Even in the Tang Dynasty, the four families were not as famous as the previous dynasties, but the situation of the more and more disdainful of the Zhuan Sun family remained unchanged.

Until the action secretly initiated by Empress Wu, the remnants of the Guanlong Group were bought and instigated to suppress the Han gate lord forces in various places, and the most direct victims were Shandong Gaomen and the Southern Shi clan, Cui and Lu surnames were among them.

So the four families found the Yuansun family, don't ignore the potential energy of the Yuansun family who has abdicated for sixty or seventy years, the super family that was once the prime minister of a high position, since there is a determination to retreat bravely, it is bound to have the means of self-protection guaranteed by the royal family surnamed Li.

If the Zhuan Sun family launched a counterattack desperately, it would be contrary to their original intention of deciding to withdraw, and there was no doubt that taking advantage of this excellent opportunity to openly warn certain forces would have twice the result with half the effort.

Coupled with Li Zhi's influence in the army surnamed Li at that time, seeing that the close-knit Zhuan Sun family was being oppressed, he used this to issue his own demands, and the imperial court would really only accept it and come forward to thoroughly investigate all those forces who were related to the remnants of the Guanlong Group.

Cui and Lu surnames are the real cultural elites of the Han nationality, and they are the main targets of suppression and crackdowns, so that the bloodline forces of the Yuansun family outside Shandong are elbowed everywhere and are oppressed from time to time.

Since then, the old prestige of the Zhuan Sun family has revived, and their son-in-law Li Zhi has become stronger day by day, until he was given the title of first-class loyal and righteous king, and the four clans no longer dared to have his intentions.

You must know that more than ten years ago, these forces also united to put pressure on the Zhuansun family to hand over the top brocade weaving technology.

It was only after this time that they knew that the original Zhensun family was far from being as unbearable as they imagined, and with the extraordinary protrusion of Zhengqing Wenqitang, accompanied by Li Zhi's notoriety in the cultivation world, the long-lost desire to be a courtier quietly rose in the humanity of the four family scholars.

This is not a joke, exterminating the sect, slaughtering the family, killing two thousand people overnight, and no one in the entire cultivation world came forward to interfere, what it means, these veteran warrior clans know better than anyone else.

Compared with the three of them, the Lu family in Taiyuan knows more in detail, and the Lu family is the direct beneficiary of the cause of the incident of the Guanghui Temple of the Great Locust Tree.

The next thirteen martial arts families raised from the collapse of the cultivation force, and let them see the other side of Li Zhi, you must know that it is a martial family, and the representative figure is the future empress.

Therefore, the group had just entered the Langya Mountain boundary two days later, and the three families of Wang, Zheng, and Cui were already waiting early.

This mountain is not Bilangya Mountain, but the collective name of Yishan, Mengshan, and Nishan, a place of heaven and earth, and the hometown of Tanzi, Zengzi, Xunzi, Wang Xizhi, and Zhuge Liang.

Wang Yan was the first to come forward, the current head of the Wang family, who has had eight queens in the family history, naturally wanted to pay tribute to Princess Taiping first.

The Wang family is also the only one of the four families who has no actual connection with the bloodline of the Zhuansun family, but the descendants of the Zhuansun family who were loyal and good hundreds of years ago.

Cui Cheng Cui Wanqi is an old acquaintance of Li Zhi, and he follows Cui Yan, the head of the Cui family.

The head of the Zheng family is called Zheng Yihe, and these people are all Yuran's uncles.

Since it is a scholar clan, there is no shortage of cultivators among them, but most of them are raised by the family, only Cui Cheng and Cui Wanqi are considered an outlier among the elders of the four major families, and the current first-level master realm is of course under the support of Li Zhi.

It is located in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and has believed in Confucianism for generations, so Cui Cheng's Taoist cultivation will be called an outlier, but it is precisely because of his realm that he is valued by the four schools at this time.

