The next day, also at night, after Jingwan went to bed, Li Hongyuan let someone lead Yu Zhongqing into Jin Qinwang fu.
Perhaps it was the first time he saw Li Hongyuan's imposing manner, Yu Zhongqing unconsciously knelt down. Li Hongyuan sat in the chair behind the main table, looking down at Yu Zhongqing. He still looked the same as usual, with some carelessness. The other people in the room didn't dare to breathe loudly, especially Yu Zhongqing. After a while, his forehead couldn't stop the fine beads of sweat from falling. It wasn't the first day or two that he faced Le Chengdi, but he never felt this kind of pressure.
Not the Emperor, but better than the Emperor! This kind of man was born to be the Emperor!
If he wasn't the Emperor, then he must be a figure like the Regent. No matter how old the person on the throne was, as long as he was there, he could only be a puppet.
And if the person in power was ambitious and unwilling to be manipulated, then Li Hongyuan would certainly usurp the throne and bring disaster to the world.
Yu Zhongqing secretly clenched his fist, rejoicing that he chose this kind of person, but at the same time, he was somewhat apprehensive. Because this kind of Master wasn't easy to get along with. This kind of Master had strong control over the people below, but weak reliance. Thinking of his usual reputation and style, it could be imagined what would happen if he betrayed him.
In a short time, Yu Zhongqing's thoughts turned thousands of times, but he always paid attention to Li Hongyuan's reaction. If he was distracted the "first time", he wouldn't need to mix in the future. And for a worthless person, why should his Master take revenge for him?
"The next time Li Hongming comes to find you, just agree that you don't need to get any information from him. On the contrary, Ben Wang will provide you with some convenience and help you stand firm on his side. Ben Wang has always believed that it is only interesting to take revenge on your own. It is more interesting to endure humiliation and work by the enemy's side. At the crucial moment, stabbing him with a knife is more interesting."
Yu Zhongqing lowered his head. The enmity of his family's extermination, he was able to draw a bow but not release it. Now, it was just a knife hidden on the enemy's side. "Yes." Ying De didn't hesitate.
The only problem now was that he had been rejecting the other party all this while. Now that he suddenly agreed, he naturally needed a suitable reason. He would probably have to deal with this himself.
"This prince will take care of the Zhou family and arrange suitable jobs for them. Unless they seek death themselves, the one who dies will be someone else."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Zhongqing said gratefully.
There was nothing wrong with Yu Zhongqing's character, and he was determined enough. However, he was also a cold person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained untouched for so many years. The Zhou family was probably the only soft spot in his heart. As for Zhou Kexin, it doesn't matter if Zhou Kexin treats her as his fiancée or his younger sister. The Zhou family is Zhou Kexin's weakness. Dong Xuebing blamed himself for what happened to Zhou Kexin. If he had exposed them from the start, no one would dare to treat Zhou Kexin like this. But now, it has happened, and it's useless to think about it.
Take revenge and send those people to hell one by one.
Yu Zhongqing had not avenged his family's extermination, and now, he had to bear new hatred. Although Yu Zhongqing's expression did not change, his mentality had changed.
Once such a person is buried in hatred, he will be very scary.
"How much do you know about your family?" Li Hongyuan asked.
Yu Zhongqing abruptly raised his head and glanced at Li Hongyuan before quickly lowering his head. "This subordinate is incompetent."
Li Hongyuan could clearly see the uncontrollable malevolence in Yu Zhongqing's body. However, Li Hongyuan was not affected at all. "You know nothing? You are also useless. I really wonder how you got to your current position. However, that person today cherishes power and authority. His sons are growing up one by one. Although he appears to be benevolent, he is actually more and more wary of others. It is reasonable that he would rely on someone like you who has no family or background and who is respected by others because you rely on him. "
To put it bluntly, Yu Zhongqing was only able to climb to the position of the Palace Guard's Chief Commander because of luck. — — This was what Li Hongyuan meant.
Yu Zhongqing was neither sad nor happy. It was not known if he thought so himself, or if he did not care about this matter at all.
"Wangfei's mouth is soft, but her heart is even softer. She can't bear to see others not doing well. You didn't do anything for ben wang, but she asked for benefits for you first."
"It's wangfei's benevolence." He already knew how the Zhou family got close to Jin Wangfei. If it was someone else, not to mention achieving their goal, it would be good if they did not cause trouble.
"It's good that you know. Yu Zhongqing, treat ben wang as your master. She is the second master, the same as ben wang. Do you understand?"
Li Hongyuan naturally wanted to tear the person who was thinking about Jingwan into pieces. But other than that, Li Hongyuan did not mind adding more capital for her.
Yu Zhongqing's heart trembled. Although he realized that Jin Qinwang treated wangfei differently, he did not expect it to be to this extent. "Yes."
"However, she thinks that you might think that ben wang is scheming against you. She also thinks that ben wang is worried for nothing. Then, Yu Zhongqing, what do you think?"
