Chapter 17: The Seven Heroes of the Imperial Capital
The Seven Heroes of the Imperial Capital of the Celestial Star Empire, one division, one history, two political and three armies, just included the top forces of the Celestial Star Empire.
The first division, the founding hero of the empire, the veteran of the two dynasties, the imperial master and the imperial master Zhang Bo. In private, His Majesty the Emperor has to pay tribute to teachers and students when he sees him. Responsible for the selection of civil officials in the imperial court, and master the entire civil official system.
A history, the imperial historian Sima Zhengyang, was entrusted by the emperor to supervise the words and deeds of hundreds of officials and supervise the rule of officials in the world. He has won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and is directly responsible to His Majesty the Emperor, and only to His Majesty the Emperor. is upright, iron-faced and selfless, from the court bosses to ordinary officials, no one wants to be targeted by him. The other six major families have more or less suffered from his lawsuit.
The second government, one is the head of the hundred officials, the prime minister looks around, oversees the government, and has great power. It can be called one person below ten thousand people. The other is Dongfang Qingyun, the head of the household department, who controls the imperial finances and is very rich all over his body. It is often said that the Oriental family is "the treasury through the treasury, and the treasury enters my house", and it is known as the imperial god of wealth.
The three armies are the three giants of the military of the Celestial Star Empire.
The first is the mighty general of the empire, the red-blooded duke, and the master of the Lin family's army - Lin Tianxiao. The direct commanders of more than sixty percent of the empire's armies, the fierce generals under the throne, have extremely high prestige in the Celestial Star Empire's army. He has fought on the battlefield all his life, and his achievements are impressive and famous. Even the enemy had to say a word of obedience to Lin Tianxiao.
Lin Tianxiao has three sons under his knees, and the eldest son, Lin Kecheng, is calm and calm. The second son, Linkro, is extremely brave. Yizi Lin Kezhi, wise and resolute. The three of them are all rare generals and handsome talents in the world, Lin Tianxiao has the assistance of these three sons, and the power of the Lin family is even more powerful.
His eldest grandson, Lin Feng, is also a generation leader and a rare young talent. At a young age, he has become the leader of the younger generation of the Celestial Star Empire. It is almost certain that he will take over the position of the head of the Lin family in the future.
For a family to continue for generations, the most important thing is whether the descendants of the family are successful. Therefore, the situation of the Lin family fell in the eyes of others, and I don't know how many people were red.
Lin Kecheng, Lin Feng and his son now have the demeanor of a generation of famous marshals. No one at home and abroad at home and abroad dared to question Lin Kecheng's ability. Lin Feng may still be a little immature, but there are only a handful of people who can compare with Lin Feng among the younger generation of the Heavenly Star Empire.
Lin Keluo and Lin Kezhi are also outstanding generals. Lin Keluo is known for his bravery, Lin Kezhi is a world of ingenuity, with these two people by his side, the Lin family is even more powerful.
Any one of these four people is a talent that major forces dream of. The Lin family actually has four, how can this not make others blush. It is precisely because of this jealousy that outsiders try their best to seize Lin Zhan's flaw and vigorously preach that "Lin Zhan is a useless waste". used to ridicule Lin Zhan to seek a little comfort in his heart.
The second of the three armies was Situ Wei, the generalissimo of the Imperial Soldiers and Horses, the direct commander of the Empire's more than 5 million regular troops and more than 7 million reserve troops. In terms of position, he is still above Lin Tianxiao, and he is Lin Tianxiao's top boss.
At least on the surface.
And the third is the imperial town of Hou Ma Jianfei, a relative of the royal family. Controlling thirty percent of the empire's military strength, although its strength is not as good as that of the Lin family, it should not be underestimated.
These seven families basically divided the main power of the empire, and formed the basis of the imperial government.
When any of these seven families coughed, the entire empire would tremble.
The status and reputation of these seven families are so prominent that even ordinary children in the Celestial Star Empire have heard their names. Lin Feng is one of them, not to mention.
Lin Zhan looked at Lin Feng and said slowly: "The Seven Heroes of the Imperial Capital, the Heavenly Star Pillar." The Zhang family, the Ma family, the Zhou family, the Dongfang family, the Situ family, the Sima family and our Lin family, these seven families are basically heroes who followed the emperor to conquer the Quartet. After the new emperor ascended the throne, these seven families were edicted to assist the new emperor, and at the same time, the main power of the Celestial Star Empire was divided. The Zhang family was responsible for selecting civil officials, the Zhou family was responsible for presiding over the government affairs, the Dongfang family was responsible for the imperial money and grain, and the Sima family was responsible for supervising the hundred officials. The army is jointly controlled by the Lin family, the Situ family, and the Ma family. In this way, a situation was formed in which the seven major families jointly controlled the Celestial Star Empire. For now, there is no force in the Empire that can shake the position of our seven families. It can be said that the seven of us are the cornerstone of the empire's stability and prosperity, and the demise or even shock of any one will affect the development of this empire. But big brother, in addition to our seven families, there is an even more powerful family in the empire, you didn't say it. ”
Lin Feng's eyes moved, and he said solemnly: "You mean the royal family." ”
"That's right. The royal family is the most powerful force in the entire empire, and its strength is far above the seven major families. ”
"The reason why the Seven Great Families can have such a powerful position in the Celestial Star Empire is that the premise is the alliance of interests between them and the royal family. The essence of the existence of the Seven Families is to serve the royal family. The royal family needs the Seven Great Families to run the empire for him, and the Seven Great Families need to get the position of power he wants from the Imperial Family. It is precisely with such an alliance of interests that the situation of the Celestial Star Empire today will be formed. ”
For those in power, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are merely a tool to flaunt themselves. The only thing they really care about is pure profit.
