Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3481 ruthless heart
"This one……"

Hearing that he was going to announce it to the world, Li You was a little hesitant and reluctant.

According to his own thoughts, since the Guanlong Clan pushes him to take the position, it is natural for them to push him. He cooperates secretly, but on the surface he does not take the initiative, refuses, or is responsible. If you lose, you can also have a "forced helpless" retreat.

But once it is announced to the world, the matter will be settled immediately. Afterwards, no matter what, you can't get it out. You can only go to the dark with the Guanlongmen clan. On the body of the Longmen Clan, but by him, the King of Qi, to carry it.

This is very dangerous...

His brain turned quickly, he thought for a while, he hesitated, and said: "Zhao Guogong thinks highly of this king, and this king is naturally grateful, and is willing to stand up and turn the tide! It's just that this king does not care about life and death for the foundation of the empire and the life of the world. , but can’t fall into the name of being unfilial. Right now, the mother and concubine are still in the Taiji Palace. Once the king announces to the world, the prince will become angry and implicate the mother and concubine. What's the difference? If you don't bear it for now, wait until the overall situation is settled, and then announce it to the world."

"Ha ha."

Changsun Wuji sneered, such lame and stupid excuses are really far from those of King Wei and King Jin...

Yin Hongzhi who was on the side hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Concubine De is your Majesty's concubine, how dare the Crown Prince do harm? Besides, the Crown Prince is always used to show generosity and benevolence, flaunting the way of benevolence and forgiveness. If you treat Concubine De harshly because of Your Highness, Isn’t it true that your nature is exposed and you are criticized and ridiculed by the people in the world? Therefore, if His Highness raises an incident and announces to the world, instead of daring to persecute Concubine De, the Crown Prince will try to ensure Concubine De’s safety, lest others harm Concubine De and frame the Crown Prince.”

Li You stared at Yin Hongzhi speechlessly, and thought to himself, Uncle, you are really working hard for Changsun Wuji...

He was unwilling in his heart, but seeing the gloomy face of Changsun Wuji beside him, he was unavoidably apprehensive and dared not speak too much, it would be inappropriate to offend this "yin man" in case.

He had no choice but to be unwilling and reluctant: "If so, this king has nothing to say."

Changsun Wuji nodded, and said to Yin Hongzhi: "Go get ready, the current situation is urgent, and I need you to help me a lot."

Yin Hongzhi was very excited immediately, and said with a blushing face, "Mr. Zhao Guogong's kindness, I will keep it in my heart, but I have an assignment, and I will never refuse to die!"

He knew in his heart that even if his nephew King Qi became the crown prince or even the emperor, he would still have to submit to the Guanlong clan in a short period of time and take orders from Changsun Wuji, who was the only powerful official in the court!
As long as he can get the support of Changsun Wuji, he will definitely be able to enter the center of the court and reach the sky in one step!
In the future, when he helps King Qi stabilize the situation, cultivate the foundation, and hold the imperial power in his hands bit by bit, then he can take the place of the eldest grandson Wuji and become a generation of powerful ministers who are under one person and above tens of millions...

While his heart was swaying, Yin Hongzhi was full of pride and ambition.

Changsun Wuji can't stay in the Qi Palace for too long, and it is determined that the Qi King will stand up to depose the East Palace and inherit the position of the prince, so this remonstrance can be regarded as a "famous teacher". Everything is justified.

He told Qi Wang Li You and Yin Hongzhi to leave, and the matter of righteousness was settled. There are still more than [-] rebels outside who need him to command. , is the basis of all planning.

If this cannot be done, everything will become a laughing stock, and the Guanlong Clan will fall into the abyss of eternal doom...

Together with Yin Hongzhi, Li You sent Changsun Wuji out of the mansion, watched Changsun Wuji board the carriage, and then returned to the mansion.

The two returned to the academy stepping on the snow in the corridor, repelled everyone, and plotted what to do next.After all, the risk of this matter is too great. Imperial power is certainly attractive, but the hidden dangers are also terrifying enough. If you are not careful, you will be in a state of eternal doom.

On the other side, Changsun Wuji boarded the car and left Qi Wang's mansion, walked out of a stone's throw away, then raised his hand and knocked on the wall of the car.

My own family outside hurriedly approached, and said outside the car: "Patriarch, what are your orders?"

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Keep an eye on Prince Qi's mansion, especially Yin Hongzhi. The city is in chaos right now, if an assassin from the Eastern Palace commits an assassination, the strength of Prince Qi's mansion may not have the time to protect Yin Hongzhi's safety."

