The Meng Family!

Although its current Family Head, Shangjiangjun Meng Wu, was not as prestigious as Wang Jian, the Meng Family commanded immense respect within Qin. They were a military house utterly devoted to the throne, having served Qin loyally for three generations. This gave them a unique standing that rivaled even the more deeply-rooted Wang Family.

As a house of the Old Nobility, the Meng Family had astutely avoided the power struggles with the New Nobility. For this reason, neither faction in the court dared to offend them.
