Princess of the auxiliary country

Huo Jingzhi still looked deeper than Princess Ningyang.

Things have reached this point. Even if the Zheng family gives in temporarily, what will happen in the future?

This is a noble clan that has been passed down for thousands of years. Who knows how many things are hidden behind them?

If they don't beat the opponent severely this time, who knows how they will target Duke Ji's Mansion?

Compared with the big troubles that will come to Duke Ji's mansion in the future, being criticized is really nothing.

"Over the years, the Zheng family has said a lot of bad things in private. If it were revealed, no one would sympathize with them."

"And this time, it's not just the Zheng family. According to Yaoyao's arrangement, the Zheng family is a target used to divert other nobles' targets."

"If we just let go for the sake of face, while giving the Zheng family a chance to breathe, I am afraid that other noble clans will also turn their attention to Yaoyao this time."

"Only the Zheng family starts to be weak and shows its fatness, so that it can attract the attention of other noble families."

Hearing his words, Huo Jinyan nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Lu Tingfeng, who was beside him, also said, "My father-in-law is right, we can't let them go like this."

"My son-in-law also has some evidence about the Zheng family's private affairs. Since this is the case, let's just be cruel. I believe many people will be happy to see this scene."

What he said is true. The Zheng family has a lot of properties under their name, and their income is quite a lot every year.

At the same time, the Zheng family also occupies a lot of positions in the court. If they really attack the Zheng family, many people will be willing. After all, there are only so many positions in the court. If the Zheng family is eliminated, a lot of seats will be freed up.

Wouldn't the other noble families and the princes not care?

These are all good opportunities to increase your own power.

Just as he said, at this moment in the capital, all the major mansions, not only the nobles but also the nobles, are all analyzing and discussing something.

"It's true that I underestimated Huo Junyao. I didn't expect that she would do something like this."

In Prince Qi's Mansion, after understanding the causes and consequences of today's events, Prince Qi's expression became a little solemn.

Although he was a little wary of Huo Junyao originally, it was not much.

At most, he just thought that she was a little smarter than the average person. But after what happened today, he realized that Huo Junyao was very scheming at such a young age.

He seemed to be arrogant and domineering in doing things, but he followed one step after another, especially the operation of changing the target and driving the tiger to devour the wolf, which made him admire him from the bottom of his heart.

For a moment, he even regretted whether he had underestimated Huo Junyao too much.

"This Princess Zhaode is indeed extraordinary, but His Highness Prince Qi, there is no need to worry too much."

"Although you have some unpleasantness with her, it has not reached the point of life and death. At worst, try not to confront her in the future."

Hearing this, although King Qi felt that this was a bit embarrassing, he had to admit that Huo Junyao was indeed a bit troublesome.

"Sir, what you said is absolutely correct. She doesn't support the prince, let alone the King of Chu. She is not a big threat to me. If you don't confront me, you won't confront me."

He still has two powerful opponents now, but there is no need to find a difficult enemy for himself at this time.

"It's good for Your Highness to think so. He is not an enemy in the first place, but it is necessary to make enemies. As for making friends, it is not necessary."

"Speaking of which, Princess Zhaode has indirectly given some benefits to His Highness King Qi this time."    "Oh?"

King Qi was slightly startled, as he did not understand what the benefits mentioned by the gentleman in front of him were.

"Although I don't know Princess Zhaode very well, judging from her thunderous actions and scheming this time, she is definitely not an indecisive person."

"The Zheng family's affairs will definitely not end like this."

The King of Qi on the opposite side frowned slightly and asked with some uncertainty, "Sir, do you mean that Duke Ji will continue to attack?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before the other party could refute, he shook his head and denied, "No, my little uncle is not a ruthless person. Since the Zheng family has bowed his head, there is a high probability that he will It won’t continue.”

It has to be said that Duke Ji's reputation is relatively good among the powerful circles in the capital.

Even people like the King of Qi and the King of Chu have quite a bit of respect for Duke Ji. After all, who wouldn't like such a capable minister who is also very self-aware and does not mess around?

However, when the gentleman opposite saw King Qi like this, he just smiled and shook his head.

"Gong Ji Guo is certainly not a ruthless person, but he is definitely not a simple person either."

"Maybe he is usually more easy-going, but not everything can make him indifferent."

"Let's just talk about what happened this time. Zheng Wengong was treated like this. Although Mrs. Zheng has lowered her head to admit defeat, His Highness also knows what the plan is."

"It's just that they want to calm down this matter as soon as possible, but it doesn't mean that they will really treat it as if nothing happened."

Just kidding, Zheng Wengong, as the direct member of the Zheng family with the highest official position in the imperial court, represents the face of the Zheng family.

Now that Zheng Wengong is being treated like this by Princess Zhaode, it can be said that the face of Zheng Wengong and the Zheng family has been completely torn off, thrown to the ground, and stepped on several times.

Mrs. Zheng will bow her head because the situation is stronger than the person. She has to do so, but if she wants to say let go, it is absolutely impossible. Even if she really thinks so, but what about the other people in the Zheng family?

"The Zheng family has been inherited for thousands of years, and no one dares to say that they know all their powers in detail."

"The matter has reached this point, and it is already a fight to the death. Duke Ji is a smart man. How could he not see how much trouble and danger it will bring to Duke Ji's mansion once the Zheng family recovers?"

"Although Mrs. Zheng pulled her back a little bit about this matter, Zheng Wengong has always been unreasonable."

"Being unreasonable may be used as gossip by some mediocre people, but truly smart people will not think so."

After hearing this, King Qi seemed to react, but still asked with some uncertainty; "Sir, do you mean that Duke Ji will continue to attack the Zheng family?"

"This is inevitable and necessary."

"Only when the Zheng family faces criticism will there be a situation where everyone pushes down the wall. Once this happens, I'm afraid many people will stand up, and among them the nobles will definitely be the first to charge."

"How is this possible?"

The nobles had always been united, and King Qi knew this very well. Since Duke Ji wanted to attack the Zheng family, even if the nobles did not stand up, in his opinion, it was absolutely impossible for them to help Duke Ji attack the Zheng family.

"Why is it impossible? Don't forget how the papermaking workshop came out."
