Late at night. With-Dream- . lā

The day's carnival has passed, and every household in Linzi City has fallen asleep.

The council hall in the back house is still brightly lit.

Hou Jun sat on the main seat, listening to the report of the generals below on the situation in Linzi City today, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes from time to time.

On the seats on both sides, there are the patriarchs of the major families in Linzi who are close to the Hou family, as well as the staff of the disciples who are snare by Hou Jun.

After listening to the general's report, Hou Jun has not yet expressed his position, and the whole council hall has started to discuss.

Chun Yuyi was holding a white gauze on the top of his head, his hair was scattered, and the blood on his forehead was seeping into the gauze, looking extremely miserable, he said angrily: "Qi Yu, this kid is too cunning, he just took advantage of the fact that we have not dispersed during the day, and took the opportunity to stir up the wind and rain in Linzi City, and tied all the people to his camp, so as to achieve his ulterior purpose, it is really his heart!"

Hou Jun glanced at everyone and saw that they were all scolding angrily, but no one put forward the slightest constructive opinion, so he couldn't help but sink his face, wiped the thinning hair on the top of his head with a headache, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zong's greeting post is here, why don't you see him?"

Tan Qiming, the patriarch of the Tan family, said suspiciously: "On the way back from the dispersal of the party, I saw Uncle Zong's carriage passing by, and I don't know what happened. ”

Hou Jun pressed the irritability in his heart and said slowly: "You have also seen that the Qi family is prepared this time, if this imperial examination system is really implemented in my Daqi, it will damage the interests of all of us here." Hou Moucai, I invite you to come here today just to discuss how we should deal with the conspiracy of the Qi family this time!"

Hou Jun pushed the matter of the imperial examination system to the conspiracy of the Qi family in one sentence.

...

Jiefu.

The candle flame in the study was flickering and flickering, Xie Zheng sat firmly behind the bookcase, closed his eyes, and flashed in his mind the scenes that happened on the court today, especially all the demeanors and reactions of Tian Dan.

After a long time, Xie Zhengqing opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes flashed, he got up and walked out of the study, called the servant, and came to the door of Xie Ziyuan's bedroom.

Quietly in the courtyard, a big lock was hung on the door, locking the door of Xie Ziyuan's bedroom, Xie Zhengqing ordered someone to open the door lock, and walked into Xie Ziyuan's bedroom alone.

Yesterday, when he came back from the good family, Xie Zhengqing locked Xie Ziyuan in confinement, except for every meal that someone sent in to eat, Xie Ziyuan was not allowed to step out of his bedroom.

The bedroom was quiet, and there was no light, Xie Zhengqing stretched out his hand to light the candlelight, and the bright light illuminated the surroundings, and Xie Ziyuan's figure was not seen outside the bedroom.

Xie Zhengqing walked into the inner room with the candlestick, looked around, bypassed the screen, and lifted the bed curtain, still not looking at Ziyuan.

Xie Zhengqing's face sank, and he was about to leave the bedroom, but when he turned his head, he saw a shadow behind the side of the bed.

Xie Zhengqing's face changed, and he held the candlestick and shone it over, and found that the shadow was actually his son!

Xie Ziyuan just shrunk his body like this, huddled in the corner behind the bed, didn't say a word, lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, and didn't know if he was asleep.

As if he had found the candlelight, Xie Ziyuan raised his head blankly, revealing a haggard face, he glanced at his father, opened his mouth, but he couldn't even make a sound.

Xie Zhengqing had mixed feelings in his heart, hating his son for being so useless, and inevitably feeling a little distressed.

"Father...... Father ......" Xie Ziyuan took a few long breaths, and finally made a dry sound, but his eyes were still blank and blank.

Xie Zhengqing shook his head, not wanting to look at his son like this, turned around and turned his back to Xie Ziyuan.

