Chapter 496: Officialdom is in turmoil
()
The court was already very quiet, so even if the official's voice was already very small, when he read out these twelve words, more than half of the officials in the court still heard it.
Suddenly, there was an uproar.
"How can such a thing happen?"
"I never thought that someone would be so bold as to threaten His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"No, I think he's threatening the Holy ......"
When everyone was talking, Lu Zhi's face suddenly moved, and he also stood up and arched towards Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, although it is rumored that the Fanyang Salt Farm was established by our Lu family and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in fact, our Lu family only accounts for 20% of the salt farm, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accounts for 80%, except for a few people, no one else knows about this matter!"
Speaking of this, Lu Zhi immediately bowed to Li Shimin, and then retreated.
Although Lu Zhi's words were only a few short sentences, the meaning in them made many people's faces change, and even Li Shimin's face showed a trace of anger.
It's not pretended this time.
According to Li Shimin's previous judgment, if the other party's target is Fanyang Salt Farm, then why not choose a clever hard stubble instead of the Lu family? This is clearly unreasonable.
But now listening to Lu Zhi's words, Gao Ming accounts for eighty percent of Fanyang Salt Farm, he is the real principal, and if the other party wants to move against Fanyang Salt Farm, it obviously makes sense to take Gao Ming's knife.
And according to what Lu Zhi said, the matter of Fanyang Salt Farm, whether it is the Lu family or Gao Ming, it is impossible to publicize it everywhere, but the other party directly targets Gao Ming, so there is only one explanation!
The other party has eyes and ears in the Lu family, so he knows who is the real person in Fanyang Salt Farm!
You must know that the Lu family is a big family with five surnames, and if they can have eyes and ears in such a big family, and they can find out such secret news, then it only means one thing, that is, the other party also belongs to the big family with five surnames!
Over the years, the five surnames have intermarried with each other, in addition to strengthening the tie, they have also arranged a lot of eyes and ears in each other's families, so some important news cannot be hidden.
And since the Fan Yang Lu family and the Taiyuan Wang family took refuge in Gaoming, they have been vaguely alienated by the other five families, and the ears and eyes of the two of them arranged in other families have gradually been isolated.
In fact, the Lu family and the Wang family did the same, but it was hard to guarantee that there would be fish that would slip through the net and bring out important news in their own family.
Lu Zhi was very unhappy about this, so he didn't mind taking advantage of this meeting to stab these former allies.
He succeeded, and at this moment Li Shimin has entered a berserk state!
"Spread my will, order the left and right thousand cavalry guards to immediately go out, block all the salt fields and salt lakes except for the Fanyang salt field, and bring the principals to the capital for interrogation, Shangguanyi!"
Hearing Li Shimin call himself, Shangguan Yi immediately stood up and hugged his fist towards Li Shimin.
"Wechen is here!"
"I ordered you to personally preside over this time, if you can't find out the matter clearly, you don't have to do it, you don't have to do it, go home and farm!"
Looking at Li Shimin's stern appearance, Shangguan Yi immediately bowed solemnly to him.
"Yes, Weichen obeys!"
After giving instructions to Shangguanyi, Li Shimin once again glared at the circle with red eyes, like a fierce beast that chooses people and devours them, and all the officials he came into contact with lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at him.
Looking at the officials with their heads down, Li Shimin snorted heavily.
"Humph! No matter who is involved in this matter, I will never tolerate it, anyone who dares to obstruct this matter, behead! ”
After saying this, Gao Ming suddenly waved his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the court directly, and when he saw this scene, Liu Bing, who was following behind Li Shimin, immediately shouted.
"Retreat!"
Although Li Shimin left, the ministers did not dare to be sloppy, and still shouted as usual.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
After shouting the slogan, it is time to clock out.
But this time, the officials did not have the same kind of conversation and laughter as before, and after the next court, many officials immediately left in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to greet others.
Almost all of these officials were children of the family, and after they returned, they immediately sent someone to inform the family and let the other party prepare for this upcoming "big storm".
At noon that day, at least a dozen fast horses drove out of Chang'an.
And the Qiancaiwei was not idle, and after receiving Li Shimin's holy decree, Su Gan Chengji immediately gathered his subordinates.
"Ladies and gentlemen, those who are ministers, the king is worried about the ministers, and the king humiliates the ministers to death, this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suffered this great disaster, if we can't give this bad breath for His Royal Highness the Prince, how can we be worthy of our official uniforms and monthly salaries?"
After hearing Su Gan Chengji's words, several thousand cavalry guards under him immediately stood up.
"The commander is right, this time he must give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this bad breath!"
"Damn! These families really don't take His Highness seriously, and they actually do such a rebellious thing! ”
"This time, arrest those who dare to come out to His Highness, and let them know how powerful we are!"
Looking at the angry look of the crowd, Su Gan Chengji suddenly nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, that's right, this time I'm on order, so everyone should be bolder, go ahead, don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince down."
"Yes!"
With the order of Su Gan Chengji, 20,000 left cavalry guards immediately set off, and for a while, the horses neighed, and the smoke and dust rolled!
On the right cavalry guard's side, after receiving the holy decree, Zhang Sizheng was also arranging work for his subordinates.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our purpose this time is to block the salt lakes in the area of Zhao County and Longzhou, and bring the principal to Chang'an, there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to, that is, when you are acting, don't be too presumptuous, let alone be caught by the other party to attack His Royal Highness the Prince, you know?"
Zhang Sizheng knows what happened, so he is not as meritorious as Su Ganchengji, what he has to do is to try to avoid extraneous branches.
And several of the people under him knew the truth, so they nodded immediately.
"Commander, my subordinates understand!"
Seeing that the subordinate understood, Zhang Sizheng immediately nodded.
"Now that you know, let's go!"
"Yes!"
Following the left cavalry, more than 20,000 men of the right cavalry also set out.
However, unlike the full dispatch of Su Gan Chengji, Zhang Sizheng only dispatched eighty percent of the people, and the remaining twenty percent were sent by him to Chang'an City, patrolling the streets with Jin Wuwei, and posing as a posture to track down the real murderer.
And the officials also know that the cavalry guard is Gao Ming's direct subordinate force, and if Gao Ming has an accident this time, the cavalry guard will definitely make a big move.
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere of officialdom suddenly became tense, and in order to be misunderstood by the cavalry guards anyway, everyone was very careful in speaking and doing things, for fear of "stepping on thunder" if they were not careful.
And just when the officialdom of Chang'an began to be turbulent, Gao Ming, the "culprit", also woke up.
