  Chapter 326 The Millennium Qin Family

  Xianyang.

  On the north bank of the Weishui River, the Qin family's 10,000 mu of soybean seedlings have withered yellow leaves and full pods, and the harvest season is about to enter.

In the villa by the water near the edge of the field, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who are proficient in genealogy are discussing with Qin Lang about Qin Lang's family tree. The Ministry of Rites, following the order of the emperor, has dispatched a group of genealogists to form a Qin Lang family tree compiling team. He spent a lot of energy studying the history of the Qin family.

"According to our research, the ancestor of Yi Guogong is believed to have come from the Ji surname, one of the eight ancient surnames, after the Yellow Emperor. The Qin surname was derived from the Ji surname, which originated in the Qilu area. The seventy-two sage students of Confucius Among them, there are four people with the surname Qin."

  According to the research results of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, because these four Qin surnamed students of Confucius also produced two hall names of the Qin surname, one is Leshantang and the other is Sanxiantang. Leshantang is because Confucius once praised people surnamed Qin for their good morals and kindness, and the three of Sanxiantang refer to the large number.

  Qin Lang admired these guys, they could go all the way back to the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

Then they talked about some famous people from the ancestors of Qin Lang's family, such as Bian Que, a genius doctor in the Warring States Period. It turned out that his real surname was Qin, his name was Xu, his style was Yueren, and his nickname was Lu Yi. At that time, he was a famous doctor in Bohai County of Yan State. So people at that time used Bian Que, a genius doctor in the ancient Yellow Emperor era, to honor him.

   Only then did Qin Lang know that the real Bian Que was a famous doctor in the age of mythology, and Qin Huan was just the second Bian Que.

Then during the Warring States period, Qin Kai, a famous general of the Yan State, was said to have presided over the construction of the Great Wall, which was more than 4,000 miles long. .

  Qin Wuyang, the grandson of Qin Kai, is the companion of Jing Ke who assassinated King Qin.

Then their descendants, in the Han Dynasty, moved from Shandong to Fufeng, Guanzhong. Later, Qin Xi, who lived in Fufeng Maoling, had served as the prefect of two thousand stones, and there were four other brothers of the same clan who served as two thousand stones. The post of prefect, so there is the name of Fufeng Wanshi Qin's family.

Qin Peng, the sixth grandson of Qin Xi, and his younger sister were noblemen during the Han Dynasty. Qin Peng later participated in the Northern Expedition to the Huns, and was awarded the title of Shanyang Taishou after accumulating meritorious service. After that, he served as the Yingchuan Taishou. His two younger brothers also served as Shesheng in the Han Dynasty. A high-ranking military post like a lieutenant.

Later, it was the branch of Qin Peng who settled in Licheng, Qizhou. After that, Qin Xiu, the seventh patriarch of Qin Qiong, served as Doctor Jin Ziguanglu and Tai Changqing of the Western Jin Dynasty, and another ancestor served as the prefect of Leling. The officials are getting smaller and smaller.

   Qin Qiong’s great-grandfather, Qin Xiaoda, was only the county magistrate of Guangnian in the Northern Wei Dynasty. His grandfather, Qin Fangtai, only served as the official secretary of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

"The Qin family in Licheng is incredible. It originated from the surname Ji. It was a student of Confucius. In the Han Dynasty, it was even the name of the Wanshi Qin family. Later, it settled in the Licheng branch. There have also been three generations of eunuchs, and all generations have been officials. Officials, but in your generation, Yi Guogong, it is even more terrible. One family, two prime ministers and four dukes! It has already surpassed the name of Wanshi, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty."

   It is really difficult for these officials to sort out such a brilliant family tree all the way.

Qin Lang also heard from Qin Qiong before that the Qin family in Licheng really respected Qin Peng as the ancestor, and the sixth generation was indeed the Qin family with the third assistant Wanshi. As for whether it was Confucius' seventy-two sages It is more difficult to verify the students with the surname of Qin in the middle school.

   But it's really amazing that people can actually come up with such a pedigree. However, he felt that there should be no hard evidence for Wanshi Qin's family to go up, just like Li Shimin's family insisted on saying that their family is after Lao Tzu, 100% blind recognition of their ancestors.

  However, after reading the family tree they sorted out, Qin Lang discovered a problem. Qin Xiu, the seventh patriarch of Qin Qiong, was actually the grandson of Qin Yilu.

  Who is Qin Yilu? Those who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms certainly know that it is Lu Bu's general. What Qin Yilu is most famous in the Three Kingdoms is not how capable he is in fighting under Lu Bu, but because his ex-husband Du Shi was accepted by Cao Cao, a good wife.

  At that time, Qin Yilu was sent to Yuan Shu under the command of Lu Bu. Yuan Shu married the clan daughter of the Han Dynasty to Qin Yilu. At that time, Qin Yilu's wife Du Shi stayed in Xiapi with her child Qin Lang.

  Later, Cao Cao besieged Lu Bu in Xiapi. After the city was broken, Guan Yu asked Cao Cao to marry Du Shi to himself.

  So Qin Lang became Cao Cao's stepson.

  Qin Yilu later surrendered to Cao Cao, but was persuaded by Zhang Fei to surrender, but he repented not long after, and was killed by Zhang Fei.

  Cao Cao is good to his stepson Qin Lang, and he also likes Qin Lang's cautious and low-key words and deeds. He also said that no one in the world loves his stepson like him.

  Qin Lang was reused when he was Emperor Ming of Wei.

  Later, Qin Lang's son Qin Xiu abandoned martial arts and literature, and served as a doctor for more than 20 years during the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty.

  After Qin Xiu, the Qin family in Licheng practiced literature for generations, and many of their descendants served as civil servants.

