Chapter 284 The Twisted Xiang Family

In a few days, the first emperor's driver had arrived near Xiangdi.

"Uncle, now that Liang is avoiding misfortune in Wuzhong, only you can do the important task of accompanying him to patrol Xiangdi."

The elder of the Xiang family looked at Uncle Xiang in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Of course I can save..." Xiang Bo nodded.

"During this period of time, you should remember to advise the disciples of the clan to behave in words and deeds, and to avoid visiting and visiting guests at home. In the Jiangdong area, the Xiang family is the most hopeful. Back then, the Patriarch defeated Qin's 20 troops in one battle. Although he was powerless, he did It also made the King of Qin hate the Xiang family so far, so we can't leave any excuses for the King of Qin..." The clan elder told Uncle Xiang carefully.

Xiang Bo nodded and was silent for a moment.

Seeing that Uncle Xiang hadn't spoken, the clan elder frowned and said, "Why don't you say anything?"

After pondering for a while, Uncle Xiang finally asked the question in his heart: "Uncle, I don't understand... Chu is dead, so what's the point of what we're doing now?
The Xiang family has always rejected Qin's conquest, and the children in the family can only sit and eat, but the King of Qin does not need the Xiang family to govern the place, and can find other people to govern. Regardless of the famous families from all over the country, what they want is to restore the country, but even if the country can be restored, will the Qin Kingdom really not be destroyed again? "

The clan elder in front of him is Xiang Yan's younger brother Xiang Tong, who is also the uncle of Xiang Liang and Uncle Xiang, and is currently the most influential person in the entire Xiang family.

The Xiang family has been generals in the Chu state for generations, so they can be regarded as living with the state.

The Xiang family is very big, far from being represented by a few direct descendants.

Xiang Yan committed suicide, and after the fall of Chu State, Xiang Tong took over the burden of the Xiang family and led the entire Xiang family to reject Qin's conquest, non-violent non-cooperation, and secretly seeking to restore the country and restore the glory of the Xiang family.

But for such a large family, counting the direct descendants and side branches, there are more than a few hundred people in the whole family who can speak up?
The direct line family has a big business, and the side support can live.

After the initial bloody courage and hatred gradually faded over time, they still had to live their lives after all.

The side branch's sense of identity is not so sufficient, and life is not so easy, and it is the first to start thinking about it.

Nima Qin State wiped out the big Chu State once, and there are millions of tiger and wolf troops in the country. Restoring the country is an unattainable dream for them.

Therefore, Xiang's internal thoughts were divided into negative faction and radical faction.

The pessimists generally believe that the restoration of the country is impossible. The family has fought for the state of Chu to the last moment of their lives, and the Xiang family is worthy of the state of Chu, not to mention that a large part of Xiang Yan's defeat is due to the internal constraints of the state of Chu.

Taking advantage of the glory and significance of the Xiang family, it is the best way out to choose to fully surrender to Qin and actively surrender in time.

The radicals blamed Qin for Xiang Yan's death, thinking that the Xiang family and Qin had a hatred for destroying their family and the country, and the blood of the Chu people should be paid with the blood of the Qin people.

After Xiang Yan died, Xiang Tong was the master of the Xiang family.

Later, Xiang Liang grew up day by day, and his thinking and Xiang Tong got closer, so the power was gradually transferred to Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang is Xiang Tong's successor and a representative of the radical faction. Xiang Bo is also a direct descendant of the Xiang family, but he is a representative of the negative faction.

The mentality of Uncle Xiang and even most of the pessimists of the Xiang family is very simple. I am an aristocrat, and I have been a minister for generations.

In fact, with the aging of Xiang Tong, the demise of Chu State and the longer and longer time for Xiang Yan to commit suicide, and the more and more difficult life, the negative trend of thought can no longer be suppressed.

The so-called hatred, a generation of blood feud.

What about two generations?

What about three generations?

Even after more than a dozen generations, maybe they will become relatives-in-law.

Time will kill a lot of things, but it is a pity that the time is still too short. At least Xiang Tong, the person who personally experienced Xiang Yan's suicide after the fall of Chu State, is not dead, and his seniority is also the highest, and his words have the most weight.

His hatred for Qin is unquestionable. Hearing Uncle Xiang's words, his fiery temper immediately rushed to the top of his head, and his crutches fell heavily on Uncle Xiang.

"Chu State only has generals who died in battle, but no generals who were defeated and captured. Your father, a famous general of Chu State, even if he is defeated, as long as he is willing to surrender, he will be able to occupy a high position in Qin State in an instant, but brother You would rather kill yourself than betray the Lord, it has not been too long, have you forgotten the blood feud with Qin?" Xiang Tongqi's beard kept shaking.

"But my father didn't betray the country until his death. On the contrary, the state of Chu failed his father!" Uncle Xiang was hit by the crutches but did not escape.

"Now the entire Xiang family is having a hard time. Uncle, they are training private soldiers to forge armor. The clansmen are starving. The elder brother said that he has trained [-] disciples in Wuzhong, but what can the [-] disciples do? Chen Bing of Qin State A full million, this is not something that can be done by one generation or two generations!" Uncle Xiang shook his head.

"There are not a few people who hate Qin in the world, and the Xiang family is not the only one who has the hatred of subjugating the country, but the rumors are raging. Apart from cursing, which family has really risen up?

