Chapter 16: The Court Controversy

On the official road of Kyoto in the Xia Kingdom, dozens of horses came with their hooves raised, and this group of people and horses came all wearing battle armor, it was Qin Xiaotian and others who received the holy decree from Longhua City and returned to Beijing to restore their lives.

"Hoohoo, hoo hoo !!" A burst of horses sounded, and dozens of war horses came to a city wall that could not be seen at a glance, and they stopped their horses' footsteps, and turned over and dismounted.

"The old slave has seen the eldest young master. An old man who looked like an old housekeeper quickly came to Qin Xiaotian and saluted respectfully, followed by more than a dozen men in strong suits behind the old man, and they also said in unison: "My subordinates have seen the eldest young master." ”

Qin Xiaotian saw this old salute, quickly stepped forward to support this old Shuangbi, and said with a respectful expression: "Uncle Hei, don't do it, you are torturing Xiaotian." ”

"Staff Officer Zhang, what the general learned back then was taught by the black elders. Hu Tian's voice sounded in Zhang Huaming's ears.

"Master. When Zhang Huaming saw this old man, a strong sense of danger surged in his heart, so he knew at the first time that the old man in front of him who seemed to be weak was actually a master, and his cultivation was definitely above the Martial Sect.

When the old man heard Qin Xiaotian's words, he said with a weak smile on his face: "The old slave is the descendant of the Qin family, and the young master is the young master of the Qin family, and the old slave should salute." ”

When Qin Xiaotian heard the old man's words, his face immediately showed displeasure and said, "Uncle Hei, you grew up watching Xiaotian, doesn't Uncle Hei still understand Xiaotian's surname? This time it should be the old guy who called you!"

When the old man heard Qin Xiaotian's words, he said with a wry smile on his face: "Young master, so many years have passed, why do you have to keep worrying about it? Last time, the old man personally went to the court to quarrel with the previous head of the Liu family for the sake of the young master, let him go over in the past!"

"In the past?" Qin Xiaotian heard the words of the old butler who seemed to be a teacher and a father, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said angrily: "Is it so good? If it wasn't for his obstruction back then, how could Xiaolan have encountered an accident? Uncle Hei, if you simply come to see Xiaotian today, Xiaotian will accompany Uncle Hei to catch up with the past, if you want to speak for him, then please be unreasonable, Xiaotian will go to the palace to resume his life." ”

The old man seemed to have understood that Qin Xiaotian would have this reaction, so a helpless smile appeared on his face and said with a bitter smile: "Since the young master has the emperor's order, the old slave doesn't dare to disturb and retires first." ”

"Please. ”

In the splendid palace, Zheng Chenggong sat on the dragon chair and listened to the civil and military officials below report the situation in each region one by one.

"Report! Generalissimo Qin Xiaotian came to reply to his life. A sound of proclamation sounded from outside the palace.

"Wow!" The entire court civil and military officials were shocked, and hundreds of eyes were cast towards the gate of the palace, and then five figures appeared in front of the gate of the palace.

"The last general, Qin Xiaotian, see His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"The last generals Wang Hu, Wang Bao, Wang Shi, and Zhang Huaming see Your Majesty the Emperor. ”

Zheng Chenggong saw the fear of the Chinese military officials seeing Qin Xiaotian, and secretly sneered in his heart, and then waved his hand with a smile on his face: "All the loves will be flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Qin Xiaotian and the others got up together, Qin Xiaotian's eyes swept over the Chinese martial arts officials one by one, only two people paused, one was his father King Qin paused, and the other was on Liu Heng, the head of the Liu family, but the two pause eyes were different, the pause on King Qin's body was a very complicated gaze, and the pause on Liu Heng's gaze was a murderous gaze.

Zhang Huaming took advantage of this free time, and his eyes also fell on the head of the Zhang family, who was in charge of the financial power in the court, and was also the father of the owner of his unlucky ghost's body, and the latter seemed to feel the gaze of his son, and the latter saw the armor mark on Zhang Huaming's body, his expression was obviously slightly lowered, obviously he didn't expect Zhang Huaming to climb to this position so quickly!

