Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 223 Li Court Sweeping Points ([-])

Wang Bian's four men wiped out the main force of Wuhuan, and the news that nearly [-] Wuhuan had been killed spread to Luoyang, and from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Emperor Liu Xiu, who was inspecting the generals attacking Kaihuo in Chang'an, was shocked.

Although it was easy for [-] Han cavalry to defeat Wuhuan, as long as they were not commanded by idiots, at least they would be able to draw.

But in Liu Xiu's expectation, Wang Bian just brought [-] Han cavalry to convince Wuhuan, and it was enough for the Wuhuan people to bow their heads to the big man from then on.

Never expected that Wang Bian would be so strong that he almost wiped out Wuhuan's clan.

"Wang Mingyu has the character of Wang You'an of the Taiyuan Wang family!" Liu Xiu sighed in surprise, this Liaodong Wang family has now produced a famous general, and she is also a female general.

Although Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's record is much better than Wang Changzhi's, but after all Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's background is too low, they are still pure foreign relatives, so they are disgusted by scholars.

When Sima Qian described the merits of Wei and Huo, he recorded them like a running account. He would not deliberately write indiscriminately.

But not writing blindly does not mean that you will write seriously.

The achievements of Wei and Huo were recorded by Tai Shigong in the form of running accounts, while the achievements of Wang Changzhi and Li Guang were discussed in a long way by Tai Shigong.

Wei and Huo, who were victorious in all battles, were disliked because of their humble backgrounds. Li Guang, who was born as a public official, often lost battles in the later period, which made him unable to boast. object.

Liu Xiu also often boasted that Ma Yuan was Gu Zhiyou'an, but when Liu Xiu was boasting like this, Liu Xiu himself didn't know that Wang Youan and Wang Bian were actually from the same family.

It's just that some scholars like to use "Ancient You'an" to praise the commander in chief, so Liu Xiu also followed the scholars to praise his excellent generals in this way.

It's just because the scholars' disciples also mistakenly thought that Wang You'an belonged to the Taiyuan Wang family.

"In the battle of Minyue, he won the commander alone. In the battle of Longcheng, three thousand enemies were captured. In the battle of Heshuo, the Zuoxian king escaped. In the battle of Monan, he killed [-] enemies."

"Swallow South Vietnam, destroy North Korea, and annex Wuhuan, alas! Wu Zaishi will do the same!"

"If Wang You'an is restored today, why are you afraid of millions of soldiers from the Huns!"

Wang Changzhi and Wei Qing participated in many battles together, but they were forcibly placed on Wang Changzhi alone by the scholars, just because the scholars hated Wei Qing's humble background.

Although it has only been 170 years since Wang Changzhi fought against the Huns, 170 years has been a long time.

The death of Emperor Han Gao was only 80 years after Sima Qian wrote the book. As a result, the distance of only 80 years was enough to make Sima Qian confused whether Liu Bang was Emperor Han Gao or Han Gaozu.

It can be seen that in the face of the long years, even the founder of the empire like Han Gaodi Liu Bang is easily forgotten by the people of the world, let alone Wang Changzhi is just a general who fought against the Huns?
Moreover, the Liaodong Wang family also intends to reduce their influence, not wanting the Central Plains people to notice their existence. The Liaodong Wang family only wants to make a fortune in silence.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for scholars who can even mistake Liu Bang to mistake Wang Changzhi's origin.

The scholars praised Wang You'an year after year, but they mistakenly thought that Wang You'an was the Wang family of Taiyuan.

What's more interesting is that the Taiyuan Wang family actually claimed to the world that Wang You'an was indeed the ancestor of their family in order to look good.

The Taiyuan Wang family even built a tomb of Wang You'an in Taiyuan County, and their family members worship Wang You'an, the 'ancestor', every year.

Almost all the scholars believed that Wang Youan belonged to the Wang family of Taiyuan, but believed that Wang Youan belonged to the Wang family of Liaodong.

