Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Page 290

Wang Gui was so surprised that he was speechless for a long time.

But Li Er's eyes lit up.

Isn't what Chen Chu wants to do is what I always wanted to do but didn't dare to do?

Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji.

As Li Er's number one fan, Changsun Wuji knew what Li Er was thinking with just one glance.

He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that the proposal of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is very feasible... Now, the Zheng family has caused a lot of trouble, which has caused panic among people and affected stability. The Zheng family must solve this problem as soon as possible. However, the Zheng family has no money, and the West Datang Company is willing to solve this matter for the sake of the stability of the country. There is nothing better in the world..."

Fang Xuanling and the others are all good people, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the West Datang Company is simply benevolent and righteous. Zheng should cooperate."

Wei Zheng and others also applauded.

Li Er saw that the time was ripe, so he said: "I'm afraid it will hurt the Zheng family if you do this. However, all the lovers are so persistent. For the stability of the Tang Dynasty and the stability of the common people, I... have to do something." Back to the villains..."

Lao Li is also an old actor, so naturally he has to do enough acting.

He pretended to decline, and then ordered: "The imperial court issued an order to reprimand the Zheng family and order the Zheng family to solve the trouble within half a month, otherwise, the Jingzhao Mansion will intervene to solve the trouble for the Zheng family..."

Fang Xuanling hastily agreed.

Li Er glanced at Wang Gui and said, "Wang Aiqing, as for the acquisition of the West Datang Company and the Zheng Corporation, you will be responsible for it. Wang Aiqing, this matter is very important, and you must do your best to do it well. Understand?"

Wang Gui: "..."

This is to put me on the fire.

Wang Gui had 1 rejections in his heart.

Once he does this, he will become a thorn in Zheng's side and a thorn in his flesh.

But who made Li Er believe that it was him.

Wang Gui nodded with difficulty: "Yes, Your Majesty, I must do this well..."

He regretted accepting Zheng's benefits.

Otherwise, how could there be so many things.

Then, Li Er said in a deep voice: "What I didn't expect is that there are many moths in the court. At this time, they don't want to solve the problem, but want the court to come forward. How is this behavior different from a house thief... ...Wei Aiqing."

Wei Zheng stood up hastily: "The minister is here."

"After you go back, ask Yushitai to conduct a thorough investigation to see what the officials kneeling outside have committed. Then hand it over to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment for thorough investigation and no mercy." Li Er's voice The living building became icy cold.

The censors of Yushitai have black materials on the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

As long as you are an official, who hasn't ordered something shameful.

And the gang and Zheng's officials kneeling outside are completely finished this time.

Li Er was in a good mood, waved his hand, and said: "My dear friends, a few days ago, the officials of Hebei Province presented a deer, and I heard from the imperial chef that this deer tastes the most delicious when its meat is fresh. In this nectar hall, I will share it with you and eat it."

When the meat is delicious, share and eat?

Everyone heard the meaning of Li Er's words.

Then he burst out laughing.

"Yes, share and eat!"

"A good thing..."

So, Li Er ordered to kill the deer, make a simple dish, send it to the Manna Hall, and share it with the ministers.

The monarch and his subjects enjoyed themselves happily.

Among them, only Wang Gui was sitting on pins and needles, his face was uglier than crying.

While others were drinking and eating venison, he was thinking about how to persuade Mrs. Zheng.

……

at the same time.

Li Lizhi didn't eat venison, but hurried back to the Nanshan mansion and reported the result to Chen Chu.

Hearing this, Chen Chu said: "I thought this matter would be delayed for a while, and there were many difficulties, but I didn't expect that the father would also have the intention of doing something against Zheng, so it would be easy... With the imperial edict, Zheng You should be able to understand that their doomsday is coming... Our preparations must also be advanced. On the one hand, it is money, on the other hand, it is manpower. Ask the eldest grandson's family to borrow, anyway, the eldest grandson's family has a big business, so borrowing a group of people is not a problem..."

……

Chapter 364

Chen Chu made some arrangements for the Nanshan mansion.

Li Lizhi smiled knowingly, and said, "Husband, I guess the thing that Mrs. Zheng regrets most now is that she was so obsessed with her obsession back then that she dared to challenge the West Datang Company."

At the beginning, if the Zheng family hadn't insisted on going their own way, first hoarding cloth, and then highly imitating the West Datang Company, trying to bring down the West Datang Company, how could they be in the current predicament.

Chen Chu shook his head: "This is the trend of the times, and it cannot be done by manpower..."

Even if Chen Chu doesn't act now, in the future, when the imperial examination system matures and the imperial power is further strengthened, a noble family like the Zheng family will disappear from everyone.

In later generations, not to mention rich people, even ministers with power over the government and the public, their heads will be beheaded, and it will be a matter of the emperor's word.

Now Li Er ruled the world, but also depended on the ministers and prime ministers, but in later generations, even the prime ministers were cancelled. In front of you, you have the opportunity to sit, and you don't even have to kneel down.

Chen Chu wanted to do Zheng's because he followed Li Er's thoughts.

Otherwise, how could Li Er agree to Li Lizhi's proposal when he entered the palace.

……

……

Cheng.

Below Zheng Chengdong, dozens of people from the Zheng family who could talk were looking at a eunuch solemnly outside the front hall.

The eunuch was an official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was fair-looking and solemn.

In the past, there were also eunuchs who came to the Zheng family to announce the decree, but they all smiled and were cautious, because at that time, the Zheng family had a big family and a great business, and they didn't dare to provoke them.

But the eunuch in front of him didn't even smile.

Anyone with information knows that the Zheng family is probably doomed this time.That being the case, there is no need to give face.

