Chapter 559 Dealing with the Gao Family

"Grandmaster, now that Liu Nayan has been exiled to Zhenzhou, what should we do next?" Li Xiang asked.

"Next, we will move to the Gao family and deal with Gao Zheng, another confidant of the prince." Tian You said.

"What does Grandmaster plan to do?" Li Xiang asked.

"Recently, I learned that Gao Zheng himself often goes to places of entertainment, and as a favorite of the prince, he often embezzles the property of the Eastern Palace." Tian You said.

"Oh! In this way, we can put Gao Zheng to death and eliminate one of the confidants of the prince." Li Xiang said.

"Gao Zheng's crimes are not enough to punish him with death, nor will he be exiled. With the merits of the Gao family, at most he will be dismissed and go home." Tian You said.

"What's the point? Even if Gao Zheng loses his official position, as long as Li Jue is still the crown prince, he is still the crown prince's confidant and can still serve the crown prince." Li Xiang said. What a

great deal of effort it takes to make him lose his official position. Don't forget that Gao Zheng is just a chief minister in charge of food. He is usually in charge of the food of the crown prince's mansion.

Even if he loses his official position, he can have other excuses to enter and exit the East Palace. What difference does it make whether he loses his official position or not.

"Your Highness, please be patient and listen to me." Tian You said.

"Please speak, Grand Tutor." Li Xiang said.

"Gao Zheng is not worth worrying about. Our target is not Gao Zheng, but the Gao family. The Gao family has great influence in the court. Only by eliminating the Gao family can the crown prince be injured." Tian You said.

His target is naturally not Gao Zheng, a small figure, but the family power behind him. The Gao family is also one of the powerful backers of the prince.

Only by eliminating the Gao family can the prince's power be weakened. If you want to kick the Gao family out of the court, you must go through Gao Zheng.

"What does the Grand Tutor plan to do?" Li Xiang asked.

Tian You stepped forward and whispered in Li Xiang's ear. Li Xiang's eyes lit up and he nodded continuously, admiring Tian You.

"Grand Tutor, this plan is very good! Let's do it now!" Li Xiang said with a smile.

"Wait a minute, King Wei! It is not easy for King Wei and I to come forward in this matter. King Wei should not forget that the wall has ears." Tian You said. "

But if we don't do it, who will take care of this matter?" Li Xiang asked.

Now there is only Tian You and four guards around him. If they don't do it, who else can do it?

"Don't worry, King Wei. I have already found a suitable candidate. He is willing to work for King Wei. Let him do it." Tian You said.

"Where is this person now? After the matter is done, I will definitely reward this person. When I become the crown prince in the future, I will not treat this person unfairly." Li Xiang said.

"Selling vegetables! Selling vegetables! Fresh vegetables are cheap!" As soon as Li Xiang finished speaking, there was a shouting outside.

"Here comes this person!" Tian You's eyes lit up and smiled, turning back to tell the guards beside him.

"Go and call the vegetable seller in."

"Yes!" The guards took the order and left, calling the vegetable farmers in.

Li Xiang looked a little uncomfortable. Tian You entrusted such a big task to a vegetable vendor. What if he messed up?

"Dear guests, do you want to buy vegetables? They are all fresh, just picked from the fields, and grown at home. They are cheap." The vegetable farmer said with a smile.

Tian You stood up and came to the vegetable farmer, looked through the vegetables in his box and said, "Your vegetables are good! There are not many of us here, and we can't eat so much. Give me a pound of these."

While talking, while no one was paying attention, the two exchanged secret signals, and Tian You whispered, "Let's start!"

The vegetable farmers weighed a pound of vegetables for Tian You, and left with the vegetables.

"Is it appropriate to leave it to such a person to deal with?" Li Xiang said with some dissatisfaction.

He felt that Tian You was a little unreliable now. How could he not ask an official to handle such a big matter, but to ask a vegetable farmer? He might not even know where the government office is.

"Don't worry, Prince Wei. This man is a servant of a Yushi in the court. He is just responsible for helping us to make contacts. It is this Yushi who helps us to act." Tian You said.

"So that's how it is. I blamed the Taifu wrongly!" Li Xiang apologized.

"After Gao Zheng is resolved, should our next goal be to resolve Zhang Da'a?" Li Xiang asked.

After resolving Zhang Da'a, Li Jue would have no one he could trust. It would be difficult for Li Jingxuan to do it alone, and he would be closer to the position of the crown prince.

"No! Prince Wei should submit a petition to His Majesty and ask to return to his fiefdom." Tian You said.

"What? If you let me go back to my fiefdom, won't everything we have done during this period be in vain?" Li Xiang was surprised.

He was getting more and more confused about what Tian You wanted to do. Wasn't he trying to help him seize the position of crown prince?

Why did he let him return to his fiefdom? Didn't he know that it would be difficult for him to come to Chang'an again after he returned?

"Prince Wei, just believe me. I won't harm you. This is just a way of retreating to advance. His Majesty will definitely keep Prince Wei and entrust him with important tasks." "

Only in this way can the crown prince be completely overthrown. Otherwise, even if all the crown prince's confidants are eliminated, as long as His Majesty does not abolish the crown prince, the crown prince will still be the crown prince." Tian You said. "

Okay! I will listen to the Grand Tutor in everything." Li Xiang said.

In fact, he was still very worried. Would his father approve him to go back to his fiefdom? What would he do then?

A memorial impeaching Gao Zheng was delivered to Li Chengqian. After reading it, Li Chengqian was very angry. What kind of monsters were around the prince?

Immediately, Li Chengqian issued an edict to hand Gao Zheng over to the Dali Temple for trial.

After the Dali Temple interrogated him and confirmed that everything was correct, the Dali Temple sent the interrogation report to Li Chengqian.

After reading it, Li Chengqian felt that Gao Zheng's problem was not serious, so he issued an edict to remove him from his position as the Prince's Chief Steward, let him go back and reflect on himself, and let Gao Zheng's father Gao Xingzhen discipline him strictly.

But before that, someone entered Gao's house and said something to Gao Xingzhen and others?

After the man left, the Gao family looked unhappy and decided to make a clean break with Gao Zheng when he came back, so as not to bring trouble to the Gao family.

Gao Zheng, who had no idea what was going on, just returned home and was knocked to the ground by his father Gao Xingzhen, who rushed out. Before he could react, he drew his saber and stabbed Gao Zheng in the throat.

Gao Zheng was horrified and dodged the fatal blow, but his neck was still cut. Gao Zheng pushed Gao Xingzhen away and turned to run away.

The Gao family would not let him do that. Seeing his brother fail, Gao Xingzhen immediately came over with a knife and stabbed Gao Zheng in the abdomen.

Gao Zheng's brothers also chased after him and hacked Gao Zheng to death. Gao Rui stepped forward and chopped off his head and threw it into the street.
