Season of Han Dynasty

The traitors of the Han Dynasty are not at odds with each other, and the king's industry is not peaceful. I, Ji Han, are so strong.

Ahhhh, I am a hard-working writer. Please give me a star for the web version. That one star is so dazzling 😭

Although eunuchs are cruel, they are also a means for the royal family to maintain dignity and blood. It would be difficult to make eunuchs normal. Think about the fact that the emperor of a country is not of royal blood but is the private blood of servants and concubines. The former emperor was cuckolded, let alone the ancients, and we modern people cannot accept it. It is reasonable for thousands of years to know that castration is cruel and not abolish it. The above is the first reason. The second is that if you say you are of royal blood, other countries will say that you may be a private blood, and the country will be in turmoil. Foreign countries will laugh at it. Even the most open Tang Dynasty in our country did not abolish it but instead reduced eunuchs and used female officials to enrich and manage the harem. Therefore, there is a lot of reason why it has not been abolished for thousands of years. Moreover, although castration is cruel, it is usually carried out voluntarily by people who can't live anymore. Those who repeatedly ask if they are willing and those who are convicted are executed. The author abolished it because of the difficulty and what will happen to the royal harem in the future? The harem originally had a lot of women, so it was impossible for a large number of men to serve and manage it! We can only strengthen the supervision of castration and reduce the use of supplementary management by female officials in the Tang Dynasty.

Regarding the issue of Liu Bei becoming a marquis, I think you can't choose the title casually, you need to be more cautious. As we all know, the origin of Liu Bei is very clear in the Records of the Three Kingdoms. After Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan (son of Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty), Liu Sheng's son Liu Zhen, Marquis of Luchengting, passed down the lineage of the Liu family in Zhuoxian County, but the lineage was The genealogy is clear, but the bloodline is not particularly clear, because the dianluo clearly mentions that Beiben belongs to Linyi Hou Zhi, that is, Liu Bei is the second son of Liu Xing, King Jing of Beihai (nephew of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu), and after Linyi Hou Liu Fu. The word "Ben" is used well. They were originally the descendants of Linyi Marquis Liu Fu, but in the end they were given to the lineage of Lucheng Tinghou Liu Zhen. This obviously involves the succession of the same clan. Because Liu Zhen's line in Zhuoxian County has died out, it is natural for him to choose a concubine (or young son) from Liu Fu's lineage of the same clan to inherit. The most accurate record of Liu Bei's branch can be found in his grandfather Liu Xiong, the commander of Fanling in Dongjun. If calculated based on his age, Liu Xiong's father was probably the son of the second-generation Linyi Marquis Liu Fanjun. Therefore, Liu Bei's branch was probably adopted by the Liu family in Zhuoxian County in his great-grandfather's generation. Then I think it is best for Liu Bei not to create a new title, but to choose one of the Marquis of Lucheng and the Marquis of Linyi to inherit. This will also clarify Liu Bei's pedigree and status in the clan to the world. Moreover, it is not only the issue of the title, but also the future king title. In the 11th year of Jian'an, When King Kang of Beihai died and the country was eliminated, if Liu Bei was the Marquis of Linyi, he would be qualified to succeed the King of Beihai. There is no clear record of the time when the Zhongshan Kingdom was eliminated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it should have been eliminated before the eleventh year of Jian'an. If Liu Bei was the Marquis of Lucheng, there should be no serious problems in succeeding the King of Zhongshan. For someone like Liu Bei, who was born in a clan, it is best not to create a new marquis. Although it is a personal talent to be a marquis based on merit, using a successor can better show the status of the clan and shine on the lintel. After all, Liu Bei must make it clear that he is a member of the Han Dynasty, not a new dynasty. Succession to the title of his ancestors also symbolizes his orthodox status.