The faint candle light was blocked by Xie Zhengqing's body, and the corner where Xie Ziyuan was fell into darkness again, and Xie Ziyuan was about to lower his head when he heard his father's voice coming coldly:

"If you still want to cheer up, there is something related to Qi Yu that your father wants to hand over to you, if it is done...... In the future, you may still have a chance to surpass Qi Yu!"

Xie Ziyuan was stunned, and raised his head inch by inch in disbelief to look at his father's tall figure hidden deep in the darkness.

Ling ...... Above Qi Yu?"

In Xie Ziyuan's dazed eyes, the divine light began to slowly condense little by little!

"Whether you want to be depressed or not, think about it yourself!"

Xie Zhengqing looked back at his son for the last time, threw down this sentence, and was about to leave.

"Father...... Father!"

Xie Ziyuan hurriedly shouted, trembling his already numb legs, leaning against the corner of the wall with difficulty, and slowly stood up, his eyes began to become firm and persistent.

"Please...... Father taught me!"

...

...

Houjia Chamber.

When the guests present heard this, they began to talk to each other.

Zou Zheng was about to speak, but Hou Jun gave him a look and slowly shook his head.

At this time, the doorman outside the gate of the council hall finally sang a promise: "Master Zongbo has arrived!"

The chamber was quiet when it was neutral, Tian Ping represented the Tian clan, and the faction of the Hou family has always been not close, and today suddenly gave a message to the Hou family, and I don't know what the road is!

However, many people thought of the conflict between Zong Bo Tian Ping and Qi Yu in today's dynasty, and they were a little expecting that the Tian clan might be able to join their camp.

A hint of joy flashed on Hou Jun's face, and he got up and said, "Everyone, follow me to greet Master Zongbo!"

Seeing that Hou Jun took the lead to welcome out of the door of the council hall, the guests followed one after another, and Tian Ping, who was supported by Hou Sheng, with a pale face and trembling walking, entered the council hall.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Tian Ping's face was pale, his legs were weak, he was holding a crutch in his hand, and he could barely walk in by relying on the back victory, Tian Cang followed behind Tian Ping, his face was gloomy and indignant.

"Master Zongbo, but you're not feeling well?" Hou Jun took over the support work from his son, personally helped Tian Ping to the guest of honor, and asked with a very concerned expression.

Tian Ping sat down with difficulty, leaned his crutches on his seat, coughed heavily, waved his hand vigorously, and said angrily: "Lord Hou, the old man's body is fine! The old man came here today just to discuss with you how to deal with this damn imperial examination system!"

Everyone immediately began to turn their heads and nodded.

Hou Jun's eyes flashed, he sighed deliberately, pretended to be worried, shook his head and said, "Master Zongbo, the Qi family is powerful, this matter is not easy to handle!"

As soon as these provocative words came out, Tian Ping's long-accumulated anger was completely stimulated.

Tian Ping slapped the table case angrily, and said angrily: "This Daqi is the world of my Tian family, not the world of his Qi family, and now Qi Yu is going to give away the official position I am waiting for, and it is all in this place, what else is it difficult to do!"

Hou Jun smiled secretly in his heart, but sat back in his seat with a heavy face, and at the same time secretly gave Zou Zheng a color.

Hou Sheng stood honestly behind his father.

Zou Zheng received the instructions of the lord, and hurriedly said loudly: "The Lai people are not my race, and the thief is not dead, behind the imperial examination system proposed by Qi Yu this time, there must be a deep conspiracy of the Qi family and the Lai people!

Zou Zheng pushed the matter of the imperial examination system to the conspiracy of the Lai people in one sentence, and characterized the imperial examination system as a common conspiracy of the Qi family and the Lai people, and raised the dispute to the national dispute of Qilai, and the guests present were in an uproar when they heard this.

Hou Jun was secretly pleased, although Zou Zheng had lost his face on the court today, which made him very unhappy, but after all, this person still knew Hou Jun's thoughts.
