Yes! He is a descendant of the previous royal family and the ninth grandson of Emperor Gaozu. It is said that he is a nobleman born with a golden key, but is this really the case? No! This is not the case at all.
According to orthodox thinking, their ancestors belonged to a branch at the beginning, and were later sent to local places to become kings. Later, their children gave birth to grandchildren, and their grandchildren gave birth to children. The children and grandchildren are endless, and represents
There are many generations between the truly orthodox emperor's family.
After generations of favor orders, the room where he and his eldest brother lived had long become a branch of the faction. Otherwise, in the rebel army, Li Jiulang was inferior to his eldest brother in all aspects, how could he be elected as the supreme commander instead?
In the final analysis, the reason why those people insist on recommending Li Jiulang is not based on his ability, but because of the distance of his bloodline. In terms of bloodline, Li Jiulang is closer to the emperor's branch.
On the contrary, after years of reproduction, although the people on their side are the true descendants of the Emperor Gaozu, they have long been far from the royal children who were crowned kings and marquises. Even their fathers could only be ordinary people.
Just a county magistrate.
After all, although they are descendants of Emperor Gaozu, their family inheritance in Zhou rites is mainly orthodox. However, they are descendants of Emperor Gaozu's sons and have basically no intersection with subsequent emperors.
After many generations of reproduction, it became a branch among branches. Even if they were both descendants of Emperor Gaozu, they had very different treatment and disparity with the real royal family, and they were only slightly related by blood.
To put it bluntly, my wife Zhao's blood relationship with the royal family is closer than theirs with the royal family. I'm afraid the emperor of the previous dynasty didn't even know that there were so-called relatives like them outside, and they were too far apart from each other.
.
Even if they were descendants of dragons and phoenixes, they were still inferior to the so-called noble families. After several generations of inheritance, they gradually lost their right to speak in the officialdom and eventually became more and more down-to-earth.
Most of the time, their family members had to work in the fields like ordinary people, or go out to make money, so in his opinion, he was just a weakling, and he was no more noble than the King of Yan.
Over the years, he has interacted a lot with the children of aristocratic and wealthy families, and many of them are said to be capable, but all of them have their own family in mind and do not hesitate to conceal the news. This makes him unhappy. He does not want his son to
Picked up on this habit of a child from an aristocratic family.
What a pity! He felt regretful from the bottom of his heart that he had never wanted to wrong his child since he had a child. Now that he thought about it, he had done something wrong. Not being wronged now does not mean that he would not be wronged in the future.
Li Erlang sat up and looked at his eldest son who suddenly raised his head after hearing what he said. He had several children, and what he hoped most was that his eldest son would grow up, because only if he had the ability could he protect his brothers and sisters.
The eldest son's face was a little broken at the moment. He couldn't believe what his father said. How could this happen? His father went to work in the fields by himself? Are you sure he wasn't participating in the emperor's special plowing ceremony?
Seeing his eldest son's face changing again and again, Li Erlang coughed. This child was still too weak. Alas! Although he had been paying attention to his children's education, he had to say that he felt a bit of a failure.
In this situation, he felt something was wrong. After a violent cough, he felt his throat was fishy. He coughed up some blood and wiped away the blood spots with plain silk.
"Dad!" The children were frightened. In their minds, their father has always been a great man and their strong support, but now it doesn't look good no matter how he looks like this.
At this moment, Li Erlang sat down again and looked at the children. Each of them felt that they had done something wrong and had to kneel down.
Their father did not even look at the blood-stained silk. Instead, he glanced at the frightened children and said calmly: "It's your uncle who said it again, right? You have read the history books yourself, and you should know who the late Emperor Gaozu was.
What origin?"
After hearing what their father said, the children hesitated for a moment and then nodded. Emperor Gaozu's background was not very high, although there was a legend about killing a white snake after drinking, and there was also a legend about his mother Liu Yu. It is said that a long dragon lay on her body and she gave birth to Emperor Gaozu.
.
emmmmmmm! It is a normal situation to kill the white snake after drinking. The mother of the white snake came out and cried and complained. It was fake at first glance. As a mother, she should think about how to take revenge on her so-called enemy.
