Xiao Manor!
There were many pavilions in the mansion, and many figures were constantly moving, as if they were forming a system.
This was the foundation of the Great Tang's Four Great Clans, and they could operate from within.
The Four Great Clans had businesses and influence all over the Great Tang. They were wealthy and self-sufficient, and their clans had strict clan rules and hierarchy.
Xiao Zhan, as the head of the family, sat on the main seat with an ugly expression. In the court, Xu Feng had not only cut off Xiao Ming's head, but also hung it outside the court to intimidate the court. Xiao Hong had spoken out to impeach him, and in front of all the officials in the Imperial Court, he had beaten Xiao Hong into a pulp with a court staff.
This was a slap to the Xiao family's face!
"Patriarch, you have to stand up for me! Xiao Ming was nurtured by my entire family, but now he was killed by a tyrant like Xu Feng. His head was even chopped off and hung outside the court. This is not only a humiliation to Xiao Ming, but also a humiliation to our Xiao Family. Our Xiao Family is one of the Four Great Families of the Great Tang. We can't let Xu Feng ride on our heads!”
An old man with slightly white hair rushed into the hall. His face was filled with grief and indignation, and his expression was filled with killing intent. If Xiao Zhan hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed into the palace and killed Xu Feng.
Xiao Li, Xiao Ming's father, was also the current Fifth Elder of the Xiao Family. His status in the Xiao Family was very high.
"Humph! In my opinion, the current emperor doesn't care about the court affairs and allows Northern Fortress Lord to do whatever he wants. He's simply incompetent. Our Xiao family can completely raise an army to attack and replace him!”
As the Xiao Family's Grand Elder, Xiao Lang's own strength was even at the Grandmaster Realm.
Thinking back, the Xiao family was the imperial family of the previous dynasty. How prominent was their status?
When had he ever suffered such a vexation?
"That's right, I support the Great Elder's decision! Ever since the founding of the Great Tang, our Xiao Clan has been dormant for more than three thousand years! With the change of dynasties and the signs of the Great Tang's decline, this is an opportunity for our Xiao Family to take action!”
The fourth elder also replied.
Xiao Zhan waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.
He slowly said,"I can understand everyone's feelings. As the head of the Xiao family, how can I not feel the same when my family members are bullied outside?"”
"Don't forget that the current emperor, Lin Xiaoxiang, is the number one genius of the Great Tang for nearly a hundred years. Five years ago, she had stepped into the Grandmaster Realm. No one knows exactly what realm she is at now. If we act rashly, we will only become the first bird to stand out. At that time, our Xiao family will be eaten up until not even dregs are left!”
"Besides, the old Bodhisattva of the royal family's Lin family has been in seclusion for a hundred years. We don't know if his cultivation has improved or if he has still passed away.”
Hearing Xiao Zhan mention the old Bodhisattva of the Lin family, the originally excited mood in the hall instantly quieted down.
A hundred years ago, that person had swept through all the sects in the Great Tang martial arts world. He was extremely powerful.
"Order our clansmen to keep a low profile and not provoke Xu Feng for the time being. I want to see how long the other three families can endure.”
The Four Great Clans of the Great Tang were now in a state of discord, constantly fighting each other. They all wanted to reap the benefits and wait for the other party to take the lead!
……
Xu Feng had arrived at the court early in the morning. He had harvested more than 200,000 Tyrant points during yesterday's morning court session. He was looking forward to seeing if he would reap the same rewards as yesterday.
If the officials in the court knew that Xu Feng treated them like prey and hoped that they would cause trouble in the court, what would they think?
"Lord Yi, you are the Minister of Works, why don't you have a proper official robe?”
The first to go to court was still the Minister of Works, Yin Libo.
Xu Feng asked as he looked at the ragged Yin Libo.
"Reporting to Lord Zhenbei, not to mention the official robes, the Ministry of Works has received a total of 37,645 taels of silver in the past ten years!”
Hearing Xu Feng's question, Yin Libo's eyes lit up.
His goal for today's morning court session was to hope that the imperial court would allocate money to the Ministry of Works to support agricultural research and provide the people with convenient farming tools and better grain seeds.
Hearing this, Xu Feng immediately frowned. Yin Libo was very precise about the amount of money allocated by the Ministry of Revenue. It was obvious how meticulous he was.
"It's been hard on you!"
Xu Feng couldn't help but mutter. No wonder the people of the Great Tang were suffering from famine.
The battle in the royal court became white-hot, and undercurrents surged.
Each of them could not even take care of themselves. Who would care about the lives and deaths of the people?
As Yang Hong, Lin Yirong, and Zhao Zheng stepped into the court, the other officials also entered.
"All the officials have come in an orderly manner. This Lord is very pleased!”
Xu Feng looked at the officials in the court and smiled faintly.
The hearts of the officials froze.
He only hoped that the court would be a little more stable today.
Unfortunately, everyone was afraid that they would not be able to get what they wanted.
"Li Hao, the adopted son of Sikong Xuan, the supervisor of the East Chamber, went to court on behalf of his father!”
A sharp voice rang out from outside the royal court. A thin man with a pale face was seen. It was obvious that he had been hollowed out by wine and sex.
Most importantly, the voice outside the court was a slap to Xu Feng's face. Sikong Xuan had completely ignored the court and Northern Lord!
Many people cursed in their hearts."You, Sikong Xuan, should at least stop. It's the second day after the morning court session, is there a need to be so nervous?”
"Li Hao, the adopted son of the East Chamber's Factory Governor, has come to court on behalf of his father.”
Li Hao stepped into the court with his head held high. He didn't even bow. His eyes were high and he didn't put Xu Feng in his eyes at all.
Everyone could see that yesterday, Zhao Zheng had impeached Sikong Xuan for not attending the court. Today, Sikong Xuan had arranged for a foster son to attend the court in his father's place. His meaning was clear: even you, Xu Feng, are only worthy of attending the court with Sikong Xuan's foster son.
"How dare you, Li Hao! You're just a useless lackey like Sikong Xuan! What right do you have to meet Northern Lord in court?”
Seeing Li Haoyi standing there in anger, Zhao Zheng was instantly enraged. His voice shook, and it actually contained a trace of righteousness, causing people to be slightly shocked.
