Chapter 230: Putting things right
After the Zongjia came out of the customs, the entire situation in Yunjing became completely different.
Although the Zong family has only been out of the customs for three hours so far, there have been a lot of changes between the various forces.
The eldest prince was already dressed at this time, ready to enter the palace with the prince to ask for his life, and his reform policy in Zhongshu Province can be said to be ambitious.
On behalf of the two research groups of the castle tower, Scholar Luo and Scholar Wang were also preparing to go to the Cloud Palace to ask for peace, and the leader of this formation research group had not yet been decided.
In this matter, the hermit elders have some candidates, but these candidates are all unqualified without exception.
After all, Scholar Qi was in the prime of life, and he had only been in office for five years, so this sudden accident really made the formation research team of the castle tower seem a little overwhelmed.
Speaking of which, the real powerhouse of the Heavenly Castle Tower's Transformation God Realm is only these five people at the top level.
Except for these three hermitages and the two great scholars, the rest of these Transformation God Realm powerhouses really looked a little pitiful.
Among the three major research groups of Nuoda, apart from these five, there were only four Transformation God Realm powerhouses left!
Jiang Gandao, who was originally able to serve as the leader of this formation research group, now also chose to return to his hometown, and directly became the bookkeeper of Zuo Gong's Songhe Tower.
That's an overkill!
The second prince represents the will of the castle tower, and he must stand up and talk about countermeasures, so these two princes will also follow Scholar Luo and Scholar Wang into the palace to meet the Zong family.
The third prince had already returned to Yongzhou Mansion, and I don't know if the actions of the crown prince and the second prince had touched the third prince a little.
As soon as the third prince returned to Yongzhou Mansion, he directly expressed his full support for all of Zuo Gong's plans.
And, with all the power in his hands, he directly put pressure on the three families who supported the Yuan family.
Although the Jin family, the Luo family, and the Shen family are all the first families in their own states, they are still a little embarrassed in the face of the pressure of these three princes.
Among the eight families, Tianheng Mountain announced that he supported all of Zuo Gong's decisions, and with the assistance of Chilianmen, Zhenyunguan on the river naturally announced that he was on Zuo Gong's side.
That Thunder Cloud Dragon Sect Leader is a resolute and resolute character, and he directly threatens the head of the Luo family.
"If you get in the way of Zuo's official business, I will go to your Jingzhou Mansion to drink tea with you!"
This clearly means that the Luo family takes the initiative to stand in line, and for the threat of this Thundercloud Dragon Sect, the Luo family can only be defeated.
The Jin family in Yuezhou Mansion was also questioned by Jin Haishan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so he also announced that he would no longer assist the Yuan family.
What about the Shen family, Ximo is not what his Shen family says.
There is not only Xiao Kunlun, one of the eight families, and the blacksmith gang, the most arrogant gang in the world.
In the Western Desert, there is still a general in charge, and his Shen family is sandwiched between three mountains to survive, if it is not tactful, it will be a big problem.
Therefore, these three major families all gave up their assistance to the Yuan family, and for a while, the Yuan family once again fell into a financial crisis.
It's only been two days since it got better, but there was another crisis, and the Yuan family is really out of shape now.
The Yuan family, who was called every day and the earth, originally wanted to rely on the business of the Yuanjing Chamber of Commerce to make a living, but the 500 million taels of shopping subsidies suddenly issued by the imperial money bank directly smashed on the face of the Yuanjing Chamber of Commerce.
At this moment, the Yuan family began to really experience its own business winter.
At this time in Yunjing, no one would care about the life or death of the Yuan family, and the news of the Zong's departure from the customs is already the most important information worthy of people's attention at present.
I don't know what kind of uproar will be set off this time!
Whether it is the reform incident in Zhongshu Province, or the time of the accidental death of the Qi scholar of the Castle Tower, or the collective violent death of the head of the Luxian Palace and the ancestor.
The Zong family has a lot of things waiting for him to make decisions at this time.
At this time, the second prince was in the carriage and greeted a special guest.