Of course, there is also part of Li Zhi's reason for this, who made him the first person to have a relationship with him.

Therefore, after a period of greetings, Cui Cheng was naturally pushed to Li Zhi's side, and he needed to understand the purpose of Li Zhi and Taiping coming.

"This is not a place to talk, I'm afraid it's still dozens of miles away from the Wang family's compound, right? Uncle Cui, let's go home and have a deep talk! Li Zhi said with a smile.

But whenever the royal family travels, there are people in front of them, Princess Taiping is the body of His Royal Highness, and naturally there will be soldiers who will notify the three families in advance, and they will be greeted dozens of miles away.

In order to dispel the suspicions of the Xue family, Taiping would of course choose the entourage proposed by Xue Shao, so Jiao Jianxiu, the bookkeeper and master, followed.

However, Master Jiao was picked up by Taiping, and he also has a little relationship with the surname Li, and he is half of Taiping's teacher when he was a child, so along the way, Taiping and Li Zhizhi were in a carriage, anyway, there were two palace maids in the car.

Except for Master Jiao's carriage, the rest of the people are just hanging fast horses, that is, Feng Xia and Yurong, and they are not qualified to ride in the carriage.

The Wang's compound is a scene in Langya, a fully enclosed castle-like building complex, with a total of more than 230 large and small courtyards, more than 2,000 houses, and an area that stretches for several miles.

The main courtyard is the front hall and the back bedroom-style layout, the residences of people with different identities, and the courtyards with different functions are cleverly arranged in a limited space in accordance with the feudal hierarchy, and the artistic framework of the courtyard is formed, the door is in the door, the courtyard is stacked on top of each other, and the artistic structure is scattered.

The main courtyard of the Wang's compound, there is a pavilion in the courtyard, the beam of the mortise and tenon structure is engraved with the words "Confucianism of the generations", there is a stone table under the pavilion, the brick carving under the eaves is delicate, and the wooden window lattice is exquisitely made.

Then all the way to the east to the main courtyard hall, despite the vicissitudes of life, it is still beautiful as a fine carving, and from the tall majesty of the Guangliang gate, you can vaguely imagine the glory of the Wang family in those years.

Entering it, you must first arrange a place for a group of people, Taiping, Li Zhi was arranged in a two-story high-rise building with blue bricks and gray tiles, it is explained that this is a certain Jin Dynasty queen of the Wang family lady embroidery building, along the indoor wooden ladder, to the top of the building, you can overlook the compound, the surrounding scenery in full view.

Although this embroidery building is hundreds of years old, due to the meticulous maintenance and repair, there is no sense of obsolescence, but it looks brand new compared to the main courtyard hall that I have visited before.

And the beams and pillars are thick, engraved with python dragon, unicorn, flying crane, dancing wind and other flower ornaments, only the wall tiles are engraved with figures, beasts and pavilions and other patterns.

Accompanying the watcher was Wang Qinyi, a handsome lady of the Wang family and Yuran's generation, who was obviously a scene character who had received profound Confucian etiquette teachings, and the third granddaughter of the head of the family, Wang Yan.

Like other wealthy families, the Wang family also strengthened its position through constant marriages with the royal family and other clans.

This Wang Qinyi's mother is the eldest lady of the Lu family in Taiyuan, and her grandmother is the queen of the Chen Guohuan family.

When she asked about Wang Xizhi's former residence, Wang Qinyi smiled in a soft tone: "The Wang family is divided into four lines and seventy-six branches, and Yi Shaozu is the other branch, and the childhood residence is more than thirty miles away from here!" ”

Taiping covered his mouth and laughed lightly, not forgetting to give Li Yi, who was also snickering beside him, and then feigned anger: "Mr. Li is laughing at the palace? ”

Li Zhiben shook his head with a big face: "Your Highness is too careful, I am impressed by the profound heritage of Confucius and Mencius, and I can feel the profound meaning of Confucianism. ”

Knowing that he was talking nonsense, Taiping glared at him fiercely, twisted his thin waist and walked down the steps, Li Zhi whispered to Wang Qinyi, who was also covering his mouth:

"Her Royal Highness the dignified princess also has times when she is embarrassed, and I know that the real residence of the book saint is in Shengzhou Jintingguan!"

