People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 268 Restraining Yourself and Cleaning the Xia Family

In the middle hall, Hu Yu sat on the right side and lowered his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said respectfully: "Today, after receiving the order from the governor, I personally went to arrest Shu'er, a prostitute, and then lay in ambush for a long time in the Jiaofang Division. , but after all, there was no sign of Mr. Qi, and now he has disappeared."

"Maybe he's already dead." Li Xuan sighed faintly, and said, "The Tianyin Sect will not let people who know too much of their secrets live, and Yuan Governor's style, they have thoroughly learned it this time, and they will never do it again." Make more decisions on Governor Yuan."

"Indeed." Hu Yu cupped his hands and nodded slightly at the same time, a complex and difficult look flashed in his eyes.

Mr. Qi's idea of ​​beating Li Xuan was something Hu Yu didn't think of at the beginning, but this did not prevent him from taking advantage of the situation to expand the conflict between Mr. Li Xuan and Mr. Qi, and then gave Mr. Qi the handle. Afterwards, Li Xuan clung to him and pursued the beating.

Especially tonight, when Li Xuan was assassinated by the demon sect, Mr. Qi had huge suspicions.

This should have made people extremely happy, but Hu Yu couldn't be happy at all.

Because when Li Xuan was assassinated in West Lake, he had already gone to the Jiaofang Division to arrest the prostitute Shu Er under Yuan Jiazuo's order.

At the beginning, Hu Yu was still puzzled, but when the order to arrest Mr. Qi came from the whole city, Hu Yu immediately understood that Yuan Jiazuo and Li Xuan had reached a tacit understanding.

Mr. Qi was abandoned.

Even, perhaps from the beginning, Mr. Qi was just a target thrown by Yuan Jiazuo to attract everyone's attention.

How could Yuan Jiazuo, who has always been honest and upright, suddenly become a fool who doesn't distinguish between good and evil and only knows how to blindly protect?
Many people thought that Yuan Jiazuo wanted to make a lot of money when he was about to leave his post, but no one thought that Yuan Jiazuo's seeming connivance to the young master was actually more of a trap.

A trap that lures people into the abyss.

Hu Yu just couldn't see through this point, so he jumped out foolishly.

His actions completely fell into the eyes of Li Xuan and Yuan Jiazuo, and then they took advantage of the situation.

After some operations, all the stigma on Yuan Jiazuo was directly washed away.

Even for a period of time, all the people in Hangzhou's methods against Yuan Jiazuo have failed.

Especially after returning to the Governor's Mansion, Hu Yu found out that Yuan Jiazuo had already divorced Mr. Qi's aunt as early as this evening, before he knew the Jiaofang Secretary. He was even more horrified.

Because at that time, it was also the time when Li Xuan set foot on the boat at West Lake.

Li Xuan and Yuan Jiazuo had reached a tacit understanding of cooperation at some point, but Hu Yu didn't know anything at all, and was still there dazedly arresting people, becoming a knife in someone else's hand.

"Whether Mr. Qi is dead or escaped, it has nothing to do with Governor Yuan anyway. As long as the governor's office releases the arrest document, it doesn't matter if he is arrested or killed afterwards, but look at all the evidence from the governor's office." After a short pause, Li Xuan specifically said: "It's best to do this matter after Governor Yuan leaves Hangzhou, otherwise, the world will think that the Hangzhou family treats an upright official so harshly."

"Your official understands." Hu Yu cupped his hands, his expression calm, but he couldn't help but feel a little slanderous in his heart.

It's all right now, after several calculations, they have become the ones who maintain Yuan Jiazuo's reputation, what's the matter!
It's just a cocoon.

However, at this time, he couldn't help but not to do so, because the appearance of an upright official was a good thing for Hangzhou Mansion as a whole.

As long as the political conflict between the Hangzhou family and Yuan Jiazuo is secretly, it can only be put aside temporarily.

Li Xuan knew all of this clearly. When Li Xuan visited Yuan Jiazuo yesterday, she had already noticed the hidden meaning in Yuan Jiazuo's words, but what Yuan Jiazuo said was very cryptic, and Li Xuan couldn't understand it for a while.

Finally, after waking up all night, he finally figured out all the joints inside and out thoroughly.

A son of Qi, a concubine's nephew.

Even husband and wife will fly separately in the face of catastrophe, let alone a concubine.

The concubine's nephew is even more insignificant.

Yesterday, he felt that Yuan Jiazuo was too clean, even too clean.

If a person like this is not a truly upright and honest minister, then he must be a generation of heroes.

Xiangcai, Xiongxiong, Li Xuan hasn't fully seen it yet, but his actions are ruthless and ruthless, which is consistent.

As for the others, it depends on Yuan Jiazuo's subsequent governance methods in Hangzhou.

It is self-evident whether he started to seek personal gain, or more for the benefit of the people.

"The matter of Mr. Qi is now over, but what about Jin Ji and the Xia family?" Li Xuan stared at Yao Zhi firmly.

In fact, the matter of Jin Ji is not so important, maybe there is not much real evidence, but at this juncture, who would dare to let him continue to stay in the position of the captain of the city gate.

As for the possibility of the Tianyin Church playing tricks on his successor, it was feasible before Li Xuan arrived in Hangzhou, but after Li Xuan intervened, there was no possibility at all.

Because now even Li Xuan doesn't know who will be the next successor. He has discussed with Yuan Jiazuo about the choice of this person, and the navy will transfer people to take over. Selected directly from the city gate guards.

