Chapter 468
In a luxurious manor, there are small bridges and flowing water, mountains, rocks and strange flowers, and winding corridors. It can be described as a scene at every step. The alternative luxury of Jiangnan Manor can be described to the fullest.

A large hall with carved beams, painted buildings, cornices and bucket arches. Just looking at the fine carvings and layout, you can tell that countless labors have been spent. In the main hall, more than a dozen large gold-plated candlesticks are placed in every corner, and each candlestick is high and low. Dozens of sticks of butter wax were inserted.

The entire hall was over a thousand square meters, and even though it was night, it was illuminated as if it were day.

Eight calm, seemingly powerful old men sat there, surrounded by three beautiful young maids serving them. On the dining table, there were steamed Wuchang fish, Mianyang three steamed, Tianmian slippery fish, and Xiantao steamed three times. Yuan, Stir-fried Bacon with Mud Artemisia, Steamed Catfish with Powder, Yuji Yuanzi, Bagua Soup, Red Grilled Shark’s Fin, Bowl Fish with Shrimp and Sea Cucumber, Mandarin Fish in Tomato Sauce, Huangpi Sanhe, Family Portrait, Furong Chicken Slices, Yellow Braised Turtle, Orange Petal Fish Yuan and other delicacies from mountains and seas are all over the table.

(Writing this in the middle of the night, I'm so hungry...)
At the front of the hall, 36 beauties are dancing, 24 beautiful musicians are playing around with various musical instruments, and eight old men are not paying attention to the beauties performing, talking to each other in a low voice. Sex, in the decades of their lives, they have seen too many, even various dance repertoires, and they have never seen it. It can be said that as long as it is not on the bed, this simple dance is already lost its appeal to them.

However, this is the tradition that has been passed down in China for thousands of years. When everyone gathers together, even if they want to talk about serious matters, they must go through the cutscenes, delicacies, singing and dancing performances. .

Knowing that the singing and dancing performance was over, the head of the official family said loudly: "I think everyone has watched this kind of singing and dancing too much on weekdays."

Hearing this, the other people laughed and didn't say anything, so they heard the head of the official family say again: "I have retrained some dancers here. Speaking of which, it was passed down from Fujian. The young man surnamed Wang I don't know how to measure, and I am deeply addicted to playing together, and I have come up with a lot of novelty gadgets, everyone should take a look."

Several other Patriarchs present also said yes, while echoing that Wang Xuan was addicted to wine and sex, while preparing to look at it with a 'critical' eye.

After a while, barefooted girls with cat ears and rabbit ears, wearing colored fur only on key parts, and tails, came up one after another.

This 'run' may not be accurate, the catwoman on all fours is twisting her waist, the short-tailed rabbit is bouncing lightly, and there are beauties dressed as foxes, with horns and so on, running in different ways 'Come up.

The last one who followed was a scholar disguised as a man. This song was about a scholar who strayed into the mountains and met a group of female fairies. After being bewitched by the fairies, he lived a shameless life...

As for how confused and shameless, it also showed a complete...

This set is really novel, and it has attracted everyone's attention...

After all the procedures were completed, everyone started to talk about the business. The Patriarch of the official family waved away all the servants, and his expression became solemn, "I think everyone knows what it is that called everyone here today."

"That's right, that little guy surnamed Wang made a lot of trouble." Patriarch Wu said with a sneer.

"That's not too much, it's just that he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, he thinks he can challenge the whole world."

"It has nothing to do with me, Huguang, to dare to massacre a family from Guangdong, but as a scholar of my generation, I take all the people of the world as my duty, and absolutely cannot allow anyone to do such a rebellious thing." Thinking that the patriarch said this, his face was full of justice. Clearly, he believed in his own words,

"That's right, if we let these people mess up the world, how can we be worthy of the tens of millions of people in Chudi, and how can we have the face to meet Jiangdong's elders."

"I also invite the head of the official family to uphold justice for the common people in the world."

The head of the official family nodded slightly. Everyone is used to saying these words, even they themselves believe it, and they are very sure that they represent the people of the world, "This matter is not so easy. Compared with everyone sending people to Fujian and Guangdong this time, Did you collect the news?"

Seeing everyone nodding, the head of the official family said: "This Wang Xuan looks like he has a lot of ambition."

"That's right, Fujian brought out an army of [-], and gave those Qiuba [-] acres of land to each family. Hey, this is buying people's hearts privately."

"Besides, the 5 troops have been replaced by his own people from top to bottom. I don't know what the people in the Ministry of War do for food, but let him do this in private. These [-] people are monolithic. I can't get involved at all, but the fighting power must be much higher than that of my Daming guards."

Hearing this, Patriarch Wu sighed, "The military system of the Ming Dynasty has been gradually eroding for more than 200 years. The descendants of the Wuxun Group only know how to lie on the merits of their ancestors, and have forgotten how to fight the enemy."

"Kill the enemy? I'm afraid I won't dare to see blood. This kid surnamed Wang has recruited more than 6 people in Guangdong. If things go on like this, something big will happen sooner or later."

As soon as these words came out, the scene became quiet for a while, no one wanted to say more about the following words, but everyone understood what it meant, it was nothing more than saying that Wang Xuan would rebel sooner or later.