Wang Qinyi is still young, but she is sixteen or seventeen years old.

Of course, she can see that there is a problem between Li Zhi and Taiping, which is also because Taiping knows that the three families in Shandong will be the family surnamed Li in the future, so there is no more sense of avoidance, not to mention that there is only this little girl by her side at the moment.

At this time, Princess Taiping, who was walking in front, heard Li Zhi's whisper, turned her head sharply and wanted to be angry, and was quietly instructed by Li Zhi to Master Jiao, who was waiting downstairs, she was counted as giving up.

Langya belongs to Yizhou County, and Luoyang belongs to Henan Province, Henan Province Jiedu envoy was originally Li Liang, after being dismounted by Li Zhi, it was Li Xia of the royal family surnamed Li, and he was waiting in the hall of the main courtyard at this moment.

Compared with Li Liang, Li Xia's qualifications cannot be combined with the three states of Guannei Province, Henan Province, and Hedong Province, and his status is much lower than the former.

Hundreds of years ago, the royal family compound on the ancient business road post station didn't look at Li Liang very much before, which was due to the arrogance of the Shandong scholars.

It is also a similar reason to be able to add the same amount of courtesy to the new festival envoy before, but there is still no in-depth handover.

Therefore, Li Xia came here, it was the second time he came to the door, the last time was after he took office, Princess Taiping Yi came here, Li Xia categorically did not dare to delay a little, and also came overnight.

Compared with Taiping, this person is more afraid of Li Zhi, his predecessor's fall is his doing, and there is Shang Fangjian for the royal family surnamed Li in hand, Li Xia's attitude is very respectful, even if he is a junior who is not too far away from the king of the Eight Kings.

Langya has a long history and is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization.

500,000 years ago, human ancestors created ancient civilizations on this land; Remnants of early Paleolithic culture from 200,000 years ago; More than 3,000 years ago, humans here began to master the art of brewing and using stones to cure diseases.

The Wang family was a prominent family name in the two Jin Dynasty periods, and they were officials for generations, but due to the complex class struggle, national struggle and internal struggle of the ruling class at that time, they were inevitably hit repeatedly, experienced ups and downs, and even fell into decline.

Some of them were killed by the rebels, some were killed or wounded by the internal struggles of the ruling class, and by the time of the Southern Dynasties, although the Wang family still had officials, their status and influence were much less than before.

Although the Wang family had also tried to maintain the gate valve system, it was to no avail, and by the time of Chen's death, the power of the Wang family was obviously not as majestic as it was during the Two Jin Dynasty.

This situation is similar to that of the Zhuansun family, with whom the Wang family was closely associated with them at the end of the Chen Dynasty, and the Zhuansun clan was the descendant of the ancient sage Yu Shunfei at that time.

The surname of Zhuansun is a very ancient Han surname, one of which is derived from Langya, which originated from Confucius's disciple Zhuansun Shi, and was not ranked among the seventy-two sages, because the secrets of Zhuansun's body are too unknown.

It's not that there are more dark meanings, but the clansmen scattered in various countries at that time were too famous and had too far-reaching influence, and Sun Shi took the initiative to withdraw, for fear of provoking countless enemies for the Confucian Mansion.

Because in ancient times, many small countries had descendants of the Sun family, and most of the provincial texts were changed to a single surname Sun.

The complex and harsh class struggle year after year caused most of the descendants of the Zhuan Sun family to change their surnames, and the Dongzhushan Zhushan Zhusun family also dared to change their ancestral surnames after resigning from the officialdom and vowing not to get involved in political affairs again.