Lin Feng also has a clear understanding of this. He just didn't want to think too much about it before.
But today, Lin Zhan unabashedly took off the glamorous coat between the major families and the royal family. Put this naked in front of Lin Feng. What Lin Zhan wanted was definitely not something simple.
Lin Feng looked at Lin Zhan with a solemn expression: "Brother, what do you want to say?"
"Trying to say something you should understand but don't want to understand. Lin Zhan said unceremoniously: "The exchange of interests between the seven major families and the royal family is the basis for their coexistence. But nothing is absolute, and there are two circumstances that make this exchange of benefits impossible. ”
"The first is that the royal family finds that one of the seven forces is no longer able to play its corresponding role and help him continue to effectively manage the empire. In other words, this family can no longer give the royal family the same benefits as his status, and at this time, there is no need for the royal family to continue to exist. ”
"The second is that the power of a certain family has been excessively expanded, and it has broken away from the scope of the seven major families restricting each other, and has reached an unprecedented height. That's when things are reversed. As a result, the royal family will not be able to give him benefits equal to his strength, and this situation also touches the bottom line of the royal family. The royal family will also make the family disappear from this world. ”
"The second is significantly more dangerous than the first. In the first case, the royal family allowed him to happen. Because this family has lost its role and also lost its threat to the royal family, the royal family's mercy may allow the family to retreat. But the second scenario is intolerable to the royal family. Because the strength of this family has swelled to the point where it can threaten the royal family. The royal family can't give him the benefits he deserves, so it doesn't matter if the family wants to do it or not. The royal family will go all out to suppress this family just in case. I don't mind letting that family disappear from this world completely when necessary. ”
Lin Zhan's unceremonious words made Lin Feng's face a little pale. Although Lin Zhan didn't say it by name, Lin Feng already understood what Lin Zhan meant.
"Brother, do you want to say that the Lin family is now in this second situation. ”
"Isn't it?" Lin Zhan asked with a smile, "You should know the specific situation of the Lin family better than me. And with your wisdom you shouldn't fail to think of that. The Lin family may not have reached the point where it must be completely erased, but there are a lot of suppressions from all directions. ”
Lin Feng bit his lip tightly, unwilling to say a word. He could naturally think of what Lin Zhan said, but Lin Feng was reluctant to think in this direction before.
Lin Feng has accepted the idea of loyalty and patriotism since he was a child. Lin Tianxiao taught Lin Feng since he was a child that the meaning of the Lin family's existence in this world is to be loyal to the royal family and the Tianxing Empire.
Lin Feng, who was shaped by the strict family style of the Lin family, has abided by this sentence as his lifelong creed since he was a child, and regards it as even more important than his own life.
But suddenly one day, Lin Feng found that the object of his allegiance with his life actually began to use various means to constantly suppress the Lin family, and even some unscrupulous means. It is unimaginable how much of an impact this unfair treatment has had on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was taught from a young age to be loyal to the Celestial Star Empire. But when the object of his allegiance suddenly turned against him, Lin Feng's shock could not be concealed. And after the shock, what followed was a deep sadness and confusion.
Lin Feng wants to be loyal to the royal family, which is an oath he has made since childhood. But now the royal family in front of Lin Feng asked Lin Feng to be loyal.
Loyalty to the royal family means watching his family being suppressed step by step and being indifferent, just like Lin Tianxiao has done over the years. How can the young and vigorous Lin Feng swallow this breath.
But if you choose to protect the family, you will inevitably have conflicts with the royal family, which is contrary to your beliefs since childhood. Again, Lin Feng, who is not proud, can accept it.
Lin Feng, who had oscillated back and forth between his beliefs and his family since childhood, painfully found that he had no way to make a clear choice between the two. In the end, in order to escape this pain, Lin Feng forced himself not to think about this problem.
But Lin Feng didn't expect that this issue would be brought up again by Lin Zhan at this time.
Lin Zhan did this after careful consideration.
There can't be only one smart person in this world. What they can see clearly, the Lin family in it can naturally understand it. But Lin Tianxiao, who was full of thoughts of loyalty to the monarch, was pressed on it, and the Lin family couldn't take any action even if they saw anything.
Although Lin Zhan believed that Lin Tianxiao would not watch the Lin family really be completely wiped out, Lin Tianxiao would not take any drastic actions until he was on the verge of life and death.
In this way, the Lin family will only be suppressed step by step, and God knows how much damage the Lin family will suffer in the process.
The royal family's marriage gift is a means to further suppress the Lin family, but this method is much more secretive.
Since Lin Zhan decided to do something for the Lin family, he naturally had to find a way to change the situation. But in terms of Lin Zhan's current strength, it is impossible to change the forces outside the Lin family, so Lin Zhan can only hit the Lin family with his ideas.
And in the Lin family, the Lin Feng in front of him was obviously the easiest object to be pulled over by himself.
Lin Tianxiao was too stubborn, he would not move unless the Lin family was in a desperate situation. The three brothers of Lin Kecheng may not be as difficult as Lin Tianxiao, but they listen to Lin Tianxiao too much, and Lin Zhan is really not sure that he can turn them around now.
In the end, Lin Feng was left.
As the leader of the younger generation of the empire, Lin Feng is high-spirited and arrogant. This kind of person is the most reluctant to accept the oppression of others. What's more, it's this naked suppression of the royal family. Moreover, Lin Feng is only seventeen years old this year, which is the critical moment when his mind is slowly maturing, and it is also the time when he is most likely to be hot-headed and provoked.
So Lin Zhan immediately chose to attack Lin Feng.
As long as a seed is planted in Lin Feng's heart now, after Lin Feng really matures in a few years, this seed will also become a towering tree and take firm root in Lin Feng's heart.
