Chapter VIII

The Shangdang Xu clan owned a lot of land in the north, and the most important forces were concentrated in two places - the Wujin mansion in the Changzi County of Shangdang County, and the Xujiawu Fort and Manor outside the Changzi County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The latter occupies nearly 200 hectares of dry and dry land, three mountain forests, nine orchards, and nearly 10,000 people. These people were all tenants and tenants who were not counted in the official register, did not have to serve in the Great Qi and paid taxes, and were under the personal protection of the Xu family. And the east building of Xu's Dock Fort, which was built without a doubt, is the residence of Xu Ze, the lord of Xu's Lang.

Xu Hui's furniture, clothes, books and other things, as early as under the command of Ping's command, the servants, handymen and maids who couldn't stop shuttling moved to the residence arranged by Xu Zexin for Xu Hui one after another. At this time, Xu Hui was sitting in Xu Ze's inner study, telling Xu Ze what he knew about the "future", especially the list of family members who had served as Qing Yao, and the situation of the governors of Jiangnan and Shandong, to see if he could give Xu Ze any help.

"Heng'er married the daughter of the Yingchuan Xun clan, which I expected, but you say, Su Su married into the Lujiang Chen clan?" Xu Ze's index finger tapped rhythmically on the tabletop, and after a moment, he asked, "Do you know the cause and effect?" ”

The juniors and the elders stand at different heights, and the considerations are naturally different, Xu Hui doesn't know what Xu Ze thinks about, so he chose such a marriage for the eldest sister, and he can only say everything he knows: "Grandfather sent Brother Ah to study at Yingchuan Academy, and Brother met many friends in the Academy, including the fifth son of the Lujiang Chen family. Later, my grandfather took my aunt and sister to Yingchuan, where I lived for a while, and decided on my sister's marriage and asked her to marry the brother of the fifth son, the ninth son of the Lujiang Chen family. The granddaughter only took advantage of his wedding to meet him, and saw him a few times, and her appearance and demeanor were extremely outstanding, but she didn't know what her temperament and character were. ”

Hearing Xu Hui say this, Xu Ze frowned tightly and didn't say a word.

Lujiang Chen's family, how can it be Lujiang Chen's?

Seeing that Xu Ze's expression was wrong, Xu Hui cautiously asked, "Grandfather, what's the problem?" ”

Xu Ze pondered for a moment before asking, "Hui'er, do you know the origin of my Xu clan in the party?" ”

Xu Hui nodded, and did not shy away from telling the family's black history: "The ancestors of the Xu family in my party were horse thieves and horse dealers at the beginning, and they did business with their heads and saved a lot of furniture. When natural disasters continued for many years, the people were struggling to make a living, the rebel army rose in all directions, and encountered the invasion of Zhuhu. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, excluding dissidents and fabricating criminal evidence, enjoying and competing for wealth to show off, one by one was powerful, and when the society was in danger, no one could establish an inch of merit. The army was defeated, and the Zhuhu army approached the western capital of Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang. ”

