Prince of Tang Dynasty

Official turmoil
The court was originally very quiet, so even though the official's voice was already very low, when he read out these twelve characters, more than half of the officials in the court still heard it.

Suddenly, there was an uproar.

"There is such a thing?"

"I never thought that someone would be so bold as to threaten His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No, I think he's threatening His Majesty..."

When everyone was discussing, Lu Zhi's complexion changed suddenly, he also stood up, and cupped his hands towards Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, although it is rumored that the Fanyang Salt Farm was established by our Lu family and His Royal Highness, in fact, our Lu family only occupies [-]% of the salt field, and His Royal Highness accounts for [-]%. Except for a few people, everyone else is concerned about this matter. have no idea!"

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi immediately bowed to Li Shimin, and then retreated.

Although Lu Zhi's words were only a few short sentences, the meaning inside changed the expressions of many people, and even Li Shimin's face showed a hint of anger.

It's not pretending this time.

According to Li Shimin's previous judgment, if the opponent's target was the Fanyang Salt Farm, why didn't they attack Lu Shi instead of picking a clever stubble?This is obviously unreasonable.

But now listening to what Lu Zhi said, Gao Ming accounted for [-]% of the Fanyang Salt Farm, and he was the real person in charge, and if the other party wanted to attack Fan Yang Salt Farm, it obviously made sense to use Gao Ming to act.

And according to what Lu Zhi said, neither the Lu family nor Gao Ming could spread the Fanyang saltworks around, but the other party directly targeted Gao Ming, so there is only one explanation!
The other party has eyes and ears in Lu's family, so he knows who is the real talker in Fanyang Salt Field!

You know, the Lu family is a big family with five surnames and seven surnames. To be able to have eyes and ears in such a big family, and to inquire about such secret information, it only shows one thing, that is, the other party also belongs to five surnames and seven surnames. The big family you want!

For so many years, the five surnames and seven Wangs have intermarried with each other. In addition to strengthening the relationship, they have also arranged a lot of eyes and ears in each other's family, so some important news cannot be kept secret.

And since Fan Yang Lu and Taiyuan Wang joined Gao Ming, they were faintly alienated by the other five families, and their eyes and ears arranged in other families were gradually isolated.

In fact, Lu's and Wang's did the same, but it's hard to guarantee that there will be fish that slip through the net and bring out important news from their own family.

Lu Zhi was very upset about this, so he didn't mind taking this opportunity to stab these former allies.

He succeeded, at this moment Li Shimin has entered a berserk state!
"Declaration of my will, order the left and right thousand cavalry guards to dispatch immediately, block all the salt fields and salt lakes except Fanyang Salt Field, and bring all the principals to the capital for interrogation, Shangguanyi!"

Hearing Li Shimin calling her, Shangguanyi immediately stood up and clasped his fists at Li Shimin.

"Wei Chen is here!"

"I ordered you to personally preside over this time. If you can't find out the matter clearly, you don't have to be a minister of the Ministry of punishment. Go home and farm!"

Seeing Li Shimin's stern look, Shangguanyi immediately bowed to him solemnly.

"Yes, I obey!"

After giving orders to Shangguanyi, Li Shimin scanned the surrounding area again with his red eyes, like a beast that chooses to eat someone, all the officials who made eye contact with him lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at him.

Looking at the officials with their heads down, Li Shimin snorted again.

"Hmph! No matter who is involved in this matter, I will never tolerate it. Anyone who dares to obstruct this matter will be killed!"

After saying this, Gao Ming waved his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the hall. Seeing this scene, Liu Bing, who was following Li Shimin, immediately shouted.

"Retreat!"

Although Li Shimin left, the officials did not dare to be sloppy, and shouted as usual.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

After shouting the slogan, it is considered to be clocked out of get off work.

But this time, the officials were no longer chatting and laughing like they used to. After the court, many officials left in a hurry, not even having time to say hello to others.

These officials are almost all descendants of the family. After they returned, they immediately sent someone to inform the family to prepare them for the coming "big storm".

At noon that day, at least a dozen fast horses drove out of Chang'an.

And Qianqiwei was not idle here, after receiving Li Shimin's imperial decree, Hegan Chengji immediately summoned his subordinates.

"Everyone, those who are ministers, the king is worried about the work of the minister, and the king humiliates the minister to death. This time, His Royal Highness suffered such a catastrophe. If we can't express this bad breath for His Royal Highness, how can we be worthy of our official uniform and monthly salary?" Salary?"

After hearing Hegan Chengji's words, several thousand cavalry guards under him immediately stood up.

"The Commander is right, this time we must give His Royal Highness such bad breath!"

"Damn it! These aristocratic families really don't take His Highness seriously, and they actually did such a rebellious thing!"

"This time, arrest those who dare to attack His Highness, and let them know how powerful we are!"

Seeing the angry look of the crowd, Hegan Chengji immediately nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, that's exactly the case. This time, I'm waiting for an order, so everyone should be more courageous. Go, don't let His Royal Highness down."

"Yes!"

Following Hegan Chengji's order, [-] left cavalry guards set off immediately, and for a while, the horses neighed and smoke billowed!

As for the right cavalry guard, after receiving the imperial edict, Zhang Sizheng was also arranging work for his subordinates.

"Everyone, our purpose this time is to seal off the salt lakes in Zhaojun and Longzhou, and bring the person in charge to Chang'an. There is one thing that needs everyone's attention, that is, when you act, don't be too presumptuous, let alone be caught by the other party. Do you know the reason for attacking His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhang Sizheng knew what was going on, so he was not as eager to make contributions as Hegan Chengji. What he had to do was to avoid complications as much as possible.

And several of his subordinates knew the truth, so they nodded immediately.

"Master Commander, this subordinate understands!"

Seeing that his subordinates understood, Zhang Sizheng nodded immediately.

"Now that you know it, let's go!"

"Yes!"

After the left cavalry, more than 2 people from the right cavalry also set off.

However, unlike Hegan Chengji's mobilization of all members, Zhang Sizheng only mobilized [-]% of the people, and the remaining [-]% ​​were sent into Chang'an City by him, patrolling the streets with the Jinwu Guards, and put on a gesture of tracking down the real culprit .

And the officials also knew that the cavalry guards were directly under Gao Ming's troops, and if something happened to Gao Ming this time, the cavalry guards would definitely make a big move.

Under such circumstances, the atmosphere in the officialdom suddenly became tense. In order to be misunderstood by the cavalry guards anyway, everyone was very careful in speaking and doing things, for fear of accidentally "stepping on thunder".

And just when the officialdom in Chang'an began to be turbulent, Gao Ming, the "culprit", also woke up.
