Such as Lu Gong King Zhu Yitan,the table did not write down whether he had been born by his father's primary wife or concubine. To be born by primary mother or concubine mother is very important for a royal member to enjoy the political privilege and economic privilege,especially in Ming Dynasty.Now,according to the records from Ming Shi Lu,give it complement,and point out that Zhu Yitan was Lu Duan King's first son born by concubine.Such as Zhu Yitan too,the time recorded by Table of Every King's Generations II when he succeeded the rank of nobility of Lu King is"the thirty-second year of Jia Jing".Now,according to the records from Ming Shi Lu and the other Table of Every King's Generations,point out that the time when he succeeded the rank of nobility of Lu King ought to be "the twenty-eighth year of Jia Jing".The words used for the royal member of Ming Dynasty have been fixed strictly,they must be the words composed by Wu Xing. However,the final Yang Xin King's name recorded by Table of Every King's Generations II is"弘福", it is wrong obviously.Now,according to the rules to name the royal member of Ming Dynasty set by Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Shi Li,records on the monument in the tomb, point out that the final Yang Xin King's name ought to be''弘福",and so on.Part five, it had discussed the influences the family had on the Yan Zhou County in seceral aspects during more than 200 years.It has four aspects mostly.First,it is that,the influences the family of Lu King had on the districts of Yan Zhou County. Second,it had discussed the influences the family of Lu King had on the law order of local society in two aspects,which are contrary.And concluded that as the clss which owned the vested interests,the family of the Lu King was the saboteur,when the social order was stable relatively.However,it was the active sustainer,when the social order was artery.Third the maintenances for the members of the family of Lu King,and the seeking for the treasures, had made tremendous terrible influences on the local society.Forth, it had discussed that a few members of the family of Lu King had contributions to the culture development of local society.
