Chapter 94: Common nobles and old nobles                                                         �

Wang Kang looked at Zhang Lanfeng in surprise, but he didn't expect that the involvement behind him would be so deep.

"I would like to ask Brother Zhang to give me some advice."

Wang Kang bowed and asked, he didn't understand political power struggles. This was not something that could be used in his mind.

"Brother Kang is serious. Even if I don't tell you about these things, you will know sooner or later."

Zhang Lanfeng smiled and said, "I just informed you in advance to let you have some preparation."

He coughed lightly, his eyes fell outside the door and spoke, "This has to start with our Zhao State."

"Our Zhao State is an old country. It has been established for nearly a hundred years. As time goes by, the national strength is gradually declining. The previous generations of Zhao Emperors are very happy and have launched foreign wars many times..."

"There is no actual gain, but rather consumes a lot of national strength. Some people also benefit from the war and are awarded the title of nobles!"

"As a long time passed, these old aristocrats gradually grew, controlling the government, holding military power, and occupying huge wealth resources... Such a situation will naturally bring harm to the country without any benefit!"

Zhang Lanfeng paused and said, "When this issue attracted the attention of the king, it was too late. The old aristocrats had no power to develop, and it would affect the whole body with one move!"

"And at this moment, the current king Zhao Emperor succeeded to the throne. This Zhao Emperor was rich and powerful. When he just ascended the throne, he issued a series of decrees to divide the powers of the prime minister, establish the left prime minister and the right prime minister, and on the basis of the Censorate, establish the inner court's Jinyiwei to supervise the court officials!"

"Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Wang Kang was suddenly shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, what's the problem!" Zhang Lanfeng said in confusion.

"It's nothing... you keep talking!" Wang Kang waved his hand, and his mind was confused. Why did even the Jinyiwei come out? This... history is too powerful.

Zhang Lanfeng continued to say, and after a moment, Wang Kang took a deep breath and finally understood.

The new king succeeded to the throne and stabilized the court, so he began to deal with the old nobles.

However, it is not so easy for old nobles to deal with. It has been a major event since ancient times. Even Emperor Kangxi has taken such great efforts, let alone in this era.

As Emperor Zhao, he thought of a way to support the new nobles to fight against the old nobles!

Just the year before yesterday, the Yue Kingdom invaded Zhao Kingdom. During this war, Wang Dingchanghao donated huge amounts of money to the war and came into the sight of Emperor Zhao.

Therefore, Wang Dingchang became the first beneficiary of Emperor Zhao's strategy of reducing the vassals. He was directly awarded the title of Count from a merchant and became a civilian noble in one fell swoop.

But because of this, Wang Dingchang became an old nobleman and stared at the flesh in his eyes.

"So my father became the knife of Emperor Zhao's fight against the old nobles?" Wang Kang said in surprise.

"Your description is very appropriate." Zhang Lanfeng nodded.

"So that's it." Wang Kang suppressed his surprise and asked: "So there is someone behind the governor Dong Yiwu?"

"Yes!" Zhang Lanfeng said indifferently: "Dong Yiwu's call for another step because of Yangzhou's political achievements. How did this political achievements come about? It was brought by your father."

"You think he would spare no effort to suppress your Earl's Mansion when he is crazy. This is all because of someone's instructions!"

"Who is it?" Wang Kang asked.

"It is Luochuannan, the governor of Jiangxia County," Zhang Lanfeng stared at Wang Kang, "Maybe more accurate, the governor of Xishan Province, and the governor of Xuanping Hou Zhang Ao!"

Wang Kang was shocked by this. The governor of Xishan Province, even such a territorial official was behind the scenes.

No wonder the Liu family opened a new cloth shop that directly attracted the county magistrate to send plaques and write words. It turned out that this was all his approval.

"Are you shocked?" Zhang Lanfeng said with a smile.

"I'm very shocked!" Wang Kang nodded.

"Most of the entire Xishan provinces are under the power of Xuanpinghou. They want to deal with your father not only because your father is the sword of Emperor Zhao, but also the wealth of your Earl's Mansion, Fubi Yangzhou!"

Zhang Lanfeng looked at Wang Kang and said, "Since ancient times, wealth is exciting. As long as your Earl's Mansion falls, such a large amount of industries will eventually be divided up, and they will be full in an instant!"

Wang Kang's face was grim, but he never expected that there would be such a deep secret behind it.

"So? There are enemies around our Earl's Mansion!" Wang Kang said.

"So you can say that," Zhang Lanfeng nodded, "But you don't have to worry too much. They don't dare to be too direct now, because behind your father is Emperor Zhao, they will definitely have some concerns."

"You just need to be on guard against Dong Yiwu and never let him take advantage of the loopholes, but the situation after the economy may become more and more serious."

Zhang Lanfeng finally said, "But I believe you can bear it. I have a premonition that no one can endure it if you go against you!"

"Thank you, Brother Zhang!" Wang Kang stood up and said to Zhang Lanfeng Zhenzhong.

He was told too timely that these messages would have been told, otherwise he would have been shrouded in a layer of fog and could not see the direction clearly...

"Haha! Brother Kang is polite!"

Zhang Lanfeng also stood up and said to Wang Kang: "I will say goodbye, hoping to have a day of goodbye."

After Zhang Lanfeng said that, he left simply and refused Wang Kang's visit.

Looking at Zhang Lanfeng's back, Wang Kang's eyes also narrowed, afraid that Brother Zhang is not an ordinary person either.

Since they met, Zhang Lanfeng has never revealed his background, nor has Wang Kang asked.

It seems that it will be difficult to be a prodigal son in the future... Under such a severe situation, the Earl's Mansion will be in a difficult situation, let alone the young master.

However, with me here... no one can touch my Earl's Mansion!

Wang Kang's eyes were cold, and it was even more interesting to compete for power with so many people!

Just then, a noise came from outside the house.

"Let me go, let me go!"

"Your Earl's Mansion is powerful, can you arrest us urban residents for no reason?"

"What's wrong with me just writing something casually? What's wrong with me?"

"Be honest with me, what law did you say you have violated? Who asked you to slander and slander our Young Master Kang!"

This is Liu Jin's voice.

"Where did we slander? He just took the courtesan to the alley!"

There was a lot of noise outside. Wang Kang walked out of the door curiously and saw that Liu Jin and several soldiers from the Earl's Mansion were decompressing the two people in the yard.

One man and one woman, both of them looked very young, the man was silent with his head hanging down, but the woman kept cursing and struggling.

Seeing Wang Kang walk out, Liu Jin stepped forward to report: "Young Master, the two of them are the ones who compiled the booklet..."

"You are very efficient!" Wang Kang said in admiration.

"These two guys are routine offenders, so they make a living by writing these messy things. After a little inquiry, they found it!" Liu Jin said.

Wang Kang was stunned when he heard this. He was really a professional editor. He thought about it and walked to the two of them...
