Chapter 79: Different Perspectives
"Yuxiang, don't I hate this villain Zhao Yugang?
It was Zhao Yugang's betrayal that led to the annihilation of my entire Xuzhou Marquisate. My gifted elder brother was killed by Zhao Yugang himself, and my father was forced to the capital by Zhao Yugang, where he was beheaded after suffering humiliation...

But, although Zhao Yuguang deserves to die, Zhu Xingyu, the man behind the scenes, deserves to die even more!

We can’t just focus on Zhao Yugang, we need to drag Zhu Xingyu in as well and make them pay with their blood…”

The eyes of the woman in black silk were full of hatred and madness, but her words seemed rational.

"Okay~
Sister Qinyu!
I have listened to you all these years.

This time, I will listen to you too!"

The woman in white cloth finally chose to compromise and listened to the advice of the woman in black silk.

Since the fall of the Xuzhou Marquis Mansion, the two have agreed to seek revenge and have depended on each other. The woman in white cloth has always followed the opinions of the woman in black silk.

"Qin Yu, little sister! What you are doing now is too dangerous!
The dead are gone, why not live in a different way? "

Listening to the conversation between Zhu Qinyu, the woman in black silk, and Huang Yuxiang, the woman in white cloth, Huang Jun, who was rescued by the two, spoke for the first time and tried to persuade them.

Huang Jun didn't want his once beloved "white moonlight" and his biological sister to fall into hatred and be unable to extricate themselves.

Huang Jun hopes that they can let go of their hatred and live a good life in the rest of their lives!

If possible, Huang Jun hopes to take care of them for the rest of their lives.

Huang Jun's sudden remarks startled Zhu Qinyu and Huang Yuxiang, and then they all turned to look at him.

"Brother, it's because you and father both cherish our lives and are selfish that Pinglang was allowed to die alone in battle!"

Huang Yuxiang's expression was very complicated, with reluctance, hatred, and nostalgia...

"Sister, father is also doing this for the inheritance of the Huang family, for us..."

In the past, Huang Jun didn’t understand why his father chose to betray the Marquis of Xuzhou!
His good brother, elder brother, and the object of his sister Huang Yuxiang's affection, Xuzhou Hou Shizi Zhu Chengping, fought alone and was finally defeated and died.

So when he was young, Huang Jun hated his father Huang Bo very much and went against Huang Bo in everything. Huang Bo wanted him to study hard and have a bright future!
He is determined to continue being a playboy to the end!

But as he grew older and gained more experience, Huang Jun gradually understood what responsibility is!

Realizing that he had gained power, the ultimate beneficiary was not his elderly father, but himself.

After understanding the situation back then, he realized that no matter whether his father Huang Bo stabbed Xuzhou Hou in the back or not, Xuzhou Hou's failure was already inevitable.

It’s just a matter of time!

Father Huang Bo's choice was just a choice to protect himself when the overall situation had already been decided.

Therefore, Huang Jun would unconsciously defend his father Huang Bo in front of Zhu Qinyu and Huang Yuxiang even though he knew that Zhu Qinyu and Huang Yuxiang were still brooding over what happened back then.

However, Huang Jun's defense was ineffective in front of Zhu Qinyu and Huang Yuxiang, whose hatred had been fermenting for more than 30 years.

On the contrary, Huang Jun’s remarks made them even more angry!
"Brother, stop talking!

We saved you once, and we've already repaid you for helping us attract Zhao Yuguang's attention!

From now on, you go your way, and we go our way!"

The angry Huang Yuxiang suppressed her anger and spoke calmly, deciding that she and Huang Jun would go their separate ways and not interfere with each other.

Out of sight!

"Little sister~"

Hearing Huang Yuxiang's words, Huang Jun was stunned and called Huang Yuxiang excitedly.

He risked the death of his entire family and took the blame for the assassination of Marquis Fu'an for Huang Yuxiang and Zhu Qinyu, not in exchange for Huang Yuxiang's words "Let's go our separate ways and don't interfere with each other".

