Chapter 1397: Suppressed by Yu Wei
The so-called "kingly way" is to crush everyone who disobeys.
The so-called "dominance" means crushing even those who are obedient.
It's unclear whether what Li Qinzai is doing now is royal or domineering, but it is obvious that his words have silenced all the family heads.
Just like a heavenly master with profound Taoist teachings drew a talisman and pasted it on the ashes jar that was about to move, friends from the spirit world suddenly fell silent.
Li Qinzai's plan to destroy the Zhu family in Wu County was obviously to show the chickens to the monkeys, and all the family heads present understood his intention.
He secretly sneered in his heart, they are all heads of famous families who have seen big winds and waves, how can this little trick scare them?
But although they sneered in their hearts, no one dared to show this emotion on their faces.
The family heads still wore warm and even humble smiles. They were completely unaware of Li Qinzai's domineering words and did not dare to show a trace of sadness.
Is there any use in killing chickens to scare monkeys?
So what if you see through Li Qinzai’s intentions?The fact is that the family heads have indeed been suppressed. No one dares to look down upon the young man in front of them who is old enough to be their grandson, because they really dare to use the knife if they provoke him.
After the family heads were silent for a long time, they had to look at Lu Songxi.
The silent deadlock in front of him could only be broken by the fastest kneeling head of the Lu family. Although he despised him as a person, it did not affect Lu Songxi's role at the moment.
Lu Songxi received everyone's attention, but he calmly smiled and stroked his beard, as if he didn't see them.
The eyes of the family heads were suddenly a little complicated, ranging from impatience to mild anger to pleading.
Li Qinzai saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and was not in a hurry to speak.
The cruel words had been spoken, and Li Qinzai gave the family heads some time to digest. The court's intention was already very clear. It's time to put a golden hoop on the prominent families in Jiangnan, otherwise they would really think that Jiangnan is your family and the world.
After a long time, Lu Songxi finally nodded imperceptibly, stood up first, and toasted Li Qinzai with a glass of wine.
After the two of them finished drinking, Lu Songxi bowed and said: "Last time we said goodbye to Chang'an, I admired Duke Li for his grace. Today, I and other prominent people from the south of the Yangtze River are asking to see Duke Li. One of them is that Duke Li has come all the way to express his friendship as a landlord."
"Secondly, we knew that the Zhu family of Wu County was destroyed. Although we were shocked at first, today after Duke Li gave his explanation, we now know that the Zhu family of Wu County was guilty of a serious crime and should be punished. On behalf of the officials and people of Jiangnan, we will report to Li The Duke expressed his attitude, and the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River supported the imperial court's investigation of the Zhu family."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other six family heads suddenly changed their expressions.
Two of them even couldn't help but let out an angry roar of dissatisfaction.
As one of the heads of a prominent family, Lu Songxi supported and approved the investigation of the Zhu family on behalf of all the prominent families in Jiangnan without consulting everyone beforehand. Why should he express his position for everyone?Have we ever said we support it?
The people of the Zhu clan in Wu County were either killed or interrogated and imprisoned, but the traces of their centuries of prominence are not so easy to erase.
Having been in the south of the Yangtze River for so many years, generations of people have managed it, and the eight prominent families have married generations of men and women because of their interests. It can be said that no matter from the bloodline or the chain of interests, the eight prominent families have a relationship where one is prosperous and one is harmed. .
Lu Songxi's words were equivalent to taking the lead in confirming Li Qinzai's move to destroy the Zhu family. The Zhu family deserved to be destroyed, which was very satisfying. Lu Songxi's statement was to tell Li Qinzai that the Zhu family incident was completely over.
Hearing someone in the tent expressing dissatisfaction, Lu Songxi turned his head with a smile, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile: "Do you agree with what I said? The Zhu family is gone. We and other noble families should take the Zhu family as a lesson and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. The emperor must not repeat Zhu's mistakes, do you think so?"
This sentence made everyone stunned. Then looking at Li Qinzai, who was sitting in the main seat with a bright smile, everyone was suddenly awe-inspiring and shocked.Everyone understood the implication of Lu Songxi's words.
The Zhu family has been destroyed, what do you still want?I have the guts to stand up now and complain about Zhu's injustice in front of Duke Li.
Do you have the guts to openly rebel in front of this ruthless Duke?
If he dares to destroy one prominent family, he doesn't mind destroying the second and third families. Maybe they came here with the intention of destroying the prominent families in Jiangnan. You guys are standing up now, which just gives them the perfect reason to take action.
Is it worth it to fight against the imperial court for the sake of a famous family that has been wiped out?
After thinking about it, everyone immediately understood what Lu Songxi said, and even had to smile and nod in agreement in front of Li Qinzai.
"What the head of the Lu family said is true. The Zhu family has violated the law and is disobedient. It is not inappropriate for Duke Li to destroy him. We and other prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River support it with both hands."
"We have always been loyal to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Zhu family has learned from this. I should use this to warn the children of the clan not to violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty and bring disaster to the family."
Li Qinzai's smile grew brighter when he heard everyone's agreement.
Hey, that's right, now we have a somewhat harmonious atmosphere for chatting.
At the same time, Li Qinzai became increasingly certain that his move to destroy the Zhu family was indeed the right one.
Before chatting, knock one down with your fist, and then the rest will listen to you calmly and humbly. Without using any thunderous tactics, will these old foxes here take the words of this young man seriously?
Li Qinzai smiled and toasted everyone with a glass of wine. He put down the wine cup and said slowly: "Zhu's matter has been reported to the emperor. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment will come to Jiangnan to verify the truth soon. I have something else to tell you..."
Lu Songxi cupped his hands and smiled: "I'm all ears."
Li Qinzai grunted and said: "The Zhu family members have been questioned, but all the properties, manors, shops, etc. under their names have been sealed up. All the family properties once owned by the Zhu family have been confiscated by the court. Family heads, please be merciful and don't do anything." Carrying out annexation and occupation..."
"Don't reach out for the things belonging to the imperial court, otherwise...it will make things difficult for me. I just destroyed a prominent family, and I really don't want to destroy another family for such a trivial matter. Do you understand what I mean?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Originally, the seven prominent families really had the idea of annexing the Zhu family's property. After all, this piece of fat meat was so memorable that everyone wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.
But Li Qinzai spoke up and warned everyone face to face. The seven family heads understood that they probably couldn't eat this fat meat. It turned out that Duke Li had been thinking about it for a long time.
After killing him as a warning, Li Qinzai had established his authority in the hearts of the heads of the prominent Jiangnan families. No one dared to take his words seriously. Now that Li Qinzai had spoken, everyone immediately gave up the idea of annexing the Zhu family's property.
Lu Songxi took the lead again and took the initiative to express that he would never care about the Zhu family property. The other family heads had to force a smile and agree.The harmonious chat atmosphere in the tent has not changed at all.
At this time, Lu Songxi stood up again, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "I am here to pay a visit to Duke Li today, and there is one more thing I would like to discuss with Duke Li."
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the Lu family leader says so."
Lu Songxi quickly glanced at the other family heads, and then said slowly: "His Royal Highness Prince Teng is promoting a new grain species. It is said that this species is called 'sweet potato', which is cold-resistant and drought-resistant, and has extremely high yields."
"Last year, we disobeyed King Teng because we were ignorant of this thing. Now that we know the magic of sweet potatoes, I, the Lu family of Wu County, are willing to allocate [-]% of the land under my name to plant sweet potatoes in response to the imperial decree."
