Chapter 896 Small Punishment and Great Commandment
Zhou Yuanai didn't expect that Han Qing's posture level was so high. After a few words, he was even accused of sabotaging the diplomacy between the two countries. The war between Taichu Kingdom and Youlong Kingdom had just stopped, and now It is time for the country to rest and recuperate, and the direct result of militarism is the destruction of the country and its family. Therefore, regardless of any country, a blind war is just self-destruction, and for the current Taichu Kingdom, such a war is desperately needed. Peace.

However, if the Taichu Kingdom tore up the diplomatic agreement with the Kunxu Kingdom, causing the relationship between the two countries to drop to a freezing point, then the people of the Kunxu Kingdom would take advantage of the situation and directly declare war on the Taichu Kingdom, and the Taichu Kingdom might even die. The danger of genocide, therefore, for the Taichu Kingdom, it is absolutely unwilling to sever relations with the Kunxu Kingdom casually.

Therefore, what Han Qing said directly put Zhou Yuan'ai in a disadvantageous situation, and even the middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair became gloomy at this time, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he died. Staring at Zhou Yuanai.

Seeing the change in the eyes of the middle-aged man, Zhou Yuanai almost peed his pants in fright.

Anyone who knows a little about the emperor of the Taichu Kingdom knows that this man's city is extremely deep. When the first emperor was alive, there were more than a dozen princes alive. In the end, he let the youngest and most mediocre prince out of the encirclement. , seized the throne and became the new emperor of Taichu Kingdom.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the famous Nine Dragons Seizing the Inheritance in the Kingdom of Taichu.

Since ancient times, the selection of the emperor of the Tian family must have been accompanied by countless political confrontations and bloodshed. When the first emperor was alive, there were fourteen princes. Taichu Kingdom is a country based on filial piety. Regardless of whether the elder brother is outstanding or not, as long as there is no direct evidence to prove that he is unqualified to be the heir, he will definitely be selected as the future heir, and the first emperor of Taichu Kingdom did make the eldest son the prince.

It's just that the eldest son of the emperor is a short-lived ghost. He didn't live to be 30 years old. He couldn't wait for the first emperor to die, so he died of overwork on a woman's belly. Once the eldest son of the emperor died, the position of the crown prince was left vacant, leaving the thirteen princes Of course, he stared at the throne with bright eyes.

You know, the emperor is the ruler of the world. Ordinary people only know that the imperial power is supreme, but they don't know how far this supremacy is. Simply put, no matter who is born in this land, then your Everything will belong to the emperor, including your life, youth, ideals, hopes, and even your wife and children. Nothing will belong to you, everything belongs to the emperor.

On the surface, this kind of ownership issue is very unreasonable. Why should one's wife also belong to the emperor? In fact, the reason is very simple. The emperor has soldiers and money in his hands. If you are disobedient, the emperor will kill you. If you are a mother-in-law, you can't even save your life. Therefore, in essence, this country is actually no different from that cultivation world.

Regardless of the cultivation world of any plane, there is only one fundamental principle that remains unchanged, that is, those with big fists have the final say, while those with small fists can only be dictated by others forever. My fate is up to me, God If you step on me, you will go against the heavens. To say this is simply stupid. Of course, your fate is not controlled by the sky, but by someone with bigger fists than you. Do you dare to slap your father away?
From the perspective of the country, the situation is actually very similar to that of the cultivation world. The cultivation world talks about cultivation and talent, while the secular world talks about power and money. Those who do less money, this is the truth that cannot be changed in ancient and modern times.

Besides, in the Nine Dragons struggle for succession in the Kingdom of Taichu, since the eldest son of the emperor passed away and one of the princes became vacant, all the officials in the court immediately started to stand in line, and even those officials other than Wang Jing also chose themselves. The object of allegiance, there was a turbulent undercurrent in the world for a while, and the officials and temple officials from all over the country were vying for such a candidate for the heir to the throne.

At that time, there were three most outstanding princes, one was the second son of the emperor, Huangji Ai, the other was the sixth son of the emperor, Huangjichu, and the ninth son of the emperor, Huangjixuanhe. Lord, the status in the harem is not inferior to that of the queen at the time, and since there is such a backer behind the second son of the emperor, at least four ministers in the three provinces and six ministries have declared their loyalty to him at one time, and the sixth son of the emperor is in control. The Longwen Army, one of the three major military regiments in the country, has unfathomable prestige in the Ministry of War. No one dares to underestimate the sixth son of the emperor, and the ninth son of the emperor holds more than a dozen censors in his hands, even with the Minister of Rites at that time. He flirts with each other and becomes a figure that officials all over the world are very cautious about.

The three princes were very popular in the temple at that time, and the officials would definitely argue endlessly over the candidate for the prince every day when they went to court. The throne will fall to the head of the fourteenth son of the emperor.

No one could have imagined this result. No matter how sophisticated a person was, at that time he did not think that the fourteenth son of the emperor was qualified to inherit the throne. After all, the fourteenth son of the emperor had no foundation in the court. How could a person without foundation succeed in seizing the throne?

However, the facts slapped everyone in the face. The throne finally fell into the hands of the fourteenth son of the emperor. The sixth son who had the highest voice saw this scene, of course he refused to let it go. Unexpectedly, when the six sons of the emperor raised their troops, the Ninth Five Chamber of Commerce, which was not involved in the government at all, suddenly appeared, blocked in front of the Longwen army, and directly defeated the Longwen army in one fell swoop.

