Chapter 265: Guo family, Guo Huai who looks down on his salary
At night, in the Jincheng County Governor's Yuzhongcheng County Sheriff's Mansion, Guo Huai was in the front hall dealing with the Yongliang things that had accumulated in the past few days because he personally led his army to Qishan to pursue Jiang Wei's troops.
Yuzhong was inhabited by ancestors in the Paleolithic Age about 15,000 years ago. It was the residence of the Qiang in ancient times and was later occupied by the Xiongnu.
From the Warring States Period to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were two Yuzhongs in northern China. The western Yuzhong was in today's Yuzhong County, Gansu Province, and the eastern Yuzhong was between today's Hohhot and Baotou, Inner Mongolia.
In the 33rd year of the First Emperor of Qin (214 BC), Meng Tian "expelled the Xiongnu from the northwest, from Yuzhong to the east of the Binghe River, belonging to the Yinshan Mountains, and designated them as thirty-four counties (one is forty-four counties), and built a fortress on the city river."
The administrative seat is now Donggang Town, Chengguan District, Lanzhou City, under the jurisdiction of Longxi County. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was again captured by the Xiongnu.
In the second year of Yuanshuo (127 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Yuzhong County was restored to the county and was subordinate to Longxi County.
In the second year of Yuanshou (121 BC), Yongshi County was established, with jurisdiction over the northeastern area of Yuzhongyuanchuan River, and its administrative seat is in present-day Dingxi County.
In Hou Yuzhong, Yongshi County was transferred to Tianshui County. In the sixth year of Emperor Zhao's reign (81 BC), Jincheng County was established, Yuzhong County was changed to Jincheng County, and Yongshi County still belonged to Tianshui County.
According to records, it was named Jincheng because gold was dug out when the city was first built here. Another theory is based on the allusion of "Jincheng Tangchi" to describe its solidity.
In the 17th year of Emperor Yongping of the Ming Dynasty (74 years), Tianshui County was changed to Hanyang County, which administered Yongshi County. Yuzhong County still belonged to Jincheng County.
In the first year of Emperor Ling's Zhongping reign (184), the northern part of Yongshi County was occupied by the Qiang and Hu.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Yuzhong County was a county under Jincheng County under the Cao Wei regime.
At this time, Wang Jing strode in with a sealed lacquer box and reported with clasped fists: "Captain Guo, the reply from Luoyang has been sent." After saying this, he respectfully handed the lacquer box forward.
After a while, Guo Huai raised his head, put down his pen and said calmly: "Oh, it's so fast. I thought it would be a while longer before the Prime Minister's treatment for me comes." Then he took the lacquer box and sealed it with fire paint.
Open the lid, pick up the silk cloth and look at it carefully,
Wang Jing said anxiously from the side: "How's it going, Governor Guo? How will the Prime Minister deal with you?" He was very considerate. After all, if Governor Guo was demoted, he would most likely be implicated. Governor Guo's affairs are not the same.
It's his business.
After reading it, Guo Huai relaxed his frown and handed the letter to Wang Jingdao: "Read it for yourself."
Guo Huai then said: "Haha, I made the right bet this time. The prime minister only fined me a year's salary and still allowed me to continue to serve as the governor of Yongliang. This is just a drop in the bucket for me. The great Wei Dynasty has a prime minister.
This is a blessing for the Wei Dynasty!"
Guo Huai was born in the Guo family of Taiyuan, one of the several prominent families in Taiyuan. The famous noble family from the Han Dynasty to the Wei Dynasty was derived from the surname Ji.
At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, around 1038 BC, Ji Zhong, the younger brother of King Wen of Zhou, and Uncle Ji, as close relatives of King Wu's uncle and as the highest-ranking "royal minister" of the courtiers, were named "Guo" by Xu Tu.
The surname of Guo was known as Guo Zhong and Guo Shu, and he was also called Guo Gong.
Guo Zhong, the Guo Kingdom granted by Uncle Guo, was located in the territory of "Qizhou", the ancient capital of the Zhou family, east of today's Baoji. He was responsible for guarding the ancient capital of the Zhou royal family, Qizhou, and the new capitals of "Zongzhou" Feng and Hao.
Afterwards, Uncle Guo was granted another title of Zhiyi in the area of Xingyang, Henan, which was the guardian of "Chengzhou" Luoyi, while Guo Zhong continued the previous title unchanged.
In order to distinguish the places that Guo Zhong and Guo Shu entrusted later, the land of Baoji that Guo Zhong entrusted to the original Guo Kingdom was called the West Guo State, the place where Guo Shu entrusted Xingyang to control the city was called the East Guo State, and Zhong and his uncles were called respectively.
Duke Guo of the West and Duke Guo of the East.
In the year of the Western Zhou Dynasty, internal strife and foreign invasions intensified until the Western Rong invaded Haojing and King You of Zhou was killed in Mount Li. In 770 BC, King Ping of Zhou, who had just ascended the throne for a year, had no choice but to move eastward to Luoyi.
