As for Liu Hongwen and Ouyang Kai, their faces couldn't help but turn pale.
However, they were secretly delighted.
At this moment, the Emperor showed dissatisfaction towards Zhang Feng. That meant that the rumors about this kid and the Emperor weren't true.
Could it be that the rumors about the Emperor and this kid being extremely close and hiding their identities were false?
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but start to make small calculations.
Cheng Yaojin and the others couldn't help but be a little surprised at this time. If it wasn't for Xiao Guizi informing them in advance yesterday, they would've definitely thought that the Emperor had taken the wrong medicine. But now it seemed that the Emperor didn't take the medicine, and was very good …
"Aiyaya, this kid is really something. Your Majesty, why don't this old official go to Barren Mountain tomorrow and teach him a lesson for you to vent your anger? This is such a good thing. Look at that braised meat. Even Your Majesty hasn't eaten it yet! What is this? He doesn't respect you ah! This kind of person needs to be taught a lesson. "Cheng Yaojin loudly reprimanded Zhang Feng, angering him.
In any case, he was saying it for these people to hear. As long as he saw that kid, it would be fine.
Thinking of this, Zhangsun Wuji also became angry. Yuchi Gong even more so. Wei Zheng also couldn't help but say a few words about Zhang Feng.
The generals couldn't help but stare blankly at this scene.
That's not it.
What kind of situation is this?
Isn't this kid a close friend of a few big shots in the military?
This …
At this time, they couldn't understand the situation and could only stare at the few people arguing. As for the civil officials, seeing that they were arguing fiercely, they also bitterly listed Zhang Feng's faults.
However, how could they be a match for Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong?
These two were people who could anger an enemy general to death on the battlefield without spitting a single curse word. They were existences who could kill enemies with a wave of their sword. How could they not win against these civil officials?
When they heard that these people dared to scold Zhang Feng, they were embarrassed. They would only stop when that person's face turned white and his eyes turned white.
As for Li Shimin, he pretended not to hear and quietly walked away.
After Li Shimin left, the court became even more chaotic.
It wasn't until two hours later that Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin finally left the Political Announcement Hall with their arms around each other's shoulders, laughing heartily as if they were extremely carefree. As for Wei Zheng and the others, their faces were filled with shamelessness. There was no need to mention the group of civil officials behind them. For them to be able to stand up at this time was already a blessing from their ancestors.
This was the first time that they realized that when these two idiots, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, they were really ….
They could take someone's life!
As soon as they left the Vermilion Bird Bridge, Wei Zheng and the others, as well as Cheng Yaojin, stood on the bridge with smiles on their faces as they watched the crowd leave. Only Liu Hongwen, Ouyang Kai, and the three ministers from the Ministry of Works and Rites were left behind.
"Gentlemen, let's find a place to have a drink?"
Cheng Yaojin's knuckles cracked as he looked at them and said.
How could they not go at this time?
They didn't want to experience the tragedy that Wang Chenggong and the others had just experienced.
Moreover, the people here were all dukes and first-rank officials. How could they not go?
They could only smile bitterly and cup their hands. They followed the palanquins, carriages, and horses into the nearest Chang 'an Hotel.
The arrival of the ministers naturally made the manager of the Chang 'an Hotel grin from ear to ear. Although it could be said that this was a free meal, what was this?
This was a shop front, a golden signboard!
A few dukes, as well as the Chancellor of the Imperial College's Hongwen Guan, and the others had come to visit. This would be a great deal of face if word got out!
Moreover, the people in the Chang 'an Hotel all knew that these people were the ones behind the scenes ….
After sitting down in a luxurious private room on the second floor of the hotel, Zhang Su and Wuji blocked Cheng Yaojin and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, we are all old acquaintances. Let's not talk too much. Today, I invited you here to discuss something. However, there is still a distinguished guest, so please wait for a while."
"Lord Zhangsun, you are really making us wait. How can we …."
Before He Zhongzheng could finish speaking, Yuchi Gong said coldly, "I told you to sit down, so you better sit down properly!"
This time, He Zhongzheng and the others were well-behaved.
They couldn't guess what these people wanted to do. At this time, they could only sit in a daze, uncomfortable as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
However, they didn't dare to speak carelessly. After all, they were all sitting here. Although they didn't know why they were called here, they were usually very clear with each other.
The reason they were called here was naturally because of Zhang Feng's matter. After all, they were smart people and naturally knew that some things that Zhang Feng couldn't handle were handled by them.
However, although they weren't really enemies before, their relationship was naturally not good ….
Even during the Mid- Autumn Hunt, they had the intention of making things difficult for this kid ….
Naturally, they felt a little guilty at this time. However, on second thought, they had already established a cooperative relationship with Zhang Feng. They were grasshoppers on the same rope as these dukes. What were they afraid of?
Just as Liu Hongwen and the others were thinking about this, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open again. Li Xiaogong slowly walked in.
He Zhongzheng and the others hurriedly jumped up and stood up instinctively.
Li Xiaogong glanced at them and then looked at Wei Zheng. Then, he waved his hand lightly, "Sit down. There's no need to be formal here. What we are talking about today is not a matter of the imperial court."
Hearing this, He Zhongzheng and the others sat down in surprise.
After they sat down, Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Since everyone is here, Your Highness, do you want to speak? Or …. "
"It's better for you to do it. After all, Old Man doesn't know about your business relationship. I'm only here today as a witness." Li Xiaogong said as he drank his tea.
Hearing this.
He Zhongzheng couldn't help but feel that it was as expected.
It was really because of this matter.
At this time.
Wei Zheng said slowly, "You've seen in the morning court today. The seven distinguished families are covetously eyeing our business with Zhang Feng. Now that we're all cooperating with Zhang Feng, I know what you think. Just like what you said to Zhang Feng, we're all standing on the same line of interests, so we're friends. Since that's the case, you should understand why I called you here today, right?"
How could He Zhongzheng and the others not understand?
He wanted them to express their stance!
At this time, the Guanlong forces were finally ignored by the Emperor. Although they weren't afraid of the Emperor, once they really made a scene, both sides would suffer losses.
Moreover, the Five Families and Seven Great Clans were eyeing them covetously. At this time, they didn't dare to act rashly. In addition, the people in the clans also knew about Zhang Feng. It was impossible for them to fall out with Zhang Feng at this time.
In the face of absolute interests, they couldn't be casually abandoned by the clans.
This was the cruelty of the big clans.
In other words, at this time, even if they knew that the Five Families and Seven Great Clans were going to make trouble, they still had to stand with Zhang Feng!
Seeing that they didn't speak.
At this time.
Wei Zheng said in an incomparably dignified voice, "This morning, Old Man got the news that the iron sheet ship designed by Zhang Feng has been built in the Chang 'an Shipyard!"
"However, the Chang 'an Shipyard again sent news that the Five Families and Seven Great Clans have suspended the sale of iron ore or raw iron!"
"…"
