(Finally the code is over.,I finally have the face to ask you for a monthly ticket and a recommended ticket.,Although it's hopeless to be on the list.,But I still don't want to give up.,In addition, thank you very much for those who left messages to support and vote for Lao Bing.,Thank you!) ）

In just three days, the original several major gangs of the Xishi Wharf were all wiped out, and in the eyes of the discerning people, the Red Flower Society that unified the Xishi Wharf obviously had a strong backer behind it, otherwise, a big family like the Sima family would sit back and watch their gang be wiped out without saying a word.

In the palace, Li Ang followed the chamberlain into the imperial study, and after the chamberlain retreated, Cao Anmin looked at Li Ang, "The old fox of the Sima family has just returned from me and expressed his loyalty to me, and the one you let go of is called Sima Bin, who was expelled from Sima's house by him." ”

"Expelled from the Sima family. Li Ang frowned, and then he was relieved, the Sima family's style of behavior has always been like this, there is nothing strange, but he is very curious about the reason used by the Sima family to expel Sima Bin.

Cao Anmin seemed to know what Li Ang was thinking, smiled and said, "The old fox told me that the Sima family has a great cause, and it is inevitable that there will be a few things like corrupting the door, and he will strictly discipline him in the future, and there will never be that kind of unfilial descendant again." ”

"At the end, he said a bunch of brave and loyal things to me, and wanted to get a word from me. Cao Anmin shook his head and said, "He underestimated me too much." ”

"Your Majesty is wise. "Li Ang is not a rigid person, when to say something, he has always been very clear, just like what he says now will never disgust Cao Anmin, who doesn't like to listen to flattery.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about how much gold baht can be in Xishi Wharf every year. Cao Anmin looked at Li Ang, although he was the emperor, the money in the inner treasury could not be used at will, and most importantly, the inner treasury could be used. It is inevitable that someone with a heart will find out what the money is used for, and he needs a secret income. Can be used by him at his disposal.

"According to the accounts copied from those gangs, it is roughly estimated that the value of the goods handled at the Xishi Wharf every year is about 200 million gold baht, and those gangs can make almost 3 million gold baht of profits every year, of course, these are only on the surface, in fact, there are 3 million gold baht flowing into several big families. Leon thought of the copied accounts and responded.

"That said. We receive six million gold baht a year. Cao Anmin listened to Li Ang's words and calculated.

"More than six million gold baht, Your Majesty. Li Ang looked at Cao Anmin and continued, "The price of the warehouse at the Xishi Wharf was very low by those merchants, and according to the minister's intentions, there is at least a difference of at least five million gold baht. ”

"That's 11 million baht. Cao Anmin said to himself that he was surprised by the amount of gold baht that could be obtained at the Xishi Wharf.

"This money is inside. I will take seven million, and give you the rest, and I will send someone to take care of the accounts. Cao Anmin groaned slightly, and then set the amount to be taken, as a family, there are too many places to use money. With Leon's foundation, there is no windfall, let alone flowers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Li Ang said to Cao Anmin, he helped Cao Anmin cut off the gang at the dock, he was interested in the gold baht that could be earned there every year, and now that Cao Anmin is so generous, he will naturally not refuse.

"Now that you've taken the West Market Docks, I guess there are a lot of eyes on you, wondering what I'm going to do. Cao Anmin laughed, it was much better for him to let Li Ang secretly come forward to take the Xishi Wharf than for him to send troops to recover the Xishi Wharf. Those families can have their own gangs. He, the emperor, can do the same, everyone is in the dark. It's just that he can bully others, but he can't make those families attack.

"Fifteen is almost here, and they must never have imagined that I would give them a good show. Thinking of the ancestral hall meeting in three days, Cao Anmin had some expectations in his eyes, he really couldn't wait to see how the old people who had mastered Great Qin for thirty years would react at that time, I don't know if they would be angry, and what would the young Zhuang faction of the family that could take advantage of it to take power look like.

Li Ang looked at Cao Anmin and laughed, now his people are in those newly accepted gangs, it is estimated that no one expected Cao Anmin to call his people in the end, and the expressions of those old people must be very wonderful at that time.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing to do, the minister will retire first. Li Ang resigned, and he had to make some preparations for the big drama three days later.

