The four major families of Wang, Kong, Qin, and Li are all equal in status and power, and there is not much difference in power between them.

Qin Ruhuo, Wang Quangui, Li Zihao, and Kong Xiangxi are not afraid of anyone, and they don't obey anyone.

Of course, among the four, Wang Quangui and Kong Xiangxi have slightly higher status.

The reason why their status is slightly higher is because their strength is slightly stronger than Qin Ruhuo and Li Zihao.

Wang Quangui cultivates the Space Law, one of the ten strongest laws among the Three Thousand Laws. He has already cultivated the seven branch laws of the Space Avenue.

It is precisely because of this that the status of kings and dignitaries is slightly higher than other people.

Kong Xiangxi practiced the very strange Law of Wen among the Three Thousand Laws, and he also practiced the seven branches of the Law of Wen.

Qin Ruhuo cultivates the Law of Soul among the Three Thousand Laws, and he has cultivated to the six branches of the Avenue of Soul.

Li Zihao practiced the earth law among the three thousand laws, and he also practiced the six branch laws of the earth path.

Of course, although there is some difference in strength between the four of them, it is not big, and their status is naturally about the same.

Qin Ruhuo, Wang Quangui, Li Zihao, and Kong Xiangxi are all top-level beings in charge of one party. They don't talk nonsense about wisdom and far-sightedness. At least they are sophisticated and slick and will not suffer easily.

Normally, they sit in their respective families, each occupying their own space.

Because of the tyranny of their own power, they have no rivals across Zizhou. They rarely join forces to fight against the enemy, and they all work independently.

Only when decisions are related to the fate of all aristocratic families will they come together to discuss what to do.

When four people discuss major issues, one person has one vote. Things with more votes will pass, while things with less votes will not.

…

"First clear out the gang of bastards hiding in the dark, and then have a decisive battle with the Liu family. Everyone agrees with this suggestion.

Wang Zhigui said.

"agree!"

Qin Ruhuo was the first to speak and said that all his younger brothers had been killed. If the boss didn't come forward, the other younger brothers would definitely abandon him when they saw it.

"agree!"

Li Zihao said with a smile on his face.

"agree"

Kong Xiangxi's cold voice came.

…

"Since everyone has agreed, let's get ready. After we have a good talk with Liu Xie, we can take action. Anyone who disobeys our forces this time must be eliminated."

"Unlike in the past, this time we must work together, otherwise, outsiders will definitely take advantage of us!"

The tone of the powerful king was full of emotion and warning.

Liu's loss of the tripod was not only an opportunity for them, but also a whirlpool that could swallow them up.

"Hahahahaha, no matter what, Liu has been sitting in the position of Immortal Emperor for countless years. If I can win this position, I can show off when I go down to meet my ancestors!"

Qin Ruhuo laughed and said.

…

"Yes, after so many years, I have finally waited for this opportunity. If I don't take action, I may not have the opportunity in the future. Let's take a gamble!"

Li Zihao's body burst out with extremely strong fighting spirit.

…

"As a person who bears the glory of our ancestors, we should have the ambition to surpass our ancestors!"

Kong Xiangxi’s words were resounding and firm!

Chang'an, the imperial capital.

Liu Xie sat high on the dragon chair, wearing an imperial crown and ten thousand dragon imperial robes. He looked at the ministers below with a gloomy expression.

"The four major families of Wang, Kong, Qin, and Li sent people to negotiate with us. How should we handle this matter?"

Liu Xie asked.

"To report to the Immortal Emperor, Wei Chen believes that although the four major families are all Throne families, they are still the Immortal Emperor's ministers after all, and they have no qualifications to negotiate with us!"

Liu Adou, the Minister of Rites, spoke righteously, his voice full of infinite confidence in the center of the imperial court.

In fact, Liu Adou was not ignorant of how serious the current situation was. He also knew that Immortal Emperor Liu Xie definitely wanted to negotiate.

