The original body is the remnants of the previous dynasty, the heart of the restoration of the country has not died, and the Si family, which has been lurking in the dark for a long time, finally waited for this golden opportunity, taking advantage of the sudden attack on Yanzhou by the two countries of Wei and Jin, and the generalissimo of Youzhou soldiers and horses Xu Jintang refused to send troops even against the eighteen golden orders of the imperial court, and finally attracted all the attention and energy of the imperial court。

Not only that, because of the internal and external combinations, coupled with their goal at the beginning, they quickly occupied the state city first, and all the defenders in the city surrendered, even Yongzhou Mu, who was a feudal official, was placed under house arrest by them, but it can also be seen from this point that in fact, many families have not planned to completely fall out with the imperial court, and this coordinated action is also necessary to advance and retreat together, otherwise no matter who wins in the end, they will not be able to participate in a piece of the pie.

There is a way that crying children have milk to eat, and they have always felt that as long as they make a big fuss like before, the court will be forced to compromise and retreat, history has repeated such things countless times, so they are still very confident, as long as they can feed them, then everyone will still be a cool courtier, and they are still a family, so they have no intention of doing things directly, after all, once they kill a court member like a state minister, it will be difficult to have room for maneuver afterwards, even if it is to re-establish the authority of the court, there must be a group of people to accompany the funeral, otherwise it will chill the hearts of everyone in the court。

But who would have thought that the imperial court did not even think about compromise this time, nor did it secretly play the old method of sowing discord, suppressing one side, and then supporting one side to maintain balance, but as soon as it made a move, it directly wanted to dig up the foundation of all of them.

It's so ruthless!

In the hall of the yamen of the state capital, which has been completely occupied and used as a temporary meeting hall, the old lady of the Si family, who is sitting on the main seat, slammed the dragon head in his hand, his eyes were wide open, not to mention the beard on his face, it was the wrinkles that were as wide as the Yongzhou Mountains, all trembling, it can be seen that the agitation in his heart is really difficult to hide, he shouted angrily: "Bastard! Bastard! Turn the world upside down! Cholera Gangchang! They want to destroy the roots of our human race! Scum, traitor!" They are simply demons! They are the demons that want to exterminate our human heritage!"

Not only was he so excited, but the whole scene was also full of indignation, and before everyone could officially discuss it, they couldn't help but curse one after another.

"That is, who do they think is holding up the whole human race? Is it those stupid people who can't read big words? Or are they these stupid so-called royal families?"

"It's ridiculous! It's sad! It's just crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, forgetting the ancestors! If it weren't for our support, what a big cool, then it's a fart!"

"Hmph, it's arrogant to simply want to cut off the foundation of our family's gate valve like this! Ignorance! Wishful thinking!"

"When you get the benefits, you forget your roots, and you don't want to think about it, how did his ancestor Gu Qiguang start his Da Liang, isn't it looking for the money borrowed by the He family to recruit troops and buy horses?"

"Who on earth came up with such a desperate plan, which is simply to cut off the foundation of our human race! The sky has no eyes, and it actually caused this to happen?"

"This man will be damned!

"I want to see what kind of face he will have when the people of his Gu family go underground in the future, and face the ancestors, the ancestors and the saints of each family!"

The more excited, in fact, it means that they are more flustered in their hearts, after all, they can come out as a representative of a family, not to say that they are all people with excellent means and deep scheming, but at least the city government still has it, and the joy and anger are invisible, that is the most basic requirement, so the more angry they are now, in fact, it means that the more they can't do anything about this decree, if it doesn't hit their sore feet, they will never be so out of shape.

It's no wonder that they are like this, to be fair, the contribution of the family gate valve to the entire human race is indeed very high.

The most important of the human race, which represents the cultural inheritance, most of them are preserved, inherited, and saved from being destroyed by war, so to a certain extent, they can indeed be regarded as the real foundation of the entire human race, but the development of history is to continue to progress, and it may be a good thing in the first era, but after reaching the next era, it may also become dross and be eliminated, and any vain attempt to obstruct the progress of the wheel of the times must be a vain mantis arm as a car, and there is no possibility of success.

