Chapter 69: Severing the Father-Daughter Relationship

"Your biggest mistake is to be restless and keep to yourself, you are a girl, how can you understand the changes in the court, you are a girl who wants to get involved in the court, and you don't know how to die when the time comes." Zhou Jianxiong looked at Zhou Xiwan coldly.

"Even if there is a risk, it is better than you being a turtle with a shrunken head, holding hundreds of thousands of troops in your hands, but you don't do anything, don't participate in the succession, the new emperor takes the throne, you don't have any credit, you will only gnaw on the old book, how long do you think you, the general who protects the country, can be majestic, the first thing the new emperor has to clean up is you." Zhou Xiwan straightened up and said angrily.

"What do I do, I don't need your command, I just ask you, do you have to marry the third prince?" Zhou Jianxiong looked down at Zhou Xiwan.

"I'm married" Zhou Xiwan clenched her fists, she knew that the third prince was the future emperor, and for a good life in the future, she must marry the third prince.

"Okay, okay, I can't control you, and I don't want to care, since you insist on marrying the third prince, then don't blame me for being ruthless, from this moment on, you are no longer my daughter of Zhou Jianxiong, I won't care who you want to marry in the future, tomorrow I will tell the same person, and dissolve the father-daughter relationship with you, and you will have nothing to do with my Zhou family from now on." Zhou Jianxiong made a decision directly.

"Master, no? You will force Wan'er to death like this, without the support of her mother's family, how can she gain a foothold, master, please have pity on this child, she is also your biological daughter. Bai threw himself on the ground, grabbed Zhou Jianxiong's clothes, and begged bitterly.

"I treat her as a daughter, but does she treat me as a father? The Zhou family's face is about to be lost to her, and it is not appropriate to let a good wife go. I want to be a concubine, my Zhou family can't accommodate the daughter of a concubine, I have already arranged a marriage for her, the other party is simple, there are few rights and wrongs, you can take care of the house when you marry, and she will be stable for a lifetime, but if you look at her, can she see it? These are all good daughters you taught, and now what face is crying in front of me. Zhou Jianxiong shook off the Bai clan vigorously. Pointing at Zhou Xiwan, he hated that iron could not become steel.

Zhou Xiwan bowed her head. clenched her fists, what about her wife, she is just a little general who is not in the stream, where can she see it. Someone who has already been married once in his previous life. She's not uncommon. In this life, she only needs to be prosperous and rich.

"Today I will say this, as long as you marry the third prince. I will cut off the father-daughter relationship with you, Bai, if you are willing to follow your daughter, I will not stop you, the Zhou family has a house in Shunpingfang, and I will not let you go out without a place to stay, the house will be given to you, and I will pack up your things tomorrow and leave the Zhou family. Zhou Jianxiong looked at Zhou Xiwan's mother and daughter and said expressionlessly.

"Okay, I'll go, I already knew that you didn't look down on me, you only have Zhou Xiya as a daughter in your eyes, and you broke off the father-daughter relationship? Hahaha...... You and I are afraid that you will not succeed, break it, from now on you take your Yangguan Road, I take my single-plank bridge, I have nothing to do with you, one day in the future I will stand in a high position, but don't blame me for being ruthless, regardless of the love between father and daughter, I will always remember your "kindness" to drive me out of the Zhou family today. Zhou Xiwan stood up, usually Zhou Jianxiong, said this sentence with a calm face, and strode away.

"Wan'er...... "Master" Bai didn't know what to do, so he could only chase after Zhou Xiwan.

Zhou Jianxiong sat on the chair, looking a little tired.

"Dad, isn't this a bit too harsh?" Zhou Xiya took a cup of tea and handed it to Zhou Jianxiong.

"The Zhou family can't tolerate such an insulting daughter, don't tell me about the things she did, you won't know it." Zhou Jianxiong looked at his daughter.

"My daughter knows some, but there are some things, how can my daughter stop it, my daughter can stop it once, and she can stop it a second time, she wants to climb the high branches, what can I do." Zhou Xiya pretended to be innocent.

Zhou Jianxiong glanced at Zhou Xiya, it's good that this daughter is not behind to help the trouble.

