In this world, some people take one step to see one step, some people take one step to see three steps, and Xu Xiao takes one step to see ten steps.
Xu Xiao in "The Sword Line in the Snow", known as "Human Slaughter", is the only remaining king of the Yang Dynasty with a different surname, and has 300,000 iron horses under his command.
However, Xu Xiao is not a reckless man, he is both wise and courageous, and his plans are unmatched.
On the surface, in order to make Xu Fengnian able to "hereditary replacement", Xu Xiao paid everything.
However, after understanding the true meaning of "hereditary resignation", we will understand that xu Xiao did not do everything just for his son Xu Fengnian.
Xu Xiao has four children, daughters Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong, and sons Xu Fengnian and Xu Longxiang.
In order to allow Xu Fengnian to be "hereditary and reckless", Xu Xiao had already begun to plot, and even sacrificed all his children, marrying Xu Zhihu into the Lu family in Jiangnan, letting Xu Weixiong go to the Yin Xue Palace, and letting Xu Longxiang go to Longhu Mountain.
From the beginning of Xu Fengnian's second trip to the rivers and lakes, Xu Xiao's complete layout has also emerged, and everyone Xu Fengnian carries is a pawn in Xu Xiao's hand.
For example, Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei, on the surface, are handmaidens, but they have another meaning: using their identities to make the Lu family and the North Starling look at each other.
However, this is not the real purpose, the real effect is to make Jiang Ni reveal the identity of the Princess of Western Chu, and let her return to Shu land in order to cause the jealousy of the Liyang Dynasty.
Prior to this, the emperor of the Liyang Dynasty refused to receive Xu Xiao, and after this, the emperor took the initiative to order Xu Xiao to exchange something for the holy will of "hereditary resignation".
Xu Xiao's plan worked, and the Liyang Dynasty still had to rely on the Northern Starling Army, so it had to agree to Xu Xiao's request, and Xu Xiao only lost a position of "Shangzhu State" with no real power, just to save face for the Liyang Dynasty.
So, Xu Xiao has done so much, what is the meaning of "hereditary resignation"?
In fact, "hereditary replacement" is different from "ordinary hereditary".
The number of hereditary inheritances of "ordinary hereditary" is limited, and each time it is inherited, the inheritor can only inherit a title that is one level lower than the original title of the inherited person.
The inheritor of the "hereditary succession" can inherit the original title of the inherited person, and the number of hereditary successions is unlimited.
To put it simply, if it is "ordinary hereditary", then after Xu Xiao's death, Xu Fengnian can only inherit a title one level lower than Xu Xiao, and the title of King of The Northern Starling will be revoked by the imperial court or given to others, that is, the Northern Starling will change hands.
However, if it is a "hereditary succession", then Xu Fengnian can inherit Xu Xiao's title of King of the Northern Starling, and the Northern Starling will be inherited by the descendants of the Xu family for generations, and the Northern Starling will always be surnamed "Xu".
Because of this, Xu Xiao will calculate step by step, and what he has done is not just his son Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian is important, but more important than Xu Fengnian is the inheritance of the Xu family and the stability of the North Starling.
Xu Xiao is a father, he also feels sorry for his son, and does not want to put his son in the target of public criticism, but for the sake of the Xu family and for the sake of Bei starling, he has no other way.
The position of The King of the Northern Starling must be inherited by Xu Fenglai, so that the Xu family will not fall and the Northern Starling will not disperse.
Therefore, Xu Xiao felt guilty about Xu Fengnian, so in addition to the general direction of "hereditary replacement", Xu Xiao worked hard to compensate Xu Fengnian in other aspects.
Xu Xiao knew that when Xu Fengnian truly became the King of the Northern Starlings, then his future life would be like his own, and he could only consider the overall situation in everything, and there was no self.
However, despite this, the position of the King of the Northern Starlings could only sit in Xu Fenglai, and the Northern Starlings could only be surnamed "Xu"!
