Where are Xue's descendants?

Li Xue, king of Pingyang County, was a famous soldier in the period of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong. However, due to the description of Romance in later generations, we usually call him Xue, not his word. County magistrate is the highest title that a general with a foreign surname can get in the Tang Dynasty, second only to the king and heir.

Generally speaking, the descendants of Xue have five children, which are not recorded, but probably not. In the love story, he has only one son and one grandson. Let's talk about official history and romance.

The official Xue family

Xue has a wife Liu and gave birth to five sons: the eldest son, the second son Xue Sheng 'an, the third son Xue, the fourth son Xue Chuzhen and the fifth son Xue Chuyu. I browsed the Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, which only recorded the deeds of Xue Heng and Xue Chuyu. As for the other three people, I didn't see a word, but it was written in Baidu, so it may be recorded in Xue's genealogy, so let's not talk about it.

Xue died in the second year of Yongchun (683) at the age of 70, and was posthumously awarded General Zuo and the secretariat of Youzhou. Xue Heng, the eldest son, chose his words carefully. He was appreciated by Xuanzong because of his paternal status in Wuhou period? Have the wind of Zhou Yafu? , guarding the western regions for several years, even breaking Tubo and Turkic. In the eighth year of Kaiyuan (720), he died at the age of 72. Zhao Ding? There is no record about children in the Book of New Tang Dynasty and Book of Old Tang Dynasty.

The second son, Xue Chuyu, recorded only one sentence: Chu Yu, a bookworm brother, was the prefect of Youzhou and our ambassador at Kaiyuan, and died of incompetence. Xue Chuyu didn't do much, but his son was very good: Xue Song. During the Anshi Rebellion, he relied on Shi Chaoyi to defend Xiangzhou and resist Tang Ting, and then entered Tang Ting. He played for the ministers of punishments, Wei Xiang Mingxing and other states, and was quite famous. He was named King of Gaoping County and was in charge of Zhao Yijun. ? In the seventh year of Dali (772), he died as a posthumous gift to Taibao.

Xue Song's younger brother, Xue Min, succeeded his elder brother in guarding Xiangzhou.

Xue Song's son Xue Ping is an easy-going person. 12 years old is the secretariat of Cizhou, and the official is Stuart. He died at the age of 80 and was awarded a teacher after his death.

Xue Yan, the son of Xue Ping, followed the word, ranking from official to left-handed general, and was awarded the Ministry of Industry. Although Xue Song was tainted by anti-Tang, the Xue family was proud of the Tang Dynasty.

Romantic Xue family

The eldest son is based on Xue's eldest son. There is a set of continuous narrative records about Xue Men's three outstanding men in popular novels in Qing Dynasty, namely, Xue Dongzheng, Western Expedition and Anti-Tang Dynasty.

Appeared at the end of Xue Dongzheng and officially became the protagonist of the Western Expedition. His wives are Fan Lihua, Dou Jintong and Chen Jinding, and they have a son Xue Gang.

Xue's eldest grandson, formerly known as Xue Song, joined the Anshi Rebellion. However, in the Romance, the reason for opposing the Tang Dynasty was that they didn't like the bullying of the Wu family and killed the children of the Wu family. His father, Xue Dingshan, was ordered to be executed by the marquis of Wu. Xue Gang was very angry and rose up to resist. He shared the Tang family with the imperial clan of Li Tang and opposed the tyranny of Wu. In this way, the rebellion was not directed against the Tang Dynasty, but against the Dongwu regime.

However, this is a romantic writing style. In the official history, Xue Song really took refuge in the rebels, but it was the Tang room led by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. However, after Xue Song, Xue Jiadi can still enjoy high officials and generous salaries, which shows that after the Anshi Rebellion, the influence of the Tang family has been weakening day by day, and it is hard to return.