The real appointment will have to wait until after the Tianyin Sect incident is over, and the most important thing right now is the Xia family.

"The matter of the gold plan is decided by Governor Yuan. As for the Xia family." Yao Zhi began to ponder.

Li Xuan leaned back slightly, looked away from Yao Zhi, and her face became calm.

Kui Gong had previously confirmed that the Yao family is now in charge of the textile industry in the entire Wuyue.

Although Li Xuan didn't know how powerful the Yao family was, he believed that only the Yao family would make a move, and the Xia family had no room to resist.

Although Yao Zhi said that he only arrived in Hangzhou today, who would believe such nonsense?
Yuan Jiazuo has been sitting in the governor's mansion, and all the cronies who really work for him outside are brought from Chang'an.

How could the Sixteen Families who really ruled the entire Wuyue not stare at the Tianyin Sect, they are the masters of Wuyue, and they are the last people who don't want to watch the chaos in Hangzhou.

It is related to the Kai family, related to the Xia family, and someone from the Yao family who is in charge of the entire sixteen silk industries must be in Hangzhou.

"My lord is inquiring. Honestly speaking, the Xia family has a long history. If there are people who are associated with the Tianyin sect, they must be a minority. It would be an exaggeration to let him be completely annihilated because of this." Yao Zhi considered the words. , said cautiously: "The affairs of the Xia family, according to the opinion of the lower officials, must be cleaned up inside and out, and all people and matters related to Tianyin Sect must be cleaned up thoroughly. That's how much, please forgive me for everything."

"Good!" Li Xuan nodded directly, and Hu Yu looked at him with a surprised face. He thought it was difficult for the King of Nanchang to speak!

Seeing Li Xuan nodding his head, Yao Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I hope the Xia family will be the last one. If there are other families connected with the Tianyin sect, I don't know how to deal with it."

"How to deal with it, the Xia family has learned from the past. Those who can understand it will naturally understand it, and those who can't understand it...as long as it does not affect this year's summer and autumn harvests, this is His Majesty's order." Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and his tone His murderous intent is clearly visible.

Hu Yue and Yao Zhi's bodies shook, they immediately stood down, bowed and said, "I will obey the order."

Li Xuan waved his hand, and the two sat down again, but their expressions began to be a little bit out of place.

"Before this king left Shendu, His Majesty personally summoned him and asked him to ensure that the autumn harvest in Wuzhou this year will not be affected. These are His Majesty's original words, but if this king wants to come, and if he wants to keep the autumn harvest unaffected, then the summer harvest will not be affected. There can be no problems at all, we must ensure that there is a sufficient amount of summer tax sent to Shendu and Chang'an, so it is not just a matter of Wuzhou, Hangzhou Yuezhou and other states are also included."

"What the lord said is true. Your Majesty shines brightly for thousands of miles, and the sun and the moon shine brightly. The officials and others will guarantee that the summer and autumn harvests in the Wuyue states will not be affected." Yao Zhi and Hu Yu finally understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words. , also understood the meaning of the emperor.

Chaos, there will inevitably be chaos, but no matter how chaotic, this year's summer and autumn harvests cannot be affected in the slightest. This is the bottom line.

As for how to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, that is the method of the various governors, and there is no need for people to teach this point.

As for which family will be demolished and which family will not be demolished, it depends on each family's own choice.

Under the overall situation, some losses are inevitable.

"In that case, the officials and the others will leave first, so as not to disturb the prince's rest." After Yao Zhi got the answer he wanted, he bowed and left immediately.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, stood up, and reminded: "Be careful on the Changshi Road. Although other sects of the Demon Sect have suffered heavy losses in Hangzhou, they do not include the Tianyin Sect."

Yao Zhi paused slightly, then cupped his hands towards Li Xuan: "Thank you for reminding me, my lord, I understand."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, looked at Yu Ze and said, "Uncle Yu, send Uncle Yao Shi for me."

"Here!" Yu Ze bowed, then cupped his hands towards Yao Zhi, and said, "Sima, please!"

Yao Zhi bowed his hands to Yu Ze to return the salute, and then quickly exited the hall, followed by Yu Ze.

After Yao Zhi, Hu Yu left the other courtyard and the entire inn.

It wasn't until he got to the sedan chair outside that Hu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I never thought that today's matter would be understood in this way. I thought the King of Nanchang was a clever little fox, but I didn't expect Brother Yao to tell the truth in a few words. "

"A few words?" Yao Zhi looked at Hu Yu in surprise, and said with a frown, "Why are you talking a few words? We paid a huge price to let the King of Nanchang let go. How can it be a simple few words?"

"Ah?" Hu Yu opened his mouth wide in surprise.

He was clearly there just now, is there something he missed?

　I can see that seven book friends replied in the background here, and several of them liked it.

　　The four think that the prince still looks comfortable and natural, the two think it is okay, and the change of address is acceptable, and the one thinks that the prince is tired of looking at it and wants to change his taste.

　　Then the name of the prince will not change, so it will be decided.

　　The king will appear on some formal occasions, for example, when some Japanese, Silla, Turkic and Tubo people appear, after all, they will go to the battlefield in the future, it is more comfortable for foreigners to call the king.

　　The king will only use it internally, and his confidantes will occasionally use it in private.

　　For example, if a maid or something calls "Your Majesty~" in private, it's better than calling him a prince.
