The grass in the factory should be plucked

The onlookers were first dazzled by Marquis Jing'an's beauty, and then frightened by the murderous aura emanating from Xie Chang'an, and fled in all directions, only daring to watch secretly from a distance.

The shopkeeper, sweating profusely, invited the two into a private room and served them tea. He asked the waiter to get the best rouge and powder in the store and introduced them to them one by one attentively.

What are Luozidai, Rose Paste, Hundred Flowers Dew, Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder...

There are many types of rouge in different colors, including coral beads, lotus red, peony charm, cloud purple and so on.

Jiang Li was confused after hearing this and couldn't figure out what was what.

Xie Changan waved his hand and said, "Then I want everything. Go home and ask Aunt Lian."

The shopkeeper was so delighted that he was overjoyed and immediately ordered his servants to pack up all the things and send them to the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion.

The two of them left Hanfang Pavilion and strolled to Jinxiufang.

At this time, the shop owners had all received the news and ran out, waiting respectfully outside the door and greeting people enthusiastically.

As a result, the two of them kept buying, such as the latest summer clothes from Jinxiufang, the limited edition perfume from Hongxiuzhao, the latest jadeite and gold-inlaid headpieces from Baoyinxuan, and the seasonal preserved fruit candies from Zhenxiuguan...

Marquis Jing'an became the most popular God of Wealth among the shops on Qipan Street.

Finally, Jiang Li sat in a private room facing the street in the teahouse, eating delicious and exquisite cakes, looking at the lights coming on in the street, the bustling and prosperous scene, and couldn't help but sigh, no wonder there are so many playboys in aristocratic families, this kind of life is really great!

As the saying goes, "Extreme joy leads to sorrow." Marquis Jing'an was impeached by the censors before he even started attending court.

Even the fledgling Feng Wuhu could see the merits of Longmen Trading Company. How could veteran officials like Liang Shoufu not see it?

They thought that the emperor was young and inexperienced, so he would have to rely on old ministers like them. This was a good time to consolidate his power and eliminate dissidents.

Unexpectedly, the Longmen Trading Company behind him had quietly gathered a lot of forces for the emperor!

On the surface, there are military generals headed by the Duke of Zhenguo, the aristocratic family headed by the Qinghe Cui family, the East Factory headed by Xie Changan, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Now that Cui Jue has entered the Ministry of Revenue, he is not only in charge of the emperor's small treasury - Li's Trading Company and Longmen Trading Company, but will also have the national treasury firmly in his hands in the future.

Xie Chang'an is now the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He is also the adopted son of Governor Liao, which means that both the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard are under his control.

The forces behind the scenes include Ghost Doctor Valley and Mohist School.

The Ghost Doctor Valley has an independent status in the martial arts world. Getting the support of the Ghost Doctor Valley is equivalent to being able to command the martial arts world.

After all, no one of those bloody heroes knows whether they will ask the Ghost Doctor Valley for help one day.

What was even more unexpected to the court ministers was that the mysterious Mohist force also joined the Longmen Trading Company and pledged allegiance to the emperor.

The next great leader of the Mohist school also worked in the Ministry of Works!

Prime Minister Liang has read the memorial that Jiang Li presented to the emperor. The existing Longmen Tiangong, as well as the Longmen Military Industry and Longmen Academy that she is planning, are all extraordinary!

These are enough to overthrow the existence of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the Imperial College!

In particular, the Longmen Academy which is under construction will cultivate practical talents, and as expected, will become the grassroots officials for the current emperor to govern the world in the future.

There are also Longmen Yaji and Longmen Bookstore, which have firmly captured the hearts of scholars in Da Chu.

When today's talented scholars in academies and writers talk about the young emperor who has just ascended the throne, who would not praise him as "the emperor is wise and virtuous"?

The bond that firmly ties all these forces together is the woman, Marquis Jing'an!

The more Prime Minister Liang and his confidants thought about it, the more frightened they became.

