The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 329 The Chen Family
The north of Yuanyang City was the residence of the top dignitaries in Longyou a year ago.

In the power field of Longyou, the officials who beat the yamen with iron, these aristocratic families are the evergreen trees.

They control all walks of life, and they can cause a lot of trouble with a wave of their arms, and officials have to give up three points.

If these aristocratic families join forces to put pressure on each other, even the governor of Longyou will have to avoid his sharp edge, which shows his fierce power.

But all this has become a thing of the past after a mutiny in May last year.

The aristocratic family, under the military power of the Yong Palace, was directly knocked down into the clouds, and the so-called prosperity and grandeur no longer existed.

The belongings of these big clans were confiscated, and all the clan members were dispersed, leaving only a few members of the main family to stay in the main house.

Because the status is no longer there, the prosperity is no longer there, and the entire North City fell into silence, becoming much more desolate and deserted.

But today, all the former nobles of Yuanyang have gathered in the Chen family.

In the past, they always behaved with their tails between their legs. In order to avoid suspicion, they would see each other in private if they could.

Otherwise, if the street patrol guards caught him, he would have to be blackmailed.

At this moment, in the main hall of the main residence of the Chen family, Chen Ruilin changed into a long robe and new clothes, and so did the others in the courtyard.

Since the decline of the family, although there are still a lot of fancy clothes left in the family, they are very low-key and don't wear them.

On weekdays, he is just like ordinary people, wearing a short shirt, which is low-key and suitable for work.

In the yard, there are more than 20 people, most of whom are over [-] years old.

In the main hall, Chen Ruilin was drinking tea when he saw his son Chen Hanzhi walking in.

"Father, everyone is here, let them all come in!"

Chen Ruilin was still drinking tea, looking very calm.

At this time, Chen Hanzhi reminded: "Father... we are so negligent, I am afraid that we have lost the etiquette of hospitality!"

At this moment, Chen Ruilin put down his teacup and said calmly, "Do you think that your father and I are narrow-minded?"

"My son doesn't dare!" Chen Hanzhi said quickly, although he thought so in his heart.

"Have you forgotten how we were excluded by them last year? What kind of miserable life did our family have at that time?"

Of course, Chen Hanzhi dared not forget these things.

Last year, the Erliufang monster broke out, Zhao Yanxun killed Hu Maode, and forced Chen Jiana to vote for it.

On the line of life and death, Chen Ruilin can only bite the bullet and jump into the pit, which can be said to be cut off from the powerful system.

After this time, although Chen Ruilin went to various houses to make a statement, he was still hated and hated by others.

So when Zhao Yanxun launched the mutiny, Chen Ruilin was the first to surrender, directly betraying the family's interests.

Because of his choice, compared to other families, his Chen family's life is much easier, and Chen Hanzhi even became an official.

Of course, this also led to a complete break between the Chen family and other families.

"That's right, Dad just wanted to avenge the past. They insulted us so much back then, so why can't we let them hang out today?"

"But Dad, isn't this just plain enmity? It's not good for us!"

Hearing this, Chen Ruilin suddenly laughed, and only heard him say: "Do you think that we and they have to support each other? See you up and down, so we need to build a good relationship?"

Just as Chen Hanzhi nodded, he heard Chen Ruilin scold: "Wrong!"

"Why?" Chen Hanzhi couldn't figure it out.

"Support each other, that is under equal circumstances, we are the same as them now? If it is the same, why do they gather in our house?"

Hearing this, Chen Hanzhi suddenly understood a lot, and he only heard him say: "So, father is not just for venting anger, or for establishing power?"

Seeing his son's enlightenment, Chen Ruilin was relieved and said: "We were the first to surrender, and His Highness praised us. If we can't surpass other families, wouldn't our hardships be in vain?"

"In the afternoon at the royal palace, they have to beg for their father to take them there. If they don't show some prestige at this time, they won't know the rules in the future!"

Chen Hanzhi nodded, feeling ashamed of his superficiality. He really didn't think as much as his father.

However, at this time, Chen Ruilin continued to say: "In addition to revenge and standing up, there is actually another reason!"

There is a third reason?Chen Hanzhi thought about it, but he didn't understand the third reason.

"Father please teach me!" Chen Hanzhi said respectfully.

The reason for bringing up the third point is that Chen Ruilin also has the intention of teaching his son, after all, the Chen family will have to be carried by young people in the future.

"As a superior, you are most afraid of colluding with the people below. You should understand this truth!"

"Our family is going to be the leader of each family. Do you think His Highness will be wary of us?"

Being brought up to this point, Chen Hanzhi understood no matter how stupid he was, so he continued, "So dad and the other families are angry, and it's just for His Highness to see!"

Chen Ruilin didn't answer directly, but said: "Now in Yuanyang City, His Highness can speak his mind, so we naturally have to follow his rules and do things according to his wishes!"

There was silence in the room for a while, and then Chen Hanzhi said: "Father is thoughtful, my child respects you!"

Chen Ruilin stood up, walked out, and said: "You can talk less with your mouth, but you must think more about things in your head... We will rely on you to support our family in the future!"

Feeling the weight of the old father's words, Chen Hanzhi's mood suddenly became much heavier.

Then he took a step and followed his father's pace, and he decided to change from this moment on.

Soon, the two of them appeared in front of everyone in the yard.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time!"

Everyone was silent, obviously a little upset, but at this moment Chen Ruilin showed a smile.

"I follow His Highness's order to summon you all this afternoon... Your Highness wants to summon me!"

"Your Highness summoned me, I don't know why?" someone asked from below.

On the steps, Chen Ruilin said calmly: "His Royal Highness asked me to send a message, but he didn't say exactly when. If you are willing to go, please register with me. If you don't want to go, you can leave now!"

Since it is a registration, it is not mandatory, but Zhao Yanxun summoned, who would dare not go?
"I sign up, brother Chen put me on the list!"

"I'm going, brother Chen must remember!"

At this time, everyone had to be careful, for fear that Chen Ruilin would miss him.

At that time, a charge of "disrespect" will be charged, and none of the people present can bear it.

"Come one by one, I'm old and my memory is bad, maybe I'll miss someone!"

Hearing Chen Ruilin's words, everyone's hearts tightened, and they had already scolded Chen Ruilin in their hearts.

Seeing everyone's deflated appearance, Chen Hanzhi also felt very relieved. Back then, these people were arrogant and arrogant to attack the Chen family.

Everyone signed up one after another, and everyone said a lot of good things to Chen Ruilin, and some even apologized to the Chen family, saying that they misunderstood the Chen family because they were coerced and deceived by others.

In any case, through the matter of signing up, the Chen family can take advantage of these people.

After the registration was over, Chen Ruilin notified the time and place of the afternoon gathering, and then everyone went home.

Everyone was very disturbed, not knowing what would happen when they went to the palace, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
