Establishing a thousand-year family from the nobles of the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 79: Family split, Xu Zhen's dream

By now, the factional strife in the Han Dynasty had become extremely serious. Even saying one wrong word could lead to impeachment by hostile forces, especially those led by the Imperial Censor Zhang Tang.

Just like a mad dog, it wouldn't let go. Although Xu Zhou wanted to stop it, he was powerless.

He did have great prestige, but he could not control these important officials.

Liu Che also slowly straightened up and said calmly: "You won't be able to come up with anything even if you discuss it. Taichang Xu Zhou is highly respected and is also the nephew of our teacher. Let him decide."

Given the character of these guys, they won’t be able to come to an agreement without arguing for a few days, so it’s better to hurry up and decide on it and carve a monument.

Everyone said in unison: "We obey your command."

Xu Zhou glanced at the ministers below and said, "My uncle is not just a civil servant. He is a military commander. He made great contributions in the battles against the Huns in the past. This point must not be ignored."

Upon hearing this, most of the ministers could not help but frown, as this would mean removing Xu Gong from the Imperial Academy.

However, this would not be good for the Xu family. Everyone knows how terrifying the identity of the founder of the Imperial College is. Xu Zhou himself is the Imperial College Commander, so there is no reason for him to do this.

Sure enough, Xu Zhou said: "Similarly, my uncle also played an important role in governing the country, so this posthumous title should be taken into consideration."

"Let's call it Zhongwu."

Zhongwu...

This posthumous title actually took into account both civil and military factors. Even though the two major forces were not satisfied, they had no choice but to give it up.

"I agree. This posthumous title is sufficient to show Prime Minister Xu's achievements."

Zhang Tang expressed his position on behalf of the French Party and chose to make concessions.

Although he couldn't get closer to Xu Xiang, at least the other party didn't lose either. He neither lost nor gained, and maintaining the status quo was barely acceptable.

His Majesty today prefers the Legalist ideas, so the Legalist party naturally has an advantage.

"I also agree with the teacher's proposal. Prime Minister Xu is a man of both civil and military talents. He deserves the title of 'loyal and martial'."

The Confucian Party representative Liu Quti also gave up this opportunity. He absolutely could not go against Xu Zhou.

Of course, certain political conflicts are another matter. This is a matter of principle. If fundamental interests are threatened, no one will care about the old teacher.

Seeing that all the ministers had reached a consensus, Liu Che nodded and said, "In this case, we will give the teacher the posthumous title of Zhongwu. Later, all the ministers will pay homage together and pray for the teacher."

"We obey your order." Everyone said in unison.

[Ding, a super high potential heroic spirit has been detected. Do you want to save it to the birth card for use? ]

"Birth card? I almost forgot about this thing. If used properly, it can extend the life of the family. Just in time."

[Red Birth Card: When the family is in absolute crisis, you can summon the Heroic Spirit of the Hall of Heroes to possess you temporarily (can be used three times)]

[Xu Gong: Politics (87), Command (98), Wisdom (90), Military Strength (100), Controlling People (91), Literary Skills (81)]

After being nurtured in Valhalla, Xu Gong's comprehensive attributes have been greatly enhanced. Now he is no longer biased in one subject and can be called a hexagonal warrior!
Except for his slightly lacking political and literary skills, everything else is simply perfect, especially his military power and command, which are comparable to or even surpass the Overlord Xiang Yu. Looking at the entire Chinese history, he can be ranked among the top five.

Xu Zhen clicked the "Yes" button without hesitation.

[The Birth Card was successfully collected, and the person who can be possessed is: Xu Gong]

He clutched the golden card in his hand and felt heavy in his heart. This was his last son. In less than a hundred years, everything turned to dust.

Xu Zhen probed and put the card away. He had to cheer up, as whether he could accomplish the goal of making his whole family become gods depended on him.

[First Ancestor: Xu Zhen]

[Head of the family: Xu Ye (Henan Xu family)] [Status: Marquis, Great Agricultural Order of the Han Dynasty]

[Faction: Han Emperor]

[Attributes: Politics (81), Command (66), Wisdom (85), Military Strength (61), Controlling People (85), Literary Strategy (90)]

[Faction attitude: Han Emperor (friendly), ministers (admiration), Xiongnu (hostility), Confucian scholars (respect), legalists (friendly), relatives (friendly)]

[Head of the family: Xu Nan (Qinghe Xu family)]

[Status: Marquis, General of Chariots and Cavalry of the Han Dynasty, General of the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty]

[Faction: Han Emperor]

[Attributes: Politics (75), Command (88), Wisdom (70), Military Strength (87), Controlling People (80), Literary Strategy (79)]

[Faction attitude: Han Emperor (friendly), ministers (friendly), Xiongnu (blood hatred), soldiers (respect), Confucian scholars (friendly), lawmen (respect), relatives (friendly)]

"It was split into two, but I didn't expect the system to recognize the split family."

Xu Zhen felt like he had discovered a new world. He didn't feel anything about the family split. Instead, it was better because all eggs should not be put in one basket.

One is in charge of politics and the other is in charge of military affairs, so that there will be no accidents.

"Then can I incite the family to split up? When the whole country is filled with Xu's descendants, won't I be able to win without doing anything?"

However, Xu Zhen quickly rejected this idea, because the system's judgment criteria are based on a greater impact on history. If no one from the Xu family holds a high position in the court, the game will end early.

Moreover, he needs an established family to judge. If it were that simple, he would have succeeded in his previous lives.
Therefore, he cannot play it this way. It would be better for him to focus on supporting one or two families.

"Forget it, let's go meet him." Xu Zhen thought for a moment and decided to send a dream to Xu Nan and make a jade pendant for him.

This time I gained a huge amount of destiny points, which was just enough.

.........

After Xu Nan finished the court meeting, he returned to his mansion in a carriage. His fief was in Qinghe, so the family ancestral hall was also set up there and was called the Qinghe Xu Family.

It is a very standard family of military honors.

What was discussed at this court meeting was the expedition to Nanyue. After the autumn harvest, Emperor Liu Che would mobilize an army of 300,000, divided into four routes led by General Xu Nan, and launch a massive attack on Nanyue.

"It looks like we are going to have another tough battle. Although our Han army has the advantage in manpower and weapons, acclimatization is still a problem."

Xu Nan knelt on the ground, holding the emperor's edict in his hand, his expression was very solemn, and the dim light was swaying.

At this moment, a butterfly that had been flashing azure light flapped its wings and slowly flew in front of him.

"This is..." Xu Nan put down his things, frowning, as if he was very dissatisfied with the servant's cleaning.

Suddenly, a strong light burst out in front of his eyes, and the scenery around him gradually became illusory.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a peach orchard with petals falling, and a handsome figure was standing in front of him with his hands behind his back.

The man turned around slowly, and Xu Nan's pupils constricted. He had seen this face before, in his grandfather's portrait!

"Xu Nan, my grandson." Xu Zhen said lightly.

"Hello, Grandfather!" Xu Nan had heard from his father a long time ago, so he quickly knelt on the ground and looked at Xu Zhen nervously.

He had no doubt about this man's identity, and the reason for his uneasiness was very simple: he had split the Xu family!
