Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 272 Kinship
  Zhucheng County is located in the southeast of Shandong Province and is under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture. Zhucheng has been an important cultural center and transportation hub of the Jiaodong Peninsula since the pre-Qin period. As for Qinxing County and Zhucheng County, it belongs to Langya County, and Wang Qi's first official title was 'Lang Guogong'. 'Exactly corresponding.

Since the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, Zhucheng City has become a cultural exchange center between the north and the south. Zhucheng has been advocating learning and etiquette since ancient times. It is known as "the legacy of Donglu is still there, and hundreds of thousands of families are studying".

The Wang family in Zhucheng originally had a scholarly family, and officials passed down the family line. From Emperor Chengzuwen to the Tianqi Dynasty, and counting to Wang Qi's predecessor, in more than a hundred years, the Wang family in Zhucheng had more than ten Jinshi in the family, and they had great influence throughout Shandong. With great influence, the Wang family even controls all levels of officials in Zhucheng County, from the county captain to the chief registrar.

The so-called smooth county magistrate and iron-clad subordinates.

Zhucheng County and even Qingzhou Prefecture, once the Wang family is involved, even the Qingzhou Prefecture must consider it carefully.

When Wang Huazhen took office as governor of Liaodong, the royal family in Zhucheng was even more prosperous.

The governor of Qingzhou at that time, who is now the governor of Shandong, Yu Yicheng, personally visited the royal family in Zhucheng to congratulate him.

As for when Wang Qi turned out to be born.
  Kong Yanzhi, the head of the Kong family at that time, had already begun to call Wang Linjiang brothers.

"With the presence of the Duke of Qi, there will be at least three generations of the royal family in Zhucheng, and there will be no shortage of officials, which is enough to run rampant in Shandong." Throughout Shandong, when mentioning the royal family in Zhucheng, the Duke of Qi who is at the height of his power will inevitably be brought to the stage.

There are such noble children in the clan, not only the ancestors protect them, they are like the ancestors in this world!

Boom boom boom! ! !
  As the sound of horse hooves came from the official road of Zhucheng, hope finally shone in the sleepy eyes of Zhusu Lao who was waiting ten miles away.

"coming?"

Everyone's eyes were looking at the official road in the distance shrouded in thin morning mist.

"The Duke of Qi is three miles away!"

The man dismounted ten steps away and trotted all the way to the crowd. He said to the magistrate of Zhucheng and the clan elders: "We'll be there in about half an hour!"

"Quick, start preparing!" Mo Jinliang, the magistrate of Zhucheng, waved his hand quickly and told his men to act according to the plan.

The entire county road in Zhucheng has been surrounded by water. Even though the cold wind is biting, it still cannot stop people's enthusiasm. The official roads are full of onlookers inside and outside, wanting to see the majesty of Duke Qi.

"The broken gold paper, silk cloth, gongs and drums, and drummers are all ready."

"Cool umbrellas? Open them all quickly!"

"The colorful flags are spread out across the street!"

"There are also colorful silks on the street. From the city gate to the Wang family mansion, Qi Guogong's shoes cannot fall on the ground and get a trace of dust!"

When everyone in Zhucheng was busy back and forth as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Wang Qi's carriage appeared in front of everyone along the official road.

"The magistrate of Zhucheng County, Mo Jinliang, leads the people of the county to greet the Duke! I wish the Duke peace and prosperity!"

As Mo Jinliang knelt down, more than a thousand people suddenly bowed down after standing up.

"Welcome to the Duke!"

As the curtain was opened, Wang Qi slowly walked out of the sedan and appeared in front of everyone.

"We haven't seen each other for more than a year, Brother Qi. Duke Qi and I are no longer in the same world."

In the crowd, several friends who grew up with Wang Qi looked at Wang Qi surrounded by people from a distance, still a little unbelievable. After all, three years ago, when Wang Qi followed his uncle Wang Huazhen everywhere, no one could have imagined that things would become so fantastic.

