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

Chapter 680 The Republic and the Emperor (25)

If a step must be taken,
Who dares to stand in my way.

If a person is afraid of the stormy waves at the end of his life,
I will create the times.

Cover the storm with your hands,
Why aren't people overbearing?

If we talk about heroes in the future,

I have my name forever!

Ah...the ambition is as high as the sky,

Ah...every age has your name.

Ah... the pride is higher than the sky,

Ah... the prosperous age you created.

Imperial Capital/Chang'e City

MUSEUM

Wang’s Ancestor History Exhibition Area

The children are singing the praises of their ancestors for overcoming difficulties and the hard-won achievements of today.

Among the many children, a boy who was only five years old had the most resonant and melodious voice.

His name was Wang Fuzhi, and he was a descendant of a noble family, that is, a free citizen.

Nobles themselves are nobles, the heirs or offspring of nobles are generally citizens, and the offspring of nobility are generally freedmen.

Wang Fuzhi's grandfather was an aristocrat of the Wang family/Emperor family. His father was downgraded to a citizen because he failed to inherit his grandfather's nobility. As a descendant of a citizen, he is naturally a free citizen.

His grandfather's nobility status was inherited by his aunt, and now his aunt is a nobleman, while his father is just a citizen.

The grandfather favored the youngest daughter (Wang Fuzhi's aunt), and would rather let his youngest daughter inherit the nobility than his son.

Wang Fuzhi, a five-year-old boy, wears a sacred necklace around his neck and holds a book in his hand, which is the "Bible" that tells the legendary stories of the ancestors of the Wang family. Behind him are many murals.

The murals depict the ancestors of the Wang family, from Wang Kang to Queen Yan.

Some people once objected to the engraving of Queen Yan on the murals. They believed that Queen Yan was a controversial figure.

However, Emperor Yu defied all opinions and insisted that the Queen of Yan should be carved on the murals, and in a positive image.

"To deny the Queen is to deny ourselves!"

"No matter what kind of personal grievances we have with the queen, the queen is the undoubted savior of the republic and the savior of the Wang family."

Compared to other nobles, Di Yu was much calmer.

The lackeys/sugar lovers of the Tang Empire wanted to deny the queen, then the entire royal family, and finally the entire republic. This was their goal.

Now some nobles of the Yan Kingdom, because they have personal grievances with the queen, secretly encourage these lackeys of the Tang Empire/mu Tang to slander the queen. This is disregarding the overall situation and destroying the internal unity of the entire family and the entire republic for the sake of personal grievances!
In the mural, the ancestor Wang Kang led the tribe to reclaim farmland and build houses on a piece of wasteland.

Who would have thought that the Republic, which could compete with the entire Central Plains, did not even have a small wooden house when it started, and had to build it by itself.

On the mural, the ancestor Wang Tairan was handling various affairs for the family, and finally died suddenly at work.

In the murals, the ancestor Wang Jian defeated the Wuhuan people, exterminated the Wuhuan people, established great achievements, and admitted that the power of the family council is higher than that of the family head.

On the mural, the ancestor Wang Jue officially established the Yan Kingdom, became the monarch of the Yan Kingdom under the attention of everyone, and changed the family council to the aristocratic council.

In the murals, the ancestor Wang Ba led the nobles to overthrow the rule of the tyrant Wang Ting and restore the aristocratic parliamentary system. Later, Wang Ba followed the example of Yao, Shun and Yu, and gave up the position of Lord Yan to his cousin Wang Xue/Yan Xue. It was the benevolent monarch Yanxue who later started the rule of Renxuan.

On the murals, there is also the famous [Renxuan Zhizhi], Renjun Yanxue and Xuanjun Yanlan, plus Xiangjun Yanhu sandwiched in the middle, the three monarchs of the Yan Kingdom have been in power for more than 100 years, which is the history of the Yan Kingdom. The famous [Rule of Renxuan], during this period of time, Yan State had no major civil wars, nor did it have major foreign wars. The Central Plains also sent money to Yan State crazily because of the Five Hus Southern and Northern Dynasties. During this period, Yan State quickly develop.

