Chapter 53 Inheritance

If you haven't changed any other words, please do not subscribe!

In March, warm as spring, Xiong Jing looked forward to the birth of his son. This was the continuation of his bloodline and the continuation of his political philosophy. For thousands of years, ten thousand years, with the king's thinking, he hoped that the country of Chu could last forever, and for this he had to fight bravely with what he believed to be the enemy. In this era, this is the normal idea of ​​an ordinary person with a family business, but it was something he had never considered in later generations.

Later generations advocate inheritance, but what is the specific content of inheritance? Reading the Four Books and Five Classics, memorizing Tang poetry and Song lyrics, and visiting historical monuments? Even if these behaviors can make people excited for a moment, they are just excited for a moment. After being excited, except for the fragments of memories, does anyone remember that they had "inherited"?

True inheritance always depends on bloodlines. Only real bloodlines can make people feel that they are indeed connected with their ancestors for eternity. Later generations Xiong Jing knew his father's name and his grandfather's name, but he didn't know what his grandfather's name was and what he had done before. He didn't know if he didn't read the genealogy or ask the elderly.

It was about thirty years and a generation. Grandpa’s grandfather had only been one hundred and twenty years, and he couldn’t figure it out for 120 years. How could he talk about inheritance? What did he inherit? Nothing was passed down except for the few mahogany boxes he brought when his grandmother got married.

A grandfather was 60 years old, and two grandfathers were 120 years old. Going back to twelve grandfathers, the genealogy was hard to explain in the early Ming Dynasty about 600 years ago. It is said that the old genealogy of the Republic of China could be traced to the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was burned and gone again. Even in the early Ming Dynasty, there were only a few names that were true, and the rest could only be made up according to the generations. I only remember that my ancestral home was in Jiangxi, but I don’t know where the exact place was in Jiangxi.

This is the inheritance of Xiong's family two thousand years later, and there was basically no inheritance. One hundred and twenty years ago, there was nothing except a bunch of names that didn't know the truth or falsehood. At that time, he was neither proud of his surname Xiong nor felt that he was shouldering a mission, and he was deeply disappointed in his heart - he paid 10,000 yuan to compile the genealogy, which is also the reason why the Taigongs were honest and better at cultivating his branch.

Who do you love? He never did such a stupid thing as paying for his ancestors since then. He would rather throw the money to the KTV princess than spend money on similar things. He only cares about himself, does not want others, and getting married and having children is a fantasy.

My parents urged my marriage several times, saying that they would not get married? Who is the last one? What does it matter? Leave a few broken boxes and a bunch of fake names for their grandchildren? Besides, how much does it cost to get married? How much does it cost to raise a child after marriage? How much does it cost to change a school district house after marriage? How much does it cost to give birth to a grandfather when he is frugal? Is it a lack of care for his ancestors?

Xiong Jing is not DINK two thousand years later, but his thoughts are similar to DINK. He feels that life is like a game. He lives just to make himself happy. Just be happy every day. When he is old and sick, no one will take care of him. Then build a flintlock rifle in advance, stuff it into his mouth when needed, pull the trigger, ‘Bang-!’!

This is what he was two thousand years later, a person who did not know how to inherit his inheritance only for himself. However, more than two thousand years ago, he realized that he was a Chu person and became unrecognizable. He had seen the murals on the walls of the Taimiao, counted the gods on the altar, learned about the names of ancestors from bamboo slips and bones, and learned about their past from historical books and historians.

All of this made him feel that he was connected with his ancestors' blood, he shouldered the responsibility of living the country, and the mission of reproduction of offspring. He imagined himself as a dandelion, worked hard to reproduce offspring, and hoped that the wind would blow the seeds further.

All this is just because of inheritance. He inherited it from his father, passed on his responsibilities and mission to his son before his death, and hoped that his descendants would continue to inherit it like this. Whoever wants to stop this is his enemy.

The two-life cognition, age accumulation, and history made him very clear about what the right path is and what the evil path is. He had to consider it very far, not to achieve his achievements and reputation. Even if later generations laughed at him like he mocked King Huai, he would do the most correct thing for the Xiong family's bloodline and the continuation of the Chu people.

This idea is obviously not understood by others - the Right Shi Yixian can accurately recite his family tree and tell the past of his ancestors, and the Left Shi is the same. All nobles have family history, and the common people have family history, but the clan leader knows the clan history, and when sacrificing for those ancestors, he will never allow mistakes.

People who have always passed on the inheritance cannot imagine the inner thoughts of people without the inheritance, just like the Taifu of Kong Qian, Song Yu, and Qu Jingzhao, and the real thoughts of Xiong Jing. Long-term management and short-term profits have different choices. Xiong Jing focuses on the long term, while they consider the present.

When Xiong Jing touched Mi Xuan's flat belly with a happy face, Zhaoshu, who drove out of the city to Lantai Palace, was still angry. He felt that the king had abandoned him. The eldest son of the king would rather be kept outside the palace than in the palace. Who would be the tutor and the priest when he grew up? Teaching the prince has always been the responsibility of Qu Jingzhao's three clans. Now it's better to keep it in the wilderness outside the palace. What kind of concise is this? To put it bluntly, the consequences must be a barbarian who does not know ethics.

"The king insists on doing this, so what can we do?" In addition to Zhaoshu, Qusui, Jinggui, and three grand tutors in the Mingtang, the king no longer needs their teachings after he was crowned, and they have always been accustomed to living in Lantai Palace.

