Jinyi Night Walk

"Master Yan, Xie Laocai sent us here like fire, what is he going to do?"

"I'm also wondering. I heard that Xie Laocai has become a nobleman in the court in the past two years. As a result, a leather goods merchant in Beiping Prefecture has become more prosperous now. There is no one who does not intervene in all kinds of businesses. If you want to say that he used to Wealth can be overwhelming, and now it is almost considered as rich as an enemy, do you think that the Xie family in Chenjun is not big enough, and want to find a more proud ancestor?"

"No, among the celebrities of the Xie family, is there anyone more famous than the Chen Jun Xie family headed by Xie An and Xie Xuan?"

"Well... unless he changes his surname, if he wants to change his surname to Li, I can prove that he is a descendant of Tang Taizong. If he wants to change his surname to Zhao, I can conclude that he is from Song Taizu's lineage!"

Some people giggled and said, "It's hard work like this. If he doesn't change his name or surname when he's sitting down, I can kill him as a descendant of the Tang and Song emperors. Hehe! Since ancient times, once the emperor's country fell and the clan was exiled, in order to avoid disaster, they changed their surnames." There are quite a few name changers, as long as you search carefully, you can always find some evidence for it!"

In the huge banquet hall of Xie's family, those friends who are very familiar with each other are drinking tea and eating seasonal fruits and vegetables in the north and south, chatting and joking with each other, waiting for Xie Chuanzhong to reveal the answer to the mystery.

These people are all unsatisfied literati who have not developed in their official careers and have turned to seek other careers.Erecting monuments, writing epitaphs, inscribing chastity archways, posting wedding letters, family letters and obituaries... They can always get some money to polish their pens, but their biggest business is to help others recognize their ancestors.

After more than 100 years of rule by the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people became the masters of the Central Plains again. The cultural inheritance of the Han people is somewhat broken. Because they made great contributions to the world and became high-ranking officials, and because they seized the opportunity to do business and made a fortune, many people have the right to have After gaining power, what she wanted most was an identity that boosted her reputation, a certification of heredity.

At the stage of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many wealthy families had needs in this regard, and these "experts" who specialized in helping people verify their ancestors came into being.This kind of business is not opened for three years, and it is open for three years. Don't expect to meet such an ancestor looking for one or two years, but any such customer is definitely not short of money. Enough to keep them comfortable for a few years.

However, they are not talking in empty words, such textual research is not convincing.These people are not only familiar with the historical events of various dynasties recorded in history books, geographical changes, and population movements. In order to increase their knowledge in this area, they also read more ancient books, and even a family letter written by the ancients, a poem inscribed, are included in their research.

For example, an ancient family book accidentally mentioned that "Qiu Shang returned to his post at his home, and there was a flood on the road, and there were refugees migrating, so the trip was delayed." Where he was an official at that time, and which route he took to go back and forth, he could infer a flood in a certain year, month and day that was not recorded in the history books and county government annals, as well as the number of refugees, and the iron evidence of where they left their hometowns and moved.

It is precisely because these people's aspirations are for this, and the purpose of studying all ancient historical materials is also for this, so the expertise in this area is indeed far beyond those of the officials who have read poetry and books. Chen Shou looked for those celebrities, but It was Yu Blind who asked, but these people are dedicated to this.

It's just that these experts who specialize in identifying people's ancestors never thought that Xie Chuanzhong came to them today not to help people identify their ancestors, but to make trouble for a group of experts who like to identify people as their ancestors.

They were talking and laughing when Xie Chuanzhong walked in.

As soon as Xie Chuanzhong came in, the living room suddenly fell silent. Don't look at these people who have no respect for Xie Chuanzhong in private, but when they saw him, they didn't dare to show a gesture of contempt.

Wealth is also a kind of trend, and for those who seek money like them, it is an irresistible trend.

But they soon discovered that today's owner may not be Xie Laocai.

There was another person standing beside Xie Chuanzhong, a very handsome young man dressed in a Taoist uniform and with a knotted scarf in his hair.

The hall is full of guests, and the owner is at the door. This person walked in with the owner, but it seems that he is the owner here, walking calmly, calmly, and acting like no one else, but the owner Xie Chuanzhong, but Like his follower, he bowed his back slightly, half a step behind him, without the slightest sense of occupying the magpie's nest.

This kind of aura is not an innate aura of domineering, there is no such person in the world.Even if he is a prince, if he is thrown into the pile of beggars as soon as he is born, he is still a beggar. At most, his father is heroic enough and his mother is handsome enough. Anyway, he's still a beggar.

Xia Xun's kind of spirit was gradually cultivated by him in a high position for a long time, and he was always surrounded by subordinate officials in everything he did. You are a movie star-level actor like Xie Xie, otherwise you would not be able to learn it.

Xia Xun glanced lightly. Everyone felt that he saw him, but felt that he didn't see anyone in his eyes. The pretended respect turned into genuine awe from the heart.Standing up was only perfunctory at first, and some people just bent their knees slightly, ready to sit down at any time. At this time, they quietly stood up straight, and moved their knees against the chair back slightly, making a friction sound.

