Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 173
Hearing this remark, Emperor Ganwu was startled for a moment, and then flew into a rage.

"You bastard! You are so bold and reckless, you simply don't pay attention to my Li family! The eight great families, I swear, I will slaughter all of you in my lifetime!"

"Dongchang's knife hasn't drunk blood for a long time, and this old slave is willing to do like a dog!" Gao Dali said with a gloomy expression.

"When you make a move."

Emperor Ganwu nodded, with a domineering power erupting from his body, he said coldly: "Since the Zhao family is so bold and reckless, I can't just endure it blindly, I have to let them know what will happen if they offend me!"

……

the other side.

An elder of the Zhao family also learned about the burning of several properties in the capital, and after the liquidation, the loss reached an astonishing 30 taels, and he was immediately furious.

"Little bastard, what a guts, really think he can do whatever he wants because he is a royal family? The royal family is nothing! My eight great families want them to sit in this world, so that they can sit securely!"

After a few angry reprimands, the elder Zhao Zhijing said coldly to his subordinates: "Send the news to the people in Luohua Palace, let them seize the time to do that little beast, so that the world will know the majesty of my Zhao family!"

The subordinate nodded and said: "Slave obeys!"

Then the conversation changed: "Elder, there is one more thing. Other industries in the capital that have not been affected by the disaster have all been investigated by people from Liufan Gate and Dongchang, openly or covertly."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhijing gritted his teeth and said, "Emperor Ganwu, you bastard, how dare you blatantly attack my Zhao family? Could it be that you don't want to be the emperor anymore?"

He cursed again.

After he scolded for a while, the subordinate asked cautiously: "Elder, I don't know how to deal with it at this time?"

At this time, Zhao Zhijing's anger gradually subsided, and he regained a little calmness. He knew that it must be Emperor Qianwu who knew that it was their Zhao family who wanted to assassinate Li Changfeng, and then responded.

The combination of the eight great families can indeed put enormous pressure on the royal family, but it is difficult for the Zhao family alone. If the royal family is annoyed and they fight to the death, it will not be worth the candle.

Zhao Zhijing pondered for a moment, then slammed his fist on the desk, and said unwillingly, "Stop assassinating that little bastard Li Changfeng for the time being. As for the property being investigated, let the dog emperor check it out. Forgive him for not daring to do it again." move!"

"The servant knows."

"Okay, you go down!"

After his subordinates retreated, Zhao Zhijing sneered and said, "Emperor Qianwu, you little bastard, if you don't give me some flair, do you really think my Zhao family is weak and easy to bully?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhijing picked up a pen and paper and wrote vigorously, writing letters to the officials in the DPRK and China secretly controlled or supported by the Zhao family.

He will go to court tomorrow morning, let these ministers impeach Li Changfeng, and force Emperor Qianwu to personally punish him.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Changfeng's so-called pursuit of assassins is just an excuse.

Here, Mr. Song, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, looked at Zhao Zhijing's letter, sighed again and again, his face was full of bitterness.

He was able to sit on the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Apart from his own talent, he could not do without the support of the Zhao family.

It can even be said that without the Zhao family, he would not have the status he has in the court today.

The Zhao family not only showed him the kindness of nurturing him, but also held evidence that he received a large amount of property from the Zhao family.

Now Zhao Zhijing's letter asked him to impeach Li Changfeng in the court tomorrow, which put him in a dilemma.

How much Emperor Qianwu loves and trusts Li Changfeng now, he doesn't know, isn't impeaching Li Changfeng self-inflicted?
And from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to impeach Li Changfeng either.

In his opinion, Li Changfeng's series of actions since he returned to Beijing are extremely rare talents for Daqian.

He wants to do well.

As for why the Zhao family suddenly took action against Li Changfeng, he, who has many years of experience in criminal investigations by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, is like a mirror in his heart.

It is nothing more than that Li Changfeng's property has affected the interests of the Zhao family. The Zhao family sent people to assassinate Li Changfeng but failed. Li Changfeng retaliated after learning the whole story.

The logic chain is very clear.

Although he didn't want to, it was beyond his control.

Zhao Zhijing's disobedience to the arrangement was not simply a matter of not being able to hold the post of Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. The Zhao family's usual methods would definitely kill him.

But the impeachment of Li Changfeng is not the case. After all, Li Changfeng's reckless move did leave a handle. He suppressed it with righteousness, and Emperor Qianwu couldn't say anything.

After all, as an emperor, if he didn't abide by the Dagan law, who else would take the Dagan law seriously?

In addition to worrying about this matter, he was more worried that this was a signal of war between the Eight Great Aristocratic Families and the royal family.

If this is the case, then the situation of an important official like him will be very dangerous, and there is a possibility of death at any time.

No matter which side the team is on, the other side will try to get rid of him.

After hesitating for a long time, Song Dexin sighed, and finally chose to side with the Eight Great Aristocratic Families.

In addition to Song Dexin, other ministers in the court also received letters from Zhao Zhijing, and a turmoil against Li Changfeng was brewing.

Li Changfeng knew nothing about this.

