Chapter 402: The centrists serve the frightened old-fashioned
Compared with the ultimate defensive force that appeared in Xingchen Leader, the Yuan family's approach is even more elusive. He has clearly gotten out of the predicament, so why do he still attack Xingchen Leader?
"The Yuan family is simply seeking death if they do this. Xingchen leads tens of thousands of people, and they cannot kill them all. In other words, even if they succeed this time, they cannot hide it!" Feng Xuanzhang spoke first.
"Even if it can be concealed, the Yuan family is the first to be suspected! Their hatred with Jiang Xingchen is too great!" The old marquis also thought so.
The marshal frowned and said, "Are they crazy? Going to do such a thing? Is it because of the food cultivation that the conservatives can't bear it anymore?"
The old marquis shook his head: "No! If the Yuan family did not resolve the crisis, the grain planting matter would be suppressed this time. In order to obtain the full help of other conservative schools, he might take risks... But if the crisis is resolved, it would be incomprehensible that he still did this. There is no other explanation except for his broken brain."
The emperor gently tapped the table and said lightly: "As a top family, Yuan Xixuan is the chief officer of the aristocratic management department. Maybe they are fools... You should have seen the suspicion of Dingbei Hou?"
The marshal said: "Look, he suspected that the Yuan family had colluded with outsiders... Otherwise, there would be no explanation for the thousands of heavily armored cavalry, and there were more than a dozen vital masters!"
Feng Xuanzhang thought about it and said a different idea: "If you collude with outsiders, they should not show up. It is enough to provide cover for outsiders. There is no need to do it yourself."
The old marquis said: "But beyond that, there is really no way to explain those heavy armored cavalry and vital masters!"
After analyzing this, everyone fell into silence again and looked at Emperor Qiankun.
The emperor was also silent, without saying a word, frowned, and carefully analyzed the incident...
I don’t know how long it took, suddenly the footsteps outside the hall sounded, and a man in black ran to the door of the hall, knelt on one knee, and shouted: “Your Majesty, Old Marquis Jin He is looking for a meeting outside!”
"Huh?" Several people in the hall looked up at the same time, looking at each other, and all showed doubts: "Why is this old man here? In terms of qualifications, he is older than the Minister of Finance and Tang Tian. He is almost over 110 years old and has not been careless for decades. He is spending his days at home every day!"
"Please!" The emperor was slightly stunned, immediately stood up and greeted him in person.
The Marshal, the Old Marquis, and Feng Xuanzhang also stood up. Although Mr. Jin didn't care about anything. His title was not top, his qualifications were very old. He was also a representative figure of the centrist.
Soon, a few people helped an old man into the hall.
"Mr. Jin, why are you so leisurely today?" The emperor led Mr. Jin to a huge chair.
However, Mr. Jin did not sit down immediately, but took out a piece of white silk from his arms and handed it to the emperor.
"The reason I rushed over was because Qian Liang sent me an urgent letter of 100,000 yuan." Mr. Jin explained.
"Qian Liang!" The emperor frowned. He really lacked a good impression of Qian Liang. He was obviously a centrist, but he had been involved with Yuan Xixuan and had been fighting with Jiang Xingchen several times.
The three marshals behind also looked at each other, not understanding why Mr. Jin mentioned Qian Liang. He didn't know whether Qian Liang and Jiang Xingchen were mortal enemies.
The emperor did not continue to answer, but asked Mr. Jin to sit down. Then he opened Bai Juan and watched carefully.
"What?" Seeing Bai Juan's content, the emperor frowned suddenly.
When the marshals and the other two saw it, they hurriedly came forward, looked at Bai Juan, and immediately exclaimed. No matter how they suspected that the Yuan family had colluded with outsiders, they could not believe that they had betrayed the empire and defected to Xuanyuan Tianzong.
"This letter was found in the hotel where Yuan Xixuan lives..." Mr. Jin's breath was a little weak. He explained slowly: "Yuan Xixuan went to Hongyuan City and did not inform Qian Liang. It was Qian Liang who found his traces. He saw that he had left for three days and had not returned, so he went to the hotel to check. Unexpectedly, he discovered this..."
The emperor put down the white silk in his hand, exhaled a long breath, and whispered: "I said why the Yuan family attacked Xingchenling? It turns out that the problem lies here..."
The marshal pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Why did the Yuan family solve the crisis so simply? I'm afraid that Xuanyuan Tianzong will help you! What is it to be a lie to find the Yuanshi Mine in the Haomiao Mountains... Otherwise, it was so coincidental that someone immediately found the Yuanshi Mine as soon as their Yuan family took action."
The old marquis said, "The Yuan family betrayed the empire and surrendered to Xuanyuan Tianzong. It should be this Yuanshi ore vein that played a role!"
Feng Xuanzhang frowned and suddenly asked, "But this makes sense. Why did the Yuan family betray the empire and show up while attacking the Xingchen Corps? Wouldn't it be better to hide it?"
After these words, everyone was silent again, and Feng Xuanzhang was indeed reasonable.
At this time, Mr. Jin spoke: "Emperor, Marshal, do you think this letter is a bit strange?"
"Oh? Mr. Jin, why do you say it..." Several people said in unison.
Mr. Jin took a breath and said, "This letter is too obvious, it gives me the feeling that someone deliberately left it for people to see!"