"The ancestor of Great Qi has a life, and those who open up the territory and expand the territory are the first, and those who lose or cede an inch of land are not worthy of being the descendants of the Shen royal family. In order to protect the throne, Emperor Ling crossed to the south and announced to the world and promulgated the 'Decree of Exterminating Hu'. All my people are the people, regardless of whether they are high or low, regardless of their origin, they receive meritorious services with the heads of Hu people, and give official positions according to their merits, leading the righteous army to confront the Hu people. Referring to the past of the rise of the family, Xu Hui looked excited, and his voice was unconsciously high-pitched: "In order to prevent the Wu surname and the overseas Chinese family from stealing merit after the war, slowly differentiating and weakening our forces, the family with the northern surname is each other's in-laws, hugging each other, although there are many dirty internals, but externally, they often advance and retreat together." In addition, the family reveres the Tao and rejects the Buddha, and the Buddhism needs to be for the sake of interests, so it naturally supports the family with the surname Bei. The other party's wrestling has caused the northland to be entrenched in the north, and the appointment and dismissal of the imperial court are obeyed on the surface, but in fact, the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials in the county almost all depend on the words of the family. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Hui looked at Xu Ze, his eyes were clear, and his expression was proud: "The Wu surname and the overseas Chinese surname have always been self-respecting with their family lineage, but in the face of the Hu people, they are like a lost dog, so they can only flee in a hurry, and almost lost half of the Great Qi country, making it stained with fishy flesh. Although the ancestors of the Xu family of my party came from a humble background, they worked with many men to protect the family and the country with their blood and save the country. Although after marrying into the Xie family of Chen County, because of the origin of the family surnamed Bei, she was regarded as a Han clan, and she was stabbed many times openly and secretly, but her granddaughter was proud of being born in the Xu family of the party from beginning to end. ”

"There is no shortage of stupid beetles, and there are some Masters in the humble family." Hearing that Xu Hui, who married into the high family, did not look down on his family background like some noble girls with the surname Bei, and felt inferior, Xu Ze couldn't help nodding lightly, and asked Xu Hui again, "How is Your Majesty's health?" ”

His Majesty's ...... Body?

Hearing Xu Ze's words, Xu Hui suddenly thought of some kind of possibility, and his voice was already trembling: "Your Majesty's health is excellent, and there are no disasters and diseases, but ...... But over the years, he has firmly believed in the art of immortality in Taoism, and has become more and more ignorant of the government. If, if His Majesty takes some pill and something bad happens, and the Chenjun Xie clan wants to rebel, it can be completely explained. After all, Concubine Xie Guifei, who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, is Xie Lun's aunt, and the surname Wu and the surname Qiao wrestled again......"

"The Chenjun Xie clan is quite influential in the court and the harem, but in terms of military strength, it is far inferior to the surnames Lu, Gu, and Wednesday in the surname Wu, even if you want to rebel, you don't have that ability." Xu Ze said firmly, "The one who really plans to rebel is the Zhending Guo family." ”

Hearing Xu Ze say this, Xu Hui's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't believe his grandfather's judgment: "Really set Guo's family? How is this possible? ”

Zhending Guo is the maiden family of Guo Shengtong, the founding queen of Daqi, and is also the first family of Daqi. This family has produced many authoritarian relatives, domineering courtiers, and has also been beaten by the emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty for many rounds, but it is still standing, and it can only punish the evil, but cannot destroy the whole clan. After the royal family crossed to the south, the two brothers who were the heads of the Guo family at that time were one prime minister and the other was the great Sima, and their power was above the royal family. Even though these two people have passed away, the position of Da Sima has been occupied by the Zhending Guo family for generations, and Queen Guo, who has the crown prince, is the sister of Da Sima.

The big family surnamed Wu is the eldest son of the emperor to succeed to the throne, and he is willing to give it a go, but it makes sense, but it really determines the Guo family...... It doesn't make sense at all! Besides, the rebellion of the Guo clan of the leader surnamed Qiao is something that the Wu family can't ask for, how could Xie Lun watch her die? Bad friends with the Shangdang Xu clan?

Thinking of this, Xu Hui paused, tried to suppress the gradual spread of her heart, made her feel cold all over her body, and asked what she thought in her heart: "How did my grandfather conclude that he wanted to rebel against the Guo family?" If that's as you judge...... The Chen Jun Xie family is a big family surnamed Wu, and because of the relationship between the emperor's eldest son and biological mother, it is impossible to stay out of the matter. The surname Qiao and the surname Wu have been fighting endlessly over the years, and they have rarely interacted with each other, and they have not even considered marriage. At this time, who can win the support of the family surnamed Bei, even if it is not said to win, the chance of winning is seven or eight points, why would Xie Lun ...... Kill me? ”
