Chapter 307 Decision

"Brother, there is indeed some truth in saying this. But there is no reason for him to splash dirty water on himself.

"This is exactly what I can't figure out. I can't understand the opponent's chess is the most terrible!"

"Is it a trap set by the Xia family by retreating?"

"Anyway, it is impossible to let go of this opportunity. The Zheng family has been greedy for a long time. Send a letter to these ministers three days later and go to the front to prepare. I want the Xia family to turn over this time. Wu Yintang sneered. Wu Jing opened his mouth and finally didn't stop it. Maybe he was worried too much.

The same scene is staged in another part of the city, but a few faces have been changed.

Although the January period has not yet arrived, everyone knows that Charlotte's general trend has gone. As long as the twelve serial docks stay close to Taihu Lake, there is no possibility of reversal. After Xia Shuangtian fell ill, the Xia family suffered another crisis.

Mrs Xia has developed a calm demeanor over the years, and now she is sitting upright. Although women and Taoism do not participate in politics, they are related to their son's life and have to be attended. Xia Ruoyan stood next to her mother, looking embarrassed and full of guilt. His eyes were covered with blood, and he obviously couldn't sleep all night. Anyway, I don't believe that Xiao Ran instructed people to do it. Is it a conspiracy to approach yourself from the beginning? Is everything hypocritical? She couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it. She would rather it all be a dream.

From acquaintance to now, I have thought about it carefully. The more I want to forget, the clearer the impression in my mind is.

If you pass by from the beginning, will there be a different ending?

"Uncle, how will the emperor punish the eldest brother for his defeat this time? Will he be sent to prison?" Xia Heng couldn't wait to ask when he saw his second uncle coming. Hearing the word "heavenly prison", Mrs. Xia's body trembled slightly. It's a shame that the heir of the Xia family even had a heavenly prison. Even if you don't die, the future will be ruined.

"My Xia family is the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, even if Luo Er lost the battle." The old man snorted coldly.

"That being said, now is the ** time. No one knows what the emperor thinks. It's better to be cautious." Another middle-aged man. The Xia family is a huge family, with the same ancestor with branches and scattered leaves. In addition to the direct line of Xia Shuangtian, there are six other branches, and this person belongs to a branch.

"From what I said, he shouldn't have taken this job at the beginning and was thankless." A middle-aged woman is humane.

"Clean up your own troubles and don't drag the whole Xia family in." A gorgeously dressed young man said with a greasy face.

"Do you still know that you are the Xia family? If you don't make contributions at the border gate over the years, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking every day. Now that something has happened, it's clean and clean. Don't fall into the well here if you have no idea..." Charlotte sneered.

"Is Xia Zhong not from your family? Didn't that damn Xiao Ran enter the house? Isn't all this caused by yourselves? Let me tell you what's wrong. I still..."

The sudden slap of "pa~" suddenly stunned the young man, and the palm marks could be seen when his face was cleaned.

"Dad, why don't you help me?"

"Waste. Get out, get out!" The man looked angry, and the young man did not dare to resist. He looked fiercely and covered his face and left.

The man turned around and apologized to Mrs. Xia and said, "The rebellious son is ignorant. Don't be angry, sister-in-law. You must discipline her well when you go back."

Xia Ruoyan wanted to defend Xiao Ran, but she didn't say anything after all. That's right. He brought all this by himself. Even if many people don't say it, she can detect the faint hostility. First Dad, then Big Brother, who will be next? Brother Xiao, when can you give me an answer?

"Cough" The old man coughed softly and said, "If it's just defeated, it's nothing. At least the emperor will look at the face of the frosty sky and avoid death. But Zheng and Wu will definitely participate in it. The dismissal of military power is certain. The generals have always been the leader of the Xia family. Now they are afraid that those who can't stand in the court will lose a lot of benefits. Those wall grasses are usually nothing, but it's hard to say now.

"Yes, these two families are not good at stubble. In the past, they got along well with the Wu family because of their marriage. At the beginning, they regretted their marriage and wanted to get back this face.

“...”

