Chapter 186: Zhongzhou Fan Family

Sure enough, after the end of the court meeting, the incident of the envoys of the affiliated dynasties entering the contribution ceremony soon detonated Kyoto and spread outward, becoming a major event.

Of course, if the officials reveal it, they will naturally say three points, and ninety-seven points will be hidden, and people at different levels will see different meanings.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the affiliated dynasty came to contribute to the ceremony, which was an honor for the people of the Yu Dynasty and a recognition of the new emperor.

………… Zhongzhou, as the largest and richest state of the Yu Dynasty, has a lot of land and resources, and I don't know how many hidden families are hidden in Zhongzhou.

In the past few days, the news that Li Yao has announced the edict of the envoys of various dynasties to enter Beijing has spread throughout Zhongzhou. In Zhongzhou, the hermit family, who has always been concerned about the situation of the Dayu Dynasty, naturally also noticed the meaning of the arrival of the dynasty envoy.

Zhongzhou Tianlan Mansion, a county in a city, on the north side of the city, there is a luxurious and magnificent mansion far superior to the city lord's mansion, covering an area of hundreds of acres, the high gate compound, the courtyard houses are grouped, continuous into a piece, majestic and magnificent.

In the most central hall, the layout is antique, the space is spacious, the chairs and tables are placed in an orderly manner, there are exquisite vases placed on several cases, and incense is lit next to a table next to it.

The Fan family of Tianlan Mansion is one of the top hermit families in Zhongzhou.

"Family master, I don't agree with the Fan family's entry." On the left and right sides were the elders of the Fan family and important members of the family, who were discussing a major matter about the fate of the Fan family.

The one who spoke was an old man with gray hair and still bright eyes, the great elder of the Fan family. The five elders of the Fan family also expressed his thoughts: "It is not yet the late stage of the chaos of the Dayu Dynasty, why did our Fan family come out so early, when the situation in the states is clear, we can screen the last few forces to take refuge." ”

"yes, it's too early."

"It's really not a good time to get in." Many Fan family elders nodded, according to the situation in each state, the imperial court still has an advantage, and it is too early to be born.

Even if you enter, at least you have to wait for the Danzhou Town Mansion and King Xuan to divide the victory. Above the main seat, the head of the Fan family, who proposed to let the Fan family enter, had an indifferent face, white hair and white beard, but he had a unique temperament, which was convincing.

His gaze looked down, and in the lobby, in addition to the older generation, there were also the younger generation of elite children.

"You are all members of my Fan family, you can say what you think." Hearing the words of the Fan family master, the elders had serious faces and were silent, while the younger generation was ready to move, but when they saw that the elders did not speak, they did not dare to speak.

As the elite children of the family, they have no talent and ability, and they can't show it, if they wait until the late stage of the hegemony to be born, the prestige of their peers in other forces will already surpass them, and where will there be any opportunities in the future.

"Since the elders don't speak, then let me speak." A gentle young man in a gorgeous white robe inlaid with gold threads stood up, holding a jade fan in one hand, a warm and flawless jade hanging from his waist, and a rather handsome face with a faint smile, like a spring breeze.

The third son of the Fan family, Fan He.

"I think it's a good thing that the Fan family has entered the market now and joined the forces in advance. The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow! What is the purpose of our Fan family's entry, not to make the Fan family stronger. What do we get when we really wait for the late admission? The jealousy of the lord of power, the contempt and exclusion of the alliance, get a little bit of fame and a little bit of profit. Instead of going to the back and intriguing with them, it is better to join the choice side in advance and become a real henchman. After the victory of the big forces that have taken refuge, why worry that the Fan family is not prosperous! ”

"Entering in advance, the family's strength is easy to lose too much, and if you are not careful, it will be another disaster. Although I entered the market later, I didn't get much, but I won steadily. An elder persuaded bitterly.

The Fan family has failed in the past, and it is only now that they have recovered their vitality, and they are qualified to participate in the battle for hegemony, so they are naturally cautious.

"If you want to be stable, then why don't we stay quiet all the time, why wait for the later stage to enter, and let the world know that our Fan family has always had no quarrel with the world, wouldn't it be better." A burly, eight-foot-tall man in the younger generation couldn't get used to the steadiness of the family elders, and he didn't say anything politely.

This person's prestige is good, as soon as he opened his mouth, many young and vigorous disciples also spoke: "Since our Fan family is preparing to enter in this troubled era, why don't you enter in advance, the young children of other forces are fighting and tempering on the battlefield one by one, playing prestige one by one, and playing the prestige of the family, we will shrink into the family and watch them become stronger than ourselves step by step?" ”

"When we get to the later stage, we will join one of the forces, can that force arrange important positions for us?"

