Chapter 464: Shen Sanqian
Qingguo's three surnames are Zhao, Long, and Shen.
The Zhao royal family has ruled the Daqing Dynasty for a thousand years, and the Daqing dragon horse swept across the Southern Continent, and was supported and bowed by the people of the Southern Continent, and the status was extremely honorable.
The Long family is the only branch of the Zhao royal family, most of the members of the Long family will serve as members of the Daqing Dragoons in the long history, and the Long family does not know how many dragoons have contributed to the Daqing Royal Family, and even the intermarriage between the two surnames has been staged many times.
In other words, today's Qinghuang must have the blood of the Long family, and the Long family also carries the blood of the Zhao royal family like Long Wumastiff.
The blood of the two family members contains the power of the dragon, and the Shen family is not too involved in their bloodline, but the family status is still the unshakable third surname in the entire thousand-year reign of the Daqing Dynasty.
The history of the Shen family is difficult to trace, and it is not from the southern continent, it is a silk merchant from a certain country in the Northern Regions many years ago, and finally took root and multiplied in Shizheng County of the Daqing Dynasty.
Many years ago, in the civil war set off by Long Xuance, the head of the Long family, the entire Daqing Dynasty was facing a split situation, and many Gaomen families supported Long Xuance's treasonous actions and tried to overthrow the dominance of the Zhao royal family, but the Shen family did not follow the advice of the same Gao family, and the people of the Shen family resolutely supported the power of the Zhao royal family, perhaps because they had great confidence in the birth of Zhao Yao, the "Dragon Empress" at that time.
After the end of this civil war, the Shen family not only survived tenaciously in this civil war that almost destroyed Luoyang City, but was even named by the Zhao royal family as a loyal guardian of the country, and won the great favor of the Dragon Empress Zhao Yao. All of them ended up in the tragic end of a broken family, and the population wealth and most of the land of these families were finally reasonably distributed by Zhao Yao to those families who did not defect in the civil war, and the Shen family was undoubtedly the one who got the most benefits.
This inconspicuous second-rate clan that originally sold silk in the Daqing Dynasty became a wealthy nobleman second only to the Long family after the end of the civil war.
In the following history, the dragoons were all selected from the Long family, but the members of the Shen family were rooted in every corner of the Daqing court, and the existence of this Shen family member could be seen from the second-rank official to the small nine-rank sesame official.
The Shen family doesn't know how many Shangshu and prime ministers have been provided for the entire dynasty, and the people inside are all thousand-year-old kings and treasurers, and their power cannot be underestimated.
In the unattainable Shen family, Shen Sanqian, the head of the Shen family, who has just passed half a hundred years old, once held the position of the head of the household department in the Daqing Imperial Court, and there are countless court officials who have been single-handedly promoted.
Shen Sanqian
In the muddy Daqing court for so many years, coupled with the fact that the Shen family has a wealth comparable to the treasury and a complex and powerful interpersonal network, such an extreme human rights existence, if he successfully returns to his hometown in the imperial court, he will definitely have a place in the Daqing history books.
The former emperor Zhao Huailong was old and frail, and knew that his time was short, so he unloaded the mill and killed the donkey before his death, and privately asked the Yushitai and the Six Branches to impeach Shen Sanqian on trumped-up charges for the people in the matter, demoted him to Guhe City as the governor of the city for life, cut off Shen Sanqian's power in the court, and was not allowed to return to Luoyang City without the emperor's permission.
As soon as this decree came out, the court was in an uproar.
Shen Sanqian accepted the emperor's will without anger or sorrow, and in the third year when he left Luoyang City to become the governor of Guhe City, the emperor died.
Later, after the new monarch Zhao Wentian ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to recall Shen Sanqian, who was far away as the governor of Guhe City, hoping that he could serve as a member of his cabinet, but Shen Sanqian politely refused.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the people in the Qingguo court were speculating why Shen Sanqian didn't come back to the Yang court as an official, but wanted to stay in Guhe City and continue to be his great governor, with the Shen family's financial resources that are so rich and rivaled, there is really no need to make that little profit, or he just wants to get something through this trade city that connects the Southern Continent and the Northern Regions?
