Because at this moment, what he saw was not just the pigeon, but his own end.
Just as the Zhang family began to move, troops from all over Chang'an mobilized to control all the Zhang family's shops in the capital, including the account books, money, and people in charge...
In this era, money mostly exists in only two forms.
One is substantial gold and silver jewelry, and the other is credible deeds and bills.
To find the former, it's very simple, just find the real thing.
It is also very simple to find the latter. Whether it is a deed or a bill, they are all digitization of money, and the numbers themselves are dead and logical. The stewards will count them all and catch them all. If you go back and interrogate him alone, you won't have to worry about finding the money.
What, what if the banknotes are burned?
The money is burned, but the people are still there, right?
Just calculate how much has been burned and then make up for it!
My majestic emperor, can't you do such a small endorsement of credibility?
It's just a matter of asking the Ministry of Household Affairs to approve a note.
…
After Li Yuanda explained all the things that needed to be done one by one, he no longer cared about this matter: "I have arranged it like this. If Zhang Liu can still run away, then I will stop being the fucking emperor and give it to Let him take the lead!"
He summoned the Marquis of Jingguo and his son to the palace, and asked them to explain clearly the reason why the Marquis of Jingguo's family had submitted an apology in front of several important ministers.
I suddenly dismissed the posts of the Marquis of Jingguo and a group of my direct in-laws. The courtiers were all talking about it. No one dared to directly say that I was confused, but they were all murmuring in their stomachs.
And the Marquis of Jingguo's sudden sale of land and shops at low prices could not be hidden from the eyes of the people in Chang'an. Those who didn't know it thought that I, the emperor, was a bone-crushing exploiter, trying to rip off nobles!
This is not okay, I can't stand this grievance!
Marquis Jingguo, you father and son must speak clearly!
So Marquis Jingguo and his son went to the palace to plead guilty.
The prince of Marquis Jingguo was over forty years old, and Marquis Jingguo was also gray-haired. The father and son fought for the land head-on, with tears in their eyes, thanking God for his kindness, and regretting their mistake.
"I never imagined that that evil obstacle would dare to cause such trouble and disobey the law..."
"He actually dared to call his retainers and kidnap prisoners from Prince Yong's Mansion!"
"Although the Holy One has a candle shining thousands of miles away and a gaze as bright as a torch, he knows that the father and son will never dare to be implicated in such a treasonous crime, and he generously forgives me, but the father and son are really in trouble!"
Li Yuanda's eyes were red and his shoulders were shaking slightly, but he still personally helped the Marquis Jingguo and his son up: "How come we are in this situation? How could I be so suspicious of my ministers!"
Marquis Jingguo and his son burst into tears: "I am ashamed of my sage, and I have betrayed the country..."
The important ministers who were watching the melon eating almost jumped up on the spot as if they had touched the switch!
Strangely, Marquis Jingguo and his son went to the palace to plead guilty. It turned out that they had a grandson who dared to kidnap an imperial prisoner in Chang'an!
But I have to say that Zhang Liu can indeed do this kind of thing, he is a frivolous person!
Why? !
etc!
Whose criminal did Zhang Liu kidnap?
Prince Yong's Mansion? !
Gan!
King Yong, you are such a troublemaker, why are you everywhere? !
The second I thought about it, it felt even more wrong.
Think about it carefully. The brother of King Yong's current emperor has evil intentions and even sent his followers to sneak into the palace secretly. Zhang Liu is a wealthy businessman in the world and has a huge amount of money. Now Zhang Liu is risking the world for the people of King Yong's palace. It’s so embarrassing—it’s scary to think about it!
We have to find money bags, and we have to put people into the palace, especially in the Marquis of Jingguo Mansion, where there are indeed in-laws in the army——
God, in this situation, the Holy One actually let the Marquis of Jingguo go so lightly? !
He really made me cry to death!
Prime Minister Yan Chong immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, as a vassal king, I refused to be an official first. After snooping into the inner world, I colluded with wealthy businessmen with evil intentions. All parties are guilty, and the blame lies with Yong." The king is here, I ask you to kill King Yong!"
Li Yuanda said with displeasure: "That's enough! Don't blame King Yong for everything. My brother, don't I understand myself? Isn't he such a person!"
Yan Chong: "???"
Are you okay, Your Majesty?
Do you believe what you are saying?
He raised his head and took a careful glance - Wucao, his eyes were really red - you really believe it!
When Liu Taifu heard what he said to the end, there was a hint of tears in his voice, and he felt compassion in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to follow Yan Chong out of the queue, but he stopped when he caught the emperor's gaze. live.
Li Yuanda looked at him imploringly and shook his head almost invisible.
Taifu Liu sighed secretly, but did not speak after all.
After leaving the imperial study room, Yan Chong stopped him and sighed: "What should we do? If we don't take advantage of this great opportunity to kill King Yong, and wait for him to resurrect, The consequences will be disastrous!"
