The moment the Imperial Guard Commander Chen Wenyuan spoke up, the expressions of all the officials from the Privy Council changed. They hurriedly peeked at Northern Marquis Su Jin who was standing in front of them.

There had been rumors in private that the Northern Marquis had obtained the Emperor's Seal which had been lost for a hundred years in the Da Xia Empire. Although they had their suspicions, they did not dare to point it out. However, he didn't expect that this stupid kid, Chen Wenyuan, would actually break through the last layer of thin paper.

Seeing the strange atmosphere, the old man in the purple brown suit smiled bitterly, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, continuing: "Although the East Flower Country is small, we also have to consider the feelings from the capital. Recently, Emperor Wen Shao had completely given up on the idea of the late Emperor Wen Shao practicing martial arts, relying on the royal family and the West Chu and the Shang Kingdom to rely on, and despite the opposition of the aristocratic families, he forcefully swept away the 22 counties of Zhongchuan. In recent years, it can be said that he has spent all his wealth in his country. Not only has he paid the tribute to support the royal family's northern expedition, his attentive attitude is like a slave, without any respect for the great powers. It is akin to the appearance of a jackal. "

"The chief envoy is right!"

A discordant voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, breaking the deathly silence. It was just that the voice sounded very gentle, making people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.

Everyone automatically parted and saw in the far corner of the pillar, a young master dressed in snow-white robes was sitting in front of a brazier, warming himself with his hands folded inside his sleeves.

"Among the 'Ten Marquis of Imperial Decent,' the Vermillion Bird of the Grand Xia and the True Martial King both have ill intentions and fearsome abilities. The Black Cloud Steel Cavalry is even more powerful, their military prowess is so great that every marquis of Shandong can only look up to their might. Moreover, the envoy had come with the highest honor, representing the Son of Heaven. Regardless of what the envoy thought, as long as there was any improper treatment, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the mighty Grand Xia's Vermillion Bird, True Martial King, and other marquis! At that time, the hundreds of thousands of marquis would turn their troops and attack Hubei. Even if our Hubei has a hundred thousand Qiushan Iron Cavalry, I'm afraid that we won't even have the slightest chance of winning against the ten great generals of the Eastern Emperor! "

"Who dares to utter such arrogant words!"

"It's Prime Minister Su …"

Those who had shouted out were all silent, and their faces were full of shock. They all turned their heads to look at the quiet young master in the corner.

"Does Marquis Jun remember that the Emperor Xuan Zheng of the Divine Sect of the Da Xia Empire was present for twenty-three years, and Marquis Chu Wuwei was present for two steps. At that time, even the Son of Heaven would have to dismount and welcome him in person. If he, Chu Wuwei, is the hegemon of this world, how would the Marquis compare? "

The white-clothed gongzi raised his eyes and smiled at the silent Northern Marquis Su Jin.

The corner of Su Jin's mouth curved into a faint smile as he looked at the white-robed young man, "I'm not as strong as Marquis Chu Wuwei. Back then, he had an army of one hundred thousand and he dared to single-handedly take over the capital of ten kingdoms' million strong army. He disrespected the Son of Heaven and threatened the Emperor to make trouble for me.

The man in white shook his head. Although Marquis Chu Wuwei had a armor of one hundred thousand and a son of the sky to intimidate the Land of the Nine Prefectures, in the eyes of the prime minister, the Marquis Chu Wuwei was still just a boorish man! Compared to it, Marquis is over a hundred times stronger! "

The smile in Su Jin's eyes became even more pronounced. "Oh, I wish to hear what you have said!"

The white-clothed gongzi laughed lightly, "Even if Marquis Chu Wuwei relied on his military might, he could look down on everyone and ask the officials of the Emperor about the weight of the nine cauldrons in China! But he had actually forgotten that he was originally just a Marquis of China. He had dared to stand in front of Dan Gou and berate the Emperor, even questioning him about the weight of the divine artifact of the Grand Xia Empire. This was the great sin of looking down on the Heaven's Sect, and it also revealed his ambition to become the next king! Unfortunately, he has forgotten as well. Four hundred years ago, the founding emperor of the Da Xia Empire, Xia Zulong, and the eight hundred dukes under the Zhang Tai Alliance had left behind a saying, "Those who are not descendants of the Xia family cannot be proclaimed as kings, and those who do not have outstanding military exploits cannot be conferred as marquis."

