"General Feng Jiu, please don't be angry. Minister Zhou misspoke..."

While his subordinates were confused, Zhan Wenwu was clear-headed and immediately explained to Feng Jiu.

Is it reasonable for the head of the cabinet to bow down to a general?

unreasonable!

But this general was a leading figure in the Fengtian clique, known as the Jade-Faced Yama, and was also the deputy of Marshal Lin!

That makes all of this make sense!

Now the fate of the entire Great Xia Dynasty is in the hands of Marshal Lin, so who dares to say no?

This Zhou Qing is practically asking for death!

Zhan Wenwu had cursed him a thousand times in his heart.

Fortunately, Feng Jiu simply smiled slightly.

"Your Excellency, there's no need for such formality. I, the general, will naturally not hold a grudge against a few pedantic and pedantic scholars. However, in this world, civil officials seem to be of little use. Perhaps they could go to the camp to cook, where they might still be of some use!"

Um?

Zhou Qing's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

What does "forearm cub" mean?

Everyone else was also slightly taken aback.

What does it mean that civil officials are useless?

Without Lao Tzu governing the country, could the country function?

And what's this about making a high-ranking official like that cook and start a fire at the camp? You son of a bitch!

A group of civil officials cursed him a thousand times in their hearts!

"You, you, you are simply outrageous! You traitorous minister, how dare you spread rumors and mislead the public! Your Excellency, such an arrogant person is definitely not a good person in the army. I suggest that you immediately imprison him and investigate him, and thoroughly investigate the Fengtian clique as well!"

These civil officials had long tolerated the military, feeling that the Grand Secretary was always controlled by the military, which was intolerable to the civil official group.

"shut up!"

Zhan Wenwu's face turned green.

This old man, are you trying to kill me?

"Someone come here!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

At Zhan Wenwu's command, the Imperial Guard Captain led his men in.

"Take Zhou Qing down and hand him over to the Prefect of Yandu for a thorough investigation. Then send him to the camp's cookhouse to cook for me and make him reflect on his actions!"

"Grand Secretary!!"

Zhou Qing was dumbfounded.

He's Zhan Wenwu's right-hand man!

He followed Zhan Wenwu from the local area all the way to Yandu.

Many of those present had risen through the ranks alongside Zhan Wenwu and had just joined the company.

They were all preparing to make great strides and achieve great things, but unexpectedly, Zhan Wenwu turned against his own people?

Zhan Wenwu was extremely disappointed in him!

Hey old man, why do you talk so much?

In addition, I also blame myself for not explaining things clearly.

In fact, it was only after arriving in Yandu and being told by Pang Wensheng that he learned who the real master behind Daxia and Yandu was.

Because only those at the level of aristocratic families and the cabinet could know these secrets.

How would Mi know about these other little cards?

They disliked the way military officers operated and felt that they were likely to disrupt the government. If they gained or lost power, they could sideline the cabinet and establish a military government, which would be a terrible thing.

Learn from history!

They felt they were acting with righteous indignation, and were not even afraid of death for the sake of righteousness.

But what's the reality?

It's all about profit!

How is it any better for civil officials to control the government than for military officials?

Those intellectuals, not a single one of them is any good!

This is also a lesson from history!

Knowledge does not equate to culture.

Knowledge falling into the hands of a wicked person is more terrifying than a butcher's knife falling into the hands of a bandit.

Because a butcher can only kill one person, but a corrupt official can harm thousands of people.

Why is the Great Xia in this state now?

This is fundamental!

When it comes to Lin Yu, Zhan Wenwu dares not be ambiguous.

Actually, he was protecting Zhou Qing; making him do the cooking and tending the fire was already letting him off easy.

If we let him continue to be so arrogant, he will definitely be courting death!

However, Zhou Qing, oblivious to his impending doom, burst into wild laughter. "Leader Zhan, I know you have many difficulties. The current situation does indeed require military officers and the strong support of those warlords! But I am not afraid. When the emperor commands a subject to die, the subject must die. But if I, Zhou Qing, am to die, it will be heavier than Mount Tai. Feng Jiu, go back and tell Lin Yu that I can cook for him, but if he dares to do anything to overthrow the court, I will haunt him even as a vengeful ghost. I..."

"Holy shit!!"

Bang!

Feng Jiu threw a punch, sending Zhou Qing flying with all his old teeth flying out.

Blood splattered everywhere, a horrifying sight.

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected that a mere commander would dare to beat Zhou Qing in front of the Grand Secretary!

"You, you!"

Zhou Qing covered her mouth, lay on the ground, wincing in pain, unable to utter a single word.

"With your looks, we wouldn't even hire you to cook or do chores, you're not even fit to clean the toilets for our young marshal! Leader Zhan, you'd better keep this piece of trash for yourself!"

After saying this, Feng Jiu turned and walked outside.

"Hey, General Feng Jiu, wait for me!"

Tony snapped out of his daze and quickly followed.

After this commotion, he became even more certain that he had found the right person. The Fengtian clique truly held sway in the Great Xia Dynasty!

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

"How could the Fengtian clique be so arrogant?"

"Leader Zhan, if you continue to indulge him, he'll become completely out of control!"

After a moment, the civil officials began to discuss it among themselves.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Zhan Wenwu's face was extremely ugly.

He didn't blame Feng Jiu, but instead blamed these arrogant fools!

"You all need to remember this: Great Xia is no longer the Great Xia of peacetime! Great Xia is now undergoing an unprecedented upheaval and crisis! The changes in the next three to five years may be revolutionary, even greater than the changes of the past hundred years!"
