Chapter 162: The Xiao Family
Xiao family.
The hidden first-class family that always pays attention to the situation in the capital, after so many years of dormancy, whether it can rise again depends on how it works in the changes of the Yan Kingdom this time.
has a background, but it has not yet appeared in front of the world, and if it lacks its name, it lacks integrity.
The affairs of the Zhang family, they must know, but the Xiao family does not have a large group of people to discuss matters like the Lu family.
The Xiao family adjusted to zero, and accepted the conditions of many families and royals back then, that is, each boy could only give birth to one boy.
At the same time, all the children of the concubine must be expelled from the Xiao family tree, and at the same time, it is not allowed to fund and cultivate in the name of the Xiao family.
The Xiao family has been lonely for so many years, and the number of people is extremely scarce, but fortunately, there are a lot of resources left by the ancestors, even if they are encroached upon, but due to the decision to be forced to separate.
The Xiao family has occupied the first family for many years, and most of the children of the family are useless.
This agreement with other families also gives the Xiao family the opportunity to choose the best.
Because many children of the Xiao family were forced to change their surnames, they lost the protection of the Xiao family, were displaced, and left Germany.
Coupled with other families fanning the flames, the prestige of the Xiao family plummeted.
After the first emperor ascended the throne, he united many families to dismember the Xiao family with such a soft knife.
caused the Xiao family to adjust to zero.
In the past twenty years, the Xiao family has been suppressed by the family and the royal family.
At that time, the first family of the new ascendant was the Zhang family, and it gave the Xiao family too much harm on behalf of the family.
This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Minghui does not have too deep friends with Zhang Xinian.
Originally, it was a place of death, but seeing that the Zhang family was down, it was already good if he didn't come forward to ridicule him, and he still wanted to pity you and hold with you, which was basically impossible.
The Xiao family began to talk about other people's visions because of their despondency, and developed silently.
Until the fall of the Zhang family, they replaced the Xiao family and became the interest group represented by the Lu family, a new generation of families, under continuous blows.
The Zhang family can be said to be much worse than the Xiao family.
even let a woman be in charge.
The Xiao family's long-term low profile, coupled with the Zhang family's attention, finally got a chance to breathe.
Even so, they did not stand up and blatantly attack the Zhang family.
Instead, he lowered his head and worked hard to recollect the 'children of the Zhang family' who were outcast.
Because they didn't have a proper name and didn't want other people's eyes to focus on the Xiao family, their generation was condensed by Xiao Minghui's father, Xiao Guanglin.
In addition to not officially recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, but while the cohesion of the Xiao family has not dissipated, they finally reluctantly became a family again.
When Xiao Minghui grew up, the Xiao family's bright face power and hidden power finally reached the standard of a first-class family.
Compared with the year, it must be slightly inferior, but compared to other second-rate families, it must be greatly exceeded.
What the Xiao family is waiting for is an opportunity, an opportunity to correct their reputation.
A chance to give all the 'wandering' people of the Xiao family an upright surname Xiao.
The down-and-out Xiao family has also formed an opportunity for the inherent interests of the family to waver, and the older generation has been favored by the Xiao family since childhood.
When the main family is forced to reduce its sphere of influence, other families will definitely gnaw at the power of the Xiao family.
This has caused turmoil, and many new children have been affected.
The displacement has long been the tenacity and rebellious temperament of the people of this place.
In the original Xiao family's territory, there was a turmoil of riots.
Naturally, I can't hide from their eyeliner.
Originally, those territories had become someone else's power, but the power of the family actually controlled the local people through the local gentry.
After more than 40 years of layout and development, the new places where there is turmoil have actually been replaced by the children of the Xiao family.
That place is actually the territory of the Liu family today.
Nominally belongs to the Liu family, although the Xiao family's 'wandering people' actually control the place, it is the name of the Liu family that can be borrowed.
That place has also been rented to the Liu family.
There are many places like this, because the Xiao family is too scattered, the places that are sporadically controlled are divided into the control of several different families.
In this way, you can rely on the power of other families to cover up for yourself, which is conducive to the actual growth of the Xiao family.
Of course, because of the distance, if there is an urgent matter and more contact is needed, it must be arranged in advance, which is very time-consuming.
