Chapter 1047: A Good Ancestor (Second Big Chapter, Monthly Ticket +)

Zong Ruoning knew that this matter could not be punished openly.

At present, they had no direct evidence, not even witnesses.

Because Her Royal Highness the Princess, even if she had neglected it before, must have executed all the relevant people now.

Even if there were still fish that slipped through the net, they would not be able to find them in a short time.

Secondly, this matter was also a huge blow to Mr. Zong.

After all, he was calculated by his closest relatives, which was also a major blow to Mr. Zong, who was always proud of the father-son filial piety, brother-brother friendship and brother-brother respect of their Zong family.

Zong Ruoning was not even sure how much punishment his grandfather could impose on his second aunt, or his second uncle, when his father had died and his third uncle was incapable of it.

What's more, there was the Emperor behind his second aunt...

This was not something they could touch at all.

What's more important is that once everything is revealed, the fresh blood unicorn leaf in his hand will be the first to be questioned by some people, and Xia Chujian may even be involved...

Although he has made all kinds of perfect preparations and has always taken the blame on himself, claiming that he got it.

But what he got on this trip to Green Star is not hidden from others, and it is easy to find out and let people know that he is lying.

Only Xia Chujian's team handed over the fresh blood unicorn on this trip to Green Star.

Although she got it from Green Star, it also proves that she concealed something about what she got from Green Star.

Isn't this what His Majesty the Emperor is most afraid of at present?

The torture and temptation of His Majesty Xia Chujian before was not just a suspicion of how many things she concealed about this starry sky adventure?

Zong Ruoning knew very well that people in high positions are suspicious.

The emperor's suspicion is particularly serious, and it has reached the level of "incurable".

Xia Chujian has now lost the memory of entering the Gate of God's Descent, but she still retains the memory before that.

Mr. Zong sneered: "Do you think that your second aunt is the only one involved in this matter?"

Zong Ruoning: "..."

Mr. Zong looked at him and began to teach him as usual: "You should also know who is behind your second aunt."

Zong Ruoning's heart skipped a beat, but he still looked gentle and asked in confusion: "... Your Majesty? Why?"

Mr. Zong calmed down and said: "Why?"

"The four nobles look high and mighty, but in fact they have always been a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the Tan Tai royal family."

"But for some reason, they dare not do anything to us."

Zong Ruoning hurriedly said: "Is it because of the ancestral precepts of the Tan Tai royal family?"

"That was later written into the constitution of the Beichen Empire!"

During the constitutional monarchy period, the four nobles united the vast majority of nobles to fight against the imperial power, and finally determined the legal status of the four nobles.

After all, they knew that relying solely on ancestral precepts to maintain their status would depend on the royal family's own "self-discipline".

When did the royal family ever exercise self-discipline over their power?

Unless they had no choice, they had to "self-discipline".

So when they finally waited for an opportunity, they immediately united and forced the emperor to sign the constitutional monarchy bill.

From then on, the emperor ceded some power, and even allowed the Senate composed of the military, nobles and civilians, as well as the cabinet, to share some power with the royal family.

But Mr. Zong just sneered and said, "Aning, don't have unrealistic fantasies about the royal family, and don't think that everything will be fine if the emperor signs the constitutional monarchy bill."

Zong Ruoning looked at Mr. Zong in confusion.

Mr. Zong said meaningfully: "Since laws can be made, they can also be abolished."

"As long as the royal family is still there, one day, they will take back all the power..."

"And to achieve this goal, the first target they have to eliminate is our four nobles."

Zong Ruoning's pupils shrank sharply: "Grandfather! His Majesty the Emperor will not be so cruel!"

Mr. Zong looked at himself, then looked back at the medical cabin, and said: "What do you think?"

"Hasn't it been done?"

Zong Ruoning found it incredible: "...Isn't it because the second house wants the inheritance of the Zong family, so...?"

Mr. Zong nodded, shook his head, and said: "The second son and his family do want the inheritance of the Zong family."

"But the emperor can help them, do you think he is just for his sister?"

Zong Ruoning was shocked.

Mr. Zong continued, "This time, the emperor even used the dried blood unicorn, which is enough to show his determination."

