Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 186 Zhongzhou Fan Family
Sure enough, after the end of the court meeting, the event that the missions of the affiliated dynasties entered the contribution ceremony quickly detonated the capital and spread outward, becoming a major event.

Of course, what an official reveals should be said 97% and [-]% hidden. People at different levels see different meanings.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the subordinate dynasties came to make contributions. This was an honor for the people of the Dayu Dynasty, and it was also a recognition of the new emperor.

…………

As the largest and richest state in the Dayu Dynasty, Zhongzhou has a vast land and abundant resources. I don't know how many hermit families are hidden in Zhongzhou.

In the past few days, news of Li Yao's decree ordering missions from various dynasties to enter Beijing has spread throughout Zhongzhou.

In Zhongzhou, the hermit family who had been concerned about the situation of the Dayu Dynasty naturally also noticed the meaning of the arrival of the imperial mission.

Zhongzhou Tianlan Mansion, in a city in a certain county, on the north side of the city, there is a huge mansion that is far more luxurious and magnificent than the city lord's mansion.

In the central hall, the layout is antique and the space is spacious. The chairs and tables are arranged in an orderly manner. There are exquisite vases on the tables, and incense is lit on the side table. At this time A group of people sat upright, with serious faces.

The Fan family of Tianlan Mansion is one of several top hermit families in Zhongzhou.

"Patriarch, I do not agree with the entry of the Fan family."

On the left and right sides are the elders of the Fan family and important members of the family. They are normally discussing a major event about the fate of the Fan family.

The person who spoke was an old man with gray hair and piercing eyes, the great elder of the Fan family.

The fifth elder of the Fan family also expressed his thoughts: "It is not yet the chaotic late stage of the Dayu Dynasty. Why should our Fan family be born so early? When the situation in each state becomes clear, we can just select the last few forces to take refuge in."

"Yeah, it's still too early."

"It's really not a good time to enter now."

Many Fan parents nodded their heads. Judging from the situation in each state, the imperial court still has the upper hand, and it is too early to be born now.

Even if they entered the arena, at least they would have to wait for Danzhou Zhen Guofu and King Xuan to decide the outcome.

In the upper seat, the head of the Fan family, who proposed to let the Fan family enter the arena, looked indifferent, with white hair and beard, but he had a unique temperament, which was convincing.

His eyes surveyed the lower part of the hall. In addition to the older generation, there were also younger generation elite children in the lobby.

"You are all from my Fan family, so you can speak up if you have any ideas."

Hearing Patriarch Fan's words, all the elders looked serious and remained silent, while the younger generation was ready to move, but seeing that the elders were silent, they dared not open their mouths.

As a child of the family elite, there is no way to show off their talents and skills. If they waited until the later stage of the hegemony to be born, the prestige of their peers from other forces would have already surpassed them.

"Since the elders don't speak, let me speak."

The gentle and elegant young man in a gorgeous white robe trimmed with gold thread stood up, holding a jade fan in one hand, and a warm and flawless jade hanging around his waist. He had a rather handsome face with a faint smile, like a spring breeze.

The third son of the Fan family, Fan He.

"I think it is a good thing for the Fan family to enter the arena and join one side in advance.

The icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow!

Why did our Fan family enter the arena? It's not to make the Fan family stronger.

Really wait for the late entry, what can we get?
The fear of the lord of power, the contempt and exclusion of the alliance, gained a little reputation and a little profit.

Instead of going to the back and fighting with them, it is better to join the chosen side in advance and become a real confidant.

After the big forces that have taken refuge in win a big victory, why worry that the Fan family will not prosper! "

"If you enter the arena early, the family strength will easily lose too much, and if you are a little careless, it will be another disaster. Although you enter the arena later and don't get much, the victory lies in stability." An elder persuaded earnestly.

The Fan family had failed before, and it was only now that they regained their vitality. They are qualified to participate in the hegemony, so they are naturally cautious.

"If we want to be safe, why don't we stay quiet all the time? Why wait for the later stage to enter the arena, and let the world know that our Fan family has always been indifferent to the world. Wouldn't it be better." The eight-foot man couldn't understand the prudence of the elders of the family, so he was not polite at all.

This person has a good prestige, as soon as he opened his mouth, many young and vigorous disciples also spoke one after another:
"Since our Fan family is going to enter the arena in this troubled time, why not enter the arena in advance, and the young children of other forces are fighting and tempering on the battlefield one by one, making a name for themselves and the prestige of the family, so we will stay in the family and watch them step by step One step stronger than yourself?"

