Chapter 1 How much I can't help myself Chapter 22 Yuquan seals the mountain
Yuquan Mountain, autumn is strong, and the leaves are falling one after another.
With the removal of the four marshals, the four major families of Xuanhe have lost power. As for why these four families fell, except for the heads of the major wealthy families who were qualified to participate in the Yanshan Conference that day, others may never know.
The scope of the earthquake at the top of the imperial capital was beyond imagination, but it did not cause much movement.
After all, the four families of Gu, Jiang, Lei, and Ning have four marshals, and it is not impossible to set off a bigger storm with the power in their hands, but in the face of the inevitable defeat, it is the best result to be able to protect the four families at the cost of handing over the power in their hands, not to mention that all the family members at the Yanshan Conference promised not to announce the events of the year.
As long as they don't nail their four major families to the pillar of shame, they may not have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
The Zhou and Tang families presided over the Yanshan Conference, and it was these two old men who personally knocked the four major families into the dust, but after doing this, the two families not only did not touch the vacated positions of the four major families, but even vacated the two marshal seats and the three super high-ranking official positions that were originally in their hands.
When the attention of the outside world was focused on this series of big moves by the military and the government, the first wealthy family moved away from Yuquan Mountain.
The first to move away was not the Gu, Jiang, Lei, and Ning families, but the Zong family!
The Zong family, who moved out of Yuquan Mountain, was the first super wealthy family ever to enter Yanshan.
As the biggest beneficiary of the Yanshan Conference, the Zong family not only held four of the nine marshal seats, but also held three of the nine super high-ranking official positions in the hands of the Zong family. If this is the only point of view, the Zong family deserves to be the first wealthy family in the imperial capital.
After the Zong family, the Yi family, who held the two marshal seats, and the Xiang family, who occupied the positions of two super high-ranking officials, also moved out of Yuquan Mountain.
After these three families successively settled in Yanshan, other families moved from Yuquan Mountain to Yanshan.
In the end, the four major families who lost power moved away, but they did not move to Yanshan, but moved away from the imperial capital.
In just a few days, there were only two Zhou and Tang families left in Yuquan Mountain.
After that, Yuquan Mountain was officially closed.
Except for the few people who are in charge of the military and political power, no matter who they are, they are not allowed to climb the mountain without the consent of the Zhou and Tang families.
Maybe it won't be long before the world will forget the existence of these two families and Yuquan Mountain, but all the people who participated in the first Yanshan Conference will definitely not forget, including their families.
In fact, it is not necessarily true that the Zhou and Tang families completely withdrew from the core of power, the top wealthy families for hundreds of years have always been intertwined, and among the nine newly appointed marshals and nine super high-ranking officials, five of them have a direct marriage relationship with the Zhou and Tang families. As for how many people below can be related to the two families, even Zhou Ran is not clear.
Flowers are brocade, fire is cooking, standing tallest is often the easiest to fall to death!
The Zhou and Tang families began to give up their rights after the disappearance of Zhou Ran's parents, also because the two old people found that they had too many rights in their hands. The reason why this Yanshan Conference was able to unite other families and destroy the four major families in one fell swoop was not because the two old men made it clear in advance that the two families would no longer participate in the decision-making of rights in the future, and they would give up a big piece of cake.
Zhou Ran didn't know what happened at the Yanshan meeting, and he didn't really understand why the two old men were like this. But on the day of the closure of Yuquan Mountain, Guan Ren was very drunk, and the former commander of the Shenwei Battalion, who had always been strict with himself, pointed at the bottom of the mountain and scolded while drinking, especially those who had hoped to stay in Yuquan Mountain, I don't know how many times he scolded him.
At this time, the first general-level meeting of the new Ministry of Supervision was held, and the venue was Yanshan.
It has been three years since he became the chief instructor of the Blood Army, but today is the first time that Zhou Ran has worn this military uniform.
