The Xuanzheng Hall is made of granite, and then dyed into a slippery black with some black paint, which is very simple.

Doctor Li's frustrated voice was Zhou Yi's timbre, resounding in the corner of the Xuanzheng Palace: "The sixth son of the emperor, Gongzi Yan, has led the army with meritorious service, gave 500 households to the city, and entered the court!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan bowed again: "Sons and daughters thank their father!" ”

Doctor Li said again in frustration: "Gongzi Xin, you have made meritorious contributions in raising the Shuyang Army, and you will give 300 households to the city!" ”

Gongzi Xin also stepped forward to thank him and said, "Son, thank your father!" ”

"The eldest son, Lin Yuren, has meritorious service in the government and government, and has given 300 households!"

Hearing this, the eldest son Lin Yuren raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was slightly surprised in his heart, this time he calmed down the bandits, to be honest, Lin Yuren didn't have the slightest thought, and now that he heard this reward, he was also surprised.

I wanted to step forward to pay my respects, but Lin Yuren noticed the slight abnormality of the "benevolent party" behind him.

Suddenly, Lin Yuren reacted, and gave three hundred households? Whose town is it given?!

I already knew that the "Ren Party" behind me wanted to protect my land in Jianyang, so I became a Ren Party, if I didn't protect their interests, I am afraid that tomorrow they would not have contact with the eldest son's mansion.

Therefore, Lin Yuyan made a short choice and stepped forward and said: "Erchen feels that this reward is deserved, this time to quell the bandits, the old clan of Jianyang has made a lot of efforts, and the son-in-law is willing to divide these three hundred yi with the old clan of Jianyang, and to his father, please take credit for quelling the old clan of the bandits in Jianyang!" ”

Three hundred households, the eldest son Lin Yuren was not limited to immediate interests this time, it seems that he has received the guidance of a master, Lin Yuyan can clearly perceive that after his second imperial brother heard Lin Yuren's words, his breathing involuntarily increased a little.

It is Lin Yuren himself, who gave up 300 households, which is also extremely painful, but the person who supports him said, 300 households in exchange for the comprehensive suppression of the Xin Party by the Ren Party, isn't it worth it, with the support of these old clans, the future Wuguo will be the eldest son's, and then take a step back and say, that is, the eldest son took back the land for the old clan, in return, wouldn't the old clan return the favor and give the eldest son 300 yi several times the loss? !

Therefore, Lin Yuren also felt that it made sense when he thought about it, not to mention that the person who said this to him was the person he relied on the most so far, and there was no reason not to believe his words.

However, the eldest son's words made the doctor who read the reward frustrated, and he was very embarrassed, so he looked at Emperor Wu and sought his meaning.

Gao Jin's face froze, but on this occasion, he was a big attendant, so it was really not good to say anything.

Emperor Wu looked at the eldest son Lin Yuren coldly, he was also a talented monarch when he was young, and he wanted to make a career, but he stayed in this Xuanzheng Hall all these years, this Wancheng has been a long time, and he has already let his blood gradually cool, who would think that such a seemingly gentle Emperor Wu today was once a martial monarch who demanded that he wanted to build a strong country!

Emperor Wu was silent, and it seemed that he didn't plan to say anything more to the eldest son, Lin Yuren.

It's just that Gongzixin, who has always been at odds with the eldest son, Lin Yuren, is also because this time Lin Yuren advocates seeking benefits for the old clan, which Gongzixin can never ignore, so Gongzixin can't stop the eldest son from saying this now.

Sure enough, after the eldest son, Lin Yuren, jumped out to ask for credit for the old clan, some new "benevolent parties" quickly stood up and said: "Quell the troubles of the thorny bandits, the old clan is indeed indispensable, please Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”

"The old clan fought bloodily in the bandits, with countless casualties, please have mercy on my old clan's war exploits!"

"The old clan of Jianyang Gou and the Ju clan are all fighting to the death, no one in the clan has broken and fled, they are all dead defending Jianyang, Your Majesty, the old clan of Jianyang has no merit and hard work!"

