This is an era of emphasis on birth and bloodline, and if a good ancestor wants to become a human being, he must put in more effort than a group with good blood, and sometimes he may not be able to get the corresponding harvest if he works hard.

Lu Zhe's successful rise and gain a firm foothold is not that no one wants to be far-fetched to "find" a famous ancestor to prove that Lu Zhe has a noble bloodline. The Lü family did not have a prominent figure in the ancient pre-Qin, for example, the former Lü family surnamed Jiang (that is, the Qi royal family before the Tian dynasty Qi) was one, and among the more than 3,000 vassal states divided by the Zhou family, there was also a prince surnamed Ji and Lü, and the rest such as Lü Buwei also had many celebrities.

In fact, the origin of the Lu family is from Jiang Ziya, people basically know Jiang Ziya, but not everyone knows Jiang Ziya's real name is Lu Shang.

Lu is "clan", Jiang is "surname", Ziya is "name", according to the surname of the ancient pre-Qin, "clan" is more important than "surname", usually said that a certain clan refers to the clan, and "clan" is a big family and nobles, after all, "clan" is related to the fief, "surname" is an extension of the clan after the branch is scattered. In addition, "clan" is also a continuation of the matriarchal society in ancient times, and people in ancient times believed that women could conceive and give birth to life greatly, and there was an inexplicable idea of respect and worship in ancient times.

It was not until the Hu people replaced the orthodox Chinese ethnic group to occupy the Central Plains that the clan was weakened, and since then the "clan" has usually been named on women, and many women in ancient times had no names, only called by the woman's maiden name, for example, someone's wife was called a certain clan. If the land of China had always been ruled by the orthodox Chinese ethnic group, the "clan" would still be more important than the "surname".

The big nobles will have the storage of "clan" and "surname", the main branch is prefixed with "clan" as the "name", and the side branch is prefixed with "surname", if the side branch is developed later to be greater and stronger than the main branch, it will be replaced, and the prefix of the side branch will be re-crowned with "clan", like in the Qin royal family because of its strength. The more the envoys of various countries began to change their titles when they called the King of Qin, and the words "Zhao Zheng, King of Qin" can often be seen in the records of state envoys in the history books, which is not a contemptuous act, but is an acknowledgment of the strength of the Qin royal family and its development is better than that of the Zhao royal family.

His subordinates wanted to find a prominent ancestor for Lu Zhe, but Lu Zhe only felt crying and laughing, and later developed into asking Lu Zhe's "surname", but Lu Zhe's surname was "Lu" very clearly, and he didn't know what his "clan" was at all.

As a person with a modern mind. Lu Zhe would not "find" an ancestor for himself at will, and under his disgust and rejection, the absurd matter of the Han courtiers "finding" an ancestor for his king came to an end.

For many people, it was a bad time for Qin to dominate the world and smoke everywhere, after all, the Qianshou at the bottom did not want to live in an era of war, because they would be the most vulnerable group. But for some, it is an era of opportunity. The biggest beneficiary of this era is, of course, Lu Zhe, who has already established the country and successfully gained a foothold, and the rest are some people who have no prominent ancestors and have benefited from this war.

There are not many people who have become new aristocrats, but the number of people who have lost their aristocratic treatment is unimaginable, and the changes in the ruling group have caused those who "eat their old books" to lose the excellent status brought by their bloodline. It's not that no one wants to keep their privileges, but a struggle will only bring iron and fire in the face of a strong Han army, and since the Wang clan has taken the lead on the road of annexation, it can be regarded as an example, and more and more people know that struggling is useless, but to get closer and find new opportunities.

Some people's interests are lost, and some people gain benefits because of it. It was a test of choice, and Liu Bang clearly made the right choice.

What kind of person is Liu Bang? I guess no one knows anything but himself.

Lu Zhe took Liu Bang with him when he went north, and he always got to know something after observing along the way. According to Lu Zhe's observation, Liu Bang's personality is a very "four-sea" person according to modern descriptions. And "Four Seas" is actually able to speak well and have an open-minded personality from a certain aspect. Liu Bang never pretends to be a person with cultivation or temperament, and he will not deliberately disguise the ruffian spirit in his body, but he is very measured in what kind of attitude he should have in the face of whom.

