Chapter 16 The Maison's Response
In the royal study of the palace, Qin Hao sat on the main seat, holding a palm-sized snow-white rabbit in his arms.
In front of Qin Hao, Wei Zhongxian bowed his head respectfully, "Lord, the meeting on the Bai family's side has begun."
"Have you started?"
Qin Hao's eyelids were slightly raised, and one palm slid gently on the little white rabbit's soft back, making its beautiful ruby eyes squint comfortably.
"Which families are involved?" Qin Hao asked lightly.
"The remaining Wen family, the Zhang family, and the families of Yunjing City are nearly more than ninety percent of the four major families, as well as most of the families in the thirteen cities around Yunjing City."
"Are the families other than Yunjing also involved?" Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a different color, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of mockery, "So it seems that this king is really unpopular."
"But do you want the minions to go and slaughter all these rebellious ministers and thieves?"
Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
"No, you just need to keep watching, this king wants to see what tricks these guys can play" Qin Hao sneered.
The family is just a small stumbling block for Qin Hao, which can be kicked away at any time, but now is not the best time.
Under his command, there are Jindan realm powerhouses such as Yutu and Bai Qi, as well as invincible powerhouses in the innate realm such as Wei Zhongxian, who can be called half-step Jindan, but there are insufficient manpower, and his control over the Qin State is too low, and he has to rely on the family to support the scene, so naturally he can't be wiped out all at once.
"It's Wei Zhongxian, bowing down, "the old slave retired."
He leaned backwards, and disappeared completely when he exited the door of the study.
......
In a huge manor outside Yunjing City, which is located in a remote location but has an unusually beautiful scenery, a famous maid and maid shuttle through the corridor with various food and wine in their hands.
In the huge garden of the manor, hundreds of richly dressed men and women with extraordinary temperament are feasting.
In the depths of the garden where the banquet took place, there was a unique archway, under which two fierce men stood fierce.
Inside the arch, there is a courtyard full of strange flowers and plants, spiritual grasses and spiritual fruits.
Inside the courtyard, there is a huge hall.
Bai Yunfei sat on the main seat, and on either side of him sat a burly and vicious middle-aged man and an old man with a white beard.
"The monarch today beheaded sixteen officials of the Military Division in the Chengtian Palace, and then issued a recruitment order, wanting to collect the world's cold men for their own use, and then they will include the red cloud thief blood and jade face as the three-grade military generals, and they can control the army of 50,000" Bai Yunfei looked around with his eyes and said with a solemn expression, "Can everyone know about this matter?"
"How could you not know such a big thing?"
"The monarch has given an order to spread the recruitment order to the world."
In the hall, the heads of various families spoke one after another, and their expressions were extremely ugly.
Qin Hao's recruitment order is a blessing for the Hanmen cultivators, but for the family, it is tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and it naturally attracts attention.
"What do you think of the monarch's move?" Bai Yunfei asked again.
"This..."
The heads of the family looked at each other, but no one said anything for a while.
"Hmph, since you are here today, you must have already known the key points, but at this moment, you are cringinge, sitting with you, how can you achieve great things?"
Looking at everyone's reactions, the burly and vicious middle-aged man sitting next to Bai Yunfei said with a cold face.
In the crowd, a thin man showed a look of hesitation on his face when he heard this, and then seemed to have made a decision, and said in a calm tone, "Since the head of the Wen family said so, then I won't hide it."
"Now under the order of recruitment, there is a living example of blood and jade face standing there, and the world's responders will surely gather, if we don't think about stopping it in time, then a large number of poor families will join the court and carve up the power of the world, and our family will definitely be persecuted by it, and even destroying the family and destroying the clan is not a lie."
"The head of the Wang family is right."
"That's exactly the case, the Hanmen Scattered Cultivation has been suppressed by our and other families, lacking exercises and resources, but there are still many strong people, if you let it go, then you can still get it?"
"Yes, if you ignore the loose cultivation, allow a high position, and let it develop, I'm afraid that in less than thirty years, there will be no place for our family in this Qin State."
"The monarch's move is simply mediocre, and I am afraid that it will push my Great Qin to destruction"
After the thin man, the head of a famous family spoke, some worried, some sighed, and some were angry.
"Then in Brother Wang's opinion, how do you think our family should deal with it?"
Bai Yunfei raised his hand slightly.
The people who were discussing below hurriedly shut up.
In the Great Qin Kingdom, the Qin family and the four major families of the royal family are supreme, and even some families with similar strength do not dare to offend.
Not for anything else, just because it has a golden pill heritage.
The thin man's name is Wang Xiao, he is the head of the Yunjing royal family, a master in the late congenital period, and his younger brother Wang Jiufeng is the general of the Yunjing Guard Army, commanding 50,000 royal city guard legions, and his personal strength has reached the peak of the innate state.
In Yunjing City, in terms of overall strength, the Wang family is not the slightest weaker than the four major families.
But the Wang family is still subservient to the four major families.
"I thought about it when I came," Wang Xiao thought for a moment, and then continued, "The bloodthirsty demon under the command of the monarch is endlessly fierce, and it only took half an hour to slaughter the entire Mo clan."
"The inner eunuch Wei Zhongxian's strength is also extremely strong, and he is suspected of being at the peak of his congenital strength, and he is also one of the peak powerhouses in my Great Qin."
"Now he has accepted the allegiance of the Chiyun Thieves led by Blood Yuyan, and the rest of the three thousand five hundred Chiyun Thieves are general, but Blood Yuyan and Zhou Baiyi are both strong in the late congenital stage, and they should not be underestimated."
