Volume 1 The Heaven in the Pot Chapter 10 The Eight Great Families
The young general is usually arrogant, so he immediately put aside the four words of low-key behavior that he had just promised Jun Qiong, and stepped forward to do it.
Shen Ye saw it in his eyes, annoyed in his heart, he really couldn't imagine that this person was so arrogant, and he was about to do it if he didn't agree with him.
At this moment, a hand was placed on the shoulder of the major general, preventing him from moving forward.
The major general looked back and saw that it was Jun Qiong, who had not spoken just now.
Jun Qiong shook his head, leaned into the little general's ear and whispered: "Young General, on the occasion of the Wenhui, Youzhou Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, some people's identities cannot be underestimated, we might as well explore the bottom first to see who he is." ”
The young general was disdainful in his heart, who else could he be in this medicine hall, he stopped his movements, but there was some pity in his eyes when he looked at Shen Ye, as if he was looking at a waste person.
Jun Qiong looked at Shen Ye and said in a deep voice, "I don't know who the son is?" Jun Qiong said while frowning at Shen Ye, which means that you just need to make up a noble identity casually, and you have a reason to stop the young general from making trouble.
Shen Ye didn't understand what Jun Qiong meant, and handed over the Shen family's waist card that was just pinned to his waist.
Jun Qiong was obviously stunned when he saw this, the people who can usually carry the waist card with him are either the core children of the family, or they are the same important positions in the army as the major general Xiang, he looked at Shen Ye in front of him, and said strangely in his heart: "Could it be that this person really has a big identity?" ”
When he took over, after fixing his eyes on the big Shen character on the waist card, he exclaimed in his heart: "Luzhou Shen family? How could the people of the Eight Great Families be here? Broken! The young general is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he never puts the people of the Eight Great Families in his eyes, if the two have a conflict today, it will be a conflict between Dongdaying and the Shen family. ”
Jun Qiong handed back the waist card, arched his hand at Shen Ye and said: "It's rude, it turned out to be the Shen family in Luzhou, it's offended, I'll say goodbye." ”
As he spoke, Jun Qiong pulled the young general and walked out, Jun Qiong was worried that the young general would not give up, but the young general obediently followed him without saying a word.
Jun Qiong subconsciously looked at the young general, and saw that the young general's face was pale and seemed to be greatly frightened.
"Childe is from the Shen family in Luzhou?" The guy watched the two of them leave in a gloomy manner, spat over there, and then asked Shen Ye in surprise.
"What? Do you know the Shen family? Shen Ye's heart moved.
The man said: "How could the Shen family not know, it is one of the eight great families!" ”
"What are the eight great families?"
……
"Poplar Liu Fang, Bai Shen Song Chang. Shouldn't the people of the Eight Great Families be arranged to live in the inner city of Youzhou? How does anyone live here? ”
Jun Qiong walked out of the store with the young general, he had doubts in his heart, and then looked at the ugly young general beside him, and his doubts were even worse.
The young general beside him has always not looked at the family in his eyes, don't say that a son of a family, even if the head of the family comes, it is impossible for him to retreat, why is he so nervous when he sees the Shen family's waist card.
The major general retrieved the horse from the horse pile, touched his beloved horse, and turned his head to look at Jun Qiongshi. Seeing Jun Qiong staring at him, he was surprised: "Uncle Jun, what's wrong?" ”
Jun Qiong asked tentatively, "Does the young general know the identity of this person?" ”
When the young general heard this, he said angrily: "Uncle Jun, of course I know that this is the Luzhou Shen family of the Eight Great Families, if I didn't know that I had a mission and didn't want to make a big deal about it, how would I be afraid of them?" Even if the people from the Bai family and the Fang family come, I will be able to do it! ”
Jun Qiong's heart trembled, and he secretly sweated, fortunately, the young general put the task first, otherwise the young general would definitely break into a big disaster this time, and then Jun Qiong was puzzled: "Then the young general saw the Shen character waist card, why did he react so much?" ”
When the young general heard this, he looked carefully to the left and right, and found that there was no one around, so he whispered: "Their Shen family is a member of the Eight Great Families, and Youzhou has prepared a residence for the people of the Eight Great Families in the inner city in advance, why don't they go to the inner city, but here?" ”
Jun Qiong was also puzzled, and suddenly he thought of a possibility.
Jun Qiong hesitated and said, "The young general is talking about ......"
The major general's eyes flashed, and he said, "Maybe they also have a secret mission?" I was thinking that they had the same purpose as ours. Otherwise, why don't you go to the inner city to live? ”
Jun Qiong was dumbfounded, he thought for a while and shook his head: "Impossible, this matter is very important, if the people of the Shen family and we received the same news, then they will not send someone at all, I look at the wound on the head of that son, maybe I came here just to see a doctor." However, the major general did the right thing, it is better for us to have more than one thing, and it is better to stay away from them, after all, we have a task on our part. ”
The Major General nodded approvingly. The two led the horse and walked towards the Jishitang not far away.
Did the young general really think of this, and his face changed greatly, of course not.
At this moment, he remembered the words that his father had made him remember when he was an adult.
……
"Shao'er, you have to remember that when you walk in the world in the future, you must be respectful to the people of a family, and never provoke the other party."