Che Wai's family general immediately said: "Your servant understands, so let someone keep an eye on Yin Hongzhi, so as not to let the assassin succeed."

Although Changsun Wuji didn't say it clearly, the meaning in the words is already evident, there are assassins who will go to assassinate Qi Wang Li You, who cares about a mere Yin Hongzhi?In Changsun Wuji's words, he did not mention the safety of King Qi, but only mentioned Yin Hongzhi, which is self-evident...

Changsun Wuji was very satisfied with these family soldiers who had followed him for many years, so he whispered in the car: "Be more agile."

The family general said: "Patriarch, don't worry, we will not let the Eastern Palace assassin take advantage of it."

Changsun Wuji nodded in satisfaction and said, "Let's go to work."

The assassin came from the East Palace, and instead of assassinating King Qi, he turned to assassinate Yin Hongzhi. There are reasons and evidences, and no one can question it...

"Here!"

Immediately, the family general took several dead soldiers, rode away from the convoy, and disappeared into the snow-covered long street after a while.

……

Changsun Wuji sat in the carriage and went to Yanshoufang, which was separated from the imperial city by a wall, to take command.

He took out a delicate and small jug and a cup from the dark compartment of the carriage, poured a glass of wine, and sipped it slowly. The mellow smell of wine lingered in his mouth, and a thread of fire went down his throat, warming his body a little. The spirit is also a little lifted.

If it wasn't because he was ruthless, it was because Yin Hongzhi had to get rid of it.

Although King Qi Li You is not as intelligent, wise and decisive as King Wei and King Jin, he is not a fool either.It's okay for him to hide his thoughts, this is human nature, but Yin Hongzhi advises him on the sidelines, and then influences Li You's behavior, this is something Changsun Wuji can't tolerate.

For Changsun Wuji, who has a strong desire for control, the King of Qi, Li You, must be completely in his hands...

Soon, the carriage set foot on the bridge erected on the Qingming Canal and arrived at Yanshoufang.

Yanshoufang is located in the southwest of the imperial city, adjacent to the West Market in the west, Buzhengfang where Jingzhao Mansion is located in the north, and facing Taipingfang across the Qingming Canal in the east.

The reason why the temporary command of the siege is set here is that one can make the fastest decision based on the changes in the battle situation nearby, and the Qingming Canal is separated to ensure safety, so as not to be suddenly rushed out by the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace of the Imperial City , causing damage.

Under the heavy snowfall, Yanshoufang was buzzing with people and brightly lit. Countless soldiers came in and out here, either galloping on horseback or running, gathering news from all directions here, and then the various families sitting here Distinguished children make decisions and pass them on.

The carriage with the family emblem of the eldest grandson drove into the gate of Yanshoufang. The soldiers on the road saw it clearly, and hurriedly avoided the sides of the road and gave way to the middle of the road.

The carriage arrived at a three-story building facing the street, and the family general raised the curtains. Changsun Wuji got out of the car and looked around.

This three-story building is an property of the eldest grandson's family. They usually run a tea house. Because it is close to the West Market, the business has always been good.The shops next to the street had already closed at this time, and the cover at the door had also been removed, but the handwriting on the door panels and walls could still tell the business they operated, most of which were gold shops, pawnshops, jewelry and the like.

At the beginning of the construction of Chang'an City, the system of "separation of squares and cities" was strictly followed, and the mixing of squares and cities was never allowed, which made it difficult to manage the yamen, and caused crimes and affected public order.However, as Chang'an became more and more prosperous, there were countless merchants and wealthy households from all over the world gathered here, and the huge wealth led to extremely prosperous commerce. The simple "separation of squares and cities" has hindered commercial development.

Especially in the first two years when Fang Jun served as Jing Zhaoyin, he rebuilt and expanded the eastern and western cities, and once moved the market to the Kunming pool outside the city, which greatly affected the bulk trade and retail business in Chang'an City, and some shops It began to be opened in various Lifangs.

Fang Jun didn't think there was anything wrong with this. In an international metropolis, prosperous commercial trade is a must. More money flows in and more commercial trade naturally means more taxes. More and more promote the prosperity of Chang'an.

As a result, although the system of "separation of squares and cities" still existed in the government documents, it was gradually abandoned. Today, shops have been opened in most lifangs, and shops of the same industry often gather in one place to form a scale effect.

For example, in Yanshoufang, there are mostly goldware and jewelry shops, in Xuanyangfang, the printing and dyeing cloth shop is famous all over the world, and in Fengyifang, the shops specializing in renting out funeral utensils are even more unique...
