In the next few days, the entire capital of Da Qi was plunged into turmoil.
After Qin Batian returned powerfully, he immediately removed Qin Yuanxiong from his position as acting head of the family, and then handed over the position of acting head of the family to Qin Yuanzhi.
As for Qin Yuanxiong, he was punished to take charge of some minor affairs of the family, which meant that he completely lost his power.
The status of some elders of the Qin family has also changed drastically. Some elders of the same generation as Qin Yuanxiong have been directly deprived of their elder duties and are no longer involved in any family affairs. They only need to plant grass and raise flowers every day.
Regarding this, many elders of the Qin family were trembling with fear and did not dare to speak.
If it were Qin Batian in the past, these elders might still argue with each other.
But now that we know that Qin Yuanxiong is a half-step martial arts master, who dares to say nonsense?
Moreover, recalling how terrifying Qin Yuechi was, and thinking that it was him who agreed to expel Qin Yuechi in the first place, these elders became even more frightened, fearing the other party's revenge.
The only one who was dissatisfied was Zhao Feng.
When she heard the news, she rushed up like a shrew, but was knocked to the ground by Qin Batian with an angry look. Zhao Feng was so angry that she threatened to return to her parents' home.
Qin Batian said directly: "If you go back, don't come back."
Zhao Feng was dumbfounded and cried miserably, saying that the Qin family only recognized Qin Chen and did not regard his son Qin Feng as a Qin family member.
Everyone who saw it was filled with sighs.
But his words made Qin Batian even more angry. If Zhao Feng hadn't caused trouble randomly, how would his grandson Qin Feng have ended up like this?
She immediately became furious and ordered her servants to drag her out and not allow her to go out.
After learning about this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly came to intercede, but was rejected by Qin Batian lukewarmly. He even said coldly: "Old relative, you should worry about yourself. This time you come to the capital like this.
If you make trouble and deal with my grandson, Zhao Gao may not know how to deal with you. If you still have time to take care of my affairs here, please forgive me for not staying."
Then everyone in the Zhao family was driven out of the Qin Mansion by the disciples of the Qin family.
The Zhao family in Lingnan was, after all, one of the top wealthy families in the royal capital, with an unusually high status, but to be kicked out by the Qin family in this way, they naturally became angry and angry.
However, in the past, they did not dare to deal with the Qin family. Now that they knew that Qin Batian was a half-step martial arts master, how dare they act wildly? They had no choice but to hold back their anger and leave.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
And the same undercurrent is surging in the Imperial Palace of Da Qi.
Compared to the Qin family's drastic measures, Zhao Gao was sitting on the throne with a depressed look on his face, and his intestines were blue with regret.
Qin Chen actually has such talent, Qin Yuechi's cultivation level is actually so high, and Qin Batian actually breaks through to half a step of martial arts.
Every time he thought of this, Zhao Gao felt so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
If he had known things would turn out like this, even if he were beaten to death, he would never have given up on Qin Chen.
Now that the Qin family was dissatisfied with him, Zhao Gao even felt a little panic in his heart.
That's right, panic.
Over the years, the reason why Zhao Gao suppressed the Qin family was because Qin Batian's achievements were too outstanding.
But now, Qin Yuechi's cultivation level is so high, Qin Batian has also broken through the half-step Wuzong, and holds heavy troops.
With the combination of the two, it is not impossible to overthrow the power of Da Qi.
"What should I do? What else can I do now?"
Zhao Gao was a little flustered and his face was gloomy.
"Your Majesty, actually I have advised you before."
Xiao Zhan sighed on the side.
To be honest, when Zhao Gao was about to give up on Qin Chen, he was extremely disappointed in his heart.
"Are you blaming me?"
Turning his head, Zhao Gao looked stern and said angrily.
"His Majesty?"
Xiao Zhan was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Gao to speak to him like this.
Zhao Gao also realized his attitude and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Zhan, don't blame me. I'm really a little upset right now. If it's the Qin family, he...sigh."
After a long time, Zhao Gao still didn't say the word 'rebellion'.
"Actually, Your Majesty, there is absolutely no need to worry so much." Xiao Zhan shook his head.
Zhao Gao frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, if the Qin family wants to rebel, do they have to wait until today?" Xiao Zhan sighed and directly broke the topic.
Looking at Zhao Gao's puzzled expression, Xiao Zhan said: "Dingwu King Qin Batian has been in control of the three armies for a long time. It has been more than ten years. But look at his actions over the years.
At the border, he never returns to the royal capital, so as not to arouse your Majesty's suspicion. At the same time, he has made the Qin family's children return to the royal capital, relieved of important positions in the army, serving as civil servants, and even demobilized and returned to the countryside. This has shown his intention. "
"Who knows if he is pretending to show me on purpose." Zhao Gao was worried.
"Your Majesty, do you think it is necessary for Qin Batian to do this? If the Qin family wanted to rebel, they would have started it years ago. How could they wait until now?"
Seeing Zhao Gao like this, Xiao Zhan was a little speechless and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Qin Yuechi's cultivation cannot be achieved overnight. According to the estimates of my subordinates, she was probably at least as good as ten years ago.
He is not weaker than me in strength, if the Qin family really wants to take action, they will definitely take action at that time."
"Your Majesty, think about it. Ten years ago, Your Majesty, not long after you came to the throne, your control over the DPRK was definitely not stable. Moreover, at that time, several princes were still young and unable to control the overall situation. Moreover, ten years
In the past, the Wei Kingdom repeatedly invaded our borders, causing frequent wars on the borders."
"If the Qin family wants to rebel, the Qin family only needs to let Qin Yuechi sneak into the palace and kill your majesty. When the time comes, the blame will be placed on the Wei Kingdom. By then, your majesty will die and the princes will be unable to control the overall situation. The final task of saving the country will surely be
It will still fall into the hands of Qin Batian, who controls the three armies. When the time comes, the Qin family will first act as regent and then personally rule, and no one can stop it."
"But the Qin family did not do this. Instead, after your majesty ascended the throne, you repeatedly gave up power. In addition to Qin Batian who also controlled the three armies, other members of the Qin family, including Qin Yuanxiong, found positions in the court.
Everyone has become a commoner, but this all happened after your Majesty came to the throne, and Qin Batian expressed his feelings to you again."
"After so many years, our country, Qi, has enjoyed good weather and the people's will. Your Majesty also has a huge reputation in the army and in the hearts of the people. Not to mention that several princes have also made great achievements. How can the Qin family rebel? Your Majesty, you
What do you think?"
Xiao Zhan looked at Zhao Gao and sighed slightly in his heart.
He was a fan of the authorities, so he could never clearly see the situation. Otherwise, with Zhao Gao's intelligence, it would have been impossible not to see it.
Hearing this, Zhao Gao fell into deep thought, and gradually his eyes became clear.
Being able to serve as the leader of a country, Zhao Gao is naturally not a mediocre person. After thinking about it carefully, he naturally understands that what Xiao Zhan said is indeed very reasonable.
If the Qin family really wanted to rebel, there would be no need to cut off their limbs like this all these years to show themselves.
On the contrary, he himself, who had always been afraid of Qin Batian's military power, fell into a trap, getting tighter and tighter.