Fortunately, the Xiao family has always been low-key and has no thoughts of doing big things in the near future.
Even when Li Xurui was competing for the throne, they didn't come forward, they just went with the flow.
It's a neutral.
With such a faction, the new emperor will not be reused when he ascends the throne, nor will he be suppressed.
After all, it is also a family, and arbitrary suppression will cause a backlash.
The fruits of the victors are gathered mainly by plundering the losers.
When the power of the Yan Kingdom is basically stable, there will basically be no too explosive gains.
The greatest gain is in the name of righteousness.
The Lu family is using the name of righteousness to strengthen their family.
Power has always been the supreme pursuit of man.
The Xiao family's attention to Yanjing City is not as concerned as the Lu family, even if Yanjing City is broken, at most it will be affected, and it will not have a fatal impact on them.
On the contrary, it is the local chaotic people, because the Xiao family is the actual controller of that place, and the damage is real.
Nominally, the Liu family was damaged, but once the matter became big, those rioters would rush into the squire's house that usually 'oppressed' them.
This issue is something that the Xiao family has to pay attention to.
The Xiao family also decided the affairs of the clan with two people, and the specific things were not convenient for people to know too much because they involved too many secrets.
The current head of the Xiao family, Xiao Guanglin, and the young family, Xiao Minghui.
When the situation changes dramatically, it is the most important time to test the ability.
Although Xiao Guanglin has crippled legs, he is still the head of the Xiao family.
Xiao Minghui grew up under his education.
Yanjing City is too comfortable, and it is difficult to have any major events for the younger generation to experience.
Xiao Minghui was able to endure in such an environment, thanks to his father's education.
After learning about what happened in the capital, he did not express any opinion at the first time.
Instead, let the son speak first and see how he sees the current situation.
Xiao Minghui said: "The child thinks that the current situation in Yanjing City is unknown, and my Xiao family has always been low-key, even if it needs to return to the eyes of the world, it is not at this time, so as not to be taken advantage of by others and deliberately targeted."
The Lu family has a huge power, and the last thing they want is to have variables, if our strength is exposed at this moment, they will be forced to take sides, it is better to take the opportunity to wait for things to evolve.
The first thing we have to do is to gather more information, according to the child's humble opinion, the royal family will definitely have a war with the Lu family. ”
Xiao Guanglin nodded, agreeing with his child's analysis.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess that the Lu family is too large and has already threatened the status of the royal family.
When a family reaches its peak, then it needs to be stabilized, but the ever-expanding ambition will drive the Lu family to keep demanding.
There is no bottom to man's desires.
If the Lu family continues to stay in the position of the first family, not only the royal family will tremble.
Other families are also afraid that the Lu family will continue to encroach on other families in order to satisfy their ambitions.
After all, Yan Country is so big, and there are so many resources.
If the Lu family wants to continue to grow, it must either be crowned or develop horizontally.
No matter which one it is, it will be unfavorable to others, even if Lu Yougong stands up and says at this time, the Lu family will always maintain the status quo, and no one believes it.
The Lu family also seems to know this, and has been encouraging it to maintain it, and secretly it is also constantly arranged.
This is information that only a few people can know.
Xiao Guanglin: "Now is not the time for us to focus on Yanjing City, focusing on the layout of the chaotic people, I remember that Xiaoliu is in charge of that area, right?" It was just right for him to send someone to help those rebellious people with advice. ”
Xiao Minghui knew that the little six mentioned by his father was his cousin Xiao Mingchun, whose current name was Xiao Jihuang.
The Xiao family is a newly rising local tycoon, and with continuous development in the past two decades, it has become one of the richest families in the region.
It was attached to the Liu family, and the rebellious people were not very far from the Xiao family.
After the Xiao family started, it created a good reputation, actively attracted displaced people, reclaimed wasteland for farmland, and collected taxes that were not very heavy, and in just twenty years, it became one of the most influential and powerful in the Liu family's sphere of influence.
Who would have known that it was such a family, but in fact, it was established by the wandering children of the Xiao family.
Time has forgotten too many grievances and faces, which has given the Xiao family hope to rise again.