"Dad, there is one thing that my daughter is also very curious, I want Zhou Xiwan to say, Dad, why didn't you participate in the succession, even if Dad, you want to be a pure minister, but our Zhou Jiashu is a big move, if Dad, if he doesn't follow the dragon's skills, the new emperor will ascend the throne in the future, and Dad, Dad, will inevitably be treated slowly." Zhou Xiya sat on the side and asked curiously, her father rarely told her about the court.

"What, you actually care about the government?" Zhou Jianxiong asked rhetorically.

"Dad, don't people care about you?" Zhou Xiya glared.

"Okay, okay, you didn't care about the government before, and my father didn't tell you, you didn't have a layout when you were a father, although we have been at the border a few years ago, but what is going on in the capital, my father doesn't know, my father is not a general who protects the country in vain, he holds military power, and he is most afraid of the emperor, and his father is also a step-by-step camp, careful planning, his father's friends are very wide, and his friends back then are in important positions, although there is no contact on the surface, but as long as his father has something, they will help each other, second, our Zhou family is a family, with deep roots, Not to mention our branch, how many children of the Zhou family are serving all over the country, many important positions in the capital are also people of the Zhou family, or the in-laws of the Zhou family, your uncle and grandfather are the head of the Zhou family, your grandfather has to call him the old fox, the Zhou family has many military generals, but secretly there are more Wenchen, and the Zhou family is even more married to some big families, and they are intertwined with each other, as long as these forces are revealed, the emperor must be afraid of three points. Third, it is the military power in my father's hands, although the emperor transferred me from the border pass, but although I am gone, there is still your eldest brother here, and there is no ability to take the place of our Zhou family. Fourth, my father and Marquis Xiao are good friends, Marquis Xiao holds the military power in the south, if the emperor really wants to move me, he has to weigh it, he is really going to force me, the north and the south are connected into a line, and he is the emperor who can not do Chengdu or not. Zhou Jianxiong touched Zhou Xiya's head and explained some of his forces.

"You, it turns out that you have prepared so much" Zhou Xiya exclaimed, he always thought that his father relied on those troops in the north later.

"Everything can't be put on the surface, dad naturally has to be prepared, in order to protect you, there are more generals who have died in vain in the past dynasties than in battle, how can dad not guard against the royal family, as long as there are enough hole cards in his hand, even if it is a mess, dad is not afraid, fortunately, the current emperor has been good to our Zhou family, and the country has only experienced decades of stability, and dad doesn't want to have a war." Zhou Jianxiong sighed, many things are involuntarily, and it is not easy for anyone.

"Dad, Zhou Xiwan is so good-looking to the third prince, then these sons of the emperor, who do you fancy dad? The only one who will ascend the throne in the future can only be one of them, since my father has so much power in his hands, why not directly support a weak prince to ascend to the throne, in exchange for more benefits in the future" Zhou Xiya was puzzled, with his father's current ability, he was fully capable of doing so.

"To tell the truth, these sons of the emperor, my father is not optimistic, they are not the Ming Jun that my father expects, the prince is mediocre, he can only be a city defender, but now the country needs a bold monarch to bring a new atmosphere, but unfortunately the prince can't do it, the three princes face the corporal Lixian, but his person is extremely insidious, narrow-minded, such a person becomes the emperor, it will only be a disaster for the country, as for other princes, they were suppressed by the queen very much, and they didn't let me look at it, as for the support you said to support the weak lord, hehe, This matter is not so simple, those who have the intention to take the heir, which one has no ambition, even if he obeys my orders now, and when he ascends the throne in the future, I am the one who wants to get rid of the most, are there few such examples? If you want to hold the emperor hostage, it is not so easy to be the 'emperor' of this country, so it is good to be safe and stable in this way, as long as the new emperor does not know how to raise his power. Zhou Jianxiong sneered.

Zhou Xiya nodded, indeed, the wealth on the surface is indeed not as good as the strong and prosperous in the secret, Dad's ambition is not so big, now the Zhou family has a very good pattern, it is not obvious, but no one dares to bully the Zhou family.

"It's a pity, it's a pity" Zhou Jianxiong shook his head suddenly.

"What a pity?" Zhou Xiya was puzzled.

"Marquis Xiao's sons are all good, they are all talented in civil and martial arts, how good it would be if such a child was born in the royal family." Zhou Jianxiong sighed inexplicably. (To be continued......)
