Volume Two: The Wind and Cloud in Kyoto Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-two
"Sir, if the eldest prince knows about our trip to Beijing..."
"Don't worry, no one knows that we have entered the capital. Besides, no matter how powerful the eldest prince is, the capital is not his territory! The people above have discussed it with me before coming here this time. As long as I follow their instructions, I will be guaranteed to be an official in the court.
!Hmph! With my ability, staying in that small Sunan County is really a bit underwhelming!"
"That's right! Your Majesty's political ability is beyond words. With your ability, it's easy to be an official in the government!"
Just as he was talking, the carriages and horses of the master and servant arrived in the capital.
"Get off the car, remember what I said?"
"Remember, if there is no news from you in three days, please give this thing to the eldest prince!"
The servant patted the package in his hand.
"Well, sir, my life is in your hands!"
"Please don't worry, sir!"
After saying that, the servant watched the gentleman's carriage disappear down the official road! And he took off his twin wheels and headed towards the prosperous Kyoto.
Not long after, the Tingwei Mansion in Kyoto received a special case.
Someone sued the Lee Chamber of Commerce for indulging in human life.
It is unclear whether the Lee Chamber of Commerce took human life seriously, but the accuser died mysteriously and tragically at home the next day.
Now, the Tingwei Mansion, which originally needed to collect evidence and investigate the cause, did not need to be so troublesome. Li Shan, the head of the Li Chamber of Commerce in the capital, was immediately arrested!
This Li Shan is also quite unlucky. Like Yun Xian, the shopkeeper of Yunlailou, he was promoted from Sunan.
Airborne heads of chambers of commerce like them will naturally offend the vested interests of the original heads of chambers of commerce.
Li Shan also knew this, but it was a pity that he was not as lucky as Yun Xian. With the help of Huang Zhang and Su Nu,
Before Li Shan could figure out what murder the Li Chamber of Commerce had committed, the person who reported the crime died again.
Now, even if he jumped into the Sichuan River, he would not be able to escape.
The people from Tingwei Mansion immediately took Li Shan under control.
The people in Tingwei Mansion are naturally clean and tidy in doing things. Since he died while suing you, Li Shan, then his death is naturally inseparable from Li Shan!
At this time, the Li Chamber of Commerce immediately cut off from Li Shan and declared that Li Shan would no longer be a member of the Li Chamber of Commerce from now on!
This time, Li Shan was completely abandoned, and Li Shan felt desperate.
In addition, the people in Tingwei's mansion began to impose severe punishments. Li Shan couldn't bear it and confessed everything he knew.
Later, Tingwei Song Cang, who was supposed to stay in Tingwei's Mansion, was hurriedly walking to the palace.
Tingwei Song Cang's behavior made Huangmenlang Cao Jie confused.
Usually he didn't see Song Cang so anxious, as if something big had happened.
Something big is indeed going to happen.
After Song Cang attacked, he immediately found His Majesty the Emperor and told him what Li Shan had confessed under severe punishment.
If only Li Shan had confessed, Song Cang would not have lost his composure now. The most important thing is that Song Cang got a piece of news from Li Shan! News related to the eldest prince!
According to Li Shan's account, the eldest prince managed a Linjiang City while he was in Sunan, and while running Linjiang City, the eldest prince did something earth-shattering!
Private law!
This is the news he got from Li Shan himself. According to Li Shan, all the people in Linjiang City can testify to this news. After all, the eldest prince was able to promulgate his private laws in the first place!
"Furthermore, the eldest prince also said that if there is a conflict between the private laws and the laws of the country, the private laws will prevail!"
Hearing Song Cang's words, the emperor's face looked very ugly!
It would be fine if this was made up, but it doesn't look like it was made up. Besides, Song Cang has sent people to verify it, and the results will surely be available soon.
But in the final analysis, although this matter seems serious, it is not that important. At most, it makes people think that the eldest prince is acting more like Meng Lang.
But the matter of private law is the power that only the emperor has! The eldest prince had already shown such ambitions when he was still in Sunan?
Of course, if it is just a private law, it is not enough.
Song Cang also got another big news from Li Shan!
"The eldest prince is recruiting troops privately in Linjiang City?" The emperor thought he heard wrongly.
"Weichen personally learned this from Li Shan, and here is the testimony signed by Li Shan!"
With that said, Song Cang took out Li Shan's confession from his arms!
There were private laws in the past, and private armies later.
This is a rebellion!
No wonder Song Cang was so frightened, this matter was no longer within his control.
After reading Li Shan's testimony, the emperor's face turned pale. He never thought that Huang Zhang turned out to be such a person!
"Let's take this Li Shan into custody first. When he comes back, I will confront him again!"
I thought the matter would end just like that, but then someone from Queen Pingnan came to Beijing to complain, saying that the eldest prince used his military power to slander King Pingnan for colluding with foreign countries.
It was said that the eldest prince used his military power to suddenly attack King Pingnan and assassinate King Pingnan!
Assassinating the royal family? Even if you are the eldest prince, assassinating the royal family is a serious crime!
As soon as this news spread, it immediately caused a stir.
Dr. Guanglu of the imperial court and officials of Honglu Temple jointly submitted a memorial, requesting justice for King Pingnan!
Now, if the emperor wanted to protect Huang Zhang, he would have to consider whether it was worth it.
Mainly because he didn't expect that Huang Zhang could experience so many things in one year!
And not only that, after the Queen of Pingnan reported it, Taiwei Liang Qian sent three more pieces of news!
The first one: The eldest prince colluded with the barbarians when he was in Sunan, and gave 10,000 people from Su's army to the barbarians as gifts, begging for survival. Now these 10,000 people are still in the hands of the barbarians.
Second: The rumors from the outside that the eldest prince led the Qianya Army to defeat the barbarian army are not true. The fact is that the eldest prince colluded with the barbarians and betrayed Sunan! If you don’t believe it, you can just send someone to go to Sunan. Now Sunan
Barbarians are everywhere, which is evidence of collusion between the eldest prince and the barbarians!
The third one: After the eldest prince colluded with the barbarians, he secretly opened an encore in Sunan, recruited young scholars as officials, and gave these people official positions. This was considered an act of overstepping his authority! In Sunan, the eldest prince was just like a little emperor!
Of course, Liang Qian did not check this information by himself, nor was he so bored that he went to Sunan to check on the eldest prince.
All this news comes from a person who was once taken care of by the eldest prince Enke: Mi Dong.
Mi Dong was an official personally appointed by Huang Zhang, so Mi Dong was naturally familiar with the inside story.
From his mouth, he described in detail what the eldest prince did in Sunan in front of all the court officials!
The more he listened, the uglier his face became.
The ministers below all look like this!