The royal family of Liaodong does not fight for these false names. Too many false names are easy to be stared at by the imperial power, which is not conducive to the development of the family. Therefore, the children of the Wang family know that Wang You'an is the ancestor of their family, but they never compete with the Taiyuan Wang family. Mausoleum worship.

"Protect Wang Jian, the captain of Wuhuan School, as Xilanhou (Tinghou), and Zhang Yuliang, Lu Yiran, and Li Chengyou as Guanneihou." Emperor Liu Xiu ordered, and then continued to think about the matter of suppressing Kaixiao.

Xilan is a pavilion in Jiancheng County, Bohai County, which is equivalent to a village. Therefore, Xilanhou enjoys the head tax of the entire Xilan Pavilion, so Xilanhou can also be called Xilantinghou.

In the later period of Emperor Wu, the hereditary title was abolished, so the Xilanhou of Wang Min could not be passed on to his next generation. After her death, the poll tax of Xilanting would belong to the imperial court again.

Needless to say, the Marquis of Guannei is just a marquis of honor, with the title of Marquis empty, but no taxation.

A few months later
When Emperor Liu Xiu was dealing with the settlement of Longxi Kaixiao, Wang Jian finally received the imperial edict to make her a marquis.

After paying homage to the eunuch, Wang Bian and the others couldn't wait to take up the post of Wuhuan.

Each of the four major families hides the taxation of 10,000+ population in Liaodong, so the poll tax for a few hundred people in a small pavilion is really a drop in the bucket for Wang Bian, and she doesn’t even bother to go to the Xilan Pavilion in Bohai County to collect taxes , Directly transferred Xi Lanting's tax to the imperial court, so as to gain a good reputation of not loving money.

This moved the emperor Liu Xiu very much. He didn't expect that there would be someone who would take the initiative to return the rewarded taxes to the court. Isn't this a loyal minister?This is not celebrity who is?This is not indifferent to fame and fortune, who is it?
Even Da Sima Gengyan looked at Wang Bian with admiration after hearing about this incident, and felt that perhaps he really underestimated this female thief at the beginning. Not only was she beautiful, but she also knew how to march and fight. Don't be too perfect!

another few months later

"Wang Mingyu, quite like Wang Guangming of the Wang family of Langya!"

Emperor Liu Xiu, who had just finished supervising the battle in Chang'an and was about to return to Luoyang, couldn't help but praise Wang Bian after hearing about it. The scholars around the emperor also praised Wang Bian without hesitation.

Scholars mistakenly thought that Wang Changzhi was the Wang family of Taiyuan, and at the same time they mistakenly thought that Wang Changjiong was the Wang family of Langya.

The Langya Wang family also happily built a tomb of Wang Guangming in Langya County, claiming to the world that Wang Guangming is the ancestor of their Langya Wang family. "Tuntian Policy" allowed Emperor Wu at that time to temporarily alleviate the refugee crisis by relying on farming, and also allowed those refugees who had no land to cultivate to have land to cultivate.

Langya Wang's children now go to the "Wang Guangming Tomb" built by themselves every year to worship, and they even swear that Wang Guangming (Wang Changjiong) is buried in this tomb.

"Wang Changjiong, styled Guangming."

"Mr. Guangming is the ancestor of the Langya Wang family. He was a down-and-out scholar in his early years. He often didn't have enough to eat, but he studied hard. Because his family couldn't afford candles, he caught a lot of fireflies for light. Illuminate, and study the classics of the two sages of Confucius and Mencius under the light of fireflies."

"In his later years, Emperor Wu was brutal, and Mr. Guangming stepped forward to plead for justice for the wronged prince. He also worried about the country and the people, defied power, and was unwilling to bow to the powerful. All were given the freedom to trade in salt and iron."

"It was precisely because of his pleading for the people this time that he offended the Huo family, who had power over the government and the public, and was suppressed by the Huo family, and finally died in depression."

This is what the scholars are singing now. Because of the age, there is a little deviation from what actually happened.
