As long as he seized the opportunity, Li Feng could use the name of dealing with the Yellow Turban Army to subdue several famous historical generals.
In this era, loyalty was advocated.
Even though the current Darkhan Dynasty was already rotten, the idea of loyalty to the ruler still had a very deep influence.
This was especially true for some of the descendants of the aristocratic families and famous generals in history.
Even if some of them were not loyal to the Great Han Dynasty, they had to care about their reputation. Naturally, they would not join the rebel forces.
Just as Li Feng was letting his imagination run wild, a servant from the Zhang Residence arrived and informed Li Feng that Zhang Rang had returned.
Li Feng hurriedly stood up and followed the servant to the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, Zhang Rang immediately said,"Follow me, the emperor wants to see you.”
Li Feng was stunned. He did not expect that Emperor Han Ling would summon him.
However, Li Feng didn't say much. He just nodded and walked out of the mansion with Zhang Rang. They directly got into a carriage and sped in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhang Rang suddenly said,"
"City Lord Li, do you know that I don't have a good reputation? All the nobles in the world criticize me in word and in writing. Now that you've openly sided with me, aren't you afraid of being implicated?”
Hearing Zhang Rang's question, Li Feng's heart shook. Zhang Rang's question seemed casual, but Li Feng knew that if he didn't answer it well, Zhang Rang might not help him. Even if he had given him some financial resources, it wouldn't have much effect.
Zhang Rang was a eunuch who had been in the palace for many years and had reached such a high position. It was obvious that he was shrewd. Li Feng probably had other intentions for saying this.
Li Feng's thoughts turned quickly. He organized his words and said,
"In the current Great Han, the gentry class enjoys many privileges. Not only in politics and economy, but even the military strength of the great clans cannot be underestimated.”
"And it is precisely because the aristocrats enjoy these privileges that the aristocrats of the world are arrogant and domineering. Not only do they annex the land of the world, but they also take bribes and bend the law.
"The aristocrats deceive the people and form cliques. They are the true parasites of the Great Han Dynasty, and most of the aristocrats do not want to improve themselves. They indulge in sensuality and extravagance, but even so, these people often hold high positions in the future. This forms a vicious cycle, causing the Great Han Dynasty to decay day by day.
"The aristocrats do not consider the interests of the country. In their hearts, there is only the family. Even if there is a change of dynasty, the aristocrats will only change their family. Therefore, if the Great Han Dynasty wants to regain its former glory, the aristocratic families must be suppressed."
As Li Feng spoke, he paid attention to Zhang Rang's expression. As Li Feng spoke more, Zhang Rang's expression became more and more relaxed.
Li Feng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that he had passed Zhang Rang's test.
" I didn't expect City Lord Li to be so far-sighted at such a young age and as a person from beyond the heavens. I agree with City Lord Li's point of view very much. Take the Yellow Turban uprising as an example. If those aristocratic families didn't run amok and bully the people, how could there be the disaster of the Yellow Turban today?”
"Lord is so worried about the country and the people. This one deeply admires you."
Although Zhang Rang was not a good person, Li Feng still flattered him.
"Sigh, in your position, you have to plan your politics. Since Your Majesty trusts me so much, I naturally have to do something for Your Majesty."
When Li Feng heard this, he knew that Zhang Rang was telling him that he had deep trust in the Emperor and had absolute authority.
Not long after, Li Feng followed Zhang Rang to the palace. Zhang Rang brought Li Feng to the main hall and instructed him to wait there before he walked in.
Li Feng waited for almost an hour.
"Your Majesty, please show your favor to the City in the Sky. The City Lord, Li Feng, has come to see you."
Not long after Li Feng closed his eyes, a sharp and loud voice suddenly sounded from the front of the hall.
Under the guidance of the Little Yellow Gate, Li Feng walked into the hall.
After entering the palace, Li Feng was immediately shocked by the majesty and magnificence of the palace. This was the first time Li Feng had stepped into the palace, and it was completely different from the palace he saw on television and movies.
Everything in front of him was far more realistic than in the movies and was also more magnificent than in the movies. The entire hall was abnormally wide, about the size of half a football field. The surroundings of the hall were carved with jade, and all kinds of jewelry and pearls could be seen everywhere. Li Feng could not estimate the value of the entire hall.
Soon, Li Feng arrived in front of the hall.
He looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a yellow dragon robe sitting high up in the hall. He must be the Spirit Monarch.
Perhaps it was due to excessive wine and sex, the Spirit Monarch's face was pale and his body was weak. However, he was the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty after all. He wore a dragon robe and had an aura that ordinary people did not have.
"I am the City Lord of the City in the Sky, Li Feng. Greetings, Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty good fortune and longevity. The Great Han Dynasty will last for thousands of generations.”
