"Aristocratic families don't have to be royal families; they can recruit talented people from all over the world to work in the court.
"Talent in aristocratic families dwindles quickly, so there's a need for marriages between the major families. The relationship between my father and Concubine Zhou is based on the necessity of marriage.
"In fact, my father and mother were also married through a family alliance. You know that, and you've met the Ying family before. That Ying Chen is your grandmother's younger brother."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Shuangbao understood a little.
She couldn't help but wonder why Beirong didn't have a proper royal family.
Before coming, her father told her that the reason why Beirong was so powerful was largely due to its geographical location. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the area bordering Dongqi was a plain, so the conflict between Beirong and Dongqi was so great.
The royal family of Beirong was just a decoration. There was no centralized power in the hands of the royal family, but the aristocratic families were in power.
The downside of aristocratic families being in power is that they will abuse their power for personal gain.
Aristocratic families take the family as their core, not the country.
Normally, the noble families fight for power and profit with each other and never cooperate.
Only when the common interests of the families are violated will they temporarily put aside their grudges and cooperate. For example, when Xiao Shuangbao came to Beirong this time, the reason why the families worked together so well was because of the resurrection of Xiao Shuangbao's father, the god of war.
Although the aristocratic families are selfish, they are not stupid.
Once the God of War is resurrected, they themselves will be in danger. After all, there will be another war at that time, which will be a waste of money and manpower, and the aristocratic families themselves cannot afford it.
"I still have one question I don't understand."
Little Shuangbao thought for a moment and then asked, "Before we came here, you all said that the Yun family wanted to resurrect my father. But after we got here, I don't think Yun Ting is a brainless person. He thinks resurrecting my father is not a good idea. Isn't it better not to do it?"
"Things are not as simple as you think. In other words, it's the upper echelons of the aristocratic families. What you see now is just the surface." Yun Wuyao shook his head again, his expression becoming a little solemn. "Although my father is the head of the Yun family, in reality, above the head of the family, there is the upper echelons of the Shengquan Pavilion. The people of the Shengquan Pavilion are the ones who truly control the fate of each aristocratic family.
"It is the Holy Power Pavilion that wants to resurrect your father, not the Yun family you said you saw."
Yun Wuyao told Xiao Shuangbao about the situation of Shengquan Pavilion.
Xiao Shuangbao probably understood something.
The people in Shengquan Pavilion are the most capable people from all the major families. For example, it was said in the past that the Yun family was a hidden master of metaphysics and a disciple of Tianshi, but in fact, this refers to Shengquan Pavilion, not the Yun family members headed by Yun Ting.
"Yun Wuchen, your mother and I were all chosen by the Holy Power Pavilion as the next generation to join the pavilion. However, your mother hated the Holy Power Pavilion and refused to join. This was the real reason why she ran away from home.
“I don’t care. I’d rather stay with the Yun family and take care of my father and mother.
“But Yun Wuchen is different.
"His master is an elder of the Holy Power Pavilion, so his temperament is more similar to that of the people in the Holy Power Pavilion. They are of the same kind. So, when he felt that you were of no use to him, he ignored our blood relationship and wanted to kill you. But when he discovered your value, he suggested that you return to the Yun family."
