Luo Qinghan asked calmly: "King Ying is a prince, and he still holds the position of the Right Patrol Division. Without my permission, how could he dare to leave Shengjing without permission?"

Luo Yanzhi was speechless when asked.

It's not that he didn't think about this. He thought that King Ying left Shengjing quietly. After all, King Ying was very low-key when he left Beijing. At first glance, he knew that he left in a hurry.

Never thought that the King of England was leaving Beijing by order!

Luo Qinghan's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, and said lightly.

"The iron ore that the King of England is mining belongs to me. Some of the ore mined from this iron ore will be invested in the construction of armaments, and the other part will be sold at the market price, and half of the money will go to the Shaofu. Half of it will be returned to the national treasury, do you have any objections?"

When the Minister of the Ministry of Housing heard the words, he was immediately agitated.

He was the first to stand up and responded loudly: "Wei Chen seconded the proposal, Your Majesty is wise!"

The others followed suit and shouted.

"Chen wait for second opinion, Your Majesty is wise!"

Luo Yanzhi had to bow his head, and followed the crowd to shout Your Majesty's wiseness, but he was full of resentment in his heart.

He thought he could take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the King of England, but he didn't expect that he would actually be placed in the same position by the emperor.

When the emperor heard what he said just now, he must have secretly laughed at his ignorance in his heart. Maybe in the emperor's heart, he was as ridiculous as the monkey being played on the street.

The more Luo Yanzhi thought about it, the more angry he became, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves, his eyes were full of hatred for the emperor.

The meeting is over.

The news that the King of England was to mine iron ore spread like wildfire.

The Heng family responded the fastest.

They immediately found a way to bribe Cao Nuo, the eunuch beside the emperor, hoping that Cao Nuo could help them intercede with the emperor and let the emperor agree to the Heng family to assist the King of England in mining iron ore.

Cao Nuo relayed the bank note sent by the Heng family, together with the request made by the Heng family, to the emperor verbatim.

After Luo Qinghan listened, he said quietly.

"Take the silver note and tell them that I still have several sailing routes in my hand, but I will only tell them to those I trust."

"Here."

Cao Nuo conveyed the emperor's attitude to the Heng family.

The Heng family gathered together to think, what kind of person can be regarded as a person who can be trusted by the emperor?

Not just Hengjia.

Other families who wanted to get the nautical route got the same reply.

Everyone is worried about how to become a person that the emperor can trust.

Wang Gan was one of the few who had no interest in sea routes.

He knew very well that this matter was probably the bait that the emperor deliberately threw out. The purpose was to lure those noble families into taking the bait, so that those noble families who were originally on the opposite side of the emperor would change their camps and become vassals by the emperor's side.

at dusk.

Wang Gan went to visit his father-in-law.

He met Wang Luoyanzhi of Jing County in the study of Yuezhang's house.

When Luo Yanyi saw Wang Gan, he immediately stood up and called out respectfully.

"teacher."

When Wang Kai was teaching in Taixue, Wang Gan worked as a teaching assistant for his father for a period of time.

Wang Gan happened to have taught Luo Yanzhi two classes. At that time, Luo Yanzhi was only a little prince who was nearly eight years old, and there was no intersection with Wang Gan.

Now Luo Yanzhi has become the king of Jing County, and Wang Gan has also become the head of the Wang family.

The two who had no contact before suddenly became close.

Luo Yanzhi even more affectionately called Wang Gan a teacher.

And Wang Gan also responded with a smile.

The two sat opposite each other.

Wang Qian first exchanged a few words with the other party before getting to the point.

"Recently, every aristocratic family is trying their best to show their loyalty to the emperor in order to get the navigation route. If this goes on for a long time, the position of the aristocratic families will gradually shift towards the emperor, and the situation will be even more unfavorable for you, Prince."

Luo Yanzhi's peach blossom eyes showed a sinister color: "A group of short-sighted guys! It's been so long, they forgot about the losses caused by the tax reform, and in a blink of an eye, they surrendered to the enemy for a small profit."

Wang Gan wanted to say that an iron ore is no small gain.

But he knew what kind of character Luo Yanzhi was, and Luo Yanzhi would not listen to such words.

So Wang Qian wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.

Luo Yanzhi gritted his teeth and said, "That guy is lucky. It was like this before, and it is like this now. It seems that no matter what he does, he is more successful than others. God is too partial!"

Although he did not name the name, Wang Gan knew that he was talking about the current emperor.

Wang Gan reassured: "My lord, calm down. Now is not the time to worry about these things. The current trend is very unfavorable for you. We can't sit still and find a way to stop the aristocratic families from continuing to lean towards the emperor."

Luo Yanzhi: "What advice does the teacher have?"

Wang Gan whispered: "It's definitely not possible to think of other ways temporarily. We can only implement the previously arranged plan ahead of time."

Luo Yanzhi's eyes flashed.

He hesitated: "Now is not the best time, right?"

Wang Gan: "Now is indeed not the best time, but if we wait any longer, I'm afraid we won't even have the chance to implement the plan. You should be able to see that the emperor today is not a simple person, so let's wait for the time. The longer it is, the more stable his throne will be, so we can't wait any longer to give him the opportunity to strengthen himself."

Luo Yanzhi's fingers slowly folded, then slowly released, and then quietly folded...

He remembered the humiliation he had received in front of the emperor, gritted his teeth, and said cruelly.

"Okay, just do as the teacher said!"

Wang Gan raised the tea cup: "I wish the prince a great success!"

Luo Yanzhi also raised the tea cup: "If I can achieve great things, I will never forget the teacher's kindness!"

The two cups of tea touched each other lightly, making a crisp sound.

The tea in the cup swayed gently, causing layers of ripples.

that night.

Wang Kai, who was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, committed suicide.

By the time the jailer realized something was wrong, Wang Kai's body was already cold.

He slashed his wrist and throat with a broken piece of coarse porcelain, and died of blood loss.

Before he died, he wrote a line of bloody letters on the wall with his own blood—

The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die!

Even though Dong Mingchun, the Minister of Punishment, tried his best to conceal it, the matter was spread and known to the aristocratic family.

Wang Kai's line of blood clearly showed that he did not seek death voluntarily, but was forced to commit suicide.

As for the person who persecuted him, it was naturally the current emperor.

When Luo Qinghan learned about this, he finally understood why Wang Kai said those words in the first place.

Wang Kai said that he was in the bureau and had to do some things. He also asked His Majesty to forgive him.

At that time, Luo Qinghan thought that what Wang Kai was talking about was that he ordered someone to kill Li Qingyan.

Now it seems that what Wang Kai said is actually the present thing.

He used his life and blood to forcibly cut off the last chance for peaceful coexistence between the emperor and the family.
