"In ancient times, surnames and surnames were two different concepts, with women as the center of inheritance of the surname, with men as the center of the inheritance of the name, as the foundation of the importance of human ethics, the same surname is different, marriage is interconnected, the surname is the same but the name is different, marriage is not passable!

With the collapse of the matrilineal society, the concept of surname was gradually weakened, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, people simply combined the surname and surname, and all the children inherited the father's surname, officially forming a patrilineal society!

The origin of the surname is more complicated, there are people with fiefs as the surname, such as the famous Shang Ying, who is the descendant of the grandson of Wei Guo, whose real name is Wei Ying, and later because of the meritorious change of the law, he was enshrined in the business land of Qin, so he changed his name to Shang Ying, and his descendants all took Shang as his surname!

There are people with the surname of the place of residence, such as the Spring and Autumn Period, some of the descendants of the overlord Qi Huan Gong lived outside the east gate of Linzi City, the national capital, called Dongguo Dafu, and the descendants took Dongguo as their surname, Dongfang, Ximen, Nangong...... That's all true!

There are those with official positions as their surnames, such as Situ, Sima, Sikong, Sikou, Wei, Shi ......, and those with occupations as their surnames, Tao (pottery), Tu (slaughtering), Ku (cook), Zi (carpentry), Che (making cars), Pu (weaving), ...... Countless!

Therefore, the surname is extremely important to the Chinese, not only as a sign of gathering clan blood relatives, but also to reveal a person's origin, status, those who are particularly poor, even without a surname, stones, pillars, dogs and eggs bark for a lifetime!

Gossip is little, the book is back to business, Cao Cao's biological father Cao Song is the son of the Xiahou family, and later passed on to the eunuch - Cao Teng, the traitor is facing a big problem, after the establishment of the Wei principality, will he continue to stay in the Cao family, bearing the infamy of 'eunuch Yu Chou', or recognize the ancestors and return to the Xiahou family?

Xiahou clan originally from the surname, is the blood of King Yu, after King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, the descendants of Feng Yu Yu Qi, and then perished in the hands of the Chu people, the descendants fled to the Lu country, and was crowned as a marquis, the world called Xiahou, that is, the marquis of Xia Yu's descendants!

Xia is the first dynasty in China, with the name of the orthodoxy of the world, Dayu because of the merit of water control, but also respected as a god in general, if Cao Cao changed his surname to Xiahou, and to the descendants of Dayu to call himself a descendant, after usurping the Han Dynasty, at least there is a reasonable excuse!

"The old man is the bloodline of the Xiahou family, a descendant of the King of Dayu, and then because of the good of the family, the father succeeded to the Cao family, and served as the important task of the bloodline inheritance.

Hundreds of rivers flow eastward, and eventually return to the sea, it is reasonable to recognize the ancestors, but it is also reasonable to recognize the ancestors, but the father has succeeded the Cao family, and has been passed down for three generations, and the old man is also over fifty years old, born as a person of the Cao family, died in the Cao ancestral hall, and dare not think about anything else, so as not to see his father and ancestors in the underground in the future! ”

Cao Cao attaches great importance to the identity of Dayu's descendants, and wants to use it as a political card, but then the conversation changed and did not return to the Xiahou family, Cao Mengde is still Cao Mengde!

On the one hand, if Cao Cao changes his surname to Xiahou, it will inevitably attract infamy, saying that he is a dynasty and a twilight four, a number of classics forgetting his ancestors, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen These generals will also deviate from morality, which is extremely unfavorable to the growth of Cao Ying Group!

On the other hand, Cao Cao is a very individual person, the more others sarcastically mock his background, the more he has to sail against the current, and also clearly tell the world that the great foundation he has is not due to the shadow of his ancestors, but created with one hand and one foot, one knife and one gun!

Cao Cao is still Cao Cao, and he has not changed his surname, as soon as this decision was made, the generals surnamed Cao were full of joy and dancing, their political status was preserved, and the generals of the Xiahou family were very dissatisfied with this result, and they also had a grudge against the Cao family!

Cao Cao is extremely cunning, and while uniting the hearts of the Cao family, he does not want to lose the support of the Xiahou family, so he came up with a best of both worlds to better unite the two families!

"Children join fathers, uncles and brothers, and all the adults of the court!"

Three teenagers walked out behind the screen, all of them were seven or eight years old, all of them were pink and cute, and their manners were good, they were all Cao Cao's blood, respectively the twelfth son Cao Xuan, the thirteenth son Cao Jun, and the sixteenth son Cao Ju!

Except for the traitorous male martial arts, the 'internal strength' is also very powerful, a total of twenty-five sons and seven daughters, and the genetics are excellent, these children are smart and clever, good looks, and there is not a crooked melon and cracked dates, I don't know how many people envy to death!

"The Cao family and the Xiahou family are all blood relatives of the old man, and they should share honor and disgrace, share wealth and prosperity, and assist each other, so the old man has decided to pass on his three sons, Cao Xuan, Cao Jun, and Cao Ju, to the hussar general, what do you think?"

