The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 235 Insufficient success
When Niu Jizong saw that he had just finished speaking, Huo Kun couldn't help jumping out to force everyone to express their opinions, and couldn't help scolding him for being stupid. Sure enough, after Huo Kun finished speaking, there were very few people who responded.Seeing this situation, Niu Jizong glared at Huo Kun, who was at a loss, and had no choice but to stand up and make amends for him, "The prince of Nan'an is also eager to save his father, please forgive me, this time there is absolutely no intention to force everyone."

"It's not that we don't want to contribute, it's that we can't do enough, just like my family is just guarding their ancestral property for a living, and they can't speak in the court!" Liu Fang of the Liguo Duke's Mansion spoke first.

With his provocation, people started to talk about it immediately, one said that his family was struggling, and the other said that he had ignored the affairs of the government and so on. All of a sudden, there were voices of complaints, but no one raised a question. feasible way.

This time Niu Jizong also felt that his face was a bit uneasy, and he slapped the table heavily, "Don't forget, our nobles are getting weaker and weaker in the court, if the Nan'an Palace collapses again, it will be bad for everyone No good!"

The old god Chen Ruiwen of the Duke of Qi's mansion said, "Old Niu, everyone understands the truth you said, but what we said is the truth. Take our family as an example. Since my father passed away, I have only been in the court He has the title of a doctor in the Ministry of War, and he almost never goes to the government office, and he has long been indifferent to the government." Speaking of this, he felt that it was not enough, and said to Jia She, who was beside him, "Enhou, since the death of Duke Xianrong, You haven't been out of the house for many years, right?"

Jia She replied with a wry smile, "How do you talk about me and our family's situation in a good way? Everyone sitting here is not an outsider, so why bother to ask?"

Niu Jizong didn't know what to say. These guys spoke better than they sang.He is very clear that except for a very few of them, their families have indeed declined, but most of them are emaciated camels that are bigger than horses.Which family does not have any old disciples, just like the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion, the contacts left by two generations of Rongguo Dukes alone cannot be underestimated.

"Hmph, everyone, don't use these words to prevaricate me. We all know each other well. Let's not talk about it, let's just say that it's the New Year's Eve recently. Which one of your homes is not full of guests, welcoming and seeing off every day?" What kind of people are there, don’t I have to break it down?”

Facing Niu Jizong's questioning, everyone was speechless for a moment.After a while, it was Liu Fang who said, "Our relations are all in the military, and the weight of speaking in the court is not as important as that of civil officials. Besides, there is no one to lead. How can we achieve great things in this messy mess?" After coming out, everyone's eyes were cast on Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong and Mu Xu.

As the person who bears the brunt, Shui Rong had no choice but to stand on top. He bowed to everyone first, and then replied with a wry smile, "It's not because Xiao Wang doesn't want to pick this head. It's because the current situation is unclear. If we act rashly , I am afraid that there is the intention of persecuting the king, so Xiao Wang feels that this movement is not as good as silence."

"Oh, it's just an excuse to protect yourself. This is indeed your Beijing Palace's forte. Didn't you do it once before, and it's okay to do it again?" Huo Kun sneered, pointing the finger at Shui Rong directly, saying The words are even more ugly.

"You..." Shui Rong was furious when he heard the words, and then found that besides Huo Kun, there were quite a few people who agreed with him.He couldn't bear it any longer, and said with righteous indignation, "I know that there are many people who hold the same opinion as Prince Nan'an, but most of you, except for Dongping Palace, just enjoy wealth and honor in the capital. In order to prevent the barbarians from going south, all eleven members of my family died young. When it came to my father, he was the only one left, and his health was not good. In order to prevent my Shui family from becoming extinct, he asked What's wrong with the imperial court's request to withdraw the feudal domain? Don't tell Xiao Wang about Xining Palace and Nan'an Palace, everyone knows what their fiefs are like!"

"Prince Beijing's words are true, and this son can prove it. After all, Liaodong, where my family is guarding, is not far from it. Everyone only sees that our two families are high and powerful, but they have never thought about our real situation. When it is winter there, always Not to mention that a drop of water turns into ice, and every autumn when the horses are fat, those nomads always come to harass the border, if you are not careful, you will be doomed!" Mu Xu stood up and said loudly.