At that time, the young general did not see the arrogance of today on his face, and some were just respectful and steady: "What did my father say about the Bai family in Luzhou?" The child has heard that the Bai family is the head of today's eight great families, since the Bai family ancestors developed, the Bai family has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, after three dynasties, dozens of prime ministers, strong heritage. ”
The old general shook his head and said, "The Bai family has been inherited for many years, and the foundation is indeed strong, but this generation of Bai family heads is now pursuing a policy of Taoguang and obscurity for some reasons, and they are polite to my Dugu family, so I am not very afraid of them." ”
The young general thought for a while: "It's not the Bai family, it's the Fang family?" Fang Xiang's ability is outstanding and trusted by His Majesty, and his strategy for governing the country is supported by hundreds of officials, and now almost everyone in the world knows Fang Xiang. ”
The old general shook his head again: "Although Fang Xiang's power leans towards the government and the opposition, the children of the Fang family also take advantage of Fang Xiang's protection and gradually enter the court, but the Fang family's power in the court started late, except for Fang Xiang, the Fang family has no descendants who can provoke the big beam for the time being, and Fang Xiang is also based on the trust of the saint, if one day, Fang Xiang falls out of favor, then the Fang family will also decline." ”
The major general hesitated: "Isn't it the Eight Great Families?" Are there any other big families that haven't been born? “
The old general smiled: "It's one of the eight families, but it's not the two of them." ”
The young general frowned: "Father, the Eight Great Families, Baiyang Liu Fang, Bai Shen Song Chang, I really don't know which of the other six families can compare with these two today, we are not afraid of these two families, how can we be afraid of one of the other six families?" ”
When the old general heard this, his eyes flashed slightly: "Child, do you know that a few decades ago, there was no title of the Eight Great Families in the world?" At that time, there were only the so-called "four great families" in the world. ”
The young general was seduced by curiosity: "The Four Great Families? What are the four great families? ”
The old general looked at him and said, "These four families are the Luzhou Bai family, the Luzhou Yang family, the Luzhou Liu family and the Song family. And later "Fang, Shen, Bai, Chang" is because of some relationship with my Dugu family, with the chaos in the world, followed by my Dugu family to take advantage of the trend, the four of them either gave great help when our Dugu family got up, or after my Dugu family won the world, the first to return to Shun, stabilize the court. Therefore, after the success of my Dugu family, I reciprocated the favor, and also in order to let it and the four old families balance each other, so I secretly supported these families. At that time, the old people preferred to call "Baiyang Liu Song" as the four great families, and "Fang Shen Baichang" as the four small families, but even among the four small families, before helping us, there was also the existence of the second only to the four great families, which was not comparable to other ordinary families outside, such as the Xuanzhou Chang family at that time, which was the richest family in the world. And after the so-called four small families have been supported and cared for by the imperial court, they have become stronger in more than ten years, led by the Fang family where Fang Xiang is located, and now they can be on an equal footing with the original four great families just by looking at the surface strength, so in recent years, they have unified the saying of the eight great families. ”
The old general looked at the young general: "And among these families, the Shen family is the most mysterious, no one knows why the Shen family rose, and I don't know why the Shen family was supported by the Dugu family, which has always been incomprehensible to outsiders." ”
The young general said in disbelief: "Father, you are a core member of the family, don't you know the origin of the Shen family?" ”
The old general sighed: "I have checked privately before, the Shen family used to be just a small family in business, and there was no foundation in the court. But later, when the Shen family rose in Luzhou, they started a car dealership business, which inevitably had a conflict with the Song family who was also in Luzhou, mainly in the car dealership business, as far as I know, at that time a mysterious person suddenly appeared in the Shen family, no one knew who his surname was, only that he was outstanding in appearance and superior in force. But he is the one who has made the Song family, one of the four great families, decline and go downhill, and he has not dared to act in a high-profile manner until now. ”
The major general breathed a sigh of relief and pursed his lips: "Forgive the child for being disrespectful, just for this reason, why should my father be afraid of him, we are a royal family, and we still have heavy troops, after all, he is just a person, a person?" ”
The young general paused, thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "Could it be that he is the legendary three wonders of the world?" But don't the people say that the three wonders of the world are a madman, a scholar and a prisoner? ”
The old general sneered: "The story of the three wonders of the world is just made up nonsense by those storytellers, how can it be taken seriously?" ”
The old general continued: "Don't say it's you, I also felt that the Shen family was too unrealistic to deter a century-old family with one person, although I felt that there were some means for this person, but I didn't care too much, but it wasn't until I went back to the imperial capital to participate in the family banquet that I overheard the evaluation of this person by the first emperor and the emperor, and I had the awe of this person and the family behind it." ”
The emperor and the first emperor Duguli were both objects of great admiration for the young general since childhood, and the young general seemed to have a much softer voice and asked, "What did they say?" ”
The old general recalled the scene at that time: "When the first emperor and the emperor talked about the dispute between the Song family and the Shen family at that time, the first emperor said to the emperor: 'This man has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, and the martial arts have the courage to attack the city and plunder the land. The emperor deeply agreed, and praised: "If this person is quiet, the world will be quiet, and if he moves, the world will be chaotic, but it is a pity that this person is not in the court and cannot be used by His Majesty." The first emperor smiled and said: "In the troubled times, this person is indeed a genius in the world, but when it comes to governing the world, Mr. is the person of the ages." ’”
When the young man heard this, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
