Li Chongyi naturally took the post of Chiang Kai-shek in his hometown of Jingzhao County, and later served as a relatively high envoy. Li Quan, the father of Li Jing and Li, is in the history books, but the record in the literature is very simple, that is, his position is "Commander in Chief of Sui and Tang Dynasties". Before the Sui Dynasty, Li Quan married a sister (probably his sister) of the later general Han Qinhu. These two families are the same family. How many children do they have? Li Jing and Li are the second sons. Li Keshi's youngest son, Li Demo (also known as Li Demo), mentioned in the epitaph that Li Quan was "the first scholar in the state, riding with the car, the third division of Yitong, the satrap of Zhaojun, the leader of Yongzheng and the leader of business development". "Shangkaifu" is the abbreviation of Shangkaifu Yitong Third Division. Originally, Emperor Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty set up a hero with a low grade, but after the Sui Dynasty, he became a scattered official and was subordinate to the third class. However, in the epitaph of (the son of Li), it is also said that Li Quan is a "Jingzhou secretariat". However, Li Quan died in the early years of the Sui Dynasty (the ninth year of the Emperor), and his second son, Li Duan, inherited the title of Yong Kang Gong, but he also died soon after. The epitaph of Li Duan, the brother of Li Jing and Li Kesi, reads, "In the ninth year of the Emperor, the third division of Kaifu Instrument was given to attack Yongkang County." This year, Li Quan died of illness and was succeeded by his second son, Li Duan. Because Li Duan died in the Sui Dynasty, there may be no suitable male heir. Finally, after the Tang Dynasty, Li Duan's brother Li Zhengming inherited this title; And his younger brother Li Jing has another knighthood.
Li Duan is the eldest son of Mrs. Li Quan and Han, and also the elder brother of Excavate. He had a very important position in the Sui Dynasty. "In 14, he was awarded the chief officer of Wuzhou Road." He returned home in triumph, and Emperor Wendi of Sui personally sent someone to hold a grand reception ceremony for him and made him a general. It turned out that the post of "chief officer" was a temporary official position in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Since the Sui Dynasty, the chief officer has evolved into the position of local military and political chief. Because of Li Duan's great contributions, his reputation and record were envied by Su Yang, and he was dismissed from his post, and he has been at home ever since. In the ninth year of his great cause, Li Duan died at his home in Luoyang at the age of 47. Li Duan's life story is not recorded in the history books, perhaps it was left behind, or for other reasons. Li Duan may have been married long ago, but there is no male heir. In this case, Li Duan's brother got the emperor's permission and inherited the title of Duke Yongkang from his younger brother Li Duan.
According to historical materials and epitaphs in the Tang Dynasty, Li Quan had at least five sons, three of whom had similar names, such as Wang Yao, which might imply that he hoped his son could grow up healthily, or that he was weak when he was young. Neither Old Tang Book nor New Tang Book mentions Li Keshi's marriage, but it is recorded in the epitaph of Li Keshi's grandson Li: "Grandmother Shi, the cousin of Queen Wende". In other words, Li's wife is the cousin of Emperor Taizong's queen, and may be the daughter of Chang Sunchi (the elder brother of Chang Sunsheng). Although this marriage belongs to a typical Guanlong aristocratic group marriage, the relationship between husband and wife is still very good. They have at least four sons, who probably got married in the Qing Dynasty and served as the arm of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. This custom can be traced back to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Generally, the number of children of ministers below grade six is above 100. Zhang, the wife of Li Zhi's brother Li Jing, is the prototype of Hong Fu in the legendary novels of Tang Dynasty. This lady Zhang was originally the daughter of an official family in Jiangnan. With the demise of the Chen Dynasty, Zhang became a singer of Sui Dynasty ministers. After Li Jing became an official, he met Hongfu by chance, and they fell in love at first sight. Zhang was eighteen that year. Later, Jing Li and Hongfu left and finally got married. Although many of this story is fictional, the literati in the late Tang Dynasty are likely to be familiar with the deeds of Li Jing and his wife.
