Lu Mingfei, who studied Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

The Last Emperor.

Gen Zhisheng nodded. He recognized the title of "Emperor" because Uesugoshi did have the oppressive power of an "Emperor". Even though Uesugoshi didn't deliberately target him, when the old man pulled him back to the ramen stall not long ago, , he still remembered deeply the aura that he exuded that could not be resisted. This aura made Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but think that if there is such a thing as an "emperor" in the mixed-race world, it should be the old man in front of him.

Although Minamoto Chisei himself also inherited Uesugi's powerful bloodline, he was artificially cultivated using in vitro fertilization technology after all. Compared with Uesugi's once-in-a-hundred-year pure bloodline, he is still inferior to Uesugi's pure bloodline. He has the blood of an emperor. Although his bloodline is stable, it still has flaws. There is still a certain gap between him and a true mixed-blood emperor.

"Although the Sheqi Eight Families have been composed of eight families since ancient times, namely the upper three families and the lower five families. All the mixed races in the eight families, without exception, are all descendants of the White King. However, the purest White King blood will always be It is only spread among the upper three families," Uesugoshi said, "because the upper three families are the descendants of the three great gods Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo, and the most outstanding talents of each generation of the upper three families of the Snakeki Hachi family will be Conferred the titles of 'Amaterasu', 'Tsukiyomi' and 'Susano'o'."

"What was your title at that time? Was it also Amaterasu?" Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but ask.

"No, I don't have a title." Uesugi shook his head.

"No title?" Yuan Zhisheng was stunned.

"Yes, because I overslept on the day of the crowning ceremony, and I kicked out the old priest who came to urge me. After returning to the shrine, the old priest didn't want to be surrounded by a group of young priests and family members. I was embarrassed in front of him, so I proudly declared in the main hall that this was the result of discussions between him and me." Uesugi Yue scratched his forehead, "The old priest said that my bloodline is too excellent, and I have all three titles. He is not worthy of me, and the only title that can match me is 'Mixed-blood Emperor'. This lie-like proposal won the unanimous approval of the priests and family heads for the first time, so the crowning ceremony that day was held without me. It’ll be over hastily.”

Minamoto opened his mouth, but could not speak. It was not until this moment that he finally understood what Tachibana Masamune meant when he described Uesugoshi as "free and loose"... But the word "free and loose" is no longer enough. To describe Uesugoshi's behavior back then, it might be more appropriate to describe Uesugoshi as "unscrupulous" or "wanton".

Yuan Zhisheng finally understood why his father was not welcomed by the family and was known as the most bizarre patriarch in the history of the Sheqiba family. If he were a priest serving such an unreasonable patriarch, he would I also get a headache every day that makes me want to kill myself with a piece of tofu.

"You are really...willful." Yuan Zhisheng searched hard and could only find this euphemistic adjective to describe Uesugoshi back then.

"Is this being willful? It should be okay." Yue Uesugi touched his nose, "It was the early days when I just joined the family. I still wanted to leave a good impression on the clan members, so I didn't have time to do anything. What an excessive move.”

"Yes, it's not... too much. Please continue." Gen Zhisheng agreed with Uesugoshi on the surface, but in his heart he murmured that this is not too much, so what is too much? Is it possible that you still need the family's priests to build a palace for you?

"I remember that the second year after I became the patriarch, my dormitory was completed. It was built based on the Palace of Versailles in France. Both the French furniture and the large Roman-style bathtub are very European-style." Uesugi Koshi With a look of nostalgia, "The palace is built in the outer suburbs of Tokyo. It is a vast area and sparsely populated. I live quite well."

"I still remember that after I left the family, the palace was quickly auctioned off. Maybe the family felt that it was a shame to keep the palace where I lived. At that time, we were defeated in World War II, and the family also needed money in many ways. It happened that a wealthy businessman from Kyoto expressed interest in the European-style palace, and the family simply sold it to him." Uesugi thought for a while, "I passed by by chance twenty years ago, and I remember that it seemed to be a tourist attraction. The art gallery has been renovated, but the tickets are too expensive, so I couldn’t bear to spend 1,000 yen to go inside.”