"Da Ming, it's been more than 250 years." Patriarch Wu recalled the old voice.

"That's right, both the Han and Han Dynasties lasted 200 years, the Tang Dynasty fell in 289, and the Song and Song Dynasties had a total of 319 years, not to mention the Yuan Dynasty."

"Yeah, since the Zhou Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has existed for a relatively long time. Now the national power is weak, the emperor ignores the government, and there are such monsters in the south..." The head of the family shook his head when he said this.

By this time, many big families have already seen the signs of subjugation. The Han Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties, the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties have never surpassed this limit. , Seeing it countless times more thoroughly than the emperor who was imprisoned in the palace.

What the emperor knows depends on what the ministers want the emperor to know, and the emperor has never heard the truth. It is all about peace and prosperity, and the people are safe. When the country is about to perish, these big families are not afraid.

It would be great if they could support the dynasty's revival, but in this situation, no big family is willing to take risks. Even if the dynasty changes, they are not afraid of anything. As long as their own strength is strong enough and they have enough influence in the local area, then as long as If you are willing to support the new dynasty, the benefits you will receive will only be greater.

Of course, the premise is that they don't want to fight for the world.

No matter who is the emperor sitting on the throne, the governance of this world still needs scholars like them, or they have enough influence in the local area.

As long as there are people who are interested in the world, even if they lose in the competition in the end, they are those who open the way for the real dragon, and they will treat them well .

The more you go to the imperial court to meditate, the more fierce the internal fighting will be, and the more blatant the fight for power will be. Are these people who can achieve the highest positions in the world all stupid pigs?

Is it because they don't know that the infighting will only consume the last bit of luck of the dynasty, and will only make the dynasty sink deeper and deeper?

No, whether it was before the imperial examination system or after the imperial examination system, anyone who can reach the highest peak in the power struggle, wherever there is a fool, is a guy who is better than a monkey with sticky hair. These old foxes understand very well, Know what you want.

In the last years of the dynasty, everyone took advantage of the last chance to benefit their own family, hoping that the family would grow stronger and have more say. Gain a higher starting point and status.

It is the continuation of the family, not the name of a loyal minister!

Even if the Ming Dynasty became "My Great Qing Dynasty", looking at the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty, except for the Jurchen in the early Qing Dynasty, there were some capable ministers, and after that, the high positions in the imperial court were not all Han Chinese.

It can only be said that these big families did not expect the Jurchens to be so barbaric and kill so much.

In their hearts, the Jurchens' Hou Jin treated them as well as their ancestors in the Jin Dynasty.

Of course, although there are mistakes, these big families still have endless descendants, and they continue to say "the scalp is itchy, the water is too cold". According to the "Reconstruction of the Tomb of the Hedong Lord", by 1810, his descendants Qian Zong Yuan still has records, so it can be seen that the way of survival of these aristocratic families is still very effective.

Even now, Nanyu Qian's mansion is still there.

"This kid surnamed Wang is definitely not good!" The head of the Wu family said in a deep voice, and everyone understood what he meant.

"But this kid's strength...Fujian's 6 elite, it is said that everyone wears iron armor, and Guangdong has recruited another [-] people. I don't think this will be his end. With such strength, head-to-head I'm afraid..."

"Well, this matter is related to all people in the world. We can't just contribute from Chu people. Fujian is next to Zhejiang. That is the base camp of Wang Xiaozi, and their Zhejiang party can't escape. Similarly, Jiangxi is the headland of the Donglin party. They Don’t even think about being alone.”

"Of course, judging from his behavior, this boy surnamed Wang has great malice towards the aristocratic family. With some trumped-up charges, he has slaughtered more than [-] big aristocratic families. Put him on top."

This remark caused everyone to nod their heads, "This person has a tyrannical temperament, and he is a character like Jie and Zhou. If this person is allowed to rise to power, all people in the world may fall into a boundless hell and perish forever."

"The owner of the official family is right. For this matter, the two lords, the labor officer Wu, need to go to the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party to discuss it. In any case, this Wang Xuan cannot be allowed to develop further."

The head of the official family nodded slightly, "Don't worry, this boy of the Wang family is unpopular, at most he is a guy who opens the way for the real dragon, and sooner or later he will never recover."

As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed.

This is actually not wrong. These big families are deeply rooted in local power. The so-called people who win the hearts of the people win the world. The people's hearts never refer to grassroots people who don't know how to write the words. Express yourself!
This popular opinion has been referred to since ancient times by these great families who control the place. Any big force with aspirations in the world, as long as it can get the support of these people in one place, then the government will be smooth, the place will be peaceful, and the people's hearts will be stable. As for Taxes and the like can be easily obtained.

If you can't get the support of these people, then nothing to say, government orders are ignored, local turmoil is frequent, people's hearts are uneasy, and taxation and so on are even more forgettable.

As long as you want to be a ruler and want the place to last long, it is impossible to maintain it by killing alone. There are always a lot of people to govern the place, especially when the troubled times have just ended and the dynasty has changed, it is too late to hold the imperial examination To solve the problem, we can only rely on these local aristocratic families to maintain stability and transition, so they have no fear.

But now, in their hearts, Wang Xuan has lost the hearts of the people!
