"Brother-in-law, you are back!"
Zuo Xiangfu, seeing Xiao Ping entering the door, the living room was silent for a moment.
Immediately, a middle-aged man in rich clothes stood up quickly and came over with a smile.
"Um!"
Xiao Ping looked calm and nodded lightly to the middle-aged man.
This person is the current head of the Fu family, Fu Yanjie, Fu Junru's younger brother, and Xiao Ping's brother-in-law. He has a high reputation in southern Hunan in recent years.
"Master Xiao!"
The other people in the room also came to their senses, and immediately stood up and bowed to Xiao Ping, not daring to be as casual as Fu Yanjie.
Regardless of status or cultivation strength, Xiao Ping is far above them.
Although they were backed by three major families, Xiao Ping was backed by the entire Great Xia Dynasty!
Xiao Ping returned the greetings to everyone, and then looked at a middle-aged woman sitting in the main seat, casting a questioning look.
The middle-aged woman looks dignified and has a gentle demeanor. She is clearly Xiao Ping's wife, Fu Junru.
Seeing Xiao Ping's look, she immediately understood, smiled slightly, and said: "Yan Jie and the two family heads came to see you yesterday for something. If you didn't come back last night, I left them waiting for you in the house."
"Since you're back, let's just talk to you. I'll go back first!"
After saying that, he bowed slightly to several people and said, "You are free to do whatever you want!"
"Madam, go slowly!" Everyone quickly returned the greeting.
As Fu Junru left, the room suddenly fell silent.
The atmosphere was a bit tense.
People from the three major families all looked at Xiao Ping respectfully, with even flattering expressions on their faces.
Fu Yanjie's expression was reserved. Just now, because Fu Junru was here, he could be more casual. Now that Fu Junru had left and faced Xiao Ping alone, he became a little nervous.
He knew his brother-in-law's temper very well. In front of Xiao Ping, even though he was now the leader of the clan and his cultivation had reached the third level of the God Transformation Realm, he would still feel fearful and nervous.
"sit down!"
Xiao Ping glanced at everyone, said lightly, then turned around and walked to the main seat to sit down.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their original positions.
"Tell me! What do you want from me?"
Xiao Ping picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and looked at Fu Yanjie.
"cough……"
Facing Xiao Ping's gaze, Fu Yanjie felt his scalp numb, but remembering his father's explanation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Brother-in-law, it's like this. Now that the late king has passed away and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, I will wait. The three families specially sent people here to send congratulatory gifts on behalf of the major families in southern Hunan!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ping immediately narrowed his eyes, looked at Fu Yanjie, and said, "Where did you hear about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne?"
Ten days have passed since the death of the late king. It is not surprising that the news has reached southern Hunan.
However, it is only the fifth day since His Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, and the imperial court has not sent anyone to notify officials from various cities to come to pay homage.
According to the normal spread speed, it would take at least half a month to spread throughout Daxia.
What's more, Southern Hunan is located on the southern border of Daxia, close to the Shiwanda Mountains. No matter how fast the spread is, it is impossible to know about this now!
So, how do they know?
Xiao Ping looked at Fu Yanjie quietly with deep eyes.
"this……"
Facing Xiao Ping's gaze, Fu Yanjie's scalp tightened. He looked at the people from the other two major families, but was speechless.
The Shen family and the Cui family also had reserved expressions. Looking at Xiao Ping with a calm expression, everyone felt a sense of depression.
After looking at each other for a moment, the head of the Cui family coughed lightly, gritted his teeth, slightly arched his hands, and said: "Master Zuo Xiang, we..."
"I don't care where you got the news about the Xia Palace, but I have to give you a piece of advice!"
Xiao Ping suddenly waved his hand, narrowed his eyes, looked at the people of the three major families, and said: "Although your Majesty is young and has not been on the throne for a long time, his methods and strategies are by no means inferior to the previous king, and are even better. Of!"
The faces of the three major families were all shocked. They did not expect that Xiao Ping would have such a high opinion of the young King Xia!
Xiao Ping ignored their expressions and continued in a stern tone: "Moreover, your Majesty is different from the late king. He pays more attention to the problems of aristocratic families like you!"
"Since you can know about His Majesty's ascension to the throne, you should also know the fate of the two traitors Dongfang Haoran and Nangong Aotian. Even the two aristocratic families behind them were implicated, and the nine clans were executed!"
"This is the best example!"
Xiao Ping looked at the people of the three major families with blazing eyes, and said in a stern tone: "I'll give you a piece of advice, control your thoughts that you shouldn't have, don't stretch your hands so long, and cooperate with His Majesty's orders. What should be done? , think carefully about what you shouldn’t do!”
"This Daxia will always be His Majesty's Daxia!"
"Otherwise, when His Majesty is done with this period and frees up his hands, what will happen to you..."
Xiao Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and stopped talking suddenly.
But the bodies of the three major families all trembled. They were sweating profusely and their expressions became extremely horrified!