Again, that's the same sentence. What kind of experience is bound to form what kind of thoughts and thinking, a person is always choosing a different life for himself when faced with a choice. Liu Bang's experience can be regarded as colorful, Lu Zhe looked at Liu Bang's behavior of becoming Peiguo (Qi's subordinate feudal state), and analyzed it and found that Liu Bang was a person who liked pleasure and luxury, and whether he had any big ambitions was not so certain.

The new ruling class always has to support a group of emerging groups to suppress the old groups, such a superficial truth Lu Zhe may not understand, but he has not yet figured out how to operate, which is why the nobles of the country under Lu Zhe's rule are scarce.

Because of the scarcity of nobles in Lu Zhe's ruling group, Liu Bang, a third-class baron, can actually be said to have an advantage in terms of identity, for example, how can he be ranked higher in some banquets, and the dining utensils are relatively pompous compared to those who are not nobles.

After leaving Handan, Lu Zhe led the army to the south, and according to the itinerary, he was supposed to go to Sanchuan County, but the arrangement of the later itinerary changed again.

There were many people who proposed not to go to Sanchuan County, and many people vaguely said that although the 400,000 or so troops of Sanchuan were reorganized, they also showed obedience in some behaviors, but God knows if that was the case. Kuaitong even made it clear that he was worried, saying that the world was about to be reset, and the gentleman would not stand under the dangerous wall or something.

Doesn't it just feel that the more than 400,000 Qin troops who have just received reorganization in Sanchuan County are unreliable, and at the moment when Lu Zhe, the ruling group, is about to gain the entire "world", it is better not to toss a little extra thing.

In some respects, Lu Zhe was a good person, and after most people put forward their opinions, he did not insist, and in addition, as a king, it was indeed not appropriate to leave the capital for too long, so he agreed that the ministers would not go to Sanchuan, but issued an order for Xu Yan and some generals of the original Central Plains Army to rush to Chen County to wait.

It took almost two months on the road, and more than 100,000 people, including Lu Zhe, arrived in Chen County, where they stopped at Guling in Chen County for a short rest.

Guling is now the national capital of Korea, and to the west of it is a water system called "Gouhong", which is about fifteen miles past Changping.

That's right. The Changping here is the Changping of the "Battle of Changping", and so far Changping is still the sad place of the Zhao people, and Zhao Xie, who accompanied him to the south, also made a request to go to the battlefield site to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers.

Lu Zhe was speechless in the face of Zhao Xie's request, he didn't know whether Zhao Xie meant it or who suggested it, and he actually made such an inopportune request at an inopportune time.

Of course, there is a reason to say that it is not appropriate, Lu Zhe's strong rise must be to dominate the world again, and the merger has been negotiated in Handan, and under the influence of this matter, the Qin royal family also sent members of the royal family to meet him, and one of the heirs of the first emperor named Jiang Lu rushed to Guling.

No matter what grievances and hatreds the previous warring states had, it was obviously a matter of the past. Under the leadership of Lu Zhe, the following countries are about to be peacefully united, so do you have to make such a show on the occasion of Lu Zhe's banquet to entertain his ministers and princes?

Zhao Xie howled and cried at the banquet and asked to go to Changping to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in the battle with Qin. In particular, Zhao Xie was crying and howling what the more than 400,000 Zhao pawns who were killed alive died too miserably, which made Lu Zhe even more embarrassed.

In a sideways look, Zhao Xie was still pleading, and the generals on the other side directly hid their faces, and the generals who came from Sanchuan County were staring down at the dishes on the table, and Han Wei was looking at Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe wondered in his heart, if it weren't for such an occasion, he obviously didn't refuse Zhao Xie to go to Changping to pay tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed for Zhao State. But in front of the Qin royal family, there were also so many generals from the Qin State present, wasn't it a slap in the face by agreeing to Zhao Xie to go to the memorial?

For a while, there was only Zhao Xie's cry in the hall. Lu Zhe was helpless and frequently glanced at Kuaitong.

Kuaitong is also in trouble, the Han State is a newly rising country, naturally it has nothing to do with the previous grievances of the various wars, but the Han State has absorbed too many people from other countries in the process of conquest. Most of the current incumbent military generals of the Han State did not treat the Qin State so well, and if it were not for the fact that the Han State had about three layers of civil and military generals from the Qin State, Lu Zhe himself would have sufficient reasons to suppress the use of force against the Qin State. In fact, the Han State should also be an anti-Qin faction.

"The past is gone."

An abrupt voice was so obvious in the crying that everyone, including Lu Zhe, looked at the person who spoke, but saw that it was Liu Bang who stood up and was talking.