The three tutors spent half an hour listening to Zhaoshu and Qu Sui described what happened during the court. After hearing this, Kong Qian sighed repeatedly, Song Yu's face turned dark and silent, only the turtle Guanzi laughed constantly, and he was very satisfied with the response of his students.

"A country is about to prosper, and auspiciousness will be found; a country is about to perish, and a country is about to perish, and there will be evil." Kong Qian sighed and said, "Shang died because of Daji, Fenghao died because of Baosi, but Chu died because of Mi."

"Why do you say this to the Grand Tutor?" Zhaoshu said anxiously. Kong Qian was a great scholar. He said that Chu State was about to perish. Zhaoshu felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. "Mi Xuan is just the king's favorite concubine. The king is young and knows that he has children, so he is even more pampered."

"If it weren't for Mi Xuan, how could the king enter Qin? If it weren't for Qin, why would the Zhao State not save it? If it weren't for Zhao's destruction, how could the world fall?" Song Yu took Kong Qian's words and asked repeatedly. "Mi Xuan, the monster of Chu State, is also a monster who gave birth to children. The king was fascinated by it and had lost his original intention. How can we inherit the orders of the previous kings be abolished!"

"I really want to do this?" Song Yu's words, "How can I abolish the orders of the previous kings?" made Feng Guanzi's chest turbulent.

"What can I do if I don't do this?" Song Yu asked back. "Mr. Yu Guan, don't forget that you are from Zhao, the queen is the princess of Zhao. Don't be emotional, it will be misleading Chu and Zhao."

"I..." Song Yu's rebellious question was abrupt. He liked Xiong Jing, but he was just a master and apprentice. He was a Zhao native, and the queen was the princess of Zhao. If you don't have any trouble, the result of the matter was Zhao's benefit rather than victimization.

The storm was speechless, Song Yu looked at Kong Qian, and Kong Qian's face was also surprised, and then said, "There are five evils in people, and theft is not included. One is to be clear and dangerous (the mind is smart and the mind is sinister), the second is to be resistant and firm (the behavior is evil and stubborn), the third is to be false and qualitative (the speech is hypocritical but very pleasant), the fourth is to be recorded and broad (the recording of ugly things is very broad), and the fifth is to be obedient and wrong and lust (the obedience and mistakes are polished).

These five are gathered in one person, Mi Xuan. Although we don’t see or hear, what the king sees and hears, otherwise why is the king like this? But who does this matter?"

"This matter is naturally due to..." Song Yu looked at Qu Sui, Zhao Shu and Jing Gui, and his meaning was self-evident.

"This matter..." Qu Sui was a gentleman after all. He understood what Song Yu meant, but hesitated about the risks of this matter.

"Why is the Sanlu doctor hesitant?" Song Yu said. "The six hundred miles of Shang Dynasty have been owned by Dou family; the twelve counties in Hanzhong County will be owned by Cheng family this year. Qu family lives in Dongting, and there are less than one county in Dingkou. Zhao family and Jing family are all in Yue, and the land is only a hundred miles away, which is not as good as the Jinling town where Mi family lives.

The king will make Mi Xuan the son of the king. Who will remember Qu family after several generations? Who will remember Zhaoshu? Who will remember Jing family? Even if he is the position of Quzi Sanlu, he will be appointed by others in the future."

Song Yu looked at the three people in front of him and asked questions one by one. Qu Sui looked at Song Yu at first, and heard that the position of Sanlu doctor would not be saved in the future. Qu Sui lowered his head, which was definitely not a threatening remark. Although Lantai Palace is still there, there are fewer and fewer students. Most of the students are studying in military academy instead of Lantai Palace. If this continues, in a few years, there will be no more students in the Lantai Palace except for collection of books.

The Qu family was established for a long time, and was the first to be the Great Moao, who controlled the military power of the Chu State. For more than 800 years, the Qu family has always been at the center of the Chu State's political arena, which is rare. If the Sanlu official position was lost in his own hands, he would be the Qu family's sinner.

"When I wait, the king will be angry! The king will be angry..." Jing Gui didn't say anything, Zhao Shu who knew Xiong Jing couldn't help but worry.

"So what if the king is angry?" Song Yu said. "The empress dowager will also know about this matter. Will the king dare to kill his mother? Will he dare to kill his master?"

"Why would the king?" Zhaoshu knew Xiong Jing's bottom line, and he would never be able to kill his mother.

"Since this is the case, what are the worries?" Song Yu said: "The enemy should not be faked, and the time should not be lost. The faster this matter, the better, otherwise it would be too late to wait until Mi Xuan gave birth to a child."

"This matter needs to be convinced by the Grand Sima. If it cannot be convinced, it will not be possible." Jing Gui didn't speak from beginning to end, but he had already boarded the ship.

As soon as he said he wanted to convince Naojiu, a few people talked. Naojiu did not have the same intention as everyone else. Since Xiong Jing ascended the throne, Nao's family was highly valued. All the children of Nao's family were trained in the Grand Sima Mansion, and Fangcheng also had a piece of fat land. Compared with the San family, he was a military upstart like Ruoao.

"The Grand Sima is unknown." Song Yu shook his head.

"If the Grand Sima doesn't know, why, why are we...?" Jing Gui asked.

"Quzi can convince one person." Song Yu looked at Qu Sui, and everyone immediately understood who that person was.
