Chapter Eighty-Four

In the early Tang Dynasty, Dou Mingren, who had no five sons, was named Yanshan, but there was Dou Lue who had five sons. When Dou Cong heard Chen Ying teach Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuan recited with cheerful words: "Dou Yanshan has Yifang, and teaches children five, and they are all famous." It was natural to think of his great-grandfather Dou Lue.

Dou had five sons, namely Dou Xing, Dou Ba, Dou Yue, Dou Shan, and Dou Chi. Each of them was very famous. Dou Yue served as the prefect of Qinghe, the Northern Wei Dynasty, and died young. Dou Shan was the chief commander of the Central Army of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Duke Nancheng moved west from Emperor Xiaowu of Wei, and served as the Taipu, Weiweiqing, the governor of the three prefectures of Fenbei Huaying, the general of the cavalry, the grand general of the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and the Duke of Yongfu County. Dou Chi was awarded the title of Shaobao, the general of the Zhuguo, and the Duke of Jianchang. Dou Xing was the chief of the Chunguan official (note: "The Literature of Zhou" said that the chief of the Chunguan official was Dazongbo (tài zōng bó), who was in charge of the ritual system and the title was the minister. He was equivalent to the Minister of Rites in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Dou Ba was the governor of Yinzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty (now east of Longyao, Hebei).

In fact, Dou Lue's five sons were the first to be the prefect of two counties (the fourth rank) and the highest to be the tutor, which can be called the peak of a minister. During this period, Dou family had five sons, three dukes, one marquis and one uncle. In particular, Dou Yue, Dou Shan and Dou Chi became the ancestors of the third house of the Dou family.

Chen Ying never expected that things would be so coincidental. If Dou Lue was incompetent in teaching his children, he would not think that Dou Yanshan would not think that he was better than Dou Lue.

But then the problem is that Dou Lue has nothing to do with Dou Yanshan? Chen Ying wrote about Dou like this. Once this lie is not compensated, he may cause trouble. Of course, if this lie is fulfilled, the benefits will naturally not be missing. After all, Dou Cong is also considered the cousin of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

Chen Ying was quite anxious and wise. The so-called unparalleled eloquence in this era is actually nothing more than reading a lot of books, agile mind, and changing concepts. After thinking about it, Chen Ying smiled embarrassedly: "Dou avoided Dou Wu's difficulties, died and ran to the Huns, and became a tribal master."

Dou Cong nodded and said, "Not bad!"

"The Hedouling clan has lived near Yanshan for generations?"

"That's right!"

"What's wrong with Duke Xiao of Wuchang calling Dou Yanshan?" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Dou Yanshan has Yifang, and he teaches his five sons to be famous."

Dou Cong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Of course."

As he said that, Dou Cong looked at Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang in confusion.

Chen Ying was also full of doubts about Dou Cong's arrival at this time. Suddenly, he thought that Dou Cong was probably carrying Li Yuan's important mission. So Chen Ying did not dare to neglect. Chen Ying pointed at Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang and said, "These two are Dalang Yuanqing of Yiyuan County Duke, Erlang Yuanshuang!"

Wu Yuanqing was very well-behaved. He pulled his younger brother Wu Yuanshuang for a moment, and bowed to Dou Cong together, "Yuanqing, Yuanshuang, pay homage to Duke Dou!"

Because Dou Cong surrendered to Li Yuan before Li Yuan's rebellion, and he was the cousin of Li Yuan's father-in-law Dou Yi, Li Yuan was one of the commanders under the command of Li Shimin, the commander of the Right General of the Army. He followed Liu Wenjing to attack Qu Tutong. Later, Li Yuan ascended the throne and became emperor. Dou Cong also rose with the water and was named Duke Fufeng County and General Zuo Tun Guard.

Dou Cong nodded and picked up the two pieces of paper written by Chen Ying. There were actually only 48 words on the two pieces of paper: "At the beginning, people are good at stake. The nature is similar and the habits are different. If you don't teach, your nature will move. The way of teaching is to be specialized. In the past, Meng's mother chose a neighbor, but her son did not learn, and she broke the loom. Dou Yanshan had a righteous deed and taught her five sons, and they all became famous."