At this moment, a thought arose in their minds: Your Majesty is going to take action against the noble family? !
Thoughts come together, like a long river flooding, and it is out of control!
but……
How can this be? !
Since eight thousand years ago, the two great families Cangming and Aogu rebelled, seized the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, and established themselves as kings.
It was not that the successive Xia kings had never wanted to take action against the aristocratic families of Da Xia.
But no Xia king of the generation could successfully do this!
Because most of these aristocratic sects have been inherited for many years. Firstly, their own strength is not weak. Secondly, their power is complicated and involved with many forces!
Just like the Dongfang Family and the Nangong Family, although these two families were destroyed, there are still many forces involved with them throughout Daxia.
The news has not yet spread completely. When the news does spread, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, and Daxia will inevitably usher in a huge wave of chaos!
There are even some old forces with the two families that may have gotten the news at this moment, but they are just holding back and waiting for Daxia to weaken and launch a fierce attack on Daxia!
Under such circumstances, if Daxia cannot suppress the civil strife as soon as possible, the surrounding enemy countries will take the opportunity to attack Daxia, which will definitely be a fatal blow!
It is even impossible for Daxia to destroy the country because of this!
Just clearing out two aristocratic families can have such a huge impact. Do you want to deal with all the aristocratic families and sects in Daxia?
This is no less than a fantasy!
However, looking at Xiao Ping's calm and calm expression, a thought subconsciously arose in the minds of the people from the three major aristocratic families:
Xiao Ping was not exaggerating and deliberately scaring them!
Is it possible that your Majesty is really a talent that is unparalleled?
Is he an emperor comparable to the previous two monarchs of Great Xia? !
"That's it! You can take care of yourself!"
Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Xiao Ping said lightly: "When the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Everyone suddenly woke up!
Immediately, the heads of the Cui family and the Shen family stood up and solemnly raised their hands towards Xiao Ping: "Thank you, Mr. Zuo Xiang, for reminding me. We will keep it in our hearts!"
Regardless of whether what Xiao Ping said is true or false, and regardless of whether His Majesty can successfully solve the problem of the Great Xia family, they all have to accept Xiao Ping's advice.
They knew that Xiao Ping only told them so much for the sake of the Fu family!
Otherwise, with Xiao Ping's character, they might not even be able to see Xiao Ping's face when they come to Zuo Xiangfu!
"I will tell my father, thank you brother-in-law for reminding me!"
At this time, Fu Yanjie also quickly stood up and said.
Although he is the head of the Fu family, in fact, many major events in the Fu family were made by the previous head of the Fu family, Fu Yanjie's father, Fu Chanke.
Including this visit to Zuo Xiangfu was also Fu Chanke's intention.
Just because of what happened back then, Fu Chanke and Xiao Ping had a bad relationship and it was inconvenient to come. Otherwise, Fu Yanjie would never be willing to come to the home of this stubborn and stern brother-in-law.
But he didn't expect that when he came this time, he would hear such shocking news!
Xiao Ping nodded and said calmly: "Moreover, the purpose of your coming here this time should not be as simple as congratulating His Majesty on his enthronement, right?"
"If you want to congratulate His Majesty on your enthronement, why do you come to my Prime Minister Zuo's house first?"
"Brother-in-law has a keen eye!"
Fu Yanjie nodded and said: "Actually, it was my father who heard the news about the destruction of the Dongfang Family and the Nangong Family. My father also took precautions and was worried that Your Majesty would..."
Fu Yanjie's tone paused. Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone understood what he meant.
"So my father, together with the ancestors of the Cui family and the Shen family, asked me and three others to come to the Xia Palace to establish a relationship with His Majesty and find a way to send outstanding disciples from the family to the court to find an official position and serve the court! "
A sneer appeared on Xiao Ping's face, serving the imperial court?
I'm afraid it's just to learn His Majesty's thoughts more quickly in an upright manner, so make plans in advance!
Although he knew the purpose of the three major families in his heart, Xiao Ping did not say much and said calmly: "As I said before, I will not do anything that violates the principles and laws of Daxia!"
"If you want to send someone to enter the imperial court, you can enter through formal examination. As long as you only think about the imperial court, I will not stand in the way!"
"I'll understand later!"
Having said this, everyone still didn't understand what Xiao Ping meant. They immediately stood up and saluted respectfully: "Then I'll take my leave! Thank you, Mr. Zuo Xiang, for your guidance today!"
"Um!"
Xiao Ping nodded lightly but did not get up.
"Brother-in-law, I'll take my leave first. Say goodbye to my sister for me!" Fu Yanjie also said.
"Um!"
Xiao Ping still nodded calmly.
soon!
The members of the three major families left, and the living room suddenly fell silent again.
Xiao Ping stood up, walked to the door, and quietly watched the retreating figures of the three major families, his eyes shining brightly, and he murmured in a low voice: "Even the border of southern Hunan can get the news so quickly, it seems that this Xia Wangcheng , it’s almost been penetrated!”
"This matter must be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible..."