And it wasn't until the defeat of the Longwen Army that the officials knew that the fourteenth son of the emperor had the backing of the Ninth Five Chamber of Commerce. To cultivate disciples, the most important thing is that the members of the Ninth Five Chamber of Commerce also participate in commercial activities, and their influence spreads all over the sixteen countries of Wuling. Even a country like Kunxu Kingdom also has the influence of the Nine Five Chamber of Commerce.

The fourteenth son of the emperor received the support of the Ninth Five Chamber of Commerce in a calm manner. Of course, it is easy to secure the throne.

But now, the Ninth Five Chamber of Commerce has fallen into the hands of Princess Nine. Although she does not handle the daily affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, she is the apparent owner of the Chamber of Commerce after all. Therefore, in the palace, her status is relatively higher. It is stipulated that when the princess becomes an adult, she will move out of the palace to live. However, in order to show the gratitude of the current emperor to the incident of taking the heir, the nine princesses did not move out of the palace until they became adults, but have been living in the Baihua Palace in Da Nei. .

Closer to home, besides, in the Longyun Palace at this time, Zhou Yuanai saw the twinkling eyes of the middle-aged man on the dragon chair, and immediately got up and walked to the hall, knelt down on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty has been wronged, I will definitely not The meaning of undermining the diplomacy between the two countries, the official is loyal to the court and His Majesty, how could he do something that undermines the diplomacy between the two countries?"

"Since you haven't done it, then why do you want to make things difficult for me, a citizen of Kunxu Kingdom? Deputy Leader Zhou, we real people don't tell lies, and bright people don't do secret things. Do you want to destroy the diplomacy between the two countries? Take advantage of the situation and join forces with people from Kunxu Kingdom or Youlong Kingdom to seize the seal and become emperor?" Han Qing said with a smile.

These words are really embarrassing. If the words just now were just pouring dirty water on Zhou Yuanai, the words now are simply pushing Zhou Yuanai into the fire pit. The former is just a matter of ability, and the latter The first is the question of loyalty and infidelity. What do people in the Tian family taboo most?It's not that you are not good enough, nor is it that you are incapable. Ability can be cultivated. People in the Tian family most taboo are those who are disloyal to the Tian family. How many capable people are there in the world?It can be said that there are countless people. Why can't these capable people be reused?The most fundamental reason is that the Tian family doesn't know whether these capable people and strangers are loyal to them. If they are not loyal, then using these people is not tantamount to self-destruction?Therefore, for the Tian family, as long as you are loyal enough, then, no matter whether you are good enough, the Tian Tian will not care at all.

Besides, Han Qing at this time is obviously suspected of taking advantage of your illness to kill you. Then Han Qing just slandered Zhou Yuanai's double-mindedness, and the latter hadn't had time to wash away his suspicions. If you don't, how can Zhou Yuanai bear it if you put a hat of treason on your head?

Hearing Han Qing's words, Zhou Yuan'ai's face turned pale. He stared at Han Qing and shouted, "Little bastard, you have to be responsible for what you say! When will I have the ambition to rebel?"

Han Qing smiled and didn't speak. The middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair's face softened a little. He didn't have to worry about Zhou Yuan'ai's loyalty. After all, everything in the Zhou family was given by himself. How can the Zhou family keep their glory and wealth?Besides, Zhou Yuanai wanted to rebel, which is even more nonsense. Zhou Yuanai didn't have a single soldier in his hands, but he was just the deputy leader of the Imperial Forest Army. The Imperial Forest Army was under his control. You can ask the Royal Forest Army to bring all the Zhou family, old and young, so why worry about a mere Zhou Yuanai rebelling?

However, although the Zhou family didn't have the ambition of rebellion, they might as well take advantage of this to beat Zhou Yuan'ai, lest this kid get carried away and lose his way.

Thinking of this, I saw the middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair speak expressionlessly, and said: "Okay, Zhou Yuanai, I know your thoughts very well, and I will not have the slightest loyalty to me from the Zhou family. Doubt, but you should know the purpose of hosting a banquet here today. It is to thank Ninth Sister's benefactor. Now that Ninth Sister's benefactor has just appeared in the Lucky Palace, you can't wait to make things difficult for him. You are my If you make things difficult for Han Qing, doesn’t it mean that I want to make things difficult for Han Qing? Do you want to tell the world that this is how I treat guests? I have always been able to avenge my benefactors, but never do it.”

"I don't dare!" Zhou Yuanai said, "Your Majesty, if you are found guilty, ask your majesty to punish you."

"I don't want to make things big today, so I'll fine you two years' salary. Your father is the court secretary, and two years' salary might not affect your Zhou family. But this time, it's a small punishment. If you dare to do this again in the future, don’t blame me for being rude.” The middle-aged man said slowly, his tone not angry and pretentious, “Although the fighting at the border has just stopped, it doesn’t mean that Taichu Kingdom can Let go of your vigilance against You Longguo, if you are willing, I will let you go to the border to meet the people of Youlongguo, and I will also ask Zhou Aiqing to hone you kid."

Zhou Yuanai's complexion changed slightly that day. These words were undoubtedly threatening him. If he dared to target Han Qing again, it would not be as simple as a fine, but he would be dismissed from office.

Realizing this, Zhou Yuanai's attitude became more sincere, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never commit another crime, and I will never do anything that will damage the reputation of the Tian Family!"

"That's the best!" The middle-aged man said expressionlessly, then his eyes fell on Han Qing, and he said: "Han Xiaoyou, please take a seat. The delicious food comes first, and please don't let me down."

Hearing this, Han Qing smiled, bowed his head and made a bow, and then took the last seat on the left.