The first person Ying Liyang wanted to see when he came to Nanlu this time was Shen Sanqian, who was feared and called "Shen Tai Sui".
In a palatial manor on the island, Shen Sanqian left the Buddhist hall alone, and the maids passing by saw the lord and gave blessings one after another, Shen Sanqian didn't care what they did or didn't do, they stopped and walked in the manor, and finally returned to their own study, the bookcase was full of a dazzling array of rare toys, all with the atmosphere of the world's dynasties and countries, this middle-aged man has always liked to collect these strange and obscene gadgets.
In the glow of dusk, the bookcase near the window was covered with pale yellow afterglow, and the man leaned on the big Nanmu chair worth a thousand gold and gently tossed it, grabbed the handle of the big chair with both hands and shook it gently, closed his eyes and did not move for a long time.
Shen Sanqian seemed to have had a long, long dream, and when he woke up, he stood up from his chair, stood with his hands in his hands and faced the window, and his eyes happened to be able to see the scenery of the entire Guhe City.
Shen Taisui smiled with his face to the north, twisted his fingers around the extremely long mouse whiskers under his nose, and laughed in a low voice: "You are finally here, if you let me wait any longer, maybe you will be able to bring this thought to the coffin." β
Then he saw the slim little daughter, smiling like a little fox beckoning to him under the window.
Shen Taisui smiled happily and beckoned his little daughter to come up to accompany him.
Shen Huayu, who was only the most spoiled by Shen Taisui in the 10,000 families, walked in on tiptoe with his hands behind his back, and sat on the Nanmu chair where Shen Taisui used to work, without the restraint of the younger generations when they saw the elders
In awe, he shouted dad with clear eyes.
Shen Sanqian is not only rich in this life, but he can get everything that can be bought with money, but he has given birth to a total of seven daughters who have worked on women for most of his life, but it is a pity that there is no man with a handle who can inherit his wealth empire Shen Taisui, and every time he thinks of this, he can't help but feel sorry.
Facing the little daughter's clear and moving big eyes, Shen Taisui raised his hand slightly to expel the dead soldiers hiding in the corner, and then smiled at his daughter: "In addition to coming to Guhe City to see Dad, do you want to come and ask Dad to ask for money again? If you want silver, Dad will agree first, and what conditions are there for Dad to agree together." β
The youngest daughter Shen Huayu said with a smile: "Dad, let me tell you, the sixth sister just fell in love with a man, that man seems to be a swordsman, three days and two ends asked the sixth sister to take the silver out to drink, not to mention, but also entangled with other women, and the sixth sister still wants him to be our son-in-law, and also wants to secretly pull me to her camp, first cut and then play and then tell you, where did I do this? I am my father's baby daughter, this is not from the setting sun to Guhe City to tell you, you must not say that I said it." β
Shen Taisui frowned, and Shen Huayu continued: "I have seen that man, his swordsmanship is very ordinary, but it is true that he is handsome and chic, if he comes to be our family's son-in-law, is my father afraid of humiliating the family?"
Shen Taisui pretended to be fierce and said: "Ri damn immortal Banban, go, go to Luoyang City with my father to see the pair of adulterers and adulteresses, that little rabbit cub really doesn't know who my Shen Taisui is, and he actually dares to fuck Lao Tzu's daughter? ! Lao Tzu wants to break his two legs with his own hands, and cut off the third leg and throw it to feed the dogs!"
Shen Huayu, who originally just wanted to make his father laugh, widened his eyes and clapped his hands, gave a thumbs up and said, "Dad is so domineering!"
