Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 522 Lineage
After the name of Lao Liu's Xianzu temple was decided, the last item of today's court meeting was to discuss the issue of the lineage of the great Han.

What is Zongtong?That is the clan system.

Lao Liu has always been a great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing since he started his army, and after King Jing of Zhongshan, it seems that he is indeed a relative of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, Lao Liu’s lineage is separated from the lineage of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It can be said that they are eight poles Can't hit anyone.

Talking about their lineage, we must first know where their ancestors came from.Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was the descendant of Emperor Xiaojing, and had a common ancestor with Liu Chan, but they belonged to different branches.Liu Xiu is the descendant of Liu Fa, the sixth son of Emperor Jingdi, Changsha Ding Wang, while Liu Chan and Lao Liu are descendants of Liu Sheng, the nine sons of Zhongshan King Jing.

Therefore, from the perspective of Liu Bei and Han Xiandi Liu Xie, except for Liu with the same surname, the two have no blood relationship at all.If you go back to Emperor Xiaojing, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is the thirteenth grandson of Emperor Jing, and Lao Liu is not known to be the descendants of Emperor Jing.

From the beginning of his business, Lao Liu called the clan of the Han family from the beginning to the end, not the emperor's uncle.The name of his uncle, but "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written by his cousin Liu Zhengtong.

And according to Luo Guanzhong's pedigree, Lao Liu is the eighteenth descendant of Emperor Jing.It's not that Liu Xie calls old Liu Huangshu, but old Liu calls Liu Xie grandpa.

Liu Ye, who took refuge in Cao Wei, was a descendant of Han Guangwuzi Fuling King Yan, who was more serious than the old Liu Zhengtong.

Therefore, after understanding this relationship, you can know that Lao Liu started his career by relying on himself, not relying on his clan relatives who don't know how many generations have passed.

Therefore, today's discussion of the lineage of the Shu Han is to determine the relationship between the Shu Han and the Western Han, and what is the relationship with the Eastern Han.After clarifying, Shu Han can explain to the world the source of his orthodoxy.

Liu Chan tapped his legs that were stiff due to sitting for a long time, and said: "Emperor Xianzu is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, and the queen of Lucheng Tinghou. Today and the later Han are distant relatives, and the distance from the former Han is too far. Today, I am the grandson of the Great Han." How should it be discussed? Can the later Han Dynasty learn from etiquette or not?"

Huang Quan was dressed in Xuanyi and said: "Your Majesty, I think that my great Han is far away from the two Hans. It is better to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu and build a high temple to worship the emperors of the former Han Dynasty, and build a ancestral temple to worship the emperors of the later Han. And my Dahan built Pro-temple, Xianzu Temple is the first."

In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Xiu had the idea of ​​establishing his own family, and built a high temple in Luoyang to worship the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty.And I built a four-parent temple to worship my great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, and father respectively.

Its meaning is also very simple, that is, my lineage of the Han Dynasty does not play with your Western Han Dynasty, and we each have our own.It can be seen that Liu Xiu, as the founding king, also has his own pride.At that time, worshiping the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty was only a political need. In terms of patriarchal law, Liu Xiu sacrificed to his own blood relatives.

Guang Luxun Pei Jun shook his head and said: "Although this is the case, it does not conform to the etiquette. Therefore, after 19 years of Jianwu, everyone thought that Emperor Guangwu should be the fourth emperor of Xuan, Yuan, Cheng, Ai, and Ping. Emperors Xiaoxuan and Xiaoyuan respected them as their ancestors and fathers. The four relatives temples were moved to Chongling to build temples, and the local prefects offered sacrifices."

It can be said that the lineage of the Eastern Han Dynasty has changed, and Liu Xiu's lineage is finally based on Emperor Xuan as the ancestor and Emperor Yuan as the father.Instead of following the original temple where one worshiped one's ancestors.

Pei Jun's implication is that the Shu Han can imitate Liu Xiu's behavior of recognizing his father, and recognize Lao Liu as a relative in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Before Huang Quan could say something, Wu Ban hurried out of the line and said loudly: "I don't read much, but I have never heard of letting your majesty recognize the father of Emperor Xianzu. Besides, if Emperor Min of Han (Liu Xie) was alive, could it be possible Is it reasonable to ask His Majesty to give him the throne?"

Pei Jun showed embarrassment, as Wu Ban said, Liu Xiu recognized his father at the beginning, but Liu Chan recognized his ancestors, but he recognized the father of the founding emperor Lao Liu, which is really inappropriate.

Liu Chan is also a little dissatisfied. The extra ancestors on his head for no reason are always uncomfortable.And Liu Xiu has pride, so don't Lao Liu and himself have pride?

If Lao Liu was alive, with his temperament, he knew that he would have to beat him to death if he recognized him as his father.

Frowning slightly, Liu Chan asked, "Does the Prime Minister have a different opinion?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I don't have a good opinion, so I dare not speak nonsense."

It is really difficult for Zhuge Liang to answer the question of etiquette.Zhuge Liang didn't know much about the etiquette and law of the founding of the country. Generally speaking, when the first emperor passed away, the new emperor had to change his name the next year.And he immediately changed Zhang Wu to the Jianxing reign after Liu Chan ascended the throne, because he did not understand the etiquette and law.

Huang Quan was puzzled, and asked: "Since Emperor Guangwu respected Emperor Xiaoxuan and Emperor Xiaoyuan as his ancestors and fathers, why did Emperor Xiaoxuan and Emperor Xiaoyuan still worship in the Zhonggao Temple in Chang'an? Is Xiaoyuan included as a sacrifice in the Shizu Temple?"