"You...continue." Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath.

Yuan Zhisheng never imagined that his family actually built a palace for his father, and he couldn't find any adjectives to describe his mood at the moment. His mind was only filled with a strong sense of... absurdity.

"Not only that, when I first joined the family, the family also found seven wives." Uesugi Yue said, "It's not so much wives, it's more about seed daughters who will accept my blood."

Yuan Zhisheng nodded. He had heard Tachibana Masamune mention this before.

"I still can't remember what any of them looked like. I only remember that when we first met, each of them had thick white powder on their faces, and their upper and lower lips were smeared into two spots of bright red, as if they had just been injured. Beat up the female cat." Uesugoshi's eyes were blurry, "Each of them has their hair tied as wide as a cattail leaf fan or as high as a tower. They wear extremely solemn kimonos, with white socks and wooden clogs at their feet."

"When they met me, they lined up in a row, their eyes full of nervousness and fear... and hope." Uesugi nodded, "Yes, it is hope, but it is not the kind of hope that a wife has for her husband, but more like It’s a dog’s anticipation of the food his owner is about to give him.”

"Just like I have never regarded them as my wife, they have never regarded me as their husband. It's not that they reject me, but that they don't dare." Uesugoshi said, "Because I am a high-ranking big shot, and I want to win. The wind and rain will come, and they are just the humblest breeding girls in the family. If they can serve me well, they will be able to ascend to heaven and become prosperous, but if they make me feel dissatisfied, their lives may be over."

"It sounds like you didn't really love any of them." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"Yes, I don't love them. Even though each of their figures hidden under the kimono is as plump as a pear, because the family believes that only women with strong breasts and perky buttocks are suitable for childbearing, I still respect them. I'm not interested because I don't like this kind of traditional Japanese women. Each of them looks like a big white goose with a thick body and a thin neck." Uesugi said, "So I continued to find really sexy women, the kind of Unrestrained women with European and American styles, these women are descendants of the family and mixed blood of six countries, romantic France, passionate Italy, and muscular Cuba..."

"I asked these women I found to teach my seven original wives what international dance is and what real coquettishness is. Each of them learned very quickly, and they worked hard to please me. Practice dance posture and flexibility." Uesugoshi said, "I am very happy because I enjoy this feeling of being superior. So far I have thirteen wives, but I still have no feelings for any of them. In my eyes, they are all dogs and toys. They make me happy because the dogs please their owners. I can play with them as much as I want, and none of them resist, and they will even say some flattering words to me. Put on a smile on my face, because it is their job to seduce me, and whoever can conceive my child first will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth."

During the narration process of Uesugi Yue, Minamoto Chisei had been listening quietly. He was very silent and serious, so he unconsciously brought his emotions to his father who was more than sixty years ago... It sounds like He does look like an extremely stupid emperor, but Yuan Zhisheng doesn't think there is anything happy about such a life, and he doesn't think his father was so abominable back then, whether it was his own father or the breeding daughters of the family, this kind of His extremely corrupt life only made him feel deeply...sad.

"In short, my daily life is very simple. I wake up in the morning from a European-style round bed that can accommodate twenty people. My wives will bring toiletries and carefully prepared breakfast in front of me. The breakfast is authentic French style. , because I am not used to Japanese breakfast, so the family specially invited a chef from France for this purpose." Uesugi Yue said, "After breakfast, I will be invited to the study room, and the priests will hold stacks of documents for me. I read it, some of which were family history, and some of which were mixed-race histories. Each time I flipped through a few pages symbolically. Only those nonsense myths could interest me slightly, and the rest of the content was very boring. The priests sincerely Advise me to read more about family governance so that I can be a virtuous monarch and help my spiritual status in the family shrine to be ranked higher after my death."

