Although he had made up his mind, Li Tai was not in a hurry.
Under the service of the maid, I washed my face and changed my clothes. Then I moved towards the main hall with a big belly, like an old man traveling in the mountains and forests.
As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw people from all the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River coming. It can be said that there was a large crowd.
Seeing Li Tai walking in, everyone quickly stood up and saluted: "I have met His Highness King Wei!"
Li Tai's face was full of smiles, like a smiling Buddha: "Haha, we are all our own people, why should we be polite? Everyone, sit down!"
With that said, Li Tai walked directly to the main seat.
As soon as he sat down, Li Tai heard someone complaining: "Your Highness, that Yang Fan went too far. He actually let that female assassin massacre us, the descendants of the Jiangnan noble clan. He wanted to drive us all away. You have to make the decision for us..."
Li Tai tried his best to raise his eyelids, and then his eyes showed a slit and took a look.
This person is Yang Xun, the eldest son of the Yang family in Yangzhou. This boy is making a complaint with an angry look on his face.
But the timid look in his eyes could not be concealed.
Li Tai knew very well that the Yang family in Yangzhou was involved in the rumor that Yang Fan was bloodthirsty...
In the past few days, female assassins have been frantically assassinating those who spread rumors in Jiangning and Huating, which has made people panic.
Although the female assassin has not arrived in Yangzhou yet, it is only a matter of time before she comes.
It is only natural that Yang Xun is afraid that his own people will be assassinated.
However, Li Tai also had some contempt for people like Yang Xun.
In his opinion, although the female assassin is powerful, she can still be dealt with as long as she takes more precautions.
It's just that people like Yang Xun were frightened by the female assassin, so they panicked.
Li Tai always looked down upon such timid people, so he said expressionlessly: "Do you have any evidence to prove that the female assassin was sent by Yang Fan? Besides, your Yang family is a wealthy family in Yangzhou. It’s just a female assassin, what’s so scary about her?”
The contemptuous tone in his voice could not be concealed.
The meaning is obvious. It directly reflects the Yang family, a wealthy family that has been in Yangzhou for hundreds of years. Each generation is worse than the last!
"This..." Yang Xun was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, and immediately his face turned red and ashamed.
Indeed, although everyone suspects that the female assassin was instigated by Yang Fan, there is no evidence!
As for the female assassin, she is not scary. You will know it when everyone arrives in unison. Does this need to be said?
Who wouldn’t be afraid of a female assassin who can fly over walls and fly over walls?
What's more, if you can only commit a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days!
In his opinion, Li Tai could stand and talk without pain in his back.
After all, the female assassin was not targeting Li Tai.
Seeing that Yang Xun was silent, Li Tai glanced at everyone present and asked deliberately: "If it's just about the female assassin, you shouldn't be asked to come together. Is there anything else?"
Everyone felt a little bitter.
Li Tai was obviously asking questions knowingly.
It seems that the Jiangnan nobles directly bypassed His Highness the King of Wei in impeaching Yang Fan this time. This prince is really angry!
After this incident, everyone saw Yang Fan's ruthlessness and insidiousness, and they just wanted to calm down the incident as soon as possible and stay away from Yang Fan.
In their opinion, if they can't afford to offend, can they still afford to hide?
The most important thing now is to understand Yang Fan's thoughts. If Yang Fan is determined to wipe out the Jiangnan nobles, then Jiangnan will usher in a bloody storm.
These Jiangnan nobles are used to living comfortably in Jiangnan, and they really don’t want to risk their lives!
Yang Xun sighed and said with a sad face: "I came here this time because I want to ask His Highness the King of Wei to come forward and make a slight change with Yang Fan and ask him to let us go. From now on, we can live in peace and do not interfere with each other!"
Li Tai said strangely: "As far as I know, the female assassin is targeting the people who created rumors to frame Yang Fan. As long as no one is involved, there is no need to be afraid!"
"Besides, even if the female assassin is sent by Yang Fan, at most she only wants to kill a few people to vent her anger. Who told you to plan against them in advance?"
"As long as you don't provoke him in the future, Yang Fan shouldn't get into trouble with you."
After hearing this, everyone here had the same expression as Yang Xun, they were all shy and helpless.
Those present, even if they did not participate themselves, there were people in the family who had participated in creating rumors that were not conducive to Yang Fan.
In fact, almost all the Jiangnan nobles participated in the impeachment of Yang Fan. Who can get away with it?
After a long silence, another middle-aged man in his thirties said: "Your Highness, if there is only a female assassin, we won't be too worried. We are just afraid that Yang Fan will play some dirty tricks, and we will be in panic all day long. .”
The speaker was Lin Xi, a member of the Lin family in Jiangnan.
Of course they know.
If there is only one female assassin, as long as everyone works together, a few people from the family can deal with it, so there is no need to worry at all!
What if Yang Fan makes some small moves!
Yang Fan can even put some hats on their heads.
Hearing this, Li Tai was surprised and said: "Why do you say this?"
Lin Xi then expressed everyone's worries: "We are afraid that Yang Fan will let his men pretend to be assassins to deal with us, and even put the hat of pirates on our heads. The consequences..."
