Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

But who made this matter involve the Song family and Song Qian, the perfect grandmaster?

Normally, every family has its own rules, every country has its own laws, and the imperial court has its own laws. Even if the emperor wants to kill someone, he has to find a suitable reason to do so.

Otherwise, if people were to punish without teaching and kill anyone they wanted, people would lose their morale and the court laws would become meaningless, and the Great Zhou would be on the verge of collapse.

Even a grandmaster cannot be lawless and trample on the laws of the Great Zhou so blatantly and unscrupulously.

After all, you are not the only grandmaster in the Great Zhou. It is normal for grandmasters to be wary of and restrain each other.

But it just so happens that the person involved in today's incident is a perfect grandmaster!

If there is someone in this world who can transcend the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and trample on the rules of all human dynasties, then only Grandmaster Wuque can do it!

The Grand Master upholds the rules and acts within the framework of the Great Zhou Dynasty, at least on the surface.

And Grand Master Wuque makes the rules!

If the court's rules have an adverse impact on Grand Master Wuque, then I'm sorry, you have to change them!

It is now clear that Victoria Song is unhappy with the Zhang family. She is even too lazy to charge you with any crime. She just wants to surround your Zhang family and make you uncomfortable bit by bit. This is not in compliance with the law, but it is very reasonable.

Between the laws of the Great Zhou and the reputation of Grand Master Wuque, all the civil and military officials in the court knew very well that the latter was naturally the one they could not afford to offend.

At this time, just keep silent and say nothing, wait and see the results, be careful in what you say and do, this is the ethics that a qualified official in the imperial capital should have.

If Victoria Song destroyed the Zhang family, it would actually be easier to deal with. Everyone would just have to raise their hands and cheer.

Shouting "The Mandate of Heaven cannot be insulted," and "The Zhang family blasphemed the Mandate of Heaven, and they deserve this disaster!"

The difficult thing now is that the Xuanyi Guards only surrounded the Zhang family and killed some people, but they have no intention of rushing in to arrest people.

Therefore, this is the main reason why all the civil and military officials in the court feel that the situation is difficult.

They couldn't figure out what the Grand Master of Destiny was thinking.

If I express my opinion rashly now and it doesn't suit the other party's wishes, or if I flatter the wrong person, I could be in trouble!

Chapter 504: There’s no hope, it’s death!

This was the most interesting morning court session Ji Xuanfeng had ever had since he ascended the throne.

At this morning court session, a chief official fell to the ground and fainted, and two officials were suffering from tuberculosis and were coughing constantly, even coughing up blood and unable to speak.

Another person asked for leave on the spot, saying that his wife was bleeding heavily during childbirth and he wanted to go home to see his wife for the last time.

In this regard, Ji Xuanfeng was very considerate and granted them vacation time. He even comforted them not to have any psychological burden. Those who needed to treat their illnesses could treat their illnesses, and those who needed to take care of their families could take care of their families. Someone would arrange their official duties for them.

In the end, nothing was discussed in the court regarding the incident of the black-clad guards surrounding the Zhang family.

In fact, there is no result, this is the result.

It is obvious that all the civil and military officials in the court, including some officials who have good relations with the Zhang family, have given up on the Zhang family.

The opponent is too strong, so strong that it makes people despair.

The Grand Master Tianming Wuque has reached the pinnacle of humanity. This is the first time he has killed a chicken to scare the monkeys. Since he has chosen your Zhang family, then you should just accept it obediently.

Who told you, the Zhang family, are so blind? You have been living a comfortable life for too long, and you have to use someone else's brother-in-law to set up a trap, just to disgust him for a while.

This also served as a reminder to all the civil and military officials in the court that being overly cautious in the court was no longer enough. If they wanted to live a good life, the most important thing was to avoid any troublemakers at home.

It is not scary to have a god-like Grand Master Wuque above your head. After all, in his eyes, you are no different from an ant. How could a god have nothing to do and pay attention to a group of ants all day long?

But if you have a bad teammate at home, that would be terrible.

For example, Zhang Xun, the second son of the Zhang family, can send his entire family to the crematorium in just a few minutes!

.....

After the morning court session, Ji Xuanfeng returned to his bedroom in a good mood and changed into casual clothes.

