The news that Zhang Wei was going to lead his troops to the north spread throughout Kyoto in an instant.

When Tian Qianqiu received the news, Zhang Wei was already preparing to set off.

When they learned the news.

This is surprising and astonishing.

It was indeed unexpected that Zhang Wei would agree to Liu Fuling's request and lead his troops north.

After learning about this, the Chief Censor immediately went to the Prime Minister's residence to discuss the matter with Tian Qianqiu.

"What do you think Zhang Wei was thinking? Why did he agree to your majesty's request and lead the troops north?"

While drinking tea, Sang Hongyang said to Tian Qianqiu: "Do you have any other ideas?"

"If Zhang Wei leaves now, the situation in Kyoto may change."

"If Zhang Wei wasn't here, Zhang Xingmin wouldn't be a big deal. Do you have any other ideas?"

Sang Hongyang looked at Tian Qianqiu with a smile.

They have been suppressed by Zhang Wei for too long.

As long as Zhang Wei is in Kyoto, they will have no chance to succeed.

Although His Majesty trusts them very much, what are they in front of the Zhang family?
"What do you want to do?"

Tian Qianqiu heard the other party's hidden meaning.

But he didn't respond, but asked back.

Sang Hongyang looked at Tian Qianqiu, cursed him in his heart as an old fox, and then put the teacup in his hand on the table.

"If Zhang Wei goes north, the power of Kyoto may fall into the hands of others. Not only that, Zhang Wei's foundation in Kyoto may also be destroyed."

"If we want to take action against the Zhang family, this is the best time, and we can start with the Zhang family's business."

Sang Hongyang looked at Tian Qianqiu with a smile.

He came to the Prime Minister's Mansion just to discuss this matter with Tian Qianqiu.

Although your majesty is young.

But he was an emperor after all.

There are no simple roles for people coming from the royal family.

Although Liu Fuling was young, people had already made up their minds.

He also knew that the development of the Zhang family threatened the existence of the Han Dynasty.

If the Han Dynasty wants to continue to exist, the Zhang family cannot continue to grow.

Otherwise, it will bring danger to them.

As long as Tian Qianqiu agrees, they can go to the imperial city immediately to discuss this matter with His Majesty and see if they can eliminate Zhang Wei and the Zhang family at the same time in this incident.

"Your ambition is really big."

Tian Qianqiu naturally understood what Sang Hongyang meant.

After understanding the other party's intention, Tian Qianqiu couldn't help but act.

Then break the other person's fantasy.

"Do you think Zhang Wei will take all his people away?"

"Who told you that Zhang Xingmin is nothing to be afraid of?"

"If we really go up against the Zhang family, are you sure you can take down Zhang Xingmin?"

Zhang Xingmin is the same as Zhang Wei.

They are all regent ministers.

The positions are almost the same as theirs.

Moreover, Your Majesty's attitude towards Zhang Xingmin is completely different from that towards Zhang Wei.

If Zhang Wei had died in the Northern Expedition, Your Majesty would not necessarily take action against Zhang Xingmin.

After all, Zhang Xingmin is a man of real talent and knowledge, and if he stays in the court, he can also lend a helping hand to Your Majesty.

Your Majesty is not a fool.

How is it possible to push Zhang Xingmin out?
Sang Hongyang had such beautiful thoughts.

"Who said I want to attack Zhang Xingmin?" Sang Hongyang looked at Tian Qianqiu in surprise and said, "We can definitely use their strength to counter their own."

"As long as it is used properly, this matter can be resolved without our intervention."

"Oh?"

Tian Qianqiu was a little curious.

He looked at Sang Hongyang in confusion.

What's this guy's idea?
Although he wanted to take down Zhang Wei and the Zhang family at the same time.

But I also know how difficult this matter is.

Without foolproof preparation, he could not take action against Zhang Wei and the Zhang family.

Your Majesty is afraid of Zhang Wei and the Zhang family.

Wouldn't it be courting death for them to confront these two now?

Seeing that Tian Qianqiu was interested in this matter, Sang Hongyang raised his lips slightly and continued, "Do you still remember Prime Minister Gongsun?"

"You mean Gongsun He?"

Tian Qianqiu looked at Sang Hongyang suspiciously: "Gongsun Hedu's clan has been exterminated by your majesty."

"Now they are no longer powerful, and even their assets have been taken away by others. They can't even keep their clan land. What do you think they are doing?"

Tian Qianqiu was not interested in the affairs of the Gongsun family.

Although the demise of the Gongsun family left a deep impression on them.

But that's about it.

They all work for the Han people.

This kind of thing was already within their expectations.

