Chapter 171: The Zhao family makes a move
Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu was stunned for a moment, and then became furious.
"Bastard! is so bold and reckless, he simply doesn't take my Li royal family in his eyes! Eight great families, I swear, in my lifetime, I will slaughter all the people! ”
"The knife of the East Factory has not drunk blood for a long time, and the old slave is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" Gao Dali said with a cold expression.
"There's a time for you to make a move."
Emperor Qianwu nodded, his body burst out with the power of dominating the world, and said coldly: "Since the Zhao family is so bold and reckless, I can't blindly forbear, I must let them know the fate of angering me!" ”
……
The other side.
An elder of the Zhao family also learned about the burning of several industries in the capital, and after liquidation, the loss reached an astonishing 300,000 taels, and he was immediately furious.
"Little brute, such a big dog, do you really think that he is a royal family and can do whatever he wants? Royalty is a fart! My Eight Great Families want them to sit in this world, so that they can sit firmly! ”
After a few angry reprimands, Elder Zhao Zhijing said coldly to his subordinates: "Send the news to the people of Luohua Palace, let them hurry up and make that little beast, so that the world can know that my Zhao family is majestic!" ”
The subordinate nodded and said, "The slave obeys!" ”
Then he changed his words and said: "Elder, there is one more thing, the other industries that have not yet been affected in the capital have been investigated by the people of the Six Gates and the East Factory today, either openly or covertly. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Zhijing gritted his teeth and said, "Emperor Qianwu, you bastard, you dare to blatantly attack my Zhao family?" Don't you want to be the emperor? ”
He cursed again.
After he scolded for a while, his subordinates cautiously asked, "Elder, I don't know how to deal with it at this time?" ”
At this time, Zhao Zhijing's anger gradually subsided, and he regained some calm, understanding that it must be Emperor Qianwu who knew that it was their Zhao family who wanted to assassinate Li Changfeng, and then responded.
The union of the eight great families can indeed cause huge pressure on the royal family, but it is difficult for the Zhao family alone to do it, in case they annoy the royal family and fight to the death with them, it will be worth the loss.
Zhao Zhijing pondered for a moment, slammed his fist on the desk, and said unwillingly: "Stop assassinating Li Changfeng's little beast for the time being, as for the property that was investigated, let the dog emperor go to investigate, forgive him and dare not move again!" ”
"The slave knows."
"Alright, you go down!"
After his subordinates retreated, Zhao Zhijing smiled coldly and said: "Emperor Qianwu, little beast, if you don't give you some color, can I really be bullied if my Zhao family is weak?" ”
After speaking, Zhao Zhijing picked up a pen and paper and wrote letters to the officials of the DPRK and China who were secretly controlled or supported by the Zhao family.
He wanted to ask these ministers to impeach Li Changfeng tomorrow morning, and force Emperor Qianwu to personally punish him.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Changfeng's so-called pursuit of assassins is just an excuse.
Here, Lord Song, the secretary of the Criminal Department, looked at Zhao Zhijing's letter, sighed again and again, and his face was full of bitterness.
He was able to sit in the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, in addition to his own talent, he was also inseparable from the support of the Zhao family.
It can even be said that without the Zhao family, there would be no status above the court today.
The Zhao family not only has the grace of cultivating him, but also holds the evidence that he has accepted a large amount of property from the Zhao family.
Now Zhao Zhijing has sent a letter asking him to impeach Li Changfeng tomorrow in the court, which has put him in a dilemma.
How much Emperor Qianwu favors Li Changfeng now, doesn't he know that impeaching Li Changfeng is not self-inflicted?
And from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to impeach Li Changfeng.
In his opinion, Li Changfeng's actions since returning to Beijing are extremely rare talents for the cadres.
He hopes that the big work will be good.
As for why the Zhao family suddenly made a move on Li Changfeng, he has many years of experience in investigating cases in the Criminal Department, and he is like a mirror in his heart.
It is nothing more than that Li Changfeng's industry affected the interests of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family sent someone to assassinate Li Changfeng and failed, and Li Changfeng retaliated after learning the reason.
The logical chain is clear.
Although he didn't want to, he couldn't do it.
Zhao Zhijing, who did not obey the arrangement, was not as simple as not being able to do the post of secretary of the Criminal Department, and he would definitely kill him with the consistent methods of the Zhao family.
The impeachment of Li Changfeng is not, after all, Li Changfeng's move is too reckless and does leave a handle, he presses him with righteousness, and Emperor Qianwu can't say anything.
After all, as an emperor, if he doesn't abide by the law of Daqian, who else will take the law of Daqian in his eyes?
In addition to worrying about this matter, he was more worried that this was a signal that the eight great families and the royal family were at war.
If this is the case, then the situation of an important minister like him will be very dangerous, and there is a possibility of death at any time.
No matter which side he is on, the other side will find a way to get rid of him.
After hesitating for a long time, Song Dexin sighed, and finally chose to stand on the side of the Eight Great Families.
In addition to Song Dexin, other ministers of the DPRK and China also received Zhao Zhijing's letter, and a storm against Li Changfeng was brewing.
Li Changfeng didn't know anything about this.
At this time, he was sitting leisurely in the mansion on a chair eating snacks and listening to orders.
