Chapter VIII Abolition of Ancestral Teachings

When Yunmeng Zhenren left Huayang Villa, Su Qi didn't stay in the pavilion for too long.

After leaving, Su Qi came to Huayang Villa, in the northwesternmost temple, where the Su family from the ancestors to the present has passed away from the Su family.

Su Qi came to the door of the ancestral hall, pushed the door and walked in.

Looking at the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the Su family for generations inside, Su Qi felt a trace of melancholy in his heart.

On the one hand, there are the ancestral teachings that have been handed down by the Su family, and on the other hand, the problems that the Su family has always been worried about, and the sudden appearance of Yunmeng Zhenren today, and the words to his book puppet make it really difficult for Su Qi to choose.

Thinking of what the Su family will face in the future, Su Qiwe made a total of extremely important decisions in his heart, and even this decision would make him lose his position as the owner, but he still had to do so.

After staying silently in the ancestral hall for a while, Su Qi turned around and left.

Walking all the way out of the ancestral hall, Su Qi did not walk towards his courtyard, but walked towards the grove behind the villa.

In the woods, it was the Su family's clan relatives who lived again, and Su Qi came all the way to the pavilion where the Su family's clansmen lived in the woods.

Standing in front of the door of the attic, which was only two stories high, Su Qi raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying, "Su Qi, the current head of the Su family, has something to see his relatives." ”

After Su Qi's words fell, the door of the pavilion was opened from the inside, and a white-haired old man in plain clothes stood inside the door, looked at Su Qi, and said, "It turned out to be the owner of the village, please go inside." ”

Su Qi nodded at the visitor, and followed him into the attic.

In the hospitality room in the attic, the three Su family relatives looked at Su Qi who was sitting on the first place, and the old man who welcomed Su Qi into the attic just now, said, "I don't know why the owner of the village came to the sect this time?" ”

Since Su Qi became the owner of the Su family for more than 20 years, he has never specifically looked for a clan relative for anything. Seeing that he actually came in person this time, the three elders of the Su family didn't know what Su Qi was doing?

Or is Su Qi going to give Su Ran the position of the owner of the Zen village?

Su Qi looked at the several clan elders present, and after hesitating for a while, Su Qi sighed deeply and said, "Su Qi came here this time to disturb the elders, I am really ashamed, but this matter is a matter of the survival of my Su family, Su Qi did not dare to make the decision alone, so he came to discuss with a few elders." ”

Hearing Su Qi's words, the three Su family elders were all shocked. One person said, "The survival of the Su family?" What the hell is going on? ”

The Su family has been standing in the Celestial Empire for more than a hundred years, and has never offended any major force, or has never had a grudge with any family. The Su family has always adhered to the teachings of the ancestors, and there has never been a child of the Su family entering the office, how can there be anything that shakes the century-old foundation of the Su family?

Glancing at the reaction of the elders of the Su family, Su Qi then said in a deep voice, "Presumably, the affairs of the Su family, all the elders know better than Su Qi, and the affairs of the Su family will sooner or later be known by the royal family of the Celestial Empire." ”

Su Qi paused his words and looked at the reactions of the Su family clan elders present.

Seeing that they had a worried look on their faces after listening to their words, Su Qi continued to speak, "Yunmeng Zhenren once came to the villa to inform that the star of Huayang Villa has appeared, and this is the only time that the Su family can stand in the Celestial Empire for thousands of years. ”

Several clan elders of the Su family know that Yunmeng is master is a well-known Tianjizi in the rivers and lakes, who can observe the heavens and see the future of people, so if Yunmeng is a real person, the Su family's clan relatives will identify what Su Qi said every time they think about it.

"What does Yunmeng Zhenren mean by this? No woman was born in the Su family, and it has always been a single lineage. A clan elder asked.

Seeing that the elder of the Su family asked about it, Su Qi slowly spoke, and said, "This time Su Qi came over, the final thing is what Su Qi wants to say next." ”

After a pause for a second, Su Qi continued, "The Su family started from the ancestors, and the free ancestral teachings have been passed down for more than a hundred years. The Su family is the royal family of the Zhao family, and they are incognito but afraid that the Zhao royal family will find out, so they have not allowed the children of the Su family to enter the official career, and can only do business from generation to generation. ”

"Now, there is a real person in Yunmeng who warns that it is time for the Su family's family motto to change."

After Su Qi's words fell, he was immediately unanimously denied by the three elders of the Su family.

"The ancestral teachings of the Su family have been passed down from the ancestors, how can it be said that change will change, and the owner of the village is ignoring the words of the ancestors?"

It was the Great Elder of the Su Family who had not spoken out all this time.

"Moreover, the ancestors left the descendants of the Su family back then, and none of them were allowed to enter the official career, only the ancestral training, that is, for the descendants of the Su family to enter the official career in the court, they would be discovered by the Zhao royal family. The owner of the village now says that he wants to abolish the ancestral teachings of the ancestors and establish a new ancestral teachings, which is disregarding the safety of the Su family? ”

The words of the Great Elder were echoed by the other two elders, and they said, "The ancestral teachings of the Su family cannot be abolished. ”

Su Qi looked at the reactions of the three clan elders of the Su family, just as he expected.

