"Don't you know how to drink? Why are you so excited when talking about the bar?" Zhang Yang asked casually.
But the questioner was unintentional, and the listener was interested. When Xichen Jinglan heard this, she immediately remembered the scene when she was so drunk that night, and the precious Taoyuan Holy Land below was almost attacked by Zhang Yang. In an instant, her pretty face suddenly changed.
Get crimson.
"It's not that I can't drink it, it's just a little bit worse." Xichen Jinglan replied in a low voice.
"Haha, okay, then I really have to go and take a look." Zhang Yang thought for a while, if he really wanted to find Si Yuan then, it seems that his home is also in that area, so it would be a good idea.
After getting off the plane, Xichen's family sent a car to take Xichen Jinglan back. After Zhang Yang watched her get into the car, he took a taxi and rushed to Qiao's house.
Mr. Qiao had been at home for a long time, and Qiao Yunfeng rushed back temporarily.
They received a call from Qiao Xier last night, so they weren't surprised that Zhang Yang made a sudden move.
But they still don't know what Zhang Yang wants to talk about.
Zhang Yang did not beat around the bush with them. After sitting down, Zhang Yang said directly: "Grandpa, how much do you know about the affairs of the general clan and the prime minister clan?"
When Qiao Zhengguo heard this, he was startled and hurriedly closed the door of the study room. Then he looked at Zhang Yang and Qiao Yunfeng and asked with a surprised look on his face: "How do you know this?"
"People from the Cai family..." Zhang Yang felt that there was no need to hide it from him.
"Cai Bing, right?" Qiao Zhengguo said thoughtfully, "It seems that Old Man Cai finally made a good move. His granddaughter is not an easy person."
Then his eyes turned back to Zhang Yang and said calmly: "Yes, there are indeed generals and ministers."
"And some of the things that have happened recently are also related to this."
"To put it simply, the so-called Xiang clan actually evolved from some wealthy noble families in ancient times. In ancient times, they belonged to the Xuanyuan royal family. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they transformed into noble overlords of various countries. In the feudal empire era, some transformed into emperors of various dynasties, and some
We have become a family of scholar-bureaucrats. No matter how society evolves, we have always stood at the top of the social pyramid. However, these wealthy families have gone through thousands of years of baptism, especially after the Qing Dynasty and the customs and even the baptism of modern wars, and they are still standing today.
There are actually not many wealthy families left.”
"Counting it down carefully, the only ones that really belong to the big wealthy families are the Su family, the Shen family, the Gu family, the Wang family, and then our Qiao family, Cai family, Zhao family, Yan family, etc. These families have been following us since ancient times.
With the Liuying royal family conquering the country, and then creating feudal lords and breaking the earth, they have accumulated a strong foundation for thousands of years. These wealthy families form part of the Xiang clan, but they are only part of it. The other part of the Xiang clan is composed of dragon descendants.
It is composed of descendants of the mainstream shadow royal family.”
"Liuying Royal Family? Why haven't you heard of this surname?"
"Of course you won't hear it. Liuying is the surname of the Lord of the Dragonborn. It is extremely secretive. Moreover, the Lord of the Dragonborn is vacant most of the time. Only when the world undergoes great changes will there be someone with the blood of God.
The Dragonborn Lord appears."
"However, no matter when they appear in the world, they must appear among the Liuying royal family. However, there are many descendants of these royal families. The more famous ones are the five ancient families of Xichen family, Si family, Heng family, Zi family and Xuan family. They
After all the ancient Liuying Royal Clan, the Dragonborn Lords will emerge from these families, and these families are also other components of the Xiang Clan. They are hereditary Xiang Clan, but these descendants of the royal family are not as powerful as the noble families, and they are often
The population is not prosperous."
"This generation of Dragonborn Lords appeared in the world less than a hundred years ago. They are of the bloodline of the Zi family, so they are called Liuying Zi. One thing to note is that each Dragonborn Lord can only be female.
Inheritance, and although the Dragonborn Lord rules the entire Dragonborn clan, there is a rule left in ancient times. The Dragonborn Lord cannot hold any secular position, but the rules are dead, and people are alive.
Although he cannot be said to be a loner, he can control worldly forces through the two clans."
Zhang Yang frowned and asked, "What about the generals?"
"Originally, there was no difference between the General Clan and the Xiang Clan, but the division of labor between the two was different. The Xiang Clan was in charge of government, and the General Clan was in charge of the army. The number of the General Clan was once dozens of times greater than that of the Xiang Clan. However, as the waves of history washed away,
The descendants of the general clan either died in battle or were reduced in number. To this day, only four major clans can still be passed down. They are the Zhuque clan, dominated by the Yue family, the Xuanwu clan, dominated by the Meng family, and the Qinglong clan, dominated by the Yue family.
The Huo family is the main one, and the Baihu family is the main one is the Ding family.”
When Qiao Zhengguo said this, Zhang Yang suddenly understood: "I understand, then it is the Ding family of the general clan that has been trying to deal with me!"
Qiao Zhengguo nodded, then shook his head: "You can say that, but it's not entirely true."
"The White Tiger Ding family is now presided over by Ding Zhigong. This man has a warm heart in ancient times and was a strong man during the Anti-Japanese War. However, now that Ding Gong is old, the three sons he gave birth to are fighting for power and gain, so it is difficult to say anything.
