"In ancient times, surnames and surnames were two different concepts. The surname with women as the center of inheritance, and the surname with men as the center of inheritance are the foundation of human relations. People with the same surname but different surnames can be interoperable in marriage, and those with the same surname can Those with different surnames cannot get married!
With the disintegration of matrilineal society, the concept of surname was gradually weakened. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, people simply combined the surname and surname into one, and all children inherited their father's surname, officially forming a patriarchal society!
The origin of surnames is more complicated. Some people take fiefdom as their surname. For example, the famous Shang Yang is a descendant of Gongsun of Wei State. His real name is Wei Yang. Later, because of his meritorious service in the reform, he was granted the title of Shang Land of Qin, so he changed his name to Shang Yang. His descendants all named him Wei Yang. Shang is the surname!
Some people have surnames based on their place of residence. For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period, some descendants of the overlord Qi Huangong lived outside the east gate of Linzi City, the capital, and were called Dongguo doctors. Later generations took Dongguo as their surname, Dongfang, Ximen, Nangong This is true!
There are people whose surnames are based on official positions, such as Situ, Sima, Sikong, Sikou, Wei, Shi and there are also people whose surnames are based on occupations, such as Tao (pottery making), Tu (slaughtering), Pao (cook), Zi (carpenter) , car (car making), Pu (weaving) countless!
Therefore, the surname is extremely important to the Chinese people. It is not only a symbol of gathering blood relatives in the clan, but also reveals a person's origin and status. Those who are particularly poor do not even have surnames, and the sounds of stones, pillars, and dog eggs are random lifetime!
Without further ado, let¡¯s get back to the story. Cao Cao¡¯s biological father, Cao Song, was the son of the Xiahou family. He was later adopted by the eunuch Cao Teng. The traitor faced a big problem. After establishing the Duke of Wei, he continued to stay in the Cao family. Should he bear the infamy of being a "castrate and remain ugly", or should he acknowledge his ancestors and return to the Xiahou family?
The Xiahou family originally came from the surname Si, which was the bloodline of King Yu. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he granted Yu's descendants the title of Qi. Later, they perished at the hands of the Chu people. Their descendants fled to the State of Lu and were granted the title of Marquis. They are known to the world as He is the Marquis of Xiahou, a descendant of Xia Yu!
The Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty in China and had the reputation of being the most legitimate one in the world. Dayu was revered as a god because of his merits in controlling floods. If Cao Cao changed his surname to Xiahou and claimed to be a descendant of Dayu, and then usurped the Han Dynasty, he would at least There is a valid excuse!
"I am originally of the Xiahou family, a direct descendant of King Yu. Later, due to the good relationship between the family, my father adopted the Cao family and took on the important task of inheriting the bloodline. Now some people have repeatedly suggested that I recognize my ancestor and return to the clan and return to the Xiahou family. On top of the family tree!
Hundreds of rivers flowing eastward will eventually end up in the sea. It is reasonable to recognize the ancestors. However, my father adopted the Cao family and has passed it on for three generations. I am over fifty years old. I was born into the Cao family and died in the Cao family ancestral hall. I dare not go back to the Cao family. Think of other things, so as not to face the shame of seeing your father and ancestors underground in the future! "
Cao Cao attaches great importance to the identity of the descendants of Dayu, and wants to use it as a political trump card, but then the conversation changes and he does 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 wandering around and forgetting his ancestors. Generals such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen will also be alienated from their morals, which is extremely detrimental to the growth of Cao Ying Group!
On the other hand, Cao Cao is a very individual person. The more others ridicule his origin, the more he will swim against the current. He also clearly tells the world that the huge foundation he has is not due to the shadow of his ancestors, but to his own hands and feet. , created with one knife and one gun!
Cao Cao was still Cao Cao and did not change his surname. As soon as this decision was made, the generals named Cao were elated and danced with joy. Their political status was preserved, while the generals of the Xiahou family were sinking. They were very dissatisfied with the result and also had feelings for the Cao family. Resentment!
Cao Cao was extremely cunning. While uniting the hearts of the Cao family, he did not want to lose the support of the Xiahou family, so he came up with a strategy that had the best of both worlds and could better unite the two families!
"Children, join your father, uncles and brothers, and all the adults in the court!"
Three young men walked out from behind the screen. They were all seven or eight years old. They were all cute and well-behaved. They were all the blood of Cao Cao. They were Cao Xuan, the twelfth son, Cao Jun, the thirteenth son, and Cao Ju, the sixteenth son!
In addition to his martial arts and martial arts skills, the traitor was also very powerful in his internal strength. He gave birth to a total of twenty-five sons and seven daughters, and he had excellent genetics. These children were smart and good-looking, and none of them had any crooked melons or cracked dates. I don¡¯t know how many people have died from envy!
"Both the Cao family and the Xiahou family are blood relatives of me. They should share the honor and disgrace, the wealth and honor, and help each other. Therefore, I have decided to adopt my three sons Cao Xuan, Cao Jun, and Cao Ju to General Hussar. What do you think? How about the next one?"
Cao Cao¡¯s method of balancing the two families is a clever one.The most wonderful idea was to adopt his three sons into Xiahou Dun's lap, change their surname to Xiahou, and recognize their father's ancestors!
