The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Jinling City became "lively" because of the arrival of King Jing and King Wei.

As soon as King Jing arrived at Jinling City, he organized the imperial examination, but no student signed up to take part.He had anticipated this situation before coming to Jinling City.

He asked the prefect of Jinling to send people to persuade those poor students to sign up for the imperial examination, so that they did not have to be afraid. With King Jing around, no one could stop them from taking the imperial examination.

The prefect of Jinling agreed on the surface, but secretly he was perfunctory.When King Jing found out, he beat the Jinling prefect unceremoniously and gave him fifty blows.Not only that, he also imprisoned the Jinling prefect and some police officers.

King Jing knew that the aristocratic families were obstructing the imperial examination, so he went to find them. As he expected, the aristocratic families did not take him as King Jing seriously at all.Although he was angry, he did not lose his mind.

He took the token given to him by Queen Xie and went to the Song family.Sure enough, when the Song family saw the token, they showed their loyalty to him without any hesitation and listened to his orders.

The head of the Song family and the young master told King Jing in detail about the situation in Jinling City.After hearing this, King Jing felt a storm in his heart.Before coming to Jinling City, Queen Xie had told him that Jinling City belonged to the prince and the Duke, but he did not fully believe it. He did not expect that this was really the case, and that it had even reached the point of lawlessness.

With the help of the Song family, many students from poor families began to sign up to take the imperial examination.

The Li family and the Fang family did not expect that the Song family would betray them and support King Jing.

Opposing the imperial examination, the Song family did not participate because no one in their family applied for the imperial examination.The Song family didn't care whether the imperial examination could be held smoothly, so the Song family did not send anyone to threaten the poor children.

Except for not participating in the opposition to the imperial examination, the Song family rarely participated in the political affairs of Jinling City.The Song family only wanted to make money selling salt and did not want to get involved in court affairs.Of course, the Song family often gave money to the prince and Duke Zhen.

Although the Li family is a member of the Salt Gang, it is far behind the Song family.The Song family has hundreds of years of heritage in Jinling City and is truly the richest man in Jinling City.Not only that, it has a longer history than other aristocratic families.

On the surface, the boss of Jinling City is the Shen family, the head of the aristocratic family, but the real boss is the Song family.

The Song family supported King Jing, but the Li family and the Fang family found it difficult to accept it.

At Fang's house, Fang Zhimiao scolded Song Qingyun angrily.

When Song Qingyun was scolded, there was no anger on his face, but he was very calm.

Li Jue sat aside and looked coldly at Song Qingyun who looked calm.

Fang Zhimiao became even more angry when she saw that Song Qingyun didn't respond at all after he had been scolding him for a long time.

"Song Qingyun, what do you mean?"

Song Qingyun put down the tea cup in his hand and said softly: "Have you scolded enough?"

"You..." Fang Zhimiao's face became distorted, and his eyes looking at Song Qingyun were full of evil.

Li Jue asked with a cold tone: "Song Qingyun, what do you, the Song family, want to do?"

Song Qingyun said in a calm tone: "We, the Song family, just want to help King Jing so that the imperial examination can be held smoothly in Jinling."

With a bang, Fang Zhimiao kicked away the low table in front of him.He roared at Song Qingyun: "You actually want to support King Jing in conducting the imperial examination. Song Qingyun, has your brain been eaten by a pig?"

Li Jue did not shout angrily like Fang Zhimiao. He asked in a neutral tone: "Why betrayed?"

"Betrayal?" Song Qingyun chuckled, "Where do you start talking about betrayal? Our Song family has never said that we will be loyal to the prince and the Duke of Zhenguo, nor have we said that we are loyal to you."

Fang Zhimiao's face looked ugly: "What do you mean?"

"You guys are not truly loyal to the Crown Prince and the Duke of Zhen. How come you come here to accuse our Song family of betraying the Crown Prince and them?" Song Qingyun felt that the words of Fang Zhimiao and Li Jue were so funny, and there was a sneer on his face, "We Song family I only have a cooperative relationship with you, and I am not your dog."

