Chapter 295 The Dugu Family
The surname Dugu comes from the surname Liu, which originated from the Xianbei tribe in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is a descendant of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty who took Dugu as his surname.

Liu Jin, the grandson of Liu Xiu's son Liu Fu, was a general of the Liao Dynasty. He failed in the attack on the Xiongnu and was captured and imprisoned under Dushan. His descendants include Shili Chanyu, who is the king of Guli and named Dugu tribe.

It was passed down to the sixth generation, Sun Luochen, who moved to Luoyang with Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and became a native of Henan. He was named after his tribe and was called the Dugu family.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Central Plains was divided again, and the Tuoba tribe of the Xianbei nation, which had moved from western Liaoning to the northwest, emerged.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, the Xiutu tribes voluntarily affiliated themselves to Tuoba Gui, the founder of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Daowu, and became known as the Xianbei Dugu tribe in later generations. They were married to the nobles of the Tuoba tribe for generations and became one of the eight original tribes of the Northern Wei Dynasty. One of the 36 nobles after the establishment of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Among the descendants of the Dugu clan, most of them were changed to the single surname Liu in Chinese characters during the Sinicization reform implemented after Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, and some were changed to the single character surname Du or Gu. Of course, the compound surname Dugu is still retained. of the few branches.

The most famous person in the Dugu family is Dugu Xin. Dugu Xin is handsome and good at horseback riding and archery.

He was initially a subordinate of Ge Rong. After Ge Rong failed, he surrendered to Er Zhu Rong.

Later, he followed Emperor Xiaowu to the west and was awarded the title of Duke of Fuyang County.

After the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty, Dugu trusted the generals of Wei, the military governors of the three Jingzhou states, the great governors, and the governor of Jingzhou to appease the people of Jingzhou occupied by the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Of course, Dugu Xin is most famous for his status as the father-in-law of the three dynasties. His eldest daughter Dugu Prajna, Empress Yu Wenyu of Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was posthumously named Empress Mingjing.

The fourth daughter, Dugu Mantuo, was the mother of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty and was posthumously named Queen Yuan Zhen.

The seventh daughter Dugu Jialuo, Empress Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, posthumously named Empress Wenwen.

In the Zhou and Sui dynasties, they all entered the royal family, and all three generations were relatives. This has never happened since ancient times.

This shows how prominent the Dugu family is. Such a family is like a diving crocodile. They will not do something for no reason.

The targeting of Ji Song this time was probably not done by chance.

There is also a story about Dugu Xin. The well where Gujing tribute wine is brewed is so good because Dugu Ruyi once threw a sword into it.

With the smell of handsome men, the water quality is extraordinary.

Yuwentai saw that Dugu believed in Xiayou as he wished and was able to convince everyone, so he specially named him "Xin".Appointed as one of the eight pillar states.

After Yuwentai's death, Yuwenhu, one of the eight pillars, took over the government.

Minister Zhao Gui wanted to conspire with Duguxin to kill Yuwenhu and return power to Yuwentai's son.Dugu Xin said he should think about it.

After this hesitation, Yu Wenhu's poisonous wine was delivered to his door.

This is the founder of the Dugu family. Although he brought harm to himself, he benefited his descendants.

In fact, he is a person who values ​​career rather than family.Such a character, such an ending.How many people can cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world?
Dugu Xin's most famous thing in history is that he gave birth to the queen of the Three Kingdoms.When he was in his early thirties after running west, he married another wife and took concubines, and raised six sons and seven daughters. The amazing thing is that all six sons were born to his first wife, Guo.

The eldest daughter married Yu Wentai's eldest son, the fourth daughter married into the Li family, and the seventh daughter married into the Yang family. Later they were all queens, and Yang Guang and Li Yuan were all his grandsons.It is worth noting that the children of the Dugu family have strong personalities. I don’t know how they were raised: Yang Guang’s mother, Dugu Jialuo, the queen of the Sui Dynasty, was famous for her unequivocal advocacy of monogamy.
He objected to men taking concubines and beat the maid Yang Jian had played with for the night to death. Emperor Yang Jian did not dare to have a fit and ran away from home to sulk.

