Chapter 230: Li Zhi's Reflections
Chapter 230 On the afternoon of the same day, the officials of Dali Temple took the jailers everywhere to arrest people, and basically arrested those who were in charge in the workshop, but they still haven't touched their families.
After Li Chengqian learned about it, he soon went to the Ministry of Industry, and he asked Qin Huaidao to discuss it, after all, he didn't know about the sudden arrest this time.
And I don't know what Li Shimin means, but fortunately, the people he asked Qin Huaidao to keep before were not arrested, but the fines were also paid.
"Your Highness, rest assured, next, it will actually be more beneficial to you, Your Highness!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile and poured tea for Li Chengqian.
"Huh? And the benefits? Li Chengqian heard it, and looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Of course it's favorable, at the beginning they still had expectations, but now they are all from poor families or small families who defect to you, right?" Qin Huaidao smiled and handed the tea to Li Chengqian, and then asked with a smile.
"That's right!" Li Chengqian nodded, took Qin Huaidao's tea, and still looked at Qin Huaidao.
"Your Highness, people don't want to ask for birth when they are not desperate, they thought that the family would be able to keep them, so this time the officials of the family wrote to Your Majesty, and they also took a fancy to this.
The family concluded that His Majesty could not kill them all, and those officials knew about it, but now, they had gone to the cell, and whether they were going to be killed or not was a matter of thought.
Therefore, this time is when they are most vulnerable, and if they have talent, they can be used by you. Qin Huaidao smiled and picked up the tea, drank a cup after speaking, and then poured himself a cup.
"Makes sense!" When Li Chengqian heard this, he was very happy, and immediately drank a cup, and Qin Huaidao refilled it for him.
"Your Highness, remember that sentence, the family is also made up of people! The officials of the family, for your use, keep it, not for your use, why keep it? Kill it, this time so many people have been arrested, and those official positions have been vacated, Your Highness, you can also operate it,
Look at those officials who can use it, and put it in, Your Majesty also means this! Qin Huaidao looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and said.
"Well, this trick is good, I still thought at the beginning, what will my father do if those officials of the family are so booked? After all, it is indeed impossible to kill them all, but now that I hear you say this, I have the confidence to do so. Li Chengqian said with a smile at Qin Huaidao.
"Well, I'm also curious, I said why didn't those officials of the family come to me this time, I thought that they would definitely come, but I didn't expect that a few days passed, and there was no movement at all,
It turns out that they are taking the route of the court, can this work? The thing that gave me the horse at the beginning has just passed, can it be done? Do you really think of me as a person who has no temper? The people who are poked out now are just small minions, and the people who really come up with ideas and plans are the people behind them! Qin Huaidao said to Li Chengqian with a smile.
"Well, he didn't come to me, it was my uncle who came to take care of me, but he also persuaded me, draw a line first, and then kill what should be killed!" Li Chengqian nodded and said to Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao smiled,
Soon, Li Chengqian left, he was going to act, as much as possible to keep some people who could be used by him,
And on Li Zhi's mansion, Li Zhi sat there for a long time without speaking, originally he had already won over some people from small families, but now, they have all defected to Li Chengqian's side,
Li Zhi was very helpless at the moment, he spent so much money, and in the end, he was lost, and he offended Qin Huaidao.
Li Zhi was sitting there at the moment and reflecting, reflecting on what he had done wrong and why he had come to this point.
"Your Highness, the officials we looked for before in the Ministry of Industry have all been arrested!" Lu Xian, the advisor next to Li Zhi, came over and said to Li Zhi worriedly.
"The king knows! You go down first! Li Zhi waved his hand at Lu Xian, he just sat there thinking,
He couldn't figure out why his relationship with Qin Huaidao was getting farther and farther away, he was the first to discover his talent, but Qin Huaidao didn't use it for himself, on the contrary, looking at this trend now, Qin Huaidao might fall to the prince's side,
Although Qin Huaidao has not made a clear statement, and the prince has not said that Qin Huaidao is his person, judging from the things that Qin Huaidao has done recently, they are all beneficial to Li Chengqian.
"Why is this happening?" Li Zhi stood up and walked back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back, he wanted to figure out what was wrong with this matter.
After a while, he still didn't figure it out, so he stopped, calling Lu Xian and Zhao Jiyuan, as well as Zhang Tianyu, these were all advisors around him.