Fang Zhimiao shouted with a ferocious look: "Song Qingyun!!!"

"Don't you, the Song family, never participate in court affairs?" Li Jue was more puzzled than angry, "Why do you suddenly support King Jing? What's so special about King Jing?" In Li Jue's opinion , King Jing is not as good as His Highness the Crown Prince.

"I didn't participate before, but now I do." Song Qingyun said, "As for why you support King Jing, it's not for you to know. You only need to know that our Song family is now King Jing's people, and we, the Song family, will never help again from now on. The Crown Prince and the Duke of Zhen."

Li Jue didn't believe that the Song family would help King Jing for no reason. There must be some unknown reason for this.

"By the way, if you continue to help the prince and the Duke of Zhen, you will be the enemy of our Song family." Song Qingyun's expression is still gentle and his tone is kind, but his words are very sharp. "Our families have been family friends for so many years, and I don't want us to turn against each other because of the Crown Prince and King Jing." He said, looking at Li Jue, "You are a smart person, you should know what it will be like to go against our Song family. fate."

Li Jue's face turned cold instantly: "Are you threatening me?"

Song Qingyun is not afraid of Li Jue.He looked at Li Jue without fear, and admitted frankly: "Yes, I am threatening you. Do you think it is a good deal to go against our Song family for the sake of the prince and Duke Zhen?"

Fang Zhimiao's face was as gloomy as water.

"All of you together are no match for our Song family." Song Qingyun kindly reminded Li Jue and the others, "You will not be able to bear the consequences of offending our Song family. Of course, if you are determined to do it, The prince and his lackeys, then don’t blame us, the Song family, for being ruthless.”

Li Jue and Fang Zhimiao had no intention of becoming the lackeys of the Crown Prince and Duke Zhen, not from the beginning.Although they did not, it did not mean that they were willing to be threatened and intimidated by Song Qingyun.

Song Qingyun stared at Li Jue again: "I know you are extremely smart and capable, but it is not difficult for our Song family to get rid of you."

Li Jue said nothing, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.

"We, the Song family, just want the imperial examination to be held smoothly in Jinling, and we hope that you will stop threatening the children of poor families. Of course, if you are willing to take the imperial examination, King Jing will be very welcome." Song Qingyun said with a amiable look on his face, " Also, we, the Song family, don’t want you to give money to the prince and the others anymore. King Jing can also give you the things that the prince and Duke Zhen have promised you. I hope you can consider it carefully." "Song Qingyun, King Jing will give it to you. What kind of delusion did you drink to make you support him so much?" Fang Zhimiao felt as if he suddenly didn't recognize Song Qingyun.He grew up with Song Qingyun and knew Song Qingyun's temperament well.In the past, Song Qingyun only liked making money and didn't care about things other than making money.He had never said harsh words to the friends they had grown up with, let alone threatened them.

Song Qingyun is like their big brother, he has always taken good care of them and is very tolerant.Now his face suddenly changed, which was hard for Fang Zhimiao to accept.

"I've never seen you support King Jing like this before. What's wrong with you, Song Qingyun?" Fang Zhimiao was very puzzled, "Your Song family has been standing for hundreds of years, isn't it because you never participated in the affairs of the court? Now you actually want to support King Jing to seize the throne, are you crazy?"

Song Qingyun sighed in his heart, if they could, they didn't want to support King Jing, but they had to help King Jing this time.

"We also have something to hide."

Li Jue asked with a cold face: "What's so hard to say?"

Song Qingyun returned to his previous attitude towards Li Jue and the others.He sighed softly and said, "Since it's hard to tell, how can I tell you?"

Fang Zhimiao guessed: "What leverage does your Song family have in King Jing's hands?"