"At the later stage, we will join another faction. Can that faction arrange important positions for us?"

"The later stage is a series of decisive battles. Do we still have a stage to show our talents as newcomers?"

"In the late stage of the struggle for hegemony in troubled times, the servants and generals of the top powers have been finalized. If we join in, we will always be overwhelmed by the children of other powers!"

"At that time, don't talk about making the Fan family more prosperous, it will be good not to be suppressed."

Some young disciples had a fighting spirit in their eyes.

Now how many of the same generation's proud sons have emerged in the wars in various states. Every time I hear about their achievements, I can't wait to go to the battlefield immediately and show their strength to be famous all over the world!
Seeing the thoughts of these young disciples, the elders were a little shaken in their hearts.

The younger generation of the family, who have been cultivated by the family, are naturally first-class in talent and strength.

But if you don't go out for trials, how can you grow? Abilities and talents are all tempered in battles.

And war is the environment where people grow most easily.

As they said, in the later stage, the peers who came out to train early have become a big trend, and it will be difficult for them to catch up!

Patriarch Fan looked at the backs of this group of fighting-minded families with satisfied eyes.

Young people should look like young people struggling.

"I agree to enter in advance. Our Fan family has been dormant for so long, isn't it just for the arrival of this life." The second elder of the Fan family also said.

An elder on his side folded his arms around his chest, and said:

"Then fight it out, even if you fail, at worst, our Fan family will continue to live in seclusion."

"agree!"

As several elders nodded, the eyes of the younger generation became brighter and brighter.

As a group of people who opposed the early admission, they looked at the Great Elder.

"Don't forget, we are in Zhongzhou now, if we enter, which side are we going to choose?"

The Great Elder did not have anger in his eyes, but scanned Fan He who had just spoken, the burly Fan Peng, and a pretty woman among the two of them with scrutiny.

These three people are the most outstanding three people in the younger generation of the Fan family.

Wen Fanhe, Wu Fanpeng, Neng Wen Neng Wu Fan Xuexi.

All the elders also looked at them one after another. When they entered the arena, the Fan family must have sent some members there first, and most of them were young children.

After all, they will also be in charge of the Fan family in the future.

Since the young talents of the family want to go out and show their talents, it is natural to test them.

Patriarch Fan still did not speak, and also quietly looked at the three outstanding juniors. If nothing else happened, the future patriarch would be among the three of them.

The young disciples of the Fan family also looked at the three leaders of the younger generation.

The three people who saw everyone's eyes gathered together said in unison:

"Emperor Yao!"

"King Ming!"

"King Honor!"

As soon as the words fell, the three of them frowned and looked at each other.

Everyone also opened their eyes wide, looking at them in surprise.

Emperor Yao was narrated by Fan He, King Ming was narrated by Fan Peng, and King Yu was narrated by Fan Xuexi.

Hearing that the three of them had different answers, Patriarch Fan frowned, but asked with interest:

"Three people have three different answers, you are beyond my expectation."

"Do any of you have a different idea?" Patriarch Fan glanced at the others.

The others shook their heads silently, but looked at Fan He, Fan Wu, and Fan Xuexi, wanting to see why they chose these people.

Especially the clansmen who have objections to their choice of these three forces.

"Okay, it seems that everyone really wants to know your thoughts. The three of you have three different answers, but for the time being, we can only choose one side and talk about your thoughts. At least let me and the elders and the clansmen be convinced."

Patriarch Fan looked at the three of them expectantly. Some of them agreed with him, but as he said, which one you choose must at least convince those who disagree.

At this moment, Fan He and Fan Xuexi looked at each other with thought in their eyes.

The burly Fan Peng was the first to speak:

"The reason why I chose King Ming is very simple, because I think King Ming has great advantages and he values ​​friendship.

He is now fighting against the forces of the two states and needs the support of powerful forces.

If our Fan family takes refuge in him at this time, he will definitely be very grateful in his heart and will not treat our Fan family badly.

Once King Ming gets the help of our Fan family, defeats the two states, and then wins Lingzhou and Lianzhou, he will have the land of five states, which is a huge advantage! "

Hearing Fan Peng's answer, many people nodded, but some shook their heads.

Then he looked at Fan He and Fan Xuexi.

"Let me go first." Fan He smiled slightly at Fan Xuexi. Although he had different opinions, he had no intention of being hostile to the two.

They all know that all this is for the family, it's just a difference of opinion.

Fan He stood up and said, "I chose Yaohuang for three reasons."

