The Great Seminary

Chapter 156 Casual Suppression
The area of ​​​​Xianrongdao Sichuan Ginseng Port is more than tens of thousands of acres.

The giant Dragon Fish ship, which occupies half of the dock in Zhihai Town, is still visible at a glance when it is parked here, but it is no longer so conspicuous.

Zhang Gui used a large iron turtle mechanical boat to carry the rescued soldiers and generals, and navigated with the "Water Curtain Sea Chart".

After spending several hours, we finally sailed into the harbor under the cover of night, but there was still no boat to moor.

There was no choice but to park in an empty berth.

Drop anchor and moor the boat.

During this period, no one was interested.

This made Zhang Gui secretly wonder why the First Military Port of Xianrong Island, which was managed by Zhen Wangxing, looked even more shoddy than the port in his own Zhihai Town.

Although the giant dragon fish ship is enough to suppress all "disobedience", this is not how things work.

But now that he was on someone else's territory, he didn't say anything strange and pretended to be calm.

He threw all the baggage onto Lu Zhenduan, who got off the boat with him.
"Master Lu, you insisted on coming to Xianrong Island.

Now that we’re here, what should we do next?”

Lu Zhenduan also noticed something strange about the Sichuan Ginseng Port and said to Zhang Gui with a wry smile:
"Yang Longhu, you saw it too.

Now Sichuan Port is actually acting out the "empty city plan".

I guess the outcome of the battle between King Zhen and the Yuanshan guards is not very optimistic.

I don’t know what to do.”

Ever since I witnessed with my own eyes during the day how Zhang Gui slaughtered hundreds of Baiyang Borqin light cavalry in a short period of time, like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

The various methods used during that period were unprecedented to him, so Lu Zhenduan consciously and voluntarily lowered his attitude in front of Zhang Gui.

Don't dare to be the boss anymore easily.

Zhang Gui had no other choice but to call over Zhang Rui and Shi En, who had saved him.
"Master Zhang, Master Shi En, you are the Prince Zhen's envoy..."

As he was speaking, suddenly a white shadow fell from the sky, followed by a strong wind.

Looking closely, it was Shen Shijing, the 'Exiled Immortal of White Porcelain', still dressed in white.

But today, the cuffs and hems of her long sleeves were stained with blood.

"It turns out that the exiled immortal Shen Ze has arrived." Lu Zhenduan hurriedly bowed.

He was quite respectful to King Zhen's beautiful lady.

Zhang Gui also bowed politely.
"Hello, Mr. Shen."

"Yang Longhu, you are just a cousin of the Qingdou Academy disciples, and I am no longer a teacher of Qingdou Academy.

You don’t have to be so polite.”

Shen Shijing returned the greeting and smiled.

Then, looking at Shi En who was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief, which was unusual.

Then he suddenly used the 'Nine Mountains Suppression Technique', waved his hand to summon a majestic earth energy, and pressed it heavily on Shi En's shoulders.

He was pinned to the ground with his entire body prostrated.

"Shen Shi'en is in a state of national crisis.

As the 'Left Imperial Archer' of the Han Li Yulin Army, you were ordered to guard the residence of Prince Zong Guozhen, but you ended up secretly going to the battlefield with your battalion of archers.

It almost caused a disaster, what crime should be punished! "

"I've already said that my name is Shi En now, not Shen Shi En.

Unless the restoration of the country is successful, how can we, the descendants of King Taizong of Shi, still be worthy of using his surname?

As for His Royal Highness Prince Zong Guozhen, he has powerful guards, so one more or one less won’t make a difference…”

"You bastard, you still dare to quibble, you are so stubborn.

There has to be severe punishment!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shijing's face turned pale and he interrupted Shi En in a deep voice.

He took out a small cloth bag like a brocade bag from his waist, shook it in the air, and actually put the kneeling Shi En into it.

"Shumihua Jiezi can't pretend to be a living thing, how come he can turn into a living person here?

It is a bit like the treasure "human pocket" that was lost and then found again by the Maitreya Buddha in the previous life's "The Story of Visiting the Buddha in the West".

