Chapter 0028 The situation in the capital is turbulent
What Jiang Chen didn't expect was that the series of turmoil that occurred in Longtenghou Mansion would cause the originally peaceful capital to create waves of undercurrents under the water.
In the Longtenghou Mansion, Longtenghou Long Zhaofeng was naturally the most angry one. After being rejected by Jiang Feng, he considered the overall situation and might be able to endure it for the time being.
But being rejected by the Jiang family and his son in such a forceful way, Long Tenghou felt like he was slapped in the face.
Although Marquis Long Teng did not explode on the spot, nor did he fly into a rage. That was not because he was tolerant, but because he, as a superior, knew that he must control his anger in that situation.
When all the guests left and only his close friends were left, Long Zhaofeng's first words were: "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. I don't care what methods you use, this time Qianlong will try
, the Jiang family must be out!"
"I see that without the vassal order, what are they talking about about a semi-spiritual land, and why are they so rampant with me?"
"Also, check for me, what is going on in the Medicine Master Palace?" Marquis Long Teng was very unhappy. The Medicine Master Palace openly stood up to support the Jiang family on that occasion. This scene was unexpected by everyone.
.
Those close friends who stayed behind all nodded.
"The Jiang family father and son really don't know what they are talking about. If we don't suppress them this time, Longhou's prestige will definitely be damaged!"
"There must be something weird between the Medicine Master Palace and this Jiang Chen. My daughter and I were in the Medicine Master Palace that day..." Long Juxue told what happened in the Medicine Master Palace that day. The three masters of the Medicine Master Palace that day rejected all the top princes.
The descendant of the Dragon Boat Festival sold the Dragon Bone Zhiyang Grass to Jiang Chen and treated Jiang Chen as an honored guest.
Looking back on this scene, Long Juxue also found it quite strange.
When Long Zhaofeng heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Xue'er, why didn't I hear you mention such an important thing that day?"
Long Juxue also regretted: "Xue'er felt at that time that a mere dandy would not be able to gain recognition from your father. Who would have thought that the Medicine Master Palace would actually..."
In fact, what Long Juxue said makes sense. The fight for the Dragon Bone Zhiyang Grass that day was, in the final analysis, a trivial matter. It was a small episode among the princes' disciples. Although Long Juxue hated Jiang Chen because of this, she didn't feel that way.
It is necessary to tell your father about small things.
However, in the royal capital, a small matter can often be seen in subtle ways and contain great connotations.
If Marquis Long Teng had known about this matter in advance, he could have made more preparations when it came to inviting the Medicine Master Palace to the banquet, and at least he would not have suffered such a big loss today.
The unexpected attack of Medicine Master Palace caused Marquis Long Teng to lose the initiative.
"By the way! Longhou, there is something strange, have you noticed it?" The speaker was Yanjiuzhuang, the Marquis of Yanmen.
Apart from Marquis Yanmen, there are at least a dozen other princes present. Those who are staying here at this moment are all the confidants of Marquis Long Teng.
In other words, among the 108 princes in the Eastern Kingdom, there are actually as many as a dozen who have secretly taken refuge with Marquis Longteng.
This is a very terrifying force.
And Yanmenhou himself can be ranked in the top ten among the 108 princes. Therefore, among the group of princes who have taken refuge with Longtenghou, he still has a relatively strong voice.
"Yanhou, what did you find?" Long Zhaofeng asked.
"There are two weird things about tonight's banquet. First, why are Princess Magatama and Princess Zhiruo so familiar with Jiang Chen? Second, why is Tianshuihou's behavior so abnormal? You know, Tianshuihou is Jiang Feng's mortal enemy.
If it were normal times, he would have been the vanguard to stand up against Jiang Hanhou. But today, have you seen him take a stand?"
"Not only himself, but his son Shui Qingshu also met Jiang Chen once and bullied him once in the royal capital. Did you see his reaction tonight?"
These words reminded everyone present.
Yes, the behavior of Tianshui Hou and his son was too abnormal.
To say that Marquis Longteng suppressed Jiang Feng, it was because he wanted to seize the semi-spiritual land. Marquis Longteng himself had no hostility towards Jiang Feng before.
Marquis Tianshui, on the other hand, is the mortal enemy of Jiang Hanhou Jiang Feng. Their territories are adjacent to each other. Because of the competition for territory, resources, rankings, merits, and overt and covert fights, the situation is almost endless.
However, tonight, Tianshui Hou showed no sign at all, nor did he take this opportunity to stand up and suppress Jiang Feng!
If you resort to abnormal behavior, there will be a demon!
"I remember that after Jiang Chen was scolded by the staff at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, Marquis Shui accompanied the monarch to the Marquis Jiang Han Mansion to pay homage. Why did Jiang Chen resurrect from the dead, and what happened that night? This matter has always been
We can't find out through the investigation. The old guys who went there that day were more and more tight-lipped."
All kinds of abnormal details were dug out one by one.
Long Zhaofeng fell into deep thought, and he also felt strange. King Dongfang Lu had many capable men, and there was no reason why he could not kill a dandy with a stick.
However, Jiang Chen managed to survive this. And it seemed that the relationship between the Jiang family and the royal family, instead of being affected by that incident, actually got closer.
"Your information is very useful. So, it seems that I have underestimated Jiang Feng? Could it be that this person has already fallen into the lap of King Dongfang Lu?"
Marquis Long Teng called him "Monarch", but there was not much respect in his tone.
"When you have time, help me make an appointment with Marquis Tianshui. It seems that we have to open a gap with this person for this matter." Long Zhaofeng ordered.
"In addition, tell Du Ruhai that no matter what means he uses, he must stop Jiang Chen in the Qianlong Conference. Once the Jiang family loses the order of princes, even if he has a huge backer, it will all be nothing!"