The fifteen-year-old boy wore a military uniform and resisted the rank of general, so he came to the outside of the Yanshan Military Conference Hall.
The guards standing on both sides of the gate almost saw Zhou Ran for the first time, and they decided that this bear child who didn't know which family ran out. But the guards were shocked when they saw the major general who was in charge of the reception of the meeting running out to greet him, saluting respectfully and calling him "chief" loudly.
The guards who could stand here had some family backgrounds, and they naturally heard that there would be many big names in the new Ministry of Supervision that they had never seen before, but they never expected that they would see nearly twenty generals in the morning, and most of them were unfamiliar faces.
What is even more terrifying now is that there is a general who looks like a high school student.
The two teams of guards who changed the guard gathered together, looked in the direction of the conference hall from afar, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who that one is?"
It's not that these people don't understand discipline, it's just that what we see today is too unbelievable.
After today, although the existence of the three mysterious forces will not be made public, anyone who sits in a certain position will know about it. The main generals of the three armies will inevitably be focused on by these people, and Zhou Ran, who is only fifteen years old, will definitely be focused on.
Fifteen-year-old admiral, I don't know how many people's glasses will be scared off!
If there was no Dingshi Zhu, if he hadn't encountered the ghost mist outbreak three years ago, fifteen-year-old Zhou Ran should have been able to reach the Guiyuan realm by now, but it was almost impossible to become the chief instructor of the Blood Army.
Under various coincidences, Zhou Ran sat in the position of chief instructor. Now that he has abolished Gu Shengxuan with his own hands, he should know almost everything, plus the Zhou and Tang families completely withdrew from the center of power after destroying the four major families, and he, as the chief instructor, can be regarded as sitting firmly and securely. It is no exaggeration to say that if anyone dares to question him at this time, he will definitely be attacked by a crowd.
In the conference hall, most of the seats were already seated.
After Zhou Ran entered the conference hall, everyone looked over. Even those who had heard about it in advance were shocked when they saw Zhou Ran, let alone those who didn't know.
Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of shocked or puzzled or jealous eyes, Zhou Ran came to the first row.
In the first row, there are only four seats.
At this general-level meeting, no one from the two departments of the Heavenly Stem and the Earth Branch came, so there were only two people who could sit in front of Zhou Ran, the head of the third department and Han Quanzhang, the commander of the Divine Guard Army.
"Hello, Instructor Zhou!"
The head of the third department is named Xiang Feibai, who looks no more than thirty years old, and he takes the initiative to stand up and stretch out his hand.
Zhou Ran saluted and said, "Hello to General!"
Xiang Feibai was taken aback by Zhou Ran's move, and immediately returned the salute, smiled and pointed to the seat on the right-hand side and said, "Sit down and say." ”
Sitting next to Zhou Ran was the wolf soldier Wang Zong Qingzhi, less than thirty years old but with a full beard and an extremely burly figure, he saw Zhou Ran sitting over, and said with a smile: "Instructor Zhou, let's try our skills after the meeting?"
Zhou Ran put the general's hat on the table and asked with a smile: "Why didn't the King of Zong Bing look for Commander Han?
"Commander Han?"
Hearing this, Zong Qingzhi clapped his hands violently, but he startled the people behind him, but no matter what the occasion was, he said in a loud voice: "If Instructor Zhou doesn't say it, I really almost forgot that Commander Han is now the commander of the Han army." ”
Zhou Ran and Zong Qingzhi have no friendship, but the two have a common enemy.
Yunchuan turned over in a dense cow, and it was not only the blood army that died, but also the wolf army.
Han Quanzhang sat on Xiang Feibai's left hand side, keeping his eyes closed and recuperating, when he heard what the two said, he immediately swept his eyes coldly and said, "If the two want to fight, Han should accompany him to the end." ”
Xiang Feibai flipped through the folder in his hand, but did not say anything to persuade him.
