Pharmacist Li was shocked and said: "Pretending to be a noble family? Dad, although the Li family in Zhao County is not as famous as my Li family in Longxi, it is not a poor family after all. Then why did Tang Guogong pretend to be my Li family in Longxi?"

Li Quan shook his head and said: "Dad doesn't know the reason, so he can only speculate. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Tang Guogong was not named Li. Did you know?"

Li Yaoshi replied: "My child knows that his family name was Daye at that time. Since Tang Guogong was one of the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty, he must naturally be of the Hu tribe or bear the Hu surname. The current royal family hereditary Sui Guogong in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, at that time Pu Liuru was named

The surname was changed back to Yang in the late Northern Zhou Dynasty. It seems that Duke Guogong of Tang also changed Daye's family to Li at the same time."

Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty vigorously promoted Hanization, which caused dissatisfaction among the Hu people and led to the Six Towns Change, which divided Wei into the east and west.

The Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty were compatible with the Hu and Han Dynasties. Culturally, the Guanzhong they led was regarded as the center of Chinese civilization. In terms of military preparation, the government army system was implemented to restore the martial spirit of the Hu people.

This policy of being compatible with Hu and Han, and emphasizing both civil and military affairs, finally achieved the unification of the Northern Dynasties, and then enabled the Southern Dynasties to run.

At that time, the status of Fubing was very high, and only a strong man from the Hu tribe or Hu surnamed from a middle-class or above family near Gyeonggi Province could be honored as a Fubing.

Zhu Guo is the commander-in-chief of the army, so naturally he must be of the Hu tribe or have the surname Hu.

The Yang family of the Sui Dynasty was given the surname Pu Liuru in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Everyone knew about it at that time, and this matter was not an undiscussable royal privacy.

Li Quan looked deeply at his son and said with a smile: "That's right. Everyone knows that the surname Pu Liuru of Hu has been abandoned, and the surname of Pu Liuru has been changed back to the Han surname Yang. When it comes to Tang Guogong, he said, "Change the Daye family to Li family."

, instead of saying ‘change back’ to the Li family.”

The more Pharmacist Li listened, the more frightened he became. He looked at his father in panic: "Dad, you mean..."

Li Quandao: "As I said, I can only speculate. This is just a possibility. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty changed the surname Hu to a Han surname. In the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties, he not only ordered the Hu people with Han surnames to change their surnames back to Hu, but also gave Han people the surname Hu.

, and also changed the county title and wrote his own genealogy. From then on, the Hu and Han lineages were mixed and indistinguishable." Pharmacist Li knew this part clearly.

Li Quan continued: "Think about this Zhao County. It was originally established by the State of Zhao in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the Qin Dynasty, it was changed to Handan County. In the Han Dynasty, it belonged to the State of Zhao along with Julu County and Changshan County. My child, think about it. Duke Tang Guo kept claiming to be the Western State.

The seventh-generation grandson of King Liangwuzhao, Li Hao, has the family tombs of his great-grandfather Li Xi and his great-grandfather Li Tianci in Julu."

At this time, Pharmacist Li had made up his mind and said: "Yes, in the three counties of Handan, Julu and Changshan, there are many Li families from Zhao County living there. The Duke of Tang Dynasty has an ancestral tomb in Julu, which must be the Li family from Zhao County. But father and son are not.

Understand, what is the benefit of still pretending to be my Longxi Li family when you come to this dynasty?"

Li Quan smiled and said: "My child, you have reached the point. Do you know why the Southern Dynasties, including the Song, Qi, Liang and Chen dynasties, were unable to become strong and prosperous, and the country could not last long?"

Li Yaoshi replied: "I once heard my master say that among the four kings of the Southern Dynasties, Liu Yu, the king of the Song Dynasty, was born as a "farmer"; Xiao Daocheng, the head of Qi, and Xiao Yan, the head of Liang, were both from Lanling noble families, but compared with the kings,

Xie Zhu's surnames are still of humble origin; Chen Baxian, the leader of Chen, was born in a minor official. When they founded the country, they could not get the sincere support of the Southern Dynasty families, so the country could not be strong and prosperous, and the country could not last long."

Li Quan nodded and said: "Your master is right. So you should also know that there are differences among the same clan?"

