"However, my parents only mentioned the grievances between Shangguan tomorrow and the Dragon Slayer Gang, but they didn't mention it in detail, so the younger generation doesn't know the details of Shangguanshan City." Zhou Feiyan saw everyone They all looked at him and said.
The Taoist priest nodded and said: "I'm afraid the two heads of your sect don't know the secret of this. The origin of Shangguan Mountain City is not simple."
It turns out that this Shangguan mountain city was originally a descendant of the nobles of the previous dynasty. When the first emperor of this dynasty founded the country, he changed his surname to Shangguan incognito and hid in the mountains of Wushan, escaping the catastrophe.
Shangguanshan City, a descendant of the nobles of the former dynasty, had been accumulating strength and planned to contact various rebel kings to regain the throne when the dynasty was not stable. All affairs were in order, and there were elite soldiers and good generals to fight and guard. The anti-kings from all walks of life were beaten and wiped out before they could move. Shangguanshan City escaped disaster because it did not act rashly at that time, but it has also been in a slump since then. I dare not think too much.
Since then, the Shangguan family has been multiplied in Shangguan Mountain City from generation to generation, and the family population has increased day by day. Except for the direct descendants, the offshoots have gradually become residents of the mountain city. The entire Shangguan Mountain City is self-sufficient and a kingdom of its own. Of course, the secrecy work of the mountain city itself was also done extremely well. Outsiders who entered the mountain city in the past two hundred years were either never able to leave or were killed. Therefore, the secret of the mountain city has never been known to the outside world, which has also kept the mountain city from being discovered by the imperial court, and has not been conquered and wiped out.
But about seventy or eighty years ago, the wife of the old city lord of Shangguanshan gave birth to twins.
Having said that, the wine priest stopped for a while, smiled and asked Tantai Wutian and the others: "Do you know that in ancient times, what would happen if twins were born in the family of emperors and princes?"
Tantai Wutian, Zhou Feiyan, Ah Qingqing, and the little monk Rongxin glanced at each other, and they all saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Tantai Wutian asked strangely: "Isn't it born?"
The wine priest shook his head lightly, and sighed: "I don't know whether it's a blessing or a misfortune to be born in the family of the emperor and princes"
Hearing his sigh, Tantai Wutian couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"
The wine Taoist said slowly: "Speaking of this family of emperors and princes, what does my nephew think is the most important thing for them?"
"The most important thing?" Tantai Wutian was stunned by his sudden question.
"Keep the throne!" Zhou Feiyan and the little monk Rongxin said almost in unison.
Ah Qingqing still listened without saying a word.
The wine priest stroked his beard and nodded, "That's right. But do you know what is the most important thing to keep the throne?"
"Kill all those who covet the throne and the throne." Ah Qingqing said suddenly.
Taoist Jiu gave her a surprised look, and even Tantai Wutian and the little monk Rongxin gave her a strange look.
But after Ah Qingqing said this sentence, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Tantai Wutian, the little monk Rongxin and Zhou Feiyan looked at the wine priest again.
The wine priest put his hand on his beard and said: "What Miss A said is naturally good, but this matter is not the most important thing to keep the throne."
The wine priest paused, and then continued: "Things must first rot and then worms grow. Since ancient times, for emperors and princes and kings, what they fear most is actually the problem of the succession of the throne. There are countless cases of internal strife and even national destruction caused by problems in the succession. For example, the reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty recruited dog soldiers to attack Haojing was because of the troubles in the succession of the throne. Inheritance often takes precautions and solves any problems that may arise."
Speaking of this, the wine priest stroked his beard, looked at Tantai Wutian and said: "Then you say, what problems will happen if the queen or princess gives birth to twins?"
"Then there are two heirs?" Zhou Feiyan said.
Seeing that Tantai Wutian and the little monk Rongxin still didn't understand, the wine priest explained: "In order to ensure the smooth and legal succession of the throne, the emperor and princes often stipulate that those who can inherit the throne and the throne must be The eldest son is the first child born to the queen or princess. Now that two children are born almost at the same time, isn't that the problem?"
"So?" the little monk Rongxin asked.
"So, according to the legend, whoever has twins in the emperor's family will kill one of them." The wine priest said his conclusion slowly.
? Except Ah Qingqing can't seeToo many changes in expression¡ªalthough she is eccentric, she is not a person who expresses her emotions easily, which may be a trait that makes her suitable for being a disciple of Caiyi Granny¡ªeveryone else is a little stunned and shocked expression.
"Speaking of which, can you guess what it meant when the wife of the old city lord of Shangguanshan city gave birth to twins?" The wine priest brought the topic back to the secrets of Shangguanshan city.
"I understand that the city lords of Shangguanshan City are inherited from generation to generation, so they also face the problem of two heirs who are also qualified to inherit." Tantai Wutian said.
"That's right," the wine priest stroked his beard, and just about to continue, the little monk Rongxin suddenly interjected: "Didn't they kill one of the twins?"
"No. The wife of the old city lord of Shangguanshan couldn't bear it, and I think more of it was negligence. In short, they thought it was okay to let the one born first inherit the position of the lord of the city, and the assistant born later. But they didn't expect that the two An heir who looks exactly the same will bring great danger to the succession of the city lord." The wine priest said here as if he sighed for the old city lord back then.
"So something went wrong later?" Tantai Wutian asked.
"Yes, later on the eldest of the twins succeeded to the position of city lord smoothly. There was no trouble at first, but his younger brother was unwilling to take the lower position, but he couldn't take away his brother's position as city lord, at least clearly No. Later, he came up with an idea to go down the mountain to conquer the world by himself. Later, he brought his cronies down the mountain and established a martial arts gang, the Shangguan Gang."
"Later, the Shangguan gang did a lot of evil things and was chased and killed by the court and the martial arts. The younger brother had nowhere to hide, and he even took up the idea of ????the elder brother's Shangguan mountain city. bit."
"However, the reason why Shangguan Mountain City was able to avoid the imperial court's annihilation was because it had always been very secret and the outside world didn't know about it, but this time its existence had already been discovered. One of the sons of the Tantai family escaped from the mountain city and reported to the government, and the Shangguan mountain city was finally encircled and suppressed by the imperial court, and the mountain city was broken."