Even if the following words were not spoken, Li Tai could guess what he meant.
According to Li Tai's understanding of Yang Fan, it is really possible for Yang Fan to do this!
Don’t the Jiangnan gentry want Yang Fan’s life?
That's OK, Yang Fan can retaliate in the same way and let his men pretend to be assassins.
They even fabricated some incriminating evidence and directly pinned it on these people's heads.
By then, public opinion in Jiangnan will be directed at the various noble families in Jiangnan, and it will be justifiable for Yang Fan to use the power of the court to deal with them!
Li Tai finally understood why these people came so neatly and in such a hurry.
Apart from the female assassins, I was really afraid that Yang Fan would take revenge on them at all costs.
If Yang Fan can't get forgiveness, who knows if this person will make up various reasons to kill people because of his bad temper?
The most important thing is that it is very likely that the killing will be in vain. After all, Yang Fan is now a representative of justice.
And these Jiangnan nobles are the rumormongers who create rumors and slander good people, and they should be killed!
Li Tai once again felt that "Yang Fan is the person who should not be messed with".
Even if Yang Fan didn't take action, he had already frightened these proud Jiangnan nobles into trembling with fear. It was simply unbelievable!
However, Li Tai also has his own plans.
These things were originally done by this group of Jiangnan nobles behind his back, so naturally he was not willing to come forward easily.
This group of people now know how to be afraid!
I know that Yang Fan is not easy to mess with!
Then they all came to me to wipe their butts. Do they really think of me as their nanny?
Yes, although these people are part of the force that supports them, they are only mutually beneficial!
If he pushes Yang Fan to the enemy in order to gain the support of these people, Li Tai will not do it!
Although he is determined to ease the tension between the Jiangnan nobles and Yang Fan, it definitely does not mean that he, Li Tai, can take the lead in everything!
If there is no bottom line and no benefit...who would do such a stupid thing?
Seeing how everyone was trying to get ahead of themselves, Li Tai knew that these people obviously took him for granted!
Haha, now you know how to beg me?
Why didn't Yang Fan report to himself when he was impeached?
This group of people are all tough, they are afraid of death, but they are unwilling to give up their interests, so they come to stand up to him. They are really a group of self-righteous fools.
Li Tailue pondered for a while and said hesitantly: "Since you all have requests, of course I will not sit idly by and do nothing, but I also have my own difficulties."
After hearing this, everyone certainly knew what Li Tai meant.
Obviously, Li Tai wants them to show their loyalty!
Everyone looked at each other and said one after another: "Your Highness, as long as we can be protected, we will follow your Highness to the death!"
After saying that, he knelt down directly.
Seeing this, Li Tai chuckled, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this, of course I believe you."
After a pause, Li Tai's face became serious and he said: "You have lived in Jiangnan for a long time, so you don't understand Yang Fan's temperament, so you provoke him again and again."
"You think that creating rumors to impeach Yang Fan will make him retreat. Then you are totally wrong."
"Who is Yang Fan? When he was in Guanzhong, the censor at the Yushitai impeached him every day, but they couldn't move him to share the wealth."
"You are just creating some rumors and trying to impeach him without any real evidence. It's just an itch."
"When Yang Fan was in Guanzhong, he dared to beat me. Think about it, would he be afraid of you?"
"Besides, your move to impeach Yang Fan is too bad. Even if you get Yang Fan back to Guanzhong, Your Majesty will be furious, and everyone will inevitably be harmed. If you can't get Yang Fan away, you will definitely suffer Yang Fan's revenge!"
"Yang Fan acts haphazardly. He has a stick-like character and doesn't consider the consequences at all. But precisely because of this character, as long as you don't target him, he won't target you either."
"So, I advise you not to mess with this stick in the future. This time, I will try my best to facilitate your reconciliation even if I lose face."
"Of course, if Yang Fan puts forward some conditions, you have to tolerate it, otherwise I have nothing to do!"
These words are all warnings.
Of course, Li Tai's words were not an exaggeration, nor were they intended to increase Yang Fan's prestige, but rather to stop these people from causing trouble for him in the future.
Of course, there is actually a reason why Li Tai was so confident in promoting the reconciliation between these people and Yang Fan.
Having been in Jiangnan for so long, Li Tai can also understand Yang Fan's purpose of working hard to manage Jiangnan.
In addition to really opening up Jiangnan for Li Er, Yang Fan, more importantly, wanted to realize his dream.
In this case, Yang Fan will not let Jiangnan be turbulent, so Yang Fan will not kill easily.
In other words, Yang Fan's purpose in coming to Jiangnan was not to deal with these Jiangnan nobles, but just to make the common people live a prosperous life.
What Yang Fan planned was not to eliminate the Jiangnan gentry, nor was it solely for profit, but for a dream in his heart.
Therefore, as long as no one is targeting him, it's hello, hello, hello to everyone, and everyone is happy;
On the other hand, if there are many constraints or even mutual hostility, then Yang Fan would not mind killing all those who are blocking him!
In Li Tai's view, this incident of the female assassin was just Yang Fan's attempt to frighten these pampered children of aristocratic families.
