Bringing the farm to another world

"How many planets does your Highness control so far?" Zhang Ruyi asked someone beside him. This person was his personal servant, so he knew everything Zhang Ruyi had done, which was why Zhang Ruyi asked him this question.

The man immediately said, "In reply to the master, there are forty-three planetary governors, all of whom are Zhu You. Although Zhu You is not well-known, he is an old man in the prince's mansion, and the prince trusts him very much."

Zhang Ruyi nodded and continued, "There are more than forty planets now, which is enough. We can't have more. Otherwise, once this matter breaks out, it may cause turmoil. I thought this matter would be exposed, but I didn't expect that it has not been exposed until now. The people who work for the prince do have some means. If they don't expose it, then we have to expose him." A determination appeared on Zhang Ruyi's face. He knew very well that if they exposed this matter, it would be equivalent to a head-on confrontation with the prince. However, he believed that as long as this matter was exposed, the prince's position would be lost, and he would not have to be afraid of the prince anymore. However, this matter would definitely cause dissatisfaction with Zuoqiu Wen, and Zuoqiu Wen might blame them, but now he could not care so much, this matter must be done.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruyi said, "Tell Xu Kangxin to meet him tonight, at the place where we met last time." The servant responded and immediately went to make the arrangements. After a while, he said to Zhang Ruyi, "Master, it's arranged. The head of the Xu family said he will be there in the evening." Zhang Ruyi nodded, and then sat there quietly without saying anything.

Until the evening, in the same pub as last time, and in the same private room, Zhang Ruyi arrived early, and Xu Kang arrived soon after. As soon as Xu Kang entered the private room, he saw Zhang Ruyi, then he sat down opposite Zhang Ruyi, and then said, "Tell me, what's the matter?" The relationship between Xu Kang and Zhang Ruyi has eased now. After all, they are now in a cooperative relationship. However, Xu Kang is still not willing to deal with Zhang Ruyi, because he feels that Zhang Ruyi is too calculating, and he can't outsmart Zhang Ruyi, so he simply doesn't deal with Zhang Ruyi.

Zhang Ruyi looked at Xu Kang and said, "I called you here this time because I want to tell you about what I told you before, that is, the prince wants to use the poison pill to control those Jiedushi. Now the prince has controlled more than 40 Jiedushi. I think this matter must be exposed. If it continues like this, it will definitely cause unrest in the empire. No matter who we are, we don't want to cause unrest in the empire, so this matter must be exposed."

Xu Kang looked at Zhang Ruyi and said, "Do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, then it's better not to talk nonsense. The position of the crown prince is still very stable. If you talk nonsense, you won't be able to overthrow the crown prince. You will only usurp the crown prince's most violent revenge."

Zhang Ruyi said, "I have surveillance videos of Fu Sheng threatening the prince's six followers, and I also have evidence of Zhu You sneaking into the various star lords' palaces. I believe these are enough to threaten the prince. Once the prince falls, it will be up to us."

Xu Kang looked at Zhang Ruyi and said, "What good will this do for us? We are loyal to His Majesty now. If the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, we will only be loyal to him. So whether the Crown Prince falls or not, it is the same to us. When we said we would cooperate with you, we only said that if it is a matter of life and death for our family, we will cooperate. This matter is obviously not a matter of life and death for our family, so we will not care, because the only ones who will benefit from this matter in the end are you. You have long colluded with other princes except the Crown Prince. If those princes come to power, it would be good enough if they don't deal with us. It is impossible for them to help us. It will not benefit us at all if we help you overthrow the Crown Prince now."

Zhang Ruyi snorted coldly and said, "Do you think it will be over if you don't take action? If you take action with us this time, you will be helping the other princes. After they take the throne, they may not deal with you. If you don't take action this time, then it's hard to say what they will do after they take the throne. So think clearly about what to do, don't regret it later, it will be too late."

Xu Kang looked at Zhang Ruyi and snorted coldly, "Even if we help you, those princes will probably only attribute the credit to you and not to us, right? So it's useless. That's why I won't do anything. You can do what you want. At most, we won't support the prince. Whether you can overthrow the prince depends on you." After that, Xu Kang stood up and walked out. Zhang Ruyi looked at Xu Kang who was leaving, his face turned pale. He didn't expect that Xu Kang would actually disagree. This really disappointed him, but this was also within his expectations. He breathed a sigh of relief and didn't talk about this matter anymore. He was going to drag Xu Kang into this incident, hoping to drag Xu Kang into the water and let Zuo Qiuwen think that Xu Kang was in cahoots with them again. If Xu Kang disagrees, then forget it, and he'll talk about it when he has a chance in the future.

