According to the "Epitaph of Qin Lijian", Qin Lijian was the grandson of the door god Qin Shubao. Qin Lijian's grandfather was Chi Baolin, the Duke of Eguo and Wei Weiqing. Wei Chi Baolin was the eldest son of The Gate God Lieutenant Chi Jingde, who inherited the dukedom of Eguo. Qin Li saw that he had the bloodlines of Qin Shubao and Wei Chi Jingde's two great Ling Yan Pavilion heroes, and his career should be a bright one, right?
Qin Li had seen all his life, and the biggest official was to be a small county clerk in Henan. In the official position of the Tang Dynasty, the county lieutenant was the smallest official, smaller than the county lieutenant, that is, the exile official, which is easy to understand, that is, it was so small that there was no grade. The county is one order older than the county lieutenant, and for ordinary people, it may not be small. For the descendants of the founding heroes, it is not in the flow.

For example, according to the New Book of Tang, Cheng Biting Jin's grandson Cheng Boxian, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, paid homage to the general Jin Wuwei. The Twelve Wei Generals were the highest military officials of the Tang Dynasty, and like the Chancellor and the Imperial Historian, they belonged directly to the Emperor, and their ranks were equal. Cheng Biting Jin's grandson was so powerful, why did qin qiong and Wei Chi Jingde's common descendants mix so badly?
This matter must be discussed from the two aspects of the large environment and the small environment. From the perspective of the general environment, the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, after experiencing the Wu Zetian period, basically fell into the middle of the road. Wu Zetian replaced the Tang Dynasty and established the Wuzhou Dynasty. Emperor Wu Zetian did not recognize the old accounts and adopted an attitude of exclusion toward the descendants of Ling Yange's heroes. Wu Zetian's attitude made the descendants of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty basically stay away from the court.

After Emperor Zhongzong of Tang revived the Tang Dynasty, Li Xianguang became aware of this problem. Li Xian issued an edict to find out the descendants of the founding heroes, and each family was canonized with a five-pin official. If there are descendants who are officials in the dynasty, they are all promoted to one rank. Judging from Li Xian's edict, the descendants of the founding heroes are generally mixed up.
From the perspective of the general environment, after Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian vigorously developed the imperial examination, in the period of Tang Zhongzong and Tang Xuanzong, the imperial examination was the career path for the scholars. The officials of the DPRK and China are all proud of their entry into the ranks. Officials who have entered the army are naturally inferior in front of the officials who have entered the military.
Qin Li saw the identity of the descendants of the heroes, if he was born in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty, he would definitely be very popular. Unfortunately, Qin Li saw that the time was not right, and when he encountered the rapid development of the imperial examination, it was inevitable that his career would not go well.

From the perspective of the small environment, Qin Lijian was also at a loss compared with Cheng Boxian. Although Qin Qiong was the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, he was not favored in the Zhenguan Dynasty. Qin Qiong did not actively help Li Shimin during the change of Xuanwu Gate, which made his career very unhappy. After Li Shimin became emperor, Qin Qiong stood aside. Coupled with Qin Qiong's early death, the grace he left to his descendants was really not much.
Wei Chi Jingde was old and high-lived, and was deeply respected by Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Wu Zetian. When Wei Chi Jingde died, Emperor Gaozong of Tang posthumously honored him as a Pin Situ and was the largest official of the Tang Dynasty. Xu Jingzong, Wu Zetian's confidante, also wrote an inscription for Wei Chi Jingde. Wei Chi Jingde mourned and solemnly, leaving a rich political legacy for his descendants.
Unfortunately, Wei Chi Jingde's eldest son, Wei Chi Baolin, is a bear child born with a father and not taught by his father. Wei Chi Jingde's wife was named Su Fei, and Su Fei was Wei Chi Baolin's mother-in-law. Su Fei gave birth to Wei Chi Baolin when Wei Chi Jingde was not found. Su Fei died of illness during the Sui Dynasty.

After Su Fei died of illness, Wei Chi Jingde joined the army. Wei Chi Baolin's father and mother were not around, and as a result, they became unsupervised bear children. After Wei Chi Jingde's death, Wei Chi Baolin inherited the dukedom of Eguo according to the system of primogeniture. Emperor Gaozong of Tang looked at Wei Chi Jingde's face and made Wei Chi Baolin the post of General of the Twelve Guards and Wei Wei Qing.
The Twelve Wei Generals were only one rank lower than the Twelve Wei Generals, and Wei Weiqing was one of the Nine Secretaries, only one rank lower than the Prime Minister. If Wei Chi Baolin was reliable, the position of the Twelve Wei Generals should be able to survive. At this time, Wei Chi Baolin did something that hurt heaven and earth.
Wei Chi Baolin took a fancy to a beautiful woman and wanted to take her as a concubine. The beautiful woman refused to be a concubine, and Wei Chi Baolin robbed the beautiful woman. This incident caused the impeachment of the imperial historian Liu Zangqi. Emperor Gaozong of Tang favored Wei Chi Baolin and allowed Wei Chi Baolin to occupy this beautiful woman. Liu Hidai his father, is the famous Liu Zhiji. Both father and son are notoriously hard bones.

Liu Zangqi saw that Tang Gaozong was partial to Wei Baolin, and directly angered Tang Gaozong: "Now Baolin please, Your Majesty obeys." His Majesty plays the music, and His Majesty follows. From it today, and tomorrow it will be changed, so that the next person may obey. The lady has no faith and does not stand, and the woman cannot be dishonest, but the son of heaven, Anko jokes. Your Majesty has two or three words. The punishment is uncertain, and the subject is afraid of the world and is at a loss. ”
Tang Gaozong was intimidated by Liu Zangji and did not dare to shield Wei Chi Baolin any longer. Since then, the Wei Chi family has fallen into the middle of the road. Qin Qiong had already stood on the side, and Wei Chi Baolin had also stood on the side. Above the court, there were neither people from the Qin family nor people from the Wei Chi family. Qin Li saw that no one in the DPRK was difficult to become an official, and it was inevitable that his career would not go well.
Cheng Yaojin was a sleek man, and he went through three dynasties and held the position of General of the Twelve Guards four times. Cheng bit Jin in the middle of the court, quite a mouthful of spit and a nail momentum. After Cheng Yaojin's death, his sons were all mixed up. Cheng Boxian's father was the third son of Cheng Biting Jin, named Cheng Chubi.
Cheng's mother, Cui Shi, is Cheng's wife. The Cui clan is from the Qinghe Cui clan, one of the five surnames of the Seven Wangs, and is the eldest daughter of the Qinghe Cui clan. The Qinghe Cui clan has had people in the court for a long time, and there are more than a dozen officials at the level of prime minister alone. Shangshu and officials of the rank of Jiuqing and Twelve Wei generals are even more numerous.
Cheng Boxian has both the grace of his father and the in-law of his mother's Qinghe Cui clan. Cheng Boxian, who is a person in the dynasty, also inherited the smooth personality of his grandfather Cheng Biting Jin, and had a very good relationship with Gao Lishi. Cheng Boxian had his father's favor and maternal branches on the outside, and Gao Lishi's beautiful words and help, so that he was given the holy family of Tang Xuanzong and became a great general of Jin Wuwei who sat on an equal footing with the prime minister.
The key to Cheng Boxian's success is that Cheng Yaojin will pave the way for his descendants. Qin Lijian only became a county clerk, because wu Zetian and Keju were forced by the general environment, and also because Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Baolin would not pave the way for their children and grandchildren.