Shen Taisui gave birth to seven daughters, two of them were widows, these daughters really followed Shen Taisui's character, all shrewdly like fox spirits, between wives and concubines, even if there is a knife hidden in the mouth and belly, the daughters are by no means willing to be a two-legged vase of women, Shen Taisui looked happy when he was there, he just walked with his front foot and his heels before he stepped out of the door, the daughters wanted to tear each other down and fight to the death, they all inherited their father's young and ruthless temperament, and the daughters used to buy murder* There is no shortage of murder and throwing corpses into the river, and none of his daughters can reassure him a little. If he asks for money, it's the best thing for him to solve, and as long as he doesn't use knives in the house, it's fun and easy for him to listen to them making noise.
The wealthy women in Luoyang City are like this, they have been soaked in a honey pot since they were children, whether they grow up or not, they have grown up, except for ruining their own lives and ruining other people's lives, they can't do anything, how many can go with a sword like the eldest princess of Daqing?
Shen Huayu was overjoyed, Shen Taisui didn't look like it at all
As a father, five of the seven daughters are married, except for the eldest and second married to the magnates in Luoyang City, the fourth is a good girl who inherited her father's business and became a female official of the imperial court, as for the third and fifth have been widows in the past two years, the two sisters are colluding together, three days and two heads are entangled with the little white face in Sunset City, and the most promising third child has also climbed a certain dragoon of the dragon king army, thinking of experiencing a time on the clouds** The feeling that no one dared to write a divorce letter about her husband's illness and death, I was afraid that this Shen Taisui would not be able to eat and walk around when she was angry, as for the youngest daughter, she was still well-behaved and pleasing, except for asking him for silver, she had never caused any trouble, and she could be regarded as a child who could talk to her heart.
Shen Huayu just walked out with Shen Taisui, but Shen Taisui suddenly stood at the door, and the little fox hit Shen Taisui's back without a brake, Shen Taisui suddenly patted his head and said with a smile: "No, there are guests coming to see my father tonight." β
Shen Huayu pursed her lips pitifully and hugged her father's arm, Shen Taisui smiled: "Although Dad doesn't go to Sunset, but you bring a message to your sixth sister, saying that you really like that man, let her bring it to Dad to see, Dad has never missed a look, so I can weigh the kid's catties, if I can still see it, Dad will arrange some errands for him to do, if it is done well, it will be considered the right person." As for you, you can go wherever you want, remember to bring enough money, and don't follow your sisters and men to get entangled. β
Shen Huayu, who was called a little fox by him since he was a child, said happily: "Really, then I will stay in Guhe City for two days?"
Shen Taisui nodded lightly and smiled softly: "Go, Dad wants to be alone and quiet." β
Shen Huayu grimaced at him and ran out with a smoke, leaving Shen Taisui alone in the huge study and silent.
finally sent away the noisy little daughter, Shen Taisui finally had time to sit down and think about what to do next, but in his mind was still the group of wives and concubines and daughters who he called relatives, he had been an official in the Daqing Dynasty for many years, but he was in power with one hand and wealth with the other, what kind of beautiful woman had not played, but he had a principle that he would never have anything to do with those people in the Zhao royal family, no matter how they were right, and he would not allow his daughters to be emotionally involved with their descendants, the meaning of which is self-evident. But no matter how beautiful the beautiful daughter is, she still can't inherit his family business, and the Shen family still needs a child with a handle to let him die with confidence, but now the entire Shen family can't wait for him to drive the crane immortal as soon as possible, and he can even imagine that after he dies, those people who divide the family are like hungry crows who divide all his inheritance and wealth, just with the three-legged cat kung fu of those daughters, how to fight wits and courage with those old foxes and old crows, and they will be torn to pieces at once, but he doesn't believe in this evil, and wants to find more young women to work and sow seeds on them, just waiting for them to give him a sonγ
Until he was demoted to Guhe City as a governor by the former emperor five years ago, the idea of inheriting the family line melted and disappeared like ice under the scorching sun, Shen Sanqian knew Zhao Huailong's plan, he had no children under his knees may have become a foregone conclusion, the family's wealth is rivaled by the country, many officials in the court were promoted by themselves, and the extreme human rights and power were so powerful that the old emperor was worried, and he was demoted to Guhe City on a trumped-up charge, just because he was worried that he would control the court officials after his own life and turn his son into a puppet in his handsγ
Shen Sanqian can figure out such an inferior idea with his ass, he has always been a tranquil person who has always been at ease, even if the old emperor demoted him from Luoyang so ruthlessly, he never talked about it, but hid it in his heart.
