Gaoyao Gao Taishi's face could be said to be ashen at this moment, and he could be said to be shamelessly blaming Ling Xin'an, and the anger in his chest was already deep and hard to resolve.

"Hmph!" There was an angry roar, accompanied by a tremendous pressure pouring from above. The Emperor of Zhou stood up and strode away without paying any attention to the ministers.

The officials quickly saluted and watched him leave. Everyone was trembling with fear and did not dare to take a breath.

After his back disappeared from the main hall, everyone raised their heads and looked at Ling Xin'an and Gao Taishi. At this time, no one left.

"What a majestic Marquis!" A cold snort rang out from the crowd. Ling Xin'an looked over and saw the voice of Governor Su.

Ling Xin'an looked at him and said calmly: "Prince Su, is this junior making you unhappy?"

Su Cishi said coldly: "The imperial court has its own rules. Don't you think it is beneath your status to be such a naughty Lord?"

"Identity? Are you telling me your identity now?" Ling Xin'an said with a smile.

"When I was captured by pirates, why didn't any of you think about saving the only Marquis today, but thought about Marquis dying for his country? Why don't you just do your own thing and insist on impeaching me? You really think I'm easy to talk to.

Cowardly? Do you want me to tell you something scandalous?" Ling Xin'an looked at Gao Yao and Su Jishi and said coldly.

"Originally, I just wanted to be a quiet lord waiting to die. You all wanted to impeach me one by one. Now that His Majesty is no longer in the hall, come on. Who wants to impeach me? Tell me. I will look at my Ling.

Why did I offend you?" Ling Xin'an sneered.

"Originally, you and I are in harmony with each other, and we live in peace and harmony with each other. Since some people don't want to see me well, then from today on, you don't want to think about it either!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar and looked at Ling Xin'an with different expressions.

"No one else knows about your so-called chamber of commerce in private. Dugu Lie told me a lot. Since everyone wants to play, let's play. People will die. Don't be unable to afford it then!" Ling Xin'an said coldly.

Looking at everyone, he strode away.

Even Ling Shang was stunned on the spot, looking at his son's back as he strode away with a stunned expression. His deadly words were the only thing in his mind.

Gao Yao's face was pale. He was already over sixty, and the younger generations in his family were not outstanding. No one inherited his studies and became an official in the capital. The reason why he did so was really out of jealousy.

The jealousy stemmed entirely from disappointment in his own back, so when the Marquis came back, he felt the need to do one thing, which was to impeach him and let him feel his anger.

"Ling Shangshu, your son is very angry!" Prince Qin said to Ling Shang with a smile. He did not say Lord Marquis, only his son, and everyone woke up after hearing this.

Ling Shang smiled awkwardly and said: "Young man, I hope you don't blame me for being ignorant!"

Prince Qin said calmly: "Who didn't have a temper when they were young? I understand, I understand!"

After saying that, he left immediately.

Prince Jing smiled mysteriously at Ling Shang and said, "Ling Shangshu, congratulations on the return of your family, Sanlang!"

After that, he walked away, leaving Ling Shangshu standing there with a puzzled look on his face.

"Old Ling, is this child okay?" After leaving the main hall, some officials who were usually close friends with Ling Shang asked quietly.

"It's okay, children don't understand etiquette!" Ling Shang said.

…

Ling Xin'an's incident in the main hall today quietly spread among the officials in the capital. Ling Houye's outburst was quietly spread by many officials. After learning about it, he once again encountered everyone's ridicule.

Lord Ling was so embarrassed that he became angry. This was what many officials agreed upon after private discussions, because they had never encountered anyone who dared to threaten them so blatantly in the main hall. They were frightened for a moment. When they return now,

After thinking about it, Ling Xin'an was just a young man who got angry.

Only Gao Yao was uneasy. He really regretted it, but after listening to the analysis of his close colleagues, it was right to think about it. The capital was His Majesty's capital, and he, a marquis, was not allowed to mess around. After all, this was not the place.

Jiangzhou City.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Ling Xin'an returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Butler Yang's figure appeared in the hall. It was obvious that Ling Shang wanted to see her.

After meeting their mother, Mrs. Dong, Ling Xin'an and Ling Shang were alone in the hall. Looking at Ling Xin'an, whose face was calm, as if nothing had happened before, Ling Shang suddenly didn't know how to speak.

"Father, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion!" Ling Xin'an said.

"You should know that those so-called impeachments are just to show his existence in front of His Majesty. As for what to impeach, it doesn't matter whether the impeachment is successful or not!" Ling Shang thought for a moment and said.

Ling Xin'an said: "My father has been an official for many years. Naturally, he is familiar with the court's routines, is used to them, and knows how to deal with them. After the child returned to Beijing, he has been tolerant, but he is still being ridiculed by these people.

, has touched my bottom line."

Ling Shangdao: "The official system in Beijing is complicated. What you did today is simply putting yourself on the opposite side of all officials. Even if someone touches your bottom line, you shouldn't say those words. There are things you can do.

