In a luxurious manor, small bridges and flowing water, mountains and rocks and strange flowers, and twists and turns in the corridor, it can be described as a step and a scene, and the alternative luxury of Jiangnan Manor can be said to be vividly displayed, and the maids and servants keep shuttling back and forth, which seems extremely busy.

A large hall, carved beams and painted eaves and arches, just look at the fine carving and arrangement, you will know that it has taken countless labor, in the hall, more than a dozen large gilt candlesticks are placed in all corners, and dozens of butter wax are inserted on each candlestick.

The entire hall is thousands of square meters, and even though it is night, it is illuminated as if it were day.

Eight momentum is calm, at a glance is the old man sitting there with great power, there are three beautiful young maids serving around him, on the dining table, steamed Wuchang fish, three steamed fish in Chuyang, slippery fish in Tianchu, steamed three yuan of Xiantao, fried bacon in mud, steamed catfish, fish Yuanzi, gossip soup, red grilled shark fin, shrimp roe sea cucumber bowl fish, eggplant sauce Guiyu, Huangpi Sanhe, family portrait, hibiscus chicken slices, yellow stewed soft-shelled turtle, orange fish yuan and other delicacies of the mountains and seas are placed on the table.

(I'm so hungry to write this in the middle of the night...... ）

At the front of the hall, thirty-six beauties were dancing, twenty-four beautiful musicians were playing with various musical instruments around, and eight old men, but their attention was not all on the beauties performing, talking to each other in low voices, this kind of beauty, in the decades of their lives, had seen too much, that is, all kinds of dance repertoire, and they had not seen it, so to speak, as long as it was not in bed, this simple dance had lost its appeal to them.

However, this is the tradition that has been passed down in China for thousands of years, everyone gets together, even if they want to talk about business, they must finish this cutscene, delicacies from the mountains and seas, singing and dancing performances, otherwise, this is not good hospitality, and it is a shame to say it.

Knowing that this song and dance performance was over, the head of the official family said loudly: "Presumably, everyone has seen too much of this kind of song and dance on weekdays." ”

Hearing this, several other people laughed and didn't say anything, then they heard the official family master say again: "I have retrained some dancing girls here, to put it mildly, this is still from Fujian, the young man surnamed Wang doesn't know how to measure, and he indulges in fun and indulges deeply, and he has come up with a lot of novelties, and everyone will take a look." ”

Several other family heads present also said yes, echoing that Wang Xuan was addicted to wine, and at the same time preparing to look at it with a 'critical' eye.

After a while, there were girls with cat ears and rabbit ears, wearing colorful fur and tails in key parts of the body, and barefoot girls came up one after another.

This 'run' may not be accurate, the four-limbed catwoman twists her waist, the short-tailed rabbit jumps gently, and there are foxes and beautiful women with sheep's horns and other costumes, 'running' up in different ways.

The last to follow was a scholar dressed as a man, this track is a scholar who strayed into the mountains and forests, met a group of female goblins, and lived a shameless life after being bewitched by the goblins......

As for how it was confusing, how it was shameless, it also showed a complete ......

This set is really novel, and it has attracted everyone's attention to the past......

After all this process was completed, everyone began to talk about business, only to see the head of the official family wave his hand and send everyone away, and his face became solemn, "What is the matter of summoning everyone here today, I think everyone knows." ”

"Yes, that little guy surnamed Wang is making too much trouble." The head of the Wu family sneered and said.

"That's not too much, it's just that he doesn't know the sky, he thinks he can challenge the whole world."

"Dare to slaughter the Guangdong family, although it has nothing to do with my Huguang, but my generation of scholars, with the people of the world as their own responsibility, absolutely cannot allow anyone to do such a rebellious thing." Thinking that the head of the family said this, his face was full of justice, obviously, he was convinced of his words,

"Yes, if we allow such people to cause trouble in the world, how can we be worthy of the tens of millions of people in Chudi, and how can we have the face to meet the Jiangdong fathers."

"Please also ask the official family master to uphold justice for the common people in the world."

The head of the official family bowed slightly, everyone is used to saying these words, even they themselves are convinced, and they are very sure that they represent the people of the world, "This matter, it's not so easy, this time compared to everyone sent people to Fujian and Guangdong to collect news, right?" ”

Seeing everyone nodding, the head of the official family said: "This Wang Xuan seems to have a lot of ambitions." ”

"But no, Fujian got out an army of 50,000 people, and gave each of those Qiu Ba 20 acres of land, hey, this is a private purchase of people's hearts."

"Moreover, these 50,000 troops, from top to bottom, have been replaced by his own people, and I don't know what those people in the military department are doing, so he actually let him do this in private, these 50,000 people, ironclad, can't interfere at all, but, think about it, the combat effectiveness must be much higher than that of my Daming guards."

Hearing this, the head of the Wu family sighed, "The Ming military system has gradually eroded for more than two hundred years, and the descendants of the Wuxun Group only know how to lie in the merit book of their ancestors, and have forgotten how to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

"Kill? I'm afraid that I don't dare to see blood, this kid surnamed Wang has recruited more than 60,000 people in Guangdong, and if it goes on like this, something big will happen sooner or later. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene quieted down for a while, and no one wanted to say more about the following words, but everyone understood what it meant, it was nothing more than saying that Wang Xuan would rebel sooner or later.

"Da Ming, it's been more than two hundred and fifty years." The old voice of the head of the Wu family remembered.

