The eldest son is fierce

Liang Guogong Mansion.

After receiving the news from Queen Liang, Duke Liang Shan of Liang rushed back to his mansion in a hurry.

"What about the rebellious son? Where did the rebellious son go?"

Duke Liang of Liang, Liang Shan's face turned pale and he was a little furious.

Seeing her husband's furious look, the Duke's wife quickly tried to calm him down: "Rong'er isn't home, what's wrong? How did Rong'er make you angry again?"

When Duke Liang heard that Liang Rong was not at home, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately shook his wife off: "Hurry up and send someone to find that rebellious son, then immediately flee the capital and return to the countryside to hide for a while."

"That bastard's murder on horseback has been exposed, and now His Majesty is personally investigating the matter."

"The Imperial Guards haven't come to arrest him yet. It's simply the Empress who's holding him back temporarily. It won't be long before the Imperial Guards come to arrest him."

When Lady Liang heard this, she didn't care at all: "Isn't it just killing a few ants? What's the big deal? Besides, our Liang family is a royal family, what are we afraid of?"

"I don't believe that His Majesty would turn against the Duke of Liang's Mansion just for a few peasants."

Snapped!

Duke Liang raised his hand and slapped his wife in the face, knocking her unconscious on the spot.

Duke Liang pointed at him, his face grim as he said, "I don't have time to waste on you right now. Normally, even if he kills a few thousand or a few hundred people, it's not a problem."

"But now it's different. His Majesty is currently revising the laws. Even the Minister of Justice was exiled to Yazhou, and the Crown Prince was caned thirty times."

"He's a dandy, a prodigal son. How can he be more noble than the crown prince?"

"The person responsible for this matter is Tang Yi. That guy is very evil. If that rebellious son falls into his hands and they find out about all the awful things he did in the past, then he's doomed."

"That guy even killed all those noble children from the Second Division of the Imperial Guard. Why do you think he wouldn't dare to kill Rong'er?"

When Lady Liang heard this, she began to panic.

She quickly called the housekeeper and said, "Uncle Liang, Rong'er must be hanging out in the brothel right now. Find him quickly and take him out of the city before dark and hide him in the countryside for a while."

"When Kyoto is at peace, we will bring him back."

The Duke of Liang pointed at the housekeeper and said, "Take a few more people with you. If he doesn't leave, tie him up and send him away."

"Yes, yes, yes." The old butler nodded in agreement.

After the old butler and his men left, the wife of Duke Liang covered her face and looked at him, saying, "Master, is it really that serious? We've already threatened those peasants, and they don't dare to sue us anymore!"

Duke Liang's face was gloomy. He said, "I didn't dare to report it before, but I heard that His Majesty promised the people of Kyoto on the East City Wall today that he would govern Kyoto according to the law in the future."

"Maybe those peasants will start to stir up trouble. Let's have someone supervise them. Anyone who dares to complain to the Imperial Guards will be killed without mercy."

Since this matter concerned her precious son, Lady Liang did not dare to be careless and personally arranged the matter.

……

Qi Mansion.

Qi Wendao returned home and drank two pots of tea, but he still couldn't calm down his anger.

It's not that he can't afford to lose. He can accept losing to his old rivals in the officialdom, but losing to a young boy like Tang Yi is a little hard for him to accept.

"Prime Minister, are we just going to admit defeat? And today's loss... was clearly inexplicable!"

Many people from the Prime Minister's party were present, and their faces were livid. They had suffered a terrible defeat today and were extremely unwilling to accept it.

Just that morning, they were still discussing how to save Tang Yi's life and at the same time warn the prince not to go too far.

As a result, the prince was not hit, and they were almost killed by Tang Yi's counterattack.

"What else can we do if we don't admit defeat? Like Zhao Qing said, force the emperor to abdicate?"

Qi Wendao walked to the table, picked up the tea on the table and took a gulp.

Then, he looked at everyone in the hall and said, "We lost, we have to admit it, but we can't let Tang Yi win so comfortably."

"Doesn't he want to legislate? Doesn't he want to move into Jingzhao Prefecture and take charge of the overall situation? Then treat him well."

"Go back and find someone to do something. Fight, steal, rob, burn, and kill... Let's have our men do it."

"But remember, don't leave any evidence behind. This is our gift to Tang Yi for taking office."

Everyone was originally burning with anger, and they felt very uncomfortable because of the frustration and blockage.

Now, after hearing what Qi Wendao said, their eyes lit up.

"Prime Minister, that's great!"

"Oh, we are really confused because of our anger. Tang Yi wants to govern Kyoto, so we must be making things worse!"

"Haha, we are all experts at making trouble."

"..."

In an instant, the hall became noisy.

Everyone looked excited and eager to try.

Didn't Tang Yi want to legislate? Then they would cause chaos in the whole of Kyoto.

As long as Kyoto is in chaos, he can't stabilize the situation, and legislate? Ha, wouldn't it be a big joke?

"Master, the food is ready. Should we transport it directly to the South Warehouse?"

At this time, the housekeeper came in to report.

Qi Wendao looked up at the housekeeper, raised his hand and said, "Send the food directly to the North Warehouse, and have someone notify the Li and Zhao families to send food there as well."

"Although they are attached to the ***, the *** is not in Kyoto. If they don't pay the grain, Tang Yi can find them by just making up a connection."

The Li family and the Zhao family are among the four major powerful families in Kyoto, and are involved with most officials in the court. It would be better to deliver the food themselves than to wait for Tang Yi to come and make trouble.

"Mr. Qi, I always feel a little uneasy..."

At this time, the Imperial Censor Jiang Zheng said: "Tang Yi wants food, is there some conspiracy?"

"Each minister in the court received 500 dan of grain, and each family of the relevant families received 500 dan of grain. The total amount of grain is over 100,000 dan."

"One hundred thousand dan, this is not a small amount."

When Qi Wendao heard this, he was shocked. Yes, could this be another conspiracy of Tang Yi?

The other ministers didn't care at all and laughed playfully when they heard Jiang Zheng's words.

"Jiang Yushi, you've been bitten by a snake once, so you're afraid of ropes for ten years. What kind of conspiracy could this be?"

"That's right. One hundred thousand dan is a lot for Tang Yi, but for us and the wealthy families in Kyoto, it's just a small amount that slips through our fingertips."

"That's right. If he really has a conspiracy, what can 100,000 dan of grain do? With just one word from us, Kyoto can gather a million dan of grain at any time."

"..."

When Qi Wendao heard what everyone said, his heart finally settled down.

One hundred thousand dan of grain may sound like a lot, but in their eyes it is just a drop in the bucket!

"Tang Yi wants food, probably to aid the northern border."

Qi Wendao chuckled and said, "Your Majesty has money now, but with our interference, it will be difficult to buy enough supplies for a large army in Kyoto."

"One hundred thousand dan of grain is enough to feed an army of over one hundred thousand for a month."

Upon hearing this, the laughter in the hall suddenly became louder.
