Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

The door was pushed open, and Song Qian walked in with her hands behind her back and a cold expression. After the other Xuanyi Guards behind her left, a gossipy look immediately appeared on her face.

"Brother, I've figured out Xiaoliu's situation. Do you want to hear it?"

Song Xuan waved his hand, "I won't listen! It's nothing more than a lickspittle meeting a high-ranking green tea girl and being used as a fish. What's so good about it?"

Victoria Song's face fell, "Brother, you are so boring!"

Song Qian moved a stool and sat in front of him. At this moment, the gossip spirit in her heart was burning. I don’t care whether you want to listen or not, but I will definitely tell you.

What a joke, I, the girl of destiny, the Grandmaster Song Qian, want to tell gossip, who dares not listen?

Even if you are my brother, you have to listen to me!

"That girl's name is Sun Qiaoqiao. Her father was originally the governor of Qingshan County in Qinzhou. He was transferred to Ping'an County in the imperial capital a few years ago.

It's a lateral transfer, so the rank hasn't changed, but after all, it's a promotion from a rural location to the imperial capital."

Song Xuan said he didn't want to listen, but he wrote the word "read" on the letter and said, "Then what? How did they meet?"

Victoria Song chuckled and said, "You don't know Xiaoliu's personality yet, he's very lazy. That day, after patrolling the streets, he sat down against the wall at the corner and took a nap.

It just so happened that Sun Qiaoqiao was shopping in the capital that day and saw this scene."

“Then, here comes the point.”

"It was early spring, and the weather was still quite cold. When Sun Qiaoqiao saw this, she took off her cloak and covered Xiaoliu with it."

"Xiao Liu was stunned at the time. He was just slacking off, and everyone in the capital knew about it, but he ended up running into this kind of thing."

"Sun Qiaoqiao had just arrived in the capital and didn't recognize Xiao Liu. She thought he was just an ordinary patrolling guard. She even comforted him, saying that although the job was tiring, he should take care of himself and be careful not to catch a cold.

That’s where the two of them got to know each other!”

Victoria Song smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, his family introduced him to many beautiful girls in the capital, but he didn't like any of them. He thought they were all too snobbish.

Finally, I met this kind-hearted person who treated me as a foreign girl who was just a small detective of the Xuanyi Guard. Xiaoliu was immediately attracted to her.

Song Xuan curled his lips speechlessly, "Well, the story of the domineering CEO falling in love with Cinderella, I didn't expect it to happen next to me.

Logically speaking, Xiaoliu, although he seems lazy on weekdays, has a sharp eye and doesn't look like someone who has been dumped."

Victoria Song said with emotion: "A wise man does not fall in love. Xiaoliu is usually very smart, but like his two sisters, he is also a love-brained person in his bones.

It would be fine if you don’t fall in love, but if you do, your IQ will drop to the bottom.

He thought he had met true love, but it turned out that she was just using him as a backup. After gaining a foothold in the imperial capital, he hooked up with the son of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Today, Sun Qiaoqiao was out for a walk with the Minister, but was stopped by Xiaoliu, which led to the scene outside the city today."

Speaking of this, Song Qian also showed a puzzled look on her face, "I just don't understand.

Although I usually like to mock Xiaoliu, to be honest, in terms of conditions, he is one of the best in the Great Zhou.

In terms of appearance, his two sisters are both as beautiful as fairies, so naturally he, as their younger brother, is no worse.

In terms of family background, it is a deeply rooted Xuanyiwei family. Although it is usually very low-key, it is not someone that some wealthy and powerful families can challenge.

In terms of cultivation, although this person is usually not very good, he is also an innate master who condensed the flower of qi when he was in his twenties, and he will definitely become a grandmaster before he is forty years old.

He has good looks, good cultivation, and a top-notch family background.

Such a person actually acts as a bootlicker, and the key is that he hasn't gotten what he wants yet!

The most incredible thing is that with Xiaoliu’s conditions, even if Sun Qiaoqiao wanted to raise fish, Xiaoliu would have to be the biggest one, right?

But in the end, he was kicked out and chose the son of the Minister of Personnel. No matter how you listen to it, it feels very strange! "

Chapter 494 Brother-in-law, I want to be in power!

“Actually, there’s nothing difficult to understand!”

Song Xuan was not too surprised.

"You have to understand that although the Xuanyi Guards are powerful, their main targets are the underworld forces and those local wealthy families. Ordinary minor officials are mostly supervised and evaluated by departments such as the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, and the Supreme Court Censorate.