At this time, he was sitting leisurely on a chair in the mansion, eating snacks and listening to orders.

Eunuch Zhang, who came to deliver the imperial decree, ignored Li Changfeng's rude behavior as if he hadn't seen anything, and read the imperial decree to himself.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's decree said: The Ninth Prince Li Changfeng will go to court tomorrow on time, and there will be no mistakes! Here it is!"

"Okay, my prince knows." Li Changfeng waved to Eunuch Zhang, "Old Zhang, it's rare for you to come back to the palace, there are some delicious dim sum here, come and try."

"How dare this old slave?" Eunuch Zhang shook his head hastily.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, where are there so many rules? Sit down quickly, can't I ask the prince to invite you in person?" Li Changfeng said carelessly.

"Since that's the case, this old servant has the guts to sit with His Highness!" Eunuch Zhang bowed and sat down opposite Li Changfeng.

"Is that right?" Li Changfeng laughed, pushed the dim sum towards Eunuch Zhang, and handed over a stack of bank notes, "Seeing that it's getting cold, let's buy some clothes."

"I don't dare, I haven't spent all the old slaves that His Highness gave me a few times before!" Eunuch Zhang shook his head hastily.

"Old Zhang, why are you still so alien? This prince has always been like this to his friends, don't you know? Accept it quickly, don't let this prince talk about rewards, it will be a bit alien." Li Changfeng smiled. urged.

"Then... that old slave has the guts to accept it." Eunuch Zhang cupped his hands and accepted the bank note, cheering happily in his heart.

Now what he likes the most is to come to Li Changfeng to pass the decree. Not only does Li Changfeng not have the slightest airs, he treats him like a friend, and he rewards him with a lot of money every time.

To meet such a master is his blessing in three lifetimes.

After maintaining the relationship with Eunuch Zhang for so long, Li Changfeng stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "Old Zhang, do you know why the father suddenly let this prince go to the morning court?"

Eunuch Zhang, who took advantage of it, naturally did not hide it. He looked around and saw that no one was present, and then looked at the closed doors and windows, and said in a low voice: "I don't know the exact reason, but I heard that His Majesty was here this morning." There was a lot of anger in the Imperial Study, and Eunuch Gao arranged for a large number of Dongchang masters to go out. It is said that they are investigating the Zhao family of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families, and it may have something to do with this matter!"

Li Changfeng had heard such a big matter of burning the Zhao family's property at night, so he had heard the news, and he already had some guesses in his heart.

However, it is hard for Li Changfeng not to mention this kind of thing. He believes that as a party involved in this incident, Li Changfeng will have his own judgment.

"Okay, my prince knows, old Zhang is interesting enough." Li Changfeng laughed loudly.

"Your Highness must make preparations early!" Eunuch Zhang hesitated and reminded.

"The prince knows it well, come and taste this pastry."

Although Eunuch Zhang didn't say much, there was enough information for him to make a correct judgment on this matter.

At this juncture, it must be because of what he did last night.

Emperor Qianwu was furious, but he didn't send an order to reprimand him into the palace, obviously he knew what was going on and was angry at the Eight Great Aristocratic Families.

To let him go to the court tomorrow, Emperor Qianwu must have expected that the Zhao family would use their strength to launch an attack on the court, so he asked him to go to the court to defend himself.

Of course, it is also possible that he will be punished in court.

All this was within his expectations.

At the same time, Li Changfeng's burning of the Zhao family's property caused a sensation in the capital that continued to expand as time went by.

Li Chengye was shocked when he heard the news.

"Li Changfeng dared to take action against the Eight Great Aristocratic Families. This is something that even the emperor would not dare to do. What a brave man!"

As the eldest son of Emperor Qianwu, he is naturally more aware of the horrors of the eight great families than ordinary people, so it is hard not to be shocked.

In addition to being shocked, Li Chengye was a little excited.

"The courage of a common man has nothing to do with his chest. He doesn't know how to hide his strength and bide his time to become a great weapon. A mere Li Changfeng is not worthy to be my prince's opponent."

In his opinion, Li Changfeng's move is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Such reckless actions will inevitably intensify the conflict between the royal family and the eight great families, and make Emperor Qianwu displeased.

Even if Emperor Qianwu didn't punish him for this, he would be disappointed with Li Changfeng because of this, and would not hand over the country to him.

"Now, the prince's opponent is only Li Ji."

Li Chengye's eyes flickered.

As for Li Changfeng's outcome in this turmoil, he doesn't care at all.

Li Ji was very excited when he heard the news.

"Good! Great!"

"Li Changfeng, Li Changfeng, you provoked the Zhao family, I see how you can escape this calamity!"

"Based on your father's fear of the eight great families, plus the handle left by your arrogant behavior this time, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die!"

"After all, you are too arrogant. You have completely underestimated the horror of the Eight Great Families. You don't even know how powerful the Eight Great Families are. Even the Emperor Father is afraid!"

It was inevitable for Li Changfeng to fall out of favor, and it was also inevitable for the Zhao family to continue to suppress him. Li Ji felt that his chance had come.

The grudges of the past will be settled together in the future.