But as the Minister of Rites, his position forced him to stand up and say a few words.

As the leader of a faction, after Liu Adou finished speaking, many officials below naturally agreed with him and thought his words were reasonable!

Liu Xie, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly became a little ugly when he heard this.

Although he knew Liu Adou's difficulties, he didn't want to listen to such nonsense now.

What he wants to hear most now is a practical solution to the problem, not some bullshit rules and etiquette.

After scolding Liu Adou a few words, Liu Xie turned around and saw other people, wanting to hear what other people thought about this matter.

Liu Zhan, Minister of the Ministry of War, frowned, stepped forward and said: "To report to the Immortal Emperor, I believe that the four major families of Wang, Kong, Qin, and Li have been rooted in Zizhou for many years and have a profound foundation. Although they are ministers, they are only in name.

They are just heads, in fact they are just princes."

"The current situation is not very good for us. The rebellions in various places have not yet been eradicated. I think this negotiation is a good opportunity for us. I hope the Immortal Emperor will learn from it!

"

…

"Sir, Minister of the Ministry of War, do you know what the word rite is?"

"There is an order of respect and inferiority, including immortal emperors, aristocratic families, ministers, petty officials, and casual cultivators. This is called respecting the elder and the younger."

"There is a hierarchical order between the monarch and his ministers, and there are written rules and regulations. How can there be any negotiation between the emperor and his ministers?"

"This is simply a big joke. Lord Minister of the Ministry of War, what are you thinking about?"

After hearing Liu Zhan's words, Liu Adou couldn't help but jumped out and retorted.

In fact, it is not easy to be the Minister of Rites.

Although the Ministry of Rites is the smallest department with the least power among the six departments, it still does a lot of shit every day, and it is not a greasy bureaucracy.

Moreover, under some special conditions, the Minister of Rites must stand up and say something, otherwise, he will never be able to sit still.

The Ministry of Rites, the department responsible for etiquette, and the way of ritual and music have collapsed, so why do we still need ritual and music?

It is precisely because of this that even Liu Adou, who usually has a very good relationship with Liu Zhan, must refute Liu Zhan righteously at this time.

If you are in your position, you should do your job.

…

"That's right, Minister of the Ministry of War, aren't you afraid?"

Liu Junkai, the waiter at the left of the Ministry of Rites, said sarcastically, his brows filled with disdain.

"What did you say? You bastards?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhan couldn't bear it anymore and retorted.

…

Next, there was a lot of hype in the court.

The ministers are roughly divided into two groups, one supports negotiations and the other does not support negotiations.

No one would let up anyway, and they kept arguing in the court hall.

"Okay, please shut up. This meeting is over. Let's discuss it tomorrow. Let's adjourn!"

Looking at the noisy courtiers, Liu Xie waved his sleeves and left with a gloomy expression.

Afterwards, the noisy ministers, who were blushing and thick-necked, started talking one after another.

In the study, Liu Xie sat on the front seat with a very unhappy expression, looking at Liu Chuang, Liu Shan, Liu Gao and Liu Jing.

"This time, the four major families of Wang, Kong, Qin, and Li sent people to negotiate. Do you think it is true or false..."

Liu Xie said with a gloomy expression.

Liu Chuang pondered for a moment and then said: "Since it was the four of them who took the initiative to come to us for negotiation, they must have discovered something and were unwilling to make wedding dresses for others, so they wanted to cooperate with us first to clean it up together.

Those guys hiding behind the scenes."ъìＱυＧΕtＶ.℃ǒΜ

"I think there is no harm in talking to them. Those guys hiding in the dark are really annoying."

"If we really fight against the four major families and we both lose, then it is really possible that we will be stabbed in the back by those guys."

…

After Liu Xie heard this, his expression changed a little.

It is indeed a good idea to first get rid of those forces that fish in troubled waters and wait and see secretly, and then decide the outcome.
