Chapter 243 Prepare for each
That night, the capital was brightly lit and welcoming and seeing everything go as usual.
The noise was blocked under the tall and thick walls of the inner city. The original construction of the capital took into account many factors, and the final pattern was that the imperial city was located at the center, with the inner city outside and then the outer city.
Nowadays, outside the outer city, there are still dozens of miles of areas full of people, and various buildings are lined up, which is a unique wonder in the capital.
The area of the inner city was originally planned to live in a place where powerful families in the capital, but thousands of years ago, it was already crowded. Three thousand years ago, a special order had been formed here: there were only forty-nine houses in the entire inner city, and no new houses were added here, and only forty-nine households were qualified to live in the inner city.
So everyone just glanced at the inner city of the capital and understood who was the most powerful group of people in the entire Taiyan Dynasty?
If you want to enter the inner city, you must squeeze out another aristocratic family. The aristocratic families in the inner city have been reborn for nearly ten thousand years. Both in the court and among the people, they have deep roots. It is not easy for the strong people in the family to "mov out".
There has been no owner in the forty-nine houses in the inner city for more than 1,800 years.
Tonight, under the prosperity of the outer city, the inner city is still quiet, but hidden under the quiet night, it is the frequent actions of each family.
Liang Chengzhou carefully followed a servant, who was lying on the lantern with a word "lin" on it. The inner city gate had long been closed, but the night-watching cultivator saw the lantern, checked the servant's waist sign, waved his hand to open a gap in the city gate, and let the two of them walk in.
Liang Chengzhou nodded slightly to the other party, but received no response. He didn't take it seriously. With his identity, he rarely entered the inner city on weekdays, let alone called to open the inner city gate late at night.
When Liang Chengzhou thought of the old man who summoned him, he couldn't help but feel excited. This was a great opportunity. As long as the one who was willing to support him, he could easily raise his level to a few levels.
"Please wait here later." The demeanor of the great families in the capital is different. Even if they are just a servant, they are very polite.
Liang Chengzhou nodded quickly and agreed, sat down in the doorman, and immediately a servant brought a cup of hot tea. He smiled and took it and took a sip. He could taste it, which was a bit better than the famous teas he had worked hard to get to him.
He put down the teacup, but he was moved in his heart: Is this the foundation and demeanor of the royal family? The tea that the concierge entertains is of this level of waiting guests...
Because it was already late at night, he was the only one waiting in the doorman. The servant returned after a while: "Master, please come in."
Liang Chengzhou was flattered by the word "please" and quickly stood up and walked in.
After many twists and turns, I finally arrived in a small study that was not luxurious but very comfortable. An old man who looked over fifty years old last year sat on the Arhat bed leaning against Jindun, looking very casual. Seeing him in, he smiled and pointed to a stool beside the table and said, "No need to be polite, we are also our own people, let's sit."
"Mr. Xie gave him a seat." The other party was polite, but he dared not be disrespectful, because he knew the power of this person too well. Not to mention ordinary people, even the eighth-rank official of the court like him, he still had the power to kill and kill!
Contemporary Qinghou Lin Zhiyuan, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and a first-rank official in the court!
The Qinghou era inherited the Qinghou era, and it was deeply rooted in the Taiyan Dynasty. Almost every generation would have a cabinet grandson, and even three Qinghous had become the chief minister of the cabinet.
In the dynasty, the weather covered the sky with only one hand. These young marquis seemed to disappear, but anyone with discerning eyes knew that this was Lin Zhiyuan's tenet of adhering to the principle of self-protection and not conflicting with Tang Tianhe when the momentum was at its peak.
This is a manifestation of political maturity.
And Liang Chengzhou was just the head of a pavilion outside the capital city. The identity gap between the two was too big. It was just a matter of one word for Mr. Lin to destroy their entire Liang family.
"I heard that your grandfather used to work in the mansion?" Lin Zhiyuan asked casually.
Liang Chengzhou nodded: "Yes, the grandfather of the lower official was a cultivation guard in the Marquis's mansion. Then he was given the gift from the old Marquis, got some money and went out to set up his own business. But my Liang family has taught the younger generations that we are His Highness Qinghou."
Lin Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction. He only had this need to send someone to investigate and found Liang Chengzhou.
"I'm looking for you today, I want you to do something."
"Master, just give me instructions." Liang Chengzhou quickly stood up and folded his fists: "The official will never refuse!"
Lin Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's not that serious. What is your cultivation level now? The middle stage of Xuanzhao Realm?"
"Yes, I just made a breakthrough recently." Liang Chengzhou looked a little satisfied.
