I summon heroes in the last days

The aristocratic family was an organization that had been hidden in the modern history of the empire for a period of time, but with the development of the humanistic society in the empire, after people returned to the clan, the aristocratic family reappeared in front of people, especially in the upper echelons of the empire. Concentration allows the power of the aristocratic family to expand step by step, becoming an existence that even the government fears.

There are no thousand-year-old dynasties, only thousand-year-old families.

It is this family.

The aristocratic family first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, it had already become active, and even stepped onto the stage of history.For example, the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei were divided into Jin. Among them, the Han family, Zhao family, and Wei family were the big families at that time.

Later, with the development of feudal society, the aristocratic family gradually controlled the local land and formed its own circle of influence through the continuous expansion of personnel, accumulation of wealth and extension of contacts.

The chaotic wars of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the chaos of the Five Husbands in the Western Jin Dynasty later, there are shadows of aristocratic families in it.Even in the Tang Dynasty, the power of the aristocratic family was still strong.At that time, the royal family would be rejected if they wanted to marry a woman from the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family would regard marriage with the royal family as a shame.In the final analysis, the productivity was not strong at that time, and the imperial examination had not yet prevailed.The aristocratic family controlled the books and knowledge, and most of the officials in the court came from the aristocratic family, which became the existence that the royal family dreaded.Later, with the improvement of productivity, the improvement of paper, and the appearance of movable type printing, books became popular all over the world, and the children of poor families began to embark on official careers. However, the heritage of the family still exists, and even if they retire from the court, they are still tyrannical in the local area. .

After the establishment of the empire, after a series of blows and purges, the family gradually faded out of people's sight in society, but it didn't just calm down.They are familiar with how to integrate into a new dynasty, and they can naturally integrate into the new system of the empire.

With the emergence of the imperial restructuring, the imperial power gradually disappeared, and under the powerful finance, more people became the power holders. With the strong capital of the family, the elite children of the family were quickly sent to the upper class of society. His influence is like a fish in water in the upper class.

And as the empire became stronger and stronger, the return of overseas aristocratic families also stimulated the development of aristocratic families in the empire, and even many descendants of aristocratic families became high-level officials in the empire, controlling some important resource channels.

According to the development of society, they will once again embark on the familiar path and become a family that will not fail.If there is no apocalypse, perhaps hundreds of years later, they will restore the glory of their ancestors again, and perhaps an invisible dynasty will appear again on the land of the empire.

But now, the end times have come.They had just recovered and climbed up again with the help of the big tree of the country, and they were ready to thrive. Before they had time to start their magnificent dreamland, they were crushed and trampled by the monsters who came suddenly, and they hid obediently in the city.

Of course, not all aristocratic families have to go through such twists and turns, and there is always a family in the empire that becomes a transcendent existence.They have played a noble role in the successive dynasties.The alternation of the country cannot shake them, and even every time the dynasty changes, they should have a vigorous development.

They are the Kong family.

The Confucius family in Zicheng.

When the end of the world came, it was because of the existence of the Kong family that two base cities appeared on the peninsula.

Regardless of the external claims that Zicheng was able to be established, it was the result of the resistance of the island city, but the leadership of the empire knew that the establishment of this city was the contribution of the Confucian family.

Without the insistence of the Kong family, so that the empire could not easily give up the peninsula, how could Daocheng persist until the end.And the magic city that also persisted until the end exhausted a lot of manpower and material resources in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.How could a single island city that was destined to fall be worthy of the empire's investment, and the Kong family had such power.

In order to continue the survival of the family, they used all their strength to re-establish a base city on the peninsula.Of course, their initial plan was to build a base city in the local Qufu. Even if Qufu is just a cultural city, after accumulating a lot of money, it will become a strong fortress.

Of course, the empire will not let them go. After all, the end of the world is coming, and the chaos of social order will seriously affect the credibility of the empire. If they follow their requirements, it is hard to say whether this base city belongs to the empire or not.

In the end, Zicheng was selected as the base city, and the Kong family also separated and moved here.

It can be said that in Zicheng, the Kong family is a detached existence.

Although Zicheng is divided into one mansion and thirteen districts, there is still a core area, which is a mansion of the Confucian family near the science and technology area.

This Confucian mansion is not crowded with buildings, but it occupies an area comparable to that of a large area.

The total number is hundreds of thousands. Except for the thousands of members of the Kong family, the others are vines attached to the big tree of the Kong family. They rely on the power and status of the Kong family to survive, and the Kong family also extends their tentacles to All walks of life have re-established their own 'pyramids' in the last days.

Of course, this group of people will not appear in front of ordinary people, or their daily job is to be ordinary people.However, their identities are not well known.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Confucian Mansion, this ancient-style building was copied from the original model of the Confucian Temple in Qufu and built here.

In the courtyard, there are rockery pavilions, pavilions, waterside pavilions, winding corridors, and endless servants.

In a hall, a group of people sat on both sides.Sitting at the top was an old man with gray hair, wearing a dark blue gown, holding a teacup in his hand, took a sip, then put it down and looked at the people on both sides.

All the elders and leaders of the Kong family are sitting here.The most familiar one is the old man, Kong Yonglian, the contemporary resident of the Kong family.If it is placed in the ancient court, this person is a well-deserved 'Yan Sheng Gong'.

