"What a good person who is not destroyed or established! Well said!"
Emperor Gan Wu's eyes flashed, and he was very excited, feeling that he had been too cautious over the years.
Blindly tolerant will only make the eight major families more capable.
If he doesn't destroy these aristocratic families now and let them become bigger and stronger, wouldn't the situation of his later successor be even more difficult?
If the successor is weak and incompetent, wouldn’t it be allowed to be controlled by the eight major families?
For a moment, Emperor Gan Wu had already made a decision in his mind and decided to change his original strategy for treating the eight major families.
At the same time, he was also considering a problem.
That is, if the eight aristocratic families cannot be eliminated during his lifetime, which prince can inherit his will and have the courage to fight these aristocratic families?
Li Ji obviously couldn't do it. As a prince, he actually agreed to Li Changfeng's apology to the Zhao family. He was a cartilage.
Li Chengye didn't speak throughout the whole process, obviously because he wanted to keep a low profile, but he was not enterprising enough, and was too cautious, which was not suitable.
Then the only suitable one now seems to be Li Changfeng.
At this time, Emperor Gan Wu had already had an idea about the candidate for the position of crown prince.
However, Li Changfeng was not involved in government affairs and military affairs, and he had to temper his skills in the future before he could take on a great task.
These thoughts flashed through Emperor Gan Wu's mind. The most important thing now is to deal with the eight major families.
Emperor Gan Wu looked at Li Changfeng with admiration and said, "I am very pleased that you have such a courage. Since you want to deal with the eight aristocratic families, I will support you, just let it go!"
Li Changfeng grinned: "Father, you support me, my son must find a way to get rid of these cancers."
Li Changfeng was very happy.
He was afraid that Emperor Wu would be cautious and keep a low profile, to prevent him from taking action against the Zhao family, and to restrain him everywhere.
Since he supports him, he can let go of his hands and feet and deal with the Zhao family.
As for the other seven aristocratic families, he would not bother to pay attention to it as long as he did not provoke him.
So what if they pass on their heritage for a long time?
By the time he brought his big responsibilities into the industrial era and mastered the latest production technology, these old powerful people in the farming era will soon be eliminated by the times, and he will not even need to take action.
The wave of the times cannot be stopped by a few families.
After Li Changfeng left the palace, Emperor Gan Wu looked at Gao Dali: "I asked me to investigate the Zhao family's industry. What are the tricks?"
Gao Dali said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, there are naturally some Maogui, but so what if there isn't? I'll create some for them!"
"Okay!" Emperor Gan Wu smiled coldly, "Check all the Zhao family's industries in the capital, and all the silver obtained is included in the national treasury!"
Since accepting Li Changfeng's suggestion and adopting the suggestion of fighting against the barbarians, everything has been going well so far.
But as the weather turns colder, it is hard to say what happened next. Maybe it would require the support of the state treasury, which is a huge expense. It just happened to use the Zhao family to raise money in case of emergency needs.
As Emperor Gan Wu's sword, Gao Dali naturally obeyed the order and bowed and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, I'll do it now!"
Soon, Gao Dali fabricated a series of charges and searched all the Zhao family's industries in the capital, almost as if they were digging three feet of the ground and emptied all the valuable things.
Such a big disturbance immediately caused a huge sensation in the capital. All the powerful and nobles were silent and secretly worried that the eight major families would go to war with the royal family.
Emperor Gan Wu's strength exceeded everyone's expectations.
At the same time, the reason why Emperor Gan Wu attacked the Zhao family was also quietly spread among the people, saying that the Zhao family bought the murderer and assassinated the ninth prince Li Changfeng, which made Long Yan furious.
For a moment, all the powerful and powerful knew it and became more vigilant about the eight major families.
They even dared to assassinate the prince, so what else did they dare not do?
Li Changfeng had a very high prestige among the people. When he learned the news, the people in the capital were very angry and scolded the Zhao family for being crazy and the eight major families were too arrogant and domineering.
What is the people's hearts clear at a glance.
For a time, the Zhao family and the eight major families were pushed to the forefront, and everyone criticized the city and caused a storm.
What's strange is that the official did not investigate the Zhao family's murder and remained silent.
This is the best way to stay at the forefront of Emperor Gan Wu, and he did not want to force the eight major families to unite to launch a comprehensive confrontation. The best way to defeat them is to defeat them one by one.
Seeing that the matter was developing in an uncontrollable direction, Zhao Zhijing, the elder of the Zhao family, did not dare to make a decision, so he reported the matter to the head of the Zhao family.
Zhao Tianquan, the head of the Zhao family, was furious when he learned the whole story. He pointed at Zhao Zhijing's nose and cursed: "Baolish! It's simply waste! If you can't do such a thing, what can you do? My eight major families have always secretly controlled every dynasty, but you pushed them. When you reach the forefront and are afraid of by the people of the world, what should you blame?!"
Zhao Zhijing felt so frustrated!
He didn't think he was wrong in what he did. He just assassinated a prince. They had done it before, so what was it?
Zhao Zhijing couldn't understand how Li Changfeng knew that it was their Zhao family who bought the murderer. Feng Shiye, the palace master of Luohua Palace, replied that no news was leaked at all.
This situation was something he had never expected. The strong courage shown by Emperor Gan Wu was unexpected.
He did not dare to refute the head of the family, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "I didn't expect things to develop to such a point."
Zhao Tianquan snorted coldly and did not care about this matter. He walked back and forth in the room with his hands on his back, and said in a indifferent tone: "Emperor Gan Wu is demonstrating, and assassinating the prince has violated his bottom line."
Zhao Zhijing said coldly: "Since that's the case, we will have a good relationship with other families and unite to teach him some lessons!"
Zhao Tianquan glared at Zhao Zhijing and said, "Silly! Just this is the case, do you think other aristocratic families will use their weapons?"
The eight major families appear to be in the same spirit, but in fact they also have competition in secret. They must be happy to hear the Zhao family’s defeat, and the situation is far from developing to the point where they can unite.
Unless Emperor Gan Wu takes action against more aristocratic families, this is obviously impossible.
Zhao Zhijing gritted his teeth and said, "This time our losses were about 300,000 taels of silver. Could it be that we just let it go?"
Zhao Tianquan smiled coldly and said, "Of course not! If we take a step back, Emperor Gan Wu dares to take two steps and must make a counterattack!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Tianquan paused for a moment and said solemnly: "Two things, first, urge the Luohua Palace Palace Master to kill Li Changfeng as soon as possible. Is it okay to promise that the Zhao family's affairs cannot be completed!"
"Second, if you send someone to investigate the artillery battalion, you can be more bold. You don't have to be as cautious as before. Anyway, your face is broken. I want to see what Emperor Gan Wu has to rely on to dare to treat my Zhao family like this!"
"You can arrange these two things yourself, and make sure you are foolproof, do you know?"