, there are some things that cannot be said.”

Ling Xin'an sneered and said: "Yes, it's the officialdom thing, hypocrisy and flattery. On the surface you and I are brothers, but we want to stab each other behind the back. I can do it, but it doesn't mean I will do it!"

Ling Shang said coldly and angrily: "Do you think you understand the world and the interests of officialdom better than your father?"

Ling Xin'an looked at him, this nominal father, with a cold light flashing in his eyes for the first time.

Asking himself, Ling Xin'an does not intend to get involved in the Ling Mansion, nor does he intend to get too close to the people of the Ling Mansion. However, in this troubled world, he does not want anything to happen to the Ling Mansion, but the father in front of him,

Still no sign of crisis in sight.

Ling Xin'an did not have the ability to predict, but he actually founded a company from scratch. Taking precautions and being prepared for danger in times of peace can be said to be engraved in his bones. The current Great Zhou Dynasty is very similar to the Great Qin Empire he is familiar with.

The Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty died. When Qin Shihuang was on the throne, the survivors of the Six Dynasties were always there and did not dare to raise their heads. They could only hibernate in the dark like a tortoise, waiting for opportunities. When Qin Shihuang died, they immediately swarmed out and rose up.

, to overthrow the Qin Empire.

The Great Zhou is not like this, let alone the five barbarians who are in the dark, people are naked and watching from the side, just waiting for the Great Zhou to fall ill and swarm up to carve up the last land.

Ling Xin'an didn't know what Ling Shang said, but after returning to Beijing, His Majesty the Great Zhou rewarded him with a nominal Marquis. This made him feel discouraged for a time. He just wanted to make money and vigorously develop Xiaojiangzhou secretly.

Once the war breaks out, he can quickly evacuate to Xiaojiangzhou and take with him as many relatives and friends as he can. As long as he gets to Xiaojiangzhou, Ling Xin'an believes that there is no technological power in the world that can make him palpitate.

So he became a prince who was just waiting to die. The only thing he paid attention to about court matters was Wu Guangxian. The reason why he did this was actually for himself.

Because he always felt that the two dynasties with coastlines, Jin Kingdom and Gui Kingdom, were definitely secretly developing their own navigation industry. He helped Zhou Dynasty and there were many people like Wu Guangxian in order to have one more person in the future.

alliance.

Even after this, someone still wants to take action against him and assassinate him on Wu Guangxian's ship. If someone dares to assassinate a marquis on his ship, the murderer behind this is either the current His Majesty or the official of the capital.

Ling Xin'an is not stupid. Not long after he returned to the capital, Eunuch Zhao came to ask about Wu Guangxian, which meant that His Majesty had no reason to take action now, because even he never thought that anyone would dare to assassinate someone in the navy he designated.

Being a marquis also means that someone dares to send his own people in his navy. I wonder if your majesty can tolerate it today?

Obviously, Ling Shang hadn't thought of this yet, and Ling Xin'an didn't intend to say it because it was unnecessary. Looking at the father, Ling Xin'an said softly: "Father, the child already has his own mansion and his own title.

Matters in the officialdom are official business. You and I have different ideas. It would be better for us to talk less in the future. Otherwise, father and son will quarrel and hurt feelings, which is not a good thing!"

Ling Shang choked for it and stared at Ling Xin'an, but couldn't say anything.

Ling Xin'an said goodbye and left. The servants looked at the third young master's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh slightly and feel confused.

This third young master really does not plan to live in Ling Mansion anymore. It is rare to see him eating in the mansion. Even after he came back from the accident, he did not have a meal with the master and his wife in the mansion.

It's just that the third young master who was most filial to the old lady and never went out for anything has become the first person to move out of the independent mansion. And the eldest young master who has been away from home since he was a kid and has been away from home for most of the time is still here.

We eat and drink at home, but we never think about moving out.

Where did all this go? An older servant sighed. After all, they had watched the young masters and ladies of the Ling family grow up, and they thought they were familiar with their characters.

…

Hou Ye's Mansion.

"Master, are you really going to do this?" Ling Shuang said after listening to Ling Xin'an's words.

"Well, I thought that if I was kind to others, even if I didn't get reciprocal kindness, at least I wouldn't do any harm, but I was still naive!" Ling Xin'an said.

"Sir, let's leave now!" Xia Xiaoyu said.

"Leave? Where to go?" Ling Xin'an smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaojiangzhou is still a wasteland. Leaving like this will only tell the whole world that there is a world overseas, and it will only make this continent immediately become war-torn.

Life is in ruins."

The two women were silent. The truth was indeed as Ling Xin'an said. Nowadays, no one in the overseas continent has even thought about exploring and excavating. Once someone reveals it, no one can predict what will happen.

"Sir, do you still remember what you said in Jiangzhou City?" Xia Xiaoyu said.

"Of course I remember!" Ling Xin'an nodded: "Even if we are in the dragon's pond and tiger's den in the capital, we have to go and try it!"

The three of them said in unison, and when they finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other with knowing smiles on their faces.
