Chapter 257 Eighth Grade Welfare, Dazhou Academy, Seventh Grade Family
At the same time.
Outside Zhenshi Division.
The second elder of the Gongsun family was also waiting outside the door. After handing the favor to the guard with a smile, he was taken to the side hall. The second elder of the Gongsun family came today to take over the official canonization of the Jade Seal of the family.
Patriarch Gongsun died.
For him to assume the position of head of the family.
More than half of the people in the clan are opposed to it.
Because it goes against the ancestral teachings.
And.
People of the Changfang lineage are not dead.
Including Gongsun Tang, Gongsun Qing, who went to Jingzhou, the three of them may have already established the foundation. In any case, the position of the head of the family should not be inherited by the second wife.
For this.
The second elder spent several months.
Only then did he suppress the opposition and forcefully ascend to the position of head of the family.
“Hu~”
Next.
As long as the court canonizes him.
Then he is the real head of the eighth-grade family.
With the Gongsun family in his hands, he will definitely rekindle the glory of his ancestors and will never go downhill again no matter what. But for now, he can only think about being promoted to a seventh-grade family.
After all.
This is a great achievement that our ancestors have been unable to accomplish despite their efforts for hundreds of years.
In the beginning.
The second elder was still a little excited.
However, as one cup of tea fell into his stomach and he drank more than half of the second cup of tea, no one informed him to go see Palace Master Xu. His face was obviously ugly.
How to say.
He is also the quasi-eighth-grade family head.
I was assigned to sit on a cold bench. I couldn't help but stand up immediately. I said to the guard at the door in a low voice: "Fellow Taoist, please help me inform the palace master that today I came here to take over the position of the head of the family."
The latter sentence was particularly emphatic.
The guard glanced around.
Think about it.
Still whispering:
"The palace master is busy canonizing the new ninth-grade family in the Fu family's fiefdom. I'm afraid that fellow Taoists will have to wait a little longer."
"What? ?”
The second elder Gongsun was stunned for a moment.
When did a ninth-grade family appear in the Fu family fief? !
If he remembers correctly.
Once there is a ninth-grade family in the Fu family fiefdom, wouldn't it be possible to be promoted to eighth-grade immediately?
The second elder Gongsun could not sit still now.
The Eighth Grade Family enjoys many privileges, including a 20% annual tax reduction. Of course, this is secondary.
The most important thing is.
At the beginning of promotion to the eighth level, you can be exposed to many opportunities.
The most coveted thing is to be able to recommend the children of the family to enter the Dazhou Academy. The last family member who successfully graduated from the Dazhou Academy has been promoted to a fifth-grade golden elixir family.
Of course this may take a long time.
But!
Once the Fu family is promoted to the eighth rank.
Then Fu Changsheng has the opportunity to break through the Zi Mansion. Although he is unwilling to admit it, judging from Fu Changsheng's current cultivation speed, I am afraid that at least he has earth spirit roots, and breaking through the Zi Mansion will not be a problem at all.
Once the opponent becomes a purple mansion overhaul.
That was the day when their Gongsun family was exterminated.
Second Elder Gongsun suddenly stood up and said:
“We must not allow the Fu family to be successfully promoted to the eighth rank!”
My mind was racing.
Gongsun Erchang’s eyes suddenly lit up.
I cast a soundproof spell on my right hand, then took out a jade talisman for communication and said a few words quickly.
The jade talisman trembled slightly.
The aura faded away.
The second elder Gongsun smiled coldly:
"There is still a lot of time between the court filing and the canonization. If the Cui family is not stupid, they will definitely know what to do after hearing the news."
Of course.
Just relying on the Cui family is not enough.
The second elder Gongsun summoned different people one after another. After everything was arranged, the uneasiness in the second elder Gongsun's heart subsided.
He sat back down firmly again.
Lift the teacup and take a sip.
The eyes narrowed slightly:
"Fu Changsheng, I want to see how you can turn the tide this time?!"
As if sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Cui family.
The summons jade talisman on the body of Chief Cui, who was originally discussing matters in the meeting hall, suddenly lit up, and a magic spell entered it. After hearing the summons from the second elder Gongsun.
Clan Leader Cui’s expression changed.
Immediately said:
"Third brother, immediately send a message to Qiu Ya from Wanningfang City and ask her to go to the Zhenshi Division to find out whether the situation is true!"
