Chapter 769(2/2)
"Um!"
"Hey!" Zhou Hu sighed: "The emperor will be furious, and Zitai is quite unkind to powerful people in northern Xinjiang. Things are not going well!"
"Are you worried that Mr. Zhou will be implicated?"
"Aren't you worried about Aye and Big Brother?" Zhou Hu smiled and said, "I don't care about anything anyway!"
"You are the most slick and ruthless in your actions. You can't be the only one responsible for this, right? Who else?"
"There are also some... old people."
"What about them?"
Seeing his father's unkind expression, Zhou Hu said with a smile: "Go and block brother."
…
In the front yard, Zhou Zun, who had just left the Yamen, hurriedly wanted to find his old father to discuss the Northern Xinjiang incident.
But as soon as he entered the house, he was stopped by a group of clan elders.
The leaders, Zhou Ting and Zhou Zhu, are the elders of the Zhou family and have the same seniority as Zhou Qin.
Zhou Ting is Zhou Qin's cousin. He once blocked a knife for his father and is known as the most brave person in the Zhou family. As time goes by, the bravery back then has long disappeared and turned into conservative.
Zhou Zhu was quite good at studying at that time, but for the Zhou family, he gave up his official career and stayed at home to act as a think tank.
This is a sacrifice, so the Zhou family has been very kind to his children and grandchildren over the years, and this is a reward.
"Third uncle, seventh uncle."
Zhou Ting moves three, Zhou Zhu moves seven.
Zhou Ting said breathlessly: "I heard that boy from Northern Xinjiang wants to rebel? Dalang, the Zhou family can survive for many years not by rebellion, but by knowing what's right!"
Zhou Zhu said: "Yes! The eldest brother conspired with Emperor Wu to replace the Yang family. After the incident was revealed, he was forced to hibernate at home. The Zhou family cannot do this again. If it happens again, I am worried that the emperor and the Yang family will make up their minds to deal with the Zhou family. Do it!"
Zhou Qin had just come back, and his mind was filled with the details of the discussion with his father. At this moment, he was so surprised that he was stunned.
Shouldn't it be him who decides on such matters?
The clan elder takes action, behind this...
Zhou Zun said: "I will discuss this matter with Aye."
This is the owner's business.
Zhou Zuo sneered, "Da Lang, these matters are related to the prosperity and survival of my Zhou family, why can't we discuss it?"
"yes!"
The group of clan elders all started making noises.
This group of people was not easy to deal with. Taking advantage of their seniority, they began to besiege Zhou Zun.
"It's not over?"
Someone was shouting and cursing.
"Alang is here."
Zhou Qin came with a cane. When he saw this group of clan elders besieging Zhou Zun, he cursed: "A bunch of old dogs, stop it!"
When the conspiracy between him and Emperor Wu was leaked, external pressure increased greatly, and the Zhou family even prepared to sacrifice him in exchange for the safety of the entire clan.
Later, Zhou Qin used various means to calm down the incident, but from then on, he had almost no contact with the clan elders.
Zhou Zhu turned around and said, "Brother, you are here at the right time. Yang Xuan has caused big trouble, which is tantamount to treason. It is only proper for Zhou to get rid of it quickly."
"Clear what?"
Zhou Qin came over and said, "We are all quite free. Are we here to inquire about news? They all have a tacit understanding. As soon as they heard the news, they gathered together spontaneously. They were all very angry. When they gathered together, they wanted to find trouble."
In three paragraphs, the hypocritical masks of these clan elders were pulled off.
"What benefits did Yang Songcheng promise? In other words, how did Yang Songcheng threaten you and make you wait in fear all day long!"
Zhou Qin sneered.
Zhou Ting said: "I don't need to be taboo about anything. It was said over there that Yang Xuan was tantamount to treason in northern Xinjiang. The emperor was furious, and the world's powerful people were against Yang Xuan. Together, this is a powerful force.
Is this true?"
The clan elders nodded.
"The purpose of these forces gathering together now is very simple, they want to get Yang Xuan. If the Zhou family does not secede with Yang Xuan, brother, the Zhou family will be overthrown!"
"Yes! Yang Xuan is so ambitious that the Zhou family must not stand side by side with him."
"Shut up!"
Zhou Qin drank up the noise and said, "You are quite smart. Why do you feel that a crisis is coming? But have you ever thought about it? Why are the Emperor and the Yang family putting pressure on the Zhou family at this time?"
He pointed outside, "At this moment, Zitai holds the army of Northern Xinjiang. If he is offended and he bares his teeth at Chang'an, who will stop him?"
"The Chang'an army has gathered, and there are countless famous generals!" Zhou Zhu said.
"What a bullshit army, what a bullshit famous general." Zhou Qin said disdainfully: "I have been to Northern Xinjiang and have seen Zitai leading an army to fight.
Compared with him, Chang'an's so-called famous generals were vulnerable.
As for the army, it is even more of a joke. When can watchdogs be called a powerful force?"
"The emperor wanted to touch the Zhou family for a while. To say the least, it was my fault back then.
But you also know that Zhou will either become Yang's dog, or he will have to resist.
I resisted and lost. I gave up and stayed dormant at home for many years.
Now that the emperor and the Yang family are taking action again, am I afraid? No!"
Zhou Qin thought of the emperor and couldn't help but smile scornfully, "The emperor and the Yang family didn't dare to openly attack the Zhou family. What were they afraid of? They were afraid of Zitai! At this time, the Zhou family took the initiative to cut ties with Zitai. It was a butcher's knife with both hands.
Present it, and then wait to be slaughtered by others. Do you understand?"
He looked at these clan elders and said disappointedly: "The Zhou family has been dormant these years. I thought I would allow you to wait and think more about the situation, but now it seems that your waiting is becoming more and more useless."
Zhou Zhu was annoyed, "Brother, the Tang Dynasty is stable. To rebel at this time is to seek death!"
"Who said he wanted to rebel?" Zhou Qin frowned. "Zitai swore that he would live up to the Tang Dynasty in his life. Anyone who said he was plotting rebellion must have ulterior motives."
"But the separation of Northern Xinjiang from Chang'an has become a fact."
"If we don't separate the northern border, we will wait for the emperor to clean it up?" Zhou Qin sneered, "Who is willing to be captured without mercy? Huang Chunhui refused to come out to speak until he saw it, which shows that he is well aware of the evil intentions of the planners behind this matter...mostly because of his intentions
Nongzi calm down and then clean up the northern border!"
"What about me, the Zhou family? Are we going to be tied together and die?"
"Who said the Zhou family will fall?" Zhou Qin's eyes were bright, "Crisis is also an opportunity. Zitai controls Northern Xinjiang, and as long as he does not rebel, he will be the first force in the Tang Dynasty.
Could Zhou take advantage of the opportunity of having such a son-in-law? Ah!
A bunch of idiots, if they don't rush to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the Zhou family, what are they waiting for? Waiting for food?"
Zhou Ting sighed, "Brother, that person just said that starting tomorrow, the outside world will start to suppress Zhou's business.
What did the aristocratic families rely on to dominate the Central Plains for many years? It was not just the land and population, but also business.
Suppress Zhou's business, cut off the source of Zhou's money, and then try to seize Zhou's land.
When the Zhou family is alone, it will collapse as soon as the wind blows without anyone taking action."
"Business?" Zhou Qin looked a little stunned.
"Yes, starting tomorrow."
