Lan Ruochan

chapter 11

Sun Bin Tanzi sent a spy to poison Ailao Mountain, showing King Wei the ability to conquer thousands of miles without fighting, and King Wei made up his mind to separate an organization of the same level from Jixia.

The original intention of Tan Palace was to serve as a special espionage agency!

King Wei did not choose to expose this institution to the public, so there is almost no trace of the Tan Palace in the history books.

At that time, none of the military masters who served in the state of Qi served as a professor at the Jixia Academy, which claims to be compatible with a hundred schools of thought, probably because of this reason.

A spy is a sharp weapon of a country, and the most important quality is loyalty, so Tan Gong only selects dead soldiers from the two Qi royal families.

Qing Yun pondered, according to the silk script, his ancestor Qing Ke was selected to be raised in the Sandalwood Palace since he was a child.

Among the students of the same level, Gai, Cui, Gao, and Qing are all descendants of the Lu family back then.

Chen and Yu are of the same clan as Tian.

These tribes have spread branches and leaves in their respective latent countries, and their veins have been extended to future generations, and they seem to have achieved the desired effect.

Therefore, although the silk book did not describe in detail how the Tan Palace trained and managed at that time, it must be a mature, rigorous, and effective system.

Gai Nie, Qingyun frowned upon reading this name.

The grievances and grievances between the Gai family and the Qing family have been entangled for hundreds of years, but it is really innumerable.

Before Qing Ke assassinated King Qin, he met Gai Nie and humiliated Gai Nie.

Zhang Yingfeng used this past incident to humiliate Qingke today, causing the situation to get out of control.

I don't know if this notebook will mention the specific situation at that time?
Qingyun was about to look at it again, but his arm was held down, and he didn't realize that Minzhi was behind him.

"Let's stop here today, we are wanted in Liang Guo, and we haven't escaped from the safe area yet.

We have to set off early tomorrow morning, and we must arrive in Luojing before dark.

Luojing is the capital, and it will not disturb the people because of these trivial matters of Liang Guo.

Once there, we're safe.There is plenty of time. "

Junzhi's tone was very gentle, to the point where he really looked like a brother.

Naturally, Qingyun would not argue with him, so he found a piece of leather material, cut out a strip and made it a bookmark, for fear that other materials would damage the silk page.

Then wrap the school in silk cloth, carefully put back the tin box, and then go to rest.

On the way to Luojing the next day, Qingyun's problem obviously went deeper than the previous day,
"Senior Sister, I don't know what kind of people are qualified to be Tangun's candidate for this grand meeting among the sects?"

Hu Caiting thought for a while, and replied: "Those who are qualified to compete for Tangun, there are no more than ten clans.

In addition to the two clans of King Tan, there are also the descendants of the seven sons of the total king, plus the direct royal family of the Qi clan with the country as their clan.

In recent years, the disciples have been scattered, and there are not many contacts with each other.It is said that the Wang and Yu clans have already settled in the south of the Yangtze River and have no intention of returning to the north.

Although Uncle Chen is here, he and Gai Kun, my master Gao's lineage, have made it clear that they have no intention of competing for the position of Tangun.

The Cui family and the Lu family have gotten along pretty well these years.

In particular, the Cui family is currently the No. [-] family in Jiangbei. Although they are somewhat affected by the history of the country and the case of Tanzong's assassination of the king, they still have a detached position.

Although the movement of the Qi family is unknown, this branch has been withered for a hundred years, and it is afraid that it will not be able to cause any disturbances.

I think that if the descendants of the Tan family do not show up, the only ones who can compete for the position of Tangun are the Choi Lu family.

Although the Cui family is powerful, they haven't had any outstanding talents in recent years. Although the Lu family has only one Lu Wenzu, there are only five or five in the end.Junior Sister Yin, what do you think? "

Yin Seke smiled lightly, "Senior Sister's analysis is naturally incisive.

It has been a long time since my master has stopped asking about the affairs of the sect, and it is unknown whether he will be present in the election of Tangun this time.

Although the Gao family has deep roots in Wei State these years, they have always been overwhelmed by the Cui family. I guess the Gao family must support Lu Wenzu.

This time you specially invited Uncle Chen back, presumably you are determined to win.

I'm afraid they have done a lot of work for the five offerings of wine for foreign families, right? "

Hu Caiting showed a cunning expression, noncommittal, "It's just that Su Jijiu's attitude has not been clarified yet."

"Guanzhu Su, not to mention the election of Tangun, even if it is the election of the Son of Heaven, he will not be interested."

