After suffering such a big loss in Dai Kingdom, Liu Xian still did not put Liu Deng on an equal footing with himself until now.
This incident really left Yang Shengdu speechless, but after all, he was just a counselor, and it was not convenient to say anything more at this time.
Because of his previous mistakes, Liu Xian is now in such a situation. If he speaks more fiercely at this time, he may completely lose Liu Xian's trust.
"Your Highness, this matter has almost spread throughout the city. I'm afraid there will be changes tomorrow morning, so please be aware of it!"
If he didn't say something so important, he would feel like a stick in his throat.
"I understand, sir, please go down first!"
Liu Xian waved his hand gloomily, signaling Yang Sheng to go out.
Just as Yang Sheng worried, Liu Xian didn't believe a word he said.
By doing something to the point where he is now, he can be regarded as the most benevolent person. Although he has made mistakes in the past, at least he can be regarded as loyal.
But unlike what Yang Sheng thought, Liu Xian still harbors illusions. King Wu Liu Bi has indeed spent a lot of money in Shangjing City over the years, and the clansmen up and down here have indeed been fed by them. .
However, Liu Xian still doesn't understand that people who can use their interests as treasures, how can they hesitate when greater interests are placed in front of them?
Although the blueprint Liu Deng hung up seems to be just a big pie now, if the emperor takes three components from it, then this big pie is likely to become a reality.
This will be a devastating blow to the salt production industry of Wu State, and not only Wu State, but also Chu, Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, and Jinan will be greatly affected.
However, if Liu Deng really succeeds in this matter, even if they, the princely states, unite to make trouble, there will be no chance of any improvement in this matter.
"Come here, change your clothes and prepare your carriage and horses. I am going to visit Prime Minister Zhang now!"
At this time, the only one who can help him is Prime Minister Zhang Cang.
However, Liu Xian still thought of things too simply. Although Zhang Cang usually accepted gifts from Wu Guo, he was always cautious in his actions. How could he stand up for Wu Wangqiang at this time? , but instead offended the powerful people of the Manchu Dynasty?
Although there is only a wall between them, the two of them are in completely different situations. Liu Deng is now well fed and drunk, and is lying on the bed preparing to recharge his batteries, waiting for the verbal battle tomorrow morning.
But Liu Xian was different. After hurriedly getting up, washing and changing clothes, he hurriedly got into his car and drove straight to the residence of Prime Minister Zhang Cang, ignoring the curfew order.
"Someone, go and call the door!"
Liu Xian was so nervous that he didn't care about anything along the way and swaggered to Zhang Cang's mansion.
But he didn't consider at all that as a prince of a vassal kingdom, what kind of impact would he have if he visited the prime minister of the Han Dynasty so late at night?
All along the way were people from Jinwu Guards. As soon as he left the house, the news had already been sent to the palace by Jinwu Zhi.
"Who is it? It's so late!"
"My master is Liu Xian, the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom. He has come specially to visit Prime Minister Zhang. Please make it a convenience to go and inform him!"
"Wait!"
Although someone disturbed his dream in the middle of the night, when he heard that it was the Crown Prince of Wu, he did not dare to neglect and hurried to the backyard to report the news.
Zhang Cang is a very principled person, and he pays great attention to health. He goes to bed very early every day, and there is almost no exception unless it is something urgent.
It was almost dawn now, and when the news reached the ears of the officials, the housekeeper was also in a dilemma.
He knew his master's habits. If he disturbed his clear dream at this time, God knows what would happen?
"Why is Prince Wu so ignorant of etiquette? It's already midnight. If you come to visit me at this time, please wait here while I go find Mr. Li!"
After hesitating for a long time, the housekeeper still didn't dare to knock on Zhang Cang's door directly. At this time, he should go to Mr. Li to discuss it.
This Mr. Li has a mysterious origin, but he is extremely trusted by Zhang Cang. He has always helped him handle some confidential letters in Zhang Cang's mansion.
At this time, it is most appropriate to discuss it with him.
"Mr. Li, have you gone to bed? There is something I want to ask you to say..."
Arriving at Mr. Li's yard, the old housekeeper gently knocked on the window.
"But what happened?"
It was not long before Mr. Li opened the door and walked out wearing his outer robe.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, but the reason for bothering you this late at night is because Prince Wu Prince Liu Xian came to visit late at night. We don't dare to disturb the Prime Minister. We don't know how to make a decision. Please give me some advice..."
"Prince Wu Crown Prince Liu Xian is visiting at this time? Did he say what happened?"
Mr. Li hesitated and then asked.
"I didn't say that. He is waiting outside the door now. Look..."
The old housekeeper was really in a dilemma. Although Liu Xian had a noble status, his prime minister had already fallen asleep after all.
"I think I'm here for something to do tomorrow morning, but it's not convenient for the Prime Minister to express his position on this matter. So, you go back to him in person and say that the Prime Minister was unwell last night. He took medicine and fell asleep now. At this time, it’s better not to disturb Mr. Xiang!”
On one side is the wealthy Prince Wu, on the other side are the nobles of the entire dynasty, and even the royal family is involved. Although Zhang Cang is the prime minister, it is really inconvenient to express his position on this matter.
It’s better not to see him at this time!
"Thank you sir for the advice, where is the Prime Minister..."
"Don't worry about the Prime Minister, I will talk to the Prime Minister in person tomorrow morning!"
"Then don't bother me, sir. You should go back and rest early!"
After the old housekeeper finished speaking, he turned around and left with fists in his hands, and went to the door to explain to Liu Xian in person.
"Your Majesty, my Prime Minister felt unwell last night and fell asleep after taking medicine. If you have nothing particularly urgent, can you come back tomorrow?"
Liu Xian was waiting outside the door, and unexpectedly a housekeeper was waiting for him. This made him very depressed. This old guy collected so much money every year. Now that something happened, he actually wanted to shirk it like this?
"My affairs are extremely urgent. I must see the Prime Minister today. Please make it easier for me!"
But now that he was under the eaves, Liu Xian could only speak politely.
"Then let me go in and try again. Your Highness, please wait a moment!"
Seeing that Liu Xian was still unyielding and vowed not to give up until he saw Zhang Cang, although the old housekeeper had a calm expression on his face, he still felt a bit more disdainful in his heart.
