Chapter 379 - Hole Cards Out (I)
"......" looked at the information in his hand, and Zhao Min was speechless. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Your Highness, as soon as Dong Zhengshan dies, it means that Chen, He, Mo, and Yu have officially become the sworn enemies of the 'Shanchuan Hall'!" Zhang Wuji, who was standing below, arched his hand and said respectfully, "If the minister guessed correctly, there will be turmoil in the territory occupied by the 'Shanchuan Hall' next!"
"Your Majesty, why don't we contact the four families of Chen, He, Mo, and Yu?" one of the subordinates below stood up and said respectfully, "The ancestor of the 'Shanchuan Hall' before, Ruimu Eagle pretended to be obedient to His Majesty, but he was not a minister, he did not pay tribute, and he was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the northwest! He was called a subordinate, but in fact he was a rebel of an independent party! If we take this opportunity to ......"
"No!" Zhang Wuji immediately shouted to stop, "Your Majesty, although the four families of Chen, He, Mo, and Yu can cholera in the northwest, their power is still too poor!
"In addition, the family is greedy, only for their own selfish interests, and never cares about the world!" Zhang Wuji said to Zhao Min respectfully, "If Your Majesty wants to conquer the four seas and revitalize the mountains and rivers, this family must be a stumbling block!
"Master Zhang!" the subordinate looked at Zhang Wuji coldly, "Aren't you worried that after the four families are submissive, your status will decline, so that you can belittle them?!"
"Hmph!" Hearing this, Zhang Wuji glared at the other party angrily, and snorted coldly, "Zhang is for His Majesty's consideration! Lord Liu should not frame Zhang!"
"Heh, what a loyal man!" the minister surnamed Liu sneered, "If Lord Zhang is a loyal minister, why don't you be loyal to the Ye family?!"
"You ......"
"Okay!" Just when the two of them were arguing, Zhao Min spoke up to stop the two from arguing, "Zhang Wuji is right, I really can't recruit Chen, He, Mo, and Yu, although they are powerful, they can't be used by me, don't mention this matter!"
"In addition!" Zhao Min looked at the minister surnamed Liu and said lightly, "Liu He, Zhang Wuji's loyalty is clear! At the beginning, the Ye family had no leader, and the remaining people were neither virtuous nor hopeless, and Zhang Wuji's abandonment of secretly surrendering to the Ming was a handsome act!
"Obey!" Liu He suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and said respectfully.
"Okay! you guys stand down, Lin Yue, Zhang Ling, and Zhang Wuji stay!" Zhao Min waved his hand and dissolved the meeting.
Although Zhao Min ascended the throne as the emperor, considering that the Zijin Empire was in turmoil, there were not many places under his actual control, and there were not many capable people under his command, so naturally he did not set up any specific official positions for his subordinates!
"Hmph! Before this is done, the infighting will begin!" After everyone left, Zhang Ling, who had been standing on the side, looked at the backs of those subordinates who were far away, and snorted coldly.
"Giggles......" Lin Yuejiao laughed a few times, and said in a flattering manner, "People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves! These people only see the one acre and three points of land in front of them, how can they have any great ambitions! In their eyes, the title status at this moment is the most important!"
"This is also the reason why, although I ascended the throne as the emperor, I never set up an official position!" Zhao Min's face was a little unsightly, "It is really a loss of identity to let these corpse vegetarian things be named high-ranking officials!"
"Zhang Wuji, do you have any complaints?!" Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji and asked indifferently.
"The minister doesn't dare!" Zhang Wuji smiled indifferently, "When the minister was under the Ye family, it was commonplace at this time! The minister knew that as long as he was loyal to His Majesty, His Majesty would definitely not be confused by the villain!"
"Oh?" Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji and nodded, "That's right! At the beginning, you were the only one in the 'Blue Dragon Gang', Ye Zhengxiong, and you were a loyal and good general! If it weren't for Ye Zhengxiong's death, you would have no owner to be loyal, and you would definitely not serve me!"
"......." Zhang Wuji did not speak. This is a fact, and there is no need for him to justify anything.
"Okay! What do you think about this matter?" Zhao Min didn't plan to continue talking about this topic, but continued to ask, "This Chen, He, Mo, and Yu families spent a lot of money on the 'Tsing Yi Building' to ambush Dong Zhengshan, and succeeded! Are there any other conspiracy in this?"
"My subordinates don't know what His Majesty meant by the conspiracy?!" Zhang Wuji asked as he looked at Zhao Min pretending to be ignorant.
