It is not surprising that this situation occurs. During the three hundred years from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Taiyuan Wang family was originally the leading prominent family in the north. The Taiyuan Wang family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Zhaojun Li family, and the Fanyang Lu family were the ancestors of these families.
We already have a good friendship. We are all big people north of the Yellow River. Let's support each other. It's good for you and me. Good for everyone.
The Langya Wang family is far away in the Huaihe River Basin in the south, and their friendship with the Cui, Li, Lu and other families is not that deep.
By the time of Emperor Xiaowen's reform, the Taiyuan Wang family had returned to their hometown for three generations. Emperor Xiaowen forced the Xianbei nobles to change their surnames to Han surnames, and at the same time ranked the various clans, and the Taiyuan Wang family returned to the first rank. "Zijian" records that "
The Yazhong family of the Wei Dynasty had four surnames: Fanyang Lumin, Qinghe Cui Zongbo, Xingyang Zhengxi, and Taiyuan Wangqiong. They were recommended by their clothes and hats, and their daughters were accepted into the harem. Li Chong of Longxi was recognized for his talent and knowledge, and was a noble person in the dynasty.
The marriage connection is due to Qingwang, and the emperor also took his daughter as his wife."
It can be seen that at that time, the Li family in Longxi was still ranked behind the Wang family in Taiyuan...
In addition to the smooth development of the direct lineage of the Taiyuan Wang family, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were many people pretending to be the Taiyuan Wang family, which also added to the influence of the Taiyuan Wang family in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Some of these people pretending to be the Wang family in Taiyuan are actually descendants of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan. These people have lived in Bingzhou since the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Hanization, they pretended to be surnamed Wang. The relationship between Wuhuan and Tuoba Xianbei is complicated, and Tuoba
In the early days of Xianbei, there were frequent intermarriages with Wuhuan, and these people had certain strength in the Northern Dynasties.
There is also a "Zhongshan Wang family" who claims to be a branch of the Taiyuan Wang family. His ancestor Wang Gui is said to be a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family. During the Yongjia period, he fled the chaos and went to Liangzhou. The Northern Wei unified the north and followed the Northern Wei. Wang
Gui served as a general and prime minister in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was highly regarded by Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was once a member of the center of power. In the Tang Dynasty, the "Zhongshan Wang Family" produced six or seven prime ministers, and became famous for a while.
There was also a man named Wang Shao, who also claimed to be a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Wang Shao served as an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, and was an important minister of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.
During the Northern Dynasties, anyone with the surname Wang, as long as there was room for maneuver, would try to rely on the golden signboard of "Taiyuan Wang Family".
Who are the ancestors of these people? Only the devil knows...
However, the Taiyuan Wang family did not clarify that anyone suddenly had a rich and distant relative, and they would not refuse it, right?
And those who rely on the "Taiyuan Wang's" brand naturally hope that it will get better and better.
The result of all this is - if everyone wants you to get better and better, it will be difficult for you to think poorly!
The Princess of Jin and the Wang family are related to the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Princess Tong'an, the sister of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, is Wang's great-uncle? And the aunt of Wang's mother, Lady Liu of Wei State, is Tang Gaozu's.
Granddaughter. Therefore, the Wang family has a distinguished background. Not only is she a descendant of important ministers of the Western Wei Dynasty, but her parents are also in-laws of the Tang Dynasty royal family. She can be said to be the backbone of the Guanlong Group.
Of course, there is no permanent peak in the world, ups and downs are the eternal law.
Who would have thought that the Taiyuan Wang family, which has deep roots and luxuriant leaves, would be at the pinnacle of the Zhenda family's glory as a relative of the Jin Dynasty King Li Zhi after he ascended the throne, but would be completely defeated in the struggle between Wu Meiniang and the Guanlong Group, and suffer an unprecedented blow?
As for what role Li Zhi played in it, Fang Jun didn't know. He only knew that Li Zhi finally sat back and watched the Guanlong Group fail and disintegrate, and Changsun Wuji, who single-handedly supported him to rise to power, was also completely eradicated by Wu Meiniang...
Li Chengqian walked to the front and was responsible for delivering a few words of congratulations, and Wu King Li Ke came over again.
"I envy you that you can do great things now that you are in charge of Jingzhao Mansion, and you can depict this picturesque country with the beauty in your heart."
His Majesty, the tall and handsome King of Wu, seemed a little unhappy and disappointed.
Fang Jun knew that this man had revenge in his heart. When he returned to the capital, he was like a bird with broken wings in a cage. It was hard to relax his ambitions and ambitions. It was inevitable that he would be disappointed and depressed.
Then he said: "What's wrong with spending the whole day leisurely, drinking fine wine and sleeping with beautiful women?"
Li Ke stared and said, "What's the difference between this and eating and waiting to die?"