"Yes, head of the family!"
The elders in the entire meeting hall were extremely shocked by the sudden news.
The information they had before was.
The head of the Fu family and his mistress went into retreat one after another.
Also.
Everyone in the Fu family also stayed in the family honestly and did not take any action.
I never expected it.
Suddenly there was a ninth-grade family in the Fu family fiefdom.
Even if you do magic, you can't conjure a family of hundreds of thousands of people at once.
After a while.
soon.
A message came from Qiu Ya over there in Wanningfang City.
Outside Fangshi.
The parked Shangguan family treasure ship carries members of the Yu family, the second ninth-grade family in the Fu family fiefdom.
Hear this exact message.
Patriarch Cui's heart seemed to be drained away all of a sudden.
Today.
There is only one eighth-grade aristocratic family left in Huainan, and the Fu family has taken the lead. If it is their Cui family's turn, it will be a long time.
Elder Cui San looked unwilling:
“The head of the family”
"We spent a lot of money to cultivate a second-level spiritual vein for Cao Xuerui, and bought mortals from all over to fill up their numbers. We finally made the Cao family a ninth-level family in our fiefdom. Now we only need another ninth-level family to advance to the eighth level in one fell swoop. Product.”
“No matter what”
“We can’t let the Fu family steal it. First"
"Although the second elder of the Gongsun family had bad intentions in summoning him this time, if we send troops to a certain stronghold of the Fu family at this time, as long as we destroy one of their ninth-grade families, the court will not It won’t count until it’s canonized”
“We’ll have a chance”
The other elders heard this.
Like a drowning man finding a life-saving straw.
Nodding repeatedly:
"I agree with Third Brother's suggestion"
"In addition"
"We should contact the Hong family and the Qi family immediately. The three of us are on the same rope. With the combined efforts of the three families, it is not a problem to destroy a ninth-grade family in the Fu family's fiefdom!"
Everyone was chattering. Tongue.
Almost all of them want to start a war with the Fu family.
Clan Leader Cui rubbed his brows with a headache, but said nothing.
Seeing this, Elder Cui San hurriedly said:
"Master, time waits for no one. Please contact Chief Hong and Chief Qi quickly to discuss how to attack the Fu family."
Clan Cui sighed deeply.
His right hand knocked rhythmically on the Qianyang Stone Table, and the originally noisy meeting hall suddenly became quiet.
Clan Leader Cui then slowly said:
“Not long ago”
"The old patriarch of the Hong family passed away, and now the head of the Hong family has not yet been determined. Do you think the Hong family has the energy to start a war with other countries now?"
"Besides"
"Although the Qi family is the same as us, Alliance"
"But our Cui family will benefit from being promoted to the eighth rank. If you think about it from the standpoint of the Qi family, are you willing to offend the Fu family who may be promoted to the eighth rank at any time?"
After some analysis.
Everyone's originally high emotions temporarily calmed down.
It’s just that Elder Cui San was unwilling to give in after all:
“Master, are we just going to watch the last eighth-grade family place fall on the Fu family?”
He said everything so clearly.
Seeing that his clansmen still refused to give up, Chief Cui immediately looked solemn and said coldly:
"The Fu family has been able to grow from the original four cultivators to the current eighth-grade family in just over forty years. This shows that the Fu family's luck is unmatched by ordinary people. Even the eighth-grade family who is one step above him The Gongsun family was also suppressed by their Fu family's fate. "Go down"
"What do you think"
"How does our Cui family compare with the Gongsun family in its heyday?"
From Anyang County to Pingshan County, Fan and the Fu family? Neither of the opposing aristocratic families ended well.
Think about this.
Everyone suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Clan Chief Cui looked around at the crowd and said word by word:
"Everyone here will remember it."
"Everyone who meets the Fu family in the future, Give me a little more respect. The rise of the Fu family is not something we can stop.”
The Fu family is definitely not a thing in the pool!
Everyone in the Cui family has always looked up to the head of the family, and when they heard the words, they all loudly agreed.
Clan Chief Cui was worried and wanted to give some instructions. The next moment, the jade summons talisman on his waist lit up again. Patriarch Cui lowered his head and saw that it was a summons from the eighth-grade Shi family.
The Shi family rarely gives orders to its subordinate families.