Coupled with a series of measures taken by the old emperor in the past twenty years, the deterrent power of the Xuanyi Guard on local officials has been greatly weakened. For ordinary local officials, the Ministry of Personnel, which directly controls their official hats, is the person they need to curry favor with the most.

Also, you know the advantages of Xiaoliu that you mentioned, but that doesn’t mean others know them too.

Some things are simply inaccessible unless you reach that level. Given the class Sun Qiaoqiao belongs to, she has no idea what the Xuanyiwei family is.

How could the daughter of a county magistrate who had just been transferred from the local area to the imperial capital possibly understand the true power distribution in the imperial capital?

In her eyes, Xiaoliu was just a third-class Xuanyi Guard with no future, who spent his days idling around. He had some power, but not much.

For her, Xiaoliu is a good choice. If she encounters some troubles, big or small, she can use Xiaoliu's identity as a Xuanyiwei to solve them.

But in the long run, a third-class Xuanyi Guard who just slacks off all day has no potential and is far less promising than the son of the Minister of Personnel."

Song Qian suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Now that you put it that way, I can understand Sun Qiaoqiao's logic.

From Sun Qiaoqiao's perspective, if Xiaoliu really had some background, how could he still be in the Third-Class Xuanyi Guard in his twenties?

Song Xuan hummed, "Those who are not qualified to know Xiaoliu's identity and background naturally don't know it, and those who are qualified to know it would never tell Sun Qiaoqiao, the daughter of a county magistrate."

After reviewing the last memorial, a look of displeasure appeared on Song Xuan's face.

"Sun Qiaoqiao dared to keep Xiaoliu as a backup because she had limited vision and was ignorant and fearless. But the son of the Minister of Personnel couldn't possibly be unaware of Xiaoliu's background.

It is easy to understand why people make wrong choices out of ignorance.

But knowing clearly that you can't afford to offend them, yet still daring to do so, is clearly a provocation!"

Song Xuan clapped his hands towards the door, and soon, a Xuanyiwei commander came quickly and saluted respectfully.

"grown ups!"

"Send me all the information about the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"

"Yes!"

The commander turned and left. Half an incense stick later, two captains of the Xuanyi Guards walked in quickly with a stack of volumes in their arms.

To put it bluntly, for an important court official like the Minister of Personnel, his ancestors for eighteen generations are all recorded in the investigation records of the Xuanyiwei. It can be clearly recorded how often the main members of his family have sex and how long each time.

The Xuanyi Guards have already recorded everything your family members have done and what laws they have violated.

To put it bluntly, when I don't want to deal with you, you can be safe and sound, and it's good for you, me, and everyone.

But when they want to deal with you, they can find any crime for you, from stealing and apologizing to treason that would wipe out three generations of your clan!

In life, who hasn’t made mistakes?

Not to mention sitting in the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the power is so great that a single decision can affect the life and death of countless people in the Great Zhou. If you want to find fault, there are too many.

Even if the other party is an honest official, who can guarantee that the people in his family will behave themselves and not do evil?

Is there such a situation?

Of course there are, but very few.

At least, after flipping through a few volumes, Song Xuan was certain that this Minister Zhang had nothing to do with being honest and upright.

As the second-in-command of the Ministry of Personnel, he was in charge of the official hats of thousands of officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if he made a little money, it would make big families like the Yuwen family in Tangzhou dumbfounded.

Compared with the powerful families in the imperial capital, the local wealthy families are not even a little bit inferior.

The Zhang family in the imperial capital is a truly wealthy family in the bureaucratic system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was established for three hundred years, and the Zhang family prospered. In every generation, there would be several young talents in the family, some of whom would pass the imperial examinations and become civil servants in the court, while others would join the army and become captains and generals.

Generation after generation, the Zhang family has become a behemoth in the civil and military systems. Although it cannot be compared with the Xuanyiwei system, it is definitely a super family that ordinary officials need to look up to.

The reason why the Zhang family can prosper for a long time is simply because there is a great master in the family!

He was not a Xuanyi Guard, nor was he a royal servant. He was simply a martial arts genius from the third generation of the Zhang family. After seventy years of practice, he attained enlightenment and entered the realm of a grandmaster.

With such an ancestor around, the Zhang family can basically rest easy as long as they don't openly rebel.

Song Qian glanced at the introduction of the Zhang family and sneered, "No wonder they have the confidence to compete with Xiaoliu for women!"

