Dayong was founded for more than 130 years, with nine surnames and thirteen families. With an undisputed attitude, they have always been at the pinnacle and powerful position of the land of China.
Every family with a surname and every martial arts holy place represents the essence of the dynasty for more than a hundred years.
Therefore, no one will underestimate these thirteen families, including of course everyone in Lingwu City present here.
They began to think about whether Wei Gang was making his own decisions, or was there some movement in the Lingxu Sect that was sending signals to the outside world?
Precisely because of Wei Gang's appearance, although most of the nearly two hundred forces in the hall rejected Beitang Ang's idea of forming a government army, Jiang Liu was still unable to make this decision directly.
In the end, everyone's eyes were on Meng Zhao and the few people gathered around him.
Zhai Hao of the Heart Light Martial Arts School, Li Li of the Tianhuo Martial Arts School, Master Pukong of the Qianhuan Temple, and Fu Yangzi of the Xuanxin Temple.
These four people are by no means the highest in martial arts in this hall, and they are not the strongest in terms of status and power. However, there is one thing that everyone except Wei Gang can't match, and that is that they have big legs behind them.
They are all subordinate forces of the Thirteenth Family, and they are protected by huge backers.
Behind the Xindeng Martial Arts Hall is Baektu Mountain, behind the Tianhuo Martial Arts Hall is the Fire Dragon Cave, Qianhuan Temple can be regarded as a branch of Landa Temple, and Xuanxin Temple is also the subordinate strength of Zhenwu Temple.
They are not many in number, but their influence can be said to be very huge. One Wei Gang can make people in the whole palace fearful, and the four of them can even affect the specific direction of things.
Of course, it is not the four people who essentially influence the direction, but the thirteen families they represent. Therefore, they generally do not interfere in such matters. Remaining silent and neutral is the most accustomed way.
When you have power, you must cherish it and not abuse it. Otherwise, if something happens, the people above will not let them go. Anyone who can sit on one side is not a fool.
Although the Meng family where Meng Zhao belongs is not as prominent as the Thirteenth family, its status and strength in Jizhou have improved rapidly recently, its influence is increasing day by day, and Meng Zhao's own terrifying and world-famous talent can barely rank with the above four people. p>
What makes many people take a high look is that Meng Zhao himself maintains a very friendly and harmonious relationship with these four families, no, plus Wei Gang, the five major forces. Therefore, his influence is not limited to Meng Zhao.
Home.
If he can change the habit of being silent and neutral among the four of them in the past, it is not impossible to become the most prominent person in Lingwu City.
Therefore, the tough and tyrannical leader of the Ding family spoke,
"Master Meng, what do you mean? Do you agree to form a government army, or do you disagree?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of probing sounds rang out.
"Yes, Mr. Meng, you are the most popular person in our Lingwu City right now. A young prodigy must have great ideas. Please tell me carefully."
This was shouted by a fat guy who took advantage of the chaos. His little eyes narrowed and his eyes were clear.
"The Master of the Meng family is both a noble and a martial arts man. He must have unique insights. Please give me a try."
This was proposed by a quiet, very honest little family leader. He had no independent opinion and no ability to change the situation. He could only go with the flow, but he also wanted to follow the strongest wave.
Meng Zhao's talent and strength are obvious to all. Behind the scenes, the Meng family is competing with the Marquis of Beining to be the strongest family in Jizhou. He must be able to provide some useful and key information.
For a moment, there was a sign of a raging public sentiment. It seemed that if Meng Zhao didn't say something, he would be a heinous person.
When ordinary people encounter such great pressure, they may feel panicked, confused, and find it difficult to speak.
However, Meng Zhao behaved very calmly and normally. He raised his glass to greet the stranger and said modestly,
"Everyone, this is serious. You are all Meng's elders. You are either the head of one party or the head of the family. Your life experience and experience are far beyond what I can compare with. How can I dare to speak arrogantly?"
Just as Meng Zhao finished speaking, Na Beitangang laughed loudly, diluting the stalemate and tense atmosphere in the air, and said loudly,
"Meng Zhao, there is a saying that goes well. If you have ambitions, you will not grow taller. If you have no ambitions, you will live a hundred years. You are our Lingwu City, no, you are the top figure of the younger generation of our Dayongjiang Lake. Tell us what you think. Let us
Everyone, listen to it.
If there is anything inappropriate, it is just a joke and we will not take it seriously."
"Yes, the prince has said so. Mr. Meng, you'd better express your opinion."
There was a smile on Meng Zhao's lips. He knew very well that what he said was not important, but his stance was important.
Whether he stands with the locals of Lingwu City or with the Beitang royal family may directly affect his future development.
Seemingly being forced into a dead end, neither of them is easy to mess with, but Meng Zhao is also not easy to mess with, so he asked,
"Your Majesty, everyone, please forgive me for being timid. There are too many things at the moment that I haven't figured out yet. I really can't make judgments easily.
First of all, I would like to ask Your Majesty, whether you have consulted the imperial court regarding the formation of the imperial army. If the imperial court agrees, everyone should think carefully and choose carefully. After all, the imperial court has orders. If you disobey, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
If the court does not allow it, the prince may be suspected of overstepping his bounds, so I cannot agree with it.
Secondly, if the army is formed, then, as the Zhuo family leader said, all aspects must be clearly divided.
Where is the camp of this government army, how are the powers and responsibilities divided, where does military pay and military expenditure come from, and most importantly, who will command this government army. If I don't understand these, I'm afraid even if I have good intentions,
In the end, due to the involvement of all parties, it will be a fight.
I have little talent, little knowledge, and little knowledge. It is precisely because I am not very clear about these things that it is difficult for me to make judgments and decisions."
Meng Zhao's words made many people look sad. Looking at this serious young man, they didn't know whether he was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
Regarding the imperial edict, they were deliberately vague and ignored.
Because as Meng Zhao said, the central court has issued an edict, and they have no choice but to comply, unless they want to rebel.
But since Beitang Ang didn't mention it, they subjectively believed that this order was most likely a verbal message.
Since it’s a verbal message, it’s okay to say it’s an order from the court, but it’s okay to say it’s not an order from the court.
It's a good thing now that Meng Zhao's words directly revealed what was deliberately vague.
Now it really depends on whether Beitang Ang has the edict in his hand.
Yes, they will comply, but there will definitely be some small tricks to spread this information to the outside world. Your Beitang royal family will lose face. You dare to violate the orders of your ancestors and the founder of the country. It is unfaithful and unfilial.
No, that's just going back to the original situation, it still depends on everyone's wishes.
Therefore, Meng Zhao's words not only removed himself from the whirlpool, but also defeated everyone.
But there is nothing we can do, who will give them strength?
Another person would never dare to speak so openly.
