As the saying goes, "A dragon gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will make a hole", which is a slightly joking proverb that shows the influence of genetic genes on a person's growth, but some people ignore the importance of the environment. For example, Guo Ziyi in the Tang Dynasty is a well-known hero, but his descendants are not necessarily, and there are even three descendants that we don't know how to evaluate, who are they? If you also want to know, let Xiaobian reveal it to you.

Guo Ziyi was a native of Huaxian County, Shaanxi Province, who was born into a family of official eunuchs, and whose father, Guo Jingzhi, served as the Assassin of the Four Prefectures, so the Guo clan was also considered a well-known and prestigious family in the local area. In the early years, Guo Ziyi participated in the Wuke Examination, so he entered the Career Officer to jiuyuan taishou. However, Guo Ziyi was never reused in the first half of his life, until the Outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Guo Ziyi achieved a "turning point" in his life, and at this time he was 58 years old. In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), Guo Ziyi was ordered to attack An Lushan in danger, so the victory of the first battle greatly encouraged Tang Xuanzong, and later Guo Ziyi made many meritorious contributions, and also recovered Hebei, the eastern capital Luoyang and Chang'an. In the first year of Guangde (763 AD), Tubo and Hui invaded Chang'an, and Guo Ziyi was activated again, and finally successfully repelled the enemy army, restoring peace and stability to Chang'an City and the entire Guanzhong region. It can be seen that Guo Ziyi made many achievements in his later years, making him famous in history.
There is no doubt that Guo Ziyi was a great hero of the Tang Dynasty, and what about his descendants? According to historical records, Guo Ziyi had eight sons and eight daughters, but not all of them were great heroes. Among Guo Ziyi's sons, there are only the eldest son Guo Yao, the third son Guo Xi and the sixth son Guo Huan are the most famous in history and also have meritorious achievements, while the other five sons are not recorded much in the historical data, so the speculation is also very "popular". However, Guo Ziyi's eight daughters are all married well, and they can be said to be the right door, so they are also blessed. After research, experts have determined that Guo Ziyi's descendants, Ding Xingwang, can see the figure of Guo Ziyi's descendants in all dynasties and dynasties, but there are also three descendants that make our modern people feel very embarrassed and do not know how to evaluate them.
First place: Guo Baoyu.
Guo Baoyu was a descendant of Guo Ziyi, but he joined the Mongol army and became a general under Genghis Khan. According to historical records, Guo Baoyu was proficient in the art of war, and he was also very good at riding and shooting kung fu, and was once the Duke of Fenyang County (official position) of the Jin Dynasty, and later Genghis Khan destroyed Jin, and Guo Baoyu surrendered to Genghis Khan's Mongol army after his defeat, and was also reused by Genghis Khan. Guo Ziyi later followed Genghis Khan's army on expeditions, all the way to the western region and the Middle East, and even to Europe, so he also made great achievements for Genghis Khan, and also played a major role in the war against the Song Dynasty. For Guo Baoyu, he was a great hero in the minds of the Mongols, but in the minds of the Song Dynasty, it was the opposite, what do you say we should evaluate?
Second place: Guo Songtao.
Guo Songtao is not only a descendant of Guo Ziyi, he also has a special status, that is, the first ambassador to foreign countries in the history of the Republic of China. During the Light Years of the Qing Dynasty, Guo Songtao and the First, and later became one of Zeng Guofan's staff, so he was also one of the founders of Zeng Guofan's Xiang Army. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the Western Affairs Movement was vigorous, and Guo Songtao was one of the representatives of the WesternErvision School, but his proposition was to learn from Western culture and systems. In December of the second year of Guangxu (1876 AD), Guo Songtao was ordered to go to England to serve as the Chinese ambassador to London, during which he deeply examined the political, legal and economic systems of Britain, and wrote a large number of written manuscripts and sent them back to China, providing new ideas for the reform of various systems in the Qing court. However, some of Guo Songtao's behaviors have also been accused of being "sublime and charming", and even some people say that he has forgotten his ancestors, and all kinds of insults have surged for a while, which is overwhelming.
Third place: Guo Songling.
Guo Songling was a figure from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, he was born in northeast China, but he did not have much of Guo Ziyi's aura on him. In the early years, Guo Songling also joined the Revolutionary Army of the League, and was deeply influenced by Mr. Zhongshan's ideas and made many military achievements. After the complete collapse of the Qing court, Guo Songling returned to the northeast region to join the Feng army, and was deeply appreciated by Zhang Zuolin because of his youth and talent. In the Second Zhifeng War, Guo Songling and Zhang Zuolin had a serious conflict, so the famous "defection and anti-Feng" incident broke out, resulting in Zhang Zuolin shooting Guo Songling and his wife Han Shuxiu. In the era of warlord chaos in the Republic of China, there were many people like Guo Songling, who became victims of the times, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.
Nowadays, we are out of the background of the times, and it is difficult to evaluate the rights and wrongs of the ancients, so let's leave the answer to history. For Guo Ziyi, although his descendants are prosperous, there is no guarantee that every descendant can become a hero and a great man, but most of them are people who are useful to society, and this is enough.