He touched the back of his head and said with lingering fear, "If the family emblems of our four nobles had not disappeared, the royal family would not dare to be so excessive..."

This is information that Zong Ruoning has never known.

He did not speak again, holding his breath and listening to Mr. Zong's story.

Because Mr. Zong almost died at the hands of his own people this time, he also felt that it was time to prepare for the transfer of power.

Although he still has hundreds of years to live, Zong Ruoning does not need to take over the Zong family immediately.

But it is always better to be prepared.

In case he is unlucky in the future and encounters such a thing again, Zong Ruoning is also mentally prepared.

At the same time, the manpower of the family will also be transferred to Zong Ruoning one by one.

With this thought in mind, Mr. Zong told him a secret about the Zong family or the unity of the four nobles.

"Ruoning, you have seen our family emblem, but do you know that we once had a emblem, which was the seal representing the clan."

"That was passed down from Tantai Lin, the founding emperor of the Beichen Empire."

Zong Ruoning casually took out an emblem seal and said, "Is this it?"

Mr. Zong didn't even look at it and said, "This is a fake, just an imitation. The real thing has disappeared long ago."

Zong Ruoning: "!!!"

The thing that he carries around like a treasure is just a fake? !

Zong Ruoning asked in confusion: "But many of our important documents are used as vouchers..."

All stamped are the emblem seals in his hand.

Mr. Zong said: "It's just a certificate. You can carve it out with a carrot and it will cover it."

"But the difference in the seal I'm talking about is not the content engraved on it, but the material of the seal."

"When our four great nobles were ennobled, we were all given a clan emblem by the grace of the founding emperor."

"The material of that emblem seal is the same as the national seal."

"It even comes from the same treasure as the Great Seal."

Zong Ruoning looked at the warm jade-like family emblem on his palm and subconsciously asked: "What kind of material is it made of?"

Mr. Zong said slowly: "...It's like a maze."

Zong Ruoning suddenly raised his head: "So this is the real reason why you asked me to go there in person to find the maze of underworld?!"

Mr. Zong closed his eyes and said, "Yes, and no."

"Back then, your father originally won a great victory in the Starry Sky Battlefield. However, on his way back, he got news of the Maze Underworld and went to pursue it. Unfortunately, he fell into a space crack and died in the Starry Sky Battlefield."

After so many years, Zong Ruoning knew the real reason why his father died on the Starry Sky Battlefield!

Actually it’s for the sake of getting lost in the underworld again...

Zong Ruoning's chest was rolling with emotions that he didn't even understand.

After a while, he said regretfully: "This time, I still couldn't find the maze."

Mr. Zong's face darkened and he said, "We didn't find it, but His Majesty the Emperor found it."

Zong Ruoning frowned: "What did you say? How did you know?"

Mr. Zong did not say how he knew.

But as a grand duke, one of the four great nobles, he also had the military industry of the Zong family at his disposal. His sons, grandsons, brothers, nephews, and cousins ​​were all over the Beichen Empire government and inside and outside the palace.

He naturally has his own news channels.

Mr. Zong did not answer Zong Ruoning's question and continued: "That year, a total of nine mysterious underworlds were found."

"The royal family took five shares, occupied the majority, and carved it into a jade seal passed down to the country."

"The other four copies, one for each of our four noble families, were carved into the family emblem."

"These five seals are a symbol of the emperor and the four nobles co-ruling the world."

"It can also protect us from being controlled by the royal family's powers."

Zong Ruoning understood something at this time and hurriedly said: "What should we do? How long have we been missing? Does anyone else know?"

Mr. Zong sneered and said, "What does it matter?"

"Anyway, everyone's clan emblems and seals, as well as the national jade seal, are all lost!"

"Hahahaha! I lost it all! I deserve it! I deserve it!"

When Zong Ruoning heard this, he was suddenly horrified and said, "No way? The current jade seal of the country is also fake?!"

Mr. Zong nodded slowly: "The current imperial seal is carved from a piece of Huanglong jade that looks similar to Mijin Huangquan."

"But no one else knows about this except the emperor himself and the heads of the four noble families."

He looked at Zong Ruoning and said, "Now you know it too."