In 775 BC before King Ping moved eastward, Xiguo had already moved eastward to the two banks of the Yellow River between the Yu State and the Zheng State, which are now Xiayang in Pinglu, Shanxi, and Shangyang in Sanmenxia, Henan.
Among them, the land of Pinglu on the north bank was historically called Bei Guo (Xia Yang), and the land of Sanmenxia on the south bank was historically called Nan Guo (Shang Yang).
After Xiguo moved eastward, its original territory, Baoji, was known as Xiaoguo in history.
Three years after King Ping of Zhou moved eastward to Luoyi, in 767 BC, Zheng State annexed Dongguo. King Ping of Zhou actually condoned Zheng's annexation of Dongguo because of his meritorious service in moving eastward to the Zhou family under Duke Wu of Zheng.
In 687 BC, Xiaoguo, located in Baoji, was also annexed by the Qin State.
After the Western Guo moved eastward, the Northern Guo and the Southern Guo were also destroyed by the Jin in 658 and 655 BC respectively.
At this point, lasting for more than 380 years, the "Five Guo" of the Zhou Dynasty, known as Zhou Guo, have all withdrawn from the stage of history.
Although none of the five Guo tribes survived during the Zhou Dynasty, their remaining people were not destroyed.
During the subjugation period of Dong Guo and the small Guo, Bei Guo and Nan Guo derived from Xi Guo, their people were forced to migrate collectively or dispersed and fled to various places. In order to avoid harm, most of them changed "Guo" to "Guo". Among them, "Guo" was changed to "Guo".
One fundamental reason is that in ancient times, the two characters "Guo" and "Guo" had the same pronunciation. Therefore, although Guo was replaced by Guo, the surname lineage has not changed and the clan inheritance has remained the same.
What's more, people who are descendants of the Miao from the Yellow Emperor already had "Guo" as their surname during the Xia and Shang dynasties.
Therefore, historical materials such as "Lu Shi·Guo Ming Ji·Shu Juan" have records of "Xi Guo...Nan Guo...Xiao Guo, all also called Guo". It should be said that this is the development of the Guo family
The most objective and direct historical reason why Guo, Yi and Guo appeared in the process.
Another reason why the remnants of the Guo people fled from Guo to Guo is that after the fall of the Guo state, their people fled the city and some moved to places outside the city.
"Historical Records of the Jin Family", "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan" and other records: After Nan Guo was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, the monarch of Nan Guo, Guo Gongchou, fled to Luoyi, the capital, with his people, and relied on its city to "live with Guo and Yi Guo."
"
In ancient times, the outer city or the place near the city was called "Guo". Therefore, in order to avoid persecution and discrimination, the survivors of the Guo Kingdom who moved outside Luoyi City followed the trend and the name of their temporary residence was also changed to "Guo".
"Guo",
Since then, the survivors of the Guo Kingdom who have the blood of the Zhou royal family have always used Guo as their surname and have not changed it back. After all, the Zhou royal family has become a thing of the past.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, many branches of the Guo surname in Jinyang and Yangqu have developed into the famous surname in Taiyuan County. Since the Wei Dynasty, they have become a famous noble family in Bingzhou and even the north, and the Guo Huai branch is the leader of the Guo clan.
His father, Guo Mian, was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Guo Mian came from a famous family in Taiyuan County of the Eastern Han Dynasty. His grandfather Guo Zun was the governor of Yanzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He once toured the world for Dr. Guanglu.
Guo Jian's father, Guo Quan, was a great agricultural minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Guo Jian himself served as the prefect of Yanmen County at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. With such a family background and the Guo family's hundreds of years of accumulation, there was no need to treat the governor of Yongliang with two thousand a year.
The annual salary of a lot of stone is taken into consideration,
After all, a fine and salary is much better than losing the official position of the Yongliang Governor. Is the Guo family short of money? Not at all. What he lacks is just the official position of the Yongliang Governor, who has high power and has a lot of troops. This is
Even if you want to buy it, you may not be able to buy it!
The Yongliang Commandery was located on the western front of Cao Wei. After Wei Wendi Cao Pi came to the throne, he established the Yongliang General Commandery Region and regarded himself as the Yongliang Commandery. Cao Zhen, Sima Yi, Xiahou Xuan and Guo Huai served as governors.
Generally, they are appointed as the governor of Liangzhou and have the title of General of the Western Conquest, and are stationed in Guzang County, Wuwei County. For the governor of Yongliang, as the name suggests, he guards the two states of Cao Wei, Yongzhou and Liangzhou.
Regardless of whether it was Zhuge Liang or Jiang Wei, the main direction of the Northern Expedition was Cao Wei's Yongzhou and Liangzhou. Therefore, the governor of Yongliang was the key figure in the fight against the Shu-Han Northern Expedition and held great military power in his hands.
Wang Jing also echoed: "The Prime Minister is wise!"
