A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

If he really insists on these historians' views, he might actually kill himself here in a fit of anger.

The historian recorded everything truthfully, without altering a single word.

This is not without precedent; there have been many emperors throughout history who have tried to tamper with historical records.

Especially those incompetent rulers, which one of them didn't have self-awareness? Did they not know what kind of reputation they would have in the history books in the future?

Which of them hasn't considered revising history books?

Even if he's not a wise ruler, at least he should have a good reputation, and at least not be ranked last.

Did they succeed? No.

Some tortured the historians, others threatened them with death, but to no avail. Others simply appointed their own people as historians, producing obsequious and flattering accounts that gained no public approval and were utterly useless.

The actions of those incompetent rulers throughout history have fully demonstrated the attitude of historians; they truly recorded the facts truthfully, without altering a single word.

You think you can use your power to force us to submit? You're dreaming!

"Historians are fair and impartial; they distinguish between merit and demerit, never overshadowing either. From a historian's perspective, what posthumous title would be appropriate?"

The historian who stepped forward pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about Xuanlie?"

Xuanlie? !

Huang Xian, Huang Ling, and the officials of the court pondered the posthumous title and nodded in agreement. As expected of historians, their insight was sharp; this posthumous title was most appropriate.

The title "Xuan" is a beautiful posthumous name, signifying Huang Chao's widespread benevolence, providing a way of life for the poor, and his achievements in promoting land equalization and the imperial examination system.

The title "Lie" is a combination of "powerful and wise" and "meritorious in bringing peace to the people." It is a beautiful posthumous title that represents Huang Chao's contributions in the process of unifying the world.

"Lie" is also a complimentary posthumous title, but it is often used for emperors who did not achieve their goals, such as Emperor Zhaolie of Han, Liu Bei, which gives the title a strong sense of regret.

This posthumous title almost perfectly met the needs of the Ministry of Rites and Huang Xian and his clan, showcasing Huang Chao's achievements in both civil and military affairs while also expressing regret for his unfinished work—a win-win situation.

"Excellent."

Huang Xian clapped his hands in approval and turned his gaze to the Minister of Rites, "What does the Minister of Rites think?"

The Minister of Rites stroked his white beard and praised, "This title is excellent; I have no objection."

"Where are my ministers?"

Huang Xian then looked at the many ministers in the court.

"good!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Huang Xian smiled and said, "Since everyone has no objections, then let's set the posthumous title of Father Emperor as Xuanlie."

"Emperor Xuanlie, the Great Ancestor of the Great Qi Dynasty!"

Huang Xian announced.

The assembled officials knelt and shouted in unison, "Respectfully sending off Emperor Taizu Xuanlie!"

After Huang Chao's funeral, Huang Ling took the military horses, weapons and provisions that Huang Xian had prepared for him and went to the border to defend against the enemy.

Not long after Huangling set off, the nine empires and nine top kingdoms surrounding the Great Qi simultaneously declared that the Great Qi had lost its Mandate of Heaven and that the Mandate of Heaven for China should be given to the capable. They all claimed to be the legitimate successors of China and launched an attack on the Great Qi.

Six of these countries took the sea route, launching their attacks from the coastal areas of the South China Sea and the East China Sea respectively.

The other 12 states attacked from the north, northwest, and southwest of Qi, forming a massive army of over ten million, an unprecedented force in history.

In Luoyang, Huang Xian also faced immense pressure.

He had only been on the throne for less than a year when such a serious border crisis broke out in the Great Qi. Even though some people knew that war was inevitable, many still had reservations about his position.

Some even shouted that it would be better to let the King of Qin ascend the throne.

Huang Xian knew without even thinking that this was definitely the work of these eighteen countries.

Now that the Great Qi is beset by internal and external troubles, even if Huang Ling is foolish, he knows that a large-scale internal strife must not break out at this time.

Otherwise, what awaits the Great Qi is the destruction of the country and the ruin of the family. At that time, what throne will there be left to fight for?

As the legitimate bloodline of the Divine Continent Empire, their royal family is someone that all the nations under heaven would love to kill.

No, not necessarily.

Some might preserve their family's bloodline, nurture it first, and then stage a drama of abdication to inherit the mandate of heaven passed down from the Divine Empire.

After the inheritance is completed, either make their lineage die out, or cause them to fall into the water by accident; the outcome will be the same anyway.

As the last legitimate bloodline of the Divine Continent Empire, the Huang family was definitely a coveted prize in the eyes of those people.

The Huang family? The royal family?!

Thinking of this, Huang Xian even forced a mocking smile onto his lips. Is this fate?

He couldn't help but think of the name he often heard his father say when he was young.

The Wei family.

Back when the Wei family was still around, the Divine Empire could awe all directions. Holding the name of legitimacy, no one dared to disobey, the world submitted to them, and all nations came to pay tribute.

As soon as the Wei family announced their retirement, empires sprang up all over the world, heroes vied for power, and the political landscape shifted dramatically.

The difference is just too big!

He couldn't imagine what kind of family could have such a powerful deterrent and influence.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were quite a few families that existed around the same time as the Wei family, some of which were nearly a thousand years old. Some even had noble bloodlines that had been passed down since ancient times, with a lineage that lasted much longer than that of the Wei family.

However, none of these families had the same influence as the Wei family. When his father started killing, he was no different from those centuries-old families; he could just chop people down without hesitation.

But why is the Wei family able to stand out from the crowd like this?

Huang Xian perused the historical records about the Wei family, but through these records, he could only see the Wei family vaguely, like looking at flowers through a fog.

Over the years, he had been ordering people to search for the Wei family, turning almost the entire Yunzhou upside down, but he still had no news at all.

He even sent countless people to search the entire Kyushu province, but there was still no news.

If it weren't for historical records, his memories of his father's teachings, and the stories passed down by those around him, he would hardly believe that such a family had ever existed in history.

A vast family with a history spanning thousands of years, a family spread across the world, a family with hundreds of thousands of members, just vanished without a trace, disappearing without a trace, leaving no trace for anyone to find. It's like a ghost story.

According to the intelligence he obtained, not only had the people in Shenzhou disappeared without a trace, but the Wei family in other countries had also withdrawn at almost the same time. Each country sent people to search for them, but all their efforts came to nothing, and no country found the Wei family's hiding place.

This is hundreds of thousands of people, not hundreds of thousands of ants!

With so many people eating, drinking, sleeping, and living, they have countless interactions with the outside world. How could it possibly happen quietly?!

But they couldn't find a trace of them, as if the Wei family had collectively vanished from the world.
