Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 362
The eight sects of the Song Dynasty are connected with each other.

No matter what ups and downs the Song State has experienced, no matter how the situation in the Song State changes, the blood of these eight suzerains is still thicker than water.

The only regret is that Huan Mai once encountered a catastrophe and fell from the peak to the trough. Many people even thought that Huan Mai had lost its descendants.

Unexpectedly, Huan Chang suddenly held the Huanmai Jade Pendant and got the inheritance of Shujian Pavilion, which made every Patriarch's face reveal an excited expression.

In the entire Song Kingdom, only these Patriarchs know what significance the Huanmai Jade Pendant and Shujian Pavilion have to the Song Kingdom.

It is no exaggeration to say that without the Huanmai Jade Pendant and Shujian Pavilion, the State of Song would not be called the State of Song.

"After 300 years, the eight jade pendants are finally gathered together again!"

At this time, even Song Gong, who was not showing any signs of emotion or anger, showed excitement in his eyes.

"Let's go, Ah Chang will follow me to the Duke's Mansion first."

Song Gong put away his jade pendant, waved his arms and said, his face was full of excitement.

The rest of the Patriarchs also put away their jade pendants, followed Duke Song, and headed towards the mansion, each with an excited look on their faces.

In Song Gong's study room, there are many books neatly arranged, exuding the fragrance of ink.

Several people walked into the study, found a place to sit down, and all of them focused their attention on Huan Chang.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Huan Chang also felt that it was difficult to calm down in his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "I came this time because I actually want to find out my life experience."

Huan Chang clenched the jade pendant tightly, staring at Song Gong.

Although Huan Chang was able to guess many things from the reactions of the people, he still wondered why his parents left their hometown and lived in seclusion in a small mountain village in Lu State.

When the Patriarchs heard the words, they all turned their attention to Song Gong and motioned him to answer this question.

Song Gong took a deep breath, and then said with a heavy face: "Seeing the jade pendant in our hands, Ah Chang should be able to guess that he also belongs to the Song Dynasty clan."

"In fact, Yupei with the Huan surname was passed down from Duke Xiang, and the Huan surname is the orthodox lineage of the Song State and the legal successor of the Song State."

When Huan Chang heard the words, he couldn't help being stunned on the spot.

Although he had long thought that his life experience might be inextricably related to the Song Dynasty's clan, he still hadn't thought that he was the direct descendant of Song Xianggong.

Song Xianggong, that is a well-known monarch in the history of the Song Kingdom. With his extraordinary ability, he developed the weak Song Kingdom and became one of the five overlords.

At that time, although the Song State was not as good as the Jin State ruled by Jin Wengong, nor the Qi State ruled by Qi Huangong, it was still not to be underestimated, and heroes from Kyushu came to vote one after another.

It's just that Song Xianggong rose like a comet, but fell like a shooting star. The Song Kingdom also fell into decline again after a short-lived.

Huan Chang knew that the founder of Shujiange had a close relationship with Song Xianggong, so he naturally respected the most outstanding monarch in the history of Song Dynasty.

Knowing now that he is a direct descendant of Duke Xiang of Song Dynasty, Huan Chang couldn't help but feel mixed feelings in his heart.

"300 years ago, the five vassal states of Kyushu jointly attacked many sects. Duke Xiang led the army of Song State and almost swept all the sects in Song State."

"However, Duke Xiang is benevolent and righteous. He only fights with upright and upright divisions against the enemy. Even though many sects were breached, Duke Xiang still did not drive them all out."

"I never thought that later, those remnants of the sect would unite and invite masters to attack the capital of the Song Kingdom. The descendants of Duke Xiang were almost slaughtered."

"According to rumors, only one baby escaped with his life, but after Song was defeated, this baby disappeared without a trace. We all thought it was just a false rumor."

"I never thought that Duke Xiang really has a direct descendant alive, and Ah Chang must be the descendant of that baby!"

"God bless me Da Song!"

Song Gong looked at Huan Chang eagerly, his expression quite excited.

Huan Chang heard the words, but his heart was shocked.

He had heard a long time ago that the clan of the Song Dynasty was almost wiped out in that war, resulting in no one from Duke Xiang's line being able to take over the position of monarch, so the Song lineage had the opportunity to rule the Song State.

Huan Chang in the past, after hearing this incident, although he felt regretful in his heart, he was not shaken so strongly.

But now that he learned that those who were slaughtered were all his direct ancestors, Huan Chang couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"The martial arts of the ancestor of my book Jiange is unrivaled, and the army of the Song Dynasty was also very strong back then. Why was it defeated? Why did the clan be slaughtered?"

Huan Chang asked loudly, wanting to know the details.

Although Huan Chang knew some things long ago, he only knew the general process. How the Song State was defeated and how the Song State's clan was slaughtered, Huan Chang had no idea at all.

Unexpectedly, Song Gong and those Patriarchs, when they heard Huan Chang's questioning, showed a hesitant look on their faces.

"Please also tell me!"

When Huan often saw the expressions on the faces of the people, he knew that there must be something hidden here, which made everyone reluctant to mention it.

He immediately got up and bowed deeply to everyone, with a firm look in his eyes.

"Forget it, since you are a direct descendant of Duke Xiang, you are naturally qualified to know the whole story of this matter."

Song Gong hurried forward, supported Huan Chang's arms, and then told a story of the past.

300 years ago, the Song State was indeed powerful. Not only did masters like Shujiange sit in the capital, but it also had a powerful army as its foundation.

At the beginning of the outbreak of the war, the army of the Song Dynasty could be said to be invincible, killing all the major sects in the country and retreating steadily.

But as said before, Song Xianggong ruled the country with benevolence, even if he broke through those sects, he still released many people.

For this matter, there are still many generals who are dissatisfied. However, Song Xianggong insisted on one thing in the Song Dynasty. Even if these people spoke out to advise, Song Xianggong still insisted on going his own way.

After a long time, those remnants of the sect who were defeated one by one unexpectedly all gathered together to form a huge force.

The various sects have a long history, not only have many masters, but also a lot of troops.

The turning point of the Song Dynasty began at that time.

300 years ago, the Song Dynasty was full of wars and smoke, and Song Xianggong led the Song Dynasty's elite to sweep away every sect. It was the time when he was full of ambition.

At this time, someone said to Song Xianggong: "Although the major sects have been broken, there are not a few troops commanded by the remnants of those sects. Your majesty should take this opportunity to destroy them one by one to avoid future troubles."

Song Xianggong laughed loudly when he heard the words: "It's nothing to worry about. If I chase down and destroy them one by one, it will definitely be a protracted war."

"Now I will destroy his sect with great force, and then let these people leave with benevolence and righteousness. Among them, there must be those who can see the situation clearly and surrender."

"Even if there are still people who are stubborn and stubborn, after they gather together, I will fight and destroy them, and that will be the right way!"

There are not a few generals who are opposed to the words, but Song Xianggong has made up his mind, and it is not easy for everyone to continue to persuade.