"The old clan does not seek rewards, but seeks to preserve the inheritance of the ancestors!"

At this time, Emperor Wu looked at the old clans one after another and spoke, no longer stopping, I am afraid that today's court will become a crying meeting of the old clan of Jianyang, Emperor Wu naturally knows the ins and outs of the matter, but he still pretends not to know the truth and asks the old clan: "What is it for?!" ”

At this time, it is necessary for a person who speaks very weightily to stand up and say clearly the interests of the old clan, originally there was no need for the eldest son Lin Yuren to stand up and say, but obviously the eldest son's grasp of the situation is far inferior to Gongzixin, so he thinks that at this time, standing up and speaking for the old clan will win the favor of the old clan and pave the way for future support.

Lin Yuren stood in front and said: "Back to my father, this time to quell the bandits in Jianyang, it is not the credit of the sixth brother of the emperor and the one person and one army of the Huaiyang army, the old clans of Jianyang have made efforts, and today, after quelling the bandits, there are meritorious soldiers but no rewards, and the sons think it is really unfair!" ”

Emperor Wu looked at Lin Yuyan and asked, "Gongzi Yan, is there really such a thing?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan did not reply to Emperor Wu's words, but looked at the eldest son Lin Yuren with a smile and asked, "The old clan contributes?" ”

Immediately, Lin Yuyan's eyes looked at the old clans kneeling on the ground, and asked sharply, "What strength did the old clan do in the banditry?" Someone came out to confront him?! ”

The eldest son just wanted to laugh, and stepped forward to scold the sixth brother of the emperor.

But he didn't expect Lin Yuyan to step forward directly: "Shut up for me!" The eldest son has not experienced the Thorny Yang bandits, and he is not qualified to talk about this matter! ”

"You!" The eldest son, Lin Yuren, gritted his teeth, but there was no way to refute this sentence, but Lin Yuyan's words were obviously disrespectful to himself, and Lin Yuren felt that he could lower the posture of the sixth brother of the emperor from this matter: "Lin Yuyan, why did you speak to the eldest brother of the emperor, it is against etiquette!" ”

Standing in the forefront, the supervising Shi Dafu Xia Wuti frowned, Fang Cai Gongziyan's words were indeed against the etiquette system, although he knew that His Majesty was dissatisfied with the eldest son, but Xia Wuti did not point it out, it was his own dereliction of duty, Xia Wuti had just taken his left foot, but he saw the Martial Emperor who was seated and said: "Yu Yan, pay attention to your tone, Gongziren, have you ever entered the front line of Thorn Yang when the bandits were in trouble?!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuren's face was stunned, at this time, Rao was not very sensitive, and he was also aware of his father's disappointment, but he didn't dare to lie in the reply, in the bandit season, he has been in Wancheng, but everyone knows it, if it is fake, others don't say it, how can Gongzi's letter not be debunked, so he honestly replied: "I haven't ......"

When Emperor Wu heard this, his voice was even more aggravated and he said sharply to Lin Yuren: "Since you haven't, what are you talking about, let me go down, the affairs of the old clan will naturally be said by the clansmen of the old clan!" ”

Lin Yuren didn't dare to refute Emperor Wu, so he paused and retreated to his original position.

The prince on the side raised the corners of his mouth, the meaning of the father was already very obvious, and he lightly turned the eldest son Lin Yuren's criticism of the emperor's sixth brother into nothing, and by the way, he also vaguely showed the courtiers that Emperor Wu supported Gongziyan's argument.

