    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 229

    "Lord Prime Minister Zuo, Your Highness the Crown Prince invites you to go to the Yang Mansion together."

    When Zuoxiang Wang Huchen was playing chess with the butler, a subordinate official from the Eastern Palace arrived.

    "I'm going right now."

    After speaking, Wang Huchen stood up, smiled and said to the housekeeper: "We will go down later."

    "Yes, sir."

    The housekeeper also stood up respectfully, and hastily ordered his servants to prepare the carriage.

    Soon, the crown prince and Zuoxiang Wang Huchen joined together, seeing the guards and city patrol soldiers stationed at the intersection, the prince's face flashed a look of displeasure.

    Because whether it is the Imperial Guard or the soldiers and horses of the City Patrol Division, it stands to reason that only the emperor can mobilize them.

    But now without the permission of the palace, they obeyed the order of the Yang family and appeared on the street, which can be said to be outrageous.

    However, the prince is very clear in his heart that the Yang family and other military families have been arrogant and domineering for a long time. If not, they would not think about eradicating this cancer.

    "Master Zuo, does this have anything to do with you?"

    The prince invited Zuoxiang Wang Huchen to get into his carriage. Before Wang Huchen sat down, the prince couldn't help but lower his voice and speak.

    Facing the prince's straight gaze, Wang Huchen also paused, and then nodded slightly.

    "Master Zuo, why are you so anxious?"

    The prince felt that Zuoxiang Wang Huchen had always been a prudent person, but he really didn't understand the two princes he ordered to assassinate the Yang family.

    "Your Highness, a lot of their strength is hidden in the dark, so I have to make a bad move to force them out." Wang Huchen said slowly.

    "And now that the imperial court has experienced such troubles from the thief army Chen Ziang, it is even more difficult. The treasury has no food and money, and everyone is asking me for money and food. It is also very difficult for me."

    "That's all, you can't hide things like this from me in the future."

    The prince also knew that Wang Huchen didn't want to get himself involved, and knew his loyalty, so he didn't want to pursue it.

    After the prince learned that Wang Huchen had instigated this matter from behind, he also had a bottom line in his heart.

    After all, the Yang family is a powerful military family. Now that two Marquis have died, one of them is the future successor. Naturally, the palace has to express something.

    The crown prince took Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen to the Yang Mansion just to make a gesture and appease them.

    The death of two Marquises in the Yang Mansion can be said to have suffered a huge loss. Now the entire Yang Mansion is dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, covered in plain onyx, and filled with an atmosphere of grief.

    After learning that the crown prince and Prime Minister Zuo were visiting late at night, Yang Hong, the head of the Yang family, did not come out to greet them, but sent a Marquis to receive them.

    The Yang family has a family of thirteen lords, stomping their feet can make the capital tremble three times, but now someone is breaking ground on the head of the Yang family.

    "His Royal Highness, Prime Minister Zuo, the Duke is too sad to welcome you. Please forgive me."

    "Please also tell the Duke, please take care of your health, the court will definitely mobilize all forces to investigate the murderer, and give the Duke and the Yang family an explanation."

    Yang Hong didn't come out to greet him in person, so although the prince was unhappy, he still showed it.

    After the prince mourned the death of the two princes, he asked Zuo Xiang Wang Huchen to personally investigate the murder of the two princes of the Yang family on the spot.

    ? Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen also vowed that he would go all out to find out the murderer as soon as possible. Naturally, the Yang family also expressed their gratitude.

    The prince went to Yang's house to mourn the murder of the two marquises, but it was just a gesture to show that the court attached great importance to this matter.

    And letting Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen personally take charge of investigating the murderer can be regarded as giving the Yang family enough face.

    Of course, the prince knew better in his heart that this matter itself was sent by Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen to investigate, and it would be strange if there was any result.

    In fact, Yang Hong, the patriarch of the Yang family, was not unable to welcome the prince because of excessive grief. At this moment, he looked very irritable like a raging lion.

    "The crown prince and Wang Huchen are gone?"

    "Report to Patriarch, they just left."

    "What did they say?"

    "His Royal Highness said to ask Patriarch to take care of your health. He has ordered Mr. Zuo Xiang to personally investigate this matter. No matter who is involved, he must investigate to the end!"

    "From this point of view, this matter should have nothing to do with the palace." A young Hou Ye analyzed from the side.

      "It's still too early to say this at this time. The princes are fighting fiercely, and it's hard to guarantee that someone will want to make use of it." Patriarch Yang Hong said with a sullen face.

    "However, no matter which prince wants to use my Yang family as a spearman, he is doomed to make a wrong calculation! The Yang family will definitely make him pay with blood!"

    Yang Hong, the Patriarch of the Yang family, knows very well that the princes are staring at the throne. Maybe some people want to take advantage of this incident and borrow their Yang family's knife to kill their opponents.

    However, Yang Hong did not guess that this time it was not an internal struggle between the princes at all, but that the old emperor wanted to deal with the Yang family.

    Because the power of the Yang family is too huge, it is so huge that it threatens the imperial power, especially the old emperor's body is getting worse day by day.

    Regarding the infighting between the princes, the old emperor is not worried, because it is a family matter after all, as long as he chooses whoever is the future emperor, there is no doubt about it.

    What he is worried about is that once he dies, the new emperor will not be able to control the situation, because these military families are too powerful.

    And now that the military family controls the imperial court, the imperial court is somewhat powerless against the rebels everywhere.

    ?Because the officers at all levels of the conquest troops of the imperial court are controlled by the children of the family, they did not do anything to suppress the rebel army, but supported the soldiers themselves. This was something that the old emperor was very upset about.

    The old emperor hoped to eradicate the most powerful military family, pave the way for the new emperor, and at the same time reduce constraints, so that the court could do its best to pacify the rebels everywhere.

    Under the combination of various reasons, the old emperor decided to take a huge risk to kill the powerful military families such as the Yang family and the Lu family to resolve the current predicament.

    "Until the murderer is found, the children of the Yang family will stay at home and stop walking around."

    "No!"

    "Let us mobilize all our power on the surface to find the murderer. I will reward you with a million dollars."

    Although the crown prince asked Zuoxiang Wang Huchen to investigate the murder of the two princes of the Yang family, the Yang family still had some doubts about Wang Huchen's ability.

    Therefore, Yang Hong, the Duke of the State, also ordered that all the power on Yang Jiaming's face be mobilized, and the murderer must be arrested.

    ?The case of the Yang family caused turmoil in the capital city for a while, and martial law was imposed everywhere in the city. The Imperial Guard, City Patrol Division, Beiya and other departments all took action one after another.

    ? Zuo Xiang Wang Huchen personally sat in the Beiya, coordinating various departments to investigate the murder of the two princes of the Yang family.

    However, it is clear that Wang Huchen, the left chancellor, was a bit of a drunkard. The murderer hadn't been found yet, but some old cases were uncovered during the search, and more than 20 small and medium-sized families were seized by the way.

    Many of the more than twenty small and medium-sized families that were seized were vassals of the big family. Facing the definite evidence, the big family was too busy putting aside their relationship and dared not protect them.

    ? Zuo Xiang Wang Huchen confiscated more than 20 small and medium-sized families, and the confiscated land alone amounted to more than 100,000 hectares. The amount is staggering.

    Hundreds of manors were inspected at the same time, and countless gold, silver, jewelry, and grains filled the empty treasury.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
