Chapter 7: Watching the Ceremony Together
A group of officials led by Zhao Kang roared over, and it was Zhao Kang who shouted to stop.
Li Feng glanced at Zhao Kang coldly: "Leave him alone, go on!" ”
The left and right guards worked together, and Lu Guanyan's regular clothes were torn off, revealing the underwear inside.
Zhao Kang's face turned pale, and he ran to the palace: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zhao Kang pointed to the robe that was torn to the ground: "Lord Lu has been performing his duties in Youzhou for nearly forty years, and he has always been conscientious and conscientious, so why did he end up undressing in front of the palace for no reason today?" ”
"Your Highness's move is inappropriate, isn't it?"
Zhao Kang suffered a big loss in the palace yesterday, not only lost Liu Ji's help, but even Lu Lin was burned to death.
If he doesn't come forward today, then his assassin will really lose face!
He's here today to do two things.
First, save Lu Guanyan.
Second, let Li Feng lose face.
If he doesn't succeed this time, not only will he no longer be able to win the trust of the ministers of Youzhou, but even Li Feng will probably despise him a little.
Facing Zhao Kang's questioning, Li Feng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Zhao Kang, that's how you assassinated history?" ”
"Although this king has lost power, he is still the king of a domain, and you dare to stand and talk to this king without being called to force your way into the Cheng'en Palace?"
Li Feng patted the jade case with his hand, his face was like sinking water, staring at the ministers in front of him.
Suddenly, an awe-inspiring murderous aura swept through the hall, and several elderly Wenchen had already knelt directly on the ground.
Zhao Kang's face was pale, and he still wanted to speak. But was stopped by Li Feng: "Zhao Tingshi, kneel down and reply!" ”
"Your Highness, you ......"
"I'll get you on your knees!"
The murderous aura on the Cheng'en Hall was revealed, and Zhao Kang's face turned from blue to red, but in the end, he still knelt on the ground: "Zhao Kang, the assassin of Youzhou, meet Wang Jia Chitose!" ”
"Get up and talk back."
"Xie Chitose!"
Zhao Kang got up, his face sinking like water: "Dare to ask Your Highness, why did you humiliate Lord Lu in public?" ”
As soon as Zhao Kang said this, the ministers standing behind him responded one after another.
Li Feng had already seen that Zhao Kang wanted to use Lu Guanyan's matter to put pressure on him.
If he is still the dumb prince, then the two sides can naturally live in peace.
It's a pity that what he Li Feng hates most in his life is being at the mercy of others.
Looking at the discussant ministers, Li Feng said coldly: "Everyone, if you have something to say, you don't have to discuss it in private!" ”
"Back to Your Highness, the lower officials think that what you did is really inappropriate, and you should make amends to Lord Lu!"
Li Feng smiled and looked at the official dressed in a white pheasant: "Your Excellency's official residence, any position?" ”
"Xiaguan Youzhou Salt Transport Deputy Envoy Li Guangyuan ......"
Before Li Guangyuan's words fell, Li Feng directly interrupted him: "A person from the fifth grade dares to be arrogant in front of this king, and you are also worthy!" ”
Although Li Guangyuan is only a five-grade official, the power in his hands is not small.
Looking at Youzhou, even Zhao Kang had to be in awe of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he was suddenly insulted today.
"Look at you, roe deer, obscene appearance, only scolded by this king and can't even speak, I think you, the deputy envoy of salt transport, grew up eating!"
Li Feng insulted Li Guangyuan like a cannon, Li Guangyuan was so angry that his face turned red, and he pointed at Li Feng and said: "Your Highness's words are so vulgar, it is really a loss of national body, I want to write a book, and you insult the minister!" ”
Seeing that Li Guangyuan dared to point at himself, Li Feng's face sank: "You dare to point your finger at this king?" ”
"Someone, escort Li Guangyuan out of the hall and show it to the public with his severed hand!"
