Chapter 240 – Proposed Beheading
“…… The Western Qin Army has actually long been different from what it used to be, without a soul figure to sit in the town, your third uncle was lucky enough to escape back in the battle of the Kunxu Demon that year, but he was severely injured and couldn’t walk into the army for a long time, the hearts of the army were in turmoil, and the battle power was greatly reduced!”
Jiang Yong’s words continue, “Your mother just happened to be poisonous compulsion outbreak, coupled with the news of the great defeat of the Western Qin army the court knows the first time, at this time to take advantage of the opportunity to take action to injure or decapitate your grandmother and me, Jiang’s what else is there?
Only a group of widows and widowers and your brothers and sisters, which for those people, it is really easy to destroy!
The court can be said to have achieved three things in one, the extermination of the Jiang clan, the destruction of the Western Qin army, a big sigh of relief, the emperor can also sleep soundly!
This is not sudden at all, the timing is too skillful nevertheless!”
Xin Zhuo hesitantly asked, “What tangible and effective benefits can they gain from this willful approach? The three states and eighteen prefectures of the Western Qin land are in a state of devastation, and tens of millions of people have been displaced, is that something they would like to see?”
“Isn’t the benefit of destroying the Western Qin Army enough?”
Jiang Yong turned around and gave him a surprised look: “And what does this matter have to do with the people? The world is the world of emperors and ministers, it is the world of the great families, the people can regenerate when they are gone, they can be relocated, what is not lacking under the sky is the people, even if the land is gone, it can be fought back again, in the future you must not say such nonsense in private!”
“……”
Xin Zhuo frowned, is this how the nobles of this world think? Even his own uncle thinks so?
Chest suddenly a little blocked panic, he felt that he …… is also a member of the common people, never, empathy is very deep.
“Another accident!” Jiang Yong suddenly looked out the window.
“See what’s going on, it can’t be worse!”
Xin Zhuo naturally noticed the people rushing in the distance, and there was more than one person.
“Thump thump thump ……”
Soon a group of hurried footsteps arrived at the tower, and a purple-robed official in his sixties forced himself to hold back his panic, clasping his fists and saluting: “My humble servant, the Grand Secretary of the Caixuan Division, Jiang Li, has an urgent matter to report to the Shizi!”
“…… say!”
Xin Zhuo heard the intense fear and uneasiness from this person’s demeanor and tone, and his heart could not help but also develop a hint of a bad premonition.
That official Jiang Li said in a trembling voice: “During the midday court, the left minister of the Great Pillar State, Linghu Pi, the king of Nanling, Ji Xiaowei, the king of Mengyang County, Ji Wu’an, the great general of the Divine Strategies Army, Tuoba Kui, the general of the Ministry of the Army, Lv Zhizhong, and the right servant of the Shangshu, Song Gui, jointly wrote to His Majesty, stating that the Western Qin army is not favorable to the war, and that the years of court’s nurturing has been in vain, making the country fall into the hands of the foreigners, and displacing hundreds of trillions of people!
They also listed the 36 crimes of the Jiang family, saying that they are extravagant, corrupt, lawless, bullying, killing people, disregarding imperial power, defying the monarch, etc. They proposed to behead the actual head of the contemporary Jiang family, Jiang Yuqing, and also proposed to deprive the Jiang family of all their seals and titles, and to copy the family, and banish the whole family to the bitter cold land of the North Sea!”
Holy shit! There is no worse, only worse!
Xin Zhuo froze.
“Lend a hand and eat ugly!” Jiang Yong’s body trembled and staggered as he was about to stand up.
“Uncle Ancestor do not move!”
Xin Zhuo pressed him down and questioned the window in a deep voice: “Where are the subjects under the Jiang family? Where are the friends and acquaintances?”
The official under the tower sighed a long sigh: “The right chancellor Feng Suhu kept silent, the Caixuan Division supervisor Ling Xuwei, the middle chancellor Liu Guangshi, the Shangshu Left Servant Li Wanchuan, the Tianwu army general Yuan Yi, strongly opposed, stating that the Jiang family is an imperial relative, generations of ancestors were loyal to the affairs of the state, full of loyalty and martyrdom …… “
“What about the emperor’s thoughts?”
Xin Zhuo rubbed his brow, a good mystery, martial arts, Jianghu, spirited, stirring shit everywhere how interesting, how did he stir into this shit like the courtroom?
That official’s voice trembled badly: “The Son of Heaven intends to favor the Left Minister, Linghu Pi! But no order has been given yet!”
