At present, the main force in Dazhou to suppress Dragon Vein is actually those strong men in the True Martial Realm. The existences of Ji Xuanyuan and other Yangshen Realm are just supporting on the side, and they are dispensable.
So Ji Yanxiu went to the palace to see Ji Xuanyuan, and someone immediately took Ji Yanxiu to see Ji Xuanyuan.
In a side hall of the imperial city, Ji Xuanyuan was already waiting there. Ji Yanxiu walked over and cupped his hands and said, "See you, ancestor."
In terms of seniority, Ji Xuanyuan is actually one generation older than Ji Haodian, so Ji Haodian used to call him uncle, but it is not wrong for Ji Yanxiu to call him ancestor now.
But Ji Xuanyuan just said lightly: "I only have one ancestor in Dazhou, so I'd better call him the Crown Prince differently."
Ji Yanxiu was a little confused. Why did he feel that Ji Xuanyuan was a little unhappy with him?
Although it stands to reason that the only ancestor of their royal family with the surname Ji is Ji Wuling, who is in the Zhenwu Realm, Ji Yuanxuan, as an elder, shows respect by calling him "ancestor". Why does Ji Yuanxuan still look unhappy?
Ji Yanxiu said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, it's like this. Today, Su Xin and his men openly attacked my Prince's Mansion, and also injured my subordinate Wu Mingchong. Such behavior is simply too outrageous!"
The more Ji Yanxiu talked, the angrier he became: "I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, can be said to be quite tolerant towards my ministers, but tolerance does not mean connivance. The king is the king, and the ministers are ministers. If there is no respect for superiors and inferiors, what is the point?
Your Majesty, although this Su Xin is an important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is precisely because of this that we cannot leave him alone. Otherwise, other people in the Great Zhou Dynasty will take this as a precedent. How can we repay him in the future? We must severely punish him!"
Ji Yanxiu breathed out a sigh of relief after saying these words, but then he found that Ji Xuanyuan was just looking at him with indifferent eyes, which suddenly made Ji Yanxiu's heart skip a beat.
"You said that the king is the king and the minister is the minister? But how did you get the position of 'king'?" Ji Xuanyuan asked calmly.
Just when Ji Yanxiu wanted to explain, Ji Xuanyuan said directly: "As a human being, you must never forget your roots. Everyone in the world knows that you got the throne through Su Xin. Now that you have caused such trouble, you still want to punish Su Xin. You
What do people in the world think of you? Are you ungrateful or burning bridges?
As the Lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you have done such a thing, how can you let other people in the world feel at ease to come to you and to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"Is this the case?" Ji Yanxiu was a little unwilling.
Ji Xuanyuan glanced at him, but there was disappointment in his eyes.
"Don't think that I am blind. I may not know as much about things in Jianghu as the Six Doors, but you can't hide things about Dazhou from me.
If you weren't so happy about what happened this time and let your men steal the information of Su Xin's men, how could he go to you to ask for justice?"
Ji Yanxiu quickly explained: "This matter was Fang Jiuyuan's decision. I didn't know about it in advance."
Ji Xuanyuan pointed at Ji Yanxiu and said: "Remember, no matter whether you know this or not, Fang Jiuyuan is your subordinate, and you will be responsible for whatever he does.
It's like you have offended people from the underworld, but no matter who is right or wrong, I will still protect you, because you are the prince of Dazhou, and if they touch you, it is equivalent to slapping Dazhou in the face.
If you push your subordinates out whenever something happens, it’s not someone else slapping you in the face, it’s you yourself slapping yourself in the face!”
Ji Yanxiu's face turned red at Ji Xuanyuan's words. His words just now were purely a subconscious reaction, but unexpectedly, they were reprimanded.
Ji Xuanyuan then snorted coldly: "Besides, you don't know who your gang is. That Zhang Zhaoxian is a member of the Zhang family of Zhengyuantang, one of the three hidden clans in the world. This family is much smarter than the Su family."
, but also much more slippery. You can use this person, but you cannot reuse him, because the other party will definitely put the interests of their Zhang family before the court.
Although Wu Mingchong was a brainless and reckless man, he was the disciple of Wu Chengze, the strongest man in the former Jin Dynasty. The reason why his master died so quickly was probably because he was seriously injured by two strong men from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
s reason.
Now that Wu Chengze is dead, there is no problem for you to use him, but how can you ensure that the other party will not secretly harbor resentment towards me, Da Zhou?"
Ji Xuanyuan's words made Ji Yanxiu break into a cold sweat.
He originally thought that his methods were pretty good, at least he was very accurate in judging people, so he was able to gather so many powerful people in a short period of time.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized how big a mistake he had made. Compared with old monsters like Ji Xuanyuan, he was still a little too young.
At this time, Ji Xuanyuan snorted coldly and said: "And look at what kind of people you have under your command?
Su Xin is a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At the Heaven Viewing Banquet that day, Fang Jiuyuan was afraid of fighting, but Su Xin used the strength of Fusion God Realm to withstand the three moves of He Wushan of Famous Sword Villa. This
But it's something everyone knows.