Fang Jun sarcastically said: "Your Highness, do you know that eating and waiting to die is my greatest ideal? Not only me, but also how many people in this world are working hard so that their children and grandchildren can live a life of eating and waiting to die?"
Li Ke said dissatisfied: "Don't lie to me, can't you live a life of just eating and waiting to die?"
Fang Jun said: "Indeed, it is okay to rely on my father's power, but where is my son? Where is my grandson? Even if the Fang family is favored, it will only be temporary. When the holy family is gone, who knows who the Fang family is? So I have to persist.
You must never slack off in your struggle. But you are different. Your descendants are all sons of dragons, grandsons, emperors, nobles, and nobles. The state you should maintain is to eat and wait for death. You must be ambitious enough to show off your talents and live up to this life.
This is a recipe for disaster."
Originally, your reputation as a "Wise King" was enough to make people jealous. Now that you have the blood of the former Sui Dynasty in your body, and now you are unwilling to be lonely, how do you want others to think of you?
No matter how close the brothers are, no matter how broad-minded the emperor is, they can't stand it!
Li Ke clasped his hands behind his back and sighed: "How can I, the king, not know this truth? It's just that the depression in my chest is like a block, and it's hard to feel relieved."
Fang Jun was speechless.
This person is just looking for the type of person who has nothing to do. He understands everything, but he just can’t figure it out...
The ancestral home of the Wang family was filled with loud gongs and drums, and relatives and friends gathered together happily. They surrounded the welcoming delegation, and their eyes were shining as they looked at His Royal Highness the King of Jin who was standing in front of the crowd. At this stage and in the foreseeable future,
, this Tianhuang nobleman who has just become the son-in-law of the Wang family will be the political center of the entire Wang family and the Guanlong Group. The Wang family will pour all resources into His Highness the King of Jin and carry out a series of events around him.
Interest demands.
This request is not necessarily to encourage His Highness the King of Jin to participate in the fight for the throne. Of course, if the opportunity allows, it is not impossible to give it all. If by luck, the King of Jin can be crowned with great treasure and rule the world, then it will naturally be what he wants.
Facts have proved that in history, the Wang family of Taiyuan did receive generous rewards for gathering the strength of the entire Guanlong Group to support King Li Zhi of Jin to ascend to the throne. They made a lot of money!
But who would have thought that it was the gentle, handsome, and even a little green Prince Jin before him who would use Wu Meiniang to kick the Guanlong Group off the altar and completely fall into the abyss after he ascended the throne?
And the bride in the embroidery building had her limbs cut off by Wu Meiniang and stuffed into a wine jar...
Of course, this is just a legend and has not been found in history books. In fact, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen. But Fang Jun couldn't help but shudder when he thought that the murderer was now his beautiful concubine.
The task of training Wu Meimei is long and arduous...
The wedding went on in an orderly manner until the bride got into the sedan chair and His Royal Highness the King of Jin rode out of the Wang family's mansion. The firecrackers that had been prepared and bought from Fang's shop were lit. The crackling sound of firecrackers was earth-shattering, and streams of gunpowder lit up the red cannons.
After the skin was violently torn into pieces, pungent smoke erupted, and the fiery red broken cannon skin added to the festive atmosphere.
Anshanfang, where the Wang family's mansion is located, was crowded with people and had already been jammed with people who came to watch. There were twelve guards guarding the intersections along the way to maintain order to prevent anyone from attacking the wedding procession.
Returning to Tai Chi Palace, the wedding has officially begun. All the etiquette and rules have become more and more complicated, but there is no such thing as the best man. Does this count as the bride entering the door and the best man going up the wall?
Fang Jun laughed at himself a few words and was so happy that he was pulled by Dugu Mou. He followed several consorts and hid in a side hall not far from Taiji Palace for some quiet time. As soon as he entered the door, he was pulled by Dugu Mou to sit by the bed and asked for advice on childbirth.
method.
The fact that Fang Jun was pregnant with his wife and concubine had long spread throughout the capital. After all, compared to those big shots in the imperial court, Fang Jun was more topical and his style was more prominent, so anything about him always spread very quickly.
No matter Fang Erlang was promoted and made rich, or he was unlucky and was beaten by His Majesty, everyone expressed that they were all happy to hear it...
It was difficult for Dugu to find an heir. A few years ago, he and Princess Ankang gave birth to a baby, Lin'er. Unfortunately, he died before reaching full term. The couple was in pain and wanted to live. Since then, although they worked overtime and worked hard to sow seeds, there was no news.
In an era when "the three most unfilial consequences are to have no heirs", having no heirs was an extremely serious matter. Dugu Mou's ancestors were not the true bloodline of the Dugu family. Their ancestors were all descended from a single line. If he had no heirs in his generation,
Son, isn’t he an extinct heir?
If this is really the case, after Dugu Mou's death, he would not even be qualified to be buried in his ancestral grave, because he is a sinner of the Dugu family!
