Sui and Tang Dynasties: Engagement to Li Xiuning, start with heavy snow dragon ride

Yang Zhao looked at the crowd with a serious expression.

Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong deeply believed that they still thought of the gentry too simply.

At the same time, they were also amazed that His Majesty's strategy was one loop after another from beginning to end.

The two suddenly gave a wry smile. They thought they already knew Yang Zhao very well, but they didn't realize it, but it was only one or two out of ten.

As for why Yang Zhao needed to hide some things from them, it was easy to understand.

Even Xu Maogong praised Yang Zhao for his foresight.

Many things Yang Zhao thought of, they couldn't think of.

Just like this time, if you tell them from the very beginning that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River and the gentry must be eradicated.

It's good that the two agree, but they don't quite understand.

I will not mention it to you when I go to Jiangnan.

Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong would definitely not agree.

Furthermore, even if there is evidence for those noble families at this time, it is not easy to eradicate them.

There are always others on hand to assist.

"What did you see?"

Yang Zhao looked at the crowd and asked.

Wei Zheng sighed:

"Most of the families in the Yangzhou area in the south of the Yangtze River have been investigated clearly and have substantial evidence."

"The amount of evidence is enough to bring down Yangzhou and other regions."

With these evidences presented, even the ministers of the DPRK and China did not dare to intercede casually.

"Then since there are already so many evidences, why go south and directly take out these evidences."

"Those gentry have no room to breathe."

Su Wei didn't understand, did His Majesty just come out to get some air?

Xu Maogong further explained:

"But these are not enough, a representative family destruction is required."

Concise and concise.

In the phrase.

Yang Zhao nodded and said:

"That's right, those gentry are just appetizers. To capture the thief, you must first capture the king."

All of a sudden, everyone understood.

Suddenly, they all knew why Yang Zhao had to go to Jizhou.

"Last time in the court, it seems that Cui Rong belongs to the Qinghe Cui family, right?"

Xu Maogong said meaningfully.

The Qinghe Cui family is one of the leading representative families of the Guanlong Group.

Yang Zhao nodded without hesitation and said:

"Cui Rong was obviously confident that day. No matter how daring the gentry was, they would not have dared to conceal the 50 taels."

"Cui Rong's official position in the court is not too high, but the relationship network is complicated, and the gentry is closely connected."

"I don't know if you have noticed, but several times when he went to court, the rest of the gentry moved closer to him intentionally or unintentionally."

After Yang Zhao's reminder, Wei Zheng and others thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Secretly admire Yang Zhao's power of observation.

"So, if there is a large amount of silver missing, who will it be?"

Several people looked at each other and already had an answer in their hearts.

Qinghe Cui family.

No wonder His Majesty changed the route this time, it turned out to be because of this.

It dawned on Pei Ju that their ultimate goal was to recover the missing silver and make up the gap.

After the discussions were over, they immediately packed their luggage and set off for Jizhou.

……

On this day, Feng Deyi's mansion came.

Inside the study.

"Master Cui, why are you so anxious to summon us?"

Feng Deyi was a little dissatisfied, and asked buzzingly.

The emperor is sick, so they don't have to go to the morning court, and now the world is stable, and there is nothing wrong.

All day long and all night long, Feng Deyi had just bought a beauty and was about to enjoy it when Cui Rong called her over.

Are you happy that you interrupted his good business?

But he didn't dare to really lose his temper, he still couldn't offend Qinghe Cui Shi.

"Don't you think that His Majesty has been sick for a long time?"

Cui Rong didn't care about Feng Deyi's attitude, he was a little restless at the moment.

"It's been ten days, what's the disease, and it's still not cured?"

Chapter 298 Cui Rong's Suspicion

Feng Deyi and others couldn't help laughing when they heard Cui Rong's words.

"I said Master Cui, why are you so concerned about His Majesty, but he can't see it."

"Isn't this a good thing? After a while, the matter of Yinliang will be over, and we will be safe."

"Lord Cui, didn't the imperial doctor say that your Majesty's condition is getting worse, and it's normal to take more rest."

Several people were chattering, not understanding what Cui Rong was talking about.

