Unreasonable making trouble

"Brother Han, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

When Dong Zixiu returned home, he took his son and went straight to the main hall. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and raised his hand to Han Jingcong, who was sitting in the hall with a dark face.

He was very clear about Han Jingcong's purpose.

Gao Yanming was dismissed from office, and now the position of left prime minister has fallen to his Dong family. The Han family will definitely come to ask for an explanation.

"Brother Dong, you Dong family are not kind."

Han Jingcong was in no mood to chat with Dong Zixiu.

Ever since he learned that Gao Yanming had been dismissed from office, he wanted to come over. However, he sent a servant over earlier and the answer he got was that Dong Zixiu was away on business and was not at home.

No, just now the servants in his house reported that they saw Dong Zixiu's carriage coming back.

He immediately came to Dong Zixiu without stopping to ask for an explanation.

As a result, when I entered the house, I found out that Dong Zixiu had transferred to Dong Qingyang's house on the way.

This made him, who was already dissatisfied, even more dissatisfied.

Is it so worth being happy about?

When you come home from outside, you don’t go home first and just go straight over to celebrate?

Because of such dissatisfaction, there was a hint of thorn in his tone at this time.

"Brother Han, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"not understand?"

"Young Master Dong Zixiu is pretending to be confused in front of me. Your Dong family must give an explanation to my Han family about this matter today, otherwise this matter will never end."

Hearing this, Dong Zixiu, who was still smiling, immediately turned pale.

"Explain? I wonder what my Dong family has done that I need to explain to the Han family?"

Seeing that the other party was still pretending, Han Jingcong stopped beating around the bush and directly asked him about the fact that the post of left prime minister fell to his Dong family.

His tone was very dissatisfied, and he even secretly said that it was the Dong family who had done something shameful that caused Dong Qingyang to be suddenly appointed as the left prime minister.

You must know that during the early dynasty, although Gao Yanming was dismissed, Dong Qingyang temporarily took over the affairs of the left prime minister.

That's just a temporary replacement, what's the result?

Within an hour or two, this temporary replacement was implemented.

There was something fishy about this, and Han Jingcong naturally thought that the Dong family had reached some kind of deal with His Majesty.

Otherwise, the Dong family used some means to steal this position.

"I see."

Dong Zixiu nodded, walked to the main seat, sat down, took a sip of tea, and then slowly asked, "Brother Han is really unreasonable."

"What you mean by this is that the position of left prime minister can only be surnamed Gao or Han, right?"

"Huh, if you say I'm unreasonable, then it's your Dong family who broke the rules first."

Han Jingcong snorted coldly.

Today, 89% of the officials in the Dongzhou Court are related to aristocratic families.

Because most of them are their own people, in order to prevent fights, the leaders of the major aristocratic families have made an agreement that no officials related to the aristocratic families can attack each other in the court.

There is also some tacit understanding among the aristocratic families regarding some of the imperial duties.

Both sides will discuss in private who should go up and who should step back.

Anyway, it's just some important positions that the major families take turns to occupy.

Of course, there are many conflicts of interest involved.

Over the years, the Han family has invested countless manpower and material resources into Gao Yanming.

It was not easy to support Gao Yanming to the position of left prime minister, and he just started to enjoy the benefits that Gao Yanming brought to their family.

They thought that after a few more years of development, they would find a way to suppress the Dong family and become the number one family.

It's fine now.

Gao Yanming was suddenly dismissed from his post, and many years of hard work were lost.

However, although Han Jingcong was furious when he first received the news, there was nothing he could do about it. The matter in Jinyang was really too troublesome.

Since Gao Yanming was already like this, there was no point in worrying about it, so he repaired a letter and sent it back to his family.

I thought about asking the patriarch to come forward and talk to the major families, and pay a little more if necessary, so as to return the position of left prime minister to the Han family again.

However, not long after his letter was sent, the imperial decree came down.

Dong Qingyang took over the post of left prime minister.

Han Jingcong was shocked and angry. They were able to develop so quickly because Gao Yanming was in the position of left prime minister.

He wanted to suppress the Dong family, but now it's better. Gao Yanming lost his left prime minister, and someone from the Dong family actually came to power.

Damn it, doesn't it mean that the Han family is going to be crushed again, and I don't know how many years it will take to turn over.

"I wonder when exactly the Dong family broke the rules?"

"I have also heard about what happened in the court today. Gao Yanming lost his position as left prime minister. It is his own fault."

"Qingyang, go up. That's His Majesty's wish. The imperial edict has been issued. Do you, the Han family, dare to disobey it?"

This Han Jingcong is really unreasonable.

When he heard that Dong Qingyang came to power, he was both happy and worried. The position of left prime minister was the pinnacle of civil servants.

There has not been a talent with such a high status in the Dong family for many years.

He knew very well how much benefit a left prime minister could bring to the family.

But he was also worried that the Han family would not give up.

I originally thought that I would meet Dong Qingyang, the two brothers would make a plan together, and then talk to the family to see if they could give up a position to the Han family, which would be an explanation for this accidental incident.

However, now that he saw Han Jingcong's attitude, he immediately gave up the idea.

The people of the Han family have become more and more arrogant in recent years.

Originally, it was okay for you to be arrogant with the help of a left prime minister, but now the position of left prime minister has been lost.

He didn't hold his tail between his legs and was an honest man, but he actually came to question him.

"Also, the position of left prime minister has never belonged to your Han family, nor to my Dong family, nor to any aristocratic family."

"That has to be decided by His Majesty. He issued the order to remove him from office, and he also issued the imperial edict for Qingyang to be promoted."

"You are so dissatisfied, why don't you go and question His Majesty?"

"Why are you coming here to vent your anger? What qualifications do you have to come and question me?"

Han Jingcong was so angry at his words.

Bang!

I saw him grabbing the tea cup next to him and slamming it on the ground.

"Dong Zixiu, is it possible that your Dong family wants to start a war?"

"War?"

Dong Zixiu smiled coldly and said disdainfully, "Can you represent the Han family?"

"Even if you can, do your Han family dare to start a war?"

Even though Han Jingcong is the head of the Han family in Beijing, in the final analysis he is just an outside manager.

He can make decisions on some things, but he is not able to decide on things like starting a war.

Besides, does the Han family dare to attack the Dong family now?

"you"

Han Jingcong was extremely angry. Seeing this, Dong Zixiu softened his tone.

"Brother Han, you don't have to be so angry. In the final analysis, what happened this time was because Gao Yanming was not upright and made a mistake."

"The position of left prime minister was not removed from my Dong family by him, nor was it taken from me by my Dong family."

"I can understand that you are angry, but coming to question me is really unreasonable."

"Our aristocratic family has known each other for many years. Has our Dong family ever crossed paths with each other in these years? You know the specific situation this time very well."
