Chapter 255: The Prince is a man who must take revenge
Zhang Liang's meaning is very simple.
You, Chen Changfeng, have a grudge against Luo Wen, and Luo Wen is not just a small figure in the Ming Empire.
When war breaks out in various countries around the world, it is inevitable that Luo Wang will be the first to take action against Chen Changfeng.
The implication was that Chen Changfeng would take the initiative to speak up and cooperate with them.
Chen Changfeng had plans to cooperate with Liusha, but only because it would reduce his time to recruit top talents.
Even if Zhang Liang's understanding of the current situation was correct, Chen Changfeng would not unscrupulously think that everything he said was right.
"Brother Zhang came all the way to Yizhou, you can't just tell me these things, right?" Chen Changfeng said calmly.
To put it bluntly, what Luo Wang will do to him has nothing to do with Zhang Liang or Liusha.
Chen Changfeng didn't want to deal with people who were too rich.
Especially such people may be their allies.
At that time, not only will you be plotted by your enemies, but you may even be plotted by your allies.
"Well, since His Highness the Crown Prince said so, I won't hide it. I hope Liusha can cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhang Liang couldn't stay in the dark with Chen Changfeng.
Although the world's chaos is approaching, it will definitely come after his quicksand is caught in a snare.
If Liusha didn't unite with Chen Changfeng, he would probably be trapped and gradually disintegrated.
This is also the reason why Zhang Liang took the initiative to come to Yizhou.
Chen Changfeng can wait, but Zhang Liang cannot.
Luowang's pursuit of Quicksand members has not stopped recently.
"Brother Zhang, I wish I had said so earlier." Chen Changfeng smiled slightly, making Zhang Liang stunned for a while.
Before Zhang Liang could recover, he heard Chen Changfeng say again: "Of course there is no problem with cooperation. The question is, how do we cooperate, and what benefits can I get from cooperation."
Zhang Liang knew in his heart that Chen Changfeng had been waiting for him here for a long time.
However, he was already prepared: "I heard that the prince established the Imperial City Division, and there must be a lack of experts among them. The core members of Liusha can help carry out difficult tasks, and in exchange, the prince needs to ensure their safety in the Ming Empire."
"As for what benefits the prince can get, the quicksand people are all masters, and they will definitely increase the prince's prestige."
Zhang Liang said everything, but it was equivalent to saying nothing.
With the quicksand master stationed in the Imperial City Division, has Chen Changfeng's prestige increased?
Does that mean that these members of Quicksand are just here to help you improve your prestige?
prestige?
Do you need this thing for yourself?
What he needs is top-notch combat power that he can mobilize at any time.
He is a super master who says what he says and executes it at all costs.
prestige?
It's better to give more money to beggars outside.
"I came to see Brother Zhang today with the intention of having an equal exchange of opinions. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed."
"What I need is not the appearance. In two days, I will return to the capital. If Brother Zhang reconsiders, he can come look for me again."
"Farewell." Chen Changfeng smiled slightly, stood up and left.
Zhang Liang opened his mouth, but did not call out to Chen Changfeng.
He knew that his words made Chen Changfeng dissatisfied, but if Liusha listened to Chen Changfeng in everything, would Liusha still be Liusha?
"Senior brother, are the talks over so quickly?"
"What did the boy say? Did he agree?" As soon as Chen Changfeng left, Qi Yue walked into the room.
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Chen Changfeng is already good at calculating, and it would not be so easy to plot against him.
Moreover, they are the anxious ones.
"Is Liu Miaomiao still begging you to teach her martial arts?" Zhang Liang asked suddenly.
"Yes, I come here every day. I have clearly told her that with her physical condition, she will not be able to survive learning martial arts..."
"Go and teach her now." Zhang Liang interrupted Liu Miaomiao.
"Senior brother..."
"Go ahead, this is an order." Zhang Liang waved his hand.
This decision made Qi Yue very puzzled.
…
Capital City of the Ming Dynasty, Ministry of Punishment.
The second prince appeared in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice with an expressionless face.
Du Shangshu, the leader of the Ministry of Punishment, rushed over and said, "I pay homage to His Highness the Second Highness."
The second prince hurriedly helped Du Shangshu up, with a smile on his face: "Du Shangshu has worked hard, I am here today to take a look."
Du Shangshu didn't even dare to say so, and quickly asked someone to bring tea.
The second prince was still very influential among the civil servants in the court, and Du Shangshu did not dare to neglect the second prince.
The second prince drank tea and suddenly asked about Chen Qingzhi as if by accident: "Du Shangshu, Chen Qingzhi was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment Prison the day before yesterday. How is he doing now?"
When the second prince asked about Chen Qingzhi, Du Shangshu quickly explained: "His Majesty only ordered Chen Qingzhi to be imprisoned in prison, so I ordered him to be put in a cell alone."
"Du Shangshu is confused." The second prince said suddenly, making Du Shangshu confused.
"Chen Qingzhi is the sixth brother, and he has made great achievements on the front line a few days ago. If my father attacks Chen Qingzhi at this time, people will inevitably wonder if he is afraid of Chen Qingzhi's military exploits."
"If the father doesn't tell us, why don't we ministers know how to do things?"
"What did Chen Qingzhi do? He secretly mobilized the black armored guards. This is a serious crime of beheading. Du Shangshu really just locked him up and did nothing?" The second prince spoke again, which made Du Shangshu feel a little surprised.
Du Shangshu always felt strange.
How could such a serious crime as mobilizing troops without permission be locked up in the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice?
He couldn't understand it before, but now it's clear.
Is the Emotional Emperor waiting for his Ministry of Punishment to take action?
But if he really takes action against Chen Qingzhi, wouldn't he offend the prince again?
The prince, even the second prince and the third prince are no match for him. If he is taken care of by the prince, will he still have a way to survive?
"Your Highness is right, but Chen Qingzhi belongs to the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince is bound to retaliate. If he attacks Chen Qingzhi, I will be worried..."
"No matter how powerful the prince is, can he be more powerful than his father?" The second prince immediately interrupted Du Shangshu's words.
Even so, there was no personal order from the emperor in this matter. How many lives did Du Shangshu have to dare to do such a risky thing?
"Although I feel that what His Highness the Second Highness said is reasonable, I still feel that it is risky. In this way, I will go and find out what His Majesty says. If it is true..."
"Father, don't go there. If you don't dare, let my people go in and deal with Chen Qingzhi. Just pretend you don't know anything." The second prince quickly interrupted Du Shangshu.
This was the book he used to fool Du Shangshu. If it reached the ears of the emperor, wouldn't the second prince be shooting himself in the foot again?
Anyone who can sit in the position of Minister of Punishment is not a fool.
After hearing what the second prince said, there was nothing Du Shangshu didn't understand.
But he would not offend the second prince, and said hurriedly: "It's okay for His Highness's people to go see Chen Qingzhi, but they must guarantee his life."
Du Shangshu was worried that if the second prince directly killed Chen Qingzhi in the Penal Department Prison, wouldn't he be crushed by Chen Changfeng?
Even if Chen Changfeng didn't take care of himself, a single charge of dereliction of duty would be enough for him to die without a burial place like Du Shangshu.
"Don't worry." The second prince looked unhappy.
Du Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was one of the only neutral civil servants in the court.
As expected, he is not his own person, and it is not pleasant to do things.
The second prince was already considering taking the opportunity to let the emperor replace the old guy, the Minister of Punishment.