"Patriarch, there is news from the government that the city is now covered in gold, should we move it?" After sitting for a long time, an old man under Kong Yonglian got up and asked.

Aristocratic families, surname transmission, seniority is particularly strict.The elders have absolute control over the younger generations, especially in a family of etiquette like the Kong family, not only is there a strict division of generations, but the power of the patriarch is even more tyrannical.He even holds the power of life and death over the clansmen.

At this time, although these are the top existences in the family, in front of the patriarch, they dare not tamper with the proper etiquette, and the proper dignity is also strictly compared.

Heaven, earth, ruler, relatives and teachers, apart from heaven and earth, the head of the Confucian family is the emperor, an existence above parents and relatives.

Kong Yonglian looked up at the clan elder who was speaking. He knew that this person was originally not a direct line of the Kong family, but he climbed to this position only by relying on an outside clan member in the city, and that collateral clan member was not someone else. The north commander of the city, Kong Shiwei.

"Xizhu, as a member of the Confucian family, we must be stable in our lives and actions. Only by being stable can we make people think with confidence and spirit; only by being stable can we not be surprised or messed up in things; and the family can stand for thousands of years. , stable characters are particularly important.”

Kong Yonglian said a bunch of insignificant words, which made Kong Xizhu below not sure to pay attention. Moreover, the patriarch's attitude was obviously dissatisfied with her, and she only regarded herself as reckless.

Just this morning, his nephew Kong Shiwei had sent news that the city wall was attacked by sea monsters several times, and more than half of the defending team had been killed or injured. Without support, the city wall would be difficult to hold.

Therefore, early this morning, I wanted to let the family take action. After all, as the elder of the family, even if he had just been promoted, he knew the background of the Kong family.

However, now that the patriarch has said such a thing, I really can't decide to pay attention.

Silently returned to his seat, thinking about the meaning of the patriarch's words, he didn't dare to say more.

Next, the elders of each clan talked about their own affairs, some things the patriarch would interject a sentence or two, and even give some instructions, most of the people below were talking, and the others were just listening.

Finally, the meeting is over.

After walking out of the hall, Kong Xizhu, who hadn't figured it out yet, quickly ran to an old man, and asked respectfully, "Elder Yonghe!"

This person is the younger brother of the Patriarch, and is also the current Great Elder. Although he has a high position and authority, he is friendly at that time. Kong Xizhu can be promoted to an elder because of his help. At this time, I don't know the meaning of the Patriarch, so I can only come here Ask about it.

"Hehe, Xizhu, what's the matter?" Kong Yonghe had a smile on his face, his chubby cheeks were pulled to the base of his ears.

In fact, he knew the meaning of this little guy in his heart, but recently this guy has been jumping a lot. Today, the patriarch has beaten him a lot, and he doesn't have to be a villain now, so he said along the way, "It's because of this morning."

"Grand Elder Mingjian, the patriarch's words today are really unpredictable. Please give me some advice." Kong Xizhu asked respectfully.

"Hey, let's go, this is not a place to talk, go to the gazebo."

The two of them came to the gazebo all the way, and people around had brought cakes and tea, so they sat down here, and after a short rest, Kong Xizhu said, "Grand Elder, there has been fighting outside the city now, if the city wall is breached, There will be no eggs under the overturned nest, our Kong family can't avoid it."

Kong Yonghe said cheerfully, "Xizhu is too impatient." Then he picked up the pastry and put it in his mouth, chewing carefully, "I heard that someone in the city has found a way to eat monsters, and eat them It can also strengthen your body, I don’t know if it’s useful for people my age to eat it.”

Kong Xizhu was a little ashamed by what was said, so he could only say along the way, "It was created by the people from the southern part of the city, but the things on this monster are not clean after all. Anyone who has food to eat should not take risks."

"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case. Looking at it now, these are all good things. We humans have never eaten anything, and they may become the staple food on the human table in the future." The great elder Kong Yonghe said. He is very caring.

"What the Great Elder said is that I will go get some good products at noon and let the Great Elder taste them." Kong Xizhu didn't know what the Great Elder liked, so he hurriedly agreed.

"Well, Xizhu has a heart." Kong Yonghe took another bite of the pastry, and the two fell into silence.

Just when Kong Xizhu was about to lose his composure and ask questions, Kong Yonghe glanced at him, and finally said, "The patriarch's meaning is very clear. Be stable, seek stability. This means that everything is based on the family."

Seeing that Kong Xizhu was still a little confused, he said again, "It's not our Kong family's turn to come forward in Zicheng now. Naturally, someone will go up to block the hole in the crisis of the city wall. Now is not the time."

"It's not the time yet, so when are you waiting, everyone is dying." Kong Xizhu hurriedly said when he heard that it was not the time yet.

"Hehe, man, isn't there still a lot?" Kong Linghe got up and left after speaking.

Kong Xizhu, who was sitting in the gazebo, slowly savored the meaning of the words of the great elder, and suddenly the family's struggle experience told him that the Kong family was gaining momentum.In other words, the Kong family waited for the people in Zicheng to fall into trouble before taking action, and only at the most important time, only in this way could they consolidate their family's position in Zicheng and even the empire.As for those who died in this process, how many people died, it was not their consideration.

In their eyes, there are only benefits, power and status.

"Sure enough, it's very aristocratic." With a sigh at the end, Kong Xizhu secretly sighed that he was still too young, or in other words, the water of the aristocratic family was too deep.