"The later stage is a decisive battle, do we still have a stage to show our talents?"

"In the later stage of the troubled times, the generals under the command of the top forces have been finalized, and if we join in, we will always be crushed by the children of other forces!"

"When the time comes, don't say that the Fan family will be more prosperous, it will be good if it is not suppressed." Some of the young children had fierce fighting intent in their eyes.

Now how many sons of the same generation have emerged in the war in various states, every time they hear their achievements, they can't wait to go to the battlefield immediately and show their strength to become famous in the world!

The elders looked at the thoughts of these young children, and their hearts were a little shaken. The younger generation of the family has family training, and their talents and strength are naturally first-class.

But if you don't go out to test, you can't grow, and your abilities and abilities are tempered by battles. And war is the easiest environment for people to grow.

As they said, if you really wait for the later stage, the peers who come out early to temper have become a general trend, and it will be difficult for them to catch up and surpass!

The head of the Fan family looked at the backs of this group of families full of fighting spirit, revealing a satisfied look. Young people should look like young people are fighting.

"I agreed to enter in advance, isn't it just for the arrival of this life that our Fan family has been dormant for so long." The second elder of the Fan family also spoke.

An elder on his side clasped his hands around his chest, and also spoke: "Then fight, even if it fails, it's a big deal that our Fan family will continue to hide in the world." ”

"Agreed!" As several elders nodded, the eyes of the younger generation became brighter and brighter. As a group of people who opposed early admission, their eyes looked at the Great Elder.

"Don't forget, we're in Zhongzhou now, if we enter, which side are we going to choose?" And there was no anger in the eyes of the Great Elder, but with a scrutinizing gaze, he swept over Fan He, who had just spoken, Fan Peng, who was burly, and a woman with a beautiful face among the two of them.

These three people are the most outstanding three of the younger generation of the Fan family. Wen Fan He, Wu Fan Peng, Nengwen Neng Wu Fan Xuexi.

All the elders also looked at them, as soon as they entered, the Fan family must have sent some people to go first, and they were mainly young people.

After all, the Fan family will also be in charge of them in the future. Since the young talents of the family want to go out and show their strengths, they naturally have to test them.

The head of the Fan family still didn't speak, and also looked at these three outstanding juniors quietly, if nothing else, the position of the future head of the family was among the three of them.

The young children of the Fan family also looked at the three leaders of the younger generation. I saw that the three people who were all eyes gathered said in unison: "Emperor Yao!" ”

"King Ming!"

"King Honor!" As soon as the words fell, all three of them frowned and looked at each other. The crowd also looked at them with wide eyes and amazement.

Emperor Yao was said by Fan He, King Ming was said by Fan Peng, and King Yu was said by Fan Xuexi. Hearing that the three of them had different answers, the Fan family head raised his eyebrows, but asked with interest: "The three of them have three different answers, but you are beyond my expectations." ”

"Do any of you think differently?" The Fan family master's gaze swept over the others. The others all shook their heads silently, but looked at Fan He, Fan Wu, and Fan Xuexi, wanting to see why they chose these people.

Especially the clansmen who disagreed with their choice of these three forces.

"Okay, it seems that everyone wants to know what you think, three people with three different answers, but for the time being, we can only choose one side of the force, talk about your thoughts, at least convince the elders and the clansmen." The head of the Fan family looked at the three of them expectantly, some of them agreed with him, but as he said, which one you choose, at least convince those who disagree.

At this moment, Fan He and Fan Xuexi both looked at each other, and their eyes showed thought. And Fan Peng, who was burly, was the first to speak: "The reason why I chose King Ming is very simple, because I think King Ming has a great advantage and is very affectionate. He is now fighting against the forces of the two states, and he needs the support of powerful forces. If our Fan family takes refuge in him at this time, he will definitely be very grateful in his heart, and he will not treat our Fan family badly. Once King Ming gets the help of our Fan family, defeats the two states, and then takes Lingzhou and Lianzhou, it will be enough to have five states, and the advantage is great! Reading and hearing Fan Peng's answer, many people nodded, but some people shook their heads.

Then he looked at Fan He and Fan Xuexi.

"I'll do it first." Fan He smiled slightly at Fan Xuexi, although he had different opinions, he had no hostile thoughts towards the two.

