Di Renjie and Bao Zheng began to investigate the affairs behind the families. The wealthy families in the imperial capital were all doing their best to conquer the Ziyun Empire.
Tracing back to the source, it turns out that the foundation of the clan's power is actually in Ziwei County. Those people claim to be relatives of the emperor. With the continuous growth of the Chu State, they have mushroomed rapidly.
In the royal study.
Chu Feifan looked at Di Renjie and the memorial handed over by Bao Zheng, his face filled with anger. There was a loud bang and the memorial was slapped on the wooden table in front of him.
"A royal relative?"
"Mongolian clan?"
"joke!"
"There have never been any royal clansmen in my world. In the past, they had no sympathy at all and stood idly by when the Chu country was in its most difficult times. Now that the country has become more powerful, they have begun to dominate and dominate. How can this be unreasonable?"
A cold voice sounded and a cold light flickered. Chu Feifan's eyes stayed on Di Renjie and Bao Zheng. He thought for a long time and glanced sideways at Xiao Guizi.
"Send an order to General Meng Ye and ask him to come to the Imperial Study Room immediately!"
"Wait a minute, let Shen Wansan, the No. 1 owner of the village in the world, come with us. I have important matters that I need him to resolve!"
Xiao Guizi stood up and left, and Chu Feifan secretly calculated in his heart that the reason why this Meng family member could be so domineering was not because Meng Ye held a high position in the court.
For Chu Feifan, Meng Ye's status was indeed special. Not only did he have the status of an uncle, but he was also the first minister to support him when Chu was besieged on all sides and was in danger.
Although he is a time traveler, he still has some feelings for Meng Ye. Since he has to deal with the affairs of the Meng clan, Meng Ye is the best choice. Let him come forward and everything will have unexpected results.
Ziwei City was originally the imperial capital of the Chu State, and the family roots of the veteran general Jiuchen of the Chu State were still there. He didn't want this matter to be made public and cause a fuss, so it was best to resolve it privately. If someone was ignorant of current affairs, he could also use tough iron-blooded methods. Make them submit.
for a long time.
Meng Ye, dressed in court uniform, strode into the royal study, fisted in greeting, Chu Feifan raised his hand to signal him to stand down, and asked straight to the point.
"General Meng, the Meng family is arrogant and powerful in Ziwei City as a royal family. Now that the country is in trouble, they refuse to do anything. How do you think the general should deal with such a person who doesn't know how to promote?"
Hear the sound.
Meng Ye's expression was startled, and a flash of panic flashed across his eyes. He had already given a subtle reminder to the Meng clan in Ziwei County, telling them not to be enemies of Emperor Chu.
But now the leader of the Meng family is Meng Ye's third uncle, who Chu Feifan has never met his mother. This man is a philistine and greedy for profit. In the past, because the Chu State was on the verge of collapse, he had already drawn a clear line with the Chu State.
It’s just that he never dreamed that the Chu State would rise so powerfully under the leadership of Chu Feifan. After moving its capital to Huxiao City, Ziwei County was too far away from the emperor, and he began to use his identity to dominate Ziwei County. blessing.
The State of Chu is currently collecting grain from all over the country, and all the county guards are busy preparing for it. Ziwei County has not been devastated by the war, and has been recuperating for almost a year and is quite prosperous.
But all the money and food are in the hands of the powerful families, and the leader is the Meng family. They use their subtle relationship with the queen, and Meng Ye is the general of the dynasty. In Ziwei County, they can cover the sky with one hand, and all the wealthy families look to them for their leadership. .
"Your Majesty, the affairs of the Meng family have been heard a little bit by some ministers. I have been told many times by ministers in the past days to ask them to restrain their behavior."
"Usually, marketers are greedy for profit and don't care about affection. I don't want to have too much involvement with them. But if you are so confused when it comes to important matters of home and country, you will never be tolerated."
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is willing to go to Ziwei County with Master Di and Master Bao. Wei Chen will give the Emperor a satisfactory answer regarding the Meng clan."
"Okay, since Qing Meng has said this, I will leave this time to you. I believe that Qing Qing will not hide anything. As for whether to kill or keep him, the three Qing Qings will decide on their own."
"But I have a request. No sects or factions can appear in our land of Chu!"
"We understand and will obey the emperor's order!"
The three of them raised their fists in greeting, their eyes full of respect. The kingly aura on Chu Feifan's body now naturally showed that he was not angry and had authority.
The three of them were just about to leave when Shen Wansan asked to see him outside the palace. Chu Feifan chuckled lightly and said: "My dear friends, if you go to Ziwei County to deal with the clan affairs, there will be a lot of inconvenience, so I specially sent Shen Wansan. I will go with you, and if there is anything inconvenient for the court to do, I will leave it to the No. 1 Village in the World to handle."
"The No. 1 village in the world, with business all over the country, I believe there is no industry that they cannot swallow up."
The eyes of the three people stayed on Shen Wansan. Meng Ye did not expect that the No. 1 village in the world, which was famous in Chu State, was actually related to Emperor Chu. He knew the meaning of Chu Feifan's words just now, and now he wanted to make the No. 1 village in the world Swallow all the industries behind each valve.
After the four people left the Imperial Study Room, Chu Feifan felt relieved. With Meng Ye personally taking care of the matter, and the wealthy Shen Wansan, he believed that the clan affair would soon come to an end, and the money and food raised would be put into the treasury immediately.
The money and food of the Five Cities and Eighteen Passes and the Northern Han Palace have become his worry during this period. Now that he has a clear idea, he can finally relax and have time to think about the military affairs of Ziyun and Liang.
for a long time.
Xiao Guizi hurriedly entered the imperial study, raised his hand and handed a scroll to Chu Feifan, saying: "Your Majesty, the secret guard sent back the news from Longcheng."
"Um!"
With a soft hum, he opened the scroll in his hand and stared at the words on it, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"The King of Ziyun revived his old generals, the Yang Clan was reused, and the Liang Kingdom withdrew its 200,000 troops, leaving only 100,000 in Dragon City."
Looking at the two messages on the scroll in his hand, Chu Feifan felt a hint of conspiracy, and from time to time a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, the King of Ziyun cannot have such a plan. Restarting the long-term generals and rectifying the conduct of the three armies will undoubtedly improve the combat effectiveness of the Ziyun Army. However, Li Chong is mediocre and ignorant and only loves wine and sex. How could he have such a plan? Such a profound strategy.
In addition, Liang Guo's 100,000 troops are stationed in Longcheng, the imperial capital of Ziyun. If Li Chong has the wisdom to restart his old generals, then he definitely knows how to let others sleep peacefully under his bed.
Therefore, Chu Feifan is very sure that Li Chong is now controlled by Liang Guo, and Liang Guo is behind all of this.
He didn't pay much attention to Liang's 100,000-strong army, but he was more afraid of the Yang family. It was easy to get a thousand armies but it was hard to find a general. But on the contrary, the Yang family were all brave and good generals.
If they meet the Chu State on the battlefield, it will be greatly difficult for the Chu army to defeat Ziyun.
"Xiao Guizi, hurry up and send an order to Yang Yansi to return to the imperial capital immediately."
