This exquisite toy dagger told her that he had not been injured.
He also told her that he would never see her again and that she and Ying should no longer be involved.
Standing at the door of Ying's mansion, Jun Ci led Achi and looked back. The white walls and black tiles, stacked brick carvings, solemn and solemn, everything stood as majestic as when Aye came here when he suddenly learned about the engagement.
Now there will no longer be anyone in the house who can make her feel anxious and worried.
She got on her horse and galloped, her fiery figure walking away along the drooping willow tree.
"Prime Minister, Ying Jiulang must have cheated his death!" The generals of the Zhou family had returned to the Zhou Mansion and knelt down in front of Zhou Rong humbly and fearfully.
Zhou Rong, dressed in a black robe, stood in front of two coffins, with his hands behind his back, his fingertips curled up, and his joints crackled.
During his life as a soldier, his relatives suffered many casualties, most of them were corpses wrapped in horse leather. His heroic spirit returned to the battlefield, and his death was heroic!
Out of four sons, three of them were lost in just half a year.
The sadness of the death of his youngest son is still there, and the death of his third son and his son one after another is undoubtedly a huge blow to him. Now he only has the eldest son, the only seedling around him.
As long as he thinks about the death of his son and third son, Zhou Rong can't wait to dig out the bones of Ying Wuchen and Jun Ci!
He surrounded the main city of Ganling and forced the Ying family, but Ying Wuchen wasted no time and waited for the complaints to spread before he committed suicide with blood. The Zhou family's reputation once again plummeted...
"Aye, the Ying family is too rampant, we can no longer tolerate it!" Zhou Chengwen's eyes were filled with murderous intent and hatred.
Zhou Rong took a deep breath and raised his jaw slightly: "Dalang, we missed this game by one move and lost."
Zhou Chengwen didn't understand Zhou Rong's deep meaning, but he could also tell that Zhou Rong would never take action against the Ying family again. He was filled with unwillingness and his eyes were bloodshot: "Aye, they killed the second brother and the third brother!"
Feeling a pain in his heart, Zhou Rong closed his eyes, restrained the twitching of his arms, raised his hands tremblingly to support the coffin, and his voice was filled with sadness: "Ah Ye knows, Ah Ye will never forget."
"Aye..." Zhou Chengwen choked with sobs. When he touched his father's suddenly stooped back, he couldn't help crying. He couldn't bear to force his father any more. He gritted his teeth and said, "Aye, I can't move the Ying family, how can I let the Jun family go?"
What!"
With his fingertips gently brushing against the coffin, Zhou Rong walked around the coffin, and finally stood between the two coffins, facing Zhou Chengwen: "Jun... I'm afraid I can't move..."
Zhou Chengwen didn't understand, and no matter how many questions he had, he didn't ask any questions.
The next day, Zhou Chengwen knew why Zhou Rong said he had lost. He knew that Ying Wuchen could not really die, but he did not send anyone to the Ying family to find out Ying Wuchen and tear away Ying's hypocritical face.
At the court meeting, Yuan You's papers were piled up overnight with documents to impeach Zhou Rong from all over the country. Zhou Rong did not come to court on the grounds of a family funeral, but Zhou's spies conveyed everything.
Half of the people in the court claimed to be sick, and all the counties went into trouble together. They obviously asked the court for help, but in fact they put pressure on Zhou Rong.
The Beizhen Gao family did not miss this opportunity, and wrote a eulogy with great fanfare and handed it to Ying family, corresponding with Jiulang's condolences, and every word contained insinuations that the Zhou family had gone too far to deceive others.
"You go too far to bully others? They are clearly the ones who go too far!" Zhou Chengwen blushed with anger.
"Do you understand now what 'Aristocratic Family World' means?" Zhou Rong was neither happy nor angry. Everything was as expected.
"Aye, are we going to be bullied by them like this?" Zhou Chengwen has never felt so aggrieved since he was born.
