Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Brightly lit.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, frowned and remained silent.

Below stood Cao Zhengchun with a respectful face.

Cao Zhengchun sneaked into the prime minister's mansion, and after overhearing the secret conversation between Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the others, he entered the palace without stopping.

Because the content of the secret conversation between Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the others was too shocking.

Even if Cao Zhengchun only heard a few words, he had no choice but to go to the palace to report to Zhou Chen immediately.

"What else did you find out?"

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun.

Zhou Chen was already going to bed, but he didn't expect Cao Zhengchun to bring him such important news.

Let Zhou Chen's drowsiness disappear instantly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old slave has heard that they seem to have basically accomplished this matter in Shu."

"Both the Zheng family and the Fan family were involved."

"Also, there are strangers entering the Hubu Shangshu Mansion and the Xingbu Shangshu Mansion tonight. The old slave probably belongs to the Fan family and the Zheng family."

"When the old slave rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, they had basically finished their secret talks, and the old slave only heard a few of these things."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said.

When Cao Zhengchun sneaked into the prime minister's mansion, the secret talks between prime minister Yuan Bo and Yuan Ziming were basically coming to an end.

Cao Zhengchun didn't know what Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the others had secretly discussed.

Cao Zhengchun only heard a few words after that.

But just a few sentences later were enough for Cao Zhengchun to find out what Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the others wanted to do.

Are the Zheng family and the Fan family also involved?

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered.

Zhou Chen didn't expect that Zhou Qian, the daring Cui family of Boling, who bewitched Xiaoyao Wang to raise a flag to rebel.

After that, three of the Yuan family, the Zheng family, and the Fan family also rebelliously wanted to change the world.

These aristocratic families are really not afraid of death.

It seems that what he, the emperor, has done has made these aristocratic families sense danger.

Otherwise, these aristocratic families would not take such a big risk and do such a thing that would be punished by the nine clans.

"His Majesty."

"Do you want the old slave to act immediately, arrest all these people, and directly destroy their mansions?"

Cao Zhengchun spoke.

Based on Cao Zhengchun's inquiring of these few words of Prime Minister Yuan Bo's secret conversation, it is enough for Dongchang to confiscate the family and exterminate the family of Prime Minister Yuan Bo and others.

Besides, anything that involves this kind of thing.

As long as there is a whiff of wind.

That is, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go.

Zhou Chen shook his head; "No need, since your East Factory has found out their purpose, don't rush to do it yet."

"The medicine is too strong, it will hurt the muscles and bones."

"Prime Minister, Hubu Shangshu, and Xingbu Shangshu are all ministers who hold power in the court, and they are also representatives of aristocratic families in the court."

"The court does not know how many officials have been implicated with them."

"Once they do it, all the officials in the court will be cleaned up."

"At that time, if there are not enough officials to make up for it, the center of the court will be paralyzed and turbulent."

Zhou Chen said with a serious face.

It's not that Zhou Chen didn't want to immediately issue an order to ransack the homes of these people and exterminate their families.

It's that Zhou Chen can't do this temporarily.

The Cui family of Boling and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry have already involved more than 20 officials in the court.

Then the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment could involve so many officials in the court, Zhou Chen couldn't imagine.

That's not even a local cleanup.

This is not as simple as dealing with a Boling Cui family or a party of relatives of the great general Wujin, but at the same time dealing with the three giants of the seven deep-rooted families in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

These three great families are not ordinary, they are all deeper than the Boling Cui family in Da Zhou.

Among them, the Yuan family in Runan is the head of the seven great families.

If this is not a battle, the world will be settled.

That would be a real mess.

These are all things Zhou Chen has to consider.

Therefore, without sufficient preparation, Zhou Chen can't act recklessly.

What's more, there is Shu King Zhou Zhi, and Zhou Chen has to consider the Queen Mother.

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment with a solemn expression, and then said to Cao Zhengchun, "Cao Zhengchun, immediately call Du Ruhui and Liu Ye into the palace."

For such an important matter, Zhou Chen had to call Du Ruhui and Liu Ye to discuss it.

As the saying goes, one person counts the short, and three counts the long.

For this matter, a feasible plan must be discussed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After Cao Zhengchun left, Zhou Chen's face was a little gloomy, and he muttered to himself, "Old Nine, Old Nine, you really disappointed me."