Du Qiong licked his dry lips, and said: "Your Majesty and the Taiwei don't know that the temple of the ancestors was built by his son Emperor Xiaoming. Among them, the depth ranges from Daqing to Bachelor, and it is impossible to know the meaning of the two temples." The original source of this was accidentally obtained from Cai Yong's "Biao Zhi"."

"According to the "Biao Zhi", Xiaoming built the Shizu Temple because Emperor Guangwu was ordered by heaven to descend to the world, and it was inherited from the sky to quell the difficulties. It is called Zhongxing, which is actually a pioneer, and a new temple for the ancestors should be set up for future generations to worship."

What Du Qiong said was very simple. Liu Xiu did recognize his father at that time, but his son felt that Liu Xiu seemed to be rejuvenated, but he was actually the founding king. He didn't want to put Liu Xiu and other Western Han emperors together, so he built a new Shizu Temple .

After a pause, Du Qiong continued to explain: "Emperor Xiaoming's dying edict, in order to save money, kept the owner in the Shizu Temple, and Emperor Xiaozhang dared not violate it. Emperor Xiaozhang issued an edict before his death, and the temple is like the story of the former emperor. Emperor Xiaohe also Don’t dare to violate it. Therefore, this act became the post-Han etiquette system.”

"The emperors of the former Han Dynasty lived in the high temple, and the emperors of the later Han Dynasty lived in the ancestral temple, thinking that they were divided into courts to resist rituals. Therefore, many of these actions are not in line with the ritual system, and there are no seven temples for the son of heaven, but the distinction between the former and the later Han Dynasty is the beginning."

According to Du Qiong's inside story, Liu Xiu wanted to build a new temple and start a new stove in his early years, but he was forced by the etiquette system to recognize his ancestors.But his wish was fulfilled by his son, who built a new Shizu Temple for him.At the same time, in order to support his father, Emperor Xiaoming did not build a temple alone, but entered the ancestral temple.Later emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty also followed the example of their predecessors, and did not build new temples when they entered the ancestral temple.

Therefore, the Gaomiao worships the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty headed by Liu Bang, while the Shizu Temple worships the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty headed by Liu Xiu.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties built their own temples during their lifetime, and each person had a share and was sacrificed by others.Therefore, the Eastern Han Dynasty pioneered the temple system of later generations with the same hall and different rooms, and a temple within a temple, so that Du Qiong thought it was not in line with the etiquette system.However, the temple system of the Eastern Han Dynasty can be used as a reference for the Shu Han.

Liu Chan coughed lightly and said, "My lineage is inherited from the former Han, and the lineage of the later Han is also inherited from the former Han. Although the two lineages are inherited from Emperor Xiaojing, their lineages are different. If the emperors of the later Han are ancestors, the lineage of the lineage will be disrupted. Preface. Moreover, Emperor Xianzu was alive and did not say that he wanted to take the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty as ancestors, so I, the Great Han, will regard the emperors of the former Han Dynasty as ancestors."

"What does His Majesty mean?"

Liu Chan pondered a little, and said: "I have heard that the father dies and the son succeeds to the throne, and the brother ends up with the younger brother. Today, we can also have this system when we talk about the country. The former Han Dynasty was overthrown, and the later Han Dynasty was revived. This is the father who died and the son." Inheritance of Guo Zuo; in the future when the Han Dynasty will be overthrown, my Great Han will be the ancestor of the former Han Dynasty, he is the elder brother, and I will be the younger brother, and I should do what brothers and sisters should do."

As soon as this remark came out, Du Qiong and the officials couldn't help opening their mouths, and couldn't help being surprised by Liu Chan's brain hole.

"How to solve the big and small sects?" Pei Jun asked doubtfully.

Holding the wat board, Du Qiong said thoughtfully: "It's better to move the ancestors of the emperor Xianzu under the two emperors Xiaoxuan and Xiaoyuan. From now on, the emperors of the Han Dynasty will be incompetent, so I, the lord of the Han clan, will show up." The ancestor emperor, who started from Youyan, revived the great Han. My great Han inherited the former Han Guozuo, and was succeeded by the father and the son; followed by the affairs of the later Han state, and the brother will eventually be the brother."

"There is no need to worry about the difficulties of the big and small sects. It can also follow the example of the later Han Dynasty and build a new Xianzu Temple to stand side by side with the Shizu Temple and the Gao Temple."

Liu Chan nodded slightly, and asked, "What do you think?"

Pei Jun hesitated for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no previous history of this etiquette system. Doesn't it violate the ancient etiquette system."

Liu Chan chuckled and said, "Have you seen Guo Zuo's prosperity? At an extraordinary time, it should be an extraordinary thing. It is very good to govern the country according to the rules, but it also needs to change with the times. How can we stick to the old system."

Pei Jun stepped back and remained silent.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands slightly, and said: "The Great Han clan is just as His Majesty said, from the beginning of the history of Huaxia, there is no such thing as the three prosperity of Guozuo. Now that our Great Han has established a new system, it is not impossible to have new rituals."

Everyone listened to Zhuge Liang's voice, and didn't say anything more.After all, the two speakers of the big man stand together, which means that the tone of the matter is set, and they can't refute anything.Besides, what His Majesty said is not unreasonable.

The reason why Zhuge Liang agrees with what Liu Chan sees is that he himself has a lot of yearning for the former Han. When he talked about state affairs with Lao Liu, he used the failure of the later Han as a lesson, and lamented the incompetence of the two emperors Huan Ling; Emperors.

On the other hand, although lineage is important, it is just icing on the cake, and it is not worth discussing for too long. Now there are feasible strategies, which are not contrary to common sense, and must be implemented.

Liu Chan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, Da Honglu will do the usual things on his behalf, and order the officials to carry out the things that I have ordered."

"promise!"

(Etiquette is gone~)