"You are all sitting, there is one thing that this king has not been able to understand, you must have known before, the relationship between Hu Guogong and this king is very good, but recently, this king does not know what is not doing well, so that Hu Guogong is getting farther and farther away from me,
And Hu Guogong's ability, I think you also know, that is a talented person, this king has been trying to win him over, but he has not been able to succeed, everyone, help me analyze and analyze, why is this so? Li Zhi sat there, looking at the advisers and said.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, don't worry about this matter now, many of the ministers who supported His Highness before have been arrested and sent to Dali Temple, and they need to be rescued by His Highness, this is the key." Lu Xian heard it, stood up and said to Li Zhi, now that his eyebrows are burning, Li Zhi is still thinking about Qin Huaidao's matter.
"No, Hu Guogong's affairs are more important than these, those officials who were arrested, they either died, or they followed His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no second way!" Li Zhi sat there and said to them.
"This?" Lu Xian and the others listened and looked at each other.
"What is your impression of Hu Guogong?" Li Zhi then asked them.
"This, of course Hu Guogong has great ability, of course we know, but Hu Guogong is now estranged from Your Royal Highness, this is also a matter of no choice, in fact, it is reasonable to say that Hu Guogong cannot take refuge in any prince, he doesn't need it at all, just to say that he has a good impression of whom." Zhao Jiyuan sat there and said to Li Zhi.
"Favorable? Doesn't he have a crush on this king? Before this king, he was a brother in his house! Li Zhi stared at Zhao Jiyuan and said.
Zhao Jiyuan lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Zhi, thinking in his heart, who knows how you offended Qin Huaidao, and he didn't get involved.
"You can say anything, and this king still has the amount of tolerance for people. The king wants you to know everything and say everything. Li Zhi took a deep breath, looked at them and said.
And those ministers, no one spoke, they have been with Li Zhi for a few months, they know what Li Zhi is like, and what they say is very good, but when it comes to doing it, it is not like this.
"Why don't you dare to speak?" Li Zhi was suddenly frightened at this moment, the advisors around him didn't dare to speak, this was going to die.
The advisor is his own confidant, and his confidant doesn't dare to speak? That means that he really has something to do badly, at this moment Li Zhi stood up, hugged his fists at a few of them, bowed deeply, scared a few of them, and all stood up, this gift is big enough, so that they dare not bear it.
"This king knows, this king is still young, many things are immature, there may be some places that are not done well, so that you feel unhappy, today this king is here to apologize to them, this king is here to promise, never because of words to punish crimes, I hope the lord to assist this king!" Li Zhi clenched his fists and said to a few of them.
"Your Highness, don't you dare to say that, it's really that we are really not familiar with Hu Guogong, we just know that he is a great talent, but we don't know anything else about him." Lu Xian clenched his fists at Li Zhi and said.
"Well, yes, Pepin hasn't been to the house until now, and you don't seem to have spoken to him, so you really don't understand. Ay! Li Zhi nodded as he spoke, then retreated to his place and sat down.
"You know what? If this king has Peping's help, this king will be stable in that position, but Peping has always been estranged from this king, and this king is still thinking about whether this king is not good enough! Li Zhi sat there and said,
He didn't say anything about the profits from selling the paper mill, or about the black money on the paper mill, and he didn't say anything about other things.
"Yes, but, Your Highness, can you go to the Mansion of the Duke of Hu and talk to him thoroughly?" Lu Xian said to Li Zhi's suggestion,
For Qin Huaidao, they don't dare to be jealous, if Qin Huaidao can come to the Jin Palace, it will be a good thing for them.
"Well, I talked about it, and it was halfway several times, and Pepin didn't agree at all." Li Zhi said with a sigh.
"Your Highness, in fact, this time is also an opportunity for Your Highness, Your Highness can go to find Hu Guogong and see if Hu Guogong can help us save a few people, we are in the Ministry of Industry, there are about ten people, and now there are seven or eight people who have gotten closer to the prince, and the remaining five people, Your Highness can go to Hu Guogong's mansion and ask him for help." Zhao Jiyuan immediately suggested to Li Zhi,
When Li Zhi heard it, he didn't speak, Qin Huaidao had said before that after the matter of the paper factory, the situation ended here, and now, he didn't find the fundamental problem of this matter, and it was estimated that it would be useless to go to Qin Huaidao's mansion.
"Your Highness?" Zhao Jiyuan saw that Li Zhi didn't speak, so he shouted.
"Well, oh, hey, it's useless to go, Qin Huaidao is very cautious, and he won't help this king easily." Li Zhi reacted and said to Li Zhi.
"Your Highness, minister, I don't know if I should say a word or not!" Zhao Jiyuan thought about it for a while, gambled, now that he is on Li Zhi's ship, he can only go all the way to the end, if the ship sinks, his life will be over, and he can only find a way to improve the situation on Li Zhi's side.
