More than 100 years ago, although the Sheng family was also a wealthy family, the family was far less powerful than it is today. However, the Qi family's generation of gate valves has always been silent, good for a while, bad for a while, and only ups and downs in the situation.

Due to fate, the two Taizu of Qi and Sheng got acquainted. The ancestors of the Sheng family are good at strategy, and the ancestors of the Qi family are heroic and heroic, and the two of them are one and one relaxed, one article and one martial arts, and they complement each other every time. So they all shouted "Luckily", performed eight prostrations, and became brothers of the opposite sex.

The ancestors of Qi and Sheng are both scheming people, even in troubled times, and they are both ambitious, so they have made a wish to lay down a piece of the country.

If you are ordinary to seek peace and wealth, Qi and Sheng are more than enough, and if you want to achieve the business of a hegemon, wealth is the first important thing. However, at that time, even if the two were sold short, it was not enough, and the soldiers of the Qi family were also scarce and not strong, so the ancestor of the Sheng family should take this as a long-term strategy and go step by step, even if it takes decades, it is inevitable to go steadily to "once and for all".

This first step is to collect wealth from the Sheng family and gather the hearts of the whole family!

Since then, the Sheng family has formulated the method of "branches scattered all over the land" that has been used to this day, opening up financial roads and collecting fields. At the same time, he tried his best to make friends with the world's powerful ministers and businessmen, and densely gathered to weave a large network with the Sheng family as the meridian from top to bottom; And the Qi family is paving roads and bridges here, and giving porridge for disaster relief there, only busy for the people's livelihood and not in the slightest love for power. In the meantime, there are those who are well fed and clothed; There are those who sent their sons to repay the kindness of the Qi family; There are those who want to run for a future because they see that the Qi family is by no means a thing in the pool; There is always a lot of people coming to you. In the past ten years, the Sheng family has secured the position of the richest man in Jiangnan, and the Qi family has not only a lot of soldiers, but more than several times. At that time, it was the beginning of another chaotic war, and the two ancestors saw that the opportunity had come, and after discussion, they started to seize power.

This battle took more than ten years. After waiting for half of the country, the two ancestors were not as happy as they were thorough, and everyone under their command was dissatisfied. Some say that without the support of the Sheng family's money and connections, there would be no time for today's success, so this throne is none other than the ancestor of the Sheng family; Some people say that the Sheng family just did some support, and the people who went into battle, grabbed the flag with drums, and drank blood were all Qi family generals, who else could this supreme position give up the ancestor of the Qi family?

Under such a bustling crowd of opinions, the two ancestors of Qi and Sheng, who have been united for more than ten years, also added embarrassment. Originally, I didn't discuss or didn't discuss who would sit in this country, but now when it comes to having to discuss, should I be the person who is beautiful as an adult or should I boil beans and burn the beans and fall apart?

When the ancestor of the Qi family was hesitating whether to give up the throne in order not to give up the love of these decades, the ancestor of the Sheng family summoned all the generals to call His Majesty, bowed down at the feet of the ancestor of the Qi family, and made a heavy oath in public: the Sheng family will be loyal to the Qi family for generations. And to prevent future generations from having the heart to fight for merit, the Sheng family does not enter the army for generations, and the sons of the Sheng family do not marry the daughter of the gate lord, and do not marry the military power!

The ancestor of the Qi family is naturally grateful for this, and in order to repay this indescribable feeling, after the ancestor of the Qi family ascended the throne, he announced that the world and the Sheng family were in agreement: the Sheng family did not need to be called a minister in front of the supreme and royal family, and only saluted the family in front of the supreme and royal family. The men of the Sheng family can enjoy the honor guard of the king, and the women of the Sheng family can enjoy the honor guard of the princess, and the gold book and iron scroll are made and placed in the temple。。。。。。

When Sheng Fu heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "In this way, I am at a loss!" I haven't used this princess's reliance since I was a child, don't say it's used, I don't even know! My father and mother never told me that! ”

Master Lang glanced at Sheng Fu fiercely: "Hmph! I haven't used any of those, and you still want to use them? Over the past few generations, which one has used it? None of them have been! I will not tell you, lest you be young and do not know how to give birth to delusions and cause trouble! ”

"Even if Emperor Gaozu was sincere back then, it was polite, and it was a blessing if it was used well, and it was bad luck if it was not used well! If our family really doesn't know the color and puts that pomp and circumstance every day, it may be okay when Gaozu is there, once Gaozu dies, we should also prepare ourselves to burn paper! ”

"The Sheng family now has a great business and a big creation, relying on the prudence of several generations. But if Gao Zu had the heart to compete for the throne back then, or it would not be today! ”

