Yun Li's words were like a showdown with Empress Xu.
Facing Yun Li's sharp gaze, Empress Xu felt angry and helpless.
Yun Li’s wings are really completely hard!
Moreover, Yun Li had completely laid his cards on her.
Yun Li suppressed the Xu family because he was afraid that the Xu family would control the government!
As Yun Li's biological mother, she certainly didn't want Yun Li to become a puppet.
But at the same time, she also didn't want the Xu family to be deliberately suppressed by Yun Li.
Others support the new emperor to ascend the throne so that he can enjoy wealth and glory!
The Xu family supported the new emperor to ascend the throne, but were suppressed by the new emperor?
What's the reason for this?
...
...
Empress Xu tried hard to suppress her anger and said with a dark face: "I don't want to run the government for you. You are my son, and I hope you can sit firmly on the throne more than anyone else!"
"Then please don't interfere in government affairs!"
Yun Li's eyes were still sharp. "Mother, you should understand that it is better for me to deal with some people in advance than to deal with them when they are impeached by the ministers in the court! Dealing with them now is nothing more than demoting them. When the court officials impeach them, they may not even be able to save their lives!"
"you……"
Faced with Yun Li's toughness, Empress Xu was immediately very angry.
"Mother, you are also confused."
Yun Li sighed softly, and his tone gradually softened. "As long as I ascend the throne, how can I ignore the prosperity and wealth of the Xu family? If I can let them go, I can naturally promote them! I haven't even ascended the throne yet, but I'm already protecting the Xu family. What do you think the civil and military officials in the court will think?"
Yun Li also didn't want to fall out with the Xu family at this time.
Although he has gradually taken control of the government, the Xu family is still the most important force in his hands.
If we fall out with the Xu family now, we will undoubtedly be cutting off our own arm.
Moreover, it would take a while to find a suitable person to replace Xu Shifu.
However, the various actions of the Xu family have caused his strong dissatisfaction.
Once he completely controls the government, the first family he will weaken will be the Xu family!
If he continues to let the Xu family grow bigger, he will probably become a puppet of the Xu family.
"Go and tell your uncle about these things yourself later!"
Empress Xu said angrily.
"I will naturally tell this to my uncle."
Yun Li sighed, his face full of helplessness, "I hope that my mother will understand my difficulties and help me persuade and comfort my uncle! My mother and I are one, we will prosper together and suffer together! If I follow the footsteps of the former crown prince, won't my mother and the Xu family be liquidated?"
"this……"
Empress Xu was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She agreed with this point.
She knew best what happened to the former crown prince's old party after the former crown prince fell.
The previous queen was deposed and sent to Ci'an Temple to become a nun.
Seeing that Empress Xu seemed to have come to her senses, Yun Li continued, "Father always said that a journey of a hundred steps begins halfway! I haven't even officially ascended the throne yet, and those people have begun to take advantage of my power to do evil. They are harming me and my mother!"
"It's not that serious, right?" Empress Xu frowned.
"It's not serious now, but if it's not restrained and punished, it will sooner or later lead to disaster!"
Yun Li said seriously, "As long as I am not on the throne, this matter will be uncertain! Even I am cautious and afraid of making mistakes. How can I allow them to act recklessly and ruin my plan?"
Empress Xu was speechless and could not speak for a long time.
Yun Li has indeed grown a lot.
He is not as impulsive as before, and his edge has gradually become restrained.
Various things are considered more carefully.
Logically speaking, she, as a mother, should be happy.
But for some reason, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.
What she feared most was that Yun Li would take action against the Xu family after ascending the throne.
Just as Empress Xu was thinking about how to persuade Yun Li to treat the Xu family well, a servant hurried over, simply saluted Empress Xu, and then whispered in Yun Li's ear.
Hearing the servant's words, Yun Li's expression suddenly changed.
Something happened to Zhang Xu!
"I have some urgent matters to deal with. I will ask the Crown Princess and the others to come and accompany my mother!"
Yun Li didn't bother to say more to Empress Xu and left immediately.
Soon, Yun Li saw Wei Lu, who looked somewhat embarrassed, in the inner palace.
This man was one of the people he sent to protect Zhang Xu. Even among his guards, he was considered a good fighter.
"What happened? How could something happen to Zhang Xu?"
Yun Li's face was dark, and he looked at Wei Lu with smoldering eyes, "What on earth do you do for a living? Three hundred people, and you can't even protect one Zhang Xu?"
Yun Li was so angry!
He had just been feeling a little better recently, and then this happened again.
In the past, Zhang Xu wouldn’t care even if he was chopped into meat paste.
But now, Zhang Xu is his God of Wealth!
He even planned to train Zhang Xu well and make him the person to replace Xu Shifu!
Facing Yun Li's anger, Wei Shu lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. It's not that we are not doing our job well, but the Sixth Prince's people were well prepared. We were targeted by them as soon as we left the imperial city! Someone must have tipped off the Sixth Prince in advance..."
Yun Li's face twitched fiercely, and he asked angrily: "How many people did that bastard send to attack you?"
“Hundreds of people!”
Wei Lu replied: "Those people are first-class fighters, and they attacked by surprise. We are really no match for them..."
Talking about this, Wei Lu still feels a lingering fear.
Those people were so scary, just like ghosts.
Before they could react, half of the three hundred people were knocked down, and even Zhang Xu and his wife and their child fell into the hands of that group.
"Useless! Three hundred people were beaten by one hundred people and they had no power to fight back!"
Yun Li cursed angrily, and then asked with his eyes spitting fire: "Are you sure they are Lao Liu's men?"
"Sure!"
Wei Shu buried his head tightly and said firmly: "Zhang Xu was almost killed on the spot by them. It was a leader who stopped them and said that they would take Zhang Xu, the traitor, back to hand him over to the Sixth Prince for punishment. That's why Zhang Xu was taken away alive..."
Listening to Wei Lu's words, Yun Li clenched his fists tightly.
Damn Old Six!
As long as I feel a little better, this bastard will definitely create some trouble for me!
This bastard has spies in the imperial city!
Otherwise, that bastard would never have known Zhang Xu's whereabouts so clearly and made adequate preparations in advance.
Thinking about Zhang Xu being captured by Yun Zheng, Yun Li felt a pang of pain.
This is the real God of Wealth!
He has high hopes for Zhang Xu!
This bastard's punch really hurt himself.
Yun Li took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and growled, "Go down and receive twenty military sticks! For those who died, each person will be given fifty taels of silver!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Wei Lu hurried to express his gratitude.
Yun Li was in a very bad mood and left in anger...
