As soon as Huai Bingzhu asked this question, the heads of the various aristocratic families present immediately exploded.

"Fight head-on? How to resist?"

"King Quan has an army of 200,000 under his command. Even if our families have many tribes, it will be difficult for them to fight together!"

"When Xue Qing, the humble son, was in power, his regime was unstable and our family did not confront him head-on. We only blocked his two lifebloods of food and wealth. Now King Quan is extremely loved by the people under his rule, and he has full military power in his hands. We

How dare she resist?"

The heads of all the aristocratic families present looked stern and said inwardly.

Huai Bingzhu listened quietly and then smiled: "Since you all know this, you still want to go against His Highness Prince Quan?"

"Come on, our family can no longer handle King Quan."

"It's tough, hehe, I don't think any aristocratic family wants to try this road. Today we gather to discuss these things, can we change anything?"

Huai Bingzhu said this, and you could hear the needle drop again in the hall.

"By doing this, King Quan has offended the nobles of the world. We can work with the nobles from other places to restrain King Quan!" The head of a first- or third-grade family said in a deep voice in the silence.

Huai Bingzhu sneered: "As far as I know, although the aristocratic families in other places are also angry with King Quan's behavior, they are not out of proportion. Aren't there some sexy rumors about King Quan some time ago?"

"Then the big families in other places come up with ways to deal with King Quan. Oh, how ridiculous? Do you think His Highness King Quan pays attention to those rumors?"

"Master Huai's words are right."

The head of the first- and fourth-grade family spoke in a low voice: "King Quan is very powerful. Not long ago, he caught a few people who were spreading rumors. He killed the chickens to scare the monkeys and hanged these people for the crime of lese majeste."

"When those people were arrested, they also revealed the mastermind behind the scenes, which was the Su family of the sixth-grade family in Huanshui County. The mastermind of the Su family was also hanged, and the rest of the implicated clan members were all sent to the reform camp.

From now on, he will be released from the camp and sent to the countryside to educate people and serve his sentence."

"How did you know about this? Why didn't I hear the news?" The head of the Huang family who had just argued with Huai Bingzhu asked with a frown.

"My family is related by marriage to the Su clan in Huanshui County, so we got the news earlier. In ten days and a half, the news will reach Kuzhou City, and all the family heads will know it then."

After the head of the fourth-grade family said this, the heads of the family present had a new understanding of Lin Zhihuang's methods.

When Huai Bingzhu saw that the heads of several big families present were silent, he sighed and said, "Let's all disperse today. I hope you will organize less gatherings like this next time."

This is too blatant. It is obviously just a show to King Quan. Could it be that King Quan would be afraid when he saw these aristocratic families gathering together?

Who are you trying to scare?

King Quan was a powerful man who started from scratch with a female body, stayed dormant under the suspicious King Lu for many years, and later beheaded Xue Qingxiang with his own sword, and was officially crowned king by the court.

Would such a person be frightened into submission by such a crowd-like intimidation?

It’s simply a fantasy.

Although Huai Bingzhu was also dissatisfied with King Quan's implementation of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries system under his rule, he was dissatisfied. Knowing that he was facing a dead end and deliberately looking for death was another matter.

A meeting where the heads of various aristocratic families tried to "make trouble", but ended without any problems after Huai Bingzhu, the head of the Huai family, made a blunt statement.

At night, the contents of today's discussions gathered together by the heads of various aristocratic families in Kuzhou City were presented to Lin Zhihuang's desk by the followers who followed him everywhere.

Emperor Lin Zhihuang read the report with a glance, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with great interest: "Huai Bingzhu, the head of the Huai family, is a very knowledgeable person."

"If you don't know what's interesting, you will be the first to operate on him, Huaishi. How dare he not know what's interesting?" Huang Qijin flicked the lamp in front of Lin Zhihuang's writing desk to be brighter and said with a smile.

Lin Zhihuang glanced at Huang Qijin and smiled: "Did Chen Xi know about it again?"

"Qi Jin, I see that you have been very murderous recently. Are you in need of an operation?" Huang Qi Jin gave Lin Zhihuang an angry look, put away the sign for adjusting the lights, and carefully began to sort out the manuscripts that Lin Zhihuang had written today, and prepared I'll take it later and burn it myself.

Lin Zhihuang's handwriting and manuscripts cannot be exposed easily, and it would be a big trouble for someone to take advantage of them.

Lin Zhihuang's bookcases were always organized by Huang Qijin himself without relying on others.

"The one who knows me is Chen Xi." Lin Zhihuang stood up and was in a good mood, stretched out his hand to scratch Huang Qi's straight nose, and teased her.

"My lord..." Huang Qijin blushed: "If you were a gentleman, I'm afraid you would be chased and beaten by all the ladies."

Lin Zhihuang imitated Bian Hong's careless smile and said with a low smile: "If I were a gentleman, how could any of the ladies be willing to chase me? I'm afraid they would love me to death."

"But I have a heart that is devoted to one person, and I cannot love all the little ladies."

Huang Qijin couldn't stop laughing: "If you are like this, I'm afraid you will provoke those little ladies to love you one after another."

Lin Zhihuang joked with Huang Qijin for a while and then rested under her service.

The next day, Pei Lingyao sent a greeting card to Prince Quan's Mansion to invite him to see him.

Lin Zhihuang summoned Pei Lingyao in the teahouse.

"Why is uncle free to come to your door today?"

Pei Lingyao bowed to Lin Zhihuang in a formal manner. This time he stood up and replied with a smile: "Your Highness, I know you are busy. How dare you come to disturb me when I have nothing to do?"

Lin Zhihuang smiled, waved his sleeves and motioned for Pei Lingyao to sit in front of the tea table, and said with a smile: "Uncle is my elder. I want to see my niece. When can I come?"

Pei Lingyao saw Lin Zhihuang put down his royal title and knew that she wanted to chat with him, his uncle, so he relaxed and said, "Your Highness is approachable, so I'll be happy for you."

Having a niece with a high status is also a sweet burden.

Lin Zhihuang smiled: "What is the purpose of uncle coming here today?"

"Uncle is here today to be the middleman."

"The middle man?" Lin Zhihuang picked up the tea cup that his servant had already brewed and took a sip.

Pei Lingyao did not show off, and went straight to the point: "Huai Bingzhu, the head of the Huai family, would like to surrender the seven salt farms under his control to you."

"Oh?" Lin Zhihuang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Master Huai is willing to give up?"

Pei Ling smiled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said with a chuckle: "I would like to tell you that the Huai family leader made this decision a little late."

When Emperor Lin Zhihuang opened Guanshu Pavilion, the Huai family should have bowed their heads wisely. Now that Emperor Lin Zhihuang has implemented the new system, he has raised the butcher's knife against the aristocratic family.

The Huai family came to offer the salt field at this time. No matter how you look at it, it seems that you were forced to do it because of the situation.

It's time to get downgraded.

"You can't say that." Lin Zhihuang smiled and shook his head, disagreeing with Pei Lingyao's words.