"What is the emperor to do?" Sheng Fu was very disdainful, "I am trapped in the court every day, and I am trapped by many ancestral rules for no reason, and there is often a person who wants to seek power and usurp the throne to stir and stir, and it is too uncomfortable to live!" ”

"The character of a family! Looking at me now, I know that Gao Zu must have been the same back then---- he would rather be an idler who lacks nothing than do it, long live that everything is unacceptable! I've helped it, and the world has also fought, so it's all fun! But when you're done, you're happy! ”

"You still have some insight in saying this now, like a girl born to me!" Master Lang raised her eyebrows, very proud, "Your father often said that you are like me, and you are so likely to cause trouble and forbidden." Hum! I also said that Dalang is like him, this incomprehensible temperament, isn't it the same line。。。。。。 ”

Master Lang mentioned Sheng Yuan, Sheng Fulian thought about it, and suddenly understood why the eldest brother insisted on breaking the family rules.

"Mother only told me this today, and I don't know if I want to come to Sheng Wei. Big brother, but he knew it early? ”

"Exactly! He is the eldest son, and in the year of Zhixue, your father routinely informed him of the origin of the Qi and Sheng families. When he learned about it, he didn't do anything, but it was no wonder that he and the two brothers of the Qi family had only seen each other since he was a child。。。。。。 ”

"But how could you have expected that?!" The lady of the Lang lord sighed, "How could I have expected that any girl would be despised by Sheng Yuan, and a trip to Shuzhong would be obsessed with your sister-in-law." It would be nice if she was just a poor girl, but unfortunately fate made people, she was actually born in a family of door valves. ”

"Back then, your eldest brother got the news that there was an iron-rich mine in Shu, and he belonged to the Xiao family. And the Xiao family was already dilapidated for a long time at that time, and it was in name only. Although the family has a territory of hundreds of miles, there are only some old and weak soldiers and a few loyal generals to guard the only girl in the family. Your eldest brother only thought that if this was the case, it would be useless for the girl to ask for those minerals, so he was eager to buy them. ”

However, he didn't expect that although this girl was a girl, she gave birth to a stronger temperament than a man, he thought it was a low-hanging fruit, but it became a situation besieged by some old and weak soldiers led by the Xiao family girl! The girl also said that since he wanted to bully the weak and occupy her territory, he would let him go and never return! ”

"Your eldest brother has grown up like a moon held by the stars since he was a child, and many girls have used many means and tricks in the open and secretly just to seek a glance at Shengyuan. Or he has seen too much and experienced a lot, and he will not be tempted by the weak crown. After a long time, it has caused rumors in the market that he was originally a person with a habit of dragon yang! ”

"It's also heavenly! When he met Xiao Zitong, who looked at him and looked blind to his family background, he was tempted! It may not be enough to be tempted, but it should be indulgent! ”

"Your father and I are also happy to see that he finally has the affection of a concubine, and Xiao Zitong is upright and noble. As for the family that was born in a family of door valves, although there are current door rules, it doesn't matter to us, the Tao is just that she just needs to change her name and surname, and find someone to marry as a successor. ”

"I thought it was the best of both worlds, but your sister-in-law refused first, saying that her father's testament was to guard the lintel of the Xiao family and not be defeated. It stands to reason that she should have recruited her, but now it is against her father's discipline to marry, if she wants to change the court, she will only be embarrassed if she dies! ”

"Ahh Sheng Fu was stunned, "Sister-in-law doesn't know how to adapt to this?" Why didn't she understand that this didn't really want her to break up the Xiao family, just to do a trick in front of the world? ”

"Alas。。。。。。 I said all these things that day! It's just that she won't do anything! Sheng Fu saw that her mother was now full of tiredness when she talked about it, but I can imagine how much she wasted her tongue and mind at that time。。。。。。 Over the years, my mother must have felt uncomfortable?!

"If your eldest brother was willing to comfort your sister-in-law more at that time, it would be fine, but your eldest brother, a stubborn person, actually remembered the old things, and he was indignant and couldn't help himself."

He said that the Sheng family had been bound by the third generation of the Qi family, and this oath could be broken and should be broken. If the Qi family were a Ming monarch, they wouldn't, wouldn't, and shouldn't care about the oath of their ancestors! Therefore, day by day, you are more and more persistently determined that your father will abolish the family rules set by Gaozu back then! ”。

"It involves the court, the country, and the family, and where it can be broken, it will be broken. Naturally, your father would not answer him. So we were in a stalemate with them for a year, two years, three years。。。。。。。 It's been years! ”
