Dong Zhongshu.

According to historical records.

Dong Zhongshu (179 BC ~ 104 BC), Han nationality, Han Guangchuan County (now Guangchuan Town, Jing County, Hebei Province), Han Dynasty thinker, philosopher, politician, educator. In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (134 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to solicit the strategy of governing the country. The Confucian scholar Dong Zhongshu systematically put forward the theories of "Heaven and Man Induction", "Great Unification" and "Depose the Hundred Schools and Commend the Six Classics" in "Countermeasures for Promoting Virtue and Virtue". Dong Zhongshu believes that "the great origin of the Tao comes from heaven", and nature and personnel are subject to the mandate of heaven, so the political order and political ideology that reflect the mandate of heaven should be unified. Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism maintained the centralized rule of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and made a temporary contribution to the social, political and economic stability of the time. In the first year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty (134 years ago), he served as Liu Feiguo, the king of Jiangdu Yi, for 10 years, and in the fourth year of Yuanshuo (125 years ago), he served as Liu Duanguo, the king of Jiaoxi, and resigned and went home after 4 years. After that, he wrote books at home, and whenever there was a major event in the imperial court, he would let envoys and court captains come to his house to ask his opinion, which was still valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (104 BC), Dong Zhongshu died of illness.

One is a native of Guangchuan County, Han Dynasty (now Dadong Guzhuang, Guangchuan Town, Jing County, Hebei Province), and the other is the Dong family of Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan.

Could it be that Dong Zhongshu and the people of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan Province are the same ancestor?

This statement is eight or nine points credible.

It's just that if it's just because Dong Zhongshu and the Dong family of Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan are the same ancestor, Dong Zhongshu and the Dong family of Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan Province should not be a big problem?

After all. There are many places where people from the same ancestor live, how can it be the turn of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan Province to become famous?

What's going on?

According to the people of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan, Dong Zhongshu is a member of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan.

Strange!

How could this happen?

Could it be that the people of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan Province said that this Dong Zhongshu is indeed a person from the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan, but this Dong Zhongshu is not the same person as the famous Dong Zhongshu in history.

This statement is completely understandable.

After all, there are more people with the same name and surname in the world.

In this way, Dong Zhongshu is a member of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan, so it is not surprising that it is just an ordinary thing.

However, according to the people of the Dong family of Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan, Dong Zhongshu, a member of the Dong family of Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan, and Dong Zhongshu, who is famous in history, are the same person.

What's going on?

This is a mystery, and in later chapters the author will naturally decipher it for you, dear reader.

Dong Zhongshu.

People from the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan.

A big celebrity who became famous all over the world because he first put forward the idea of "deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism". The so-called Confucianism refers to the scholars.

A celebrity who has been admired by generations of scholars, especially literati.

This is not surprising at all. Because we Chinese have always advocated "drinking water and thinking about the source".

Anyway. Dong Zhongshu, a famous person who first put forward the idea of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism", is famous all over the world. A fellow practitioner who has fought for the welfare of our scholars, especially the literati, is indeed worthy of our worship. Without their struggle, the situation of us scholars, especially literati, would not have been very good. Naturally, there will not be a situation where almost everyone who reads books nowadays.

Let us pay tribute to Dong Zhongshu, a famous man who first proposed the idea of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism". A fellow practitioner who has fought for the welfare of our scholars, especially the literati. Salute!

One bow, two bows, three bows!

Dong Zhongshu, a famous celebrity who first proposed the idea of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism", became a doctor of the imperial court because of the recommendation of a friend. It's good to have friends! Friends, your free recommendation tickets are smashed, right? Just like Dong Zhongshu was able to become a doctor of the imperial court because of a friend's recommendation. Let me feel what it's like to be a great god. Even if it's a short day or two, I'm very satisfied.

A doctor is a scholar, a director of a department or even a university president at the national level. But no matter what, Dong Zhongshu has become a national civil servant, especially if this national civil servant is still a national-level civil servant, and in the eyes of those of us who have no promising, he still has considerable achievements.

