contradictions between the two sides manifested during the Sui Dynasty, and by the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Guanlong group had become Guanlong Xungui by relying on the imperial power.
From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Shandong scholars maintained the tradition of lecturing and learning Confucianism, and the five surnames and seven wangs represented by the Tang Dynasty were chaotic and did not fall, and because of the stable environment of the Tang Dynasty, they became more and more prosperous.
Erfeng's suppression of the Shandong Shi clan can be seen in the "Clan Chronicles", which was criticized by name when the Zhenguan was completed in the twelfth year of cultivation:
The Shandong Shi clan is all about selling their daughters to get rich, can you be a little ambitious?
Some people are puzzled by this, saying that Erfeng is so famous, what's the use of this? Bo Ling Cui was also in the first gear, and the dark box operation was reduced to the third class.
Is it because you can't marry someone else's daughter and hold a grudge? And can this still affect whether you can be an official?
But this is right, "Chronicles of the Clan" can really influence officials. γ
The light curtain said clearly and clearly, and Zhang Fei also distinguished this kind of thing very clearly.
I saw him snap his fingers and say:
"Then Sima Yi used dirty means to kill the old Cao family, and a group of families got together and became Jin, right?"
"As a result, in troubled times, the families were divided into four batches."
"The one in the south was killed by Hou Jing, and the one in the north was killed by this Er Zhurong."
"As a result, the east and the west fought together for a whole Tang Dynasty, and finally were cleaned up by the Huang Chao and the one named Zhu Wen?"
Kong Ming was shocked:
"Yide, although what you said is a bit vulgar, but ......"
"But that's right, isn't it?" Zhang Fei was smug.
Kong Ming nodded in admiration, he looked stupid, but in fact, he had great wisdom, and he should be talking about something like Yide.
Then he looked at this Jiangzuo clan and looked at it, and finally shook his head:
"It seems that the four surnames of Jiangdong may have sold the Sun family for a good price in the end."
From what the light curtain said before, it is only known that Jiangdong eventually died due to chaos, but no one knows where the chaos started.
But a hundred years have passed, and the four surnames have been long and have not seen the Sun family, and it should be a dirty thing to come to Jiangdong to return to Jin.
Pang Tong has no nostalgia for Jiangdong, just a little sad:
"Jiangbiao's plan to swallow the world only became a plan for four private households."
"Chibi talked and laughed and destroyed Cao's army, a hundred years of wind and clouds passed, and Hou Jingzhi's chaos swept Jiangdong."
Kong Ming gently patted Pang Tong on the side as comfort, but Pang Tong smiled and didn't mind.
Liu Bei, who was at the top, looked at the source of Genji of the Wa Kingdom and frowned:
"This Wa country across the sea can actually know the allusions of my Han land four hundred years ago."
"I admire the Central Plains so much, why don't you know what etiquette and righteousness are, and you are a bull-headed and horse-faced disciple?"
Zhang Song said in a sharp voice:
"Lord, this state is polite and ignorant of righteousness, but it is just a monkey and a crown!"
"It must be because of the greatness of China, so I am ashamed of myself."
"Yes! From the fact that he has added honorific titles to himself, we can see his ambition! In the past, Mu Zhonghua was strong and could kneel on the ground, but he was in turmoil and rebelled! β
"Isn't this behavior like that Sima Yi?!"
Ahh Liu Bei was silent, he shouldn't compare that Sima Yi, right?
After all, now Sima Yi is only in his thirties and Cao Cao is still alive, so there should be no disobedience.
If he knew about the behavior of the Japanese slaves, he would definitely scold them.
But from the bottom of his heart, Liu Bei felt that most of what Zhang Song said was right.
Pang Tong sneered: "Just like feeding an eagle falcon with meat, hunger is used, and when you are full, you will be gone." β
Zhang Fei scratched his head and wondered:
"They are like beasts, and they don't have Buddhism like India."
"There shouldn't be that elite in the next generation, right?"
β¦β¦
"If there is something good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom."
Li Shimin slowly repeated this sentence, thoughtful.
Wei Zheng was very considerate and said to Li Shimin:
"In the things that are below, according to their deeds. Therefore, the likes and dislikes of the above must not be careless, and it is the expression of the people. β
Li Shimin squinted with disgust: It's not that I haven't read the Book of Rites!
How can this be admonished by seeing stitches?
He just drifted a little far away for a while, from the emperor's point of view, Buddhism and Taoism are just means, who believes in that thing?
Xiao Yan believes in Buddhism, and he doesn't know if he asks for the next life, but it is true that he has become a joke in the next life.
However, the policy is controlled, the effect is followed, and the words and deeds must be effective.
It seems that whether it is the Buddha or the Tao, this imperial power must stay away from it, so as not to be used to swagger and deceive without knowing it.
As this book of rites says, the superior is also the example of the people.
But...... Seeing the text behind, Li Shimin's eyes were condensed again:
The battle between Guanzhong and Kanto? Is it so exaggerated?
