As we all know, the main branch of the fifth family is very thin, and many foreigners were introduced many years ago in order to strengthen the family. In order to retain these talents, the Fifth Family sacrificed the marriages of many women within the clan to attract talents with foreign surnames.
At that time, they were both talented and beautiful, and they lived in harmony for a long time. However, the interests of the family are easily divided, and the relationship is also very fragile. Sometimes there is just a lack of blood ties and surname inheritance.
Before the foreigners could fully integrate into the Fifth Family, they were torn apart by interests and worldly prejudices. The estrangement between the main line and the collateral line has arisen, and no amount of blood ties will be able to resolve the two sides.
Of course, in the end, for the common interests of the family, the two forces eventually survived in "harmony". Have a "harmless" fight once in a while.
But in general, the main bloodline of the fifth family has a natural advantage and has always had the upper hand, while the collateral lines can only feel helpless.
But flowers never last forever, and people never last forever. If the tug-of-war lasts long enough, there will always be a chance. After so many years, the suppressed side branch finally found an opportunity.
The Altar Rebellion caused heavy casualties to the entire fifth family. At the time of the incident, the main line of the fifth family was also standing close to the front, and the situation was particularly serious. Dozens of top masters were killed or injured. True Lord Yun Mao was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and the "Fifth Purple" was also seriously injured. This is also the moment when the main vein is at its weakest.
Although the collateral line also suffered heavy casualties, it was at least stronger than the main line. Besides, their principal was fine and conscious. At such a moment, they, who were already restless, automatically came up with other ideas.
However, they still have a sense of belonging to the fifth family, so they don't make a big fuss about it, but there are also open and covert fights.
It's just that the orthodox battle is inevitable. Due to the serious injury to the main line, the collateral blood relatives finally took action forcefully.
The past heir, Fifth Purple, was born to be a master, with outstanding talents, a good reputation, and a great reputation. He was also the eldest son and grandson, so naturally no one could compete with him. Even if there was one, it would not be able to defeat such an heir with an absolute advantage.
But this was when nothing happened, the main line was strong, and the side lines did not dare to compete with them.
But now the situation is different. The elites of the main line have suffered heavy casualties, and the heirs have lost their prestige because of the unreasonable disaster. Their chance has come.
While the person in charge, Zhenjun Yunmao, was in a coma, some elders from the collateral clan entered the main house in the name of assisting in family affairs, intending to take over the family's power.
Many of the main lineage elders and monks of the fifth family were seriously injured and some had ambiguous positions, which actually allowed the group of people to temporarily succeed.
For a time, the side branch temporarily controlled the power of the fifth family, and the main line temporarily avoided its edge due to certain plans.
It can be said that that was the most dangerous moment for the main line. If you are not careful, the position of Zhengzong will change hands.
As one of the most legitimate direct descendants at present, the fifth son is supposed to be the most qualified to stand up and speak out and preside over this situation. As the fifth son, there is no way he can be the heir.
He has the title of a direct descendant. Although he is well received for his gentle temperament, this does not mean that the members of the fifth family can accept him as the heir. Whether it's talent, skill or popularity, these are all things the fifth son lacks.
If he is forced to take the position, it may accelerate the decline of the fifth family's main line.
It turns out that the elders of the main line are still waiting and watching, hoping to delay Zhenjun Yunmao from waking up. The other party has been in charge of the Fifth Family for many years and has profound cultivation. As long as he regains consciousness, he will definitely be able to solve the current chaos of the Fifth Family. But I don't know if the main line is destined to have this kind of difficulty, and things are getting worse and worse.
And after some short-sighted people in the main line defected, they could no longer wait and see. If they continue to wait and see, the fire will come to them. In the end, they can only treat the dead horse as a living doctor and promote the fifth son to the throne, but not in the name of the legitimate second son, but in the name of the legitimate eldest son, Fifth Purple. Number.
It's a good thing they didn't announce the Fifth Purple's crisis to the public earlier, otherwise it would really be irreversible.
Although it was almost impossible to survive such a catastrophe, with no one alive or dead for so many days, everyone was basically certain that he should be dead as well. But after the altar, everyone was busy rebuilding and appeasing both the inside and outside, and there was no time to announce the matter to the outside world.
In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the main line, many people in the Fifth Family did not know that the Fifth Purple was missing or even dead, which just gave them the opportunity to operate.
If the Fifth Purple has the reputation and qualifications, then just be the Fifth Purple. Everyone felt that since they were thorough, nothing would go wrong.
Another thing, if the real Fifth Purple Life can be found from somewhere, just make room for him directly and save trouble. If the other party is dead, then let's leave it as it is, and wait for the rest to calm down the internal and external chaos.
The clan elders held this idea in mind and did not pay much attention to the puppet Fifth Son. They focused on fighting with the people from the side clan and taking advantage of the chaos to gain more benefits for themselves.
But no one knows that in their eyes, the dough that is being kneaded by anyone is actually a wild wolf that is thirsty for blood and flesh, and will not stop until it sees blood!
The fifth son has shown himself to be docile since he was a child, but he is actually very ambitious and has always peeped at his elder brother's power. Given this opportunity, how could he not take advantage of it?
The elders were lax with him and indulged in fighting with the people from the sidelines. He immediately seized this opportunity, made little efforts, took over the authority, and became a worthy heir.
When those people were almost done fighting, they turned around to deal with the matter and were shocked to find that the chosen puppet had already matured and was doing well on his own, and their little calculations were shattered.
Later, the humble second son used some method to persuade these people who had their own thoughts to support him in taking the throne. A group of people quickly cooperated to quell this side chaos.
After True Lord Yunmao woke up, everything was done. Except for the position of the head of the family and the inalienable rights of some family heads, almost everything was divided up. Nowadays, True Lord Yunmao has to think carefully even if he rashly wants to move his fifth son.
True Lord Yun Mao was naturally unwilling to give in. He has an eldest son, a filial and talented eldest son, a child he raised with countless efforts. Why did he wake up as a different person? Isn't that purple something that this son can compare with? Hearing the clan elder's words, I felt that my mind, which was still muddled just after waking up, became even more confused.
After waking up again, he refused to see the fifth son. Even if his familiar relatives came to persuade him, he still stubbornly refused to see him. This is not how it is seen in the eyes of outsiders. In their eyes, the fifth son is the fifth purple. It seems that Zhenjun Yunmao is really angry at his eldest son who he once loved very much because of the altar incident.
This is big news.
People are quick to catch rumors, and rumors often spread quickly. Not long after, the so-called "Secret History of the Fifth Family" was already everywhere.
