Chapter 331: Undercurrent
After Qin Batian returned strongly, he immediately abolished the position of Qin Yuanxiong's acting patron, and then handed over the position of acting patriarch to Qin Yuanzhi.
As for Qin Yuanxiong, he was punished to take charge of some small affairs of the family, which was tantamount to losing his power.
Some of the elders of the Qin family have also changed their positions. Some elders of the same generation as Qin Yuanxiong are directly deprived of their elder positions and are no longer involved in any family affairs. They only need to grow grass and flowers every day.
In this regard, many Qin parents and elders were trembling and afraid to speak.
If it were Qin Batian in the past, these elders might still fight for it.
But now that Qin Yuanxiong is a half-step Wuzong, who would dare to talk nonsense?
Moreover, thinking back to Qin Yuechi's horror, thinking that he was himself at the beginning and agreed to expel Qin Yuechi, these elders were even more frightened for fear of revenge.
The only one who was not satisfied was Zhao Feng.
When she heard the news, a shrew usually rushed up, but was knocked to the ground by Qin Batian's anger. Zhao Feng was so angry that she threatened to return to her family.
Qin Batian said directly: "If you go back, don't come back."
While making Zhao Feng dumbfounded, he cried miserably, saying that the Qin family only recognizes Qin Chen and does not regard his son Qin Feng as Qin's family.
Everyone who saw it was agitated.
But his words made Qin Batian even more angry. If it weren't for Zhao Feng to make trouble, how could his grandson Qin Feng end up like this?
She was immediately furious and ordered her to be dragged out, not allowing her to go out.
After learning about this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly talked about love, but was rejected by Qin Batian lukewarm, and even more coldly said: "My old family, you should worry about yourself. This time you come to the capital Make trouble, deal with my grandson, Zhao Gao may not decide how to deal with you, and he has to take care of my affairs here, forgive me not to stay."
Then everyone in the Zhao family was driven out of the Qin Mansion by the Qin family's disciples.
The Zhao family in Lingnan was also the top wealthy in the capital city anyway, with a high status and extraordinary status, but being so swept out by the Qin family, his heart became angry.
However, they didn't dare to deal with the Qin family in the past, and now they know that Qin Batian is a half-step Wuzong strong, how dare to go wild? Had to suffocate and leave.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
And the same undercurrent surging is the Imperial Palace of the Great Qi State.
Compared to the Qin Family's bold and resolute actions, Zhao Gao was sitting on the throne at this time, with a depressed expression and regretful intestines.
Qin Chen had such a talent, Qin Yuechi's cultivation base was so high, and Qin Batian actually broke through to half a step Wuzong.
Every time he thinks of this, Zhao Gao feels depressed and about to vomit blood.
Knowing that things would be like this, killing him, it is impossible to give up Qin Chen.
Now the Qin family is dissatisfied with themselves, and even made Zhao Gao panic in his heart.
Yes, just panic.
For so many years, the reason why Zhao Gao suppressed the Qin family was because Qin Batian's feats were too prominent.
And now, with Qin Yuechi's cultivation base so high, Qin Batian also broke through half of the Wuzong, and possessed a heavy weapon.
Under the combination of the two, even if it is to subvert the power of his Great Qi State, it is not impossible.
"What to do? What else can I do now?"
Zhao Gaopo was a little flustered, his face gloomy.
"Your Majesty, I actually persuaded you long ago."
Xiao Zhan sighed aside.
To be honest, when Zhao Gao was about to give up Qin Chen, his heart was extremely disappointed.
"Are you blaming me?"
Turning his head, Zhao Gao looked fierce and furious.
"His Majesty?"
Xiao Zhan was taken aback, but he didn't expect that Zhao Gao would speak to himself like this.
Zhao Gao also realized his attitude and couldn't help sighing: "Xiao Zhan, don't blame me, I am really, a little upset, if it's the Qin family... hey."
After half a day, Zhao Gao still didn't say the word'rebellion'.
"In fact, Your Majesty, there is absolutely no need to worry so much." Xiao Zhan shook his head.
Zhao Gao frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, if the Qin family is going to rebel, shouldn't it still wait until today?" Xiao Zhan sighed and directly picked up the subject.
Seeing Zhao Gao’s puzzled expression, Xiao Zhan said: "Dingwu King Qin Batian, controlling the three armies has long been a matter of a day or two. It has been more than ten years, but if you look at his actions over the years, it is not only guarding. The border never returns to the royal capital, so as not to arouse your suspicion. At the same time, the Qin family’s children will return to the royal capital, be dismissed from important positions in the army, serve as civil servants, and even be disarmed and returned to the fields. This has already shown his intentions."
"Who knows, did he pretend to me on purpose." Zhao Gao worried.
"Your Majesty feels that it is necessary for Qin Batian to do this? If the Qin family wanted to rebel, it would have started a few years ago, how can it wait until now."
Seeing Zhao Gao like this, Xiao Zhan was a little speechless, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, Qin Yuechi's cultivation level cannot be achieved overnight. According to subordinates' estimates, she was at least ten years ago. With the strength not weaker than that of a minister, if the Qin family really wants to do it, then it will definitely do it."
"Your Majesty, think about it. Ten years ago, your Majesty, not long after you ascended the throne, had control over the central government, and it was definitely not stable. At that time, several princes were still young and could not control the overall situation. In the past, the Great Wei State repeatedly violated our borders, which led to repeated wars on the border."
"If the Qin family wants to rebel, the Qin family only needs to allow Qin Yuechi to sneak into the palace, and attack your majesty. When the time comes, your majesty will be blamed for the Great State of Wei. By then, your majesty will fall, and the princes will not be able to control the overall situation. The ultimate task of saving the country will be It will still fall into the hands of Qin Batian, who controls the three armies. When the Qin family reigns first and then pro-government, no one can stop it."
"But the Qin family didn't do this. Instead, after your majesty became the throne, you repeatedly gave power. In the entire Qin family, except for Qin Batian who also controlled the three armies, the other clansmen, also Qin Yuanxiong, sought positions in the court. People have all become common people. These things happened only after your majesty became the throne. Qin Batian will show you his thoughts again."
"All these years have passed. I have a great country, the weather is smooth, the people's aspirations, your majesty has great prestige in the army and in the hearts of the people, not to mention that several princes have also been successful, how can the Qin family rebel? Your Majesty What do you think?"
Xiao Zhan looked at Zhao Gao and sighed inwardly.
He was a fan of the authorities, and he could never see the situation clearly, otherwise, with Zhao Gao's ingenuity, it would be impossible to see it.
Hearing this, Zhao Gao fell into deep thought, and gradually his eyes cleared up.
Being able to serve as the lord of a country, Zhao Gao is naturally not a mediocre person. After thinking about it carefully, he naturally understood that what Xiao Zhan said was indeed very reasonable.
If the Qin family really wants to rebel, they don't need to cut off their hands and feet like this in these years and show it to themselves.
On the contrary, it was himself, who had always been afraid of Qin Batian's military power, and fell into the horns, drilling tighter and tighter.