Uncle, I am not afraid of death. If my elder brother is causing trouble in Wuzhong now, the most I can do is scold him for being a fool, but I am still willing to follow him to die calmly. I believe that all the children of the Xiang family are like this, but how long has it been? Xiang Bo frowned and retorted.

"There will always be opportunities!" Xiang Tong shook his head.

"When is it?
Could it be that the first emperor died suddenly?
Uncle, let me ask you again, the king of Qin died suddenly, and the successor must be the son Fusu. The mother of the son Fusu is from the royal family of Chu. He has always had a high reputation in the state of Chu. Those who come to succeed us, at that time, even if we raise our troops, how many Chu Kingdoms are willing to follow us? Xiang Bo asked fatally.

Rejuvenation?Back to the fart country.

Xiang Bo thinks that the Xiang family is so stupid.

What loyalty?
Regardless of the fact that Chu is the most violent now, once Fusu succeeds to the throne, his status in Chu alone will be the greatest political correctness.

The first emperor was about to kill the Chu royal family completely. If it is true from the point of view of blood, the orthodox Chu State is in the eldest son Fusu.

Needless to say, Fusu was uncle and nephew to the deceased Lord Changping, who had a great reputation in Chu State. Fusu himself had the most prestigious reputation in the area of ​​Chu State, and was even famous all over the world.

Most of the nobles in the Chu Kingdom yelled, but in fact no one moved. They were afraid. Now Fusu's succession is the loudest. If you suddenly rebelled in Chu and caused some turmoil, wouldn't that be hitting the eldest son in the face?What if it affects the eldest son's succession?
Whether in Jiangdong or Jiangxi, including the Wuzhong area, most of them are clear in their hearts, and they are all counting on Fusu's succession to reuse their natal family.

The aristocrats in the entire Chu region are very upset. They hate the first emperor and Qin, but who doesn't want power and wealth?It's just that the aristocrats couldn't bend down, they were waiting for an opportunity to take refuge in the past.

Xiang Tong was blocked by Xiang Bo... for a while, he couldn't refute, because Fusu was indeed politically correct.

Unless the first emperor decides to establish a crown prince, and the crown prince is not Fusu, Chu will never make a fuss.

In fact, including Xiang Tong himself, after thinking about it, he also felt that most of the Xiang family recognized Fusu's succession to the throne.

Needless to say, Fusu's prestige, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising took the name of avenging Fusu, and Xiang Liang and Xiangji also played the name of the eldest son Fusu when he raised troops in Wuzhong.

At the beginning of the uprising, people all over the world heard the news, and basically all used the name of Fusu. Although the tragedy of Fusu's murder by his younger brother Hu Hai was used, it can also be seen that Fusu's reputation in the world.

It's not that the reputation is big enough, who will play your banner?
If it was Hu Hai or even the other sons of the first emperor who died, people in the world would probably clap their hands and say a good death.

"Uncle, is there a royal family with a purer blood than the eldest son?" Uncle Xiang asked a deadly question.

The direct descendants of the royal family of Chu were wiped out by the first emperor...

"The first life is over, and the second life is over. Uncle, can the Xiang family's hatred be avenged?" Uncle Xiang continued to ask.

"The enmity of Duke Xiang of the ninth generation can be revived, how about a hundred generations?" Xiang Tong said in a deep voice.

Xiang Bo was speechless...

When Xiang Tong and Xiang Liang were doing affairs, it was Uncle Xiang who was in trouble. He had to persuade his clansmen, and he had to find a way to provide money. Even when the first emperor came, he had to welcome him, and he had to cover up in front of the first emperor and pretend to be his grandson.

Twisted, really screwed!

Uncle Xiang is really not afraid of death, he just doesn't want to be twisted.

But most of the nobles in the world are struggling like the Xiang family.

With a deep sigh, Xiang Bo left on his own.

Today's dissatisfaction and venting didn't get any results, instead they got a meal, but it was okay, eldest brother Xiang Liang and nephew Xiang Yu were not here.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have silenced his uncle Xiang Tong today.

Uncle Xiang rubbed the center of his brows, pondered for a moment and finally went to restrain his tribe and continue to cover his tracks.

There is no way, it is impossible for him to report and expose his own elder brother.

Besides, it hasn't been long since the state of Chu was destroyed, and the hatred has not completely disappeared with the passage of time.

The Enmity of Nine Worlds You Kefu...

Xiang Bo thinks that this is mostly Xiang Tong's beautiful fantasy, not to mention the ninth generation, as long as the first emperor dies violently and assists Su to ascend the throne, the nobles of Chu will immediately applaud.

There are countless ambitious people in the world, but how many are truly courageous and ambitious?
It's just acting on hearing the wind, everyone has a big family and a big career, and can live under Fusu's hands, who would be free to rebel?

That is to say, the first emperor did things too well, and did not comfort the nobles from all over the place. Instead, after the destruction of the six kingdoms, he continued to gather local power. Whenever the first emperor was willing to bow his head and take the initiative to reconcile and pretend, the nobles of the six kingdoms had already patted their buttocks to meet them. up.

There is no way, what can I do, I have to wipe my good brother's ass.

(No, let me add that although matrilineal blood cannot inherit the family, it depends on who it is compared with. Fusu’s blood is the direct line of the royal family. The direct line of the Chu royal family was cleaned up by the first emperor, and those who can be pulled out are those who have not inherited politics. As for the inheritance qualifications, there is really no one who has a greater sense of identity than Fusu's blood.)
