Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 242;

"Brother Han, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."

When Dong Zixiu returned home, he took his son and went straight to the main hall. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and cupped his hands at Han Jingcong who was sitting in the hall with a dark face.

He was very clear about Han Jingcong's intentions.

Gao Yanming was dismissed from office, and now the position of prime minister falls to his Dong family, the Han family must come to ask for an explanation.

"Brother Dong, your Dong family is not kind."

Han Jingcong was not in the mood to greet Dong Zixiu.

Ever since he knew that Gao Yanming had been dismissed, he wanted to come over, but he sent someone to come over, and the answer he got was that Dong Zixiu was not at the house when he was away on business.

No, just now the servants of his house reported that they saw Dong Zixiu's carriage coming back.

He immediately came to Dong Zixiu for an explanation without stopping.

As a result, it was only after entering the door that Dong Zixiu was transferred to Dong Qingyang's residence.

This made him, who was already dissatisfied, even more dissatisfied.

Is it so happy?
Didn't go back home first after coming back from outside, just went directly to celebrate?

Because of such dissatisfaction, his tone at this time was full of thorns.

"Brother Han, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"not understand?"

"Master Dong Zixiu pretended to be confused in front of me. Your Dong family must give my Han family an explanation for today's matter, otherwise this matter will never end."

Hearing this, Dong Zixiu, who was still smiling, immediately sank.

"Explain? I don't know what my Dong family has done, do I need to explain to the Han family?"

Seeing that the other party was still pretending, Han Jingcong didn't detour, and asked directly about the position of left minister falling to his Dong family.

His tone was very dissatisfied, and he even secretly stated that it was their Dong family who had done something shameful, which made Dong Qingyang's post of left minister suddenly assigned to him.

You must know that in the early dynasty, although Gao Yanming was dismissed, Dong Qingyang temporarily took over the affairs of the left minister.

That is only a temporary substitute, the result?

In just one or two hours, this provisional code was implemented.

There was something strange about it, and Han Jingcong naturally thought that the Dong family had reached a deal with His Majesty.

Otherwise, the Dong family used some means to snatch this seat.

"I see."

Dong Zixiu nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down, took a sip of tea, and then asked slowly, "Brother Han is really being unreasonable."

"Based on what you said, can the position of Zuo Xiang only be Gao or Han?"

"Hmph, if you say I'm unreasonable, then it's your Dong family who broke the rules first."

Han Jingcong snorted coldly.

In today's Dongzhou court, [-] to [-]% of the officials are related to the aristocratic family.

Because most of them are their own people, in order to prevent fighting, the power holders of the major families have made an agreement that all officials related to the family should not attack each other in the court.

As for some positions in the imperial court, there is also some tacit understanding among the aristocratic families.

Both parties will discuss in private, who should go up and who should step back.

Anyway, some important positions and major families take turns to sit.

Of course, there are also many conflicts of interest involved.

These years, the Han family has invested an unknown amount of manpower and material resources on Gao Yanming.

It was not easy to support Gao Yanming to the position of Prime Minister Zuo, and he just started to enjoy the benefits that Gao Yanming brought to their family.

Originally thinking of developing for a few more years, they tried to find a way to suppress the Dong family and become the first family.

it's good now.

Gao Yanming was suddenly dismissed from his post, and his years of hard work were gone.

But when Han Jingcong got the news at first, although he was furious, there was nothing he could do about it. Jin Yang's affairs were too troublesome.

Since Gao Yanming was already like this, it was useless to struggle, so he wrote a letter and sent it back to the family.

He wanted to ask the patriarch to come forward and talk to the big families, and if necessary, he could pay a little more, and try to get the position of Zuoxiang back into the hands of the Han family.

However, not long after his letter was sent out, the imperial decree came down.

Dong Qingyang took over the position of Prime Minister Zuo.

Han Jingcong was startled and angry. The reason they could develop so fast was because Gao Yanming was in the position of Zuoxiang.

He wholeheartedly wanted to dominate the Dong family, but now it's all right, Gao Yanming has lost his prime minister, and the Dong family has actually taken over.

This shit, doesn't it mean that the Han family will be crushed to death again, and it will take many years to turn around.

"I don't know when the Dong family broke the rules?"

"I've also heard about what happened in the courtroom today. Gao Yanming lost the position of left chancellor. It's his own fault."

"Qingyang is going up, that's His Majesty's intention, the imperial decree is issued, do members of your Han family dare to disobey it?"

This Han Jingcong is really making trouble for no reason.

When he heard that Dong Qingyang took the position, he was both happy and worried. The position of left prime minister is the pinnacle of civil servants.

The Dong family has not seen such a high-status talent for many years.

He is very clear about how much benefit a left minister can bring to the family.

But he was also worried that the Han family would not let it go.

Originally, I thought about going to see Dong Qingyang. The two brothers made up their minds, and then told the family to see if they could give up a position to the Han family. It was an explanation for this accidental incident.

However, seeing Han Jingcong's attitude now, he immediately dismissed the idea.

The members of the Han family have become more and more arrogant in recent years.

Originally, it was fine for you to rely on a left minister to be arrogant, but now the position of left minister has been lost.

He didn't want to be an honest man with his tail between his legs, but he even came to question him.

"There is also the position of left minister, which has never been exclusive to your Han family, nor to my Dong family, nor even to any aristocratic family."

"That's what His Majesty has to say. He issued the dismissal order, and he also issued the imperial edict to let Qing Yang go up."

"You are so dissatisfied, why don't you ask His Majesty?"

"Why do you come to me to vent your anger? What right do you have to come and question me?"

Han Jingcong burst into anger at his words.

boom!
I saw him grab the teacup next to him and smash it on the ground heavily.

"Dong Zixiu, could it be that your Dong family is going to go to war?"

"Go to war?"

Dong Zixiu smiled coldly, and said disdainfully, "Can you represent the Han family?"

"Even if you can, do your Han family dare to go to war?"

Don't look at Han Jingcong as the person in charge of the Han family in the capital, but in the final analysis, he is just an outside manager.

Some things can be decided, but he has no ability to decide things like starting a war.

Besides, does the current Han family dare to attack their Dong family?
"you"

Han Jingcong was very angry. Seeing this, Dong Zixiu's tone softened.

"Brother Han, you don't have to be so angry. In the final analysis, Gao Yanming was wrong and made a mistake."

"The position of left chancellor was not removed from my Dong family by him, nor was it taken by my Dong family on my own initiative."

"I can understand that you are angry, but it is really unreasonable to come to question me."

"Our aristocratic family has known each other for many years. Have my Dong family surpassed once in these years? You know the specific situation this time."