"Let's say it. Zhao Min pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "I have always suspected that the 'Tsing Yi Building' belongs to a certain force, and Xiao Feng is just a puppet on the surface!
"Your Majesty. Zhang Wuji looked at the other party and said respectfully, "From the information obtained, we know that the Mo family of the four families has indeed found Bai Yutang, the deputy owner of the 'Tsing Yi Building', and there is indeed a large amount of money and materials before and after the incident! Judging from the whole process, the matter of Chen, He, Mo, and Yu entrusting the 'Tsing Yi Building' to assassinate Dong Zhengshan should be true!"
"As for whether this 'Tsing Yi Building' belongs to a certain force, I have not gotten any clues about this matter for the time being! I don't know if Your Majesty has any clues, you can inform the minister, and the minister will definitely investigate this matter strictly!"
"Xiao Feng, the minister was fortunate to meet him at the beginning!" Zhang Wuji paused and continued, "This person is arrogant and heroic, and he is a rare person in the world! If this person is allowed to be a puppet, it is not something that ordinary people can do!"
"......" Zhao Min sighed, "This matter is just my conjecture all along, and there are no clues and evidence!"
"This ......" Zhang Wuji smiled bitterly, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Okay! Give up now!" Zhao Min waved his hand and continued, "Dong Zhengshan was assassinated, what should we do next?"
"Chen thinks, send someone to condole!" Zhang Wuji immediately said, "Chen, He, Mo, and Yu are not enough to make a difference, it is better to use this matter to increase our relationship in the 'Shanchuan Hall', even if we can't let the other party use each other for me, at least we can enhance the relationship!"
"I'll leave this matter to you!" Zhao Min nodded and commanded.
"Obey the order!" Zhang Wuji immediately bowed down and accepted the order.
=====================================================================
"The world is in chaos!" Gongsun Yu sighed, a worried look on his face.
In less than a year, the 'Green Dragon Gang' disappeared, the Ye clan was almost wiped out, and the two generations of the 'Shanchuan Hall' hall masters were assassinated, which really made Gongsun Yu feel very nervous!
When the Huangpu clan was wiped out, Gongsun Yu didn't think much of it.
After all, the Huangpu clan has been weak for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it perishes!
But the 'Blue Dragon Gang' and the 'Shanchuan Tang' are not! Although they have their own problems, they are not the rootless winners and weaknesses of the Huangpu clan!
Ye Qingyang and Ruimu Eagle are well-known supreme grandmasters, in the past, they could save the danger by themselves!
But now, the 'Shanchuan Hall' where Ruimu Eagle is sitting has two hall masters, and the northwest is about to fall into chaos! And Ye Qingyang is simply the same, the Ye clan is also extinct, and the 'Green Dragon Gang' is divided!
This is a chaos that Gongsun Yu has never seen before!
Based on this, it can be inferred that his Gongsun clan is probably not as safe as he thought before, and I am even afraid that the next one to fall into danger is his Gongsun clan!
"I've seen my father-in-law!" Just as Gongsun Yu was deep in thought, Yuan Suiyun walked in from outside.
Since Yuan Suiyun became Gongsun Yu's son-in-law, he was not as lifted by Gongsun Yu as before!
Unlike the previous reuse, Yuan Suiyun was sent to the barren land early, and he has not presided over important matters for a long time.
This is because Gongsun Yu feels that no one among his children can surpass Yuan Suiyun in talent!
As a patriarch, Gongsun Yu should not only pay attention to the development of the family, but also pay attention to the inheritance of the family!
Among the children of the new generation now, whether it is intelligence, ability or martial arts, don't say that they have found someone who is better than Yuan Suiyun, but there is no one who is about the same!
In this way, Gongsun Yu was a little worried!
It's okay when I'm alive, I can suppress Yuan Suiyun, if I have any accidents, if Yuan Suiyun grasps the power of the Gongsun clan, it will inevitably cause a situation where the ministers are strong and the lords are weak!
At that time, I really don't know what will happen to this Gongsun clan!
After all, Yuan Suiyun was a member of the Gongsun family, and his child was also surnamed Gongsun!
Once Yuan Suiyun has any ideas, and finally causes the main vein of the Gongsun clan to win and weaken, his side branch is strong, and if he doesn't get it, he will replace it in the end!
Once that time comes, considering the inheritance of the family, the ancestor who has lived in seclusion will not say anything! After all, the children of Yuan Suiyun also belong to the Gongsun clan, don't they?!
In this case, Gongsun Yu doesn't want to see it!
People are selfish, and who doesn't want the best for their children and grandchildren?
