After Li Chengqian and the others left, Zhang Feng had been trying to figure out the ins and outs of this matter. He really found that there were shadows of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans in many places.
For example.
The coal mine incident, the civil strife in Tubo that broke out at the same time, the abnormality of the Turks, and the sudden siege of Zhenla by the Indians.
None of these seemed to be related, but Zhang Feng could vaguely feel that things were not so simple.
But now, the sudden loss of the iron mine and the Tubo incident had not been resolved. Instead, there were more serious changes, and the return of the Indian and Turk armies.
Plus, such a thing happened in the Imperial City.
At this moment, Zhang Feng thought about the cliched movies and dramas of the future, as well as the novels of those brainless authors, and understood.
Damn it, there must be someone behind this. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?
However, although Li Shimin had some guesses about all of this, he still did not dare to believe that someone could have such great ability to manipulate such a big situation.
At this moment, Zhang Feng said softly, "Lao Li, I have a bold guess. Do you really think that the Five Surnames and Seven Clans are behind this?"
Li Shimin was a little confused.
He looked at Zhang Feng and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Feng nodded.
"Based on my understanding of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans, they will easily strike at our vital points. Moreover, it is impossible that the Five Surnames and Seven Clans do not know that once they act rashly, it will only give the Emperor an excuse. Once that happens, their entire clan will be exterminated!"
"More importantly, our Emperor is not just anyone. He is not afraid of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans!"
Li Shimin could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Am I that scary?
Or, in this kid's eyes, am I still a brute who only knows how to use swords and sabers?
However, after thinking about it, Li Shimin still asked unhappily, "What do you mean? Do you think that the Emperor is that kind of tyrant? "
Zhang Feng waved his hand repeatedly.
"No, no, no, what are you talking about? How could I have such thoughts? Aren't you afraid that the walls have ears? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? "
Zhang Feng glared at Li Shimin, seriously wondering if there was something wrong with this guy.
He even dared to say such disrespectful words.
Zhang Feng said speechlessly, "What I mean is that the Emperor has always been a person who acts swiftly and decisively. Moreover, he has been trying to get rid of these big clans for a long time. Otherwise, do you think our Academy could have been set up?"
"It's all because His Majesty thinks that our Academy is another force that stands on the side of the common people apart from those aristocratic families and can be used by him. Otherwise, do you think our Academy can be set up?"
Li Shimin also didn't expect that Zhang Feng could actually see through this layer of meaning. He couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
If this kid saw through his intentions, then …
At this time, Li Shimin really realized the seriousness of the matter.
It seemed that he had still underestimated this kid.
But this was no longer important at this time.
Li Shimin quickly changed the topic and said, "Fengzi, then tell me, if this is not done by the people of the Five Families and Seven Clans, then who could it be?"
"After all, this is definitely not something that a small force can do!"
Zhang Feng nodded.
This was also what puzzled him.
You said that it was the Wang Clan of the Five Families and Seven Clans, this was a little bit of a sign. But Zhang Feng's understanding of the Five Families and Seven Clans' characters made him a little confused.
That was, if he became hostile with the people of the Wang Clan at this time, it would definitely not be a small fight.
It would be a direct and comprehensive revenge!
If so, then how could Zhang Feng jump up at this time?
He had long been suppressed by the Five Families and Seven Clans to the point of being unable to breathe.
As for Guan Long and the Shandong aristocrats, these were all possibilities. But Zhang Feng didn't see any intention to target him at this time from these forces.
This was what puzzled Zhang Feng the most.
Zhang Feng shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's talk about this later. But we still can't relax the dikes of these big clans. Let's wait until the iron mine is found and then we'll see!"
Li Shimin smacked his lips.
Just now, he also thought of a lot, especially about the people of the Five Families and Seven Clans. No one understood them better than him. At this time, when he heard Zhang Feng say this, he could only sigh and say, "I heard that Old Chen and Old Yu took a large number of people to find the iron mine, and seemed to have a small conflict with the people of the Wang Clan. But, the iron mine you mentioned still hasn't been found. Could it be that as you said, there is no iron mine at all?"
Zhang Feng's eyes widened.
"How could there be no iron mine? That place, according to … my master's analysis of the soil composition and so on, the iron mine reserves in that place can't be finished in at least two hundred years even if all the miners of the Tang Dynasty gathered together to mine it! Tell me if I'm wrong. "
Zhang Feng felt a little embarrassed.
After all, these were some things he knew roughly, and he had never really been to these places.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Feng described the area of Luochuan according to the description of the iron mine distribution in his memory, and said, "Tell Old Chen and the others not to go to places with lush vegetation, and to specifically look for stone mountains. It's best to go as close to the north as possible, and dig underground. Don't raise your head to look at the sky, the mine is underground!"
