Song Xiang looked at Zhang Yu with some confusion and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"It's simple. Send Zhang Fu's suicide note out and let the whole city know. At the same time, pin the blame on Zheng Xuhong, saying he framed Zhang Fu and forced Zhang Fu's family to commit suicide." Zhang Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "Forget it. Just say he killed Zhang Fu's family. Furthermore, include the deaths of these servants in the count. Let everyone know that it was Zheng Xuhong who killed these servants. This time, Zheng Xuhong and the King of Joseon will be in dire straits."
"I understand." Song Xiang nodded and said solemnly, "I'll do it right away."
Zhang Yu also nodded and said nothing more.
During this period of time, Seoul has been in turmoil, with one thing happening after another, making it a bit overwhelming.
A while ago, Zhang Fu’s case caused a lot of controversy, and now something happened again.
At first, rumors spread on a small scale that Zhang Fu's family had died. Not only had the whole family died, but their deaths were particularly tragic. The person who did this was Zheng Xuhong.
Although it's just a rumor, it's very true.
In addition, another piece of news also came out: all the servants of Zhang Fujia were killed. Everyone was dead, and the culprit was Zheng Xuhong.
Some people say that Zheng Xuhong is the boss behind these businesses and Zhang Fu is just a scapegoat. However, it was Zhang Fu who was unwilling to be a scapegoat, so Zheng Xuhong took such a cruel action.
All of a sudden, public opinion was in turmoil and Zheng Xuhong became the target of public criticism.
Kim Jong-min's home.
Five or six elderly people sat together, none of them in the mood for tea. Their faces were all solemn.
Kim Jong-min sat in the main seat, next to him was Zhao Chenqi.
Zhao Chenqi glanced at Jin Zhengmin and said slowly, "Master Jin, I'm afraid something is wrong this time."
Jin Zhengmin nodded and said, "It's true that something is wrong. The rumors spread too quickly. It's obvious that someone is manipulating this. But we can't find out who did it at the moment, so this matter is a bit difficult to handle."
Everyone's faces looked unhappy, and they had already noticed it.
After all, everyone is an old hand in the officialdom. If there was some hesitation at the beginning, now they are doubtful.
This incident made everyone terrified.
Zhao Chenqi looked at Jin Zhengmin and asked worriedly, "Sir, what should we do?"
The people present had different expressions on their faces, and their faces were all solemn.
Now they had only two choices. One was to seek the truth and find out who was behind this. As for the struggle with the young faction, they had to put it aside for now. They should all rally around the king and find out who was behind this.
Another approach, of course, is to kick someone when they're down, to take advantage of their situation. Zheng Xuhong's case has become a major issue, and no matter what, this person can no longer be saved. Find a way to get rid of him.
Zhang Fu was dead, and if Zheng Xuhong fell, the young faction would have lost two key generals in succession. The benefits that his side could reap from this were innumerable, and they could even regain the upper hand.
There is another thing that can be done, which is to take the opportunity to help the second prince ascend to the throne.
Jin Zhengmin glanced at Zhao Chenqi, squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Old man, you think a lot! Zhao Chenqi snorted in his heart.
He originally wanted to encourage Kim Jong-min to step forward, but he didn't expect this guy to kick the ball back.
After a brief pause, Zhao Chenqi said, "Since things have come to this, let's just go all out and overthrow Zheng Xuhong and replace her with our people. Besides, this is a good opportunity to replace the Crown Prince."
No one objected to the first option; it was simply a matter of choice. Furthermore, there was no downside to this choice; everyone would benefit more.
But after hearing the latter part, everyone's expressions changed.
If this matter isn't handled properly, it could lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan. While there are more advantages, it's still a difficult matter. The Crown Prince's position is relatively secure, and he's still in the Ming Dynasty. Changing the Crown Prince is no small matter; it requires the Ming Dynasty's support. If the Ming Dynasty doesn't support it, your change will be in vain.
Jin Zhengmin glanced at Zhao Chenqi and asked with some understanding, "Have you contacted the Ming Dynasty?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned and looked at Zhao Chenqi.
Everyone knew this old man was no ordinary person. They'd been around for so many years, and even though they were all from the same party, they'd had their fair share of arguments. After all these years, they'd gotten to know each other better. Zhao Chenqi wasn't the type to act without confidence. Since he dared to make such a suggestion, he must have had some information.
Jin Zhengmin's question hit the nail on the head. If Zhao Chenqi really had the support of the Ming Dynasty, this thing could really be done.
Everyone looked at Zhao Chenqi, hoping that he could give everyone an answer.
"Nothing can be hidden from Lord Jin," Zhao Chenqi said with a wry smile. "It's said that the Crown Prince can't return. The Ming Dynasty wants to keep him there. The Ming Dynasty envoys came this time to find a suitable candidate. And these current messes are likely related to this matter. Although we don't know who is behind this, it's not surprising that they would do these things for the Crown Prince's position."
Everyone's faces changed, and one of them hurriedly asked, "Master Zhao, is this news true?"
