I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 91

Of course Xin Zhao knew that Zhao Hu was Cui Cen's man, but actually he didn't understand.

It would be fine if it was someone else, but as a member of the Zhao family, a member of the royal family, he actually ran to collude with a foreign minister and a powerful traitor, what was he trying to do?
in law?

what is that?
Even if the Cui family really succeeded in usurping power, as a former clan, can they still hold real power?

So when Xin Zhao said that he was mentally ill, he really wasn't just talking casually.

I called this person here today because I wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him.

Before cleaning up the Cui family, he must clean up the clan.

He absolutely didn't want the clan to be holding back when he attacked the Cui family, that would be too shameful.

In addition, he also wanted to see if this person would be determined to the end.

If possible, he didn't want to take action against the clan casually. In this era, even as an emperor, it would definitely not have a good reputation for doing something against the clan.

In the original book, the Hunjun was so easily defeated in the end, and the reason was also the reason why the clan was completely destroyed.

result……

Sure enough, it is still the case.

That being the case, there is nothing more to say.

Xin Zhao sneered and didn't bother to say more.

With a wave of his hand, Cao Xiong immediately understood, turned his head and waved towards the little yellow gate, and the latter hurriedly turned into the apse.

But Zhao Hu didn't seem to understand the key point of his words, and he straightened his body suddenly, pretending to be a loyal minister desperately admonishing him, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, although you are the emperor, as the clan Zongzheng, Great Qin courtiers still have to say what should be said.

Could it be that His Majesty can't even listen to blunt words? "

Xin Zhao sneered, "Bluntly, what bluntly?

Zhao Hu, now I am not talking to you as the emperor, but as the patriarch of the Zhao clan.

You don't even know what this means? "

Hearing this sentence, not only Zhao Hu, but everyone in the announcement room couldn't help but change their expressions.

To deal with other courtiers, you need the law, you need the court meeting, and you need the three divisions to judge.

But to deal with a member of the Zhao clan as the patriarch, there is absolutely no need for these.

And for people of this era, family law is more terrifying than national law.

Because national law can at best destroy you physically, but family law can destroy you from your surname and from your soul.

Once you are expelled from the clan, you will have no peace even after death, you cannot enter the ancestral hall, you cannot enter the genealogy, and you cannot receive incense.

In a sense, you really don't exist at all.

For people in this era, this is far more terrifying than death.

This is also the reason why in this era...the family and clan are so powerful.

In this era, there are traitors, but there are very few people who judge the clan.

Zhao Hu's expression also changed suddenly.

But he still said unconvinced: "So what, the old man is also Da Zongzheng."

"You are not!"

Just as Zhao Hu finished speaking, an old voice sounded from behind the screen.

Hearing this voice, Zhao Hu's face suddenly changed.

Immediately afterwards, there was an aggressive sound of crutches touching the ground, and a group of old men with white beards and hair came out from the apse.

There are a total of more than ten people, all of them are as old as rotten wood, and the youngest is probably no less than 80 or [-] years old.

The old man in the lead was already as thin as a handful of dry wood. Although his face remained undiminished, his age spots were almost stacked together.

The hand holding the top of the crutch is even more like chicken feet.

But as soon as this person came out, everyone in the announcement room, including Xin Zhao, quickly stood up together.

When Zhao Hu saw this person, his expression changed drastically.

"Great Uncle, Clan Elder...you?!"

"Humph!"

The leading old man glanced at him, snorted coldly, but ignored him, but tremblingly planned to salute the emperor.

Seeing this, Zhao Xin hurriedly went up to support the old man, "Don't do this to the emperor's uncle."

As he spoke, he helped the old man to his position with his own hands, and asked the old man to sit down.

The old man refused to accept it.

"Your Majesty can't be like this. Your Majesty is not only the Emperor of Qin, but also the patriarch of our Zhao Clan. Although I am old, I can't abolish the etiquette."

Then he waved his hand to stop Xin Zhao from letting someone arrange a seat, shook his head and said, "The old man and the others are already people who are going to die, and they shouldn't be involved in these mundane things anymore.

It's just that I heard that my Zhao family has turned out to be a scum who eats inside and out! "

As the old man said, his angry eyes turned to Zhao Hu.

When the latter heard the old man's words, his expression changed drastically.

"No, I don't. Cui Xiang is the pillar of the Great Qin Dynasty. As Zongzheng, I befriended him because of the Zhao family, and my marriage with the Cui family was also arranged by the empress dowager..."

"Hmph, what empress dowager?!"

Before Zhao Hu finished speaking, one of the old people groaned angrily, "What empress dowager? After all, she is only a daughter-in-law of my Zhao family, with a foreign surname! She dares to stretch out her hand randomly, and the old man will fight to death I also want to remove her from my Zhao family tree, does she dare?"

The other old people also snorted together.

Everyone present changed color slightly again.

Zhao Hu was even more mournful, muttering incoherently to himself, "No, this, this is impossible, uncle, you..."

But no one paid any attention to him.

A group of old people glanced at him, and then said to Zhao Dao again: "Patriarch, can I hand over this scum to the old man and others to deal with it?
Such a scum has never been seen in my Zhao family since the age of the ancient god emperors to follow the god emperors to make contributions, to the middle ages when they were entrusted to establish a country, and to the emperor Taizu who ruled the Qin Dynasty!

This time, the patriarchal law must be severely punished to sue the latecomers. The patriarchal law must not be violated lightly! "

Xin Zhao paused slightly when he heard the words. He invited these old men out of the mountain, but he never thought of letting them deal with Zhao Hu.

Although there are advantages in this, for example, with the old man's words, from now on, no one will use him to imprison the Queen Mother and say that he is unfilial.

And if Zhao Hu is dealt with by the clan, no one will say that he killed the clan.

But in this way, the power of the clan was also virtually strengthened.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why several old people cooperated so actively?

The old man saw that he hesitated, but there was a gleam of wisdom in his cloudy eyes, and then he said righteously again: "Besides, there are those boys like King Chu and King Qi, who are also bastards.

After you, the emperor, have dealt with the national thieves, if those bastards dare not withdraw their troops and plead guilty, the old man and others will also expel them all from the genealogy! "

Hearing what he said, Xin Zhao couldn't help but change his expression.

Obviously this sentence moved him.

Not only him, but even Nan Cang and the others' eyes lit up.

Although the king of Chu and others have already raised their troops, they will never give up just because they were expelled from the genealogy.

The arrow is on the string, how can you die with nothing?
But if these old people come forward together to issue this announcement, it will definitely be a huge psychological blow to the rebels.

Thinking of this, Xin Zhao couldn't help but look at the group of smiling old men, and he couldn't help sighing inwardly.

Sure enough, he is old and mature!

This bargaining chip, this measure...

It was so good that he couldn't refuse it at all.

That's it!

Xin Zhao weighed it up, nodded and said: "In this way, Uncle Lao and all the elders will be old."