Even if this mother-in-law monster is afraid of Liu Bang's so-called identity as the son of the Red Emperor and does not dare to shout and kill, she should never give her enemy a higher status.
If you have to tell it, at first glance, it is a tribute to Liu Bang. Therefore, it is true that Gaozu killed the White Snake, but the subsequent legend is just a legend and must not be taken seriously.
And another legend about something related to dragons is even more outrageous. What is the relationship between humans and dragons? As descendants of future generations, we must not believe it, otherwise we will definitely suffer a loss.
As the grandson of Emperor Gaozu for several generations, Li Erlang himself was proud of his origin, not just his so-called descendant of the emperor.
What's more, Emperor Gaozu started to compete in the world as a pavilion chief, and finally won the victory. Just imagining it makes me feel that my ancestor is very awesome.
Of course, Li Erlang would never remind himself that in the eyes of his father, Liu Gong, Gaozu was a libertine who didn't like working, and he didn't like him very much at all. What he liked was a son who was stable and stable.
You must know that Emperor Gaozu was still unsettled even at a very old age. He would bring friends home from time to time, which led to complaints from his family. Although he had an illegitimate child, he was still a very old unmarried man.
Gao Zu, who did not get the approval of his family, later lived a dissolute life. It is said that he was not allowed to enter the house at all, and had to live in two taverns and was taken in by two female owners.
Although Emperor Gaozu was extremely poor, he was so bold that when he celebrated his birthday, he said he was going to give someone 10,000 yuan, but in fact he just gave him a white note that he didn't know when to cash.
When the birthday boy heard that a guest had given such a high gift, he came out to welcome him. When he saw Emperor Gaozu, he was so shocked that he married his daughter, who was still in her prime, to Emperor Gaozu.
It can be said that Emperor Gaozu got married when he was very old. After that, his wife began to support the family by herself, and helped her husband to honor her parents-in-law.
After a period of time, Gaozu gathered some people and started an uprising. At the same time, there were several forces competing. It was Gaozu who finally ascended the throne of emperor, but his background was not very high.
"Dalang, you won't completely deny your ancestor's origin just because he became emperor, right? This is something recorded in the history books.
Do you think you will despise your ancestor because of his background? Dalang, you have to think about it carefully. I am really disappointed that you are so stupid."
When Li Erlang said this, he really regretted that he still did not exempt his son from the influence of the Zhao family, because his son had become too powerful, that is to say, he was too much like the Zhao family.
As a wealthy family, the Zhao family is able to marry off even a princess. Even if the princess may be relatively weak or in exchange for resources, it can be seen that the Zhao family is very powerful.
It can be seen from this that this family has always had a very high self-esteem and is one of those families that believes that their family belongs to a higher level, which has caused them to be very ignorant of ordinary people.
And Dalang is a bit like the Zhao family at the moment, and he doesn't want to hide his attitude at all. Hey! What can we do? Although he is not a Zhao family, he has the nature of the Zhao family. This is not good, and this idea must be reversed.
.
At this moment, Dalang was in a storm of thoughts. His father's words made him feel something was wrong. The places his father pointed out seemed to make him notice things that he had not noticed before, and they became different from his previous thoughts.
Then he saw his father and said, "What? Do you think family background can solve everything? Read history carefully and look at the sons and daughters of the First Emperor. They all came from the royal family. Aren't their statuses noble? Aren't they also regarded as brothers?
The Second Emperor of Qin was killed one by one.
At that time, their noble status did not bring them any benefit. They were still killed directly like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Da Lang! You have to remember: your identity may bring you supreme glory, or it may bring you death, and it all depends on your own performance."
Dalang felt a little unconvinced after hearing this. In his heart, he had always felt that he had a great future. In his opinion, the other children of the First Emperor were too stupid and did not have enough to save their lives.
The other children were better off, because the Zhao family mainly focused on Dalang, and the other children were much less affected. They were somewhat touched by their father's words.
Li Erlang naturally saw it and continued slowly: "Actually, you have also heard of one thing. Before I got married to your mother, I had a formal marriage.