"Although the main hall thinks that you will make some moves, I didn't expect to leave Jiangzhou Mansion and come to Yunjing so abruptly. β
In the carriage of the second prince, there was a young man with a somewhat unhealthy face.
The young man's face was very delicate, but the bloodless face and sick body were indeed somewhat reminiscent of three words.
Morbid beauty.
Beside this young man is a woman with a beautiful face, although this resolute girl is wearing a casual dress, but his temperament has a full battlefield atmosphere.
Needless to say, these two people are Yan Taishou and General Shen Qing.
"Wei Chen thinks that he still has to help a group of two princes, since you Fei Pigeon sent a letter to remind Wei Chen to be careful of assassins, then Wei Chen naturally wants to exchange courtesies. β
"I don't know what Yan Taishou has to say?"
"Don't go to the eldest prince. β
Yan Taishou said to the second prince in a very vigilant tone, but this tone was not a joke at all.
"Isn't it that Yan Taishou thinks that the imperial brother will still harm the palace?"
"That's not going to happen, although it's impossible for the eldest prince to have any thoughts about the second prince, but I can't guarantee that the people behind him will think more. β
The person behind the Great Prince?
Isn't it Master Lin? The second prince recalled that Lin Xiao had sent him a letter, and at this time, with the words of Yan Taishou, he felt more and more strange about it.
If the person behind this great prince is not Master Lin, then who will be behind him?
A member of the Senate, or a general of the Zhongzhou Mu?
There are only a few people in the upper echelons of the empire, who else can be his help?
What the second prince couldn't understand was that not only Lin Xiao reminded him, but even this Yan Taishou told him about it.
Could it be that the meaning of Lin Xiao's letter is......
Don't touch the Great Prince?
"I want to know, who is the person behind the imperial brother?"
The second prince muttered, Yan Taishou was stunned, and said with a smile:
Weichen didn't know about this matter, but when he used hexagrams for divination, he calculated this result. β
"If the second prince is obsessed and wants to test the eldest prince, he will definitely be killed. β
"Weichen hopes that the second prince can go with the sky. β
Yan Dongdong's words, he couldn't help but believe it.
After all, the person in front of him is the only existence in the entire cloud empire that can see through cause and effect, except for those two supremes.
Even if it is those five patriarchs, all they can do is to spy on cause and effect and grasp cause and effect.
If you want to see through cause and effect and influence it, that is something that only the ultimate person of the eighth order of God Transformation can do.
"Yan Taishou's divination, can you miss it?"
"There is nothing wrong with Weichen's divination, but there have been some small differences. β
The only time that he was not completely counted was the time when Lu Cheng summoned the blood dragon and washed the Jiangzhou Mansion in blood.
However, Lu Cheng broke the cause and effect that time, which led to the death of General Sun Xiu, and later he still went to the Luxian Palace and rebroadcast his cause and effect back to the correct route.
Therefore, everything is predestined, and breaking cause and effect naturally comes at a price.
However, a slight fluctuation of the red line of fate in a distant place can avoid the appearance of the inconsistencies of the paper.
This is the least costly and safest.
Therefore, for this reason, Yan Taishou came to Yunjing thousands of miles away, just to tell the second prince.
Don't mind the Great Prince.
"What if the main hall is obsessed?"
"Well, it's up to you to make it. β
After Yan Dongdong finished speaking, he got up directly.
"The second prince is a person with great creation, and Weichen can feel your extraordinary. β
But if you have to go against the odds, it might have a huge impact on your future. β
After Yan Taishou finished speaking, he directly withdrew from the carriage.
"Just a reminder that you're not that stubborn?"
The second prince muttered after Yan Taishou got out of the car, this Yan Taishou was not so paranoid and asked the second prince to never go to explore the eldest prince.
This is just a warning, and so is Lin Xiao, he just issued a warning, and he didn't say it so thoroughly.
"Then, if I try again, it shouldn't be a big problem. β
The second prince's heart of death came up, and nothing could stop him.
To test the eldest prince, this has to be skillful.
If they really thought that he, Li Zhongchen, would be stupid enough to ask directly, then they would underestimate him too much.