Because Dong Zhongshu became a state-level civil servant, he asked Dong Jishu to be an official in Jincheng, where the imperial court was located. The distance between Okawa Castle and Jincheng is really not close. However, the ancestral business of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan Province is not allowed to be left behind, which may also be a Confucian tradition.

This is indeed quite a problem. But Mr. Dong Zhongshu is a doctor after all, and his IQ is beyond doubt.

Mr. Dong Zhongshu solved this problem after thinking about it for a night.

Mr. Dong Zhongshu only married one wife, but this wife belonged to the super production model, and gave birth to a total of six sons for Mr. Dong Jishu. Mr. Dong Jishu named his son according to the homonyms of one, two, three, four, five, and six, combined with benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, and filial piety. Therefore, Mr. Dong Zhongshu's six sons, from oldest to youngest, are Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, Dong Wuxin, and Dong Liuxiao.

Mr. Dong Zhongshu said earnestly to his sixth son Dong Liuxiao: "Filial piety, you are filial to your father. ”

Dong Liuxiao is not a stupid person, he just looked at Mr. Dong Zhongshu quietly, looking forward to Mr. Dong Zhongshu's next words.

Mr. Dong Zhongshu said to his sixth son, Dong Liuxiao, "Filial piety, you also know your father's love for you, and you also know your brother's love for you. ”

After a slight pause, Mr. Dong Zhongshu said to his sixth son, Dong Liuxiao, in an embarrassed way: "Filial piety." Now that his father has become a doctor of the imperial court, he belongs to the national civil servant, and he needs to go to the capital where the imperial court is located to be an official, and the distance between Suxian County and the capital is really far away, but the ancestral business of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan Province is not allowed to be left behind,......。 ”

Having said that, Dong Liuxiao still didn't understand what Mr. Dong Zhongshu meant, that is, he was a really stupid person.

With a plop, Dong Liuxiao knelt in front of Mr. Dong Zhongshu. Dong Liuxiao said to Mr. Dong Zhongshu with tears in his eyes: "My father became a doctor of the imperial court and belonged to a state-level civil servant. You need to go to the capital where the imperial court is located to be an official. This is the honor of our Dong family; Suxian County is really far away from the capital, but the ancestral business of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan Province is not allowed to be left behind, and the children are not filial, and they are willing to take over the ancestral business of our Dong family on behalf of their father. I ask my father for permission, but the child will not be able to be with his father every day. Unable to fulfill filial piety. I beg your pardon!"

When Mr. Dong Zhongshu saw Dong Liuxiao kneeling in front of him, he was already relieved and listened to Dong Liuxiao's words. It was even more touching to tears.

Mr. Dong Zhongshu choked up and said, "This is my father's understanding. ”

Dong Sizhi and Dong Wuxin, under the signal of Mr. Dong Zhongshu, went up and prepared to help Dong Liuxiao, who knelt in front of Mr. Dong Zhongshu.

Who knew that Dong Liuxiao actually broke free from the support of Dong Sizhi and Dong Wuxin.

This time, not to mention that Mr. Dong Zhongshu was surprised and inexplicable, even Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, and Dong Wuxin didn't know what was going on. Everyone quietly looked at Dong Liuxiao together.

"Puff", "Puff", "Puff". Dong Liuxiao knelt in front of Mr. Dong Zhongshu and kowtowed to Mr. Dong Zhongshu three times. When Dong Liuxiao raised his head, Mr. Dong Zhongshu saw that Dong Liuxiao's forehead was bruised again, and he couldn't bear it.

Dong Liuxiao knelt in front of Mr. Dong Zhongshu, and after knocking Mr. Dong Zhongshu three times, he began to tell Mr. Dong Zhongshu: "It's not that the child is unfilial, the child is willing to take care of the ancestral business on behalf of his father, and naturally he will not shirk it, and will naturally do his best, and this father can rest assured."

Mr. Dong Zhongshu was greatly comforted, and unconsciously gently brushed the beard on his chin with his hand.

Dong Liuxiao knelt in front of Mr. Dong Zhongshu, pondered for a while, seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said to Mr. Dong Zhongshu, "It's not that the child is unfilial, and he has the intention to curse himself and his children and grandchildren, but the child is afraid that the child's son and grandson will be incompetent and unable to guard the ancestral industry, causing the ancestral industry to wither, and the child will have no face to see my Dong family's ancestors and ancestors after a hundred years.