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, family status has been the most important in society. In the Southern Dynasties, the Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun were the top ones, followed by the Yuan family of Chenjun and the Xiao family of Lanling. These four surnames are all "overseas Chinese surnames" and have higher status than

The "Wu surname" included Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu. Not to mention that the "Wu surname" could not be compared with the "Qiao surname" at that time, and even among the same clan, there were differences. For example, the Wang family had the Wuyi Wang family and the Qingxi Wang family.

The differences between clans. Liu Yuxi, a poet of the mid-Tang Dynasty, has a seven-character quatrain (Wuyixiang):

Wild grass and flowers beside Zhuque Bridge

The sunset at the entrance of Wuyi Alley

Yan in front of Wang Xietang in the old days

Fly into the homes of ordinary people

The kings of the Southern Dynasties and their descendants from famous families liked to wear black clothes, and the lane where the family mansion was located was called "Wuyi Lane". Zhuque Bridge was adjacent to Wuyi Lane. At that time, the wealthy Gaodi family gathered here, and even the birds who built their nests here

Swallow, his worth seems to be higher than others.

Seeing Pharmacist Li nodding in agreement, Li Quan smiled and said: "What you know is that the Wang family of Langya is divided into black clothes and Qingxi. Maybe you don't know that the Li family of Zhaojun is also divided into superiors and inferiors?" He asked the people who were listening attentively.

The son took a look and continued: "The Li family in Zhao County are all famous in Changshan. Those in Julu are either from the Weimo clan or from the Hu people who changed their surname to the Panyi clan."

Pharmacist Li said softly "Ah".

At this time, Li Quan's face turned solemn and he said: "In this world, if the person in power wants to have a strong and long-lasting country, he must have a famous family as his background. The Li family of Zhao County and I, the Li family of Longxi, both belong to the same family.

"Five surnames and seven hopes", but they are still not as good as my Li family in Longxi. What's more, they are not Changshan Xianwang of Zhao County?"

Li Yaoshi heard something in his father's words and looked at him blankly. Li Quan said slowly: "At that time, the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty each commanded two generals. The Duke of Tang was one of the eight pillar states, while the Duke of Sui was only ranked as a general.

In the previous Northern Zhou Dynasty, although the Duke of Sui was granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom by the Jin Dynasty, his status was still not as good as that of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms. However, now, it is the king and his ministers who decide the relationship." At this time, he paused for a moment and looked straight at his son: "Brother Li, what's your status?

If my mother-in-law, Princess Xiangyang, were still alive today, I wonder what she would think?"

When Li Yaoshi heard this, he couldn't help but screamed "ah". He knew that Yang Jian was the father of Yang, the empress of Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Before the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he served as the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty as a relative, specializing in military and political power.

At that time, courtiers loyal to the Yuwen clan raised troops to attack Yang Jian. After the defeat, Yang Jian not only slaughtered all his dissidents, but also killed all the princes and concubines of the Northern Zhou royal family except his own queen and daughter. The eldest princess of Xiangyang died in this disaster. Li Yaoshi

I know that although my father is talking about the eldest princess of Xiangyang at this time, he is actually asking what Sister-in-law Li, who is the daughter of the eldest princess of Xiangyang, would think? What will her husband, Tang Guogong Brother Li, think?

Only to hear Li Quan say again: "I dare not say what Tang Guogong has in mind, but I know very well that your elder brother Li Dibo doesn't want you to know that he is Tang Guogong. I have dealt with the matter of his family's ancestral property impartially. However,

"What I am dealing with is the ancestral property of Li Dibo's family, not the ancestral property of Tang Guogong." He looked deeply at Pharmacist Li: "My child, do you understand the connection?"

Pharmacist Li bowed seriously: "Yes, daddy, I understand."

Li Quan nodded and said: "We will return to Chang'an sooner or later. When you arrive in Beijing, you will inevitably meet Duke Tang. Do you have any thoughts on how to deal with it then?"

Pharmacist Li replied: "My son met an elder brother Li Dibo on the Qinghe Road. He was from Zhao County. The royal family's relative, Tang Guogong, was from Longxi. It would be an honor for my son, the Li family in Longxi, to have such a figure as Tang Guogong."

His eyes were shrewd and he said with a smile: "The two of them may be very similar. Wasn't Master Kong once mistaken for Yang Hu by people in Kuang?"

Li Quan patted his son on the back and nodded with a smile. When Li Yaoshi returned home this time, he was originally very excited and wanted to tell his father about his adventure on Panlong Mountain. However, the Li Dibo ancestral tomb incident had caused a lot of trouble for his father, so he did not dare to mention it for a while.