After Yan Taishou got out of the car, Shen Qing asked with some confusion:
"Taishou, why do you know that these two princes will not stop, why do you bother to speak?"
Yan Dongdong thought for a while:
"General Shen, if I tell you that the Shen family is about to face a big catastrophe and is likely to accept annihilation, will you just throw me in Yunjing now and return to the Western Desert?"
Shen Qing looked at Yan Dongdong in a daze, looking incredulous.
"Is what you're saying true or an analogy? β
This Yan Taishou's words are really a little confusing, so she is still ready to confirm it.
"By analogy, of course. β
"Then I will definitely stay by your side. β
"It's just because my question is an analogy, isn't it?"
Yan Dongdong smiled, this smile made Shen Qing a little embarrassed.
That's right, if this thing was true, she would really throw Yan Taishou in Yunjing and go to the Western Desert on her own.
But you can't say that in the open......
"Therefore, this kind of question is also asked in vain, just like I reminded the second prince not to test the eldest prince. β
"If I do, he won't necessarily listen, even if I'm right. β
"People always have their own opinions and thoughts, if everyone can listen to every word I say, basically there will be no such turmoil in Jiangzhou Mansion. β
"In the same way, if every decision of the Zong family could be implemented perfectly, this cloud empire would have already entered the Datong world. β
After Yan Taishou finished speaking, Shen Qing was indeed taken aback.
Yes, the reason why there is strife in this world is not because the leader's decision is incorrect.
If everything could go according to the imagined development, then the world should have been the same long ago.
However, this person has a personality, and he also has his own thoughts.
All living beings have different connotations.
The so-called difficult to reconcile, that's it.
In this way, Yan Taishou is indeed talented. Then what's the point of reminding the second prince about this?"
"That is, let him be a little more careful, after all, these two princes are not stupid, if I say it so casually, he should be able to understand. β
"I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who dares to say this about the second prince. β
Shen Qing shook his head with a smile.
Yan Taishou smiled and did not reply to Shen Qing's words.
In fact, about the catastrophe of the Shen family before, he Yan Taishou did not lie.
The Shen family will indeed suffer a catastrophe, but it cannot be called a catastrophe.
At best, the little cabbage that they have worked so hard to raise will be ruthlessly arched by an obscene pig.
......
At this time, outside the Cloud Palace, all the civil and military officials entered the palace in an orderly manner under the gaze of the forbidden army.
Those who advanced to the palace were naturally a few of them with a relatively high status.
Taishi Lin came to the noon gate of the Cloud Palace early, and under the gaze of the forbidden army, he had gradually entered the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Inner Palace.
When they came to see the Zongjia, they didn't want to go to the Qianqing Palace, but to the Taihua Palace.
Taihua Hall is much more spacious than the Qianqing Palace, and the upper court is usually in the Taihe Palace.
When the Taishi met, he naturally wanted to walk in the forefront, and it was the eldest prince who walked into the Suzaku Gate with the Taishi.
Although the eldest prince is the crown prince, after all, he is a disciple of the Taishi, so he naturally has to give up some positions to the Taishi slightly.
Following the Taishi was Xiao Ding, the general of Zhongzhou who was stationed in Yunjing.
This General Xiao's recent appearance rate is very high, which seems to be due to the gradual calming of the border situation recently.
Previously, he had been inspecting and training soldiers in the barracks of various banners in Zhongzhou.
After the New Year, it seems very leisurely, and there is already time to participate in activities everywhere.
However, the upcoming imperial examination will also keep him busy, after all, this talent can't be snatched away by Zhongshu Province and the Sky Castle Tower.
He also needs paperwork in Zhongzhou!
"I haven't seen the master for a few days, but I've been in good health lately!",
Although these two people are equals, in terms of control, Taishi is still slightly higher than this general.
Even if his cultivation was not as good as that of this general, Xiao Ding still arched his hand at the Taishi according to the number of etiquette.
"General Xiao is polite, the old man has been in good health recently, and his body bones are not as tough as General Xiao, but he has nothing to say about his spirit. β
The two of them stood directly on the first place of the civil and military positions on both sides of the Taihua Palace.
