FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER

Chapter 2514  Long Qian Xing and Song Chuan’s Conversation (3)

This was not because Emperor Yang Zhou hated money or anything.

It was mostly because he didn’t want to replicate the situation that happened in his youth. The fact that the prime minister back then rise because of money was something that everyone knew very well.

Emperor Yang Zhou’s father was able to rise into the position of the emperor through the money that the prime minister gave him.

Because of that, he had a lot of power in the court and Emperor Yang Zhou’s father indulged him.

But Emperor Yang Zhou was unwilling to let the same situation arise. It was precisely because of this that the Imperial Examination was held and most officials had to be selected through this path. Even though the system was still a bit crude in Long Qian Xing’s opinion, but it was far better than buying position with money.

At the same time, Long Qian Xing agreed with Song Chuan’s words.

The Mu Family might be a bit restless in the future.

But that would be left to Song Chuan to handle. “Alright, the other one is the Xian Family… Are you talking about Prime Minister Xian’s family?” Long Qian Xing asked. There were two prime minister, prime minister of the left and prime minister of the right. One of them was Prime Minister Lan, who had supported Emperor Yang Zhou through the years and his loyalty was unquestionable. He was basically the one who brought Emperor Yang Zhou to his current position and protected the other party. The other one was Prime Minister Xian.

This Prime Minister Xian was promoted after Emperor Yang Zhou’s inauguration when he came to age and held the power of Fei Yang Kingdom in his hand. He has been quite loyal from what Long Qian Xing heard and at the same time, he was also very capable. Without his help, especially in designing strategies, the war might have lasted much longer than they were.

At that time, countless people would die as the result of the war.

Even now, there were already many people who died and many people who were caught as prisoners of war.

“Yes.” Song Chuan glanced at Long Qian Xing and slowly started, “You might not know about the Xian Family before because they’re just a small family, but they have started to rise after Prime Minister Xian takes his position.

Slowly but surely, there are more and more people from the Xian Family who entered the court and took power in various areas. I noticed some of them and they do have real capabilities.”

Long Qian Xing nodded.

It seemed that the Xian Family’s genes were really good if they could produce several scholars. This might also be related to their family’s education but no matter what, Long Qian Xing felt that it was not something for him to concern himself about. “The Xian Family also send some people to send to the new Capital City to follow Prime Minister Xian, but there are a few people left from the Xian Family.” Song Chuan looked a bit helpless when he thought about this. “One of them has a position that is only below me and he’s still trying to get more power.”

With the backing of Prime Minister Xian, it could be said that the Xian Family was indeed quite floating and all.

Song Chuan could only grit his teeth and accepted it.

After all, while he was actually under Long Qian Xing, he didn’t dare to show off his power so openly. Long Qian Xing didn’t give him permission to use Long Qian Xing’s name and Song Chuan also wouldn’t say it.

He had to pretend and act as if he had no backing at all.

It was also because of this that Song Chuan had headache when facing the people from the Xian Family. “Thankfully, the Xiao Family is there to help me balance the situation. While the Xian Family are troublesome, they’re not as troublesome as the Xiao Family.” Song Chuan shrugged.

Long Qian Xing nodded.

He could guess that the situation on the court was much more complicated than what Song Chuan told him. But it was Song Chuan’s decision to enter the court and Long Qian Xing only provided help so that Song Chuan’s path could be smoother.

As for what Song Chuan wanted to do and how he wanted to do it, most of it had nothing to do with Long Qian Xing. For this reason, the two of them rarely met with each other.

“As long as you can still deal with them, it’s good,” Long Qian Xing replied and then asked, “And the last family?”

“The last one is the Han Family. You’re not familiar with them because they’re fully focused in political side and their family power is not that bad,” Song Chuan replied and then gave a brief introduction about the family. Long Qian Xing nodded to indicate that he listened.

“Below these five families, there are more than 10 families with some power in Cheng City. They might not be comparable to your family and the other families, but they have their own advantage to be able to stay in Cheng City.”

Song Chuan thought of something and then said, “One of them is the Su Family. If I’m not wrong, the Su Family made some trouble to your wife during the banquet some time ago…”

“Oh?” Long Qian Xing’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “It seems that there are still people who are eager to seek death.”

While Long Qian Xing knew that Nan Hua would definitely make the member of the Su Family suffer on the spot, he still would not let the Su Family off so easily.

Since they dared to bully his wife, they have to be prepared for his anger. “The Su Family has just moved to Cheng City a few years ago, replacing the previous Su Family and their behavior… is a bit aggressive.” Song Chuan shook his head. “Even without you doing anything, they might not be able to last long.”
