Chapter IX Controversy in the Court
Chapter 9 Controversy in the Court ()
In the center of the floating city of the Xia Kingdom, there is a magnificent palace. This is the capital of the Xia Kingdom and the palace of the Xia Kingdom. At this moment, in the palace, two old men are facing each other, and they are sitting on top wearing dragon robes.
The young man had a look of embarrassment on his face. There was nothing he could do! Because the two old men who were facing each other were not other officials, but the two current heads of the Qin family and the Liu family from the four major families in the Xia Kingdom. Putting aside the two of them,
The power of the aristocratic family, the two of them have reached the level of high-level martial arts, not to mention that they each control most of the Xia Kingdom's military strength.
"Let me tell you Liu, if anything happens to my son this time, I will never let you go to the Liu family." Qin Li shouted at Liu Mao with a fierce expression on his face, even though his son had an affair with a woman back then.
He had a falling out, but he was still a close relative of his own flesh and blood. Moreover, over the years, he gradually understood that he was indeed wrong, and his eldest son was indeed up to par, so in recent years, he also began to care about his son's condition.
"Tch, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If your son accidentally dies at the hands of the Dongguo people, then your son's lack of academic skills will be the blame for what happened to my Liu family." Liu Mao responded to Qin without showing any weakness.
Make a sentence.
"Fuck! Old guy Liu, this time your son deliberately delayed my son's support for a day. How should you settle this account?"
"Oh!" When Liu Mao heard this, he suddenly became speechless. He cursed in his heart that his youngest son was out of his mind. The Qin family used such a reason to attack his Liu family. Could it be that he didn't know the relationship between them?
?
"Old Qin, you said it was my son who delayed your son's reinforcements. Who can prove this? I also said it was your son who was incompetent? Yunzhong City fell in just one day, I still doubt you
Is there any collusion between you and Dongguo?" Liu Mao said plausibly, and if someone didn't know his personality well enough to see this scene, he would actually believe what he said.
"You're farting. Our Qin family has been loyal to our country for generations. I also said that your Liu family has colluded with the traitors in the Winter Kingdom. Otherwise, why would your son deliberately delay my son's reinforcements? You have ulterior motives. Your Majesty, please think twice about that!"
"You fart, Your Majesty, I am really unjust! I think the Liu family has always been loyal and good, how could I do such a treasonous thing? Please help me, Your Majesty, to clear this injustice!"
When Zheng Chenggong saw the expressions of the two people in front of him crying out for injustice, his head suddenly got bigger. This was not a scolding, nor was it true. Whenever he spoke, he would definitely offend someone. This was simply not a human being inside and out.
"Your Majesty, I think this incident in Yunzhong City is a bit fishy." An old man suddenly stepped forward and said.
"It's over, it's getting more and more chaotic." After Zheng Chenggong saw the appearance of his second elder, his head became even bigger. Grandma, did you not read Feng Shui in court today? Because the person who stood up to speak was actually from the Zhang family.
The head of the family is Zhang Xiaotian.
When Qin Li saw that the person speaking was Zhang Xiaotian, he frowned because he knew that the Liu family's daughter was married to the current head of the Zhang family as his wife. When Liu Mao saw Zhang Xiaotian speak, he suddenly smiled brightly.
After all, they were his in-laws, so they must be speaking for themselves, but what Zhang Xiaotian said next surprised the two of them.
"Your Majesty, according to the news from the border, the Winter Kingdom has dispatched three groups of soldiers and horses this time. One group of armies marched forward, while the other two groups of armies came in sneak attacks. This shows how much the Winter Kingdom laid down this time.
However, General Qin only has one vanguard camp stationed in Yunzhong City. It is not easy to hold it for three days. Judging from the distance from Longhua City to Yunzhong City, Wei Chen believes that if he marches quickly, it should be easy within one day.
It can be reached, but why it took General Qin's troops two days to arrive? There must be something fishy in this."
Although Zhang Xiaotian did not explain what he meant, how could an official who could go to court be a fool? Naturally, they could hear the meaning of Zhang Xiaotian's words, and what surprised them was that Zhang Xiaotian usually stood at Liu's house, didn't he?
Why did you actually speak on the side of the Qin family this time? Aren’t the Zhang family and the Liu family related to each other?
When Qin Li heard Zhang Xiaotian's words, he was stunned at first, and the next moment he frowned. He stared at Zhang Xiaotian, as if he wanted to see something from his expression, but unfortunately the latter still maintained an indifferent attitude.
, as if those words just came out of his mouth.
"Could it be?" A piece of news suddenly popped up in Qin Li's mind, that is, the news passed back by his secret agent hidden in the youngest son's army once mentioned something, that is, a man suddenly appeared in the Tiger Regiment.
A mysterious master, and through his investigation, he found out that this master is actually a "special" direct descendant of the Zhang family. Yes, if this is the case, then Zhang Xiaotian's behavior today is not surprising.
After Zhang Xiaotian saw the changes in the expressions on Qin Li's face, he thought to himself: "This old guy is really powerful. He can see my purpose so quickly. Anyway, this favor should be enough for your son to take care of me in the army."
That grandson, this damn little thing, actually kicked such a genius out of the house like a waste. He needs to be repaired properly when he goes back."
Zhang Bingwu, who was standing behind Zhang Xiaotian, suddenly shivered all over, and felt confused in his heart. Could it be that he was suffering from the wind and cold? Are you kidding me? Can people with low-level martial arts cultivation be affected by the cold? Zhang Bingwu had no idea what to do next time.
