Chapter 1021: Punishment and Anger
Since it is impossible to conquer Dulong Pass in a short time, then Dulong Pass cannot be attacked. In any case, the relationship between the north and the imperial court has not been completely broken, and after all, the king of Qi is of royal blood, and in this world that emphasizes bloodline and family, the royal family will not easily give up anyone with family blood. The previous suppression can be regarded as grinding, and knocking soldiers into the customs can also be regarded as internal contradictions within the family, after all, there is no complete fallout.
This is also the reason why the King of Qi and the county lord of Mingxia tolerated the court in every way before, in the final analysis, the court was just a subsidiary property of their family. Conflicts of interest are inevitable, but it is another matter to really involve the safety of family members.
In Qin Yun's eyes, King Qi's actions were tantamount to rebellion, but in the eyes of others, they were just normal moves. Therefore, the situation was not as bad as Qin Yun expected. And even if they really tear their faces and the two sides turn against each other, the imperial court probably won't be able to make up its mind to use the ultimate means. After all, the imperial court is not a monopoly, and the ability to rule the world for so many years depends more on the support of the righteous name and the popular will accumulated for thousands of years. If the court is really dizzy, the happiest estimate is that the other three princes will jump out early to deal a fatal blow to the court, so as to compete with the court for the hearts of the people.
This once again taught Qin Yun a good lesson.
Since there was the possibility of turning a big thing into a small one, Qin Yun also let go of the worries in his heart and began to focus on the newly arrived "Chaos Open Heaven Canon". I have to say that the "Chaos Open Heaven Canon" is worthy of being a well-known magic skill in the Metaverse, unfathomable, and Qin Yun's painstaking study for half a month is only a beginner. However, even this is also a great benefit, many martial arts points have opened Qin Yun's eyes, and many doubts in his heart have been solved one by one.
Several times the lord of Mingxia County asked Qin Yun to participate in important meetings, but he tried his best to refuse, and what he really couldn't refuse was only with ears and no mouth, and his mind didn't know where to fly for a long time. However, in this way, Qin Yun unexpectedly received a lot of praise, the veteran of the Qi Palace's mansion highly appreciated his practice of not seizing power (no one came to fight for power and profit, so he was naturally happy), and the king of Qi was also very appreciative (the general's life scribe's temperament, chic with a scholarly atmosphere), not to mention the lord of Mingxia (I just hate to leave Qin Yun in the palace of the king of Qi forever).
After coming and going, Qin Yun's status in the Qi Palace's Mansion has become a little unique, not like a subordinate, like a noble guest. He doesn't hold any rights, but he can speak out about everything, and everyone's opinions on him are very serious.
However, this kind of good life did not last long, and soon, the 'punishment' of King Qi and Lord Mingxia came out. Qin Yun was also called to the handsome tent to observe, which was a very high honor and trust, which made many veterans of the Qi Palace's mansion very red.
“…… The king of Qi knocked his troops into the customs without authorization, although there was a reason for the situation, but the punishment was indispensable. Remembering his special circumstances, he will be fined for one year, and he will not be allowed to return to his family to worship his ancestors for ten years...... The lord of Mingxia County gave him a fief, Wanyi County, and so on......"
This punishment doesn't seem to be much, it's just a one-year fine, and you can't go back to your family to worship your ancestors for ten years, and you can also get a fief of a county, which can be said to be a big profit. But for people in this world, the annual ancestor worship is a big thing, and it is really a very heavy punishment not to return to the family to worship the ancestors for ten years. In contrast, a one-year fine is only a dime a nine years.
Let's talk about Wanyi County, which is a county located in the seven northern states, and the royal family gave the county lord of Mingxia is just a difference between generosity and the right hand.
In the final analysis, although the royal family values the inheritance of bloodline, it is still more wary of the outstanding children of the Pang clan than the King of Qi.
"Too much deception, too much deception...... The elders of the Presbyterian Church are not ...... What the hell is the old guy thinking...... It's obviously Xia Ji (the emperor) who started it, why don't we all go back to worship our ancestors...... Even if I punish me for my mistake, why can't even Mingxia go back to worship the ancestors, it's too unfair......" King Qi was furious, and at this time, he couldn't see his usual elegant appearance at all, just like an enraged lion, constantly walking around, roaring angrily but weakly.
That is to say, King Qi still has the elegance and quality of the royal family in his bones, and if he was a bystander, he would have already opened his mouth to scold the street. Not to mention that the military generals are originally a group of vigorous blood and impulsiveness, and there are not a few who go to extremes in anger.
After a long time, King Qi held back his anger and stared at the children of the family who came to interrogate him with a pale face: "What about Xia Jiao?" ”
In the final analysis, it was the emperor who broke the rules first. Although the status of the emperor is extraordinary, generally speaking, except for the founding emperor, the other successive emperors cannot break away from the shackles of the clan, but more or less. The current emperor succeeded to the throne at a young age, and he was not an outstanding person, but he could only hold on to the throne after ten years, and he could not achieve the point of commanding the world with one word, and the clan's checks and balances on him were particularly serious.
"This ...... His Majesty's identity is special, and the clan elders are not too harsh, but they just let His Majesty kneel in the ancestral hall for a night of reflection...... "The children of the family who came are also the children of the side branches, and they have a feeling of empathy when they say it, and they are very angry."
Perhaps among the descendants of the royal family, King Qi is a thorn in the eye. But among the children of the side branches, King Qi is a banner, an example for them to worship and follow.
King Qi's face darkened directly, this favoritism is too serious! Qin Yun watched the excitement from the sidelines, and the King of Qi was so angry that he trembled, his lips opened and closed, and it was estimated that he either wanted to scold his mother or directly ordered the army to attack the city.
"Hehe, let's fight, it's a good thing to fight. At the very least, you don't have to worry about being thrown out as a scapegoat. Qin Yun thought ill-intentioned on the side.
Although both the King of Qi and the Lord of Mingxia have been extremely friendly to Qin Yun these days, and it can even be said that they treat him as a confidant, they have not even avoided him for such a thing. But Qin Yun didn't have half a point of happiness in his heart, let alone moved. He had never been afraid to suspect anyone close to him at worst, without which he would not have survived today. In the final analysis, Qin Yun has not fully joined the Qi Palace, and he can be regarded as an outsider. Even if he was his own person in the Qi Palace, he was still not as close as other people's relatives, and if he was betrayed, Qin Yun would not feel surprised and angry at all.
The generals and scribes of the Qi Palace's palace in the big tent were also the same enemy, and everyone was very angry. Those generals even clamored to enter the pass, giving those 'big shots' a little color, and the Qi Wangfu was not easy to bully.
