When Ma Zhou was in the villa, he heard that Yin Qingfeng was going back to live in the city, so he started to get confused.

Yin Qingfeng had the king's order, so he had a reason to live with his father and grandfather and live outside the city forever. But Yin Qingfeng is going to return to his father and grandfather now, so how should he, a "friend", be with him? In the eyes of outsiders, as long as he follows Yin Qingfeng back to his mansion, he will be a visitor to Yin Qingfeng or the Duke of Yun's mansion.

Confucius, the "Supreme Master", always showed his guests before he reached the present. He did not hide the anxiety of being anxious when he was "no king for three days", and even traveled around the country and was ridiculed as a dog of a broken family.

Chen She launched an army in the name of Prince Fusu and Xiang Yan, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bang raised the banner of King Huai of Chu. They consciously placed themselves in the position of the guest seat, only seeking a legitimate reputation.

Although there are also guests who turn to the guest when they are full of wings and seize the highest power. For example, Li Yuan, the guest of Chu Prince Chunshenjun, is a successful example of using conspiracy to turn to the guest. But most people, like him, just want to seek wealth, honor, and build immortal achievements.

But is Yin Qingfeng the wise master?

The system of disciples has undergone considerable changes since the Spring and Autumn Period. People like Feng Xi who are willing to be loyal to Mengchangjun throughout their life have long disappeared. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the leader of disciples is only a turning point for disciples to enter the officialdom. They only want to have a chance to enter the officialdom quickly.

From this point of view, Yin Qingfeng can indeed do it.

But will Yin Qingfeng become the public enemy of all the gentry in the world by using business and bad faith? Once all the gentry bondages him in the court during his career, his career as a "formerly" Yin clan disciple will be bleak.

He regretted that he did not leave in time after he came rashly, otherwise he would not have had such a dilemma.

There is also Lu Cai. Since Lu Cai listened to Yin Qingfeng's math course, he has been studying those paths all the time. Don't he know that only Confucianism is the right path?

If he chose to leave now, it would be nothing if he had been unfamiliar with Lu Cai from now on, but how could he pass Yin Qingfeng pass? The prince was destined to ascend the throne, and the King of Zhongshan studied with Yin Qingfeng. The consequences of his choice to leave may be only one: he has no chance of becoming a career in the officialdom.

He has to break up his career in his career? Impossible! The family of the Qinghe Ma family still needs to be supported by him!

He wanted to ask Yin Qingfeng what was going on, asking him if he was afraid that the gentry would rise up and attack them after they woke up from Yin Qingfeng as a merchant and abusing scholars. However, it was difficult for Yin Qingfeng to see him after he came back from the Eastern Palace, and even if he met, he would pass by.

With such distress, he followed Yin Qingfeng back to the city.

After seeing the Weishui Bridge, he was already impressed by Yin Qingfeng's achievements in creation. The west courtyard of the Duke of Yun State Mansion did not cause him any more troubles. He was just curious about what position Yin Qingfeng, the concubine's son, was in the Duke of Guo's Mansion.

In theory, the etiquette system of the division between legitimate and illegitimate has been determined for thousands of years, and there is no need to say much about the status of the concubine's son, but Yin Qingfeng, the concubine's son, is very strange.

When he was in a villa before, he sat in the main seat and his mother sat in the guest seat. On the day of his return, the Duke of Yun welcomed Yin Qingfeng with the ritual of the closest relatives and elders. All of this shows his unusual status in the family, but why is this the first time this year he participated in the ancestor worship? Could it be that... the change in his status in the clan changed in this year? What before?

While Ma Zhou was thinking about it, the activity of worshiping ancestors had ended. As a ritual observer, he was also invited to attend the feast after worshiping ancestors.

Because Lu Cai had not yet reached the championship, he was not qualified to watch the ceremony. Perhaps Yin Yuan made an exception to let him watch the ceremony considering that he was Yin Qingfeng's friend.

If a family invites people to watch the ceremony when worshiping ancestors, they want to publicize the glorious past of the family, the current family style, the achievements of the children, etc. through the mouth of the person who watches the ceremony. Therefore, the owner must pay the respects to the person who watch the ceremony.

Lu Cai is a person who doesn't care about external affairs. He doesn't care about the gifts piled up half a room at all. What he is more interested in is that Ma Zhou is telling the history of Yin.

After the banquet, he and Ma Zhou returned to the west courtyard with Yin Qingfeng. During the chat, Ma Zhou mentioned a secret.

At that time, Ma Zhou asked Yin Qingfeng why the Yin family's genealogy only went back to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. With the origin of the Yin family, Yin Qingfeng's current genealogy should not be the 14th generation, but at least about 130 generations.

Yin Qingfeng didn't know much about his "life experience". The reason why he knows it now is because of Xu Jingzong's narration with the uncle butler when worshiping ancestors, otherwise he would have known Yin Kaishan.

Ma Zhou said: "Before the Qin and Han dynasties, the reason why the Yin family had no genealogy was published was because the Yin family was suppressed for more than a thousand years after Emperor Xin lost his country until the Qin and Han dynasties."

Yin Qingfeng stared at Ma Zhou blankly, while Lu Cai sat next to him with his eyes wide open.

Ma Zhou continued: "Because of the long time of the Xia Dynasty, not only is the imperial lineage difficult to verify, but the surname has not yet formed its current form in the Xia Dynasty. It is probably not even known who is the descendant of Xia Qi. But the Shang Dynasty is different.