A soldier leader in the capital who is looking at the road is in the middle stage of Xuanzhao Realm!
"That's enough. If someone comes to Beijing tomorrow, I want you to make things difficult for a little while. Then someone will come forward to save the situation. You may suffer a little, but we are our own people and will not let you sacrifice in vain."
Liang Chengzhou thought about it and knew what was going on. He immediately bowed: "Don't worry, sir, the official understands what to do."
Lin Zhiyuan nodded: "It's very good. It's getting late, so you can go back and rest."
"Yes, the official is leaving."
...
Not far from Qinghou Mansion, in another mansion, a graceful and luxurious old woman was eating the oranges peeled by her maid while muttering: "You unscrupulous things, old lady, I can't worry at all! After relaxing for two days, you will be careless about such a big thing, alas!"
"My mother taught her lesson."
Four old men in their fifties and sixties sat in front of her. Judging from their dress and demeanor, they were all people with great power, but in front of the old woman, they could only listen to the training honestly.
"The child will arrive tomorrow, you are not prepared for anything?"
"Did you forget how our Gongsun family squeezed into the inner city a thousand eight hundred years ago? What did you rely on?"
The four old men nodded together and replied: "Bloodline."
"That's right, it seems that you are not really stupid yet."
"Yes, the kids knew they were wrong."
"It was precisely because of the ancestors awakening a 'Tai Chi Yuanhua' bloodline that our Gongsun family could truly rise, and took advantage of the several mistakes of the Guangling Mo family at that time to steal their house and move into the inner city."
"But for more than a thousand years, except for our ancestors, there are only nine tribesmen in our family who can awaken the Tai Chi Yuanhua bloodline. Over the years, we have supported it more and more hard work. Not to mention the families outside that are eyeing each other, it is very difficult for us to deal with the Guangling Mo family to make a comeback."
"And now, another stronger bloodline appears, and you didn't take it seriously and had nothing to do?!"
An old man said helplessly: "Mom, it's not that we don't want to do anything, but that kid is now the focus of competition among various families. We are powerless. Even if we want to do anything, we can't compete with those princes."
"Hmph!" the old woman snorted coldly: "Idiot, that boy is also a human being. If he is a human being, he will have feelings, and we will have a chance."
The four sons looked at each other, not quite understanding what the old mother meant.
The old woman waved her hands at her four sons impatiently: "Four idiots, go and call Qing'er over for me."
"Yes." Among the four old men, the youngest, said in secret that he had a miserable life and had to get up and go out. After a while, a woman of ten years old walked in and said frankly: "Old ancestor, are you looking for me?"
The old woman smiled when she saw her, and her attitude was much better than her four sons: "Chong'er, come, come to the old lady."
Qing'er went up well, sat down next to the old woman, and took the orange from the maid.
"Qing'er, your incompetent sister Shuanglan is still hunting outside, right?" the old woman asked.
Qing'er smiled and said, "Miss Shuanglan has a straightforward personality. You should be happy, my ancestor."
"Hmph, the old lady gives you something to call her back. You can't come back too early or too late. You can find a way to grasp the specific time. Tomorrow that kid comes to Beijing, you have to let that girl Shuanglan happen to meet him."
"Then Shuanglan compete with him for roads and refuses to give in to each other, or the carriages collided and argued, or the prey was unevenly distributed, and the old lady ignored it, but she must not let Shuanglan meet him for the first time too smoothly."
Qing'er nodded immediately: "Don't worry, ancestor, Qing'er understands."
Qing'er understood, but the old woman's four sons were stunned: "Mom, what do you mean?"
The old woman was too lazy to explain to them, and she glanced at her and said angrily: "You don't understand if you say it, get out of here, and you'll get angry when you see you."
"Yes, the children are leaving." The four old men had no choice but to retreat.
...
Some people are not so optimistic about this "Starry Sky Infinite" bloodline.
Among the forty-nine families in the inner city, except for the people from the Tang Tianhe group, among the remaining ancient families, those who are optimistic about Chen Zhining and those who are not optimistic about him account for almost half of them.
"The power of bloodline must be manifested to work."
"The powerful bloodline only represents a possibility. At most, the possibility of that kid becoming a peerless strong man is several times higher than that of an ordinary monk."
"Even if he uses his seeds, it is hard to say whether the bloodline of the next generation can be manifested. It may be like the bloodline of Emperor Ying, or like many bloodline powerhouses, it may be manifested in one generation, and then few people in the entire family can manifest again."
"It is more suitable for waiting and watching at present. That guy offended Tang Tianhe so badly. It is not cost-effective to get along with Tang Tianhe for him." (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.) 16-10-16 05:51:58