Cai Ting's face turned pale, "As long as Guanzhu Su keeps silent, it will be good news for Master Lu."

Yin Seke stuck out her tongue playfully, and retorted, "But I still have a piece of bad news that I didn't tell Senior Sister."

"what?"

"There are still descendants of the Tan family, and they have already arrived in Wei State at this moment.

This time, the Five Great Priestesses decided to reunite their disciples and choose Tangun after hearing the news. "

Qingyun listened very seriously at first, but when he heard that Hu Caiting talked about the ten schools of Tanzong, but did not mention Qing's family alone, he couldn't help feeling sad.

In fact, he knew in his heart that he was the only child left in the Qing family.

And with his qualifications, I'm afraid he doesn't even have the qualifications to express his opinion.

Later, seeing the two daughters Hu and Yin bickering, they felt even more bored, so they pinched their thighs and slapped the horse's buttocks with a leather whip.

The horse was in pain, and Herod sprang out.

There happened to be a fork in the road ahead, and the horse chose a direction at random and rushed over.

Qingyun kept whipping his whip, and the poor horse seemed to have escaped for about a stick of incense. The road narrowed and the terrain gradually became higher. The roadside was densely forested and grassy, ​​and it had already left the official road.

Although Qingyun's head was still hot, he also realized that he was going in the wrong direction, and was about to steer his horse back, when he vaguely heard shouts not far ahead.

The young man was the most curious. He just wanted to hear what the group of people were saying, so the reins in his hand naturally relaxed again.

The horse's buttocks were still hot and painful, and it still ran forward with a strange scream, and hoofed around the turning point of the slope.

Hengli was seeing a dozen or so masked men intercepting Sanqi passers-by and shouting angrily, they looked like trail-shearing robbers.

Qingyun was in a low mood, and had nowhere to vent his worries, but he encountered a rough road.

Hehe, without even thinking about it, he drew his sword and rushed over with a loud shout.

Among the three people who were stopped, the leader was a young master, who was personable, gentle and jade-like, with a calm expression and no panic.

At this time, seeing that there was a mess in front of him, and the two burly men beside him were about to get off their horses to help, but the young man stopped him with his hand.

"Wait a minute, this kid's swordsmanship is good enough to protect himself. Let's take a look at the details of those masked people first."

Holding a breath of sullen breath, Qingyun charged into the masked men, and as soon as they fought, he secretly groaned.

Could this group of people in front of them be ordinary trail cutters?
The blue lights in the hands of the dozen or so people were all shining long swords. Although they were not magical weapons, they looked like high-quality weapons that were regularly maintained, and they were definitely not something that ordinary thieves could have.

He fought and retreated, looked at a few moves, and saw that the two most fierce attackers in front of him were both using Dongzong swordsmanship, and his heart trembled slightly.

Could it be that because we chose Dongzong's place yesterday, it caused Dongzong's Jianghu forces to secretly investigate?

He sneaked another glance at the three people who were stopped, two strong men, and a good-looking Mr. Jia.

That young master's expression was determined, his handsome demeanor was so handsome that no one dared to look directly at him.

Oh!That's right, aren't these strong men suspecting that the young man was disguised as a woman?

These three passers-by, A, B, and C, were probably interrogated because they were our scapegoats?

Thinking of the disaster caused by the three of them already affected the "innocent", naturally they couldn't stay out of it, so they made up their minds.

Jizhi and the others saw themselves running towards this road, and they should catch up soon. As long as they delay for a while, the four of them join forces, and the dozen or so people are not a concern.

So Qingyun yelled, "The one you are looking for is the young master, don't disturb others. Come, come, come, let's have a good fight with the young master!"

The three of them were stunned for a while, but they could only react in one way when encountering challenges.

The four sword shadows immediately entangled a little more tightly.

The young man frowned slightly, not understanding what was going on.

He asked the middle-aged man on the left, "Uncle Xi, what do you think?"

The man cupped his fists respectfully: "My lord, these people should come from Zhan Snake Villa."

The young master nodded, and asked again: "What about the little guy?"

The middle-aged man looked at a few more moves and shook his head, "This kid's swordsmanship is too complicated, and he has no rules. Some are like Tanzong's, and some are like Xizong's, right, Daozong? Hey, don't guess. ! The lower officials have poor eyesight, so they can’t see it!”

"Well, go and meet him. I think he can't hold it anymore."

"Alas!" The man responded, got off his horse, took advantage of the situation and took a step forward, and then another step forward.

