Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Song Qian paused the saw in her hand and nodded, "That's right, Xiaoliu is my little brother, and hitting him in the face is like hitting me in the face.

You can ask the civil and military officials in the court, and if anyone has any objections, they can take responsibility for this matter on behalf of the Zhang family."

Ji Xuanfeng laughed heartily, "Okay, Miss Song has spoken, who in the whole court dares to say anything more?

Let's just watch the show. I'm also very curious, will the Zhang family's ancestor show up? "

Half an hour later, he patted the melon seed shells on his body, stood up and said, "Xiao Liu has killed the third wave, and the important figures of the Zhang family have not yet appeared. It seems that they are still waiting for the reaction of the court today.

Okay, you guys continue, I'm going to go to court first to see what the civil and military officials have to say."

.....

Dozens of corpses were lying on the street outside the Zhang family mansion.

Lu Xiaoliu would not tolerate anyone who wanted to leave the Zhang family and refused to surrender, and would directly order them to be killed.

He knew very well why his brother-in-law asked him to be the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King.

Today, he would kill the Zhang family bit by bit until they were desperate and collapsed, until he could force the grandmaster out.

As for what happens after being forced out, that is his brother-in-law's business and he doesn't need to worry about it.

Before the Grandmaster of the Zhang family came out, Lu Xiaoliu just had to act like the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King and enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.

Looking around, quite a few people had already gathered around the streets. The people of the imperial capital were much braver than those from other places. They knew that the Xuanyi Guards were chopping people, but as long as the knife was not on their necks, it did not affect their mood to watch the show at all.

"The one leading the group is Xiaoliu, right? He looks like Xiaoliu to me."

"It's Xiaoliu. He often comes to my stall to drink spicy soup. How could I be wrong?"

"Xiao Liu is good, he has been able to do it since he was young. I knew he had a promising future since he was young. Look, isn't he a high-ranking official in the Xuanyi Guard now?"

"It seems he's a high-ranking official. Looking at this, he must have mobilized several thousand Xuanyi Guards, right?"

"A wealthy family like the Zhang family wouldn't dare to say a word when their door is blocked. It's only our Xiaoliu who is capable!"

"I haven't seen Xuan'er and his sister much in the past few years. I don't know where they went. Without them, my candied haws sales have slowed down."

When the people around were talking, suddenly there were bursts of pleasant female voices.

"Mr. Lu, look here, look here!"

"I'm Chuntao from Hongxiufang. Master Lu hasn't come to listen to music with me for a while. Are you tired of your sister?"

"Mr. Lu, look at me. Ever since we left Cuiyun Pavilion, my young lady has been thinking about you day and night. When you are free, I..."

"Where did this vixen come from? She's just a prostitute, and she dares to think about my Lu Lang?"

A woman from an official family, holding a round fan in her hand, kept waving her sleeves in the direction of Lu Xiaoliu, "Lu Lang, I'm Xiuxiu. We used to play with sand when we were little, and you said you would build a wedding house for me!

It's been so long, when will you come to marry me?"

Lu Xiaoliu, the crooked-mouthed dragon king, felt the smile on his face become a little stiff.

He was clearly here to kill people, but why did it feel like he was at a large-scale blind date?

A lot of people died on the ground, and you are not afraid at all!

Sun Qiaoqiao's chest heaved as she looked at those beautiful girls angrily.

Mine, Xiaoliu is mine!

Even if I don't have a chance, I won't give him to you!

"Hey, who is this woman? Her cheeks are puffy. Is she some toad spirit?"

"I know this woman was flirting with Lu Lang while hooking up with the young master of the Zhang family. Unfortunately, she wasn't very capable and had a car accident outside the city yesterday!"

"No wonder Master Lu hasn't come to listen to music with me for a while. It seems he's been tricked by this little bitch!"

"She's a beauty who brings disaster, but she's a toad who's become a spirit. Ugh, disgusting!"

Calling her a toad on the left and a little bitch on the right, the girls in the imperial capital were really good at fighting. In just a short time of a cup of tea, Sun Qiaoqiao was ruined.

