Chapter 370: The Six Great Luo Yun Families
Zhang Juxing knelt in the Jinluan Hall and was secretly happy when he heard Taifu Ouyang Yun's boastful words.
In fact, when he saw the handwritten note, he saw the clues. You must know that Luo Yun State has an unwritten rule. Whenever the governors of various regions discover the remnants of the previous dynasty, they can report it directly to the court, and Luo Yun State will send special personnel to deal with it.
Although Luo Yunguo's control over various regions was weaker than that of other dynasties, in addition to paying tribute every year, the governors of various regions were basically the local emperors of each region. However, when it comes to dealing with the remnants of the previous dynasty, Luo Yunguo or Luo Yunzong has gone against the grain!
He showed his resoluteness and ruthlessness, which also made many ministers tremble with fear.
In the early years after the founding of the Luo Yun Kingdom, many remnants of the Yunxiao Kingdom did appear in various places, but according to this practice, they were quickly wiped out with blood.
It has been more than 20 years since the remnant of the previous dynasty last appeared, and the reappearance really made Luo Yunguo's senior officials a little stunned. Compared with the preparedness forty years ago, Luo Yunguo still does not pay attention to these clowns now.
But even so, it is not something that a county governor can handle on his own. Ji Shenfu's handbook, in the eyes of a discerning eye, means that wiping out the remnants is a lie, but wanting to get some supplies is a real thing.
His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting at the top, naturally saw the clues. Although the real controller of Luo Yun Kingdom is the Luo Yun Sect behind it, His Majesty the Emperor is more like a great steward.
That's right, he helps Luo Yunzong govern the entire Luo Yun Kingdom. As for the governors of the counties under his jurisdiction, they are just like the shopkeepers of each branch under him, the "big steward", and all they do is for the Luo Yun Sect. Just to provide convenience.
"Master Lu, please analyze it for me." The emperor asked with a smile.
Master Lu, whose name is Lu Chen, looks to be over fifty years old. He is the patriarch of the Lu family in Moshang County and one of the most powerful people in the dynasty.
If you don't count the eighty-year-old man Ouyang Yun standing opposite him, there is really no one more powerful than him in the entire Luo Yun Kingdom. The Lu family on Mo Shang is also one of the six major families in Luo Yun Kingdom, and it is also the top three among them.
The middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold unicorn robe looked very elegant. When he heard the emperor's inquiry, he first bowed his hands in a salute, and then calmly rolled up the sleeves of his court uniform.
Among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, Lu Chen was probably the only one who could roll up his sleeves so unhurriedly when the emperor was asking questions. Because he is not only a Grand Master, he also has an identity - Imperial Master.
When Ouyang Yun saw him acting like this, he curled up his lips intentionally or unintentionally. It was obvious that the relationship between the two people at the top of Luo Yun Kingdom's power was not very good.
As a Taifu, Ouyang Yun wore a black gold python robe instead of a purple gold unicorn robe, so he did not have long sleeves.
"Wei Chen believes that this matter does need to be discussed, but the governor of Luoye County also belongs to a famous family, so he will definitely not talk nonsense." Lu Chen said calmly.
When Zhang Juxing, who was kneeling in the Jinluan Hall, heard this, his heart tightened. His original intention was to use this matter to file a complaint in front of the emperor.
After all, in the past few years, various counties have reported various excuses to divide various resources, resulting in good weather and bumper harvests for several consecutive years, but the household tax revenue has still not increased much. A huge part of the reason lies in the pockets of each county.
As the minister of Qin Tianjian, he naturally could not ignore this matter.
This time Ji Shenfu applied for two thousand magic-breaking crossbows on the pretext of putting down the rebellion! You must know that there are only hundreds of thousands of these magic-breaking crossbows in the entire Luo Yun Kingdom. They are still the old ones saved over the years. The number of two thousand is not a small amount.
The emperor sitting at the top nodded silently. Apparently he also believed that Ji Shenfu would not talk casually about the remnants of the previous dynasty.
"I don't agree with what the Grand Master said!" Ouyang Yun, who was wearing a black gold python robe, said in a deep voice with drooped eyebrows.
"Oh? Please tell me, Master Taifu." Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor did not expect that the two big men of the court would fight directly in the court hall. Some people were not too embarrassed to watch the excitement, so he leaned forward and asked. .
"I heard that the Yinren Town that suddenly appeared in Luoye County did not appear out of thin air. Before that, this Yinren Town had always been in Luoye County, and it was also a six-party force in Luoye County. Its original name was Yinren Village."
"Yinren Village? This name is quite strange!" The emperor muttered with a smile.
"At the beginning of this year, Yinren Village annexed the neighboring Tiexin Village and became Yinren Town!" the old man said slowly.
Grand Master Lu Chen asked with a smile: "Master Ouyang, even so, Lu doesn't think there is anything wrong with what he said."
Ouyang Yun unconsciously picked up his hands and stuffed them into the two sleeves like an old farmer.
"There is nothing wrong, but the original leader of the annexed Tiexin Village was named Helian Tiexin. It is a coincidence that the Helian family that was destroyed was the in-laws of the Grand Master!"
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials in the court began to whisper.
"Master Ouyang, Lu didn't understand what you meant!" The elegant middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly.
Ouyang Yun stood up from the first position on the right, took two steps forward, turned to face the emperor and said:
"I have no other intentions, and I don't think that Grand Master will deceive Your Majesty at all. After all, Master Lu belongs to a famous family in our Luo Yun Kingdom, and we have countless distant relatives, so naturally we can't take care of him!"
As the old man finished saying this, the emperor sitting at the top burst into laughter. The ministers standing in the palace could only laugh a few times with the emperor when they saw this.