At the beginning, I went through three matchmakers and six engagements, and a special wedding was held. She is my real first wife, and she, you should know, is the current Princess Yan."
After saying this, he paused and looked at the children. He motioned for them not to kneel on the ground, but to sit on the low platform opposite.
The children had actually heard a little bit about it, after all, this kind of thing was always spread by people, and the father's words proved that it was normal for the Yang family daughter not to want to see their family.
Li Erlang continued: "I was sent out after I offended someone, and I happened to meet your mother. At that time, I urgently needed support, so the Zhao family asked me to marry your mother.
But at that time, I had my first wife, and naturally your mother could not be a concubine. In the end, I had to wrong the Yang family daughter and demoted her from wife to concubine. After dragging her for several years, the Yang family daughter married another man, and finally
Become my biggest enemy."
Most of the children who heard this knew that what their uncle's family did was a bit excessive, but they didn't feel that they had done anything wrong. They also thought that it was natural that her mother should be his wife because of her noble status.
Li Erlang naturally saw what they were thinking, hey! It's really unreasonable, most of these children have no ability to empathize, and no one feels wrong at all.
Hey! Li Erlang looked at the normal expressions on the children's faces and felt that he had a headache. He had to explain this to the children clearly, hoping that they would be really sensible.
Although he did this stupid thing of turning his wife into a concubine, and he always wanted to avoid the credit of the Yang brothers and sisters, he knew very well that he had worked hard with you for some years, and then turned around and turned his original wife into a concubine. If his own sisters
I can't bear to suffer this kind of treatment.
Eighty-nine times out of ten, they want revenge or reconciliation. The reason why the Yang family was unable to retaliate or reconcile at first was because they did not dare to offend him, who was about to rise to prominence, but they were just unhappy in their hearts.
At this point, he cannot fool his children and say that this is the right thing to do just because he is the bastard, even if he, as the person involved, cannot confuse right and wrong.
No wonder the first wife ran out to grab the territory after remarrying, probably because she was preparing to fight, otherwise life would definitely be difficult in the future. People thought clearly.
As soon as he thought about his identity, the other party knew that he could not be allowed to reach the top. Others could reach the top, but he could never reach the top. The King of Yan and his wife knew this very well, so they competed in the world.
Because the couple knew that once Li Erlang reached the top, Yan Wang and his wife would probably have no way to survive, and they would not let their rivals rise to the top in order to survive.
Not to mention that Li Erlang took action personally, even if he didn't take action, there would be people who wanted to please Li Erlang and his wife secretly. How could the Yanwang couple still have a good life?
Even if Li Erlang gave a special order for this purpose: no one should be allowed to do anything that would hurt King Yan and his wife, it does not mean that King Yan and his wife could live a good life.
You must know that there is also a general's wife who is eyeing her. Li Erlang's order will definitely annoy the powerful lady. I am afraid that she will be obsessed with killing King Yan and his wife, and will not give up even if the couple turns against each other.
In the final analysis, it was Li Erlang who lost Princess Yan, and the general's wife made many small moves in order to gain her own victory. It can be said that her behavior finally caused the Yang brothers and sisters and Li Erlang to completely fall out.
The general's wife probably thought she was the final winner, but the Yang family brothers and sisters naturally saw clearly that if Li Erlang succeeded in the end, there would be basically no possibility for the Yang family to rise.
Li Erlang knew it very well in his heart, and it was no wonder that Yang Juan had to start a new relationship with the Li family immediately after getting married. If it were him, he would do the same thing.
Hey! At this moment, Li Erlang suddenly wanted to see how that woman could quickly find another suitable person after losing the husband chosen by his biological father.
Li Erlang's eldest daughter has never spoken out. As a woman, she prefers Yang Juan. When she was growing up, her mother didn't pay much attention to her, and later she became a little crazy.
These circumstances made her grow up very quickly. As a woman, although she is still a little girl physically, her mind matures earlier and she is much more understanding than her elder brother.
She had to admit that the man Yang Juan later married was also very powerful. I heard that the people around them and their husband were very capable, including some of her relatives. Hey! It was really amazing to let the relatives of her ex-law's family follow her! That's awesome!