If you want to blame someone, blame Gongsun He for being too stupid.

He was clearly very cautious before.

He is also a very law-abiding person.

He was even more honest and prudent in the court.

During the previous emperor's period, Gongsun He could be said to be the most favored person.

But who made him give birth to a useless son?

If Gongsun He had a successor as outstanding as Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin, the Gongsun family would not have perished.

When Sang Hongyang mentioned the Gongsun family, Tian Qianqiu really didn't care much.

What help can be given to a family that has been stuck in a quagmire and has no chance of recovery?
"Don't underestimate them."

Sang Hongyang looked at Tian Qianqiu and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I happened to meet the descendants of the Gongsun family these days."

"They are still in Kyoto, but they are lying dormant."

"Not only that, there is also someone from the Gongsun family serving in the army. After the Gongsun family was destroyed, this person was not implicated."

"He changed his name and hid in the army just to avenge the Gongsun family one day."

"You mean, this person will also follow Zhang Wei all the way north?" Tian Qianqiu instantly understood the man's implication.

After hearing the man's implied meaning, a different color appeared in Tian Qianqiu's eyes.

"Don't forget Zhang Wei's methods."

"Even if someone is lurking around Zhang Wei, it doesn't necessarily pose a threat to Zhang Wei."

"The Zhang family is full of talented people. Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin are both outstanding talents, and they are able to gain a foothold in the court because of their real talents and knowledge."

"We have only seen Zhang Wei's methods over the years, but Zhang Xingmin has always been well protected by Zhang Wei. How do you know that these two people will not work together?"

Tian Qianqiu was still a little worried.

Think back to the beginning.

When Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin first entered Kyoto.

Most of the overt matters were handled by Zhang Xingmin.

Zhang Wei has always been a behind-the-scenes person.

Until Zhang Wei entered the court.

He just showed his talent.

Then he became famous in the Battle of Hulao Mountain.

After this incident, Zhang Wei no longer hid his edge and even made rapid progress.

In just a few years, Zhang Wei had become one of the Nine Ministers.

He also became the master of Guanglu Xun.

Now he has become the regent.

This is enough to illustrate the strength of Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin.

Under the premise of hiding his edge, Zhang Xingmin was able to become the regent minister and now holds the position of Minister of Agriculture.

Such an amazing person.

Sang Hongyang actually didn't take it seriously.

How arrogant is this?
If he really goes against Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin, he will definitely suffer.

"Who said they would cooperate?"

Sang Hongyang had a detailed discussion with Tian Qianqiu about everything he had learned during this period.

As far as he knows.

The relationship between Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin doesn't seem to be as strong as in previous years.

There is no longer the brotherhood and respect between them as before.

I don’t know what happened between the two of them.

In short, they all saw Zhang Xingmin's estrangement from Zhang Wei.

"These two are no longer the friendly brothers they once were."

“This is our chance.”

"This is also the only chance to bring down Zhang Wei and the Zhang family. Don't you want to give it a try?"

"Once Zhang Wei and the Zhang family continue to grow, it will be difficult for us to deal with them given the Zhang family's current family background and status."

"Only when Zhang Wei is in trouble can we take action directly against the Zhang family. No matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to react in the first time, and they will not even be able to carry out the task entrusted by Zhang Wei."

"Then we'll be able to catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Sang Hongyang had great ambitions.

Since you want to take action against the Zhang family.

We must not show mercy. We must root it out.

They all saw how powerful Zhang Wei was.

And the Zhang family is not an incompetent family.

Zhang's Commercial Bank is at the bottom of the list, but as long as they are given time, they will be able to make a comeback.

Facing such a family.

Otherwise, don't do it.

Or else do it to the extreme.

Anyway, we can't give them any chance to recover.

What happened twenty years ago is a bloody lesson.

If you want to blame someone, blame Your Majesty for not rooting out the problem completely.

Your Majesty would like to wipe out the entire Zhang family.

There wouldn't be anything like what happened today.

"What do you want to do?" Tian Qianqiu was a little tempted.

He actually also wanted to get rid of the Zhang family.

If there is a way to deal with the Zhang family, he will not give up.

"It's easy."

Sang Hongyang looked at Tian Qianqiu and told him his plan.

After hearing the other party's plan, Tian Qianqiu was completely stunned.

Then he shook his head repeatedly.

“This is not right!”

"This is truly ungentlemanly behavior!"

"Is there any other way?"

Tian Qianqiu is also a gentleman.

After hearing what the other party said, I was completely stunned.

This method is too despicable.

It really damages his reputation as the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.

"Doesn't the Prime Minister want to get rid of the Zhang family and Zhang Wei?" Sang Hongyang said directly.