“Thank you sir, you go back first, send the news back at any time, if Jiang passes this hurdle, he will definitely not treat you poorly!”
The official saluted and hurriedly left, and the tower was quiet again.
“Does Uncle Ancestor have any ideas?” Xin Zhuo still renewed Jiang Yong’s meridians and asked softly. After saying that, he regretted a little, Jiang Yong was a pure martial artist, his world only had the martial realm and martial arts, and the treacherous clouds of the imperial court had nothing to do with his intellect as well, at the moment his true qi was even more disorganized, and his blood qi was rising mischievously, which had a great impact on the recovery of his injuries.
“A casual question, no harm done! I have a way, Uncle Ancestor and rest assured!”
Xin Zhuo breathed out, his hand speeding up, thirty-two needles pulled up at the same time, flying and spinning, stabbing into other meridian points again.
……
From the “venerable pagoda” out, already is the sunset, Jiang family maids, servants are still there, only the continuous building building, has never been depressed and despondent.
In the front yard, county princess Jiang Huan’s funeral hall has been properly arranged, eighteen Jiang Clan branch family heads have also arrived, Zheng Guo Chang Princess group of people are now much calmer, is accompanied by, discuss countermeasures.
The matter of the court has not yet reached here, or the Jiang family’s inherent mechanism, the old Taijun is not here, naturally, everything will be dominated by the world’s son, the news of that Ce Xuan Division’s Grand Secretary has only reported to Xin Zhuo.
Seeing Xin Zhuo come, all of them stood up and signaled: “World Son!”
Xin Zhuo nodded and sat at the main seat where the old Taijun had been sitting, looking around the crowd, he suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure, first looking at Li Yun, Uncle Ma and Cicada Yi.
The three of them saluted: “It has been done according to Shizi’s orders, everything is in order!”
Xin Zhuo looked at Zheng Guo’s eldest princess again, but saw the one day matured Jiang Yugei, calmly cupped his fists and said : “Brother, I went to His Majesty’s Zhen Sheng Hall with my aunt and reported His Majesty through the curtain, His Majesty’s word of mouth, the Chinese scholar He Wan’er drafted it, and posthumously named elder sister as the Princess of Western Qin and the Great General of Wuwei, the same as father, uncle and theirs, and accompanied them to be buried in Heavenly Authorized Emperor’s Valley Mausoleum! ”
The group of branch family heads showed looks of satisfaction, and each sighed in relief.
One of the older uncles looked at Xin Zhuo and said in a deep voice: “Jiang Huan’s funeral and mourning should be done with the princess’ specifications, but there is a precedent in the Jiang family that the daughter should not be stopped for a long time, and she should be buried tomorrow afternoon!”
Xin Zhuo walked down the steps of the bookcase, to the side of Jiang Huan’s body, placed her rough hands under the brocade cloth for her: “Yes!”
After thinking about it, he returned to the bookcase, penned a letter and handed it to Princess Beihai: “I heard that sister-in-law is acquainted with the Empress Dowager?”
Princess Bei Hai nodded her head: “I am eight years older than the Empress Dowager, I knew her when I was young, and I had corresponded with her some days ago.”
Xin Zhuo was silent for a moment: “Move immediately!”
He still clearly remembered that when Hui Rulan said that if she did not die, she promised herself benefits, now she can honor it, hopefully she keeps her promise to protect the Jiang family and blow the emperor’s pillow.
Princess Beihai hurriedly left the door and disappeared into the night with her maid.
Xin Zhuo again consider all the things, still no bottom, simply walk out the door: “Everyone these two days hard work, Cicada Yi, Zheng Guo eldest princess walk with me.”
Out of the door, Cicada Yi two people have already arrived behind, the three of them walked aimlessly along the corridor, just when Zheng Guo Elder Princess couldn’t help but open her mouth to ask, Xin Zhuo only said: “Cicada Yi, use all the power in the mansion, open one of the four gates, once the situation is not right, immediately take the masters of the mansion to escort the Yu Gui, the madam and the young ladies to leave for the Western Qin!
Auntie all princesses, when you arrive, you must not stay, you must not stay, carry the old Taijun and immediately go to the palace to seek shelter from the old imperial concubines!”
The two men’s faces changed drastically, the eldest princess of Zheng hissed and asked, “Have things come to this?”
Xin Zhuo was noncommittal and smiled : “Being prepared is not a problem, you can’t just recognize someone’s slaughter, can you?”
