The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

"Daxia has been established for twenty-one years, but the people are still very poor. Your Majesty is the emperor and has extraordinary courage and character, but what about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Although the world wasn't unified when the Crown Prince was born, he has, after all, lived a smooth life!"

"War is a cruel test for a country and a nation. The Crown Prince is no mediocre person. He has never been on the battlefield, so he will naturally consider governing the country from a peaceful perspective!"

"So, this is the difference between Your Majesty and the Crown Prince!"

"Your Majesty is a wise and enlightened monarch, and he knows that great order must come after great chaos. Therefore, although he and the Crown Prince have different political views, they are actually quite tolerant of each other. The Crown Prince is well aware of this!"

"Since father and son have such a tacit understanding, why would His Royal Highness rebel?"

"This……"

Li Ye frowned upon hearing this and said, "Well, in your opinion, today's incident..."

"Huo Wenwu and the Crown Prince should know each other. He might even be the Crown Prince's man. However, the Crown Prince should not know about the rebellion!"

Gu Jingzhi said firmly.

"Haha! The first half of your opinion agrees with mine, but the second half really confuses me. Since he's the Crown Prince's man, how could he dare to cause trouble without the Crown Prince's permission?"

"Does the Duke still remember Princess Le Huang?"

"Why bring her up for no reason?"

Li Ye frowned. Ever since the incident involving Jin Lehuang came to light, he had no good feelings towards this woman at all.

Gu Jingzhi smiled slightly and said, "I have a feeling that this woman is behind all of this. As someone who controls the inner guards, how could she not know Huo Wenwu's true identity?"

"What's more, she is someone who can enter and leave the Crown Prince's residence freely and is deeply loved by the Crown Prince!"

"I once saw her at the Crown Prince's residence during negotiations with the two countries. The Crown Prince, except for extremely confidential matters, never conceals anything from her!"

"This prince is really..."

The word "stupid" was not uttered, but Li Ye frowned and said, "Since you think it was her, then what is her purpose?"

"She probably wants to cause chaos in Daxia!"

Gu Jingzhi sighed softly and said, "Although I don't know why she wants to cause chaos in Daxia so much, but it must be her who is responsible for this matter!"

"Just wait and see, Duke! When the court opens after the New Year, there will undoubtedly be many memorials impeaching the Crown Prince. Some may even dig up some 'evidence'! The Crown Prince's suffering is yet to come!"

"Uh……"

Li Ye frowned and said, "Even if what you said is true, why did she frame the prince?"

"Why? Of course you want to cause chaos in Daxia!"

Gu Jingzhi said: "Based on my daily observations, this princess is always thinking about subverting our Great Xia. If the crown prince takes the throne, with his ability, it will not be a problem for him to maintain the throne!"

"But if it were the other two princes, I'm afraid that once they came to power, in order to curry favor with the aristocratic families, the first thing they would do would be to abolish Your Majesty's new policies!"

"This new policy is just a newly formulated strategy to nationalize all the land in the world. This alone will take at least a year. By the time the new policy is implemented, the foundation will not be solid, and the benefits will not be apparent."

"If the new emperor were to be deposed directly upon taking the throne, the entire Great Xia would surely be in chaos, and it might be the biggest chaos since the founding of the country!"

"Is it really so dangerous?"

"Duke, didn't anyone come to your mansion to talk about the land a few days ago?"

"Uh!"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.

Just as Gu Jingzhi said, someone did go to his mansion a few days ago to talk about land. Many founding heroes came from poor families, and now that they have achieved success, they naturally want to build a large family fortune.

In addition to the rewards given by the emperor, they also purchased a lot of land.

However, compared to the aristocratic families who were cunning and plundering, these nobles were aware of the suffering of the people. Except for some unreasonable relatives, these nobles still had a bottom line.

However, even so, he still acquired a lot of land in his name.

Now that Chen Yao mentioned it, Li Ye also knew that the reform would affect more than a small number of interests. If it were not for the pressure from Emperor Xia and the loyalty and reliability of these nobles, it would be impossible for Emperor Xia to implement the new policy.

The crown prince grew up under their care and has a close relationship with them. If the crown prince ascends the throne, they will also be able to support the continuation of the new policy. However, if the second prince or the third prince takes the throne, the new policy will definitely be abolished.

Although their own interests can be preserved in this way, who says that their interests depend on these lands?

If they were not in power, how would they have accumulated wealth?

You must know that in the capital, it is not uncommon for nobles to squander their family fortunes in just twenty years.

"Duke, when I returned from my diplomatic mission, I encountered a private army, but I still haven't figured out where they came from. Who can guarantee whether there are still such private armies? How many are there?"

"If the world falls into chaos, not to mention external threats, just the internal troubles...if the court cuts off the food supplies at the border, what can General Li do at the border?"

"This……"

Li Ye's face changed when he heard this.

He finally understood what Gu Jingzhi was going to say. He said in disbelief, "Jin Lehuang is just a woman, how could she really be so capable?"

"Even the Inner Guards, which Your Majesty presides over, figures like Tianshu, didn't notice it?"

Gu Jingzhi smiled slightly and said, "If the inner guards are like this, what about other places? Look, even the imperial guards are..."

Compared to Jin Lehuang, the Inner Guards are really useless. With such a big mistake, even the Yuheng Department was taken away. It's really...

But if you really underestimate the ability of the internal security, you will probably die without knowing how!

Li Ye sighed faintly, "I've benefited a lot from chatting with you today. Let's leave it at that for today. I've only given you a cursory treatment of your injuries, so you should be careful when you go back! Don't think you can just act brave just because you're young!"

These generals who had come back from the battlefield all had more or less hidden injuries on their bodies. Although they were generals, their vitality was no longer what it used to be. Gu Jingzhi looked down on them and couldn't help but give them more advice!

……

After returning home, Gu Jingzhi looked at the peaceful mansion and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

Seeing that the three of them were injured, Chen Yu and others couldn't help but worry again. After Gu Jingzhi comforted them, he let them rest first.

After Chen Yu and the others left, Gu Jingzhi looked at Liu Sandao and asked, "Is the Crown Princess okay?"

"Fortunately!"

Liu Sandao said, "Those guys said that although some rebellious soldiers ran over, they were all dealt with. The Crown Princess is fine. After the rebellion was quelled, they went to find the Crown Prince!"

"Speaking of which, this Crown Princess is quite unlucky!"

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "The Crown Prince just lifted his house arrest, and now he's been arrested again. What bad luck!"

Gu Jingzhi: “…”
