Chapter 48 Problems (continued)
In the East Yan, at Shijijin, the Yellow River Ferry Crossing, Yu Wenming led his nephew Yuwen Weicheng to worship his ancestors. Eight years ago, the governor of Yingzhou, Yu Wenzhou, Yu Wenzhou, died here.
.
Dongyan is located in the southwest of Huatai. Shijijin in its territory is the Yellow River Ferry like Baimajin. In the second year of Daxiang, Yu Chi Jiong, the general manager of Xiangzhou, raised an army to rebel against Yang. Yu Zhongwen, the prefect of Dongjun, refused to respond. Yu Chi Jiong sent troops to cross the river to attack Huatai in Dongjun.
The troops were divided into two groups, one by Baimajin, and the other was led by the governor of Yingzhou Yu Wenzhou. He surrounded Dongjun through Shijijin. Not long after he took down Dongjun, the imperial army counterattacked, and Yu Wenzhou was outnumbered and fought hard and died.
The head was cut off and the body was missing. Yu Wenzhou didn't even have a tomb, so Yu Wenming and his nephew could only worship on the battlefield that year.
As the world changes, the royal family, which was originally lush and lush, has now withered.
Therefore, Yu Wenhao, Duke Hui of Shao, had three sons, Yu Wen Shifei, the eldest son Yu Wen Dao, the second son Yu Wen Hu, and the eldest son Yu Wen Shifei inherited the Duke of Shao. When his son Yu Wenzhou's bloodline was broken.
The third son, Yuwen Hu, has long been eradicated, and only the second son, Director Yuwen, is slightly better. At least the bloodline is left Yuwen Liang and his son Yuwenming and Yuwen Wen. The so-called "same spirit" is connected. When Yuwenming passed by the place where his cousin died in the battle, he led his nephew to worship.
The baby Yuwen Weicheng still has many questions. He is a little confused about the situation, so he should ask: What is the relationship between this Duke Shao and his uncle?
This question is simple and not simple. Yu Wenming's father Yu Wenliang was the second son of Yu Wendao, but he adopted his uncle Yu Wenlian as his heir and inherited the throne of Duke Qi. Therefore, from the perspective of patriarchal law, Yu Wenliang and Yu Wenming are no longer descendants of Shao Huigong Yu Wenhao.
Then Yuwen Liang adopted his second son Yuwen Wen to his younger brother Yuwen Yi and inherited the title of Duke of Xiyang County. Therefore, from the perspective of patriarchal law, Yuwen Wen and his son Yuwen Weicheng are descendants of Yuwen Yi.
Seeing that his nephew became more confused, Yu Wenming made another summary:
According to patriarchal law, among the four brothers of the Yuwen family in Wuchuan, Dalang Yuwen Hao was posthumously named Duke Shao and posthumously named Hui. The remaining bloodline now is Yuwen Hao-Director Yuwen Yi-Yuwen Wen-Yuwen Weicheng brothers.
Erlang Yuwen Lian was posthumously named Duke Qi and posthumously named Jian. His bloodline was Yuwen Lian-Yuwen Yuanbao-Yuwen Liang-Yuwenming-Yuwen Li brothers.
Sanlang Yuwen Luosheng was posthumously named Duke of Ju, posthumously named Zhuang, and died.
Silang Yuwen Tai, posthumously named Emperor Wen and Temple name Taizu, the remaining bloodline now is Yuwen Tai-Yuwen Zhao-Yuwen Qiankeng, which is just a person today.
"Oh, so that's what it is..."
Yuwen Weicheng probably understood it. Aye told him about it, but for a seven or eight-year-old child, it is really difficult to understand what son's "four" and so on.
Then there is another question: Is the Duke of State of Shao broken now?
Yu Wenming nodded and said yes, saying that if you want to inherit Yu Wenzhou and continue the incense of the Lord of Shao, you have to choose from Yu Wenhao's group, that is, choose from Yu Wenzhou's cousin.
Yu Wenzhou's cousin is only Yu Wenliang, and then his cousin is only Yu Wenming and Yu Wenwen, so there is no need to think about it. If you adopt him from his grandchildren, you can't Yu Wenzhou's without anerial sons, right?
