Chapter 92: Discussion in the White Tiger Hall (1)
Chapter 92 Meeting in the White Tiger Hall (1)
When Mao hour is approaching, the sky is already dimly bright. In the outer city of Jinchang, more and more people are getting up early to work. However, the inner city where the dignitaries live is still peaceful, with only a few scattered...
The lights flickered dimly, and most of the servants who got up early were busy, while most of the real disciples of the aristocratic families were still in their dreams and sleeping soundly. However, in the silence of this sect,
A burst of passionate war drums suddenly sounded, and the entire inner city immediately became completely "chaotic". All the major families were jumping up and down, because this drum sound was the sound of the general's order - four years ago,
Ever since Liu Xiaoquan was bedridden, the drum had never sounded again. Everyone had forgotten that there was such a thing as Dian Mao. Now when the drum roared, the big and small dignitaries all panicked.
One by one, they were all hurriedly putting on their clothes and armor, not even bothering to wash themselves. They hurriedly galloped towards the location of the Governor's Mansion in all directions, and the thunderous sound of horse hooves resounded in the inner city.
There was a situation of chaos and chaos.
"What happened? Did the Zheng family call?"
"No, I haven't heard of it. Wasn't it fine yesterday? What happened today?"
"I don't know. Could it be that something happened to the Grand Governor?"[
"You crow's mouth, if something happens to the Governor, our Yanxi sky will collapse!"
A group of disciples from aristocratic families rushed to the small square in front of the Governor's Mansion in a panic. They were shocked to realize that the Governor's Mansion was now very tight. Thousands of black-clad armored guards were scattered around, and the security was extremely tight. Except for the king,
The disciples of Shi, Zhang and other big aristocratic families were able to get in, but the rest were not allowed in. They could only gather in the small square and talk nonsense. There were all kinds of speculations, but no one knew what happened.
.
What exactly happened? Not to mention the dignitaries from small and medium-sized aristocratic families who were waiting in the small square, even the disciples from big aristocratic families who had entered the Dudu's Mansion were also confused by Monk Zhang Er, because among them
Although most people entered the gate of the Governor's Mansion, they were unable to enter the core of the White Tiger Hall. Only the heads of the three major aristocratic families could enter. Shi Fenggong, Zhang Chaoyang, etc. were all attacked by a group of gangsters.
Guard A politely but resolutely blocked the outside of the hall. Faced with such tight security, even the most fiery-tempered Shi Fenggong did not dare to be too presumptuous. After muttering a few words, he could only wait with the others.
And stayed outside the Baihu Hall.
There was chaos outside, but it was eerily quiet in the White Tiger Hall. When the three masters entered the White Tiger Hall, they discovered that the person in charge, Liu Xiaoquan, had not arrived yet. Not only that, there was not even a single figure in the huge White Tiger Hall, let alone the waiter.
There were no servants, not even a bodyguard. When the three masters saw this, they all had some doubts, but they were all secretive masters, and they all had doubts in their hearts.
, but no one wanted to say anything more about this. They all sat in their respective positions like old monks in trance, silently waiting for Liu Xiaoquan's arrival.
At the time of the official sign, as soon as the third drum beat ended, a flurry of announcements came from outside the White Tiger Hall: "The Governor has arrived!" The three masters of the family who had already taken their seats stood up hurriedly, paying attention to the hall.
From the direction of the entrance, one could see several black-armored guards carrying Liu Xiaoquan, who was half lying and half sitting on the bed, into the hall. They were followed by Xiao Wei and Liu Zhenxiong on the left and right.
Liu Zhenying, who was dealing with trivial matters in the Governor's Mansion, and the three masters couldn't help but be slightly startled when they saw this, but their subsequent reactions were different - Shi Wansheng and Zhang Kaize exchanged glances quickly, with "
There was a suspicious look on his face, while Wang Yue curled up the corner of his mouth, smiled, and gave Xiao Wei a meaningful look.
"See the Grand Governor!" Although the three masters had different thoughts, this was not a time for private discussion. When Liu Xiaoquan's bed was placed on the big seat in front of the hall, the three masters each bowed and clasped their fists.
He bowed.
Liu Xiao glanced at the three masters with a solemn look, raised his hand and said: "No, please sit down. I invite you all to come here today. There are some important things that have to be discussed. Everyone knows that the Black Bone Sect a few days ago
That's enough of the bandits' attack on Yanxi. If it hadn't been for the young prince's command and determination, our Yanxi would have been catastrophic. This is a great humiliation for our Yanxi and should not be taken lightly. What do you think of this?"
Nearly ten days have passed since the incident in Beidawa. Rumors in Jinchang City have already begun, but the Governor's Office has never expressed its position on the matter. The Shi and Zhang families had originally reached a consensus on this matter.
They planned to use this matter to put pressure on the Governor, but they had not yet started to take action. Seeing Liu Xiaoquan take the initiative to bring it up, Shi and Zhang quickly exchanged glances, and Zhang Kaize took the lead and said: "Mr. Liu said it
Okay, the Black Bone Sect bandits dare to go deep into our Yanxi hinterland and commit evil acts of assassination. They should be punished. Not only the Black Bone Sect should be destroyed, but also those who collude with the Black Bone Sect must not be let go. Yi Mou
It seems that if there was no internal response to this matter, how could the Black Bone Sect be so rampant? If we want to destroy the Black Bone Sect, we must first eliminate the internal troubles, and I hope Duke Liu will make a decision soon."