Father-in-law Zhang, who came to deliver the holy decree, acted as if he hadn't seen anything, ignored Li Changfeng's rude behavior, and recited the holy decree by himself.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: The Nine Emperor Prince Li Changfeng will be on time tomorrow, and there must be no mistakes! Chin this! ”
"Okay, this prince knows." Li Changfeng beckoned to Gonggong Zhang, "Lao Zhang, it's hard for you to go back to the palace, here are some good dim sum from Dude, come and taste it." ”
"How dare the old slave?" Father-in-law Zhang hurriedly shook his head.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, where are there so many rules? Sit down, do you want this prince to invite you personally? Li Changfeng said with a big grin.
"In this case, the old slave has the courage to sit with His Highness!" Gonggong Zhang bowed down and sat down opposite Li Changfeng.
"That's right." Li Changfeng laughed, pushed the dim sum towards Gonggong Zhang, and handed over a stack of silver tickets, "Seeing that it's cold, take it and buy a few clothes." ”
"The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave that His Highness gave him a few times before hasn't been spent yet!" Father-in-law Zhang hurriedly shook his head.
"Lao Zhang, why are you still so outside? This prince has always been like this to his friends, don't you know? Quickly accept it, don't let this prince say anything about the reward, it will be a little out-of-the-box. Li Changfeng urged with a smile.
"That'...... The old slave had the courage to take it. Father-in-law Zhang arched his hand and accepted the silver ticket, cheering in his heart.
Now his favorite thing is to come to Li Changfeng to deliver the decree, Li Changfeng not only does not have the slightest arrogance, treats him as a friend, but also rewards him with a lot of silver every time.
To meet such a master is a blessing that he has cultivated in three lifetimes.
After maintaining a relationship with Gonggong Zhang for so long, Li Changfeng stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "Lao Zhang, do you know why my father suddenly let this prince go to the early dynasty?" ”
Father-in-law Zhang, who took the benefits, naturally did not hide it, looked left and right and saw that no one was present, and then looked at the closed doors and windows, so he lowered his voice and said: "I don't know what the specific reason is, the old slave is not clear, but I heard that His Majesty made a big fire in the imperial study this morning, and Father-in-law Gao arranged for a large number of Dongchang masters to go out, and it is said that he is investigating the Zhao family of the Eight Great Families, and it is estimated that it has something to do with this matter!" ”
Li Changfeng burned such a big thing as the Zhao family's industry at night, he naturally heard the rumors, and he already had some guesses in his heart.
However, it is difficult for Li Changfeng to say this kind of thing if he doesn't mention it, he believes that when he mentions it, as a party to this incident, Li Changfeng will have his own judgment.
"Okay, this prince knows, Lao Zhang is interesting enough." Li Changfeng laughed.
"Your Highness must prepare in advance!" Father-in-law Zhang hesitated for a moment and reminded.
"This prince has a plan in mind, come and try this pastry."
Although Grandpa Zhang's words were not much, they were very informative, which was enough for him to have a correct judgment on this matter.
At this juncture, it must be because of what he did last night.
Emperor Qianwu was furious, but he did not send a decree announcing that he would enter the palace to reprimand, obviously knowing what was going on, and he was angry with the Eight Great Families.
Let him go to the court tomorrow, it must be that Emperor Qianwu expected that the Zhao family would use his strength to make trouble above the court, and let him personally go to the court to defend himself.
Of course, it is also possible that he will be punished in the court.
All this was expected by him.
At the same time, Li Changfeng's burning of the Zhao family's industry continued to expand as time passed.
When Li Chengye learned the news, he was shocked.
"Li Changfeng actually dared to make a move against the eight great families, this is something that his father and emperor dare not do, what a big boldness!"
As the eldest son of Emperor Qianwu, he naturally knew the horrors of the Eight Great Families better than ordinary people, and it was difficult not to be shocked.
In addition to being shocked, Li Chengye was a little excited.
"The courage of the husband has no hills and valleys, I don't know that Taoguang is obscure, and Li Changfeng is not worthy of being the opponent of this prince."
In his opinion, Li Changfeng's move is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and such a reckless act will inevitably intensify the contradiction between the royal family and the eight great families, which will dislike Emperor Qianwu.
Even if Emperor Qianwu did not punish him for this, he would be disappointed in Li Changfeng because of this matter, and he would not hand over Jiangshan Sheji to him.
"Now, the opponent of this prince is only Li Ji."
Li Chengye's eyes flashed.
As for what kind of result Li Changfeng will have in this turmoil, he doesn't care at all.
Li Ji was very excited to learn the news.
"Good! That's great! ”
"Li Changfeng, Li Changfeng, provoked the Zhao family, I see how you can hide from this catastrophe!"
"With my father's jealousy of the Eight Great Families, coupled with the handle left by your arrogant actions this time, you have to shed your skin even if you don't die!"
"After all, you are too arrogant, you completely underestimate the horror of the Eight Great Families, you don't know the power of the Eight Great Families at all, even your father and the emperor are afraid of three points!"
Li Changfeng's fall from grace is inevitable, and the continuous suppression of the Zhao family is also inevitable, Li Ji feels that his opportunity has come.
The enmity of the past will be liquidated together on another day.
