Sheng Fu

Chapter 983 The Gap Between the Old and the New

The next day, early in the morning.

Last night has passed, and the voice of public opinion has become increasingly louder as expected, and is showing signs of spreading like wildfire.

In the study of His Royal Highness the Northern King.

Helian Xiong and other family elders were all present.

Before breakfast started, all the important members of the family had arrived, and Helian Xiong and others felt a little heavy in their hearts.

Even when he teamed up with Yuwen Jun to build defensive fortifications along the coastline, he had never gotten up so early.

They also discovered that Fu Cheng's aura was very steady, neither arrogant nor impatient, like an experienced assassin.

Their intuition told them that the young prince was about to make an important decision.

"I have decided to promote the new policy. What do you think?" Fu Cheng said to everyone with a gentle and firm gaze.

Helian Xiong and others were shocked when they heard this.

The new policy covers too many areas.

If Fu Cheng takes the lead in promoting the new policy, he will inevitably be ostracized by other families, and even the severely damaged Helian family will be eliminated from the northern land.

"Why?" Helian Xiong asked solemnly.

Today, the Helian family can still rely on the reputation of the Northern King to make friends with other aristocratic families, absorb nutrients imperceptibly in some small things, and slowly expand the power of the Helian family.

But once this decision is made, it is equivalent to standing in opposition to all the bigwigs in the north.

This is how aristocratic families are: the imperial court can collapse, but the family tradition cannot be cut off.

When the elders behind Helian Xiong heard this decision, they were filled with anger, and some of them even stared at Fu Cheng with hatred in their eyes.

At this point, the so-called ideals in life are nothing but empty talk.

How to ensure that one's own interests can last for thousands of years is the top priority.

"People with bad backgrounds always have some bizarre ideas." An elder scolded Fu Cheng without any politeness.

Helian Qingyi glared at the elder when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "He is the Northern King and the current leader of our Helian Family. Third Master has lost his composure!"

Some ideas are deeply rooted.

Even though Fu Cheng saved this ancient family after the decline of the Helian family and made the family show signs of recovery, in the hearts of the older generation, Fu Cheng will always be a son-in-law with a poor background.

So what if it’s just one of the eight looks?
What about the King of the North?
They are nothing but empty names.

Of course, if Fu Cheng was now an extremely powerful person, these elders would naturally follow Fu Cheng's lead.

Many things in the world are extremely old-fashioned.

Helian Qingyi was about to continue to support Fu Cheng, but Fu Cheng smiled and waved his hand, saying to the elders in a gentle manner: "I know I can't convince you."

"Today we are not talking about positions, but only about interests."

"May I ask you all, can the current northern noble families withstand the suppression of the Hengchang Sect, or the intimidation of Lord Bai Xiaowei?"

"In the southern territory, Xie Yiming tacitly agreed to the implementation of the new policy, so some people went to the gate of the Xu family to bring trouble to Mr. Xu. In our northern territory, Lord Bai Xiaowei never expressed his opinion."

"Don't you understand the article here?"

"The implementation of the new policy was deliberately done by someone. This person may be Yu Wenjun, or maybe not."

"But judging from the signs, His Majesty has also acquiesced to this behavior." "To the outside, the human army is not weak, and it has the support of Hengchang soldiers and the dragon clan."

"Internally, the work-for-relief program has just ended, and many internal affairs will naturally be sorted out in detail."

"As far as the situation is concerned, the implementation of the new policy is a foregone conclusion."

"I know what you are worried about and afraid of, but history is like this. Many contradictions and resources, when chaos reaches a certain level, everything will be torn down and started all over again."

"As far as I know, there is another completely fair Chaohua Trial starting in the Divine Realm."

"And the Sima family and the Sun family of the Divine Realm also died on the battlefields of Taicang City and Frost Moon City under the coercion of the Divine Emperor. Don't you understand all this?"

"I am the King of the North, a King of the North without real power."

"But real power can only be won by oneself."

After hearing Fu Cheng's words, the elders of the Helian family still looked dismayed, not moved at all.

For the ancient aristocratic families, even if the sky falls, it can be fine as long as it does not affect their vested interests.

Although the Helian family no longer has the glory of the past, it still has many vested interests.

Seeing everyone's attitude, Helian Qingyi said bluntly: "The Xu family is powerful, so they withstood the public opinion that time, but the county magistrate's status is not noble, so the county magistrate died."

"A county governor may die in the first two days, and a provincial governor may die a few days later."

"Even before the new policy was announced, Sui Ting, the future leader of the North, accidentally died under Bai Xiaowei's sword."

"And you people only care about the immediate benefits. Do you have to wait until the butcher's knife is on your neck before you will think and realize something?"

Within the Helian family, Fu Cheng has the final say on ordinary matters.

But when it comes to important decisions, the family elders prefer Helian Qingyi.

This is the case with a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family. When he is useful, he is a family member; when he is useless, he is an outsider.

The elders were silent for a while. Yes, Sui Ting's death seemed to have happened just yesterday, and Yang Yu also had his left ear cut off by a sword. As Bai Xiaowei and Xie Yiming entered the Wuji realm, the situation in the court and in the northern and southern families was very different from before.

Yue Bo from the military was guided by His Majesty and completely refined the origin of the Heavenly Fire.

And among them, there was also the sudden rise of Yuwen Jun.

In contrast, the influence of the northern and southern families is becoming weaker and weaker.

"What kind of situation we want is actually not important at all. What's important is what kind of situation Your Majesty wants to see!" Helian Qingyi shouted to the elders with a solemn face.

After thinking it over, Helian Xiong still had no idea in his mind, so he said to Fu Chengyan: "But we can't publicize the new policy openly!"

"If the Northern King were to be the first to do so, I'm afraid our family would cease to exist tonight.

Fu Cheng smiled knowingly and said, "Of course I won't be so reckless. There are many people making trouble in the northern land right now, and there are all kinds of complaints."

"I will issue a royal decree to inform local authorities not to arbitrarily detain civilians."

"As long as there is no rebellion, there should be no large-scale prisons."

“If possible, make those grumbling voices a little louder.”

After hearing what Fu Cheng said, Helian Xiong's eyelids twitched. The various forces nowadays wanted to kill all those who complained, but Fu Cheng directly protected those who complained.

"I'm just telling you these things, but I won't let you directly participate in them." Fu Cheng suddenly changed the subject.