Do you want to say that some of the ministers present did not laugh? Will anyone give the emperor face?
In fact, there were actually two of them present!
One of them is, of course, Taishi Lu Chen. He never expected that Ouyang Yun would investigate the matter so clearly. If Qin Tianjian was not under the control of the Zhang family, he might have thought that Qin Tianjian had joined the Ouyang family's camp.
And the other person who could not give the emperor face or laugh was the instigator of this incident - Zhang Juxing, the Minister of Qin Tianjian. The reason why he didn't smile was not because his power was as powerful as Lu Chen's, but because he was still in confusion at the moment.
He wanted to take the opportunity to participate in a book, but he sadly discovered that it turned out to be the trigger for the two big bosses. And unfortunately, judging from the current situation, he also brought the fire to the Lu family.
The six major families in Luoye County are: Moshang Lu family, Moshang Zhang family, Yunxi Ouyang family, Yunxi Tan family, Luo Yungeng family, and Luo Yunji family.
Among them, the Lu family, the Zhang family, and the Ouyang family are known as the "upper three" of the six aristocratic families.
The Tan family, the Geng family, and the Ji family are known as the "lower three" of the six aristocratic families.
The upper and lower families here are a simple division of the six major families. In terms of overall strength, the upper three families are stronger than the lower three families.
Among them, the Lu family is known as the first Luo Yun family and is also a famous martial arts family in the world today! Among them, Taishi Lu Chen is the leader, and all the children in the family are good in civil and military affairs! General Lu Yezhen, for example, was one of the most famous figures in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty. And there are even more people who can’t be counted! For example, Mrs. Lu, who was married to Helian Tiexin, was also considered a distant branch of the Lu family.
The Zhang family is one of the three families in Luo Yun. The main reason is their family's influence on the entire Luo Yun officialdom. Among them, Zhang Yangchen, the Minister of Qintianjian, is currently the pillar of the Zhang family. Most of the children in the family were officials in the court, such as Zhang Juxing, who was the Minister of Qin Tianjian. Of course, there was a minister between him and the minister. There are also many who serve in various counties and become the staff and think tanks of the county governors, such as Zhang Heng who followed Ji Shenfu.
It is understandable that the Ouyang family became one of the three Luo Yunshang families because of their head Ouyang Yun. The number one person in Luo Yun’s military world! He is the only minister in the dynasty who is not a relative of the emperor, but wears a black gold python robe. This is the most intuitive manifestation of his illustrious achievements! It's a pity that the Ouyang family has no successor in the court. In other words, the Ouyang family's status as a martial arts family is higher!
As the head of the three lower families, the Tan family is as powerful as the Ouyang family. The head of the family is the current Taibao, Tanshui Qing! This person is extremely powerful, but also extremely smart. His background is not like that of the Lu family and the Zhang family. He was the front door of an aristocratic family in the previous dynasty. Tanshui Qing was born as a soldier. To elaborate, he has a deep connection with the Ouyang family.
Geng family, speaking of which, this family is not a martial arts family, but simply formed a new family power after the establishment of Luo Yun Kingdom. However, the path Geng chose was to follow the dragon, even at the cost of purifying himself and entering the palace. He is not only the chief eunuch in charge of the dynasty, but also the Luo Yunzong's spy on all civil and military officials. However, Luo Yunzong has always paid little attention to political affairs, so the eunuch influence of this eunuch is somewhat inferior to that of the above three families.
The Ji family, much like the Geng family, was also a rising big family, but they didn't want the Geng family to be so ruthless and not spare their children, not even their heirs. They chose another path, that is, to become relatives! Whether it is the concubine of the elder of Luo Yunzong or the beloved concubine of the emperor of Luo Yun Kingdom, the Ji family is everywhere. But after all, it takes the wife route, and its influence is somewhat worse than the previous three.
The six major families of Luo Yun Kingdom, whether they are civil or military officials or famous masters in the world, these six major families are well-deserved! There is a unique limerick that is sung by the people of Luoyun, so I record it this way:
There are reeds and Zhang on the road, and the Duke and the Marquis hide them inside the door.
There is a pond in Yunxi, and the eagle and dog are in Ouyang.
The Geng family has no sons, but the Ji family has a busy daughter.
The aristocratic family is divided into upper and lower parts, rivers and lakes and courts.
…
At this time, Geng Zhuoyu, the palm eunuch on the side, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is a message from the sect."
The emperor smiled and nodded, indicating to the distinguished palm print eunuch to explain clearly.
"There is a message from the sect that all matters involving the remnants of the previous dynasty must be investigated clearly and eliminated if any are found!" Geng Zhuoyu lowered his voice, but everyone present heard his words.
The emperor smiled and nodded: "In that case, who is willing to go to Luoye County to find out what's going on?"
After saying that, a big man wearing a black python robe stepped in and clasped his fists: "I am willing to go!"
The person who spoke was none other than the current hussar general Ashino Yezhen. Lu Chen was so exhausted just now that he naturally wanted the people from the You Lu family to regain his position.
As soon as these words came out, the important officials in the court all looked at the leader, the Grand Tutor. It was obviously to see how Mr. Ouyang Yun planned to deal with it.
But this eighty-year-old man looked like an old god was present, while the Taibao Lord standing opposite, Tan Shui Qing, bowed and said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, I have a good candidate to recommend!" Tan Shuiqing was wearing a white tiger costume, looking extremely majestic, and there was a sharp sword hanging on his waist!
As the Taibao among the three princes, his primary responsibility is the internal affairs of the palace and intelligence security issues. It is a pity that due to the existence of Luo Yunzong, this position of the eunuch with great power has become an embarrassing position with no one to rely on.
"Sui Qing, please speak!"
"This person is from the Helian family in Yunxi, and his single name is Hai Xin!"
