Li Yuan's surname is Li. Why is his father's surname Xiao Ye? This incident is clearly recorded in the official history of the country, "New and Old Books of Tang People". The original text is like this: A god-given tiger was born. In the Western Wei Dynasty, Xiao Ye was given the surname, and the official was Qiu. Li Mi and other eight people assisted Wei in the Zhou Dynasty. They are all cylindrical countries. Eight pillars country? . When Emperor Zhou Min was subjected to Wei Chan, the tiger died, but he remembered his merits, sealed Tang Gong and praised Xiang. Xiang Gongsheng, attack Tang Gong, Sui Taishou, general, pawn, praise and serve. ?
This historical material is from the Book of the New Tang Dynasty. The first chronicle. Interested friends can go and have a look. According to official records. Li Tianci gave birth to Li Hu, who was named Xiao Ye by the Western Wei Dynasty because of his outstanding military exploits, and became a wild tiger. Yoko Hu was still a Duke of Longxi County when he died. When the Northern Zhou Dynasty was founded, Yangzihu was made Duke of Tang. Xiao Ye Min is the third son of Xiao Ye Tiger. Because the eldest son and the second son of Xiao Ye Tiger had an accident, Xiao Ye Min inherited the title of Duke of Tang Dynasty.
Xiao Ye Min has never done anything great or made any catastrophe in his life, and he is a persevering person. There is really nothing worth writing about Xiao Ye, and his record in history books is also very brief. In my opinion, Xiao Ye's life has three things to show off. The first thing is to be reborn, to be a good father and a wild tiger. The second thing is to marry a good wife, Dugu. The third thing is to have children and a good son, Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye Min's wife, Dugu, is the daughter of Duguxin, a famous handsome man. Duguxin's real name is Duguyuan, and Duguyuan is a colleague of Yoko Hu. Both are one of the eight pillar countries. The Dugu family and the Xiao Ye family are a good match. As the heir of the Xiao Ye family, Xiao Ye Min married the daughter of the Dugu family, which was a perfect match made in heaven.
Xiao Ye Min's marriage laid the foundation for her son Xiao Ye Yuan's soaring. As we all know, Dugu has a daughter, Dugu Galo. Dugu Jialuo's husband is Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Dugu Jialuo and Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty took good care of their little nephew Li Yuan. The book of the New and Old Tang Dynasty recorded this matter, and the original text was:? Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was a lonely queen and the mother of Gaozu, so Wendi and Gaozu fell in love. ?
According to the New Tang Book, when Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was preparing to replace the Northern Zhou Dynasty to establish the Great Sui Dynasty, Xiao Ye Yuan complied with the situation, giving up Xiao Ye's surname and changing his grandfather's original surname to Li. According to official records, Xiao Ye Min's surname was Xiao Ye all her life. Ono's surname was only Ono in childhood, and he changed his surname to Li in adulthood. Later, the surname changed to Li, and Xiao Ye Tiger and Xiao Ye people changed back.
In his later years, Li Yuan took a risk and founded the Tang Dynasty. According to etiquette, the emperor's father and mother must be the emperor and queen. The emperor's biological father and mother have never been emperors, and they must be emperors and queens. With a stroke of a pen, Li Yuan issued an imperial edict to ratify his father CoCo Lee as the Tang Yuanzu and his biological mother Du Gushi as the Queen of Tang Yuanzhen.

CoCo Lee never dreamed that he became emperor 45 years after his death. What surprised CoCo Lee even more was that his descendants would have tens of millions. This matter, but also from Tang Gaozu. After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he accepted concubines in his later years and gave birth to seventeen sons.
Tang Gaozu originally had five sons, plus 17 sons born in his later years, making a total of 22 sons. They are: Prince Li, Emperor Taizong, Wang Wei Li Xuanba, Qi Wang Li Yuanji, Chu Wang Li Zhiyun, Li, Hanwang, Li, Zhou Wang, Xu Wang Li Yuanli, Hanwang Li Yuanjia, Peng Wang Li Yuanze, Zheng Wang Li Yuanyi, Huo Wang Li Yuangui, Guo Wang Li Feng, Dao Wang Li Yuanqing and Deng Wang Li Yuanyu.
13579 Li Yuan sowed seeds, and in 24680 he became a man, bearing rich fruits. Among the sons of Tang Gaozu, there are several fertility experts. Li Shimin gave birth to fourteen sons and Li Yuanying gave birth to eighteen sons. Tang Gaozu's son is the worst prince. They are not short of women or money. They produced at full capacity, leaving Tang Gaozu with three-digit grandchildren.
After Wu Zetian came to power, she massacred the imperial clan of Li Tang on a large scale. Wu Zetian was killed, but she could not shake the foundation of Li Tang imperial clan. There is a simple reason. There are too many descendants of Tang Gaozu for Wu Zetian to kill them all. For example. Li Yuanying had eighteen sons, and Wu Zetian killed six, leaving twelve.

By the time of the Dragon Revolution, Li Tang's royal family had regained the status of a celestial aristocrat. Li's population has experienced explosive growth again. For example, Li Longji, the famous emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was a fertility expert. The Book of the New Tang Dynasty records that Li Longji's grandchildren have reached three figures, while Li Longji often doesn't know his grandson. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, the population of Li Tang imperial clan had reached several hundred thousand.
After the demise of the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of descendants of Li Yuan thrived and became the most populous tribe in the Li family. Today, Li's global population adds up to more than 1 billion. Hundreds of millions of Li people, most of whom are descendants of the imperial clan, have a population of tens of millions in Huodetang alone. Li Huode is a descendant of Li Shimin, that is, a descendant of Xiao Ye Min. The descendants of Tang Gaozu add up to tens of millions, that is to say, the descendants of Xiao Ye Min have tens of millions.
By the way, the surname Xiao Ye looks like a Japanese surname, but it is actually a Xianbei surname. After Xianbei people were integrated into the Han nationality, Xiao Ye's surname was the real Chinese surname, which had nothing to do with Japanese surname. There are many similar examples, such as Shi and Wei Chi, all of which say that Xianbei's surname has been sinicized.
