Chapter 597: Refusal
At the same time, in the palace, the emperor was sitting in the imperial study, looking at Zhao Xian in front of him now, his face was gloomy, as if it was about to rain in the sky, it was extremely terrifying, and the emperor's body also loomed with a very terrifying aura, but the fluctuations were extremely violent and very unstable.
Last night's incident, the emperor did receive the news as soon as possible, but what he heard was as steady as Mount Tai, just to see how much courage the Zhao family had, and whether they could withstand Xing Tianze's sudden attack.
However, the final result was very obvious, such an unsatisfactory result, and the emperor had already guessed it very early, but what he didn't expect was that Zhao Xian would compromise with Xing Tianze so quickly.
In the emperor's imagination, even if Zhao Xian is useless, he will hold on until today to report to him, and then wait for the support of the holy decree, but the reality really corresponds to the sentence that people are not as good as heaven.
In the current capital, after the first-class family has fallen apart, the reason why the emperor can continue to play with Xing Tianze is because he thinks that no matter how bad the situation is, the vicious abuse will not develop to the point that the second-rate family will be eaten by the five princes.
But what happened last night once again slapped the emperor in the face, proving that Xing Tianze was a guy who took the sword off the beaten path and was unexpected.
Zhao Xian bowed to the emperor very respectfully, he knew that he had failed the latter's expectations, but he also had a spiegel-like title in his heart.
If the emperor really cared about their Zhao family, he shouldn't have stood by last night, even if he didn't come forward in person, he should have sent a eunuch to their house to sit down, showing that the emperor would not give up the attitude of the Zhao family.
And Zhao Xian's heart did not feel and owed the emperor much, although their family received a lot of favors from the emperor, but for so many years, the Zhao family has served the emperor before and after the saddle, it can be said that it is hard work.
If it weren't for this, Zhao Xian would have already expressed his support for the Fifth Prince, if it was like this, how could the Zhao family still be in such a second-rate family situation today?
Suddenly, the emperor slapped heavily on the table, and immediately more than a dozen guards with knives rushed in, pulling out the sabers at their waists and looking at Zhao Xian vigilantly.
However, Zhao Xian did not have the slightest panicked look on his face, and looked at the emperor very calmly, indicating that under the situation last night, he dared to guarantee that none of the officials who supported the emperor could support it.
The emperor did not immediately answer or ask Zhao Xian anything, but looked at each other for a moment before waving his hand and signaling the surrounding guards to go out first.
Then the emperor took a deep breath and calmed himself down as much as possible, because he also knew that what Zhao Xian said was not wrong at all, and now even he himself had to give Xing Tianze three points, so why should he ask his subordinates to do it with the fifth prince?
Suddenly, the majesty of the emperor's body disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he slowly opened his mouth to Zhao Xian, indicating that since things have developed to this point, then he has no extra requirements, he just needs to ask the latter to hand over the talisman of the Yulin Army.
Hearing this, Zhao Xian's face suddenly had a self-deprecating smile, he really didn't guess wrong, what the emperor valued was not the overall strength of the Zhao family, but the power of the Yulin Army that the emperor gave to their family.
But Zhao Xian will really hand it over, this is definitely unrealistic, this talisman can be said to be the foundation of the Zhao family, and it is also the most important bargaining chip for him to be able to exchange for major interests in the hands of the fifth prince in the future.
Therefore, Zhao Xian slowly shook his head, indicating that the talisman was given to the Zhao family by the emperor, and it was very clear at that time that unless the Zhao family was voluntary, no one could take it.
Although the emperor is now the honor of the Ninety-Five, he should also follow the holy decree promulgated by the emperor back then, otherwise it will be unfilial.
As soon as Zhao Xian's words landed, the anger in the emperor's heart boiled again, and he really underestimated the former, how dare he move out of the emperor to suppress him at this time?
Immediately, Zhao Xian gave the emperor a salute very respectfully, and took his leave first under the pretext that there were many trivial matters at home, and if the emperor had other things, he would be summoned into the palace to discuss it another day.
After Zhao Xian left, the emperor clenched his fists tightly and swept everything on the table to the ground, roaring loudly and reversing everything.
Half an hour later, when the emperor completely calmed down, the imperial study had become a mess, and the guards outside the door all knelt on the ground and did not dare to move at all, for fear of angering the emperor at this time and ending up in danger.
However, the emperor still has hole cards in his hand, and it only takes three days at most, Liu Jin and Zhang Renzhi are about to enter Beijing, Xing Tianze doesn't want to support the Wang family to gain a foothold in the capital, so he can also hold the Liu family and the Zhang family to develop in the city.
Even if this is a tiger skin, the Zhang family and the Liu family are together, it is far less threatening than Xing Tianze.
Moreover, judging from the current form, the Zhang family and the Liu family are at least loyal to the emperor, and with two chess pieces in their hands, what he can do is too much......
Time passed bit by bit, and after Xing Tianze and the other four had lunch in the Five Kings' Mansion, the two men in black sent a copy of the account book.
Meng Yun was really a little surprised by this, and what he praised a little was that the group of dead soldiers raised by Xing Tianze was really efficient, not a little bit, and he actually did what Wuji told him to do in such a short period of time?
You must know that things like account books are not accessible to ordinary people, especially if you think of things like the Liu family, which record many accounts of unknown origin, they must be strictly guarded.
But how long has it been since Traceless gave the order, and no more than two hours have passed, right? The dead soldiers of the Five Kings' Mansion found the things and sent them back.
After thinking about it, Meng Yun only came to two results, some of which were the Liu family's every move, but they were actually under the surveillance of Xing Tianze's dead soldiers for a long time.
Otherwise, the abilities of these dead men were too terrifying, and they stole the ledger without the gods knowing.
Xing Tianze glanced at Meng Yun very calmly, and said that this is completely his friendship with Wuji, if Meng Yun is envious, he can completely let the people of the Black Iron Alliance hand it over to the two of them, and after two years of training, they will ensure that they can be used.
Meng Yun laughed at this and said that if Xing Tianze and Wuxian were not too troublesome, just train him, and tomorrow he will call all the masters of the Black Iron Alliance in the capital to the Five Princes' Mansion.
Xing Tianze also shook his head with a smile, he stood with Traceless, but there was no such idle time, and the dead soldier was not something that could be trained overnight.
