Cui Li was surprised when he heard the boy's reply. After sending the boy away, he met with officials from several aristocratic families!
“The emperor only sent a eulogy to Liang Zan, and there was no other reward.”
"It seems that the emperor is a bit ungrateful. Liang Zan worked hard for him. Now that his father is dead, the emperor shows no sign at all and doesn't even give him a posthumous title? With Liang Zan's contribution to the Western Regions, his father Liang Min should have
It’s only right to receive honors after death, which an emperor should give to a Wuchang doctor!”
When a family member of an important minister dies, the emperor should express his condolences, which is also an act to win people's hearts.
Even the emperor is familiar with this routine.
But Zhu Youde said nothing, he was simply callous and heartless.
Someone immediately laughed: "I'm afraid our emperor doesn't know how to be an emperor. Our family is the cornerstone of the world. Zhu Youde didn't put me in high regard, but let Feng Bogong, Feng Yuyue, He Qingfeng and other unknown people occupy the position of minister."
It is simply perverse to take the position. Now that Liang Min has passed away, he is still so stingy and stingy. I am afraid that everyone in the world will be upset and know what kind of person he is!"
"Haha, if this is not in line with our intentions, then the emperor will know who to trust?"
"That's great. Liang Min died at the right time!"
These officials became more and more excited as they thought about it, but Cui Li didn't say anything. Instead, he frowned: "Who knows what's going on over there in Hedong? What's going on specifically?"
In fact, until now, no one except a few people knows the specific situation!
Even Zhu Youde also guessed that Liang Min was forced to die.
The letter written by the Liang family in Hedong to Liang Zan did not say how Liang Min died, it just said suicide!
It's just that many times when you are in a game, you don't need any evidence at all, just association is enough!
Cui Li wanted to know how the Liang family in Hedong forced Liang Min to death, who did it, and how. The Liang family in Hedong forced his disciples to death as a show of goodwill to the family, but the interactions between the families are mutually beneficial!
If the Hedong Liang family does things like this, then other aristocratic families need to provide corresponding benefits!
After all, Liang Min's death was not for the Liang family, but for the entire aristocratic family.
And Cui Li wanted to know even more, where did the Liang family in Hedong get the courage to force Liang Zan's father to death, knowing that the emperor liked Liang Zan highly?
This kind of courage is not something that ordinary families can have, but the Hedong Liang family is obviously just a small family.
Whoever gave them the courage to offend the emperor at this time, even the Cui family would not dare.
Several officials from aristocratic families heard the hidden meaning of Cui Li's words and understood the strangeness in it!
"That's right. How dare the Liang family in Hedong dare to offend the emperor at this time? Wang Po has returned from the northwest with his new army and is on the way now. The emperor's authority is now strong. How come the Liang family is not afraid of being exterminated?"
"The head of the Liang family, Liang Zha, is of mediocre talent, and he is not a man of such courage. This is very suspicious, and our family did not receive any information in advance."
Cui Li said: "There are many doubts about Liang Min's death. We can think of it, but the emperor may not have thought of it. Our majesty seems to be dissolute and immoral, but Lu Shengzhi is capable of supporting the emperor. Doesn't this explain the problem? Lu Shengzhi, this old fox, who are you and me?
How can you still be unclear?"
The officials of the Aristocratic Family nodded one after another. The Aristocratic Family has the most advanced information and talent pool in the world!
Apart from Zhu Youde, Lu Shengzhi's resume was the one they knew the most about.
Zhu Youde visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Lu Shengzhi to serve as an official. The purpose of this was very clear to these people. It was simply that the emperor wanted to buy horses with a lot of money, which was not important to them.
Emperors have been doing this since ancient times. As long as this person is useful, it is only appropriate for the emperor to give him some courtesy!
But Lu Shengzhi is an old fox. Although he came to Jinling, he just taught and educated people and did not interfere in government affairs. But today he is full of firepower. It is clear that he wants to support Zhu Youde to the death!
This is taking a stand.
The emperor must have said something to Lu Shengzhi, and what he said may be related to the future of the family.
But these officials from aristocratic families can’t see through it!
They all knew what Zhu Youde had done, but they couldn't figure out what Zhu Youde was doing after thinking about it a hundred times.
"I heard that Shangfang Mansion is promoting flying shuttle looms. The emperor decreed the establishment of a royal weaving office and plans to use flying shuttle looms. Could it be that the emperor wants to make money?"
"But 30% of an Imperial Academy's annual income must be given to the inner palace, which is tens of millions of silver. Isn't that enough for the emperor?"
"Now, I thought that our aristocratic family has a lot of business, and everyone is doing business in silk and linen cloth. Now the emperor has started to get involved. Is he trying to suppress our business?"
The family officials thought it was very possible, but they also thought it was funny.
The world has almost a monopoly on the world's fabric business. Can Zhu Youde do what he wants?
They can come up with countless ways to defeat the Royal Shang Fang Mansion in a matter of minutes!
Immediately, someone laughed: "The emperor is really naive. We can make him quit this business with just a few tricks."
"As for the flying shuttle, it can also make him stillborn!"
Everyone thought it was right, the emperor was completely unworthy!
Cui Li suddenly said: "Idiot, are you just looking at the present? Although we don't care about the emperor's royal weaving, but think about the Imperial College allowing merchants to enroll, and think about the royal weaving, haven't you realized that this is the emperor's layout!"
"By allowing merchants to enroll in school, the emperor can win over the hearts of merchants all over the world and use them to his advantage. Then it will not be the emperor who competes with us, but those peddlers and scumbag merchants. These people will definitely listen to the emperor and fight against us!"
Cui Li took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He was a little frightened by his own thoughts: "This must be the case, so Lu Shengzhi did not hesitate to put forward such suggestions today, regardless of his face."
"What? So that's it?"
"What a good thing!"
"Don't worry, everyone. Fortunately, we have Mr. Cui. Since Mr. Cui has seen through the emperor's plan, he must have a way to deal with it, right?"
The family officials who were worried at first calmed down after hearing this!
Since Cui Li has thought of it, he must have an idea!
Suddenly everyone looked at Cui Li as if this man was the savior!
Cui Li nodded slightly, enjoying the attention being paid to him: "Haha, our Majesty is naive. Yes, I already have an idea!"
"Please also let Cui Gong announce it!"
Cui Li was reserved and smiled slightly: "I will pay to buy out the shuttle looms, so that the royal family will have no shuttles to use. I heard that Shang Fang Mansion only produces ten shuttles a month. What do you think?
I think, without the shuttle, how can we still have royal weaving? In this way, we won’t offend the emperor too much, and we can also demonstrate the strength of our family and kill two birds with one stone!”