Although the children of Yuan Suiyun can be regarded as descendants of their own bloodline, after all, they are only grandsons, and they must not be regarded as the closest relatives!
Therefore, in order to prevent the possible Li Dai Tao stiffness in the future, Gongsun Yu gradually began to alienate Yuan Suiyun and even squeeze out the other party's power center!
And what about Yuan Suiyun?
It seems that he doesn't care about any power, and after leaving the core of power, he honestly lives with his wife and son, and lives a very leisurely life!
In Yuan Suiyun's body, I can't see a little decadence because he is not reused, and there is no resentment of being backward next to power!
It's a pity that Gongsun Yu didn't find a person from his son who could replace Yuan Suiyun! Whether it is vision, wisdom, means, or martial arts, there is a big difference!
Faced with such a situation, Gongsun Yu had to get back this son-in-law who had been excluded by himself to help him cope with the future!
"You're here. Gongsun Yu looked at Yuan Suiyun, his heart was full of emotion, and he sighed and said, "You already know, right?"
"Yes. Yuan Suiyun nodded, "The Ye clan was exterminated, the 'Green Dragon Gang' was divided, the Supreme Grandmaster Ye Qingyang was missing, suspected to be assassinated, and the 'Shanchuan Hall' was in civil strife, and the two hall masters were assassinated......"
"Looks like you know everything. Gongsun Yu looked at Yuan Suiyun and said pointedly.
"I'm just blind, but I'm not deaf!" Yuan Suiyun smiled slightly, and didn't seem to care about the meaning of Gongsun Yu's words, "In the past few years, I have nothing to do, and listening to some things about the rivers and lakes has become a bit of fun!"
"Now that you understand everything, what do you think our Gongsun clan should do?" Gongsun Yu looked at Yuan Suiyun and asked in a deep voice.
"It's time to invite the Ancestor out of the mountain!" Yuan Suiyun looked calm, but said something that shocked Gongsun Yu even more.
The ancestor of the Gongsun clan is also the biggest supporter and backer of the Gongsun clan.
Unlike the 'Heavenly General' Zhang Zhuofan, the 'Blood General' Ruimu Eagle and the 'Ghost General' Ye Qingyang, the ancestor of the Gongsun clan has never had any fame in the rivers and lakes! Even before he became a supreme grandmaster, he was not very valued in the Gongsun family!
In terms of generation, Gongsun Gu is the ancestor of Gongsun Yu, and he is the oldest and oldest clansman in the existing Gongsun clan!
When he was young, Gongsun Jiu's qualifications were not the best, and he was not very smart, and he was in a lower middle position among his peers.
Not only that, Gongsun Jiu's mother is a concubine, and without the support of his mother's family, he has no good resources to help.
However, like many protagonist-type people, Gongsun Jiu had excellent luck, and once again in an almost lifeless operation, he was rescued by a senior who was seriously injured and dying, and was finally accepted as a disciple by the other party.
After more than ten years, Gongsun Jiu, who returned to the Gongsun family, became a high-status figure in the Gongsun family by virtue of the strength of the peak of the great grandmaster!
It's just that because of the lack of attention before, and the fact that his mother died of hard work during the more than ten years he studied art, that Gongsun Jiu had a great grudge against the Gongsun family! If it weren't for the fact that the patriarch of the year executed his mother in front of him in order to save him, Gongsun Jiu would probably have become the enemy of the Gongsun family!
It's just that even so, Gongsun Jiu was always unwilling to serve the Gongsun clan, and only promised to help the Gongsun clan when it encountered a crisis!
This is also one of the reasons why Gongsun Yu excluded Yuan Suiyun before!
The ancestor of Gongsun Gu doesn't care about the bloodline of the Gongsun clan at all! The inheritance of the lineage is also a inheritance, and the replacement of the collateral line is also a inheritance, and Gongsun Gu doesn't care at all! As long as the Gongsun family does not die, he will not care about the rest at all!
Originally, Gongsun Yu didn't think about asking this ancestor to be born at all, but he didn't want Yuan Suiyun to come back and the first suggestion was like this!
"Father-in-law, the world is already in turmoil!My Gongsun clan is facing too many threats!" Yuan Suiyun paused, and then said, "If you want to take the Ye clan, even if you have Ye Qingyang, the supreme great master, it is inevitable that the dead clan will be wiped out, if my Gongsun clan doesn't show its fangs again, I'm afraid the opponent will attack us immediately!"
"Why don't you invite the ancestor out and let the world know that my Gongsun's hole cards!