"Uh, if my grandfather gave birth to a son, wouldn't that be fine?"
Yuwen Weicheng suddenly had a strange idea, which made Yu Wenming stunned and then nodded. His nephew made sense. If his father Yu Wenliang had another son, it would be inevitable that he would adopt Yu Wenzhou as his heir.
Yuwen Hao's Duke of State of Shao was naturally inherited by his eldest son and grandson. This is the main branch of the family. As long as possible, even if the blood of the main branch is cut off, the side branch must adopt a son to inherit the incense.
After Yu Wenming's mother passed away, Yu Wenliang had not re-stringed the strings so far, and his stomach was not moving in several lateral rooms. Only when Qi Wang re-stringed the strings could it be possible to re-string the incense for the family leader.
Not to mention who the father married a woman, Yu Wenming felt a little ridiculous when he thought of a younger brother than his son in the future. Of course, this kind of thing is very common in wealthy families, and nothing is strange.
But this is Yu Wenliang's obligation to continue the incense for his cousin, and Yu Wenming's obligation to have more sons and continue the incense for their cousins.
As for Yuwen Hao's third son, Yuwen Hu, this is a political taboo in the Zhou Dynasty. It is impossible to give Yuwen Hu the successor, who was posthumously named "Dang". Another problem that Yuwen Hu cited is the heart knot between Yuwen Hao and Yuwen Tai.
During his lifetime, Yuwen Tai trusted his nephew Yuwen Hu very much and entrusted his son and Jiangshan to his eldest nephew, but as a result...
The country of the country has been kept, but Yuwen Tai's two sons were protected by Yuwen's protection. If Yuwen Yong had not succeeded in the coup, then the country of the Yuwen family would probably have become Yuwen Hu or his son.
Once this kind of knot is formed, it will be difficult to untie it. After Yuwen Yong regained power, he only wiped out the roots of Yuwen Hu and his son, and did not liquidate his cousins. However, Yuwen Hao and his royal family had no hope since then. They could have a high position but were rarely able to hold real power.
When Yuwen Yun succeeded to the throne, because of Yuwen Hu's past lessons, he even guarded his uncle very well, let alone would try his best to reject Yuwen Hao and his royal family who had "criminal evidence".
The only royal family who could have decent military power in the second year of Daxiang was Yu Wenliang, who was the chief of Anzhou at the time, and Yu Wenzhou, the governor of Yingzhou, was just a general under the command of Yuchi Jiong, the chief of Xiangzhou.
So when Yang Jian cleaned up the Zhou royal family, the male members of the royal family were slaughtered like lambs. If Yu Wenliang hadn't taken action first in Anzhou, then the fate of the father and son would be like Yu Wenzhou who died in the battle in Shijijin, and was cut off into the wilderness of the abandoned corpse.
Yuwen Hu's actions made the later emperors of the Zhou Kingdom extremely guarded against the royal family. Yuwen Yong handled it well, but Yuwen Yun was very extreme. Thinking of this, Yu Wenming couldn't help but worry about the future.
The current contradiction in Zhou State is a question of where the powerful Yuchi family will go. If it cannot be solved, it will be a matter of time before the country changes its surname.
If you want to maintain your country, you can only rely on the royal family to reorganize your country. No matter what method you use, you can finally solve this problem successfully. Then there will be problems one after another: the relationship between the royal family and the emperor.
I am worried that this question will be boring now, because it is hard to say whether it can survive, but Yu Wenming cannot help but think: If there really is that day, how will the young emperor face the already-formed King Qi?
Eliminating powerful ministers is the inevitable choice of every emperor, not to mention that powerful ministers are royal families, there is a knot between the two.
Yuwen Hu, the King of Jin, who was in Yuwen Hao and his group, deposed and killed two emperor cousins one after another, which made Yuwen Tai and his group unforgettable. If Yuwen Hu's nephew Qi, Yuwen Liang, became a big shot again, will the scene of deposing and establishing the emperor be repeated?
Or, will the scene where the emperor wiped out Yuwen Hu's family happen again?