His pace was not fast, and even ordinary people could clearly see his strides, but somehow, with just a few random steps like this, he stepped forward a few feet and approached the battle group.

Qingyun's situation at this time was indeed not very good, to be precise, it was very bad.

As soon as he realized that the other party had a tough idea, he had already changed his strategy. The sword dance in his hand was impenetrable, and the occasional feint was just to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and he just wanted to hold on for a while.

Even so, he still underestimated the enemy too much. How could he have expected that these dozen or so people were all masters of Zhan Snake Villa?

If it is right alone, I am afraid that the cultivation base is not inferior to my own, and the two leaders are even more powerful.

It's just that he didn't know the depth, the source, or whether there were reinforcements after being rushed by him without thinking.

Coupled with the fact that there are many people with mixed hands, their thoughts and thoughts are different, and they are not in the same place for a while, but they hinder each other. This makes Qing Yun, who is only on the defensive, last for more than a dozen meetings.But the danger is dangerous, how can it be said that there is danger everywhere?
However, the strong man still walked leisurely, and when he got close to the battle group, he casually poked behind him and took out a giant axe.

I don't know what material the ax is made of, but it's blood red!
The hands holding the ax slowly raised up, and then slanted down, the movement was very casual, and the direction of the ax was also very clear, just like the woodcutter's felling style, it looked harmless.

The two swordsmen at the end of the formation had already caught a glimpse of the strong man's movements, but they didn't pay any attention to them.

Compared with the young man in front who didn't know the depth and martial arts, the idiot behind him was nothing to worry about.

Seeing the other party raise the axe, then he just dodges and stabs back with the sword, and he can cook.

As they thought in their hearts, their hands and feet moved in the same way.The two walked from left to right, and turned around instantly, with sneering smiles on their faces, as if they had seen the moment when the strong man collapsed.

But for some reason, that weird smile froze on the faces of the two of them.

The nerves in their faces stiffened instantly, and they didn't even feel the pain. The main nerve in the spine was cut off, divided into four, and the blood burst out.

A flash of excitement flashed across the edge of the red giant axe, and it seemed to be mocking, but in an instant, it turned into a greedy beast again, and slowly raised its head again.

Although the strange change happened suddenly, those cold-blooded swordsmen reacted faster, and the focus of the battle suddenly shifted.

There were three swordsmen who had already turned their heads, and their swords were glowing, and they twisted towards the strong man from three directions.They had already seen the origin of the axe, the heavy and clumsy horizontal slash was still so ordinary, how could it be faster than the snake-like sword move?

"Ka~pu~!" The muscles, bones, and steel sword seemed to be broken at the same time.

Several kinds of sounds, in no particular order, mixed into a dry sound that was neither crisp nor dull.

Another six corpses were scattered on the ground.

"The red axe! The red axe has manifested!" In the chaos, someone screamed, and the group of masked men saw their five companions collapsing in the rain of blood.

He didn't know that he had a hard idea, and he was like a frightened bird for a while, ignoring Qingyun, and fled to the dense forests on both sides.

Chi Ax is a Sanxian worshiped by the folks in the Han Dynasty. Seeing the majestic and majestic Han God descending like a heavenly general, his eyebrows stained with blood, and the huge ax in his hand to destroy shadows and shake the light, isn't it just like Chi Ax himself?

The gods and Buddhas murdered their hearts,

Mortal dogs are the same!
The man wandered between the wrong arms, and several more limbs fell to the dust.

Immediately, Young Master didn't seem too happy to see such a bloody scene, so he raised his wrist and held his lips to cough a few times.

The big man stopped when he heard the sound, looking at the back of the fleeing swordsman, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, with three points of ridicule, and seven points of regret.

I only heard a few clear sounds, I don't know what is moving rapidly in the forest, and then I heard several sounds, coming from different directions.

As soon as the pig-killing shouts fell, the surroundings returned to dead silence.

Naturally, Qingyun was stunned, unable to speak like a wooden chicken, and the sound of footsteps in the forest had been completely stopped. Presumably, there was not a single person left alive among the group of masked people.

Witnessing such a massacre, the young master's expression remained the same as normal, and he calmly ordered, "Check the corpse." Although his tone was not harsh, there was an irresistible majesty.

The big man complied with his promise, and casually groped among the broken corpses beside him, and sure enough, he found a few waist cards, then turned around and presented them to the young man in white.

"Uncle Xi has good eyesight, it really is them.

