Chapter 285 Courtesy Calls For Reciprocity

Great Xia had sent troops towards Chen Country. In the eyes of the great figures in Chang'an, there were some doubts that were worth discussing. At the same time, there were also many encounters.

For ordinary people, they only knew that Great Xia and Chen Country would be at war, and Great Zhou would be able to live peacefully for a period of time.

This should certainly be considered good news.

The long winter had finally passed. It wasn't until now that the sky was still dimming, and the sun in the eastern horizon revealed a bit of a pale belly.

The streets of Chang'an were already bustling with activity. The craftsmen who got up early to work, the drunken drinkers, and the vendors who were preparing to welcome the guests all took to the streets at the junction of night and day and started to get busy for the new day.

In a bad year, if ordinary people wanted to earn a livelihood, they would have to put in more effort.

The same seems to be true of some of the most powerful people in the world.

For example, in front of the palace gate of the Pu Tian Palace, before the guards on duty could change shifts, several figures knelt in front of the palace gate.

Most of them were over forty years old, wearing long black robes and embroidered dragon pythons. They were obviously quite influential figures. As early as Morrow, these people knelt in front of Pu Tian Palace. It was unknown what they had done, but the commoners quickly recognized a few familiar figures from these people.

For example, Feng Chang and Shao Fu, one of the Nine Qing Dynasties, were amazingly on the list. There were also such important officials in the capital as the governor of the capital and the governor of Jinwu. Although these people held different official positions and had different powers, they all had one common characteristic: their surnames were Yuwen.

Squeak.

Along with a heavy and long voice, the gate of Pu Tian Palace was finally pushed open. At that time, the crowd kneeling in front of the manor finally entered.

Not far from the pavilion, a skinny old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the situation. He turned around and asked, "Your Highness, do you understand?"

The fat man behind him, who weighed more than 200 jin, was wrapped in a bloated robe. He said with a heavy brow, "Lord Prime Minister, don't worry. This king has thought it through very clearly this time."

As the fat prince spoke, he walked to the window of the pavilion and looked at the crowd that had poured into the Pu Tian Palace. He said again, "Zhu Xian has sent countless servants to wander in front of this king's mansion in the past half month. Even though I have repeatedly shown that I do not intend to fight for the throne, he is still unwilling to let this king off."

"Then let's kill each other!"

When the skinny old man heard this, he turned to look at the fat man with a resolute expression. He originally wanted to say something, but suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

…

"Is Yuwen Yang crazy?"

In the Zhu Manor, Zhao Xing and Gu Sijin, who were one of the Nine Celestials, were kneeling at the door, trembling.

However, Zhu Xian pushed away the tea set in front of him, and those precious porcelain fell to the ground at that time, shattering all the tiles.

He shouted loudly. The veins on his forehead burst out, clearly furious to the extreme.

"First Lord, this morning, the royal clans led by Feng Chang and Young Master entered the palace to impeach our Gu and Zhao families. This is obviously instigated by someone behind the scenes. I heard that King Yu went to the Tian Ce Mansion to meet with Xu Han for a long time before this."

"Yes, Lord Zhu. Those clans have quite a few things on their hands. If it's true…"

Zhao Xingzheng and Gu Sijin hurriedly said in an anxious tone.

"Don't worry, both of you have followed me for many years. I won't let you die. You guys go back first. I will arrange someone to help you solve this matter." Zhu Xian said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Gu Zhao and the others hesitated. After all, it was a matter of life and death for the two races. Zhu Xian's attitude made them a little disappointed. However, after Zhu Xian finished speaking, they lost the mood to continue their conversation. The two of them looked at each other. Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to retreat at that time.

When the two of them retreated, two figures suddenly walked into the back door of the room.

One was a Confucian scholar dressed in black, the other was a beautiful woman dressed in a long azure dress.

"What do you think we should do with this matter?"

When the black-clothed scholar heard this, he frowned and said, "The Yuwen Imperial Clan's defection must have been caused by His Highness Prince Yu. Although Yuwen Yang seems to have no intention of carrying out any political affairs these past few years, the scattered Yuwen Imperial Clan has gradually condensed under his gathering. However, what I cannot understand is that Yuwen Yang is always smart and good at judging the situation." Why did he choose to be his enemy at this moment? Could it be that the Crown Prince's position really dazzled you? "

The green-clothed woman did not comment on this. He coldly snorted and said, "Humph, people have evil intentions. How many people can really control the supreme power in front of them?"

"I don't care where Yuwen Yang got the courage. Since I let him live, he's unwilling to go. Then don't hang up on me. You two go and count the imperial clans that entered the palace. Each one of them will be recorded on the record. If you have anything to say, let Gongsun Ming lead the troops and send him to prison." After Zhu Xian finished speaking, his eyes turned cold, "Hmph, there is one aristocratic clan in Chang'an City. Even your Yuwen Imperial Clan, none of them are clean!"

The two of them exchanged a glance. They could tell from the man's tone that he was determined. They immediately stopped talking and cupped their hands to retreat.

…

"Are you telling the truth? Did those officials really go to the palace to impeach the Gu and Zhao families?" In the Tian Ce Mansion, Fang Ziyu looked at Chu Chouli with an incredulous expression.

"Is that fake? Didn't you see dozens of people kneeling at the entrance of the Pu Tian Palace, waiting for them? All of them were great figures above the third rank." Chu Chouli said emotionally. It seemed that it was an honor for him to be able to witness such a scene.

"So, the person surnamed Xu chatted well with that prince yesterday." Fang Ziyu narrowed his eyes and patted Xu Han's shoulder.

However, Xu Han only smiled faintly and did not make a sound.

"I heard that the adults who impeached Gu and Zhao families this time brought along conclusive evidence to clearly record what the Gu Clan and Zhao Clan have done over the years. I estimate that these two clans are completely finished." Chu Chouli curled his lips as he spoke and sat down beside Xu Han with a gloating expression on his face.

"Hmph, you deserve it." Hearing this, Eldest Miss Fang snorted coldly, "But you said that Zhu Xian really is. He clearly has something on him, but he still insists on harming him. Isn't this forcing him to get rid of him?"

"You said that Zhu Xian is so stupid, how did he get to where he is today?" As Fang Ziyu spoke, he turned to look at Xu Han, who was standing beside him, puzzled.

"Who doesn't have a stupid move? Even I, Chu, have been running around the casino for so many years. Sometimes, I will overturn a ship in the sewer. It's not strange, it's not strange." However, before Xu Han could respond, Chu Chouli accepted the conversation with a face full of righteousness.

However, Fang Ziyu was naturally not convinced by his words. The girl rolled her eyes at him, and then her gaze fell on Xu Han.

Xu Han was about to speak.

However, at this moment, Ye Hongjian walked over from nowhere. She turned a blind eye to everyone. He went straight to Xu Han and asked, "Do you still want to send someone outside Prince Yu's Mansion today?"

When these words were spoken, the surrounding people were stunned for a moment, and then they all revealed astonished expressions as they looked at Xu Han with astonished gazes.

However, Xu Han only smiled faintly. He picked up the teacup in front of him and gently sipped it.

"Lord Yu wang did what he said," he said. "He has done me such a big favor."

"We naturally have to reciprocate his'big trouble 'and help His Highness Prince Yu block it."

"Go, tell those government troops that they don't have to go outside Prince Yu's Mansion from today onwards to disturb Lord Yu."