Yesterday, only a small number of people outside the city knew about this matter, but today, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the glorious story of Sun Qiaoqiao, the daughter of the Ping'an County Magistrate, cheating on her husband with two women at the same time became known.

When a courtesan from Hongxiufang learned the whole story, she was immediately shocked. "This woman is amazing! Even if others were eager to marry the eldest son of the Lu family, she would still despise him!"

"Mr. Lu has a mild temperament, but his brother-in-law, Brother Xuan, is no pushover. I heard that Mr. Song is now the commander of the Xuanyi Guards. Let's see how Sun Qiaoqiao ends up!"

Speaking of Brother Xuan, several brothel girls felt a little regretful.

"Ever since Brother Xuan got married, he hasn't come to listen to music. The sisters miss him a lot."

"Yes, several of our famous songs were originally composed by Brother Xuan. I never thought that so many years have passed."

"It's a pity that our appearance is not worthy of Master Song's attention. Otherwise, even if we become his concubines, at least we can have a good ending."

Song Xuan was eating a melon and watching a show. The melon was sent by Eunuch Cao. He didn't expect that he would eat the melon himself.

Song Qian, who was sawing wood, stopped what she was doing, pricked up her ears and looked curious.

"Brother, you are still the most charming. Even though you've been away for a few years, your legend is still circulating among the brothels and pleasure boats in the imperial capital.

Now everyone says that you are the most affectionate person in the capital!"

Song Xuan rolled his eyes, especially when he saw Li Mochou holding Xiaolongnu in the crowd, running around like a badger in a melon field looking for melons to eat, he was speechless.

He directed his deputy commander, Ji Xiao, "This public opinion has gone astray. You go and handle it and direct public opinion towards the Zhang family.

The Zhang family has been in such trouble that annihilating three clans would be the least of their worries!"

Ji Xiao's face was calm as he led a group of people out quickly. After walking out of the yamen, he couldn't help grinning.

The commander's gossip sounds very interesting.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, various versions of “The story that Young Master Song and I have to tell” will soon circulate in the imperial capital.

It’s a pity that the commander’s wife is not in the imperial capital, otherwise today would definitely be very interesting.

.....

Imperial Palace, Taiji Hall.

Today's grand court meeting was delayed by an hour because the emperor was eating melon in the Xuanyiwei.

With the eunuch Cao's words "If you have something to report, report it immediately; if not, leave the court", the grand court meeting began.

"I have this note!"

A senior official from the Ministry of Personnel stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, I have heard that a member of the Black Guard, jealous of a woman, has arbitrarily mobilized troops to besiege the residence of Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Personnel.

I don't know about this matter, does Your Majesty know about it?"

The Xuanyi Guards were nominally the emperor's private army and were not under the jurisdiction of other court departments. Even though such a big commotion had occurred today, the court officials had no other recourse but to petition the emperor and await his decision.

"I have heard a little about this!"

"I have met Song Xuan and Song Qian."

Ji Xuanfeng smiled faintly, "Song Qian said that the Zhang family doesn't give her face!"

"I wonder if Mr. Liu could explain in detail how the Zhang family offended Victoria Song?"

Manager Liu was stunned. He thought that the most difficult part of this matter was Song Xuan, so how did it get to Song Qian?

For a moment, he didn't dare to speak.

In the court, there was silence. All the civil and military officials exchanged glances with each other, and fear was in their eyes. No one dared to speak.

Ji Xuanfeng urged, "Speak up! Why are all of you hesitating so much that no one dares to speak?

Is it because you don’t like talking?”

Chapter 503 Rules? Grandmaster Wuque is the rules!

As the perfect master, Ji Xuanfeng can be regarded as the most powerful emperor since Taizu.

But even so, no matter how strong he is, there are always laws to govern the country. Even if he is invincible in military power, the things he arranges have to be done personally by the people below.

Therefore, it was very common to see verbal battles and expressions of opinions among civil and military officials in the morning court in the past. Sometimes, if what the emperor said involved the interests of the court officials, there would always be some officials who dared to stand up and argue with him.

This is the imperial court. Even if he is the emperor, he still has to give orders, right?

It is indeed rare to see a situation like today where all the civil and military officials in the court are hesitant and silent.