"Yes, Mr. Zhang's words are reasonable. It has been a long time since the Zheng family colluded with the Black Bone Sect, and now they have committed such an ugly act. It is obvious that they have betrayed me, Yanxi, and the nine tribes must be destroyed!" As soon as Zhang Kaize finished speaking, Shi Wan
Some of Sheng couldn't wait to echo his words, pointing the finger at the Zheng family in Gaochang.
"Hmm." Liu Xiao nodded noncommittally. He was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he turned his head to look at Wang Yue, who was silent. He pondered and asked, "Brother Wang, what do you mean?"
"Wang is at the disposal of the Governor." Wang Yue did not express his attitude, but responded vaguely.
"Well, since history, Duke Zhang proposed to annihilate the Black Bone Sect, this matter has been settled. Tell me in all the cities in Yanxi that anyone who secretly associates with the Black Bone Sect will be guilty of the same crime. All states will mobilize troops to prepare to quell the 'rebellion'!"
Upon hearing what Wang Yue said, Liu Xiaoquan no longer hesitated, waved his hand suddenly, and made his decision in an unquestionable tone.
"The Commander-in-Chief is wise." As soon as Liu Xiaoquan finished speaking, a hint of excitement flashed across Shi Wansheng's face, and he quickly stood up and said: "This battle is of great importance, and it must be led by a wise and brave general to guard Suzhou.
Zhang Kaiming's army was defeated by others, so I thought that if he became the commander-in-chief of the army, he would definitely win a complete victory!"
"Although Kai Ming is brave, a fierce battle is unavoidable, and we must guard against Tibet. There are changes in the two Turkic places, and it takes more than one person to take care of them. A certain person proposed that Shi Wannian, the garrison of Shazhou, be the deputy commander, divide his troops and attack, and quickly break through the army.
Bones are the most important thing." As soon as Shi Wansheng finished speaking, Zhang Kaize immediately reciprocated and proposed the candidate for deputy commander. After singing and singing together, they cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding.
Zhang Kaiming is Zhang Kaize's second brother, and Shi Wannian is Shi Wansheng's third brother. Both of them are governors of a state, and they both hold considerable military power. This proposal by the two family heads Shi and Zhang is clear
Even if he wants to seize power, he is not afraid of Liu Xiaoquan's opposition - according to the old rules of Yanxi affairs, all major issues must be decided by the five aristocratic families. Now that the Zheng family has been put on the opposite side, it is naturally impossible for them to still have a say. Calculated in this way,
Only four families have the right to vote. Shi and Zhang Yi joined forces and already accounted for half of the votes. They are in an invincible position. As for the Wang family, they have never been too involved in military matters. Even Liu Xiaoquan opposed it.
That's also a two to one chance of winning.
"Brother Wang, what do you mean?" Liu Xiao didn't pay attention to the suggestions of the Shi and Zhang families, but frowned slightly and looked at the calm Wang Yue, and asked tentatively.
"It's easy to mobilize soldiers and horses, but where will the food and fodder come from? I wonder if Mr. Liu has any conclusions?" Wang Yue asked with a calm face.
"Your Majesty, the Observer's Office has always been in charge of this food and crops. It's hard to think of such a trivial matter. Mr. Zhang, what do you think?" Before Liu Xiaoquan opened his mouth, Shi Wansheng shouted haha.
"Yes, the prince is smart, and the food and fodder required by the army are probably all prepared, so we can rest assured." Zhang Kaize naturally started to fight after hearing this.[
"Brother Wang, how much grain does the observation mission have now?" Liu Xiao ignored Shi and Zhang's words, looked at Wang Yue cautiously, and asked.
"So that the Grand Governor can know that the observation envoy still has four thousand dan of grain, three thousand cattle, and sixty thousand sheep. This can only guarantee my daily expenses in Yanxi, and the other grain and fodder can be adjusted." Wang Yue replied unhurriedly.
.
Liu Xiaoquan nodded thoughtfully, turned to look at Shi and Zhang and said: "Well, this is tricky. Since Zhang Gong, Shi Gong, and you two proposed a large army to go on an expedition, I thought there was a way to raise food, so let's get one
I’ve got an idea.”
The Shi and Zhang families are both wealthy families in Yanxi. Although there have been natural disasters in Yanxi in recent years, there is no risk of food shortage in their families. However, it is obviously impossible for the two families to collect the food for the army.
"Sex", when Liu Xiaoquan kicked the problem to his feet, both of them were a little dumbfounded. They were speechless for a while, and Liu and Wang did not continue to ask questions, but just watched silently.
The two family heads, Shi and Zhang, looked like they were waiting for them to make up their minds, which made Shi and Zhang feel uncomfortable.
"Mr. Liu is joking. How can I know what the situation at home is like? Mr. Liu doesn't know about this matter of food and crops. Haha, it really depends on Mr. Liu to make a decision." Zhang Kaize saw that remaining silent was not an option, so he had no choice but to be shameless.
Once again, the right to speak was given to Liu Xiaoquan.
"This is difficult. How can we defeat thieves if it's food?" Liu Xiaoquan frowned tightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Come on, it's our turn to come on stage! Xiao Wei watched everyone's every move with cold eyes. At this time, he had almost finished singing the show, so he knew it was his turn to come on stage, so he stood up from the side with a smile.
, bowed to everyone and said: "Grandpa, gentlemen, the Black Bone Sect is a serious problem for Yanxi, and we must get rid of it quickly. Now that the army is about to be launched, it is trapped in food and fodder. It is really disappointing, little one."
Wang Bucai may be able to solve this problem."
As soon as Xiao Wei said this, the eyes of everyone in the room lit up. They all looked at Xiao Wei, but no one was in a hurry to ask for details. Their expressions were completely different...