The family lords have developed to the present, it can be said that they are still the mainstay of the human race, looking at the military generals of various dynasties, famous scholars and Confucians, the vast majority of those from the family, but their disadvantages are also reflected here, they have completely monopolized the promotion of the middle level.

Ordinary people, also known as Han Shi, either died depressed because there was no one to recommend them, and they had no way to serve the country, or they could only choose to join the family, become a part of the family, contribute to it, and cede their own interests to their colleagues everywhere.

Da Liang has already set a precedent in the south, according to the imperial examination, and not limited to the article and the righteousness, more attention to all aspects of talent selection, at the same time, because several generations of monarchs are very virtuous, the upper and lower atmosphere is good, so there is no favoritism for the time being, following in the footsteps of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but what if a few generations later?

Don't say it's far away, just look at the near, Wei and Jin countries, standing above their courts, which is not from a family, which is not related to the tyrants, once they are united, not only can they force the imperial power, but also completely cut off the hope of the people at the bottom, when the classes no longer flow, the consequences will be very terrible, which is why there will never be a dynasty in history, this is the truth, because in the end, there will always be a war that affects everyone, venting the hatred that the people have accumulated for an unknown time, reshuffling the cards, and giving everyone hope again, and the family that can stay in this catastrophe will also last for a long time, glowing with new life.

Gu Cang's move is actually out of the times, but I have to say that it is absolutely effective for the current situation.

"Knock knock!"

"Ahem, ahem!"

The old lady of the Si family coughed heavily while covering her mouth, and smashed the dragon's head with her other hand, making a huge noise, and the noisy voices of other people in the room suddenly became clear, and they all looked at the leader, originally they may have had different thoughts, but since the appearance of the imperial court's decree, they are now really tied to a boat, because now what the imperial court wants to move is the fundamental interests of all their people, this is no longer a matter of one family, but will affect the whole world, and the impact is unimaginable！

After drinking a sip of the throat lozenge soup handed over by the servant, and after a young and well-behaved maid wiped off his beard and chest with a handkerchief, the old lady of the Si family breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said: "Hmph, they don't want to think about it, if we are so well divided, can we still be called the family gate? What do you think is what connects us? Is it interests? No! It is blood! It is family affection! It is unity to strive for more interests!" They are now trying to split us by such a simple method, this is wishful thinking! It is absolutely impossible to succeed! If we do not unite this time, we will all become fish and meat on the chopping block in the future.

After he said this, everyone in the audience also nodded lightly, their expressions were deeply approving, after all, they are the heads of each family, sometimes the smart people who stand in the low place, and the stupid people who have not yet stood in the high place can see far and see clearly, this is the truth, it doesn't matter whether they are smart or not, but as the people of each family, they stand high enough, and naturally understand that if the family is scattered, they will never be able to get together again, and after becoming a plate of loose sand, they will become the object of the court at will.

But this problem must first be seen by a person who stands tall enough, in other words, they cannot guarantee that everyone will follow them, take a long-term view, even if it is at the expense of their own interests, and be tied to the family.

In fact, it is like themselves, and they only focus on the interests of their own class, so when someone who stands taller and sees farther than them appears, and does something that is good for the whole of the Southland, but not particularly good for them, they will also oppose it, so they are not much smarter than the people below.

It's just that everyone is in the game, so everyone can't see clearly, if someone suddenly stands up and says that I want you to sacrifice Da Liang for the benefit of the whole human race, do you say that His Majesty Gu Yi can agree, of course it can't be!

What are these powerful old people in the house talking about, I won't show it here for the time being, but only say that the most dazzling and capable person of the younger generation of the Si family, Si Huaizhi, is standing at the gate, with his head down, bent over, waiting respectfully on the side, that deferential appearance, compared to the two doormen who stood straight and motionless next to him, they all seemed to have a lower status.