Keep this waist card, it may be useful in the future.

Ask Shu Ming to check if there is still a slip through the net, don't leave anyone alive and leak his whereabouts. "

After hearing this, the big man sucked his fingers and blew a whistle.

A series of whistles of different lengths sounded in the forest in response.

The young man in white gave all orders indifferently, then looked at Qingyun.

At this time, three more horses arrived behind them. It was Yuzhi and the others who saw the mess of the place and did not know the situation.

Seeing that Qing Yunchu was there and didn't intend to make a move, he didn't make a move rashly, but looked at the three people facing him vigilantly.

Qingyun's mind was in a state of confusion at this moment. He had just heard the young master calmly spit out the five words "don't leave him alive", so he was thinking about whether the other party would suddenly attack him.

But he also thought about the death of the dozen or so gangsters just now, and realized that even if he warns the police now and asks Li Zhi and others to lead the horses first, they may not be able to escape the other party's lurking means in the forest.

If the other party really wanted to kill, there is no reason for the four of them to be spared at this time, so since the other party has not moved, why bother to provoke them?
With this in mind, Qingyun just cupped his hands and said as calmly as possible, "Thank you, young master, for helping me out."

The young man in white smirked slightly, seemingly harmless.

"It doesn't matter, in fact, they came here for me.

The young hero has acted out of righteousness, but he hasn't thanked him yet.

It's just that it's quite inconvenient for me to wait for this trip, and I hope a few young heroes can help take care of the funeral here.

What happened just now, I hope not to mention it to others, otherwise it will inevitably lead to disaster.

Good for yourself, goodbye! "

After finishing speaking, the young master clasped his fists slightly, galloped past Qingyun, glanced at Zu Dianzhi intentionally or unintentionally, and then left without looking back.

The two strong men behind him hurriedly raised their reins to follow, without saying a word.

The second woman was just on guard, so she endured the discomfort caused by the blood clots on the stump.

At this time, seeing that the other three had left, he couldn't help but feel a sour smell in his throat.

Jizhi hurriedly got off his horse and helped Qingyun cover up the bloodstains with sand, dragged the body into the forest, lit a mountain fire, and the four of them started on the road again.

Wiping this ass was not because of the young master's orders.

Instead, he thought that they had just committed a crime in Liang Guo County. If there were major crimes in the vicinity, they would easily be investigated together.

At that time, Luodu will also investigate carefully according to the clues sent by Liang Guo. For them, it will naturally be a big trouble.

When everything was settled, several people turned their horses back to the official way.

Qingyun explained the whole story in detail.

Junzhi said to himself, "Red Axe, Red Axe? You said that the man with the Red Axe is called Uncle Xi?"

Qingyun nodded.

Tie Zhi said clearly, "That's right, it's no wonder they are so cautious.

This group of people came from Qi State, that young master must be someone from the royal family with aloof status, otherwise how could he invite Xi Chanwen to be his guard? "

Hu Caiting spoke quickly and asked, "Who is this Xi Chanwen?"

"Well, General Xi is the deputy general of the former Guanglu doctor Xiao Chifu.

In the old days, Xiao Chi held a red ax that was unworthy of anyone, but Xi Chanwen was the most powerful under his seat.

The two are inseparable from each other, and each other is soaked in blood.

After the death of Xiao Chifu, the giant ax used by the master was given to Xi Chanwen.

Xiao Yingxuan, Xiao Chifu's son-in-law, took over the title and became Qi Weiwei, so Xi Chanwen taught martial arts on his behalf.

Xiao Yingzhou's words are long, and with words, he uses a dragon's spine Yanyue knife, which is also a way of opening and closing, advancing and not retreating.

According to what Brother Qing said, it is estimated that the other big man next to the young man in white is that Xiao Yunchang. "

Doctor Guanglu in the Han and Jin Dynasties was not a petty official who served the emperor's meals in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Instead, he governs Habayashi, the doctor, and the general of the Imperial Guard who is responsible for guarding the royal family's security.

At that time, the imperial guards of the emperor, all the officials in the hall, big and small, were under the control of Dr. Guanglu Xun, and the soldiers outside the hall were under the control of the guards.

So since the young man in white is personally guarded by the guards, his status is naturally extraordinary.

"Brother Zu, you are also a military officer of Qi State, do you know what that monster in the forest is?
When brother Jingqing said it just now, I saw the woods beside the road and my scalp went numb. "

This sensual mouth is really getting sweeter and sweeter. The few people just got acquainted, and the address becomes more and more intimate.