The sweat on Yu Zhongqing's forehead became more obvious. He did not know if his new master was using wangfei to test him or if he had other motives. Sure enough, even if he was kneeling here, the dust had not settled yet. "Wang Fei is sincere in thinking about Wang Ye. It's understandable for her to think more about Wang Ye. This subordinate might have had such doubts before, but from now on, this subordinate will not have such thoughts anymore. Because Wangye does not need it. "
That's right, he does not need it. Perhaps to him, he was of little value. At this moment, Yu Zhongqing's understanding was very clear.
"Yu Daren's words are too much. You are still useful to ben wang. With you around, at least fewer people will die. After all, wangfei hopes that ben wang will kill less."
Human lives, in his mouth, were decided so lightly. Was it according to his nature that he did not mind using absolute force to solve everything? Did it not matter if blood flowed like a river and people were plunged into misery and suffering? It made people rejoice that there was still someone like Jin Qinwang who could tie him down.
"Ben wang will send people to investigate your family's matter. The time limit is one month."
"Many thanks, wangye."
"Alright, you can go back."
"This subordinate will retire." Yu Zhongqing got up and left.
Li Hongyuan sat quietly in the study for a while. He did not have the mood to deal with other matters and went back to sleep. Hugging his wife to sleep was a great enjoyment. Jin Qinwang, who had always indulged in enjoyment, expressed that this matter could not be stopped.
Jingwan was in a daze and mumbled a few words. She was also in a half-asleep and half-awake state, but she seemed to be used to it from time to time.
"Yu Zhongqing."
Jingwan made an "oh" sound and continued to sleep without any effect.
This actually had a bit of a "sequela" for Jingwan. That was, she would mistakenly think that she was dreaming. When she woke up the next morning, she would completely forget about it. When she suddenly remembered at a certain time, she would know that she had forgotten something important. She was speechless towards Li Hongyuan and even suspected that he did it on purpose.
However, even so, this point had not changed.
The next day, Li Hongyuan got up early and directly had people bring over the Qinwang robe. Wearing it, he was handsome and heroic. But looking at this person's appearance, no one would associate him with powerlessness, even though he was indeed not related to this point.
From the first morning of their marriage, Jingwan had never helped Li Hongyuan dress. To a certain extent, she was really an unqualified wife. Even when they slept at night, she slept on the inner side. Occasionally, when she woke up in the middle of the night, it was also Li Hongyuan who got up to give her something to drink. She was really regressing the more she lived.
At this time, Jingwan was just symbolically helping Li Hongyuan tidy up his clothes because there was no place for her to tidy up. "Why did Your Highness think of wearing a Qinwang robe today?"
"To attend court."
Jingwan was slightly startled. That, what, she just realized that this man was a Qinwang who needed to attend court. But she couldn't be blamed. Who asked him to do this kind of thing since they got married a month ago? Thus, Jingwan looked at Li Hongyuan with a teasing gaze. "Has Your Highness thought it through today?"
"This Prince wants to hug his wife and continue to sleep. Unfortunately, the one on the dragon throne sent word that I must come today."
"Ah Yuan, why are you so obedient?" Jingwan moved closer. "You have your own matters to attend to."
"Wan Wan knows me well."
Jingwan patted him. "Don't talk nonsense. Hurry and go. Don't be too late and provoke public anger. "
"They were already angry eight hundred years ago. But since Ben Wang is willing to show up, they should be deeply grateful. If they have any opinions, they should hold it in for Ben Wang."
It was those people who had long been numb to it.
Li Hongyuan left Jin Qinwang fu. The Qinwang ceremonial guards entered the palace in a grandiose manner. On the carriage, his expression was calm and without any ripples.
The next day after Jingwan and the others returned from the country residence and entered the palace to pay their respects, Le Chengdi received a secret memorial. This year in the Jiangnan region, there were problems with several counties' Academy Examinations. Corruption was not enough to justify it. They openly looked for people to take the examinations and bribed the examiners to buy places. For some reason, it was exposed. More than a dozen students died in succession. The matter was getting bigger and bigger, and the scope was getting wider and wider. In particular, there was a county that was affected by last year's flood and had yet to recover its vitality. When this matter came out, it was simply one disaster after another.
At the same time, for some reason, the salt policy was also involved. The officials filled their own pockets and officials protected each other. The loss of money amounted to tens of millions of taels.
Along with the secret memorial, there was also a list of people's positions and their "affiliation".
Among the princes who participated in the court, except for the rich Li Hongyuan, even the sickly Fifth Wangye was among them. Of course, it was said that this was only a part of it.
One could imagine Le Chengdi's expression. Looking at all his sons, he wished he could tear them apart alive.
Originally, as an adult prince, it was understandable for him to receive some filial piety. Le Chengdi also would not care. But the amount was so huge, where did he use it? What did he want to do? He was not dead yet!
