Chapter 32: Turmoil in the Imperial Court
Old Man Sun looked at Sun Xiang in shock and asked, "When did you come up with it?" ”
"Does it take time to think about this? I figured it out when the assassin ran away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The Black family and I have a problem, and you have to come forward and tell Your Majesty about this matter, and I guess it will work. ”
The old man laughed, patted Sun Xiang's shoulder in fear, and said loudly: "Haha, good boy, worthy of being a member of the Sun family!" I'm optimistic about you. ”
Sun Xiang looked at the old man's expression seriously, suddenly reacted, pointed at the old man and said, "You have already thought of it?" You just tricked me! ”
"Haha, I'll fool you, how about it?" The old man continued to laugh.
Sun Xiang knew that he had underestimated the wisdom of these old guys, but he also smiled when he thought that the revenge of the attack could be avenged.
*****************************
Old Black had just returned from his ancestor. His status in the Black family is the same as Sun Guangzan's status in the Sun family, and he has no absolute rights. And the Black family, like the Sun family, is also an old super family, and the internal contradictions are also very prominent. Therefore, before staging the bitter meat plan, he must get the support of the ancestors, otherwise his status is worrying.
In fact, there is a huge credit behind the success of the bitter meat plan, but the impact on the Black family in the process of implementation is also obvious. The influence of the family business, the betrayal of a few allies, the internal friction of the family, etc., will make the family weak and regressive for a certain period of time. However, in the current situation, only the Black family is the most suitable to play the protagonist of the bitter meat plan. Whenever he thought of this, old Blake hated Blake Shaw to death.
To say that Blake Shaw is also unlucky, the first time he did something wrong on the spur of the moment, causing the Black family to lose a southern resort; And this time he came completely in accordance with the rules of the party initiated by Prince Billey, but unfortunately he ran into Sun Xiang, who didn't understand the rules and didn't pay attention to the rules, and as a result, the Black family had to play the protagonist of the bitter meat plan.
It can be said that he did nothing wrong this time, but he appeared in the wrong place.
**************************************
Prince Billay was also wronged enough, he originally wanted to share his father's worries, but after the party, there were three attacks, for which he was summoned by his father.
Emperor Deco understood Prince Billay's hard work and did not blame him, but taught Prince Billay that it was better to rely on himself than on others, and as long as Billai's own strength went up, he could still earn back honor for the empire. At the same time, he taught Bi Lai that the road of the strong came out by himself, not with the help of others, and the empire is not bad for the younger generation of strong people, but these people are unwilling to reveal their identities. The so-called "Four Heroes and Eight Heroes" in the capital are not everything in the empire, and the so-called "genius list" of the mainland only represents potential, not any meaning.
In the end, Deco tactfully hinted to Billey that he wanted to have a good relationship with Sun Xiang.
It is the royal family's motto to have a good relationship with the four super families, and Bilai has long known it. As for Emperor Deco's hints, only Billay himself knew whether he listened to them or not.
Lannie has already met her own sister, the Seventh Princess. As an older sister, she felt obligated to be a gatekeeper for her sister's future. So Sun Xiang's despicable performance was told to her sister by her sister without reservation, and the seventh princess, who was already very disgusted with Sun Xiang, who had the status of the first gentleman in the capital, was now even more resistant, and had made up her mind to resolutely resist the arranged marriage.
*********************************
The capital was the political, economic and cultural center of the Tullian Empire, and it was also the most developed city in the empire, and of course the spread of information was also the fastest.
Three sons of the super family with the status of barons were attacked and seriously injured at the same time, and the news spread throughout the capital in a day's time. Subsequently, more news came out. First, there was a conflict between the two sons of the Black family and Sun Xiang, the grandson of the Sun family, at the gathering of Prince Billey, one of whom turned out to be Blake Shaw, who was also the sister-in-law of the Black family.
Then people learned that Sun Xiang was Sun Zhongkai, the first gentleman in the capital. He "came back from the dead" again, and turned into a master, it is said that he defeated Blake Shaw in the Eight Heroes of the capital, and agreed on the spot with the boss of the four heroes in the capital to fight to the death with Xishun, but unfortunately Yu Xishun didn't respond to the battle for some reason.
A gentleman is not terrible, but a gentleman who has become a master is terrible. And I heard that at the party, this Sun Xiang showed his style to the fullest. Many beauties were scared, and many beauties in the family were afraid.
