Chapter 1999

Long Jiang was released from prison. He was furious and felt extremely helpless.

The damn noble family is living a good life and instead instigating the emperor to kidnap the emperor's woman. What the hell is this?

Wei Xingzhou, who had returned to Beijing secretly from Liang State, accompanied him to drink, "Boss, don't think about those useless things. The next step is to do it and wait for the order from the emperor!"

Long Jiang took a sip of wine, feeling worried, "Damn it, it would be embarrassing if this gets out!"

Wei Xingzhou wanted to laugh and say "Don't worry, it won't get out", but the corners of his mouth twitched and he didn't laugh in the end.

This incident will always be a stain that can never be erased. If it happened to him, he would also be depressed.

Long Jiang drank his wine while listening to his subordinates hurriedly report: "Boss, according to your instructions, the news that four people died in the Six Gods Temple has spread."

He nodded, waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, raised his head and took a deep breath, his voice was low and fierce, "I can't sleep well, and those people can't close their eyes either!"

Wei Xingzhou tapped the table with his knuckles, thinking, "The four great families have always been cautious, and even avoided the 'Clear Dust Plan'. Why are they taking risks now?"

Long Jiang raised his eyes and sneered, "These people are the best at judging the situation. No one could have imagined that Princess Haiyan and her husband would suddenly appear and force the emperor to confront the Empress Dowager Jiqing." He paused and said in a sly tone, "Oh, no! You could have expected that. After all, you are the husband's man."

Wei Xingzhou grinned and told the truth, "How could I have that ability? I'm just an errand boy. How could I know everything about the court?" He took a sip of wine, his eyes shining, "But to be honest, the prince consort and the princess are simply invincible when they join forces. Hey, it's really exciting to work with that couple!"

Long Jiang put down his wine glass heavily, and the wine splashed on the rough table. "Ha! Back then, the Northern Wing was weak, and other countries looked down on us. Even an envoy had to look at other people's faces when delivering a letter of credence!" He wiped the wine foam from his beard, and his eyes flashed. "Who would have thought that the prince consort led a group of young boys and turned the Wan Kingdom upside down! It's so satisfying!"

After swallowing the wine, it no longer felt bitter as before, but instead a refreshing feeling burned up my throat.

He knocked the wine bowl on the table, and the bottom of the bowl made a crisp sound. "Which of those noble families back then didn't sit there with their hands behind their backs and watch the joke?" He sneered and drew a circle on the table with his finger dipped in the wine. "As a result, the people promoted by the princess and the prince consort have become pillars of the court. By the time they came to their senses, the children of the noble families had already been squeezed out to the sidelines."

Wei Xingzhou nodded, "Yes, that's the truth."

Long Jiang counted on his fingers, "Those who make minor mistakes are directly dismissed, and those who are mediocre and incompetent are transferred to other places. In the seven ministries and nine officials nowadays, in any important position, can you see any trace of aristocratic families?"

After hearing this, Wei Xingzhou immediately understood. The aristocratic families no longer had a say in the court, so they would definitely make trouble, right?

No matter how much you jump around, you can't touch the woman of the emperor! You are courting death!

Long Jiang pointed to the sky, leaned in and whispered, "That person, after sitting on that chair, left the harem vacant, waiting to welcome the princess as the queen. If the princess's mother married the emperor, what would the historians write about it in the future?"

Wei Xingzhou thought to himself, "Damn it, the prince consort isn't even dead yet and you're already thinking about his wife", but he couldn't say this to Long Jiang.

Few people knew that the prince consort was alive, and he was one of the people who knew about it, so he was a little proud of it.

In short, he understood. The noble family took advantage of Emperor Zhaowu's mind, helped him kidnap the woman of the retired emperor, and then killed her, in order to completely split the royal family and turn the emperor and his son against each other.

"You're asking for death!" Wei Xingzhou slammed the table and stood up, the remaining wine in the bowl splashing out, "Let's go, get some work done!"

Long Jiang stood up, went to open the door, picked up two jars of strong liquor and threw them to his men, "Take them all, and go to the Six Gods Temple to reward the brothers."

As the guards in the temple staggered from drink, a few broken tiles on the eaves rustled slightly.

As dawn breaks, candles light up brightly in the secret rooms of the four great families.

"Have you verified it?" Lin Wensong dug his fingertips into the armrest of the armchair.