Lin Yuyan also understood this point, so he looked at those old clans more domineeringly and asked: "Is there any old clan member who can tell this son, what kind of feats have you made in quelling the thorny yang bandits!" ”

The old clan is naturally not stupid, Emperor Wu and Gongzi Yan sing and harmonize, how can they not hear it, but because it involves the fundamental interests of the old clan, these courtiers can't take care of it a lot, and one of them stood up and replied: "The old clan of Jianyang under the leadership of the old clan of the Gou clan and the old clan of the Ju clan has stubbornly resisted, just ask the sixth son of the emperor, does this count?!" ”

Hearing that this old clan forcibly defended, Lin Yuyan also smiled, so he looked at the old clan and said: "My son sees that you haven't gone to the battlefield of Jianyang, even if you do, I'm afraid you will become a deserter without seeing the bandits!" ”

The man replied: "Why did the sixth son of the emperor humiliate the minister like this! ”

"Humiliation?" Lin Yuyan looked at the old clan with a smile, and then said loudly to the courtiers: "Now, let me tell you about the old clan that is jumping up and down in the court in Wancheng now, what is the origin!" The Gou clan and the Ju clan did organize a garrison to defend the bandits who gathered in Chang'an from Xiaochang'an, but as for the record of the garrison of these old clans, Ben Gongzi can also say that the first day of the bandits' attack on Jianyang was to bypass the defense of the garrison and capture the Jianyang Mansion, and on the third day was the base camp of the garrison, the Gou clan fell, but the old clan garrison of more than 3,000 people could not even resist the bandit army of less than 5,000 people, which was really ...... If there were no bandits to capture Gou's territory, those bandits would not be able to exchange their armaments for a group of border troops allocated by the imperial court to Jianyang, and it would not be so difficult for the Shuyang army to quell the bandits! ”

Immediately, Lin Yuyan's eyes gathered on those old clans, and he said sharply: "You say, what merit does the old clan have?!" ”

Those old clans wanted to argue strongly, but they were directly pressed by Lin Yuyan, who knew the strategy of "chasing while victory", and couldn't even open his mouth to speak.

"The old clan even threw the bones of the ancestors to the bandit Faqiu to rob the coffin, what qualifications do they have to make a big show in the court, begging for the land that the ancestors will knock down with a sword, and besides, you might as well say it clearly, who is the old clan of Jianyang who is running east and west in Wancheng now, who do you know?!"

Lin Yuyan asked and answered himself, and then continued his original question: "They are the ones who attacked the Gou clan's territory by bandits, led the clansmen to flee to Shuyang, and betrayed the Gou clan and Ju clansmen who resisted the bandits on the front line to the bandits!" Ben Gongzi really doesn't know, what kind of face they have in Wancheng to borrow the names of the Gou family and the Ju family, and ask for their own interests here, so they are not afraid of the Gou family and the Ju family who were killed by them in the bandit trouble, haunted by nightmares in the middle of the night! ”

"Doctor Gou Wushe was also killed by them in the bandits, you and Doctor Gou are colleagues in the court, working together for many years, today, not for Doctor Gou, a former colleague to seek justice, on the contrary, to kill Doctor Gou and the Gou clan and then ask for benefits, to be honest, this son is deeply disappointed that Doctor Gou has colleagues like you!"

"This ......"

Listening to the gushing words of the sixth son of the emperor, the courtiers in the court were also very surprised, and they definitely did not expect that the sixth son of the emperor would actually be ...... At that moment, there were many outsiders who looked at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground and talking for the old clan of Jianyang, and there was no lack of contempt, thinking that these people were accomplices in collusion with the murderer of Gou Wushe, a colleague in the court!

Even those courtiers who spoke for the old clan of Jianyang were in deep self-doubt, and what the sixth son of the emperor, Gongzi Yan Fangcai, said was indeed a bit ...... Shocking meaning......

Zuo Xiang Shen stood up and looked at Lin Yuyan and said, "Your Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, what you just said is serious?!" ”

Lin Yuyan turned around and replied: "It's not a lie, Shen Zuoxiang, it was the Thorn Yang Commander who sorted out the battle report of the Thorn Yang Bandits, this time Thorn Yang was lost, this person's responsibility is unavoidable, so to avoid suspicion, it is not appropriate to use this person to designate the responsibility for the loss of Thorn Yang, and the officials and old clans who have been transferred to the Thorn Yang Command have been dispatched to step up the conviction and accountability of the officials and old clans who have lost Thorn Yang, and it will be presented to Wancheng in the near future!" ”

Zuo Xiang Shen nodded, and then begged Emperor Wu: "Minister, please allow Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”

Hearing that this matter finally had an opening, how could Emperor Wu have a reason to refuse, so he was naturally approved.