Even Lin Duidui, who is always a chatterbox, was unusually quiet today. There was no scene of randomly picking a lucky person to impeach.

"If you don't say anything, then I'll call your names!"

Ji Xuanfeng felt that today was particularly interesting. In the past, you were all eloquent and would not stop talking even when being beaten. But today, you all suddenly became silent. I actually miss your rebellious days.

"Come on, Mr. Qiao, tell me what you think!"

He looked around and named a person in charge who was timid and didn't dare to look up among the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The person in charge was stunned, and a feeling of panic ran through his mind.

There are at least eight hundred civil and military officials in this court. Your Majesty, why did you choose me when you couldn't choose anyone else?

Isn't this too unlucky?

Qiao Song swallowed his saliva and felt uneasy. You want me to say it, what should I say?

What does Song Qian’s face mean?

If he dared to say this, he would probably be dragged out to enjoy the perfect all-round enclosed experience of the Xuanyiwei Prison without even having to wait until the morning court was over, and he might even get a gift package for family reunion.

But you say the Zhang family deserves it?

Although he deserved it, how could a small boss like him say such a thing?

The Zhang family has a very complicated network of relationships in the imperial capital. There are dozens of families in the court who have marriage relations with the Zhang family. They also have people in the Ministry of Justice. If someone says something bad about the Zhang family in the court, the Zhang family members don’t have to do anything. It won’t be long before the Ministry of Justice will have a welcome guest.

They are all officials, so who doesn’t have some black material on them?

It's fine if everyone gets along well with each other on weekdays, but if they really want to mess with you, there are many ways to do it.

If the Ministry of Justice can’t deal with the Xuanyi Guards, how can it deal with you, a mere official of the Ministry of Rites?

Facing the gazes of all the civil and military officials in the court, Qiao Song became furious and gritted his teeth. He tripped over his left foot and fell headfirst to the ground with a thud.

In this neat and clean court, he completed a textbook-level fall on the ground, without any trace of performance, it was simply perfect.

Soon, a guard came forward to check and then reported back: "Your Majesty, Lord Qiao fell hard and needs immediate medical treatment."

To be honest, Ji Xuanfeng really admires Qiao Song.

The character who bangs his head against the floor when he gets angry is also a character.

He waved his hand and said with some regret, "Qiao Aiqing's luck is indeed a bit bad. Summon the imperial physician for consultation. It is imperative to ensure his life. As for official business, please coordinate with the Ministry of Rites."

He sighed softly and continued to look around. "Although something unexpected happened, we still need to continue discussing what happened just now."

This time, he chose a military general.

"Marquis Zhenyuan, please tell me what you think!"

Marquis Zhenyuan was an old man who looked to be about 67 years old. He was quite tall, but a little hunchbacked. When he was called by the emperor, his face froze and he really felt like he was screwed.

A noble like him usually went to court just to make himself known. It was never his turn to speak during court meetings. He had planned to just watch the fun, but he didn't expect that watching the show could also bring him trouble.

"Your Majesty, I am a military commander, not well-educated, and not good at speaking. How about we listen to the opinions of the civil officials?"

When he said this, the faces of all the civil servants changed and they subconsciously lowered their heads, fearing that they would meet the emperor's eyes.

Some people feel very uncomfortable.

When I was a child, I was afraid that the teacher would ask me to recite the passages, so I didn’t dare to look at the teacher.

I never thought that I would become an official and have made it to the core power level of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in the end, I still dare not look people in the eye.

Then I read this book in vain?

But then I thought, it’s useless to study, saving my life is more important, saving my life is more important!

At this time, even those who have a good relationship with the Zhang family would not dare to speak carelessly!

Lu Xiaoliu, a member of the Xuanyi Guard, mobilized a large army to surround the residence of an important official of the imperial court because he lost face due to jealousy of a woman. Is this in compliance with the law?

It would definitely be illegal for other government offices in the court to do this, but for the Xuanyi Guard to do this, how should I put it, it's actually not very illegal either.

No matter how powerful you, the Xuanyi Guard, are, if you want to take action against important officials of the court, you must give a reason, right?

Just for the sake of saving face, it's not something that can be said publicly!