Those who didn't know thought he was a loyal minister.

Cui Rong glanced at the crowd with displeasure in his eyes.

"My lords, have you been too indulgent these days?"

"Don't forget, now is the cusp, don't do bad things."

Cui Rong's tone was cold, Feng Deyi and the others smiled brightly.

Lu Qi hurriedly laughed with him:

"Master Cui's lesson is that we really need to restrain ourselves."

When Cui Rong was depressed, he looked at several people and said seriously:

"Your Majesty has been ill for a long time, and if you don't see anyone, aren't you afraid?"

Feng Deyi and the others are also important ministers in the court after all, and they can sit in this position not only because of their connections.

After Cui Rong's reminder, Lu Qi and the others looked at each other and paid attention to it.

Cui Rong continued:

"Rather than saying that His Majesty is ill, it is better to say that His Majesty has been missing for ten years."

Feng Deyi's body trembled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and then he showed an ugly smile:

"Should... not?"

Lu Qi was better, but her voice was trembling:

"You mean, Your Majesty, it is possible, is no longer in the palace?"

Speaking of this idea, Lu Qi himself was shocked.

"Impossible, impossible, we must be thinking too much, could it be that the imperial doctor, the empress and the Supreme Emperor are all lying?"

"Then tell me, even if His Majesty is sick, why doesn't anyone see him?"

Cui Rong felt more and more that the matter had reached the point where he could not control it.

"I'll wait, I'll go face the saint right away!"

With a wave of Lu Qi's cuff, he wanted to confirm, otherwise, he would have trouble sleeping and eating.

As soon as he said that, he walked out, followed by Feng Deyi.

Cui Rong was not together, and he was not very sure in his heart. He came here today to say so on purpose.

Let these two try it out.

Because he also thought of a possibility that their Majesty is so smart.

Maybe it was deliberately pretending to be sick, but Cui Rong didn't know what to do.

What he was sure of was that if His Majesty was not here, it must be related to the lack of silver taels.

It's just that it's not appropriate for his official position to face the saint directly, so he came to Feng Deyi's mansion early this morning.

Everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, he believes that Feng Deyi and others will be more anxious than him.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Cui Rong felt a little uneasy.

I don't know why, but I always feel that things are not so simple.

……

Royal Palace.

Feng Deyi and Lu Qi looked at each other the same way, and they both saw an inexplicable taste in each other's eyes.

"Eunuch Zhang, please be accommodating. Your Majesty looks like this. As ministers, we are really worried!"

Feng Deyi's tone was almost pleading.

The two of them came to the palace in a hurry, but they didn't expect that they didn't even enter the gate of Yong'an Palace.

Zhang Heng, the great eunuch next to His Majesty, stopped the two of them outside the palace, with a look of embarrassment on his face:

"Hey, my lords, it's not that the miscellaneous family will not go, but that His Majesty has already issued a death order and no one is allowed to visit."

"Both of you, please go back."

Lu Qi was not displeased when he saw this, so he pulled Zhang Heng aside and took out ten taels of silver from his cuff.

"Lord Lu, you also know that His Majesty fell ill recently because of this. You... are not suitable?"

Zhang Heng confiscated it, and said something with a smile on his face.

Lu Qi didn't care, waved his hand and said:

"What is Eunuch Zhang thinking? We are officials ordered by the imperial court, so we cannot do such a thing."

"Master Nalu, who is this?"

Under Zhang Heng's puzzled eyes, Lu Qi continued:

"The housekeeper in my mansion has a relative. You forgot to work under your command. He dragged me to hand it over to him."

"You also know that I am good to my servant, but due to my status, I can't go to him directly, so you should do me a favor and do me a favor."

The two suddenly looked at each other and smiled, and Zhang Heng reluctantly took the silver into his arms:

"Hey, Mr. Lu, this is you. If you change someone else, I won't give face."

Lu Qi chuckled, cupped his hands and said:

"Eunuch Zhang, what happened to your majesty, we are really worried."

"This country cannot be without a king for a day. His Majesty has not been in the morning court for ten days. This..."