"There you go!" Cao Anmin nodded, but when Li Ang walked to the door, he suddenly called out to Li Ang again, "I decided to make you the prince's teacher, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty wants the minister to be the prince's teacher?" Li Ang looked at Cao Anmin with some surprise, and then he saw a glimmer of expectation in the eyes of this man who had become the emperor, and he knew that Cao Anmin hoped that he could stay in Chang'an, instead of going to the border after three years and never returning to Chang'an.

"I know that you don't like those intrigues, and I won't break the promise given to you by the first emperor, I just hope that in the past three years, you can come to the palace more often, after all, you are my only friend. Cao Anmin looked at Li Ang and said in a deep voice, when his father Emperor Wen promised Li Ang to go to the border, he used to be a little unaware of his father's intentions, but then he figured it out, his father had a few friends when he was young, but in the end, those who have been by his side, like the chief and the big Sima, have unconsciously become subordinates and confidants, and can no longer be called friends, and it is Xiahou Tang in the past who his father will never forget until he dies.

Cao Anmin knew that if he always wanted to retain a friendship in his heart, it would be better to let Li Ang leave Chang'an after three years, otherwise, he and Li Ang would sooner or later be like his father and chief minister, leaving only the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

"The minister is willing to be the prince's teacher. Li Ang agreed, no matter what Cao Anmin thought in his heart, at least as the emperor, he couldn't refrain from saying this to him, and he seemed to really have a relationship with the three-year-old prince.

"Your Majesty, if the minister is the prince's teacher, there is no need to add the title of the prince. After agreeing, Li Ang said to Cao Anmin. He is afraid of trouble, and when the time comes, Cao Anmin will really give him the title of Taifudi, and there will be many people in those families who are jealous and will have many things.

"I know. Cao Anmin laughed, did not leave Li Ang any longer, but watched him leave.

For the old people in the ancestral hall, the incident at the West Market Wharf made them a little confused about Cao Anmin's actions. It can be said that after Cao Anmin ascended the throne, in addition to the beginning of the vigorous and resolute use of many young people. There is no movement anymore, for them, Cao Anmin's arrangement of manpower in some key official offices is not too much, although they are all small positions with great power, but compared with the power in their hands, Cao Anmin, as the emperor, is still a lot worse.

But right now, Cao Anmin is close to the ministers, and Li Ang, who was suddenly promoted to the general of Zhengxi, suddenly cleared the gang at the wharf of the West Market. And privately sent someone to take over the entire dock, which made them feel very weird, but for the old people of the ancestral hall, the most important thing at the moment is the issue of the selection of the elders of the clan, you must know that although the clan usually stands on the side of the emperor, the general direction has always been in step with the major families, and now the young new emperor has made them see a threat, a threat of change. They are already old, and they don't live long, they just hope that in their last days, the country will be peaceful, and if they want to fight, they can just fight with the crippled Turks in the steppe or something.

As for the new emperor. If they want to go west again and completely cripple Rome and Persia again, they don't approve from the bottom of their hearts, not to mention the land and military expenses needed to expand the legion, after all, there are businessmen who are willing to pay, and the most unacceptable thing for them is that once they fight with a big country like Persia and Rome, although the national strength of Daqin is enough to deal with it, but when the time comes, the young children of the major families don't know how much they will die, and they don't want to watch the juniors in their families die on the battlefield. People are old. I don't have the sharpness I had when I was young, and I think more about the life of the whole family. With the current state of Great Qin, which country would really dare to offend.

This is what the old people of the ancestral hall party think, they enjoy the hegemony that their ancestors fought with blood, immersed in the unbreakable imagination of hegemony, and never thought that the re-emerging Rome, those ambitious monarchs of Persia will really dare to challenge Great Qin because of the military power of Great Qin in the past. They did not understand that what they were doing was tantamount to encouraging Rome and Persia to wage war against Great Qin, and that the strong were formidable and relied on strength, not glory.

On September 15, in the main hall where the Imperial City Sect is located, the elders of the Ancestral Hall Party gathered together to witness the ancestral hall elders of the seventh generation of the Great Qin Clan.