Putting aside the Xuanyiwei families and the royal offerings, there are a total of five powerful families like the Zhang family who hold power in the imperial capital and, after several generations, accidentally cultivated a great master from their ancestral tombs.

The grand masters of two of the two went to Tianyuan, and there were still three left in the imperial capital who had not left yet.

Song Xuan looked at the volume in his hand with a smile on his face.

It's really like someone handing you a pillow when you're sleepy. The war in Tianyuan is tense, but the grandmaster of your Zhang family is still staying in the imperial capital enjoying himself. Is this reasonable?

Song Xuan closed the letter in his hand.

This is unreasonable!

Should he continue to stay in the imperial capital to enjoy himself and watch the Zhang family's descendants go to the imperial prison, or should he go to Tianyuan to earn a future for the safety of his descendants? There are two paths. It depends on what choice the ancestor of the Zhang family will make.

dong dong dong~

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

With a creak, the door was pushed open. Deputy Commander Ji Xuan stood at the door with some restraint and whispered, "Sir, a third-class Xuanyi Guard named Lu Xiaoliu wants to see you!"

The third-class Xuanyi Guards were naturally not qualified to enter the Commander's Office, but Ji Xuan knew very well who Lu Xiaoliu was. How could he dare to stop his brother-in-law from seeing his brother-in-law?

Song Xuan nodded and said, "Let him in!"

Soon, Lu Xiaoliu was brought to the door by Ji Xuan. Xiaoliu looked around curiously at first, and then muttered something in disappointment.

"The highest organization in charge of the entire Xuanyiwei looks very ordinary, not as grand as I imagined!"

Song Xuan said: "The source of power is people, not just a place.

Wherever I am, that is the Commander's Office! Even if it is just three thatched huts, this place will be the most feared place in the world!"

Lu Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment. "If I had half the domineering power of you, my brother-in-law, Qiaoqiao wouldn't have chosen someone else after weighing the pros and cons!"

"What a coincidence!" Victoria Song jokingly said, "Xiao Liuzi, tell me quickly, how does it feel to be a lickspittle?"

"I don't feel well."

Lu Xiaoliu shook his head bitterly, his eyes suddenly turned red. He gritted his teeth and looked up at Song Xuan.

"Brother-in-law, I want to take power!

The kind who holds a high position and has the power to decide life and death at will!"

Chapter 495 It’s a rare opportunity for you, the Dragon King, to twist your mouth. If you’re going to do it, do it to the death!

"Want to take power? Stimulated by your true love?"

Song Xuan looked at Xiao Liuzi, who was expectant yet stubborn, with reluctance and desire for power in his eyes, and smiled with relief.

There is one less salted fish in this world.

I, your brother Xuan, cannot be a lazy fish, and you, your brother-in-law, can’t even think of lying down!

Get up, everyone, and get to work!

Speaking of which, except for Xiaoliu, all the friends who grew up with him and lived a lazy life together have been promoted to second-class Xuanyi Guards in recent years.

For example, Shouhou and Daniu, their families didn't urge them to get married before they got married, so they just lived the way they wanted in the capital.

Most of the Xuanyiwei families have few descendants, with only one or two male offspring in a generation. They just need to do the task of carrying on the family line.

As long as the family business can be passed down from generation to generation, with the Xuanyiwei family's background, there will always be a chance that a martial arts genius will emerge in a certain generation, making the entire family great again.

For example, Song Xuan’s Song family.

There are two geniuses in one family, and I wonder how many people are envious of them.

According to Song Xuan, ever since Shouhou and Da Niu had children, their family members started to control them more strictly. The two guys who wanted to get by were urged to be promoted to second-class Xuanyi Guards.

Among the few people, only Lu Xiaoliu, the tough guy, was left. Before today, he still maintained the good tradition of slacking off and doing nothing.

The name Xiaoliu has nothing to do with generation. It was simply because the Lu family thought that boys from the lower class would be easier to raise. It just so happened that the day he was born was the sixth day of the first lunar month, so they named him Xiaoliu.

The Lu family didn't have any high expectations for Xiaoliu. They just hoped that he would get married and have a baby as soon as possible to pass on the Lu family's genius bloodline.

I don't ask you to achieve great things in your career. If you like to lie down, then lie down. But sleeping with more women and having more children is not a problem, right?

But even this, Lu Xiaoliu couldn't do it.

He went to brothels to listen to music more frequently than anyone else, but when it came to getting married, he was more picky than anyone else.
