Chapter 619 Expert versus expert (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
"Master Yan, what is Xie Laocai trying to do by calling us here like he's on fire?"
"I'm also puzzled. I heard that Xie Laocai has become a big nobleman in the court in the past two years. As a result, a leather goods merchant in Beiping Prefecture has become more developed now. There is no business in the market that he has not intervened in. To say that he used to
You are so rich that you are almost as rich as your country. Do you think... you think the Xie family in Chen County is not big enough and you want to find a more proud ancestor?"
"No way. Among the celebrities of the Xie family, is there anyone more famous than the Xie family of Chen County, headed by Xie An and Xie Xuan?"
"Well..., unless he changes his surname, if he changes his surname to Li, I will be able to prove that he is a descendant of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. If he changes his surname to Zhao, I will be able to conclude that he is a descendant of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty!"
Someone chuckled: "It's such a waste of time. If he doesn't change his name in office or his surname in office, I can also deny him a descendant of the Tang and Song emperors. Hehe! Since ancient times, emperors, once their country is overthrown and their clans are in exile, in order to avoid disaster, they change their surnames.
There are quite a few people who have changed their names, and as long as you search carefully, you can always find some relevant evidence!"
In the huge banquet hall of the Xie family, the very familiar friends were drinking tea, eating seasonal fruits from the north and the south, chatting and joking with each other, waiting for Xie Chuanzhong to reveal the answer to the mystery.
These people are all dissatisfied literati who have not developed in their official careers and have turned to look for other opportunities. They erect monuments, write epitaphs, inscribe chastity memorials, write wedding letters, obituary letters from home..., they can always do something.
They get some money to polish their writing, but their biggest business is helping others identify their ancestors.
After more than a hundred years of rule by the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people once again became the masters of the Central Plains. The cultural heritage of the Han people was somewhat chronological. Those who made great contributions to conquering the world became high-ranking officials, and those who seized the opportunity to do business made a fortune. Many people have
After gaining power, what you want most is an identity that will boost your reputation and a certification of your bloodline.
During the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many wealthy and aristocratic families had such needs, and these "experts" who specialized in helping people verify their ancestors came into being. This kind of business does not open for three years, and lasts for three years after opening. Don't look at one or two
It was only in the 1980s that they met such a customer looking for their ancestors, but such a customer would definitely not be short of money. If they made a deal, the generous reward would be enough for them to live comfortably for several years.
However, they are not just talking nonsense. Such evidence is not convincing. These people are not only familiar with the historical events of various dynasties, geographical changes, and population movements recorded in history books. In order to increase their knowledge in this area, they also read
More ancient books, even a letter home and a poem written by an ancient person are all included in their research.
For example, an ancient person accidentally mentioned in a book that "When I returned to my post in autumn, I encountered a flood on the road and there were refugees migrating, so my trip was delayed." Such a casual remark, after they carefully studied the ancestral home of this high official, they found out that
Where he was an official at that time and what route he took on his way back and forth, we can deduce the irrefutable evidence that there was a flood on a certain year, month and day that was not recorded in history books and county records, and that there were a number of refugees who left their hometowns and moved to where.
Precisely because these people have this ambition and the purpose of studying all ancient historical materials is also this, their expertise in this area is indeed far beyond that of those officials who have read poetry and books. Chen Shou looked for those celebrities, but
It's about asking the blind, but these people are specialized in doing this.
However, this group of experts who specialize in helping people identify their ancestors never expected that Xie Chuanzhong came to them today not to help people identify their ancestors, but to ask them to make trouble for a group of experts who specialize in identifying others as their ancestors.
They were talking and laughing when Xie Chuanzhong walked in.
As soon as Xie Chuanzhong came in, the living room immediately became quiet. Although these people had no respect for Xie Chuanzhong in private, they did not dare to show contempt when they saw him.
Wealth is also a kind of power. For those of them who seek wealth, it is an unstoppable trend.
However, they soon discovered that today's owner may not be Xie Laocai.
There was also a person standing next to Xie Chuanzhong. He was a handsome young man in Taoist uniform and with a flowing scarf in his hair. He was elegant and unrestrained.
The hall is full of guests, and the master is at the door. This person walked in with the master, but it seems that he is the master here. He walks calmly, calmly, and behaves as if there is no one else around. However, the master here, Xie Chuanzhong,
Like his follower, his back is slightly bowed, half a step behind him, and he has no sense of the dove occupying the magpie's nest.
This kind of aura is not an innate aura of a king. There is no such person in the world. Even if he is a prince, if he is thrown into a heap of beggars as soon as he is born, he is still a beggar. At most, he is a father.
Yingwei, I am handsome enough to give him a good appearance with a full heaven and a round earth, but no matter how you look at it, he is still a beggar.
Xia Xun's temperament was gradually cultivated after he had been in a high position for a long time and was always surrounded by subordinate officials wherever he went. He did not have such a status and did not stay in such a position for several years to cultivate and cultivate him. Unless
You are a movie star-level actor like Xie Xie, otherwise you would not be able to learn anything.
Xia Xun glanced lightly. Everyone felt that he had seen him, but at the same time, he felt that he did not notice anyone. The pretentious respect that he had originally had turned into a truly heartfelt awe. It was just perfunctory at first.