I don't know if it was Brother Qing or Brother Qing who called out. Although the speaker had no intention of calling out, I don't know if the listener can keep quiet?

"Where can there be any monsters! It is only a sound of arrows."

Qingyun shook his head like a rattle, "Sounding arrows? Impossible! Aiming and shooting arrows in the forest? Absolutely impossible!"

"Ordinary people may not be able to, but for the person you just mentioned, it's just a piece of cake.

Tai Shi Shuming, the man who claims to be able to fly arrows to embroider, is also an old friend of Brother Yu. "

Qing Yun suddenly realized, "No wonder, no wonder that Young Master took a special look at you before leaving.

I guess it was that Shu Ming who recognized you.

I was still thinking at the time, when Xi Chanwen ordered the search, why the whistles in the woods were so complicated.

If it is just to express a response, such a code word is too impractical. "

Seeing that Qingyun has such insights, Ji Zhi praised him, "That's right, that's about it.

I couldn't figure out the identity of that son for a while.

Since they are from Qi State, they must have something important to do, and it is really inappropriate to expose them.

Probably because I was also a military officer of the Qi State, they expected that I would be able to guess their identities and would not do anything unfavorable to them. "

Cai Ting listened to them chatting for a while, and then interrupted,

"It's a good thing that the second brother is here, otherwise, maybe we will be the same as those masked people, and we will die without a burial.

Those villains, oh, I'm really scared after thinking about it. "

"Is it scary?" Several people were chatting and laughing at this moment, and their horse steps also slowed down a bit. Tie Zhi deliberately made a joke, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously,
"Three of them are not the scariest yet.

Taishi Shuming was a dead man raised by King Jingling back then, and there was another one in that group who was as famous as him, so he was truly terrifying.

The man's name was Chu Wanchun, and his nickname was Chu Tongzi. No one knew what he looked like, whether he was tall or short, fat or thin, or even male or female.

All I know is that once I get entangled by him, there is only one dead end.

But a ruthless character who can stop children from crying! "

All of a sudden, a big tree beside the road toppled down and hit the road heavily, blocking the way.

The four horses were startled and neighed.

Only a section taller than a person was left standing there on the fallen tree trunk, and it actually spoke!

The piercing sound of metal rubbing makes people shudder,

"Children of the ancestors!
How did your dad teach you?
Actually learned to rap behind people's back?

Do you really want me to teach you a lesson in place of Grandfather Zu! "

Then he laughed a few times, and somehow the trunk shrank into a wooden pier about half a foot high.

Several people didn't know whether it was because they were dazzled or because the horse was jolted, but none of them saw clearly how the "trunk" disappeared.

Presumably that young master had left behind, if he had said something that was not good for that young master of Qi's actions, he might still be doomed.

Thinking about it now, the four of them were already dripping with cold sweat.

"""""Knock on the blackboard time"""""

In this section, the word broken branch is used, which is a kind of debox oblique loan.In some places where the red liquid has a pungent smell, some details may need to be dealt with slightly.Judges, take care of me.

Let's continue the topic of surnames in the previous chapter and let's talk about Tian Qi and Jiang Qi.

The statements of Tian Qi and Jiang Qi should not be called together, because the royal family of Tian Qi comes from the state of Chen, and the surname of Gui is Tian, ​​and Tian takes the surname; while Jiang Qi, Jiang's surname is Lu, and Jiang takes the surname.Defining Liang Qi by Tian Qi and Jiang Qi is a modern name, not a "historical name".Among the various histories, there is only one who is called Tian Qi separately, but no one who is called Jiang Qi alone.Regarding this period of history, the correct historical name is - "Tianshi Daiqi", in which Tian and Qi are both surnames.After the Tian family replaced Qi, it was also called the Qi family. The previous Qi kings had their own surnames, but they were not the Jiang family.

Once one becomes a direct royal family, both Tian and Lu will be crowned with the Guo family——Qi.For example (Jiang) Qi Huangong could not be called Lu Xiaobai before he ascended the throne, but should be called Qi Gongzi Xiaobai, or simply Gongzi Xiaobai.Afterwards, the Tian clan took over the right to use the Qi Guo clan. (Tian) Duke Huan of Qi, Qi Wangwu was inscribed as "Chenhouwu" in the unearthed cultural relics, his son Wei Wang, Qi Wang Yinqi was inscribed "Chenhou Yinqi", and it was not until King Xuan that the inscription "Qi Wang Bijiang" was inscribed. It can be seen that the Tian family actually replaced Qi It is also a long process.From a certain point of view, the state of Qi was destroyed by the state of Chen in an indescribable way.