Clan Chief Cui was shocked when he saw the jade talisman for summons. He didn’t know what was going on. He quickly entered a spell, and then the voice of the head of the Shi family came out:
"Fu The house cannot be moved!”
Patriarch Cui was stunned for a moment.
Then he let out a long sigh.
I feel unspeakable envy for the Fu family to be promoted to the eighth rank. The Cui family has been planning for hundreds of years, but it was stopped by the sudden rise of the Fu family.
He understood in his heart.
Once the Fu family is promoted to the eighth rank.
Will definitely be riding the wave.
Maybe he could be promoted to seventh grade earlier than several established eighth-grade families.
From now on, the Cui family and the Fu family are completely different.
Think about this.
Clan Chief Cui immediately said:
"Third brother, make me a list of girls of the right age to be married in the clan, hurry up!"
While the Fu family has not yet been promoted to the eighth rank, they can still talk to the Fu family. At that time, the marriage of the children was decided, and the Fu family would also be involved in the future. If someone came to ask for something, there would be someone to talk to. Although the marriage is a little late at this time, it is better to make up for it than to do nothing.
At the same time.
Shangguan family meeting hall.
Shangguan Feng and Shangguan Hongyu are sitting on the left and right sides of Shangguan respectively. They are half-steps into Zifu, and their status in Shangguan's family is unshakable.
After everyone has finished discussing.
But Shangguan Hui, who was at the head, couldn't help it. He stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"Great Elder, the Fu family has rented our treasure ship for ten years. During this period, many important tasks have been delayed. Well, if this treasure ship doesn’t come back, it will become the Fu family’s.”
Think about that time.
Shangguan Hui is also a member of the clan who responds to every call.
However.
Following his words at this time, no one dared to say anything, as if they didn't hear, they all drank tea separately, because Fu Changsheng had a life-saving grace for Shangguanfeng and his daughter, so don't say it was They had rented a treasure ship and actually gifted it to the Fu family. They didn't dare to say anything more.
But I can’t help but complain a few words in private.
Shangguan Hongyu narrowed her eyes slightly.
He said calmly:
"Elder Hui, why don't you ask more about why the Fu family rented a treasure ship?"
"Huh, what does the Fu family's affairs have to do with me?!"
< br>Since Shangguan Hui learned that Zhang Yuanyuan had cuckolded him.
The whole body is covered with thorns.
It doesn't please anyone.
Shangguan Hongyu was not annoyed, and said slowly:
“Let everyone know that the reason why the Fu family rented this treasure ship from our family was actually to go all the way to Jingzhou, and now they have turned back. But he brought back a ninth-grade family."
"That is to say"
"An eighth-grade family was born under our rule!"
As soon as this statement came out.
The whole house was in an uproar!
Under his rule, he was promoted to an eighth-grade family.
For the Shangguan family, it has great benefits. The most intuitive one is that it can help them be promoted to the seventh rank. In addition, it also has the blessing of luck.
Even Shangguan Hui, who was covered in thorns, heard this.
At this moment, it was rare to see even a hint of a smile on his face.
The puppet head of the Shangguan clan was busy agreeing:
"What Hongyu said is absolutely true. The Fu family has made a great contribution to our Shangguan family. It is said that the treasure ship is leased for ten years, even if it is given as a gift The Fu family wants it too."
"Yes, it's the elder and Hongyu who have evil eyes, and they chose Fu Changsheng to support them."
"No, if so. It was the Zhang family that supported them back then.”
Halfway through his words, the Sixth Elder realized that Shangguan Hui had chosen the Zhang family in the first place, and immediately fell silent. After all, Shangguan Hui's current situation was really pitiful.
Shangguan Hui, who was sitting at the end, was originally in a better mood, but when he heard the word "Zhang family", his face suddenly changed into a strange expression.
A cold snort.
Immediately left.
Behind.
But there were people's lively congratulatory and joyful voices, and the setting sun shone on him, making his shadow longer.
In the palace.
Shangguan Hongyu, who was sitting upright, turned to Shangguan Feng and said:
"Father, although the Fu family is already qualified for promotion, after the whole canonization process by the imperial court, I am afraid that It will take a while to prevent someone from sabotaging it. Do you think we should send people from the Foundation Establishment tribe to garrison at several Fu family strongholds? "
Currently.
