A group of gentry patriarchs knelt down and begged for mercy.

The civil and military ministers around Li Chengqian knew it, and they all looked at it calmly, wanting to stay out of the matter.

Li Chengqian was angry when he saw them in this way from the corner of his eyes, and felt unhappy. He asked with a cold face, "What's going on?"

After saying that, the shocked clan leader spoke and called out directly:

"Gao Jifu, you are also the master of the East Palace. You come to solve the doubts of the Lone King!"

Gao Jifu's mouth opened his mouth wider than that of the gentry patriarchs and he didn't react for a long time.

"Um?"

Li Chengqian and others were impatient and huhed a long time.

Gao Jifu was shocked and looked at the clan leader of the gentry kneeling on the ground with a heartless grief, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, you are asking Your Highness to send troops to quell the rebellion of Cai Wenying, a witch in Song County, as soon as possible."

Li Chengqian looked at the clan leader of the gentry, his face cleared a little, and asked, "Is that true?"

"As the high school book said, we are indeed asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible!"

Lu Quan, the leader of the Lu clan, hurriedly said.

Li Chengqian turned angry when he heard this, and looked at them and asked, "Since that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier?"

The patriarchs of the gentry almost cursed. We bent down and saluted, and you didn't even look at each other. How did we speak?

Of course, this cannot be said. According to the etiquette, they have no titles or official positions. When they see Li Chengqian, they will kneel down. In the past, no one treated them as ordinary people. Most of the officials of the fourth and fifth ranks met with each other. After a long time, they no longer regarded themselves as ordinary people.

Judging from Li Chengqian's expression, he dared not say this.

Seeing that they all lowered their heads and didn't say anything, Li Chengqian felt a little relieved. He slowly stood up, walked forward two steps, and came to the front of the tribe leaders of the gentry.

He said indifferently: "Let's just flat!"

The tribe leaders of the gentry lamented in their hearts, and stood up with support and grunt. Li Chengqian didn't even look at them, and walked forward step by step with a cane.

The civil and military ministers standing on both sides followed slowly.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was so arrogant, the clan leader of the gentry did not dare to step forward for a moment.

Li Chengqian walked to the edge of the platform and stood still. He turned around and saw that the tribe leaders of the gentry did not follow him. He waved to them gently to signal them to get closer.

"You see, the court has such loyal and mighty iron-blooded soldiers. What kind of rebellion cannot be suppressed?"

As soon as the tribe leaders of the gentry took a few steps, they saw Li Chengqian pointing proudly at the military formation below and said loudly.

Li Chengqian was almost vomiting blood. With such a powerful army, why didn't you quell the rebellion earlier?

Let that witch Cai Wenying harm us?

The Zhu family in Songxian had been damaged by Ma Jiu and suffered heavy losses. Zhu Yaohui planned to break the can and gave up and directly said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, Caomin once heard that Qu Wan said to Duke Huan of Qi: 'If you use virtue to swear the princes, who dares not accept it? If you use strength, the square city of Chu is considered a city, and the Han River is considered a pond, and even if the people have no use of it, they have no choice."

Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this, remembering that Duke Huan of Qi did have such a conversation when he conquered Chu, but at that time, there were two vassal states fighting between Qi and Chu, which was completely different from today's situation.

Li Chengqian suddenly lowered his face and asked in a cold voice: "What's your name? Tell me about the Lone King, who is Chu and Qi today? Look at these people, how can the Lone King lose their virtues?"

"The bold and unruly people dare to slander His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Du He, who was so majestic, took a step and scolded him seriously.

It was not surprising that Du He came forward to defend Li Chengqian, but who is the term "troubled"?

Zhu Yaohui, who was originally frightened by Li Chengqian, had a trembling face, and could not say a word when he heard this.

Li Chengqian looked at the clan leader with a gloomy face, waiting for them to come out to convict Zhu Yaohui.

The clan leader of the gentry also understood what Li Chengqian meant, which was to find a clan leader to establish his authority, but they knew even more that only when they advanced and retreated together, Li Chengqian would have some concerns about them, and no one stood up to speak for a while.

The two sides were in a stalemate when they saw the angry old man Liu walking to Zhu Yaohui with a breath, raising his black and thin palm, and "papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa

"A dog-like thing dares to slander His Highness the Crown Prince, bah!"

Old Man Liu still cursed angrily after he beaten up.

Old Man Liu's actions immediately stunned everyone present. Even Li Chengqian did not expect Old Man Liu to dare to attack Zhu Yaohui in public.

After a long time, Zhu Yaohui, who was stunned, realized that he could not believe it in his eyes and pointed at Old Man Liu and stuttered:

"You, you, how dare you attack me?"

Old Man Liu, who beat the man, said in a fright, "Bah! Something worse than pigs and dogs, Your Highness the Crown Prince saved me tens of thousands of poor people in Yichuan County. If you dare to disrespect Your Highness the Crown Prince, I will fight you to the death."

As soon as Old Man Liu finished speaking, the poor people standing behind him surrounded him and began to slap Zhu Yaohui in groups.

"Fight with him!"

"Battle him to death!"

...

The scene of such a disturbance suddenly became chaotic, and the ministers looked at Li Chengqian. Seeing that Li Chengqian was standing there calmly and silently, they were shocked, but they were also so scared that they dared not speak out, waiting for the end of these gentry leaders.

Several poor peasants also understood at this time. Li Chengqian was going to deal with these rich men who looked like they were so arrogant. He didn't have to think about which side he should stand on.

Although a group of people did not beat Zhu Yaohui hard again, they pushed him and shoved him. Some even deliberately hit other gentry chiefs. For a moment, the gentry chiefs stumbled and stood unsteadily.

The leader Lu Quan knew that if they did not give in today, they would not be able to leave Yichuan County. If Li Chengqian sent their families to Lingnan and distributed their property and land to the local people, ensuring that Li Chengqian had Buddhas in the surrounding areas of Luoyang.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy, "Your Highness, although Zhu Yaohui was inappropriate in his words, he thought that he was broken into his home by a rebel, and his heart was burned. Let's forgive him this time."

When he knelt down, the other tribe leaders also knelt down and pleaded: "Please spare him this time!"

Du He quietly stopped the poor peasant who was still trying to beat him up, and the scene immediately became quiet.

Li Chengqian looked at the clan leader of the gentry with a look indifferent, and asked in a cold voice: "His family was stolen by Cai Wenying's people. What does it have to do with the Lone King?"

This statement is not correct no matter what era it is. The ancient emperor said that he was the one who served the heavenly herders and protecting the people was his duty.

Li Chengqian is the future emperor, and speaking like this is equivalent to shirking responsibility.

Sure enough, a group of gentry patriarchs immediately seized the opportunity to start a counterattack.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is such a bad word. Not to mention that the Zhu family in Songxian is a family of gentry that has been passed down for hundreds of years. There have been many officials who have made meritorious service in the past dynasties. The ordinary people were robbed by the thieves, and the court should send troops to wipe out the bandits. How can it be said that it has nothing to do with Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Lu Quan was the first to retort.
