Chapter 54: The Eight Great Princes
Seeing a few people frozen there, Gao Feng took half a step back, approached Li Qikun and asked, "Big brother, who is this?" After speaking, he pouted at Lan Gongzi.
Li Qikun pulled the peak and took a few steps back, came to the back of a big tree, and said, "Have you heard of the Eighth Prince?" ”
I was puzzled by Li Qikun's retreat, but there were still people he was afraid of in the county? Hearing his question again, Gao Feng was even more confused, what is the Eighth Prince? The four great talents or the four beauties have heard of it, but they are not people of this era!
Seeing that Gao Feng shook his head speechlessly, his face puzzled, Li Qikun continued: "Gu Du Shi Yan, Huangbai Zhulan, these eight people are known as the eight princes of the county, and basically everyone in the city knows about it. ”
Li Qikun actually hid a sentence, you are usually in the countryside, and it is normal not to know these people.
If you don't think about going into the city, Gao Feng really doesn't want to know about these people, whether you are the eighth prince or the top ten talents, whether it is a cow god or a horse face, it is all my business.
Not now, these people are the head snake here, and the strong dragon is not the head snake, not to mention that he is not a dragon, but a businessman who eats for a bowl of rice.
There is no point in learning and learning, and it doesn't hurt to know more about some things, at least when you meet these people in the future, you will have a bottom in your heart.
"Gu Du Shi Yan, Huang Bai Zhu Lan, Lan is this Lan Gongzi, what about the other seven sons?" Gao Feng asked.
"Hehe, brother, don't worry, listen to me slowly." Li Qikun chuckled and said, "It is said that it is the eighth prince, but this statement is actually wrong." ”
"Oh? Isn't it eight? Gao Feng asked in surprise.
"Eight people are not bad, and they are also eight sons, and they can even be said to be the most famous eight sons in the county, but they are two types of people, so if they are collectively called the eight sons, some people will disagree, and they will even cause trouble." Li Qikun explained.
"Who would disagree?" Gao Feng asked.
"At least eight people don't agree with each other, let's divide these eight people into two categories first. Gu Du Shi Yan is a group of four people, they advocate martial arts, are good at fighting, and gather people to make trouble, so they have the title of Wu Gongzi. Yellow, white, vermilion and blue four people worship literature, although they can occasionally bite and chew words, but they also like to sound and lust, they are a category, and they have the title of Wen Gongzi. Therefore, Gongzi Wen and Gongzi Wu were divided into two factions, both of them looked down on Wu, Wu looked down on Wen, they were not convinced by each other, and they often clashed when they met each other, so the title of the Eight Princes was okay to talk about in private, and they must not mention it in front of the eight people, otherwise they would all jump up. Li Qikun said.
Gao Feng then understood that there was still this kind of attention in the eight-person room, and this situation was not in line with the national conditions of the Great Song Dynasty? The civilian and military attaches were not convinced by each other, and the contradictions between them were very conspicuous.
Fortunately, the military attache in the Song Dynasty had a low status, that is, the same rank, and the military attache was also three points lower in front of the civil officials, which made the country stable.
Of course, this kind of stability is only relative, or it is confined to the country, and sometimes even only to the court. This kind of civil and military imbalance in the situation, under the long-term effect, leads to the result that the country seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is a paper tiger, and it cannot withstand the impact of external forces at all.
The peak of the country's affairs doesn't dare to think much for the time being, after all, it is too far away, but if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the county seat, he will definitely have a lot of intersections with the eight princes, and whether he can handle the relationship with them is a very important matter.
Of course, this so-called good handling is not to buy good, but to find their weaknesses and break them one by one, and more importantly, to take advantage of the contradictions between the eight people, so as to divide them.
Seeing that Gao Feng was thinking, Li Qikun was not in a hurry, until he came back to his senses, he continued: "The eight princes are actually from the eight most powerful families, and the reason why they are famous is not only because of their personal reasons, but also because of their families, so what outsiders are really afraid of is not the eight themselves, but the forces behind them." ”
This is true, a person who has no power behind him is a fart in the eyes of everyone, even if he is arrogant, he will not make many waves. Just like Gao Feng, you have to be careful in everything you do, and you don't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, for fear of offending others, and even being afraid of provoking others' eyes, just because you are lonely and have no power, what a humiliating thing!
"There are so many forces in one county? Which is higher or lower than the big brother compared to them? Gao Feng couldn't help asking.
In his eyes, Li Qikun is also a powerful and powerful person, why doesn't the Li family have a little overlord coming out? If even Li Qikun can't be ranked, then how strong the other party must be, and there are as many as eight, this is too scary.
Gao Feng even remembered himself, even if he could make money again, he would not be able to reach the level of Li Qikun for a while, that is to say, coming to the county seat by himself was a piece of cake at all, and others would not take it seriously.
"Hehe, don't mention me, I'm old, I can't compare with them, even the descendants can't learn from them, otherwise sooner or later they will be the goods of the cheat." Li Qikun said with a smile.
He wanted to divert the topic, it seems that Li Qikun doesn't want to show off his wealth, let alone act in a high-profile manner, which is in line with his character.
However, Gao Feng still heard some information from it, at least Li Qikun's power is no worse than those families, and even leads to it, there are more low-key families, they are also powerful, but they are usually inconspicuous.
Of course, as soon as Li Qikun's word "pit dad" came out, it almost made Gao Feng burst into laughter, it seems that ancient and modern views and terms on certain things are the same!
"Then who are these eight princes?" Gao Feng then asked. His question actually has two meanings, one is to ask the person, and the other is to ask his family.
"Gu, you probably guessed it, it's the second son of the current county magistrate, Gu Cheng. This son didn't learn a little of the advantages of the county and his brother, he was not good at writing, so he had to martial arts, dancing with guns and sticks all day long, fighting and killing, which made the county zun very headache, but there was no way to take him. ”
I see, it seems that the county magistrate also has people who can't manage it, but it's easy to understand, if you can't manage your own children, how can you manage other people's children? It's normal for a wolf to jump out like this.
As for Du, it is the nephew of the former Du County Commander, Juniper. When Du Xianling stepped down, he returned to his hometown with his family, just because there was still some industry here, so he left his brother's family here to take care of it, Juniper is the third son of this family, this son has a similar temperament with Gu Cheng, and the two play together every day, so there is a saying that Du does not leave the valley, and the valley does not leave Du. ”
All have official backgrounds, if such a family is not arrogant, whose family will be arrogant? However, the saying "Du does not leave the valley, and the valley does not leave Du" is very familiar, and it seems to be a copy of "Jiao does not leave Meng, Meng does not leave Jiao", and it seems that infringement exists in any era.