In addition to the Fengshan tribe's land in Anyang County, the Fu family also has the Lin family's original fiefdom of Yunxiao Mountain, Yunshan County and Pingshan County, which is equivalent to four strongholds.
With Shangguan Hongyu reminder.
The rest of the people also came back from their joy.
In the entire Huainan, there is now only one eighth-grade family left, and as the head of the ninth-grade family, the Cui family has different intentions at this time and unites with the Qi family and the Hong family to attack a certain stronghold of the Fu family. Wonderful.
Of course.
The most important thing is.
The Fu family also has a public enemy, and that is the Gongsun family.
The Gongsun family will definitely not let it go.
Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, Shangguan Feng immediately transferred nine foundation builders from the clan, and went to Luofeng Mountain, Yunxiao Mountain and Pingshan County in Anyang County in groups of three:
"Fu Jiayun There is a demon-control city in Shanjun, and even the third-level demon king can be sniped. There is no need for us to send additional manpower to support this place. However, Changsheng’s treasure ship is still staying in Wanningfang City on its way back to Yunxiao Mountain. Just in case, Hongyu, please go to Wanningfang City in person and join Changsheng to bring the Yu family home. The others escorted him back to Yunxiao Mountain safely. ”
"Yes, father"
Shangguan Hongyu agreed very readily.
After all.
She and Fu Changsheng have not seen each other for more than ten years.
After everyone disperses.
Shangguan Feng cast a soundproof spell and said:
"Hongyu, after you see Changsheng, remember to remind him that the imperial court's expedition to the Yinan tribe has been put on the agenda, so that he can prepare in advance."
“Yes, father”
Shangguan Hongyu’s face turned solemn.
However.
He hesitated.
She still said:
"Father, what is the ultimate goal of the imperial court's attack on the Yinan tribe?"
These are all excuses to expand territory.
After all, there are so many tribes in the Eastern Wasteland, so why did they choose Yinan, which was still far away from Huainan, and several foundation-building tribes had to be annihilated along the way.
Shangguan Feng shook his head:
“Although the imperial court is taking the lead in this campaign, the main force is the seventh-grade Luo family, Wang family and Wan family. Only they know the inside story.”
Above. The three seventh-grade aristocratic families all have several Zifus.
The eighth-rank aristocratic family in Huainan Prefecture is under the rule of the seventh-rank Luo family.
"Father, why don't you go to Luo's house?"
Never fight an unprepared battle.
Shangguan Hongyu didn’t want to be stupid and had to let others take orders.
Shangguan Feng muttered:
"The Luo family has always ignored the subordinate families and has little contact with them on weekdays. Now that we have come to visit rashly, we are afraid that we will also learn from their mouths. I can’t find any useful information.”
Shangguan Hongyu shook his head.
He said quite confidently:
"Father, you are talking about the past. Now there is an eighth-grade family under our rule, and you and I are both half-stepping into the Zifu. As long as there is an opportunity, we can break through the Zifu." In front of me, the Luo family will always relent."
"Then I'll try to go to the He family meeting hall.
At this time.
The elders of the He family were wondering why the head of the family suddenly convened an emergency council of elders. He Qingshang, who had just established the foundation three years ago, was also sitting at the bottom.
Seeing the irrepressible smile on his father's face, he hurriedly said:
"Father, what happy event in the clan makes you so happy?"
On the face of Chief He With seven points of joy and three points of envy.
Looked around at everyone.
Then he said:
"Just now, Yong Yi sent me a message. He has returned to Jingzhou safely. This time he also brought back a ninth-rank Yu family. The Fu family's promotion to the eighth rank is just around the corner."
That is to say.
The He family immediately had an eighth-grade in-law.
The elders heard this.
Everyone was smiling.
Nearly ten years.
The Gongsun family hated their relationship with the Fu family. Relying on the privileges of the aristocratic family, they issued recruitment orders to them almost every year, which made them miserable. Secondly, and most importantly, Even Patriarch He himself almost died several times.
Now the Fu family has been promoted to the eighth rank.
Then you will have the ability to confront the Gongsun family.
The He family was finally able to free themselves from the bullying of the Gongsun family.
Elder He San’s eyes were red, and he couldn’t help but said:
“Master, this is really a happy event, such a happy event!”
