Destiny Only Han

Chapter 962 Liu Ying: Why don't you give me my surname!

"Have you ever thought about changing your surname... To be honest, your names are a bit too long, and I can't even remember them."

After Liu Ying finished speaking, the original chattering gradually stopped.

Pairs of confused or questioning eyes looked at him.

Liu Ying said it again, and then said: "Nowadays, the registered population numbers of various ministries in the grassland are all in Chinese characters. Because of the incomplete writing of the Xiongnu, they often use transliteration when registering names and surnames, which is lengthy and inconsistent."

"So why not change to a Chinese surname and give yourself a Chinese name?"

The left and right virtuous kings and others met and looked at each other for a few moments, but they were all silent.

They are actually very resistant to these things.

Several core tribes of the Xiongnu were immigrants from the Xia Dynasty. Later, they absorbed tribes such as Linhu who were defeated by Zhao Guo, who was defeated by the Hufu riding and shooting. Only then did they gradually form a huge nomadic kingdom that once reached Hexi in the west and Daxinganling in the east. .

Therefore, the leaders of the various tribes of the Huns actually have surnames, and this surname can even be traced back hundreds of years.

Although they have now been defeated and become part of the Han Kingdom, they are still proud of the surnames passed down from their ancestors.

The most important thing is whether there is a surname or not, which is a natural watershed to distinguish nobles from commoners.

Common people have no surnames, so they are servants of noble surnames like them.

If they change their surnames, it means that the logic of this rule will also change.

But Liu Ying is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Although he made a suggestion in an inquiring tone, you refuse one and give it a try?

Therefore, they can only return silent.

Dead silence.

But this kind of silence does not include Aya who is on the other side.

Today's Tongda family has been wiped out by the old Shang Shanyu who killed his father and seized the throne, and the old Shang Shanyu's Yan family Unig, and the number of the Shanyu royal family has long been withered. Several women inside.

And after Aya married Lu Matong, although she won the throne of the Huns again, all her children took the surname of Lu Matong.

Therefore, for Aya, it doesn't make much difference whether she is called Lu Aya or any other Aya.

After all, she is a woman, and women have been so for thousands of years.

Liu Ying looked around and said with a sudden smile, "Why don't you unify my surname with mine! How about Liu, the surname of Dahan?"

Liu Bang spat out with a puff.

At this time, there were still many people in Han who did not have surnames. Therefore, after the Liu family came to power and wiped out the old royal families whose blood surnames extended from the age of mythology, ordinary people also gained the privilege of giving themselves a surname.

But the problem is that this way of taking and changing the "surname" is very casual, even somewhat similar to the little days of the past.

For example, the famous Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo's original surname is Zhang. He lost his father and mother when he was young, and was brought up by his brother and sister-in-law. Because he lives in the east of the empire, and because he has great ambitions, he changed his surname to Dongfang. His first name is Shuo, which means "the name of the first month." .

But what Liu Ying said is not the same as these.

His implication was in the Central Plains, that is, to adopt a son...

Liu Bang wiped his mouth and silently watched the development of the situation.

On the other side of him, Zhang Buyi wiped his face, looked at the calm Liu Ying in astonishment, and at the same time got ready to escort him.

But to their surprise, the group of Xiongnu nobles did not rush forward to fight with Liu Ying for their own dignity, but they were very moved.

Ethical stalks are not valid for the Huns.

As a nation where the father marries the younger mother, the elder brother marries the elder sister-in-law, the younger brother marries the younger siblings, and the son marries the daughter-in-law, they don’t have much resistance to accepting someone as a cheap father.

As long as there is enough interest.

For example, when Wusun was destroyed by the Dayue Clan, Kunmo, the son of Wusun Wang Nandumi, was rescued and brought up by Touman Shanyu, so he worshiped Touman Shanyu as his father, and then Maodun Shanyu killed his own father. Da Tou Manchanyu seized the position of Da Chanyu, and Kunmo, who was the same age as Maodun, also worshiped Maodun as his father, so he was able to regroup the remnants of Wusun under the intervention of the Huns, and regained half of the Wusun from the hands of Da Yuezhi. The Hexi Grassland!

Therefore, the surname handed down from the ancestors is extremely glorious... need to add money!

Liu Ying's proposal to change their surname to Liu is undoubtedly the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
Now under the propaganda of the powerful public opinion system established by Liu Ying, in the eyes of ordinary Huns, he is the true god walking in the world, even the only god!

After all, when the Han army under the leadership of Liu Ying broke through the Dragon City of the Huns, their wolf god or other gods did not appear.

Therefore, it was the Han who defeated the Huns, and Liu Ying defeated their gods!
Therefore, the surname of Liu Ying is the surname of God, their family, their blood will be blessed by the gods, be sublimated, and become the impeccable shepherd beside the emperor of Han!

At least ordinary herdsmen would think so!
Aya looked left and right, and asked: "I have doubts, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Liu Ying nodded: "But it's okay to ask."

Aya asked: "I don't know if your majesty said to change the surname, is it just me and the Huns, or all the Huns?"

Liu Ying smiled: "Of course it is all the Huns. This can reduce a lot of workload when counting the number of people and livestock, and it will help you collect taxes."

