Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 245 The Great Confucian Wang Wei ([-])

A few months later
Yongyuan six years
Liaodong County

Royal Manor
All the children of the Wang family gathered together to mourn the death of the former head of the family, Wang Yan, and held a coronation ceremony for Wang Yan.

Wang Bian, a member of the ninth generation family, was born in the troubled times of Xinmang and died in the prosperous age of Dahan. She witnessed the demise of Xinmang, and also witnessed the establishment and prosperity of Dahan.

During her reign of 57 years, she completely conquered the people of Sanhan, opened up a new colony of Wa Island, explored the sea route to Shendu, and annexed two townships (originally two counties) in Liaodong for the family. He also fought Wuhuan for his family and captured countless livestock.

Wang Kang, Wang Taihao, Wang Tairan, Wang Changzhi, Wang Hongyin, Wang Fengbang, Wang Tong, Wang Zhang, Wang Bian, nine generations went on and on, sacrificing themselves for the family.

"The Three Emperors will protect you, the Five Emperors will protect you, and the ancient saints will accompany you. You will rest in peace in Huangquan."

Jiacheng recited prayers, and the little boys and girls among the children of the family stood in three rows, praising Wang Bian's achievements.

These children are the No. 13th generation of the Wang family, belonging to the great-great-grandchildren of Wang Bian, and the nephews and nieces of Wang Bing.

The Wang family had canceled the sacrificial burial system since Wang Tairan's time, so Wang Bian's burial was very simple, except that he buried many precious funerary objects.

[Holy Monarch: Wang Kang
Zhuang Jun: Wang Taihao
Wen Jun: Wang Tairan
Huan Jun: Wang Changzhi
Kang Jun: Wang Hongyin
Pingjun: Wang Fengbang

At the southern end of the Liaodong hills, less than ten miles away from the manor, the Wang family carved the heads of nine patriarchs on the mountain, and inside the Wang family manor, there are also full-body stone statues of the nine patriarchs. The deeds of their lives are engraved on the bottom.

The Wang family not only compiles genealogy, but also compiles history books. However, the history books of the Wang family are different from those of the Central Plains. The history books of the Central Plains are developed from the perspective of the emperor, telling the past events of the emperor’s era, and then around the big center of the emperor, by the way, telling about the loyal ministers around the emperor. The past events of good generals center on these loyal and good generals, and then unfold the stories of some relatives. This belongs to the biographical style.

The "History of the Wang Family" compiled by the Wang family takes the timeline as the axis to record what happened in the Wang family every year, and each year is responsible for recording what happened in the previous year.

From the time when Wang Kang took [-] bandits from the Central Plains across the sea to Liaodong to conquer the aborigines, until Wang Bian's deathbed entrusted Wang Bing to inherit the position of Patriarch, and will continue to write in the future.

There will be no taboos, the past of being a bandit is nothing to taboo for the Wang family, it is even an honor!
A bandit who was beaten by Zhang Han and fled to Liaodong to seek refuge, finally established a foundation for eternal life, what is this glory?
The glory of the Wang family is achieved through the struggle of generations of family members, not from the ancestors.

Without ancestor Kang’s cutting through thorns and hemp, how could there be Luoyueyuan, without Wang Taihao’s captive slaves, how could so many tenants go to Luoyueyuan to farm, and how could there be no tenants to go to Luoyueyuan to farm, where did the Wang family get the money to bribe Liaodong officials? If there is no money to bribe the Liaodong officialdom, how can there be children of the Wang family entering the court, and no children of the Wang family entering the court, where will the corruption and corruption come from, and where will the money come from for family development? With the development of the family, how could it have the glory it has today.

Link after link, every step of the Wang family is advancing. From capturing slaves to expanding colonies, it is not achieved overnight, but step by step, relying on their own efforts, hard work, struggle, persistence, and overcoming difficulties.

Don't forget the well diggers when you drink water, and don't dislike your ancestors just because you are developed now.

"We have conquered the Jian people, the Liaodong officialdom, the Sanhan people and the Japanese people. In the future, we will also conquer the world. Wherever the sun and moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers go, they are all the land of my royal family, the shore of the land. , are all ministers of my royal family."

The children sang about the greatness and future of the Wang family. Over the past 300 years, I don’t know how many opponents have fallen, but the Wang family has always stood firm and will always stand firm.

For hundreds of years, I don’t know how many family members, in order to raise funds for the development of the family, even took the risk of being beheaded by the court to commit corruption. They are so evocative. Without their fearless sacrifice and hard work, there would be no royal family of thriving.

Every family member who is corrupt in the officialdom is great and worthy of respect for the Wang family, and must be passed down from generation to generation, because it is their bravery that makes the family develop.

"History of the Wang Family" refers to these nine generations of patriarchs as the period of the Nine Generations of Mingjun, or the rule of the Nine Generations.

After the prayer, Jia Cheng held a coronation ceremony for the No. 12th generation family member Wang Wei.

Looking at the buried Wang Bian with wet eyes, he could not help kneeling on the ground and weeping: "Grandmother, Miaoer... you are late."

After the coronation ceremony, according to the usual practice, the new head of the family needs to mourn for the previous head of the family for seven days, and the children of the rest of the family need to mourn for the previous head of the family for three days.

However, Wang Wei insisted on mourning for a month, and everyone had no choice but to allow him to mourn in front of Wang Bin's mausoleum for a month.

Not only the royal family, but also the subjects in the royal family's ruled area, and the entire Liaodong, even the Liaodong prefect had to wear mourning clothes and mourn remotely in the county government. The streets and alleys in Liaodong were hung with white cloth. Put on mourning clothes and mourn for Wang Bian for three days.

The children of the three major families of Zhang, Li and Lu all wore mourning clothes for three days. The heads of the three families even came to the ancestral mausoleum of the Wang family and knelt in front of the mausoleum of Wang Bian to mourn.

The whole Liaodong was completely white, even when the emperor died, there was no such scene in Liaodong.

When Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu passed away, the four major families only asked their children to wear mourning for Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, but did not require all officials and people in Liaodong to wear mourning.

The Wang family has ruled Liaodong for more than two hundred years, and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The authority of the mere Han court in Liaodong is far inferior to that of the Wang family.

One month later

Wang Wei’s mourning was over, and the first thing he did after mourning was to check the family tree and family history. When he found that Wang Changzhi and Wang Changjiong recorded in the genealogy and family history did indeed belong to the royal family of Liaodong, Wang Wei couldn’t help but wondered about the Langya Wang family and the Taiyuan family. Wang felt disgusted.

I don't have to, but you can't grab it!
From the family relics, Wang Wei found some imperial edicts of Wang Changzhi and Wang Changjiong. They were the imperial edicts for the two people to be promoted to rank by the imperial court, and they had been properly preserved by the Wang family. It came in handy.

"With these imperial decrees from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the two ancestors of my royal family will definitely be able to rectify their names!" Wang Wei vowed in his heart.

After putting these edicts away properly, he left all family affairs to the family council.

"I concentrate on studying Confucian classics, and I don't know much about the development of the family. It's fine to leave the family affairs to the family council and the family council. Don't ask my opinion. I want to go back to the Central Plains to do more important things. Ancestors rectify their names!"

The Patriarch Wang Wei left the Wang Family Manor quickly after leaving such a sentence. Although he is the Patriarch of the Wang Family, after such a long period of development, the current Wang Family has developed a much more robust mechanism than before. Even without him as the Patriarch, it can still operate as usual.