What he wanted was for Huang Yuxiang, his younger sister, to eliminate the alienation between him and him!

What he wants is Zhu Qinyu, the young "white moonlight", to renew his old relationship with him!
However, Huang Jun's call of "little sister~" made Huang Yuxiang unable to suppress her anger any longer.

"Huang Jun, stop calling me little sister!

I have nothing to do with you and the Huang family anymore!

From the moment Huang Bo decided to betray the old marquis...

I am no longer Huang Bo’s daughter!
Naturally, she is no longer your sister!

Because of his father’s selfishness, Pinglang died on the battlefield!
Your selfishness caused my and sister Qinyu's attempt to assassinate Marquis Fu'an to fail!
If it weren’t for his father’s betrayal, Pinglang wouldn’t have died, and the old marquis wouldn’t necessarily have been defeated!

If you hadn't stopped us, Sister Qinyu and I would have killed Marquis Fu'an long ago. Once Marquis Fu'an dies, Zhao Yugang will no longer have a prince with Zhao's bloodline to support, and the Zhao and Zhu families will no longer have room for buffering! By then, the Zhao and Zhu families will fight each other sooner or later!

But it was because of you that the plan between me and sister Qinyu failed!
Even though you helped us block Zhao Yuguang's Thousand Mile Soul Locking later, Sister Qin Yu and I have rescued you now!

Enough to offset!

And if it weren’t for you, Sister Qinyu and I would have killed Marquis Fu’an and left safely long ago!
Zhao Yugang’s Thousand Mile Soul Lock may not be able to do anything to us!
We don't owe you anything!
Don’t even think about relying on us!”

Huang Yuxiang shouted at Huang Jun in great anger.

After Huang Yuxiang had vented her anger, she no longer paid any attention to Huang Jun and left.

Zhu Qinyu looked at Huang Jun with complicated eyes, which were filled with attachment and longing, but she finally followed Huang Yuxiang's steps and strode away.

Different road non-phase plan!
Huang Jun has already taken a different path from them!

This is no longer possible in this life!

Let the first love and good times of youth be sealed in our youth!

Everyone has their own perspective!

From the perspective of Huang Bo and Huang Jun, thirty years ago, before Huang Bo's betrayal, the Marquis of Xuzhou had already been defeated.

But from the perspective of Huang Yuxiang and Zhu Qinyu, although Xuzhou Hou was at a disadvantage thirty years ago, if Huang Bo and the Li family and others had not betrayed him, Xuzhou Hou would have had a chance to turn defeat into victory.

The same thing happened a few days ago.

In Huang Jun's eyes, Huang Yuxiang and Zhu Qinyu assassinated Marquis Fu'an. After Marquis Fu'an's death, Huang Yuxiang and Zhu Qinyu would definitely not be able to escape the crazy revenge of the Zhao and Zhu families.

Before the Zhao and Zhu families turn against each other, they will definitely work together to find the murderer who assassinated Zhu Chengwu and grind his bones to ashes!
Moreover, since Zhu Chengwu is dead and there is no threat of usurping the throne, the prince's faction and other people who are interested in the throne will do their best to cooperate and demonstrate their strength and brotherhood in order to win the support of Queen Zhao and the Zhao family!

When there is no one in the Ming Dynasty court to hold it back, the terror of the Ming Dynasty court will be beyond everyone's imagination.

This is the truest feeling in the heart of Huang Jun, who has served in the military and politics for decades.

But this is all Huang Jun’s perspective.

From the perspective of Huang Yuxiang and Zhu Qinyu, it was Huang Jun who destroyed their years of planning and allowed Marquis Fu'an to survive.

Everyone has their own ideas.

Everyone has their own plans.

Ultimately, things move forward amidst the constant tug of war as everyone works hard to achieve what they want in their hearts.

That’s why there is a saying that in many things, 30% depends on people and 70% depends on heaven.

Because people can only control their own thoughts, they cannot control the thoughts of others.