They all know that it's all for the sake of the family, it's just a difference of opinion. Fan He got up and said, "There are three reasons why I chose Yaohuang. ”

"First, the most stable and powerful thing now is still the imperial court, backed by a strong imperial court, and the danger that our Fan family faces when they take refuge is reduced.

"Second, we all underestimated Emperor Yao's ability, first married the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites as a concubine, expressed his attitude towards the court officials, established an expert factory to deter officials, and gave both grace and grace, and then took the opportunity to marry the daughter of Prime Minister Lin Cheng, further control the imperial court, invite Fang Wukui at night, subdue a group of veterans, and have military power." When Fan He said this, he smiled at everyone and said, "Emperor Yao has controlled the imperial court in such a short period of time, which must have surprised everyone. At this sentence, even the Great Elder nodded slightly.

"Third, Emperor Yao is now in control of the imperial court, and has already sent Fang Wukui to Qingzhou, which has opened up the situation." Hearing Fan He's words, Fan Xuexi's spirit was shocked.

Fan He didn't notice her expression and continued: "And now none of the hidden families has chosen to take refuge in Emperor Yao, as a forerunner, no matter what Emperor Yao thinks of us, we will definitely reuse us." Qingzhou raised troops, and in the future, Yaohuang will continue to send troops to Qingzhou and Yanzhou. This is our opportunity for the Fan family to make meritorious contributions. Therefore, I think it is a good choice to join Yaohuang. ”

"Not bad!" The Great Elder said a good word. Everyone also nodded in unison, it was indeed a good choice to take refuge in Emperor Yao.

The Fan family, as the first big force to take refuge in Emperor Yao, not to mention anything else, just with this reputation, even if they don't do anything behind, Emperor Yao will not treat them badly.

"Xuexi, what do you think?" The head of the Fan family did not express his position, but continued to ask Fan Xuexi. I saw Fan Xuexi standing straight, full of heroism, and said with blazing eyes: "My previous idea was because King Yu was in the most stable situation, and the surrounding enemy was also a Liangzhou Alliance, before King Yu sent troops to Qingzhou, it can be seen that Yangzhou adjacent to Liangzhou has entered the hands of King Yu, not surprisingly, King Yu should be the first prince to take the land of the two states, plus Yanzhou and Qingzhou are at war, you can also take the opportunity to take Yanzhou to expand your power." King Ming dealt with the alliance of Feng and Huan, and there was a king of Chu next to him, and the two of them would have a battle sooner or later. And King Xuan has little chance of winning against the Zhenguo Mansion, even if he can really win against Chu Junxiong, he will only win miserably. The head of the Fan family nodded, noticing Fan Xuexi's statement at the beginning.

"What did you think?"

"So you have a new idea now?"

"That's right!" Fan Xuexi glanced at Fan He.

"I think what Fan He said makes sense, I haven't taken Emperor Yao to heart before, because Emperor Yao is surrounded by enemies, whether it is King Ming, King Yu, King Xuan or Zhenguo Mansion, as well as those alliance forces, whoever wins and loses in each state has to deal with Emperor Yao. But I ignore the current situation of Emperor Yao, now Emperor Yaohuang sent troops to Qingzhou, saying that he has opened the situation that he is imprisoned in Zhongzhou, if he takes Qingzhou, and then sits and watches the town of the country and King Xuan fight, and then they fight to defeat both sides, and then send troops, when the time comes, take the two states to defeat the two major enemies, plus we take the lead in taking refuge, there will be a steady stream of other forces to take refuge, it can be truly unstoppable. If we take refuge in King Yu, when King Yu takes the two states and attacks the Yanzhou forces, we will also meet the imperial court. With the strength of King Yu alone, he may not be able to defeat Emperor Yao, and King Xuan is at war with Zhenguo Mansion. And Emperor Yao's advance can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and it is not impossible to attack King Yu with surprise troops. It is indeed a good choice to take refuge in Yaohuang. Fan Xuexi's eyes sparkled, and his words were loud.

The crowd fell into deep thought. It seems that taking refuge in Emperor Yao is indeed a good choice for the Fan family. As for why everyone in the Fan family chose the royal forces instead of those rebel forces, the reason is very simple.

They are now in Zhongzhou, and if they want to enter early, it is impossible to choose those rebel forces. First of all, the Fan family will move the whole clan to other forces, otherwise Emperor Yao will be the first to destroy the Fan family.

Choosing the royal forces, at least they are still royalty, and before Emperor Yao confronts King Ming or King Yu, they are still safe in Zhongzhou.