Xiahou Dun has a strong character and excellent martial arts, and has made many achievements on the battlefield. Now he is a hussar general and a rural marquis of Gao'an. He is a famous and powerful figure in the court. In other aspects, he is going well. No heirs!
There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having heirs. Chinese people value bloodline inheritance more than wealth. If a person cannot give birth to a son, he will often adopt a nephew to inherit his title and property, so as not to end his descendants. People support old age and offer sacrifices!
Cao Cao took note of this and selected three sons to adopt to Xiahou Dun. Although they did not have the same surname, they were cousins. Their blood relationship was extremely close. It was reasonable to adopt adopted children. There were two advantages:
For one thing, the three sons recognizing their ancestors for their father can appease the Xiahou clan and allow them to continue to be loyal to Cao Cao. It can also bridge the conflict between the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan and become a true clan of brothers!
Secondly, Xiahou Dun is the patriarch of the family, and his three adopted children can inherit his title and status. In other words, from now on, the positions of the patriarchs of the Cao family and the Xiahou family will be in the hands of Cao Cao's descendants!
"Survival and death will continue, and kindness will be restored. Your Majesty the Prime Minister's kindness is so kind that I will never forget it. I must be brave and loyal, so that I can repay my kindness in case of any eventuality!"
Xiahou Dun has always been very worried about the issue of heir inheritance. Now that he has three smart sons, he is naturally elated. He quickly knelt down to thank you for your kindness, and then pulled the three children over. They all liked them very much!
"Children, meet your father - good health and long life!"
The three little guys are also very well-behaved. They are not afraid of the adoption. Instead, they gather around Xiahoudun, calling each other "daddy", which seems to be a bit of a competition for favor!
The reason is also very simple. In the Prime Minister's Palace, they are just the sons of commoners, and they are not very favored by their father. In the future, if a brother inherits the inheritance, they will at most be granted the title of marquis, a small fiefdom, and become a country tycoon!
If you are unlucky and get involved in the fight for the heirloom again, you may lose your life. Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang are all ambitious, like wolves and tigers, and they will never show mercy when killing their brothers!
It¡¯s different if they are adopted by Xiahou Dun. They become the legitimate sons in one fell swoop. If the three of them share the huge property of the Hussar General¡¯s Palace, they can live a lifetime of wealth and wealth. They can also avoid the fight for the heirloom. Why not do it!
As for Cao Cao, he has twenty-five sons, and there is nothing to be reluctant to give away a few that he doesn¡¯t like. Anyway, with his physical condition, he can have ten or eight more sons!
"My dear brother, Prime Minister, you will adopt your son as your son, and everyone in the world will respect you!"
"General Xiahou is happy to have a son, and he will have a successor from now on. It is really gratifying and congratulatory!"
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
The ministers came forward one after another to congratulate Xiahou Dun on having a son. They were even more impressed by the traitor's superb methods. He resolved the clan conflicts, gained a good reputation, and arranged a good future for his three sons. He really killed three birds with one stone. ah!
After the grand congratulations, the ministers returned to their seats. They all looked at their noses and mouths and asked questions, but they were all silent, because everyone knew clearly that the next thing to decide was to canonize the heir apparent of the Duke of Wei!
"It is an ancient practice for a state to have a crown prince and a legitimate son in the family. I have made little contribution to the country, so I was named Wei Gong. Now that the principality has been established and the ancestral temple has been established, it is time to confer a crown prince!
What¡¯s more, I am over fifty years old, my hair is growing, my teeth are loose, and I am afraid that I will die soon. I also need to choose a talent among the disciples to inherit my career, govern the country, and benefit all people!
"You have followed me for many years, you are loyal to the Cao family, and you are all important ministers in the court. You must have a unique vision. In your opinion, among my more than 20 sons, which one is worthy of the important task? "
Cao Cao¡¯s falcon-like gaze swept across the faces of many of his sons and ministers, and then in a calm tone, he raised the matter of establishing a heir apparent. However, after asking three times in a row, no one in the room answered!
The fight for the heirloom is the most dangerous. If you say the wrong thing or stand on the wrong team, you may be doomed. Besides, the traitor is as deep as the sea. No one can guess what he is thinking. What kind of son should he cultivate? Considering my wealth and life, I naturally don¡¯t dare to speak casually!
Besides, once the heir apparent is established, heroes from all over the world will inevitably gather together and slowly form a new powerful group, which will then replace the original power and even threaten Cao Cao's power. Fight to the death!
In history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not only afraid that the crown prince's growing authority would threaten his imperial power, but in his later years, he used witchcraft to force the death of Queen Wei Zifu and Prince Liu Ju, and beheaded the crown prince's accomplices. Tens of thousands of peoplehalf of the powerful people in the DPRK are implicated!
"Xiao Lang is the number one general in the army, his meritorious service is unparalleled, and he is also the son-in-law of my Cao family. I should advise you both publicly and privately. Who is the best person for me to appoint as my heir apparent?"
Seeing that no one answered, Cao Cao turned his eyes a few times and put this difficult question in front of Xiao Yi. It was not only an inquiry to him, but also a deep test!
