0242 Be a thief with a weak heart
Originally, if the royal family had not had a stalemate with the Marquis of Wu'an, this problem would have been easily solved.
Only needs Emperor Zhou's words, how can Zhang Chaoyang, the god of war, give him a face, even if he can't give the land to Emperor Zhou, it should be difficult to divide the account later.
Unfortunately, Emperor Zhou did too much to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion before, and the two sides have reached the point where they are incompatible.
Five months have passed, and Emperor Zhou's anger has finally calmed down, but as a result, Zhang Qingfeng has made twelve spires that are only one line shorter than the stargazing tower.
The family has family rules, the state has national laws, and the laws of the Zhou State clearly stipulate that the pavilion building of any city shall not be higher than the stargazing tower of the palace, otherwise, it will be punished for the crime of disobedience, and the watchtower is not higher than the stargazing tower, but from the relationship between the Zhou and Zhang families, anyone will think that Zhang Qingfeng is deliberately provoking the royal family, and the Zhou Emperor is not angry before seeing the hell.
However, Gonggong Xu knew that this watchtower could not be demolished.
"Your Majesty is angry, and the old minister also knows that Zhang Qingfeng is disrespectful to His Majesty by doing this, but you are the king of a country, and every holy decree you make must not violate the laws of Zhou, otherwise people's hearts will be discouraged, and there will be a big mess. ”
Seeing that Emperor Zhou was about to be angry, Gonggong Xu hurriedly said first: "The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is different from ordinary princes and nobles, now Zhang Qingfeng is famous in the imperial city, any action taken by His Majesty against him will be spread in the shortest possible time, these twelve towers are an eyesore, but the places where the towers can be built are all private land purchased by Zhang Qingfeng, even His Majesty can't force him to demolish any buildings built on his own land that do not violate the laws of Zhou, after all, the name is not justifiable, isn't it?"
"Take a step back and say, if Your Majesty really forces the Wu'an Hou Mansion to demolish the tower, now there are tens of thousands of martial arts powerhouses from all over the Seven Kingdoms gathered in the Imperial City, in case Qingfeng says that Your Majesty is arbitrary and arbitrary, and the news spreads, it will greatly damage the image of our country in the minds of the other six countries, so the old minister is willing to ask Your Majesty to think twice. ”
After listening to Gonggong Xu's words, Emperor Zhou's face changed again and again, and finally slapped his hateful palm on the table.
Click!
The precious square table of the red sandalwood carved dragon turned into a pile of waste wood.
"I'm angry!"
Emperor Zhou's eyes were about to erupt with fire, "Zhang Qingfeng is really good at choosing the time, but it's not good to find me at this juncture, it's good! Wait for the end of the Jiujia Competition, see how I clean him up!"
Gonggong Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise, the Jiujia Dabi will start in more than three months, and please bear with Your Majesty for a while, and when the Dabi is over, the masters of various countries will disperse, and it will not be too late to find Zhang Qingfeng's theory." ”
"Theory?" Emperor Zhou snorted coldly, "When the time comes, I will directly drive the Zhang family out of Quanyang City, let them go to guard the border of the Great Zhou, and they will not be allowed to return to the Imperial City for generations! Isn't Zhang Chaoyang known as the God of War? Then we should serve our Great Zhou on the battlefield for generations, and only in this way can we be worthy of the title of God of War!"
Gonggong Xu's whole body trembled, and when he saw Emperor Zhou's face, he didn't say anything he wanted to say.
He knew that Emperor Zhou was worried all day long after he gave up Zhang Qingfeng's Dao bones, for fear that one day Zhang Chaoyang would suddenly break into the palace and kill him, and he didn't think about how to thoroughly understand this old case.
It used to be okay to say.
In addition to Zhang Chaoyang, the children and grandchildren of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion are not as good as one, and Emperor Zhou is not very worried.
Especially after the Dao Bone completely fused with his body and stepped into the Qi Transformation Realm, he was even more fearless, and his fear of the Wu'an Hou Mansion also turned into a disgust in his throat, but he was worried that it would affect his prestige, so he did not attack the Zhang family head-on.
But now.
Zhang Chaoyang is back.
Zhang Qingfeng didn't know why he suddenly turned from a waste who couldn't cultivate to a martial arts genius.
Even Zhang Beitian's strength has returned to its former peak.
In the opinion of Gonggong Xu, the Zhang family's departure from Quanyang City is the best result, otherwise if it is really a falling out with the royal family, no matter who wins or loses, it will be a disaster for Da Zhou, not good, and the danger of destroying the country.
Emperor Zhou walked to the window, looked at the void outside the window and said, "However, before the start of the Jiujia Competition, Zhang Qingfeng's provocation could not be pretended not to be seen. That's good, didn't Zhang Qingfeng build twelve towers? You go and gather people, and build twelve towers next to Zhang Qingfeng! They must be taller, more luxurious, and more spectacular than his! The deadline is three months, no, two and a half months, and the construction must be completed before the arrival of the royal representatives of the six countries! Go ahead. ”
......
......
Wu'an Hou Mansion.
"What? The royal family has started building a tower next to the watchtower?"
Zhang Qingfeng couldn't help but smile after listening to Du Dayan's report.
"Yes, judging from the foundation, it is a whole circle larger than our watchtower, and the stones used are malachite used to build the palace and palace, you say, isn't this a bad thing? That stone can be sold for more than a hundred white crystals, what does Emperor Zhou think? How many stones do you have to use to build a tower? Du Dayan was envious and distressed.
Zhang Qingfeng said with a smile: "Money is a trivial matter, face is a major matter, Emperor Zhou, Emperor Zhou, since you want to compete with me Zhang Qingfeng, then let's have a good fight, when the time comes, I want to see where your face goes!"
Time flies, and three months have passed in a blink of an eye.
Facing the twelve watchtowers built by Zhang Qingfeng, there are twelve more luxurious and spectacular 100-meter-high towers in Quanyangcheng, and countless people sigh and sigh around the towers every day, watching and appreciating.
The scheduled day of Jiujia Dabi is approaching.
As more and more martial arts masters gathered in Quanyang City, the royal delegations of the six countries also arrived one after another and lived in the post house arranged for them in advance by the Great Zhou royal family.
There were still three days before the official start of Dabi, and the Zhou Emperor followed the practice of the ancient Spring and Autumn period in previous years, and held a banquet in the palace to invite delegations from various countries.
"Manager Xu, don't worry, Your Majesty has a treat to eat and drink, such a good thing is the first time in more than ten years, how can we not go to the Hou Mansion of Wu'an? Tonight, I guarantee a lot, I, my father, mother, even my grandfather, as well as the steward of the house, and the head of the guard guarantee that they will all arrive on time, if it is not lively enough, the Hou Mansion just bought two guard dogs last month, or bring them with you?"
After Zhang Qingfeng heard Grandpa Xu's intentions, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
Gonggong Xu pretended not to hear the ridicule in Zhang Qingfeng's words, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, with His Royal Highness the prince, the old minister will rest assured, the emperor's order is in his body, the old minister will not bother much, and he will not be seen at the banquet in the evening, and he will leave." ”
Looking at the back of Gonggong Xu who fled in the wilderness, Zhang Qingfeng's smile gradually converged, his eyes narrowed, and a blade-like cold chill appeared in his eyes.