"Everyone!"

Xie Chuanzhong's face was flushed, and he was trembling with excitement. Although Xie Chuanzhong was an illiterate rough man, he knew how to measure. He never dared to tell anyone about the affair between him and Fuguo's mansion without Xia Xun's permission. But today Xia Xun told him that he could announce it to others, and Xie Chuanzhong was naturally very excited.

Xie Chuanzhong made a bow to all the guests, and said with a smile: "Everyone here today is because Xie has something to ask for your help. To be precise, this is not Xie's business, but Xie's uncle. ..."

Xie Chuanzhong took a step to the side, and bowed his hands respectfully to Xia Xun: "Everyone knows that Xie is a descendant of the Xie family in Chen County. What everyone doesn't know is that there is an aunt in my family who lives in Jinling now. The husband and son-in-law married to this aunt Xie is the Duke Fu of the current court!"

At this moment, all the guests in the room really exploded, and they almost popped their eyes out: "Fu Guogong? Is this young man Fu Guogong?"

They were in Beijing, and they heard the most about Liaodong. Of course, they knew that the imperial envoy Yang Xu, who is now in the heyday of Liaodong, is the Duke of the country.They helped to find Xie Laocai's cheap ancestors, but he didn't expect to be a relative of a state prince for this. What kind of shit luck did Xie Laocai have?

Xie Chuanzhong was very satisfied with everyone's performance. He stood smiling and satisfied his vanity for a while, then coughed and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this... is Duke Fu!"

Only then did the crowd come to their senses, one by one hurriedly left the table, bowed and saluted, and chattered authentically: "Caomin has seen Lord Fuguo!"

"Excuse me, excuse me, everyone is Chuanzhong's friend, don't be polite!"

Xia Xun said with a smile: "Everyone be quiet, please listen to me!"

After a word, there was no sound in the hall, Xia Xun said: "Everyone, I called Chuanzhong to invite everyone here today because my country has an important matter, and I need everyone's help!"

Xia Xun took a few steps forward and said: "My country's lord is now entrusted with the strategy of Liaodong, and everyone must have heard of it. Liaodong is our inherent territory in China, but now, North Korea sent envoys to claim that the Yalu River and the west of the Tumen River A large piece of territory is their country, and the people in that territory should also belong to them. They even said that the ancestral tomb of their Korean king is still in my Liaodong territory. In other words, the entire Liaodong should be their territory! "

At Xia Xun's words, everyone in the hall exploded.

These ordinary people, regardless of whether they are in high positions or not enjoying the people's fat, but their national feelings are simple and ruthless, simple and direct, ours is ours, even if that piece of land is lost, they don't do other shit at all , but he was more righteous and indignant than those officials who were in his position and should be responsible. When they heard that someone came to steal their own country's things with sweet words, they immediately exploded and shouted and cursed.

"These sons of bitches, beat him up!"

"Shameless! My lord, the Tatars are so ferocious, they are no match for you. North Korea is just a fart. If they refuse to accept it, they will beat him until he is convinced!"

"Your Highness..."

Xia Xun pressed down with both hands, and said: "Everyone be quiet! I am Ming Dynasty, the kingdom of heaven, North Korea is my vassal country, it is impossible to fight, His Majesty the emperor wants to convince people with reason, but now the government has searched through Liaojin "Geography" As you all know, although the Liao and Jin dynasties learned some of our Central Plains culture, the culture and education have always been very poor. It's not documented at all.

North Korea took advantage of this, claiming that these places were not originally Chinese territory, but Meng Yuan took them from them by force. Now I, Ming Dynasty, expelled the Tartars and replaced them with the world, as a state of etiquette and superiority Chaotian Kingdom should give them back the land they snatched from the robbers.

Ladies and gentlemen, North Korea is nothing to be afraid of. For his unreasonable demands, it is easy for us to drive them away!With just one word from the emperor, they had to obediently leave, and they didn't dare to criticize him if he had the guts.However, the emperor can't do this, he didn't bring soldiers here, but reasoned with us.

Who is Liaodong in the past? We have to show evidence to convince them. Otherwise, even if you drive them away, those who can drive them away will not be able to stop their mouths. They cry about our Daming everywhere. Bullying others, wouldn't that embarrass the emperor? "

Everyone in the hall became quiet after hearing the words, Xia Xun said: "You are all knowledgeable people, especially good at history, geography, and cultural changes. Therefore, the Duke of this country would like to ask everyone to help me with this!"

Xie Chuanzhong interjected: "Don't worry, everyone, this salary will definitely not lose everyone!"

Everyone said: "Thank you for being polite, I didn't say anything about this matter, this is helping our Daming, helping ourselves, we have to find out the real evidence and tell them to get out of here!"

Xia Xun smiled and said: "Everyone used to help people find their ancestors. Today, everyone will take the trouble to teach those who misrecognized their ancestors a lesson, so that they won't worry about other people's place all day long! Please! Already!"