It doesn't matter how strong your backing is or how sophisticated your tricks are. Without the orders of the princes, you will lose control of your territory.
Without the right to control, how could the Jiang family and his son still have the right to speak?
This method is simple and crude, but it is the most direct and effective!
To take by clever means * to plunder, to take by means of plunder. Since it is impossible to take by means of guile, we can only rob by means of plunder.
Marquis Long Teng is not a good man and a believer in women. To achieve his goals, he uses vicious methods and never sets a lower limit.
In his opinion, the reason for being polite first and then fighting is not because he is afraid of how powerful the Jiang family is, but because he wants to establish a reputation for persuading others with virtue. Now this hypocritical method does not work, and the Jiang family father and son do not know how to praise, so they can only tear themselves apart.
Used barbaric methods!
…
While Marquis Long Teng was holding a meeting overnight, all the senior officials in the Medicine Master's Palace were also convening a meeting.
The four palace masters, the ten elders, and all the senior officials of the Medicine Master Palace were all listed.
Qiao Baishi, the master of the third palace, told everything that happened in Longtenghou Mansion.
In the Medicine Master's Hall, the main hall master Song Tianxing has absolute say, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pillar of the entire Medicine Master's Hall.
When the three palace masters finished speaking, all eyes turned to the palace master Song Tianxing. Obviously, no one dared to speak rashly before understanding the palace master's thoughts.
Song Tianxing laughed: "I won't express my opinion now. If you have any ideas, please tell me first!"
"Since the Shenxiu Good Fortune Pill has a 90% approval rating even from Elder Shun, it must be reliable. I think the Third Hall Master made the right choice." One of the elders spoke first.
"I also support the three masters of the palace. The Medicine Master Palace has been established in the royal capital for hundreds of years. It is impossible to cover everything and not offend anyone. For the benefit of the Medicine Master Palace, there is nothing you can do if you offend some people."
"That's right, since the prospect of the Shenxiu Good Fortune Pill is so promising and the market profit is so huge, let alone offending Lord Long Teng, even if it offends more princes, we have no choice."
It can be seen that there are quite a few high-level officials who support Qiao Baishi. Everyone considers the issue from the perspective of the interests of the Medicine Master Palace, and they all feel that there is no problem with Qiao Baishi's choice.
"Second brother, please tell me." Song Tianxing looked at Yue Qun, the master of the second hall, with a slight smile.
"I agree with everyone's opinions. As long as it is beneficial to the Medicine Master Palace, I think it is advisable." This was said in a very tactful way, as if it was not said.
Elder Lan, on the other hand, suddenly said: "Master of the main hall, I also want to say a few words."
"Okay, everyone is welcome to speak freely. Elder Lan, please tell me." Song Tianxing encouraged.
"I don't think the Jiang family and his son are reliable. Have you ever thought about what if Mr. Shun makes a mistake? Didn't our Medicine Master Hall make a big mistake? If this spreads out, where is the prestige of our Medicine Master Hall?
That Shenxiu Good Fortune Pill was a boast. Didn’t we offend the Longtenghou Mansion in vain? I have heard that Longtenghou’s daughter, Long Juxue, is an innate Qingluan body and martial arts figure who was favored by the giants of the hidden sect.
The future is very promising. As a result, will the Longtenghou Mansion be in a state of decline? Will the situation in the kingdom change hands in the future? "
The Medicine Master's Palace is not an official organization, so it has no scruples in discussing government affairs and is relatively bold and open-minded. Even when it comes to topics such as the change of ownership of the country, everyone's expressions don't show much taboo.
"Elder Lan, you are worrying too much. First of all, Elder Shun will never make a mistake. In addition, the replacement of a kingdom will naturally follow its own rules and will not suddenly undergo subversive changes just because of the appearance of one or two people.
Marquis Long Teng is getting more and more powerful, but the Dongfang clan of the royal family will definitely not be able to sit idly by."
Qiao Baishi refuted Elder Lan's statement on the spot: "Moreover, even if Marquis Long Teng has this ability, it is absolutely impossible for him to openly deal with our Medicine Master Palace just because of a business matter. Our Medicine Master Palace can stand for hundreds of years."
, and it is definitely not something that can be done just by talking. Don’t worry about some details that are unlikely to happen, regardless of the obvious profits. This is not the way of doing business in our Medicine Master Palace.”
No one can deny that the prospect of Shenxiu Good Fortune Pill is really too tempting. If this pill is really put into the market in large quantities, in the field of physical healing, compared with those medicines currently on the market, it can be said that
There is no competitiveness.
You say it's better to compare goods with others, and this Shenxiu Creation Pill is a good product that can sweep away all similar pills.
This market is simply a cornucopia. If used well, the profit from this single elixir alone can support the operation of the entire Medicine Master Palace.
After arguing over and over again, everyone's eyes finally turned to Song Tianxing, the master of the hall.
"It seems that most people still agree with Lao San's choice. You can probably guess my attitude. When I go out, I trust Lao San to take care of everything. In fact, it is a exercise of his judgment and control.
A kind of trust in power.”
When it comes to this matter, Song Tianxing's attitude is very clear.
"Here, I would also like to remind everyone that what our Medicine Master's Palace pursues is to maximize interests. As for political battles, we try not to get involved, but we should not be afraid of getting involved. Nothing can always be done by one person.
We stand on two sides. When we need to take a stand, we have only one stand, which is interests. Shenxiu Creation Pill can give us benefits, so we choose it! As for who loses and wins in political struggles, we, Medicine Master Palace, have survived.
After such a long time, is it possible that you don’t even have the confidence to adapt?"
