Late at night, in a side hall.
As soon as Li Xiangguo entered the room, he saw a middle-aged scholar covered in blood.
"Prime Minister, please save the Four Seas Gang!”
When he saw Li Xiangguo come in, the scholar knelt on the ground with a thud and cried bitterly.
"Wenze, don't be agitated. Tell me slowly!”
Li Xiangguo gently helped the middle-aged scholar up and said slowly.
This middle-aged scholar was called Xu Wenze. He was his student and had been one of the examiners for Li Xiangguo.
However, he made a mistake later and was stripped of his official position. His family was destroyed.
At the critical moment, he was saved by Qian Wanli, the leader of the Four Seas Gang. He relied on Qian Wanli to take revenge and had been planning for Qian Wanli ever since.
In addition to his status as a High Scholar, he was the one in charge of the official dealings of the Four Seas Gang.
During the New Year and holidays, it was naturally inevitable to show filial piety to the Prime Minister's residence.
Li Chongyang would even instruct him or the Four Seas Gang to handle the occasional shady matters.
Of course, in the capital, the Four Seas Gang also flaunted the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Prime Minister, it will be too late if you don't act now. Tonight, the Jinyiwei has surrounded the Four Seas Gang.”
"The Jinyiwei are full of experts, including Level Eight experts. When I left, the leader was barely holding on.”
"If the Prime Minister still doesn't come forward, the Four Seas Gang will be destroyed!”
Xu Wenze begged Li Xiangguo loudly, but he didn't notice the twinkle in Li Xiangguo's eyes when he heard his words.
"Are you saying that there are Rank-8s in the Embroidered Uniform Guards?”
"Yes, and he's very strong. The Deputy Sect Leader is a martial artist above Rank-6. He was easily killed by that person in one move.”
"Sect Master used his life to fight for a chance for me to come to the Prime Minister's residence for help!”
"Prime Minister, now, only you can come forward and save the Sect Master!”
"I beg the Prime Minister to help. The Four Seas Gang will be eternally grateful and will risk their lives for the Prime Minister in the future!”
Xu Wenze begged loudly, and Li Xiangguo nodded.
"Wen Ze, don't panic. Wait here for a moment. I'll go make arrangements!”
Hearing Li Xiangguo's answer, Xu Wenze was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
At this moment, Li Xiangguo brought Li Chongyang out of the side hall and arrived at the corner gate.
"Father, are you going to help him?”
Li Chongyang asked hesitantly.
Li Xiangguo did not answer. Instead, he took out a bamboo whistle and blew it gently.
The next moment, a middle-aged man in a brown shirt appeared expressionlessly.
"Go, take down the person in the side hall. Be careful, don't let him take poison to commit suicide.”
Li Xiangguo ordered calmly.
"I also think that Father shouldn't step forward. This is a matter between the Four Seas Gang and the Jinyiwei. It has nothing to do with us.”
"However, this person has more or less grasped some secrets about us. Now that father has captured him, the Embroidered Uniform Guards can't catch him, so it has nothing to do with us!”
Li Chongyang was pleased with himself. He felt that his father finally agreed with him.
As for the other higher-ups of the Four Seas Gang, they had no contact with the Prime Minister's Estate. The only middleman was Xu Wenze.
"Idiot!"
Li Xiangguo glanced at his son and spat out two words coldly.
This son of his was a little smart, but when it came to big things, he still did not have a plan.
What was that?
Li Chongyang looked at his father in shock. Could it be that his analysis was wrong?
"Go and help me change. Father is going to bring Xu Wenze into the palace!”
"Enter the palace?"
Li Chongyang looked at his father in shock. What was going on?
"That's right, enter the palace to apologize!"
Li Xiangguo sighed when he saw his son's puzzled expression.
"Alright, Chongyang, I'll give you a few pointers today!”
"Now that His Majesty is a Level Nine expert, and there are Level Eight Embroidered Uniform Guards under his command, and the generals of the Dragon Xiang Guards and the capital camp have also expressed their submission, do you think His Majesty can take power?”
Li Xiangguo asked his son indifferently.
Li Chongyang nodded hesitantly.”
"Tonight's Embroidered Uniform Guards operation wouldn't have gone so smoothly without the help of the Five Cities Military Department and the other military camps!”
The Brocade Guard was also a newly established department. It was impossible for it to have so many experts and soldiers. The only possibility was to transfer them from the various military camps.
At the same time, it also meant that the various military camps were submitting to the Emperor's orders.
"That's right. Since that's the case, who do you think is His Majesty's own person in the court now?”
"So what if I have some connections with the Four Seas Gang? Is that important to His Majesty?”
"Tonight, this old man will personally bring Xu Wenze into the palace to apologize. I want His Majesty to know my crimes!”
"With this crime, do you think His Majesty will continue to trust me or find a new prime minister?”
"If the entire court is filled with His Majesty's trusted aides, my actions are courting death.”
"But who in the entire court is familiar with His Majesty? Other than the mysterious Governor Chu Xiu, all the officials in the court were strangers to the Emperor!”
"At this time, this old man has confessed his crimes. All the evidence is in Your Majesty's hands. What doubts does Your Majesty have when using it?”
"Moreover, the Brocade Guard can't do things without informing Your Majesty. If I hide this person, I'm going against Your Majesty! If I hand him over, it will prove that in my heart, there is a monarch before there is a home!”
"This is called a pledge of allegiance!"
Li Xiangguo looked at his shocked son and said slowly.
This was the wisdom of his twenty years of experience. What little prime minister? He was still far from it.
Soon, Li Xiangguo saw Xu Wenze, who had been caught. At this moment, his mouth was stuffed with a rag. He was sobbing and glaring at Li Xiangguo.
"Wen Ze, the situation is irreversible. Don't blame me!”
With that, he waved his hand and got into the sedan chair, heading toward the palace.
At the same time, the fighting in the city gradually stopped.
The remaining Embroidered Uniform Guards began to clean up the battlefield.
Soon, Jin Damu from the Five Cities Military Department also sent people over, but in the end, they could only help with the work of moving the corpses.
A real shakedown wouldn't get them anything.
But even so, Jin Damu did not complain.
He had already discovered that tonight, whether it was the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards or the Factory Duke of the East Chamber.
Their strength was terrifying.
Although they were both Rank-8s, he was Rank-8 and the other two Rank-8s were on completely different levels.
Their martial arts were too strange!
Moreover, both of them were at Level Eight. What about Chu Xiu, who was in charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Martial Arts Department of the East Chamber?
Another Rank-9?
Jin Damu did not dare to imagine. At the same time, he was also nervous.
The sudden appearance of the little Emperor actually had such a powerful force under him.
So, the team of experts belonging to the Xia Royal Family had returned?
Although Jin Damu wasn't as powerful as he was now thirty years ago, he had heard some rumors about him.
These speculations were the reason why he had worked so hard tonight.