Song Qingyun sneered: "Does Prince Jing have this ability?"

Li Jue said: "Then she is the queen."

Song Qingyun shook her head and said: "Not the queen."

"Who is that?" Fang Zhimiao was anxious, "Brother Yun, can't you tell us the relationship between us?"

"This is the secret of our Song family, how can I tell you." Song Qingyun said in a gentle tone, "The reason why I threatened you just now is because I don't want to be your enemy."

Fang Zhimiao looked very serious and asked: "Brother Yun, do you, the Song family, have to support King Jing?"

Song Qingyun nodded slightly and said: "I have to support King Jing!"

Fang Zhimiao looked at Song Qingyun and then at Li Jue.

Li Jue had a sullen face and said nothing.

"What I threatened you just now was not a joke. Please think about it carefully." Song Qingyun stood up and said, "It's time for me to go back."

After Song Qingyun left, Fang Zhimiao immediately asked Li Jue: "What should we do next? Should we continue to cooperate with the prince and then become enemies of the Song family, or should we give up cooperation with the prince and others and continue to be friends with the Song family?"

"What do you think?"

"Compared with the Prince and the Song family, the Song family is naturally more important. However, we have spent a lot of effort on the Prince and the others over the years. Now that we are suddenly asked to give up on the Prince and the others, wouldn't everything we have done over the years be in vain? ?”

Fang Zhimiao thought more and more strangely: "What did King Jing do to make the Song family so determined to help him?"

"It's not King Jing or the Queen. Who has the ability to let the Song family help King Jing like this?" Li Jue knew the situation in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion better. "In the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, only Zhen Guo Gong and his son are smarter. The others are smarter. Everyone is a loser, and none of them should be able to make the Song family obey."

Fang Zhimiao guessed: "Maybe there is a powerful person we don't know about in the Zhenguo Palace."

"Impossible, if there is a powerful person in the Zhenguo Palace, the Zhenguo Palace will never hide it." Li Jue tapped his fingers lightly on the low table in front of him and said thoughtfully, "The Zhenguo Palace The vast majority of people in the palace support the prince, and few support King Jing."

"If you say that, you are not from the Zhenguo Palace."

Fang Zhimiao's words awakened Li Jue, and he said with a look of astonishment on his face: "Then it is possible that she is the wife of the Duke of Laozhen. She is from Jinling or a member of the Jin family. The Song family used to have an unusual relationship with the Jin family. "

"It's really possible."

Li Jue confirmed: "It seems to be related to the wife of the Duke of Laozhen."

"Grandma, they should know the relationship between the Duke's wife in Laozhen and the Song family. We will ask when we go back later." Fang Zhimiao thought of Song Qingyun's words just now, and his eyebrows twisted into the word "Chuan", "The Song family suddenly supported Jing King, it’s really difficult for us.”

"This matter needs to be carefully considered."

"We can postpone whether we continue to cooperate with the prince or not, but the Song family will not give us time for the imperial examination." Fang Zhimiao was right, after all, there were only a few days until the imperial examination. "Besides, the Song family has already taken action. With the support of the Song family, those poor people will naturally dare to sign up."

In addition to the Li family and the Fang family who were surprised, King Wei was also very surprised that the Song family supported King Jing.

The Southern Wei people hiding in the Song family heard the news and immediately reported it to the King of Wei.

After hearing this, King Wei was very shocked. He did not expect that the wife of the Duke of Laozhen would leave such a big helper from the Song family to the Queen and King Jing.

Mrs. Laozhen Guogong is really capable.

"Your Majesty, do we want to stop the Song family?"

"It would be interesting to stop the Song family from doing anything and let the Song family accompany King Jing to make trouble." King Wei found it very interesting when he thought about the reaction of Duke Zhen and the Crown Prince when they learned that the Song family supported Queen Jing.If he hadn't guessed, the prince would be furious in the East Palace at this moment, and the justice of the country would have a headache.
