Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

Chapter 43: Beating around the bush X Do you have any complaints?

The three elders looked at Gong Hongyu, then at each other, and stood up and sat on both sides of the tea table at the same time, vacating the position directly facing the blade.

Today's protagonists are these two, they are just witnesses.

Gong Shangjiao bowed respectfully and took a seat.

"Hold the blade, I'll do it." He naturally took the lid from Gong Hongyu's hand and covered the teapot. He picked up the teapot and filled the empty teacups in front of the four elders to 70% full one by one, then poured one for himself.

After he poured the tea, Gong Hongyu drank a sip of it, thought for a moment, and then whispered, "I urged you to come back this time, but I didn't ask you to go back to the Corner Palace to recuperate after you came back. I sent you here because I have something to tell you."

“Hold the blade and speak.” Gong Shangjiao lowered his eyes, bent his slender fingers and picked up the black-glazed rabbit-hair cup in front of him. He only touched his lips with the tea and put it down again.

"Over the past ten years, the Gong family's financial resources and income have grown steadily, far exceeding the wealth accumulated during the previous generation's reign, and you are responsible for the foundation and expansion of the family's livelihood. Your contribution is visible to everyone.

Over the years, you have been the one mediating disputes on behalf of the Gong family. All factions in the martial arts world have a consensus that you are the most powerful martial artist and strategist among the younger generation of the Gong family..."

He was smart and capable, well-mannered, and tactful, and he was willing to work hard for the palace. He was so outstanding that Gong Hongyu naturally admired him.

The three elders were listening and nodded frequently.

If we were to say who has made the greatest contribution to the palace and who the palace cannot do without, it would definitely be the young palace master in front of him who has been working hard outside for the livelihood of the palace, cannot return home for at least nine months a year, and has faced countless assassinations.

"Don't worry about empty reputation in the martial arts world." Gong Shangjiao was worried about his unconscious brother mentioned by Nanny Jin. He didn't understand why Gong Hongyu hurriedly asked someone to call him over but kept talking in a roundabout way and never got to the point. He was a little impatient, but didn't want to be rude in front of the elders, so he could only listen patiently.

"Wu Feng fears you, Jiang Hu respects you."

That was all caused by killing.

Kill Wu Feng and set an example for the world.

Gong Shangjiao curled his lips slightly, but in a flash, he said, "But in this martial world, fear is more useful than respect most of the time. Whether it's fear or respect, it's towards Gongmen, not towards me.

Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu, each of the four palaces has its own duties. With the support of Shang and Zheng palaces, I can travel smoothly and earn those gold and silver. "

He changed the subject and looked at Gong Hongyu: "Of course, the most important thing is that Yu Gong guards and commands the palace gates. Only then will I have no worries when I am away."

As soon as these words came out, before Gong Hongyu had time to show a satisfied expression on his face, the three elders from the back mountain nodded and smiled at Gong Shangjiao, expressing their appreciation and satisfaction.

Even though one is somewhat displeased with his tough tactics, who wouldn't like someone who is aware of the overall situation, has strong abilities and does not ignore the hard work and contributions of others, and does not fuss about or complain about any injustice?

Thinking about what Gong Hongyu said last night about Gong Huanyu, and then thinking about Gong Hongyu's face that was gloomy as if it was about to be struck by thunder and lightning before Gong Shangjiao arrived, everyone, including the soft-hearted Elder Yue, had already understood that there would be no room for maneuver in the matter of replacing the young master.

After a night and a day, more than eight hours of calm time passed.

Gong Hongyu also sent his Red Jade Maid Jin Yi to secretly search Gong Huanyu's bedroom, study and other places where he usually stayed in Yu Palace.

Although he didn't know what Jin Yi had found specifically, Gong Hongyu still insisted on his decision from last night. This only meant that Gong Hongyu's plan to kill his father was not just a plan, but was already being implemented.

If blood ties and ten years of nurturing must give way to his ambition, then what else in this world, besides himself, is there that he would not be willing to sacrifice?

No one is willing to gamble the conscience of an ambitious man with the lives of themselves, their relatives, friends and clansmen.

"You have always been the most sensible." Gong Hongyu sighed softly and looked at Gong Shangjiao very sincerely, "My decision back then was really unfair to you. The position of the young master..."

Gong Shangjiao actually didn't like to hear others mention this matter, especially from the mouth of this blade holder.

The unfair thing has been done, the bullied person didn't say anything, so the bully should just shut up and be happy.

But this man holding the blade doesn't.

He just wanted to bring it up, and he brought it up out of the blue.

Every time, I put people on a high pedestal with compliments like “You’re always the most sensible.”

This was followed by a very sincere apology.

And then he said a bunch of things like "It's not that you're not good enough, but no one else can take over the external affairs of the Jiao Palace except you", as if he was afraid that Gong Shangjiao would be defeated by the setback, become devastated and self-deprecating, and no longer be willing to work hard for the palace.

To conclude, Gong Shangjiao was wronged for the sake of Gong Men, but he had to continue to be wronged for the sake of Gong Men.

"Master Zhiren." Gong Shangjiao lowered his eyes and placed the black-glazed rabbit-hair cup on the table. The bottom of the cup knocked against the tea table, making a light and crisp sound. "It's late at night, and I'm a little tired. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

He had long since let go of what happened back then.

As long as the person sitting in that position has good ability and moral character and can put the safety of the Gong family and the interests of the palace first, then it doesn't matter who sits in that position.

He also knew the reasons why Gong Hongyu and the three elders chose Gong Huanyu: his martial arts skills were not much different from his, he had a father who wielded a sword, he was elegant and dignified, he was gentle and polite to others, and his personality and attitude were not tough...

The father is partial to the children he raised, and the retainer wants a kind and lenient lord.

How is Gong Shangjiao inferior to Gong Huanyu?

The only problem was that all of Gong Shangjiao's elders and relatives had died in the disaster, and he had no one to rely on, no one to back him up.

From then on, Gong Shangjiao was no longer the head of Jiao Palace, Gong Shangjiao, but Mr. Gong Er, the Lord of Jiao Palace who traveled around the world on behalf of the palace.

Before he even reached adulthood, he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the entire palace.

He waded through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood countless times, gritting his teeth and bleeding.

He had to be tough and put on armor on his heart so as not to give his enemies and the greedy any chance to hurt him.

However, it gave those relatives and servants who were supported by him an excuse to despise and exclude him.

"I have been thinking about this for some time." Gong Hongyu's expression became serious. He looked at Gong Shangjiao and asked, "Shangjiao, you passed the Three Realms Trial before Huanyu, but we chose Huanyu to be the young master. Do you have any complaints over the years?"

Gong Shangjiao shook his head, too lazy to speak, and lowered his eyelashes to block the mockery in his eyes.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have laughed.

Now he finally understood why Gong Hongyu urged him to come back and called him here in a hurry to cause such a scene.

Gong Hongyu wanted to change the young master of the palace, and the three elders had no objection.

So what did Gong Huanyu do to make even Elder Ruyue so soft-hearted that he refused to protect him?
