Purple Narcissus smiled slightly, walked up to Su Hun, and stretched out his jade hand: "Mr. Su, let's meet Zi Mansion, Purple Narcissus."
"Su family, Su Hun." Su Hun stretched out his hand and shook Purple Narcissus' hand like a dragonfly.
Regarding Su Hun's calmness and composure, Zi Narcissus nodded secretly.
There is still a one-year appointment with Nangong Jiu. It is estimated that at this time, no one would choose to enter the Zi Mansion at this time.
She didn't have much hope at first, but she didn't expect that Su Hun actually came. Not everyone has this kind of courage and courage.
"Master Su, please sit down."
Su Hun didn't show any pretense and sat down gracefully.
Soon, a group of maids came in carrying fruit plates, tea sets, etc.
After everyone left, Zi Narcissus looked at Su Hun with a smile and said, "I really didn't expect that Mr. Su would come."
"I'm curious, is the Zi Mansion more powerful than the royal family?" Su Hun smiled faintly and said, "The royal family doesn't even know, but you actually know that I'm here."
"Although the entire capital already knows your name, no one takes it seriously. They even sneered at your one-year appointment with Nangong Jiu, thinking that you are just trying to shake a tree and don't overestimate your capabilities." Purple Narcissus smiled.
Said: "But Zifu is different."
"What's the difference?" Su Hun raised his eyebrows.
"If you don't dare to come as requested, you may really be what others think, but you still come, which means you are not an ordinary person." Zi Narcissus smiled slightly and said: "Back then, I, Zi Mansion, was
I sent someone to Luoyang Town, so I know what you look like."
"Now that the one-year appointment is approaching, I sent people to wait at the city gate. I never thought that yesterday, I got the news."
Hearing this, Su Hun finally understood why Zi Mansion knew his whereabouts and identity as soon as he entered the city.
"I'm surprised at your arrival, and you're very brave."
After listening to Purple Narcissus' words, Su Hun smiled, held the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said nothing.
Seductive eyes turned to Su Hun, and Zi Narcissus looked at Su Hun. The latter had a gentle smile on his face, and his delicate face was less sharp and more casual and restrained.
However, it was such a seemingly harmless young man who made Purple Narcissus, who had always looked at people with vicious eyes, feel a bit incomprehensible.
"Nangong Jiu cannot be underestimated regardless of his status and strength. I didn't expect you to dare to come." Zi Shuixian smiled, but it was unclear whether her words meant admiration for Su Hun's courage or a reminder.
"Does Miss Narcissus want me to come, or does she not?" Su Hun raised his head and looked at Purple Narcissus. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "It's better to skip these probing words. Miss Narcissus, I can tell you your intention."
Already."
Hearing this, the polite smile on Purple Narcissus' face slowly faded, and she said softly: "Do you know the power structure of the royal family today?"
Purple Narcissus said such a sentence for no reason. Su Hun was stunned, but still shook his head and said: "I don't know."
"Haha, that's right. You are not from the capital, so naturally you are not familiar with the royal power structure." Purple Narcissus smiled helplessly, and then introduced: "The royal power consists of four major powers, also known as
Four Prefectures.”
"Four Houses?" Listening to this unfamiliar word, Su Hun asked in confusion: "What is that?"
"The Shi Mansion, the Murong Mansion, the Lin Mansion, and the Zi Mansion are composed of four royal families." Looking at Su Hun, who looked confused, Zi Shuixian smiled and said: "About thousands of years ago, at that time, the Great Shang Empire
There was no such power as the royal family, or in other words, there was no such empire as the Great Shang Empire at that time. But at that time, there was a strong man named Nangong. This man was amazingly talented, and his swordsmanship was unmatched by anyone. He could almost fight
Invincible in this area."
"The strong man surnamed Nangong also has four brothers, Shi, Murong, Lin, and Zi. These four are also extremely talented and powerful. The five of them had great reputations at that time, and few people were theirs.
opponent."
"Back then, in order to pursue the pinnacle of Tao, they challenged everywhere and defeated one after another who were very famous at the time. Their reputation gradually accumulated in these challenges, until finally, this area,
No one is their opponent anymore. And at that time, they were followed by a large number of followers." After a pause, Zi Narcissus continued: "Later, they formed their own force called 'Great Shang', and
Because of their fame and strength, followers flocked to them, and in just a hundred years, that force has grown to a point where no one can compete with them."
"Later, the force developed to a limit. It was so huge that a few people could no longer bear it. In desperation, they developed branches one after another. Because behind them was the support of the 'big business' force, the development of each branch was extremely difficult.
It is very fast, but there is still a huge gap between it and 'Dashang'."
"Because we worked hard together to build the world back then, the relationship between these people was very good, so they all presided over the power of 'Great Shang'. Over time, under the erosion of time, the prototype of an empire gradually took shape."
"After more than a hundred years, a real empire was born. The Great Shang Empire, the 'Great Shang' force, is still the largest force in the empire, and no force can compete with it."
Looking at Su Hun, Zishuiyun said: "As time goes by, this force gradually became the controller of the empire, which is now the royal family."
"The other four strong men who followed the Nangong surname back then also formed their own forces within the 'Great Shang' force, with the purpose of protecting the force they jointly formed, the 'Great Shang'."
"These four major forces are now Shi Mansion, Murong Mansion, Lin Mansion, and Zi Mansion." Zi Yunxue said softly.
Hearing this, Su Hun was silent for a while. He didn't expect that the Great Shang Empire had such an origin. He formed an empire with his own strength. From this, we can see how powerful and powerful the five strong men were back then.
Heavenly strength.
"So this is the origin of the Four Houses." Su Hun smiled and then asked: "But what does this have to do with me?"
Purple Narcissus sighed softly and said: "I don't know if those strong men back then had this intention, or it was a rumor that later generations were chasing power. The four houses that guarded the 'Great Shang' were gradually passed down from generation to generation.
There is a distinction between master and servant."
"Nangong is the master, and the four palaces are servants. The existence of the four palaces is to protect the 'Great Shang', that is, the Nangong family."
"After the inheritance and development from generation to generation, this idea of master and servant has gradually taken root in the four palaces. With power, greed has arisen. With the growth of power, the four palaces have also begun to compete for power, so
This has created the current situation." Purple Narcissus sighed and said with a helpless smile: "Today's four palaces no longer have the unity of the past, and there are intrigues and constant friction among them."
"The royal family holds a big chamber of commerce every ten years, and the protagonist and focus of this is the competition between the royal family and the four palaces. Every big chamber of commerce is between the younger generation of the four palaces and the royal family and other constituent forces.
The first three are all qualified to enter the royal core and hold some important positions."
"Do you know why every big chamber of commerce only gives birth to the top three?" At this point, the self-mockery on Zi Narcissus's face seemed to be more intense: "The rule of only taking the top three is actually to spur the four houses, because as long as there is
If a government fails to enter the top three for three consecutive times, then this government's qualifications as a fourth government will be banned and replaced by emerging forces."
After hearing this, Su Hun probably understood what Purple Narcissus meant. The current relationship between the four houses is probably not good.
Moreover, Zifu's current status in the royal family should not have the same influence and status as before.
Looking at Su Hun who had a hint of understanding, Zi Narcissus smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Now, you should understand what I mean!"