"For the sake of my mother, I have already given you a chance. I hope you can see the situation in front of you clearly, but you just don't know how to cherish it, and you want to court death."

"Do you think that I don't know that Zhang De poisoned me, and there is your shadow."

"Do you think that I don't know, but you are the biggest player behind the scenes?"

"Now, you are still involved with a wealthy family. You really don't know how to write the word 'death'."

A gleam of coldness flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes.

Before Zhang De poisoned Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen had already found out that there was also the shadow of Shu King Zhou Zhi behind it.

But because of the Queen Mother, Zhou Chen suppressed it temporarily and did not move Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Chen gave Zhou Zhi a chance, and hoped that Zhou Zhi could see the situation clearly, become the king of Shu in peace and stability, and stop thinking about it.

It's a pity that Zhou Zhi didn't cherish Zhou Chen's opportunity now.

Not only did he have a crooked mind and didn't say anything, but he even got worse, mixed up with a wealthy family, and wanted to change the world.

This disappointed Zhou Chen very much.

"Old Ninth, since you don't give up, let me see what means you have and how big a wave you can make."

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered.

...

After half an hour.

Liu Ye and Du Ruhui, led by Cao Zhengchun, walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Sir Liu Ye."

"Chen Du Ruhui."

"I have seen His Majesty."

After Liu Ye and Du Ruhui walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they bowed respectfully to Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Liu Ye and Du Ruhui didn't know why Zhou Chen summoned them into the palace so late, what was the important matter.

On the way just now, they also asked Cao Zhengchun, but Cao Zhengchun was also very taboo and didn't say anything clearly.

This made Liu Ye and Du Ruhui couldn't help guessing that something serious should have happened.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhou Chen to summon the two of them in the middle of the night, and Cao Zhengchun still had a taboo and unpredictable expression on his face.

Zhou Chen looked up at Du Ruhui and Liu Ye and said, "Keming, Ziyang, you don't need to be polite, get up!"

"Why did I call you into the palace so late, I have something to discuss with you."

"Someone fell in love with the chair under my buttocks and wants to change the world!"

As soon as Zhou Chen said this.

The expressions of Du Ruhui and Liu Ye couldn't help but change.

Looking at the chair under His Majesty's buttocks, do you still want to change the world?

Doesn't this mean that some people want to sit on the dragon chair, murder the king and plot rebellion?

Sure enough, they guessed it right, and something really happened.

Looking at it like this, His Majesty still knows who it is and has found out the news.

Du Ruhui and Liu Ye were thinking about it.

"Cao Zhengchun, tell Keming and the others about the situation."

Zhou Chen cast another glance at Cao Zhengchun and said.

Zhou Chen believed that Cao Zhengchun's mouth was very strict, and he would not reveal any information to Du Ruhui and Liu Ye on the way here.

This is also one of the reasons why Cao Zhengchun was able to become the governor of the East Factory and the emperor's confidant Eagle Dog.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun nodded, and immediately told Du Ruhui and Liu Ye the news he had heard at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Du Ruhui and Liu Ye finished listening to the news that Cao Zhengchun heard in the prime minister's mansion, their expressions became serious.

The three great families and the prime minister are okay to talk about. Although it is a bit troublesome, as long as the plan is proper, there will be no big waves.

What really made Du Ruhui and Liu Ye serious was Zhou Zhi, king of Shu.

Royal affairs have never been so easy to handle, and the court ministers are even less willing to participate.

Du Ruhui and Liu Ye are naturally no exception.

This King Zhou Zhi of Shu is Zhou Chen's pro-Nine Emperors.

There is also a queen in the back.

This will be even more troublesome than dealing with the three great families and the prime minister.

Seeing that both Du Ruhui and Liu Ye had heard the news about Cao Zhengchun's investigation, Zhou Chen said directly, "You have also heard the news about Cao Zhengchun's investigation at the prime minister's residence."

"What do you think?"

"How do you think this matter should be handled so that the court will not cause too much turmoil."

Zhou Chen looked at Du Ruhui and Liu Ye.

One of these two is Du Duan of Fang Mou Du Duan, and the other is a talented person of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhou Chen wanted to see if the two of them had any good ways and suggestions to deal with the matter in front of them.

After Du Ruhui and Liu Ye pondered for a while, Du Ruhui cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm a little confused."

"Like the Yuan family in Runan, the Fan family in Jiexiu, and the Zheng family in Rongyang, the wealthy families of these seven great families, even in the prince's succession, have never bet heavily on the entire family."

