"So, the emperor is really going to take action?"
Nan Wu Ju couldn't help but ask.
Nan Cang nodded.
"But what does this have to do with our Nan family? Why would the emperor take action..."
Nan Wu Ju asked again, but halfway through, his expression suddenly changed, and he even straightened up all of a sudden. He asked in a somewhat angry voice, "Doesn't the emperor trust my Nan family either?"
"shut up!"
Nan Cang shouted coldly, his old but sharp eyes fixed on Nan Wu Jue, and he sternly scolded him, "As the eldest son of the Nan family and the future head of the Nan family, don't you know what you can and can't say?"
"My son spoke out of turn, please forgive me, sir!"
Nan Wu Ju's face was filled with panic, and he quickly stood up and bowed.
Although Nan Wuyou was a little silly, he also felt the seriousness of what his father and brother said. Seeing Nan Wuju stand up, he quickly stood up as well and bowed together.
"snort!"
Nan Cang snorted coldly and then waved his hand.
The two men then bowed again and stood up, but did not dare to sit down again.
Nan Cang didn't let the two sit down, but slowly exhaled and said, "The Emperor doesn't distrust my Nan family, nor does he distrust Nan Cang. He is just being considerate of an old minister and not wanting to embarrass me."
After saying this, he saw that the two brothers were puzzled and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"As the Young Master of the Nan Family, don't you know that some of our Nan Family's subordinates may appear to be rivals with the Cui Family, but in reality they are either loyal to the Cui Family or simply harboring the enemy for their own benefit?"
Nan Cang asked in a deep voice.
Nan Wu Ju's expression changed slightly and his body became a little stiff.
As the next head of the Nan family, how could he be completely unaware of this matter even if he didn't pay special attention to it?
But he didn't think this was a bad thing, so he just turned a blind eye.
At the same time, he also understood what his father meant by sympathizing with the old ministers.
If his Nan family does not leave now, once the emperor wants to take action against the Cui family, the Nan family will have to make a choice.
There will only be three options at that time.
One is to help the emperor, the other is to help the Cui family, and the last is to help neither.
But these three options are not good choices for their Nan family.
Let’s not talk about the first two options. Whether helping the emperor or the Cui family, the final result is that the Nan family will become the target that must be eliminated by the final winner.
Because they have already stood at the top, Nan Cang himself is the Grand Marshal and controls all the troops in the world.
In addition, almost all the generals of the four towns in the world are from their Nan family.
If we add the merit of following the emperor, how should we reward him?
Even if they and their son do not rebel, the people below will force them to do so.
If Nancang doesn't rebel, their brothers will have to rebel too.
So, what if we don’t help either side?
Not to mention whether they can control it at that time.
Even if it can be controlled, would the emperor dare to take the risk?
Won't there be a gap between them afterwards?
Won’t those ministers in the court take advantage of this issue to make trouble later?
Thinking about it this way, the Nan family really has no other choice.
"But the Emperor is so eager to take action. Is he really sure?"
"That's not what you should be asking!"
Nan Cang said coldly, "With Luo Ying leading these 1,000 men in the capital, no matter what the final outcome is, my Nan family will have nothing to worry about. That's enough!"
There was one more thing he didn't say, which was that as long as they and his son left the capital, even if some people were still disobedient, that would be just an isolated case and had nothing to do with their Nan family.
But he naturally wouldn't say such words, even to his own son.
After hearing the drum for gathering the generals had already been struck three times, Nan Cang stood up, flung his cloak behind him and said in a deep voice, "Go up to the tent and call for the generals!"
A lieutenant nearby heard the order and immediately sang out loudly: "The third drum has sounded, the Grand Commandant has issued an order: Advance the tents, all officers!"
After three drum beats, the generals entered the army one after another.
The Grand Marshal sat high up in the hall, on a large horse and with a golden sword, with his personal guards and officers standing on either side, and below the hall he gave orders for the officers to stand in silence.
The swordsman, axeman, flag bearer and card bearer brought out the king's flag, and someone else brought out the tiger talisman for proofreading, and everything was done.
Cangnan talented people in a deep voice called out the names of the generals one by one, assigned each of them a mission, divided them into three vanguard routes, left, right and center, and also divided them into the central army and rear army, etc. Naturally, there is no need to elaborate on them one by one.
After all the arrangements were completed, everyone was ordered to be on duty and to reward meritorious service and punish criminals without any mistakes.
Nan Cang then gave the order in a deep voice: "All generals, prepare early. The army will leave the capital at noon tomorrow!"
“Here!”
All the generals responded!
…
At the same time, people all over the capital seemed to have sensed something.
Including Liu Zhi, who had already walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He looked up in the direction of the Taiwei Mansion and frowned slightly.
Then he sighed again.
He was already feeling a little lost, and now he felt even more gloomy.
He always had a high opinion of himself, and always dreamed that one day he would be able to assist a wise ruler in achieving great deeds, just like those famous ministers in history, who would retire to the mountains after achieving success and fame, thus realizing their ambitions and leaving behind a good story to be passed down by later historians.
After meeting Cui Cen, he thought this was the wise leader he wanted.
Cui Cen was indeed quite broad-minded and respected him greatly, so he was considered to be obedient to his every word, but how should I put it...
Although he always obeyed his orders, he always had to make some concessions to make him feel uncomfortable when trying to show off.
Just this time, he had clearly given three options, the best, the middle and the worst, and he had already said the best, the middle and the worst, but he actually chose the worst. This is simply...
The result turned out like this!
Of course, this was also his fault. He didn't expect that the emperor would not attend court that day.
but……
In this situation, don't you know how to adapt to the situation? I'm a counselor, not your nanny or teacher!