Wang Xiao counted Qin Hao's now revealed strength one by one.
The evaluation of Bai Qi and Wei Zhongxian's strength is very different from their real combat power, but everyone present, including the heads of the three major families, did not raise any objections.
For them, there is no difference between innate invincibility and the late stage of Jindan, anyway, killing them is a one-trick thing, and naturally they can't judge Bai Qi's strength.
As for Wei Zhongxian, he has only shot once, and he has killed a mid-congenital stage, and it is the limit to be recognized as the peak of congenital.
Wang Xiao continued, "The strength of the monarch is too strong, he can only outwit him, not be able to defeat him, in my opinion, there are three ways to break the situation."
"Three methods?" everyone was shocked when they heard this.
They don't even have a way to do it with sad faces, this Wang Xiao actually said that there are three methods, are they really fake?
Bai Yunfei also came to be interested in "talking about it".
Wang Xiao nodded slightly and said, "This first method is very simple. The monarch ordered someone to destroy the Mo clan, we only need to report the news to the sect, and the ancestors of the Mo clan within the sect will be furious, if they can make a move, they can easily kill Bai Qi, and the monarch will inevitably have to pay for the lives of the Mo clan."
"This method doesn't work" As soon as Wang Xiao's voice fell, he sat on the other side of Bai Yunxiao, and the head of the Zhang family, who had never spoken, shook his head slightly, "When the Mo clan perished, we will inform the sect with a flying sword, and a whole day has passed, and the sect has not responded, I am afraid that it will not be able to free up its hand."
"Since this first one doesn't work, then the second"
When Wang Xiao heard this, his face could not hide a look of disappointment.
"The second method is very simple," he continued, "and now that the treasury is empty, all the elixirs, spirit stones, and even gold and silver in it have been packed and taken away by Qin Tangren."
"Although the monarch destroyed the Mo family, he will inevitably get the treasures stored in the mansion by the Mo family, but it is just a drop in the bucket."
Like a family like the Mo family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, the family wealth is endless, but it is impossible to keep it all at home.
Even in the home, it is only a very small part, and the real big head must be stored in a hidden place for the background.
This is also the reason why the four major families were only angry and not so anxious when they were obviously robbed of the treasure house by the rogue rabbit.
"What does Brother Wang mean..."
Bai Yunfei's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"The monarch recruited blood and jade face into the imperial court, and it was okay to be a third-grade general, but he also let him build an army of 50,000" Wang Xiao's mouth slightly hooked "The establishment of the legion, people eat horses, and the amount of military salaries and so on requires a lot of wealth, but now that the treasury is empty, how did the monarch establish the legion?"
"That's right."
A word to wake up the dreamer.
Now that the treasury is empty, the monarch wants to build an army, what to do?
Wang Xiao continued, "Under such circumstances, if the courtiers then use the emptiness of the treasury as an excuse to persuade the monarch to withdraw his order and force the monarch to lose his trust, do you think this meritocracy order can continue?"
As the king of a country, he promised but couldn't do it, and the recruitment order was self-defeating, how could it be possible to continue to implement it?
"Wonderful, wonderful"
Bai Yunfei and the three of them all had light in their eyes, and they couldn't imagine that the method of breaking the situation of the recruitment order was buried in the reward by the monarch himself, and it was really the reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution was unhappy.
"Wang Xiao, continue to talk about your third method"
The burly and vicious man said impatiently.
"Okay!" Wang Xiao nodded and agreed, "This third article is a policy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle."
Wang Xiao's eyes flashed with a fierce gleam, and he sneered: "Doesn't the monarch want to accept the world's talents for his own use?
"Recruit those people into your command?"
When everyone heard this, their brows furrowed slightly.
"What's that saying?"
The head of the Zhang family asked in a deep voice.
The reason why the family suppressed the loose cultivation was because the family had a good control over the cultivation resources and cultivation exercises, and if the loose cultivation was included in the family, not to mention affecting the purity of the family, it would leak many exercises and resources, and the gains outweighed the losses.
"It's very simple," the smile on the corner of Wang Xiao's mouth was even bigger, "The head of the Zhang family thinks that if the scattered cultivators join our clan, can we be transferred at will?"
"It's Nature"
The old man nodded and replied without thinking about it.
"Then if he falls on the way to the mission, will the scattered cultivation still occupy the family's resources?"
"This..."
When everyone heard this, their eyes were full of pride.
......
Half an hour later, when the meeting was over, the people left the courtyard and went into the garden to call the people who had already eaten the feast to leave.
And in the palace, Wei Zhongxian once again came to Qin Hao.
"Ask the sect for help and ask the Jindan Ancestor to help. Forced the king to self-destruct his promise and take back the order of the blood jade face to establish a legion. Recruit Hanmen Sanxiu to join the family in advance and compete with this king for talents?"
The matters discussed by the major families entered Qin Hao's ears word for word, making his face cold.
"A good Wang Xiao, he is indeed a talent, but unfortunately he can't be used by me"
I have to say that these three plans, except for the first one, have no technical content, although the second and third plans seem simple, they are all fatal, and the slightest carelessness can force Qin Hao into a corner.
"But it's a pity that you don't know much about this king" Qin Hao sneered, then looked at Wei Zhongxian and asked, "How did the matter that this king asked you to investigate?"
"Enlightening the Lord" Wei Zhongxian said, "Most of them are almost the same, and there are still some details that have not been clarified."
"No matter what, before tomorrow morning, we must figure out all the ins and outs," Qin Hao instructed, "In addition, Wang Jiufeng will also be added to the list."
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he even lowered his head.
