After Liu Di heard Chang Hong's words, he also glanced sideways at Shan Qi. He was just a loser. Even if he understood, he didn't know how to reply.
Shan Qi replied with a smile:
"Well, what Dr. Chang said is very good! It should be so, it should be so!"
Liu Di interrupted again without thinking and asked:
"It's just...who are you helping? Is it most beneficial to our Zhou family?"
Chang Hong looked at Liu Di with disdain, but since he was the head of his old club Liu family after all, he could only say sternly:
"It's just righteousness, so why talk about profit? There is justice in the world. As long as our family is impartial, why worry about suffering?"
"Today, the Zhongxing family and the Zhao family are causing trouble to the Jin Kingdom. Such actions are despised by the world. How are people like them different from rebellious officials and traitors?"
Facing the upright and awe-inspiring Chang Hong, Dan Qi couldn't say anything more, so he only said:
"Well, what Dr. Chang said is absolutely true. But... as far as I know, the culprit of this matter is probably the Zhao family?!"
Chang Hong said:
"The rights and wrongs in this are not that simple. Therefore, we should wait and see what happens!"
Shan Qi nodded and said:
"Well, there is indeed nothing wrong with what Dr. Chang said."
Chang Hong said:
"Then... Chang Hong excuses himself, I will go into the palace to pay homage to the king!"
Afterwards, Chang Hong walked away.
After he walked away, Liu Di said:
"Doctor Shan, Chang Hong seems to be too concerned about the affairs of the Jin Kingdom!"
Shan Qi, on the other hand, had a cold look on his face and sneered:
"Haha, isn't Doctor Liu just as eager to join the Xing clan? Don't worry, when the time comes, I will make you satisfied!"
When Liu Di heard this, he couldn't help but feel very happy. Obviously, this was undoubtedly a huge promise to him.
"In this way, everyone will be able to work for you!"
Shan Qi smiled slightly and stopped talking. He looked towards the direction where Chang Hong entered the palace, seeming to be deep in thought for a moment.
…
After the Zhonghang family and the Fan family left Jiangcheng, they returned to the feudal city, reorganized their armies, and led their troops to attack Jinyang!
This matter soon spread to Jiangcheng. When Jin Houwu learned about it, he couldn't help being surprised at first. But then, he sighed again.
As the king of a country, sometimes he is completely helpless when faced with the struggle between ministers.
This is not his fault, but it has almost become a conventional political habit for a long time.
At the same time, Jin Houwu was also a little afraid, fearing that this incident would implicate him for no reason.
However, Xun Shu's presence gave him great comfort at this time.
The Marquis of Jin was also quite unhappy during the early morning court session, with a sad look on his face.
Of course Xun Shu knew his worries, so he didn't say much. He only said to the Marquis of Jin after he withdrew from the court and waited until the ministers had retreated:
"Are you troubled by the siege of Jinyang?"
Jinhou Wu nodded and said:
"Well... I am indeed a little worried! Xun Qing, do you know what the situation is now?"
Xun Shu replied:
"The Zhongxing clan attacked the city several times, but all failed. Jinyang is indestructible, and for a while, it may be difficult to achieve results!"
Jin Hou Wu said anxiously:
"If this matter continues to develop like this, it may be very bad for our country, Jin!"
Xun Shu said:
"Your Majesty, please do not disturb me. They are far away in Jinyang now, and they should not be involved in Jiangcheng. Moreover, whoever dares to be disrespectful to your Majesty will be the enemy of the entire Jin Kingdom! Presumably they will not be like this.
I don’t know the importance!”
When the Marquis of Jin heard this at noon, he sighed again and said:
"Xunqing, what do you think of this matter? I don't even dare to discuss this matter in public now. Since you are the chief minister, you have to make an idea for me, which side to stand on!"
Xun Shu said:
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Jin, all swore an oath to the Fen River back then: 'The one who caused the disaster will die'! The letter of the alliance is still in the river, and the Fan family and the Zhao family also made this oath when they made the tripod before.
It’s cast on a tripod!”
"Now that three ministers have started to cause trouble, only the Zhao family has been expelled, and the Zhongxing family and the Fan family have not been affected in any way. Isn't this unfair?!"
Because Zhao Yang and his family left Jiangcheng, the Zhongxing family and the Fan family suddenly sent troops to attack the Zhao family, and the Zhao family was as if they were expelled.
And when Xun Shu said this at this moment, he actually meant to drag the Zhao family into the water together. This was the disaster caused by the Zhao family, the Zhongxing family and the Fan family. If the person who caused the disaster dies, all three of them will die!
Xun Shu seemed to be speaking for Zhao, but his intentions were extremely vicious.
Jin Houwu couldn't tell the difference for a while.
"Then... according to Xun Qing's wishes, what should we do?"
Xun Shu said loudly:
"The three of them have no official offices. They have never asked your Majesty for such important matters. They all acted on their own without permission. I beg your Majesty to drive all three of them out of the Jin Kingdom. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. Please be aware of it."
!”
Jin Hou Wu vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know how to protect Zhao, so he had to say:
"Zhao... is a passive party in this matter. There is nothing wrong with their handling of Handan Zhao Wu. Moreover, the court has already made a conclusion beforehand. As for his family returning to Jinyang, everything was made clear in advance.
, to drive away the Zhao family…isn’t it a bit unfair and unfair?”
"The Zhongxing family and the Fan family are suddenly in trouble. This incident... I think is the root cause. However... I don't dare to say this to outsiders now, but in front of Xun Qing, I have to say these words.
…”
Hearing this, Xun Shu couldn't help but hurriedly said:
"The Zhonghang family and the Fan family have many eyes and ears in the court, but your Majesty is still so cautious. If only the Zhonghang family and the Fan family are dealt with, I'm afraid it will intensify the two families..."
When Jin Hou Wu heard this, he couldn't help being surprised, and then he sighed again:
"I am honored to be the king of the Jin Kingdom and the great uncle of the world... But now I can't say anything and can't do anything! Is there such a great uncle as me in this world?!"
Xun Shu hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Your Majesty, I would like to discuss it with the Han family and the Wei family again, and then I will give you a reply. Is that okay?"
Jinhou Wu nodded and said:
"Well, that's fine... Then I'll ask Xun Qing to mediate. You can discuss it on your own first, and then come back to me for advice. This matter... please Xun Qing pay attention to it, and don't be biased!"
Xun Shu immediately withdrew and invited Han Buxin and Wei Chi to the Xun Mansion. Moreover, he specially asked his retainer Liang Yingfu to accompany him.
After Han Buxin and Wei Chi arrived, they had already made up their minds.
When Xun Shu saw Han Buxin and Wei Chi arriving, he took the lead and said:
"About Jinyang, you two must already know about it. This matter is kept secret in the court, and all the ministers dare not mention it easily in public. But this matter is, after all, a major event related to the future of our Jin country.
, since we are the six ministers, we cannot avoid talking about the expectations of the ministers!"
Han Buxin was the first to speak:
"This matter should have been concluded long ago. It was the Zhonghang family and the Fan family that started the trouble! They ignored their oaths and led their troops to attack the Zhao family without authorization! As the saying goes, 'the one who started the trouble dies', the Zhonghang family and the Fan family should be driven away
, and in the name of the Marquis of Jin, he raised troops to fight against his enemies!"
Xun Shu sighed deeply and said:
"It's just... Your Majesty means... all three families should be expelled..."
