Yun Zheng forcefully quelled the petition.
However, the matter is not over yet.
Yun Zheng really wanted to know who was behind all this.
He is not afraid of his enemies, but he doesn't like the feeling of not knowing who his enemies are.
The most suspicious person is naturally the Crown Prince Yun Li.
However, Yun Zheng also knew that the mastermind behind this matter was not necessarily Yun Li.
This is just like the previous assassination incident, there are too many people who are worthy of suspicion.
Maybe the assassination and the mastermind behind this incident are the same person.
Thinking of the assassination attempt, Yun Zheng frowned again.
The people he sent to the interior have been gone for such a long time.
...
...
Up to now, no news has been brought back.
He didn't even know whether those people were dead or alive.
The enemy is not scary, what is scary is the enemy hiding in the dark.
We must find this person as soon as possible.
Just when Yun Zheng was daydreaming, Ye Zi and Miao Yin came over.
"How's the old guy?"
Yun Zheng collected his thoughts and asked Miaoyin.
"Nothing serious."
Miaoyin shook her head slightly and said fiercely: "It's not that easy for this old guy to die!"
Gao Shizhen was just unconscious due to anger, and although he vomited blood twice, it was not fatal.
Yun Zheng didn't want Gao Shizhen to die like this, and she certainly didn't want Gao Shizhen to die like this either.
When Gao Shizhen wakes up, they will interrogate him again!
No matter what, we must at least make sure whether this was done by Gao Shizhen personally or someone was pushing it behind the scenes.
Whether we can find out who is behind this matter is another matter.
Yun Zheng felt relieved only after he was sure that Gao Shizhen was not seriously injured.
He was not afraid of being regarded as a public enemy by the gentry of the world.
He also believed that this group of people could not represent the world's gentry.
After all, there are only a few weirdos like Gao Shizhen.
However, he needed Gao Shizhen to be alive.
He wanted to let Gao Shizhen see how he could turn him from a great scholar respected by everyone into an old villain despised by everyone.
He also wants to let the world know that he is not as kind as they imagine!
If you want to ruin his reputation, he can be magnanimous.
But if anyone dares to humiliate your woman, don't blame yourself for being cruel!
Ye Zi came to Yun Zheng and said with a worried look on her face: "Although this matter has come to an end for the time being, there may still be some troubles in the future. Should we make some preparations in advance?"
"No preparation is needed."
Yun Zheng didn't care. "I hope that all the nobles in the world will come to Shuobei to criticize me! It just so happens that winter in Shuobei is coming soon, and the coal mine is still in great need of people!"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, the two women couldn't help but smile slightly.
They actually believed that Yun Zheng could really do this.
However, Ye Zi still patiently persuaded: "I know you are not afraid of making enemies with the nobles of the world, but perhaps we can think of some softer ways to minimize..."
"Don't take the nobles too seriously." Yun Zheng interrupted Ye Zi, his face full of contempt, "The nobles are the most afraid of death! If we can't make them respect us, then let them fear us! Do you believe that as long as we put a knife on their necks, more than 80% of the nobles will be more obedient than dogs?"
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Ye Zi couldn't help but feel helpless.
She felt that Yun Zheng took this matter too easily.
Yun Zheng is indeed strong enough.
So powerful that he is not afraid of any noble clan.
Under his powerful rule, many nobles would certainly choose to surrender.
But the surrender was only temporary.
As long as there is a slight chance, these people will jump out to stir up trouble.
Even if we settle this matter today, something else may pop up tomorrow.
Throughout history, any prosperous era has been achieved based on long-term stability.
If there is only killing and power, any prosperous era will gradually fall apart.
She wanted to persuade Yun Zheng, but she didn't know how.
Seeing Ye Zi still with a sad face, Yun Zheng couldn't help but hold her hand and said with a smile: "There are old noble families in the world, and naturally there will be new noble families! I can kill all the old noble families, or I can create new noble families!"
There are some things that they don't need to do themselves.
It's not a bad idea to use the opponent's force to counter attack him!
Facing Yun Zheng's determined gaze, Ye Zi and Miao Yin were both stunned.
When necessary, can we use the new nobles to fight against the old nobles?
This... is a good idea!
After chatting with Ye Zi and Miao Yin for a while, Zuo Ren sent someone to report that Gao Shizhen had woken up.
However, this old guy's emotions were very unstable, and he wanted to commit suicide as soon as he woke up.
Fortunately, there are people guarding him, so the old guy has no chance to die for the time being.
"Seeking death?"
Yun Zheng snorted disdainfully, "This old guy is really naive. Does he think that he can die just because he wants to?"
It’s too late to want to die now!
Soon, Yun Zheng brought Miaoyin and Ye Zi to the door of the room where Gao Shizhen was accommodated.
Before they entered the house, they heard Gao Shizhen crying loudly in the house.
The old man's crying was heart-wrenching, and he must have been really sad and angry.
Yun Zheng pushed open the door.
When they saw Yun Zheng and the others, the people guarding the room hurriedly saluted.
Yun Zheng waved his hand to signal the others to step back, then slowly walked up to Gao Shizhen.
"Kill me now! I have lived an upright life and would rather die than suffer such humiliation..."
As soon as he saw Yun Zheng, Gao Shizhen burst into tears again.
"You want to die, it's easy."
Yun Zheng looked at Gao Shizhen coldly, "You should know that Beihuan has surrendered! I can order someone to forge a few letters of secret communication between your Gao family and Beihuan. Tell me, if the world knew that your Gao family had been secretly colluding with the enemy and selling out the country, would the Gao family be despised by the world for generations to come?"
As Yun Zheng finished speaking, Gao Shizhen's crying suddenly stopped.
Gao Shizhen looked at the young prince in front of him with tears in his eyes and fear in his heart.
Of course he knew the consequences of Yun Zheng's actions.
If Yun Zheng really did this, the Gao family would be completely nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
Even if he died, he would be branded as a traitor.
This was simply the most cruel torture for Gao Shizhen, who attached great importance to his reputation.
"Gao Shizhen, you are too pedantic."
Yun Zheng stared at Gao Shizhen coldly and continued to attack him, "You have read books all your life, but you still don't understand a single truth!"
"What...reason?" Gao Shizhen asked stupidly, his voice trembling a little.
"Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword!"
Yun Zheng replied coldly.
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Gao Shizhen's old face twitched uncontrollably.
After a long time, a look of self-mockery appeared on Gao Shizhen's old face again.
yes!
Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword!
Yun Zheng holds this sword and can arbitrarily confuse right and wrong.
Even if he didn't do something, Yun Zheng could still pin it on him.
When facing Yun Zheng's blade, his disciples and those scholars chose to follow Yun Zheng to slander him without hesitation, and they were even worse than Yun Zheng.
And he had no power to resist at all except using the title of great scholar to bluff people.
Even the thought of dying is impossible.
At this moment, Gao Shizhen suddenly realized how stupid he was...