Dou Cong looked at Chen Ying in confusion and said, "General Chen, are you?"

"Oh, this is the entrusted by the wife of Yihara County to teach the two of them to learn about literature and ink!"

As soon as Chen Ying started to start, Dou Cong understood what was going on. Warriors like to spend money and make friends with the nobles of the court. No one takes Warriors seriously as a real noble. I think Chen Ying has not yet recognized his ancestors at this time. Once he finds out that he is Houmo Chen, he will probably draw a clear line with Warriors.

Chen Ying continued: "Ying, when he was a teacher for the first time, he was afraid of misleading his children, so he had to do his best. Suddenly, he found that there were no elementary school textbooks yet, so he overestimated his ability, so he personally compiled a book, originally named the Three Character Classic..."

Just when Chen Ying introduced him, Dou Cong was quite dissatisfied with Chen Ying: "At a young age, he dared to be a teacher? He really didn't know how to be a good person." If Chen Ying was just a Chen clan in Luoyang, even if he was behind the Chen clan in Yingchuan, Dou Cong would scold Chen Ying in the face, but the Chen clan's true surname was Hou Mo Chen, and he was the grandson of Hou Mo Chenzong.

To be more detailed, Chen's father Hou Mo Chenrui's father was still above Dou Chi. As for Hou Mo Chen Chong, he left Dou Liu more than one street. Dou Cong really dared not be too presumptuous about the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Then he opened a piece of paper below, which read: "If you don't raise your education, your father's faults. If you don't teach strictly, your teacher's laziness. If your son doesn't learn, it's not suitable for you. If you don't learn, what's the old? If you don't pick up jade, you won't be a weapon. If you don't learn, you won't know the righteousness. When you are a son, you will learn from relatives and friends and learn etiquette...

But after reading the words below, Dou Cong vaguely felt that Chen Ying was definitely not aimless.

Dou Yanshan has Yifang.

Could it be that Hou Mo Chen used this method to show kindness to Dou Fufeng?

Now the Hou Mo Chen family is no better than before, but there are signs of rising. No matter what, Chen Ying returns to the court this time, he will be granted the title of Duke, the General of the Right Martial Guard and the General of the Sixteen Guards. This is not an official position that ordinary people can get. Moreover, his cousin Hou Mo Chenqian will be able to meet Yin Qing Guanglu Dafu, Guangping County Duke, one family and two Dukes, and will not be despised in Chang'an City.

In fact, the foundation of Mohou Chen family is much simpler than it shows. Hou Mo Chen family has operated two generations in the Seventeen Prefectures in Lingnan, and even the Feng family in Lingnan is not as good as that in Lingnan. At this time, there were quite a few places where Li Yuan needed to rely on Hou Mo Chen family.

Moreover, Li Yuan had already intended to marry Hou Mo Chen, and with Chen Ying's current status, there was no need to be like this at all.

If you write a book to praise Dou's ancestors, you really can't do such things if you are not thick-skinned.

Thinking of this, Dou Cong's heart moved. When he returned, he would definitely convey the news that Hou Mo Chen intended to show goodwill with Fufeng Dou.

When the identities are almost different, even any inadvertent act will be misinterpreted with many meanings.

Dou Cong said to Chen Ying: "Marquis Wu Gong wants to go out, but I am afraid I can't find a printing shop!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "That's true!"

At this time, books were still relied on copying. Although there were woodblock printing, they were also in the hands of the aristocratic families. The Dou family was different from the Hou Mo Chen family. The Hou Mo Chen family started his career with military achievements, while the Dou family helped Emperor Xiaowen of Wei to become the Tuoba Xianbei and gradually became a family of the Wenzong clan. The Dou family members were Ding Xingwang and actually received a few general positions, but except for one Dou Chi, they made no achievements in military merits.

Especially his brother Dou Gui, in fact, Li Shimin's first defeat was caused by Dou Gui's carelessness in underestimating the enemy.

Dou Cong said: "After the new book is completed, we Dou can publish a thousand copies for Wu Gonghou!"

"That's really thankful to Mr. Dou!"

Chen Ying actually muttered in his heart that he would be robbed if he had nothing to do.
Chapter completed!