In the main hall, Cao Anmin sat on the main seat at the top, looked at the old people in the hall, closed his eyes, he knew that as long as he let these old people give up the authority in their hands, the Great Qin Empire, which had been silent for a long time, would wake up from thirty years of sleep and re-show the fangs that made the world fear.

Unconsciously, Cao Anmin couldn't help clenching his fists, he gave Li Ang a command to enter the imperial city, but outside the main hall where he was, there were those henchmen of the family brought by the old man, these people couldn't let them get away, otherwise, it would make things troublesome.

Stabilized his mind, Cao Anmin opened his eyes, he believed in Li Ang, and believed in himself even more, after today, the country will return to the glorious tradition according to his will, Daqin does not need insecure wealth (thinking of the richest two Song Dynasty in Chinese history, Lao Bing almost wants to vomit blood), Daqin only needs hegemony, yes, as long as there is hegemony, Daqin can grab wealth from other countries. (For those who talk about benevolence and righteousness, Lao Bing doesn't want to say anything else, but please look at the current United States, the country that advertises democracy and human rights, and does things all over the world, in fact, good people in charge of the country only have to consider national interests, the so-called benevolence and righteousness are just layers of fig leaf, I will let Li Ang properly use hypocritical benevolence to serve the interests of the country, but not agree with the so-called benevolence, this is Lao Bing's personal opinion, which will never change, and finally reiterate that this is just, it is impossible to ruin the image of the Chinese people, The worried people are too worried. ）

Looking at the elders of the ancestral halls of the major families who were arguing fiercely over the candidates, Cao Anmin suddenly felt a little sad, how good it would be if these old people could have such enthusiasm in foreign wars, with their experience, they could help him solve a lot of problems, but they were... Cao Anmin shook his head, Daqin is not without the ability to wage a big war with the outside world, the treasury is piled up with mountains of gold baht, in order to stabilize the price of rice, the big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River even poured the whole ship of rice produced in the South Seas into the sea, Daqin has accumulated the strength for thirty years to vent, otherwise, will it really let Daqin fall in erosion and abundance, and the soldiers will go to the grave in peace.

Outside the imperial city, Li Ang took five hundred parts, wearing the military uniform of Yu Linwei, and passed through one palace gate after another, he didn't like infighting, but sometimes, he had to make difficult choices, for him as a soldier, the interests of the country are always above all else, and personal honor and disgrace can be left behind. After this incident, I am afraid that he will become an enemy in the eyes of the major families, after all, what he has done has never been done by anyone in the past hundred and fifty years, not even anyone who has thought about it.

In front of the last palace gate, Li Ang stopped his team, and in front of him were the henchmen brought by the elders of the ancestral hall, they would not let them enter the hall smoothly, of course, he could not let these people go back to report the news.

"Bobo, you take your people to guard the exit, if anyone escapes, try to capture them alive, if they can't do it, kill them. "Leon instructed Helian Bobo and Er Zhurong, who were the most murderous under his command, that what they were doing now was a coup d'état, and that nothing could go wrong.

"Yan Zong, Cunzhi, you take someone to take a look at the situation first. Li Ang looked at Li Yanzong and Li Cunzhi and sent scouts.

"It's up to you later. After Li Yanzong and Li Cunzhi left with the people, Li Ang looked at Dugu Xiao and those who were born in the rivers and lakes, for today, he has made them deploy a lot of **, if he wants to minimize casualties or even complete the coup d'état without blood, he has to use this means that cannot be put on the table.

"Rest assured, Lord, that humility will not disappoint you. "Dugu Xiao is playing a package ticket,** Although this thing is shameful, it is very effective, especially among the dart players recruited from the south by his hand before, there are many blower archery masters, with quenched arrows with anesthetic, if you plot people, it is the most suitable.

Li Ang nodded, although Dugu Xiao was born in the rivers and lakes, but after the repeated battles in the desert, all the rivers and lakes in his body have been worn out, if he is not completely sure, he will not tell him like this.

'Now it's up to Zong Yan and Cunzhi to them. Leon looked at the palace in the distance, and if he could find out what was going on there, he would be more sure and would reduce the needless bloodshed.