As for the statement that the light curtain divided the scholar clan from the Wei and Jin dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty into four families, Zhenguan and the ministers were also very curious, and after bowing their heads and thinking for a while, they began to look at each other, and secretly judged in their hearts which group the other party belonged to?
Fang Xuanling didn't care so much, he just had a thought:
This is not a ready-made material for writing the Book of Jin?
Li Shimin couldn't sit still:
"I said earlier that I was careful, and here I slandered my disciples for being vain!"
But there was not much anger in the words.
Although these two are not good words, he can hear the tone of the light curtain when he says it.
Later generations did not regard him as a high emperor, but talked about his great career, his life, and his merits and demerits with a level-headed attitude.
It's like talking to someone about an elder of oneself, talking about his merits without hiding his faults, and declaring his virtues and talking about his shortcomings.
This attitude made him feel a little more comfortable, so he smiled and said to the left and right:
"Sometimes I really want to catch this junior from the light curtain and put a few boards."
The eldest grandson Wuji also smiled:
"Why do you think so?"
"If it weren't for the thousands of years between them, the ministers would also like to be able to sit and drink with them and listen to the prosperity of the future generations."
"It's a pleasure to think about."
[First of all, we must correct the first misunderstanding: the five surnames and seven wangs of the Shandong Shi clan in the early Tang Dynasty were not the later "forbidden marriage families".
The five surnames and seven wangs are Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui, Qinghe Cui, Fan Yanglu, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang.
Among them, the Li family and the Cui family each have two wangs, with a total of five surnames, so they are called five surnames and seven wangs, and the strength of the Cui family can also be seen.
In the early days, the five surnames and Qiwang were also very willing to marry the royal family, and even had a stammering posture, after all, Erfeng's knife was too fast at this time.
Before Zhenguan, Qinghe Cui You sent a daughter to the palace, and Erfeng hastily sealed it as a talented person, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and this Cui Cairen didn't leave more records.
About eight years of Zhenguan, at that time, there was a folk rumor that Xingyang Zheng had a woman "with a beautiful appearance", and the eldest grandson queen sent someone to visit, and asked Erfeng to register it as a full yuan, and Erfeng quickly issued an edict.
Chong Yuan is the last of the nine concubines, there are four ladies and a queen above, and the harem is the thirteenth, so it can only be said that the starting point is okay, but it is not very important.
But at this time, Wei Zheng stood up and said that he heard that the Zheng family had received the dowry from Lu Shuang of the Lu family, had signed a marriage contract, and had not yet passed the door, and asked Erfeng to cancel the edict.
In the end, Lu Shuang came to Chang'an to ask for guilt, saying that the wealth given by the Lu family at that time belonged to the red envelope, and any dowry and marriage contract were all false.
But no one paid attention to him at that time, because this matter spread at that time and became a debate about the emperor's "etiquette", and finally Li Shimin canceled the edict and reinstated Zheng to marry Lu Shuang.
From these two things, it can be seen that the so-called five surnames and seven wangs at that time were almost in a state of "standing like a minion" in front of Erfeng.
And to leave us with the impression that "the scholars and the big names of the scholars look down on Li Tang and are unwilling to marry", the main reason is that Erfeng is too fierce.
Before the Song Dynasty, the logic of the struggle for the rights of the aristocratic class was the struggle between the imperial power and the big surname, and the big surname of the scholar clan in the early Tang Dynasty was weak, so the imperial power was strong.
The result of the strong imperial power is that most of the princesses of the Tang Dynasty act unscrupulously and have a reputation, and for the family, marrying a princess is equivalent to integrating the imperial power into the family fight, and they are naturally unwilling.
Acting toughly, such as Princess Pingyang, led the soldiers and horses to guard the Weize Pass in Shanxi when she fought the world, so later this pass was called Niangzi Pass.
behaved absurdly like Princess Yongjia, married Dou Fengjie, but soon after he had an affair with his nephew Yang Yuzhi, yes, Yang Yuzhi's mother, Princess Changguang, was Princess Yongjia's sister.
Later, Princess Changguang died early, and the two were still like glue during the mourning.
But Dou Fengjie was a military general in the early Tang Dynasty, full of martial virtues, and later killed Yang Yuzhi with five punishments after grabbing the bag, and reconciled with the princess.
More powerful, such as Princess Taiping, openly kept male pets in the house, and later controlled the government and seized the throne in a coup d'Γ©tat, but she failed and was executed.
Later ones such as Li Bao'er, Princess Yuzhen, Princess Shengping, Princess Xianmu, etc., will be talked about later when there is a chance.
And the topic returns to the Zheng family in Xingyang, the eldest grandson empress behaved like this, and our descendants guessed that it should be arranged in advance.
After all, he died only two years after this incident, so there should be some speculation about his physical health.
After the death of Empress Changsun, Wei Guiren wanted to follow Empress Changsun and fill the harem for Li Shimin's beauty pageant.
Then the martial artists entered the palace because of this, but that's another matter. γ
In the evening, I will try to write more today, and I am grateful for the love of my grandfathers.