This is what happened during the Xuzhou Hou Rebellion thirty years ago.

This is how Zhu Chengwu was assassinated a few days ago!
Many things will be like this now and in the future!
……

"What do you think of the joint memorial from the Xuzhou government and county government and the memorial submitted by old Marquis Zhao?"

In the Ming Dynasty court, the king and his ministers were constantly struggling over their respective positions and ideas.

Trying to make things go the way they each want.

“Your Majesty, Marquis Fu’an is a warrior, and when warriors compete in martial arts, casualties are inevitable!

If someone gets injured in a fair fight, or even gets killed by mistake! We can understand all of this!
But we cannot ignore this kind of hidden attack, which takes advantage of Marquis Fu'an's injury in the competition to attack him from behind!

Otherwise, where is the dignity of the Ming royal family? Where is the law of the Ming court?
We must find out what is behind it!"

This world is a world of martial arts, and this world has default rules for this special group of warriors.

It is inevitable for warriors to fight, kill, practice and compete.

As long as there is a legitimate reason and a life-and-death agreement is signed, in an open and clean competition, even if the prince is beaten to death, the Ming royal family and the Ming court will not say anything openly.

Otherwise, you would be standing against most warriors.

Even the Ming royal family could not afford this consequence.

Of course, will something be done secretly?
That’s for sure!

Otherwise, Zhu Chengwu would not have survived so many competitions and survived until now.

All of this is done with tacit understanding and standards.

However, now that Zhu Chengwu was assassinated after being injured in a martial arts competition, this exceeded the limit of tacit understanding and was a bit of a slap in the face of the Ming royal family and the Ming court.

Therefore, as the leader of the rites and laws faction, Cabinet Lord You was the first big shot to stand up and once again express that the assassination of Marquis Fu'an must be investigated.

"The assassination of Marquis Fu'an should indeed be investigated! But the person who should be sent to investigate should be carefully considered!

Select another person or send more people!
After all, although Huang Jun has admitted that he was the one who assassinated Marquis Fu'an, whether it was Zuo Zong's men behind the scenes or someone else was deliberately creating confusion and making the thief cry "stop thief" remains to be discussed!
Minister Jiang’s ability is beyond doubt, but facing Lord Zhao, I’m afraid…”

The person who spoke was Fang Xuedao, the Minister of Revenue, one of the six ministries.

Fang Xuedao is the current head of the Shanxi family. He is the nephew of the Crown Prince's biological mother and the eldest brother of the Crown Princess.

He is undoubtedly a princeling.

In fact, a few days ago, after receiving the joint memorial from the Xuzhou Prefecture Government and the Xuzhou County Government sent by the descendants of the Zhao family, the court had already discussed the assassination of Marquis Fu'an and reached a preliminary conclusion.

That's Cha!

Thorough investigation!

In a normal competition, because of the peculiarities of this world, it is barely acceptable for the prince to be injured or killed.

However, now someone actually dared to assassinate the current marquis in broad daylight at the gate of the city.

This nature is too bad!

Even if Fang Xuedao is a member of the prince's party, he wishes that Marquis Fu'an would die right now!
There is only one attitude towards this matter, and that is to support a thorough investigation!

Otherwise you do the first day and I do the fifteenth.

The younger generation doesn’t even dare to leave their homes.

If they continue to exchange pieces like this, both sides will suffer losses and decline together.

Although there had been discussions and preliminary results before, the assassination of Marquis Fu'an is now becoming more and more serious!

Even Zuo Zongren Zhu Zhiying was involved!

Lord Zhao's purpose became increasingly clear.

Fang Xuedao felt that the candidate initially discussed for the thorough investigation might not be suitable.

It is difficult for Jiang Jinzhong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, to suppress the old Marquis Zhao, get to the bottom of the matter, and clear the prince's name.

"What Minister Fang said makes sense! I am old now, and if I were to go to Xuzhou City to investigate this matter, I am afraid I would not be able to do so.

This old minister agrees with Minister Fang's opinion!"