"Don't forget, this is our only chance. If we let this opportunity slip away, there won't be another good opportunity like this again!"

Sang Hongyang felt a little disappointed with his friend.

When did this happen?

Still care about that little bit of reputation.

Shouldn't they get rid of their political enemies first?

Especially Zhang Wei.

As long as Zhang Wei is no longer the head of the Zhang family.

Or let Zhang Wei die in the north.

They all have room to maneuver.

As long as these two hidden dangers are eliminated.

In the Han Dynasty court, they could naturally share a lot of power.

You can even support the families behind them.

The Zhang family set a precedent for them.

Let them see another way of existence of the family.

This is something they had not reacted to before.

It has only been a few years, but the Zhang family has developed to this point.

If we have to trace it back, the Zhang family only started in the pre-Qin period.

At first, he was just a gatekeeper.

A petty official of insignificant status.

However, because of their business, the Zhang family became a prominent family.

Later, he entered the court to assist the king and protect the safety of the area.

This gave them great inspiration.

They are now in high positions.

The money in your hands naturally cannot be measured by common sense standards.

With their current position of power.

They can make the family stronger and even replace the Zhang family.

The Zhang family is now showing off its power in the Han Dynasty.

The disciples of his clan are even more invincible.

There are many talented people.

Most of the people recommended by the local authorities this time came from the Zhang family.

This is enough to show how powerful the Zhang family is.

What benefit will it bring to them if the Zhang family continues to be so powerful?
Zhang Wei must die.

The Zhang family must decline.

Only if Zhang Wei and the Zhang family pose no threat to them can they rise to prominence.

To fulfill their ambitions.

Tian Qianqiu was a little undecided after hearing this.

The whole person was struggling.

The Zhang family did pose a threat to them.

But the Zhang family did not take any action against them.

Nor did he interfere in the affairs of the big man.

He even thought about dominating the court.

And he is a very honest person.

If it weren't for his duties, he would never have been appointed as prime minister.

The best thing he did was to vindicate the prince.

It's not easy to get the power and status I have today.

He didn't want everything that happened to him to be gone.

Glancing at Sang Hongyang who was sitting next to him, Tian Qianqiu did not agree immediately, but gave him an ambiguous answer.

"Let me think about it."

Sang Hongyang understood Tian Qianqiu's concerns.

He came here just to test Tian Qianqiu's intentions.

Tian Qianqiu obviously wanted to take action against Zhang Wei and the Zhang family.

I just don't have the courage.

Knowing what the other party was thinking, Sang Hongyang could do whatever he wanted.

He had never intended to let Tian Qianqiu get involved in his affairs.

If Tian Qianqiu gets involved in his affairs, he might get into big trouble in the future.

Tian Qianqiu is a particularly cautious person.

He treated this man as a fence-sitter.

What if this person leaks the news to Zhang Wei.

That's trouble.

"In that case, I'll take my leave!"

After understanding Tian Qianqiu's intention, Sang Hongyang did not stay here, but stood up directly, bowed to the other party, turned around and left the Prime Minister's residence.

"How brave."

"It seems that what happened here may have been reported to Zhang Wei."

"With the means of Zhang Wei and the Zhang family, how could we not know that their ideas are really bizarre."

After Tian Qianqiu saw the other party leave, a shrewd look flashed across his eyes.

He was just playing dumb.

If he didn't play dumb, he might get dragged into this matter.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought of going against Zhang Wei.

I didn't even think about making things difficult for the Zhang family.

Why did he go against the Zhang family?
The Zhang family did not interfere with him.

Nor did it pose a threat to him as the prime minister.

Anyway, he is still second only to one person and above ten thousand people.

Even if there were a few more regents in the court, it would have no effect on him.

As long as he behaves himself.

If he does his job honestly, basically no one will make things difficult for him.

Zhang Wei and Zhang Xingmin were also quite familiar with him.

In short, as long as you don't commit suicide, you will definitely live to the day of retirement.

All he wants now is to live safely in his future life.

Everything he did would only be beneficial if it allowed future generations to survive.

If everyone learns from the Gongsun family.

What else to play?
The Gongsun family was once a royal family.

But in the end, didn’t His Majesty order the family to be confiscated?

If they want to become powerful, they have to judge the situation. At present, Zhang Wei is the only one in the court, and even the Grand Marshal has to avoid him. How can they compete with him?

All he had to do was turn a blind eye.

Do everything Zhang Wei asks you to do.

As long as he doesn't become an enemy of Zhang Wei, the Zhang family won't do anything to him. (End of this chapter)