"Yes!" The emperor and the others frowned. Even if Yuan Xixuan didn't carry such an important thing in close proximity, he should have put it in a very secret way. Why did Qian Liang see it so easily...
Mr. Jin looked at the emperor and the others and said, "I can't think of it as a frame-up or some other reason... But it was mentioned here that they wanted to attack Xingchen Leader, but they had to be careful! The emperor would like to notify..."
The Marshal said: "Mr. Jin, in fact, they have already attacked Xingchen Leader. There are a total of 1,000 heavy armored knights, including Yuan Xixuan and more than a dozen masters in the realm of vitality... but they failed! The entire army has been destroyed!"
"Ah~" It was Mr. Jin's turn to be stunned at this moment. He hadn't received any other news from Qian Liang. It's not surprising that Xuanyuan Tianzong had already taken action. After all, Qian Liang discovered this letter three days later. But so many masters were destroyed, which is... so scary! What exactly does Xingchen Leader have? Or what preparations did the Emperor make in advance...
After a while of silence, Mr. Jin suddenly changed his mind and said, "Emperor, I think Qian Liang has limited abilities and is not suitable to be a lord in Hongyuan City. It is more appropriate for him to be an adjutant of the imperial capital!"
Such a big jump made the Emperor unresponsive for a while. The Marshal and the others were even more puzzled. Why did Mr. Jin suddenly say this, what does it mean?
After thinking for a while, the emperor finally understood and nodded with a smile: "I will consider Mr. Jin's suggestion. Qian Liang found that Yuan Xixuan betrayed and immediately passed the news back, doing a very good job!"
The Emperor said this. The Marshal and others also understood that the taste was coming. Qian Liang was looking for Mr. Jin to come forward and wanted to draw a clear line with Yuan Xixuan. In the past, they were involved in dealing with Jiang Xingchen. Now they saw the Yuan family betrayal, and they were afraid of being implicated!
In addition, as the most senior figure in the centrist, Mr. Jin said that he gave up the Star Corps, even if he expressed his attitude... We surrendered and fully supported the emperor in the future. We must not leave the matter of grain seeds behind us...
Mr. Jin achieved his goal and said goodbye and left. After leaving the palace, he couldn't help but sigh. He was neutral and finally turned to the emperor. Everyone's interests depend on the emperor's distribution in the future.
In the palace hall, the Emperor and the Marshal were both very happy, and the centrists finally surrendered, which shows that the Emperor had achieved a decisive victory.
Not only that, the Yuan family betrayed and the conservatives are also to blame. If they pursue it deeply, they will probably not be able to cause trouble in the future.
As for the little doubts before, it is not worth mentioning at all. Anyway, the people sent by the Yuan family and Xuanyuantian Sect have been completely destroyed by Xingchen Leadership. No matter why the Yuan family appears, why is the letter placed on the surface?
"Hahahaha... This kid Jiang Xingchen is really amazing. He is the right one!" The emperor couldn't help laughing proudly. The effect achieved by Jiang Xingchen's series of arrangements was really great.
The marshal nodded repeatedly: "This kid should really come to the military headquarters for a long time. This time he really planned and won thousands of miles away. Every step was arranged!"
Feng Xuanzhang smiled and said, "Master Marshal. Don't think about it. That kid is not willing to fight at all... I think he should come to the Imperial Academy. He can do so many things, and it would be a pity not to teach the spread!"
The marshal said unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense, don't you see if that kid is a teaching material, or come to the military headquarters. Xuanyuan Tianzong suffered huge losses this time, so we happened to take advantage of this opportunity to plan some counterattacks..."
"Don't fight with you two, it's useless. That kid wants to develop the territory peacefully!" The old marquis spoke.
The emperor smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Marson, we are preparing to seize the Yuan family and mobilize the Imperial Guards to carry out secrets... In addition, it is said that the Fang family, Chen family, Liu family... several heads of the family come to see me!"
Speaking of the serious matter, the Marshal and Feng Xuanzhang stopped arguing, looked at each other, responded, turned around and left...
Late that night, tens of thousands of imperial guards quietly surrounded the Yuan family, and the marshal personally entered, and hundreds of Yuan family members, including Yuan Hao, were taken away.
At the same time, more than a dozen conservative heads of the Fang family, Liu family, Chen family, etc., bowed and stood in the palace hall, looking at the two white silks sent by Dingbei Hou and Qian Liang, their faces turned pale and sweating like rain. Several of them were shaking their legs.
They are really frightened now, and they scolded the Yuan family in their hearts. What a great crime to betray the empire. What a great sin? The Yuan family is trying to seek death, and they have implicated us. They actually want to massacre tourists from Xingchen. If you succeed, the conservative forces will definitely become the public enemy of the entire empire. Those families with dead children do not care whether we are innocent or not.
"Emperor! This is the Yuan family's own behavior and has nothing to do with us!"
"Emperor, we really don't know anything about the Yuan family doing these things!"
"Emperor, the Yuan family committed such a serious crime, and the whole family should be executed..."
These families are busy drawing a line with the Yuan family, fearing that they will be implicated.
The Emperor, Marshal, Feng Xuanzhang, and the old marquis looked at the noisy dozen family heads and couldn't help but smile.
But at this moment, a head of the family suddenly said something, and the smiles on the faces of the emperor and the others disappeared in an instant!