“In the future, there will be this Fu family With a backer, our He family can always develop steadily for another hundred or two hundred years. "
"In the final analysis, the head of the family is far-sighted and has chosen the Fu family as his in-laws. The head of the house, the old man said some unpleasant things before, so please don't take it to heart, just think that the old man is confused. Fart.”
"."
The Fu family was promoted.
The veteran foundation-building elders who originally questioned Patriarch He were now completely convinced.
The atmosphere in the entire meeting hall can be described as extremely harmonious.
Only He Qingshang, who bowed his head, was filled with regret.
If she had followed her father's arrangement and married into the Fu family, she would now be the daughter-in-law of the head of an eighth-grade family, and the treatment and resources she would receive would definitely not be comparable to what she receives today.
After establishing the foundation.
She found that if she relied solely on hard work and wanted to break through to the Zifu within two hundred years of life, it would obviously be difficult to reach the sky.
And their He family only has so many resources.
Coupled with the depletion of resources in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it is even more difficult for the Huainan monks to practice.
at this time.
Clan Chief He, who was at the top, waited for everyone to rejoice, and then he said:
"Although the promotion of the Fu family to the eighth rank is already a certainty, we still have to send someone to prevent someone from causing trouble. The people from the Foundation Establishment Tribe went to help The Fu family guards several strongholds, and Pingshan County is near us. Third uncle, fifth uncle, and sixteen, please go to Pingshan County."
"Yes, the head of the family"
is ordered. The three foundation-building elders who were called responded loudly.
Wanningfang City.
The sound of footsteps came from the main hall of Zhenshisi.
Fu Changsheng took a closer look.
The first person to walk out was Palace Master Xu. Behind her was Yun Bozi, who had completed the conferment ceremony. At this time, Yun Bozi's luck was completely different from before. Vaguely, he could feel that he was surrounded by A mysterious atmosphere.
Fu Changsheng smiled and cupped his hands:
"Congratulations to Patriarch Yu on his promotion to the ninth-grade head of the family."
Yun Bozi smiled happily, but he knew that he was today thanks to Fu Changsheng, and his life was still in the hands of the other party, so he did not dare to trust him. , hurriedly said respectfully:
"This is all thanks to the support of the master's family"
Yun Bozi did not get carried away because of his promotion to the head of the ninth-grade family, nor did he forget the kindness of the Fu family.
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly with satisfaction:
"Clan Chief Yu, you people must be waiting impatiently outside, go ahead."
He still has a few words to ask Palace Master Xu
Wait until Yun Bozi retreats.
Dianzhu Xu was the first to speak:
"Clan Chief Fu, your Fu family has all the qualifications to be promoted to the eighth rank. In addition, Master Cao has already said hello in advance, waiting for the official canonization to be issued by the imperial court. , as long as three months, as short as one or two months, there should be good news.”
"Then it's up to you, Lord Hall Master."
Fu Changsheng was a little surprised.
If he followed the formal process, he would probably have to wait another year and a half.
Remembering what the intelligence mentioned, Mei Zhen transferred 10% of the profits from the mine to Cao Xiang'er. The other party probably saw this, so he said hello to the superiors in advance to avoid long nights and dreams.
Palace Master Xu personally sent Fu Changsheng outside the palace gate.
at this time.
The guards just happened to bring the Second Elder Gongsun out of the side hall. The Second Elder Gongsun’s consciousness swept over Fu Changsheng’s body, and he narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw that the other party had indeed broken through to the peak of foundation building.
Seeing how warmly Palace Master Xu was towards Fu Changsheng again, I had mixed feelings when I recalled that I had been sitting on the cold bench for most of the day.
But naturally this anger cannot be directed at Palace Master Xu.
You can only suppress your emotions.
But I thought of several steps of my own planning.
The second elder Gongsun's mood immediately improved, and he sneered in his heart: "Fu Changsheng, I'd like to see how long you can be proud."
I'm afraid it won't be long.
This little beast is going to cry and there is nowhere to cry.
Fu Changsheng and the Second Elder Gongsun passed by each other. Although the other party's rapidly changing emotions were well concealed, how could he miss it.
No need to think.
The second elder Gongsun must be holding back some damaging moves.
After coming out of Zhenshi Division.
Fu Changsheng immediately thought:
“Exchange information!”