After all, if Yang Fan really wanted to do something serious, he would have used the navy to wipe out all these people!
How could it be their turn to come to Huating County to seek help from him?
However, Li Tai also made it clear to everyone!
It’s okay to let me, Li Tai, go find Yang Fan based on my reputation. From now on, you must be loyal to yourself and not easily offend Yang Fan.
More importantly, if Yang Fan puts forward any conditions, you have to express them!
After all, destroying someone's future is like killing their parents. You guys have offended Yang Fan to death!
After looking at everyone, Yang Xun said: "Your Highness, as long as it can make Yang Fan calm down, you can make any conditions. Doesn't he like money? We will give it..."
Li Tai smiled and said nothing, looked at everyone and said, "What do you think?"
Everyone also understood what Li Tai meant, and they all expressed their stance: "Your Highness, please rest assured that we will never provoke Yang Fan again in the future. As long as Yang Fan's conditions are not too harsh, we can all agree."
Li Tai's words have already reached this point.
The Jiangnan gentry knew that it would be impossible if they did not give him some benefits. They just hoped that Yang Fan would not talk too much.
Li Tai nodded and said: "In that case, let's all take a short rest in the mansion first, and I will put aside my face and go to the capital to calm down Yang Fan's anger no matter what."
"I'll leave everything to Your Highness."
Everyone was grateful for Li Taiken's help.
After all, people had warned everyone not to provoke Yang Fan easily, but no one listened.
Now that the commotion has reached this level, but they still have to invite Li Tai to protect them, they can't help but feel guilty.
As for the Wang and Huang families whose families were confiscated and exterminated by the emperor, no one interceded.
This incident was originally caused by the Wang family.
At the beginning, the Wang family vowed that as long as they spread rumors and forced Yang Fan out of Jiangnan, they would dissuade the emperor from intervening in Jiangnan.
But who knew that the opposite happened. Yang Fan was not killed, but instead caused heavy losses to everyone.
Especially those whose children in the family were assassinated are even more resentful towards the Wang and Huang families.
After all, the Wang family is entirely to blame for the current situation.
What's more, they can't protect themselves now. They have to be ashamed to beg Li Tai to come forward, so how can they have the time to care about other things.
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, why should they care about the frost on other people's tiles?
However, the reason I supported Li Tai in the past was because I wanted to benefit from Li Tai becoming emperor.
But now everyone’s attitude has changed!
No matter what, Li Tai's thigh is still more useful when something happens.
In view of Li Tai's duty to stand up for everyone, in the future, Li Tai will have to act accordingly.
Li Tai agreed to help solve the problem, and everyone felt relieved.
After all, Li Tai is also a prince and Yang Fan's brother-in-law.
Come to think of it, no matter how unruly Yang Fan is, he still has to give his brother-in-law some face, right?
What's more, everyone is willing to give up some benefits.
However, everyone was still a little shocked when they heard that Li Tai needed to visit in person.
You know, Li Tai is the emperor's favorite prince. With such a status, he still needs to visit in person. The area of Yang Fan is too big, right?
Everyone present was shocked, and Yang Xun was even more surprised and asked: "Your Highness, are you too polite to come to see Yang Fan in person?"
Although Yang Fan is a big man, he is far worse than Li Tai!
What is Li Tai's identity?
The dignified first-class prince!
You should never say something like "visit in person".
Even the polite words were somewhat inappropriate.
Li Tai reluctantly explained: "You guys, you used to stand too high. You were always arrogant. You only saw Yang Fan's age, but not his ability."
"I thought that he only achieved his current status by marrying Her Highness the Princess and gaining the emperor's trust, but I don't think that if Yang Fan was really incompetent, how could he play with you again and again with applause?"
"Just wait. As long as Yang Fan doesn't commit suicide, no matter who becomes the emperor, this kid will definitely have a place in the position of prime minister!"
As he spoke, Li Tai murmured to himself with some emotion: "Well, if we could get Yang Fan's support, the fight for the crown prince would be absolutely foolproof. What a pity! If I had known better, I wouldn't have messed with that kid!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Although he already overestimated Yang Fan, he didn't expect that Li Tai's evaluation of Yang Fan would be so high!
No matter who becomes the emperor, Yang Fan will definitely have a place in the position of prime minister and assistant?
This is too scary!
You know Yang Fan is not even 20 years old yet!
If Yang Fan can live to be 60 years old, wouldn't he be able to control the center for forty years?
If he had lived a few more years, he might have had to survive several emperors!
It can be said that he is a powerful minister with all the power in the government!
Although they were shocked by Li Tai's evaluation of Yang Fan, no one dared to refute or question it.
Judging from what Yang Fan did during the time he came to Jiangnan, Yang Fan's methods, talents and abilities are definitely first-rate.
But Li Tai's evaluation of Yang Fan also made everyone feel excited.
Everyone is afraid that Yang Fan will ask for high prices!
If Yang Fan opens his mouth, judging from Li Tai's attitude, he will definitely not refuse.
For a moment, everyone was in a state of confusion and became a little uneasy.
Now that things have come to this, we can only hope that Yang Fan will be merciful!