Li Feng gave an order, and immediately a guard entered the hall to get people.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Kang's face became even more gloomy, he took a step forward, and arched his hand: "Your Highness, Lord Li is a scholar after all, and it is normal for him to have an upright temperament, and I hope that His Highness will take back his life and let Master Li go!" ”
"If you dare to offend this king just by saying that you are upright, then does this king of the Cheng'en Hall have to let him sit down?"
Zhao Kang's face was even more gloomy, but he didn't dare to attack at all: "Your Highness is serious, and Lord Li is also a colleague, so he lost his temper and had no intention of colliding!" ”
As soon as Zhao Kang's words fell, all the officials beside him also knelt down one after another: "I implore Your Highness to take back your order!" ”
Li Guangyuan had been dragged to the front of the palace at this time, and Zhao Kang also slowly raised his head: "All my colleagues are interested in asking for each other, if Your Highness should not, I am afraid that it will chill everyone's hearts!" ”
"Zhao Kang, are you threatening this king?"
"The lower officials don't dare!"
"Don't dare? How dare you! ”
Li Feng stepped down from the throne and came to Zhao Kang.
His eyes were full of murderous intent, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Kang's soul.
Zhao Kang has lived in the capital for many years, and has seen many dignitaries, even if it is a palace test in person, in the face of the monarch of the dynasty, he also answers fluently, without the slightest timidity.
But today, he was shocked by Li Feng's eyes.
This look is like a fierce beast, just looking at it, it makes people feel frightened.
It was this look that strengthened the thought in Zhao Kang's heart: "This thousand years old can't stay!" ”
He relied on the prestige of his father Zhao Yan in the court, which was able to control the entire civil service system in Youzhou in just a few years.
Daqian has not fought for many years, and now he has long developed the tradition of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force.
As long as the civil official system is controlled, then this ghost king is destined to become a puppet!
"Zhao Kang, what are you thinking?"
"Xia Guan is thinking about how to raise funds to rebuild the palace for His Highness!"
"Oh? Let's talk about it! ”
Now that many places have been affected by disasters and local treasury is scarce, although Li Feng has squeezed out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Liu Ji, he is still overstretched in the face of the current predicament.
If Zhao Kang can put forward conditions that are enough to make him excited, then Li Feng doesn't mind selling his personal favor.
"Lord Li is in charge of salt transportation, and he can raise silver taels from the salt merchants in Youzhou, after all, the salt merchants want to cooperate with the imperial court, and they will not refuse this proposal!"
"But if Li Guangyuan is abolished, this king can also let others raise money!"
"Lord Li's position as the deputy envoy of the salt transport is appointed by His Majesty, and there is an order in this dynasty that the vassal kings of various places are not allowed to send troops privately, and they are not allowed to get involved in the salt transport, if Lord Li is abolished, I am afraid that the salt merchants of Youzhou will not recognize you as a prince!"
As he spoke, Zhao Kang glanced at Li Feng again.
"In addition to the imperial court, these salt merchants and the Cao gang are also very close, Your Highness must not act impulsively, so as not to affect the whole body!"
This may seem like a reminder, but it is actually a threat.
Once Li Feng makes a move, what awaits him will be the paralysis of the entire salt transportation system.
He knew that Youzhou's forces were intertwined, but he didn't want there to be so many joints in it.
Li Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes showed a cold light.
Zhao Kang did not dodge or dodge, and looked at him.
In his previous life, Li Feng was the top special soldier in Huaguo, and within this distance, he could kill Zhao Kang in just one second.
But in this way, the entire management system of Youzhou will also collapse.
And after all, Zhao Kang is a three-grade assassin history, even if he wants to kill him, he has to be famous.
Thinking of this, Ji Feng opened his mouth and said: "Exempt Li Guangyuan from the punishment of cutting off his hand......"
As soon as a hint of joy flashed in Zhao Kang's eyes, he heard Li Feng say again: "Change to eighty rods, and this king wants to watch the ceremony with all the adults!" ”
