"He actually broke through to the rank of Military Prime Minister. He must be the first person in the Tang family in hundreds of years."
"It seems that taking refuge in King Jing will indeed bring a lot of benefits."
"But you still forgot what Emperor Taizu said."
"A slave who betrays his master will not die well."
Chu Qianqiu said with a smile, logically speaking, the head of the Tang family should be in the innate realm, and there has been no movement for many years.
At least according to the royal family, there is an unwritten rule for the eight royal merchants, that is, they are not allowed to try to break through the military minister.
Huangshang is the royal dog, and it is a dog that is even humbler than Six Doors.
The Tang family originally ran away from Guiyi Sect to start their own business, and relied on the institutions they studied in Guiyi Sect to become imperial merchants.
If the Shenwu Dynasty and Daxia had patent laws, then the two sides would have a heated discussion over who owns the patent rights for the Shenji Crossbow.
The Tang family will say that their ancestors invented the divine machine crossbow as early as when they were in Guiyi sect, which was a simplified design based on the Pojun crossbow.
The Guiyi Sect will think that the Tang family are shameful thieves.
In order to fight against the Guiyi Sect, the Tang family chose to rely on the imperial power and received a reward from Emperor Taizu, which was the Soul-Calling Sutra of the Siming Sect.
From then on, the Tang family became one of the royal minions and legitimate domestic slaves.
"Zhong, Lord Zhongwu, there must be some misunderstanding." Tunnel
The head of the Tang family was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He knew very well how the royal family treated their slaves. Emperor Taizu killed chickens to scare monkeys in order to warn the royal merchants.
You are just royal dogs. To be a dog, you need to know the word loyalty.
What is loyalty is unconditional obedience.
It doesn't matter if it's the Fan family, the Hai family, the Qian family, the Tang family, etc. It's the same.
In order to prevent these money bags from having their own ideas, the royal family made restrictions and did not allow them to break through the military minister.
If any force has a master of martial arts, its independence will be greatly strengthened.
It is understandable that the Tang family took refuge with King Jing for this reason.
"Misunderstanding?"
"In fact, it is natural for the Tang family to seek refuge with King Jing and get rid of the control of the royal family."
"You just stood on the opposite side of me."
"I can understand you."
Chu Qianqiu said comfortingly, and gently patted Tang Ning's shoulder.
The head of the Tang family was already trembling and fell to his knees, his teeth chattering.
Maybe the imperial court didn't want to offend the powerful military ministers because they could fly and run, but domestic slaves were not included in this category.
If the imperial court maliciously targets this kind of force, then all the major sects in the world may take action to protect them.
For example, if the imperial court persecutes the College of Arts and Sciences, other forces will secretly protect it, and the Six Gates may not be able to catch it even if they want to. Just like when Xiang Yu was in Chu, the administrative machinery of the Qin Dynasty was in vain.
But domestic slaves are different.
Once recognized by the imperial court, other sects and forces will never be able to protect him.
This is the hierarchical order of superiority and inferiority, which is subtle in people's hearts.
So Tangning knelt down tremblingly and had no choice but to kneel down.
"Lord Zhongwu, the Tang family has absolutely no intention of betraying Her Majesty the Queen." Tunnel
"It's all my fault."
Tangning's voice was very sad, and he decided to take full responsibility alone.
As long as he dies, the Tang family will still have a chance to survive even if they are expelled from the imperial business.
"Master Tang, let's go inside and talk."
Chu Qianqiu nodded.
He is not afraid of Tang Ning leaking the secret, because in this predatory game, the fate of the Tang family will not be much better than that of Xiangshan Temple. They are all forces that can be wiped out easily.
Although the Tang family is one of the eight imperial merchants, it is indeed a force that can be wiped out for Chu Qianqiu now, but the price is not small and needs to be handled with caution.
Fengyulou, secret room
Only Chu Qianqiu and the head of the Tang family were left in the whole room.
"Jing Shangshu has turned from darkness to light and became Her Majesty the Queen's weapon against King Jing."
Chu Qianqiu directly slapped a hat on Jing Shangshu.
At the same time, it gave the head of the Tang family a little shock. If something happened to Shangshu Jing, the Tang family would not be able to escape either.
"It's just that Chu is still not sure whether this is Jing Shangshu's trick or a true surrender."
"So tell me exactly what happened." Tunnel
"If possible, I will record your meritorious service on your behalf and reduce the liability of the Tang family."
You only have two options.
Either turn from darkness to light and make amends, or become a sacrifice and be killed to scare the monkeys.
But to be honest, judging from the behavior of the Xiao family emperors, it is normal for them to want to rebel against thieves.
It would be abnormal not to be a rebel.
Therefore, Chu Qianqiu did not intend to use common methods such as excessive killing, genocide, and implicating the nine clans.
"Lord Zhongwu is compassionate."
"The entire Fengzhou has heard of your reputation."
When Tangning heard this, she said bitterly.
Jing Yulong has rebelled against King Jing, so what hope is there for victory?
He seemed to have lost all courage and will and began to explain the ins and outs of the matter.
"The royal family has always restricted the development scale of royal merchants, and can deprive them arbitrarily as long as necessary."
"There have always been people in the Tang family who wanted to secretly break through to the Prime Minister. As long as no one knows about it, that's fine."
"Tell me the important point." Chu Qianqiu interrupted the Tang family's psychological process. He could understand this kind of rebellion, but he didn't intend to get too entangled.
"King Jing allows us that once he successfully ascends the throne, he will lift this restriction and allow the imperial merchants to further break through and break through the military minister."
"What did he ask you to do?"
"King Jing asked us to prepare weapons, so we fought against the Fan family on the [Exotic Gold] veins."
"Preparing weapons?"
"Does it mean that he has raised a large number of private soldiers and needs armed force?"
Chu Qianqiu frowned.
He really did not expect that the Tang family would be willing to send out a large number of experts to annihilate the Fan family to seize the mining rights of the [Extraordinary Gold] mine. This also involved King Jing's rebellion. Tunnel
This is also understandable. A large number of spiritual soldiers and armors can quickly improve the combat effectiveness of middle and lower-level officers. A master of energy storage who is armed to the teeth can also have a chance to kill a new innate warrior.
"I don't know."
"King Jing provided the secret book of the Sutra of Soul Capturing, as well as a secret method to break through the martial arts."
"What secret method?"
"Supreme initiation**!"
"Tang Mou witnessed the miracle, and then he was willing to seek refuge with King Jing."
Tangning said sadly in an incredulous tone.
The unique secret of Vajra Temple, the supreme initiation**.
It is said that during the heyday of Kongang Temple, there were Arhats in the temple who baptized warriors to increase their chances of breaking through to the rank of martial arts minister.
It is precisely because of this secret method that Vajra Temple is qualified to be called the second Buddhist temple.
With the support of King Kong Temple, King Jing had the confidence to confront the court.
"Is there another Arhat in the Vajra Temple?"
"If so, why haven't they made it public?"
Chu Qianqiu said with the same puzzlement, are they afraid of the Arhats from Maha Temple who will kill them?