Aya asked again: "Then His Majesty allowed the Xiongnu to change their surname to Liu, is it just me and the Xiongnu's noble surname, or all Huns?"

Liu Ying didn't hesitate: "Of course it's only you! Ordinary Xiongnu herdsmen are forbidden to change their surname to Liu."

After all, the Han Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, and the Huns were one-third feudal, one-third nomadic, one-third colonial...

Therefore, with Liu Ying's clear statement, King You Xian stood up and said, "I would like to change my surname to Liu, and please give me a name from Your Majesty!"

King Zuoxian, Youguli King and others also expressed their agreement.

Liu Ying was stunned.

After all, there are 24 men in front of him at the moment, and he really hasn't figured out how to name these 24 men!

But Liu Bang's eyes lit up!
He coughed softly: "I am the Supreme Emperor, shouldn't I be asked in advance about changing my surname?"

Liu Ying seemed to be relieved, but continued to go through the process: "This matter is not thoughtful enough, please punish the Supreme Emperor..."

Liu Bang waved his hand: "Now you are the emperor of the Han Empire, supreme, even I can't punish you, it's better to say less about this from now on..."

really?This is what you said... Liu Ying was ecstatic in her heart.

If you believe it, Nai Gong can only say that you are naive... Liu Bang remained silent.

Aya looked left and right, and asked, "Will the Supreme Emperor agree to the Xiongnu's change of surname?"

Liu Bang said with a smile: "The Xiongnu, the descendants of the Miao people of Xia, originally share the same ancestry with the Chinese. Now that they change their surnames to Han, they can be regarded as recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors. I will naturally allow it!" (Note 1)

Liu Ying winked at Zuo Xian Wang and others.

King Zuoxian and others understood in seconds, and they all stood up and saluted Liu Bang, asking him to give him a name.

Liu Bang held back for two seconds and began to think hard.

pain, and joy.

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and began to enjoy the food in front of her.

Well, mainly vegetarian dishes.

These days, he ate too much meat and was a little tired, so he specially ordered someone to use the special train from Chang'an to Longcheng to bring him a lot of off-season vegetables.

For example, chives, garlic, and the sunflower that people like to eat at this time, that is, winter amaranth.

At this moment, there is a famous dish included in "Han Yuefu" in front of him, Kui Cai 羮. (Note 2)

I don't do anything at night, so I have to drink some water... Liu Ying sips soup in the banquet hall among the crowds, and feeds Liu Yan who is sitting next to him with a look of lovelessness from time to time.

The father's love also suffocates the baby.

After all, adults are not picky eaters, so they naturally think that the whole family will have the same taste as him.

..........................................

Dragon City Palace.

This place is said to be a temporary palace, but it is actually a separate garden in Aya. Since Liu Ying arrived in Longcheng, this place has become a temporary palace.

In the east courtyard, outside a house that looks like a yurt, Liu Le walked in carrying a huge golden nanmu mahjong table, put the table down with a snap, and shouted:
"Come on, fight for three hundred rounds!"

After all, Zhang Buyi went to Liu Ying to join in the fun. She was free, so she started to gather a table of people to play mahjong.

Inside the house, Zhang Dan, who was supervising Liu Qi and Liu De's homework, suddenly ran over, grabbed a corner of the mahjong table and held it up, and found that the mahjong table was not moving at all, and immediately slapped his hands hard: "Mother is so strong!"

Liu Le complacently said, "That's natural! From tomorrow on, you will lift the stone lock together with Liu Qi and the others, and you will be as strong as your mother in less than two years!"

As she spoke, she showed off her arms vigorously, not knowing whether it was because of her fatness or her muscular arms.

Lu Zhi rolled his eyes: "Don't be like your mother! Girls only look good if they are slender. For example, your aunts are all charming, not to mention your uncle, even I like it very much! Look! Look at your mother, that means your father is blind..."

Zhang Dan looked at Xu Negative and Zang Er, who were unparalleled in appearance under the light, and immediately nodded vigorously without thinking.

After all, there is no one in this world with distorted aesthetics like her father...

Note 1: The saying that the Xiongnu are Xia people comes from "Historical Records: The History of the Xiongnu".

Judging from the information dug up so far, Tai Shigong's statement is the most likely. After all, Tai Shigong lived in the era when the Han Dynasty beat the Huns in various ways. He must have seen more materials than later generations. After all, the Huns actually also had The writing, but the Huns have long been annihilated in history. Judging from the unearthed information, those so-called writing are similar to ghost paintings and are not systematic.

ps: The records about ancient events in "Historical Records" are more credible than "Bamboo Book Chronicles". After all, "Bamboo Book Chronicles" was unearthed in the Jin Dynasty, so it will naturally exaggerate that the usurpation of the dynasty has been since ancient times...

Note 2: "Yuefu Poetry Anthology Fifteen Congjung Zheng": Chonggu is used for cooking, and sunflower is used for soup.

pps: Regarding the golden nanmu mahjong table, there is such a collection in the Tianjin Porcelain House, which is known as the "Chinese Ancient Porcelain Museum", and the original owner is Puyi.