Zong Ruoning was extremely excited.

Although he always knew that his grandfather was grooming him as his heir, he always felt that the second wife was also very powerful.

Especially since his second aunt was still the eldest princess of the empire, he once felt that he could not compete with her status.

So when his mother asked him to put down all his external possessions and stay with him at home, he obeyed and even wanted to be an "invisible person" in the family.

But my grandfather refused.

During the seven years when he stayed at home and ignored worldly affairs, his grandfather still took him with him and left all family affairs to him.

Today, I even told him the secrets of all the previous clan leaders!

This trust is more important to Zong Ruoning than any inheritance.

Zong Ruoning said softly: "Grandpa, don't worry, this matter will be rotten in my heart."

Mr. Zong chuckled and said, "There is no need to be so cautious."

"This is a tacit thing. In fact, the heirs of the major families know something about it."

"You don't have to care."

Zong Ruoning: "..."

Mr. Zong felt even funnier when he saw the change in his eldest grandson's expression.

He quite likes teasing this child who has watched the youth mature since he was a child.

Mr. Zong smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed and he said, "Originally, everyone is gone, so it's a kind of balance."

"But now, the Beichen royal family has found a piece of the puzzle. This is not good news for our four nobles."

Zong Ruoning said hurriedly: "Where was it found? Do you have any clues? We can go to that place to search again."

Mr. Zong said with a strange expression: "It's on the Green Star."

"I heard that it was found by a student of the Empire's First Military Academy, and then personally delivered to His Majesty by the Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau."

A student?

Zong Ruoning's expression also became strange.

Could it be the one he was thinking of?

Mr. Zong said, "I'm still asking which student it was."

"Anyway, your school got a lot of good stuff on Green Star this time!"

Zong Ruoning thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Green Star does have a lot of good stuff."

"This time I happened to get some fresh blood unicorn leaves, which I also brought back from Green Star."

"There are so many exotic flowers and rare minerals there, and they are everywhere, too numerous to count."

Mr. Zong was fascinated: "What a great place..."

Changing the subject, "But I heard that the military couldn't find Green Star again, right?"

Zong Ruoning nodded: "Green Star had already split off a satellite at that time."

"What happened later, I don't know."

"I came back with the main force."

Mr. Zong said, "I heard that one of your students lost contact there, have you found him?"

Xia Chujian's disappearance on Green Star was no secret among the upper echelons of the empire.

Zong Ruoning pulled his collar unnaturally, and then said: "I'm back, but the emperor has tormented me."

"The brain tissue is covered with brain fog, especially the hippocampus. It is said that the emperor has asked someone with special abilities to test it, and her hippocampus has been destroyed."

Grandpa Zong shook his head regretfully: "The Tantai royal family has always been like this..."

"They never know what it means to accumulate virtue, let alone what it means to serve the country and the people."

"They are too extreme..."

Zong Ruoning looked at Grandpa Zong.

He had never heard his grandfather say such harsh words to the royal family.

This time, he must have hated the emperor so much that he spoke rudely.

Zong Ruoning followed and said: "Grandfather, how can they sit on the throne for ten thousand years even though they are so perverse?"

Grandpa Zong sighed: "... have a good ancestor! Can't compare... can't compare..."

After speaking, he yawned, his face full of sleepiness.

Zong Ruoning said hurriedly: "Grandfather, let me help you back to the bedroom."

Grandpa Zong's bedroom is next to the medical room.

When people get older, they like to live closer to the hospital.

Grandpa Zong went a step further and put the best medical equipment next to his bedroom.

The two suites are connected and the confidentiality measures are very strict.

And this time, Grandpa Zong also suffered from his own people.

If it weren't for his granddaughter Zong Qianxi plotting against him...

Thinking of this, Grandpa Zong narrowed his eyes and said: "Ruoning, find someone to draft a lawyer's letter for me and post it on the official Xingbo account of the Zong family immediately."

Zong Ruoning nodded: "What are you going to do?"

Grandpa Zong said coldly: "Zong Qianxi is expelled from the Zong family tree, and is not allowed to have the surname Zong. She is no longer a descendant of my Zong family."