"The nations of war have each other's casualties, and that is a matter of success or failure. It's been forty or fifty years, and King Zhao is obviously suitable to sacrifice as a king. ”

Zhao Xie seemed to be a little dazed, he stopped crying and looked at Liu Bang with a grief-stricken face, but saw Liu Bang raise the wine cup and sprinkle the wine on the ground with the ritual of sacrifice, and only reacted after three consecutive times, but he was about to speak but was interrupted again.

Kuaitong was the first to react, he stood up and said: "The soldiers who sacrificed the body of the king to fight and die for the country have indeed shown their sincerity. After a pause, he glanced at Lu Zhe, bowed his hand to the people present, and said: "The soldiers who have always died in battles for the country are a group of people worthy of respect, let us only pay tribute with a glass of turbid wine." As he spoke, he raised the wine cup and sprinkled it on the wooden floor according to the etiquette.

When Lu Zhe took the lead in commemorating the soldiers who had died in the war for the country for a long time, they had actually made history, because this was the act of all royal families of all countries regardless of nationality to jointly commemorate the fallen soldiers for the country.

After Lu Zhe spilled the wine, he threw an appreciative look at Liu Bang, and Liu Bang, who received the response, was naturally very happy.

Liu Bang's cleverness is no less than others, he is also a very good person, taking advantage of the fact that everyone in the hall is talking about the Han Kingdom is going to build a cemetery, no one pays attention to Zhao Xie's timing, he walked over to help first, and found that Zhao Xie did not cooperate directly is dragging, and dragged Zhao Xie back to his position by dragging it.

The Han Kingdom is indeed to build a very wide cemetery, at first to commemorate the soldiers who died for the country after the Han Kingdom, and set a fixed day every year for the royal family to pay tribute, but also to respect the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. Later, Lu Zhe felt that this was not atmospheric at all, and because once it merged with other countries to form an empire, it seemed a little narrow, and at his request, in addition to paying tribute to the soldiers who died for the Han Dynasty, the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in defending the territory of the Chinese ethnic group or expanding the Chinese ethnic group in the past were commemorated together in the set festival.

There is no special name for the cemetery, it is directly called "Martyr's Garden", and the selected location is near Yiling in the west of Nanling, where there are mountains, rivers and plains, and it is also the place where Lu Zhe made his fortune, so naturally there is no objection.

Lu Zhe once said that he would not build any imperial mausoleum after a hundred years, and he would be buried in the Martyrs' Garden when he died, so that the specifications of the "Martyrs' Garden" would naturally be infinitely high.

It is naturally unreasonable not to build an imperial mausoleum, which king does not have his own mausoleum after his death? Unless that king is the king of a dead country. Lu Zhe's decision was naturally opposed by everyone, but when Lu Zhe said that "I will take them to fight in another world when I die", the civil and military ministers naturally did not want to raise any objections, but instead enthusiastically asked to be buried in the "Martyrs' Garden" after their death, saying that they would follow Lu Zhe to fight in another world.

Lu Zhe's liking of statues is a public thing, and the statue about him in Nanling Palace City is about to be completed, and at the same time, most of the people who followed him from the end of the year also have statues erected in the palace, saying that it is to allow future generations of kings of the empire to pay tribute to the founding monarchs and ministers, and they can also see the words carved under the statue, and understand how difficult it is to establish the empire.

Being able to leave the statue in the palace, with the establishment of the empire, Nanling is destined to become the administrative center of the entire Chinese land, and the palace city of Nanling is naturally the "heart" of the world.

The current territory of the empire with the expansion of the south is far larger than when the Qin unified the world, after the Han army conquered the south, six new counties were established, the newly expanded territory is almost one-third and more than a third of the Qin unified the world, now the Han army not only continues to expand the territory in the south, the north is also because the Han army is out of the fortress to fight in the increasing territory, if in terms of land area, the empire is destined to create an unprecedented feat.

Lu Zhe not only wants to erect statues of meritorious ministers in the palace city, but also set up some sections of the Nanling Tomb, and the "Martyrs' Garden" must also be there.

The empire is about to be established, and the people who are tied to the interests of the empire naturally hope that the empire can survive forever, so if the empire can last forever, wouldn't the statues erected be able to last forever? It is hard to imagine the excitement of many people just thinking that their honor can be seen by their children and grandchildren hundreds or thousands of years from now. (To be continued......)