When Wang Qi established his authority in the battle at Siping Fort and word spread to Zhucheng, the clan leader Wang Linjiang had to confirm it several times before he dared to believe it. After all, Wang Qi's unscrupulous behavior in the yamen impressed everyone. After confirming it again, Wang Linjiang immediately ordered, Wang Qi's name was moved from the side branch of the family tree to the core clan member page.

When the news came that Wang Qi had beheaded Huang Taiji on the Horqin Grassland, Wang Linjiang quickly placed Wang Qi's name in the highest position under the patriarchs of the past generations, and specially sent people to repair the tombs of Wang Qi's parents, and ordered People regularly perform rituals and worship.

When Wang Qi defeated the Jurchens in Ningyuan City and routed their main force, that day, Wang Linjiang convened a meeting of the whole clan and finally decided to erect a stone tablet in the courtyard outside the Wang family ancestral temple, inscribed with Wang Qi's achievements in defeating the enemy several times. , every piece of information that saved the Ming Dynasty.

And in the end, when Wang Qi defeated the Jurchens in Liaodong, he truly made an unparalleled feat.
  "We can only list the genealogy separately, with the reputation of Duke Zhang!"

So far, the entire royal family in Zhucheng has honored the title of Duke of Qi.

There may be many shrines to Wang Qi in Beijing, but in Zhucheng County, Wang Qi's shrine is the most popular and worshiped by thousands of people.

In the entire Zhucheng County, and even in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture, who dares to say anything wrong about Wang Qi? It is no exaggeration to say that thousands of people reviled him, and it was no surprise that someone dug into his ancestral grave in the middle of the night.

At this time, outside the crowd, a woman with watery eyes and ink-like hair covered with white brocade velvet stood outside the crowd. She also wanted to see what kind of scenery the bad boy who once made light of her was like now?

"Miss, there, there, the Duke of Qi is there!" The little maid pointed at Wang Qi, who was surrounded by people in the distance.

"The Duke of Qi is just a libertine who is used to frivolous women." The woman frowned slightly and looked at Wang Qi in the distance, still a little unbelievable in her eyes.

How could that arrogant, dandy and vicious man become the famous Duke of Qi today?

It's unbelievable!
  However, there are recent rumors that he killed people outside Xuzhou Mansion, which is consistent with the impression of him.

"I hope the court will not really blame him." The woman looked at Wang Qi with a pair of autumn eyes, with a complicated look in her eyes, and a hint of worry.

Having said that, no one in the entire Zhucheng County would want Duke Qi to be convicted by the court. Some people even think that those people in Xuzhou Prefecture will die if they die, and those who provoke Duke Qi should be destined to be saved. .

"Wang deserves so much love from fellow villagers!" Wang Qi looked at the stone tablet standing in the distance and was surprised for a moment.

Originally, in Wang Qi's heart, he didn't have much emotional concern for this dispensable Wang family in Zhucheng.

Except for his uncle Wang Huazhen, there are not many memorable things in Zhucheng. Although he returns to his hometown, he will not stay in Zhucheng for a long time. Dengzhou Mansion in the future is the top priority!
  Uncle Wang Huazhen had always wanted to reintegrate into the Wang family, so he sent the Wang siblings to the capital to help him take care of his business affairs.

Now, back in his hometown, that kind of enthusiasm and reverence finally gave Wang Qi a feeling of intimacy.

Maybe the sense of family belonging and the pages of the genealogy can really connect something.

"I've been bothering all the elders these days!"

Entering the Wang family mansion, he sat down in the main hall, side by side with the patriarch Wang Linjiang, and held his hands with Wang Qi, who was sitting at the top.

"We will be happy if you can come back, and everyone in the clan will be energetic, and the ancestral hall will be brighter," Wang Linjiang stroked his beard. The more he looked at Wang Qi, the more he looked like the portrait in the middle of the ancestral hall.

This man is so powerful that he seems to have a natural sense of similarity.
