From the moment he saw the bamboo slips, because he had words as an intermediary, he knew the era he was in, and there was a comparison between Mandarin and Qin Tutu, and Qin Yu instantly seemed to have opened up the second vein of Ren and Du, and began to quickly adapt to the life of this era. He speaks more, and his words are much clearer and more standard than before.

No, it's too standard, especially when talking about Yayan, the eldest mother of the Qin family has praised Qin Yu's Yayan more than once and said that it is better than the little gentlemen living in Xianyang City.

His literacy is even faster and more accurate, and the eldest mother of the Qin family is called born smart, and whenever this time, his mother will smile softly beside him: "On the eve of the concubine giving birth to my child, there is a white fish in her arms, and the next day when the sun is shining in the sky, she gives birth to her child, which is extraordinary." So Qin Yu's mother has always doted on him and called him Bai Yu'er.

Relying on the favor of the two female elders in the family, once when the eldest mother of the Qin family was drying bamboo slips, he helped spread out the bamboo slips on the side, so that each piece of bamboo slips could fully bathe in the sunlight and kill the moths and molds born inside.

At this time, he was already three years old, and he also knew hundreds of Qin character seals with his literate mother, and he even listened to his mother's family tree countless times and knew the origin of his family.

He asked his eldest mother in a milky voice, casually with a hint of curiosity: "Eldest mother, since the great-ancestor is surnamed Zhao, why is our family the Qin family instead of the Zhao family?" Although his eldest mother let their brothers and sisters memorize the genealogy, but did not explain why the Zhao family became the Qin family, he went to ask the eldest brother Chuan if he knew, thinking that this was his own secret that was not passed on, only the kind of elder, the eldest mother only told the eldest brother Chuan, did not tell a few of them younger, or he was too young to know when he missed the test. As a result, Chuan, who was the eldest brother, was even more at a loss than him, and asked him why he asked this, what the eldest mother said was what it was, just remember it, no need to ask more.

Qin Yu was speechless for a moment: Big brother, are you too honest, and you are too heartless, aren't you curious about the origin of your surname?

Since Chuan didn't know, it meant that the eldest mother hadn't said the reason for the change at all, Qin Yu was really curious, how did his family change from the bloodline of the Qin royal family to the marginal bloodline, so he found such an opportunity, and asked when the eldest mother said the ancient again.

When he asked, he looked directly at the eldest mother, so he saw the unnaturalness on the eldest mother's face for a moment, and he saw it clearly.

But there was only this moment of unnaturalness, she stroked Qin Yuyuan's bald little head, and said lovingly: "Your eldest father is weak and can't go to the battlefield to fight for military exploits, after your great-ancestor died of illness, our family became a family without lords and officials, so I simply moved out of Xianyang City." Your great-grandfather said on his deathbed: Since there is no blood of the Zhao family, it is better to change the country to the clan. Therefore, our branch is surnamed Qin. After saying this, the eldest mother seemed to be unable to bear it, her face was gray, her lips trembled, and she claimed that she was a little tired, so she went back to the house to rest.

That back, how to look at how lonely.

Qin Yu was silent.

He rubbed the three words Zhao Jichang on the bamboo slip with his chubby round fingertips, and exhaled a long breath.

He probably understood what was going on.

Zhao Jichang, in later generations, in the textbooks, he was called Ying Jichang, and only one line appeared, explaining his identity, he was the second son of Qin Xiangong, the younger brother of Qin Xiaogong, and the rest, there was no more.

There is no year of birth and death, no specific or incidental deeds, just such a line of words, like all living beings, silently disappearing in the long river of history.

As one of the only two sons of Qin Xiangong, Zhao Jichang only had a plain explanation, neither recorded his exploits nor his bad deeds in the history books, and there was no scum at all, which can only show that this is a very mediocre person. is so mediocre that only the identity of the prince of Qin can be attached to his father's dedication record.

It can be imagined that more than a hundred years ago, when Wei Ying came to Qin to change the law, how the old nobles in Qin opposed the Shang Yang reform, they were not against the rich country and strong army brought by the Qin State reform, but against the aristocratic privileges lost because of the change - from Shiqing Shilu to the military merit system!

The military merit rule stipulates that even if the children of the royal family do not obtain the military merit title from the battlefield, they cannot have a knighthood and cannot enjoy the glory of nobility.

The old nobles of the Qin State were in an uproar! They are royal nobles, they are born noble, and they must go to the battlefield to cut off people's heads like the leaders of the Qian, in order to maintain their status and glory as nobles, if they don't go, then they can only be regarded as a wealthy family, not a privileged nobleman.

The title cannot be inherited, even if you have earned military merits, even if you have the existing farm house in your hand, if your children and grandchildren do not have military merits, they will be nationalized after their death, and their children and grandchildren will not get anything except a little wealth, which is the biggest reason why they try their best to oppose the change of the law!

The law can be changed, but it can't be such a change.

This is a real death and death, a hundred!

Of course, the Shang Dynasty Reform Law was successful, and it has been successfully implemented for more than 100 years, and the national strength of the Qin State is thriving, which is enough to prove that the Shang Dynasty Reform Law is correct and will help the Qin State to become stronger.

The Qin State is strong, and the old nobles who were eliminated by the Shang Dynasty may not be better.

Qin Yuchai said that their family, or Zhao Jichang's branch, was defeated like this.

The change of the law is not completed all at once, it is a process, and this process has lasted for more than 20 years. Zhao Jichang, as the younger brother of the monarch, if he did not offend his monarch brother in death, or intentionally or unintentionally violated the laws of Qin, in the early days when the Shang Dynasty reform began to be implemented, even if he did not go to the battlefield, his life should be noble and prosperous. But with the implementation of the changes step by step, Zhao Jichang's dignity can be preserved, but his descendants are not like this.

Qin Yu identified the contents recorded on the bamboo slips one by one.

Zhao Jichang has a total of three sons-in-law and seven concubines, except for Qin Yu's eldest father, who is the youngest son and was able to stay with his father to wait, his other nine elder brothers were all killed in battle.

Nine sons, all killed in battle!!

Should they say that they were unlucky, or were they too mediocre to go to the battlefield and could only die, and not even one of them came back alive?

Zhao Jichang said that he died of illness, I'm afraid he didn't die of distress, right?

This can be understood, what is the unnaturalness on the face of the eldest mother when she talks about the past. The eldest mother said that Qin Yu's eldest father was weak and couldn't go to the battlefield, I'm afraid it wasn't that he couldn't go to the battlefield, but that he wanted to send his father to the end of his life, and he couldn't go to the battlefield, or maybe he didn't dare to go to the battlefield, right?

After Zhao Jichang's death, his only remaining young son became a common man.

To say that the royal family surnamed Qin Guoying watched Zhao Jichang's vein end so tragically and indifferent, it was not so ruthless and ruthless.

At that time, King Qin Huiwen, who had already been crowned king, still took pity on his uncle, and he gave his cousin, Qin Yu's eldest father, a good land and a mansion in Xianyang City, and wanted to treat him well.

Qin Yu's eldest father accepted the reward of King Huiwen, but he did not leave a penny himself, and gave all the money to the wives and children of his nine elder brothers, but he left Xianyang with the sacrificial utensils, money, grain, cloth, books and other assets left by his father, and moved to the place where Zhao Jichang was born and grew up to live, and according to his father's last words, changed the Zhao family to the Qin family.

This is the ins and outs of Qin Yu's surname.
