Chapter 036: The Emperor Calculates, Lacks and Plans
A purple-robed man with two mustaches stepped forward.
But no matter what He Shen said or what the emperor said, he couldn't say that he was a traitor.
So show loyalty, show ruthlessly!
"Your Majesty, the minister's heart can be seen by the sun and the moon. For this reason, the minister is willing to cut out his heart to show His Majesty if it is red!"
The mustache screamed, and he couldn't help but look around, but he couldn't find any knives.
The mustache was very atmospheric and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to give your minister a knife!"
Many courtiers looked at it with contempt, this acting was too much.
Dissecting?
Is this something that people can figure out, in case this emperor who doesn't play cards according to common sense really wants you to dissect your heart?
"Lord Hong is really bright!" Zhang Wei nodded: "That's right, if you want to say that you are a loyal minister, you have to express it." But I don't have to, I believe you!"
Lord Hong's face was happy: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"But Lord Red is a loyal minister, and I happen to have something here that needs a loyal minister like Lord Red to do. ”
Lord Hong's face stiffened, and he smiled and said, "Please...... Your Majesty, please!"
"I have a letter here, and Lord Hong sent it to the head of the Fang family in Los Angeles on my behalf. ”
Lord Hong's face turned pale, and he said hesitantly: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, if you have a decree and let them come to you, why do you ......?"
"This is a private matter, and it's not good to make a holy decree, so I'll bother Lord Hong to take a trip. Remember, it must be delivered within two days!"
With a wave of Zhang Wei's hand, an envelope floated towards Lord Hong.
Lord Red stretched out his hands tremblingly, and then his face was crying as if he was about to cry.
"Lord Hong, let's go, I know you're not going fast, so go early and come back early!"
"Your Majesty......" with a crying voice, Lord Hong's hands were still shaking.
"Why, you are such a loyal minister, you can't even send a letter to me? Are you a traitor, a minister?!"
"No, no, no, the minister is a loyal minister, and the minister will go!"
Lord Hong was excited, and hurriedly accepted the letter: "The minister is ...... Go!"
"Go early and come back early!"
Lord Hong left, and the courtiers looked at this scene and felt that the storm was coming.
What does a seemingly simple thing trigger?
Many people are also very dissatisfied with the remaining six families of the seven sects and five surnames.
Aren't they very powerful, why haven't they moved at all these days?
Well, now the emperor is going to strike again.
"He Shen, how much money do you say the seven sects and five surnames will have?" Zhang Wei asked suddenly.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Yang family is because of the funding of the King of Shu, so there is only so much left. According to the slave's estimate, the remaining six, the least of which is at least 30 million taels, not counting various industries and antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade. As soon as He Shen said this, he came to the heart: "Your Majesty, the minions have all agreed with His Royal Highness the War King, and we will go to the house in the future!"
Arrogance, arrogance.
Once again, the emperor mentioned the seven clans and five surnames in front of them.
He Shen even wanted to raid his house for a long time.
Is the emperor so impatient?
Zhang Wei looked at everyone's faces and was also anxious: he had told them before that he was going to destroy the seven sects and five surnames, and they all released the news. But the seven sects and five surnames were too timid, and they didn't move one by one. If they didn't move, how could they destroy them for no reason? How could they increase the power of the Son of Heaven Sword?
After a long time, Zhang Wei was also afraid.
Therefore, the teacher is famous, and he must let the other party do it first.
Since the other party can endure it, he can only add some medicine.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the people who couldn't walk together secretly all gathered together.
It's just that no one could guess that the person in charge didn't appear right away.
The officials changed into ordinary clothes and gathered in a courtyard.
It seems that this annex was intended for some of the more elegant people to discuss poetry and poetry.
Dozens of people sat and looked at each other with some embarrassment.
"What's that saying?"
"Say what, wait for Elder Fang to come!"
Each family has its own leader, although they are officials, they do not have much right to speak, which is also where they are unwilling.
"Is this time a collaboration?"
"Whether they cooperate or not, depending on them, we are just passing on some news. ”
"That stupid guy of Hong Daming, I have nothing to say, now it's okay, I don't know what the emperor wrote in his letter. ”
In the midst of the chatter, a well-dressed man arrived, who looked to be no more than fifty years old.
"Elder Fang!"
More than a dozen people stood up, and this old man was the head of the Fang family in Luocheng in Tianxiang City.
"Why did you bring in a few other people?"
"Elder Fang, that's ......" A person hurriedly said everything.
The more Fang Lao listened, the more frowning he became: "Look at what this means, the emperor is very sure that he can wipe out our seven sects and five surnames, so he is so impatient to continue to provoke?"
"Yes, I don't know what is written in Hong Daming's letter, and what will happen to the head of the family once he sees it. ”
Fang Lao looked at the person on the other side: "Hong Daming is their person, why did the emperor let him send the letter, his heart can be punished!"
"Old Fang, the emperor is extremely ruthless, and today even Tang Busong, who has nothing to do with our family, was driven home by him. The next step is very likely to be us, he is going to cut off all the eyeliner of the seven families and five surnames in the court!"
Elder Fang listened and nodded: "Then what do you mean?"
"We've discussed it and we're ready to ......"
Just as he was about to speak, the principals of several other families also walked in cautiously.
After everyone said it again, the rest of the principals realized that the matter was not simple, and the emperor didn't seem to be talking, but really wanted to destroy the seven sects and five surnames.
But they don't understand, where did the emperor get his confidence, relying on two pure minds?
"What do you think should be done?" asked Elder Fang on his own initiative.
The eyes of the rest of the families flashed, and they did not speak immediately.
They are the ones in charge, but they can't make decisions for the whole family.
What's more, the seven clans and five surnames, they are powerful, and they have been related to each other by marriage for many years, it can be said that you have me, I have you.
But the interests of the family are different.
Even if the current goal is the same, they are all emperors, but they still have to think about how to obtain greater benefits.
Seeing this, Elder Fang sneered in his heart: Son, lack and conspiracy!
"In that case, let's go back and report first, and we'll talk about it again tomorrow, after all, this concerns each of us!" After Fang Lao finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.
A group of ministers were disappointed when they saw this.
At this time, these people are still like this.
The minister, who was already wavering, now feels in his heart that he should fall to the emperor?
The helpless ministers glanced at each other, and when they saw the rest of the principals leaving and were about to leave, a person broke in.
"You're all here, it's good that I'm not late!"
Everyone was amazed.
"Lord Hong, why are you still in Tianxiang City, and you haven't set off yet?"
"Look at this letter, the Emperor's letter!"
"You opened the letter?"