Hearing what Mu Xu said, Shui Rong hurriedly saluted him, thanking him for speaking up for his family, and Mu Xu also replied that he just said something fair.Seeing the scene where the two of them were pushing and giving way, Huo Kun was suddenly furious, and he heard him say in a strange way, "You guys stop acting here, who doesn't know that your two families are now closely following the royal family, and you will not treat your family as your own." One of the Honorable Ones."

"Hey, from Brother Huo's tone, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism has become a problem. Could it be that your family is going to do something big?" Mu Xu countered pretending to be surprised.

"I...I didn't mean that, don't spit blood!" Huo Kun was seized by Mu Xu and turned into an army, and immediately became angry from embarrassment.After all, if this word reached the emperor's ears, something bad would happen.

At this time, Niu Jizong was extremely disappointed with Huo Kun, a pig teammate. He obviously wanted something from others, but he was still talking nonsense here.But as the initiator of this gathering, he still had to stand up to smooth things over, "Okay, everyone, don't say a few words, don't hurt your peace just because of a few words of quarrel." While speaking, he stared fiercely. Xiang Huo Kun, and then sternly said, "Nephew Huo Xian, don't apologize to the prince and the prince yet!"

Huo Kun was stared at by Niu Jizong, and he also realized that he had messed up something big, so he hurriedly bowed to Shui Rong and Mu Xu, "I'm worried about my father, so I'm a little unscrupulous, please forgive me!"

"Xiao Wang doesn't dare to be that!" Shui Rong shook off his sleeves with a cold face, and walked away without paying any attention to the people present.With Shui Rong taking the lead, several nobles who didn't want to go through the muddy water took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye, and Mu Xu naturally followed suit. He didn't wait for Niu Jizong to persuade him, and he said first, "Niu Shibo, this New Year's Eve There are a lot of things going on in the house, let's talk about things later!"

In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left in the hall. Niu Jizong went back to the head and sat down with a dark face, without saying a word for a long time.Huo Kun, who had no winks, stepped forward to complain, "Uncle Niu, they are too disrespectful to you, you know..."

As the leader of the nobles in the capital, Niu Jizong is naturally not afraid of Huo Kun, the prince of Nan'an.But what he never expected was that even in such a situation, this bastard would dare to sow discord.At that moment, he couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and slapped Huo Kun on the face.

He struck with anger, and the strength can be imagined. The corner of Huo Kun's mouth was broken, his hair was disheveled, and he even fell to the ground directly.He still didn't think it was enough, pointed his halberd and cursed, "You heartless bastard, what is the reason for my hard work today? You bastard, if you don't want to help, you can't help it, but you are still here. , if it wasn't for your grandmother and your father's sake, I would have to kill you today!"

Huo Kun is so old, besides being beaten by Mu Xu, this is the second time in his life that he was beaten. He was stunned for a moment, and then annoyed, but when he heard Niu Jizong's scolding, he immediately felt as if he had been doused. Basin of cold water, cold from beginning to end, lying on the ground for a long time without getting up.

Still, Shi Ding on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and dissuaded him loudly, "Mr. Niu, please calm down! Nephew Huo Xian is just young and energetic, and he was a little impulsive at the moment. Our top priority now is to rescue the Prince of Nan'an first. "

Niu Jizong sighed, "Oh, although we don't oppress us and other nobles like the late emperor, it is not easy to be fooled. So I planned to take this opportunity today to raise the princes of King Beijing and Prince Dongping, and let them The two leaders, let's beat the side drum again to intercede for King Nan'an. After all, the two of them have more weight in the royal family, especially the son of Prince Dongping." Speaking of this, he looked at Huo Kun on the ground, hating iron. Steel said,

"But this guy, it's fine if he doesn't compliment others, but because of some small grievances and grievances in the past, he keeps mocking and ridiculing him. For the current plan, he has to take one step at a time and play by ear."