Taifu Liu also looked solemn: "Yes, it was fine when the current Holy Emperor was still there. As the elder brother, I could always suppress him, but if there is an emergency... the successor emperor can still suppress him. Do you want to live with this ambitious uncle?"
Yan Chong said in a distraught manner: "The Holy One cares about brotherhood and protects King Yong to death. We can't pretend to pass the imperial edict and send him to death, right?"
When Liu Taifu heard this, his eyes lit up.
He suddenly grabbed Yan Chong's arm.
Yan Chong was horrified by what he saw: "Brother Liu, you don't dare to act so rashly! Falsely spreading the imperial edict is a major crime that will destroy the nine tribes!"
Taifu Liu laughed and said, "Where did you think you were? How could I be so reckless?"
He also said in a low voice: "Why not follow the example of Emperor Wen of the past who killed his uncle and sent people to the prison to cry to King Yong? If it succeeds, the cause of this disaster will be dead. If not, the stigma will be gone, and this thief will never dare to appear again." Disloyal thoughts!”
Yan Chong suddenly understood: "That's exactly what it should be!"
…
Yan Chong sent all the officials to go to the prison to cry to King Yong, and then someone went to the imperial study to report the news.
Li Yuanda said "Oh" and continued: "Wait a little longer. After today, I will send the emperor's brother away to give him some time to brew his emotions."
The confidant responded and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, that Aunt Chen who stayed in Chongxun Palace..."
Li Yuanda looked at him steadily and said, "How dare you talk such nonsense? When did Grandma Chen enter the palace?"
"After the death of the Queen Mother, she was ordered to look after the Emperor's younger brother in Prince Yong's Mansion. This time the Emperor's younger brother encountered a catastrophe. She originally wanted to enter the palace with her mother's decree to save the Emperor's younger brother's life, but she was caught and imprisoned instead. He got up and escaped desperately, but he was stabbed several times. He took his last breath and came to me, handed me the queen mother's decree, and passed away..."
When he said this, he choked up with empathy: "Prime Minister Yan, as the emperor, I can't obey my mother's decree and be filial to her, and I can't save the lives of my brothers and sisters. After my death, why can I see the ancestral temple? ?Alas!"
Li Shimin said: "You can cry more realistically!"
Liu Che said: "It's best to spit out blood again!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand it anymore: "Are you fake? Why are you so hypocritical?!"
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Old Zhu."
Zhu Yuanzhang responded: "What?"
Ying Zheng: "Speak humanly."
"..." Zhu Yuanzhang: "Well done!"
Chapter 75
By the time Zhang Liu realized something was unexpected, escaping from here was no longer possible.
The confidant staggered and hurried forward to report: "Master, something bad happened. Every door in the house has been surrounded by people from the imperial court. The carrier pigeons released..."
He looked bitter.
Zhang Liu said sharply: "What about the carrier pigeon?!"
The confidant said dejectedly: "They were all shot to death too!"
Zhang Liu felt a wave of dizziness coming over him, his feet became unsteady, and he fell down on the stool.
Why are Ji Yunzhao's movements so fast?
Could it be that he, Zhang Liu, would really die today?
"No, I still have a chance!"
Zhang Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Go get two sets of ordinary men's and women's clothes, close all the doors in the house, and when the time comes, rush out together. The court eagles and dogs don't know which door Linlang and I left through. When we were in a hurry, We may not be able to escape..."
The confidant just smiled bitterly: "Master, those who rushed out earlier were all top-notch masters in the world, but they still can't survive. You two——"
"You bastard, don't you even listen to me?!"
The blood all over Zhang Liu's body was boiling, and just as he was about to attack, a soft jade-like hand suddenly covered the back of his hand.
He looked over.
But he saw Deng Linlang looking haggard and forlorn: "I am very grateful that you can save me. How can I ask you to lose your life for me? Everything today happened because of me. Hand me over." Get out."
She sighed: "Since he is so unyielding, I really want to meet him and ask him personally, is the friendship between me and him all fake? How could he hurt me?" Killer?"
Zhang Liu said anxiously: "Linlang, have you forgotten that he wanted to kill you before?!"
Deng Linlang said: "But didn't you also say that that may not be his own intention? Maybe someone is pretending to pass on the imperial edict?"
Zhang Liuwei was speechless. After a long time, he finally told the truth: "I said it casually to comfort you, how can I take it seriously? Man..."
Deng Linlang smiled bitterly and said: "He is a man, aren't you? Ask me to see him and ask him clearly. Even if there is a slight possibility, it would be good to save you."
She fell down so weakly that she ordered someone to get paper and pen, hurriedly wrote a letter, and went to the front door of Zhang's house with Zhang Liu.
…
"Does she want to see me?"
Li Yuanda took the letter presented by the attendant and looked puzzled: "You also said that she has what I want in her hand?"
He sneered: "It can't be a child, please, please don't."