Mr. Dong Zhongshu originally wanted to scold Dong Liuxiao, because Dong Liuxiao's words were really unlucky. But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that Dong Liuxiao's words are really reasonable, because the children and grandchildren withered, resulting in the loss of the ancestral industry There are many cases. For a while, Mr. Dong Zhongshu stood on the spot in a daze.

After a long time, Mr. Dong Zhongshu said: "Thinking of my Dong family, I have always followed the ancestral teachings, always done good deeds, and never done anything harmful to morality. After a pause, Mr. Dong Zhongshu said again: "In case that situation occurs in my Dong family, it is enough to deal with it in the same way today, and let the youngest male who has reached adulthood come over to take over."

Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, Dong Wuxin, and Dong Liuxiao are called yes.

Mr. Dong Zhongshu continued: "In order to make my Dong family descendants not forget their ancestors in the future, they must come here to worship their ancestors when they become adults, and they must not forget." Mr. Dong Zhongshu's words were addressed to Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, and Dong Wuxin. Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, and Dong Wuxin agreed again and again.

Volume 4: Dong Zhongshu's Father and Son (I) Chapter 289 Father and Son's Deep Love (Seeking Points and Receiving Rewards)

After Mr. Dong Zhongshu's decision, Mr. Dong Zhongshu's sixth son, Dong Liuxiao, took on the burden of guarding the ancestral business of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan. After Dong Liuxiao's account, Mr. Dong Zhongshu decided that in case Dong Liuxiao's descendants were unable to take care of the ancestral business of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan, the descendants of other sons could come over and take over the system. Everyone dispersed and didn't mention it.

Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, and Dong Wuxin naturally went to pack their luggage and prepared to set off from Dong's house in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan Province the next day. Rush to the capital where the imperial court is located.

Mr. Dong Zhongshu and his sixth son, Dong Liuxiao, father and son, had an unexpected dispute. Mr. Dong Zhongshu meant that in addition to the necessary entanglement, the rest of the assets were naturally left to Dong Liuxiao, because Dong Liuxiao undertook the burden of guarding the ancestral business of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan, and required a lot of expenses. But Dong Liuxiao insisted on refusing, thinking that Mr. Dong Zhongshu was the first time they went to the capital where the imperial court was located, and they were not familiar with the place, and there were many places where they needed to spend money. After all, this kind of thing is not good to trouble Dong Zhongshu's friend who recommended Dong Zhongshu, and others recommended you. You should be grateful for it. How can you drag others down again?

As a result, the dispute between Mr. Dong Zhongshu and his sixth son Dong Liuxiao was actually Dong Liuxiao's victory. Although Mr. Dong Zhongshu raised his hand high and made it look like he was going to hit Dong Liuxiao, he gently patted Dong Liuxiao's shoulder when he raised it high. Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, and Dong Wuxin were also moved by Dong Liuxiao's actions.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning. Mr. Dong Zhongshu's family said goodbye. Since then, Mr. Dong Zhongshu of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan Province, has been divided into two veins.

Mr. Dong Zhongshu took Mr. Dong Zhongshu of the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan, in addition to the family of his sixth son Dong Liuxiao. Starting from Dong's house, Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan. Climb mountains and wade along the way. It's been a lot of hard work. Dozens of people, mighty, after a period of time. Finally, he arrived at the capital where the imperial court was located within the time limit set by the imperial court.

On the second day of arriving in the capital, after a night's rest, Mr. Dong Zhongshu, who was in high spirits, set off. Mr. Dong Zhongshu is going to report to the relevant departments of the imperial court today. On the street, Mr. Dong Zhongshu and his entourage, led by a guide hired for a tael of silver, rushed towards the imperial court's officials.

When he arrived at the entrance of the imperial court's official department, Mr. Dong Zhongshu was excited. Rubbing his eyes, and then rubbing his eyes, Mr. Dong Zhongshu was inexplicably excited, and his happy expression was unobstructed. The guide hired by Mr. Dong Zhongshu and his party at the cost of one or two pieces of silver was disdainful of Mr. Dong Jishu's actions, "I haven't seen anyone in the world!" Mr. Dong Zhongshu and his party thought to the guide hired at the cost of one or two pieces of silver.