"This kid is actually the position of chief of staff?" Zhang Wubing even knew some of the deeds of this cheap son in his father's mouth in advance, he still couldn't believe that his son could climb to this position in just one year, others don't know the establishment of the Tiger Regiment, as he is in charge of the finances of the entire Xia Kingdom, he knows very well, don't look at the establishment of only one army in the Tiger Regiment, in fact, the real number of men and horses has reached the number of three armies, and the combat effectiveness has reached the combat effectiveness of the four or five road armies. The Tigers accounted for as much as half.

Zhang Huaming obviously felt that his cheap father looked at him with many doubts and complicated expressions, and his brows furrowed slightly before retracting his gaze.

Zheng Chenggong put the performance of those civil and military officials in the court into his eyes one by one, and at the moment when he was about to speak, three figures appeared at the gate of the palace, and when Zheng Chenggong saw these three figures, he showed a wry smile on his face, for no other reason, the person who came was the head of the previous generation of the Qin, Zhang, and Liu families.

"Wechen, the last general will see Your Majesty. ”

"The three elders are exempt, I don't know what the three elders are here for?" Zheng Chenggong secretly prayed in his heart that these three old foxes would never bring up the old things again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general heard that my grandson returned to Beijing this time to resume his life, and this time he came to ask about the reason for the last incident, so that some people who are interested can give an explanation. Qin Li replied solemnly, but his eyes glared at Liu Mao with an inquiring expression.

Zheng Chenggong came to what he was worried about, nodded with a helpless expression, and then looked at Liu Mao and said with a wry smile: "Then what is the matter with Elder Liu?"

Liu Mao responded with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, Weichen is just worried that some people will turn things upside down and splash that sewage on my grandson. ”

Zheng Chenggong shook his head helplessly again, looking at Zhang Xiaotian with a wry smile.

Zhang Xiaotian seemed to know the meaning of his majesty's expression, so he responded with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen went to court this time because I heard that my grandson had returned to his life, and Weichen just thought about his grandson and had nothing else. ”

"Grandson?" Zheng Gongcheng was slightly flurry when he heard Zhang Xiaotian's words, and his eyes drifted directly to Zhang Huaming, who was standing beside Qin Xiaotian, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

"Wow!" When the entire court heard Zhang Xiaotian's words, they were immediately shocked, and hundreds of eyes fell on Zhang Huaming, after all, Wang Hu and other four brothers had seen more or less the civil and military officials, and Zhang Xiaotian said that when he saw his grandson today, Zhang Huaming, who was naturally very raw, might have the highest surname, but they didn't understand, in their impression, it seemed that they hadn't heard of any son of the Zhang family going to join the army! There was also a son of a staff officer in the army all of a sudden, strange thing, he was still so young, how could it be?

Rao is accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, Zhang Huaming was stared at by hundreds of eyes, and his whole body was not comfortable! So he turned his head, looking like I didn't know the Zhang family, in fact, he didn't want to have any family when he came to this world, after all, he was used to being free and unrestrained in his previous life, and he didn't want to have any ties, coupled with the hatred of this body towards the original family, he would not recognize this so-called family affection.

Zhang Huaming's actions surprised all the civil and military officials in the court, and the next moment, the eyes of the civil and military officials swept back and forth on Zhang Xiaotian, Zhang Wubing, and Zhang Huaming.

Zhang Xiaotian frowned slightly when he saw his cheap grandson's move, and sighed slightly the next moment, and his son Zhang Wubing, who was following him, heard his slight sigh, his expression changed slightly, and he shouted at Zhang Huaming with a serious expression: "Rebel, don't come over quickly." ”

Zhang Huaming heard Zhang Wubing's shouting, his brows furrowed slightly, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes and glared at Zhang Wubing, a cheap old man, who was actually startled by this gaze.

"Shut up. "How old has Zhang Xiaotian lived, how could he not be able to show that his demonic genius grandson was disgusted with his Zhang family, so he stopped his son's stupid behavior.

