After the Chinese developed, they will cultivate the family tree, honor the ancestors, and some will pull a few great celebrities in history to be the ancestors, regardless of whether people agree or disagree.
For example, comrade Yuan Shikai, who I want to talk about today, in order to be able to become emperor in a "just and righteous way", actually pulled the grand inspector Yuan over and decorated himself with a façade.
In fact, this routine is not the first creation of Comrade Yuan Shikai, most of the founding monarchs in history have done so, such as the wise and divine Tang Taizong Li Shimin, it is reasonable to say that such cattle X people no longer need to rely on the ancestors to fight for face, but Li Shimin still pulled Lao Zi Li Er hard, saying that their old Li family is a direct descendant of Lao Tzu. This routine is nothing more than to tell the world that I, the emperor, did not come in vain, because the ancestor of my family was not an ordinary person, but belonged to Gen Zheng Miao Hong.
Since Yuan Shikai also had this idea, his men had to start busy.
The first to stand up was Comrade Luo Xiaoshu (pronounced "Rong"). This comrade Luo was a disciple of Kang Youwei, and he was also a very famous celebrity in the late Qing Dynasty, and after some research, it was verified that Yuan Shikai's ancestor was Yuan Shao in the Three Kingdoms period, saying that the descendants of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan clan traveled from place to place, and in the Qing Dynasty, they transferred to Xiangcheng, Henan, so Yuan Shikai was the descendant of Yuan Shao at that time, and he also vowed: "After the fame and virtue, there will be a master!" ”
But after Yuan Shikai saw it, he was not very satisfied, because Yuan Shao was not a very accomplished figure in history, "big and small, fierce and timid", and finally defeated by Cao Cao.
At this time, another disciple of Kang Youwei, Zhang Bozhen, stood up again (it seems that Lao Kang's disciples were infected with his habit of practicing great joy and unruly exercises), and it was confirmed that Yuan Shikai was actually a descendant of Yuan Chonghuan, the great governor of the late Ming Dynasty.

Please note that Yuan Chonghuan is from Dongguan, Guangdong Province, while Yuan Shikai is from Xiangcheng, Henan, more than 3,600 miles apart, and most importantly, Yuan Chonghuan has no sons at all! So how did Yuan Shikai relate to him?
Don't worry, our historians have always been very methodical. After some rigorous research, Zhang Bozhen finally came to the conclusion that after Yuan Chonghuan was killed that year, his family was also exiled for three thousand miles, but his younger brother Yuan Chongyu escaped and finally settled in Xiangcheng, Henan, so there is today's Yuan Shikai.
The pony, so dangerous, finally rounded up!
At this time, Yuan Shikai was also very happy, although it was not a direct branch of Yuan Chonghuan, but it was somewhat related, more importantly, Yuan Chonghuan was the number one anti-Qing hero of the famous, and it was most appropriate for him to end the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty as his descendants.
Zhang Bozhen was praised, more excited, and after some rigorous research, he helped Yuan Shikai add a very heavy weight - after Yuan Chonghuan was killed, there was a proverb circulating in the local area: "The one who killed Yuan is Qing, and the one who kills Yuan is Yuan." ”
As soon as this proverb came out, Yuan Shikai was even happier, and rewarded Zhang Bozhen heavily.
Zhang Bozhen may have been touched to the G-spot, the climax was continuous, and continued to write, saying that Yuan Chonghuan should be posthumously honored as emperor, and even thought of a name, called "ZhaozuYuan Emperor", and applied to build a "original temple" for him.
Yuan Shikai's face was thin, and he was still a little embarrassed by him, and he resigned several times, and finally Zhang Bozhen was the bow, saying that if you don't agree anymore, then the people of the whole country will turn their faces with you! Yuan Shikai had no choice but to agree to it half-pushing and half-agreeing, and sent people to start building the "original temple".
This time, even Zhang Bozhen's teacher, Fu Kang Youwei, personally went out on the horse, and the temple forehead, temple union, temple poems, and temple records were all written by Kang Youwei himself. It seems that this old Kang really does not want to face, the front foot just eyebrows with the Guangxu Emperor, hate can not be martyred with Guangxu, the back foot immediately hooked up with Yuan Shikai.
Unfortunately, as soon as the "original temple" was built, Comrade Yuan Shikai cried out for his life. I don't know how Yuan Shikai should explain to Inspector Yuan after going there.