Then Su Qi spoke, "The worries of the three elders, Su Qi has also thought about them. But can the elders guarantee that the children of the Su family will not enter the official career, and will they really be able to hide the secrets of the Su family all the time, so that no one knows about it, and it is not known by the Zhao royal family? ”

Su Qi's question made the three clan elders instantly speechless. The Su family has not been discovered by the Zhao royal family so far, how can they guarantee that the Su family's secret will not be discovered by the Zhao royal family in the future?

"Then according to the owner's wishes, abolish the ancestral training of the Su family and let the children of the Su family enter the official career, so as to ensure that the affairs of the Su family will not be discovered by the Zhao royal family? Or does the Zhao royal family find out and will not shake the Su family? ”

When the Great Elder said this, Su Qi also asked himself in his heart. Even if the ancestral training of the Su family is abolished and the descendants of the Su family are allowed to enter the official career, it can be guaranteed that the Zhao royal family will not deal with the Su family after discovering the matter of the Su family?

Although the Su family is now a big family, and the Su family's business is all over you, if the royal family of the Celestial Empire wants to suppress the Su family, it will not be an easy task.

But the Su family started from the ancestors, and after a hundred years, it developed into the Su family that is now rich and rivaled. For the hard work left by the ancestors for several generations, as the blood of the Su family, how could they bear to let the Su family face something that shakes the foundation.

"Since Yunmeng Zhenren said that above the Su family, there is a Dihuang Star, this is the only chance for the Su family, and there must be nothing wrong."

Listening to Su Qi's explanation without any certainty, the three clan elders still insisted on their own principles and did not agree with Su Qi's abolition of the Su family's ancestral teachings.

The Great Elder stood up, looked at Su Qi who was sitting on the throne, and said, "You must not act recklessly in this matter, you are the current owner of my Su family, you can't ignore the Su family's century-old foundation and abolish the ancestral training because of Yunmeng Zhenren's words, I will not agree to the three of us, and I hope that the owner of the village will think twice." ”

When Su Qi heard this, he looked at the three elders of the Su family opposite and said, "Since Su Qi became the owner of the Su family, he has been conscientiously taking care of the Su family, making the Su family's business bigger and bigger, and he has never done anything harmful to the Su family. ”

"This matter is related to the lives of more than 10,000 people in the Su family, as well as the century-old foundation of the Su family, so I specially came to discuss with the elders. If the elders can give Su Qi an affirmative answer, and can guarantee that in the next hundreds or thousands of years, they can guarantee that the affairs of the Su family will not be discovered by the Zhao royal family, then Su Qi should abide by the ancestral teachings of the Su family, and the descendants of the Su family will not be allowed to enter the official career. ”

Su Qi's words made the three clan elders of the Su family dissatisfied, and the eldest elder was unhappy in the center, looking at Su Qi, and said in an unkind tone, "What does the owner mean by this that the Su family's ancestral training will be abolished even if you don't get the consent of our three sects?" ”

The Great Elder paused and glanced at Su Qi, and then continued, "If the owner of the village ignores the ancestral training of the Su family and insists on abolishing the ancestral training of the Su family, then I and the other three will be blamed for opening the ancestral hall and abolishing the position of the head of the family. ”

If the Su family has any major matters related to the Su family's foundation, the Su family's ancestral training has stipulated that the head of the family must obtain the consent of the Su family's clan elders before it can be implemented. But the three elders can't dominate the decision of the head of the family, everything still has to be decided by the head of the Su family.

However, if the head of the family does something that damages the foundation of the Su family or the interests of the Su family, the elders of the clan can open a ancestral hall to abolish the head of the family.

The Great Elder's words did not surprise Su Qi in any way, as early as he decided to come here to talk about this matter to the three clan relatives, Su Qi was ready to abolish the position of the head of the village in his heart.

I only heard Su Qi after the words of the great elder fell, and said, "The ancestral training of the Su family, Su Qi will definitely be abolished, and after the abolition of the ancestral training of the Su family, Su Qiding will open the ancestral hall, explain the guilt to the people of the Su family, and voluntarily give up the position of the owner." ”

Seeing Su Qi's insistence, he would rather not be the owner of the village than abolish the ancestral training of the Su family, which shows that his mind has been decided. The three clan elders glanced at each other, shook their heads, and then sighed, "The Su family's century-old foundation, I didn't expect it to be destroyed now, we are worthy of the ancestors of the Su family." ”

If the Great Elders knew that when they were here to discuss whether to abolish the Su family's ancestral training, Su Ran, as the next generation of Su family owners, would have already ignored the fact that the descendants of the Su family in the Su family's ancestral training were not allowed to enter the official career, let alone have contact with the people in the court, and entered the Yuzhou military camp.

Now in order to collect grain and grass for the army, the Su family's money village in Yuzhou has long been emptied, and even the Su family's rice in Yuzhou is buying a large amount of rice from other merchants at a high price for the army.

I wonder how Su Qi and the three clan elders of the Su family who know about this will react? Whether to open a ancestral hall for Su Qi to abolish the ancestral teachings and abolish Su Qi's position as the owner.

After a long silence, the Great Elder calmed down his dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, looked at Su Qi, and said in a cold and hard tone, "The owner of the village is so insistent, we can't stop it, I hope the owner of the village will do it himself." ”

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves angrily, and as the other two elders left the reception room, Su Qi sat on the main seat and watched the departure of the three elders without making a sound.
