"Seeds? What seeds? Li Fu asked.

"There are seeds of trouble, seeds of hope." Toast pondered for a moment, then continued.

"The female head of the family not only attacked the elders in the family, but even her descendants did not let go. Forced to commit suicide or evicted from their homes. For a time, there was no opposition in the family. However, the opposition in the family did not stop there, and several of the side lines still followed the old scholar's last wish before his death. is willing to take the exiled foreign minister's room back to his home and regain control of the family. ”

Just when their plan was at a critical point, they did not expect that one of the collateral factions would go to the informant for their status in the family and reveal the whole plan and the plate. The female head of the family was furious, and killed all the side forces who planned this matter. But these elders are not idle. Hide this secret in a place that no one could have thought of. At this, a smile of relief appeared on Toast's face, as if he was very satisfied with the choice of this secret hiding place. Or is the toast himself the elders he calls it?

"And what about later? Is the eldest son of the old scholar still alive? ”

Li Fu and the three of them listened carefully to the toast and slowly narrated this scene, like the elders of the family telling the story of their youth to the three little grandchildren.

"For a long time, people in the family thought that Yimai had not survived the cleansing of the female head of the family. However, no matter how carefully you sweep it, there will still be some seeds left. In that vein, after all, he still lived through the era when the female head of the family was in power. Toast sighed slightly.

"What happened later almost split the huge family in two. For the sake of her own rule, the female head of the family began to cultivate forces that were only loyal to herself, so as to suppress the people in the family on a large scale, and wanted to imprint all the property in the family with her own mark. What makes the elders of the clan unbearable is that the female head of the family not only wants to make her mark in the family, but even wants to turn the entire family into herself, so as to change the court. ”

Speaking of which, for some reason, a hint of anger flashed in the toast's tone.

"The female head of the family eradicated the dissidents, tried in vain to change the family name and rewrite the family tree that had been running for generations, and even the spiritual positions of those ancestors were almost removed. It is also because of this move of the female head of the family that several surviving descendants of the previous head of the family understand: If it continues like this, then the family court will be replaced sooner or later. ”

"Maybe it's for the family, maybe it's for myself to be the head of the family. In short, these surviving brothers unite with the intention of overthrowing their mother. Therefore, they not only relied on their own strength in the family, but also relied on the power of a hostile family, but the ending was very bad. The brothers each had their own agenda, not only to overthrow the rule of the female head of the family, but also to ensure that they could ascend to the position of the head of the family. And then there was one dehumanizing killing after another........"

The old wine toasted and sighed, and there seemed to be tears in his slightly closed eyes.

Taibao, who had been silent on the side, slowly spoke: "Teacher, or I will be here today." You are old, why bother to worry about these old things. ”

The old toast waved his hand, opened his eyes and looked at the three young men in the hall, his eyes showed a look of memory, and the past experiences kept passing through his mind, and then he shook his head and sighed.

"There are some things that don't go away over time. If we wait for future generations to take those revised and embellished books and preach the so-called 'facts', it is better for me to tell the truth from the mouth of a dying man. ”

Tai Bao was silent, for a long time, and sighed.

"Toast, you said it. The offspring of the firstborn still have seeds. So, did the offspring of the eldest son never return to the family? Chu Ge asked respectfully.

Not only him, but Li Fu and Yang Zixu are also very curious about this. Out of respect for the toast, the toast was never interrupted.

"That seed has always been there, blessed by the hands of several deceased elders in the family. I didn't wait for the right time, but there are some things that are yours, and even if others snatch them, they will eventually return to you. That year, three teenagers accidentally discovered a secret hidden by several old men. One of them is the descendant of the long house. At that time, the family had been quiet for a long time, and the descendant did not want to compete for the position of the head of the family. After all, he didn't grow up in a family and wasn't interested in that cold, blood-filled position. ”

But those of the tribe who knew the inside story did not think so. Although there have been three generations of heads of the family, some people believe that the position of the head of the family does not belong to the line that sits on it now. The old man's last words before his death, after all, there are still people who are abiding by them. This thought has never been broken. Toast looked at Chu Ge and chuckled.

"Lord Toast, do you think that descendant should sit in that position? If he didn't want to, why did he have to force him? Li Fu was silent, and said lightly after a while.

"Good question! None of them had asked the descendants about their wishes, and they took it for granted that he should sit in that place. It doesn't matter whether that descendant is willing to be the head of the family or not. At the end of the day, it's either foolishness or greed. I have thought about this question for a long time, and people's hearts are always incomprehensible. A hint of relief flashed in the toast's eyes, and he nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with Li Fu's statement.

Yes, if he doesn't want to, why force a person who is separated by several generations to sit in that position? Is it just foolish to help this descendant so hard? Isn't this human greed?

"And then?" Yang Zixu said the most words today, I'm afraid these three words.

"Later...... Later, that descendant was played by the ruler at the time. He trusts others too easily, but he doesn't know that he can't allow others to snore on the side of the couch. But after all, there are still many 'foolish and loyal' people in the family, who have preserved his bloodline. As time passed, the descendants of the eldest son gradually moved away from the center of family power, and were sheltered by the descendants of the old gentleman who had guarded them. And the feud and ambition in the family continues. The toast's expression was quite emotional.

The three of them looked at the toast in a daze, is this gone?

"Lord Toast, do you think the old scholar did the right thing back then? If he hadn't killed his brother back then, why would he be now? Li Fu frowned slightly and said softly.

"It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. can only say that no one can say anything about ambition. Toast was silent for a moment, shook his head and sighed, his expression quite emotional.

Toast looked at the three vigorous teenagers in front of him, and his eyes were full of indescribable tolerance. Then he stretched out his thin palm, touched Li Fu's cheek, and patted Yang Zixu's shoulder. Laughed:

"The day before yesterday, were you satisfied with the gift I gave you both?"

"Gifts?"

Li Fu and Yang Zixu looked at each other, and the two of them understood.

Why did Yang Zixu not enter the top three, there will be a reward, and it is much heavier than the gift of the third place, it turns out that this is the meaning of toasting. Moreover, the prizes for this year's Lantern Festival will be really ...... It's too heavy. Even Taizong's dragon spear was taken out as a reward, and it turned out that it was arranged for toasting.

"But why did you reward the three of us with such a precious treasure?" Yang Zi was puzzled.

"The current situation of Datang is far worse than what you see, I hope that one day, you can keep the foundation of these 800 years. Over the years, I have seen the pattern of the DPRK and China more clearly than you, but it is not only the hidden dangers of the DPRK and the CCP, but also the frontiers...... Whether it is Rong Di or Beiyan. If one day, the Tang Dynasty collapses, I hope that the heavenly policy established by Taizong can protect my people in the Tang Dynasty. Toasters were all worried.
