115 Entering the Genealogy? (2 in 1)(2/2)

Entering the genealogy! Today, Duke Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong wants to say to Chen Yichen!

After Xie Yuan in high school, Chen Yichen's reputation will become increasingly greater, and his identity as a maid will be well-known to everyone.

Although there was no discrimination against maids and sons in ancient times, if they were not included in the genealogy and did not have the status of father and son, it would mean that the title of illegitimate child could not be removed.

In the long run, it was not a good thing for Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Yong, or Chen Yichen.

To put it bluntly, it can even affect the reputation of the scholar-official class.

So this time, Chen Yichen was not included in the genealogy, but Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, made a decision directly for him.

Even as Zhu Yong thought, Chen Yichen and his mother Shen have been thinking about over the years, isn’t it just to enter the genealogy to obtain identity?

In the past, the mother and son did not dare to mention it, but today their actions have made them get what they want.

Duke Cheng Guo was right. Over the past decade, Chen Yichen and his son have really been thinking about it. He wanted to get Zhu Yong's recognition, formally change his surname and return to his ancestors, and include his name in the genealogy.

Even now, his mother, Shen, still has this idea and longs for her son to be recognized by her husband.

But Chen Yichen is no longer the naughty waste he used to be.

So when Chen Yichen heard Duke Cheng's words, he was first shocked and surprised. After coming to his senses, a hint of ridicule appeared on his face.

Father, is it still a gift and charity to you now in your opinion?

Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, thought Chen Yichen would agree with gratitude, but after waiting for a long time, the other party did not move except for the deep smile on his face.

"Why don't you speak?"

"What are you saying, thank you for your kindness?"

Hearing this sentence, the faint smile on Zhu Yong's face faded, and he already understood Chen Yichen's answer.

"Chen Yichen, do you really think that you can be presumptuous in front of me with your attention?"

The extremely cold tone was even full of threat, and I couldn't feel that this was a conversation between father and son.

If so, I'm afraid only the royal father and son would do this.

"Don't dare."

When Chen Yichen said this, he raised his head and looked straight into Zhu Yong's eyes, expressing his attitude with his actions.

I, Chen Yichen, is definitely not a thread-keeping puppet under the plaque of Duke Cheng’s Mansion. I will come and wield it as soon as I move it!

"Hmph, don't you dare?"

"Don't think that if you win a mere Jie Yuan, you just think that you have a hard wing. Without the blessing of the clan of the Xuqi clan, do you really think that so many people will look up to you?"

I have to say that the words of Duke Cheng Guo are the truth. Even though the identity of a maid son has brought a lot of ridicule and humiliation to Chen Yichen since he was a child, it also paved many roads and bumps for him.

At least, no matter whether it is the honorary or the minister, as long as you learn about the blood of Duke Cheng in Chen Yichen, you will treat each other differently. This is an indisputable fact and cannot be completely denied.

But unfortunately, Zhu Yong said this too late, and Chen Yichen's wings are indeed a little hard now.

"Mr., even if I don't have the identity of the clan of the honorary clan, I can still walk out of the way myself."

If you don’t enter the genealogy and enter the official position as an illegitimate child, you will indeed suffer a lot of criticism and negative impact.

But many things in this world are not absolute. Take the Confucian sage Confucius as an example. The Records of the Grand Historian clearly state that "He and Yan's daughter were born with Confucius in a wild marriage", which means that Confucius was born with a wild marriage and did not conform to the marriage etiquette and law and standards.

The pre-Qin period was too far away. In fact, there was a better example in the Ming Dynasty, which was Shen Shixing, who replaced Zhang Juzheng as the chief minister of the cabinet during the Wanli period.

Shen Shixing was also an illegitimate son and was adopted by Suzhou magistrate Xu Shangzhen. Xu Shangzhen's father was with his mother's surname and was in his uncle's family. Therefore, Shen Shixing was also considered as Xu's surname in his uncle's family. After winning the top scorer, he changed his surname to Guizong.

Chen Yichen followed his mother's surname, which is easy to understand in a modern way. In fact, in ancient times, the accurate description is that Chen Yichen followed his mother's surname, which is the correct statement.

However, Cheng Guogong was powerful, and after all, he was a father's clan, so he thought that he would recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors in the future, so his family worshipped the tablets of the Zhu family's ancestors. Otherwise, if you strictly follow the etiquette and law, you would have to worship the tablets of the Shen family's ancestors before you change your surname and return to your ancestors.

Of course, after Shen Shixing finally won the top scorer, he still recognized his ancestors and changed his surname. But that was because Shen Shixing did not withstand the pressure from the outside world and chose to follow the ancient etiquette and law, while Chen Yichen was unwilling to surrender!

"Okay, okay, okay! I haven't noticed before, so you Chen Yichen is so ambitious."

Chen Yichen's attitude today really subverted Duke Cheng's usual concept. He never thought that this maid would have the intention of not being included in the genealogy.

If Chen Yichen had no surname Zhu, then the so-called "all prosper" and "all prosper" would be a joke.

The only thing that has not changed is only one loss left!

After a surge of anger, Zhu Yong took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions and said, "Chen Yichen, this opportunity is only once. If you refuse today, you will never get the support of the Duke Chenggong Mansion in the future."

Although Chen Yichen understands that Yuan means a promising future, it is not enough to let Duke Cheng lose face and ask him to enter the genealogy.

Even if Chen Yichen is at the peak of civil officials in the future, he will be nothing more than a top honorary relative like Duke Cheng!

When Chen Yichen heard the slightly threatening force in Zhu Yong's mouth again, he couldn't help but shake his head, his expression full of mockery.

"Father, for you, is there only the exchange of interests left for you?"

This was the second time Chen Yichen publicly called Zhu Yong a father. After that, he turned around and left without waiting for Duke Cheng’s answer and permission.
