Long Fei's giant steel ship shook the world.Some people think that the Tianlong Empire is already so powerful that it is hard to match, but some people think that the Tianlong Empire has spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is useless to make such an iron ship.Except for some sections of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River in the country that can be used, other places cannot be used at all, which is a complete waste of national power.

There are quite a few people in Wu who have such thoughts, and Zhang Cheng is one of them.Although the ocean doesn't know how big it is, it's all water, and that place has no effect. For a country, the best thing is to be on land.So Zhang Cheng didn't take Long Fei's giant steel ship very seriously, but was a little displeased by Sun Liang's abnormal behavior.

Zhang Xiu understood why Zhang Cheng was unhappy these days: "Brother, are you still thinking about Shatou Town?"

Zhang Cheng looked at him and nodded: "You have also heard the conversation between Your Majesty and Long Fei that day. The dignified Emperor of Wu Kingdom actually recognized Long Fei as his uncle. How should the people of the world think of us?"

Zhang Xiu smiled: "It's called the emperor, but it's just a title. Everything is in the hands of you and my brothers. If you let him be the emperor, he is the emperor. If you don't let him do it...!"

Zhang Cheng hastily interrupted Zhang Xiu's words: "You bastard, you can't say this again, you and I are both Wu Chen, so don't say anything like this when you make trouble."

Zhang Xiu laughed loudly: "What can I do if I talk about it? What are we brothers afraid of?"

Zhang Fen also said: "Yes! If it weren't for our Zhang family's hard support, Wu Guo has been wiped out countless times, not to mention Long Fei, I am afraid that even Zang Ba can't stop it."

Zhang Cheng sighed: "Your Majesty seems to have grown up and has his own ideas. What happened in Shatou Town is very illustrative."

Zhang Xiudao: "Some time ago, His Majesty secretly called some ministers into the palace. I don't know what they were discussing secretly. Later, I heard that His Majesty cried out to those ministers about his experience. If Wang Changshi hadn't tipped off the news, I would not have known about it. These bastards are always respectful to us, but they turned against us at a critical moment?"

"Can anyone be found out?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"There are Sun Fen, King of Qi, Sun Ba, King of Lu, Huang Bing, General of Wei, um..." Zhang Xiu thought for a while, "There are also Gu Shao, Governor of Yuzhang, General Dong Xi, Zhu Zhi, and Quanzong, that's all."

"Oh?" Zhang Cheng frowned: "But they are all powerful people. I didn't expect His Majesty to win over so many people in just two years. Continue to investigate. I want to see what Your Majesty wants to do."

After returning from Shatou Town, Sun Liang was very lazy. Except for showing his face in the hall every day, the rest of the time was spent reading, writing and typing.Occasionally go hunting in the countryside, and when hunting, I specially select some people to accompany me.I feel that Sun Liang is not the emperor, but rather a son of some family, who is idle and doing nothing.

According to Zhang Cheng's instructions, Zhang Xiu monitored Sun Liang all day, and even the nanny who went to bed at night had to be arranged by Sun Xiu.Day by day, the sun rises from the east and sets from the west.Everyone should do whatever they want.Sun Liang was the same as before, except that sometimes he would secretly contact those close ministers. Of course, none of this escaped Zhang Xiu's eyes.

This morning, when Zhang Cheng walked up to the hall, there was still a sword hanging from his waist, everyone was shocked.After everyone's luggage passed, Zhang Cheng took a seat on the left side of the throne.With Chang Shi's voice, the shouts of going early if there is something to do, and dismissing the court if there is nothing to do.Some ministers began to play some small and scattered things.Zhang Cheng opened his mouth and made a stop for Sun Liang.The last one was played by the prefect of Jianye.

"Qizou Your Majesty, since Jianye has the Qinhuai River, the people's lives have been corrupted, and every household is proud to compare who has been to the Qinhuai River. According to my statistics, the Qinhuai River harvests millions of gold every day, but The whereabouts of the money is unknown, and I feel that there must be something wrong here!" Quan Duan respectfully looked at Zhang Cheng with squinted eyes: "I heard that the general has some property in the Qinhuai River, do you know if it is true or not?"

As soon as Zhang Cheng heard Qin Huaihe's name, he guessed that Quanduan must link this matter with himself.Sure enough, Quan Duan changed the subject and came towards him.Zhang Cheng smiled: "That's right, some of the Qinhuai River is indeed under my name. Could it be that the prefect Quan didn't participate in it?"

Quan Duan smiled: "The general asked well. I just stopped yesterday. Don't say, our whole family stopped from the Qinhuai River. I don't know when the general will stop? Many people speculate that the Qinhuai River is where Long Fei is in my hand. The spies arranged by the state of Wu, the first emperor was bewitched by the Qinhuai River girl to make this situation happen. In order to warn future generations, I thought that places like Qinhuai River should be uprooted. "

"That's right!" Zhu Ran, the general of the town army, immediately said: "The prefect Quan is right, the final general has already prepared, and the soldiers and horses have been stationed outside the Qinhuai River. As long as His Majesty gives an order, the Qinhuai River can be smashed into pieces immediately. "

Sun Liang didn't speak, but turned to look at Zhang Cheng.Others also looked at Zhang Cheng. The Zhang family accounted for the vast majority of the business in Qinhuai River.The businessmen from Jingzhou were very accurate. Zhang Cheng had already colluded with each other when he had money, so to speak.As many prostitutes as there are in the Qinhuai River, the Zhang family accounted for a large proportion of them.A quarter of the money transferred from each place went into Zhang's pocket.Banning the Qinhuai River is a great loss for the Zhang family.