The family will be scolded by their own father.
Liu Mao opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhang Xiaotian with an expression of complete disbelief. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would have thought that Zhang Xiaotian was joking with him.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the court was a bit strange. The emperor did not speak, and all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned. But after a while, the officials from the three parties also turned their attention to the representatives of their respective forces. As long as
If their immediate boss says a word, they are ready to attack.
Zheng Chenggong's eyes scanned the faces of Liu Mao, Qin Li, and Zhang Xiaotian one by one. He also thought about the meaning of Zhang Xiaotian's actions today? Could it be that there was some conflict between the Liu family and the Zhang family? Impossible? If Zhang Xiaotian
If there is really a conflict between the Liu family and the Liu family, then there is no way that I don’t know about it! If there is no conflict between the Zhang family and the Liu family, then why would the Zhang family help the Qin family today? Is there something fishy in this?
"Is it that mysterious young guy?" Zheng Chenggong suddenly remembered the latest news about the Tiger Regiment he got last night, that is, when the Tiger Regiment was about to annihilate the entire vanguard camp in Yunzhong City, the Tiger Regiment killed
A high-level martial arts master turned the situation around, and finally helped Qin Xiaotian successfully break out. Could it be that Zhang Huaming was from the Zhang family? If this is the case, then Zhang Xiaotian's move today is justified. After all, the western border is the territory of the Qin family.
"Everyone, now that the Tiger Regiment's vanguard battalion has successfully broken through, let's put this matter aside for now. After repelling the Winter Kingdom invasion, I will find out the truth and give the three elders a satisfactory answer, okay?"
"I will obey the holy edict." Zhang Xiaotian, Liu Mao, and Qin Li said in unison.
Qin Li also compromised after hearing the emperor's words. Although he had caught the Liu family today, he also knew that this leverage could not lead to the death of the Liu family, so naturally he would not press too hard. After all, they were pressing, and both sides
It's no good.
Liu Mao, who had been caught by Qin Li, was naturally happy when he heard the emperor's words. What's more, the attitude of the Zhang family seemed a bit wrong today. He had to quickly ask his daughter if she had anything to do with Zhang.
The one in the family had some conflicts, and they had to resolve the problem as soon as possible. If the Zhang family and the Qin family really stood on the same front, then the Liu family would be in danger. You must know that the military power held by the Qin family is no different from that of the Liu family, and
The Zhang family controls the financial lifeline of Xia State.
Zhang Xiaotian originally didn't want to get involved in the fight between the Liu family and the Qin family. In the past, his son took the lead, and sometimes he couldn't say a few words. After all, it was still a relationship between relatives, but this time he changed
His stance was to give a good impression to the grandson who was a well-known figure in the army. If the emperor wanted to be a peacemaker at this moment, this was naturally what he would like to see.
"I have ordered Guan Yuan to be the expedition general, and command a group of troops to go to Longhua City to join the Tiger Regiment and defend Longhua City. I have ordered Tianyuan to be the expedition general, and to lead a group of troops to Shanhaiguan to join the Knights and defend Shanhaiguan. If that
If Fang is defeated, there is no need to return to Beijing."
"I sincerely comply with your Majesty's instructions." All the Chinese, civil and military officials said in unison.
"Retreat from the court." Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and left.
"Huh!" Liu Mao and Qin Li glared at each other and walked away. When the officials from both sides saw their master leaving, they naturally followed him. In just ten breaths,
, the court became empty.
Zhang Xiaotian watched the two groups of the Liu family and the Qin family leave with a playful smile on his face. Unfortunately, there was a voice at this moment that ruined his elegance.
"Father, why are you today?"
When Zhang Xiaotian heard his son's question, his original good mood was completely ruined. He turned to his son with an angry expression and shouted: "Useless trash, I'll take care of you when I get back."
Zhang Wubing was inexplicably drunk by his father and was confused. When he saw his father's leaving back, he hurriedly followed him with an aggrieved expression.
After Zhang Xiaotian returned home, he only issued one order, that is, the name of Zhang Huaming's biological mother, Wang, was recorded in the family tree. This order caused an uproar in the Zhang family. You must know that the person who was recorded in the family tree will also be included in the family tree.
It means truly entering the family, and if Zhang Huaming's mother Wang is not recorded in the genealogy, she is just a servant in the Zhang family. Even if her son is the biological flesh and blood of the head of the family, she is still a servant.
But things are different now. Wang's name is recorded in the family tree, which means that she is now the second wife of the Zhang family and is fully qualified to be on an equal footing with the current wife of the Zhang family, Liu, especially since her son will also compete for inheritance rights in the future.
s right.
Zhang Bingwu left the study an hour after being summoned by his father. His first order when he left the study was for the Wang family to live in the west courtyard. His order shocked the Zhang family again.
It caused an uproar. You must know that only the wife of the head of the family is qualified to live in the West Courtyard, and this order from the head of the Zhang family means that the wife of this house is recognized.
"Have I really lost my sight all these years?" Zhang Wubing walked out of the study with the news that his father said in the study still echoing in his mind. He really couldn't believe that the child he gave birth to after drinking and having sex was actually a genius.
The existence of a high-level martial arts master? Oh my god! How old is he? If he remembers correctly, that kid should not be sixteen years old this year, right? He has reached a high-level martial arts master at the age of sixteen. This is
What a monster! There is no doubt that he has reached such a height at such a young age. There is no need to think about what height he will reach in the future. He fully believes that once this kid comes back home, he will be in the heart of the ancestor of the family.