However, in the history books of the Tang Dynasty, it is only recorded that she died in Zhenguan for fourteen years. According to "Old Tang Book", "When Jing's wife died, there was an imperial tomb system, according to Korean stories". This passage means that the tomb system of Li Jing's wife was built according to the cemetery specifications of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the Western Han Dynasty. What is the surname of Li Jing's wife? It can't be found in the history books. Maybe she is not a noble family, but scholars who wrote history at the beginning are likely to know some of her deeds. Li Jing's wife was once the wife of Wei Gong, but she was canonized in the eleventh year of Zhenguan. Li Jing and Mrs. Zhang have deep feelings and have at least two sons. There are not many records about the deeds of Li Jing's descendants in the history books, but in the tomb of Li Jun, the great-grandson of Li Jing's son, Li De Award, the official position of Li Jing is described as follows: "Gao Zujing, who opened the government, was also the third division, and the right servant of Shangshu, the secretariat, and Wei Gong gave Stuart, saying that he was a martial artist." The epitaph records are completely consistent with the related contents of Old Tang Shu, New Tang Shu and Zi Tongzhi Jian. Li De Award, the second son of Li Jing, is the secretariat of Yanzhou. Due to the exile of my brother Li Dejian, in this case, my brother Li De Award can inherit the title of Wei Guogong from Li Jing.
Li's official position is not high, and his son is Sima, who may have been demoted for some reason. However, Li's son, Li Qixian, is a seven-product official, and his family may have returned to Beijing, and the situation has improved. The owner of the epitaph, Li Jun, is the fifth son of Li Qixian. Later, he was appointed as the chief military attache of History. His wife Shi Pei died before him. Li Jun died in the fifth year of Dezong Zhenyuan at the age of 65. However, Li Jun's epitaph changed the name of Li Quan's father, Li Chongyi, to Li Rang, perhaps to avoid the name of Li, the ancestor of Li Tang. In fact, in history books, his name is Li Chongyi, and some epitaphs are written by Li Yi. It is said that during Li Jing's serious illness, Li Shimin sent people to visit him many times. The letter wrote: "I am sick day and night and want to get familiar with public life." These letters were collected by Li Jingsun in the Five Dynasties. It is said that they were written by Li Shimin. There are several boxes. It is said that Wenzong liked it after reading it and stayed in the palace. In addition, Li Shimin also gave Li Jing many items, such as a pen (a brush worn on the waist), which is made of wood and has gold characters on it. In addition, using a belt to limit the number of squares can be said to be more exquisite and beautiful; Khotan also has a 13-ring jade belt, which was worn by Excavate in those days, and it is said that it was also an item given to him by Li Shimin.
Due to historical reasons, we can't know the basic situation of Li Quan's other sons and descendants. We only know that Li Zhengming, the eldest brother of Li Ke's division, once held such important positions as Zuo Xiao Wei, You Tunwei, General, and Langkui Yuanling. Li Duan's deeds in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty only mentioned "Xiong Jing Duan, the word drug king, and Gong Jing attacked Yongkang Gong, the word Zizhou secretariat". In fact, Li Duan, Li Jing's brother, died as early as the Daye period, so it is impossible to seal the title of Yong Kang Gong in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Duan here should be Li Zhengming, the eldest brother of Excavate. After the death of his brother Li Duan, Emperor Taizong named him Yongkang Gong because of the contribution of Li Jing. Li Jing's deeds can still be found in his epitaph, but the handwriting has fallen off in many places, but the basic content is consistent with Old Tang Shu and New Tang Shu, which also shows that Li Jing's grandfather was awarded the title of Yongkang County Duke, not Yongkang County Duke. However, in the epitaph, it is also mentioned that Li Jing/Kloc-was transferred from Chang 'an Order to Gongcao at the age of 0/6, and later made "Ji County Order, Anyang Sanyuan First", which means that his performance evaluation is the best. Regarding the exact date of Li Jing's death, the epitaph records "the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, May 18th". After Li Jing's death, the title of Duke Weiguo was passed from the eldest son to the second son, Li De Award, and the descendants were sealed for generations and passed on to Li Jun. No matter their official position, this title has not changed.
