Chapter 169: Leakage King
Zhang Gaoqiu is suspicious by nature.
After he analyzed this result, he began to suspect that his daughter learned about it from Li Yingning's mouth, so Li Yingning naturally knew about it from her father Li Yanxing.
Could it be that there is some collusion between Li Yanxing and the Sixth Prince?
The prince formed a clique with foreign ministers for personal gain, which was the most taboo thing for the emperor.
What's more, Li Yanxing is a powerful general with heavy troops.
Could it be that the Sixth Prince is going to rebel?
Zhang Gaoqiu couldn't sit still.
Recently, he has been busy with the suppression of Japanese pirates along the southeast coast and has not paid much attention to these matters in the court.
"Someone is coming!"
Zhang Gaoqiu immediately called his confidants and asked him to check the recent movements of the princes, focusing on the sixth prince and Li Yanxing.
It didn't take long for him to find out that the Sixth Prince had been busy converting rice into mulberry in Zhehai.
Speaking of which, if the conversion of rice to mulberry is successful, it will be good for him.
Because the purpose of changing rice to mulberry was to allow the court to make more money, including military expenses.
If the Sixth Prince succeeds in such an important matter, his favorability in front of the Emperor will naturally increase.
The subordinates also reported that Li Yanxing's eldest son, Li Fucheng, is also in Zhejiang, assisting the sixth prince.
Zhang Gaoqiu quickly remembered that the sixth prince had proposed to marry Li Yanxing's daughter last year.
Although it was unsuccessful, it was enough to show that the sixth prince and Li Yanxing were close to each other.
If this continues, once the Sixth Prince succeeds in ascending the throne, Li Yanxing will be able to follow the dragon's footsteps and will surely dominate the Shu Prince's Palace in the future.
Zhang Gaoqiu secretly hated it.
Who told him that he didn't give birth to a good son who could work for the Sixth Prince on his behalf?
He also failed to give birth to a lovable daughter who could be admired by the Sixth Prince.
Thinking of his daughter's temperament, Zhang Gaoqiu is also self-aware.
It is impossible for the sixth prince to take the initiative to propose marriage.
Then she had no choice but to let herself, as a father, help her.
Although Zhang Gaoqiu didn't know exactly why Li Yan refused the sixth prince's proposal of marriage, since he didn't want it, he wouldn't be polite.
Of course, he could also instruct his censors to read a copy of the Sixth Prince and Li Yanxing to retaliate against them.
But Zhang Gaoqiu would not do this.
Not to mention whether the probability of success is high, offending the Sixth Prince and Li Yanxing at the same time is not that easy to do.
Doing so is purely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.
Zhang Gaoqiu believed that a better approach would be to marry his daughter to the sixth prince and form a marriage relationship with him.
In this way, no matter how much Li Yan did for the sixth prince, his relationship with him would never be as close as his father-in-law.
Zhang Gaoqiu felt happy when he thought that Li Yanxing worked desperately for the Sixth Prince and promoted him to that position, but the final benefit went to the Shu Palace.
Without further ado.
Zhang Gaoqiu immediately divided his troops into three groups.
He sent people to pay money to the eunuchs around the queen and Ye Guiren, and instructed them to speak for this matter.
At the same time, he took the news sent by the fast horse from the southeast and went to meet the emperor.
The recent movements of the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast are unknown. It is said that they are likely to launch a large-scale attack, occupy the coastal trade routes, and massacre the people.
This was a serious concern for the emperor. After hearing the news, the emperor was obviously irritable and restless.