On the surface, he is Shen Taisui of the Daqing Dynasty, the great governor of Guhe City, and he is one of the elder members of the Shadow Moon Sect behind his back, and he once hired the Zhao royal family to work in his own trading house to help them escape the catastrophe of being slaughtered when the Taoist priests of the Zhao clan dispatched Dragon Tiger Mountain and Wudang Mountain to encircle and suppress the Shadow Moon Sect disciples.
Most of the members of the Shadow Moon Cult are inherited from their fathers, in the long history, this doctrinal organization has almost been annihilated in the vicissitudes of history, and its identity will never be revealed under ordinary circumstances, the followers will be scattered in all directions, existing in a corner of the Southern Continent, each of them has received a "revelation" Everyone is a watchman of the world, they believe that the ancient gods will sweep the world again, and they must build a great wall against the ancient gods in the far north to keep the people of the world away from war.
It's a pity that their ideas were treated as a joke by the kings of the Southern Continent, and even targeted by the Zhao royal family to the point of no return, once their identities were exposed in Qingguo, the end would be beheaded at noon, and even the family would be punished by branding, because their inheritance is characterized by family inheritance.
Shen Sanqian was a disciple of the Shadow Moon Sect a long time ago, and he, like every disciple who joined the sect, saw the "revelation" and also knew about the upcoming battle of the end times, the disciples in the Shadow Moon Sect were not tall, fat, or thin, and their family backgrounds were even more different, but the Great Sect Master stipulated that for the sake of safety, it was not appropriate to interact too much between the disciples and the disciples in private, unless there were special circumstances.
Shen Sanqian has privately used a lot of manpower and material resources to find all the clues related to that "revelation" over the years, but unfortunately it was in vain.
Until recently, he received a new "revelation" that a woman from the Northern Regions would come to see him on a starless and moonless night, that the Lord of the Apocalypse in the teachings of the Shadow Moon would reappear on earth, and all of this was inextricably linked to him, and that when the war came, the King would take all the armies of the world to fight against the enemies outside the Northern Regions, and if they failed, the whole world would be in a catastrophe.
Shen Sanqian, who received this revelation, was so ecstatic, he was once the Great Sect Master of the Shadow Moon Sect sixteen years ago
They got the revelation that the Lord of the Apocalypse came to the world, but the Lord of the Apocalypse did not come to the land of the Southern Continent, but in the countries of the Northern Regions, and in the past two years, the believers they sent got the exact news that the Lord of the Apocalypse had died, which once made this sect fall into a slump and sink mood, and now the new Lord of the Apocalypse has appeared in the world again, how can he not dream of seeing this legendary King of the Apocalypse who will only come to the world before the ancient gods are about to wake up, and his appearance is a precursor to war!
If the general trend of the Great Yin Dynasty in the Northern Regions is all over the world, the power of the Daqing Dynasty is not as strong and prosperous as many years ago, and the change and decline of the dynasty is also the general trend.
Thinking of this, Shen Taisui slowly stood up from his chair, staring at the huge bookcase full of various antiques, looking up at the last afterglow of the sunset, and propping his hands on the table, as if he was in deep thought.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Sanqian suddenly spoke: "Qinggong, come with me to pick up a woman in a while, give me some spirit, you can be trusted to support me." β
A thin man estimated to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old walked out, looking a little weak, but the scar on the back of his hand reminded people of those lone wolves fighting with broken claws on the grassland.
The man's blade-like eyebrows have a hint of ruthlessness, like a lone wolf, as if he will knock you to the ground and kill you in one move if you don't notice it.
