Chapter 4: The Down-and-Out Prince Turns Over [4]
The Qiao family, the Ji family, the Leng family, and the Ying family will all be dissatisfied, but they dare not show it, just because they are afraid of the maternal power behind the current queen.
Today's emperor's wife, Empress Xiao, shares imperial power with the emperor, and basically, the imperial examination officials must be approved by the queen before they can serve......
Otherwise, it won't count without the consent of Queen Xiao!
The four great families wanted to send their descendants to be important officials in Beihan, but they were rejected by Empress Xiao, but the four great families were also ...... Dare to be angry, dare not speak!
Of course, the reason why Empress Xiao dared to do this, she still had confidence, because her own surname was Xiao, and her surname caused the jealousy of the four great families!
The Xiao family has always been a mysterious existence in the entire continent.
The Xiao family's economy and industry are all over the Beihan country, oh no, it's the entire continent, and even the barbarians outside the customs are very dependent on the Xiao family, not to mention the Beihan, which is almost controlled by the Xiao family.
And the military strength of the Xiao family is still a mystery, anyway, it must be stronger than the four great families! Soon after the founding of Beihan, the four great families had a conflict with the Xiao family and wanted to encircle and suppress the head of the Xiao family, but the four great families hurriedly stopped and negotiated with the head of the Xiao family......
Hearing that, the Xiao family didn't know what to say, which made the heads of the four great families look ugly, and the four great families withdrew directly......
It can be seen that the strength of the Xiao family should not be underestimated, the Xiao family has not been mixed with the court since ancient times, but what is surprising is that Queen Xiao's surname is Xiao, and she doesn't think so, and the four major families have sent people to secretly check Queen Xiao's family power, but to no avail......
A terrifying thought spontaneously arose in the hearts of the four great families, that is, the mysterious family on the rivers and lakes - the Xiao family.
The power of the four great families is all over the whole of Beihan, including Guanwai, there are also some dark lines of the four great families, except for the Xiao family, who else can they not find?
The only possibility is that she is a descendant of the Xiao family.
The four great families still don't dare to act rashly, just because the head of the Xiao family warned them back then, if there is a next time, the successive heads of the Xiao family will slaughter the four great families.
So that the whole continent will never have the descendants of the four great families, the Xiao family...... It's not impossible to do it!
Before the establishment of the Northern Letter, at that time, it was still the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
In the year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the royal families of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were slaughtered one by one, and the emperor of the Northern Zhou Palace died mysteriously, and even the royal family of the Northern Zhou Palace died mysteriously......
Every time the royal families of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were slaughtered, they had a common feature - every time they would throw a jade plaque with the word "Xiao" on the spot.
What's the reason for doing this? It's simple, naturally - warning!
As for why the Northern Zhou Dynasty provoked the Xiao family back then, hundreds of years have passed, too long, unless the head of the Xiao family and other high-level officials know, I'm afraid no one knows the inside story.

Jian Ying retracted her thoughts and sighed slightly, the difficulty of this task was much more difficult than the previous ones......
In this era of war and chaos, where is this royal family of Beihan, who knew the original owner?
The background of this generation is much more complicated than Jian Ying's imagination, and it has already involved the relationship between the former Northern Zhou and the Xiao family, the Xiao family and the four great families, and the four great families and Beihan.
Jian Ying picked up the jade pendant that the original owner had carried, played with it, and sighed softly.
Jian Ying, "Ge Zhu, you say, how did you young lady and I treat you before I fell unconscious?" ”
Ge Zhu heard Jian Ying ask her this, she hesitated a little, her young lady was notoriously arrogant and domineering before she woke up, and she had a bad reputation for being Qiao Da Sima's concubine, doing whatever she wanted, and being famous in the market.
Although the young lady is only eleven years old, she often takes the people around her to bully people, and because of her identity, no one dares to care.
Ge Zhu looked at Qiao Junzhu with some hesitation, "Miss, are you sure you want to know?" ”