Now you ask me to punish Su Xin for these trivial things, how do you want the other ministers of my great Zhou Dynasty to think? How do you want the many people in the world to think of me, the great Zhou Dynasty!"
Ji Xuanyuan's scolding immediately knocked Ji Yanxiu unconscious. He could no longer say the words to punish Su Xin, so he could only say goodbye in panic with an ugly face.
Of course, it was Ji Yanxiu's unlucky fault. He also came at the wrong time.
Not long after the Sky Viewing Banquet, Su Xin's impression in the eyes of Ji Xuanyuan and other royal family members surnamed Ji is quite good.
But Fang Jiuyuan was afraid of fighting, which formed a good contrast.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange for Ji Xuanyuan to listen to Ji Yanxiu's words.
And he also discovered that Ji Yanxiu was okay in other aspects, but her overall view was too weak, or even non-existent.
Ji Yanxiu is still saying this from his own position. He only cares about his own interests, but he has not considered at all what the warriors of Great Zhou will do if he punishes Su Xin as he said.
If you don't deviate from your heart and morality, will people in the world laugh at Zhou?
Although it is said that the overall situation can grow with changes in one's position, under the current situation, Ji Xuanyuan is becoming more and more disappointed with Ji Yanxiu.
At this time, within the six doors, Su Xin also heard the news that Ji Yanxiu went to the palace, and he knew with all his strength that this guy must have gone to file a complaint.
Su Xin sneered. Ji Yanxiu really couldn't wait any longer. She went to Ji Xuanyuan to cause trouble for herself before she even ascended the throne.
But Su Xin was confident. He was absolutely sure that if Ji Yanxiu went, it would be in vain. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to attack him at the Heaven Viewing Banquet?
As long as he can win the favor of the royal family surnamed Ji, Ji Yanxiu's current pitiful prestige will not be able to sway him.
So now Su Xin is studying another thing, that is, how to plot Ji Yanxiu's plan to destroy the deal between Heavenly Court and the Golden Horde.
Generally speaking, it is best not to use the same strategy twice, especially on the same person within a short period of time.
Ji Yanxiu suffered such a loss, so he will be more vigilant next time.
But people have a kind of inertia, that is, if I suffer a loss in this matter once, I will subconsciously feel that I have heightened my vigilance and will never fall in the same place twice.
Little did they know that most people with this kind of thinking would become really vigilant only after their heads were broken and bleeding in the same place.
In Su Xin's opinion, this Ji Yanxiu is almost like this kind of person. As long as he does this matter more secretly and more cautiously, he can guarantee that there is a 90% chance that Ji Yanxiu will fall twice in the same place.
At this time, Ji Yanxiu, who returned to the Shu Palace, became even more depressed.
Fang Jiuyuan and the others failed, but the result was that he was no longer human inside and out, and was forced into the palace by the people from the underworld. Su Xin actually dared to openly block the door and attack him. Moreover, he was reprimanded by Ji Xuanyuan, as if he had never
Things have never been smooth sailing since I became the prince.
The more this happened, the stronger the sense of crisis in Ji Yanxiu's heart became, as if the name of the puppet emperor had been placed on her head after she ascended the throne.
Ji Yanxiu definitely didn't want this to happen, so as soon as he returned to the Shu Palace, he found Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian.
In fact, it turns out that in Ji Yanxiu's heart, the status of Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian was lower than that of Wu Mingchong and others.
After all, they were both members of the Six Doors before, and their relationship within the court was complicated, so Ji Yanxiu could not completely trust them.
However, Wu Mingchong, Zhang Zhaoxian and others came from rough backgrounds, and the first person to seek refuge in the imperial court was Ji Yanxiu, so in his heart he was mainly focused on Wu Mingchong and others.
It wasn't until what Ji Xuanyuan said before that he understood that even Wu Mingchong and Zhang Zhaoxian were not so safe, so Ji Yanxiu was ready to let Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian take charge of the subsequent actions.
After all, the two of them have been serving as the four great hunters for such a long time. Although there was an error in the last mission, it was an accident that no one could have imagined. These two people are still capable.
So after Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian arrived, Ji Yanxiu directly raised his hands to the two of them and said: "Master Fang, Master Liu, now Wu Mingchong has been seriously injured by Su Xin, so I decided to temporarily hand over the command of the Long Shadow Army to the two of them.
.
There were some accidents in our last operation, and now everyone else is watching the joke in my prince's palace, so I hope that the two adults can give me a surprise before I ascend the throne, and I will definitely not treat you badly.
For adults!"
Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian were both surprised when they heard this. After all, they could see Ji Yanxiu's attitude towards them when they had just joined Ji Yanxiu.
But the two didn't say much. After all, they also knew that their status was special and Ji Yanxiu could not completely trust them.
As a result, Ji Yanxiu actually said such heartfelt words to them. Although the two of them could not understand why, this situation was obviously a good thing, so they immediately saluted and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, we will not do it."
