A group of children of the Wang family gathered together to mourn the death of their late family leader, Wang Xie, and held a coronation ceremony for Wang Bo.
The ninth-generation family member Wang Ye was born in the troubled times of Xinmang and died in the prosperous times of the Han Dynasty. She witnessed the destruction of Xinmang and the rise of the Han Dynasty from its establishment to its prosperity.
She reigned for fifty-seven years. During her reign, she completely conquered the three Han people, opened up a new colony on the Japanese island, explored the sea route to Shendu, and annexed two townships (originally two counties) in Liaodong for her family. He also fought against Wuhuan for his family and captured countless livestock.
Wang Kang, Wang Taihao, Wang Tairan, Wang Changzhi, Wang Hongyin, Wang Fengbang, Wang Tong, Wang Zhuo, Wang Ju, nine generations of people came one after another and sacrificed themselves for the family.
"The three emperors will bless you, the five emperors will protect you, and the ancient saints will accompany you. You will rest in peace in the underworld."
Jiacheng recited a prayer, and the little boys and girls among the family members stood in three rows and praised Wang Ye's achievements.
These children are all descendants of the 13th generation of the Wang family, belonging to the great-great-grandson generation of Wang Jie and nephews and nieces of Wang Bo.
The Wang family has abolished the burial system since Wang Tairan's period, so Wang Jue's burial was very simple, with only many precious burial objects buried.

At the southern end of the Liaodong hills, less than ten miles away from the manor, the Wang family carved the heads of nine family heads on the mountain. Inside the Wang family manor, there are also full-body stone statues of the nine family heads, and stone statues of each family head. The deeds of their lives are engraved everywhere.
The Wang family not only compiles genealogy, but also 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 unfolded from the perspective of the emperor, telling the past events of the emperor's era one by one, and then focusing on the emperor as the central center, they also talk about the loyal ministers around the emperor. The Past of Good Generals focuses on these loyal and good generals, and then unfolds the stories of some relatives. This story belongs to the genre of biography.
The "Wang Family History" compiled by the Wang family themselves uses the timeline as the axis to record what happened to the Wang family in each year, and each year is responsible for recording what happened in the previous year.
From the time when Wang Kang took 300 Central Plains bandits across the sea to Liaodong to conquer the natives, he continued to write until Wang Jue's instructions before his death that Wang Bo should succeed the family head, and he will continue to write in the future.
There will be no taboos. For the Wang family, there is nothing taboo about being a bandit. It is even an honor!
A bandit who was beaten by Zhang Han and fled to Liaodong finally established an eternal foundation. What is this glory?
The glory of the Wang family is achieved through the struggle of generations of family members, and is not something that the ancestors are born with.
Without ancestor Kang's efforts to cut through the thorns, how could there be Luoyueyuan? Without Wang Taihao's plundering of slaves, how could there be so many tenants farming in Luoyueyuan? Without tenants going to farm in Luoyueyuan, where would the Wang family have the money to bribe Liaodong officials? If there is no money to bribe Liaodong officialdom, how can the children of the Wang family enter the court? If there are no children of the Wang family entering the court, where will all the corruption come from? Without these corruption and corruption, how will there be money to develop the family? There will be no money to carry out family development. With the development of the family, how could it have the glory it has today?
Link by link, every step of the Wang family is progressing. From capturing slaves to expanding colonization, it is not achieved overnight, but step by step, relying on their own efforts, hard work, struggle, persistence, and overcoming obstacles.
Don’t forget the people who dug the wells when you are drinking water. We cannot dislike our ancestors just because we are now prosperous.
"We conquered the Jian people, conquered the official circles of Liaodong, conquered the three Han people and the Japanese people. In the future, we will also conquer the world. Wherever the sun and moon shine, and where the rivers go, they are all the land of my royal family and the shore of the land.
, they are all ministers of my royal family."
The children sang about the greatness and future of the Wang family. Over the past three hundred years, countless opponents have fallen, but the Wang family has always stood firm and will always stand firm.
Over the past hundreds of years, countless family members have engaged in corruption at the risk of being beheaded by the court in order to raise development funds for the family. They are deplorable. Without their fearless sacrifice and hard work, there would be no Wang family.
of thriving development.
Every child of the family who is corrupt in the officialdom is great and worthy of respect for the Wang family, and must be passed down to generations of family children, because it is their bravery that allows the family to develop.
"History of the Wang Family" refers to these nine generations of family heads as the period of the Nine Dynasties of Mingjuns, or the rule of the Nine Generations.
After the prayer, Jiacheng held a coronation ceremony for Wang Bo, the twelfth generation of the family.
Wang Ping looked at the buried Wang Ping with wet eyes, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry: "Old grandmother, Ping'er... you're late."
After the coronation ceremony, according to custom, the new head of the family needs to mourn for the previous head of the family for seven days, and the remaining family members need to mourn for the previous head of the family for three days.
However, Wang Ping insisted on mourning for a month, and everyone had no choice but to let him mourn in front of Wang Ping's mausoleum for a month.
Those in mourning were not only the Wang family, but also the subjects in the Wang family's ruling area, as well as the entire Liaodong. Even the prefect of Liaodong had to wear mourning clothes to mourn remotely in the county. White cloth strips were hung on the streets and alleys across Liaodong. All Liaodong officials were also mourning.
Wear mourning clothes and mourn for the king for three days.
The descendants of the three major families of Zhang, Li, and Lu all wore mourning clothes and mourned for three days. The heads of the three major families even came to the Wang family's ancestral mausoleum in person and knelt in front of Wang Jue's mausoleum to mourn.
The entire Liaodong was completely white. Even when the emperor passed away, there had never been such a scene in Liaodong.
When Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu died, the four major families only asked their own family members to mourn for Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, but did not ask the officials and people of the entire Liaodong to mourn.
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 Han Dynasty in Liaodong is far less than that of the Wang family.
a month later
Wang Pu's mourning was over. The first thing he did after the mourning was over was to check his family tree and family history. When he found that Wang Changzhi and Wang Changjiong recorded in the family tree and family history did belong to the Wang family in Liaodong, Wang Pu couldn't help but wonder about the Langya Wang family and the Taiyuan family.
Wang was disgusted.
I can don’t want it, but you can’t steal it!
Wang Po found some imperial edicts of Wang Changzhi and Wang Changjiong from the family's holy relics. These were the imperial edicts of the two people who were promoted to nobility by the imperial court. They have been properly preserved by the Wang family. They were originally intended to be kept as antique cultural relics, but now they are.
It's come in handy.
"With these imperial edicts from the time of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, my two ancestors of the Wang family will definitely be able to clear their names!" Wang Po vowed in his heart.
After putting these imperial edicts properly, he handed over all family affairs to the family council.
"I concentrate on studying Confucian classics and don't know much about the development of the family. Family affairs can be left to the family council and the family council. There is no need to ask my opinion. I want to return to the Central Plains to do more important things and serve the two of you.
The ancestor’s name is rectified!”
The head of the family, Wang Bo, left the Wang family manor with these words and quickly left the Wang family manor. Although he was the head of the Wang family, after such a long period of development, the current Wang family's mechanism has become much more sound than before. Even without him as the head of the family, it can still operate as usual.
