In other words, this w.a.n.g Zhijun had some weight to him.
”Actually, strictly speaking, the w.a.n.g family isn't a top family in Beijing. The top people right now are only w.a.n.g Zhijun's father. He is also a minister in the top ministries, so he isn't that prominent.” Ji Shalei said, ”But the problem is, w.a.n.g Zhijun's grandfather, the so-called Old Master w.a.n.g, is still alive!”
Ji Feng couldn't help but be taken aback. ”Another old man is still alive?”
This news caused Ji Feng to be astonished.
He had heard before that most of the elders of the older generation had already left in their carriages, and not many were still alive.
Each and every one of the old men who survived could be considered a good clan, and could even be considered prosperous. For example, his own clan. Because his grandfather was alive, the Ji Clan was stable, and was growing larger and larger.
For example, the Wu Clan, He Clan, and other clans were similar.
To put it harshly, if one wanted to see whose family was more prosperous, then it would really depend on which family's old man would live longer. Although this was not nice to say, it was a matter of reality.
This was because as long as the lordmaster was present, his old subordinates and descendants would all respect him a bit. Even the superiors would respect him a bit.
However, if the lordmaster was no longer here, it would be difficult to say if he was still given face. There were some families that would decline very quickly because the old man was no longer around, and those who were below weren't very good at being a person. On the contrary, it was quite common.
Ji Feng was very interested in these things. For example, he would ask about those famous generals who were familiar with the affairs of the country, and he also liked to listen to their deeds. Therefore, whenever he had the chance, he would often ask about these things while he was chatting with the old man or his second brother.
The old tutor was also interested in telling him all of this. Perhaps people would miss the past when they get old, and the old tutor was also full of zest when he told him about his old comrades-in-arms.
For example, when it came to a great general, the old tutor would have an expression of nostalgia on his face. He would talk about the character of this great general and the matters of his life, and if they had worked together, he would talk about the interactions between them. If they didn't belong in the same army, the old man would talk about how they competed.
For example, when they were fighting somewhere, who was the first to break through the city, who captured the enemy's commander, and who was the one who was controlling the enemy's firepower from the side …
The old man remembered all of this very clearly, and Ji Feng listened attentively.
From the old man's narration, Ji Feng could imagine the chaotic battles that had occurred at that time, as well as those famous generals and commander-in-chiefs who were gifted in military matters, and their unique charisma.
However, Ji Feng had never heard of him before. Where did Old Man w.a.n.g come from? Judging from Second Brother's manner of speaking, it seemed that this Old Master w.a.n.g was the same as the other old men.
Therefore, Ji Feng was very surprised. He curiously asked, ”Second Brother, why haven't you guys told me that there is still an old man left in the w.a.n.g Clan?”
Actually, from what Ji Feng could remember, not only had he never heard of the w.a.n.g Clan having an old man alive, he had never even heard of the w.a.n.g Clan!
Was he too ignorant?
However, Ji Shaolei sneered and said, ”It's normal that you haven't heard of him, because this old man w.a.n.g can't even be considered a founding father or a famous general. He only took the opportunity to take down a group of people in a few movements and then let Taizu rely on him.”
Ji Feng couldn't help but be startled, and then he began to understand.
If one were to talk about battling experts, then the Great Ancestor was undoubtedly one of them. One could see just how many of the big figures had been defeated. And in that environment, how many people were speculating, or taking advantage of the situation?
This kind of person did not have any skill, but his ability to see the wind and use the force of the wind was something that others could not compare to. In the end, many generals fought fiercely with the enemy, and even some generals' families made huge sacrifices, and some of their comrades and brothers died on the battlefield, but these people only needed to move their mouths and lift their pens to become officials.
