The First Family of Tang Dynasty

After Zhangsun Wuji bowed to Li Zhi, he calmly glanced at the civil and military officials in the Zhenguan Hall, and said after a pause.

"His Royal Highness, this matter is simply appalling. It involves the Crown Prince. When the envoy is sent north as soon as possible, I ask Your Majesty to make a decision.

In addition, immediately rush to Yangzhou, Jiangnan Road with the competent personnel from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Censor, and cooperate with His Royal Highness to thoroughly investigate the matter in order to find the real culprit..."

The ministers who were shocked by this news would naturally have no objection to the idea of ​​this uncle.

It was not a great effort, with the approval of the prince of the supervisory country and the second opinion of the civil and military officials.

They all passed the suggestion of Changsun Wuji very simply and neatly. After all, the assassination of His Royal Highness the Prince was such a big event.

It is not something that Li Zhi, the King of Jin, who oversees the country, can handle. Everything depends on His Majesty's wishes and needs His Majesty's decision.

Soon, a fast horse galloped out of Luoyang City and galloped straight north.

Zhangsun Wuji quickly walked out of the Zhenguan Temple, and it wasn't long before he saw a few servants who were walking slowly and whispering in a low voice.

It was a few officials from Jiangnan aristocratic families, and their expressions at the moment seemed to be very worried.

After all, this incident happened in Jiangnan, and many officials in Yangzhou City were the talents and elites of those aristocratic families in Jiangnan.

Now, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was attacked at Jiangdu Palace in Yangzhou, he was almost wiped out.

None of them had received even the slightest hint from the family before the incident.

That should prove that the matter should have nothing to do with them, but the question is, who believes these words?

At this moment, he was worried and didn't know what to do. Sun Shaoqing saw Changsun Wuji's gaze, and quickly stepped forward two steps and bowed.

"Xiaguan saw Duke Zhao, and was shocked to hear about this. It really made Xiaguan worried. Fortunately, His Royal Highness was blessed by God and was safe and sound..."

"Sun Shaoqing, what do you want to say, just say it bluntly." The eldest grandson Wuji looked at this Sun Shaoqing and said sternly.

"Mr. Zhao, the governor of Yangzhou, and the officials in Yangzhou city, most of them were imprisoned, wouldn't this be too much.

After all, Yangzhou is a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the hub of the canal. "

"And all the officials in Yangzhou have been locked up. Doesn't this make Yangzhou's affairs come to a standstill..."

#####

A few civil officials not far away stood there, watching the eldest grandson Wuji communicate with that Sun Shaoqing for a long time, and then strode away with their sleeves.

Only Sun Shaoqing was left standing dumbfounded, and the few colleagues surrounded him.

"Why, does Duke Zhao have a statement?"

"Zhao Guogong didn't answer at all, just said that everything is waiting for His Majesty's decision." Sun Shaoqing shook his head helplessly.

"Otherwise, let's all think of a way to see if we can find a way. I always feel that we really have to let the situation ferment. I'm afraid that my Jiangnan family will suffer an immeasurable hit."

"Well, think of a way. In addition, the old man will immediately send a letter to Jiangnan to let them know what happened here."

"What if they were really involved in this..."

Hearing one of them talk about the topic that everyone is most worried about, all the officials from the Jiangnan family were all dumbfounded.

If you really want to participate, I am afraid that the families in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely have their heads rolling down.

After Zhangsun Wuji boarded the carriage, he closed his eyes and closed his eyes in the carriage for a long time, until the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Zhao Guogong's mansion.

The eldest grandson Wuji got off the carriage, summoned his confidants, and commanded in a deep voice.

"Go and find that old Mr. Wang Yong Wang, tell him, and say that the old man has something important to ask him to come over to the mansion..."

"Slow, when it's getting late, you can invite him over again. The old man wants to have a good chat with him."

The confidant nodded knowingly, but he was very curious. Today, in the court hall, there was a major event such as His Royal Highness being attacked in Jiangnan Road.

My master actually still has the mind to talk to the Xingyang Zheng family in a night party, is it possible, what else is involved here?

#####

It is still in the Zheng family's manor outside Luoyang City, or in the water pavilion.

It's still that bunch of old people who are about to die. At this moment, the atmosphere in the water pavilion is obviously depressing.

"Mr. Zheng, please say something, why, isn't it just this time, let that kid get away with it?"

"I heard that those righteous people either died in battle, or committed suicide without yielding to the poison, and I have already clarified the end and the end."

"What's lost are just some idle chess secrets who were ambushed in Jiangnan in the past."

"Old Wei, having said that, but next, His Majesty will be very angry, and the families in Jiangnan will be difficult to be kind."

"Although we have already made cuts, it is difficult to guarantee that this cruel and slaughtering emperor will not bring anger to our head..."

"Hey, I don't think it's a pity for the loss of manpower, but this time we failed. We're afraid we won't be able to make a difference in a short period of time."

"How can this be good, can we really just watch next spring, and the Ministry of Rites will use the improved imperial examination system to win scholars?"

"What can be done now? The matter of the prince will definitely arouse Li Erlang's vigilance. If he wants to do it again in the future, it will be even more difficult."

"It's a pity that His Majesty asked His Royal Highness King Jin to supervise the country, not the grandson Li Xiang."

"Now, we can only take one step at a time, let's see how Your Majesty handles it, and then say other things."

"Yeah, that's all there is to it..."

Before he did it, he was still talking and laughing, and it seemed that the people of the aristocratic clan would be wiped out. At this moment, they all seemed to have their backbones taken away, and they lost the spirit of the past.

#####

At this moment, a servant from the Zheng residence, accompanied by a steward, hurried over here.

It's just that he was stopped at the entrance of the corridor, and the steward looked extremely depraved.

"Okay, then I'll wait here, and please go and report to my master, Zhao Guogong has something important to see my master, hurry up."

Hearing the title of Zhao Guogong, the steward of the Zheng family who was waiting here did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly rushed to the waterside.

The bearded Zheng Yuanshou heard the footsteps, raised his brows in displeasure, and shouted while pulling an old chrysanthemum face.

"The old man didn't say, don't disturb."

"Master, the villain is a last resort. The steward of Master Wang's mansion is here to report, saying that Duke Zhao has something important and wants to see Master Wang..."

Hearing this, Wang Yong couldn't help but stand up slowly.

"Zhangsun Wuji wants to see this old man? At this time..."