The Shang Dynasty not only had a complete imperial lineage, but also had a completely certain surname. In order to prevent the descendants of the Yin clan from seizing the royal power of Ji Zhou, the Zhou royal family not only suppressed the Yin clan through their own power, but also secretly allowed the princes who had been granted the feudal suppression of the descendants of the Yin clan.

Faced with such a situation, no one knew whether there were tribes who survived in the world, until the time of Emperor Han Cheng.

During the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, the emperor had no heirs for a long time and was eager to seek a child. He thought it was the Five Emperors, Xia and Zhou dysfunction, but the Yin people Cheng Tang cut off the incense. Therefore, he "issued to seek descendants of Yin" and sent people to look for the direct descendants of the last Yin Shang royal family.

After investigation, it was learned that the descendants of Yin had "dispersed into more than ten surnames, and they were not allowed to seek their legitimate surnames." Therefore, in the first year of Suihe, he issued an edict to confer the title of Confucius' 14th successor, Kong Ji, as the Marquis of Yin Shaojia, and soon he was granted the title of Duke of Yin Shaojia.

Therefore, the existing Yin clan members are actually descendants of Kong Ji.”

"Watt! Is my descendant of Kong Laoer?"

Yin Qingfeng almost exploded!

He is constantly weakening the status of Confucianism here, but he is the descendant of Confucius. This joke...is a bit big~~~

He looked at Ma Zhou carefully, but Ma Zhou showed no sign of joking. He asked in a suspicious tone: "I wonder... Brother Bin Wang's words have a root cause?"

Ma Zhou said, "My dear, please know how to dance on your palm."

Yin Qingfeng nodded, and of course Zhao Feiyan was straight.

Zhao Feiyan was born into a civilian family and was poor. She was selected to be a palace maid and learned dancing at Princess Yang's place. She was named "Feiyan" because her dance posture was as light as a swallow and flying phoenix. Later, she became the second empress of Emperor Cheng of Han Liu Ao. Emperor Ai of Han died and was demoted to Empress Xiaocheng. More than a month later, she was demoted to a commoner and issued an edict to guard the cemetery. Zhao Feiyan committed suicide on the same day.

Ma Zhou said: "Emperor Cheng of Han had two empresses, one was Empress Xu from Gaoyang Xu family, and the other was Zhao Feiyan. In addition to these two empresses, Emperor Cheng of Han had many concubines.

Zhou's family ancestor was General Fu Bo in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The two aunts who assisted the ancestors entered the palace one after another to be the concubines of Emperor Cheng of Han. Therefore, Zhou obtained the secrets of the Yin family from the clan to record them."

Yin Qingfeng looked at Ma Zhou in surprise.

There is no need for Ma Zhou to slander other people's ancestors, that is, his words are true. Then... do the Yin clan members know this?

The ancients said: Since ancient times, Confucius and Mencius have been a family, but it turns out that Kong Yin is also a family~~~ This joke makes me feel like it~~~

Ma Zhou's conversation seemed to be unable to stop, and he said: "No matter how many families of the gentry now claim that their families are, if you look closely at their genealogy, you will know that if you really think about it, there were at least errata in those genealogy before the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, with the widespread existence of aristocratic families and the establishment of the aristocratic system, it became a trend to compile genealogies, and the private genealogy has entered the national genealogy. Due to political needs, the court established a special official office to collect and manage genealogy. Officials were selected based on book form and genealogy.

Moreover, since the Southern Dynasties, officials have books and family members have genealogy. The election of officials must be due to books and family members' marriages must be due to genealogy. There have been maps and bureaucrats in history, and they have set up men and women to take charge of them. They still use Confucians who are well-versed in ancient and modern times to write genealogy.

Anyone who has family status in all officials and clans has a family status, then the officials will be more detailed. They will be kept in secret halls and the deputy is in the left household. If there are excessive private books, they will be corrected to be official books. If the official books are not enough, they will be recorded as private books.

Even so, the genealogy of various gentry at that time was not completely credible. The behavior of climbing the dragon and attaching to the phoenix when the genealogy of various aristocratic families was already common.

After the establishment of the aristocratic system, the gentry enjoyed a high reputation in society. If the common people want to enjoy this privilege and reputation, it is a practical and effective means to tamper with the family tree to join the ranks of the clan.

Someone commented: "It is also close to the ancient ethics, and I like to be a member of the sect. The cold family of the country has been unknown for generations, but the venerable horns are still alive. Once you get rich, you will all follow the original system and inherit the sages." "The private texts come from the streets and all of them are self-speaking, and the family is self-speaking, and the matter is not a classic. If you lead the sages and implicate them, you will have nothing to gain trust, would you rather have enough to maintain them?"

From this we can see that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, genealogy fraud was already relatively common.

Although the northern dynasties did not implement the strict nine-rank central system like the Southern dynasties, in order to demonstrate the family's prominence, they not only improved the existing known genealogy, but also followed their ancestors. Whether there are any errors in this is known by their own family.

However, Zhou thought that the Yin clan had entered the first-class gentry since Yin Hao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the genealogy passed down from that time was completely credible."

After the initial shock, Yin Qingfeng has now returned to calm.

He used to think that he had no common language with people of this era, but after communicating with Xu Jingzong and Ma Zhou and others, he found that some history was told through people of this era that might be closer to history.