But they didn't know that this matter had long been seen by others. Zuo Qiuwen sat quietly in his study, watching the surveillance video in front of him. After he knew that the major families knew about Zuo Qiuzheng's actions, he had already sent people to monitor their actions. With his power, it was very easy to send people to monitor the actions of the major families. So he saw all the talks between Zhang Ruyi and Xu Kang this time. After Xu Kang left, Zuo Qiuwen turned off the video and then said, "Xu Kang is pretty good and didn't mess around. We won't deal with him this time. But Zhang Ruyi and the others know the importance of this matter. They know that we can't let the empire fall into turmoil. If we take action at this time, our plan can be carried out." Decai said, "Your Majesty, do you want to talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter?"

Zuo Qiuwen shook his head and said, "No need. He already knows about this matter anyway. He should know what to do when the time comes. It just so happens that there will be a grand court meeting tomorrow, so let's watch their performance." Decai responded and stopped talking.

The next day, it was time for the grand court meeting. All officials attended the court. When everyone arrived, Zuo Qiuwen arrived at the main hall. After Zuo Qiuwen arrived at the main hall, all officials bowed to Zuo Qiuwen. Zuo Qiuwen nodded and then said, "Everyone, please stand up." Everyone said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty." After that, they stood up. Then Decai said, "If you have something to say, report it early. If you don't have anything to say, leave the court."

At this time Zhang Ruyi stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to submit." Everyone looked at Zhang Ruyi, and Zuoqiu Wen also said: "Please submit it." Zhang Ruyi said in a deep voice: "Yes, Your Majesty, I want to impeach the prince for using poison to control officials with ill intentions. Please investigate carefully." After Zhang Ruyi finished speaking, he saluted towards Zuoqiu Wen. His words shocked Zuoqiu Zheng's mind, and he thought to himself, here it comes.

Zuo Qiuwen said lightly, "Oh? I wonder if you have any evidence?" Zuo Qiuwen did not seem to take the matter seriously and asked directly. Zhang Ruyi immediately said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have evidence. Please allow me to produce the evidence." Zuo Qiuwen nodded and said, "Okay, produce it." Zhang Ruyi responded, and then he began to play the video. The video was a video of Fu Sheng threatening an officer of the Prince's Sixth Command. When the video was played, there was an uproar in the hall.

Zhang Ruyi then said, "Your Majesty, I have other evidence here. This is Liu Yiwu, the governor of the prince's court, and this is Zhu You, a man under the prince's court. Liu Yiwu is the governor of Xipu Star, and Zhu You is the chief historian of Xipu Star. They both have very high status. After Liu Yiwu came to the capital star last time, he returned to Xipu Star and sent Zhu You out to sneak into the governor's mansions of more than 40 stars. I suspect that he used this poison pill to control those governors, so I want to impeach the prince. I'm using poison to control officials with ill intentions. Your Majesty, please investigate clearly." Zhang Ruyi took out all the evidence in his hand.

At this time, several ministers stood up and said loudly: "I second the motion." Those officials who didn't know about this matter also looked at Zuo Qiuzheng in shock. They didn't expect that Zuo Qiuzheng would do this. This was too shocking for them. If Zuo Qiuzheng really did this, would they still have a way to survive in the future? Wouldn't they become Zuo Qiuzheng's puppets? Whatever Zuo Qiuzheng asked them to do, they would do it. Wouldn't they be finished in the future? It was because of this thought that they all glared at Zuo Qiuzheng, and some ministers jumped out to support Zhang Ruyi and must prove Zuo Qiuzheng's guilt.

Zuoqiu Wen's face was also ashen. He turned to look at Zuoqiu Zheng and said, "Prince, what do you have to say?"

Zuo Qiuzheng quickly stood up and said loudly, "Father, Prime Minister Zhang is talking nonsense. I have never done this. I suspect that their video is fake and that was not Fu Sheng at all. As for saying that I used poison to control those Jiedushi, that is nonsense. I have never done such a thing. Please investigate and clear my name." Zuo Qiuzheng would of course not admit it. Not to mention the current situation, even if Zuo Qiuwen didn't know about it, he would not admit it. If he admitted it, it would be all over. So he simply denied it. Moreover, the video could be faked. If he didn't admit it, the other party would have no choice. It was right for him not to admit it. If he admitted it, it would arouse the suspicion of Zhang Ruyi and the others. This time, Zuo Qiuwen wanted to use this matter to deal with Zhang Ruyi and the others. So no matter what, Zuo Qiuzheng would never believe this matter.

At this time, Zhang Ruyi said, "Your Majesty, I heard that if you conduct a deep test on the blood of people who have taken poison, you will find problems. Please allow me to bring the people in the video to the hall for testing. We will know the truth after one test." Zhang Ruyi dared to accuse Zuo Qiuzheng, so of course he had done enough preparation. He had beaten them. As long as someone was controlled by poison, their blood would be different from that of normal people, so those people were the biggest evidence. (End of this chapter)