"Your Majesty, in the Battle of Cloud City, it is not good for the last general to defend the city, please punish Your Majesty. Qin Xiaotian looked at the court and bowed.

"En" Zheng Chenggong smiled and waved his hand and said: "Qin Aijiang, the battle of Yunzhong City, I have also heard of it, this time the Winter Kingdom is attacking in a big way, and it has also sent three people to attack in turn, and Aijiang can block the enemy army with a newly established vanguard battalion, not to mention, and annihilate the enemy army all the way, which can be described as a great achievement, where did it come from?"

"Your Majesty, the last will sue the jade!" Wang Hu stepped forward.

When Qin Xiaotian saw this scene, his expression changed, and he shouted, "Shut up and retreat." ”

"General. Wang Hu showed an unconvinced expression on his face, but after being glared at by Qin Xiaotian, he pushed aside with an angry expression.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that it will affect my Xia [***] heart!" Qin Li said as he stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers and others think that if this matter is not resolved, it will affect my Xia [***] heart!" said in unison among the Chinese military officials.

When Zheng Chenggong saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, and the next moment he looked at Wang Hu with a smile on his face and said, "General Wang, just now you said that you were going to sue Yu, what is the so-called matter?"

"Report to Your Majesty, before the fall of Cloud City, the last general received a rescue letter from the general, and the three brothers of the last general mobilized three brigades of men and horses to Cloud City overnight to support, but who knew that General Liu, who was stationed at Fengyun Pass, used the excuse of war to delay our support for the people, which made Cloud City fall, please Your Majesty clear our grievances, we will wait......"

"Fart, you're a little general, it's rare for you to say that it's my grandson who stops you, and besides, do you think Your Majesty will believe what a general of yours says?" Liu Mao naturally wouldn't let Wang Hu continue, and interrupted Wang Hu's words all of a sudden.

"Yes or no, Prime Minister Liu will know when he recalls General Liu. Wang Hu replied lightly.

"Doh!" Liu Mao was dumbfounded when he heard Wang Hu's bland response.

"Presumptuous, you are just a partial general who dares to talk to Prime Minister Liu like this, come on, take it. A burly man shouted coldly.

"Presumptuous!" Wang Bao and Wang Shi saw several generals walking towards their eldest brother, their palms pressed on the weapons in their waists, and they looked like they were about to start fighting if they didn't agree with each other.

"Presumptuous!" Qin Xiaotian shouted loudly, and the entire court suddenly fell silent.

Qin Xiaotian's eyes swept over the several generals who were about to come over one by one, and after being swept away, they all retreated a few steps, and finally his gaze swept to the burly man who gave the order and shouted coldly: "Liu Xiao, in the court, it is His Majesty's words that are upheld, and my generals are not on the table, but can you be a mere commander of the guards to arrest people at will in the court? Or can you bully me No one in the Tiger Regiment? If you are not convinced, you can compare it." ”

"Come on, who's afraid of whom?" said the commander of the guards who was called Liu Xiao said coldly.

"Hmph!" At the moment of tension between the two sides, the emperor Zheng Chenggong in the court snorted coldly, and the tense atmosphere collapsed in an instant.

"Look at you, don't you take me in your eyes when you use swords in the court?" Zheng Chenggong said with an angry face.

"We're here, and the last general is guilty. ”

"Since you are not convinced, then it will be easy to do, Liu Xiao and Qin Xiaotian. ”

"The end will be. ”

"Both sides are at fault in the matter of Cloud City, Qin Xiaotian has a meritorious role in killing the enemy, and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, a Qilin war horse, and a thousand taels of silver will be rewarded for the meritorious generals in the army who have killed the enemy. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"General Liu delayed the military plane and was fined one year as a punishment. ”

"Yes. ”

"Okay, this matter is over, Liu Xiao, since you and Qin Xiaotian are so unconvinced, then it's easy to do, today I will give the two of you a chance to compete, Qin Xiaotian has five people here, you can also choose five people from the guards to compete, no matter who loses or wins, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned in the future, the time will be set at noon after three days, do you have any objections?"

"The last general commanded. Qin Xiaotian and Liu Xiao responded in unison.
