While Zhang Hui himself and his descendants were making slow progress in searching for the royal treasure, the reason why such great progress occurred in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties was due to the fact that Zhang Hui's descendants at that time made great progress.
The focus of searching for royal treasures has turned to the study of the people who own these royal treasures.
Such a change in the direction of research and analysis has led to a situation where "there is a bright future but another bright spot" in a situation where there seems to be "no way out".
The descendants of Zhang Hui of this generation are still somewhat knowledgeable, and they should be smart. They have done a lot of research on Zhouyi Bagua, Qimen Dunjia and other related knowledge.
Combining his knowledge of Zhouyi Feng Shui, he researched the families that owned these royal treasures. When guarding these royal treasures, they would also arrange them in their residences to protect their own safety.
Therefore, he began to look for places with the same geography and landforms that he had researched in his mind.
This place will also be a geomantic treasure that protects their family, so it is valued by Zhang Hui's descendants of this generation.
In the end, he really found this ideal place.
This ideal place became the place where Zhang Hui’s descendants lived, and they never left again.
This is why the descendants of Zhang Hui today insist on staying in their ancestral homeland even though they know that continuing to live here will inevitably have an impact on them.
He insists on staying in his ancestral home to stir up trouble and refuses to leave because of suspicion. This is Zhang Hui's descendant, and he is the fourth suspect.
After having these four doubts, Zhang Hui's descendants can basically confirm that he was the instigator of the crisis that threatened the survival of the Yong family a hundred years ago.
After they moved to their current residence in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, after they became familiar with the environment they lived in, understood the facts of the geography and landforms, and mastered the key points of offense and defense in this terrain, they began to compare and search for similar images based on the pictures.
location.
After more than a hundred years of diligent search, Anqiu was finally discovered by Zhang Hui's descendants.
Of course, a place as similar as Anqiu is not necessarily the only place in the country. There should be some places that are basically similar to the places where they have lived for a long time.
After Zhang Hui's descendants selected a place, they would go deep into the candidate destination and investigate the situation of the local families.
After visiting, verifying and investigating the situation, the Yong clan in Anqiu came into the view of Zhang Hui's descendants.
However, because the Yong family has taken very good self-protection measures, the local people in Anqiu cannot tell much about the inside story of the Yong family.
Zhang Hui's descendants could not learn many internal secrets of the Yong family from the investigation.
Therefore, even after Zhang Hui's descendants entered Anqiu for field investigation, they still could not make a final judgment.
However, their abnormal behavior inspired the Yong family to carry out countermeasures.
Although this move weakened the strength of the "Yongwang Guard" to a certain extent and led to a century-long separation between the "Yongshi Four Davids" and the General Guard, what it gained was the strategic defense of the Yongshi clan.
Depth expansion.
Seeing that Anqiu was so tightly guarded and the formation was easy to defend but difficult to attack, Zhang Hui's descendants could only retreat and did not dare to have a direct conflict with such a powerful family.
It stands to reason that Zhang Hui's descendants are also descendants of official families, and many of their ancestors became officials, so their descendants should not be so weak.
But the reality is this. This was discovered when Yong Ming used a mysterious device to collect the genealogy of Zhang Hui's descendants.
In fact, the root of this problem still lies with Zhang Hui.
Although Zhang Hui's descendants inherited the wishes of their ancestors, they have been dedicated to finding the royal treasure.
But what does not match their persistence is that Zhang Hui's descendants have always been weak and weak.
This situation exposed Zhang Hui's selfishness. He is a person who attaches great importance to the origin of his children.
How much attention will Zhang Hui take?
The specific manifestation is that he only told the secrets involving the royal treasure to his eldest son born to his first wife, and made great efforts to cultivate and teach him.
To the rest of his heirs, he never said a word about the royal treasure until the time of his death.
Zhang Hui's actions caused his descendants to diverge immediately after his death. In the later period, the situation became even more extreme.
As a result, in Zhang Hui's subsequent genealogical records of the five generations, there are only detailed records of the eldest son and eldest grandson.
As for the heirs of concubines, in the genealogical records of the Five Dynasties, only rough records will be made of who they married and how many children they had, and their genealogy branches will not be extended.
This caused a special situation in Zhang Hui's subsequent genealogy, starting from the sixth generation, that is, there were only records of the eldest son and eldest grandson, and there were no records of heirs born from concubines.
As a genealogy that records the reproduction and development of a family, there will always be situations where it only focuses on the direct line and ignores the side branches, so don't expect the people of this family to be united.
Therefore, with the passage of time, although Zhang Hui's descendants have experienced generations of reproduction and the actual number is relatively large, only the direct line of his eldest son is left that can prove that they are Zhang Hui's descendants.
Other branches of Zhang Hui's descendants no longer respect Zhang Hui as their originator after five generations.
Since, in Zhang Hui's eyes, only his eldest son is his child, then there is no need for the descendants of his concubine to recognize him as their ancestor after five generations.
Therefore, the descendants of these branches have changed to respect the descendants of Zhang Hui's concubines as their ancestors for daily worship.
This is Zhang Hui's ruthless behavior. If he treats his own relatives like this, he will be even more ruthless and cruel to outsiders.
Under Zhang Hui's personal example, his descendants followed his advice, forcing descendants with the same bloodline to become strangers.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that after Zhang Hui's descendants discovered that the Yong family in Anqiu was the family most likely to possess the royal treasure, although they had the intention to attack and plunder, they were intimidated by the incomparable power of the Yong family.
He is ready to do something in a hurry but has no choice.
On the other hand, Yang Zhiguang's family is a different scene.
No matter which dynasty or generation they passed through, Yang Zhiguang's descendants have taken their ability to protect themselves wisely and make the most of the situation.
Yang Zhiguang himself regarded having both sides as his lifelong pursuit, and his "excellent" tradition was perfectly inherited by his descendants.
When Yang Zhiguang was investigated for corruption, he soon fell ill in prison due to fear.