Shen Shijing, a former royal family member who destroyed an island nation, actually hid such a treasure. It seems that a family's foundation is not only proportional to the power it possesses, but also to the land, population, resources and other means of production.

The length of time must not be ignored.

Zhang Gui, who boasted that he was becoming more and more knowledgeable as his status and position continued to improve, almost fell out of his eyes when he saw this, and thought silently in his heart.

"Master Yang, thank you for saving Shen Shien.

I cannot express my gratitude for your kindness. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Zhang Gui was stunned, "Mr. Shen, you are rarely so serious.

Is that Shi En Zuo Yushe important?"

Shen Shijing hesitated for a long time before finally telling the truth:

"After Han Li's fall, although a few close branches of the royal family still survived, he was the only one left of the 'Bow Bearing Lineage'.

If any of them are missing, it would be equivalent to 'incompleteness of the four elements', with disastrous consequences. ”…

Xianrong Island is close to Dongsheng Continent and has been influenced by the civilization of Donglu since ancient times, especially the system of aristocratic families, which is almost passed down from generation to generation.

Even because the change of dynasties on the island nation is slower than on the mainland, the system is more ancient.

For example, Han Li, because the founding emperor Jing Guicheng had four legitimate sons.

Except that the eldest brother was first named "Chenglie Dazongjun" and then inherited the throne.

The remaining three legitimate sons were respectively given the hereditary titles of the three great princes, 'Yingyang, Xiangong, and Chuanjian', that is, the iron-hat princes of the great country and dynasty.

And Jing Guicheng left the above metaphor,
If the eldest son's lineage has no legitimate son, then the non-legitimate eldest son will abdicate and become Chenglie Dazongjun.

The throne was inherited by the second son's branch, 'Yingyang Dazongjun'.

Then, if the second son's branch also loses a legitimate son one day, the non-legitimate eldest son will abdicate and return to the position of Yingyang Dazongjun.

The throne was inherited by the third son, Xian Gong Da Zong Jun, and this cycle repeated.

Logically speaking, such a system is actually very absurd.

Because if the 'three great princes' have no legitimate son, the eldest son who is not the legitimate son can inherit, but the king cannot.

There may be a contradictory situation where the heir to the throne is not the king or the eldest son, but the eldest son of the "Daejonggun".

What's more, this system will cause countless palace disturbances and national disasters.

Just to fully reflect the traditional aristocratic idea of ​​'eldest son is inferior to the eldest daughter' in ancient Dongzhou...

“The eldest son of King Han Li’s family is extremely strict in his assessment.

It goes without saying that the father must be a king or a prince, and the mother must also be a queen or a princess when giving birth.

Otherwise, it won’t work even if you are canonized later.

As for the possibility that the non-eldest son of the Great King's family cannot inherit the throne, but the Great Zongjun's family has the same idea, the order is actually different.

It should be that the status of Daejonggun is not as high as that of the king, so the etiquette of succession can be less strict.

When there is no legitimate son, the position of clan leader will be inherited by the eldest son who is not the legitimate son.

After inheriting the position of Grand Lord, the identity of this non-eldest son completed his transformation.

He was no longer the illegitimate eldest son of the Zongjun family, but 'Your Highness the Zongjun'.

At this time, there was no illegitimate son in the king's lineage, so he was of course qualified to inherit the throne.

The order of their advancement is different.

However, Han Liguo's 'four-line division' system did cause a lot of trouble.

It even killed someone. Well, the situation is special now. We are on Xianrong Island, so some things are difficult to say.

In short, this system has been passed down for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people on Xianrong Island.

If the "Four Incomplete Clan" incident occurred when Han Li's country was overthrown.

The common people on Xianrong Island would probably think that the demise of the Shen family was destiny.

It would be extremely difficult to restore the monarchy.”

Shen Shijing put Shi En into a small bag and left with the remaining archers.

Lu Zhenduan looked at Zhang Gui's confused eyes and explained Han Li's system of "succession through four clans" in detail.
