Chapter 131: The Ji clan unites, Ying Wuji's scumbag quotes
"Then I will tell you two the story of bloodline!"
When Wei Huan and Han Zhe first heard Zhao Qi's words, they were not interested.
Bloodline?
Isn't it just blood?
The strong are more likely to give birth to strong offspring, while the weak are more difficult to give birth to strong offspring.
That's all.
Zhao Qi was not in a hurry. He slowly took out a meter-long scroll from behind the door and spread it flat on the table in front of the two of them.
The two of them looked closely and saw that it was densely covered with names, and the main branches were extremely clear. They subconsciously asked, "What is this?"
Zhao Qi smiled slightly: "The continuation of all the clans of the eight ancient surnames!"
"this……"
Wei Huan and Han Zhe looked at each other and could see the surprise and suspicion in each other's eyes.
Since the Great Xia Dynasty, the Central Plains has always been ruled by aristocracy. The so-called change of dynasties is actually nothing more than the change of aristocratic families.
King Wu's attack on King Zhou was nothing more than the Zhou tribe replacing the Shang tribe.
Even now, any ruling class in the Central Plains has a distinguished background.
However, the process of dividing surnames into clan names is too complicated, and the division of major and minor clans is quite frequent. Most families only remember their own origins and the origins of a few familiar families. For unfamiliar families, if they want to understand them, they can only check their family tree, but family trees are not something that can be shown to outsiders casually.
Looking at the scroll that Zhao Qi took out, almost all the well-known families in the world today can be found on it, and all of them can be traced back to the most primitive tribes. What kind of enormous power is behind this?
What was Zhao Qi's purpose in taking out this thing?
They didn't know clearly, but they understood that Zhao Qi had great ambitions.
Wei Huan's expression also became serious, and he made a gesture of invitation: "Pingling Jun, please speak!"
Zhao Qi smiled slightly: "In that case, I will start with the Ji surname of the two families..."
Then, he recounted in detail the origin and development of the Ji surname, all the way to the present-day Wei and Han families. Every time he talked about a family and each generation, he would describe the size of their fiefdoms, the number of people within the fiefdoms, and the number of masters in the clan.
At first, both Wei and Han were a little confused.
But they soon discovered the clues.
The number of masters often varies with the size of the fiefdom and the number of people within it, and is generally delayed by about two to three generations.
Looking at all families, there is no exception.
Admittedly, this can be explained by the fact that the more resources there are in the fiefdom, the more masters can be nurtured.
However, after most of the small sects were separated, the new fiefdoms had great potential, and there was no shortage of cultivation resources in a short period of time, but most of the small sects would decline rapidly.
So, this is the law of bloodline, and the bloodline is nourished by the fiefdom and the people?
Han Zhe half closed his eyes and said, "Thank you, Lord Pingling, for your teaching. However, the law of bloodline is not much different whether you know it or not. I wonder what Lord Pingling means?"
Zhao Qi smiled slightly and said, "Do you two still remember the matter of the three families dividing Li that I mentioned earlier?"
Wei Huan snorted coldly, "Of course I remember! On that day, Lord Pingling led the two of us to force the emperor to abdicate in the Chongli Palace, but he was frightened to death by the King of Li, and hurriedly broke the legs of his retainers and drove them out of the Kingdom of Li. Who in Jiangcheng doesn't know about this major event? Even though it's been many days, we still remember it as if it happened yesterday. How could we not remember it?"
Hearing this, Zhao Qi's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
Because of this incident, most of his 3,000 followers left in an instant.
If everyone's attention had not been focused on the Hundred Families Gala, he might have become the laughing stock of the entire Jiangcheng.
Whenever he thought of this matter, he felt chest tightness and his resentment towards Zhao Ji deepened.
Now that Wei Huan brought up this matter and mocked him, he felt extremely angry, but after thinking about his mission, he still managed a smile.
"It was beyond my expectation that Your Majesty could come out of seclusion, but it does not affect the continuation of the plan to divide the three families."
"oh?"
Wei Huan glanced at him and sneered, "Lord Pingling, do you mean to say that you dare to divide the country with us in front of His Majesty King Li?"
It’s not that he looked down on Zhao Qi…
wrong!
He simply looked down on Zhao Qi, but that was only a secondary factor.
Although the internal divisions in the State of Li were so serious, there was no sign of collapse for hundreds of years. The reason was that the deterrent power of King Li was too strong. At most, the country would be in chaos for a few years before the new King Li ascended the throne. But every time this happened, the team trained by the old King Li for the new King Li would take effect, making it impossible for the domestic families to act rashly.
If the Zhou royal family could stand up and directly select a few noble families to enfeoff princes, each family would be legitimate and dare to confront King Li head-on.
But the Zhou royal family...
Oh!
Let’s not talk about it!
Although the Zhou royal family still retained some foundation, the Li royal family did not dare to completely ignore it, but a head-on conflict was definitely not what the Zhou royal family wanted to see, because once a country's internal affairs were interfered with, it would arouse the vigilance of all vassal states.
How should the Zhou royal family deal with it then?
"Of course I wouldn't dare!"
Zhao Qi smiled coldly: "After all, my father is at the peak of his cultivation. I'm afraid Ying Yue is the only one in the world who dares to challenge him."
Wei Huan's expression became more and more contemptuous: "If that's the case, why did Lord Pingling invite the two of us? Dreaming is better when you dream alone!"
Originally, Wei Huan didn't have much opinion about Zhao Qi.
But last time he had just lost his beloved son, and the Wei and Han families were on the verge of a war. He had originally planned to take action secretly, but he never expected that Zhao Qi, who was so ignorant of his own abilities, would actually instigate the two families to force the King of Li to abdicate.
