There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. There are only one or two top aristocratic families in Xuzhou. If there is one more, they will eat up Xuzhou's interests and resources.
There must be someone who doesn't want to.
The Mi family is like this, and the Zhuge family is naturally like this. Every force that reaches its peak has withstood countless tests of blood and fire.
The turmoil caused by the Zhuge family in Xuzhou has reached its peak in the past three years.
That is to say, a year ago, Zhuge Qilin'er was attacked and killed by dead soldiers when he went out. Four Jindan-level warriors attacked and killed him.
This kind of assassination can be said to be the highest in Xuzhou in the past hundreds of years, and four dead men with golden elixir power were sent to assassinate him at one time.
Such a gesture is really too big.
You must know that the power of Jindan level can already command an army of 100,000 if placed in the northern army.
The Zhenzhen side is in command, but now it is just the moment when the assassination comes.
The heritage of the aristocratic families in the Central Plains is indeed much stronger than that of the aristocratic families in the Northland.
However, the assassination this time shocked Xuzhou and even the aristocratic families in the southeast region. Not only did the assassination of the four dead warriors with golden elixir level power fail.
Three people died and one was captured.
Moreover, it was not the old guys from the Zhuge family who took action, but that Qilin'er. Such a record shocked many people.
Even if the four golden elixir-level dead warriors couldn't defeat them in the realm of refining gods, they might still be able to leave. However, in the end, not only did the assassination fail, but they were all carried away.
That Qilin'er is less than forty years old, but has power comparable to that of the God Refining Realm.
Such methods have indeed shocked and even frightened many aristocratic families.
Such a talent is simply terrifying to the extreme. No one knows what level of cultivation this child has achieved, but at least he has a power comparable to that of the God Refining Realm.
This has only been a long time, but once he continues to practice, he will really have a chance to reach the realm of immortality.
It can be said that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Xuzhou family is no longer able to suppress the Zhuge family.
After all, when the golden elixir level dead warriors are dispatched, it is already the last strength. If they are moving, they are in the God Refining Realm. The God Refining Realm is the backbone of each family and cannot be easily moved.
Moreover, Tianshi Dao cannot remain indifferent to the heaven-defying aptitude displayed by this son. If he continues to take action, he would be going against Tianshi Dao.
Even the Chen family in Xuzhou may not have such confidence.
Zhuge's family has become a trend. If you want to suppress him, you can only use other means and then assassinate him. Such drastic means may not be possible.
Unless the two sides directly break their faces and fight openly.
But this kind of fighting is rare. After all, the world is about to be disrupted. Anyone with lofty ideals can see that the Liu Han Dynasty has reached the end of the dynasty.
I'm afraid that troubled times will come next, heroes will fight for hegemony, and finally someone will rule the world again and establish a new dynasty.
At this time, if the aristocratic family wants to protect its own interests, or wants to go further, it will naturally not consume its own strength easily at this time.
Troubled times, how terrible.
Many nobles also experienced the last troubled times. The war between humans and gods in Great Qin destroyed countless nobles.
Today's aristocratic families are not actually powerful in Da Qin. Many aristocratic families even do not exist in Da Qin at all.
There are also some who are considered nobles and survived. Then they rose up during the competition for hegemony, found the true dragon, and suddenly became the top aristocratic family.
Liu Han has entered the end of the road, and naturally many aristocratic families have also seen opportunities, opportunities for them to take a further step.
Without troubled times, it would be too difficult for a family to be promoted in peaceful times.
After all, the resources and interests in various places have almost been divided up by the major aristocratic families. If you want to divide them up, unless your own strength suddenly increases by leaps and bounds.
For example, the Zhuge family in Xuzhou, the Zhang family in Yanmen, and the Lu family in Jiuyuan, within a short period of a hundred years, some strong members of the family were promoted to the realm of refining gods.
In this way, we can compete for some resources and benefits to the greatest extent possible.
However, this is really difficult.
It is hard for a second-rate noble family to be promoted. There are hundreds of second-rate families in Kyushu, but in the past thousand years, few of them have been born in the realm of refining gods.
I can count them with two palms.
The realm of divine refining itself, whether it is cultivating Taoism, practicing Qi or practicing martial arts, is very difficult and requires strong inheritance and resources.
Most of the second-rate nobles did not have a deep foundation. Otherwise, when Liu Han's court reached its peak, they could be promoted with the help of luck.
Almost all of today's top aristocratic families entered the dynasty when Liu Han established the new dynasty, or during the period of Emperor Wu.
At that time, Liu Han was at the top of his game, and his fortune was booming. Those aristocratic families all took advantage of this to reach the top in one fell swoop.
Very few were promoted later.
Breaking down the hierarchy is really too difficult. The shackles of one's own problems, surrounding problems, and so on. It is very difficult to break through all these in peacetime.
But it's different in troubled times.
Once in troubled times, the army becomes like a steel behemoth. Even the top families are sometimes helpless when facing these steel behemoths.
In troubled times, those aristocratic families will be exterminated if they make the wrong choice.
Most of the aristocratic families are now starting to seize the time to improve their strength, or they are keeping a low profile and shrinking their strength in order to face the troubled times.
No matter which choice it is, at least now there will no longer be aristocratic families going to war with other aristocratic families in a big way.
In this way, the reputation of the Langya Zhuge family has been raised to a higher level again. No matter how other families choose to deal with it, in the eyes of the outside world, it is the Zhuge family that has won.
And the win was very clean and beautiful.
In this way, the Zhuge family was suddenly promoted from a second-rate family to a first-rate family in just a few decades, even more powerful than the Zhang family of Yanmen.
After all, with the same strength, Zhuge's influence, especially in the imperial court, is not comparable to Zhang's.
Zhuge Clan said before that his influence could not extend far beyond Xuzhou, but at least in the thousand years before Zhuge Clan, many of his disciples had become officials.
The tallest one also served as an apprentice in the Third Company.
Even now, the Zhuge family has several prefects, but they are all not in Xuzhou.
In the past, the Zhuge clan was unable to provide much assistance to these clansmen who were serving as officials outside, but it was different now. The Zhuge clan had given birth to a power comparable to that of the God Refining Realm.
Then they will have much more confidence to serve as officials outside. Many local nobles have to think carefully if they want to serve in public and private positions.
In this way, these Zhuge disciples, when they serve as officials outside, their rights will be greatly enhanced. In this way, the influence of the Zhuge family will only become greater and greater. ()