However, this is not the case, the outside world calls him the "Si family think tank", giving advice to the family, or to put it simply, he is the chief staff of the old lady, and he is also his own family, so his status in the clan is extremely high, but unfortunately, he is also a concubine child, and his eldest brother, the eldest grandson of the Si family, is the real successor of the Si family.

But Si Huaizhi has always been extremely loyal to the family, extremely respectful of his mediocre eldest brother, the two brothers are so good that they are even rumored by outsiders to be "the good of Longyang", it is said that Si Huaizhi even married his wife who just entered the door, and directly dedicated it to the eldest brother, just because the eldest brother praised him for having "jade * muscle ice bones, which can cure summer poison", and as the eldest grandson of the old lady, the affair with his younger brother's wife is an open secret in the entire Si family.

He has been standing at the door and waiting for a long time, if ordinary people keep him in this state for a long time, they are afraid that they will not be able to stand it for a long time, but he does not, he still does not move a minute, it looks like a sculpture, and at this moment, the old voice of the old lady of the Si family suddenly came from inside, with rare warmth and undisguised appreciation.

"Huaizhi, good boy, come on in. ”

When Si Huaizhi heard this, he didn't leave immediately, he bowed deeply to the inside again, reaching the ground for a long time, and finally straightened up his stiff body slightly, took a small step, and crossed the threshold, the whole person was like a eunuch in the palace, his limbs were attached, he bent over, and behaved extremely cautiously, only looking at his feet the whole time, and moving forward silently, until he reached the hall, he straightened up again, and bowed deeply to the front, that is, the old lady on the main seat.

"Grandson Si Huaizhi, meet grandpa, may grandpa shine with the sun and the moon, immortal spring and autumn, and may our family accumulate a lot of light and be endless. ”

With that, he leaned down and bowed, knocking his head three times crisply, and then got up again and bowed to the visitors on all sides.

"Si Huaizhi, the fifth generation of the Si family, has seen all of you uncles, and I wish you Gengxing eternal glory, long happiness, great cause, and eternal music. ”

Although the Si family is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, they changed their surname because they wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears and avoid the eyes of the Daliang court, so the calculation of the genealogy is to start counting from the generation * that changed the surname.

After saying a few words, everyone couldn't help shouting the word "good" in unison, and their eyes were full of warm praise.

This is the heritage of the big family, the children of the clan, all of them are influenced by family education, and there are etiquette constraints when they travel, when to say what to say, and what to worship when they meet people, there are rules.

Like this kind of big family with a long heritage, it is rare to be arrogant and unreasonable, arrogant and domineering, most of those people are just getting rich, such as the kid of the Xu family, who will do the stupid thing of beating the prince at the gate of the Guozijian, and only people like Si Huaizhi will be regarded by them as their own people, a family like the Xu family, no matter how powerful it is, will not be sincerely accepted by the real family lords everywhere, and many people are secretly ridiculing them for being just a bunch of barbarians from Youzhou, and they are worthy of being ranked with themselves？

As soon as he saw this person, even the old lady of the Si family, who was still gloomy just now, couldn't help but smile a little more on his face, and gently stroked his beard, he was a little proud.

In fact, the big family that has gone through hundreds of years really cares about one or two capable juniors?

In fact, no, they can win a moment of glory for the family, but if the family depends on them, then once the person dies, it is inevitable that the family will fall in the middle of the road, and will not be a man, and when he is alive, he offended too many people, and people may not dare to move at that time, but after you lose power, it is not easy to persecute your family, so the family is a whole, and it is a whole linked by blood and interests, and the most important thing for the old people in the clan, or those in power, is loyalty in addition to whether it is a lineage.

You have to listen to the words of the head of the family, and those who are willing to sacrifice and dedicate themselves to the family are the real children of the family, otherwise even if you have great ability, you will be ostracized, and it is impossible for disloyal people to get the support of the family, and Si Huaizhi is extremely good in this aspect.