Fang Xuedao's advice was exactly what Jiang Jinzhong, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, wanted.

Xuzhou Prefecture is far away from the capital, and he, with his old limbs, doesn't want to go through the hassle.

Plus, the prince is involved...

It was only because he belonged to the etiquette and law faction of Lord You, and was finally appointed by King Ming himself, that he had to initially accept this task.

Now, with the continuous news and memorials coming from Xuzhou Prefecture.

How could Jiang Jinzhong not see it, no matter what the truth was behind the assassination of Marquis Fu'an!
At this moment, Xuzhou Prefecture has become the front line of the confrontation between the Zhao family and the prince's faction.

Jiang Jinzhong didn't want to be drawn into this vortex at this time.

Jiang Jinzhong just wants to live a peaceful and stable life until he retires and returns home.

"Since Fang Qing and Jiang Qing mean this, do you have any other suitable candidates to recommend?"

If Fang Xuedao and Jiang Jinzhong can see it clearly, how can Ming Wang not see it?
Xuzhou Prefecture is now a whirlpool.

Jiang Jinzhong couldn't suppress Zhao Yuguang either.

But at the beginning, King Ming did not expect that Zhao Yugang would make such a big fuss about the assassination of Marquis Fu'an.

Therefore, Jiang Jinzhong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, who had rich experience in investigating cases and was a senior official of the law and etiquette school, was selected.

I hope he can go to Xuzhou Prefecture and investigate the matter impartially.

Now it seems that Jiang Jinzhong is no longer suitable!
King Ming underestimated Zhao Yuguang's determination to cause trouble this time, and also underestimated the current complicated situation in Xuzhou Prefecture.

Jiang Jinzhong, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, did not hold a high enough position or be strong enough to control the situation.

Need to change someone!
However, this kind of reluctant style is inconsistent with Zhao Yuguang's past style of doing things!
While King Ming was asking Fang Xuedao and Jiang Jinzhong whether there were any suitable candidates, he was also trying to think about the reasons and purposes behind Zhao Yuguang's efforts.

This father-in-law and son-in-law, who are of similar age, have had secret confrontations in the court more than once or twice.

They are familiar with each other and are very wary of each other.

"I think that Xibei Hou is a man of integrity and experience, and he is the best choice!"

Fang Xuedao bowed and named the candidate he had already thought of in his mind.

"Your Majesty, no! The Marquis of the Northwest is the pillar of the country, shouldering the important task of guarding the Mingyuan border. How can we move lightly!"

Upon hearing Fang Xuedao's advice, the current head of the Zhao family, Queen Zhao's brother, and Minister of War Zhao Jinyu immediately stepped forward and refuted.

Northwest Marquis Chang Qingshan is the current patriarch and pillar of the Northwest Chang family, and has the strength of a master!
The Chang family in the northwest and the Zhao family in the capital both have their roots in the Ming military, and the two families have always been in conflict.

In recent years, with the Crown Prince's sister, Princess Changning, marrying into the Northwest Chang family, the Northwest Chang family has been moving closer to the Crown Prince.

If Northwest Marquis Chang Qingshan were allowed to investigate the assassination of Fu'an Marquis, the prince would definitely become "innocent".

Zhao finally managed to bring the prince in, but this was something Zhao would not allow.

"Mr. Zhao has a different opinion? I wonder if Mr. Zhao has anyone to recommend!"

King Ming turned his gaze to Zhao Jinyu and asked meaningfully.

"Duke Zhao has a high reputation among Zhu's clan members, and Earl Jing'an is young and strong. They are both good candidates!"

Zhao Jinyu told the candidate he had in mind.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!

Duke Zhao and Earl Jing'an had a close personal relationship with the Zhao family.

If they were sent to Xuzhou Prefecture to investigate!
It's called an investigation, but it may turn out to be a frame-up! "

Seeing that Ming Wang was in deep thought and seemed to agree with Zhao Jinyu's suggestion, Fang Xuedao could not help it and immediately stepped out to object.
