Later Si Zhizhuo Wangzhi was not inferior, and moved to the left to become the crown prince and Taifu. When Emperor Xuan fell ill, he paid homage to him as a former general and Guang Luxun.

The surnames of overseas Chinese in Guojiang are Wang, Xie, Yuan and Xiao; the surnames of Wu are in the southeast, with Zhu, Zhang, Gu and Lu being the eldest; the surnames of counties are in Shandong, with Wang, Cui, Lu and Li , Zheng is Da; Guanzhong is also the "county surname", Wei, Pei, Liu, Xue, Yang, Du Shou; Daibei is the "Lu surname", Yuan, Changsun, Yuwen, Yu, Lu, Yuan, Dou Shou Of.

Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi praised the Xiao family of Lanling: "Famous and virtuous, the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty are linked to each other. The prosperity of the family has never been seen in ancient times." Yu Xingxu, an old minister of Xiao Liang and a famous poet in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, said that "the branches of the faction are like trees", and the great writer Su Dongpo also praised "if you want to make a show of clothes, you will succeed in the eight Xiaos".

The Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Chenjun, the Yuan family of Chenjun, as well as the Yu family of Yingchuan who were massacred by Huan Wen, and the Longkang Huan family who were self-reliant and exterminated. These first-class noble families after crossing the Yangtze River all originated from the Gao family in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Yuan family of Chenjun and the Huan family of Longkang can all be traced back to the Later Han Dynasty. The Xiao family of Lanling has been unknown since the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties when the gentry society gradually formed. Even in the Eastern Jin Dynasty after crossing the Yangtze River, only Xiao Ju appeared in the history books.

Xiao Di is the son of Xiao Zheng, the first generation of the Xiao family in Lanling to cross the river. The Lanling Xiao family originally lived in Lanling County, Donghai County. After the Yongjia Rebellion, they moved southward and settled in Nanlanling. The fifth generation of Xiao Zheng is Xiao Daocheng, the founder of Southern Qi Dynasty, and the sixth generation of Xiao Zheng is Xiao Daocheng.
The fifth generation is Xiao Yan, the founder of Nanliang. The Xiao family of Lanling moved south as a whole clan and had relatively strong local clan strength. Although they were unable to join the ruling group of Jiankang because they belonged to a poor family, they used their status as a strong clan to lead the refugees as a second-rate gentry. , as the military pillar of the Jiangzuo regime. In the words of Mr. Chen Yinke, it is the "military group of Jiangzuo Beiren". "The Xiao family started as a general family."

The establishment of Liu Song Dynasty was the beginning of the Lanling Xiao family's fortune. The rise of the Lanling Xiao family was due to their status as relatives. The stepmother of Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty and Song Wu Emperor, was from the Lanling Xiao family. She was later honored as the empress dowager. The branch she belonged to was called the imperial uncle's room and was the Lanling family. The earliest of the Xiao family branches to arise. The significance of the rise of this Xiao family lies not only in its powerful position, but also in giving the entire clan more possibilities to join the military and administration. For example, Xiao Daocheng, who later founded the Southern Qi Dynasty, had his father raise his status by following Xiao Sihua, the nephew of Empress Dowager Xiao, who was of the same clan. As for Xiao Yan, who later established Nanliang, his father was a general of Xiao Daocheng. At this time, the Xiao family of Lanling became famous by marriage to the Liu family of Pengcheng, a poor royal family. They were not valued and recognized by other high-ranking families, nor were they considered to be a first-class family.

But then Xiao Daocheng usurped the throne and the Xiao family of Lanling became the royal family. At the same time, a large number of family members gave up martial arts and entered literature, specializing in Ming Jing metaphysics. They gradually got rid of their status as descendants of poor military generals and began to gain recognition from the traditional gentry. In particular, the Lanling Xiao family's imperial uncle's family successfully transformed into a cultural noble family and was recognized and respected by other high-ranking families. For example, Wang Jian of the Langya Wang family, the first-class gentry clan in Jiangzuo, married the imperial uncle of the Lanling Xiao clan. This marriage greatly improved the Lanling Xiao clan's social status and also reflected the high-ranking gentry clan's respect for them. Lanling Xiao's approval. The overseas Chinese surnamed Gaomen, and was eventually designated as Wang Xie Yuan Xiao. The Lanling Xiao family finally got rid of their status as a poor family and became a first-class noble family in the south of the Yangtze River with the help of Liu Song's relatives and the royal families of the two dynasties. In fact, although the gentry clan occasionally rose and fell, the Lanling Xiao family was the only one who could start from the Han clan with military exploits and eventually be listed in the Gaomen Jia clan.

During the Hou Jing Rebellion, Jiankang was captured, Jiangzuo Gaomen suffered heavy losses, and the Southern Dynasty was completely exhausted. The great generals of the Zhuguo State of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yu Jinzhi and Jin Gong Yuwenhu, rushed to Jiangling, and the remaining gentry with overseas surnames suffered an almost devastating blow. The next year, with the support of Yu Wentai, Xiao Jin proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangling and became the puppet regime of the Western Wei Dynasty. Then, during the internal fighting of the Guanlong Group, Yang Sui replaced Zhou, and Xiao Cong, the last emperor of the Lanling Xiao family, entered the dynasty, ending the history of Xi Liang. However, the Lanling Xiao family did not decline due to the fall of the kingdom. Instead, relying on the high cultural status it gained in Jiangnan, it frequently married within the Guanlong Group and successfully joined it. There were ten prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty (one prime minister from the imperial uncle's house and 1 prime ministers from the Qi Liang house. Among them, 9 of the prime ministers from the Qi Liang house came from the line of Prince Zhaoming Xiao Yi). It was not until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms that the world's aristocratic families began to decline. .

Liang Xiao's family prospered on the left side of the Yangtze River, and they actually made great contributions to the people. In the end, they did no great harm. Since Yu was caught and escaped, all the eight prime ministers had great reputations and virtues, and the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. The prosperity of aristocratic families existed at the end of ancient times.

Liu Han was very confused about the Lanling Xiao family. Unlike the Bohai Gao family, this family was not a high-ranking family at present, and it was also different from the Bohai Gao family's lunatic family, but this family also wanted to be emperor.

"That's all..."

The killing this time has made people panic, and the nobles have become frightened. Going too far is not enough, so Liu Han decided to let the Lanling Xiao family go for the time being. "Tell George (Xin Pingzi) that if the Lanling Xiao family cooperates, they will be let off once."

"Lord, then Xiao Jian..."

"Let him switch with Chen Zhen. Xiao Jian will serve as the governor of Shangdang, and Chen Zhen will go south and serve as the governor of Pengcheng."

"As ordered."

After the war, there must be drastic personnel changes. Local officials in Xuzhou underwent a wave of purges in order to replace them with fresh blood to help Liu Han control the place. Years of changes have formed a set of rules, and Liu Han only needs to control the general direction.

Xin Ping naturally obeyed Liu Han's orders. His niece and the heir apparent were settled, so what else could he want to do? They are already tied to the royal family, and if this situation continues, as long as the Xin family doesn't make any mistakes, then... just thinking about it makes my blood boil. (End of chapter)