During this period, the city's economy developed rapidly, which laid the foundation for the subsequent capital germination.

There are not only monarchs, but also some celebrities, such as the author of "Utopia" Wang Miao (son of Renjun Yanxue), the murals also depict his great ambition to establish a Utopia at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty.

After the death of Xuanjun Yanlan, the country of Yan developed peacefully for another 20 years. During this time, the country of Yan became the center of Confucianism in the world, and the capital of Yan became a place of pilgrimage for Confucian scholars in the Central Plains.

These 20 years are also known as [Yan Kingdom Prosperity].

Then the terrible black plague broke out. During the outbreak of the black plague, Xu Xiake, a descendant of the Wang family nobles, traveled the world, traveling all the way west from Liaodong, and finally arrived in the Spanish area of ​​Rome.

The outbreak of the black plague also announced the end of the prosperity.

When the black plague was over, the vitality of the country of Yan was seriously injured, but the newly enthroned lady, Yan Lian, was ambitious and did not choose to rest and recuperate. Instead, she captured the land of Shandong and forced the head of the Kong family to kneel down and stick out her tongue to lick the soles of her shoes , Also established [Shandong Road], appointed Hou Jing as the Jiedushi of Shandong Road.

Afterwards, the Hou Jing Rebellion broke out, and Yan State was once again facing the crisis of subjugation. The appearance of Yan Ji saved the country.

Later, Yan Ji and his son Yanxu voluntarily weakened the monarchy and delegated power to the parliament, which further improved the aristocratic parliamentary republic of Yan State and changed the principle of parliamentary supremacy from customary law to statutory law.

After that, the troubled times in the Central Plains came to an end, and the unification of the Sui Empire made Lord Yan and his subjects feel a huge crisis.

Fortunately in misfortune, although the Central Plains was unified, Yang Guang, the monarch of the Central Plains, was a ruler with a big addiction to vegetables. After burying a million troops, the Sui Empire, which posed a huge threat to the Yan State, soon fell apart. .

But then, the appearance of Li Shimin and the rapid rise of the Li Tang Dynasty completely suppressed Yan State, Yan State completely lost the orthodox right to speak, people in the country changed their minds, and surrenderers were everywhere.

However, when the mural came to Empress Yan, only a beautiful woman could be seen, but no description could be seen.

Queen Yan's status in the Republic is too special, and Di Yu only temporarily engraved the Queen on the mural to make a statement to everyone, that is, we should not completely deny Queen Yan.

Wang Fuzhi, who was only five years old, after singing the poem, looked at the murals behind him with curiosity in his eyes.

History is right in front of us, and nearly a thousand years have been condensed in these scrolls.

Those people and those things are like watching flowers on horseback.

When he saw the mural of Empress Yan, he couldn't help pointing to the portrait of Empress Yan, and asked curiously, "Why didn't she introduce it?"

"Because, that's a tyrant!" A teenager visiting the museum cursed: "She made us miserable!"

The young man had heard the elders in his family curse Queen Yan since he was a child, so he also subtly hated Queen Yan very much, and incidentally hated the Republic and the parliamentary republic.

His grandfather was a plantation owner who owned many slaves. After the plantation went bankrupt, he could not accept this cruel fact and finally hanged himself.

"Empress Yan's cruelty caused our family to die. My grandfather, under her brutal rule, was persecuted and had to commit suicide."

"Such a tyrant can be engraved on the murals to sing praises, what is the law of heaven? What is the law of heaven! What is the law of heaven!"

The boy's angry rant attracted the attention of museum staff, and he was soon arrested for cursing the nobles.

He cursed and cursed until he got to the top.

It was enough to scold the empress Yan who had already left the country. She also scolded the Wang nobles who were in power, and even openly claimed to subvert the republic. Naturally, she would be treated as a model and dealt with.

Wang Fuzhi, who was only five years old, did not understand why these people hated the queen so much, but he was full of curiosity, and he wanted to truly understand the mysterious queen in the mural.
