The first family;

The patriarch, that is, the family advocates righteousness, and is drinking with the guardian elder Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong is now completely in the same vein as the patriarch.

The guardian elders are not involved in family affairs, their duty is to protect the family, and Zhang Xian's uncle Zhang Yu is also a member of the Guardian Elders' House.

The Guardian Elder's House usually has nothing to do, just stay in the family forbidden area to cultivate, and the family provides the best supply of resources.

The Zhang family now has two legendary masters in addition to the only surviving ancestor, representing the two forces of the Zhang family.

One of these two legendary masters is in charge of the House of Elders and the other is in charge of the Council of Elders.

Zhang Huizong belongs to the side of the Presbyterian Church, and Zhang Tong and Zhang Yu belong to the line of the Elders' House.

Zhang Zongxian joined the Council of Elders, so he said that Zhang Huizong would be used to deal with Zhang Xian.

As a result, now Zhang Huizong's lineage, including his nephew Zhang Xian, nephew Zhang Hui, and Zhang Bao, have all become Zhang Xian's people.

The most important thing is that Zhang Hongdu, who has the ability to compete for the next patriarch, has become Mo Zhi with Zhang Xian.

Zhang Hong has a very high status in the Zhang family, and is the object of the Guardian Elders' House and the Council of Elders, and his connections and popularity are very high.

In fact, according to the clan rules, both the House of Elders and the Council of Elders have to unconditionally support the patriarch.

However, if a family is too large and has existed for too long, it is inevitable that disputes will arise, if it is handled well, it is competition, and if it is not handled well, it is infighting.

Zhang Fa (忢專) was seriously injured, lost himself, and disappeared for hundreds of years, so that no one remembered him, and they all thought that he had fallen.

But not long ago, he was unscathed, and returned with the strength that the two legendary masters of the family could not compete with, and beat the two ancestors enshrined by the Zhang family, forcing the two to reluctantly return the right to the patriarch Zhang Zheng.

The two ancestors passed down the word and fully supported the patriarch, and then they did not come forward again.

The people below didn't know what was going on, and the words of the two ancestors didn't know how many times they had been heard, so they didn't really treat it too seriously.

Therefore, the competition for power in the family is still fierce.

This is not to say that the Zhang family competes with these two forces, there are many more, the most prominent and powerful are these two forces, which can influence the decision-making of the patriarch when it is serious.

"Yuan Yi (Zhang Xian's character) is coming, and the opinions of the family are still difficult to unify, especially the seventh uncle, the president of the Presbyterian Church, I can't convince him after trying many times, alas,"

Zhang Zheng sighed helplessly.

The seventh uncle's name is Zhang You, the family word Huigen, a very stubborn one, a half-step legendary realm, Zhang Huizong's cousin, his attitude has something to do with Zhang Ge, the junior who returned to the family.

"I don't know what Uncle Seventh thinks, it's just enough to support Zhang Hong, and he also included Xianzong, who is far inferior to Yuecheng, into the Council of Elders, I don't have any prejudice against Xianzong, this person is much more stable than when he came last few times, but the Daoji is flawed, if it is not for the miraculous medicine conditioning, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter.

And Zhang Ge, who was not right-hearted, was also arranged by Uncle 1 Seventh to the elite training camp and incorporated into the 'Jingyi Garden', but Yuan Yi, who had the power of a country, was rejected by him.

I really can't see what he's thinking. ”

Zhang Tong was fooled by Zhang You to trouble Zhang Xian last time, but he was disgraced, but he praised Zhang Xian because of that experience.

Although the Zhang family is the first family on the Xianyue Continent, there is no secular kingdom, and the reason for this is that the children of the family are in a superior situation, and they have smoothed out their self-motivation, staying in a comfortable nest, and accumulating surplus on the ancestors, that is, gnawing at the old clan.

If this continues, sooner or later the family will decline.

will only fight in the nest, but he doesn't want to broaden the strength of the family.

And the children who are released, there are also some capable people, according to the practices of other families, at least they will come forward to support, how far you can develop, that is within your ability, but it is definitely beneficial and harmless to the family.

But the Zhang family is very arrogant, not only do not support, but sit on the ground to draw salary, get it for nothing, so many years out of a child Zhang Yuecheng set up a vassal state, you give support, he did the opposite, give a bowl of porridge, but want to return a bowl of meat.

So much so that the country of Dongli was short-lived.

That's it, I have to dig up the grave and scrape the bones.

Zhang Yu was the one who took people to dig his nephew's grave, of course he was used.

"I have been in contact with Yuan several times, and from what I know about him, he has a deep grudge against the family.

It's easy to understand that at the age of his twenties, he has gone through several life and death tribulations, won a piece of the world, the family did not give a little support, and he was murdered by the people sent by the family, and in the end, he had to ask others for 20% of the budget we made ourselves, and I would be angry in exchange.

However, he is not narrow-minded, but there is something wrong with the way we do things, and I believe that he will integrate into the family. ”

Zhang Tong explained to the patriarch.

"I also know this, but without the support of the House and the Association, it is really difficult for me to use the strength of the family to support him. ”

Zhang Zheng's words are also true, at that time, his patriarch could not be said to be out of the Zhang family, and almost became a puppet, and the dispute between the Guardian Elders' House and the Council of Elders was white-hot, and he ganged up, almost emptying his rights as a patriarch.

Under the name of the Guardian Elders' House, the family is an elite disciple carefully cultivated by the family, and as a guardian responsibility, the family unconditionally provides human resources.

The House of Elders, a place where elite disciples who have entered the WTO come to retire for the elderly, including the elite of the side lineage and their recruits and servants.

The House of Elders is a hodgepodge, but the masters are like clouds.

The original intention of the ancestors to establish this courtyard for a while was to envelop the family and its followers scattered outside, and once the family was in trouble, this was the power of reserves.

But now it has deteriorated and become a tool for power and profit within the family.

A decaying family in urgent need of innovation.

"Uncle Seventh is too clear to be there, and he is unwilling to accept Yuan Yi, but the attitude of the guardian side is also ambiguous, only most of the elite disciples of the 'Jingyi Yuan' have a heart of worship for Yuan Yi, and the young man's mind is not so complicated. ”

It is true that Zhang Tong is the guardian elder, but he is not a person who is a man of his word, there is also a dean Zhang Zhong (clan name Huitong), this person is old and sophisticated, calm and serious, and never participates in trivial matters, but he does not nod his head in the matter of guarding the elders' house, except for the ancestor above, no one can mobilize the power of the guardian elders' house.

He usually doesn't care about anything, and he basically doesn't ask about the small actions made by the people in the House of Elders, but on matters of principle, he doesn't give orders, and whoever acts privately will not be punished for it.

Therefore, the Guardian Elder's House is relatively stable in the Zhang family, while the Council of Elders is a little chaotic.

"I wanted to leave the courtyard aside for a while, so I decided to personally welcome Yuan Yi into Beijing. ”

In the end, Zhang Zheng made up his mind, touched Zhang Tong, and drank the wine、、、、、