"Let's not talk about this kind of risky act of hooking up with the prince to change the day. This is not in the interests of the wealthy family."

"I'm wondering what made these wealthy families of the Seven Great Aristocratic families make such a risky move."

Du Ruhui's words made Zhou Chen frowned involuntarily.

yes!

Under normal circumstances, a wealthy family will not bet on the fate of the entire family. This is the way for a wealthy family to survive.

But this time, why did the rich families like the Yuan family in Runan place such a heavy bet on the King of Shu?

Before, Zhou Chen hadn't thought about this question, but now what Du Ruhui said, Zhou Chen felt a little strange.

It stands to reason that what Zhou Chen did during this period of time was even a little irritating to the aristocratic family.

But it's not enough to let the wealthy families of the Yuan family in Runan, the seven great families, directly take risks and collude with the King of Shu to rebel!

This is somewhat implausible.

This kind of choice will only be made when there is no other choice and there is no way out.

So what made the Runan Yuan family and the rich families of the family not hesitate to risk the fate of the whole family to do such a thing!

Zhou Chen frowned and thought.

Unless it is the Yuan family in Runan, they have already committed some serious crimes, just like the Cui family in Boling, it is a capital crime to exterminate the nine clans like this.

Wait, Boling Cui's family?

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered for a moment, and what did he immediately think of?

"The Yuan family in Runan, the Zheng family in Rongyang, and the Fan family in Jiexiu."

"It turns out that you also had a part in the changes in the four prefectures in the Northwest."

A trace of coldness flashed across Zhou Chen's face.

Zhou Chen had known for a long time that the changes in the four northwestern prefectures should not be planned by the Cui family of Boling.

There must be other families or forces.

But among the seven great families and other forces, Zhou Chen couldn't be sure which ones were involved.

It's all right now, after what Du Ruhui said, Zhou Chen figured out everything before.

These three families did not run away.

Zhou Chen took a deep look at Du Ruhui; "Keming, did you already guess this?"

Du Ruhui shook his head; "Your Majesty, I'm just a little confused, and I understand this after His Majesty said."

"hehe."

Zhou Chen sneered.

"Keming, it doesn't matter now whether the three of them have anything to do with the affairs of the four northwestern prefectures."

"What I'm asking now is, what do you think should be done about what Cao Zhengchun heard at the prime minister's mansion?"

Zhou Chen looked at Du Ruhui with a sneer.

Dare to be sloppy with him, the emperor, he is really easy to talk to as the emperor!

Facing Zhou Chen's sneer, Du Ruhui's scalp went numb for a while.

Du Ruhui knew that if he couldn't come up with a good solution, he'd have nothing to eat today.

"Your Majesty, since they are all related to the affairs of the four northwestern prefectures."

"Then, between the ministers, it is better to start from this aspect and break down one by one."

"Previously there was a problem with the disaster relief funds in the four northwestern prefectures, and His Majesty has not thoroughly investigated it."

"Your Majesty just came up with this reason now, starting with the household department first."

"In this way, we can temporarily mislead others, stabilize the situation, and slowly cleanse the officials without causing too much turmoil."

Du Ruhui thought for a while and said.

From Du Ruhui's point of view, if this matter is started with the rebellion of linking up with the king of Shu and changing the day for another day, it will suddenly arouse the resistance of the three great families.

At that time, even if the three major families are wiped out, the court and the place will be in turmoil.

It is better to use other excuses to move the officials in the court first and gradually spread the most secure.

After hearing Du Ruhui's words, Zhou Chen immediately understood what Du Ruhui meant.

Let's start with the household department first, which coincides with Zhou Chen.

What Zhou Chen wanted was to move the Minister of the Household Department first, because Zhou Chen had already laid the groundwork.

Zhou Chen, the money that came from ransacking the family and exterminating the family before, was all used as bait by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Zhou Chen had been watched by Dongchang all the time, and he didn't do anything.

Now is also the time to move the mouse inside.

Just in this way, he won the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and it would not arouse too much suspicion from the three major families and the prime minister Yuan Bo.

The advantage of doing this is that it can temporarily stabilize these people.

"Is there any more?"

Zhou Chen looked at Du Ruhui again.

Du Ruhui made several suggestions in succession.

After Zhou Chen heard this, there was not much expression change on his face, making it impossible to see his real thoughts.
