Subverted This is the Emperor Chat Group

"Sometimes you have to pretend to understand. Doesn't it look like you're as stupid as a donkey when you say it so bluntly?"

"Look at the smart people in the group, the one who raised this question just like you?"

…………

Zhu Di wiped a cold sweat at the moment, fortunately I didn't ask, otherwise it would appear that I am as stupid as Li Longji!

On the other hand, Li Longji had an ugly face. This Chen Tong's fighting power is extraordinary, so he must be careful this time.

Li Sanlang, Lord of the Palace of Longevity:

"I don't want to talk about Ban Gu with you. Since everyone thinks that Ban Gu is wrong, Liu Bang shouldn't be from a noble family."

"Then, doesn't this prove that Sima Qian is right?"

"Chen Tong, aren't you slapping yourself in the face?"

(.) Overturned, this is the emperor chat group

Chapter 523 535. Liu Bang's family is very powerful (for subscription)

In the chat group, the emperors from all parallel time and space held their breaths at this moment, wanting to see how Chen Tong would explain "Historical Records".

Ban Gu's Han Shu created a brilliant genealogy for the Liu Bang family, although it was widely known in the Han Dynasty.

However, with the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the direction of public opinion gradually changed, and people believed more in the history of the old Liu family told by Ma Qian of the Taishi Company.

Liu Bang is a poor ghost.

Chen Tong shook his head, his eyes full of firmness, he just wanted to subvert people's understanding of Liu Bang.

Liu Bang is a commoner?

Ha ha..

Chen Tong:

"As for Liu Bang's life experience, Ban Gu gave a glorious family.

But Sima Qian was just the opposite. He believed that Liu Bang was a poor man with no education and skills and a humble background.

Then let's analyze it carefully. Is Sima Qian's view right or wrong?

First of all, let's determine whether Liu Bang is the bottom of society?

Judging from the name, Liu Bang is not!

Liu Bang first of all he has a surname.

And the surname Liu is not a small surname.

Just like the brilliant family tree that Ban Gu listed for Liu Bang, the surname Liu was originally a common surname for him.

Although the inheritance is in Liu Bang's generation and Liu Bang's family has declined, Liu Bang is definitely not the bottom of this society.

People without surnames are at the bottom of society.

Because people without a surname used to be slaves, or they just got out of slavery, so from the analysis of surnames, Liu Bang is not at the bottom of society.

in the middle class of society.

It is insufficient compared to the top, and more than the bottom. In today's words, it should belong to the middle class. "

........................

Li Longji snorted coldly.

Li Sanlang, Lord of the Palace of Longevity:

"The surname, although it can indicate the identity, but it is normal for many people to give themselves a surname casually."

"You can't have a registered permanent residence, and you still need to show your family tree to prove that you have a surname, right?"

"This reason is too far-fetched."

…………

The other emperors also nodded slightly. Although the surname can represent many things, it is not so absolute.

Because the ancients changed their surnames, it is really normal.

Chen Tong didn't bother with this. As an excellent troll, he had nothing to say to the one he had to hate.

Chen Tong:

"Of course a surname can't explain the problem, but what if Liu Bang becomes an official?

Liu Bang is the head of the pavilion in Surabaya.

The head of the pavilion at that time was just like the mayor of the town.

In the whole society, that belongs to the highest level among scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce.

And the reason why Liu Bang was able to be an official is because Liu Bang's family is very powerful!

It must have great fame and influence in the local area.

Only in this way can Liu Bang become the head of the pavilion in Surabaya. "

………………

Li Longji almost died laughing, where is this going?

Liu Bang is a pavilion chief, does it mean that Liu Bang's family is very powerful?

This logic is broken.

Li Sanlang, Lord of the Palace of Longevity:

"Being an official means that Liu Bang's family is very powerful?"

"I don't see how that can be deduced?"

………………

Cao Cao and the others also frowned and pondered, they were also thinking.

How did Chen Tong rely on a simple clue to deduce that Liu Bang's family has a reputation in Pei County?

friend of wife

"Your logic is a bit convoluted!"

"Can you explain it a little bit more clearly?"

.................

Chen Tong did not hesitate, and immediately typed quickly.

Chen Tong:

"You can tell by simply using the process of elimination.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there were only three situations in which people could become officials.

First, make meritorious service and be appointed an official for meritorious service.

Second, with strong personal ability, he was admitted to public office and became an official in the Qin Dynasty system.

Third, the family is powerful. According to the ancient system of selecting officials, officials below the county level are all managed by very prestigious family members.

Then let's look at these 3 items. Which one does Liu Bang meet?

First of all, let's talk about meritorious service. Liu Bang is in the state of Chu, and the state of Chu is the enemy of Qin. In the process of Qin's destruction of Chu, it is impossible for Liu Bang's family to make contributions.

If they made contributions, it would be tantamount to betraying the state of Chu, and they would be rejected by the locals.

Xiao He and others will not become close friends with Liu Bang.

Moreover, Liu Bang himself often violated the Qin law, so he has no chance to make meritorious deeds, which is excluded.

Let’s talk about Article 2. If you have a strong personal ability, you will be admitted to an official, or you will be recommended to be an official because of your personal ability.

Liu Bang's reputation at that time was extremely poor, he was lazy and idle, like a complete hooligan.

How could such a person become an official because of his ability?

Xiao He cleaned up the mess for him all day long.

So, only number 3 is left!

The reason why Liu Bang was able to be the head of the pavilion in Surabaya was because Liu Bang's family was very prestigious in the local area.

Therefore, he was able to be the head of the Surabaya Pavilion to manage the affairs of the Surabaya Pavilion.

This is very in line with the social reality of the Qin Dynasty at that time.

The county officials appointed in the Qin Dynasty were the lowest at the county level. This was also a practice in the Yanhuang feudal dynasties, which was called unable to rule the county.

As for the officials below the county level, it is necessary to select local prestigious people to manage these villages and towns.

Therefore, based on the fact that Liu Bang became the head of the pavilion in Surabaya, combined with the situation of the Qin Dynasty at that time, we can infer that Liu Bang's family is actually deeply rooted in the local area and has a reputation.

Therefore, Liu Bang is definitely not a low-level man. On the contrary, he may also be a local wealthy squire.

It is well-known in the local area, and it is also a big family that keeps its word. "

…………

Zhu Di's eyes widened.

Execute Your Ten Clans (Hero Lord of the Prosperous Age):

"I'll go, why didn't I find out before? These are all details."

"Didn't the officials below the county level in ancient times all choose people with higher reputations?"

"For example, the old man in the Ming dynasty, the food chief, it all depends on the reputation."

"And Liu Bang, on the one hand, has not done any meritorious service, and on the other hand, his personal morality is poor. He certainly did not rely on his personal ability to get to the top, so he can only rely on the influence of his family."

………………

Wu Zetian nodded again and again.