Let's talk about Li Jingshi, Li Jing's younger brother. Li's record in the history books is very simple, that is, he was a general when he was young and made a lot of contributions. Later, he was named the founding father of Danyang County. In the epitaph of Li's youngest son, it is mentioned: "The left and right generals in the imperial court are in the imperial court, and the right general is in the imperial court, and Chuzhou is given the secretariat." According to the system of the Sui Dynasty, both General Zuo and General Right came from official positions with Daoism, and the number was two, respectively, to assist the general in charge of the guard and stop supplying equipment. Later, it was no longer set up in the third year of Daye (607). Probably, Li held these two positions three years before Daye, when he was probably married to Shi. After three years' great career, Li did a period of secretariat work in Chuzhou, where he could enjoy the picturesque scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. After the Tang Dynasty, he and his brother Li Jing entered Chang 'an, and they were named "Xiao Wei, the left and right general", which belonged to the ranks of subordinates and was mainly in charge of the palace guards. The epitaph's evaluation of Li Keshi is: "Justice is free from people's hearts, but it will not die; This is the stage to make you famous. "This passage may refer to the fact that Li was named Duke of Danyang because of his outstanding military exploits, and was later awarded an important official position in Zhu, which is equivalent to an officer with outstanding military exploits. According to the epitaph of Li Yue, the grandson of Li Keshi, Li Keshi himself received a good cultural education and was able to write very good articles, "living up to the reputation of Lin Wen". He also enjoyed a certain reputation in the literary world at that time, and his fencing was also very good.
Later, Li and his wife Shi had four sons, all of whom lived to adulthood. After Yonghui in Tang Dynasty, Li retired very early. He likes to live a leisurely country life. His manor is located in Kunming Pool, with beautiful environment and fragrant flowers, and he can often engage in his favorite hunting activities. Interestingly, every time Li goes out, the birds seem to know him. Li Jia, the eldest son of Li (word Dashan), later attacked and sealed his Danyang county magistrate title and made Ji Chuan. Li Dahui, Li's second son, was initially appointed as Zuo's official post, belonging to the Sixteen Guards Organization, and was generally held by a higher-ranking aristocratic child. Later, Li Dahui, the "Neijiang County, moved to the state order", had certain achievements. Li Dahui's basic situation can only be seen in the epitaph of his son Li Yue. As the son of the county magistrate, Li Yue received a good cultural education and had a high cultural quality. He married Chai of a noble family. This lady may be related to the Chai Shao family of Li Yuan's son-in-law. However, Li Yue's position in the Tang Dynasty was to manage the emperor's horses. His time happened to be when Wu Zetian came to Korea. He can't take part in political affairs. He died in Wu Zetian for three years, but the year of his death is not recorded. His wife Chai died in the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. They have a son and a daughter. Li's fourth son, a former general Zuo Yulin and Zuo Wuwei, was later named the founding son of Yichun County. He married Yan when he was young. Yan is the eldest daughter of Yan Jingsi, the elder brother of Emperor Taizong's Li Shimin Yan Defei. They have deep feelings and have two sons. This Mrs. Yan was born in a poetic family and received a good cultural education. "Reading a poem with a clear ceremony becomes auxiliary beauty." However, in the second year of Tongzhang, Yan died at the age of 39. After Yan's death, his life has undergone tremendous changes. Finally, in the first year of hanging arch, he died in the Gui Jiang Guest House in a remote area. Gui Jiang here refers to today's Lijiang River area, which is very far from the capital Chang 'an. The epitaph quoted the allusions of Jia Yi and Ma Yuan, indicating that Li Dazhi was later relegated and exiled, possibly for some political reasons. Li's youngest son, a senior official in Shangzhu, died in Yonghui for six years. He was so ill that even the famous doctor at that time could not be cured. He is fifty years old.