I'm in a good mood today and plan to go for a walk outside the palace.

I was busy practicing before, but now there is no need to practice so hard. I can relax for a while.

I don’t know if Song Xuan has time, I’ll go back and call him to go to the brothel to listen to music together. I heard that this guy has the nickname of the Little Prince of Brothel, he is definitely a veteran.

Since my identity is not convenient, it would be best to have an experienced person to guide me when going to such places.

After the court session, all the civil and military officials left the palace. Soon, many people gathered around the chief minister Wang Yan.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, Wang Yan is considered the spokesperson for an old and powerful family.

Although Ji Xuanfeng was strong and decisive, he did not directly carry out a large-scale purge in the court. The chief minister of the cabinet, Wang Yan, was relatively obedient. With him around, the steady transfer of power in the court could be guaranteed.

"My Lord, do you think the Zhang family can still be saved?" an official asked in a low voice.

Wang Yan shook his head slightly, "I can't save you, just wait to die!"

"what?"

Someone hesitated, "Looking at the Xuanyi Guards' methods, they seem to be milder than before. The Zhang family might have to pay a price, but it won't be a death sentence, right?"

Wang Yan shook his head. "The Xuanyi Guards are gentle? This is the most troublesome thing!

If they presented evidence of guilt, the Zhang family would be arrested or killed, and the Zhang family might suffer heavy casualties, but as long as they had not committed treason, at least the family line could be preserved.

But now, the Xuanyi Guards are boiling a frog in warm water, applying pressure little by little to force the ancestor of the Zhang family to show up.

The one from the Zhang family is very careful about his life, so it is unlikely that he will show up.

Song Xuan's goal was simple: if the Zhang family's ancestor survived, the Zhang family would be destroyed. If the Zhang family survived, the Zhang family's ancestor would have to show up and compromise.

If the Zhang family's ancestor doesn't come out, Song Xuan won't achieve his goal, and how could he leave the Zhang family a way out? "

Upon hearing this, someone worriedly said, "The situation in the court is becoming increasingly unclear. If the Zhang family is destroyed, will we be next?"

He sighed, "You are different from the Zhang family. You don't have a Grandmaster in your family who is worthy of the Xuanyi Guards' special attention.

The Emperor's will to reform is firm, and no one can sway it. You should all do your part honestly and cooperate with the Emperor's pace of reform. You do not seek promotion, but rather a peaceful retirement from your position, leaving a legacy for your descendants."

He paused and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, money is external to the body, and the land will be nationalized. This is the will of His Majesty and the will of the Xuanyi Guards. No one can stop it!

It's up to you whether you want land or your life."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what was going on.

The Prime Minister of the Cabinet said this, and it is likely that he has already discussed this with Your Majesty.

As long as you behave yourself and don't go against the new policy, although your interests will be damaged, you can still protect your family.

...

On the other side, many officials gathered around Minister Lin Ruhai.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Wang Yan, is a representative of the old aristocratic families, while Lin Ruhai is a representative of the emerging powerful families.

These people emerged from the imperial examinations. Although they had some industries, their wealth was far from comparable to those of the old powerful families.

Therefore, when the emperor implemented new policies, they were the most supportive group.

They didn't have much land to begin with, so they didn't feel bad about giving it away.

Compared with the official career, what does some land count for?

"Master Lin, I don't quite understand."

An official in his thirties wondered, "With the Xuanyi Guard's current strength, and with Grandmaster Wuque's approval, they could easily crush the Zhang family. Why bother with the siege?"

Lin Ruhai smiled elegantly, "After you passed the imperial examination and became officials, you may not be familiar with the details of the Zhang family.

This Zhang family has an ancestor who is a grandmaster!

Generally speaking, martial arts masters do not dare to confront the imperial court, but when they reach the level of grandmaster, they are qualified to negotiate with the imperial court.

The Xuanyi Guards' goal is not just the Zhang family, but the ancestor behind them."

"I see!"

The young official suddenly realized, "Although I'm not proficient in martial arts, I know how powerful a Grandmaster is. So, the Black Guards are boiling the frog in warm water, constantly applying pressure to buy the Zhang family and the ancestor time to make a decision?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and smiled, "Although there are some things I can't tell you yet, it doesn't matter. We just need to do what we should do.

