1173 Watching the play, the Cui family muddled the water
Thinking of that letter, which forcefully asked Dongling to destroy Zhentianlei and made Dongling promise never to use Zhentianlei's credentials, the emperor was so angry that his temples jumped.
This is simply a disaster coming from the sky. He really didn't do anything. The Nine Emperors Uncle will just die when he dies. It's really abominable to cause him trouble before he dies.
The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Check, check it for me. We must find the murderer of Uncle Nine Emperors in heaven and on earth. In addition, we sent people to search the mountain. We want to see the person alive and the corpse after death."
.”
No matter what, first determine the life and death of Uncle Nine Emperors, and then as for the murderer...
The emperor has a headache again. With Zhentian Lei around, he can't just push someone out to plead guilty. Maybe he should destroy Zhentian Lei so that if something similar happens, he won't throw dirty water on him, but...
He couldn't bear it.
If the Thunderbolt is used on the battlefield, the soldiers of Dongling will definitely be invincible. Sooner or later, he will be able to unify the four countries and nine cities and become the supreme ruler of this continent.
With this thought, the emperor's mood improved again, and he waved his hand to signal the visitor to leave.
The general who replied did not dare to delay any longer, turned around and ran away, but he was beating a drum in his heart.
What to do about this!
It was obviously the emperor himself who had done the dirty work and failed to clean it up. Now that the matter has become such a big deal, with people from all four countries and nine cities watching, how can he be reconciled?
It’s really difficult!
A certain minister looked so depressed that uninformed people thought he was constipated.
Look, even the emperor's confidants think so. It shows that everyone in the world knows that it was the emperor who killed the Nine Emperors Uncle, and then pretended to arrest the murderer.
The emperor has taken the blame for this.
The news of the death of Uncle Nine Emperors and Feng Qingchen spread throughout the Jiuzhou Continent immediately. Yun Xiao was so shocked that he dropped a set of cups: "Impossible, how could the two of them die so easily? Impossible, impossible,
Check...check it quickly."
"Uncle Nine Emperors is dead? No bones left?" Cui Haoting asked, his dark eyes as gentle as water, and a very elegant smile raised at the corner of his mouth.
Before the servant could react, Cui Haoting patted the folds on his clothes, stood up gracefully, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and after a while he slowly said: "Prepare gifts, I'm going to visit the Wang family."
Regardless of whether it is real death or fake death, this is an excellent time. Uncle Nine Emperors' life and death are unknown, and Wang Jinling is not in Dongling. According to the shortsightedness of those in the Wang family, they will definitely accept the kindness offered by the Cui family.
He wants this situation to be chaotic again.
Wang Jinling was returning from Nanling at this time. As a world-renowned eldest son, he went to Nanling not only to simply solve Feng Qingchen's matter, but also to interact with the literati in Nanling and open up the Wang family's way to Nanling.
, this will take a lot of time.
On the way, some information was not well understood. When Wang Jinling received the news that Feng Qingchen and Uncle Jiuhuang were in trouble, it was already seven days later. When Wang Jinling received the news, the smile on his face instantly stiffened, his fingers trembled, he staggered and fell.
Sit on a chair.
According to the servants around Wang Jinling, they have never seen the eldest son lose his composure like this.
The eldest son locked himself in the house for an afternoon, and there was no sound in the room. When the eldest son came out after dark, he was still elegant and gentle, as if nothing had happened and he was doing whatever he was supposed to do.
Everyone was confused, and of course no one dared to ask more questions.
What happened did not change Wang Jinling's route. He still walked towards the imperial city unhurriedly, and entertained all the people he met on the way.
The journey was quite smooth, but during this period, something happened that made Wang Jinling particularly angry.
The Wang family took advantage of his absence to make the decision without authorization, inciting his father to betroth his biological sister to Cui Haoting.
The Wang and Cui families are getting married!
As soon as this news came out, it was no weaker than the news about the unknown life and death of Uncle Nine Emperors. It attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.
What is the Cui family going to do? They came out with a high profile a few years ago, and have been lurking quietly since then. What about now?
It's true that there is no reason to complain. Once it does, it's amazing.
The future head of the Cui family wants to marry the sister of the head of the Wang family. Is this... considered a powerful alliance?
The first person who couldn't sit still was the emperor. During this period of pressure from his ministers, the emperor clearly realized that the imperial power was not as centralized as he imagined. Even without the Nine Emperors Uncle, he would not be able to do what he wanted as the emperor.
The courtiers are watching, and the people of the world are watching. No matter how powerful the emperor is, he cannot use it arbitrarily. Those ministers are not blindly loyal, and the marriage between Cui and Wang's family has made the emperor feel unprecedented pressure.
When these two behemoths cooperate, their strength is no weaker than that of the Nine Emperors Uncle, or even higher.
Does this count as luring the tiger and driving away the wolf?
The emperor was ill. After hearing the news about the marriage between Cui and Wang's family, he finally couldn't hold on any longer. He fell ill in bed and could not attend the morning court.
When Wang Jinling returned to Dongling and heard the news, he almost fell ill. When he heard that something happened to Feng Qingchen and Jiuhuangshu, his face changed. After hearing the news, he shook his hand and took out the cup.
The contents spilled out.
Although it was just a momentary lapse, it was enough to shock people.
The eldest son, who has always been calm, neither happy with things nor sad with himself, lost his composure twice in a row, which shows how serious this matter is.
You know, for a person like Wang Jinling, even if there is a fire at home, he can still drink the tea in his hand calmly and then walk out slowly.
Fortunately, no one except those close to Wang Jinling could know about Wang Jinling's gaffe. When Wang Jinling entered the city, what people saw was still the young master who was open-minded, smart and handsome, and admired everyone.
Not good enough.
Among other things, Master Shan's calmness and indifference are not something ordinary people can achieve. The marriage between the Wang and Cui families is not only a marriage between the two families, but also represents the political direction of the Wang family.
Wang Jinling could not take such a big matter seriously, which shows how confident Wang Jinling is.
Wang Jinling was calm and unhurried, but that didn't mean that others could be like him. When the emperor heard that Wang Jinling had returned to the city, he directly sent him to the palace without waiting for Wang Jinling to return to the Wang family.
What the emperor wants is very simple. He wants a stable regime, he wants to have great power, and he wants the whole court to surrender.
Nowadays, there is turmoil inside and outside the court. If the Cui and Wang families join forces again, Dongling's country may be given away due to internal and external troubles.
When Wang Jinling entered the palace, the emperor dragged his sick body to see him and asked him three questions.
First: Do you know about the marriage between King Cui and his family?
Second: Who is in charge of the Wang family?
Third: You have the talent of a prime minister, and you are willing to join the court to assist me.
The emperor asked three questions in a row. Wang Jinling did not panic and answered without hesitation: Marriage matters are important matters of parents. The marriage of Cui and Wang's family is decided by the parents. As the elder brother, he has no right to interfere with his sister's marriage.
Having no right to interfere means that the marriage of the Cui family is not arranged by Wang Jinling. The Wang family will not favor the Cui family because of this, and will not form an alliance with the Cui family just because of a marriage contract.
As for who is in charge of the Wang family? Everyone in the world knows this question. Only the head of the Wang family can be the head of the family. The head of the Wang family will not ignore the Wang family because of the personal affairs of his children.
In other words, as long as he, Wang Jinling, is still the head of the Wang family, the Wang family will have the final say. He, Wang Jinling, will only do things from the standpoint of the Wang family, and will never disregard the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Wang family because of his biological sister.
Although he is cold-blooded, it is a trait that a family helmsman must possess, and the emperor appreciates it very much.
