Chapter 145: The wrestling between the prime minister and the emperor
Ma Zhou didn't sleep all night, and finally found evidence in a few silk cloth shops that matched the clues.
The dark red silk thread is from the Cui family's shop.
It's just that in the Cui family's shop, all the recent sales have been concentrated in the palace, and the sales have not been completed to the outside world.
Even so, Ma Zhou still found out that something was wrong, and he used the method taught by Li Hui to find a problem in the accounts in a shop in the West Market.
It was also the problem of the accounts that made the shopkeeper tell the truth in an instant.
Several cloth business shops rely on orders from dignitaries and nobles to maintain their business, but recently, someone paid for a batch of goods, and the price was very expensive, and it was a steward of Cui Mingan's mansion who came forward that day.
Everything is stuck here, Cui Mingan is the prime minister, Ma Zhou has no right to move him, so he can only return to His Majesty and slowly say the conclusion he has reached.
"Then Cui Mingan will naturally be dealt with by General Hou Junji, you go and rest."
After a night, Cui Mingan felt that his body was about to be hollowed out, Hou Junji was strong and did not plan to leave, Cui Mingan sat with him, drowsy.
"General, the old man is going to rest."
"Don't worry, I heard that His Majesty already has evidence on his side, and Cui Zaifu won't wait anymore?"
Cui Mingan frowned, "What did the general say?" You have to let the old man know, right? ”
Cui Mingan and Hou Junji really played dumb riddles all night, no one said what was going on, Hou Junji didn't say anything, and Cui Mingan pretended not to know.
Hou Junji stretched his waist, "Hehe, since you asked, I will remind you that it is about a certain noble person in the Tang Dynasty." ”
Nobles, there are so many nobles in the Tang Dynasty, as soon as Hou Junji opened his mouth, Cui Mingan realized that this guy was deceiving people.
Obviously, Hou Junji's deception is not very clever, but his appearance of being a bamboo in his chest is quite scary.
After thinking about it for a long time, Cui Mingan sighed, this Hou Junji's temperament is like this, he can't hide any thoughts, but it's also the same, but he can't look at it with common sense.
It looks like a deceptive trick on Hou Junji, and it is very likely to be true.
Hou Junji smiled faintly: "Okay, since Cui Zaifu can't remember, then I'll remind you again......"
"No need, the old man has never had any contact with the nobles in the palace."
Hou Junji smiled coldly, a nobleman in the palace.
Hehe, and the windfall.
Evidence is a very crucial thing, if there is no evidence, even if Hou Junji hears Cui Mingan admit it personally, it will be useless.
Out of this door, Cui Mingan can deny it.
"Hehe, Cui Zaifu, I didn't say you must have a relationship."
At this time, the commander of Hou Junji's subordinates hurriedly came and whispered in Hou Junji's ear for a while, and in an instant, Hou Junji's face changed dramatically.
"Humph! Cui Zaifu, the evidence is there, it depends on how you explain to Your Majesty! ”
Cui Mingan smiled faintly, "Please General Hou Junji take care of himself, the old man needs to rest." ”
Now that the evidence is available, the next step is to make the Qinghe Cui clan and the Boling Cui clan pay the price.
As soon as Hou Junji left, Cui Mingan sighed, "Cui Da, how is the news in the palace?" ”
As Zaifu and the number one surname in the Tang Dynasty, Cui's has his own eyeliner everywhere.
Cui Da, as Cui Mingan's hand and eye, can naturally get a lot of information through eyeliner.
"Back to Xiangye, Your Majesty seems to be angry because Lotte Hou was assassinated."
Cui Mingan frowned, it turned out to be Li Hui, hehe.
That's simple, "Isn't the handle of the Taiyuan Wang clan in your hands, you have done a good job of Li Hui, but Li Hui's life is big." ”
"Let the Taiyuan Wang family take care of the aftermath."
Taking care of the aftermath is what it means to carry the pot, Cui Da immediately nodded and trotted out all the way.
Cui's attack on Li Hui was still because his interests were threatened.
After Li Hui became the marquis, there were often people in the Cui clan who complained that the charcoal business was not as good as day by day, and the glass business was even worse, and the soil ash industry when the house was built was also affected, and the most important thing was that the Cui family originally controlled all the profits of the Datang brewing industry, and anyone who wanted to sell alcohol in Datang had to hand over a dividend to the Cui family.
On the other hand, Princess Chao Yang is not alone, and the meaning of her existence is to control the dynamics in the palace for Cui Mingan at any time.
Yang is a widow, and his husband Li Yuanji is the one who wants to put Li Shimin to death, and it is impossible to favor Yang after His Majesty ascends the throne now.
At the beginning of the court, Cui Mingan and others took advantage of the momentum of the court to make Li Er compromise, save Yang's life, and give him the title of concubine.
This made Li Er very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
But everything has changed because of that Lotte Hou.
Princess Yang is like duckweed in the wind, seemingly rootless, but in fact has an intimate connection with this wind.
Now that this duckweed is gone, Cui's most appropriate ear in the palace is gone, so he naturally wants to attack Li Hui.
Of course, the most critical reason is not interests, nor the death of Princess Yang of Chao, but the appearance of Li Hui, the heirloom of the marquis, which means that His Majesty will no longer be easily crowned as a marquis, and the career of those young people of the Cui family has been sealed in disguise. And recently, His Majesty has frequently come up with methods, and it seems that he has the idea of suppressing the Shandong Shi clan, Cui Mingan did not take action personally, but let other people in the Cui clan do it, assassinate Li Hui, and the antique court slandered Li Hui, just to divert His Majesty's attention.
suffered failures on Li Hui one after another, and Cui Mingan was a little displeased.
Now that the evidence has appeared, it must be the assassination of bad people who have been exposed, so it is better to push out the Taiyuan Wang family, who has always wanted to submit to His Majesty.
Cui Mingan smiled faintly, "Hehe, Your Majesty, it depends on whether you are ruthless or not, Taiyuan Wang's family, Taiyuan Li family, brotherhood." ”
The tug-of-war between the prime minister and the emperor, this time, Cui Mingan took the lead again.
Wang Zhuozhuo is now like a hegemon, the Hou Mansion has become her back garden, she walks all the way to see all the way, if she doesn't like anything, she asks the maid to replace it, and if she sees something unsatisfactory, she lets the people in the mansion change it.
Li Hui's face darkened, these maids and servants are doing a good job, why do you care so wide.
But don't say it, this lady really seems to have a set, and in less than a day, the servants and maids at home were convinced, and the whole order was much better than before.
The bottom line is that everyone has no complaints.
This operation stunned Li Hui.
The only ones who are not convinced are Li Ruoyun and Li Ruoyu, two little girls.
"Li Ruoyun, don't you two like the master?" Li Tai asked.
Li Chengqian pinched Li Tai's arm on the side.
He's not stupid, he's seen it a long time ago, but he doesn't say it.
Li Tai, why can't you control your mouth?