Subsequently, news about Sun Xiang continued to spread. First of all, it was rumored that the Sun family had handed over Astor City to Sun Xiang to take care of. Astor City was exempted from taxes by the empire for seven years, and it was supported by two cash cow-like industries, and it was very rich. Sun Xiang is probably the richest of the younger generation. Then it was rumored that the woman next to Sun Xiang turned out to be the daughter of the Zhang family who produced porcelain, which meant nothing to say. And that woman has subdued Sun Xiang, and now Sun Xiang no longer dares to bully men and women, and does nothing wrong. In the end, it was rumored that Sun Xiang was already a high-level swordsman, and he also had a holy weapon in his hand, relying on the holy weapon to be basically invincible among high-level swordsmen.
With the news coming out, Sun Xiang once again became the focus of the capital, not because of his prowess, but because of his worth. It is said that many second-rate families who are good friends with the Sun family have come to the door to say goodbye to the Sun family and want to marry their own girl to Sun Xiang.
And the Sun family was also in chaos, and accusations against the head of the family, Sun Guangzan, continued. Some accused him of selfishness in handing over the fat piece of Astor City to Sun Xiang, and some accused him of violating the rules by handing over the holy weapons collected by the family to Sun Xiang.
Sun Guangzan held a meeting overnight, and the present was attended by the elders who were at home, a total of 41 people. First, all the elders jointly inspected and found that the family's holy weapon had not decreased, and then Sun Guangzan explained that the holy weapon was obtained by Sun Xiang when he had an adventure in Astor City, and according to the clan rules, it should belong to Sun Xiang personally. Subsequently, on the issue of handing over Astor City to Sun Xiang to take care of, Sun Guangzan first explained the matter of the royal family's establishment of the Astor City trial, and then said that Astor City was won by Sun Xiang with his personal ability and should be handed over to Astor City for management.
However, several elders led by Sun Guangbo did not agree with Sun Guangzan's statement. They thought that without the identity of the Sun family, Sun Xiang would not even have the opportunity to participate in the trial, let alone win the trial in Astor City. As a result, the two sides argued over each word, and finally voted according to the clan rules. As a result, Sun Guangzan's proposal was adopted with 10 votes in favor, 5 against, and 26 abstentions.
This is the first time that Sun Guangzan has received such a weak vote in favor of the vote on the family's internal affairs since he became the head of the family.
In the following days, the news began to spread quietly in the capital that the attack on the three barons was actually committed by the Black family, and this news spread throughout the streets of the capital on the third day after the attack. As a result, the people in the capital who had a little bit of political acumen were afraid, they were afraid that the news was true, and they were worried that the empire would enter turmoil from now on.
On the fourth day, the Black family finally couldn't sit still, and publicly issued a public announcement announcing that the attack on the three barons had nothing to do with the Black family, and that anyone who talked about it again would be regarded by the Black family as slander and a provocation against the Black family, and the Black family had the right to take measures. Then, Old Black actually shouted his grievances to Emperor Decor in person at the court meeting, and explained to the other three dukes in person. The emperor and the other three dukes expressed their belief in the innocence of the Black family, and at the same time said that they would quickly track down the murderer and give an explanation to the three dukes and the Black family. As a result, there was less discussion in the capital, and people began to wait for the results of the Empire's investigation.
On the seventh day, the court was again in turmoil, and Emperor Deco revoked the title of hereditary duke of the old Black family on the grounds that there was a major mistake in the work of the old Black, and only the title of duke was retained. This decision means that all the descendants of the Black family are automatically removed from the Barony! This change left the empire with three hereditary dukes, namely the Sun family, the Fabre family, and the John family. At the same time, it means that the Black family has regressed to a first-class family with the strength of a super family, and the Yu family and the Zhao family, which are now gaining momentum in the empire, have the same status. The only difference is that the elder Black also holds the post of prime minister.
As a result, the original Blake family became clean, and there was a long queue in front of the Yu family and the Zhao family.
The Black family also became low-key, and the hapless Black Shaw was grounded again after a few days of freedom, and the time of the lockdown was undecided. The Blake family's business was also affected as a result, and it is said that some opponents of Blake Sr. in the family also jumped out, accusing Blake Sr. of leading the family and not being worthy of continuing to serve as the head of the family.
Some gossip began to spread in the capital, and it was said that the attack on the three barons was indeed related to the Black family, which is still denying it. Emperor Deco has found out the truth of the matter, so he dealt with Old Black. But in order not to affect the stability of the empire, Emperor Decco will not announce the truth of the matter. Later, it was rumored that because Emperor Deco had canceled the status of the hereditary duke of Old Black, he had appeased the other three super families, and the other three super families had expressed their stance to Emperor Deco that they would not pursue the matter.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be spread quietly, and no one dares to stand up and spread it publicly.
