Chapter 581 The Purpose of Going to the Battlefield
Star Ji City, Clan Mansion,

Zong Ling carefully looked at Princess Yiguang who had just entered the door and the two princes and concubines who were following her, his old heart beating violently.

"Yi Guang, it's not the time of the year or festival, you're making a big show of... calling all the ancestors of the clan to this clan's mansion. I don't know why?"

"It's nothing." Princess Yiguang chuckled, but the smile was full of coldness.

"It's just that some scum came out of the royal family, trying to destroy the ancestral foundation of our Chen family. I want all the uncles to comment and talk about how to deal with him."

Uh ~
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, everyone gasped, and their faces became extremely serious in an instant.

The names of these people are very famous, they are either princes or princesses, but in fact they don't have much power.

It's just that as the core members of the royal family, the prosperity and wealth of the whole family and even their lives are closely related to the empire.

It can be said that whoever dares to touch the foundation of the ancestors is to fight them desperately.

Zong Ling quickly glanced at Concubine Ning and Concubine Jin behind Princess Yiguang again, his mind turned hundreds of times in an instant, his heart suddenly became brighter, and he jumped even more.

His voice suddenly became hoarse, "Yi Guang, I don't know... Who are the... unworthy descendants you mentioned? Is there any evidence?"

The further you go down, the less confidence Zongling has.

Theoretically, the Clan Mansion in his hands manages all matters of the entire Chen royal family.

For example, compiling jade documents, recording the birth, old age, sickness and death of the clan's children, and distributing benefits to the princes and grandchildren;

If someone in the clan makes contributions and does good deeds, they will be rewarded; of course, if they cause disasters and make mistakes, they will also be punished.

However, there are some things or people that cannot be controlled by the clan's family, and that is related to the direct line of the royal family.

For example, whether the son or grandson of Emperor Changxing made meritorious deeds or caused disasters, only the old emperor had the final say.

The clan mansion can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and has no chance to beak.

Ha ha.

Princess Yiguang knew Zong Ling's meaning, but said a name with a sneer.

"King Qi, Chen Xiuzhu!"

hum~
All the clan elders in the hall were dumbfounded and whispered to each other.

"How is it possible? King Qi has always been gentle and refined, and he is even more respectful to us old fellows. How could he do something that would ruin the foundation of our ancestors?"

"That's right, didn't the king celebrate his birthday a few days ago. Because it wasn't a whole birthday, he didn't plan to make a big fuss. Who knows that the child Xiuzhu remembered it firmly, and even bought a special gift to visit, but You are filial. This king doesn't believe that he will do anything wrong."

……

Amidst the turmoil, some people categorically did not believe it, but many people remained silent.

Zong Ling's old face was wrinkled into a bitter melon.

If there is no definite evidence in hand, Princess Yiguang would not dare to summon so many elders.

It's just that their clan's government really can't control this matter, and they don't dare to control it.

"Yi Guang," Zong Ling lowered his voice, "Shouldn't you report what you said to His Majesty first?"

As if Princess Yiguang had never heard of it, she raised her voice, "Lin Lang!"

"The subordinate is here!" The female officer outside walked in quickly.

The elders of the Chen clan in the main hall subconsciously looked up.

I saw Princess Yiguang's female officer holding a large tray in her hand, which was filled with all kinds of things, large and small.

There are letters, chapters, pens, ropes and even blood mud...

"Show the letter to all the elders."

"Yes, Your Highness." The female officer responded loudly and walked directly in front of the elders.

All the old men and women in the hall were dressed splendidly, but at this moment they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Some people's eyes are evasive, while others are eager to try.

However, after a long while, no one dared to reach out and pick up the things on it to take a look.

Princess Yiguang wasn't surprised and didn't make things difficult for them, she said directly: "Lin Lang, read!"

The female officer responded, and began to open the top book and began to believe. Hearing this, the faces of the old Chen clan changed drastically.

"It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable." The prince with a fief near Huayang County jumped up directly, "For his own selfishness, he dared to order the frontier army to make way so that the Japanese pirates could log into our Yunchui homeland. This is treacherous foreign enemies Seeking glory. Should be killed!"

The prince screamed so loudly that it pierced the eardrums, but most of the other people turned their faces away, not daring to look at Princess Yiguang and the others, let alone say anything.

Princess Yiguang remained expressionless, "Lin Lang, keep reading, you won't miss a single word!"

Lin Lang responded, and read one letter after another, while showing various documents that she had found.

Needle drop can be heard in the main hall.

At the beginning, there were doubts in people's hearts, but as the female officer read down, these people gradually gave up.

Hey...

A final sigh after another was heard from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Lang finally finished showing the token on the tray.

Everyone was heaving a sigh of relief, but they heard Princess Yiguang raise her voice again.

"These are just a small part of the physical evidence, come down to the Venerable Master to testify."

"Yi Guang," Zong Ling frowned, and hurried over to stop him, "This matter has too much impact, it's really not appropriate to discuss it here, how about..."

Boom!
Princess Yiguang punched the crested staff in her hand with a murderous look.

The fierce echo oscillated back and forth in the lonely main hall in front of him, and everyone including Zong Ling was shocked.

Many people couldn't help but moved a few steps to the side, slightly increasing the distance from Princess Yiguang.

Although this eldest princess is a woman, she is not easy to get along with.

Back then in the Golden Palace, in front of Emperor Changxing and the six important ministers, she dared to knock the Minister of Rites unconscious with a stick.

I have old arms and legs, but I can't stand her, so I don't want to move forward.

"Everyone, elders, everyone has lived a long time. Looking at the empire today, does it seem familiar?"

Lao Zongling was a little dazed, "I don't know what Yiguang said..."

Ha ha.

Princess Yiguang sneered.

"Lord Lingzong, I don't know if the nobleman has forgotten things too much or he has never taken it to heart."

"More than 50 years ago, our neighbors violated the border, and we are in danger like today. Countless good sons left their parents and went out of the house, and went to the battlefield with crude weapons. Some became famous, but most of them died in the battle. Didn't come back either."

"Fortunately, we finally pacified Siye and restored the glory of the empire."

"Every clan elder, do you remember?"

"Remember." A bunch of people nodded.

"How could you forget this?"

"That's right, that meeting was really dangerous. A small broken country in Nanfeng almost hit the Xinglan Grand Canal. It is indeed a bit similar to today, but it was replaced by Japanese pirates from the east..."

"It's fine if you don't forget." Princess Yiguang nodded in satisfaction.

She stood up and slowly swept around everyone in the main hall.

"All of you are of the blood of the royal family. You are born high and high, and you are born to enjoy the glory and wealth that ordinary people will never dream of touching. After a long time of extravagance, do you really think that you are born noble, so all people respect you?"

"This..." Many people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Princess Yiguang ignored them, and continued: "Or maybe everyone here thinks that it is natural for soldiers or ordinary people outside to go to the battlefield to kill enemies for our royal family?"

"You are wrong."

Speaking of this, Princess Yiguang shook her head lightly, her eyes were as calm as water.

"When the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, they go to the battlefield not for the poor soldiers, let alone to protect our so-called royal family, but for their children to live in a safe world in the future, without having to worry about it every day. "

"To put it bluntly, the reason why they are desperate has never had anything to do with you royal family."

There was silence all around.

Everyone was dumbfounded, but didn't know how to refute for a moment.

"Water can carry a boat and overturn it. This is a saying passed down by our ancestors, and everyone should have heard it."

"The occasional absurdity of the royal family may be nothing, but you turn a blind eye to such things as betraying the country and seeking glory with foreign enemies. I am afraid that the big ship of the Chen family will not last long."