   Until Qin Qiong joined the army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he started his career as a general to protect his children.

   "Are you sure?" Qin Lang asked.

  When the officials of the Ministry of Rites saw Qin Lang asking about Qin Yilu and Qin Lang's father and son, they naturally knew that this was referring to Cao Cao's robbery of Yilu's wife and adoption of Qin Lang.

   "Exactly."

   After Du took Qin Lang with Cao Cao back then, he also gave birth to two sons and one daughter for Cao Cao, which Cao Cao liked more. Otherwise, Cao Lang would not have been able to be the assistant minister of Cao Wei later.

   It's just a pity that the Sima family usurped Cao Wei later, otherwise the status of the Qin family would be even higher.

  Sanxiantang, Leshantang, Wanshi Qin Family...

After a closer look, the Qin family is indeed not an ordinary family. Qin Lang used to think that the Qin family was just a small local powerful family whose fortunes had long since fallen. He did not expect that his family's ancestors were also rich, not only once, but also experienced great ups and downs. Several times.

  From one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period, to the Wanshi Qin family in the Western Han Dynasty, to the auxiliary minister of Emperor Wei Ming, then a doctor in the Western Jin Dynasty, a county magistrate in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and then to the general and Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

  From Wen to Wu, then from Wu to Wen, and then to Wu, going around for more than a thousand years, this vitality is really too tenacious.

  Originally, Qin Lang planned to respect Qin Peng, the prefect of Shanyang in the Han Dynasty, as the ancestor, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites said that the ancestor of the Qin family was Qin Shang, one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius. He also said that Qin Shang was from Lu, and his father, Jinfu, and Confucius' father and uncle, Lianghe, were both famous for their bravery.

  The meaning in the words is that the Qin family is capable of literature and martial arts, and has been passed down for thousands of years. It is the seeds of the ancestors.

   Considering Qin Lang so much, what can Qin Lang say.

   "Since you have sorted out the inheritance of the Qin family and traced it back to this point, then take Qin Shang as the ancestor of my Qin family in Licheng."

In fact, there is no need for Qin Lang to do anything about the next thing. These officials from the Ministry of Rituals will naturally do well for Qin Lang. The general supervisor will be responsible for building the Qin Family Temple, and the Ministry of Rites will be responsible for making the Qin family's ancestral tablets and various sacrificial tablets. Ritual utensils, this thing is very particular, there are etiquette rules everywhere, and it needs to be made by the court and bestowed by the emperor.

  They will also compile a complete family tree of the Qin family based on the sorted out genealogy of the Qin family, and catalog the celebrities of the Qin family in the Qin family biography.

   This is a labor-intensive task. A lot of information has to be found in the history books, biographies and epitaphs of the past. Of course, they will definitely add some compliments and good words, and may even arrange some short stories on the Qin family.

   In short, it is just beautification.

Qin Lang smiled and asked Ah Huang to bring a box of gold, and gave each of these officials ten taels of gold, and another hundred taels of gold for them to take back to those who participated in compiling the Qin family tree and family biography. Officials and scholars share the benefits.

   If you want others to say good things about your family, you must spend some money.

   Fortunately, Qin Lang is rich. Although he himself doesn't care much about these things, it is the facade of a family after all. It is also good to decorate when conditions permit. After all, the royal family cannot be exempt from customs.

  When the officials saw that Duke Yi was so generous, they all smiled, and after a few refusals, they accepted it. Officials and literati write epitaphs and biographies for others, and don't they also receive money for the money.

  The hall name of the Qin family has also been officially confirmed as Sanxian Hall. The Qin family has produced so many sages and celebrities, so it is only natural to have this hall name.

  Respecting Qin Shang, one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius, as the ancestor, the Qin family in Licheng immediately became taller, not worse than the old noble families like King Cui Luzheng, and even a little bit stronger.

   The plaques of Leshantang and Wanshiqin's family will naturally have to order two plaques, and they will be hung together in the family temple at that time.

  Since the family temple is dedicated to the fifth generation, the Qin family's family temple has five entrances. Anyway, the emperor rewarded 20 mu of land next to the Duke Yi's mansion, so it is natural to use all of it.

  The family temple on Qinqiong's side in Qinrenfang saves trouble, just copy it here, and even the genealogy and family transmission are all ready-made.

When resting in the Yuxuanji room at night, before going to bed, he confessed that he would draw out a sum of money to help build the family temples on both sides. This meal has to be taken care of, not only has to take care of being full, but also has to eat well.

"At that time, we will kill a few more pigs. We will also kill more sheep, chickens, and ducks in our family. Building a family temple is a big deal. We can't travel on business. We will give red envelopes to those who come to do things, and each will reward some money. No matter whether it is an official or a craftsman and hired labor, it cannot be missing."

  Yu Xuanji leaned in Qin Lang's arms, with one hand on Qin Lang's chest, stroking his chest hair, "I've written it all down."

   "Sanlang, you see it's getting late, let's go to bed early."

   She deliberately emphasized the word sleep.

   "Again?"

   "I see how cute Jun'er is these days, and I really want to have a baby with Saburo."

  Qin Lang was a little overwhelmed.

  After Yuxiao gave birth to Qin Lang's son, now that the mother is more expensive than the son, she has also become the emperor of the imperial family. It's like a sparrow flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix. How can Yu Xuanji, who is of the same background, not be envious.

  Now, not to mention Yu Xuanji, the concubines in Qin Lang's backyard who have been favored, none of them are secretly working hard, and they all want to conceive a child immediately. If they give birth to a boy, their status will be stable.

   "Okay, let's fix it!"

   "Slave blows the lamp first!"

   "Blowing on the lamp, it's interesting under the lamp!"