Zhang Cheng stood up: "You all mean this?"

Some people retreated quickly, and some stood still without moving. Only Quan Duan and Zhu Ran responded immediately: "Yes, since the Qinhuai River was built, our country's power has been declining. Well, in a few years, all the money in our treasury will be thrown into the Qinhuai River."

"Joke! What kind of logic is this?" Zhang Xiu hurriedly said: "You threw in some money, and now that you have earned enough, you want to kick those businessmen away. If you don't go, they didn't force you to go."

Zhuge Jin got up slowly: "Your Majesty, I think the proposal of the prefect Quan is very good. The Qinhuai River is indeed not a good place. Back then, the emperor lost his mind because of the Qinhuai River. This place is too cloudy. industry is extremely detrimental, it is better to ban it.”

"Father-in-law!" Zhang Cheng shouted hastily.

Zhuge Jin waved his hand and continued: "Now our country of Wu is in danger, we should spend the remaining money on buying weapons and armor. Compared with spending a lot of money on the Qinhuai River, it is better to get some supplies. What about Long Fei? Our biggest hidden danger .”

Zhang Cheng looked at Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Jin nodded slowly.Zhang Cheng then said: "Since this is the case, I will follow the public opinion! Tomorrow, immediately send people to throw out all the land, and the treasury will ban the Qinhuai River!"

"General Shengming!"

Back home, Zhang Cheng's anger finally exploded.The things in the room were thrown in the same way, such as furniture, calligraphy and painting, ceramics, and antiques, all of which were completely irregular.What to grab and what to throw.He wasn't angry to ask the whole family to give up the most profitable business of Qinhuai River.Instead, I felt that I was put together by Quan Duan and Zhu Ran today, and I was forced to do something.So he is very angry.

"Squeak..." The door was opened.Zhang Cheng didn't even look at it, and roared: "Get out, I don't want to see anyone today!"

"I don't want to see you anymore?" Zhuge Jin's voice came from behind.

Hearing Zhuge Jin's voice, Zhang Cheng quickly apologized.In court, he was the general, Zhuge Jin was Situ, and when he returned home, Zhang Chengke was Zhuge Jin's son-in-law.According to the etiquette, we should give a big gift.Zhang Cheng was about to kneel down, but Zhuge Jin pulled him up: "Come on, sit down, I have something to say!"

Zhang Chengshun sat down obediently.Zhuge Jin looked at the random thoughts all over the floor and sighed: "Quan Duan and Zhu Ran definitely don't have such courage. If I'm not wrong, the whole family and the Zhu family are the real planners behind the scenes.!"

Zhang Cheng nodded: "I know a little bit, but I just can't swallow it!"

Zhuge Jin smiled: "This is only their first stage, and they will attack again in a short time. It's better for us to strike first and completely crush their plan."

"Preemptive strikes, what does my master mean to arrest them all?" Zhang Fen asked hastily.

"No, at least there must be a reason for arresting people. You can't attack the Forbidden City without a reason. At any rate, you have to estimate the whole family and the Zhu family!" Zhang Cheng was still sober at this time.

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Fen was at a loss: "If you can't arrest people, you can't arrest the emperor, right?"

Zhuge Jin smiled slightly: "That's what I mean."

"What?" Zhang Cheng, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Fen were all shocked: "Catch the emperor?"

Zhuge Jin said: "Didn't you capture the current emperor? Since the emperor doesn't agree with us, it's really useless to keep it, so it's better..."

"This..." Zhang Cheng hesitated.

Zhang Xiudao: "Brother, what the in-laws said is right, instead of letting this puppet find trouble for us, it is better to replace it, so as to avoid further trouble."

"No, no, no..." Zhuge Jin waved his hands again and again: "I didn't mean that, the emperor is now five years old, and as he grows older, his desire for power will become bigger and bigger, and my Jiangdong's various forces are intertwined, Although there are many attached to the Zhang family, there are also those who can compete with the Zhang family, such as the Quan family and the Zhu family, these two have united and pose a threat to us."

"What if we don't replace it? Let's tear ourselves apart with the whole family and the Zhu family?" Zhang Xiu said.

Zhuge Jin smiled: "Do you know why Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish and establish? It was precisely because King Hongnong was getting old and wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo changed to establish Xiandi."

"Father-in-law means..."

"That's right, follow Dong Zhuo's example, abolish Your Majesty and establish a new one!"

None of them spoke.This matter is a big deal. Although it is possible to force it, the risk is great.The whole family and the Zhu family will definitely not agree, it might be a shopping spree.In addition, after flying the current emperor, who will be established?Among Sun Quan's sons, Sun Liang is the youngest.After thinking for a long time, Zhang Cheng looked at Zhuge Jin: "Who does father-in-law think is the best choice?"

Zhuge Jin smiled: "The younger the better, the younger the better. Sun Hao, the son of the late abolished prince Sunhe, just turned one year old, so it's a good time."