Cao Cao's method of balancing the two families can be described as extremely ingenious, that is, to pass his three sons to Xiahou Dun's knees, let them change their surnames to Xiahou and return to their ancestors for their father!

Xiahoudun has a strong personality, excellent martial arts, and has made many contributions on the battlefield, and now the official worships the hussar general, the Gao'an Xianghou, is a well-known magnate in the court, and other aspects are also satisfactory, that is, he is over forty years old and has never had an heir!

There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is great, the Chinese for the inheritance of bloodline, more important than wealth, if a person can not give birth to a son, often succeed a nephew, to inherit their title, property, avoid cutting off children and grandchildren, no one to support the sacrifice!

Cao Cao took a fancy to this, so he selected three sons and prepared to pass them on to Xiahoudun, although the two are not the same surname, they are cousins, the blood relationship is extremely close, and it is reasonable to have stepchildren, and there are two benefits:

First, the three sons recognized their ancestors for their father, which could appease the Xiahou clan and let them continue to be loyal to Cao Cao, and also bridge the contradictions between the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan and become a real brotherly clan!

Second, Xiahoudun is the patriarch of the family, and the three children have succeeded as sons, and they can inherit his title and status, that is to say, from now on, the position of the patriarch of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan will be in the hands of Cao Cao's descendants!

"Survival continues, grace is recreated, the prime minister has a good intention, the little brother is really toothless and unforgettable, he must saddle the horse and be brave and loyal, so as to repay the kindness in case!"

On the issue of inheritance of heirs, Xiahoudun has always been very distressed, and now that he has three clever sons, he is naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank Houen, and pulled the three children over, one by one, they like it very much!

"Kids, meet Daddy - be healthy and live a long life!"

The three little guys are also very well-behaved, and they are not afraid because of succession, but they gather around Xiahoudun, shouting one by one, which is quite a bit of a competition for favor!

The reason is also very simple, they are in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they are the sons of concubines, and they are not very favored by their fathers.

If you are unlucky, and then get involved in the battle for the reserve, maybe your life will be lost, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang are all ambitious, wolf-like and tiger-like people, and they will never be soft when they kill their brothers!

It's different if they pass on to Xiahoudun, they have become sons and daughters in one fell swoop, and the hussar general's mansion is a great business, and the three of them can be rich and noble for a lifetime, and they can also avoid the battle for the prince, why not!

As for Cao Cao, he has twenty-five sons, and he has nothing to give away a few that he doesn't like very much, and there is nothing reluctant to give up, anyway, with his own physical condition, it is no problem to regenerate ten or eight!

"The prime minister loves his brother, and he succeeds him with the son of his knees, and everyone in the world respects him!"

"General Xiahou is happy to have a noble son, and there will be successors from now on, which is really gratifying!"

…………………………

The ministers stepped forward one after another, congratulating Xiahoudun on having a son, and for the superb means of the traitorous male, he admired the five-body throwing, resolved the clan conflict, won a good reputation, and arranged a good future for his three sons, it was really three birds with one stone!

After the grand congratulations, the ministers returned to their seats, and they were all silent, because everyone's hearts were cleared, and the next thing to decide was to canonize the prince of the Principality of Wei!

"The state has a prince, the family has a son-in-law, this is the ancient practice also, the old man has a thin contribution to the community, so he was named the Duke of Wei, now the principality has been decided, the temple has been established, and it is time to canonize a son!

What's more, the old man is over fifty years old, his hair is gradually growing, and his teeth are loose, I am afraid that he will soon be in the world, and he also needs to choose a material that can be made among the sons, so as to inherit the old man's career in the future, govern the country, and benefit all the people!

You have followed the old man for many years, loyal to the Cao family, and all of them are important ministers in the court, and your eyes must be unique. “

Cao Cao's eagle-like gaze swept over the faces of many sons and ministers, and then in a steady tone, he brought up the matter of Lichu, but he asked three times in a row, and no one in the audience answered!

The battle for the crown is the most dangerous, if you say the wrong thing, or stand on the wrong team, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe, and the traitor is as deep as the sea, no one can guess his thoughts, in the end, to cultivate that son, the ministers for the sake of their lives, naturally dare not speak at will!

Besides, once the prince is established, it will inevitably gather heroes from all over the world, and slowly form a new elite group, which will replace the original forces, and even threaten Cao Cao's rights, which is not easy to do.

The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history was afraid of the growing authority of the prince and threatened his imperial power, so in his later years, with the help of the scourge of witchcraft, he forced the queen Wei Zifu and the prince Liu Ju to death, and beheaded tens of thousands of princelings...... Half of the powerful people in the DPRK and China are implicated!

"Xiao Lang is the first general in the army, his merits are unparalleled, and he is the son-in-law of my Cao family.

Seeing that no one answered, Cao Cao's eyes turned a few times, and he put this difficult question in front of Xiao Yi, which was not only an inquiry to him, but also a deep test!
