Chapter 67 Deep in the quagmire
Looking at Zhu Ying's concern expression on his face, Xiao Zicheng felt warm.
"I know, please rest assured by Your Highness."
Zhu Ying nodded and walked towards the Zhan Shi Mansion on his own.
As Zhu Ying expected, the ministers of the Ministry of War had a gloomy face and returned to the main deployment of the Ministry of War.
When they were in the Chuigong Hall, due to the majesty of His Majesty, these ministers did not dare to act rashly, but this was the territory of their Ministry of War.
These people can't resist, or blame and complain, and even curse:
"What's Xiao Zicheng? A yellow-mouthed child has not grown any hair yet, so he dares to point fingers at our Ministry of War?"
"Who said no? I really don't know what Your Majesty thought, and he was appointed as Shanchengzi..."
"You didn't see it, Lord Deng's face was blushed."
Zhou Chongguang, the Minister of War, was also a little indignant and kept patting the table.
"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!! I'm dedicated to my consideration of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that man dares to insult me like this!!"
Although he knew in his heart that officials from various departments would not spread the story of speaking out in the Chuigong Hall today.
After all, if he was scolded by a child with a yellow mouth, the court officials would press down on this time even if they were in the face of their respective departments.
But Zhou Chongguang, the Minister of War, was still a little worried.
The court was originally inferior to each other's civil and military forces, and his army was caught in it, so it was even more unpleasant to both ends.
Not to mention when he left the hall, he saw the gloating eyes of the war ministers, and it was clearly a plan to watch the show.
If today's incident is spread, not only him, the Minister of War, but also the entire Ministry of War officials, will become a laughing stock.
And all of this is thanks to Xiao Zicheng, the mountain city boy!!
"Sir, please calm down. Don't worry, sir, you guys, you have an idea."
Gu Zhengxin, the Minister of War, came over and whispered:
"My Lord, I understand that in the eyes of the Xiaguan, what happened today is clearly a double act that the Majesty and Xiao Zicheng sang.
The root of this is that Your Majesty is determined to compete with Chen State, and Xiao Zicheng is just telling what His Majesty thinks."
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy deployment of the Ministry of War became quiet instantly.
Zhou Chongguang stroked his beard and nodded with conscientiousness.
"Since you can see clearly, what are the opinions of the Minister of the Secretariat?"
Officials from the Ministry of War asked one after another, and the Minister of War Zhou Chongguang couldn't help but look at Gu Zhengxin.
Seeing this, Gu Zhengxin walked and said:
"Since Your Majesty admires Xiao Zicheng's military training method so much, now that the war is imminent, he will definitely recommend it widely.
Xiao Zicheng must have been to go to the army to guide the training. We just need to let the air out of the military camp and say that His Majesty appointed a playboy to supervise the training.
In the meantime, we don’t need to do anything more. Even if those people in the army don’t swallow Xiao Zicheng alive, they will definitely not obey his orders.”
When the officials heard this, they were stunned and immediately looked at each other and smiled.
"A good idea, after all, our Yamachiko is truly "famous" in Kyoto."
"That's right, let's give him a move, the scholar meets the soldiers!"
"Let's see how he ends when he is!"
The officials nodded and agreed, and immediately turned their attention to Zhou Chongguang, the Minister of War.
Zhou Chongguang thought for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and said righteously:
"We must never let this playboy destroy the country of Great Zhou!!! OK, just follow what Mr. Gu said!"
Xiao Zicheng, who was accepting a nagging father in the car, did not know that a conspiracy against him was brewing.
Xiao Fangzhi's face was flushed, and he liked Xiao Zicheng no matter how he looked at him.
With two ranks in one family, the Xiao family can win such an honor, even if they die in the battlefield in the future, they will still have a good face to meet their ancestors.
"Cheng'er, Your Majesty attaches great importance to you and decrees you as the Viscount of Shancheng. In the future, you must be loyal and do not let down Your Majesty's trust."
Xiao Zicheng nodded his head woodenly, but his eyes kept floating outside the car.
Why didn't you know before that the cheap dad was so good at talking. After saying this over and over again, my master's ears were almost grinding...
Seeing that his son looked absent-minded, Xiao Fangzhi felt a headache. When Xiao Zicheng was naughty, he would definitely scold him directly.
However, the former naughty son has earned great honor for the Xiao family and has a title, so it is not convenient to blame him too much.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fangzhi stopped talking helplessly and began to think in his mind about how to show off in front of those old brothers.
The car finally returned to peace. Xiao Zicheng looked at his father with lingering fear and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Cheng'er."
Before Xiao Zicheng could relax for a moment, Xiao Fangzhi's magic sound came again. He wanted to escape, but what Xiao Fangzhi said below made him dispel this idea.
Xiao Fangzhi seemed to remember something, his smile slowly calmed down and his expression was solemn:
"I almost forgot to tell you that you had already made Wu Tian check something."
Xiao Zicheng's face turned cold when he heard this, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He never forgot how Wangcai died tragically on the road under his feet that night.
If it weren't for the cheap father's arrival in time, he would probably have turned into a pile of rotten meat in the coffin now.
"The mastermind behind the scenes, but the Deng family?" Xiao Zicheng said word by word.
"Oh... Cheng'er asked you for your father, what would you do if you knew who the Lord was behind the scenes?"
Xiao Fangzhi sighed for the first time and asked back.
"Of course it's tooth for tooth! It's blood for blood!"
Xiao Fangzhi obviously had expected his son's reaction, and he only saw him silent for a moment before saying:
"Cheng'er, even if you say something, it will make you feel resentful, but you still have to say it for your father.
This matter is just to the Deng family, and you must not investigate it in depth..."
Looking at the extremely solemn expression on his father's face, Xiao Zicheng felt a stern.
Although it was well concealed, Xiao Zicheng still saw a trace of fear from the cheap father's eyes.
Who is this who can make the cheap father who holds military power so afraid?
The more Xiao Zicheng thought about it, the more shocked he felt. In Kyoto, those who could be more powerful than the Deng family and could make his father so afraid, could count them with one hand.
Excluding those martial arts families with good relationships with their fathers, it is enough to have one hand.
Could it be...
"Father? Could it be..."
He pointed his finger at his head in disbelief, and Xiao Zicheng stared at his father's eyes and said.
Xiao Fangzhi couldn't help but sigh again and stretched out three fingers.
"Is it the third prince?"