"I don't want to be a wise king. I don't care where my spiritual tablet is placed after I die. Whenever those nagging old guys wearing high crowns get impatient with me, I will yell at them loudly. Then they would kneel on the ground, crawling and begging for my forgiveness." Uesugi Yue said, "But I never thought about punishing them, but those old men talked too much, and I couldn't be clean. Just scare them."

"Your previous life sounded like a real emperor." Yuan Zhisheng commented, but in his mind he secretly added the word "faint" in front of "emperor".

"Who says it isn't? But for an emperor who ignores government affairs, his daily life is the same and extremely boring." Uesugoshi said, "After reading those sea-like documents, I will be arranged after a short rest. My whole morning is often spent learning tea ceremony and kendo, and then performing Japanese kabuki."

"After lunch, some eminent monks will come to my dormitory to teach me about meditation and Zen, or Shinto officials and priests will come to explain to me the Shinto doctrine of the Great Sun Tathagata." Uesugi sighed. He sighed, "After dinner, the best rope bondage master in Japan will come to show me Japan's most exquisite and quintessence of rope bondage skills, and the women being tied are all the most popular Kabuki actors of the year... ...To be honest, it was the most enjoyable time of the day for me, but deep down I still felt repulsed because the old guys in the family tried their best to turn me from a Frenchman into the most traditional Japanese."

"It sounds like the family has really high expectations and requirements for you." Yuan Zhisheng paused, "But the family doesn't seem to have done anything excessive to you, and has been tolerating you and trying its best to meet your requirements. "

"Yes, I feel a little outrageous now when I think back to my younger years." Uesugi said, "But I am a Frenchman at heart. Internationally, the French and the Japanese are almost antonyms. I yearn for the French." Lazy and romantic, how can they turn a Frenchman into a Japanese who is rigid and inflexible?"

"I mean, if you can't adapt to this and therefore leave the family, I completely understand." Minamoto raised his head and stared into Uesugoshi's eyes, "But why did you burn the family's shrine and documents before leaving? He also deduced the spiritual status in the shrine, and finally killed all your wives."

Uesugi and Minamoto looked at each other for a long time. He saw all kinds of complicated emotions and doubts in Minamoto's eyes. Finally, he sighed and said slowly: "All of this must start from me. Parents talk about it.”

"Your parents?" Yuan Zhisheng was stunned.

"Yes, my parents are your nominal grandparents." Uesugi nodded and looked at Minamoto, "The man named Masamune Tachibana told you why the number of people in the upper three families is smaller than that of the lower five families. How much less do you want to have at home?”

"Is it because the fertility rate among hybrids with purer bloodlines will be lower?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"You are half right. When two members of the Shangsan family combine, the chance of producing offspring with stronger bloodlines is higher. However, the fertility rate is actually not as low as you think." Uesugi Yue said, "Those with precious bloodlines have a higher chance of producing offspring. The tribesmen will definitely pay more attention to the reproduction of bloodline, and coupled with the not low fertility rate, the descendants of the three families are getting fewer and fewer. Do you think this is common sense?"

Yuan Zhisheng shook his head blankly.

"The reason for the decline of the upper three families ultimately comes back to the bloodline. The purer the bloodline, the higher the chance of producing 'ghosts'." Uesugi said, "Of the children born in the upper three families, , it is easy to tear apart the mother's abdomen and crawl out of the deformed fetus with a long tail and frightening golden eyes. Once such a deformed fetus transformed into a dragon is born, it will be killed immediately. The reproduction of the Snake Qiba family and inheritance are built on dripping blood, this is the curse that comes with the power that 'god' gives us."

This is the family history that Yuan Zhisheng has rarely heard of, and it is the dark side hidden in the history, because now there are almost no blood descendants of the upper three families alive, so naturally no descendants have been born, and there is no record in the family's family records. Such a bloody and cruel clip.

Now listening to Uesugoshi's narration, Minamoto's heart became heavy for no reason after learning the truth.
