Chapter Three: The Zheng Family of the Aristocracy (Part One)
Using bronze as a mirror, one can correct one's attire and cap; using others as a mirror, one can discern gains and losses; using history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall of states
It is said that the ancestors of the Zheng family can be traced back to the Ji surname, and they were granted a fief in Zheng, hence the name.
This is not only about possessing extraordinary abilities and a keen sense of timing, but also about the tranquility cultivated over forty years. He does not rejoice in material gains nor mourn personal losses. As the saying goes, to strive is not to strive, and not to strive is to strive; Li Jianguo has deeply grasped this essence. While excelling in his professional duties, he enjoys reading, having thoroughly internalized the "Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government".
Just then, Xu's mother also looked over. He hesitated for a moment, then immediately spoke up, crying out loudly.
However, he did not sleep for too long; in a daze, he heard someone speaking in low tones
As she spoke, Xu Ma loosened her garments, revealing her white, tender, and swollen breasts, and pressed them into Li Jianguo's mouth
Li Jianguo still thought that the baby was Xu Ma's child. However, from the tone of voice, it seemed otherwise. He wasn't too hungry, so he immediately closed his mouth. Xu Ma set Li Jianguo down, reached out to pick up the baby, gently rocking him while breastfeeding, and humming an unknown tune, likely a lullaby or something similar.
Li Jianguo is generally in this situation
The "Your Majesty" mentioned by Ning Changzhen must refer to Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian
Zheng Dashi and his party's vehicles stayed at Fenshuiguan for two days
It is known that after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, there were countless renowned ministers and generals, and Emperor Wen of Sui was relatively enlightened in the early days. The fact that He Ruobi could be described as unparalleled in his abilities is evident from this. Did He Ruobi act at the behest of Yang Jian?
The ancient history is difficult to verify. However, the Zheng family of Xingyang rose to prominence during the Eastern Han Dynasty, producing numerous talents. Among the most notable are the master of classical studies Zheng Xuan and Zheng Ji, the Marquis of Anyuan, who expanded the territory of the Eastern Han and served as the Grand Protector of the Western Regions.
For 40-year-old Li Jianguo, it is truly a sense of helplessness

Duo Duo crawled onto Xu Ma's lap and murmured, "Mother, I want to be small."
The abandoned child of the wilderness, referring specifically to Li Jianguo. When Li Jianguo came to his senses, he saw Duoduo lifting her garment and pulling out a gleaming, shiny dagger from beneath her, her eyes filled with murderous intent, which was quite frightening
Li Jianguo was taken aback
Li Jianguo initially did not pay much attention to the conversation between Xu Ma and her daughter Duoduo, but was instead contemplating his own future
After experiencing the calamity of the Five Barbarians' chaos, the Zheng family was divided into two branches: the Southern and Northern sects. The Northern sect established its ancestral seat in Xingyang. The term "ancestral seat" also serves as a representation of identity, similar to how people in later generations introduce themselves by stating their place of origin. The Zheng family of Xingyang had seven branches after the Northern Dynasties, namely: Bailin, Xiaobai, Shuye, Donglin, Guizang, Lianshan, and Youlin (Zheng Youlin, also known as Zheng Xi). Zheng Dashi belongs to the descendants of the Lianshan branch. The Zheng family of Xingyang had seven branches after the Northern Dynasties, namely: Bailin, Xiaobai, Shuye, Donglin, Guizang, Lianshan, and Youlin (Zheng Youlin, also known as Zheng Xi). Zheng Dashi belongs to the descendants of the Lianshan branch.
Mother, Duoduo will definitely not be lazy
Sishuiguan, also known as Chenggao. However, it has another name that is more familiar to many people, which is: Hulaoguan
After guessing the era of his rebirth on https://m.hetushu.com, Li Jianguo's head buzzed incessantly, and he felt extremely fatigued
Some say that a newborn baby is not much different from a piglet... they eat until they are full and then sleep, waking up only to eat again
When history is divided by time, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, as well as the Sui and Tang periods, are habitually referred to as the Middle Ages
After deducing some clues from Zheng Dash's words, Li Jianguo felt quite exhausted
Many of his colleagues from back then fought for their own interests, only to end up with their reputations in tatters, while he stood firm and, at the age of forty, became a deputy mayor, a testament to his promising future. ... But who could have imagined that just as he was riding high on his success, he would encounter such a bizarre situation ... . ... Upon waking from a deep sleep, the entire world had changed, leaving him even more anxious.
According to legend, King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty once kept the fierce tigers presented by the feudal lords in this place, which is why it is called "Tiger Prison." Tiger Prison Pass connects the Song Mountain to the south and the Yellow River to the north, with intersecting mountain ranges, making it a strategic location linking Hebei and Luozhou.
The one speaking should be the little girl named Duoduo
Historically, there indeed was a person named He Ruobi, who was a founding elder of the Sui Dynasty and a key minister under Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian. The "Comprehensive Mirror in Aid of Governance" cites the remarks of Gao Ying, the Prime Minister of the Sui Dynasty: "Among the court officials, in terms of literary and martial talents, none surpasses He Ruobi." This means that among all the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty, no one exceeded He Ruobi in capability
Once the storm has settled, Chief Steward Ha will come to find us. But until then, you must not slack off, otherwise Chief Steward Ha will surely be very disappointed
Yet I do not know which 'Li' I am, after all
Duo Duo, do not act recklessly, why haven't you put away the green beads yet
It seems that after falling asleep, I was sent back to Xu Ma's side. It appears that Zheng Dashi intends to take me away.