For the change of title caused by the change of identity, there is a more typical model that can be analyzed, and he is Shang Yang.Shang Yang was originally the grandson of Wei Guo (the son of the son), so he was called Gongsun Yang, Wei Gongsun Yang, and Wei Yang, all of which conformed to the rule that the royal family has no clan and the country is the clan.Later, when Gongsun Yang came to the state of Qin, he was honored by the king of Qin and enfeoffed in the land of Shang. With his own fief, he changed his name to Shang Yang with the fief as his surname.As for the different decomposition in the historical records, we mentioned the reason in the previous section.

After the royal family obtains the fiefdom, they will separate themselves and use the fiefdom as the surname; even if there is no fiefdom, if they are far away from the direct clan, they will take the characters from the names of the family predecessors as the clan to distinguish them from the direct clan.

We can use the example in this work, Gai, Cui, Gao, Qing, and Lu are all from the Jiang Qi royal family.Among them, the Lu family is a relatively old family, and Taigongwang was the Lu family before he was granted the title.Gai's clan came from Duke Xiang of Qi, and his son Qi Ji fled to Lu.The Cui family came from Duke Ding of Qi, and he enfeoffed his son Shu Yi in Cui Yi, taking the land as his family.The Gao clan came from Qi Wengong, and the descendants of the son Gao took the character as the clan.The Qing family originated from Duke Huan of Qi, and the descendants of Gongsun Qingke took the name as the family name.Jiang Qitian and Qi Liangqi have more than fifty surnames, which is one of the main sources of modern surnames.Ji Jiang is the surname of Huang Yan (ancient), and most of the surnames today come from these two ethnic groups, so Huaxia is also called the Empress of Yan and Huang.

What I said here is a bit far.At the end of the previous chapter, we said that the history of surnames is also a part of historical research. The origin and division of surnames, the migration and spread of the main clans and prefectures in later generations, all of which have added many details that were not clearly explained in the official history.For example, in the Zhou Dynasty, Ji was the surname of Wang (ancient), Zhao Han, Wei (Jin), Yan Wei, Zheng Lu, Wu, and other very influential countries all had the surname of Ji. is very normal.But the Jiang (ancient) surname was only one big royal family in Qi State at that time, so why could it spread its descendants all over the world?It can be seen that Qi State must have adopted some special strategies and measures at that time.History has not spoken bluntly about the details.Just like the surnames in the Qin Dynasty were easy to vulgar, and the history did not say it bluntly, but the result was so decisive and effective.

The setting of Tan Palace Raising Spies in this article is a bold assumption based on the historical fact that the surname Qi is everywhere.

Of course, this surname is not without exceptions.For example, Emperor Shun had two surnames, Yao and Gui, both given by Emperor Yao. Emperor Shun had no surnames before the Yu clan.The usage of surnames in the Emperor Shun tribe is somewhat confused. In "Historical Records", the only case of using a surname to refer to a man comes from the surname Gui.In addition, the kings of Chu did not take the country as their surname, but insisted on the Xiong family name, which was also included in the surname test, probably because they regarded themselves as having the true origin of the Xiong family name.

Confucius' surname is Zi, Laozi's surname is Ying, Wu Qi's surname is Ji, Qing Ke's surname is Jiang, Qu Yuan's surname is Mi, and Tian Dan's surname is Gui, but these (ancient) surnames are not included in male titles.Therefore, those haphazards on a certain encyclopedia insisted on self-defeating and changed all the good Xiahou clans to Si XX, Zhou Wang XX all called Ji XX, and none of the eighteen sons of Xibochang had Ji as their surname.Lu Shang and Zhou Dan are known together in ancient times, what kind of ginger sprout eggs have become?Hey, if we want to go back to the time of the Republic of China, my husband will be pissed off.

Addendums: Special addenda based on questions raised by readers.For example, King Fa of Zhou has passed away, so he should be called King Wu of Zhou.If you think this is just his title and not his name, what is his name?
First of all, the name is the custom of calling, and it should be accepted from the consciousness that the use of the ancient surname and first name is different from the current one.Secondly, for King Wu of Zhou's annotation, the most standard answer should be: Da Zhou, Ji's surname.King Wu, named Fa.

The surname Ji is not given to individuals, but to all women in the Zhou royal family.The son of heaven has no family, but has a country name, which is the Wang family.
