"It's too much!" Zheng Zhong slapped the table and shouted loudly. The group of them went to the palace to ask Li Shimin for an explanation, but they were blocked by the other party for the reason that no one believed it. This anger was really hard to swallow.

"Your Majesty does not take us seriously at all, so he just found such a ridiculous reason!" At this time, another official from aristocratic family also said angrily. His words also aroused the indignation of other people, and they all began to exhale the anger in their chests. For a moment, the whole room was very noisy.

"Shut up!" But at this moment, a young man suddenly heard a sound of anger, covering the voices of other people in the room, and the whole room became quiet.

"Mr. Cui, what are you doing? If you are angry, can't you vent it?" At this time, someone said with some dissatisfaction with Cui Gan. Although Cui Gan has a high reputation, everyone here is also representatives of the aristocratic family, and no one is much worse than anyone else.

"Hmph, can you solve the problem by just a few words of cursing? If that's so simple, then I will follow you to scold you!" Cui Gan said mercilessly. From the beginning of Princess Pingyang smashing his home this morning, he was holding a sense of evil fire in his heart, but this evil fire was not for Princess Pingyang, but for some people sitting in front of him.

Hearing Cui Gan's sarcasm, the dissatisfied person couldn't help sitting down awkwardly. However, Zheng Zhong saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and immediately stood up to smooth things over and said, "I understand what Mr. Cui means. It's really not helpful for everyone to quarrel now. But we can't blame us. It's because His Majesty is too partial to Princess Pingyang, so everyone will inevitably feel a little unfair."

"What Mr. Zheng said is that Princess Pingyang relies on his identity to destroy my mansion and hurt my slaves. This revenge must be avenged!" At this moment, a very young official stood up and shouted. The young man was very popular, so he naturally could not bear such insults. Moreover, his idea was simpler, and he directly pointed his target at Princess Pingyang who smashed his mansion.

When the officials here heard that Princess Pingyang smashed her mansion, they became angry again. After all, they all came from aristocratic families and now they hold important positions. They have never suffered such humiliation. So everyone turned their fingers to Princess Pingyang, and many people even began to discuss how to make Princess Pingyang pay the price for what happened today, and even forced her to help her rebuild her mansion?

"Enough!" At this moment, Cui Gan roared again, and his old face changed his anger.

"What does Mr. Cui mean?" Zheng Zhong asked unhappily when he saw Cui Gan scolding everyone twice and repeatedly. After all, he had already made a smooth move just now, and now that Cui Gan got angry, it would be equivalent to refuting his face.

"Hmph, what do you mean? I want to ask you, who gave you the courage to assassinate Li Xiu?" Cui Gan asked with a sneer at this time. He had admired Zheng Zhong quite a bit before, thinking that the other party had vision and courage, but he didn't expect that he was so brave.

"It turns out that Mr. Cui was angry about this." Zheng Zhong finally understood why Cui Gan was so angry, but he smiled calmly and then said, "The main reason why we are facing this dilemma now is because of Li Xiu. Since that's the case, why don't you think of a one-time and for all way to completely eliminate this threat?"

"Do you still know that Li Xiu is the biggest threat to our aristocratic family?" Cui Gan sneered when he heard this, "Since that's the case, why don't you think about it? Now you have completely angered Li Xiu. What method should he use to deal with us next, instead of considering Princess Pingyang demolishing your mansion?"

Cui Gan's words calmed down, and in fact, as outstanding figures in the aristocratic family, they naturally did not have a fool, but they had previously been obsessed with anger, so they ignored the most important thing.

"Why don't you stop talking? Do you think my words are heavy?" Cui Gan saw that everyone stopped talking, and immediately sneered and said again, "Then I'm just talking more heavily. Even if Princess Pingyang demolished our mansion, even if she killed us, she would not hurt the foundation of the aristocratic family. But Li Xiu was different. He was directly digging out the foundation of the aristocratic family. Although there may be no effect in a short period of time, as long as we lose our foundation, we will fall down one day... Cough cough~"

When Cui Gan talked about it later, he coughed violently because he was too excited and could not continue for a while. After a long time, he calmed down his breathing and turned to Zheng Zhong and said, "I can understand your thoughts, but you must also understand one thing: if you can kill the snake, you will suffer from it. It would be fine if you can really kill Li Xiu. Although it will be very troublesome in the future, it will finally solve the biggest threat. But now Li Xiu is not only not dead, but also completely stands on the other side of our aristocratic family. Next, you will wait for his revenge!"

"I agree most of your words, but Li Xiu is his Majesty's confidant, and he has long stood opposite us. Last time you planned to recruit him, he was rejected by him? So no matter how much we give in to Li Xiu, we will not let him go. Instead of doing this, it is better to tear him off directly. The only miscalculation is to let him escape." Zheng Zhong said at the end, a bit of murderous intent flashed across his face.

The commander behind the assassination of Li Xiu was indeed Zheng Zhong. Not only him, but seven of the thirteen aristocratic officials in the process participated in this matter. The reason why they hid the moderates like Cui Gan was because they were afraid that they would oppose it, so they planned to make a mature meal. As long as Li Xiu died, Cui Gan and others had no choice but to follow them to deal with Li Shimin.

"It's a big mistake. Originally, we were just different from Li Xiu and had no life and death hatred at all. But now, because of the assassination last night, Li Xiu completely hated us, so his methods to deal with us will only be more intense in the future!" Cui Gan said again with some heartache at this time.

"Then... is there a solution?" At this time, a middle-aged man asked with some concern. This middle-aged man was Cui Fu'an from the Cui family of Qinghe. He and Zheng Zhong had visited Cui Gan together.

Cui Fu'an is also a moderate, so Cui Gan's expression on him was relatively relaxed. He immediately said, "I have sent someone to send a letter to Li Xiu and ask him to meet again, hoping that it will have some effect."