Xiang Feibai knew very well that the three people around him were only on temporary duty in the third department, and they belonged to the kind of people who listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement. The three mysterious forces have always been under the direct leadership of the military, and have no affiliation with him, the chief minister. In the future, he will ask that there will be no shortage of things for these three people, and it is best to be blind and deaf at this time.
"It's so lively!"
As the tension was blowing, a loud voice suddenly sounded.
In an instant, everyone in the room stood up.
An old man in an old-fashioned military uniform but no military rank walked in accompanied by two marshals, and before the man walked to the first row, his eyes swept over the faces of Han Quanzhang and Zong Qingzhi, and finally looked at Zhou Ran.
The surprise on Zhou Ran's face had not yet bloomed at home, and he was furious by the deep eyes of the old man, and he didn't dare to move.
Seeing this, the old general suddenly laughed, turned around and strode up to the rostrum, and sat in the middle seat.
"I didn't expect it to be me, an old man, sitting in this position, right?"
The old man's name is Feng Wanli, he is not tall, thin, and a little rickety, if he walks on the street, he will definitely be regarded as a bad old man picking up garbage. But when such an old man sat on the highest seat of the rostrum, Mo said that the more than ten generals in the Great Hall, even the two marshals who came in with him, did not dare to sit down.
"How could it be him?!"
Zhou Ran was indeed very surprised when he saw this person, but at this time, he was wailing in his heart, looking at all the high-ranking officials in the entire military, even if the nine marshals were counted, no one made him feel worried.
But in the face of this old man, he can't be afraid.
At this time, the people standing in this Great Hall were all general-level dignitaries, but most of the nearly 100 people under the general did not know who the old man sitting on the highest seat of the rostrum was. After all, there are two marshals standing behind this old man, and they are also the third and eighth marshals!
In fact, even if the first-ranked marshal was present, there was no place for him in front of Feng Wanli.
This veteran ruffian from an ordinary family has no children and no daughters all his life, and the old guy who admits death all his life has almost been a guard for Tang Qingchuan for a lifetime. And in the decades that Tang Qingchuan has held military power, he is the only one who dares to point at the nose of the commander of the three armed forces and scold him. is such a veteran ruffian who considers himself Tang Qingchuan's guard, and almost all the soldiers who have been trained are now in high positions.
No one may believe it when he says it, but the two marshals standing behind him at this time were all scolded and cried by him back then.
Since Jiazi, the Zhou family has been in power, the Tang family has military power, and people with a little brain also know that there is almost no possibility of marriage between these two top wealthy families, but Zhou Tianzong, the son of the Zhou family, and Tang Jingfeng, the daughter of the Tang family, are looking at each other. When the two families were strongly opposed, this bastard, who was obviously two rounds older than Zhou Tianzong but liked to call Zhou Tianzong brothers, directly locked the two of them in a room without saying a word, saying that they were not allowed to come out if they didn't get a child.
Then, there was Zhou Ran.
The Zhou and Tang families didn't expect this result at all, and before they could figure out how to deal with it, this bastard who was not afraid of big things when he saw the excitement publicized the whole thing, making everyone in the entire imperial capital know about it.
When Zhou Ran returned to Yuquan Mountain for the first time after joining the Blood Army, he heard that this old bastard didn't know why he angered his grandfather, and the two scolded each other for a day, and then this guy secretly rolled up and left that night. Since then, not only has the old guy not been seen again, but not even the slightest news has been heard.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Ran never imagined that he would be the family member of the new Ministry of Supervision.
Why did Zhou Ran have so many perverted methods to torture the Xuanjia team?
Isn't it because he's been trained like this since he was a child?
The veteran ruffian sat in a big position, Zhou Ran would not be better, and the others would not be better. If this old guy has a temper, even those two marshals will be scolded bloody.
While worrying about his future, Zhou Ran also had to admit that there was indeed no one in the entire military who was more suitable for this position than him.