"First, the most stable and powerful court is still the imperial court. With the backing of the powerful imperial court, our Fan family will face less danger when they join us.

"Secondly, we all underestimated Yaohuang's ability. First, we married the daughter of Minister of Rites as his concubine to express his attitude towards court officials. He established an expert factory to deter officials, and gave them both power and kindness. Then he married Prime Minister Lin's daughter at the right time. For the future, to further control the imperial court, invite Fang Wukui at night, subdue a group of veterans, and hold the military power."

When Fan He said this, he smiled slightly at the crowd and said:

"Yaohuang took control of the court in such a short period of time, it must have exceeded everyone's expectations."

With this sentence, even the Great Elder nodded slightly.

"Thirdly, Emperor Yao now controls the court and has sent Fang Wukui to Qingzhou, which has opened up the situation."

Hearing Fan He's words, Fan Xuexi was shocked.

Fan He didn't notice her expression, and continued:
"Besides, none of the hermit families now choose to rely on Yaohuang. As the pioneers, no matter what Yaohuang thinks of us, he will definitely use us.

Qingzhou raised troops, and Yaohuang will continue to send troops to Qingzhou and Yanzhou in the future.

This is the opportunity for our Fan family to make contributions.

Therefore, I think it is a good choice to take refuge in Yaohuang. "

"Not bad!" The Great Elder said a good thing.

Everyone also nodded in unison, it is indeed a good choice to take refuge in Yaohuang.

As the first big force to join Yaohuang, the Fan family, not to mention anything else, just relying on this reputation, even if they don't do anything later, Yaohuang will not treat them badly.

"Xuexi, what do you think?" Patriarch Fan didn't express his opinion, but continued to ask Fan Xuexi.

I saw Fan Xuexi standing upright, full of heroism, with piercing eyes and said:

"My previous thought was because King Yu was in the most stable position, and the enemies around him were only the Liangzhou Alliance. From the fact that King Yu sent troops to Qingzhou, it can be seen that Yangzhou, which is adjacent to Liangzhou, has already entered the hands of King Yu. Unexpectedly, King Yu should be the first prince to win the land of the two states. In addition, Yanzhou and Qingzhou are at war, so he can take the opportunity to win Yanzhou and expand his power.

King Ming was fighting against the alliance between Feng and Huan states, and beside him was a king of Chu who was eyeing him. Sooner or later, the two of them would have a battle.

However, King Xuan's chances of winning against Zhen Guofu are not high. Even if he can really win against Chu Junxiong, he will only win miserably. "

Patriarch Fan nodded and noticed what Fan Xuexi said at the beginning.

"Previous thoughts?"

"So you have a new idea now?"

"That's right!" Fan Xuexi glanced at Fan He.

"I think what Fan He said makes sense. I didn't take Yaohuang seriously before, because Yaohuang is surrounded by enemies, whether it is King Ming, King Yu, King Xuan, or Zhen Guofu, as well as those alliance forces, whoever is in each state Whoever wins or loses must deal with Yaohuang.

But I ignored the current situation of Yaohuang. Now Yaohuang sends troops to Qingzhou, saying that he has opened up the situation where he was imprisoned in Zhongzhou. If he wins Qingzhou, he will sit and watch the battle between Zhen Guofu and King Xuan, and wait for them to lose both sides before sending troops. , when the time comes to win the two states and defeat the two major enemies, plus we take the lead in taking refuge, other forces will continue to take refuge in it, and it will be truly unstoppable.

If we rely on King Yu, we will meet the imperial court when King Yu wins the two prefectures and attacks the forces in Yanzhou.

Yuwang alone may not be able to defeat Yaohuang, and Xuanwang is at war with Zhen Guofu.

And Yaohuang can attack and retreat or defend, and it is not impossible to send out surprise soldiers to attack Yuwang.

It is indeed a good choice to take refuge in Yaohuang. "

Fan Xuexi's eyes were shining brightly, and her words were resounding.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

It seems that taking refuge in Yaohuang is indeed a good choice for the Fan family.

As for why everyone in the Fan family chose the royal power instead of those rebel forces, the reason is very simple.

They are in Zhongzhou now, and if they want to enter early, it is impossible to choose those rebel forces.

First of all, the Fan family will relocate the whole family to other territories, otherwise Yaohuang will be the first to destroy the Fan family.

If you choose the power of the royal family, at least they are still members of the royal family. Before Yaohuang confronts King Ming or King Yu, they are still safe in Zhongzhou.
