A group of officials led by Zhao Kang roared over, and it was Zhao Kang who shouted to stop.

Li Feng glanced at Zhao Kang coldly: "Ignore him and continue!"

The guards on the left and right worked together, and Lu Guanyan's uniform was torn off, revealing the intimate clothes underneath.

Zhao Kang's face was ashen and he ran into the palace: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Zhao Kang pointed at the robe that had been torn to the ground: "Master Lu has been working in Youzhou for nearly forty years. He has always been conscientious and hands-on in everything. Why did he end up stripping in front of the palace for no reason today?"

"Isn't it inappropriate for Your Highness to do this?"

Zhao Kang suffered a big loss in the palace yesterday. Not only did he lose the help of Liu Ji, but Lu Lin was also burned to death.

If he doesn't show up today, then he, the governor, will really be disgraced!

He came here today to do two things.

1. Save Lu Guanyan.

Second, let Li Feng lose face.

If he fails this time, not only will he no longer be able to win the trust of Youzhou ministers, but even Li Feng will probably despise him.

Facing Zhao Kang's question, Li Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhao Kang, is this how you become the governor?"

"Although I have lost power, I am still a vassal king. You barged into the Cheng'en Palace without being summoned, and you still dare to stand and talk to me?"

Li Feng patted the jade case with his hand, his face was like sinking in water, and he stared at the ministers in front of him.

In an instant, an awe-inspiring murderous aura swept through the hall, and several elderly civil servants knelt on the ground.

Zhao Kang's face was ashen and he wanted to speak, but Li Feng stopped him: "Prince Zhao, kneel down and answer!"

"Your Highness, you..."

"I'll make you kneel down!"

The murderous intent was revealed in the Cheng'en Palace, and Zhao Kang's face turned from green to red, but in the end he lifted his robe and knelt down: "Zhao Kang, the governor of Youzhou, pays homage to the thousand-year-old king!"

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you Chitose!"

Zhao Kang stood up, his face as dark as water: "May I ask, Your Highness, why did you humiliate Mr. Lu in public?"

As soon as Zhao Kang said this, all the civil servants standing behind him responded.

Li Feng had long seen that Zhao Kang wanted to use Lu Guanyan's incident to put pressure on him.

If he were still the foolish prince, then the two parties could naturally live in peace.

It's a pity that what Li Feng hates most in his life is being manipulated by others.

Looking at the ministers who were talking about each other, Li Feng said coldly: "Everyone, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. There is no need to discuss it in private!"

"Reporting to Your Highness, I think what you did was really inappropriate, and you should apologize to Mr. Lu!"

With a smile on his face, Li Feng looked at the official wearing a white pheasant uniform and asked: "What rank does your official residence have, and what is your position?"

"Li Guangyuan, deputy envoy of Youzhou Salt Transport..."

Before Li Guangyuan finished speaking, Li Feng interrupted him directly: "A person from the fifth rank dares to be arrogant in front of this king, and you are worthy of it!"

Although Li Guangyuan was only a fifth-rank official, he had considerable power.

Looking at Youzhou, even the governor Zhao Kang had to be in awe of him. He was stunned when he was suddenly insulted today.

"Look at you, you have the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat, and you look wretched. You only got scolded by me and you can't even say a word. I think you, the deputy salt transport envoy, grew up eating shit!"

Li Feng fired a barrage of insults at Li Guangyuan. Li Guangyuan was so angry that he turned red and pointed at Li Feng and said: "His Highness's words are so vulgar, which is really unworthy of the country. I will write a letter to you for insulting me!"

Seeing that Li Guangyuan dared to point at himself, Li Feng's face darkened: "You dare to point at me?"

"Someone, escort Li Guangyuan out of the palace and cut off his hand to show the public!"

Li Feng gave the order, and guards immediately entered the palace to fetch someone.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Kang's expression became even more gloomy. He took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Li is a scholar after all, and it is normal for him to have an upright temperament. I hope your Highness will take back his orders and let Mr. Li go."

!”

"If you dare to offend me with just one sentence about your upright temperament, then do I have to let him sit in the Cheng'en Hall?"

Zhao Kang's face became even more gloomy, but he did not dare to show any anger at all: "Your Highness said something serious. Mr. Li also cares about his colleagues, so he lost his composure and had no intention of conflict!"

As soon as Zhao Kang finished speaking, all the officials around him knelt down: "I beg your Highness to take back your order!"

Li Guangyuan had been dragged to the front of the palace at this time, and Zhao Kang also slowly raised his head: "All of my colleagues are interested in asking for help. If Your Highness does not respond, I am afraid it will chill everyone's hearts!"

"Zhao Kang, are you threatening me?"

"I don't dare!"

"Don't you dare? You are very brave!"

Li Feng stepped down from the throne and came to Zhao Kang.

His eyes were full of murderous intent, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Kang's soul.

Zhao Kang has lived in the capital for many years and has met many high-ranking officials. Even in face-to-face palace examinations and facing the king of the dynasty, he answered questions fluently without any timidity.

But today, he was surprised by Li Feng's eyes.

This look is like a ferocious beast, just looking at it makes people feel scared.

It was this look that further strengthened Zhao Kang's thoughts: "I can't keep this Chitose!"

Relying on his father Zhao Yan's prestige in the court, he was able to control the entire civil service system in Youzhou in just a few years.

There has been no war in Daqian for many years, and now it has already developed a tradition of emphasizing culture and restraining military force.

As long as he controls the civil service system, King You is destined to become a puppet!

"Zhao Kang, what are you thinking about?"

"I am thinking about how to raise funds to rebuild the palace for His Highness!"

"Oh? Tell me!"

Nowadays, many places have been hit by disasters and local treasury is in short supply. Although Li Feng squeezed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Liu Ji, he is still stretched to face the current predicament.

If Zhao Kang can put forward conditions that are enough to make his heart move, then Li Feng won't mind selling him a favor.

"Master Li is in charge of salt transportation. He can raise silver coins from Youzhou salt merchants. After all, salt merchants have to cooperate with the imperial court. They will not refuse this proposal!"

"But if Li Guangyuan is deposed, I can let others raise money!"

"Master Li's position as Deputy Salt Transport Envoy was appointed by His Majesty. This dynasty has decrees that vassal kings from all over the country are not allowed to station troops privately or interfere with the salt transport. If Master Li is abolished, I am afraid that the Youzhou salt merchants will not recognize you as the prince.

!”

Saying that, Zhao Kang glanced at Li Feng again.

"Apart from the imperial court, these salt merchants and the Cao Gang are also closely connected. Your Highness, please do not act impulsively, lest one move affects the whole body!"

This statement may seem like a reminder, but it is actually a threat.

Once Li Feng takes action, what awaits him will be the paralysis of the entire salt transportation system.

He had known that Youzhou's forces were intertwined, but he didn't expect that there were so many joints among them.

Li Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold light.

Zhao Kang did not dodge or avoid, and looked at him.

Li Feng was the top special soldier in China in his previous life. Within this distance, he could kill Zhao Kang in just one second.

But if this happens, Youzhou's entire management system will collapse.

Moreover, Zhao Kang was a third-grade governor after all, so even if he wanted to kill him, he would have to make a name for himself.

Thinking of this, Ji Feng said: "Spare Li Guangyuan from having his hand cut off..."