But now Dugu Mou is not the descendant of Dugu Xin, which is strange to everyone. His father was the head of the Dugu family in the previous generation, so why is he not a descendant of Dugu Xin?Could it be?
In fact, this starts with his grandfather, Dugu Kai, whose courtesy name is Xiuze, whose real surname is Li, and who was a general of the Qi State.

His father, Li Tun, participated in the Battle of Shayuan with Gaoyang of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He was defeated and captured. He was made a subordinate and retainer of Dugu Xin. Their relationship became increasingly close and he gained the trust of Dugu Xin. Together with Gao Chuan's father, he was given the surname Dugu.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne and was transferred to the general manager of Bingzhou.If you become blind due to illness, you will beg for bones.Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty issued an edict: "The Duke has served as an old minister for two generations. He has high reputation and good reputation. He lies down to control it and does not have to work personally to take charge."

His eldest son Dugu Lingyun was sent to supervise provincial and county affairs.This is what he sees.A few years later, he was transferred to the post of governor of Changping, but he died without taking the matter seriously, and his posthumous title was Gong.His sons include Ling Yun, Ping Yun, and Yan Yun, all of whom are well-known!

Now you understand, the direct descendants of the Dugu family either changed their surnames to Liu and other surnames, or died, and then Dugu Kai became the head of the Dugu family.

Is there a sense of déjà vu that Yuwen Shu was a slave of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty back then and eventually became the head of the Yuwen family?
In fact, this is related to the original background of the times. Everyone knows that both Dugu and Yuwen are the products of the Sinicization of the Xianbei Hu people.

After going south, he was ordered by the emperor to attach himself to the Han family at that time.

The royal family of Li and Tang Dynasty was attached to the Li family of Longxi at that time, and Yang Jian was also attached to the Yang family of Hongnong.

The northern barbarians don't pay much attention to bloodline inheritance, and their bloodlines are very confusing, so no one should be surprised about this!
Dugu Yanyun, the father of Dugu Mou, was the son of Dugu Kai. Li Shimin also made great efforts when he ascended the throne.

In the ninth year of Wude, Prince Li Jiancheng and King Li Yuanji of Qi conspired to kill King Li Shimin of Qin.Yuchi Jingde and Changsun Wuji asked the King of Qin to kill the people first.

Therefore, the King of Qin secretly summoned Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to make plans.

On June [-], Changsun Wuji and nine others, including Yuchi Jingde, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, Liu Shili, Gongsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun, Du Junchuo, Zheng Rentai, and Li Mengchang, suppressed the forces of the two palaces.

Later, he served as the governor of Youzhou and the Duke of Liyang. He attacked the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks and died heroically. He was selected to be buried with Zhaoling.

Now we basically understand the origin of the Dugu family. Dugu Mou is the only descendant of the Dugu family at this time, so he himself has high hopes from many people.

"Mr. Lang, this Li Xiuning has gone too far. He actually dares to do this to Mr. Lang. He will never let it go!" As a family general, Dugu Cheng, the head of his own family has been humiliated like this. How can he give up!
"What else? Do you want me to cry in front of the Supreme Emperor?" Dugu Mou said.

"Don't you think about it, then the good Marquis is easy to bully? With my aunt protecting him, who can do anything to him?"

"Besides, it's a trivial matter in the first place, so I've lowered my profile. If Ji Song still dares to be aggressive, it won't be too late to argue with him when the time comes!"

"Then what if Ji Song doesn't take it seriously?" Dugu Cheng said.

"Wouldn't that be better? You all know that Ji Song is not someone to be trifled with. Li Shimin also loves him very much. If necessary, it is better to turn this person into a friend."

"This time we tried it out. We will see what he can do when he returns to Chang'an. I hope he won't disappoint me."

Dugumou looked to the north and whispered.