The eunuch Baijing cleared his throat, picked up the yellow imperial decree, and read aloud: "The imperial edict said: The Zheng family in Xingyang, overreaching their capabilities, wooed merchants and gathered people to come forward. Don't pursue this matter, this time, the chaos in Chang'an City caused by the Zheng family has caused panic and harm to the people, and the Zheng family has been ordered to quell the matter before the middle of the month, otherwise, the Jingzhao Mansion will come forward to quell the chaos."

Everyone in the Zheng family stood there dumbfounded as if they had been struck by lightning.

This decree mainly has two meanings.

On the first floor, the Zheng family borrowed cotton cloth to open a franchise store, which was suspected of forming a clique. This was an attempt to rebel.

On the second level, this trouble was caused by Mrs. Zheng. The court will not help, but give half a month for Mrs. Zheng to clean it up. If it is not handled properly within half a month, Jingzhao Mansion will If you make a move, it's not helping at that time, I'm afraid it will confiscate Zheng's family property.

Once this big hat is buckled, who can resist it.

Moreover, this decree must be announced to the world, and everyone in the world will know it.

At that time, who would dare to believe Mrs. Zheng.

"puff!"

As soon as Zheng Chengdong received the edict, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

The eunuch who announced the decree glanced at it, and said: "Patriarch Zheng, this is an imperial decree, don't be contaminated..."

Hearing this, Zheng Chengdong was so angry that he almost vomited blood again.

Even a eunuch dares to humiliate this old man?

The eunuch left with a cold face.

wow.

Zheng shi went up and down, and exploded all at once.

Everyone panicked.

If there was a chance before, now, as soon as the edict arrives, everyone feels like the end is coming.

This means that even Li Erlang is no longer afraid of the Zheng family, but instead made trouble.

Although Zheng Chengdong vomited blood, he did not pass out. He stood up and asked: "What are the people we sent for food? Although my Zheng family is not good at management in the officialdom, there are more than a dozen officials in the court. They are members of my Zheng family, didn't they let them put pressure on Li Erlang, why did they behave like this?"

Before the words were finished, a dozen officials in official robes suddenly appeared at the door.

These people are all related to the Zheng family, some are Zheng's children, some are Zheng's son-in-law, and some are people who have taken refuge in the Zheng family.

I saw this group of people, all of them were downcast, as if they were mourning their concubines.

One of the middle-aged people stepped forward and said: "Patriarch... We were all impeached by the imperial censor today, His Majesty was furious, and sent us all to a place of bitter cold, and we are leaving today. I'll wait... I can only come back and report to the patriarch, we are about to leave..."

boom.

Zheng Chengdong, who had just vomited blood, felt like a thunderbolt, and his whole body was not well.

"it is good……"

"Okay, then Li Erlang, this is to kill them all."

"It's so vicious..."

"puff!"

Zheng Chengdong started vomiting blood again.

It's true that the leak in the house happens to rain all night, and the broken boat meets the headwind again.

The Zheng family is over!

Zheng Chengdong waved his hands and told these officials to leave first.

Then, he sat back on the chair, glanced around, and said, "Now, my Zheng family has reached the critical point of life and death. You are all the talkers of Zheng's family. Let's talk about it. What should we do?"

One of the elders said: "Patriarch, the most urgent thing is to quickly calm down the merchants who are making trouble outside. We only have half a month. If we can't calm down the matter, once Jingzhao Mansion takes action, my Zheng family will have no way out..."

"Yes, that's the first thing."

Everyone agreed.

Zheng Feiyuan stood up and said bravely: "You clan elders don't know something. It's not that we don't want to solve this matter. It's true that Zheng's money bank is empty now... At the beginning, in order to attract more franchisees, we I took out a sum of money to make an interest-free loan, and then set up a cotton factory to raise money to buy cotton. One person is willing to lend us money, you say, what should we do?"

In fact, there is only one way to solve the problem, and that is to spend money.

But now, Zheng has no money.

This is contradictory.

Everyone was a little dumbfounded when they heard this.

What a fart if you have no money.

At this moment, the butler ran in and said, "Patriarch, young Patriarch, Lord Situ is coming to visit."

Sir Situ Wang naturally refers to Situ Wanggui.

Hearing Wang Gui's name, Zheng Chengdong's eyes lit up: "Hurry up, hurry up, Wang Situ has a high position and authority, and he is my friend for many years. Maybe he has a way..."

Soon, Situ Wanggui was welcomed in.

Wang Gui came to the main hall and asked straight to the point: "Patriarch Zheng, have you received the imperial edict?"

Zheng Chengdong nodded, and asked curiously: "Master Wang, a few days ago, you swore that you would speak for my Zheng family. Now, how could it be like this? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor really wants to kill everyone?" ?”

Hearing this, Wang Gui said with a bitter face: "You...you misunderstood, this matter is not what His Majesty meant... But, things have become too much trouble recently, it is the eldest grandson Sikong, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others who tried their best to persuade you , His Majesty had no choice but to issue an order... You should also know that people in Chang'an City are already in a state of panic because of your Zheng family incident, and there are even some disturbances, how can you be slower than the officials in the court..."

As soon as Wang Gui spoke, he shifted the responsibility to Changsun Wuji and others.

Even if he had a hundred guts, he didn't dare to say that Li Er did it.

……

Chapter 365 Qualified Lobbyist

After explaining the matter to Zheng Chengdong and the others, Wang Gui asked, "Your Majesty ordered the Zheng family to resolve the current mess within half a month. I wonder how Patriarch Zheng plans to deal with it?"

Zheng Chengdong's face turned dark when he heard this.

In the past, Li Erlang didn't dare to force the Zheng family like this, because the Zheng family could unite with other noble families and cause some trouble for the court.