When standing up, some people just bend their knees slightly, ready to sit down at any time. At this time, they quietly stand up straight, push the chair with their knees and move back slightly, making a friction sound.
"Everyone!"
Xie Chuanzhong's face was flushed and he was trembling with excitement. Although Xie Chuanzhong was a rough man who could not read or write, he knew how to use his discretion. He had not dared to tell anyone about his affair with Duke Fu without Xia Xun's permission.
, Xia Xun told him today that he could announce it to others, and Xie Chuanzhong was naturally very excited.
Xie Chuanzhong made a bow to the guests in the hall and said with a smile: "All you laborers are here today because Xie has something to ask for your help. To be precise, this is not Xie's business, but Xie's great-uncle."
…”
Xie Chuanzhong took a step to the side and bowed his hands respectfully towards Xia Xun: "Everyone knows that Xie is a descendant of the Xie family in Chen County. What everyone doesn't know is that our family has an aunt who now lives in Jinling.
The husband that my aunt Xie married is the current Duke of Fuguo!"
At this time, all the guests in the hall were really excited. Everyone almost stared out their eyes: "Fuxinguo Gong? Is this young man Fuguo Gong?"
They were in Beijing and had heard the most about Liaodong affairs. Of course they knew that Yang Xu, the Imperial Governor-General who was now in the ascendant in Liaodong, was the Duke of Fuguo. It was they who helped find Xie Laocai's cheap ancestor, but they didn't expect that they would do it for this.
What kind of bad luck did Xie Laocai have by becoming a relative of a prince?
Xie Chuanzhong was very satisfied with everyone's performance. He stood with a smile, satisfying his vanity for a while, and then he coughed and said: "Dear friends, this... is Duke Fu!"
Only then did everyone wake up and hurriedly left the table one by one, bowed and saluted, and kept talking: "The common people have seen Mr. Fuguo!"
"No gifts, no gifts, we are all loyal friends, don't be polite!"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Everyone, be quiet, please listen to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the hall. Xia Xun said: "Everyone, I asked Chuanzhong to invite everyone here today because my country has an important matter and I want your help!"
Xia Xun took a few steps forward and said: "My Lord is now envoying to Liaodong, and everyone must have heard about it. Liaodong is China's inherent territory, but now, North Korea has sent envoys to see him, claiming that the Yalu River and the west of the Tumen River
A large area of territory is their territory, and the people in that territory should also belong to them. They even say that the ancestral grave of their Korean king is still in my territory of Liaodong. In other words, the entire Liaodong should be their territory!
"
With Xia Xun's words, everyone in the hall immediately exploded.
Although these ordinary people do not hold high positions and do not enjoy the blessings of the people, their national feelings are simple and selfless, simple and direct. What is ours is ours. Even if the place is lost, it is no big deal.
, but he was more indignant than those officials who were in their positions and responsible for their responsibilities. When they heard that someone came to steal their country's things with smooth words, they immediately became furious and started shouting and cursing.
"Those sons of bitches, beat them up!"
"How shameless! My lord, the Tatars are so ferocious that they are no match for you. Even North Korea is nothing. If they don't accept it, beat them until they do!"
"My lord..."
Xia Xun pressed his hands down and said: "Quiet, everyone! I am the Ming Dynasty, the Kingdom of Heaven, North Korea is my vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, fighting is impossible, His Majesty the Emperor must convince people with reason, but now the government has searched through the "Geography" of Liao and Jin Dynasties
"Geographical Chronicles"... As you all know, although the Liao and Jin dynasties had some knowledge of the Central Plains culture, they were always very poor in culture and education. "Geographical Chronicles" is simple and illegible, and includes the jurisdiction and governance of the areas mentioned by North Korea and the tribes at that time.
There is no record at all.
North Korea took advantage of this and claimed that these places were not Chinese territory in the first place, but were taken from them by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty by force. Now we, the Ming Dynasty, have expelled the Tartars and replaced the world as a state of etiquette.
Chaotian Kingdom should return to them the land they took back from the bandits.
Everyone, there is nothing to be afraid of North Korea. It is easy for us to send them away with their unreasonable demands! The emperor just says a word, and they have to leave obediently. Even if he has the courage to do so, he will not dare to criticize. However, the emperor cannot do this.
, they did not come with troops, but came to reason with us.
Whose place was this Liaodong in the past? We have to provide evidence to convince them. Otherwise, even if you drive them away and drive away their people, you can't stop their mouths. They cry everywhere about our Ming Dynasty.
Bullying others, doesn't that bring shame on the emperor?"
Everyone in the hall fell silent after hearing this, and Xia Xun said: "You are all knowledgeable people, especially good at history, geography, and humanistic changes. Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me with this!"
Xie Chuanzhong interjected: "Don't worry, everyone, this salary will definitely not be missing from everyone!"
Everyone said one after another: "Thank you for being so polite. I didn't say anything about this. This is to help our Ming Dynasty and ourselves. We have to find out the real evidence and tell them to get out of here in despair!"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "You used to help people find their ancestors. Now, let's take the trouble to teach those who mistakenly identify their ancestors, so that they don't have to worry about others all day long! Please
Got it!"