"Back then, my father killed more than 2,000 officials in the court. Everyone said that my father was to establish prestige and intimidate all officials..." Zhou Rong said calmly, "In fact..."
Really what?
Zhou Rong didn't say it clearly, but the answer was self-evident.
He does not deny that he has the intention of thundering to shock him, but ultimately, he wants to use this to break through the tightly intertwined web of the family in one fell swoop!
Among the three nobles and nine ministers, 50% are from aristocratic families, the other 50% are from aristocratic families, 40% are studying in aristocratic families, and half of the first floor are sons-in-law of aristocratic families, and half of the children are poor royal family members.
Only in the army are there children from poor families.
He didn't hesitate to bear the name of bloodthirsty. I thought he had really broken the shackles of the family's power. But when he directly took the Ying family in exchange for a head-on blow, he realized that the roots of the family were unshakable.
Ying Wuchen, the direct son of the Ying family, was forced to death by him. This was a severe slap on the family's face.
No matter how much internal discord there is between the aristocratic families, they will never sit back and watch someone so blatantly ignore them.
He forcibly besieged Ganling City in the name of arresting murderers. Today, the Northern Dynasty family will allow chaos everywhere in the name of being beyond their capabilities.
"This is not my Zhou family's kingdom. If they want to cause trouble, let them cause cholera!" Zhou Chengwen shouted angrily.
Zhou Rong looked at his son who was so angry that he lost his mind, his eyes full of exhaustion.
If he doesn't care, Yuan You will take care of it himself. If Yuan You wants to take charge, he has to seize power from him. This is an honest opportunity.
Neither he nor the royal family can break free from the shackles of the aristocratic family.
Zhou Rong naturally cannot delegate power, so he has to step in to clean up this mess. This is the choice given to him by the family, either to return the power to the monarch, or to stand up and calm down the anger.
Zhou Rong did not compete with the aristocratic family for his patience. He knew very well that Yuan You was watching eagerly and he could not compete with him.
The Zhou family's reputation plummeted due to Ying Wuchen's suicide. He did not want to make matters worse, so before the situation worsened, he personally brought gifts to the Yingchuan Wei family to act as an intermediary, and made appointments with the princes of various aristocratic families.
No one knows what Zhou Rong gave up in this meeting. They only know that Lord Ying Lang and Zhou Rong shook hands and made peace, and no longer mentioned their grudges.
Zhou did not target Jun Ci again on this matter.
"Aci, you see, this is the world of aristocratic families." When the matter came to an end, Jun Xu couldn't help but sigh to his daughter.
Jun Ci raised his eyes, and as far as he could see, there was a bright sun in the sky, and there was silence.
This was also the first time that Jun Ci had a deep understanding of what a behemoth the "Aristocratic Family" really was.
It was also at this moment that Jun Ci understood why Ying Wuchen had to leave early.
If he stays with the Ying family, he will be the next Yuan You.
"Aye, you said... Your Majesty..." Can there ever be a day when the monarch's power can be restored?
She always thought that Yuan You's greatest control was Zhou Rong, but now she realized that Zhou Rong was just a hurdle, and after Zhou Rong, there was a ravine-like aristocratic family.
The daughter didn't ask, but Jun Yi could guess what she was thinking and almost shook his head: "Aci, the decline of the royal family started when the Ying family withdrew from the court."
In recent years, Zhou Rong's rise to the top is certainly due to his ability as a powerful figure, but more importantly, it is because the family is happy to see his success or... contributes to the situation.
From the moment the royal family took action against the corresponding clan, the family felt the royal family's intolerance.
In the eyes of the aristocratic family, this must end with a change of dynasty.
If there is no Zhou family, there will be others.
"Mr. Zhou has passed the test of the aristocratic family. You must avoid his sharp edges in the future." Jun Xu looked at his passionate daughter with concern.
Ying Wuchen left and Zhou Rong bowed his head. This was because he had gained the favor of the aristocratic family, and he was afraid that it would open the door for the Zhou family to devour the Yuan family.
