The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"Daddy, why didn't the titles of Great Chu be titled? Liang Guogong's real surname is Liang, Zheng Guogong's real surname is Zheng, and An Guogong's real surname is An?" It seems that the emperors of the three dynasties of Yan, Chen and Chu were not very educated.

Sheng Yuan listened to the affairs of the Duke of Liang's mansion, and when he was idle, he broke his fingers and read about the existing Dukes in Dachu, and found that there were five or six Dukes, and none of them had titles.This also includes Sheng Guogong, An Guogong, and Zheng Guogong who have stood firm in the three dynasties.

It is Shengyuan's virtue to ask questions when she finds a problem. Of course, it's another story to ask people who make her dizzy after chasing after her if they are willing to regard this trait as a virtue.

When Sheng Xiangxun was attacked by the question, he was playing fast chess with his eldest daughter, Anthrace. Hearing his younger daughter's confusion, he rolled his eyes and suddenly asked his eldest daughter, "Does Anthrace know the reason for this?"

Nine-year-old Sheng An was still an honest child in front of adults. When her father asked this question, she thought about it carefully and realized that her knowledge had not covered this aspect, so she shook her head slowly.

She thought that her father would focus on resolving doubts for her sister as before, so she casually put the chess piece in her hand in one place, sat upright carefully, and waited to make up for her shortcomings.

Who would have thought that her father would play tricks!

Such a big man, under the watchful eyes of everyone, took the opportunity to put his chess pieces in the best position, directly deciding the victory or defeat.

"Daddy is playing tricks again!" Sheng Yuan didn't expect her father to be like this, and immediately started a fight with her sister.

It's a pity that her father didn't think that his behavior was wrong at all, and he even plausibly said that he was not tired of cheating. This was to teach the two sisters on the spot, so that they could learn a lesson and never give up on themselves when facing the enemy in the future. arms.

Well, in his view, the chessboard is the battlefield, and the pieces are the weapons. If you are a soldier or a general, you put down the pieces at will, that is, you put down your weapons.They have all put down their weapons, is it possible that they can still win?

Such a view made the two daughters dizzy.

"What a big man, you still bully the child!" Mrs. Zheng noticed it with Madam Yang when the little girl was beating her father at the top of her voice. Seeing the two girls being stunned by their father now, they couldn't help being funny and annoyed Of course, being funny is aimed at the two girls, and being angry is aimed at Sheng Xiangxun.

"Although the third master is naughty, he is justified. Otherwise, the two ladies would not be so convinced." Yang Nanny sat on the edge of the couch, smiling and looking at the noisy father and daughter in front of her.

Sheng Xiangxun didn't tell them the reason until the two girls were so fussy that they forgot their anger.

"The Yan Dynasty was established at the beginning, when we first became the duke of the state, we had a title, and the title was Cheng.

Cheng, Sheng Ye, Anmin Lizheng said Cheng.So we were originally Cheng Guogong's mansion. "

Sheng Xiangxun shook his head and told the two children about ancient times, and the little sister was taken aback for a moment. Neither of the sisters thought that there really was a title in the family.

"As far as the founders of the country are concerned, in fact, most of them have only three or five generations of brilliance, or they will be killed for the fifth generation.

You follow the emperor to conquer the world, and when the world is conquered, you have a high status, rich wealth, and prosperous descendants, so you can take advantage of the court.

The earlier emperors, who were kind-hearted, might be able to tolerate you, but as you go later, the problem of resource allocation becomes more prominent, and reshuffle and reorganization become inevitable. "

When Sheng Xiangxun said this, he deliberately lowered his voice. The words were so soft and fast that even Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Yang, who were close by, didn't hear them, let alone the maids standing in the corridor.

"When Emperor Yancheng was still in the middle of the Yan Dynasty, Emperor Cheng wanted to reduce the number of dukes, but he didn't want to be seen as mean and ungrateful, so he hesitated in the preparation.

When he was in power, he only favored the noble concubine Yi. If the noble concubine had no children, the empress dowager, the queen mother and the courtiers strongly opposed it. He was more determined than once to set up a farce after being abolished five times. I am afraid that it would have ended in success.

Concubine Yi was born in the Marquis Mansion, her surname is Cheng, her family is also one of the founding heroes, but only the Marquis did not have the title when the ancestors were entrusted, and because they were at odds with our ancestors, they are very concerned about the title of Cheng in our mansion.

However, the previous generations of emperors were quite wise, so they could only be silently dissatisfied.

But when it came to Emperor Cheng, the opportunity came. Because he wanted to establish the noble concubine Yi as the future but failed, Emperor Cheng wanted to make up for it, so he sent his idea to our house. At that time, the internal guards were watching our house specifically, looking for opportunities to seize The number is cut. "

Hearing this, Sheng An and Sheng Yuan were really eye-opening. It turns out that the reason for winning the title and cutting the title can be as simple as this!
Sheng Xiangxun was also very satisfied to see their reaction like this. After all, children tend not to know the heights of the sky and the earth, and they don't know how much imperial power is at all.

"Is it true that Emperor Yan Cheng caught the pigtail?" Sheng An Sheng Yuan was so engrossed in listening to it that he couldn't help urging his father to continue talking.

However, Sheng Xiangxun laughed: "If it's so easy to give someone a handle, how can our family pass it on to this day?"

He smiled and said: "After our ancestors realized the dire situation, they made an assessment and found that the conflict between our family and the emperor is still resolvable. After all, it is impossible for the emperor to wipe out all the nobles who founded the country, so we still have to leave a few for decoration. .

And in our family, there were few noble families with a clean and upright family style at that time, so the conflict between us and the emperor was in the title.

Thinking about the problem clearly, Duke Cheng at that time, who was the ancestor of our family, made a decisive decision and tied up the eldest son, saying that he sold the family property.He said that he was not strict in running his family, and he was ashamed of granting the title to Gao Zu, and begged Emperor Cheng to take back the title. "

Sheng Yuan and Sheng An couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and a thought emerged in their hearts tacitly: ho ho, I learned it!learnt!

"This pre-emptive approach made Emperor Cheng unexpectedly feel a little guilty, so after taking off the title, he really didn't care about it, not only canceled the fault of the eldest son, but also deleted the Duke of Shengguo from the list of cutting the nobility .

Later, because of the meritorious service of the second generation Sheng Guogong in defeating the enemy, the already aged Emperor Yancheng also gave the iron scroll of Danshu to the mansion as a reward. "

"Iron Scroll of Dan Book?!" "Iron Scroll of Dan Book!!!"

The two sisters, Sheng An and Shengyuan, who were curious about the fate of the eldest son, jumped up the moment they heard the words "Dan Shu Tie Juan", clamoring to see and see.

"Experience? I have never seen your father, where can I find it for you!"

Sheng Xiangxun didn't expect the girls to be interested in this, but it's useless for them to get excited, and it's impossible for him to conjure it up.

"Although Sheng Guogong received this honor at that time, he was still sitting on pins and needles. He knew Emperor Cheng's temperament very well. He could not be regarded as a bad man, but he was considered generous as an emperor. However, he often changed his orders from day to day. Although it would not make the courtiers miserable. , but it also made everyone tremble."