In this great era of the collapse of etiquette and music, there is still a etiquette system on the surface, even between the princes, it is necessary to basically maintain the most basic etiquette system in the Ji Zhou period.

The murderer who helped kill his colleagues in the court sought the interests of the murderer under the banner of his colleagues in the court, and when such a thing spread, it is difficult to guess how much impact it will have on the "scholars".

I'm afraid that the old clan that cherishes its reputation has an attitude of not getting along with these people!

Gongzixin smiled, it seems that this sixth brother of the emperor is not only a military wizard, but also a strong debater, just a few words are to make the court's tuyere immediately turn around, now is not the time for the old clan to blame Gongziyan, but how these old clans should wash away the unrighteous name on their bodies.

In an instant, a few words made the situation in the court change greatly, Gongzi Xin really liked this sixth brother more and more, looking at the gloomy face of the eldest son Lin Yuren, Gongzi Xin instantly felt that what could he do if he offended all the old clans of the Wu Kingdom, he would not lose if he got this sixth brother of the emperor after all!

However, for the sake of the foundation of the clan, although these people were involved, they also had to justify: "The retreat of the old clan of Thorn Yang is the result of discussion within the clan, Your Highness said that we did not go to the battlefield of Thorn Yang, could it be that Your Highness was in the meeting hall of our old clan at that time!" ”

"Hmph......" Lin Yuyan sneered twice, staring directly at this person: "Is it a rout, abandoning the foundation of the ancestors, it is not difficult to prove, the old clan that fled in Thorn Yang is now in Thorn Yang, all the every move of the old clan in Thorn Yang, it is not difficult to find a person with empirical evidence, and it is not too difficult to get the truth of the facts, but I once heard an old example of the Ji Zhou period in the Zixi School Palace, do you want to hear it?!" ”

Gongzi Xin smiled, and said to Lin Yuyan: "The sixth brother of the emperor said that it is okay, and he also wants to hear it for his brother, and the sixth brother of the emperor must not be without a purpose." ”

Lin Yuyan turned around and smiled at Gongzi Xin, and then said to the courtiers: "In the past, Ji Zhou Tianzi had divided the princes, and the princes had the power to levy troops, pay taxes, and all the government orders within the fiefdom, but the princes also had the obligation to guard the frontier for Zhou Tianzi. ”

Immediately, Lin Yuyan's eyes looked at the old clans on the ground, his tone paused, and he slowly walked towards those old clans, and said when he got closer: "The royal family of Wuguo today has handed over all the fields in Wuguo to the old clans in various places to take care of, although there is no name of princes, but you are all the bloodlines of the kings of the small sect, and you are naturally burdened with the responsibility of defending the land. ”

No one dared to respond positively, most of the people present were from old clans, how could this kind of language be easily answered?!

However, there is still an old clan saying: "Today, the sixth son of the emperor said this, even if the sixth son of the emperor recovers Thornyang, he also has the credit of my old clan of Thornyang, how can he erase this kind of credit in exchange for the blood of the old clan, in exchange for the ancestral inheritance!" ”

"Coincidentally!" Lin Yuyan didn't care at all about the old clan who suddenly stood up and said sharply, and replied: "The names of the old clansmen who followed me to recover Thorn Yang are all lying on the Bandit Merit Book of Thorn Yang Mansion!" ”

"Your Highness really wants to accept the inheritance of the ancestors of my old clan?" An old clan stood up and asked.

As for the answer of "yes and what", it is obviously difficult to answer in the court, Lin Yuyan said: "Since the old clan can't guard the land of the martial country, it has its own soldiers of the martial country, and the soldiers who shed their blood to defend the country come to guard!" ”

The old clan with Thorn Yang stood up directly and said, "Even if the old clan of Thorn Yang dies, I will not choose to abandon the foundation of our ancestors!" ”

"It's a coincidence!" Lin Yuyan replied: "Among the bandits, the bones of the ancestors of your old clan in Thornyang have been abandoned to the bandits, and I don't see you fighting to the death against the bandits!" ”

"You!"

