Chapter 35: The Imperial Council
After a long while, the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, and three figures were gradually revealed, and Sun Ruyun and others, who were already waiting outside, immediately rushed forward to catch the three bodies that fell, Sun Ruyun caught Jiang Lei's body full of scars, and cried: "Lord Wang, are you okay, are you okay! Don't scare the concubine!"
Jiang Lei woke up slowly, grabbed Sun Ruyun's hand and said, "This king is fine, the princess is worried", and then said in a low voice: "Don't cry, so many people are watching, won't you lose the majesty of the princess?" Sun Ruyun saw that Jiang Lei was really fine, and he would joke, so he was relieved. Jiang Lei turned his head and asked again, "How are the two elders?"
"The two of us are fine, but the head of the Lao family bothered," one of the elders said.
Jiang Lei agreed, then looked at the gourd-shaped magic weapon that had been shattered in his hand, and said silently: "This imitation of the 'Seed Thunder Gourd' has such power, not only can it protect the three of us from being seriously injured in the self-explosion of the 'Moon Swallowing Great Array' and six monks of the same level, but also has the remaining strength to seriously injure a master, so that he has to flee with the Yuan Shen, then the Jiang family's treasure, the real 'Seed Thunder Gourd' and the legendary Immortal Treasure Treasure, the prototype of the Seed Thunder Gourd, what kind of power should the 'Xuantian Seed Thunder Gourd' have?"
Everyone packed up, and then they didn't dare to delay any longer, so they immediately went on the road, and went directly south to Jiangzhou, the base camp of the Jiang family.
This Jiangzhou is the land that was given to the ancestors of the Jiang family at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, like the other three major families, Jiangzhou is completely controlled by the Jiang family, and there is a remnant of the ancient Ten Thousand Demon Mountains here, although the place is not large, but it is enough to cross Jiangzhou, which also causes the people here to be fierce, so the Jiang family's private army is the largest number and the best quality among the four major families. Therefore, the Jiang family has always been the most solid backing of the four great families, and it has never been struck through, and this time, this shield will undergo the biggest test since its birth! The soldiers and civilians of Jiangzhou are still practicing and living in an orderly manner, and they do not feel that a huge catastrophe affecting the world is brewing and fermenting, and it will shock and poison the world at any time!
After Jiang Lei entered the Jiang family's Zhennan Wangfu in Jiangzhou, he began to rush to transmit the news to the four major families, but the four major families were ambushed in the process of retreating, and many elites died.
The intelligence networks of the major families also began to spread on a large scale, and the rebellion and persuasion of various states also followed, and the smoke of war began to permeate the sky over the Great Xia Empire, not only lingering, but also getting thicker and thicker.
And at this moment, another thing happened in the capital that decided the fate of the world.
Forbidden City, Taiji Palace
The emperor was angry that the Yu family dared to assassinate the crown prince, so he decided to discuss the matter in the Taiji Palace, announced the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and at the same time mobilized the army to attack the family station, but at this time Xuanyuan Yu had reached the peak of anger, not only the three major families fled to Beijing, but even the Yu family, who had defected to the royal family a few days ago, also fled! The situation became more and more complicated and changeable, and Xuanyuan Yu became more and more angry and uneasy in his heart.
"Ministers, on the matter of withdrawing the feudal domain, you can express your opinions!" Xuanyuan Yu looked at the pillars of the country in front of him, and couldn't help but hold back his anger.
"Minister, Dongfang Ming, there is a book!" "The first assistant of the cabinet, Dongfang Ming is the first to come out, this is not only a rule, but also to set a tone for the courtiers in the future, so as not to make trouble, but unfortunately today's chaos is undoubted!
"Speak!"
"The minister thinks that the matter of withdrawing the feudal domain should be cautious and cautious, if it is not handled carefully, the legacy of the millennium is still secondary, the country's fortunes are declining, and the people of the world are in misery, if the leading country takes the opportunity to attack, one is not good, but it will ruin the ancestors! Therefore, the minister does not dare to seconded the matter of withdrawing the feudal domain, besides, the reason for the emperor's withdrawal of the feudal domain is the matter of the prince and concubine, because of personal feelings and obstruction of the ceremony, the teacher is unknown, how to convince the people of the world?
Moreover, the withdrawal of the feudal domain was a temporary idea, the food, grass, soldiers and horses could not be prepared, the four great families had been operating in the imperial court for many years, and the imperial court had almost no secrets in front of time.
Although the power of the imperial court to raise the whole country is bound to be far superior to that of the four great families, the war situation is changeable, the situation in the world is turbulent, unpredictable, and the minister dares to ask the emperor to withdraw his order, even if he wants to withdraw the domain, he must wait until the court is fully prepared before withdrawing the domain. "Dongfang Ming, as the head of the empire, should be the most supportive of the emperor, but he actually said such a thing, which really made the courtiers in the list in an uproar.
Xuanyuan Yu sat on the dragon chair and was silent, but anyone who looked at it knew that Xuanyuan Yu was on the verge of rage at this time, but before he could explode, a shrewd minister had already jumped out.
"The ministers and grandsons do not dare to agree with the high arguments of the first assistant, the ministers think that while the family is not stable, the court should immediately send out the army, and the family is caught off guard, although the family also has a lot of private troops on weekdays, but to say that compared with the army of the imperial court, it is still much worse, if the family is given enough time, it is not beautiful, they will recruit soldiers in a very short time, and then it will be much trickier. "The second assistant of the cabinet, Sun Shang doesn't seem to be on the same path as Dongfang Ming, so he jumped out to oppose it first.
Xuanyuan Yu's anger eased a little when he heard this, and said: "The military department, the master of the withdrawal of the feudal domain is using troops, what does your military department mean?"
Although the military department has long been aware of the withdrawal of the feudal domain, the military department has also discussed the withdrawal of the feudal domain countless times, and basically the battle plan has been taken out, but now the first assistant Dongfang Ming was born out of thin air, and he actually opposed the withdrawal of the feudal domain, which can make him anxious enough, and he groaned slightly, and said: "The military department is the place where the soldiers of the world are in charge, and it should be planned for the use of troops, but the withdrawal of the feudal domain is a big matter, and the ministers dare not make theories, but if the emperor decides to withdraw the feudal domain, the officials under the jurisdiction of the various departments of the military department, Soldiers, they must obey the emperor's orders and move forward!"
"Hmph! You're very slippery!But if I want your military department to come up with a charter, you can tell me whether to withdraw the feudal domain or not!" Xuanyuan Yu seemed to have lost the anger just now, but between his words, it was already murderous, and everyone knew his determination, and they all looked at each other and lost color.
When the secretary of the military department was shocked, before he could reply, he only heard a sentence coming out of the oblique ground, and all the courtiers were very angry when they heard it.