The crown prince stood beside the prince. One after another, the civil and military officials also gradually entered the Taihua Hall in an orderly manner.
There are a lot of people who come to see Zhongzhou Mu, and the top leaders of the military camp of the Eight Banners of Zhongzhou are basically here.
In addition to the people of Zhongzhou Mu, the first and third captains of the forbidden army also stood behind General Xiao Ding.
Among the civil officials, the total number of officials in the two organizations of Zhongshu Province and the Castle Tower combined is quite a lot, but compared with the next Zhongzhou pastor, there is a bit of a gap.
"The generals and adjutants have all come to meet them, and this Zhongzhou Mu is really full of troops. β
Seeing so many people gathered here, Mr. Luo suddenly felt very interesting.
Could it be that not only Zhongshu Province wants to reform, but he also needs to reform Zhongzhou Mu?
Moreover, the patriarchs of the four major families of Zhongzhou Mu have arrived, and even Tang Buregret, who doesn't pay much attention to his personal image on weekdays, actually wears the regular clothes of military attachΓ©s.
"This Zhongzhou Mu definitely has to make a big move, but I don't know what they want to think at the moment. β
Scholar Wang looked at this style, and naturally discovered the movement of this Zhongzhou pastor.
However, I didn't hear anything in advance that this Zhongzhou Mu wanted to do, but it could only be said that after seeing that the Tianshu Pavilion and Zhongshu Province were preparing to be restructured, he Zhongzhou Mu also came to join in the fun?
The second prince didn't come too early, he walked forward slowly, and stood beside the prince.
"You really know how to get stuck in time, can't you come early?"
"I'm not as idle as the royal brother, but this Wen Xiangju is mixed. β
The two princes said with a hippie smile, they are still so unorthodox in the Taihua Palace, and they are worthy of Li Zhongchen, who is known as the royal gentleman.
Seeing that these two princes were so casual, the eldest prince didn't have much to say.
As Shi Guan rang the bell, a huge spiritual power appeared directly in the Taihua Palace.
This spiritual power actually condensed a human-shaped phantom directly on the right position of the Taihua Palace.
This phantom shadow is wearing a dragon robe and a beaded curtain, there is no doubt that it is a family.
"See Your Majesty!"
The civil and military officials immediately knelt on their knees and bowed directly to this humanoid phantom.
"Excuse me. β
Whenever this retreat is completed, he is able to communicate with others through his spiritual illusion.
When Lu Cheng and them came to meet the saint after the year, the Zong family could only communicate with them with fluctuations of thoughts.
Now, they can actually make an actual sound, which shows that after the retreat, the Zong family is in a state of true qi full of three clear and clear minds.
"I have heard everything that happened in this retreat for a few days, and I wonder if you are here today, but what important thing do you want to report?"
The phantom asked, looked around at the civil and military officials in the Taihua Palace, and suddenly appeared in the Taihua Hall with a momentum that swallowed the universe.
I have to say that this momentum is really convincing, and such a strong momentum can be called the emperor of the Cloud Empire.
"Tell my father, my son has something to say. β
The eldest prince volunteered and directly handed over the scroll of the reform of the Zhongshu Province.
A stream of true qi directly enveloped the scroll, and after the essence of the three clearings swept through, the phantom of the information in the scroll was already clear to the chest.
"Yes, this province really needs to be reformed. β
"During my retreat, a lot of things happened, and the reason why these things happened was because of the current system. β
"The development of the empire must first undergo a change in the system, and the system of Zhongshu Province is still in a wartime state. β
"Now that the world is peaceful, it is natural that it should be reformed. β
After hearing that his system reform was recognized by the Zong family, the eldest prince showed a proud smile.
"Zhongshu Province, from now on, dissolve!"
The last sentence of the Zong family really made the eldest prince stunned.
He just hoped to change Zhongshu Province, but the Zong family actually wanted to dissolve Zhongshu Province directly!
Could it be that the political institution of this empire, which lasted for more than 300 years, was forcibly dissolved because of the order of the Zong family?
Moreover, all the reform plans carefully formulated by the eldest prince were in vain?
It's really a little difficult for the eldest prince to accept......