"The sixth son of the emperor is separated from the old clan of us, and the old clan of us and the old clan petition His Majesty to remove the royal family of the sixth son of the emperor!" Seeing that the sixth son of the emperor could not be said to be the sixth son of the emperor, the courtier of the old clan also quickly petitioned Emperor Wu.

"I'll wait for the old clan to ask Your Majesty to punish the sixth son of the emperor!"

"I'm waiting for the old clan to ask Your Majesty to punish the sixth son of the emperor, Gongzi Yan!"

"Please Your Majesty punish Gongzi Yan!"

……

Suddenly, the courtiers of the old clan fell to the ground and asked Emperor Wu to make a punishment sentence for Lin Yuyan.

Seeing this, Lin Yuyan also knew that these old clans were invincible from the beginning, because they held the power of the old clans everywhere, and this was a force that even the Lin clan, the royal family of the Martial Kingdom, could not underestimate.

It is precisely because of this that even if Lin Yuyan's remarks in the court are absolutely suppressed, they can't resist the joint efforts of these old clans who are implicated in their interests.

The petitions of the courtiers, to be honest, even Lin Yuyan himself felt what it means to be exhausted!

Not long after, half of the figures in the court knelt on the ground, petitioning Emperor Wu to punish Lin Yuyan, the sixth son of the emperor.

At this time, Lin Yuyan also laughed at himself, he was really soft-spoken, but he believed that even if his second emperor brother came forward, the joint efforts of these old clans would easily make him capsize.

Seriously, Lin Yuyan knows that the Wu Kingdom has accumulated shortcomings for a long time and needs to be reformed, which can be seen by all the people of insight in the court, but why hasn't there been any change in the Wu Kingdom for so long.

The most important of these is the obstruction of these old clans in the court who kneel on the ground and only want to keep their family property, change requires sacrifice, and these old clans are unwilling to sacrifice themselves.

Wouldn't they not know that "there are no eggs under the nest", and they also understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, but in their opinion, in this era of change, even if the martial country falls, they are just changing to a king, and the old clan is still the old clan in the local area.

Lin Yuyan thought like this, how could the Martial Emperor sitting above feel good in his heart?

Looking at the courtiers kneeling on the ground, the "pillars" of the martial arts, Emperor Wu also sighed in his heart, his sixth son was young and vigorous after all.

"Former General Wuguo, old general Ju Mai go to the palace!"

Outside the Xuanzheng Palace, a gray-haired figure slowly walked up the steps of the Xuanzheng Palace, with a black armor and silver robe, and a gold-inlaid treasure knife in his hand.

"It's the old general!"

"Haha, the old general is finally here!"

"The old general is here, here, our land can be saved!"

Many old clans saw the old general Ju Mao walk in, and they all showed joy on their faces.

The old general Ju Mao walked into the Xuanzheng Hall step by step, Rao is Emperor Wu is also a pupil shrunk, the black armor and silver robe is the first generation of Emperor Wu personally gave the old general Ju Mao's body thing, the gold-inlaid sword is the first emperor to collect Ju Mao with a broken knife cast, and inlaid with gold to show respect.

After more than ten years, Emperor Wu saw Ju Mao's dress again, and suddenly remembered that Ju Mao was the pillar of the town and country that the first emperor had personally sealed.

With black armor and silver robes on his body, Wu Guo did not have a knife that could hurt the old general.

With the gold-inlaid treasure knife in his hand, except for Wu Guojun, there is no person who cannot be killed by the old general.

"Your Majesty!"

This old general is seventy years old, and there have been four kings since the founding of Wu Guo, and the old general's age is only so short that of Wu Guo, and the qualifications of the elders of the three dynasties make Emperor Wu have to show enough courtesy to this old general.