Although I know that they are shifting the responsibility to my family, it is not unreasonable. He pointed his head faintly at Xia Ruoyan. Xia Shuangtian has always been doting on this precious daughter. Now he has fallen ill, and some complaints are pouring over. She pointed to Sang and scolded Huai, but she didn't know what to say. Mrs. Xia couldn't help frowning.

"Bum!" The old man slapped his fiercely on the tea table. The scene immediately calmed down.

"It's time to talk about everything, and I'm still thinking about intrigue. Don't be afraid of other people's jokes!"

"Maybe there is another way to save it." The man who had been silent in the corner suddenly said.

"Uncle five, what's the way? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xia Heng was overjoyed.

The man looked at Xia Ruoyan and sighed gently: "You have to agree to this matter."

"It's all burning. If there's anything you don't want, just say it..."

"............Think about it yourself. I hope the second brother won't blame me when he wakes up."

People have different faces, but no one dares to urge them.

"Do you really want to do this? I didn't expect this to be the result. Brother Xiao, let Yaner pay for you all this.

Xia Ruoyan glanced at the look of everyone in the field and suddenly smiled, like a pan flower blooming in the dark night, fresh and refined. No one knew what she was thinking. After a moment, she nodded slowly, closed her beautiful eyes, and a tear slipped quietly.

Imperial City, Jinluan Hall. Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together. There is no hustle and bustle of the past. Most of them talked in a low voice with vigilance. Just a month away from the Xia family's army to fight against the Taihu water bandits, the news received from it is not good for the Xia family. If even Xia Luo is moved down, the situation will be in danger. It is no longer a secret that the three families have an infighting. When to stand in line and which team to stand in is a matter of the future, but several high-ranking ministers did not say a word, and these borderless ministers scolded their mother in a hurry.

"Lord Li, I think the Wu family is still reliable. Once the prime minister, peaches and plums are all over the world, and it can't be wrong. Do you want me to introduce you?

"This...this... is not good."

"Hey, the Xia family is about to collapse, can you still accompany me? There is a saying that good birds choose trees to live in. We have been friends for many years, and we will still hurt you.

Lord Li finally made up his mind and said, "Okay! Thank you, Brother Zhao. I will visit you another day.

There are countless cases of the same situation in the court, and the old Xia family are not in a hurry, but just snorted coldly with an uncut face.

"The emperor is here!" The eunuch shouted at the throat of the male duck. Only then did everyone restrain their way, one by one.

"Welcome to the Holy King, long live."

"The family of Zhuqing is flat." The emperor should have received the news as soon as possible. At this time, there was no joy or anger on the face of the old man's robe, and the minister who wanted to observe his words was greatly disappointed. Everyone was silent, and no one meant to go first. Everyone knows the principle of shooting the first bird.

"Captain Xia, you are old, and I need you not to go to the early morning. Why did you go to court today? The old man in the royal robe said.

"The second brother has never been very ill, and only I have come to court for him." This old man was also a fierce general at the beginning. He has made a lot of contributions to the court and has an unusual status in the court.

"Do you think it's useful to move out of an old guy? It's a joke." Zheng Xuan, the minister of the Ministry of Household, sneered and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"What's the matter?"

Since last month, taxes in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Yuhang have been reduced. There was also the robbery of multiple official banks, with a total value of more than 600,000 silver! In addition, the cost of the Yellow River to help the disaster victims and recruit new soldiers last year, the treasury expenditure is already overstretched. Zheng Xuan did not say it directly, but knocked from the side and sent a signal.

Sure enough, Wu Yintang immediately said, "Yes, Weichen also reported this matter. According to the investigation, it was done by the water pirates in the Taihu Lake Basin!"

"Taihu water bandits? Didn't General Charlotte lead the army to encircle and suppress it?

"It has been a whole month since I returned to the emperor. General Charlotte failed to win and has returned to the court. I dare not see the body of sin and wait outside the hall.

"Tell him to come in."

"Follow the instructions."

"The sinner has seen the emperor." Charlotte knelt in the hall.