"Yes, the two Han Dynasty were 200 years before and after, the Tang Dynasty died in 289 years, and the two Song Dynasty were 319 years in total, so there is no need to say that the Yuan Dynasty."

"Yes, since the Zhou Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has existed for a relatively long time, and now the national strength is weak, the emperor ignores the government, and there is this kind of demonic ...... in the south" said the head of the family here, shaking his head.

By this time, many great families have seen the appearance of the country, the two Han Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasty, the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, generation after generation can not exceed this boundary, for these great families with a longer history than the Ming Dynasty, rooted in the place, many things, see more thoroughly than the emperor who was imprisoned in the palace countless times.

What the emperor knows, it all depends on what the ministers want the emperor to know, and the emperor has never heard the truth, and it is just that the world is peaceful, the country and the people are safe, and when it is really time to destroy the country, these great families are not afraid.

It would be good if they could support the dynasty Zhongxing, but in this situation, no one who is willing to take risks is the big family, even if the dynasty changes, they are not afraid of anything, as long as their own strength is strong enough and they have enough influence in the local area, as long as they are willing to support the new dynasty, the benefits will only be greater.

Of course, the premise is that they don't have the intention to compete for the world.

No matter who the Son of Heaven is on the throne, the governance of this world still needs them to read, or rather, they who have enough influence in the local area.

As long as they are people who are interested in the world, even if they lose in the competition in the end, they are the ones who open the way for the true dragon, they will treat them well, and they can finally surrender to the true dragon, no matter what, they are in an invincible position.

The more you reach the imperial court, the more powerful the infighting becomes, and the more blatant the struggle for power and profit becomes, are these people who can achieve the highest position in the world stupid pigs?

Is it because they don't know that the infighting will only consume the last bit of luck of the dynasty, and will only make the dynasty sink deeper and deeper?

No, whether it was before the imperial examination or after the imperial examination system, anyone who could reach the highest peak in the struggle for power, wherever there were fools, were all guys who were better than monkeys, and these old foxes understood very well and knew what they wanted.

In the last years of the dynasty, everyone took the last opportunity to benefit their family, hoping that the family would grow and have more right to speak, which was to ask for the continuation of the family, which was a magic weapon used to survive the troubled times, or to obtain a higher starting point and status in the next dynasty.

It's a continuation of the family, not the name of a loyal retainer!

Even if the Ming Dynasty became 'my Qing Dynasty', looking at the high-level of the Qing Dynasty, except for the Jurchens in the early Qing Dynasty, there were still some capable ministers, and after that, not all the Han people occupied the high positions in the imperial court.

It can only be said that these big families didn't expect the Jurchens to be so barbaric and kill so much.

In their hearts, the Jurchen Houjin would be as kind to their ancestors, the Jin Dynasty, as they were to the 'important ministers' of these countries.

Of course, although there are mistakes, but these big families are still descendants, and they continue to be 'itchy scalp, too cold water', "Rebuilding the Tomb of Hedong Jun" records, to 1810, his descendant Qian Zongyuan still has records, it can be seen that the survival of these families is still effective.

Even now, Nanyu Qian's mansion is still there.

"This kid surnamed Wang is definitely not good!" The head of the Wu family said in a deep voice, and everyone understood what he meant.

"But this kid's strength ...... Fujian 50,000 elites, it is said that everyone wears iron armor, Guangdong has recruited 60,000 people again, I think this will not be his end, this kind of strength, I am afraid that it will be ....... ”

"Well, this matter is related to all the people in the world, we can't just Chu people contribute, Fujian is next to Zhejiang, that is the base camp of Wang Xiaozi, and their Zhejiang Party can't run, similarly, Jiangxi is the land of the Donglin Party, and they don't want to be alone."

"Of course, judging by his actions, this kid surnamed Wang has great malice towards the big family, and has slaughtered more than 20 big families before and after on some trumped-up charges, this kind of person is a demon in troubled times, and he must not be allowed to take the throne."

This caused everyone to nod in unison, "This person has a tyrannical temperament, he is a rudimentary character, if this person is allowed to ascend to the throne, I am afraid that all the people in the world will fall into the boundless hell and sink forever." ”

"What the official family master said is right, this matter still needs the two adults of labor officer Wu to go to the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party to discuss, no matter what, this Wang Xuan can't be allowed to take a step forward."

The head of the official family bowed slightly, "Don't worry, this kid from the Wang family is not popular with the people, at most he is a good person who opens the way for the real dragon, and sooner or later he will never recover." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed them.

In fact, this is not wrong, these big families are deeply rooted in local forces, the so-called people who win the hearts of the people win the world, this people's heart, never refers to the grass people who don't know big characters, the people don't know how to write the words, where to express their meaning!

This popular heart, since ancient times, is these families who control the place, any big force that is interested in the world, as long as they can get the support of these people in one place, then immediately the government decree will be smooth, the place will be stable, the people's will will be stable, as for taxes or something, it is easy to get.

If you don't get the support of these people, then no one will pay attention to government decrees, local turmoil will be at every turn, the people will be uneasy, and you won't even think about taxes or anything.

As long as you want to be a ruler and want to make the local area peaceful for a long time, it is impossible to maintain it by killing alone, and there must always be a large number of people to govern the place, especially when the troubled times have just ended and the dynasty has changed, it is too late to solve the problem if you want to carry out the imperial examination, and you can only rely on these local families to maintain stability and excess, so they have nothing to fear.

And now, in their hearts, Wang Xuan has lost the hearts of the people!