Xu Ma hurriedly picked up Li Jianguo and said softly, "This child is indeed unfortunate... Besides, what can a little child understand? It must be that he is hungry."
Li Jianguo secretly gasped, wondering if after his rebirth, he was destined to become a member of the Zheng family
When Li Jianguo was reborn, he could be considered successful in his career
If he could be taken away, what should be done in case Yan Hu returns to look for him
Today, Xingyang is merely an ancient town known as Guxing Town in later generations. However, the Zheng family of Xingyang and Li Jianguo have long been renowned.
Li Jianguo was deep in thought when he suddenly heard Duoduo say: "Mother, quickly look, the abandoned child has woken up!"
The saying "there are no noble families among the lower classes, and no commoners among the upper classes" generally refers to this situation. The aristocracy monopolizes the bureaucracy and, through intermarriage, forms a ruling class. The Zheng family of Xingyang is an important member of this ruling class
During the Sui Dynasty, the most renowned member of the Zheng family was Zheng Yi, who assisted Yang Jian in usurping the Zhou Dynasty
Mother, will Grandfather Ha come to find us
Then who would my biological father be after my rebirth? It probably wouldn't be too simple, considering that Yang Jian has sent people to hunt me down
In just one night, two feedings occurred.
Regardless of the purpose behind Zheng Yi's actions, he has indeed contributed significantly, thus achieving great prosperity and becoming the legitimate heir of the Zheng family
Moreover, he is surrounded by so many capable individuals, such as He Ruobi and others, who will not pose any difficulty for him
Especially after the implementation of the Nine Ranks System, the selection of officials focused solely on family background and reputation
When Zheng Shi'an took him from Zheng Dashi's hands, he was in a state of confusion and even failed to clearly hear the words that Zheng Dashi later spoke. In a daze, Li Jianguo, after his rebirth, entered the dream for the second time. Before falling asleep, he vaguely recalled some matters, but they were too hazy for him to grasp.
It is precisely for this reason that Li Jianguo has roughly understood the background of the Zheng Dashi family. As it turns out, Zheng Dashi's lineage is quite significant, being one of the seven legitimate branches of the Zheng family from Xingyang. The Zheng family of Xingyang? Zheng Dashi is actually from the Zheng family of Xingyang? Li Jianguo was quite surprised, as the present-day Xingyang is under his administration
However, Xu Ma's response caught his attention
Xu Ma's face turned pale, and she remained silent, but Li Jianguo caught a glimpse of sorrow in the corner of her eye
Before Duoduo could finish speaking, someone outside the car window asked, "Xu Ma, has the young master woken up?"
Duoduo, you must remember, once we arrive in Xingyang, do not mention our past matters, and absolutely do not speak of Manager Ha.
If you are hungry, I will take care of it right away
This mother and daughter are undoubtedly people with a story

The convoy continued to advance, the road was not smooth, and there were some bumps
Mother, www.hetushu.com. He has also awakened
The system of aristocratic families emerged during the Eastern Han period and flourished during the Two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties. Since the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han, Confucianism has been esteemed by society, and many officials rose to prominence through their mastery of the classics. They taught and lectured, and their disciples and former officials spread throughout the land, forming a significant social force
In the medieval period, in addition to countless wars, there was also the notable system of aristocratic clans
If it is said that he possesses the maturity of a forty-year-old in spirit, his physical capabilities, however, are ultimately still those of an infant
Certainly, the Xinyang of later generations is different from the Xinyang of this time
Mother, Duoduo noted that... Duoduo is just worried about Grandpa Ha and them...
As for Chief Steward Ha, there is no need for us to worry for the time being. He possesses exceptional martial skills and has nearly reached the realm of a grandmaster, making it difficult for anyone to stop him
This is a very interesting title
Without any background, yet advancing smoothly in the official career
She put away the dagger and was about to speak when another baby in the carriage, awakened by Li Jianguo's cries, also began to cry
With this sense of detachment, Li Jianguo forged ahead, overcoming numerous obstacles along the way
However, what truly astonished Li Jianguo was the name 'He Ruobi'
This little girl wants to kill me
If that is the case, the background of Xu Ma and her daughter is likely even more complicated
Li Jianguo felt a sudden jolt in his heart: one truly cannot judge a person by their appearance... He never expected that within this small convoy, there were hidden talents and extraordinary individuals.