"After all, no matter how much the dukes didn't put the royal family in their eyes, they wouldn't dare to go against the ancestral system of the Grand Xia, so I don't care how much the duke of Chu Wuwei despises the emperor, but he actually wants to be the second Northern King, so it's impossible for the dukes and the Son of Heaven to agree to this." Finally, the last of the eight dukes had gathered in Weishui, raising smoke and dust. The history books of the Grand Xia's Qingli Dynasty still have records of this famous' King Weishui '. It's a pity that Marquis Chu Wuwei is a butcher after all, and has been trapped in Weishui Dragon Prison for twelve years. Even though he fought several battles, he still ended up losing his life in the end. "

"Marquis, Marquis." The white-clothed gongzi raised his eyes and continued, "This painful lesson is to warn us. No matter how fierce Lone Wolf is, he won't be able to fight against the tigers!"

Su Jin's heart trembled. Her hands tightened around her armor, "No matter how fierce a lone wolf is, it won't be able to fight against the group of tigers below the mountain."

"Today, the envoy of the Xia Emperor has come to ask for the whereabouts of the Marquis' Seal, which means that he has compared the Marquis to the Marquis in Chu, Chu Wuwei! The Marquis' current prestige had yet to reach that of the Marquis of Chu, Chu Wuwei. Not to mention that even though the Fire De of Grand Xia was declining, the Heavenly Fate had yet to change. The severity of these nine cauldrons is something that one should never ask! "

The young master dressed in white walked in front of Su Jin, looking at her with those confused and fierce eyes, "Furthermore, for now, you, Marquis Jun, are still a vassal of the Eastern Emperor!"

With that said, everyone in the hall was shocked.

The Duke of Zhenbei was indeed a vassal of the emperor. The Su Clan had originally been a vassal of the royal family. After receiving a reward, they had come to this bitterly cold land to guard this border. They had barely been able to confer the title of a Marquis. However, ever since Jing Rui became the Emperor, no one in the world dared to underestimate the Su Clan of Hubei.

By now, no one had dared to speak of such a shameful past so bluntly to the hegemons.

After the tolling of the bell, the entire palace was silent.

Su Jin's expression was grave as she turned around to face the curtain. Listening to the wails of her concubines as they gave birth in pain, she looked at the crowd of officials from the Imperial Physician Bureau surrounding the Crown Prince, unable to do anything, and a layer of worry rose in her heart — — If it was according to his heart, he definitely would not have met Donghua's envoy.

Not to mention that this East Flower was right next to Huinan, and it was restricted by the Li Kingdom. Although it had been working hard for many years, it had long concealed a group of wolves to the north of Huinan.

However, he had never imagined that Xiao Tian Jie would actually have the guts to break free from the constraints of the Li Kingdom when he was in control of the North King's heir, hoping to use the power of the Eastern Emperor to suppress him and become a great power in the world.

But if he didn't see … In addition, Xiao Tian Jie would use the passing of the Emperor's Seal as an explanation to his Majesty to advance the slanderous. This made him the center of attention in the Party dispute, making him even more highly suspected and sensitive.

Su Jin had been a marquis for many years, and in his heart, she was already a marquis. He weighed the pros and cons, looking at the group of government officials bowing down, he lightly smiled.

"Let the Emissary of Donghua University go to the Taichen Palace. Please welcome him in his place, Minister Su." Su Jin took a deep look at this white girl who he would never be able to see through.

Hearing that it was the Minister for the Right, even Liu Shiyu, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but reveal an expression of disbelief when he heard that it was the Minister for the Right, who returned to the corner and pretended to sleep.

Su Jin waved her hand. The officials of the Privy Council did not dare to say anything and quickly bowed before retreating.

In the huge palace, Su Jin stood alone in the wind as she watched the rain descending from the mountains in Hubei. A trace of profoundness had appeared between her brows.

The Bai clan had originated from the Zu Long Emperor of the Da Xia Empire. They had used Xia Zulong to behead the White Snake Rebellion and overthrew the previous dynasty.

Xia Zulong was originally a butcher in Yangxia City. He was a rogue city man with no ambition, yet in the chaotic times, he was bestowed with three books on the art of martial arts of Grand Xia, overthrowing the previous dynasty and establishing the Grand Xia Dynasty.

The Bai Clan and the Su Clan were both servants of the Xia Clan, but the only difference was that the Bai Clan had outstanding achievements in battle. Although Xia Zulong had once again descended into the world, due to his oath to the 800 dukes that year, the Bai Clan did not become a king, and thus did not become a king, their family background was extremely famous, and they were no different from kings.