Starting tomorrow, the Censorate will gradually begin impeaching the Zhang family and its faction members, and will cooperate with the Xuanyi Guard to gradually increase the intensity."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a man on horseback came from a distance. With a whoosh, the man dressed as a guard walked over quickly.

"Lord, there is the latest news."

"The Zhang family seems to have found out what happened in the court today through some channels. They think they have no way out and seem to be throwing in the towel!"

Lin Ruhai laughed heartily, "What's going on? Could it be that the Zhang family has some undiscovered expert who can go head-to-head with the Xuanyi Guards?"

"Not really!"

The guard lowered his voice and said, "I have heard that the managers of the Zhang family outside the city are inciting the tenants to riot, saying that the Xuanyi Guards want to seize their land and deprive them of the right to farm.

The Zhang family is a large clan with a history of hundreds of years. There are tens of thousands of tenants cultivating the Zhang family's land around the imperial capital alone. With so many people, even if we can mobilize some of them, it will definitely be a significant number."

A sneer appeared on Lin Ruhai's lips. "Are you trying to use public opinion to force the Xuanyi Guards to back down?"

"It seems Zhang Yuan is really desperate and has completely lost his mind!"

Chapter 505: I’m almost there, and I’ll be the eldest lady of the Lu family!

The next morning.

Outside the Zhang family mansion, a throne was placed in the middle of the street, facing the blood-stained gate of the Zhang family.

The crooked-mouthed dragon king Lu Xiaoliu was sitting on the armchair with a relaxed look on his face.

"Brother Lu..."

Sun Qiaoqiao looked a little haggard. Lu Xiaoliu had no intention of killing her. He even let her go home to rest last night, but he sent someone to bring her here early in the morning.

It can be predicted that she will have to endure this endless torment for a long time to come.

"Brother Lu, please stop. This is the imperial capital after all!"

She was really scared. She had never imagined that the imperial capital was such a dangerous and terrifying place. Just because of her wrong choice, such a terrible power clash would break out.

Many people died yesterday. If it continued, the court would be furious. She didn't know whether Lu Xiaoliu would be in trouble, but as the fuse, she would definitely die.

Her father might be implicated as well!

"Imperial capital, so what?"

Lu Xiaoliu sneered, "If I, Lu Xiaoliu, want to kill someone, who in the imperial capital can stop me?"

His tone was flat, but combined with the effect of Xiaoliu's crooked mouth and the massive army of Xuanyiwei behind him, he seemed extremely domineering.

Sun Qiaoqiao looked at him in a daze.

At this moment, she felt extremely regretful and her heart ached. If she had known that Lu Xiaoliu was so powerful, why would she still care about the Zhang family?

She clenched her fists in her sleeves with some heartache. She was just a little bit away, just a little bit away from becoming the eldest lady of the Lu family. Really just a little bit away!

If she had been more resolute and hadn't had so many messy thoughts, she and Xiaoliu would have already started discussing marriage.

What a pity...

Lu Xiaoliu glanced at her, staring at her regretful and fearful face, and couldn't help feeling a little funny.

This woman is so cheap!

When I treated you like a baby, you treated me like a dog, always looking at the pot while having the food in the bowl.

Now I'm ordering you around like garbage, and all you can see is me.

The more Lu Xiaoliu thought about it, the more he felt that he was such a fool back then.

It's something that is clearly within your reach, but you insist on being pretentious and pretending to be sincere. You deserve to be called a bootlicker by your brother-in-law and Victoria Song.

Behind Lu Xiaoliu were two captains from the Law Enforcement Department. One of them leaned forward and said, "Sir Inspector, last night the Zhang family instigated the tenants outside the city to riot, and they've already entered the city!"

"Oh?" Lu Xiaoliu said with a smile, "The general guarding the city gate is from the Zhang family?"

"He's the son-in-law of the Zhang family!"

Lu Xiaoliu nodded slightly, "It is said that a son-in-law is half his son. Although the son-in-law of the Zhang family is a little stupid, he still has some backbone when he helps his relatives instead of others at the critical moment.

I do have some admiration for people like this; they're better than fence-sitters. I'll leave them with an intact body!"
