Chapter 18: The Past of Xianggong (I)
The eight sects of the Song State are connected with the same qi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
No matter what ups and downs the Song State has experienced, no matter how the situation in the Song State changes, the blood of these eight suzerains is still thicker than water.
The only regret is that Huan Mai once suffered a catastrophe and fell from the peak to the trough, and many people even thought that Huan Mai had lost its descendants.
Unexpectedly, Huan Chang suddenly held the Huan Vein Jade Pendant now, and obtained the inheritance of the Book Sword Pavilion, which made every family owner show an excited look on his face.
In the entire Song Kingdom, only these family heads know what the significance of the Huanmai Jade Pendant and the Shujian Pavilion is to the Song Kingdom.
It is no exaggeration to say that without the Huanmai Jade Pendant and the Book Sword Pavilion, the Song Kingdom cannot be called the Song Kingdom.
"After three hundred years, the eight jade pendants are finally gathered again!"
At this time, even Song Gong, who was invisible, showed excitement in his eyes.
"Let's go, Ah Chang will follow me to the Guogong Mansion first. ”
Song Gong put away his jade pendant, waved his arm and said, his face full of excitement.
The rest of the family heads also put away the jade pendant, followed behind Song Gong, and headed towards the mansion, each with an excited look on their faces.
Song Gong's study room has a lot of books neatly placed, exuding the aroma of ink.
Several people walked into the study, and after finding a place to sit down, they all focused on Huan Chang.
Facing everyone's gaze, Huan Chang also felt that it was difficult to calm down in his heart, and he took a deep breath before saying, "I came here this time to find out my life experience. ”
Huan Chang clenched the jade pendant in his hand, staring at Song Gong with his eyes.
Although Huan Chang had been able to guess a lot of things from everyone's reactions, he still wondered why his parents left their hometown and lived in seclusion in a small mountain village in Lu Country.
When those family heads heard this, they all set their eyes on Song Gong and motioned to the other party to answer this question.
Song Gong took a deep breath, and then said with a heavy face: "Seeing the jade pendant in our hands, Ah Chang should be able to guess that he also belongs to the Song State Clan. ”
In fact, the surname Huan Yu Pei was passed down from Xianggong, and the surname Huan was the orthodox descendant of the Song State and the legitimate successor of the Song State. ”
When Huan Chang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Although he had long thought that his background might be inextricably linked to the Song family, he still did not expect that he was the descendant of Song Xianggong.
Song Xianggong, who was a famous monarch in the history of the Song Kingdom, relied on his extraordinary ability to carry forward the weak Song State, and then became one of the five overlords.
At that time, the Song State, although it was not as good as the Jin State ruled by Duke Wen of Jin, nor as good as the State of Qi ruled by Duke Huan of Qi, was still not to be underestimated, attracting heroes from Kyushu to vote one after another.
It's just that Song Xianggong rose like a comet, but fell like a meteor, and the Song Kingdom was also short-lived, and then went into decline again.
Huan Chang knew that the ancestor of the Shujian Pavilion had a good relationship with Song Xianggong, and naturally had reverence for this most outstanding monarch in the history of the Song Kingdom.
Now that he learns that he is the descendant of Song Xianggong, Huan Chang can't help but feel mixed feelings in his heart.
"Three hundred years ago, the five major vassal states of Kyushu jointly attacked many sects, and Xianggong led the Song army and swept almost all the sects in the Song Kingdom. ”
"However, Xianggong is benevolent and righteous, and only fights against the enemy in a dignified and upright division, even if many sects are broken, Xianggong still does not kill them all. ”
"I never thought that later, the remnants of those sects united to invite the masters to kill the capital of the Song State together, and the descendants of the Xianggong lineage were almost slaughtered. ”
"According to rumors, only one baby escaped with his life, but after the defeat of the Song army, this baby also disappeared without a trace, and we all thought it was just a false rumor. ”
"I never thought that Xianggong really has descendants alive, presumably Ah Chang is the descendant of that baby!"
"God bless me Da Song!"
Song Gong looked at Huan Chang eagerly, looking quite excited.
Huan often heard this, but his heart was shocked.
He had long heard that in that war, the Song clan was almost slaughtered, resulting in no one in the Xianggong clan to take over the throne, and the Song clan had the opportunity to rule the Song state.
In the past, after hearing this, although he felt regretful in his heart, he did not have such a strong shock.
But now that he learned that those who were slaughtered were his own ancestors, Huan Chang couldn't help but clench his fists.
"My ancestor of the Sword Pavilion is famous for his martial arts, and the army of the Song Kingdom was also very strong back then, why was it defeated, and why was the clan slaughtered?"
Huan Chang asked loudly, wanting to know the details.
Although Huan Chang knew some things for a long time, he only knew the general situation, how the Song State was defeated, and how the Song clan was slaughtered, Huan Chang did not know at all.
Unexpectedly, Duke Song and those family heads heard Huan Chang's questioning, but there was a hesitant look on their faces.
"Please tell me!"
Huan often saw everyone's expressions, and knew that there must be a hidden situation here, and this hidden secret made everyone reluctant to mention it.
He immediately stood up and saluted deeply to everyone, with a determined look in his eyes.
"Well, since you are a descendant of Xianggong's lineage, you are naturally qualified to know the whole story of this matter. ”
Song Gong hurriedly stepped forward, held Huan Chang's arms, and then told a story from the past.
Three hundred years ago, the Song State was indeed powerful, not only with masters like Shujian Pavilion sitting in the capital, but also with a strong army as the foundation.
At the beginning of the war, the Song army was overwhelming, killing the major sects in the country one after another.
But as mentioned before, Song Xianggong ruled the country with benevolence, and even if he broke through those sects, he still released many people.
For this matter, there are still many generals who are dissatisfied, but Song Xianggong said nothing in the Song Kingdom, even if these people spoke and admonished, Song Xianggong still insisted on going his own way.
After a long time, the remnants of the sects that were broken one by one actually gathered together to form a huge force.
The major sects have a long heritage, not only with many masters, but also with a lot of armies.
The turning point of the Song Kingdom began at that time.
Three hundred years ago, the Song State was full of smoke, and Song Xianggong led the elite of the Song State to sweep away one sect after another, and it was the time to be complacent.
At this time, someone said to Song Xianggong: "Although the major sects have been broken, there are not a few troops commanded by the remnants of those sects, and the king should take the opportunity to break them one by one to avoid future troubles." ”
When Song Xianggong heard this, he laughed loudly: "The earth and the tile dog, it is not enough to worry about it, if I chase and kill them one by one, it will definitely be a protracted war." ”
"Now that I have destroyed his sect with great momentum, and then let these people leave with benevolence and righteousness, there must be people among whom who can see the situation clearly and surrender. ”
"Even if there are still those who are stubborn and resistant, after they gather together, I will fight and destroy them, which is the right way!"
When the generals heard this, there were not a few opponents, but Song Xianggong had made up his mind, and it was difficult for everyone to continue to advise.
