From the world of martial arts

Chapter 180
Of course, only a few patriarchs of aristocratic families knew about such news, and they tacitly knew it.Outsiders may not know.

As for the Liu family, does anyone know?

Someone must know, but in the current Shenhan Dynasty, the reigning emperor probably has more than enough heart but not enough power.

Even though Emperor Ling was able to quell the chaos caused by his foreign relative, General Dong, it was a pity that he himself was also seriously injured. He has been recuperating in the deep palace for these years, and his control over the outside world has been much weaker.

It also made some people see an opportunity.

No one wants to overthrow the Shenhan Dynasty, but just wants to expand the power of their own family.

As the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Kui also wanted to make the Yuan family stronger, and the world was in chaos, and the Yuan family could also be strengthened a little bit.

As for the weakness of the Liu family, he didn't care. Their aristocratic family and the Liu family were not very harmonious, and there were even confrontations all the time.

It's just that the outside world doesn't know much.

Not enough for outsiders.

Taipingdao, in just a few decades, has been able to develop to this level, and many people have made contributions.

At this moment, Yuan Kai looked at the three nephews. He used this test to hope that the Yuan family could produce a real unicorn in the future when the world is in chaos.

Yuan Shao and the others naturally didn't know what was going on in their uncle's mind.

But at this moment, when they heard their uncle's question, the three of them also knew that it was their uncle who was testing the three of them, so they couldn't help being a little excited.

Especially Yuan Shao, as the boss of the Yuan family, unfortunately he is a concubine, and in terms of the status of the Yuan family, he is not as good as Yuan Shu.

There is still some gap between the descendant and the concubine in the big family. The direct descendants get more resources than the concubines.

Most of the future Patriarchs will be assumed by direct disciples.

Of course, it's not that there are no disciples from concubines who take up the position of Patriarch. As long as you are capable enough, the elders of the family will not watch.

There is no clear distinction between the concubine and the concubines.

After all, it is the era of super martial arts, and the big families are not stupid people. If there are no useful people in the direct line, they will not forcefully promote them.

The consequences of this are very serious, and it may also cause internal strife.

There are many such examples, and there are quite a few gentry, just because the direct descendants are afraid of the talents of their disciples, they continue to suppress them, even to the point of assassination.

As a result, the concubine not only didn't die, but became more and more powerful, and finally became a strong man. Then the tragedy happened to the direct line, and even caused the tragedy of the family.

This kind of internal strife ultimately consumes the power of the family.

So far, many aristocratic families have taken it as a warning.

The Yuan family is naturally like this.

But if they are equally good, then the direct descendant will have a great advantage over the concubines, which cannot be avoided anyway.

Yuan Shao also knew that it was difficult to compete with Yuan Shu based on his status alone. As far as he knew, most of the elders in his hometown supported Yuan Shu more.

As long as Yuan Shu is not a sloppy and decadent prodigal son, it is very likely that he will be the head of the Yuan family at that time.

Yuan Shao naturally also has ambitions. If he wants to become the head of the Yuan family, the best way is to get the approval of the current head of the family. If Uncle Yuan Kui approves him, then his hopes of competing for the position of the head of the Yuan family in the future will be greatly increased.

Therefore, he must perform well tonight.

But although he was a little excited, Yuan Shao didn't speak, but endured it, and glanced at Yuan Shu next to him.

Sure enough, the latter couldn't help it anymore, and immediately said: "Uncle, I have met quite a few Taiping Taoist priests along the way, and they are preaching, but most of them are in the countryside outside the city."

"Taipingdao believers are almost all mud legs"

"Zhang Jiao and his Taoist masters are using talisman water to cure diseases and save these mud legs, and they are collecting the hearts of those mud legs. This Jiao is a bit ambitious."

Yuan Shu is not a fool. After all, he has experienced a strict family education since he was a child. Even if he does not become a talent, he will not become a waste.

What's more, Yuan Shu was able to cultivate the soul path to the soul refining state, so naturally he would not be a waste, it's just that he came from a noble background, developed arrogance, and looked down on others' character.

"But if you want to rely on those muddy legs, you want to get things done?"

After speaking, Yuan Shu sneered, with a trace of disdain.

As a direct disciple of a top aristocratic family, Yuan Shu naturally has the ability to look down on those muddy legs.

For Yuan Shu's arrogance, Yuan Wei naturally knew about it a long time ago, so he didn't say anything. This kind of arrogance is shared by many descendants of aristocratic families, let alone Yuan Shu, who is a top aristocratic family.

Back then, he didn't have such arrogance.

Dragons do not keep company with snakes!

Yuan Shu could see that Zhang Jiao was ambitious and planned to use those poor people to make troubles, which showed that he had at least some foresight.

So he looked at Yuan Shao, and in his heart, he valued Yuan Shao more. After all, the reputation Yuan Shao had created outside these years was really not small.

He wanted to see Yuan Shao's understanding.

"At first, what do you think?"

Hearing Yuan Kai's words, Yuan Shao's heart sank, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said slowly: "Uncle, in these years, my nephew has met many Taoist masters of the Taiping Dao, and even met a few A soul-refining Taoist"

"The strength of Taipingdao should not be underestimated. As Brother Shu said, Zhang Jiao and his group of disciples have been using talisman water to cure diseases and save people in various places in Shenhan these years. There are probably tens of thousands of believers."

"This person has a high prestige among the people. From my nephew's point of view, this person has great ambitions, and even intends to accomplish great things. Once there is an incident in the Taipingdao, it is likely to sweep the entire Shenhan."

"Because his believers are all over the Shenhan states, plus there are many soul-refining masters in his Taiping Dao, as well as some martial artists who refine gangs. a big wave"

Yuan Shao just said to make waves, the meaning is also very obvious, he is not optimistic about Zhang Jiao.

No matter how many followers Zhang Jiao had, the rebel army was a rebel army, and they were no match for the Shenhan Dynasty, let alone the aristocratic families. They would never allow Zhang Jiao to change the world.

"What my nephew thinks, if Zhang Jiao really breaks out, and the military equipment in many places is corrupted, some places of Shenhan may fall, and then the imperial army will be needed to suppress it. At that time, our Yuan family can take the opportunity to get a share of the pie."

When Yuan Shao said this, Yuan Kai smiled with satisfaction. Obviously he was very satisfied with Yuan Shao's vision, and even the last thought was in the interests of their Yuan family.

"Damn it!"

Yuan Shu at the side saw Yuan Shao chatting there, and his uncle still had a satisfied expression on his face. He clenched his hands unconsciously, and couldn't help feeling jealous in his heart.

And the little transparent Yuan Yi looked at his elder brother with a bit of admiration.

Yuan Wei naturally saw the faces of the three of them, but he didn't say anything.

He didn't praise Yuan Shao, but just nodded lightly.