Prime Minister Liang secretly hated himself for being careless. He always thought that Longmen Trading Company and Li’s Trading Company were similar and both were the emperor’s secret treasury. He was happy to see it happen.

As long as His Majesty's private treasury is full, he will not set his sights on the national treasury.

I didn’t expect that under the leadership of Marquis Jing’an, Longmen Trading Company would develop into such a behemoth!

If Longmen Trading Company is allowed to continue like this, it will inevitably grow into a force that can confront the entire court.

These old ministers will no longer have the possibility to hinder the emperor!

On this day, Prime Minister Liang privately met with Lord Chang to discuss the matter.

There is no need to look for Lord Shen, because his relative, Shen Muchun, the Shaoqing of the Guanglu Temple, is the head of the Longmen Medical Bureau and a former close friend of the current emperor!

Chang Ge Lao said: "Can we try to send our people into Longmen Trading Company and wait for an opportunity to seize the position of the head?"

Then they will eat away at it from within and divide it up.

Liang Shoufu sighed, "Look at those people in charge. Which one of them can be replaced by our people?"

The head of Longmen Medical Bureau is the chief disciple of Ghost Doctor Valley, the head of Longmen Yaji and Longmen Bookstore are the descendants of Qinghe Cui family, and the head of Longmen Tiangong is a giant of Mohist school. Each of them is irreplaceable.

They couldn't even win over Feng Wuhu, the new president of Longmen Academy.

This man was a member of the imperial examination system. The chief examiner of the Spring Examination was Lord Chang, who could be considered his mentor.

But when Prime Minister Liang checked carefully, he found out that this man was actually the younger brother of Feng Sihai, who almost became a scapegoat in the evil book case!

In other words, Marquis Jing'an is the savior of Feng Wuhu's entire family!

How can we incite rebellion?

When he heard that Marquis Jing'an was planning to build a girls' academy together with the Empress and Concubine De, he was extremely impressed. Even the emperor's concubines were won over by her!

Prime Minister Liang was really in a headache. Marquis Jing'an was just a 28-year-old girl. How could she act so flawlessly?

What gave him even more of a headache was that Longmen Trading Company nominally belonged to Marquis Jing'an privately and was independent of the imperial court. As long as it operated in compliance with the law and paid taxes according to the law, they could not touch it!

Liang Shoufu frowned deeply and said slowly: "Since the problem cannot be solved, then solve the person who created the problem."

Lord Chang was startled and made a gesture as if he was wiping his neck.

Liang Shoufu shook his head: "Didn't you see the day when the King of Qi was plotting rebellion? Marquis Jing'an is agile and ghostly. She is a secret guard of the East Factory. Which assassin has the ability to kill her?"

To eliminate opponents in the political arena, one naturally has to use political means.

The next day, Nangong Qinghe's case was filled with memorials from the censors impeaching Marquis Jing'an.

Some accused her of being unfilial and brought her father, grandmother and stepmother to court. She even heartlessly kicked her elderly grandmother and biological father out of the house!

Some people impeached her for her extravagance, spending huge amounts of money to build a garden for herself, and treating Longmen pufferfish, which cost one tael of gold each, as a common meal. She even spent several thousand taels of gold when going shopping!

There were even more daring censors who impeached her for being promiscuous in the palace. After being banished to the cold palace, she actually had an affair with Xie Chang'an, the head of the Eastern Depot at the time, and even bewitched the emperor, who was then the third prince. She was truly a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country!

This accusation is serious, as it is equivalent to saying that the late emperor was cheating on his mother, and hinting that the current emperor is having an affair with his stepmother!

When Nangong Qinghe saw these memorials, he was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he wished he could immediately execute these censors who spoke nonsense!

He walked into the secret room of the imperial study and stared at the painting he and Jiang Li had created for a long while before he managed to suppress his anger.

Nangong Qinghe ordered Yuanbao: "Send these memorials to Marquis Jing'an."