Yes, but this is only one of the factors. Although there is a rift between the Qiao family and the Ding family, the Qiao family is definitely not something that the Ding family can easily manipulate... and the Ding family does not dare to do this."
"You mean, there is someone else?"
Qiao Zhengguo nodded: "Yes, unlike these worldly wealthy families, the four elders of the general clan generally take orders directly from the master of Jingshui Xuan, that is, that one..."
Although Qiao Zhengguo didn't say it clearly, Zhang Yang understood clearly that that person should undoubtedly refer to the current Lord of the Dragonborn.
"You mean that Master Liuying wants to deal with us?"
Qiao Zhengguo shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "If that person wants to deal with us, how can we be so carefree? Although the owner of Jingshui Xuan secretly controls a great power, her duty is not to provoke some conflicts.
, but to maintain the continuous forward development of society without affecting the secular order. However, after all, she is a person who hides in the dark and cannot show her face, so it is natural that someone will become her right-hand man, and the generals will not have to
Said that in the Xiang family, for example, the two powerful families of Su and Wang, as well as the Si family and the Heng family of the royal family are all favored by the madam. The most important thing is that above them, there are three princesses.
.”
"If any of these people want to cause trouble for us, the generals will not disobey them."
Zhang Yang's ears went numb after hearing this. There were so many things behind this. He never expected that Si Yuan had such a good background. That guy was actually a branch of the Liuying royal family.
"So on the surface, it's the generals under White Tiger Ding Gong's account who are dealing with you, but in fact, behind this may be someone we can't afford to offend, and this action of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger is definitely with the tacit consent of that person
Yes, but it’s no wonder, after all, our Qiao family has been so popular recently.”
"One more thing, remember, the people above are happy to see the younger generation fighting in a certain field. Without competition, there will be no growth, and if you don't grow, you will be eliminated by society, so these old people still have some face.
You guys, you guys, just do your best."
"What do you mean..." Zhang Yang understood somewhat, that is, they old guys should take care of each other's face. As for young people like Zhang Yang, they are young and energetic, so bumps and bruises are inevitable.
"I understand!" Zhang Yang understood instantly, he should have said this earlier!
"After all, this is a secular society. The behavior of the White Tiger Ding family this time has aroused the dissatisfaction of the chief above. That person also felt that it was a bit too much, so for the time being, things will be calm for a while." Qiao Yunfeng interjected.
"I understand, thank you Grandpa and Uncle Qiao for telling me this today." Zhang Yang said sincerely.
Qiao Zhengguo looked at Zhang Yang with a smile and said: "No matter what you say now, you are a member of the Qiao family. Sooner or later, Qiao Qiao will know these things. Telling you is no different from telling her."
After saying that, he suppressed his smile again and said seriously: "But these things I told you today must not be leaked out. You should also treat it as if I have never told you these things. Do you understand?"
"knew!"
Qiao Zhengguo nodded, then reached out and gently rubbed his temples, and said calmly: "I got up a little early in the morning, and I feel a little tired now. You and Yunfeng should go out first and have a meal by the way."
"Okay, grandpa, then you can rest."
Walking out of Qiao Zhengguo's study, Qiao Zhengguo suddenly said quietly from behind: "Yangzi, when are you going to give grandpa a grandson? You have to work hard."
Zhang Yang was covered in cold sweat...
It wasn't until he was far away that Qiao Yunfeng reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to the old man. People's brains are like this when they get old. You are still young and working hard in your career, and I guess even if you want
, Qiaoqiao won’t want it either.”
"Um, oh!" Zhang Yang could only hum and nod.
Unexpectedly, the window above me suddenly opened, and Qiao Zhengguo stuck his head out and yelled angrily: "You want to say that I'm old and confused, right?"
"I didn't mean that. What, I'm suddenly hungry..." Qiao Yunfeng glanced at Zhang Yang, and the two of them immediately ran away with their heads in arms.
After dinner, Zhang Yang and Qiao Yunfeng chatted alone for a long time. Basically, they talked about the complex relationships between the intertwined wealthy families in the capital. For example, the current leader of the Dragonborn, Mrs. Ziyun, was married to the younger brother of Su Jie, the head of the Su family.
Su Yi died young, but gave birth to three princesses, all of whom inherited the super wisdom of the Liuying royal family.
The eldest princess Liuying Zining could have inherited the future throne, but her husband, Wang Teng, the royal eldest grandson, died in an accidental car accident. She had no heirs, and without heirs, especially without a daughter, she was destined to be unable to inherit.
Big seat.
The second princess, Liuying Zishuang, is the most promising now, but she has never been married and has no lover; the third princess, Liuying Zixi, is more mysterious and low-key, but it is said that the lady intends to betroth her to Gu's eldest grandson Gu
Sir.
So now the three princesses each have their own merits and hopes, but none of them seem to have hope.
And it is this kind of situation that often makes it difficult for the people below to deal with it. If any princess suddenly wants to be famous, the Qiao family will inevitably have to take advantage of it.
Zhang Yang vaguely understood that it was probably one of the three princesses who wanted to deal with the Qiao family. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