Later on is the routine. After Mr. Dong Zhongshu provided the relevant vouchers issued by the imperial court to report for duty, the staff of the imperial court quickly issued Mr. Dong Zhongshu an official uniform, a house, and a settling-in allowance in accordance with the standards stipulated by the imperial court.

Mr. Dong Zhongshu was in high spirits, and his family, led by an official of the imperial court, marched to the residence allocated to him by the imperial court. When they arrived at the front of the residence of Mr. Dong Jishu allocated to the imperial court, Mr. Dong Zhongshu's family, men, women and children were all dumbfounded. Just because the imperial court is also real, I didn't expect that Mr. Dong Zhongshu would take office alone and almost come to the capital with his family, and there was no allocation for Mr. Dong Zhongshu A larger residence, and it is already the limit that this residence can accommodate more than ten people.

Fortunately, due to Dong Liuxiao's insistence, Mr. Dong Zhongshu and his entourage brought a lot of silver money from the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan, because the silver money that Dong Liuxiao left in the Dong family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan Province was only a silver coin that could cope with the expenses. If you have food in your hands, you don't panic, and it's better to do it with money in your hands. After a short search, Mr. Dong Zhongshu's family bought a large mansion near the residence of Mr. Dong Jishu allocated by the imperial court to dozens of people.

After such an incident, Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, and Dong Wuxin were very moved by Dong Liuxiao's feelings of caring for his family, and at the same time, they also admired Dong Liuxiao's information. On the contrary, Mr. Dong Zhongshu was very unhappy because of Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, and Dong Wuxin's evaluation of Dong Liuxiao's things like a god, because Dong Liuxiao's things are like a god, if it is really like Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, and Dong Wuxin's evaluation of Dong Liuxiao, the future of Dong Liuxiao's family in Dongjiazhuang, Haowen Town, Dachuan City, is not very dangerous!

Mr. Dong Zhongshu's family has since settled down in the capital where the imperial court is located, and they have branched out in the capital where the imperial court is located.

The white horse passed by in a few years, and it passed in a blink of an eye.

Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, and Dong Wuxin have all achieved success in their studies, and through their own efforts, they have become national-level civil servants on a par with their father, Mr. Dong Zhongshu. For a time, the Dong family became a big hit in the capital.

When the day of ancestor worship was approaching, Dong Yiren, Dong Aiyi, Dong Sanli, Dong Sizhi, and Dong Wuxin were approved by the imperial court and obtained the approval of their father, Mr. Dong Zhongshu, that is, they wanted to rush to their hometown of Dong's family in Yonglejiang Township, Benjiang County, Suxian County, Hunan, to worship their ancestors. A group of dozens of people set off from the capital where the imperial court was located, and they quickly stepped up, which was naturally different from the situation when Mr. Dong Zhongshu came to Jincheng to take office. In just a few days, Suxian County City is visible in the distance.

When the officials of Suxian County saw the officials of the imperial court coming down, they always had to do their best to be the landlord. A small banquet is naturally essential.

Dong Liuxiao was sitting in the hall of his home, thinking about how to worship his ancestors in a few days.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. There was a lot of sound of horses' hooves, and the sound was extremely loud.

Dong Liuxiao's thoughts were interrupted by the unexpected sound of horses' hooves, and he had to think about the reasons for the unexpected sound of horses' hooves. "Is the merchant's horse team?" Dong Liuxiao himself immediately denied his own speculation, "Dachuan City Haowen Town is not a traffic important place, will the merchant's horse team pass through here?" Besides, the merchant's horse team runs so fast, isn't it afraid of exhausting the horses to death?" "Are you chasing the fugitives?" Dong Liuxiao guessed again, "But listening to the sound of horses' hooves, it is extremely noisy, obviously there are at least dozens of horses to have such a big movement, and even hundreds of people are possible, what kind of fugitives need to dispatch dozens of tolerances to chase them?
